RARELY do I have the time to watch television; but TV, palangga, is here to stay, so I have to ask friends, what did I miss?
Anyway, one channel I do make sure to watch is Channel E! And I will surely watch out for its new show “E! News Asia Special: Piolo Pascual.”
Yes, E! is featuring the handsome, stylish and talented Piolo Pascual. And, it launched the show at The Loft Rockwell, which provided a visual feast of the city’s breathtaking view, a fitting backdrop for the Philippines’ ultimate heartthrob, no less.
Piolo Pascual got things on a roll by performing songs and captivating us with his soothing voice. His performance reminded everyone in the hall of his versatility as an entertainer.
NBC Universal country manager Liza Latinazo said E! did not leave any stone unturned to come up with a show that would satisfy everyone’s interest about Piolo.
We were at the edge of our seats when a preview of the episode played, showing cameras following Piolo from his work to his home, even inside his bathroom, would you believe!
In the show, Piolo is set to reveal the truth about all the rumors surrounding him. Viewers will also get a chance to see him at his most candid—talking about his “aspirations and surrounded by the people he loves,” said Latinazo.
The show will have appearances by Toni Gonzaga, Iza Calzado and his son, another good-looker, Iñigo, natch.
“E! News Asia Special: Piolo Pascual” will premiere on Sept. 28, 9 p.m., only on E! (SkyCable Channel 57, Cignal Channel 25 and Cablelink Channel 33).

From TV, we were off to boozing, dahlings, when moi got an invite to Bacardi Philippines’ “Untameable Since 1862.”
The Amber Ultra Lounge was turned into a colorful Cuban tavern, where male guests got straw hats and female invitees, floral headpieces.
During dinner, thematic dishes were served. Host was Rico Robles.
