Laugh About Kapamilya...Again
Freddie Aguilar says Charice and Arnel Pineda just proved that Filipinos are "monkeys"

Matitindi ang naging pahayag ng legendary singer/composer na si Freddie Aguilar ukol sa ilang kaganapan sa music scene, partikular ang hinggil sa piracy sa music industry, pati ang adhikain niyang pagpapalit ng ilang linya sa Lupang Hinirang, at ang pagiging prominente ngayon ng ilang Pinoy talents sa Amerika tulad nina Charice Pempengco at Arnel Pineda ng Journey.

"Hindi maganda ang masasabi ko, e, gusto n'yo sabihin ko?" tila parang pasintabi niya na may halong paghahamon nang tanungin ng PEP (Phlippine Entertaiment Portal) si Freddie tungkol kina Charice at Arnel noong July 3 sa grand opening ng kanyang Ka Freddie's Music Bar and Restaurant sa Adriatico, Manila.

"E, pinatototohanan lang ang sinabi ni Mariah Carey na tayong mga Filipino ay mga unggoy. Kasi, wala tayong sarili, gaya-gaya lang tayo. Nasa Amerika ka na, binigyan ka na ng pagkakataon na kumanta sa Oprah, bakit kumanta ka pa ng kanta ni Celine Dion? Sinabi ni Mariah na mga unggoy ang Filipino, gaya-gaya lang kayo, e, di napatunayan nga, totoo nga.

"Kasi, di ba, what monkeys see, monkeys do. Dapat ang kinanta niya, bakit hindi 'Dahil Sa Iyo' o kaya ay kahit ano, basta kantang Filipino? O kaya Visayan, Ilocano... lalo siyang sisikat sa buong mundo nun," pahayag ni Freddie.

Pero hindi naman talaga napatunayan na sinabi ni Mariah na "monkey" ang Pinoy...

FHM PHILIPPINES STILL IN HOT PURSUIT OF MARIAN RIVERA
Marian Rivera may have failed to defend her crown as the country's sexiest but it doesn't mean that FHM Philippines is about to wave the white flag concerning her much anticipated cover debut.

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) had the chance to talk to FHM Philippines Editor-in-Chief Allan Madrilejos last July 1 at the Kamayan/Saisaki/Dad's restaurant in Greenhills, EDSA. The press conference was staged to promote the upcoming 100 Sexiest Women in the World event to be held on July 9 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

Negotiations for Marian's possible FHM cover appearance are still ongoing, according to Allan.

"'Yong latest kasi, October pa raw siya mapi-free sa kanyang mga endorsements na specifically merong morality clause which prevents her from posing sa mga men's magazine kagaya ng FHM. Ipu-pursue pa rin, bakit hindi, di ba?" enthused Allan.

The entire team behind the magazine is hopeful that Marian's forthcoming television role as the sexy high-flying Pinay superhero, Darna, would somehow loosen the cordon and finally convince the young actress to accept the long-standing proposal.

Allan personally feels that Marian's strong showing and eventual triumph last year would not be complete without the validation that comes with gracing the front page of the nation's premier men's magazine.

My KAPUSO PROFILE LIST
Click On The Pictures For Artist Profile...
Kapuso DIVAS
REGINE VELASQUEZ The undisputed Asia's Songbird continues to reign supreme- be it recordings & concerts, tv shows and even movies. Her stellar power is no doubt truly iconic in scope. Still a BESTSELLER in recording and concerts
JAYA RAMSEY, still the one and only Philippine music's Queen of Soul remains visible while her contemparies have long waned down. Her voice is powerful and unmatched when it comes to soul music.
KYLA, known as the R&B Princess of Philippine music is a force to reckon with in her own turf. She can amazingly with ease, sing a jazzy note and soar next to high notes nobody expected of her.
SOP's homegrown young batch of divas is composed of Pinoy Pop Superstar graduates- Jonalyn Viray, Aicelle Santos & Maricris Garcia who collectively known as LA DIVA, the hit sensation in GMA 7"s SOP that stunned music listeners with their powerful blending and vocal dynamics (that caused rival show to poorly come up with their imitation, YRS). From boobtube to local concert scene, the trio is now all set to set a storm in Los Angeles, California, USA. Critics are all but praises. In YouTube alone, already 400 vidclips are uploaded while their counterpart YRS has none so far(seems that nobody is interested with a copycat)
Kapuso BALLADEERS
JAY R, local music's male counterpart for Kyla, as the R&B Prince, is one of the most prolific male vocal performer - a singer and a songwriter. His voice is truly cool & awesome, a distinctive style all his own
JANNO GIBBS, the country's King of Soul, unknownst to many, is a prolific singer songwriter himself (though less celebrated than his buddy Ogie) and had come up witha string of hits of hiw own
OGIE ALCASID, although vocally not as distinctive as other singers, is no doubt, modern OPM's most prolific singer songwriter in the land, making music for almost all singers in the OPM
My Kapuso ACTRESS
MARIAN RIVERA is no doubt and even hands down, today's hottest actress in the country- TV, film and commercial endorsements. Her phenomenal star has shone even brighter this year.
SUNSHINE DIZON, is an actress par excellance that no one dares to question. Who would if you're claim is backed by awards and high TV ratings? Sunshine is indeed a calibre on her own
IZA CALZADO, is both beauty & talent rolled into one. She is both feisty and innocent, a heroine and a villainess. She is but one step away in conquering Hollywood
My Kapuso ACTORS
DINGDONG DANTES who started it out as cute teeny bopper is now the country's Most Eligible & Sexiest Bachelor in the World, a bankable TV & Film actor, a director, a topnotch commercial endorser. His rise in the last two years from mediocrity is just as phenomenal as his partner- Marian Rivera
DENNIS TRILLO is one of the most accomplished young actors today- from being a multi-award winner in his debut movie to one TV & movie projects after another, Dennis also conquered music on his own terms. Truly a gifted artist
RICHARD GOMEZ's contemporaries have long been gone- but not him. He remain as visible as today as he was in his heydays. His charm remain, his talent unmmatched. He is still is GMA 7"s priceless talent, a man of his words and honor
Kapuso Faces To Watch Out For
RHIAN RAMOS, both a stunning beauty and a talented gal who started it out as McDo gal now has proven her worth with her recently concluded La Lola series
WENDELL RAMOS may have been around tinseltown for the longest but he continues to have a very steady career, unlike most of his peers. His acting talent recognized, his sexy looks envied
BIANCA KING's feisty beauty may have veered her towards character roles but that is where her star shines brightest. Her villain role against Marimar & Dyesebel is no doubt unforgettable
JC TIUSECO, who's claim to fame is becoming 1st Pinoy Sole Survivor, has now gained popularity that critics started focusing their attention to this handsome upcoming showbiz sensation
KRIS BERNAL is one of those who possess a perky bright smiled beauty that can enliven any place. But hers is not without talent- she can act and thus entrusted with a show of her own
CRIS CAYZER maybe a newbie for many but already he is generating throngs of followers both by his good looks and real singing talent which is why the network loss no time to sign him up
