My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore : Highest Opening Day Grosser

Metro Manila Film Festival entry, "My Bebe Love" has recorded a whopping PHP 60.46 million (approx. USD 1.28 million) earnings on its opening day.

The movie, starring Vic Sotto, Ai-Ai delas Alas, as well as the popular tandem AlDub, Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, broke previous record held by the 2014 MMFF entry, Vice Ganda's "The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin", which opened at PHP 53 million (USD 1.12 million), according to GMA News.

From Metro Manila alone, over PHP 33 million was accumulated, while another 27 million were from different provinces.




Although the movie marks the reunion between delas Alas and Sotto, who worked previously together in the movie, "Ang Enteng Ng Ina Mo", many believed that the record-breaking earning was thanks to the popularity of its younger stars, Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza.

According to the famous Wiki, My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore, produced by Octo Arts Films, M - Zet Productions, APT Entertainment, GMA Films, and Ai-Ai's MEDA Productions, is a 2015 Filipino romantic comedy film directed by Jose Javier Reyes starring Ai-Ai de las Alas and Vic Sotto with Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza. This film is an official entry to the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival.

My Bebe Love is the reunion film of Ai-Ai delas Alas and Vic Sotto after their film Enteng ng Ina Mo, which was also Metro Manila Film Festival entry in 2011, aside from being the first film of the love team of Richards and Mendoza (collectively known as AlDub). This is also the first film of delas Alas under her own film production MEDA Productions. This film was released in the Philippines and was internationally screened in selected cinemas in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the United States, Melbourne and Sydney in Australia, and Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

This film holds the record for highest opening day gross for all Filipino films with ₱60.4 million.

Dondi (Alden Richards) is an obedient nephew to his aunt Cora (Ai-Ai de las Alas) who makes decisions for him. Meanwhile, Anna (Maine Mendoza) is a stubborn and rebellious girl who seeks the attention of her father Vito (Vic Sotto). Dondi and Anna cross path and their different personalities collide. They eventually fall in love with each other and solve their own problems? Vito and Cora are bitter business competitors and because of their rivalry, they disapproved the romantic relationship between Dondi and Anna.

ClicktheCity.com, an online entertainment site, gave the film one and a half stars out of five, stating that "the film strings together its stars’ endorsements and roughly molds them into the shape of a movie, narrative playing second fiddle to the impulse to promote brands."

Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) praised the chemistry between Mendoza and Richards stating that "Alden and Maine, on the other hand, act like the more mature pair. They temper those kilig moments with more getting-to-know-you scenes that can put their elders’ wham-bham way of dating to shame." PEP further highlighted improvements in Mendoza's acting as "she acquits herself well for a newbie in the movies. Maine's eyes reflect a whole range of emotions: joy, disappointment, shock, irritation, etc."

Cheerio!

The Most Expensive Philippine Coin Ever Sold

I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste

The Great Badjang or Giant Taro

As we try to come up with things to do to make our days productive this Pandemic, a lot of people are leaning towards Gardening. Here in the Philippines, people are becoming crazy with a certain plant. It has large leaves which resembles an Elephant’s ear. Badjang, as we call it here in the Philippines, scientifically called Alocasia macrorrhizos, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family that it is native to rainforests of Island Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland and has long been cultivated here in the Philippines, many Pacific islands, and elsewhere in the tropics. It is also famous as Giant Taro. The giant taro was originally domesticated in the Philippines, but are known from wild specimens to early Austronesians in Taiwan. From the Philippines, they spread outwards to the rest of Island Southeast Asia and eastward to Oceania where it became one of the staple crops of Pacific Islanders. They are one of the four main species of aroids (taros) cultivated by Austron

Hanamichi Sakuragi: In Real Life

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan.
