MESSAGE FROM THE BOSS
WHEN PEOPLE SAY MR. PURE ENERGY,
they could only be referring to one person ---- Gary V. It’s a bit ironic that he would he would be known as “Mr. Pure Energy” because Gary is actually a type 1 diabetic. Being diagnosed at the early age of 14 years old, his body does not produce insulin which is necessary to convert the food he eats to energy which is needed to function properly on a daily basis. If it wasn’t for the daily doses of insulin injected into his body, Gary V. would not have the energy to be who he is. Nevertheless, the disease does not stop him from performing the same way as he first started his career in the early 1980’s. If fact, you can’t even tell that he has a chronic disease by the way he performs on and off stage. It just shows how disciplined and dedicated Gary V. is to his craft. A role model to many, he also dedicates his time to several diabetic foundations and was the very first national UNICEF ambassador for Goodwill for the Philippines. Introducing, one of the true icons in Philippine entertainment the one, the only, Mr. Gary Valenciano.

PRESS RELEASE
Get set for an action-packed month of March as robots and wizards take centre stage with premiering anime TV series Little Battler Experience and Rental Magica coming to Animax!
Move aside, ‘Transformers’ and ‘Gundam’, it’s no longer cool to be enormous. Instead make way for the little robots of Little Battler Experience! In this exciting sci-fi and ‘mecha’ (robot themed) series set in the year 2050, children build, customize and play with miniature Little Battler eXperience (LBX) robots in battles. Our young hero, 13-year-old Yamano Ban, hopes to become an LBX fighter like his friends, but is forbidden to own one as his father was taken from them in an accident relating to LBX years ago. One day, Ban receives a suitcase from a mysterious woman who tells him that the ‘hopes and fears of humanity lie within’. And when Ban opens it, he finds a strange new LBX. Unbeknownst to him, he holds in his hands the ultimate LBX <AX-00> model robot. Soon he is attacked by organizations who covet this LBX. Now, Ban and his friends, each with their own unique robots, are dragged into a global conspiracy among corporations that extends all the way up to the highest positions of political power, and robot battles become deadly serious… Also known as ‘Danball Senki’ in Japan, series Little Battler Experience is based on an exciting franchise that spans video games, toys and manga (comics) that will keep you coming back for more. And if this war of miniature robots isn’t already engrossing, then delve into the fantasy and supernatural themed, action adventure anime series that is Rental Magica. In a realm where wizard dispatch companies vie for work, prestige and power, the series depict the battles among specialists wielding Eastern and Western magic disciplines including Celtic, Rune and King Solomon’s magic, Shinto, Onmyodo, Vajrayana, Poltergeist abilities, Alchemy, Necromancy, Taoism, Exorcism, and Demonic Eye or ‘Glam Sight’. Destroying supernatural monsters and dispelling magic are all in a day’s work for wizards. At wizard dispatch company Astral, its president mysteriously disappears, and it is left to his son and protagonist, Itsuki Iba, to begrudgingly fill in as its chief. Itsuki will have to lead Astral’s wizards to battle evil spirits and creatures, rogue magicians, and the dark magician society Ophionto, to pay their bills and escape abolition by the wizards’ association. The problem is Itsuki isn’t even a wizard and his unfamiliarity with magic is bad news for Astral. What he does have is an enhanced ‘Glam Sight’ ability which enables him to see the flow of magic and its weaknesses, control spells, and even peer into the memories of magic users. But every time he uses it, his health worsens. Although their rival firm Goetia is after the very same contracts, the jobs get ever more dangerous, and Itsuki and the Astral wizards soon realize that staying in the business is the least of their worries… Voted by fans as the “Best Action Story” in Japan’s Light Novel Awards in 2007 for the series of novels that the anime series is based on, Rental Magica features popular voice actors Jun Fukuyama (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion) and Rie Kugimiya (Shakugan no Shana) as lead characters Itsuki and Astral Shinto magician Mikan. Don’t miss all the robots and wizards anime action this March only on Animax
Little Battler Experience premieres March 20, airing Mondays to Fridays at 5.30pm. Rental Magica premieres March 29, airing Mondays to Fridays at 11pm.

Stay tuned on FOX for this global launched drama series! Touch centers around MARTIN (Kiefer Sutherland,) a widower and single father, haunted by an inability to connect to his mute 11-year-old son, JAKE. Caring, intelligent and thoughtful, Martin has tried everything to reach his son who shows little emotion and never allows himself to be touched by anyone, including Martin. Jake busies himself with cast-off cell phones, disassembling them and manipulating the parts, allowing him to see the world in his own special way. Everything changes when Martin discovers that Jake possesses a gift of staggering genius - the ability to see things that no one else can, the patterns that connect everything. Jake is indeed communicating after all. But it’s not with words, it’s with numbers. And now he needs Martin to decipher their meaning and connect these numbers to the cast of seemingly unrelated characters whose lives they affect.

While the sexual tension between Jared and senior partner Hanna Linden (Garcelle Beauvais) boils over as Peter is breaking up with his longtime girlfriend, prosecutor Janie Ross (Claire Coffee), they continue fighting for the underdogs and ne’er-do-wells as they learn to swim with the sharks in the world of high-stakes corporate law.

BOARDWALK EMPIRE Award-winning HBO Original Series, BOARDWALK EMPIRE, returns for a second season this March on HBO. In this season, Nucky and his lieutenants – including young World War I veteran Jimmy Darmody – appear to have solidified their hold on power by rigging an election and getting a crony elected mayor. However, after a bloody KKK attack at Chalky White’s bootleg warehouse, Nucky finds his hold on Atlantic City weakened, first by state agents who arrest him for election fraud and ransack his office, then by members of his own inner circle and even his family, who align with Jimmy’s father, the aging Commodore Louis Kaestner, in an attempt to oust him altogether. Meanwhile, mobsters like Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky and Al Capone wait in the wings, looking for the chance to grab a bigger piece of Nucky’s pie.

CASTLE S2-S3 Richard Castle, a famous mystery novelist and divorced father raising his teenage daughter, was creatively blocked. But when the NYPD questioned him in connection with a series of murders staged to imitate crime scenes from his books, Castle found inspiration in NYPD Detective Kate Beckett, a bright and aggressive homicide detective with a fascination for odd and offbeat cases stemming from the years-old unsolved murder of her own mother. Though they instantly clashed, sparks of another sort began to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance as Castle stepped in to help find the copycat killer. Once that initial case was solved, Castle and Beckett continued to investigate strange homicides in New York. With Beckett as his muse, Castle used his newfound experience in the field as fodder for his latest novel and bestseller, Heat Wave.

Since his departure from popular Korean boy-band 2PM, Jay Park has gone on a hot streak – beating Oscars as the number one trending topic on Twitter, forming a b-boy crew, starred in movies and made several music releases ! Jay Park’s new single album ‘New Breed PART 1’ was unveiled on various music sites on December 28th at midnight Korean time. This album shows off Jay’s charms with various genres including R&B, dance pop, and hip-hop. It also shows his musical talent as a singer-songwriter as four of the five songs are written and produced by Jay himself. The title song “Star” has reached No. 1 on various music sites like Bugs, Olleh Music, and Soribada while being on the top of other charts of music sites. “Star” is an R&B serenade with a 3/4 beat, which is not a common genre for K-pop.
