DZMM won 2 New York Festival awards

When I was still studying, I used to listen to AM radios while preparing to go to school. This is especially true when the weather is not good or there are storms in the country. Who knows? Classes may be suspended and I want to be the first to know… lol.

While most people would prefer watching Television or browsing the internet for daily news and entertainment, I still listens to AM radio from time to time mainly when I’m doing something else or I’m travelling. Anyway, if you want to get updated to what’s happening around the country, this is the fastest medium? Chances are, you will even be listening to one of top TV broadcaster in the land but this time on radio.

When it comes to AM radio, I’m a fan of DZMM. They offer the freshest news and the most sensible commentaries; they also have the most credible broadcasters like Ted Failon, Korina Sanchez anchoring their programs.

I recently heard this good news about my favorite radio station:
DZMM Radyo Patrol 630khz, the flagship AM radio station of ABS-CBN received two international honors last May from the New York Festivals International Radio Broadcasting Awards.

The 'Special Coverage of the Manila Hostage Drama' is a finalist in the Breaking News Story, while the science-oriented radio show "Bago Yan, Ah!" hosted by station manager Angelo Palmones is a finalist for the Talk Show Host category.

Just last year, the radio station also bagged the Best News category for Radio at the 2007 Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Prizes held in Tehran besting more than 50 entries worldwide. This is in its continuing commitment to be Una sa Balita, Una sa Public Service.

According to the ABS-CBN news, Palmones is set to leave the country for the awards ceremony that will be held this coming June 19 at Tribeca Rooftop in New York.

The Incredible Hulk (2008) trailer.

I just watched the trailer of this much awaited sequel to “The Incredible Hulk” and as expected it kicks off an action-packed and explosive epic. This time, Dr. Bruce Banner is played by Edward Norton.

In this new beginning after the Gamma radiation, Dr. Banner desperately seeks a cure to his unique condition which causes him to turn into a giant green monster that unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him.

In the movie, Bruce Banner is living in the shadows, scouring the planet in search of an antidote. He struggles to avoid the warmongers who intends to brutally exploit his power but in the process, he was cut off from the woman he loves, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler).

However, upon his return to the civilization, he is confronted by the ruthless Abomination whose destructive strength matches The Hulk’s own.

Will Bruce Banner accept a peaceful life or find the heroism in the creature he may permanently become?

I can even tolerate almost all music genres, yeah, including those that can already be considered as noise…lol. Proof of which is my wide collection of MP3 files on my computer.

Kung Fu Panda

Another movie that is currently showing in local cinemas is the Kung Fu Panda which stars the voices of, among others, Jack Black, Jackie Chan, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, David Cross and Ian McShane. I will surely watch this film over the weekend.

Kung Fu Panda is the story of Po, an enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy noddle-maker. Po was unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy to become the “chosen one” to save the day against the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung. Po’s dreams become a reality when he was trained alongside five of the greatest warriors that the world has ever known to help him - Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey--under the leadership of their teacher and trainer, Master Shifu. He puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the improbable hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses can turn out to be his supreme strengths.

Another thing to watch out on this movie is our very own Sam Concepcion’s version of the movie’s theme song which will be played during the end credits of the film for every single screening here in the Philippines. This makes Sam the first Filipino to work with Dreamworks Pictures for a huge project such as this.

Here's the movie's trailer:

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

One of the movies that are currently playing on local cinemas is the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I haven’t seen the movie but I saw the trailer and it looks like this is something worth watching especially for those who are into action and fantasy movies like me.

Based on the trailer, this 2008 sequel is noticeably darker and more action-packed than THE LION, THE WITCH & THE WARDROBE, once again directed by Andrew Adamson. It is driven by the struggle between the Telmarines and the banished Narnians, resulting in many fierce battle sequences.

This movie is based on the second novel in C.S. Lewis's beloved CHRONICLES OF NARNIA series, PRINCE CASPIAN finds the four Pevensie children--Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy)--once again whisked away from WWII-era England into the realm of Narnia, where the siblings once ruled as royalty. However, they soon discover that 1,300 years have passed since they left, the Golden Age of Narnia has become instinct and the world is now controlled by the Telmarines, humans who long ago banished the magical creatures of Narnia to the wilderness. When Prince Caspian, the heir to the Telmarine throne survives an assassination attempt plotted by his uncle, Miraz, he stumbles across Narnia's exiled enchanted population, and decides to lead them in an uprising, aided by Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy.
