Rico Blanco and Chito Miranda collaborated via their band’s hit songs

In a rare event, 2 OPM icons Rico Blanco and Parokya ni Edgar’s Chito Miranda collaborated in one song to give OPM followers some delight and entertainment. The collaboration happened in Rico’s home and was made out of “trip”. Chito, in one of his tweets said, it was just an accidental recording when he went to Rico’s house and decided to record the song they want.

Although it was just a “trip-trip” session for the two, it resulted in a good music which gave the song a more fresh vibe. The 2 singers mashed-up 2 of their band’s hit songs, Rivermaya’s Panahon Na Naman and Parokya ni Edgar’s Harana.

The video was then uploaded by Rico on his RicoBlancoTV youtube channel which currently reaps praises and good feedbacks from its viewers. It was also well received in social media sites like Twitter and Facebook as netizens shared positive tweets and comments on the video.

Admittedly, I am big supporter of Rico Blanco and Parokya ni Edgar’s music and seeing them both in one video sharing their music is one reason to be grateful and be hopeful that OPM and Pinoy Pop Music is still so much alive. We just need to appreciate it more than foreign songs and those K-Pop phenomenons.

Willie Revillame berates co-hosts on live TV

An irate Willie Revillame, came out and burst out in anger again on his new noontime show Wowowillie. He scolded his co-hosts Ethel Booba and Ate Gay after not getting their prize in one of their segments.

He called out the two co-hosts as someone who are not grateful for the help he has done for them. He even told them to be thankful because he was the person responsible for giving them their job. Revillame’s anger came after Booba and Ate Gay allegedly shouted and questioned him why they didn’t win.

This is not the first time that Willie showed arrogance on live national television. There were many instances that he berated and scolded his staffs on live TV from his previous shows. Maybe its just his way of getting attention or he’s just like that to his subordinates.
