Sharon Cuneta @ Star Power

Aside from running a busy household which includes raising her two younger daughters Frankie and Miel, Megastar Sharon Cuneta is also busy gearing up for three new exciting shows. One of these is the newest talent search called "Star Power" which is set to premiere on October 10. Although her hectic work schedule is a pace she has grown to adapt to over the years, Sharon says she still feels lucky that her family is very understanding, especially when she’s starting new projects.

Sharon plays multiple roles in the show: host, judge, and mentor. She admits it was not easy to find potential stars that could embody everything she was looking for. She doesn’t have to be a genius, but she has to have a good mind, she has to have talent, she has to know how to stand in front of an audience and perform humbly. Sharon says the show hopes to develop the young hopefuls to their full potential and help develop them into genuine artists.

Sharon also stressed that it’s not just important for the Star Power contestants to have talent, but they should try to have originality as well. Contestants may all want to sound like Sarah (Geronimo) or Regine (Velasquez) or Celine (Dion) and it’s fantastic but they also have to develop their own style. We want them to keep what they already have, but also to develop something else that can be truly called their own.

As a judge, Sharon says she doesn’t see the need to be too harsh to be effective. She's not going to ruin someone’s spirit just for the ratings but she will certainly put people in their place if they need it, like a mother. According to Garlic Garcia, head writer of Star Power, the Megastar will show the audience a more personal side in the show. Helping the megastar in hosting Star Power are two products of reality singing contests themselves: Christian Bautista and Erik Santos.

Imortal by ABS-CBN

IMORTAL is an upcoming Philippine supernatural-fantasy horror TV series produced by ABS-CBN starring ANGEL LOCSIN and JOHN LLOYD CRUZ. Three hundred years ago, a group of powerful beings arrived in our shores. Known as vampires, drinkers of human blood, their menace quickly spread throughout the land. But unknown to them, a powerful clan also lived in the islands, a group of beings who can transform themselves into powerful wolves - the Taong Lobos. The Taong Lobos were the humans' protectors and they immediately formed an army to destroy the vampires. The blood drinkers were no match to the Taong Lobos. One by one, they fell. Those who survived were driven into hiding. What followed was peace among the humans and taong lobos, and the memory of the vampires started to fade. But the vampires are only lying in wait – organizing and fortifying their numbers until they are ready. They are holding a secret – a prophecy that foretells of an epic battle between them and the Taong Lobos that will finally decide the one blood that shall rule all. The battle shall be led by a powerful vampire and a powerful taong lobo that are each other nemesis and downfall. The vampires believe they have found their prophesied savior and now they are preparing to come out and start the war. The Taong Lobos have grown complacent, and they know nothing about the prophecy. With the stage set for an epic battle, two individuals, Mateo and Lia, find themselves drawn to each other, unsuspecting that as they grow closer together, they are awakening the powers that are lying dormant in both of them – the same powers that will inevitably tear them apart.
