Fil-Aussie Cyrus Villanueva enters X Factor Australia Grand Finals

MANILA, Philippines - Filipino-Australian Cyrus Villanueva entered the grand finals of the hit singing reality competition 'The X Factor Australia' as revealed on Tuesday, November 17.

Screengrab from Youtube

The 19-year-old Villanueva is one of the three finalists along with singing duo Jess and Matt and former band vocalist Louise Adams. They survived the semi-finals decider round where Big T got eliminated.

"I had the best time tonight, and feel so blessed for everyone's response! THANKYOU all," Villanueva shared on Twitter.

On Monday, Villanueva wowed the judges and viewers as he performed Ed Sheeran's "Don't" and Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" for the 'killer tracks and curveballs' theme this week.



“Every time someone wins the show they think back to that certain performance that was the nail. I think that was the nail. If you win the show people will remember that,” judge Guy Sebastian told him.

“This week we saw you singing on top of a box. I reckon you've got a high chance, in two weeks, that they're going to stick you in the box and sell you,” James Blunt said.

If he will win this year's X Factor in Australia, it will be a back-to-back celebration for Pinoys as the teen singer Marlisa Punzalan won the title last year.

The grand finals of X Factor Australia Season 7 is set on November 23 and 24, 2015 (Monday and Tuesday). Celebrity performers include Kylie Minogue and Dannii Minogue ("100 Degrees"), Jason Derulo, Rudimental and James Blunt.

Do you think Cyrus Villanueva will be the next grand champion of X Factor?

ABS-CBN's 'Dance Kids' premiere soars high in national TV ratings

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN's newest talent show “Dance Kids” premiered on high note as viewers nationwide watched the first batch of dance artists who took the stage and tried to impress the program’s Dance Masters Georcelle Dapat-Sy, Andy Alviz, and Vhong Navarro.

Based on data from Kantar Media, Philippine TV’s first-ever dance competition for kids hit a national TV rating of 32.4% last Saturday (Nov 14) versus GMA’s “Pepito Manaloto” that only got 24.7%. “Dance Kids” also won in the ratings game last Sunday (Nov 15) when it recorded a national TV rating of 28.4%, or ten points higher than GMA’s “24 Oras Weekend” (17.6%).

The first episodes saw the passion and brilliance of the dance artists who went through the try outs, the first stage of the competition where they were screened by the Dance Masters.

Making it to the next level of competition were trio Higher Level Kids, dance sport duo Step Kids, Tahitian group Aloha Girls, young heartthrobs Maximum Groovers, taekwondo duo Richlie and Daniel, and solo dance artists Matt and Joren, who were all given a unanimous decision or three “stomps” by the Dance Masters.


Teacher Georcelle, Sir Andy, and Vhong, meanwhile, opened the program last Saturday by showing off their signature moves in an opening number that gave tribute to Filipino street games.

“Dance Kids” airs every Saturday, 6:15PM, and every Sunday, 6PM.

CSC accepts applications for April 17, 2016 Civil Service Exam (CSE-PPT)

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) officially announced the conduct of Civil Service Exam - Paper-and-Pencil Test (CSE-PPT) on April 17, 2016. CSC accepts applications starting Monday, November 9, 2015 and will end on February 25, 2016 (deadline of filing).

April 2016 nationwide conduct of Career Service Examination is for both Professional and Sub-Professional Levels.

(RELATED: CSC announces Civil Service Exam schedule in 2016)

In May 2015 exams, more than 180,000 took the Career Service Examination Paper-and-Pencil Test. Passing the CSE is one of the basic requirements in applying for a position in government. The CSE ensures that only competent and credible workers enter the public service.

CSC reminds that acceptance of applications shall be on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED basis and, thus, shall be closed any time before deadline once the CSC Regional/Field Office has reached the target number of applicants.

According to CSC, there will be at least 57 testing centers nationwide for April 17, 2016 Civil Service Exam (CSE-PPT).

Qualification/Admission Requirements

All applicants must strictly meet the following qualification requirements:

• Filipino citizen;
• At least 18 years old on the date of filing of application;

a) Approval of applications may be recalled any time upon discovery of applicant’s disqualification, for which the examination fees paid shall be forfeited.

b) Applicants holding dual citizenship under R.A. 9225 (Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 2003) may apply for and take the examination upon presentation of original, and submission of a copy of, Certification of Retention/Re-acquisition of Philippine Citizenship from the Bureau of Immigration, and meeting of all the other admission and application requirements for the examination.

d) Passers of the regular Bar examination given by the Supreme Court of the Philippines and of Board examinations given by the Professional Regulation Commission are automatically granted a civil service eligibility pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 1080.

Alma Moreno bashed with no ‘reservations’ after interview with Karen Davila

The almost 24-minute interview that transpired between the two ladies last week (November 11) became the talk of the town and the Twitterverse. Moreno was grilled to the max by Davila on various social issues in which the actress gave her remarkable gibberish answers which set the Filipino viewers on fire particularly at the 09:44 part.

WATCH: Here is the video of Karen Davila’s interview in which Alma Moreno struggled for 23 minutes. (video courtesy of ABS-CBN News)

Same-sex marriage, a sin according to Moreno

“Yes. Sa akin, ha, yung magpapakasal (same-sex). Pero yung mag-ano (to have sex), okay lang. Pero yung magpapakasal, parang hindi ko…” in which some netizens reacted and became confused with her contradicting statements.

In Alma Moreno's 9 years of experience, para siyang elementary kung makatawa about same-sex marriage and the LGBT community.

— Daday (@kawaiideathsu) November 16, 2015

Alma Moreno said she's against discrimination.. but she's against same-sex marriage. Uhmm "what do you mean?" 🤔🤔

On Moreno’s her advocacy if elected to the senate

When Davila asked Moreno on what will be her advocacy once she ascends to one of the thrones in the senate the actress replied ‘Ah, more on sa kababaihan (women)’ in which Davila tried to dig more by asking ‘Like what?’ in which Moreno started scrambling for the loss of thoughts on the issue.

To which Davila remarked, "But then the law exists already." Moreno then said,"Pero may mga bagay na di na-implement (There are things that have not been implemented)." Davila again asked, "Like what?" Moreno, at this point, laughed nervously and said, "Teka muna (Wait a second)" followed by a clearly nervous laugh.

ang pangit ng umaga ko dhil dun sa interview video dun kay Alma Moreno. Tatakbo tas hindi alam yung advocacy na ipapaimplement, aba ayos 🖕🏻

— ralph renzo (@ralphaustria29) November 16, 2015

And come to the most epic part of that interview was when Davila started pressing Moreno on her stand on RH Bill in which the latter revealed herself to be clearly clueless on the issue with her more confusing replies.

‘Kailangan pa bang sagutin?’ (regarding with her stand on RH Bill) then Davila counters with ‘Of course. You are running for the Senate.’

The ending? Moreno joyfully responds with ‘Kailangan lang daw lagi bukas ang ilaw’

Alma Moreno supports RH Law but has reservations. She doesn't know what reservations mean.

— Mike Leyson (@magismikeleyson) November 15, 2015

Due to her unexpected poor performance on her interview with Davila, Moreno further earn more comments from netizens as they started making fun of her comical statements.

Is Alma Moreno a nuisance candidate?

— tin w/ reservations (@fadedreceipts) November 16, 2015

Pag nag-guest si Alma Moreno sa Tonight with Boy Abunda tapos tinanong sa fast talk ng "lights off or lights on" alam niyo na yung sagot 😂😂😂

— rocent (@rocentweets) November 16, 2015

"Alma Moreno walks in to a restaurant... Receptionist: Do you have a reservation Ma'am? Alma: Ayoko na, please tama na!" HAHAHA. Pls. 😂

— Gelo (@gaxmercado) November 16, 2015

Alma Moreno on WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire: Q: Are you for the RH Bill A.Yes B.Yes with reservations C.Kailangan pa bang sagutin yan D.Pills

— Aldren (@aldrincredible) November 16, 2015

While many were disgusted with Moreno’s answers, some were on the opposite side saying that Davila should have been more tolerant and played nicer to her guest, telling that her aggressiveness was uncalled for during the interview.

What are your thoughts on Karen Davila’s interview with Alma Moreno?
