"Galema, Anak ni Zuma" Soon on ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN's upcoming new show "Galema, Anak ni Zuma" will depict the story of mythical creatures known for having a two-headed snake wrapped around the shoulders. The Kapamilya Network and the creators of the original Zuma series—director Ben Yalung and writer Jim Fernandez—have already agreed to bring it to life again via television.

Galema, Anak ni Zuma is sure to heat up your nights with the beautiful and sultry Galema, which will be played by one of the most talented and stunning faces in showbiz.

The man behind the hit series Marina, Kampanerang Kuba, Dyosa and other popular fantaseryes, director Wenn Deramas will create the television version of Galema with Raymund Dizon as business unit head.

Anak ni Zuma was serialized by Aliwan Komiks from 1976 to 1984, making it one of the longest running series in Philippine komiks. In 1985, the film Zuma was shown to the public with Max Laurel cast as the evil Zuma and Snooky Serna as his kind-hearted daughter named Galema. Max reprised his role in the follow-up film titled Anak ni Zuma.

In the 1985 movie, Zuma (Max Laurel) was entombed in a buried Aztec pyramid but he was unearthed by an archaeological expedition team. The demigod wrecks havoc in the world but he is buried again in an avalanche. Years later, he resurfaces and faces his offspring (played by then child star Snooky Serna).

Paula Abdul: "For me this was a tough performance. Felt Las Vegas loungy for me. You need to be dominating that song.

Simon Cowell: "I couldn’t wait for it to end. You were screaming and shouting. You have no chance of winning based on that type of vocal. In the real world it isn’t good enough."

Kara DioGuardi: "We are looking for an artist. Next week you need to be an artist."

Bayani Agbayani Video Scandal

A youtube video showing an intoxicated fuming guy in a heated argument is now circulating on the internet.

The guy is said to be comedian Bayani Agbayani and the incident was happened on March 19, 2009 in a parking lot infront of Pier One Bar at The Fort, Taguig City.

In today's Wow! Ang Showbiz radio program in DWIZ, Bayani admitted that he is indeed the guy in the video.

"Kasi ang nangyari diyan, kasi yung parking lot sa The Fort, naka-hang siya pababa. So, nung pagsakay ko sa kotse ko, 'kala ko naman 'pag automatic, 'pag nasa 'D' ka hindi aatras. Nasa drive ka na, kahit hindi mo tinapakan yung gasoline, di aatras. So, umatras. May sasakyan sa likod ko, nakaparada din.

"So, may apat na lalake na lumapit sa akin. Ang sabi ko naman, ise-settle ko kasi kasalanan ko naman and besides, aksidente talaga, e. Wala tayong magagawa, e. So nung sinabi sa akin na six thousand lahat-lahat nung babayaran... Anyway, hindi ko na tiningnan yung damage, e. Isipin mo na lang, atras na six thousand ang babayaran mo. Para makaalis na rin, kasalanan ko naman, e. Ako ang umatras, e."

Bayani also mentioned that aside from the six thousand pesos payment he also asked for an apology but one of guys still hurled profane words at him, "Oo. Kaya ang sabi ko 'Alam mo, sumasaludo ako sa 'yo, bilib ako sa 'yo. Kaya lang, yung kasama niya nung nagse-settlement na kami, minura ako,'P**nang mo, 'wag mo nang i-settle 'yan, sa Crame na lang tayo magkita!"

According to Bayani he is not aware that his actions were being recorded and there's a malice intention in putting an edited video version of that incident on the internet.

"Nung parang nag-uusap na sila, parang masyadong mahinahon na ang boses nila, yun pala kinukunan na ako ng camera. Saka the moment na talagang iyu-YouTube nila, at para ipakita, talagang may motibo na sila. Unang-una pa lang, may motibo na. Ang masama kung tinakbuhan ko. Kung tinakbuhan ko yung aksidente na ginawa ko, pwede mo akong kasuhan, pwede mo akong siraan. Kaso mo, inayos ko naman, e. kaya lang, gumawa ka pa ng paraan para masira mo yung tao komo alam ko na lumalabas sa TV, personalidad..."

"Edited din yung video kase hindi do'n ipinakita kung bakit ako nagalit, e. Ipinakita yung nagagalit na ako. In-edit nila. Talagang may masama silang motibo, kasi yung sigaw pa lang niyang 'P***na, sa Crame tayo!' Ba't tayo pupunta ng Crame, e, inaayos ko na nga?"

Bayani also clarified the news that he held a gun during that time.

"Bilang lalake naman, inaalis ko yung pagiging artista ko... Wala po akong dalang baril, ha? Wala po, ha? Nag-aral naman po ako para ipagtanggol ang sarili ko. Kasi po yung iba, ang akala porke nagpapatawa ka, kayan-kayanan ka nila. Kaya kahit papaano, iinisip ko naman yung paraan para maipagtanggol ko naman yung sarili ko."

ABS-CBN Summer Station ID 2009

ABS-CBN recently launched its Summer Station ID. The station's new station ID shows how such vigor can be used to help make the country a better place.

In the colorful music video, entertainment stars and news personalities will be seen building homes for the poor, cleaning a river and the sea, sweeping streets, feeding children, among many other community activities.

They will also be dancing to a lively song performed by the Kanto Boys Billy Crawford, John Lloyd Cruz, Luis Manzano and Vhong Navarro. The song, written by Robert Labayen and Peewee Gonzales, is about "spreading love and care every day and everywhere." The music was composed by Star Records’ Christian Martinez.

ABS-CBN chose the socially relevant theme recognizing the hard times brought about by the global recession. The creators of the summer station ID believe the scarcity of material wealth can be overcome by an abundance of generosity and concern for one another. That is also why the company’s TV channel is using the battlecry Kayang-Kaya Natin, Kapamilya for the whole year.

The summer station ID was created by ABS-CBN’s Creative Communications Management Team. The project was led by Johnny de los Santos, Danie Sedilla-Cruz, Edsel Misenas, Kathrina Sanchez and Dang Baldonado. It is directed by Paolo Ramos and Peewee Gonzales. Other members are Jimmy Porca, project coordinator; Wowie Hao, cinematographer; Sam Esquillon, production designer; Rap dela Rea, editor; Maribeth Bichara, choreographer; Rosalie David, caster; and Marvin Bragas, location manager.

Manny Pacquiao Cancels Tie-up Contract with ABS-CBN; Kapamilya Respects Pacman's Decision

Manny Pacquiao finally put an end to the contestation made by his decision to tie-up and broadcast his upcoming fight with Ricky Hatton on May 2 with ABS-CBN and disregard current contract with Solar Sports and GMA-7.

In a statement—which was relayed through his legal counsel, Atty. Franklin Gacal on March 21, Pacquiao chose to drop the contract he recently signed with ABS-CBN to honor the "valid and binding" agreements between Solar Sports and MP Promotions.

Here's the message of Pacquiao:

"Ang inyo pong lingkod, si Manny Pacquiao, ay nais iparating sa lahat na matapos ang masusing pag-aaral at pagtimbang-timbang namin ng Solar Entertainment Corporation. Napatunayan na ang kontrata tungkol sa TV rights ng aking mga laban ay valid and binding, at hindi nilabag ninuman.

"Dahil po dito ay taos-puso akong humihingi ng paumanhin, kung kayo man ay naguluhan kung saan ipapalabas ang aking parating na laban kay Ricky Hatton.

"Ito po ay resulta lang ng hindi pagkakaintindihan sa pagitan ng Solar Entertainment Corporation at MP Promotions.

"Sana ay maunawaan ng lahat, at umaasa po ako sa walang tigil niyong pagsuporta at dasal sa lahat ng aking laban.

"Simula sa araw na ito ay nais kong mag-concentrate nang husto na lang sa aking training para sa aking darating na laban ngayong Mayo Dos.

"Maraming salamat at mabuhay po kayong lahat."

Meanwhile, despite the earlier announcements and teaser plugs which were aired, ABS-CBN "respects" Manny's decision.

Here is ABS-CBN's statement relayed the station's Corporate Communications head Bong Osorio:

"Manny Pacquiao approached ABS-CBN to be his media partner in airing his next fights. We thank you him for trusting us.

"He signed a contract with us, but we will not stand in the way if he decides to change his mind. We respect it, wish him good luck and we wait to hear from him."
