Talk ‘N Text, the value brand of leading wireless services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has renewed the engagement of primetime actress Marian Rivera as its endorser.

With over 30 million subscribers nationwide, Talk 'N Text is the country's largest prepaid mobile service.

“It is our pleasure to have Marian Rivera continue representing Talk ‘N Text,” Smart Brand Equity Management Head Carlo Endaya said.

“With her positive outlook and influence, she effectively carries the ‘Araw-Araw Panalo’ message of the brand, which is about celebrating small everyday victories in our ordinary life,“ Endaya added.

Rivera, who rose to stardom for her engaging portrayals in hit television series such as ‘Marimar,’ ‘Darna,’ ‘Amaya’ and ‘Temptation of Wife,’ first inked an endorsement contract with Talk ‘N Text in 2009.

“I am just so grateful for the continued trust of Talk ‘N Text,“ Rivera said at the contract signing held at the Smart Tower on Ayala Avenue in Makati.

“Talk ‘N Text is very close to my heart because of its message that tells us to always look for winning moments in our daily life. Through its affordable services, Talk ‘N Text helps us to share these moments with our loved ones,” Rivera added.

A certified crowd-drawer, Rivera has been a main feature at Talk ‘N Text anniversary celebrations, dubbed as ‘Anibersaya.’ She recently graced shows held in Aparri, Binangonan and Tarlac, delighting throngs of Talk ‘N Text subscribers.

In celebration of Rivera’s contract renewal, Talk ‘N Text announced simultaneous special screenings of the actress’ latest hit comedy film ‘Kung Fu Divas’ as a reward for subscribers under the Talk ‘N Text ‘Loyalista’ program.

Pre-drawn loyal Talk ‘N Text subscribers would have a chance to see the blockbuster movie with their loved ones in special screenings set in Sta. Lucia Mall in Antipolo City; JTC Mall in Vigan, Ilocos Sur; SM City in San Fernando, Pampanga; Pacific Mall in Legazpi City, Albay; Island City Mall in Tagbilaran, Bohol; and Gaisano in Tagum, Davao del Norte.

“Following Marian Rivera’s contract renewal, Talk ‘N Text is thrilled to roll out more product offerings attuned to the needs of our growing number of subscribers,” Prepaid Business Group head Jane Basas noted.

“Of course, we stay committed to giving affordable rates for reliable services that are backed by the country’s most reliable mobile network. But on top of that, Talk ‘N Text will continue to give back to subscribers in ways that are simple, yet full of impact,” she added.

Such Mesmerized Look

Image courtesy of www.diskuspublishing.com 

Versatile Performer (VP) and Erratic Actress (EA) were scheduled to guest on a weekly talk show to promote their project. For VP, this project is just but one of the series of her movies being shown in the next weeks. However, for EA this project is one that could reignite whatever is left of her career. Thus, VP gamely matched wits with EA and even coined a special tag inspired by EA.

Their guesting included performing the opening for the show. However, two hours before they were on air, EA arrived and allegedly seemed to be wasted. Her mind was wandering off and at certain times, she was not talking at all. Seeing that EA might become unpredictable when they go on with the show, the production cancelled their opening number. So, the host just settled to have an interview with VP and EA.

During the show, several viewers noticed that EA was not in her usual element. She was giving funny answers that seemed off. Some noticed that she kept her mouth agape, which could be a sign of amazement or a sign of not being attuned to what was happening. Of course, VP and the host had to make sure their spiels were able to keep the energy going.

Why was EA not in her element that night? Could she no longer kick her old habit? In a few months, EA will soon have another movie. The industry has been kind to her despite her misbehaviors. The least EA could do is try to shape up and bring back that old magic that endeared her to the public ever since she was a child star.

There's nothing as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance. -Rachel Griffiths

Angel Locsin to Play Darna in Movie

Actress Angel Locsin will once again wear the costume of Filipina superhero Darna -- but this time on the big screen.

This was confirmed by Star Cinema managing director Malou Santos in an interview with the Manila Bulletin, which was published in its website on Sunday.

Santos’ confirmation finally put an end to speculations as to who will play the Pinay superhero after ABS-CBN had acquired exclusive rights to the Mars Ravelo creation.

“For Darna, we’re already done with the story of her past. We’re already brainstorming. We’re targeting next year for filming. So tuloy-tuloy na ‘yun,” she said in the interview.

Santos said it is Star Cinema’s goal to showcase special effects to offer something new to the viewers.

“Sa ngayon, I think the best production outfit na may ganung kapasidad is Reality. That is why we have a partnership with them. In fact, when we bought the Mars Ravelo stories, gusto namin isa-pelikula ang Darna kung sino si Darna sa panahon ngayon. Definitely, the effects will be different from the past Darna movies,” she said.

In a previous interview, Locsin said she would love to portray Darna again if ever the ABS-CBN management gives her the opportunity.

Locsin said Darna has already become part of her and it would delight her to give life to the character again.

“Ako kasi si Darna, feeling ko talaga eh. Kahit hindi ibigay ulit sa akin ang bato, part na siya ng pagkatao ko. 'Yung magkaroon ako ng opportunity at nagawa ko naman nang maayos 'yung duty ko bilang si Darna, malaking bagay na 'yun sa akin. Pero kung magbabalik ako, okay lang,” she said at the time.

Locsin has already played Darna on television in 2005. The most recent TV incarnation of Darna is actress Marian Rivera, who appeared in a 2009 series by GMA-7.

‘Magic Temple’ movie

Aside from the film adaptation of “Darna,” Santos revealed that Star Cinema is also planning to do a remake of the 1996 film “Magic Temple,” which will be headlined by Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.

“Bagong special effects din ang gagawin. In fact, we’re thinking of doing a franchise of ‘Magic Temple’ na limang pelikula. Kapag may ‘Magic Temple,’ magkakaroon ng ‘Magic City,’ etc. So five stories na tuloy-tuloy,” she said.

“The first draft of the script of 'Magic Temple' already arrived,” she added.

Also released by Star Cinema in 1996, the fantasy-adventure film originally starred then-child stars Marc Solis, Anna Larrucea and Carlo Aquino among others.

Jostling in the Tug-o-War

Image courtesy of www.memegenerator.net

Loyal Personality (LP) has always been respected for his attitude towards the youth who would want to have a career in showbusiness. Over the years, LP has discovered and trained hundreds of talents. Some made it, while others dropped out of the race for fame for various reasons. While his contemporaries have faded away from the limelight, LP is still as energetic as the day he began his career from humble beginnings.

For the past years, LP has been bent on making his ward (HW) achieve as much fame as his previous discoveries. LP has stood by the side of HW and treated the talent like family. Of course, malicious minds think that LP has more than paternal feelings for HW. Like a typical teener, HW would sometimes not follow the advice of LP. Yet, LP would patiently remind HW to develop values that could help maintain his career.

However, HW realized that LP seems to be fancying a newcomer (NC) who happens to be better looking, more talented, and taller. In such a short time, NC has appeared in several shows in the network, and has even won recognition from an entertainment-oriented body. In fact, he has even been rumored to have a questionable sexual orientation, which he has denied in his interviews.

When HW saw NC at the home of LP, HW started to feel jealous that LP might start favoring NC over him. Their seeming rivalry worsened when HW and NC allegedly had a confrontation the backstage of their show.

Is LP really shifting more of his attention to NC than to HW? What will happen to the career of HW if in case, LP does focus his energy to help prop up the career of NC? At any rate, LP could be feeling elated as two young men are fighting over his attention, and perhaps, affection.

The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other. -Luciano Pavarotti

Joined by Infinite Lust

Image courtesy of www.sorrowfulbliss.deviantart.com

Years ago, a liberated and controversial woman LW won a local beauty pageant and later on joined show business. Her entry in the entertainment industry was met with reservations by some cynics, particularly showbiz people themselves. The no holds barred LW became more talked-about for her views and brutal honesty that made the public cringe and amused every time she would open her mouth. LW was a non-conformist who was passionately hated by her critics, both in and out of the business.

As expected, LW 's persona did not sit well with the so-called " moralistas," who were scandalized with LW 's pronouncements especially about sensitive matters like sex. Nevertheless, the head-strong LW was able to survive it all, and even won accolades as a thespian.

At present, even in her advancing age, LW is still desirable and unstoppable. She continues to live her life with such passion, never allowing the years to cripple her from doing what she wants and does best. She was, and still is very capable of anything, anytime, anywhere. And how?

The public may see nothing wrong if LW is regularly seen in the company of a much younger and once Popular Actor PA - as they have something in common. Both occasionally meet, mostly with their colleagues, to discuss some matters pertaining to their group. But what is appalling is that they have allegedly become more than just org-mates. LW and the equally deviant PA have found each other to share one more thing they both love. The two are now reportedly f buddies.

At the home of LW one day, she and PA were reportedly doing it so passionately when LW's child caught them in the room. But the child - probably so used to LW's shenanigans - just told her to be careful and not be caught red-handed by the child's father. And how did PA react? Well, he probably thought that if LW can be so upfront even with her child, why would he be bothered by his wife?

Pinoys Get ‘Augmented Reality’ Treatment at Smart’s First Interactive Concert


Virtual and physical worlds will collide as wireless leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) brings augmented reality technology to the Smart Bro Live and Loud concert, the telco’s first-ever interactive music event that will put audiences in control of their entertainment choices.

Using only their smartphones and tablets, Filipinos who want to experience augmented reality (AR) technology can simply point their devices at any Smart Bro Live and Loud concert poster scattered across Metro Manila and published in major newspapers to experience this unique innovation firsthand.

The AR-powered posters are located in Smart stores, gadget and PC outlets around major malls in Metro Manila, including those located Robinson’s Galleria, SM North EDSA, SM Megamall, SM Fairview, Glorietta 2, Alabang Town Center, and Trinoma, among many others.

As an added bonus, smartphone and tablet users who are willing to try out this interactive technology will be rewarded at the end of the experience by entering Smart Bro’s Live and Loud Microsite and register for free tickets to the concert, happening on October 4 at the TriNoMa Mindanao Parking area.

Users only need to download an app called “Zappar” and install it on their Android or iOS device to experience this unique innovation. By pointing the app’s camera at the Smart Bro Live and Loud concert poster, they will instantly be treated to an exciting video experience that will give themmore info on how to enjoy and view the concert.

“Augmented reality gives users dynamic and relevant content they can enjoy on the spot, without having to log on to their notebooks or desktop computers,” explained Michelle Curran, Data and International Services Marketing Head at Smart. “With this innovation, we take engagement to the next level as we prepare to mount Smart’s first-ever interactive concert.”

AR, now made popular by new technologies such as Nokia’s CityLens and the upcoming Google Glass, provides a live and direct view of the physical environment augmented by computer-generated data such as videos, photos, or GPS information to enhance the user experience.

While pointing a device’s camera on a street, for example, electronic data can be placed over buildings and establishments to show its business name, contact details, promotional activities, and other information relevant to the user.

Two of the country’s top newspapers already employ this technology to breathe new life to their static print output, while a number of magazines and other publications use AR to produce more dynamic content for their audience—such as models seemingly coming to life and jumping out of the paper to interact with the reader.

Already an interactive feat by itself, the Smart Bro Live and Loud concert will pool four of the country’s top iconic OPM acts, namely Raimund Marasigan, Barbie Almalbis, Rico Blanco, and Ely Buendia, to perform on a single stage controlled digitally by concert-goers and viewers at home.

The live audience during the concert proper gets the power to control the stage, from setting the platform ablaze with jet sparks to releasing haze and streams of smoke heightening the mystery and excitement of each performance, and even discharging beaming laser lights across the venue, giving the total concert experience to the hands of concert-goers and watchers.

The Smart Bro Live and Loud concert also allows people to vote online at smart.com.ph/LiveandLoud for the top 3 songs that each of the artists will sing solo and collaboratively during the concert.

Subscribers, meanwhile, can get free tickets to the concert through the Live and Loud portal, but those who can’t make it to the concert day itself can view the show through a livestream service accessible via the dedicated microsite and through Smart’s YouTube channel.

“Broadband Internet has empowered many facets of Filipinos’ lives by delivering rich content that they wouldn’t otherwise experience on other platforms. With the Smart Bro Live and Loud concert and its various interactive features, users get the power to control the concert experience, the same way they are empowered to do a lot of new and exciting things using broadband Internet,” Curran added.

For more information on ticket availability and to vote for your favorite songs to be performed live during the October 4 concert, visit smart.com.ph/LiveandLoud.
