PostHeaderIcon An oath to OPM’s Indie Music equal chance from CHanneL[V].

Describing their content as “vivacious,” Javier said that the music channel is friendlier and more accommodating than others who largely focus on mainstream music to the detriment of unsigned but equally deserving Filipino artists.

CHanneL [V] Creative Director Jose Javier Reyes promise to give the OPM indie music scene the chance it never had with other music channels.

“To focus only on mainstream music does not represent a wide base of youth culture,” he said. “With CHanneL [V], we’ll let the feelings and ideas of young people speak not only of their music but their lifestyle. We aim to be the intelligent music and lifestyle channel,” he said.

This thrust is most evident in the CHanneL [V] original program, “Popkorn.” Here, CHanneL [V] VJs and guest experts will review everything related to Pinoy pop culture from books and TV shows to movies and live gigs.

To reassert its place in the music scene, CHanneL [V] will launch exciting events and TV specials in the coming days.

The lineup begins with “The [V] invasion party on July 25 at the A-Venue in Makati City featuring DJ Bad Boy Bill, America’s top House Music DJ.

Other events to come are The [V] Club Nights; The [V] Amp Tour; Thursday Night Tri[V]ia Royal; The Campus In[V]asion and VJ Quest; The [V] Mall Tours; The [V] Halloween Party; The [V] Youth Forum; and AMP Live!

The matchbox20 lead singer Rob Thomas will also be featured in CHanneL [V]’s Spotlight Special on July 15. As for regular local programs, these include “Turo Turo,” “Hits All You Can,” “[V] Tunes Pinas,” “[V] Tunes Pinas Live” and “Scene and Heard.”

These shows will be hosted by Hong Kong based VJ, Alvin Alfonso, a Fil-Am from Canada, whom will be CHanneL [V] Philippines resident VJ.


CHanneL [V] Philippines airs on the premier tier Channel 25 of Sky Cable.

***I know for sure that OPM indie artists will boost up, now that CHanneL [V] reaffirmed their forthcoming break to let the OPM indie music scene stretch out locally or perhaps international by reaching out their comprehensive audience be heard and seen on screens.***

Make way for there’s more on the lot for our very own
OPM indie artists.
Break a leg and rock hard!
*hi-five!*

PostHeaderIcon Solar Eclipse on July 22

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth.

The sun is like fire and the moon like water. The fire gives out light and the water reflects it. Thus the moon’s brightness is produced from the radiance of the sun, and the moon’s darkness (pho) is due to (the light of) the sun being obstructed (pi). The side which faces the sun is fully lit, and the side which is away from it is dark. The planets (as well as the moon) have the nature of water and reflect light. The light pouring forth from the sun (tang jih chih chhung kuang) does not always reach the moon owing to the obstruction (pi) of the earth itself—this is called ‘an-hsü’, a lunar eclipse. When (a similar effect) happens with a planet (we call it) an occulation (hsing wei); when the moon passes across (kuo)(the sun’s path) then there is a solar eclipse (shih).

The Philippines will witness a partial solar eclipse on July 22, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Thursday. The state weather bureau said the path of the moon’s umbral shadow will begin in India and is expected to cross Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Central China, the Pacific Ocean, Ryukyu Island, Marshal Island and Kiribati. It said a partial eclipse will be witnessed in several parts of the Philippines including Metro Manila, Calayan Island, Laoag City, Tuguegarao City, Baguio City, Angeles City in Pampanga, Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Lucena City, Naga City, Iloilo, Cebu, Zamboanga, Sulu, Davao and General Santos City. PAGASA said the eclipse will start in Metro Manila at exactly 8:33:01 a.m. The eclipse’s full visibility will be seen at 9:43 a.m. and will end at 11:01:51 a.m. Other areas in the globe that will witness partial solar eclipse are those in eastern Asia and the Pacific Ocean. The weather bureau, meanwhile, cautioned spectators to avoid directly looking at the eclipse without safety eye devices. It said people can cover their eyes with X-ray films, sun glasses, smoked glass, eclipse glasses and photographic films and negatives. It said the safest method to view the eclipse is by indirect viewing “like projecting the image with a pinhole camera.“[read more]

PostHeaderIcon Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service.

While I was playing with my lappie last night, where I was in fact lurching across the bed and so eventually my wits hit the time. I guess it was around 12 midnight, when I’ve finally made a decision to open the TV, so that I, myself, will be able to witness the memorial service of the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson.
Family and friends, celebrities and media and thousands of Michael Jackson’s followers gathered yesterday at Staples Center, Los Angeles CA, USA.
I, being a fan of the King of Pop’s music would like to thank AEG for giving us fans this chance not even at least in person to just let us witness live via satellite. Thank You tons!

“I love you very much,” a fit-looking Jackson told thousands of
screaming devotees. “This is it. “I just want to say that these will be my final show performances in London. This will be it. When I say this is it, it really means this is it,” Jackson added.

“I’ll be performing the songs my fans want to hear…this is the final curtain call. I’ll see you in July.”

“I love you. I really do so much. From the bottom of my heart. This is it. See you in July,” said the 50-year-old Moonwalker.

He then raised his fist in the air, struck a series of poses, and left the stage.[read more]
