  • Vinyl Gold Rush: More audiophiles troop to latest edition of ‘One Stop Record Fair’

    Vinyl Gold Rush: More audiophiles troop to latest edition of ‘One Stop Record Fair’

    More and more audiophiles keep digging their hands for hours to score the vinyl record they have been searching for so long. Audiophiles crowded the first “One Stop Record Fair” for this year which kicked off at the new Greenhills Mall in San Juan City recently.

    The quarterly music event “One Stop Record Fair” featured over 30 vinyl record sellers, such as Bunnygod Records, Tambai Records, Lennox Records, Kapitan Plaka, Musique Vibe Records, Mamsy Records, Plakatons, Ohmandys, and Perfect Day Records, among others. Vinyl records from as early as the 60s to 2020s were discounted up to 50 percent and sold for as low as 200 pesos, but everyone is welcome to negotiate and ask for discounts. First pressings are often sold for an expensive price so it’s good to note for next time to bring additional cash.

    Got no turntable and other audio equipment yet? Fret not because cassette tapes and compact discs (CDs) were also available at the record fair. Audio-Technica had a booth selling their audio gear such as turntables and speakers. Notable titles which are sold at the event are Bob James Trio’s “Feel like Making Love” and “The World’s Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings” both from UG34 Music; Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s “Buckingham Nicks (Japan Pressing” and “City Pop Avenue” by Paper Moon Project from Bunnygod Records; Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians’ “Shooting Rubberbands At The Sky (US First Pressing) and Charles Mingus’ “Mingus at Monterey (Japan pressing mono)” from New Vintage Culture and other unique records sold.

    Cubil’s wife Keiko Necesario, who is also a singer-songwriter, joined him on stage to sing their song “Una.” Meanwhile, director and actor Bobot Mortiz launched his 8-track vinyl album “Goin’ Standard,” a collection of standards popularized by Frank Sinatra, at the record fair.

    “I am happy with the outcome of this event. One Stop Record Fair is indeed successful. I can say that ‘our events are always successful, and it was different from previous fair since it was more fun and more people came,’” said Sari Osorio, the organizer of the record fair.

    Osorio noted that the people are also more excited this time because they already know what the record fair offers and they want to get a look at what has been added to the mix since the last fair.

    Get ready to get digging because the next “One Stop Record Fair will be in June 2024.

    BingoPlus rocks to the beat of the music with The Manila Times

    BingoPlus, your comprehensive entertainment and amusement platform and the first online Bingo app in the country, added to the liveliness of The Manila Times’ Himig Bayani 2024: Battle of the Uniformed Service Bands last February 9, 2024 held at Winford Hotel Sta. Cruz Manila.

    Together with The Manila Times, BingoPlus gave an avenue for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to express themselves through music. Eight bands took to the stage and performed songs from a variety of genres, including some original pieces.

    The judge lineup featured Hon. Michael Ang, Wency Cornejo, Cooky Chua, Janina Lorelai, and a BingoPlus representative. The Philippine Navy Seabees Band came out on top as the winner of the battle of the bands, bagging Php 100,000.00.

    BingoPlus picked out its own winner for the BingoPlus Choice Award. The PNP was chosen for its audience impact and received a cheque worth Php 10,000.00 for their efforts.

    On top of providing an additional incentive to win, BingoPlus also set up a booth outside the venue. Booth visitors were given the chance to play a wheel of fortune game and win different types of BingoPlus merchandise.

    BingoPlus’ partnership with The Manila Times comes from its commitment that music plays a significant role in the Philippine lifestyle, both as a hobby and source of entertainment. It saw Himig Bayani 2024 as an opportunity to encourage further interest in music, particularly in local talent.

    As brands dedicated to the relaxation of Filipinos and the development of Philippine culture, ArenaPlus and BingoPlus remain steadfast in supporting local sports, recreational, and leisure activities. They continue to work on developing avenues and opportunities to make leisure and sports more accessible and relevant to the Filipinos.

  • Philippine Ballet Theatre Ablaze With Passion

    Philippine Ballet Theatre Ablaze With Passion

    The Philippine Ballet Theatre’s triumph over daunting obstacles and hardships is a celebration of the company; resolute spirit that continues the revolutionary fighting spirit of its founders. Bold, Brave, and Beautiful, the company, and all the people behind it, continue to dream and fight, striving to see their dreams come to reality.

    In 2023, the Company celebrated its dramatic emergence from the pandemic. With the revolutionary fighting spirit of the Company and the solid vision of Artistic Director Ronilo Jaynario, the company proved that they have stayed at the forefront of the industry. They closed the season with a warmly embraced full Filipino ballet “Ibalon”, an electric tour in the United States of America and their crowd favorite, “The Nutcracker”. This 2024, their journey continues as they prepare to take flight.

    The Philippine Ballet Theatre proudly announces its vibrant 38th season. This season, PBT embraces the theme “Ablaze”. They begin the season with another brand new Filipino ballet “Sarimanok”. This ballet is ready to soar unveiling the beautiful tapestry of our culture.

    “Sarimanok” is a dance of culture and myth. “Sarimanok” is a bird in Filipino Mindanao mythology. The magical bird with its majestic colors is the center of a love story between a mortal and a moon goddess.

    This mythical creature, renowned for its vibrant feathers and captivating presence, takes center stage in a ballet that transcends the boundaries of time and culture. The ballet will be choreographed by the same creative team of “Ibalon”. Artistic Director Ronilo Jaynario will be choreographing the ballet with the music of Paulo Zarate. It is slated to premiere in early July.

    “Music in Motion”, PBT’s second offering will be a mixed bill program of neoclassical works by artistic director Ronilo Jaynario with the music of maestro Raul Sunico. It will be a blend of familiar Filipino music brought to life through Philippine Ballet Theatre’s exquisite dancing. A flurry of emotions and diverse movement all packed in one show. In a dinner and dance format, this season offering is set to be performed sometime in September.

    PBT will end their season with their crowd pleaser. “Nutcracker” is a tradition that is hard to resist. It not only serves as a ballet that ushers in the holiday spirit, it also serves as PBT’s advocacy project. With a cast of 100 dancers, it is able to educate young dancers from different schools regarding the remarkable discipline of ballet.

    With a renewed passion for their advocacy, PBT will try to keep their fire burning for their advocacies. As of date they are scheduled to go on a local tour including Legaspi, Bicol, and Bacolod. The number of tour dates are increasing in number as we speak. The Company is also scheduled to go on an international tour this coming October to select cities in the United States of America.

    Much has been accomplished but more is to be achieved. PBT is excited to engage with a wider range of audiences this 2024. A RESIDENT COMPANY OF THE CULTURAL CENTER OF THE PHILIPPINES

    LionhearTV prepares for the 9th RAWR Awards to celebrate excellence in showbiz

    Entertainment-Lifestyle website LionhearTV recently commemorated its 15th anniversary in October and is now diligently gearing up for the 9th RAWR Awards. This annual extravaganza stands as a testament to LionhearTV’s unwavering commitment to recognizing and celebrating excellence in the dynamic showbiz industry.

    The RAWR Awards has morphed into a dazzling spectacle, drawing together not only the robust support of 250 new media practitioners (bloggers) from all corners of the Philippines but also the enthusiastic backing of PR groups and fans ardently supporting their favorite nominees.

    The inception of the RAWR Awards traces back to 2015, an era when the blogging community was burgeoning. However, it was evident that there was a conspicuous gap in acknowledging and honoring the voices of bloggers and their ardent readers. To fill this void, LionhearTV conceived the RAWR Awards.

    Year after year, the RAWR Awards are presented through the LionhearTV.net platform, aptly christened after the mighty lion, symbolizing the strength and influence these awardees hold in the entertainment sphere. These accolades are dedicated to individuals who have left an indelible mark on the industry.

    In the nascent stages, the awards were exclusively organized by LionhearTV, with victors chosen by the website’s loyal readers. Over time, the voting process extended to encompass more than 100 bloggers from various regions of the Philippines, each representing a diverse niche within the bustling blogging community. Despite the vicissitudes encountered along this journey, the unwavering commitment to this cause remains steadfast, driven by the belief that this represents the collective voice of the blogging community, a voice deserving of recognition and acclaim within the broader entertainment panorama.

    The RAWR Awards are divided into four principal categories: Lion, Cub, Pride, and SILOG Awards. The Cub Awards encompass nine subcategories, encompassing distinctions such as Beshie ng Taon, Favorite Bida, Favorite Kontrabida, Breakthrough Artist, Favorite Newbie, Bet na Bet na Teleserye, Song of the Year, Movie of the Year, and Digital Series. The Lion Awards feature nine categories, venerating luminaries including the Actor of the Year, Actress of the Year, Pak na Pak na Comedian, Male News Personality of the Year, Female News Personality of the Year, Love Team of the Year, Favorite Performer of the Year, Favorite TV Host, and Favorite DJ. The Pride Awards, on the other hand, encapsulate four categories, paying homage to entities such as the Radio Station of the Year, TV Station of the Year, Favorite Group, and Fan Club of the Year. Lastly, the SILOG Awards boast an impressive array of 17 categories, celebrating digital influencers and content creators, spanning domains like Art, Content Creation, Cosplay, Couples, Digital Influence, Drag, Fashion/Beauty, Food/Travel, Gaming, Health/Fitness, Influencer Families, LGBTQIA, Parenting, Podcasts, Streaming, Short-Form Vlogging, and Long-Form Vlogging.

    The RAWR Awards, with a cumulative count of 31 categories, in conjunction with the SILOG Awards, featuring 17 categories, furnish the Philippine entertainment industry with an illustrious platform for appreciation and commendation.

    Fans play a pivotal role in determining the victors, holding 66.66% of the voting authority. This authority is parceled into two equitable segments: 33.33% from online votes via the official website and KTX and another 33.33% from online searches conducted within LionhearTV, Dailypedia, and PH Entertainment. The remaining 33.33% is contributed by the blogging community, PR entities, and brand partners.

    The RAWR Awards transcend merely recognizing local talent; they also endeavor to forge stronger alliances with like-minded partners who share the same vision. These awards serve as an opportunity for LionhearTV.net to extend its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has fervently backed the website since its inception.

    The polls for voting your favored nominees in their respective categories are now live and accessible through LionhearTV’s RAWR Awards website. Voting will continue until December 4, 11:59 PM. Show your support, and let your voice be heard in celebrating the best of Philippine showbiz.
