2023 became a year for all nostalgia lovers. It was Christmas in Summer as Voltes V Legacy finally made it to the screens after almost a decade of being “in the works.” The celebrated cinematic action-drama television series debuted on 8 May 2023, sparking nationwide debate and massive raves among fans of the hit 1977 Japanese Anime series. This adaptation is reported to air 80 episodes in 16 weeks (four months).

 

The past Friday saw the broadcast of the 40th episode technically means we are now halfway through the entire program. That prompted me to ask: How's Voltes V Legacy been doing so far?

So we have seen enough. Four televised debates for the 2016 General Elections were staged—three of them were intended for the Presidential candidates, while the remaining one is for the vice-presidential slate.

That being said, every single one of us news-savvy citizens tend to criticize the output by whatever means possible.

And honestly, some of you may not agree with me, but here is my final ranking on which show sucked big time, and which debate stood out the most?

Ngayong hapon gaganapain ang ikalawang edisyon ng PiliPinas Deabtes 2016, at gaganapain naman ito sa Cebu at mapapanood sa TV5.

Pero bago ang lahat, alin ang mga tumatak sa isaipan mo noong unang sumahimpapawid ang #PiliPinasDeabtes2016 sa GMA-7 na live na live din noon sa Cagayan De Oro? Maliban pa sa mga sandamakmak na commerical at pagiging kabado ni Mike Enriquez (Excuse me po!)?

He's back! E Ano Ngayon?

Masyado nang nakakaurat ang mga balita, mula sa pagbatikos kay Binay hanggang sa sa mga pagiging matigas ag ulo ni PNoy (both literally and figuratively), hanggang sa hangover ng tao sa Binibining Pilipinas mula sa bwarsh-bwarsh na pagsasalita ng isa sa mga hosts (eh? Si Ariella Arida daw ba ‘yun?) hanggang sa mala-stand up diumano ni Toni Gonzaga off-air, hanggang sa pagmulta ni Beau Belga dahil sa pagiging patola diumano sa ilang siraulong fan ng PBA (sino bang nasa katinuan ang mambabato ng bote sa hardcourt? Kups ampucha!).

Pero maiba tayo, pasensya na kung bigla akong nashowbiz dito. I heard na si Willie Revillame ay babalik sa telebisyon ah.
