May 10, 2014 (WORLDWIDE HOUSE, HONGKONG) – The Filipino Channel (TFC), through TFC Load-n-Watch powered by Cloudfone is set to bring the Philippines’ top-rating variety show “It’s Showtime’s” successful segment, “Stars on 45,” to Hong Kong. TFC will bring “Stars on 45” to HK as part of TFC Load-n-Watch’s weekend event on May 11 at the Worldwide House and as part of TFC’s 20th anniversary year-long offering. As its 20th anniversary theme promises, “Stars on 45” will honor the galing or bring out the great Pinoy talents in HK.
Twelve finalists aged 45 and above who were picked from different Filipino organizations in HK will compete for the title of “Stars on 45: Hong Kong Edition” Champion. The winner will receive HK$5,000, a chance to be featured in one of TFC’s shows, and a brand new TFC Load-n-Watch device. The finalists are: Josephine Bigata (OFW HK Singers Association), Lowelyn Adu (Sarranetas HK – Ilocos Norte Association), Jane Suba (Dapwa Association), Fely Forges (Vigan Assocation), Christina Intia (The Voices HK group), Teresa Villabos (St. Joseph Church – FCG), Isabel Siagan, Lenie Genese (Lamtin Church group), Ismaelita Macajeto (Hikers Group), Carmelita Gonzales (Migrant Workers Association), Liza Parantar (Twin Ann Salon Group) and Rosario Kilakiga (Visayas, Mindanao Dance Ensemble).
Like the actual segment of “It’s Showtime,” each finalist will perform two songs: one from the 80’s and another from the year 2000 up to the present. Two judges or hurados will then give out scores ranging from one to ten – ten being the highest and one, the lowest. The audience will also be able to participate as they will be given a set of score cards to help the hurados judge each contestant after each performance.
Faster way to enjoy Kapamilya Content
The singing search, “Stars on 45: HK Edition,” is part of TFC Load-n-Watch’s Sunday launch of its cable downloading system – a better and faster way of downloading the affordable content bundles from the Cloudfone store (also located at the Worldwide House) to the Cloudfone Excite 402D devices.
TFC Load-n-Watch powered by Cloudfone is the breakthrough solution to the communication and programming needs of the overseas Filipinos (OFs) on-the-go in HK as it enables them to be informed and entertained through Kapamilya shows anytime, anywhere even without internet access.
TFC Load-n-Watch has upgraded its system to reach out to more customers who availed of the smartphone and content bundles and make their viewing experience more enjoyable.
ABS-CBN Global Ltd. Regional Marketing Head for Asia-Pacific Irene Acosta shares, “This is definitely faster than the previous wi-fi downloading system. What our Kapamilyas need to do is to just have their Cloudfone Excite 402d devices plugged to the cable ports in the store, wait for the download to finish for about 10 to 12 minutes and enjoy watching their TFC Load-n-Watch bundles, hassle-free.”
