The Diehard Fans (DF) of two popular Love Teams (LT1) and (LT2) have tried much to be civil to each other not wanting to sow intrigues between their respective teams. But at times, the fans lose control, especially when their idol’s interest is at stake – thus their resolve to be peaceful is challenged.
Reportedly, things started heating up when comparisons were made between LT1 and LT2. Everything would have been pretty normal, but it went to the extremes when even the profiles of each teams’ DF came into the picture. It was never the same since.
The latest incident happened at the show of LT2’s Girl (G2). Some DF of LT1’s Girl (G1) were reportedly caught throwing coins at G2. It

was by far the most despicable thing G1’s DF has ever done to their idol’s rival. Aghast, G2 allegedly reacted strongly and reported the incident to Her Manager (HM), who in turn immediately brought the matter to network Management Head (MH).

Major problem
Competitive Protector (CP) is reportedly stressed out over the much Awaited Event (AE) of Her Ward (HW). CP wants AE’s to be the biggest of all and would stop at nothing to make it grandiose.
Unfortunately, things don’t seem to go her way. Talks have it that CP went to the office of a Network Executive (NE) to give HW a TV special. The request was allegedly denied with NE saying it would be too expensive to mount at that point. Apparently, CP wanted AE televised much like how it was with another star’s. Indeed, how can she show off to the world her ward’s fabulous AE if it will not be televised?

Filipino sister act MICA is back in the Philippines after competing in the Korean TV singing contest “Superstar K6.”
The Cercado sisters namely Mylene, Irene, Celina and Almira from Santiago City, Isabela made history by becoming the first Filipino act to be one of the Top 11 finalists on “Superstar K6.”
MICA told Bulletin Entertainment that they came back to the country to process their working visa for South Korea.
“Aayusin po namin working visa,” the sisters said shortly before boarding their flight to Manila at Incheon International Airport on Nov. 29.
Almira said they are planning to hold a fan meeting or mini-show for their fans and supporters in the Philippines.
The sisters spent three months in South Korea for “Superstar K6.”
Irene told Bulletin Entertainment they they will return to South Korea on Dec. 14 in preparation for their performance in the “Superstar K Top 11 Concert” to be held Dec. 24 and 25 at Yonsei University Auditorium in Seoul.
They will stay in South Korea to launch their career.
MICA has received offers from different Korean entertainment agencies including well-known K-pop companies to manage them. The sisters have not picked any agency.
Irene said to hone their Korean language skills, they will enroll in a formal class in a university in South Korea.
During their audition, the MICA sisters wowed the “Superstar K6” judges with their rendition of the Disney hit song “Let It Go,” used in the film “Frozen.”
While in the Philippines, Irene said they are also planning to visit the TV show “It’s Showtime,” where they won as grand champion in 2012. They also intend to pay a visit to the governor of their home province, Isabela.

Francis Xavier Pasion’s “Buwaya” bested eight other Asian entries in competition to win Best Film at the ongoing Tokyo Filmex Film Festival in Japan on Saturday.
Based on actual events in the marshlands of Agusan Del Sur, “Buwaya” tells the story of a grieving mother who is looking for the body of her missing daughter who was attacked by a crocodile.
The award came with a cash Prize of 700,000 yen (approximately P265,000).
In August, “Buwaya” also won four awards, including Best Film, at the Cinemalaya X festival’s New Breed section.
Coincidentally, two other filmmakers who were involved in Cinemalaya also won big at the Tokyo Filmex.
Giancarlo Abrahan, who directed “Dagitab” in that same Cinemalaya batch, also won big in Tokyo but for an upcoming project. Abrahan won Best Project at at the Talents Tokyo pitching competition sponsored by the Berlinale Talents.
“There are actually five Pinoys in Talents Tokyo. Francis Xavier and Hannah Espia also won funding from the Masters program,” indie producer Alemberg Ang, who is also in Tokyo attending the festival, told InterAksyon.
Established in 2000, Tokyo Filmex has been known to attract emerging filmmakers from Japan and neighboring Asian countries. Talents Tokyo, on the other hand, is a creative and networking platform for 15 up-and-coming filmmakers from East and Southeast Asia.
