I Dare You Season 2 Premieres October 12 on ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN’s realiserye “I Dare You” will lead the journey towards change as it shows celebrities and extraordinary Filipinos teaming up to face real-life challenges in a more daring and inspiring second season, which premieres on Saturday (Oct 12) on ABS-CBN.

Hosted by John Prats, former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate Deniesse Aguilar, Robi Domingo, and Melai Cantiveros, “I Dare You” will test the spirit, determination, and partnership of the “Celebrity Kakampi” and “Bidang Kapamilya,” who will work together to accomplish tasks.

The Bidang Kapamilya are everyday Filipinos and unsung heroes who bravely confront tough challenges such as firemen, sports coaches, farmers, athletes, soldiers, traffic aides, teachers, and many others.

If Season 1 focused on the series of tasks celebrities had to go through to win a reward for the Bidang Kapamilya, Season 2 will highlight the participants’ life-changing journey to foster positive change for themselves, their families, and their communities.

John shared that in Season 2, he and his co-hosts immerse directly and extensively in the Bidang Kapamilya’s world and get to experience the same challenges the celebrities have to go through.

“What’s good about this season is the immersion. We don’t just do something for a day, like sell something at a wet market, and that’s it. Now I understand other people’s lives better. I didn’t think I would be able to overcome what I did, but something was at stake, so I just did what I had to do. It feels good to be able to help others,” said John.

According to Robi, some celebrities even live and work with the Bidang Kapamilya for long periods, from five days to almost a month.

“‘Some celebrities don’t go home on a daily basis, and if they do, they come back to establish a connection, to relive the life of the Bidang Kapamilya. It’s reality at its finest,” he said.

He added, “In the program, we will show that you don’t have to be an Andres Bonifacio or a Jose Rizal to be a hero. We will showcase people who may be doing simple things but have a big impact on others, who don’t look for extravagance and credit. These stories are worth-sharing and inspiring.”

Hosting newbie Deniesse, meanwhile, is very excited or her first hosting project right after leaving the Big Brother house. She shared that aside from articulating spiels properly, she also learned how to mingle and relate to the Bidang Kapamilya.

“This is a huge opportunity and break for me. I’m very thankful for this because it helped me grow as a host and as a person,” said Deniesse.

Deniesse also noted that while she and her co-hosts have different roles in the realiserye, she will act as the ‘kabarkada’ who will listen to the participants’ grievances and ease their burden.

Join John Prats, Deniesse Aguilar, Robi Domingo, and Melai Cantiveros as they showcase Filipinos who brave through life’s challenges in ABS-CBN’s newest realiserye “I Dare You,” which stars airing Saturday night (Oct 12) after “Maalaala Mo Kaya.” For updates, like facebook.com/IDAREYOUSEASON2 or follow ang @IDareYouS2 on Twitter and @idareyouofficial on Instagram.

PHR Pintada Paints a Colorful Love Story on Kapamilya Gold

Love painted a different and unconventional romantic story between a teacher and her student this July as ABS-CBN recently premiered Precious Hearts Romances (PHR)’ newest offering, “Pintada.”

This much-awaited and top-rating drama is topbilled by Denise Laurel, who last heated up viewers’ afternoons in “PHR presents Midnight Phantom,” and fast-rising hunk-actor Martin Del Rosario, who is all set to take on bold and daring roles on television.

”Precious Hearts Romances presents Pintada” also marks the comeback of box-office director Cathy Garcia-Molina in directing teleseryes.

Follow the story of Lysa (Denise) as she embarks on a journey to find the courage to paint over her scars and face life again.

After escaping a scandal that smeared her reputation, Lysa is ready to start anew as she moves back to her hometown to work as a teacher in a community high school. Her irresistible beauty makes her the object of everybody’s attention, desired by men and envied by women.

Among those smitten by her is the naughty and hard-headed high school student Sev (Martin). Despite their deep emotional connection, Lysa opts to abide by her ethical principles as a teacher and refuses Sev’s advances.

Sev has yet to prove his love to Lysa, but then a fire will break out in the school that will change her life forever. While trying to rescue her students, a part of her lovely face gets burned. A man rumored to have had an affair with her also dies in the tragedy.

Besieged by hatred from the townsfolk and ashamed of her badly damaged face, Lysa suffers the aftermath of the tragic incident.

For many years, Lysa hides under a veil and refuses to mingle with people until a young man from her past, Sev, tracks her down.

What awaits Lysa and Sev? Will Lysa finally give Sev a chance now that their student-teacher bond doesn’t exist anymore? When everything she knew leaves her indelible scars, will Lysa still find a way to face life again? How can Sev help her cope with the pain brought to her by her past?

Also part of the cast are Yen Santos, Lemuel Pelayo, Bernadette Allyson, Alma Concepcion, Ricardo Cepeda, Nikka Valencia, James Reid, Jess Mendoza, Eslove Briones, Deniesse Joaquin, Jommy Teotico, Chase Vega, Katrina Legaspi, Erin Ocampo, EJ Jallorina, Lui Manansala, Dolly Gutierrez, Buddy Palad, and Marky Roldan.

Housemate Deniesse Gets Force Evicted From PBB House!

Deniesse Joaquin was the latest evictee in Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited but not by garnering the lowest percentage of votes among the nominees but because of a force eviction by Big Brother. Last night, Deniesse took her final vow inside the house and got force evicted by making severe violations which broke the house's rulebook.

Deniesse's first 'mortal' violation was when she asked guest Melai Cantiveros about her image in the outside world. The other violation was when she was caught whispering with housemate Divine. The two violations made Kuya decide to evict Deniesse.

It was Carlo who got the lowest percentage of votes before the text voting was stopped on Friday to give way for the force eviction of Deniesse. Carlo got only 14.13% while Deniesse could have been saved with 20.85% of votes. Tin and Seiichi got the highest and the 2nd highest of save votes with 36.22% and 28.80%, respectively.

This week, a group of ex-housemates called M6 will enter the house for a very special task. They are Baron Geisler, Beauty Gonzales, Franzen Fajardo, Rica Paras, and this season's evictee, Luz McClinton and Kigoy Abarico.

Watch PBB and be updated with another big twist to come.
