Viewers are left guessing about the fate of Ivy Aguas (Maja Salvador) after she was buried alive by the Ardientes in the hit primetime series of ABS-CBN "Wildflower."
Ivy's horrifying ordeal came after she was made to confess about being the family's traitor by Emilia (Aiko Melendez) and Julio Ardiente (Tirso Cruz III) in a successful entrapment set-up. Emilia and Julio then wasted no time and proceeded to torturing Ivy, until Emilia decided to put her in a coffin and bury her alive.
Hours after leaving Ivy beneath the ground, Emilia even called her to ask her about her situation inside the coffin. Little did Emilia know that Jaguar (Wendell Ramos) had eavesdropped on their their conversation and immediately told Diego (Joseph Marco) about Ivy's situation.
Will Diego find and save Ivy before she draws her last breath? Will Ardientes have the last laugh?

He may be one of the most bullied local personalities on social media, but Marlou Arizala, on Sunday's episode of "Rated K" met with loud cheers in his post-plastic surgery reveal as Xander Ford.
Far from his previous look, Xander Ford, who appeared dashing in a grey suit, wore a lighter and clear skin, sharper nose, more defined jawline, and a fade haircut.
Asked why he decided to undergo facial surgery, Xander Ford said, “Binago ko lang sa pangalan, sa pagkatao, sa panlabas ko para mabago din ang tingin sa ‘kin ng ibang tao”.
When “Rated K” host Korina Sanchez asked him about his surgical experience, he said, “Masakit pero kaya kasi ito po talaga ang pangarap ko.”
And his message to his bullies? “‘Who you’ na sila ngayon.”
With his brand-new good looks, Xander Ford hopes to earn more showbiz projects to help his family, “Gusto ko pong bumalik sa pag-aartista and seryosohin yung trabaho para po makatulong talaga sa magulang ko.”
The “Rakrakan” concert series from 2006 to 2009. The groundbreaking “FilExpo” in 2008. The first “It’s Showtime” outside the Philippines in 2011. The thrilling “JadIne In Love” in Dubai in 2016. The milestone “ASAP in Dubai” in 2014. The record-breaking “Birit Queens in Abu Dhabi this year.
From concert series, trade fairs to franchised events, ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel (TFC) has been delivering the most epic Filipino events to the Middle East that bring together Filipinos to celebrate as one community and which have come to be the most anticipated in the region.
This year, as ABS-CBN Middle East celebrates its 10th anniversary, the network that delivers content beyond information and entertainment, brings it a notch higher as it paves the way for the biggest Filipino music experience to date — “One Music X” on November 3 at the Dubai Media City Amphitheater.
On November 3, TFC will come together with ABS-CBN’s hit-making recording company Star Music; the leading FM radio station My Only Radio (MOR) For Life; the first all-Filipino music channel Myx; and the Philippines’ foremost music portal One Music PH; to deliver the highpoints of Philippine culture and celebrate everything Filipino for a full day of “One Music X”.
ONE MUSIC
Known for the Filipino’s penchant for music, “One Music X” is gathering the biggest Original Pilipino Music (OPM) acts from the Philippines, representing a wide range of music genres that appeal across audiences and artists who have become icons in their own right.
From winning ABS-CBN’s reality singing competition “Pinoy Dream Academy” in 2006, Pop Rock Royalty Yeng Constantino has certainly come a long way. From her successful initial foray “Hawak Kamay” to a musical about her life story — “Josephine” — Constantino has truly become one of the young superstars to reckon with in the music industry.
Also a product of a reality singing competition and band performances, Soul Supreme KZ Tandingan has gone beyond the winning to prove that she deserves both a place to win and a niche in the music industry with her show-stopping performances.
Once behind the shadow of his very famous father, Teen Singing Sensation Iñigo Pascual is setting out to become a pop superstar in his own right. Today’s biggest hit “Para Sa Iyo” is his and he can very well claim it as his own success.
Meantime four-piece Pinoy Pop Rock band Silent Sanctuary, arguably best known for their hit “Pasensiya Ka Na” became known for their own brand of baroque pop. For their first show with TFC the band is expected to bring in the sighs as well as the cheers.
From being a significant part of a popular band in the 90s, OPM Rock Icon Rico Blanco went on to become a world of his own, earning critics and fans approval for his soulful songs such as “Your Universe”.
Together, Constantino, Tandingan, Pascual, Silent Sanctuary and Blanco will elevate the musical experience of “One Music X” where OPM truly belongs –– the world stage.
Joining the Philippines’ biggest acts is multi-awarded young host Robi Domingo and award-winning MOR DJ Chacha and surprise acts from the local Dubai music scene for a day that also promises cultural fusion and musical collaboration.
ONE EXPERIENCE
Promising to be the biggest Filipino experience, “One Music” X will deliver beyond music - uniquely Filipino booths and day-long activities to the Dubai Media City Amphitheater, a highly popular event place that have been host to the biggest local and international acts.
From the Global Tawag ng Tanghalan sa “It’s Showtime” region finals to outdoor family activities; food trucks; acoustic lounges featuring local talents and premium lounges for VIP ticket holders; food trucks; and more, “One Music X” promises to be the complete experience for every member of the family.
ONE COMMUNITY

Headlines of entertainment news in recent years attest to the breadth of the Filipino talent, especially in the field of music - from singing competitions in search of the best amateur performers to reality shows such as “America’s Got Talent”.
This wealth of talent continues to catch the attention of international icons including music producer David Foster who said in an interview with ABS-CBN: “I don’t know what’s in the water over there in the Philippines but there are a lot of great singers out there”.
This October, The Filipino Channel (TFC) will continue to prove the wealth of Filipino talent as the network brings multi-talented ABS-CBN stars Xian Lim and KZ Tandingan to join the Filipino community at the Philippine Festival 2017 - touted as the biggest Filipino event in Japan - on October 1, 2017 at the Hibiya Park Chuo Ku Event Square in Tokyo.
First organized by the Philippine Festival Organizing Committee (FPOC) in 2012 with support from the Philippine Embassy in Japan, the Philippine Festival is organized annually for Filipinos and foreign nationals specifically “to bring expatriate Filipinos together, and at the same time introduce Philippine cuisine, music, dance, and products to Japanese and international friends”, according to the official website of the festival.
During the TFC Hour of the Philippine Festival 2017 tagged also as the “most awaited Filipino event in Japan”, Lim and Tandingan will showcase the great Filipino talent as they share their singing as well as their other talents when they perform for their fellowmen (kababayans).
While Kapamilya Heartthrob Lim is more known as a young sensation from ABS-CBN has proven his charm in top-rating dramas such as the recently concluded “The Story Of Us” and has equally proven his acting skills in award-winning films such as “Everything About Her”.
Unknown to many, Lim is musically inclined and has a talent both in singing and in playing instruments like the piano and the trumpet. In fact, he has three recording albums already under his belt: “So It’s You”, “XL2” and “Key of X”. He is also known internationally as the voice behind the Philippine release of the movie “Paddington Bear”.
Meantime, Tandingan has become a sought-after performer since becoming the first “X Factor” Philippines winner because of her soulful song performances of her own hits such as “Wag Ka Nang Umiyak” at “Mahal Ko o Mahal Ako” and with her latest hit - her own rendition of the classic song “Two Less Lonely People” by the international duo Air Supply.
TFC first shared the breadth of the Filipino talent to the Philippine festival in 2013 when the network brought Kapamilya artists: TFC’s first Goodwill Ambassador Martin Nievera, together with the iconic series “Be Careful with My Heart’s” cast members Doris Carlos and Sabel Fortuna to personally meet, and bring entertainment to the Filipino community in Japan.
The next year, 2014, TFC brought the Big Band Crooner Richard Poon who serenaded the ladies during the event.
This year, its Lim and Tandingan’s turn to continue the commitment from TFC through a showcase of unique Filipino performances.
In addition to the songs and acoustics, TFC will also open its booth to give the festival-goers chances to win photo opportunities with Lim and Tandingan, and take home limited edition TFC merchandise.
Aside from the performances from the Kapamilya artists, the organizers have geared up for the annual parade representing the different popular festivals in the Philippines. The performers’ colorful costumes and lively dances are two of the highlights which the Filipino community in Japan look forward to as they help bring back memories of celebrations from home.
During the event, festival-goers also get to enjoy their favorite Filipino delicacies being sold at the different booths around the venue.
TFC and the Philippine Festival invite the Filipino community to reminisce the Filipino festivals and the locals to join the celebration at the Philippine Festival 2017 on September 30 and October 1, with the TFC Hour happening on October 1 at the Hibiya Park Chuo Ku Event Square in Tokyo.

He lives with his mother Mary Jane (Dimples Romana), who works hard for their everyday living. Bringing him constant joy is his friend Tori (Andrea), the girl he has feelings for.
One day, his school announces that it will hold a basketball clinic, with Louie’s idol PBA player Ralph Lorenzo (Aljur Abrenica) serving as coach. However, having no money and a pair of shoes to play in, he fails to join the event and gets bullied by his classmates.
Frustrated by the rejection, he then comes to the shoe repairman Mang Dolino (Jojit Lorenzo) to get his shoes fixed. The repairman hears Louie’s desire to live another person’s life and then reveals himself as a fairy god leather. To help the boy with his wish, he gives Louie a magical shoe shiner, which will only work once he wipes it on the shoes of the person he wants to exchange life with.
Dreaming to live the life of his idol, Louie wipes the shoe shiner on Ralph’s shoes and successfully gains control of his life. However, he abuses the power of the shoe shiner and uses Ralph’s body to get even with his classmates, which leads to a grave punishment that will change his own life.

Cardo (Coco Martin) is definitely the country’s most loved “probinsyano.” For over two years now, we have welcomed him into our homes every night and joined him in his heart-pounding adventures as he battles crimes and saves lives as a tough police officer.
Dedicated to his job, Cardo surely has done it all — from going on life-threatening assignments and disguising as the alluring lady Paloma.
He may not have magic spells nor superpowers, but he is what you may call a modern-day hero. Here’s why:
He fights to preserve peace and order
Willing to risk his life to protect others, Cardo has saved thousands of people who fell victim to notorious gangs and has raided the country’s biggest crime syndicates. But his quest does not only involve life-threatening battles; he also leads in maintaining peace and order in their community and is always just a call away when their neighborhood needs help.
Now, his dedication to preserve peace still lives on as he went undercover to join Pulang Araw to reveal the truth behind all the terrorist attacks and chaos happening in the city, which are all orchestrated by director Renato Hipolito (John Arcilla), who aspires to be a senator.
He fights for the oppressed
Having grown up without his family, Cardo sure knows how hard life can be, which explains his desire to serve the people, especially those who do not have the capacity to fight for their rights. He has helped victims of crimes such as prostitution, child trafficking, and corruption to stand up and expose syndicate masterminds, putting an end to their evil ploys.
Even now that he is with Pulang Araw, Cardo continues to be the warrior for the oppressed after he recently fought for the rights of the Mt. Karagao farmers, whose lands were being claimed by the illegal quarry owners Javier (Jestoni Alarcon) and Miguel Enriquez (Aljur Abrenica). Along with the rebel group, Cardo responded to the farmers’ plea and ended the Enriquez’s tormenting schemes.
He champions Filipino family values
As Filipinos, it is ingrained in our culture to give importance to filial relationships, which is evident in Cardo’s family.
A family man, Cardo always puts the welfare of his family first and makes sure they are intact, especially during trying times. They are also a great reflection of a warm Pinoy household that welcomes and cares for people who are not related to them by blood but treats them as their own, such as Onyok and Makmak. Their family also got bigger after Cardo married Alyana (Yassi Pressman) and welcomed his partner in crime Paco (Long Mejia) and kids Ligaya, Dang, and Paquito.
He is a model citizen
Just like everybody else, Cardo wants change to happen in our society. As a police officer, he is able to influence the people around him by setting as an example of what a good citizen should be. He also uses his authority to stop abusive people, like Renato Hipolito and even his then arch nemesis Joaquin Tuazon (Arjo Atayde), from taking advantage of their positions to manipulate innocent people. This makes his character not only admirable to viewers, but also to real life cops, earning the nods of the Department of the Interior and Local Government secretary Mike Sueno and Philippine National Police chief Ronald Dela Rosa.
He is a reflection of an everyday Filipino
He may now be living in the city, but Cardo remains a certified “probinsyano,” living a simple life and working hard to give his family a good life. Hardships may come his way, but his faith and resilience helps him fight against life’s biggest struggles. Despite having achieved milestones in his career, he remains humble and thankful for the blessings he receives.
With the traits he exemplifies, Cardo sums up what an every ordinary Filipino is and what we should continue to aspire to be.

Kapamilya actor and Star Magic artist Zanjoe Marudo is the only Asian artist nominated in the Best Performance by an Actor category in the 45th International Emmy Awards.
The model turned actor is competing against actors Julio Andrade (Brazil), Kenneth Branagh (United Kingdom), and Kad Merad (France) in the category.
“This recognition from the iEmmys is a personal milestone for me as an actor and as a Filipino. This is a dream come true. I thank the jurors, the show “MMK,” ABS-CBN and Star Magic,” said Zanjoe.
Zanjoe is nominated for his exceptional portrayal of a father with paranoid schizophrenia in the “Anino” episode of ABS-CBN’s weekend drama anthology “MMK” (“Remembering”). This real life story, brought to life by Zanjoe, is among the many unique stories that have given Filipino viewers inspiration, hope, and life lessons in the 25 years that “MMK” has been on air.
Dubbed as the longest drama anthology in Asia, “MMK” is hosted by actress and ABS-CBN’s chief content officer Charo Santos-Concio, who was also a former gala chair for the International Emmy Awards back in 2015.
Zanjoe is among the 44 nominees across 11 categories and 18 countries in this year’s awards.
Last year, fellow Star Magic artist Jodi Sta. Maria also got an international Emmy nomination in the Best Performance by an Actress category for her portrayal as Amor Powers in the hit drama “Pangako Sa’Yo.” Primetime series “Bridges of Love,” meanwhile, was nominated in the Best Telenovela category.
ABS-CBN previously scored International Emmy® Awards nominations for “Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Impostor” (Best Telenovela) in 2011, “Dahil May Isang Ikaw” (Best Telenovela) and Sid Lucero in “Dahil May Isang Ikaw” (Best Actor) in 2010, and “Kahit Isang Saglit” (Best Telenovela) and Angel Locsin in “Lobo” (Best Actress) in 2009.
This year’s winners will be announced at a black-tie ceremony to be held November 20 at the Hilton New York Hotel. The International Emmy® Awards are given by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

Multi-awarded host Boy Abunda pens a new book to inspire readers with his nuggets of wisdom, quotes and life-affirming essays in “It’s Like This: 100+ Abundable Thoughts that will make you think and rethink what you’ve always thought about your life” by ABS-CBN Publishing.
The new manual highlights important lessons from Asia’s King of Talk as he shares his life filled with love and abundance, while recalling friends, experiences and changes that brought him to where he is now.
“It’s Like This” covers some of the author’s unforgettable encounters as a young boy raised in Borongan, Eastern Samar, as a student inside the seminary, as a probinsyano who went to study at Ateneo, and as a fledging actor in theater.
The “Tonight With Boy Abunda” host also shared bits of insights on how he faced heartbreaking moments in his life, such as the death of his father. He wrote, “when Tatay died, I was forced to live.”
Boy’s latest offering will not be complete without disclosing inspiration he got from his mother who he calls “the center of my universe.”
The book likewise includes his story on how he finally got an offer to be on television and the learnings he discovered as a talent manager. He penned, “when a star becomes the boss, what does the talent manager do? The dynamics between talent and celebrity changes. New rules are invented.”
Some of the lessons readers will pick up from the book are:
· Laugh and live with your successes and failures, knowing that all are fleeting. · Everything and everyone has a dark side, embrace it. · Gay love is equal to all forms of human love. · Love your mother, return phone calls, fight only when you need to, read books and the best spa is at the feet of God. · Always play for the crowd, and remember that they won’t always be there.
“It’s Like This: 100+ Abundable Thoughts that will make you think and rethink what you’ve always thought about your life” is now available in National Book Store and Powerbooks for only P275.

Noven shared his elation on the latest break that came his way. He said, “I’m overwhelmed that from the many people who dreamed, I was given this opportunity to have my own album. I am very thankful for all the blessings.”

His carrier single, “Tumahan Ka Na” composed by Vehnee, has dominated the MOR 101.9 charts for ten weeks now, peaking at number one.

The TFC Unity Cup, a two-in-one event, is a fundraising drive to enable Bantay Bata to rehabilitate the Children’s Village in Norzagaray, Bulacan in the Philippines, which has been inoperable for a while due to lack of resources.

Who is the real intruder when it comes to love – the one who said “I do” or the one who got away?
ABS-CBN, the first and true home of Asianovelas, heats up afternoon viewing as it tells the tale of two women who will fight for a man who loves both of them at different circumstances in “My Dearest Intruder,” premiering this Monday (September 25).
High school best friends Sharlene (Aggie Hsieh) and Ria (Amber An) are so close that nothing can ever come between their friendship. That is until they fall for the same man – Ria’s childhood friend, Ivan (Melvin Sia).
Ria has been madly in love with Ivan ever since she can remember, but he however, has his eyes set on Sharlene. To protect their friendship, Sharlene decides to leave and gives way to Ria.
This breaks Ivan’s heart, but Ria stands by his side and helps him mend it. Eventually, the two get married and start a life together.
After ten years, their paths once again intertwine. This time, Sharlene is ready to fight for Ivan and wants to reclaim what she thinks truly belongs to her.
Will Sharlene be able to win Ivan back? Does Ivan still has feelings for Sharlene? How will Ria protect her marriage with Ivan?
Birit Queen Klarisse de Guzman adds color to the story of Sharlene, Ria, and Ivan as she sings “Wala Na Talaga,” the official themesong of the show.
Don’t miss the premiere of “My Dearest Intruder” after “The Promise of Forever” only on the first and true home of Asianovelas, ABS-CBN Kapamilya Gold.
ABS-CBN, the Philippines leading media and entertainment company, showcased its biggest and top rating fantasy-action drama for 2017, "La Luna Sangre," in a special screening before delegates of the second ASEAN-Japan Television Festival held recently in Manila, Philippines.
"La Luna Sangre" is one of the most watched and most talked about programs in the Philippines today. The story revolves around the journey of protagonists Malia and Tristan, whose lives intertwine because of a prophecy made under the bloodmoon.
ABS-CBN also exhibited "La Luna Sangre" alongside the network’s other top dramas "Lost Hearts" and "Wildflower" and box office hit movies such as "Finally Found Someone" and "Love You to the Stars and Back” to content buyers in a special ASEAN-Japan market.
The company, represented by business unit head and TV and film director Ruel Bayani, also joined a one-day workshop on content and production that gave a market overview on ASEAN countries and Japan, and discussed new trends in program development and co-productions, new media platforms, and challenges involving cross-border policies.
As part of the delegates' final itinerary in the TV fest that ran from September 6 to 9, ABS-CBN welcomed them to its broadcast center and studios where they visited the set of ABS-CBN's hit noontime show "It's Showtime" and kiddie gag show "Goin Bulilit," met the shows' producers, and had a quick meet and greet session with breakout reality TV teen stars Kisses Delavin, Marco Gallo, Edward Barber, and Maymay Entrata.
