Pagtsugi sa show ni Willie, itinanggi

Nilinaw ng MQuest Ventures na sisibakin na ang Wil To Win ni Willie Revillame.

Ang lala ng intriga na sisibakin na nga ito sa ere dahil hindi diumano umaandar ang rating ng programa.

At hindi diumano nababawi ang mga ipinamimigay na premyo at ‘di rin daw ito nakakaungos sa programa ni Dingdong Dantes .

Pero mabilis ang denial ng MQuest na wala itong katotohanan.

Naka-one month pa lang ang programa.

“Contrary to malicious and false reports, MQuest Ventures and Mr. Willie Revillame’s long-term partnership remains steadfast, committed to sprea­ding happiness and creating winning moments for Filipinos.

“MediaQuest is thrilled to celebrate the first month of “Wil To Win” with Mr. Willie Revillame through WinQuest Productions, and we extend our gratitude to our advertisers and the Kapatid community across the country and the world,” ang buong statement nila.

Pero ang pinag-uusapan ay kung matutuloy pa raw ba ang pagkandidato ni Willie Revillame sa pagka-senador.

Zsa Zsa, nagpa-opera sa Singapore

Sumailalim pala sa panibagong operasyon si Divine Diva Zsa Zsa Padilla.

Aniya, isang mapa ng mga surgical battle ang pinagdaanan ng kanyang katawan.

Laparoscopic surgery na pinagawa niya sa Singapore.

Pinanganak na raw siyang may mega ureter. “For many years, I’ve had endless battles with UTI (urinary track infection) and taking oral antibiotics became routine. They had no proper machine in the Philippines while I was growing up and doctors only saw my real problem in 2007!

“So, my first surgery to correct this problem was 17 years ago. Right after filming Zsa Zsa Zaturnah in 2007, I underwent open surgery to finally correct my left ureter. It was tapered and reinserted in my bladder,” aniya sa isang post habang nasa hospital bed siya sa Singapore.

Pero noong nakaraang taon, mas malala na raw ang impeksyon na nararanasan niya at mas mahirap gamutin.

“I went to the US in January but was advised not to have surgery. I was disappointed because I didn’t know what to do about my problem. I then thought of Singapore since I heard of people going here for their medical needs,” pag-alala niya pa. “They told me they could do laparoscopic surgery to correct my problem. We set a date and now I’m still in hospital recupera­ting. I’m glad they didn’t open me up. And of course my case wasn’t an easy one since I was already operated on before. And there are scar tissues to deal with. Dr Bang said the surgery was straightforward. They didn’t perform a boari flap as planned. Part of the ureter was cut then reinserted in my bladder. And I have 6 new holes from the laparoscopic surgery,” aniya pa sa kanyang naranasan.

“So, I’ll be taking it easy for this month and the next then I’ll see you when I promote my new album,” bahagi ng kanyang mahabang post.

Binaha naman siya ng mga get well messages.

MMFF at IAcademy, nagpirmahan ng kontrata

Lumagda ang Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) at iAcademy sa isang memorandum of understanding (MOU) last Thursday para gumawa ng mga mural na magpapakita ng mga iconic na pelikula mula sa Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng 50th anniversary nito ngayong taon.

Sa ilalim ng partnership, magpipinta ang mga estudyante ng iAcademy ng mga mural na nagtatampok ng ilang MMFF film posters mula sa nakalipas na 50 taon, na magbibigay sa mga manonood ng makulay at nostalgic na art display sa kahabaan ng EDSA.

Pinangunahan ni MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes ang ginanap na MOU signing, na nagpasalamat sa iAcademy for their support of the agency, na hindi lang pagagandahin ang walls along EDSA through the students’ artwork but also help promote the MMFF 50th edition under the theme Sine-Sigla sa Singkwenta. 

“We will make EDSA nostalgic through murals of hand-painted movie posters to celebrate the rich history of MMFF,” said Artes, citing that the agency is contacting hand-painted movie poster artists to collaborate with the iAcademy students.

Isa mga proposed locations for the murals is along EDSA, from Buendia to Ayala, which is approximately 653 meters in length.

 Meanwhile, iAcademy chief operating officer Raquel Wong expressed gratitude for the trust of the MMDA, citing that the program “symbolizes our shared commitment and uses creativity to enhance our public spaces. The artworks of our students will showcase not only their skills but the Filipino life, community, and creativity.

 “We are excited to show that these artworks will inspire and remind everyone of the power of creative collaboration in shaping our urban environment,” said Wong.
