"Make Me Believe" - Aicelle Santos from the GMA Records album "Make Me Believe" Directed by Milos Curameng Aicelle Santos Make Me Believe When Aicelle Santos first came onto the scene via her runner-up finish in Pinoy Pop Superstar Year 2, it was reasonably clear that she possessed a better voice than any newcomer. It's considerably strong but pliable enough to varying degrees. In a way, one is easily reminded of a young Lea Salonga with traces of contemporary R&B and soul; that is, Aicelle appears edgy early on in her burgeoning career. On her GMA Records debut album "Make Me Believe", Aicelle flaunts her superior voice and opts to concentrate on soulful melodies but going beyond trite formulas and productions for a fuller sound. Here, she demonstrates her ability to adjust her vocals depending on the song's demands. Of course, pop and R&B references are aplenty all throughout but it's marked with that signature Aicelle style: consistent, solid vocal performance. She hits highs with relative ease, it's quite addictive. The album's opener and carrier single "Ikaw Pa Rin" essentially testifies this young woman's significance and position in the music industry. Playing along a straightforward theme and pop-rock production, she wails longingly to the one she loved before ("Ikaw pa rin, ang hinahanap ng puso, ikaw pa rin ang siyang laman ng puso ko...") with such passion that one may think of it as an autobiographical citation. Moments later, she looks as if she's head over heels in love over someone new on the coy and adorable "Lullabies". Title track "Make Me Believe" written by Agatha Obar treads the right direction; her stable voice associating well with the piano-based instrumentation. On the surprising side follows "All Gone (My Lingering's Over)—one of two songs penned by Aicelle herself—which is a buoyant, bouncy track of getting over the breakup blues. "A House Is Not A Home", "Kung Bakit Ngayon", and "Nasaan" are soft ballads shaped using gentle musical backdrops. Emerging next is a stylish version of the Tracy Chapman original "Give Me One Reason". Aicelle's rendition is generally frivolous, poppy, and at times country-sounding. About the only thing bluesy are her crooning vocals. Meanwhile, things slow down again in "Tunay Bang Iibigin" but for good measure. This is a standout track where the generic production, vocal licks, and arrangements are warranted. Aicelle sounds in control and sweet whenever she sings, "Tunay bang ako'y iyong iibigin, tunay bang ikaw ay magiging akin... Sabihin mo, sabihin mo 'pagkat ako'y nahuhulog na rin", proving that a calculated performance reaches further than those brimming with sky high notes. By album's end, it is evident that Aicelle is still drawn to power ballads with another highlight in "All The Man That I Need"; it finds Aicelle singing her heart out in impressive fashion with remarkable arrangements. "Impostora" theme song "Maghihintay" offers a similar source of melancholy with previous ballads. Vocally, Aicelle is strikingly extraordinary. She bawls at times but still manages to soften it when needed. Although very young, she sounds way beyond her years and seems to be miles ahead of her peers by writing songs and creating "Make Me Believe", a good effort that copes with various genre shift Tags: Aicelle gma opm pop |

Just Once - Jaya from the GMA Records album "Cool Change" Directed by Milos Curameng Is it really over, Jaya? Over, now that you've managed to create one of your best work to date? Now that your rich, intense vocals sound better than before? Well, not quite. It's ironic really for the carrier single off Jaya's latest album to be titled "Is It Over?" since, in the first place, it doesn't really signal an end; in fact, it does the exact opposite in tremendous fashion. The last time listeners heard soul sister Jaya was back in 2005 with the thematic "Fall In Love Again." Two years later, she is back with a vengeance and all guns blazing. Her ninth album "Cool Change" signifies the many changes she has undergone in the past years. A new look, a new sound, a new label. These are some of the changes visible after giving the 55-minute long CD a spin. And what glorious period it was. From start to finish, Jaya delivers fitting sensuous vocals at precise moments all throughout. Although it is a remake album, "Cool Change" appears to be Jaya's strongest record yet, one that has stacks of variety and texture. It also stands as a testimonial of industry experience and wisdom in that she doesn't try too hard pulling off vintage soul; instead she delights in belting out these classic confections in her own sweet style. Choice cut and first single "Is It Over?" drips with dual emotions of the ends and beginnings of a relationship. Here, Jaya funnels her vocal abilities to a bare minimum, letting it flow fluidly with the lovely musical backdrop. The new minimalist approach is evident early on. With a rhyme-like arrangement and sunny production, title track "Cool Change" makes it clear that changes are present this time around. "Just Once" and "Through the Fire", classic songs remade over and over again, offer a distinctive Jaya touch. On the latter, controlled vocal aggression and gentle instrumentation keeps the song from being bland and overboard at the same time. The result of Jaya's newfound self-containment is as addictive as her old timeless hits. Meanwhile, "Points of View" features guest vocals from peer Regine Velasquez. This tandem, which is contrasting in terms of style, is probably one of the best. Jaya's full-bodied alto harmonies shine under layers of Regine's soaring vocals. "On The Radio" sees Jaya transforming herself to a disco/dance-pop diva in the image of Donna Summer. Another recognizable change comes in the tracks "Girlfriend" and "For the First Time" with their soothing, jazz-inspired vocals. She manages to restrain herself, understanding that a stable delivery will do rather than a powerful release. Clearly, Jaya is attracted to melodrama with a heartrending version of "Why Can't It Be," the essence of which is fixed yet again on mellow voices, and with Janno Gibbs lending his vocals they both make the neat arrangement notable. "Living Inside Myself" offers a comparable amount of sweet elements, which also relies heavily on delicate keys and backing vocals. After all that, the glorious ballad "Cody's Song" comes as a relief. Featuring Jaya's baby's giggle, this final cut is sung in a warm and kind voice that is as comforting as how this new album had managed to sound. All tracks present a much-improved Jaya and it only shows that she is at her best when she maintains control. Some might dismiss this as one of those remakes album done a million times before but the key factor in this album's success is its straightforwardness. It's simple and true and that's enough reassurance that Jaya's glory days are not over yet. Tags: Jaya gma opm pop |

"Take It Or Leave It" - Yasmien Kurdi GMA Records from the album "Love Is All I Need" Directed by Milos Curameng Fans and critics alike may remember the enjoyable pop concoctions she and her producers have created in her debut. Those dreamy vocals sliding smoothly on a piano base sure kept listeners humming and aptly longing for more. This time though as a reaction to requests, and expectations perhaps, Yasmien's eagerly awaited sophomore effort has finally materialized. Nourished by actual music industry experience and inescapable critique - an applicable combination for growth - Yasmien returns to the big league with "Love Is All I Need", a surprisingly noble effort framed with the intention of eliciting impressed looks and raves, as well as silencing detractors. It seemed that the time it took to craft this album had changed Yasmien's point of view; it's as if she closed her eyes and envisioned that a timely transformation is a key. Make no mistake about it, Yasmien still glows with the same friendly light; only that she is more capable of harnessing it now in varying degrees. Under the professional support of GMA Records, "Love Is All I Need" is an assertive collection of sensible pop goodies supplied with an ample amount of inventive collaborations. Produced by Miguel Alcaraz and Michael Dizon of Sandwich, Alwyn Cruz and Rene Salta, the result of the experimentation is adequately astonishing. And this exploration is none more palpable than in the first single "Kisapmata", a rock anthem baptized in modern pop fashion. Unlike the original's dark emotive treatment, Yasmien's adaptation plays around the riveting lyrics with amiable, sunny production. The accompanying video, directed by Milos Cumareng, portrays a magical Yasmien wandering around streets and districts; the backdrop of which is a venue of ordinary life. Essentially, the video translates the song's very meaning that is, wherever you go, in the blink of an eye, you are transported to an entirely different world. The carrier single leaves a lasting effect and clear indication of what one may expect from the rest of the album. From the cool breeziness of "Give Me A Sign" to the positive piano chords of "Wishing Well", and the vintage soul of "One Day", the so-called sophomore slump is crushed to oblivion; here is a girl who knows what she is doing and revels in it. Riding along the delightful line-up change, Yasmien takes a huge leap in her music career as she gleefully strides into the singer-songwriter path with title track "Love Is All I Need". Considering that this is her first take at songwriting, she pulls it off, to a large extent, with fairylike grace, proudly singing "Climb a mountain and touch the clouds, Sing a song in different sounds..." backed by soft arrangements and memorable, modest lines. This is a significant moment for her music career that demands-and commands-respect and that she is recognized as an artist serious in the perfection and development of her craft. On the subject of development, her vocal technique remains breathy but not frail, and still esoterically appealing. But now she is gradually realizing, and understanding, the range and distortions that come along with possessing a distinct voice. Two songs that exhibit subtle vocal variations include the despondent but rich "Even If", a ballad reminiscent of a young Sarah McLachlan, and the ultra-catchy "Take It Or Leave It", molded in the same structure as "I Know", which incidentally is interjected in a mix version included in the album. Rock-tinged "Hayaan Mo Na", a collaboration with Mong Alcaraz and Mike Dizon of Sandwich, turns up the heat. The steady beats and dampened guitar riffs are as catchy as hell and Yasmien doesn't disappoint: she delivers with ethereal melodrama in the presence of accomplished musicians. Her cover of "Goodbye" follows suit, bringing a new touch to an old iconic track. Yasmien ups the ante and shifts genre in "Candlelight Romance", an electronica/dance ditty rich in driving beats, laser-like penetrating thumps, and synth-heavy bangs. Her voice, in typical electronic manner, is manipulated to sound mechanized. This also proves her comprehension of the musical repertoire an artist should have. Acting has been Yasmien's foremost forte, naturally calling forth assorted personas with each role. But upon listening to this follow-up, she has taken that instinctive adaptability in her music too. It is always a relief to see someone rooted in safe territory reaching out to greater heights; so it is even a greater delight to see Yasmien, generally groomed as a pop princess in the public eye, trying out different styles. Yes, the good, old princess is still there but you get the sense that the adventurous, self-assured queen within her is steadily making its presence felt. Tags: Yasmien GMA opm |

It is said that these treasures were gathered from different parts of Asia by 10 Bornean Datus who formed a city in a place known as Itim na Ginto (Black Gold). This secret has been passed on among the descendants of two groups of Filipinos -- the KKK (Kapatirang Kumakalinga ng Kayamanan), who wants to protect the treasures, and the Sudama, the group who has selfish intentions in finding the treasures. Coming from the lineage of the KKK, Gabriela (Angel Locsin) is an iron-willed young lass who was well-trained in the field of combat for an all-important task of carrying on the mission of her ancestors. Since the Sudama have begun an aggressive pursuit of the hidden treasures, even obliterating KKK members who got in the way of their quest, the KKK needs to get ahead to be able to protect the treasures. In an unlikely turn of events, Gabriela's path will cross with the wisecracking auto-mechanic-cum-stuntman Elias (Robin Padilla) who will be her companion in her special mission. Together, they will travel in different parts of Asia in search of the 10 powerful amulets and the clues leading to where the 10 Datus hid their Asian Treasures. As they face peril after peril in their Asian adventures, Elias and Gabriela will find something more precious than the treasures they are after -- for they will soon realize that love has the ultimate power to turn their lives around.

Panaghoy sa Suba DVD (with English subtitles) exclusively distributed in the US and Canada by Evergreen Sales & International Trading Corp. 1161 W.

It is a mixture of action, drama, romance, and history. The film is Cesar Montano's directorial debut with an almost entirely Visayan cast, and perhaps the biggest film ever to be shot in its entirety in the Visayas. The film, intended for both national and international exhibition, boldly used Visayan as the main language. It was given an "A" rating by the Cinema Evaluation Board or CEB of the Film Development Council of the Philippines and was CM Films' entry to the 2004 Metro Manila Film Festival. The CEB described Cesar Montano's direction as "meticulous but light-handed." It turned "a somewhat rambling and slow screenplay into a poetic, sometimes even magical, current of silent struggle and survival." [5] Panaghoy sa Suba garnered 16 awards and 11 nominations including 5 from the Metro Manila Film Festival, was also given an endorsement by the UNESCO. It was named Best Picture at the "International Festival of Independent Films" held in Brussels, Belgium. Montano was also chosen Best Director. In addition, Montano also won Best Actor in Panaghoy sa Suba in the Golden Screen Awards. Panaghoy sa Suba was invited as an exhibition in the Tous les Cinemas du Monde (Movies of the World) at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005. It has also been invited for exhibition in other international film festivals in Berlin, Toronto, Tokyo, Korea and in the Czech Republic's "Karlo Vary Film Festival". It was shown at the Shanghai International Film Festival on June 11 to 19, 2005 - its second international screening after Cannes (World Cinema category, non-competition). Panaghoy was also shown at the New Delhi's Asian Festival of Asian Cinema on July 15 to 24, 2005. Tags: Cesar Montano |

After establishing a pattern from the killings, Inspector Noble, the police investigator, will theorize that only one person, a serial or thrill killer, maybe responsible for all of the murders. Junior is aware of the killings but it doesn't seem to bother him, unlike most ordinary people who have heard of the news about a serial killer roaming the city. Together with Trixie's friend Toti, Junior and Trixie head to the countryside where Trixie's family live. Junior gets to meet Martha, Trixie's weird mother, a tough lady with a shotgun always on her side. Junior also gets to know Max, Trixie's weird brother, a war-scarred former Marine soldier who's got traces of insanity. Martha's rejection of Junior is evident from the start. Martha wants Trixie to end the relationship, and immediately tell Junior that he is not welcome in the family. At this time, a mysterious man riding in an old van is heading towards Trixie's house. The bulky, ominous looking man with murderous eyes eventually reaches the house, and once inside, takes down Trixie's family one by one. First to fall is Max's wife, then the house helper, Max, and finally Martha. The man takes the shocked and hysterical Trixie alive. Junior on the other hand, manages to hide and elude the man. Meanwhile, Inspector Noble finally identifies the serial killer after getting a lead from the remains of a murdered woman. He is Damian Garote, an officer of Metrocom during Martial Law. He was considered to be the most brutal and ruthless police officer during his time. After he retired from the service, no one knew where he went. Junior eventually gets in the way of Damian, and tries to stop the man from getting away with Trixie. The two men get to see each other eye to eye after they got out of the van which rammed to a tree. The two will recognize each other easily. But in the end, nothing is what it seems.

While strolling around town, a mysterious woman is hit by a van while trying to save his life. He visits the woman and is drawn to her granddaughter Lianne (Karylle). Marco and Lianne start to develop a relationship but recent events cause Marco to be withdrawn. He suddenly finds himself haunted by a deep feeling of loneliness. His yearning leads him to a telephone conversation with Divina (Iza Calzado) the daughter of a haciendero. They find solace in each other, filling the emptiness they have always known all their lives. However, Divina lives in the past (1957), while Marco in the present (2006).
