ALL is well sa pagitan ng GMA at ni Becky Aguila.

Upon the invitation of Ms. Lilibeth Rasonable and Ms. Marivin Arayata na nangasiwa together with Mother Lily Monteverde para sa asalto ni Ms. Wilma Galvante last Friday night, dumating si Becky together with her talent Jennylyn Mercado.

Nagkaayos na ang dalawang kampo na nagkaroon ng napakalaking gulo nang lumipat ang isa pang talent ni Becky na si Angel Locsin sa kabilang station.

From the text message of Becky na ito on what happened sa party: "I was really nervous and confused how to react but when Ma`am Wilma gave Jen a tight embrace, I felt relieve.

"Before we left, Ma'am Wilma reassured Jen that they'll take good care of her. That was enough assurance for me that everything will be all right. I felt good. Ma'am Wilma was very kind and sincere. It was god to see all friends in GMA. '

Last words ni Becky, "Time heal all wounds. "

MORE than 15,000 ang nag- apply just for one day alone sa Manila audition ng Pinoy Idol.

Friday, bumisita kami sa venue ng Manila audition ng Pinoy Idol na magsisimula sa GMA this April 12. This was after 3 p. m. na and as is, naramihan na kami sa mga nandoon na naghihintay na matawag. Medyo puno pa ang hall four kung saan naka standby ang mga hindi pa natatawag and the said hall can accommodate over 4,000 people SRO. Pittance pa pala ito sa dami ng audition the day before which numbered to 15,000.

Mas marami pa nga actually ang gustong mag audition kaso, according to the special software developed by the Idol franchise na part ng binili ng GMA for the Pinoy Idol, na compute na up to this much lang ang puwedeng mag audition for a number of hours.

Sa mga nag audition at nakapasa for the next call back, may ilang impressive na rin kung kaya't ti-yak nahirapan talaga ang mga judges in selecting the ones na karapat-dapat ma-ging Pinoy Idol.

Kung hindi kami nagkakamali, may isa pang out of town audition na gaganapin sa Subic naman dahil wala na ang Nag-a-audition.

SPEAKING of the SM Mall of Asia, nabili pala ng San Miguel ang right to name the stores overlooking the bay.

The strip of more than one point five kilometer with approximately 90 thousand square meters of land area fronting the bay na nasa likod ng SM Mall of Asia is called San Miguel By The Bay.

This is very much like what happened sa first I-Max theater in the Philippines na nasa SM MOA rin, nang nabili ng Coke to name it Coke I-Max. San Miguel By The Bay is being co-managed by SCMC Atty. Alert Nocom and San Miguel Corporation na.

Right now, there are 35 operating tenants dito including famous stores like Figaro, Pier One and others. May ilang stores dito, sa pag-aari ng celebrities like si Happy Ongpauco who owns Hawaiian BBQ and model Sheila Carlos na owner naman ng Harbor View Bistro.

In the future, nais ng San Miguel By The Bay to attract more crowd by bringing in activities with celebrities. Right now i-naayos na nila ang kanilang summer activities.

Suggestion nga namin, makipagusap sa GMA para magamit ang bay sa upcoming MariMar series, eh. He-he-he!

SPEAKING of MariMar, opisyal na ang pagiging number one nito nationwide.

Nagtabla na nga sa nationwide TV ratings ang GMA with the other station, proof sa tuluy-tuloy ang pagsulong ng Kapuso network.

This is according to the AGB Nielsen NUTAM survey na itinala from February 10 to 16, na tinapatan na ng GMA ang total day people ratings ng kalabang station both posting 7. 6%. Anim sa sampung nangungunang programs nationwide ay mula sa GMA lead by MariMar.

Sa Total Urban Luzon, patuloy ang pagiging domi-nante ng mga programa ng GMA with sixteen of the top 30 programs ang mula sa Kapuso again with MariMar in number one position.

Ganito rin sa sa North/Central Luzon where 21 of the 30 top programs ay mula pa rin sa GMA, MariMar na naman ang number one. Nagkaroon din ng ma-kabuluhang pagtaas ang ratings ng GMA maging sa South Luzon, Urban Visayas, at Urban Mindanao kung kaya't sa nationwide total day household ratings, 0. 8% na lang ang lamang ng kalaban from the same date.

Huwag nang itanong sa Mega Manila kung ano ang number one, siyempre ang primetime soap ni Marian sa GMA Telebabad after Kamandag.
