New Reality Gaming Show "The Gaming House" feat. Alodia, Tryke, and GHOST Wrecker Premieres September 25 on Kapamilya Channels

The search for the next big Filipino gaming icon begins this weekend in “The Gaming House,” a reality show featuring up-and-coming gamers and content creators, which premieres on iWantTFC and Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.

The streaming of the show on these digital platforms is made possible by ABS-CBN’s partnership with Tier One Entertainment, Southeast Asia’s leading gaming and esports entertainment company that manages some of the most in-demand gaming personalities.

“The Gaming House” kicks off on Saturday and Sunday (September 25 and 26) at 11:15 PM with a two-part primer to introduce the top 25 auditionees, the live auditions, and the process to select the final ten trainees who will be chasing their dreams inside the “Gaming House” mansion.

Over the course of three months, the ten trainees will compete in challenges that are designed to test their character, authenticity, appeal, and creativity. Each week, one trainee will bid goodbye to the competition based on public votes and/or the scores given by the show’s three judges, Tier One Entertainment founders Tryke Gutierrez and Alodia Gosiengfiao and star streamer GHOST Wrecker.

In the end, only four trainees will fight to become the next gaming icon and win a management contract with Tier One Entertainment.

With 20 episodes of nail-biting excitement, “The Gaming House” is hosted by streamer and cosplayer Aya Ezmaria and multi-platform content creator Josh Liñan. Throughout the season, some of the country’s top content creators and gaming influencers will appear in the show to mentor the trainees.

ABS-CBN head of digital Jamie Lopez expressed his excitement for this new venture and said viewers can look forward to more surprises from the partnership with Tier One.

“The local esports and gaming community continues to grow and thrive – more talents are waiting to be discovered, and there is an abundance of content ideas and digital experiences that we can experiment with. Tier One is a driving force in the community, and ABS-CBN is here to give them further momentum by leveraging our network to reach our Kapamilya and convert some of them into gamers themselves,” he said.

“The Gaming House” will be livestreamed on Kapamilya Online Live at 11:15 PM on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page and on the iWantTFC app and website. All of its episodes will also be available on-demand for free on iWantTFC.

Former Bulilit Child Star Cha-Cha Cañete Now a Grown-up Lady, Releases Hugot Song Called "Agwat"

“I guess her ‘makulit’ days are indeed behind her because Cha-Cha (Cañete) is always laser focused on the set, and there’s an air of seriousness too. She always has that depth while performing,” said Dexter Dakanay when asked how Cañete is as a talent in “Agwat” the newest music video he directed for Star Music.

This super cute former “Bulilit” child actress punching jokes has gracefully transitioned into this pretty and smart teener, currently in Senior High in UST (ABM Strand) and doing music performing on the side.

Hit-maker & composer Jungee Marcelo said that the song “Agwat” when you get to listen to it is not actually just about romantic relationships. It can also be about relationships with friends and co-workers and everyone’s hot topic nowadays, politics. “I love singing because it bridges generations, it takes away language barriers, it speaks out to people in situations and more importantly, it brings happiness and good memories to listeners.” the young singer shared.

Dakanay said that Cha-Cha sang Marcelo’s music with heart, dynamics and all. “Like a good storyteller, Cha-Cha interpreted the song with pain and longing. I eventually backtracked and watched her Youtube videos, surely an ear candy experience,” added the music director.

“When I was a child performer, I was truly happy to bring smiles to people who saw or watched me. There was love and support. As I am now in my teens, people still remember that child and I am still receiving the positive vibes despite having been away for some years. I am part of their good memories, I guess,” Cha-Cha happily shared.

The music video of this mid-tempo ballad single “Agwat” was just formally launched in a recent virtual media conference and can be viewed on ABS-CBN Star Music’s Youtube account.

Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60gggdF7igw. 

It is also available on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and its lyric video, on Youtube. It was shot at “Artist On A Mission” Kristine Lim’s home and farm.

iQiyi Original K-Series "Jirisan" Trailer and Poster Reveal

iQiyi unveiled the latest poster and trailer for original K-series Jirisan starring Gianna Jun and Ju Ji-hoon, and created by director Lee Eung-bok (Descendants of The Sun, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God) and writer Kim Eun-hee (Signal, Kingdom). 

The series was announced on September 16 to simulcast in Korea exclusively on iQiyi worldwide in October 23rd.

Jirisan's latest poster reveal sees Jun, playing a national park ranger, walks into a forest engulfed in flames. In the mountains like Jirisan, crises come from downpours, floods, and fires. She has to take risks and rescue victims out at the frontline. The tagline on the poster also lists the first principle for rangers: “Our job is to return alive from dangers”. A mysterious silhouette in the title font is a clue to secrets in the mountains. It adds another layer of suspense before the premiere.

Check out the teaser trailer HERE where Jun and Ju casually explore the mountains at the beginning but soon find themselves running around anxiously in the forest with several terrifying scenes in sight, such as a smartphone with blood stains, or a mountaineer covered in blood in a snowfield. As the characters exclaim, “We were not the only ones on the mountain! Someone murdered people!”, it revealed the unspeakable secrets on Jirisan, a mountain “standing on the border of human world and afterlife”.

The story is based on interviews with national park workers by writer Kim Eun-hee. “When I wrote Jirisan at the beginning,” said Kim, “it didn’t focus on rangers. I was more interested in stories about mountaineers. However, I was more intrigued about their work after interviews.” Many amateurs often get injured or stranded as they let their guard down after reaching mountaintops. Rangers, instead, believe that “the top objective of mountaineering is leaving alive”. Even under downpours, snowstorms, landslides, typhoons, and other inferior weather conditions, rangers are committed to rescuing victims in the mountains. “They are really the mountain keepers,” said Kim.

iQiyi original K-series Jirisan tells a story of how an experienced national park ranger (played by Gianna Jun) and a rookie ranger (played by Ju Ji-hoon) unveil secrets hidden in the mountain. 

Besides Jun and Ju, Jirisan packs a powerful cast that includes Oh Jung-se (It's Okay to not be Okay, When the Camellia Blooms), who won Best Supporting Actor at Baeksang Arts Awards this year, Sung Dong-il (Reply 1988, The Cursed), Jo Han-chul (Vincenzo), Jun Suk-ho (Kingdom), and Go Min-si (Youth of May). Together, this team protects and safeguards forests and mountains in Jirisan National Park.

The show will exclusively simulcast with Korea in October on iQiyi International app or iQ.com worldwide.

Vice Ganda Impersonates Charos Santos, To Give Away 2-Million Jackpot Prize in “Everybody, Sing: 100 Songbayanan Special”

Vice Ganda nailed her impersonation of “MMK” host Charo Santos as she imparted advice and wisdom to social media content creators that played in “Everybody, Sing!” last September 12.

In the episode that aired on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z, Vice told the songbayanan to strive to produce and upload positive content for their viewers and not focus so much on virality and monetization.

“Sana isaisip din natin kung ‘yung nilalabas nating content kahit papano, kahit paminsan-minsan, may positivity ba doon sa content na ‘yun ‘di ba,” said Vice.

“Masaya ‘yung monetization but it shouldn’t always be monetization ang purpose natin ‘di ba? Kailangan pa rin sa dulo ng mga ginagawa nating ‘to, masasabi natin na tama ba ‘yung pinost ko? Tama ba ‘yung content ko? Ito bang content ko ‘pag nakita ng nanay ko mapa-proud sa akin ‘yung nanay ko,” Vice continued.

Just like the players, Vice is also a content creator online and currently has 5.85 million subscribers on YouTube. After hearing the story of fellow creators Aga and Jai, who have received negative comments on social media, Vice said they should not be swayed or bullied by bashers.

“The possibility with well-known people is to be misinterpreted. ‘Pag alam mo naman sa sarili mo ‘yung laman ng puso mo, hindi ka na maliligaw. Mas maliligaw ka ‘pag sinunod mo ang lahat ng direksyong sinasabi ng samu’t saring tao. Ang susundin mo lang ‘yung direksyon na sinasabi ng puso at kaluluwa mo,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Fans of “Everybody, Sing!” are in for a treat as 100 “songbayanan” will be playing and singing with Vice Ganda in the show’s next six episodes starting this Saturday (September 25) on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z.

Dubbed as “100 Songbayanan Special,” these episodes of the “greatest community singing game show in the country” were taped before the pandemic in 2020 and features 100 players, 10 games, and a P2 million jackpot prize.

“Ito ‘yung mga episodes na nagawa po namin bago pa nauso ang social distancing nating lahat kaya tutukan niyo ‘yan sa tatlong sunod-sunod na weekends. Isang malaking thank you namin ‘yan for everybody na nakipag-bayanihan sa amin sa saya at sa kantahan,” explained Vice after announcing the special last night (September 19).

First to display teamwork as they sing for the grand prize are the songbayanan of haircutters who will play this Saturday (September 25) and Sunday (September 26).

“Everybody, Sing” still airs at 7 pm every Saturday on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z while it starts at 7:30 pm on Sundays until October 3 right after “Legends of Dawn: The Sacred Stone.” It will return to its original Sunday timeslot at 7 pm on October 10. The program can also be viewed via Kapamilya Online Live, iWantTFC, and TFC.
