Jerald As A Kid Host For A TV Show

Me and Jerald went to Montebello Villa Hotel, Cebu City on this day in 2015 for a tv taping.

Jerald was told by an ABS-CBN Cebu staff to join the MagTV Na taping as a Kapamilya Bida Kid with Kamags Blinky.

He was chosen as a guest kid host for the ABS-CBN Cebu tv show after passing some auditions.

We dropped by to the nearest McDonalds Restaurant on our way home after the shoot. To God be the glory.

MagTV Na: Koleksyons!

Today in 2014, ABS-CBN Cebu's MagTV Na! aired the episode KOLEKSYONS! It featured different collections of watches, shoes and of course stamps and the cooking segment.

The venue where I was interviewed by the host was at my one-man photo and stamp exhibit for Cebu Stamp Club titled Selyo ug Kasaysayan sa Fort ( Stamps and History @ the Fort) at Cuerpo de Guardia, Fort San Pedro, Cebu City.

Thanks ABS-CBN Cebu and MagTV Na Cebu for including me again for the third time (twice with stamps and Star Wars and once with Jerald Kervin in a Back to School segment). Thanks too direk Gilbert, kamags Blinky, kamags Phoebe, kamags Jonathan, kamags Borgie, kamags Bangs, kamags Charlie, the crew, Cebu Stamp Club, Fort San Pedro's Erwin de la Cerna and his staff; Julie with Jerald Kervin and Mark Yapching.

Jerald Is Officially ABS-CBN Cebu's MagTV Na Bida Kid

1st Audition Day, March 5, 2015

I got a message from Charlie M. of ABS-CBN Cebu's MagTV Na informing me to try to let Jerald audition as a Kapamilya Bida Kid. The following day on March 5, 2015, we went to the ABS-CBN Complex for his audition. He impressed everyone with his hosting and singing skills. 

2nd Auditon Day, March 19, 2015

A few days later, I was informed that he passed the audition and we have to come back again on March 19, 2015. He once again passed the second audition and only ten of them, composed of three boys and seven girls were officially chosen as the MagTV Na Bida Kids.

Some MagTV Na staff asked me to bring Jerald to Cebu Westown Lagoon on March 26, 2015 for their first pictorial and taping together with MagTV Na hosts Blinky, Phoebe, Jonathan and Borgie. We made sure to wake up early and arrived there at 6:00 am.

The taping lasted until 2:00 in the afternoon and we went home excited and thankful for this new milestone in his career. 

Watch him and other nine kids the whole summer in ABS-CBN Cebu's MagTV Na every Sunday at 9:00 am. To God be the glory!

Jerald Kervin Turns 10 Today!

Today you will be having two digits for your birthday! It's a perfect ten and it also coincides with your Walt Disney Treasures stage play in school as you do the role of Dopey. 

You have consistently made me and your mom proud. In academics you are always the first honor in school whether it's at Little Angel's Montessori School, Colegio dela Inmaculada Concepcion Mandaue and now at Benedicto College. 

You also showed your charm in modeling for SM Kids Fashion in different occasions and appearances in TV through ABS-CBN's Ina Kapatid Anak, Mag-TV and the Kapamilya Run 17th Anniversary. Now let your star shine more as you play the lead role in Ang Higala. 

You never cease to amaze us and we love you very much.. 

Happy birthday dear Kervin!

ABS-CBN Cebu's MagTV Na Visits Us Again

Yesterday got me and my son Jerald Kervin very excited after getting a phone call from ABS-CBN Cebu's segment producer Blaine Uy, informing us that the network's top-rating morning show MagTV Na would like to include Kervin in their Back To School segment to be aired on June 6, 2010 at 8:30AM.

After finalizing everything, the network crew arrived in our house this morning at 10:00AM. I got to meet the show's host Blinky once again as well as Blaine and the rest of the crew.

Jerald Kervin didn't mind the two hours of different takes in different angles. He sure acted like a pro and even got the director's thumbs up.

The last time the show came to the house was when they featured both of us and our stamps and Star Wars collections last year.

Thanks MagTV for featuring us the second time around.

The "MagTV Na" Video

For those who are not from Cebu, here's the home-made vid I took and the director's cut of the ABS-CBN Cebu's MagTV Na show aired last September 13, 2009 featuring my stamps and Star Wars collections. The original vid is rendered in AVI but I had to convert it to MPEG4 for faster uploading in YouTube and divided it into three parts. Just click on the videos to view.

The Anakin Skywalker Toy Figure

As my Star Wars collection grew, I started to have favorites.

Although I consider my Pepsi Japan Star Wars Bottle Cap collections as among my faves, I kinda have one figure that always reminds me of my son Kervin when he was around three years old. This is the Episode 1 Anakin Skywalker figure.

When the ABS-CBN Cebu tv crew came to the house two Saturdays ago to do a video shoot of my Star Wars collection and my stamps, the first thing they asked was the Anakin toy.

Their researcher Venice Polancos later told me that they read the feature that came out in Sun Star Daily Cebu regarding my Star Wars collection. The newspaper article mentioned about my favorite toy, the little Anakin Skywalker. You may read the Sun Star article by clicking here.

Now 5 years old, Kervin and I still love to play with it along with the other Star Wars figures and vehicles we have. Playing with the toys together has made father and son more closer than ever. Thanks to Star Wars!

Today at 10:45am, ABS-CBN Cebu's "MagTV Na" will be on air and will feature my Star Wars and stamp collections. Thanks again to Lindo Mark Mayol (Segment Producer), Blinky de Leon (Host), Reggie Molina (Director), Vince Moree Polancos (Researcher), Daki Bolutano (Cameraman), Tata Poligrates (Cameraman), Randy Berrame (Lightman), Ronald Albaraccin (Audioman), and Nick Nadela (Production Driver).
