«Ang Mutya ng Section E» («The Jewel of Section E"») is actually good.

It is a live-adaptation of a #NAVER #Wattpad novel. The show is being produced by #VIVA with actors from #Ppop groups #LITZ and #Gat, and more.

The #fandoms on #Twitter are definitely having a very hard time. I think this is a very good opportunity for #Tumblr to launch their #ActivityPub integration and open their platform to the #fediverse.

Fandoms, especially Asian ones, are familiar with Tumblr already. Tumblr can position themselves as the new place for fandom content.

Happy 125th Independence from Spain my beloved Nation, the Philippines!

(Which ironically, we're still using the name they gave us.)

For today's independence post, let's talk a bit about General Pío del Pilar.

The attached image is the KKK (Katipunan) flag used by General Pío del Pilar, the namesake of barangay Pio del Pilar, #Makati City.

His flag was called “Bandila ng Matagumpay” (en: “Flag of the Triumphants”) and was first used on July 11, 1895. (And his KKK faction was called “Matagumpay” (en: “Triumphants”)

Pío del Pilar was a force to reckoned with. He liberated , defended, and participated in many battles against the Spaniards. Some of these places we know today as Mandaluyong City, Las Piñas City, the Municipality of Pateros, Taguig, the province of Nueva Ecija, parts of Cavite province, and Calamba City (in the province of Laguna), to mention a few. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%ADo_del_Pilar )

Fun facts:
* General Pío del Pilar was born in Barrio Culi-culi, San Pedro de Macati.

* Barrio Culi-culi is today's barangays Pio del Pilar and Bangkal.

* While San Pedro de Macati is now Makati City.

* His father was a farmer from Pasay City (one of the oldest cities in the country, and itself was a “kingdom” in pre-colonial times, named after Dayang-dayang (princess) Pasay, daughter of Rajah Sulayman of the “kingdom” of Maynila).

* And his mother was an embroider from Mandaluyong City.

Leaving comments like “there are too many plot holes” without listing those “plot holes” will help no one. List those “plot holes” in bullet format, so we can explain it to you. ^_^

Let's volt in!

Check out the official music video of “Voltes V: Legacy”, the most-awaited live-action adaptation of the classic hit anime series “Voltes V” (超電磁マシーン ボルテスV)!

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYGj7jJXX-M

* Title: Voltes V No Uta
* Performed by: Julie Anne San Jose
* Composer: Kobayashi Aso
* Produced by: Rocky S. Gacho

It will premiere this coming May 8, 2023 at 20:00 ACT (UTC+8), Monday to Friday. Total number of episodes is 80, and the dialogues will be in mix Philippine English and Filipino; with the Boazanians speaking in, well, Boazanian.

I'm not sure if any fansub group/individual will pick it up, but it will be very surprising if no one did. I'm not saying they should do it… but as much as the industry doesn't want to admit it, getting chosen by a fansub is good marketing and a good sign your production was good enough for them to voluntarily make good fansubs. Good, good? ;P

(PS. I'm just a regular excited fan sharing.)

I can say that #Pdramas (Pilipino #TV dramas/series) are finally getting better.

For decades (since the 80s? 70s?), it got stuck with melodramas, endless revenge, mistresses, and more endless revenge, plots.

There are still a lot to change in the industry, for example, the strict hold/trap the big TV networks have on which shows, production companies, and talents, are aired here and there. But, signs that they are loosening their grip are starting to show.

However, there is one thing that we all want to definitely change, the sooner, the better, 15 to 20-minute worth of #TVC (TV commercials) for a supposed 30 to 40-minute episode.

If they air foreign shows in the #Philippines, they will insert that much of TVCs, for example, a single #Kdrama episodes turns into 2 to 3 episodes locally. LOL.

More has to be done, but our efforts are not going to waste. Slow, but things are improving. ^_^

Kudos to #HeartsOnIce for inserting an important lesson about using materials you do not own.
