TV5 ends the year with five stories that shook 2013 and five personalities who inspired and brought good news for Filipinos. Hosted by News5 chief Luchi Cruz-Valdes, the Kapatid Network’s year-ender special “Lima sa 2013” will air on December 31, 10pm-11:30pm.

“Lima sa 2013” will take the viewers to a countdown of five of the biggest stories of the year. At No. 5 is the Sabah Standoff, which resurrected the long-standing claim of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III for Sabah. Dozens of the sultan’s men died when Malaysia finally moved in with troops, planes, and artillery. No. 4 is the Bohol and Cebu earthquake, where more than 200 died in the 7.2 magnitude tremor that was equivalent to 32 Hiroshima bombs and traced to a previously undiscovered fault in Bohol.

Next at No. 3 is the Zamboanga siege, where a faction of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front attempted to raise the MNLF flag and declare independence, triggering a month-long fight within Zamboanga city’s heavily-populated neighborhoods, evacuating more than 100,000 residents.

The Napoles and PDAF story comes in at No. 2 with the multi-billion scandal that sparked massive protests over misuse of country’s state funds. Reportedly at the center of the scam are the country’s political bigwigs, senators, lawmakers, and Janet Lim Napoles, a businesswoman who started splurging in the lifestyle of the rich and infamous almost overnight.

Placing at No. 1 is the story that made the biggest impact to the world – when all eyes were on the Philippines when super typhoon Yolanda (International name Haiyan) hit the country. The “new normal” is here. Yolanda awakened the world on the destructive forces set loose by climate change. Moved by images of suffering and devastation, the world came to help with donations, volunteers, and fundraising campaigns initiated by the biggest international groups and personalities.

For the good news part, the “Lima sa 2013” also tells the story of five Filipinos who inspired: Chino Roque, a member of the Axe Apollo space team and soon the first Filipino in space; Juan Direction, five half-Filipino hotties but 100% Pinoys at heart; Megan Young, Mutya Datul, and Bea Rose Santiago who made 2013 the year Filipino beauty ruled the world and almost swept all titles; Gilas Pilipinas, the basketball team who showed “Puso” and won for the Philippines the silver in the Fiba Asia Cup and a crack at the Barcelona championship this year; and the Yolanda victims and volunteers, those who suffered quietly and served and answered to the call for help.

After the countdown of the biggest stories comes the countdown to the New Year, hosted by Paolo Bediones, Cheri Mercado, and Jove Francisco at 11:30pm.

Comedians Kitkat, John “Sweet” Lapus, Pooh, Joy Viado, and Cacai Bautista will end the year 2013 with lots of fun and laughter as they try their luck to win the P1 million in “The Singing Bee” this Saturday (December 28).

The episode will be more hilarious as they unleash their humor and exchange playfully banter with The Singing Bee’s well-loved hosting duo Roderick Paulate and Amy Perez. Who among them is the best in guessing the correct song lyrics and face the defending champion, newly crowned Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago? Bea already won P40,000 after defeating two-week defending champion Jett Pangan of The Dawn in the previous episode. Don’t miss “The Singing Bee” this Saturday, after “It’s Showtime” on ABS-CBN.

Our MMFF 2013 movie marathon aims to show support to the local film industry and to provide you, our dear readers our own, independent insights about the entries.

Pagpag Movie is one of the MMFF 2013 film entries – ABS.CBN Photo

In all honesty, we didn’t expect much from ‘Pagpag: Siyam Na Buhay,’ a Star Cinema and Regal Films production, which stars the hottest love team of today, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo better known as KathNiel with support cast that include Dominic Roque, Miles Ocampo, Matet De Leon, Shaina Magdayao and Paulo Avelino.

It turned out to be a good horror flick, better than the previous entries from Regal Films and even from Star Cinema. As a matter of fact, it did surpass our expectations.

While a unique film, strange to the local Filipino viewers may solicit ‘wows’ from the Filipino movie goers, familiarity with the subject matter, if executed well, could actually turn out better — and that where PAGPAG’s strengths lie. It tackles the very familiar theme of ‘pamahiin’ or superstitious beliefs about deaths and wakes, things that are believed by our forefathers long ago but still raises questions from many of us. Added with a youthful flavor and its stars’ chemistry, a lot of shocking scenes, characters’ conflicts plus a good twist, PAGPAG successfully got our nods.

It is hard to point out all the strengths and the weaknesses of the film, yet, we’ll try to name the obvious for your reference.

Not to mention the lead characters’ chemistry for that’s been tried and tested, the two are a strong force of the film. Aside from the fact that they are the very soul of the film as well, these teen stars are actually now better actors.

Padilla, with due respect to his onscreen ‘angas’ and charisma can actually make the people stick till the end of the film by merely portraying the role. His comedic timing is perfect and he delivers his lines, almost naturally. Though his role here isn’t challenging enough for a best actor trophy, Padilla did good as an actor.
