This pandemic has introduced us to many new faces in the entertainment industry, I consider these newbies as the brave ones, they are the ones ready to take on the challenge and ready to give us something different, something new, and something fresh on our televisions. 



These past few months, Regal Entertainment Inc. has been introducing new breed of artists in their shows on GMA Network, whether on Regal Studio Presents or the Mano Po Legacy series that started out last January and speaking of Mano Po, we are introducing our latest Guy for this Month, say hello to Tyrone Tan. 

Born Tyrone Edric Tan, this 21 year old college student from La Salle is into basketball back in high school, he actually dreamt of playing in the collegiate league, but he got derailed of this dream and had to sidelined it as he was introduced to a new world, showbizness. 

Tyrone is not new from showbizness, his barkada is composed of celebrities as well like Kristoffer Martin, Andrew Muhlach, Prince Clemente, and Paul Salas, they were the ones who inspired Tyrone to enter showbizness as well and to make a name of his own in this industry. 

He shared that before entering showbiz people would recognized and tell him "Ui ikaw yung friend ni ganito", there he told himself he will be known as Tyrone and not just as a friend. 

Tyrone got his first dibs in showbizness when he tried out for Starstruck back in 2019 although he wasn't able to make it as a finalist. Currently, Tyrone is part of the newest Mano Po Legacy: Her Big Boss, he shared that it was a childhood dream to become part of the Mano Po series and now he is fulfilling it as he plays the role of "David" the confidant of the main character Richard played by Ken Chan. 

It was an overwhelming experience for Tyrone now that he was able to break in to showbizness and now he is part of a project that he wants to be part when he was a kid. 


1. Any dream role or project? What genre would you think you will suit best? 

"Gusto ko magka horror show, shake rattle and roll ganyan."

2. Who do you want to work with in your future projects? 

"Pinaka gusto ko talagang maka work, sana talaga is makasama ko yung mga tropa ko sa isang show, sina Paul, Prince, sina Tun tun (Kristoffer), feeling ko parang sobrang gaan lang ng set nun kapag kami ang magkakasama." 

3. How far can you go as an actor? 

"As much as possible gusto ko talagang ipush yung sarili ko to the limit, pero syempre meron pa din akong values na tinatatag sa sarili ko, di ko talaga alam it depends siguro on the spot ako makakpag decide kung kaya ko gawin o hindi, kunyare yung maghubad para sa isang role. 

Siguro much I can do right now is yung shirtless ganyan." 

4. How was the experience of being in showbiz? 

"Every taping day is an acting experience for me to learn." 

5. Best advice you received? 

"There's no big or small role here in showbiz kasi you get a chance to play a character that is part of the story, so wag mo isipin kung maliit or malaki yung role mo kasi mapapansin at mapapansin ka ng tao." 


Gabby Concepcion and Sanya Lopez make viewers fall in love anew in ‘First Lady’

 This Valentine’s Day, GMA Entertainment Group proudly presents one of the Network’s most anticipated series and the sequel to the Philippines’ No. 1 show for 2021, ‘First Lady.’





The original drama stars once again the swoon-worthy pairing of award-winning actor Gabby Concepcion as President Glenn Acosta and brilliant Kapuso actress Sanya Lopez as First Lady Melody Acosta.

“Talagang hindi naman namin iniisip na magkakaroon ng book 2,” Gabby shared. “Although, ‘yung first book, talagang napakaganda. We have a good team that brought us to where we are right now.”

On the other hand, Sanya admits that the change in her character is challenging. “Mas challenging po talaga ang maging First Lady,” she said. “’Yung First Yaya kasi medyo malapit-lapit pa talaga kay Sanya ‘yung character eh. Unlike now, ‘yung pagiging First Lady inaaral ko po talaga. Of course, nandyan din naman po si Direk LA (Madridejos) to help me.”

First Yaya ended on a happy note with the fairytale romance of President Glenn and Melody. This time around, the newlywed couple navigates new territory and delves into trust and doubt; change and tradition; and the line of clear communication that will challenge their marriage. As Glenn seeks another term to his presidency, Melody needs to reassess and find her place once more in her husband’s ever-chaotic and busy life.

Playing important roles in the primetime soap are Pancho Magno as he reprises his role as PSG Captain Conrad Enriquez, head of PGA’s security detail and the primary protector of the First Family; Ms. Pilar Pilapil as Blesilda, the headstrong mother of PGA who will stop at nothing to protect the presidency; Boboy Garovillo as Florencio, Melody’s father who passed away but still appears to her visions; Maxine Medina as Lorraine, Assistant Secretary of the Presidential Communications and Head of the Speech Writers Group and Melody’s former rival turned “frienemy”; Thou Reyes as Yessy, Presidential Management Chief-of-Staff who also holds the post of Presidential Spokesperson; and Ms. Sandy Andolong as Edna, the loving and streetwise mother of Melody. 

Back to showcase more spark and fun are Cassy Legaspi as Nina Acosta, the eldest daughter of PGA who is also running for a position in her school government; and JD Domagoso as Jonas, Nina’s boyfriend who also joins the school campus elections but ends up competing against her. Also returning to the series are Clarence Delgado as Nathan, the second child of PGA whose resolve is tested when his family is besieged by challenges to their stability and security; and Patricia Coma as Nicole, the youngest child of PGA who is closest to Melody.

Making the series more exciting is seasoned actress Alice Dixson as Atty. Ingrid Domingo, a political strategist that eventually gets hired by President Glenn Acosta’s (PGA) campaign team to be the political director of his presidential bid. Moreover, she is revealed to be Glenn’s former serious girlfriend – a fact that could rock not just the presidency, but also the President’s family.

In a very special guest appearance, award-winning actor and one of GMA's prime leading men Rocco Nacino steps in as Mayor Moises Valentin, a rising political star and young hotshot Mayor of “Magat” City. He is suave and good-looking, and develops a “special” friendship with Melody even when he is allied with the opposition party.

The other addition to the powerhouse cast includes Isabel Rivas as Allegra Trinidad, a former first lady and former number 1-elected senator. She’s the queen bee of a group of three former first ladies terrorizing the new first lady and former yaya, Melody; Francine Prieto as Soledad Cortez, a former first lady initially loyal to Allegra who ends up becoming an adversary; Samantha Lopez as Ambrocia Bolivar, another former first lady who is loyal to Allegra; Shyr Valdez as Manang Sioning, a veteran staff of the Presidential palace who was on leave but is now back to make sure that everything is under order; John Feir as Teddy, President Glenn Acosta’s Campaign Manager; Divine as Bella, Yessy’s office assistant and Ingrid’s double-agent.  

Returning to the series as well to spice up the lives of PGA and Melody are the well-loved characters of Kakai Bautista as Pepita; Analyn Barro as Gem Rose Reyes-Agcaoili; Glenda Garcia as Marni Tupaz; Cai Cortez as Norma; Thia Thomalla as PSG Lt. Val Cañete; Anjo Damiles as Jasper Agcaoili; Jon Lucas as Titus De Villa; Jerick Dolormente as Lloyd Reyes;  Muriel Lomadilla as Bevs; Kiel Rodriguez as PSG Paul Librada; Atak as Impak; Cecil Paz as Jesse.

With the upcoming presidential elections, the series will also serve as a timely and relatable source of entertainment for Filipinos nationwide. Political and research consultants, including a national elections political strategist and a current member of the Presidential Management Staff (PMS), were hired to help to create a realistic view of the First Family’s daily life.

‘First Lady’ is under the supervision of the GMA Entertainment Group headed by SVP for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable, VP for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, AVP for Drama Helen Rose Sese, Senior Program Manager Ali Nokom-Dedicatoria, and Executive Producer Joy Lumboy-Pili.

The drama is a product of the visionary minds of Concept Creators Jojo Tawasil Nones and Marlon G. Miguel; Creative Director Aloy Adlawan; Content Development Consultant Ricky Lee; Creative Head Dode Cruz; Creative Consultant Kit Villanueva-Zapata; Headwriter Jojo Tawasil Nones; Senior Writers Marlon G. Miguel, Christine Badillo-Novicio, and Obet Villela; and Junior brainstormer Jai Shane Canete.

Catch the highly-anticipated world premiere of 'First Lady' – under the helm of esteemed director LA Madridejos and associate director Rechie del Carmen – beginning February 14, weeknights, on GMA, GTV and Heart of Asia.

The Philippines is proudly represented by 1 competition film, 1 featured film, 6 production companies, 8 filmmakers, and event participation to be led by the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) in one of the world’s leading and most reputable film festivals, the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), slated from February 10 to 20, 2022 in Germany. 


The 72nd Berlinale is an opportunity to showcase Filipino talents and works in a prestigious international platform. It is being held as an in-person event with reduced seating capacity of 50% in selected movie theaters, while the Berlinale Industry sections: European Film Market (EFM), Berlinale Co-Production Market (BCM), Berlinale Talents, and World Cinema Fund is being held entirely online from February 10 to 17. 


“The Berlinale, one of the top three most important and much-awaited international film festivals in the world, has been continuously recognizing our Filipino filmmakers by  providing various platforms to showcase films, nurture filmmakers, and develop film projects. I trust that our filmmakers will make use of the experience and knowledge they will gain from being a part of this A-list festival and bring back the learnings to the local film industry,” said FDCP Chairperson and CEO Liza Diño.


Filipino Films in Berlinale


The short film It’s Raining Frogs Outside (Ampangabagat Nin Talakba Ha Likol) by director Maria Estela Paiso was selected to compete in the Berlinale Shorts section against twenty other short film entries from all over the world. It’s Raining Frogs Outside, the only Filipino film in the festival’s official selection, won the Gender Sensitivity Award in the QCinema International Film Festival last year. Director Estela Paiso made history for being the first Filipina filmmaker in the Berlinale Shorts history.

Two Filipinos will take part in the Berlinale Talents: production designer Connie Valera and director and producer Rafael Manuel, while producer Bianca Balbuena-Liew will be part of the Short Form Station as a mentor. 


Country Session


The BCM Country Session on February 13 will feature representatives from the Philippines, United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland, and Brazil. They will discuss co-producing and funding opportunities in their respective countries. 


Under the FDCP, FilmPhilippines Office (FPO) facilitates the promotion of the country as a viable filming destination for international productions, while UniPhilippines aims to assist and support Filipino films and filmmakers to gain exposure in the global scene by participating in international film festivals and markets. 


The FDCP’s FPO and UniPhilippines, to be represented by Chairperson Liza Diño, will share about the Agency’s FilmPhilippines Incentives Program composed of the Film Location Engagement Desk (FLEX), Film Location Incentive Program (FLIP), International Co-production Fund (ICOF), and ASEAN Co-production Fund (ACOF).

FDCP to Hold a Night of Celebration for PH Cinema’s Global Wins

 


The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) will once again be honoring the stalwarts of Philippine cinema whose performances and cinematic work have brought recognition to our country through their awards and citations from the foremost international film festivals of the world, at the 6th Film Ambassador’s Night on February 27, 2022 at the reopened historical Manila Metropolitan Theater.  

 
 

Every year, the Film Ambassador’s Night aims to recognize the films and filmmakers that gave pride to the Philippines in the past yearfilms that competed and screened on the global stage, placing Filipino talent side by side to the finest ones in the world.  

 
 

For the past five years of this gathering of some of the brightest artists of the Philippine film industry, FDCP has honored a total of 319 Film ambassadors. The list grows even longer with the addition of 77 awardees for this year’s awarding.  

 
 

“It’s another year's worth of victories with the best of the best Filipino films being recognized around the world, highlighting our cultural heritage in cinema over the years. As we have continued to reach altitudes on the global stage, we applaud each filmmaker who shared his or her talent, creativity, and passion to the world. We created this night to celebrate you,” FDCP Chairperson and CEO, Liza Diño expressed her excitement for this year’s awarding. 

 
 

The annual ceremony will also be presenting the special honors of the evening the Camera Obscura Award, as the highest honor granted by the FDCP to a film worker or a film project with extraordinary achievements with two recipients; A-list Winners for winning at top international film festivals with three recipients; and the Gabay ng Industriya Award (Ilaw ng Industriya and Haligi ng Industriya), given to individuals who have made outstanding contributions during their lifetime becoming respected pillars of the Philippine film industry. Honorees for these will be unveiled by the Agency in the coming days.  

 
 

The year 2021 was a challenging one for the industry with the global pandemic limiting distribution opportunities, on-ground events, and filming logistics. As the Philippine cinema continues to transition and overcome challenges, recognitions and notable participations in the major leagues of the international film scene is a worthy cause of celebration in this much-awaited occasion.  

 
 

The 6th Film Ambassador’s Night will be an exclusive, invitational event for this year’s honorees at the MET Theater—a fitting home for this very important event—the cultural gem of Manila which recently celebrated its 90th anniversary.
