The Names of the ABS-CBN Teleseryes in the Other Countries

5:38 AM by Runner RockyNo comments

As much as Filipinos watch out for the latest Asianovela hits from Korea, China, Taiwan, or Japan, foreign viewers abroad also look forward to ABS-CBN dramas from the Philippines that air on their local TV stations. No one may have coined it yet, but we can say there is also a “Filipinovela” craze among non-Filipino viewers who are big fans of our local teleseryes.

If Korea has its Lee Min Ho, the Philippines has Jericho Rosales, whose dramas such as “Pangako Sa ‘Yo” and “Dahil May Isang Ikaw” are among the most sold worldwide. Ever wondered how ABS-CBN dramas such as “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” “Tubig at Langis,” “Dugong Buhay,” “Sana Bukas Pa ang Kahapon” and “Lobo” are called in foreign countries? Check them out below:

HUWAG KA LANG MAWAWALA

SANA MAULIT MULI

PRINSESA NG BANYERA

SA PILING MO

KAHIT PUSO’Y MASUGATAN

MULING BUKSAN ANG PUSO

MY BINONDO GIRL

MAGING SINO KA MAN

4:34 AM by Runner RockyNo comments

Former ‘May Bukas Pa’ star Zaijian Jaranilla takes on the challenging role of Carl, the ‘Tawag ng Tanghalan’ blind contestant in the New Year’s Eve special of ‘MMK.’

Before being known as the ‘Blind Balladeer of Bacolod,’ Carl (Zaijian) had already fallen in love with music. At a young age, he knew that he had a great voice that dared him to dream to become a famous singer someday.

However, it was not an easy road for him since any opportunity that knocked upon him fell short of his hopes.

Unluckily, while trying to pursue a singing career, he got used by others for money. Subsequently, Carl began to lose his will to dream and succeed in singing.

How did he regain his passion for singing that led him to the ‘Tawag ng Tanghalan’ stage?

Joining this “MMK” episode are Victor Neri, Ana Roces, Maricel Morales, Lander Vera Cruz, Alex Diaz, Glenda Garcia, Joaquin Reyes, and Nathaniel Brit. The episode is directed by Garry Fernando and written by Joan Habana. “MMK” is led by Star Creatives COO Malou Santos.

Spirited conversations dominate their daily routine as they discuss social issues of the day in humorous fashion.

Each argument tests the ties that bind Jerrod’s relationships with his girlfriend and family, and the values they learn from every verbal tussle they get into. In the end, they forgive and find each other in more heartwarming ways than one.

The Carmichael Show Seasons 1 & 2 premieres on January 22, Sunday at 8:00pm with 2 episodes back-to-back.
