BIBIANO “THE FLASH” FERNANDES clashes with KOETSU OKAZAKI for the ONE FC BANTAMWEIGHT INTERIM TITLE

ONE Fighting Championship™ (ONE FC), in association with Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC), returns to the fight capital of Asia on Friday, 31 May, with the highly anticipated first title defense of hometown hero ONE FC Featherweight World Champion Honorio “The Rock” Banario. Banario will put it all on the line when he takes on Japanese submission specialist Koji Oishi. Plus, pound-for-pound king Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes returns to the famed ONE FC cage when he squares off against Japanese MMA sensation Koetsu Okazaki for the ONE FC Bantamweight Interim Title. All the action will take place at the 20,000-seater SM Mall of Asia Arena in what is expected to be the greatest fight card ever compiled in ONE FC history. After selling out arenas throughout Asia it is finally time for ONE FC to return to the Philippines. 

CEO of ONE Fighting Championship™ Victor Cui stated, “ONE FC will be back in the fight capital of Asia on 31 May with a stacked fight card that is sure to get the adrenaline pumping for the passionate Filipino fight fans. This event could possibly be the largest in ONE FC’s history and features the top names in MMA, headlined by ONE FC Featherweight World Champion Honorio Banario. Of course, having one of the greatest fighters on earth fighting on this card in Manila is sure to be a special night for MMA. Bibiano Fernandes always brings his best when he steps into the cage. Close to 20,000 fans will pack out the SM Mall of Asia Arena to witness the greatest sporting spectacle in the world.”

Tickets for ONE FC: RISE TO POWER will launch in Casino Filipino branches across the Philippines starting on 19 April 2013.

Fans from around the world can witness the action online via live streaming at www.onefc.livesport.tv.

The first two undercard fights are available for viewing free-of-charge and the main card fights will be available for purchase at just US$9.99. 

ONE FC Featherweight Champion Honorio “The Rock” Banario is one of the top Mixed Martial Artists in the world today. He is a member of the legendary Team Lakay where he trains alongside fellow ONE FC fighters Eduard Folayang and Kevin Belingon under head coach Mark Sangiao. Banario comes from a Wushu background, an ancient Chinese martial art whose practitioners are recognizable by a diverse range of striking techniques. Despite his striking credentials, five of Banario’s eight wins were by submission, proving how versatile he really is. Banario captured the ONE FC crown when he defied all odds by defeating his fellow countryman Eric Kelly at ONE FC: RETURN OF WARRIORS via TKO. Banario will be looking to hold onto his title when he battles the ever so tough submission specialist from Japan, Koji Oishi.

Koji Oishi is a 35 year-old Japanese mixed martial arts veteran and former Lightweight King of Pancrase. He comes from a wrestling and karate background and is renowned for leaving everything on the line in brawls against some of the best in the business, including Chris Lytle, Carlos Condit and both of the Diaz brothers.

ONE FC Bantamweight World Champion Soo Chul Kim is currently undergoing shoulder surgery and will be out of action for an indefinite period of time. Therefore, ONE FC officials have decided that an interim ONE FC Bantamweight World Championship title will be introduced until Kim is ready to make a comeback. 

Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes is undeniably one of the best fighters in the world today. His never-ending gas tank, explosive take-downs and lighting fast strikes have garnered him a huge fan base amongst Asian and international fans alike. Fernandes made his ONE FC debut in August 2012 at ONE FC: PRIDE OF A NATION where he defeated journeyman Gustavo Falciroli via unanimous decision. A veteran who has fought countless Japanese fighters, Fernandes will have his toughest test yet when he battles Japanese sensation Koetsu Okazaki. 

Okazaki is the latest top Japanese fighter to sign for ONE FC and is one of the most experienced fighters in the entire bantamweight division. He is a tenacious competitor known to never back down from any opponent. Okazaki specializes in submissions but he is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with anyone if that is what it takes to get the win. Okazaki knows that a win over Fernandes will get him the global recognition that he deserves and the ONE FC Bantamweight Interim Title wrapped around his waist.

In their journey to find their families...

They learn that in becoming a hero, it doesn't matter if you are big or small...

Its the size of your heart that matters. 

Little Champ is an ABS-CBN Philippine television drama that premiered last March 18, It is showing weekdays before TV Patrol.

The story with Caloy, a sickly and skinny six year old boy dreams of becoming a superhero together with his best friend, Chalk, a small and frail transport horse. Caloy lives a simple life with his parents, Lucas and Helen, in a ranch owned by Lucas' friend, Miguel Suarez.

Events, however, turn for the worse when Miguel's son accidentally falls off and dies while riding a horse with Caloy. Miguel banishes the horse, a prized stallion named Champion, who is Chalk's father. Miguel blames Caloy for the death of his son and vows to destroy him and his family. Miguel hunts them down and in the ensuing chase, Caloy gets separated from his parents.

Chalk, eager to rescue Caloy from Miguel and his hunchmen, stumbles upon a white meteorite which transforms him into a powerful white stallion with the ability to talk to humans! Caloy and Chalk end up in Intramuros where they meet Amang Leon, a grumpy yet kind-hearted baranggay chairman who teaches them the importance of being a hero.

I had the opportunity to see how the scenes of the teleseries been making. With my blogger friends, we had visited one of their shooting venues at Novaliches last April 9. I've seen the artists, the crew, production staff, directors and all the people how dedicated, responsible and hardworking during the shoots behind.

TV is About to Change! OTT (Over-The-Top) for pinoyRealTV

Tweet

OTT (Over-The-Top) TV is becoming the next big thing as far as convenient viewing experiences concerned.

Last year, real life couple Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez launched their Reality TV show online which they called LOL: Love On-Line at their UstreamTV channel – http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pinoyrealTV. LOL: Love On Line show their life as husband and wife.

Change is beginning to happen. Exciting things are up ahead on your favorite online TV channel – pinoyRealTV and gearing up for it's all-new-season. Last April 8, Monday at the Paire, Cocoon Boutique Hotel, Quezon City, the people behind this new website online,  directors and writers headed by Ms Lyn Fajardo presented to us the new pinoyRealTV which is all set to assert its presence in the OTT (Over-The-Top) TV arena powered by http://www.whoa.ph/.

With pinoyRealTV own format, OTT allows viewers to watch shows anytime and anywhere and on a variety of devices via broadband connection. The moment you go online, you can avail of specialized contents regardless of wherever you are.

Powered by www.whoa.ph, pinoyRealTV will have more programs likeUrban Tribe, an all-access pass to the city's biggest gigs and events and a guide to the trendiest hotspots in the metro;

Unique Places, features must check-it-out places with great recreational facilities;

Pinoy Indies, a showcase for Pinoy digital films, both full-lengths and shorts;

Promdi Chef, a show that combines gastronomy with travel with an Ilonggo Chef as the "promdi chef";

There will be more explosive and enticing shows to whet viewers’ appetite - pinoyRealTV's upcoming production is Hot Seat hosted by media friends Eddie Littlefield, Alex Brosas and Julie Bonifacio. Hot seat promises to be the ultimate showbiz talkfest which brings you the latest showbiz news, scoops, reports and insights.

And more, like It's Me Avel, fashion and lifestyle show of the country's famous fashion designer, Avel Bacudio.

They'd be posting the schedule when to broadcast the said shows and you'd have to tune in on the particular time since they will not post the video of the program after.
