Kristine Hermosa is world famous

Posted by Filipino Cultured - Art, Entertainment, Culture & Inspiration Blog on Sunday, January 27th, 2008 @ 9:29 am in Entertainment.

Many Filipinos don't realize it, but Kristine Hermosa, Jericho Rosales, Diether Ocampo, and Angelika de la Cruz are world famous, and I'm not just talking about among our own Filipino people living overseas. Their telenovelas are the most popular, highest rating shows in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Kenya, Ghana, Cameroon, Tanzania, Namibia, and Zamba, where they're all dubbed in the local languages and watched by the local people. Pangako Sa'yo was all the way back in 2000, but ABS-CBN is exporting it to other countries as The Promise, among other past productions like the one in 2005 with Diether Ocampo and Kristine Hermosa, and they love it. They love Filipino shows, and that should make any Pinoy proud. And I'm so humbled and thankful to our world friends from all those great countries for supporting our country and our products. Besides the presidents and former presidents' wives of course, Kristine Hermosa is probably one of the most recognized Filipina women in the world among non-Filipinos. Here they are being interviewed on Malaysian TV:

Video Clip: Daniela popular ABS-CBN novela

Posted by Filipino Cultured - Art, Entertainment, Culture & Inspiration Blog on Sunday, January 27th, 2008 @ 8:35 am in Entertainment.


Telenovelas are making a comeback again in the Philippines thanks to Marimar and Rosalinda, and it seems logical to post video flashbacks of the Philippine's most favorite ones, so that's what we'll do, so enjoy this special flashback clip of the TVnovela "Daniela" which was a ratings boom for ABS-CBN. I never saw this novela, but I wish I did because it looks great, and reading what other Pinoys have wrote about this novela on the web, I totally want to watch it. I'm just testing out the new code for the FLV player, you reap the benefits, hehe. It's not airing right now in L.A., but friends tell me this novela is airing in some Telemundo markets in the US, a boon for those Pinoys who watched it a few years ago, and want to watch it again. English subtitles on CC3.
