Last time on Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3, the models shot their motion editorials/TV commercials for the Subaru Forester. The client Glenn Tan was one of the judges this week, and it was important to him for the girls to portray the brief in the most credible manner. The girls had to play an architect, baker, businesswoman, tennis coach, and yogi. Who topped and who flopped in their commercials? Here’s my own call out order:
Sad that you missed Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady The Musical on its opening run? Well, here’s your chance to witness the new hit musical on its rerun this July. This time, catch it at On Stage, Greenbelt 1, Makati City.
This original Pilipino musical is directed by Chris Martinez. The star studded cast also returns with Bituin Escalante & Frenchie Dy as Mely (the dakilang maid who is challenged to work with the most unusual set of bosses yet ), Kim Molina & Natasha Cabrera as Viva (Mely’s not so bright but voluptuous and loving sister), Markki Stroem & Hans Eckstein as Leading Man (the newbie superhero that struggles to find his place) and many more.
I have watched the show three times already and I’m still left in awe each and every time! The July 18 gala show is even more special since portion of the proceeds is for the benefit of Center for Health Improvement and Life Development (CHILDHAUS). CHILDHAUS’s mission is to provide a temporary home to children and adults undergoing medical evaluation/treatment for cancer and other illnesses in different government hospitals of Metro Manila.

Dear ABS-CBN, GMA, TV5 and other local channels:
I’ll make this post short. I would just like to request for you to please stop accepting political propaganda ads at least not at this time. I know. I know. These ads are not illegal. No laws are being broken because the ads do not explicitly use the term “vote” or whatever the legal loophole is.
Finding loopholes through technicalities: This is something we Filipinos, not just politicians, are good at. Hangga’t may butas, lusot lang. Okay lang na di ako mag-seatbelt sa kotse, wala namang makakakita. Okay lang na uminom ako at magdrive, di naman ako lasing. Okay lang na damihan ko ang unli-twirl sa Family Mart kahit di ko maubos, binayaran ko naman ‘yun eh. Sige lusot pa!
We have this natural tendency to justify wrong actions. May nalalaman pa tayong lesser evil ek ek. Siguro, mayroong mga gray area na applicable ‘to. Pero sa usapan ng eleksyon at estado ng bansa natin, di na pwede ang trial and error! Konti na lang lulubog na tayong lahat.
We need to have this rare quality to not choose the lesser evil, but instead create something for the greater good. Strategize. Think of the long term. Consider what will happen to the future generations. ‘Pag pumutol ba ako ng puno, may epekto ba ‘to? ‘Pag nagtambak ako ng lupa sa dagat, okay lang ba ‘yun? Parang dati binabasa ko pa nung bata ako ang mga signage ng The Four Way Test ng Rotary Club, thinking “Wow! Tama ‘yung mga tanong. Dapat i-memorize ko ‘to para pagtanda ko.” Pero tumanda na ako’t lahat, di naman siya nasusunod.
Local channels, you should choose to be the greater good. Ang contradicting lang kasi. You campaign for clean elections but then you show political ads that obviously would affect the outcome of the elections. Tapos ‘yung iba pa sa inyo may affiliation sa politics. It’s time to do the greater good: TV is a powerful medium. Politicians pay you to run their ads. You could choose to turn them down. Naturingan pa namang may news and public affairs department kayo. The public is who you should protect, not the politicians who have money to throw at you. I guess you are also businesses, and you also need money. Their money. But wait! Those come from taxpayers’ money too. Our money. You should know better.
Maybe, this is just a way for you to be fair. Politicians have free speech rights too. Or maybe to show TV viewers which future candidates have the highest campaign funds. There might be a correlation between high funds and possible corruption in the future. I don’t know.
I really don’t know.
Thanks,
XX

The latest episode ended unexpectedly with a cliffhanger. We were left with Amanda and Barbara, two beautiful girls standing before Georgina without knowing who was actually sent home. We hear your debates in our comment section and to quote our dear bestie Georgina: “We need to think about the bigger picture – not only the motion editorial but also their place in the competition because one of these girls will become Asia’s Next Top Model.”
We need to look back on how both girls performed throughout the competition and compare this to what we think their potential is for the rest of the competition, as well as in the international modeling scene. As if, our opinions are professionally guided. But yeah, we’re the viewers, so why not, eh?
Here’s a quick review of what Amanda and Barbara have so far in their AsNTM3 portfolio.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is #TeamAmanda versus #TeamBarbara.
