If you're one of those kids who grew up in the 80s to 90s, IBC 13 is one of the television channels who airs interesting shows from comedy to children shows. I remember this channel airs  one of the comedy show on television, Sic O'Clock News. So knowing that the network is being revive again to air show and call the network Kaibigan Network.

Due diligence is being undertaken to provide smooth transition and secure all the stakeholders of the company especially its employees and blocktimers.

We, Filipinos loves singing. Almost in every gathering, singing is included, like karaoke, videoke or a jam with a guitar, as long as we express our enjoyment through singing together with our loved ones.
In line with this, GMA Network presents its newest game show the All-Star Videoke hosted by Solenn Heusaff and Betong Sumaya. The pilot airing of this show will be today, September 3, right after 24 Oras.
Bloggers were invited for the pilot viewing of All-Star Videoke and I'm one of the lucky bloggers to experienced how to be a contestant minus the laglagan portion. I was so nervous back then, I am not a singer, though I sing a lot in our house but my voice is not intended to be heard by others. It is just for my family, hahaha. The nerve cracking experience were even more intense because I'm not sure of what was going to be played, imagine that it is the actual game.



When the music played it was a kind of relief because I know the song. It was "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" by BackStreetBoys. Still, I got butterflies on my stomach and my heart is pounding. I know the song very well because I remember how we danced it when I was in High School. Gladly I still remember the lyrics. Well, you can feel on my voice how nervous I am on the video above. But still I manage to sing the blank lyrics and viola, I got it perfectly! It was really an amazing experience and so much fun,  I will definitely watch it every week so that I can reminisce all those songs, and I can sing with them as well while watching it.


Betong is really thankful that he was given a chance to be one of the host of All Star Videoke and it is a dream come true according to him to work with Solenn Heusaff.

Betong promised to all kapuso that they will definitely enjoy every episode of All Star Videoke and plus the fact that they will give big prizes.

Being said that my family loves to watch movies LG got something new for those TV/Movie viewing fanatics. LG Electronics puts its best foot forward this years as it sets the rapidly growing TV market with its 2014 Ultra High Definition (UHD) TV line up with Real 4k Technology.
Last June 12, 2014 LG made use of the holiday and let mall goers get a chance to peek at what LG Electronics got to show.

Attesting to the great features and quality of the newest UHD TV of LG, Team Kramer composed of Doug Kramer, Cheska Kramer and the kids Kendra, Scarlett and Gavin, made everyone in awe as they watched and explained the great features of this UHD TV. According to Doug Kramer, “As a techie, I’m very picky when it comes to choosing the right television. Display quality should be picture perfect.” He even added that, “The first time I saw LG’s UHD TV, I was like, ‘Wow!’ I was really astounded with its exceptional quality that’s so rich in details. It’s definitely the perfect TV for Team Kramer. LG really puts the ‘ultra’ in Ultra HD.”
So what’s with the Real 4k Technology? LG raises the viewing bar higher than ever with its Real 4K resolution. It is the future of digital picture, attaining a resolution 4 times that of Full HD, with a stunning 8.3 million pixels for flawless picture and incredibly vivid details.

One of the key factors of the TV screen is the panel, determining the quality of the TV. LG’s IPS 4K Panel is known for its quality and reliability by professionals in the display industry, from broadcasting to the medical sector, delivering breathtakingly real color from all angles on Real 4K resolution.
LG’s lineup of UHD TVs delivers true 3D experience of immersive and crystal-clear 3D with comfortable experience, taking 3D to a whole new level.

The simplicity of webOS enables consumers to enjoy Smart TV with convenience, enjoyment and easiness. Unlike other Smart TVs, LG’s UHD TV saves the users from all the cluttered content, putting everything in a simple, easy-to-navigate horizontal menu. The unique architecture of the webOS makes searching and viewing content, connecting with other devices and the initial TV setup process incredibly smooth and seamless, bringing back the simplicity of controlling your TV.
The sound of LG UHD TV is just as impressive as its visual power. With the full impact of a multi-channel, forward-facing speaker system, it is essentially a sound bar within a TV. It boasts of a highly refined sound quality, powered by premium and leading audio solution, harman/kardon, complementing splendidly the brilliant Ultra HD visuals.
“LG started to spark the Ultra UD revolution across the globe when it unveiled the world’s first 84-inch Ultra HD TV back in 2012,” said Hoony Bae, LG Philippines vice president for Home Entertainment division, said. “This year, LG is fanning the flames even more, letting our consumers go beyond their usual TV experience with the immersive Ultra HD quality available in different sizes and prices.”
