TV5’s ‘Jasmine’ Goes Beyond Television

The highly-anticipated TV5 series, ‘Jasmine’, is ready to give audiences an exciting new way to enjoy TV. It premieres on Sunday, June 1, at 9:15PM.

Breaking away from the traditional romance/drama genre, ‘Jasmine’ is a show full of mystery and suspense that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. It stars Jasmine Curtis Smith, who plays a fictional version of herself: an indie actress who is on the verge of becoming a mainstream celebrity. She faces the usual challenges in the show biz industry: failed relationships, rivalries, the pressure to win awards, and unsuccessful auditions. Amidst all this, Jasmine begins to receive mysterious messages from Maskara, an obsessed fan who is willing to do anything to make her happy—even if it means hurting everyone around her.

A creation of award-winning advertising agency Ace Saatchi & Saatchi, in partnership with Unitel and TV5, ‘Jasmine’ brings the story to life 24/7 by also making its characters exist online—and in person.

Abby Asistio helps raise awareness on Alopecia Areata

Since she was four years old, singer, songwriter and TV host Abby Asistio has been suffering from alopecia areata, an auto-immune skin disease resulting in partial or complete loss of hair on the scalp and the rest of the body.

“I went through a lot of tough periods in my life. Growing up, I accepted the fact that I could never meet that standards set by the world when it comes to beauty. If I were to even fit in and be considered normal, I must resort to hiding under hats, bandanas and my ever reliable wigs,” said Abby.

Abby lived through the entire process of experiencing hair fall: losing it little by little, and then deciding to shave it all completely. She even tried other hair loss remedies when she lived in the US for several years, including chemical-based products that have resulted in negative side effects. 

JC Regino Releases Debut EP

From watching his dad, April Boy Regino, do sold-out shows and huge concerts, it’s now his turn to show that “like father, like son” is true in all aspects. JC Regino has finally taking things on his own with a new self-titled EP.

It wasn’t his plan to become an artist even if the music genes was apparently passed on to him – tinkering with the guitar, piano, and the drums growing up. He was his father’s biggest fan; seeing crowds singing along, hearing massive radio airplay, plus TV and movie appearances. Seeing his father living the dream, JC tried to write his first song at 14 and asked his hitmaker father for some pointers. “Hindi nya nagustuhan,” quips the 23-year old singer-songwriter. That first attempt made the more determined JC to impress his greatest critic and finished “Hanggang Sa Dulo Ng Aking Buhay” and “Di Na Ako Iibig Pang Muli” both included in their father-son album, “Idolstar” in 2010. That was also JC’s first foray into the music scene and got more fascinated with the ins and outs of the industry.
