This week, the Philippines’ #1 fast-food brand, Jollibee launched Jolly U, a series of online videos depicting comical ways of teens going the extra mile in even the most mundane of tasks and situations.

The Jolly U series brings together modern Pinoy teen archetypes that one will usually find in a university or college setting, but each of them offer an exciting twist to viewers’ typical expectations. In the video below, the jolliest university in the world introduces us to its Bee Happy mission and some of its top students including The MVP, The Pogeek, The Coolokoy and The Heartist.
Today’s Filipino teens are “harder to impress” than older generations, as shown by recent studies. Growing up with a wider range of opportunities thanks to the digital landscape, the trends and technologies that older generations used to think were amazing are now perceived as standard and ordinary by teens who get exposed to them on a regular basis. For this reason, young Pinoy digital natives look forward to going over and beyond or—in their own terms—“extra”, in all aspects.

“We took the time to get to know our teens and what makes them tick,” shares Francis Flores, Jollibee Global Chief Marketing Officer and Philippines Head of Marketing. “For Gen Z, being ‘extra’ is about going over-the-top and putting more fun into anything and everything.”

The best reward for such impressive feats of extra-ness is none other than the extra cheesy, extra beefy Cheesy Classic Jolly Hotdog, a classic Jolly favorite made extra delicious with a meaty, juicy beef hotdog; cheesy, tangy dressing; a drizzling of ketchup and real, grated cheese.

The “extra saya” Jolly U web series will be posted starting September 4 on the Jollibee Philippines Facebook page (facebook.com/JollibeePhilippines) and the official Jollibee YouTube channel (youtube.com/user/jollibeedigital1). You may also stay tuned for more “extra saya" updates by following @jollibee on Twitter and Instagram.
Don’t miss out on the extra cheesy and extra beefy goodness of the Cheesy Classic Jolly Hotdog, which is available for dine-in, take-out, delivery and drive-thru transactions in all Jollibee stores nationwide. Prices start at Php 50.00*.

*Prices may vary across different locations.

“We want to tell a story about five people from different backgrounds, from different places that comes in to tell the story of their survival,” says 9/11 star Olga Fonda. She plays Tina, one of the five who is trapped inside the elevator of the World Trade Center during the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Numerous books, documentaries, and other forms of media have already been created in an attempt to help us come to terms with the events that transpired on 9/11. How could this film be different? To answer that question, the filmmakers decided to tell the story from the inside, a point-of-view not often presented in relation to this tragedy. Much of the imagery of that day was captured externally, such as the sight of the World Trade Center being hit and ultimately, crumbling.

In contrast, 9/11 comprises an interior story, in every sense of the word. The setting being an elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center; the characters are five individuals who randomly board and thus witness their fates intertwine in a way none could have anticipated. The film provides an intimate portrait of individuals who are forced by circumstance to attempt to survive America’s greatest tragedy. Although less seen than the stories chronicled from the outside, the interlocking stories inside the elevator are no less real or dramatic. They are stories rooted in the reality of what some people endured that day.

Director and co-writer Martin Guigui, came by the story through actor-producer Deacon Drawdy, who had optioned the stage play, Elevator. Initially, Guigui had some doubts and questioned why make this into a film now? Ultimately though, “[I] couldn’t get the story out of my head. I saw it as an opportunity to explore not just the issues around this horrific event, but to plunge into the humanity that arises out of the circumstance,” Guigui recalls.

“It’s a story about heroes, it’s a story about really honouring those that sacrificed everything and those that didn’t make it, and those that did,” says Charlie Sheen who plays Jeffrey Cage.

“This is one that really focuses on what happened, a more internal scope,” he continues.
Clearly, “9/11” movie is a more internal perspective of what happened during the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. And we get to experience what was it like stuck in that elevator. Every minute matters and we must not lose hope to have the will to survive.
The film stars Charlie Sheen, Whoopi Goldberg, Luis Guzman, Gina Gershon, Woody Harris and Olga Fonda. Co-written and directed by Martin Guigui.

“9/11” movie opens in Philippine cinemas September 13, distributed by Rafaella Films International.

Young dance sensations Julian Trono and Ella Cruz will be launched to full stardom their debut movie as a love team, FanGirl / FanBoy, which opens in cinemas nationwide on September 6.
A Joyce Beranl Production for VIVA Films and N2 Productions, FanGirl / FanBoy, does a very timely take on the K-pop fever under debuting film director Barry Gonzalez.

Julian's Character, Ollie Fernandez, is a noe hit boy wonder with a level of confidence that more often borders on conceit. He fanboys over Korean actress SOO Mi Young (played by Yam Concepcion), who essays the part of Sandy/Android 5000 in the Kreanovela "Program for Love".

Ella, meanwhile, is Aimee, Soo Mi Young's dubber.

Ronnie LIang is MIn Jun Park, the Korean actor who is paired with Soo Mi Young in "Program for Love".
The film's hilarious twists and romantic turns take shape when Ollie meets Aimee, who happens to be his biggest fan. Aimee agress to help Ollie work on this acting skills and she succeeds as he achieves that elusive dream of stardom. In exchange, though, Aimee gets heartbroken due to complications in Ollie's showbiz career.

Julian and Ella say FanGirl / FanBoy spells big pressure on them as a team.
 
"Yung pressure na nararamdaman ko kapag sinasabi ni Direk na napanood na daw nila Boss Vic (Del Rosario, VIVA big boss) yung movie, tapos sinasabi nila yung feedback nila, kinakabahan talaga ako," Ella relates. "Lagi ko tinatanong si Direk, totoo ba ito? Totoo bang matatapos na natin yung movie? Totoo bang malapit na tayo ipalabas? " she goes on.

But then again, both stars and Direk Barry are confident they have given FanGirl / FanBoy their best. They could only hope that the dance duo's followers and multitude of fans would have as much fun as they did while shooting the film and that they would embrace them as well as a  couple on the big screen this time.



On talks that Julian and Ella might be VIVA's next JaDine, the pair admits JaDine is one tough act to follow and that they are flattered with the idea. But for now, Julian and Ella would rather focus on their budding movie pairing, improve on their act and leave the rest to destiny.
Catch this year's refreshing teen-oriented romantic comedy, FanGirl / FanBoy, as it hits the big screens beginning September 6, Only for Viva Films.

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.
