ABS-CBN premieres its newest and heartwarming primetime family drama Annaliza, topbilled by rising teleserye princess Andrea Brillantes with an ensemble of today’s most respected young actors, beginning on May 27 (Monday) before TV Patrol.

Annaliza

The classic 80s soap opera returns to television and is set to launch the career of child actress Andrea, who has proven her acting prowess by playing remarkable roles as Princess in E-Boy, young Jessy Mendiola in Sabel and Paraiso, young Kim Chiu in Ina Kapatid Anak, and young Andi Eigenmann in Kahit Puso’y Masugatan.

Annaliza also marks blockbuster actor Zanjoe Marudo’s first ever portrayal as a father in the small screen and serves as the comeback soap for 90s teen superstars Patrick Garcia and Carlo Aquino, whose acting skills were again noticed by the public after their respective cameo appearances in Apoy sa Dagat and Dugong Buhay.

Follow the story of Annaliza, a young girl with a very kind heart who will be raised by a foster father Guido (Zanjoe).

When she is still a baby, Annaliza will be stolen from her biological and wealthy parents—the restopreneurs Lazaro (Patrick) and Isabel (Denise Laurel). It is Stella (Kaye Abad), Lazaro’s avenging ex-lover, who has the baby stolen with the help of her suitor Makoy (Carlo).

Afraid of being caught red-handed, Makoy leaves the child to his best friend Guido, a fishport worker. Despite his average and simple life, Guido wholeheartedly accepts Annaliza and raises her as his own daughter.

Annaliza begins to endure challenges and hardships in her young life when Guido eventually marries Stella and leaves for Saudi in hopes of giving them a better life. But fate rewards Annaliza’s innate goodness by bringing her closer to Isabel and Lazaro, not knowing they are her true parents.

How will Annaliza discover her true identity? How will she suffer in the hands of Stella? In the end, who will she choose? Her true parents who want to make up for the lost time or the man who raised her and treated her as his own?

Also included in the cast are Khalil Ramos, Sue Ramirez, Kiko Estrada, Shy Carlos, Kyline Alcantara, Jillian Aguila, and Reign Tolentino.

Annaliza is under the direction of Theodore Boborol and Cathy Camarillo and under the supervision of award-winning director and new ABS-CBN business unit head Ruel S. Bayani.

Don’t miss the premiere of Annaliza this May 27 (May 27) before TV Patrol in ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida. For updates, like the show’s official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Annaliza2013 or follow @Annaliza2013 on Twitter and share your thoughts using the hashtag #Annaliza.

The charming villain in the upcoming Hollywood action flick “Fast & Furious 6″–Luke Evans–sang a tagalog love song during the film’s Manila premiere on Wednesday at the Music Hall of SM Mall of Asia.

Luke Evans

Evans wowed his Filipino fans during the red carpet premiere of the said movie by singing a few lines from the popular tagalog song “Kailangan Kita.” The British actor revealed that he learned the song from his Filipino friends whom he worked with in the musical “Miss Saigon” in London 10 years ago.

“I love Manila. I came to Manila 10 years ago because I was in a show. I used to sing for a living. I was Chris in ‘Miss Saigon’ and so a lot of the Asian characters were from the Philippines. I have a lot of good friends here and I haven’t seen them in 11 years,” he said.

Evans plays the role of Owen Shaw, the fierce villain in the 6th installment of the action franchise which is set to open in Philippine theaters on May 24, 2013.

ABS-CBN has ignited a guessing game of some sort on Sunday when 5 Kapamilya actresses wore the Darna costume and performed stunts and high-kicks on “ASAP.”

Cristine Reyes as Darna in ABS-CBN

Kim Chiu, Shaina Magdayao, Empress Schuck, Iya Villania and Cristine Reyes performed in the “Supah Dance” segment of the weekly musical variety show wearing the iconic costume.

Is the Kapamilya network testing the waters? Who do you think among the five stars fit the costume best?

It’s interesting to note that among the 5, only Reyes has publicly expressed interest in portraying the super heroine created by Mars Ravelo.

Among those who already played “Darna” in the past were Vilma Santos, Angel Locsin and Marian Rivera. Is Cristine Reyes next in line?

Broadcast journalist Atom Araullo investigates the miracle that has granted market vendor Mang Napoleon his eyesight back after an encounter with the Virgin Mary this Friday (May 17) in “Pinoy True Stories: Hiwaga.”

Mang Napoleon has been blind for many years after he suffered from glaucoma. Despite this, he continued to work hard, selling tinapa and banana cue near a church, so as to provide a good future for his daughter. He received discrimination from his fellow vendors and buyers and was nearly run over by a vehicle yet he held on to his faith and hoped for better things to come.

Everything changed when one day, he had an encounter with the Virgin Mary whom he recognizes as Apong Lourdes. Since the apparition, Mang Napoleon saw a brighter future ahead of him as he was able to see things once more and has his sight back.

From a life of nothing but misfortune, was it his optimism and faith that has saved him? Or is his illness nothing but a passing disease that healed on its own?

Most Filipinos nationwide got their latest election news from ABS-CBN on Monday (May 13) and went online to send their thoughts via Twitter that made ABS-CBN’s “Halalan 2013” coverage a trending topic on the social networking site.

ABS-CBN's Halalan 2013 war room

Based on Kantar Media data covering national urban and rural homes, ABS-CBN’s “Bayan Mo, iPatrol Mo: Tayo Na Halalan 2013” coverage drew a cumulative average of national TV rating of 13.7% from 6 am to 12 midnight vs. GMA’s Eleksyon 2013’s 10%.

ABS-CBN’s flagship newscast “TV Patrol,” anchored by Noli De Castro, Korina Sanchez, and Ted Failon, hit a 27% national TV rating or nine points higher than rival program “24 Oras” that only recorded 18.4%.

Filipino netizens also kept track of election news on Twitter where ABS-CBN’s “Halalan 2013” coverage became a trending topic. The hashtag #Halalan2013 was the only election coverage-based hashtag of a news organization to have landed among the social networking site’s trending topics.

ABS-CBN also highlighted the results in the hotly contested local races featured in its “KampanyaSerye” documentaries in areas like Manila, Masbate, Cavite, Cebu, Pampanga, Zamboanga, and Laguna to contextualize what the results mean to the electorate.

Aside from focusing on local election rivalries, ABS-CBN also delivered fresh updates on the results in overseas absentee voting through its international news bureaus stationed all around the world.

With the help of about half a million Bayan Patrollers and 221 reporters in the Philippines and key global cities scattered in 45 live points, ABS-CBN was not only able to deliver the most comprehensive news coverage on the elections but also report election irregularities in different localities through its different media platforms. It also had the most credible and authoritative analysts dissecting the issues and results on “Halalan 2013.”

“Halalan 2013” also marked the uninterrupted 48-hour election coverage for ANC and DZMM TeleRadyo for both cable TV and AM radio audiences. ABS-CBNNews.com provided the latest news, analysis of results, and as well as a social media tracker, launched in partnership with IBM Philippines, to monitor the social media buzz on the positive and negative commentaries and conversations about the candidates.

ABS-CBN also empowered citizens with its Comelec-Halalan 2013 mobile app for smartphones and tablets that helped them find their precinct on election day, provided a list and profiles of candidates and partylists, as well as the latest aggragated, partial and unofficial election results in national and local polls.

Also featured in ABS-CBN’s “Halalan 2013” coverage were the celebrity patrollers for “Bayan Mo, iPatrol Mo: Tayo Na” including Bianca Gonzalez, Valerie Concepcion, Melai Cantiveros, the Philippine Azkals’ Chieffy Caligdong, John Lapus, Sam Concepcion, and Jed Madela, who received inquiries and concerns on the elections via their personal Twitter accounts.

Moreover, ABS-CBN set up BMPM stations in key areas in the country to assist voters in finding their precincts, receive complaints and reports regarding the polls, and respond to medical emergencies.

ABS-CBN’s “Halalan 2013” coverage was launched a year before the May elections to provide information to voters so they can make informed choices based on their vision for the country.

ABS-CBN’s “Halalan 2013” was the most responsive to the needs of the people in terms of information delivered through its various media platforms and in public service through its BMPM stations, making it the most trusted broadcast news organization that covered the national elections.

Hollywood action star Vin Diesel, during the press junket for his new movie “Fast & Furious 6″ in Fairmont, Makati, on Thursday, confessed how he fell in love with the country and its people.

VinDiesel3

Diesel heard a lot of good things about the Philippines from his sister-in-law who is Pinoy that’s why when he learned that Manila will be part of the world premiere of his movie “Fast & Furious 6,” he got excited to experience firsthand the world-famous warmth and hospitality of Filipinos.

The Hollywood action star arrived in the country on May 13 via a private jet and the very moment he landed on Philippine soil, he experienced how welcoming the Filipinos are in an instant.

His amusement grew even more on May 14 when he explored the city by bus (or jeepney).

“Yesterday I went around, I rented one of those buses and I was in the bus… There was a guy that’s selling stuff on the road. He came to the back of the bus and I thought he’s going to sell me something. He said ‘You’re Vin Diesel, you’re Vin Diesel.’ He lit up like a Christmas tree and this is a guy that’s working in the streets, selling stuff to cars going by. He forgot about all that, I just saw his heart come out. It makes me fall in love with the Philippines,” he said, adding that the street vendor’s reaction was a “testament” of the Filipinos’ nature.

VinDiesel

“I think it is reflected in the street vendor that came up to the car and I think it is reflected in the huge global stars like Manny (Pacquiao). I think he is just as giving and just as generous and welcoming like that street vendor. That says a lot about the people,” he told ABS-CBN News.

On May 15, Diesel together with his co-stars Gina Carano, Michelle Rodriguez and Luke Evans, graced the Manila leg of the world premiere of “Fast & Furious 6″ at the Music Hall of SM Mall of Asia. He was greeted by thousands of his Filipino fans chanting his name as he walks the red carpet. He later expressed his appreciation for his Filipino fans.

VinDiesel4

“Mahal ko kayo! I love Manila! I love you all so much! We are so proud to do the first Hollywood premiere here in the Philippines. This is the best place I’ve ever been to in my life,” he said.

The action star revealed that he wants to shoot the upcoming installment of “Fast & Furious” in the country.

“Our tour here was so incredible that when I go back to LA and when we start doing, developing 7, 8, 9, I will tell Universal that I want to shoot in the Philippines. That is because of you,” he said.

There were reports that Diesel was overwhelmed with tears inside the cinema during the screening of his movie.

VinDiesel2

On Thursday afternoon, Diesel and other cast-members graced the press junket held at Fairmont Hotel Makati for an interview with members of international press.

An Indonesian reporter asked him: “I come from Jakarta, Indonesia. I want to know the reason why you chose Pilipina (Philippines) [for the press junket and red carpet premiere] and not Jakarta where many many people know you and admire you?”

Vin Diesel replied: “Really? Why we chose the Philippines? Maybe because the Filipinos is [are] IN-CRE-DI-BLE?!!”

He received cheers and applause from Filipino press people.

“Or maybe because I wanted to come to the Philippines my whole life…I wouldn’t trade a trip to the Philippines for anything. The people here are so wonderful. They have this kind of warmth, and welcoming energy that I don’t see everywhere. I don’t think the world realizes how special the Philippines is, it’s a special place,” he added.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has won the exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the eagerly anticipated Angry Birds animated film, making it one of the most high-profile deals of the year.

Angry Birds

The 3D film is being developed, produced, and financed by Rovio Entertainment and will be released worldwide by Sony Pictures on July 1, 2016. Several major studios pursued the global film rights in recent weeks, with Sony Pictures Entertainment emerging as the winner.

Michael Lynton, Chairman & CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Amy Pascal, Co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio Entertainment jointly announced their partnership today. John Cohen and David Maisel – producer of Despicable Me and executive producer of Iron Man, respectively – are both on board for the new Angry Birds feature film. Cohen will serve as producer and Maisel is executive producer.

Commenting on the announcement, Mikael Hed said, “Sony impressed us with their great attitude, determination, and professionalism. They convinced us that we have found the right partners and team to help us market and distribute our first motion picture. Michael, Amy, Jeff Blake, Sony’s marketing and distribution head, and their teams will be the best possible collaborators as we get set to take our franchise to the next level.”

Lynton and Pascal said, “Every studio in town would love to add Angry Birds to their slate. There are few titles out there that bring this kind of excitement, brand awareness and built-in audience to the table. We’re thrilled to be distributing this film and we hope this is just the beginning of what will be a long relationship with Rovio as we look for ways to work on future projects together.”

David Maisel and John Cohen said, “We are very excited to join with Sony Pictures in presenting this movie to the world in 2016 and we will have many more announcements as we begin production in the coming months.”

Angry Birds is one of the world’s biggest entertainment franchises, starting in 2009 with the original mobile game that remains the number one paid app of all time. Angry Birds has expanded rapidly into entertainment, publishing, and licensing to become a beloved international brand.

Angry Birds has been praised for its great value and simple, casual gameplay. Players use a slingshot to launch birds at green pigs in an attempt to get their eggs back, with the game setting the model for what is possible in terms of game development and commercial success. To date, the Angry Birds and Bad Piggies games have been downloaded more than 1.7 billion times across platforms and versions.

The upcoming movie marks Rovio Entertainment’s first foray into feature films, although fans have already been introduced to the Angry Birds world with the weekly Angry Birds Toons animated series. Rovio launched the series in March through its Angry Birds apps as well as on select video-on-demand channel providers, Smart TVs, connected devices, and on select TV networks around the world. Paving the way for a full-length feature film, Angry Birds Toons has been a massive success for Rovio clocking in over 150 million views from the Angry Birds apps alone within the first six weeks.

While known for distributing world renowned motion picture franchises such as Spider-Man, Sony Pictures has been building a strong reputation in contemporary animation through its house production unit, Sony Pictures Animation, and hit films including Hotel Transylvania, The Smurfs, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Surf’s Up, Open Season, and Aardman’s Arthur Christmas and The Pirates! Band of Misfits.
