Fun and bedlam reigns in the kingdom of the “Kusina Kings”

TFC at the Movies kicks off the month of August with a buffet of comedic proportions in “Kusina Kings” (Kitchen Kings) which starts screening August 2 in Brunei and Papua New Guinea, August 3 in Saipan, the U.S. and Canada, and August 9 in the Middle East.

"Kusina Kings" tells the story of forever best friends Ronnie (Zanjoe Marudo) and Benjie (Empoy Marquez), who have been buddies through good times and bad. Benjie is the chef-entrepreneur, while Ronnie is a klutz in the kitchen. As their restaurant struggles to take-off, Benjie takes on the Kusina Kings Challenge where they will be competing with rival contender Gian Nyeam (Ryan Bang).

A pinch of culinary blunders, a dash of bizarre occurrences, a sprinkle of naughty humor, and a generous serving of comedic genius make a recipe for a sidesplitting, gratifying movie. This comedic masterpiece is helmed by Victor Villanueva who directed the critically-acclaimed indie film ‘Patay na si Hesus’ (Jesus is Dead).

Love takes on all forms on GMA Network’s newest primetimes series ‘Onanay’

Beginning August 6, love takes on all forms as GMA Network debuts its newest heart-warming primetime series, Onanay.

Onanay tells the unique story of Onay, a woman born with Achondroplasia or a bone growth disorder which impeded her growth. Because of this, she is often the subject of ridicule but she chooses to remain positive in life. She gave birth to two beautiful daughters—Maila and Natalie—who cannot be more different from one another. Despite a tragedy and traumatizing events, Onay’s motherly love remains pure and unconditional, the way every mother is to her child.

Zanjoe at Empoy Handa Na Maging Kusina Kings

Pareho na magaling sa comedy ang mga aktor na sina Zanjoe at Empoy kahit sila ay polar opposites. Ang matipunong housemate na napatunayan ang kanyang pagiging magaling na artista sa comedy o drama ay sasabak uli para magpatawa. Si Empoy naman ay fresh pa mula sa success ng kanyang pelikula na “Kita Kita” at sa primetime na teleserye na “Since I Found You.”

Dahil dito, isang kakaibang tambalan ang ginawa ng Star Cinema para sa pelikula nilang KUSINA KINGS. Mula sa title pa lang ay malaki na ang kinalaman ng pagkain sa storya kung saan sila ay sasabak sa isang competition para sa ikaka salba ng kanilang restaurant.

Breaking The Sound Barrier With SIndikato

Before the Internet, musicians were experienced live or seen on MTV. These days, if an artist has no online presence, they might as well be invisible. Thankfully, SINDIKATO is no stranger to all these platforms. With years of video production experience that cross over generations, SINDIKATO has trained its eye for great talent. Now, they welcome a growing roster of artists.

SINDIKATO started in 2006 with a group of college buddies who shared a passion for video production. From creating short films and original content, they ventured into music videos for various local artists. Even as they gained traction with brand advertising projects, SINDIKATO continued to work with musicians.
