The largest and leading Philippine multi-media conglomerate ABS-CBN Corporation opens 2018 with a bang as breathtaking and never-before-seen acts take the center stage in the much-awaited sixth season premiere of the Philippine edition of the world-class talent search “Pilipinas Got Talent” (PGT). The premiere will be seen in the Philippines via ABS-CBN TV 2 and outside the country via The Filipino Channel (TFC), with its first two episodes streaming via TFC Online (www.TFC.tv) accessible via desktop and mobile browsers, simulcast its local airing on January 6 and 7, in key countries worldwide.

The worldwide hit franchise is back to search for the best Filipino acts from different parts of the country with host International Singing Sensation Billy Crawford and the newest host Ultimate Multimedia Star Toni Gonzaga; and the judges Certified Star-maker Freddie “FMG” Garcia, award-winning actress Angel Locsin, cultural icon Robin Padilla, and Phenomenal Box Office Star Vice Ganda.

PGT hopefuls will surely be on fire this season as they are out to prove that the Filipino talent is unique, innovative, out-of-the-box, and truly world-class.

Also staging a comeback this year is the coveted Golden Buzzer that automatically puts acts through the semifinal round. For the first time in PGT, hosts Crawford and Gonzaga have the power to pick their Golden Buzzer act just like the four judges. Now, a total of five acts can get fast lane tickets to the live semis.

Last year when the Golden Buzzer was first introduced in the show, Padilla’s chosen Golden Buzzer act, the Power Duo, managed to conquer the hearts of the judges and viewers with each performance, and eventually emerged as the season’s champion.

The live auditions already kicked off in Cebu last month where hopefuls from Visayas and Mindanao pulled out all the stops to impress the judges and the live audience. Next week, it’s time for Metro Manila (Luzon island) bets to show what they got in the live auditions to be held in Tanghalang Pasigueno in Pasig City, Metro Manila.

Pinoy acts in “Pilipinas Got Talent” have shown that they can conquer the local stage as much as the international stage, as some of them made it to the first edition of “Asia’s Got Talent” (AGT). In fact, PGT’s season 3 finalist, the shadow act El Gamma Penumbra, was named as AGT’s first grand winner.

Who will stand out this season? Which act will be named season six’ grand winner?

Don’t miss the premiere of the newest season of “Pilipinas Got Talent” which will be seen outside the country via TFC in key countries worldwide. The first two episodes of the show will be streaming via TFC Online (www.TFC.tv) accessible via desktop and mobile browsers, simulcast its local airing on January 6 at 7:00 p.m., and January 7 at 7:30 p.m. (Manila time) in key countries worldwide.

TFC’s theatrical arm brings the movie everyone is talking about to movie screens in the U.S., Canada, Middle East, Europe, Asia and New Zealand
The much-awaited silver screen comeback of the Star for All Seasons and the award-winning box office royalty Angel Locsin, “Everything About Her,” is set to debut on worldwide screens this January and February in the U.S., Canada, Middle East, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

Recently graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board, “Everything About Her” is a movie about two women who are poles apart in belief and demeanor. Santos is Vivian, a no-nonsense alpha female who is diagnosed with cancer while Locsin is Jaica, a hired nurse tasked to care for the latter in order to conceal her sickness.
The movie brings a roller coaster of emotions especially when Vivian tasks Jaica to bring home Jaica’s son Albert (Xian Lim) in hopes of rekindling their relationship. Phenomenal blockbuster star Vice Ganda confirms this. “Ang ganda. Tawang-tawa ako noong start. Iyak naman ako ng iyak noong dulo. (Ang) husay ng mga bida. (It’s good. I laughed in the beginning and cried in the end. The three leads delivered good performances.”
“Everything About Her” also stars Xian Lim in his first dramatic role outside his blockbuster KimXi loveteam with Kim Chiu. Pitted against two award-winning actresses, Xian delivered. The movie has even earned the respect of other film thespians such as Director Wenn Deramas “Napakaganda - comedy and drama. Napakahusay nilang tatlo. Di sayang ang perang gagamitin ninyo (It’s a good combination of comedy and drama. The three stars were good. It’s worth your money.”
Directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal, “Everything About Her” has been earning not only box office numbers but as well as good reviews across audiences. Myx VJ Ai said “Combination ng comedy and drama. Ibang-iba ang pagkaka-portray ng movie. One of the best local films I’ve ever seen. Ang daming matutunan dito (It’s a combination of comedy and drama. The movie was set-up differently. It’s one of the best local films I have ever seen. You will learn a lot.”

“The Legal Wife” will not just heat up worldwide television with fierce confrontations but with real-life issues as well, according to top caliber directors Rory Quintos and Dado Lumibao.

“We want to make sure that our audience will follow our show not only because of the slapping scenes, but also because, through it, they learn how to deal with the problems of their own families which they have been afraid to face,” said Quintos about the series top-billed by Angel Locsin, Maja Salvador, JC de Vera, and Jericho Rosales.



“Many viewers will be able to connect with the characters of Monica (Locsin), Nicole (Salvador), Max (de Vera), and Adrian (Rosales), because their personal battles are true-to-life. “The Legal Wife” is about the love and sacrifices that a person is willing to do for the sake of his family,” Lumibao explained.

Meanwhile, Locsin, Salvador, de Vera and Rosales revealed that the story of “The Legal Wife” also made them discover a lot about themselves.




“Everyone has already experienced how to love and make mistakes. Because of my character Monica, I realized that I need to be strong in order to face all the trials in my life, especially if my family is affected,” said Locsin.

For Rosales, the plot of “The Legal Wife” will serve as a huge eye-opener for Filipino families. “Infidelity is such a sensitive topic, but I believe that this is the right time to make everyone understand why this happens, and why people end up in this situation,” he said.




Salvador added that while her character in the series is controversial, she believes that many people will be able to relate with Nicole. “There are many kinds of love, but there is this kind where somebody accepts your whole personality despite of the things that you did in the past,” she shared.



 
 “I appreciate love for my family and for others now, more than I used to because of my character Max’ ability to give everything he has got without asking for anything in return,” de Vera said.

“The Legal Wife” features the story of Monica and Adrian, a married couple whose lives are about to turn around because of a huge mistake. How will Monica and Adrian be able to fulfill the promise of forever when the foundation of their relationship is already shattered?



Also part of “The Legal Wife” cast are some of the country’s best drama actors including Joem Bascon, Ahron Villena, Rio Locsin, Mark Gil, Maria Isabel Lopez, Bernard Palanca, and Christopher de Leon.


Don’t miss the premiere of “The Legal Wife” on Monday (January 27). Angel Locsin, Maja Salvador, JC de Vera and Jericho Rosales tackle the real value of family in “The Legal Wife”.
