Gozon, Chairman and CEO; Mr. Gilberto Duavit, Jr., President and COO; Mr. Felipe S. Yalong, Executive Vice President and CFO; Ms. Lilybeth G. Rasonable, Officer-in-Charge of Entertainment and Regine’s sister and manager, Ms. Cacai Velasquez-Mitra.

Also present were Ms. Annette Gozon-Abrogar, GMA Films President and Ms. Redgie Acuna-Magno, VP for Drama.

Besides Sarap Diva, more projects are lined up for the legendary singer, actress and host. 

She said, “I’m actually excited to go back to doing soaps because I haven’t done that in a while. After kasi ng My Husband’s Lover, I guess our audience is open to a lot of new ideas now. Excited ako kasi puwedeng ibang tema naman ng soap ang gawin ko.”

Regarding Velasquez-Alcasid’s next project, Ms. Lilybeth G. Rasonable stated, “There are so many possibilities for her next soap, so we’re working on that now. We’re also proposing other things so we’ll let you know.”

Mr. Gilberto Duavit, Jr. described the award-winning singer as an icon in the industry. 
He expounded, “Siya ang icon natin. Mula noong pumasok kami ni Atty. Gozon at ni Mr. Yalong sa GMA, isa lang ang nadidinig at naalala naming tinig o boses, na siyang tumatayo bilang GMA. Wala siyang kupas maging sa pelikula, sa telebisyon, pagkanta at hosting. “

Atty. Felipe L. Gozon went on to declare that Velasquez-Alcasid is one of the network’s most prized stars. 
“Hindi lang Concert Queen ‘yan. Hindi lang Songbird ‘yan. Gumaganap din sa mga soap ‘yan. She is really an asset. We are very lucky.”

Apple Watch- Weather app not working on watch

I just got the apple watch and all the apps seem to work. But the default weather app cannot retrieve any data. I just has the spinning dots. I looked on my phone and the app works and has follow access to my location. The other weather app I loaded works great but of course I can't add a third party app to the watch faces. Any suggestions? I had this issue, but was able to find out the cause and fix it. I normally use the Weather Channel app instead of the Apple Weather app, maybe you do too. On your iPhone, go into the Apple Weather app and make sure that you have a default city set up there. If you don't then add one, and that location will show up in the Apple Watch app and on the weather app on the Apple Watch. That's all I had to do to get mine working. Meanwhile, according to Christopher Jennings fron the Forum Board: I just had the same problem with my new watch and was able to fix it without all the resetting and unsyncing stuff. My fix was to go into the Appl...

How to Avoid Being a Victim of Facebook Hacked accounts

In 2022, my sister sent me a private message passed 6:00 pm asking me if I can lend her a money via GCash. Then when I asked her how much and I told her that I don't have a balnce on my GCash account and told her to ask our older siblings. She did not reply on her usual phase. Then five minutes later my brother drop a message on our group chat telling us that my sister's account is actually hacked. The hacker already took some amount via GCash from her friends and our relatives. The best tip I can give if your sibling, friends and/or relatives sent a message via Facebook PM asking to lend him/her money is to call him whether you are not aware his account was hacked or not. If he did not answer, chances are you are already dealing with the hacker. Some swindlers hack accounts of people and tap into their contacts to try to ask for money while disguising themselves as the account owner.  Here are some tips from Globe's GCash on how to spot if your friends and family members a...
