ABS-CBN Sports and the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) renewed their contract for another five years last Sunday (October 4) at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.
With another five years, the UAAP and ABS-CBN will be partners up until 2015, marking 15 years of unrivalled partnership that has not only been durable but also unbeatable in lifting college competition to a whole new level.
"I hope that in the coming years, ABS-CBN will show them that their confidence and trust in our broadcast organization is well-founded, as we continue to try to be in the forefront of all technological improvements," ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio "Gabby" Lopez III said. This year, ABS-CBN brought UAAP to the digital era by airing the live basketball games in high definition, a first in the history of local television.
UAAP President Anton Montinola of the Far Eastern University, on the other hand, expressed his appreciation to the Kapamilya Network and like Lopez, hopes for a more fruitful partnership in the coming years.
"ABS-CBN Sports has been excellent partners for the UAAP. As witnessed in the last several years, the popularity of the UAAP has increased. We have been very successful and we hope to take our success to the next level," Montinola said.
The UAAP has been the breeding ground for the country’s top college players during the last few years and in partnership with ABS-CBN Sports has developed to become the most popular sports league in the Philippines.
Present during the contract signing were ABS-CBN Chairman Gabby Lopez III, ABS-CBN Vice-President for Sports Peter Musngi, ABS-CBN Chief Finance officer Rolando Valdueza and Studio 23 head and ABS-CBN Senior Vice-President March Ventosa.
Representing the UAAP were UAAP President Anton Montinola of Far Eastern University and UAAP Board of Trustees members Ricky Palou of ADMU and Noel Buenaventura of De La Salle University. The other UAAP Board members were on hand to witness this historic event.

American rock band Journey, featuring Pinoy singer Arnel Pineda, guests for the second time around in the Oprah Winfrey Show to promote their latest album, "Revelation" and the new "Journey in Manila DVD."
The said episode was aired last October 5 in the United States.
After singing their hit song "Don't Stop Believing", the band members talked about their experience when they first heard Arnel in a YouTube video back in 2007.
Journey’s guitarist Neal Schon narrates that he found this video in YouTube featuring Arnel performing at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manila. Arnel was singing the Journey song "Faithfully" and he could not believe that such a small guy like Arnel could have an amazing vocal prowess.
Neal contacted his co-members Jonathan Cain (keyboard), Deen Castronovo (drums) and Ross Valory (bass) who were equally impressed with Arnel. He told them: "The guy got great pipes, does he speak English?"
Valory said he had GS or "goosebumps surplus" when he first heard Arnel sing.
Castronovo said: "It was frightening just to hear that voice come out from that little guy. We couldn’t believe it. It’s just so strong. And the best part about it was just how humble the man was, how humble human being, beautiful heart."
Oprah describes the discovery of Arnel "a divine order that show so boldly".
"I’m facing you [Winfrey] right now. You are [one of the] biggest [names] in show business and I’m facing you. It’s like… I’m not allowed to be here but I’m here. And I thank God for that," Arnel said.
"I’ve seen enough pain and poverty in the Philippines. I’ve never been that big. All I wanted was to be able to get out of it — the pain and the poverty – and live decently everyday," he added.
Because Arnel's success story inspired many people around the world, it was reported that his life story will be made into a biopic titled "Don’t Stop Believing: Every Man’s Journey."
Journey also performed "Faithfully", the song he was singing when he was discovered in YouTube, and Oprah together with her studio audience were all blown away.

Philippine ex-President Joseph "Erap" Estrada and Pinoy filmmaker Brillante Mendoza will be featured in separate episodes of Scene by Scene—Films of Asia Pacific. The documentaries will be aired on CNN International this October.
Hosted by CNN's Anna Coren, the four 30-minute documentaries celebrate the cultural diversity and outstanding quality of the films being produced in the region.
Erap was interviewed by CNN on the set of his upcoming Star Cinema film Ang Tanging Pamilya. He is cast as the father of Toni Gonzaga and he acts opposite comedienne Ai-Ai delas Alas. Sam Milby plays the Fil-Am boyfriend of Toni's character.
In the official website of CNN, it gave this episode guide:
"Removed from office in a bloodless coup amidst massive protests in 2001, former Philippine president Joseph Estrada, once an action movie star, returns this year to the big screen with his first film since his ousting over allegations of incompetence and corruption. Estrada starred in 120 movies in a 26 year acting career and used film as a launching pad for his political ambitions.

"Removed from office in a bloodless coup amidst massive protests in 2001, former Philippine president Joseph Estrada, once an action movie star, returns this year to the big screen with his first film since his ousting over allegations of incompetence and corruption. Estrada starred in 120 movies in a 26 year acting career and used film as a launching pad for his political ambitions. 'Scene by Scene' visits Estrada on the set of his new comedy where he plays a minibus driver trying to deal with his daughter's plans to marry her Filipino-American boyfriend. At 72 years of age, Estrada is poised for a star comeback—in both film and politics."

Judy Ann Santos is one of the few famous faces to have graced the cover of Preview magazine for the fourth time. Thrilled to be doing something different from the usual studio shoot, the actress tells with excitement, "It's really exciting. Every Preview shoot that I have, they really give me something new."
Even more exciting is the chance every reader has of winning what Judy Ann is wearing on the cover (click here to join the promo).
The challenging shoot with photographer Paolo Pineda required Judy Ann to pose and walk around wildly growing talahib at Nuvali in Laguna, which she referred to as revisiting her "Ula" days.
Judy Ann never complained about the heat or the location, even as she was required to walk back and forth across the tall kogon grass many times. Perhaps that gorgeous pair of boots helped, for the actress laughed and smiled throughout the shoot.
It's a good thing that she was clad in layers of chic knitwear, as one shot also had Judy Ann reclining on the grass in an idyllic pose.
Asked about her favorite piece from the bohemian rock-themed shoot, which featured trendy label Mango's F/W 2009 collection, Judy Ann replied that she was partial to the plaid and checkered pieces, although she wouldn't mind bringing the fur vest and dresses when she travels abroad.
Preview Magazine October 2009 issue is now available at all magazine stands nationwide.

Michael Buble has just presented the official music video for his single "Haven’t Met You Yet" which features her current girlfriend, model Luisana Lopilato.
Buble told ET Canada, "What’s weird is that the song is inspired by [my girlfriend] and she’s a great actor. She’s way more famous than I’ll ever be outside of South America, Latin America. So it wasn’t just that I wanted my girlfriend. It was that she’s perfect for this. She’s got the right energy and I knew that she could put it across. It was great."
Michael’s new album Crazy Love will be available in all record bars worldwide on October 9.
Watch the video below, which was shot inside the grocery store Killarney Market located in East Vancouver.

And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility
Mmmmm ......
And Somehow I Know That It Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Get So Much More Than I Get

According to Ronald Esguerra, AYC's Marketing and Communications Director, "We are currently working on foreign and local artists to join the cause. We feel that through the universal language of music, we will be able to unite and move everyone to help out." The fundraiser's net proceeds will be awarded to an agency that has actively and efficiently been deploying donations and aid to the typhoon victims. Name of agency is yet to be announced at a later date.
The concert would also be an avenue for people to drop off their donations as it houses booths specifically intended for these. Donations in kind like food, water, clothes, blankets and medicines are welcome. Everyone is encourage to bring at least one item to donate which will be deployed to victims of the tropical storm Ondoy.

Euro-Filipina Sylvia Ratonel, who works as a secretary in Singapore, joined Singapore Idol on its third season and is currently enjoying her place in the show's Top 12 roster of other talented singing hopefuls.
In the first weekly performance, where the Top 13 had to sing chart toppers, Sylvia performed Alicia Keys's "Fallin' (watch her performs below).
Because of her impressive performance, Sylvia survived the first elimination.
In the Top 12 performance, the contestants had to sing songs from the year they were born. Sylvia chose to sing Guns 'N Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine" (watch below).
The 21-year-old's version of the song did not exactly impress the Singapore Idol judges (Ken Lim, Florence Liam, and Dick Dee), but they unanimously commented that Sylvia's energetic nature would get her further in the competition. That said, voting came into place and thankfully, Sylvia's version did not have her end up in the bottom three.

Two Pinoy independent (indie) films emerged victorious in the just concluded Bangkok International Film Festival 2009.
The black-and-white film Independencia bagged two prizes while Imburnal was given a Special Mention in the filmfest that took place in Thailand from September 24-30.
Independencia was the Grand Prize winner in the Southeast Asian Category and the recipient of the NETPAC (Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema) Jury Prize Award. The period film set during the American colonization of the Philippines stars Sid Lucero, Tetchie Agbayani, and Alessandra de Rossi.
The jury awarded Independencia the Grand Prize in the Southeast Asian category "for its strong cinematic expression. The film is visually adventurous with humor, expressing historical aspects while also very friendly to the audience."
The NETPAC Award was given to Independencia "for its cinematic creation exploring the history of the Philippines and the history of Philippine Cinema within the limited space and with a few characters."
Meanwhile, the 2008 Cinema One entry Imburnal (which shared the award with Malaysian James Lee's Call If You Need Me) was given a Special Mention honor "for putting together a very risky concept with complicated sociopolitical background, and for the director's courage and bravery."
Another Filipino indie film, Aurora, also competed in this year's edition of the Bangkok IFF.
The jury of the Southeast Asian Category was composed of Vincenzo Bugno, Royston Tan, and Tul Waitoonkiat.
Brillante Mendoza served as a jury member in the main competition of the Bangkok IFF and his obra Kinatay was screened in the non-competition section.
The Piolo Pascual-starrer Manila was also be screened in the Southeast Asian Panorama section. It was recently announced that the film, co-directed by Adolf and Raya, would compete in a separate film festival that will take place in Warsaw, Poland.
