Paolo Bediones, host of Survivor Philippines announced in Davao City that the cash prize for Survivor Philippines is three-million pesos, tax free—the biggest cash prize ever offered for a local reality show. And that’s not all, Survivor Philippines is to shoot in a foreign country with the 16 castaways plus 80 production staff, including Paolo, during 39 days of taping. As per the strict regulation of Castaway Productions—franchise owner of Survivor (USA, Worldwide), Survivor Philippines will not be held in the Philippines. Pinoy lang ang magiging castaways ngunit hindi sa Pilipinas ang remote island na gagamitin. Wala raw kasing Survivor franchise na ginagawa sa sariling bansa. They will also use 10 cameras to record every movement of the 16 castaways.

Survivor Philippines production people stressed that it is not an ‘artista’ search. In order to join, a castaway wannabe need not sing, act or dance to be qualified. Castaway hopefuls who fall on the right age bracket requirement (18 - 60 years old), must be physically fit and mentally capable to live 39 days in a remote island are what is just needed.

The Davao leg of the audition kicked off last May 1 and 2, and it was a hit. Ironically, many of them might not have seen a single episode of this famous reality game show, they were just there for the prize pot or the chance to be discovered and be an “artista.”

The scheduled dates of the next Survivor Philippines are:

* CEBU (SM Cebu) - May 5 and 6
* ILOILO (SM Iloilo) - May 8 and 9
* BAGUIO (SM Baguio) - May 17 and 18
* MANILA (SM North Edsa) - May 21 and 22
* MANILA (SM Manila) - May 23

Q: How do I audition for Survivor Philippines and what time will the auditions be held?

A: Simply go to the audition venues on the designated dates. Auditions for Survivor Philippines will be conducted during MALL HOURS from 10 AM - 10 PM.

Q: Where do we get the forms for the Survivor Philippines auditions?

A: You can get the forms at the venue when you arrive. Remember to bring your own pens.

Q: What do we need to bring for the auditions?

A: Aside from a pen to fill in the audition forms, you only need to bring yourself. Be prepared for interviews and challenges that will test your wit and skills to show the selection panel that you are fit to be one of the 16 castaways. Good Luck..

GMA Artist Center headed by Ms. Yda Henares formally introduced the new GMA Artist Center talents. “Mas malakas ang dating ng mga lalaki,” one reporter loudly observed. It’s so unlike in StarStruck where the girls usually are more promising than the boys, this time, it’s the guys who look like they have more chances of making it than the girls.

Presenting some of the new GMA Artist Center Male Talents:

Rye Fariñas is the second of six kids of the late Maria Theresa
Carlson and Gov. Rudy Fariñas. His eldest sister, Cristina, 23, is
also being introduced with him. Rye, 20, stands 5′10″ and is a
culinary arts sophomore at St. Benilde. He plans to put up his own
restaurant someday. His real name is Ryan. “But since GMA already has Ryan Yllana, they told me to use my nickname instead,” says Rye who sings and dances and wants to be part of “SOP”. He’s been doing ramp modeling since he was 17 and it’s his modeling agency that referred him to GMA-7.

Victor Aliwalas, 23, was born in Ohio then his family moved to New
York where he finished marketing and finance at the University of
Syracuse. He was already a mortgage broker when their family had a
vacation in Manila. His cousin showed his picture to a talent manager and he was hired to do modeling and later was referred to GMA 7. “I never imagined I’d be in showbiz as it was never my intention to sing or act,” he says. “But things just fell into place and now I’m happy to be with GMA.” His drawback is that he speaks Tagalog with an American accent. “Mabilis naman akong matuto and I want to try hosting,” he says. Victor’s dad is from Pampanga and his mom is from Bicol. He’s the youngest of two kids and his elder sister is a doctor. He stands 5′10″ and has a very hunky physique as he works out regularly in the gym.

Gino de la Peña, 20, is 5′9″ and does print modeling. Recently, a
talent scout from Chicago saw him in a mall and got him to be the
first Filipino model for Benneton. He has appeared in music videos and was once the leading man of Nina in one of her videos. He finished entrepreneurial management at Thames College and has hosted some shows of Christian Bautista since they belong to the same church. He is a fan of Katrina Halili and once spent P50,000 worth of Tricks Gel just to win a date with her.

Lawrence Gutierrez, 18, is 6′1″ and the cousin of Ruffa and Richard
Gutierrez, and also of Rye Farinas. He is a professional model who’s
trying showbiz for the first time. Einar Ingerbrigsten (we hope
they’ll give him a shorter screen name) is 22 and has done a number
of TV commercials. Joseph Marco, 18, has the potential of a teen
hearthrob. He has also done several commercials and is part of
Cosmo’s 2007 centerfolds. He was also in the top 30 of the Be Bench / The Model Search.

Bryann Jay Foronda, a commercial model, theater actor, choir member and athlete.

Josh, 19, a professional model who won a prestigious male competition in the US.

Joseph Marco, model, has done commercials for Jollibee, Head & Shoulders, Downy, and Red Ribbon, was one of the Cosmo 69 Bachelors for 2007.

Einar Ingebrigsten, 22, 5′11, Penshoppe model, a talent of Victorio Modeling Agency, Mossimo Bikini Summit 2005 winner, has appeared in a McDonald’s commercial with another GMA talent Rhian Ramos.

Some are already veterans in the entertainment industry or are not exactly new to showbiz, they are now managed by the GMA Artist Center, talents like Marvin Agustin, Paolo Paraiso, Jon
Joven, and child stars Renz Velario and Iking Mangundayao.

Max Speed… he sounds harmless on air but is tattooed all over

7 - Give a bad encounter with a local celebrity?

I’ve hacked into e-mail accounts… I do it not only to girlfriends… also looked into a cellphone or two.

9 - How old were you when you lost your virginity?

10 - Which do you consider the better TV station, GMA or ABS?
If I had to choose, it’s GMA… people are nicer there… more like family… ABS… I like it because of the TFC… it’s very strong abroad… it does a great thing… the TFC work is excellent.

11 - Have you ever gotten or almost gotten into a fist fight with a local celebrity?
Almost got into one recently. But the most serious one, it was with Jay-R. Because I went out with his GF when he told me not to. I was in the wrong. He forgave her, and told us not to do it again. But I did it again… The 2nd time, he got pissed… “I’m gonna kill you” type of pissed. He forgave me for the 2nd time… Now we are really good friends. She’s married now and lives abroad… I deserved an a** kicking but he was really nice about it. I’ve apologized a million times.

14 - There’s a movie “We are the Worst Actors”… who are the leading man and woman?
Troy Montero and Nancy Castiglione

15 - If you had to fire a DJ from this station, based on lack of ability, who would it be?
Teta News… she does not seem like she wants to be here… doesn’t have the passion…(he also joked that she was choosen to see her reaction, because she comes next after their radio show)

16 - When was the last item you pleasured yourself?
Sunday morning… 7:30 in the morning…

17 - Have you pleasured yourself to the photo or video of Maui?
Yes… looking at the threesome scene with Katya Santos and Wendell Ramos… but last Sunday, No…

Maui calls in… Mo says Maui has to resign because he cannot work with her anymore… knowing that he worked his wang with her in mind…She wanted to watch Moe do it, and Mojo Jojo said he wants to join in too…

18 - Who in showbiz do you dislike working with?
I really don’t have a bad experience… they treat me well… well, if I had to … I host Y speak… Do you know the show “Let’s Go”? We guested a group of them and they are just the most irritating bunch of people… they guested a 2nd time… I just wanted to die… I can’t stomach it… if it’s dislike… yeah, some of them…

Mojo Jojo: It’s on Abs-cbn

Moe: Who Cares! (All throughout the show, when someone mentions “Let’s Go”, he says “Who Cares”)

19 - Name 3 celebs that you tried flirting with but they didn’t flirt back?
I can’t physically do it… I’m embarrassed… I’m the shy type..I can only mention the girls I’d like to flirt with… I’ve had a long time crush on Rica Peralejo, Ann Curtis, Joyce Jimenez.

That biatch Cristy Fermin and Jobert Suca-ldito

22 - Celeb email address:
For shrek (Cristy Fermin): Itshalloweeneverysunday@thebuzz.com

23 - Which female celeb could admit having plastic surgery done on them?
Karel Marquez… don’t think that something that big can grow on her…But all these are a compliment really for the stars if it’s not true that they had something done.

24 - Where’s the craziest place you’ve done it?
(Took a long while answering)..This is gonna sound bad … it’s wild… don’t think of it in a nasty way… in the same room where my sister was sleeping… in the bed next to my sister’s bed… she was sleeping…

25-26 If you could say the following line to a local celeb, “Dude we all know you’re gay so just admit it”, who would you say it to? Could be gay – Paolo Ballesteros, Erik Santos

27 - We’re known to have pretty jocks at the station… have you ever had a little “something-something” (gone to town) with one of the female jocks?
Oui… (said it in French)

28 - Have you ever gone out with someone famous that no one knew about?
Long, long time ago… Joyce Jimenez.

The next question was actually not asked but Mo was already anticipating that the next question would be if he slept with Joyce, so he … TAPPED OUT.
