Pictures From Himig Handog 2016

Here are some pictures I took from last night's Himig Handog 2016 Finals Night.

Q & A's from Live Taped Shows Freak Me Out!

When I was choosing the seat for the Himig Handog show last night, I didn't realize I would be put in a very precarious situation, since it was a live taped show.

I am no stranger to live ABS-CBN shows but this show had so many segments where the hosts asked audience members about their love lives and their hugot experiences - and the aisle seat I had was always near where the hosts did their spiels!

The aired show last night was heavily edited already but if you were in the live taped show, there were many sequences where the hosts, Robi, Kathryn and LizQuen talked directly to audience members!

Buti na lang, in all their spiel blockings, they missed me by a seat or two!

I would be petrified being shown on TV since I am very insecure about how I look and I wouldn't know what to say to questions like "How do you move on from a breakup?" (Find the hottest guys in your phone directory and have sex with all of them?)

Oh God, I can be Duterte-like when my mouth opens! Andami pa namang minors sa audience.

By the way, these are some BTS pictures from last night's show.

My First Time to Hear Daniel Padilla Sing Live

So this is the Daniel Padilla all the young girls (and gays) are going gaga over.

When I learned the KathNiel fans were going to be present in last night's Himig Handog show, I knew pandemonium was going to happen, and in a way, it did!

I have seen Daniel act in a movie and I was not surprised how charming he was since I've seen all the other Padillas act and they have that killer charm which ladies fall for (although one of them transformed into a lady) - but that's another story.

However, it was my first time to hear him sing live, and in fairness to the guy, he can carry a tune, and combine that with his innate charm, ayun, you realize why they're so into him!

Of course, when I told Laura earlier in the afternoon that I was going to see him later, she just shrugged nonchalantly, and said she did not care for boys.

I am still in a safe place, but I know, not for long!

A Quick Education on Today's Current Love Teams and their Combined Names

I may be a middle-aged man but last night, I had a crash course on the names of the current hot love teams in local showbiz.

Well, laking Gabby-Sharon, Maricel-William, Snooky-Richard ako e, so I'm not surprised why today's young people still go gaga over love teams.

I know KathNiel and JaDine but my katabi last night, a gregarious young man, also taught me the combined names of today's up-and-coming love teams.

Competing last night were BaiLona and MarNella and of course, there were the hosts, LizQuen, who were very popular, gauging from the reaction of the noisy fans of Dolce Amore.

Hayyy, to be so young and so in love! Di pa nila alam kung ano ang consequences of their love teams LOL

Wait till you have children, kids. It's a total game changer!

Remembering the time when Liza Soberano walked in our fashion show

During the Himig Handog show last night, I noticed that Robi inadvertently called Liza Soberano, "Oh, ikaw Hope,........"

That's because, industry insiders know her as Hope Soberano and I think she's the most famous "graduate" of all the FABE fashion shows we've ever done!

Kaya nga when a friend told me, "Uy, that girl in that Enrique Gil movie was your model", I was shocked to learn na lumaki na pala si Hope, dalagang-dalaga na!

In 2011, Hope Soberano, aka Liza Soberano joined our FABE Love Fashion Show. I think she was only 12 years old din.

Nun pa, standout pa sya, but I think then, her Tagalog was terrible.

In that show she joined, there were 120 models so ayun, it's easy to get lost in the mix.

Sayang, wala kami selfie, babae kasi sya LOL

This was the article I blogged about when Liza Soberano aka Hope Soberano joined the FABE Love fashion show, way back in 2011.
