Kapamilya artist is new BNY endorser
Ever heard of the name Joshua Garcia? Well, if you did you’d be glad to know that the 18-year old Batangueño and alumnus of Pinoy Big Brother: All In in 2014 is the new image model of the popular clothing brand BNY.
The Star Magic talent was introduced to the press by the officers of BNY at a restaurant near ABS-CBN last week.
Born Joshua Espinelli Garcia on Oct. 7, 1977 in Bauan, Batangas, he had been seen after his Big Brother stint in shows like Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita, Luv U, two episodes of Maalaala Mo Kaya, an episode of Ipaglaban Ko, and Born for You.
He told the press, “I feel blessed to be given the trust to endorse BNY.” This is his first endorsement deal since he joined show business.
BNY Jeans was originally Bunny Jeans in 1992, but in 2001 it was redesigned for the teen market.

Melai finally escapes from abusive employers
Maricel successfully escapes from her abusive employers and is now with her son whom she has not seen for years in the Kapamilya afternoon series We Will Survive.

Latest trend in technology – 360-degree livestreaming
In this age of technology, it’s no longer enough that netizens watch an event online though video-streaming like in the case of Pacquiao’s fights and Ms. Universe pageants. The greater appeal lies in being able to witness the action as if they were actually present in the venue – from all angles.
This latest advancement is called 360-degree livestreaming, which involves a single web camera that allows an Internet user to go through a 360-degree pan around a venue while an event is ongoing.
This was first introduced in the country in February by GMA New Media, a subsidiary of GMA Network, for the coverage of the first leg of the COMELEC-mandated presidential debate organized by the Kapuso Network and Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Two months later, YouTube launched their own 360-degree livestreaming. In the past, the website was limited to pre-recorded materials. Facebook is also set to launch this option on their website in the latter part of the year.

Edray opens for Hailee Steinfeld
A young promising star was able to showcase her talent in front of a big crowd, and fronted shows for Hailee Steinfeld, an international artist and part-Filipino Hollywood star.
A leg of shows starting on April 8 at Eastwood Mall Open Park, April 9 at BGC Uptown Mall, Bonifacio Global City, and April 10 at Venice Grand Canal was made to support the singer’s debut EP “Haiz”.
Opening these shows for Hailee was the very young but definitely talented and MCA Music’s very own, Edray. She was able not only to witness these events but to also perform and share the same stage as Hailee’s.
Edray is a semi-finalist in the first season of The Voice Kids. She stunned every “Steinfeld” fan with her topnotch vocal prowess, and made every person sing along to her very catchy single “Puedepende”.
Her single was also part of Spotify’s top 50 viral songs garnering over 588k streams; even Hailee was impressed with the young singer’s voice and skills. The two eventually ended up having a selfie together that she also posted on her personal Instagram account and garnered over 113k likes.
“The experience was surreal to me! I still can’t believe it myself!” Edray shares her thoughts about her experience with her opening stint with Hailee. “I’m very thankful for this experience and none of these would have been possible if it wasn’t for MCA Music.” Beamed in the young singer, she also aspires to reach a larger audience like Hailee Steinfeld in the future. “I would love to sing to a bigger audience someday like Hailee, I really look up to her!” said Edray.
She is also working on an exciting collaboration for her next single which will be out soon. The “Puedepende” singer ensures her fans that what she’s cooking up in the studio with the veteran song-writer Jungee Marcelo is going to be a sure fun track.
Edray’s debut single “Puedepende” is included in the compilation The Hottest Pinoy Hits Ever available on CD’s at all Astrovision, Astroplus, and Odyssey stores. It is also available online via Spinnr and iTunes, and can also be streamed through Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and Guvera.
