Unusual song choice given for them in this segment... 🤔

After several weeks from Collab 2.0's wrap-up, Ash and Cess make their much-requested return to performing in the Kapuso Sunday noontime variety show.

As numerous fans would say, "They finally remembered that they have a 3rd and 4th Big Placer!"

Going into the prod, the song choice might be familiar to some people in this subreddit, which is Sexbomb Girls' "Halukay Ube".

Considering that Ash and Cess both have different but pleasant singing voices, I felt that this particular song didn't help them showcase those voices.

But, one thing that this prod does highlight is their love for performing, based on how they move on stage.

How about you, guys? What songs or dance music would be great for them in their future prods in that show? Drop your suggestions below! 💬

A pleasantly surprising appearance, even in just a side role... 🎬

So, in yesterday's episode of the Kapuso afternoon series, Way appeared as the younger self of one of the lead characters named Angel, whose present-day self serves as the role of Ashley Ortega, while the veteran actress with Way in that flashback scene was Ms. Matet De Leon.

If I remember correctly, this is Way's 2nd post-eviction cameo role, after also having a short-lived role, alongside AZ, in a previous Kapuso primetime series titled Sanggang Dikit FR.

Deviating from this show, something else I found interesting related to Way is that some people, even in this sub, are looking at the possibility of her being part of Cap and Heath's upcoming afternoon series, Pangarap na Ginto, based on the comments I saw in this community after their Diwata prod (with Clifford also) in All-Out Sundays several days ago.

Although Way is one of last season's first evictees, alongside Reich, it's nice to see that the Kapuso network is still keeping her busy with these bite-sized, but frequent opportunities.

A "solo" fandom from Collab 2.0 already bowing out? That's unfortunate... 😯

In a post made by the official Twitter account of Team Princess Official past midnight of yesterday (scroll to 2nd photo), they announced their fandom's closure, a decision that raises a couple of questions and even some implications for Princess.

Although the fandom, collectively named as "Royals", stressed out that the real reasons for their decision will remain private, as a forum for discussion, I think we can give our best attempt at dissecting this case, even though we can only come up with speculations, at most.

What led to their fandom's shutdown?

While the admins did state a shift in priorities, they also mentioned attempting to reach out to Princess' mom, Lallie, in order to settle undisclosed matters (possibly some form of conflict), only for them to get no response.

Beyond the fandom's statement(s), are there any other possible reasons?

Outside of the official statement and the other posts that they published related to this matter, if there is another potential reason to point to, there was also this instance from one of Cess' recent livestreams, where one of her solids tried to raise a concern, which she was said to have disregarded said concern.

Because this isn't part of the issued statement, please take this with a grain of salt.

What does this mean for Cess moving forward?

For any young artist with a budding career (especially ex-housemates), a rule of thumb that they need to be mindful of is to not lose your mother fandom(s) (different from "ship fandoms).

Now that the same fandom that worked to the bone to successfully save her from eviction thrice, and secure her a spot in Collab Edition 2.0's Big Night already signed off, Cess' ability to attract a loyal support base for herself and her career in the long run without an organized core fandom at present will be put to the test.

For a slightly more optimistic forecast, this event could help Cess free herself from her "PBB branding".

How about you, guys? Do you suspect any other reasons (outside what's laid out in this post) behind the fandom's closure? Do you think that Cess can bounce back from this?

Familiar tune, unusual pairs 🤯

You may have already heard the song used in this production number of today's AOS episode, which is "Diwata" by 1621.

But that's not the strange part here. Particularly focusing on some of the Collab 2.0 housemates here, the Kapuso Sunday noontime variety show paired up Heath with Way, then Clifford with Cap, which is quite surprising if you haven't seen or heard of the "leaks" for this particular episode.

Even if I already knew about this setup beforehand, I couldn't help but laugh while watching this earlier because I could already imagine the variety of reactions that the pair-ups and the prod could draw. 🤣

One thing's for sure, Heath and Clifford's voices are so fit for these kinds of songs.

And in a way, the prod kinda captures how experimental the Kapuso network can be.
