Ai Ai Delas Alas superhero character and of course the TV series, Volta, made it in the Regional Semifinals of the 2008 International Emmy Awards, Best Comedy Show category, making it the ONLY TV Show from the Philippines to make it that far this year in the prestigious Television award-giving body. “Kami lang ang pumasok mula sa Pilipinas. Go na go na kapatid. Ang taray talaga! Salamat sa Diyos,” Ai Ai Delas Alas gushed after hearing of the Volta nomination. Last Year, ABS-CBN’s late night news program, Bandila, also made it to the International Emmy’s.

Volta will compete with NEO-Office Chuckles NHK, Telecom Staff of Japan, The I.T. Crowd A Talkback Thames Prod for Channel 4 of Uni­ted Kingdom, The Thick of It - Spinners & Losers, BBC of United Kingdom, Boese Maedchen Biller & Vass TV Produktion of Germany, Geile Zeit Sony Pictures Film und Fernseh Produktions GmbH of Germany, and some other shows from Latin America.

In the intriguing side of Philippine Showbiz, it has been reported that Ai Ai Delas Alas reportedly said, “impakta si Kris Aquino” and AiAi is reportedly still very angry at her for having been dragged into the James Yap-Kris Aquino separation controversy.

A reader emailed me a tip saying that Inaki of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 has a scandal but not the kind of scandal that you think, lol, but the sort where Inaki lied to his teeth when he auditioned for Pinoy Dream Academy 2. The tipster sent me to a link in YouTube where Inaki, without batting an eyelash said he originally arranged his audition piece “Summer Breeze” to the amazement of the clueless judges.
Just check this video below to see Inaki scandalously lying. (Note: the spelling is really Iñaki, but most keyboards nowadays don’t have “ñ” hence the change to “n”).

Krista Ranillo further ups the ante in the educated girls turned sexy bombshells by posing sexy in FHM Philippines August 2008 issue. Krista Ranillo starred in the indie film, Paupahan, where she drew flak from her own father, actor Mat Ranillo III for doing a sexy role. Mat Ranillo III apparently came to terms with his non approval after attending the premiere showing of Paupahan. Matt Ranillo III reportedly does not approve of this FHM Philippines cover story of Krista Ranillo.
