International Choreographer Fusion Boosts GMA’s Party Pilipinas

They say that you can beat a show in the standings time and time again every year in every poll but you simply cannot keep a good show, and an extremely competitive one at that, down on the ground for long. After losing to ASAP, rival network ABS-CBN’s long-standing Sunday prime time show, year after year, it may seem to the untrained eye that SOP and its veterans are finally calling it quits and hanging up the gloves after more than a decade of stiff competition. But they are in fact just playing possum and rearing in the public to their new and improved show, Party Pilipinas. This will give them the freshness they need to finally have an edge over their bitter rivals.

And leading the creative genius and fresh image on and off the screen is renowned international choreographer and dance guru Ruben Monet Ludlow or more popularly know in hip-hop circles as Fusion. The 31 year-old artist started dancing at the tender age of 17 and started out freestyling and simply dancing on the streets for fun. Slowly, he gained popularity in dance circles with his unique and powerful performance and have since then joined tours and shows of popular mainstream artists like Beyonce Knowles, Justin Timberlake, Puff Daddy, Akon and Madonna.

Fusion is also the renowned founder of Kung Fu Hiphop, a dance style that combines the contemporary hip-hop styles with the traditional moves of kung fu and wushu. Despite his legacy of fame and success in Hollywood and even across the globe, he still maintains a humble and down-to-earth attitude that makes him more adaptable to the Filipino culture. Catch Fusion and his new groove with the Party Pilipinas crew every Sunday starting March 28 and be wowed by world-class choreographies and dance numbers.

Richard Gutierrez Ruled Innocent by Department of Justice

Annabelle Rama was all smiles and happy tears when her son Richard Gutierrez was cleared of the Reckless Imprudence Resulting in Homicide filed against him by Lorayne Pardo, the widow of Gutierrez’s former personal aide Nomar Prado. Nomar died from an accident involving the young actor who was behind the wheel last May 22, 2009 on the Tagaytay-Santa Rosa road in Silang, Cavite. This ruling in favor of Richard reversed the first findings by the Cavite Provincial Prosecutor last September 18, 2009 that there is enough probable cause to haul Richard to court.

Lorayne Pardo reiterated that she filed the case last July 23, 2009 not for the sole purpose of sending Richard to jail and especially not to bleed the actor’s clan of settlement money as most tabloid reporters buzz around. She said that she only wanted some concrete answers to the nagging questions that robbed her of sleep because of unclear circumstance and evidences regarding his husband’s death that are still shrouded with doubt and uncertainty.

But in the official resolution decided in the court of law signed by outgoing DOJ Secretary Agnes Devanadera, she said that reports from the police as well as further investigations surrounding the accident yielded no results of foul play and reckless imprudence on the part of Richard that rendered Lorayne’s allegation “hearsay at best.” The totaled car and the extensive damages that disfigured it beyond recognition were also not enough to conclude that Richard was driving at breakneck speed and breaking the limit set by the law.

ABS CBN Says Show Suspension is ‘Not Fair’

Network giant ABS CBN finds suspension of its noontime show “Showtime” by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) on January 11 highly questionable.

The 20 day suspension of the show is caused by explicit and vulgar remarks of the show’s guest judge Rosanna Roces during the January 4 and 7 episode of “Showtime”. ABS CBN’s chief counsel Maximillian Uy argued that the guidelines and bases for such suspension are vague.

Roces was removed from the show the day after she uttered the remarks.

The suspension was ordered by the MTRCB after the guest judge has been removed from the show.

The network giant immediately replaced “Showtime” with “Magpasikat” the day after the suspension as been ordered. The latter show has been reformatted but the hosts were still the same. This action made MTRCB issue another order to suspend the new noontime show.

There were charges saying that ABS CBN was just trying to get out of the MTRCB order by creating another show to replace the suspended noontime show. Uy reacted to this and said “the order covered a specific program. The same hosts and concept don’t make it the same show.”

“Showtime” is now being aired on ABS CBN.
