Eric Fructuoso Defends Title Against OPM Icons in 'The Singing Bee' (Nov 23)

OPM icons Andrew E, Randy Santiago, Jamie Rivera, Hajji Alejandro, and Jenine Desiderio will experience a different kind of sing-along this Saturday (Nov. 23) as they clash in the hit musical game show “The Singing Bee” to clinch the coveted P1 million jackpot prize. 

The pressure doubles up for this week’s contestants since they are well-known as artists and are considered veterans in the field of music. To loosen up things a bit, the OPM icons will give a “sample sample,” which not many people know was originally coined in the first season of “The Singing Bee.” 

Who among them will make it through the “Final Countdown”? Can he beat the original gwaping and defending champion Eric Fructuoso? Will Eric, who already took home P40,000, be able to defend his title? 

On its pilot episode last November 16, the new “The Singing Bee” instantly ruled on its timeslot by garnering a national TV rating of 12.9% vs GMA’s “Startalk” that only recorded 5.3%, according to Kantar Media.

Now that summer is over and school days are just around the corner, Xyriel Manabat's Wansapanataym special this Saturday (May 26) sets the tone for kids to go back in school in a positive way.

In the ‘Remote Emote’ episode, Xyriel gives life to the character of Joy, a lazy child who is not always excited to go to school because of her addiction to television. One night, Joy meets a TV salesman named Mr. Booboo (Thou Reyes) who will give her a magical remote control that will enable her to fast forward time and escape from doing her school works. Will Joy’s lack of interest in school ironically teach her a lesson? Is she finally going to learn to value her education?

Wansapanataym is a part of ABS-CBN’s “Bida Best Kid” campaign launched recently that aims to empower children by encouraging them to become who they want to be and the best that they can be.
