Talentadong Pinoy has always been about celebrating Filipino talent wherever they are in the world.

For its latest episode, the show kicks off February with a very special Talentadong Pinoy: International Edition.

With the help of PGN Limited, TV5’s international arm, five contestants from different countries were flown in to give them the chance to showcase their talents on the grand stage of TV5’s hit show.

Edward Lava hails from Singapore, working in the Lion City as a hairstylist and a personality trainer. Also from Singapore is 11-year old singing sensation Miguel Antonio Vedanaigam who has already wowed audiences after winning a popular singing contest in Singapore. Penny Salcedo returns to the Philippines after twenty long years. She worked as an English teacher before using her singing talents to earn a living. Like Penny, Liza Parantar has not seen her children in a long time. The mother of three has worked as a domestic helper in Hong Kong for sixteen years. She considers being chosen as one of the Talentadong Pinoy contestants a blessing. Dubai-based and hardworking bartender Erick John Dizon completes the contestants of the special international episode.

Hear more about their heartwarming stories and be blown away by their world-class performances. Guest juror and international rockstar Arnel Pineda of Journey joins Tuesday Vargas and Alan K for this must-see episode.

‘LOL: Laugh or Lose’ and ‘Talentadong Pinoy’ Tied at No. 1 in Mega Manila originally appeared on Starmometer on November 15, 2010.

The grand finals of TV5′s “Talentadong Pinoy” topped the primetime race last Saturday beating erstwhile leader Pilipinas Got Talent.

On the other hand, Kapuso Movie Festival featuring the horror film “Sundo” and the replay of Diva trumped ASAP XV.

The only special program which failed to beat its competition was the telecast of Bb. Pilipinas 2010. The first part of the pageant did not beat ABS-CBN’s “Melason in Love.”

For last Monday’s battle, Panday Kids snatched the no. 1 slot from Agua Bendita which dropped to third place. Placing second was The Last Prince. Will this be a one-night thing or will it continue in the coming nights?

‘Talentadong Pinoy Finale’ Beats ‘Pilipinas Got Talent’, ‘Sundo/Diva’ Beats ASAP XV in Mega Manila originally appeared on Starmometer on March 9, 2010.

PEP reported earlier that GMA-7 is working hard to get Ryan Agoncillo as the new host of Survivor Philippines since its original host, Paolo Bediones transferred to TV5. The kapuso network is also offering Ryan the meaty role of “Andrew” in the local adaptation of the top-rating koreanovela “Endless Love: Autumn in My Heart” which is topbilled by Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.

Aside from the two shows mentioned, GMA is also preparing a game show for Ryan and a weekly news and public affairs program. And if ever GMA decides to bring back Pinoy Idol, who will be the “better” host for the show than the first one to host the first version of the franchise and it’s still Ryan. All of these in exchange for Ryan leaving the top-rating talent show on TV5, Talentadong Pinoy, because he will be an exclusive kapuso talent if he accepts the offer.

It’s also interesting to note that it was GMA Network who discovered Ryan. The husband of Judy Ann Santos started his career on GMA’s morning show in the 90′s “Mornings @ GMA” and the youth-oriented program “Campus Video”. If ever he accepts the offer, it will be his comeback to the kapuso station.

The offer is very tempting but if Ryan will leave Talentadong Pinoy, lalabas naman siyang “walang utang na loob.” But here is our take: life is filled with choices and crossroads. In showbiz, the choice is always between career and the pinoy value of “utang na loob.” But guess what the brightest stars in the country have chosen in the past? Angel Locsin chose career than utang na loob. Kris Aquino, Boy Abunda, Anne Curtis, Toni Gozaga, Cristine Reyes, Lorna Tolentino, Paolo Bediones, Claudine Barretto, i can name more but i guess you get the point. Utang na loob will not bring food on the table so i guess more than 90% of those stars who transferred to another station have “career” on their minds.

This is crucial for Ryan. His decision might come from his principle as people perceive him as “ma-prinsipyo.” But then again, he could consider the fact that it was GMA who discovered him that’s why he’s in showbiz.

Ryan Agoncillo is Choosing Between ‘Talentadong Pinoy’ VS ‘Survivor Philippines’ Plus 3 More Shows from GMA originally appeared on Starmometer on January 9, 2010.

Last year, we gave you the 8 Hottest Stars of 2008. Now, Starmometer presents the “9 Surprise Hits of 2009.”

Actually we have a shortlist of 14 celebrities/shows that were surprise hits in the local entertainment industry this year but we picked those who impacted the world of showbiz (and politics) the most and trimmed them down to 9.

In no particular order, here’s our 9 SURPRISE HITS OF 2009:

ZAIJAN JARANILLA – This new child actor surprised everyone after his teleserye May Bukas Pa became the no. 1 tv program of 2009. Zaijan has a lot of promise that’s why he keeps on receiving awards left and right. Salamat kay Bro of course who gave him the talent and use it for God’s glory!

EUGENE DOMINGO – The ever-talented comedienne Eugene “Uge” Domingo was launched this year on her first starring role in a comedy film under newbie producers which include the ultimate heartthrob Piolo Pascual. Her film, Kimmy Dora, was a box-office hit giving Eugene the tag as “the next comedy queen.”

MARICAR REYES – This model-turned-actress became a household name after the Hayden Kho sex video scandal exploded earlier this year. The setback did not hinder Maricar and it even became a stepping stone for her career as she has now appeared on various teleserye on ABS-CBN. Her performances in Maalaala Mo Kaya, Lovers in Paris, Your Song and Precious Hearts Romances made the critics noticed her acting prowess.

TALENTADONG PINOY – Who would have thought that this talent competition on TV5 trumped its rivals from the two giant networks? It even started the “talent” show craze making both GMA and ABS-CBN come up with their own similar programs. Until now, Talentadong Pinoy is topping the Mega Manila TV ratings and their claim as the no. 1 talent show ng bayan is unquestionable. Kudos to its award-winning host Ryan Agoncillo!

VALERIE CONCEPCION – Who would have thought that one of the most irritating hosts on television could win the PMPC Best Female TV Host for two years in a row! Siguro kanya kanyang taste lang yan. Pardon my term but i find her hosting unpleasant to the ears and i kinda prefer Toni Gonzaga or Pia Guanio to win this award but hey, the judges saw something in her so there’s nothing we can do but to congratulate her. I think it’s her “mass appeal” that worked for her.

NOYNOY AQUINO – From out of nowhere, Noynoy is now the front-runner among the presidentiables come 2010 elections. Thanks to his ever-vigilant sister, Kris Aquino, who manages his candidacy to be the next President of the Republic. But of course, we should not forget that Noynoy’s biggest asset why the public loves him is his squeaky clean image as he hasn’t been linked to any graft and corruption rumors whatsoever.

CARLA ABELLANA – One of the biggest surprise of the year is this daughter of veteran actor Rey PJ Abellana. Catapulted to fame by landing the lead role in GMA’s Rosalinda, Carla has also landed several endorsement deals and she’s only starting in showbiz!

ERICH GONZALES – Erich was launched in her very first teleserye “Katorse.” The premiere of the series was delayed in months that’s why some of the cast became skeptical if the show will run or get shelved. Surprisingly, ABS-CBN put the show on primetime rather than daytime block and it’s a hit nationwide! This notable achievement makes Erich in the running for the kapamilya network’s drama princess!

CRISTINE REYES – Everyone was expecting Angel Locsin to top FHM’s Sexiest Women in the World for 2009 because the “Lobo” star has the biggest and most active fanbase that could dominate the poll. In the end, Angel ended up in third place, Marian Rivera in second and Cristine Reyes as the Sexiest Woman of 2009. We have no complaints as Cristine is very very sexy indeed!
