Robi Domingo opens his family farmhouse to Star Studio Magazine

2010-04-18T04:24:00.001-07:00

Avid fans of MYX VJ/Giggerboy Robi Domingo are already familiar with his newly-built home in Quezon City. But for the first time, the young actor shows his family’s Big Ben Farm in Pulilan, Bulacan in Star Studio Magazine’s April issue. Apparently, it is where he spent most of his childhood before they moved to Quezon City years later. Owned by his her mother’s younger brother, the 12-hectare property boasts of a sprawling American-style farmhouse, a swimming pool, several ponds and pens for various animals like dogs, turkeys, peacocks, thoroughbred horses, and even an ostrich.

While Robi has developed a love for horseback riding, he shares that it’s not something he’s really good at. “My uncle taught me how to ride but I’m not that trained yet. Yung pinakamabait na horse ang pinapagamit nila sa akin kapag nandoon ako. They won’t let me ride my uncle’s horse kasi malaki tapos wild pa. Mabilis tumakbo!” But once you’ve seen the spacious grounds of the farm, it is easy to imagine why Robi used to visit the place three times a month prior his stint in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus two years ago. There are lots of fun-filled activities that they can do or they can simply lie back and relax inside the farmhouse’s airy and well-lit entertainment room. “Huling movie na napanood ko dun is yung Paranormal Activity,” he adds.

Find out more about Robi Domingo’s sweet escape away from the city in Star Studio Magazine April. Other celebrity homes that are featured in this issue includes Kuh Ledesma’s hacienda in Cavite plus Joem Bascon’s rustic hideaway in Antipolo.

MANILA, Philippines — I like reading books that teach me things about life — inspirational and self-improvement books. A favorite is “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. Another uplifting book is “Enter His Gates: A Daily Journey into the Master’s Presence” by Dr. Charles F. Stanley. This book was a birthday gift from (“Pinoy Big Brother” teen housemate) Rona Libby of Dumaguete. She’s religious. This book teaches you to be practical and to give each person his due. It allows you to hone your ideas and to let your true personality shine through. But first you have to be proactive.

Kapamilya stars 'Run for Change'..

2010-03-23T04:36:00.000-07:00

The biggest and brightest ABS-CBN stars spearheaded a movement that aims to encourage registered voters to be wise and vigilant in the coming May 2010 National Elections. The ‘Run for Change’ fun run was held early morning of Sunday, March 14, at the McKinley Hills in Fort Bonifacio where Kapamilya stars, participants of the ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs’ Boto Mo I-patrol Mo movement, and students raced to the finish line to show the public that we are all one in praying for an honest, orderly, and peaceful election this May.

Aside from sending out a very important message, all the stars also happily attended the event to be with their beloved peers. Given their respective busy schedules, it had been very difficult for all these stars to get together in one event, forget work for a while, and basically just have fun and catch up on each other. Fitness buffs were also excited to get all sweaty for a worthy cause.

This meaningful event was made possible by Star Magic’s Johnny Manahan and Keren Pascual and participants include Kapamilya stars like Piolo Pascual, Jake Cuenca and Diether Ocampo. The runners competed in two events, the three-kilometer race and the five-kilometer race. Winners in these categories were given medals through a ceremony at the Venice Piazza in McKinley Hills.

In the three-kilometer category, the girls who snatched the medals were Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 ex-housemates Gee-Ann Abrahan (3rd Place) and Beatriz Saw (2nd Place) and young star Heidi Griego (1st Place). Meanwhile the boys who conquered the finish line were Coverboy Jon Avila (3rd Place), and Giggerboys’ Robi Domingo (2nd Place) and AJ Perez (1st Place).

On the other hand the five-kilometer category were ruled by Carlos Agassi (3rd Place), Nico Antonio (2nd Place), Enchong Dee (1st Place) in the male category and Cheska Ortega (3rd Place), Gem Ramos (2nd Place), and Maricar Reyes (1st Place) in the female category.

Gigger Boys have issues with billing?

2010-02-26T18:39:00.000-08:00

The Gigger Boys’ Enchong Dee, Robi Domingo, AJ Perez, Chris Gutierrez, Aaron Villaflor, Dino Imperial and Sam Concepcion topbill Your Song Presents: Boystown which is directed by Lino Cayetano. Sila ngayon ang tinataguriang teen heartthrobs na nagpapakilig sa mga girls.

In the series, The Gigger Boys will play resident teenagers in Boystown, a social welfare facility which helps problematic young boys.

Robi, Enchong and Sam recently guested on The Buzz. There are rumors na nag-aaway daw ang mga fans dahil sa billing ng kanilang mga idolo. However, the three said there is no problem among them.

The boys are winners on their own. Enchong is a champion swimmer even before he joined showbiz. He admitted that he feels the pressure because he is one of the lead stars of the new series. “I love my job. I hope I will do well.”

Robi first caught our attention when he joined PBB Teen Edition Plus. Kahit busy sa kanyang career ay hindi pinababayaan ni Robi ang kanyang pag-aaral. In fact, he is a dean’s lister in Ateneo where he majors in Health Sciences. He is also one of the newest MYX VJs.

Sam was The Brightest Star for the Big Division of Little Big Star’s Season 1. He is also into stage acting and acted in plays like Sino Ka Ba, Jose Rizal? and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Sam is DepEd’s Youth Role Model and Spokesperson, Business Software Alliance’s B4USurf Campaign Official Spokesperson for the Philippines and World Vision’s Ambassador for Children.

Kaibigan, usap tayo muli!

Rica, ikakasal sa beach bukas..

2010-02-26T18:37:00.000-08:00

When Paano Na Kaya had its premiere at SM Megamall last Tuesday, just about all the co-stars nina Kim at Gerald sa ongoing series nilang Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo sa ABS-CBN were present.

Si Kris Aquino, gumaganap na mother niya sa serye, came with husband James Yap and son Baby James, who reportedly will also have a part in the TV series.

Kris interviewed Kim and Gerald live on SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon).

Gabby Concepcion, Kris’ lover and Kim’s father in Kung Tayo’y..., arrived late.

Naroroon din si Coco Martin, na popular na ngang talaga dahil the fans really chanted his name habang papasok siya sa sinehan.

Coco plays Kim’s brother naman in Kung Tayo’y...

Also present were Kim and Gerald’s fellow Star Magic talents Jake Cuenca and Aaron Villaflor.

Obvious na kaya nandu’n si Jake ay dahil kay Melissa Ricks, who plays a kontrabida in the movie.

Wala namang kasama si Robi Domingo nang dumating. Ditto with Ricky Davao.

Manliligaw ni Kim si Robi sa pelikula. Si Ricky naman ang lumalabas na ama nina Rica at Kim. Singer Karylle was also there, siguro to lend mom Zsa Zsa Padilla moral support.

Zsa Zsa plays Gerald’s pabayang mom in the movie. Later, however, naging mabait at ideal nanay na siya sa anak.

She even left her sweetheart (played by Guji Lorenzana), to prove to her son that she is serious na maging ideal mom.

Others in the cast of Paano Na Kaya? are Rio Locsin, Bernard Palanca, IC Mendoza, Cai Cortez and Empoy Marquez.

Bakit siya na-overwhelm?"Kasi yung parang iba po yung taping sa shooting, e. Iba po yung camera... yung angle niya. Lahat po iba."

Bukod sa apat na young stars, kasama rin sa cast ng Paano Na Kaya? sina Ricky Davao, Rio Locsin, Janus del Prado, Alwyn Uytingco, IC Mendoza, Jon Avila, Bernard Palanca, Cai Cortez, Empoy Marquez, Guji Lorenzana, with the special participation of Rica Peralejo and Zsa Zsa Padilla.Directed by Ruel S.

Robi Domingo, tanggap na ma-link sa mga baklita sa showbiz..

2010-01-25T06:25:00.000-08:00

Nakatutuwa naman ang mga binitiwang salita nitong si Robi Domingo sa harap ng press para sa movie niyang Paano Na Kaya? na pinagbibidahan nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson.

Kung ang ibang young actor ay ayaw o itinatago ang ma-link sa mga baklita na taga-showbiz, itong si Robi naman ay tanggap na ma-link siya sa mga baklita.

Alam n’yo ba na tinanong siya na kung hindi ba siya naiinggit dahil may Kim si Gerald?

“Hahanap na lang po ako ng ibang Kim Chiu,” sey niya.

Sa kanino naman kayang katauhan niya hahanapin ang isang Kim Chiu.

“Kay Direk Ruel (Bayani) na lang ako,” sey niya.

Alam naming hindi true ang sagot niya, pero nakatutuwa, dahil nga inosente siya sa kanyang mga sagot. Walang malisya para sa kanya ang mga sagot niyang ‘yon. Ibig sabihin nu’n, malinis si Robi, walang itinatago. Hindi siya katulad ng ibang artista na punung-puno ng lihim. Like? Ay, wag na…

ABS-CBN.com asks your favorite Kapamilya stars about their personal resolutions for 2010. Jake Cuenca: Siguro I’ll try to involve myself more in charity work. I want to be able to thank those people who supported me and also those who are less fortunate. Hindi lang sa 2010 pero sana mapagpatuloy ko sa mga susunod na taon pa. Matt Evans: Sinisimulan ko nang mag-work out at mag-diet. Hopefully next year makita niyo na ang sexier Matt Evans sa 2010. ‘Wag naman sa January agad, ha ha ha! Siguro mga March para timing sa summer. Tom Rodriguez: I remain grounded. Whatever happens I hope I can remain to be humble. Maraming nagre-remind sa akin na huwag lalaki ang ulo ko. I always tell them na hindi mangyayari ‘yun. I’ll want to make sure na mapanindigan ko ‘yun. I believe kasi na lahat tayo pantay pantay. Hopefully my views stay the same. Kaye Abad: Siguro magpapalaman ako nang konti kasi sinasabihan na ako na ang payat payat ko na, ang pangit na tingnan sa screen. Pumayat ako dahil sa sunod sunod na taping. Kadalasan ‘yung oras na dapat kumain ako e matutulog na lang ako. Plano kong magpalaman next year. Kaya lang tamad ako mag-gym. Siguro I’ll just eat the right food at vitamins para kahit papaano tumaba ako. Enchong Dee: Magsisipag na siguro ako mag-work out. Kasi lumalaki na ‘yung tiyan ko, ha ha ha!Robi Domingo: Wala pa akong maisip na resolution. I will just make sure na gagalingan ko pa sa bawat trabahong ibibigay sa akin.

Special places and surprises just for you..

2010-01-19T23:36:00.000-08:00

MANILA, Philippines – When TriNoma opened in Quezon City in 2007, QC residents (myself included) were elated that Ayala Malls was finally coming to their neighborhood. Now they didn’t have to go to Makati, a good hour and a half away in decent weekday traffic, for their favorite stores. Plus, the design of the mall was nothing seen before in this part of Metro Manila. TriNoma blends the best of leisure, entertainment and shopping offerings in a setting that elevates mall architecture and design.Quezon City is a diverse market made up of upper and middle-class families, students from the country’s top universities and high schools, MRT commuters, and, of course, celebrities.The big TV and movie studios are located only five to 10 minutes away, so it’s not a surprise that on any given day and at any given hour, you’d see celebrities walking around the mall, taking a breather from marathon tapings.Another young star that can be seen in the mall with his family or between tapings and classes at Ateneo is Robi Domingo, who’s currently taking summer classes as a prerequisite to his course, BS Health Sciences. A finalist on ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition and a Myx VJ like Nikki, Robi comes from a family of doctors. His mother is a pediatrician and his father is a surgeon. His long-term goal is to become a doctor, but in the meantime, he manages quite skillfully to balance his time between studying, sports, and his showbiz career. “When I’m in TriNoma, I eat, I get packages from Bench (which he endorses) Skechers, hang out with friends, watch movies with my brother Maro and just relax.”Having grown up in the Commonwealth area of Quezon City and studying in Ateneo on Katipunan Avenue, for him TriNoma makes for a convenient hangout with friends and family.“Dos amigos lang kami ni Maro,” he says of his 15-year-old sibling, whom he took out for a movie at the TriNoma Cinemas for his birthday. When he was about to enter Kuya’s House for Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition, Robi and his classmates watched a movie and “we said our last goodbyes in the mall,” he says with a laugh.Robi’s TV career includes celebrity guestings on variety shows like Pilipinas Game KNB?, The Singing Bee, Kapamilya Deal or No Deal, and Wowowee.Like Victor, Robi is also into sports — basketball, baseball and swimming.How is it that the young stars get to roam the mall without being mobbed? For one, the TriNoma crowd is not the mobbing kind and the two boys always wear a baseball cap, which they swear works.“I usually wear a cap and do my own thing,” says Robi. “By the time people recognize me, I’m far away from them already. I don’t mind that kind of attention. After all, I owe the people what I have now. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have been a Pinoy Big Brother finalist.”“All work and no play makes Robi a dull boy,” he says. “You have to count in leisure time in your schedule and malling is my leisure.”

Jessie Mendiola has no idea why Robi Domingo stopped courting her

2009-12-16T04:47:00.000-08:00

When Jessie Mendiola and Robi Domingo were still working together on Your Song Presents Boystown last summer, there were rumors that a romance was brewing between them. But when ABS-CBN.com caught up with Jessie during the Star Magic birthday presscon last December 9, she revealed that Robi is not courting her anymore. As a matter of fact, it’s not even clear to her if their closeness really went beyond mere friendship. “Nag-stop nga siya e. Kasi hindi ko alam na nanliligaw pala siya. Nanliligaw ba yung nagbibigay ng white flowers. Nanliligaw yun ‘di ba? Kasi yun ang favorite ko, white roses.”

Though she’s a bit confused why she and Robi grew apart, the young Fil-British beauty claimed that it’s all for the best since entering a serious relationship would only distract them from their other priorities. “Hindi ko naman siya dinededma. Naging close kami ni Robi kasi same kami ng interests and personality na nagdyo-joke out of the blue. But I guess hindi lang talaga nagwork out kasi I’m only 17 and he's 20.

Pero okay lang naman sa akin kasi ako din hindi ako ready magka-BF right now. Madami din akong inaasikaso sa school and sa work so hindi ko mapapagsabay-sabay. Mabre-break ko lang ang heart niya,” she explained.

Aside from Robi, the only other guy she’s comfortable with is Enchong Dee who was also her leading man in Boystown. When asked if the latter attempted to court her as well, Jessie said that he is more of a good friend to her than a potential boyfriend. “The way he treats me parang friend lang talaga. Kunwari magkikita kami, sasabihin niya agad, “Ano, kumusta na kayo ni Robi?’ Ganon siya. Tapos one time sa ASAP kumakain ako ang hirit ba naman, ‘Binigyan ka ng food ni Robi?’ Ako naman parang, ‘Hello, ano ba, ang kulit mo!’ Tapos talagang nagbibigay siya ng advice. Sweet si Enchong sa akin but in a friendly way. I don’t know kung meron siyang motive sa akin. Pero why not ‘di ba? Mabait naman siya,” she answered.

In the meantime, Jessie shared that she’s really excited because she’s going to start taping Kokey @ Ako on December 15. “Right now ginagawa ko yung Kokey @ Ako starring Angel Locsin and Vhong Navarro. I have also another project coming up pero hindi ko pa pwedeng banggitin. Siguro ang mabibigay kong clue, isa siyang show na kikiligin ang teens pati na rin matatanda kasi ito yung pagbabalik ng mga dati nilang idol.” Even though this means that she will be busy with work this holiday season, Jessie stressed that she has just started to enjoy life in showbiz and she is determined to grab the opportunities coming her way.

Catch Jessie Mendiola on Kokey @ Ako starting January 25, 2010 on Primetime Bida.

Robi, hindi apektado sa mga nagsasabing nawawala na siya sa sirkulasyon ng showbiz

2009-11-29T23:15:00.000-08:00

Hindi diumano apektado si Robi Domingo sa mga nagsasabing unti-unti na siyang nawawala sa sirkulasyon ng showbiz.

Sa aming panayam kay Robi sa presscon ng Star Magic World Concert Tour, Live in Manila ngayong Nov. 13 sa Araneta Coliseum, wala raw problema kung wala siyang regular shows sa ngayon.

Napapanood naman daw siya sa ASAP, MYX at Studio 23.

Katatapos lang ding gawin ni Robi ang isang episode ng MMK with Gerald Anderson and Rio Locsin. Kailangan din daw niyang tapusin muna ang kanyang kursong BS Health Science sa Ateneo de Manila University kung saan two and a half years na lang ay graduate na siya.

2009.10.25_Sun Star Daily: Mikee shares views on PBB Double Up

2009-11-29T23:11:00.000-08:00

Former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) teen housemate Mikee Lee posed concern about the recent task that required two sets of housemates to pretend that they are a couple.

"I was kinda alarmed about what they they were asking them to do. They were asking the housemates to act, make pretend that you're married, make pretend that you're a couple," he said.

"Because what they want to show in the house is not their own personality. 'Yung teleserye ng totoong buhay,' I'm scared that it might go overboard. I'm pretty concerned but I know that the tasks there are well thought of," he added.

But other than the initial concern, Mikee said the new twist brings out more of the competitive spirit of the housemates.

"You know that you have an opponent who will wake you up when you do something wrong," he said.

As compared to the PBB season where Mikee joined, the teen housemates only had to compete for one goal which would translate to budget for good.

"The competition is okay because personally, I really like competition. I really want a rival. In grades for example, I have to know what the valedictorian is doing so I can gauge it," he said.

When competition enters the picture, people can help but compare Mikee to Robi Domingo, a fellow Atenean who also became a part of the Big Four of the PBB Teen Edition that followed.

"Robi is a good friend. We're from the same school so I don't see why we have to be pitted against each other," he said.

They were even carpoolers in an outreach program when Mikee was in second year high school.

He thinks this is all because of the similarity in the image they exude.

"I guess in terms of image we just get mistaken for each other a lot but i'm sure that there will come a point when we'd do different things, to assert our identities more," he said.

Both Mikee and Robi are into hosting but Mikee said they are into different flavors of hosting.

Robi is a video jock in music channel Myx while Mikee hosts Y-speak on Studio 23 and Soul Mix in TV 5. He was also the host of now defunct television show Take Five in TV 5.

"Majority of the shows I hosted were puro advocacies. I'm happy because Y-speak is my dream show," he said.

Mikee also said that he tries to practice even if there's no show while he hopes that Robi gets better and better.

He also commends Robi's humility.

"Robi, I see him in school sometimes. It's good that he's humble despite the success. He's humble. I think that's the way it's supposed to be because in this business, those who become famous in an instant, it gets in our heads. We have some sense of entitlement," he said.

Robi Domingo explores his dramatic prowess in ‘Maalaala Mo Kaya’...

2009-11-02T05:41:00.000-08:00

Robi Domingo takes on a dramatic role in Maalaala Mo Kaya where he plays as the sympathetic brother of Gerald Anderson who has Tourette Syndrome (TS, a serious illness characterized by physical and vocal tics). Since it’s his first time to guest star on the country’s most prestigious drama anthology, he describes how different it is from his experiences in Your Song Presents Boystown (2009) and My Girl (2008). “Medyo teenybopper kasi yun. Light drama pero may halong kilig at funny scenes. But in this MMK episode, kada labas ko sa camera, sobrang bigat ng eksena,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN.com.

This true-to-life story aims to show how family members deal with the odd behavior and moods of a patient with TS. Viewers can expect to see some heartbreaking scenes which will showcase the dramatic prowess of Robi and Gerald. “Maraming iyakan kasama ng pamilya. Kaya ang preparation ko dun, nagbaon ako ng sibuyas,” he joked. “Yung totoo niyan, para mamotivate kami sa set, may music na nakakaiyak na paulit-ulit pini-play. Nakikiride na lang po ako sa iyakan,” he cheerfully added.

Robi further shared that this brief stint gave him a chance to bond with Gerald. “Una kaming nagkakilala sa My Girl last year. Pero siyempre dahil bagong-pasok lang ako sa showbiz nun at kadalasan magkaiba naman kami ng unit, wala masyadong opportunities na magkatrabaho talaga. But this time, nagkataon na sa apat na magkakapatid sa story ng MMK, ako yung pinakaclose sa kanya. Ok naman, sana magustuhan ng audience ito kasi siguradong may bago silang matutunan lalo na tungkol sa TS,” he related.

Aside from MMK, Robi is also very happy that he’s still part of the MYX family this year despite the new set of winners from the recently-concluded MYX VJ Search. As it is, he has always been worried that his one-year contract wouldn’t be renewed way before he learned about this good news. “Sobrang kinabahan ako these past few weeks. Hindi lang kaming previous winners, pati rin sila Ate Nikki (Gil), VJ Luis (Manzano) and everyone else, kinabahan. Walang sinabing criteria kung paano pinili. But I think I did a great job naman. You know how much I love hosting sa MYX so I’m thankful na kasama pa rin ako,” he beamed.

As for other TV projects, Robi says that given a chance, he’s willing to do a cameo role in Katorse where four of Star Magic’s young talents have bloomed into lead star material. “Payag ako lalo na ngayon sembreak naman, so lahat ng raket pwede kunin. I’ll be back in school on November 9 pa naman po so kaya namang malagay sa schedule ‘yan kung saka-sakali.” But he says that he would rather stick to his wholesome image for now than pursue daring roles like most of his fellow young stars. “Depende pa rin yan siyempre kung ano yung hinihingi ng script. Ang pagpapasexy naman iba-iba ng atake yan. Pero siguro I’m better off with pang-teens muna tutal twenteen pa lang naman ako ngayon,” he grinned.

Robi Domingo is determined to stay in showbiz for a long time...

2009-11-02T05:40:00.001-08:00

After his last acting project in Your Song Presents Boystown, Robi Domingo will play the younger brother of Gerald Anderson in an episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya. But while waiting for his next project, Robi keeps himself busy as a VJ for MYX music channel and as a mainstay of ASAP ‘09 every Sunday with the Star Magic dance group Gigger Boys. In an interview with ABS-CBN.com, Robi said that he is not worried that he has no regular acting project at the moment. “Hindi naman ako masyadong worried sa ngayon na wala akong regular show. I’m still studying (he’s taking up Health and Science at the Ateneo De Manila University) so habang walang taping pag-aaral muna ang pinagtutuunan ko ng pansin. May MYX pa naman ako so okay lang and ASAP with the Gigger Boys. Siguro magwo-worry na lang ako kapag graduate na ako sa school and by then wala pa ring project na sinasabi.”

This 20-year old acknowledges the fact that staying in showbiz is a challenge for any star. But Robi is confident that his talents will keep him in the industry for a much longer time. “Sa dami na ng artista ngayon mahirap na talagang magkaroon ng stable career. That’s why the challenge is to always enhance your caliber as an artist, whether it is [in] acting, singing, dancing, or anything. So now I’m continuously improving my craft sa dancing and hopefully sa acting din. Malay niyo soon kumakanta na ako, ha ha ha! Seriously, ngayong semestral break plano kong mag-voice lessons. I can play the piano and guitar na, I can also write songs. Maganda kung lahat magagawa ko.”

Robi is just thankful that he is still a regular VJ in MYX one year after winning in the VJ search. He told ABS-CBN.com that this is the job which he enjoys very much. “I’m very happy na tumagal ako sa MYX and sana maraming years pa ako makapag VJ dito. Ang dami kong natututunan, plus it very fun. Hindi rin kasi biro ‘yung mag-host in front of the camera, mag-spiel ng mahahaba. It’s not as easy as it looks on TV.”

After finishing second place in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus last year, Robi auditioned for the MYX VJ Search. Starting out with barely any hosting experience, Robi was proud of his major improvement after being a VJ for a year. “I’ve stopped stuttering, ha ha ha! I’ve learned to organize my thoughts. Mas relaxed na ako ngayon. Dahan dahan na ‘yung pagsasalita ko kaya mas madali nang mag-spiel. Especially sa My MYX na nagbabasa ako ng mga Tagalog requests. Ang pangit naman kung lagi kang nabubulol.”

Is Robi Domingo still hung up on Kim Chiu?

2009-11-02T05:34:00.000-08:00

Nakakwentuhan ng ABS-CBN.com si Robi Domingo sa press conference ng mga bagong MYX VJs na sina Nel Gomez at Janine Ramirez. Si Robi ang isa sa mga nanalo sa MYX VJ Search noong nakaraang taon, samantalang sina Nel at Janine naman ang nanalo this year. Isang taon matapos ang kanyang panalo ay isa pa rin si Robi sa mga most watched VJs ng MYX.

Inalam ng ABS-CBN.com kung ano ang plano ni Robi sa darating na Pasko. Ibinihagi naman niya na dream niyang makalibot sa iba’t ibang Asian countries tulad ng Thailand, Singapore, at Hong Kong kasama ang kanyang pamilya. Nang tanungin kung ano ang nais niyang makita around Asia, diretsong sinabi ng binata na, “Hahanap ako ng kamukha ni Kim Chiu, ha ha ha!”

Hindi na nagpapigil pa ang ABS-CBN.com sa pagusisa kung hanggang ngayon ba ay matindi pa rin ang pagkagusto ni Robi kay Kim. Noong housemate pa lang kasi sa Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus si Robi ay vocal na siya about his admiration for the first Teen Big Winner. Sumakay naman ang binata sa usapan sa pagsabing, “Kailangan na sigurong humanap ng iba. Dapat nang maka-get over. Hindi naman porke nabakuran na [ni Gerald Anderson si Kim] e titigil na ang mundo ko. Kailangan humanap ka na ng iba.” May mga chismis na may secret relationship na nga ang magka-love team na sina Kim at Gerald ngunit pareho nila itong itinatanggi, at wala rin naman daw alam si Robi kung ano ang totoo.

Napipintong mag-krus ang landas nina Robi at Gerald para sa taping ng isang episode ng Maalaala Mo Kaya. Si Gerald ang magiging bida at si Robi naman ang gaganap bilang nakababata niyang kapatid Hindi kaya sa set ng MMK ay nagkaroon ng tensyon kina Robi at Gerald dahil kay Kim? “May one time dati magkatabi kami ni Gerald. Kakausapin ko na siya, nag-iisip ako ng mapag-uusapan namin. E sa TV na nasa harapan namin, ipinalabas ‘yung commercial ni Kim. Tumagilid na lang ako, nilabas ko ‘yung cellphone ko kunwari busy ako. Sabi ko sa sarili ko hindi naming pwede pag-usapan si Kim. Nahiya tuloy ako kay Ge, ha ha ha!”

Nakatrabaho na ni Robi sina Kim at Gerald noon sa teleseryeng My Girl, pero hindi naman masyadong nakaporma si Robi sa chinita actress. Gusto ni Robi na makasama uli ang Kimerald love team sa isang proyekto. Pero nang tanungin kung gusto ba niyang si Kim lang ang makasama sa susunod na project, ang sagot lang ni Robi ay, “A project with the two of them na lang. Mahirap nang maintriga,” sabay tawa. Makailang ulit nang sinabi ni Robi noon na mataas ang respeto niya sa Kimerald love team at wala siyang planong gumawa ng anong hakbang na ikasisira ng nasabing tambalan.

Hanggang sa ngayon ay hindi pa nagkakaroon ng girlfriend si Robi. May ilan nang niligawan ang 20-year-old Ateneo De Manila student pero wala pa raw sumasagot sa kanya. Ngayon ay mukhang pahinga muna ang love life ni Robi dahil gusto niya munang mag-focus sa kanyang pag-aaral at sa showbiz. Mapapanood si Robi bilang VJ sa MYX at tuwing Sunday sa ASAP ‘09 bilang member ng dance group na Gigger Boys.

Magic for A Cause' garners P3.4M after a night of fashion glitz and glamour...

2009-11-02T05:31:00.000-08:00

The Magic for A Cause was a huge success even with only a week to organize a full scale fashion show featuring the best and brightest Star Magic artists clad in various designer labels. First on the runway were the endorsers of Bench Pinoy Lab which includes Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Jake Cuenca, Shaina Magdayao, Enchong Dee, Robi Domingo and the youngest ramp model Zaijan Jaranilla. Leaving no doubt to the audience as to who are the hottest celebrities to date. Pokwang was also a crowd favorite because everyone was expecting her to do a comic stunt while being escorted by the dashing Giggerboys. But she seriously strut her stuff instead and looked like a professional model in a classy gender-bender suit.

Perhaps the most eye-catching of all was Gretchen Barretto in a very sexy gown which has side slits on its bodice. La Greta was the last to grace the catwalk together with Piolo, Kim, and Gerald who also wore the fabulous designs of Inno Sotto. Making the night more fascinating were the special song numbers by the ASAP stars including a duet between Laarni Lozada and Jed Madella, a solo performance by Richard Poon, and an all-star finale led by Piolo Pascual, Diether Ocampo, Angelica Panganiban, Maricar Reyes, Bea Alonzo and Sam Milby among others.

It was worth all the effort because a total of P3,407,000 were raised for the charity event with Bench and Coca-Cola Foundation donating P1M each. Other companies and prominent persons who also made a generous contribution were the following: Ultra Mega Supermarket (P500,000), Globe Asiatique (P200,000), Proctor & Gamble (P100,000), Mayor Rey Uy and the government officials of the Municipality of Tagum City, Davao del Norte (P100,000), and Liza Gokongwei (P50,000).

On the other hand, P222,000 was garnered from the guests namely, Jacobina Haw (P100,000), Melvin Chua ($5,000), Edgar Mangahas, Jose Tan of Toyota San Fernando, Rowena Tomeldan, Daisy Chua, Tina Aquino, Ideal People Model Management, Cathy Bengzon, Nikki Valdez, Violeta Luna, Leo Katigbak, Avinash Uttamchandani, and Anne Cusi.

Since donations in kind were also welcome, Robina Gokongwei-pe pledged 50 sets of cookware; P2M worth of clothes from Jewels, and more garments from the boutique of Mykee Atelier (brother of Maricel Soriano). Kris Aquino also guaranteed to give all the royalties of Baby James from their We Are One Album as well.

All these proceeds would be given to Sagip Kapamilya which continuously helps the typhoon victims in the country.

Watch out for the exclusive showing of Magic for A Cause on TFCNow very soon!

Kapamilya Karavan at Kadayawan

2009-11-02T05:23:00.000-08:00

Stars indeed rained during the recent Kadayawan Festival as ABS-CBN flew in its popular crowd-drawer stars last Saturday.

Filling up the Gaisano Mall to the rafters, Anne Curtis, Gerald Anderson, Coco Martin, Matt Evans, Melissa Ricks along with stars that elicit screams and swoons from the teens like AJ Perez, Enchong Dee, Chris Gutierrez, Arron Villaflor and Robi Domingo, made the city's celebration more memorable.

The Kapamilya stars gamely met the local media in a press briefing before the show. It Gerald and Coco were their usual laid back self as they expressed their wishes to do more dramatic roles in the future.

However, Gerald says that he is getting the dream roles that he always wanted as of now. Coco, meanwhile says that his exposure to doing indie films has harnessed his acting prowess. Too bad Anne Curtis was not around during the tet‚-a-tet‚ with the stars.

The Gigger boys were sure lots of fun to interview. Without any affectations, they cracked jokes and teased each other with gusto.

Fans all trooped to the venue, enduring the tight-packed elbow-to-elbow crowd, heat and humidity, just to glimpse their favorite Kapamilya stars.

Surely, most of them went home tired but happy and wanting for more shows to come in the future.

Stars 23: Who will stardom bless?

2009-11-02T05:20:00.000-08:00

MANILA, Philippines - Dozens and dozens are discovered year in and year out but, sob and sigh, only a few are chosen; only the truly talented stay long in the race.

On the occasion of The STAR’s 23rd anniversary, we drew up a list of the 23 probables out of the hundreds waiting on the wings. Who will stardom bless?

Paulo Avelino — Living up to his title as StarStruck Avenger, the tall, chinito Paulo has proven that he is destined to be a star; that showbiz is not only a playing field for winners but also for runners-up like him. He has shown his acting chops in Dapat Ka Bang Mahalin as good boy-turned-deranged lover of Kris Bernal and now in All My Life as her model admirer. With his arresting oriental looks, Paulo can play lead roles and be the face of brands for men.

Dominic (right) and Felix Roco — They are two peas in a pod. Dad Bembol Roco has passed on his acting genes to his twins, Dominic and Felix. They started in ABS-CBN’s youth-oriented TV series Qpids and crossed over to GMA 7 with Fantastikids. The Roco brothers can do light romance, comedy and drama. Felix has tried his hand in indie films, playing a teen who wants to pass the University of the Philippines College Admission Test in UPCAT and someone escaping a dictator mayor in Cinemalaya’s Engkwentro. Dominic, on the other hand, is part of Chito Roño’s masterpiece Dagaw.

Chris Cayzer — He is a dead ringer of Francis Magalona. Chris wowed everyone with his John Mayer vocals and acoustic music few years back. Besides performing in S.O.P., Chris acts in All My Life where he plays Aljur Abrenica’s musician-friend. Before that, he guested on Kapuso shows like Dear Friend opposite Ryza Cenon. His mestizo looks and thick Australian accent make him ideal as Prince Charming in Cinderella-inspired stories.

Ejay Falcon — The Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Big Winner has won the sympathy of the public with his heart-wrenching life story as a boy growing up in the care of his adoptive parents. The hardships and struggles Ejay experienced at a young age will hopefully bring out the emotional, sentimental side of his character in the TV remake Katorse where he stars with Erich Gonzales.

JC Tiuseco — Being in the limelight is not new to this San Sebastian student, he used to walk the ramp and bare his to-die-for bod in fashion shows before the showbiz bug bit him. Survivor Philippines was his passport to the entertainment scene. After becoming the Sole Survivor, televiewers have seen the tall, dark and handsome JC in shows such as Unang Hirit and Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat sa Akin. With his first acting foray in Kung Aagawin, one can say that there’s more to JC’s gorgeous face.

Enchong Dee — He is RP swimming team’s loss but local tinseltown’s gain. His moreno color and tip-top shape will tell everyone that he was the country’s representative to sports competitions like SEA Games and Asian Games. He still has the endurance, discipline and competitive stance of a swimmer. It is not surprising why Enchong remains visible on TV via My Girl, My Only Hope and Boystown. Enchong can also give Vhong Navarro a run for his money in hip-hop and contemporary dancing.

Carlo Guevara — He caught the attention of the viewing public via the model search Be Bench. Although he has a well-defined body, his irresistible smile and amiable mien make you adore him and want to bring him to mom. Carlo has shown his knack for acting in Ligaw na Bulaklak, My Only Hope and Lipgloss.

Gab Valenciano — He is a spitting image of his talented father Gary Valenciano. Like Gary V., Gab dances and choreographs (moves) well. This is shown in S.O.P. and Shall We Dance?

Joem Bascon — In some angles, he can be mistaken for Piolo Pascual. But when you give him a juicy role like the jobless seaman in Sanglaan (Pawnshop), what you see is a dedicated actor giving his all for a convincing performance. Joem is seen weekdays in Precious Hearts Romances Presents Bud Brothers.

Victor Aliwalas — His American accent makes everyone think that he is half-Pinoy. The truth is Victor is Pinoy at heart. He just migrated to the US. His hunky image and acting talent will make him a good leading man. Victor recently starred in SRO Cinemaserye with Jennylyn Mercado, Nadine Samonte and Yasmien Kurdi.

Matteo Guidicelli — He is a champion kart racer used to driving his way on the fast lane. Racing, however, is not the only thing Matteo knows. He can sing. It must be the Cebuano in him. We see Matteo host and perform in S.O.P. To further his talent in performing, Matteo studies musical theater.

Kevin Santos — Like Paulo Avelino, Kevin is a StarStruck Avenger. His early exit in the artista search didn’t dampen his spirits to pursue a career in showbiz. He has guested on GMA 7 programs and shown his acting mettle in Maynila. Kevin is a potential character actor. He will soon be seen in Darna and Show Me the Manny.

Erich Gonzales — In the almost four years after she clinched the Star Circle Quest 2 top spot, Erich has displayed the qualities of a good actress in film or on TV. She initially appeared in ABS-CBN’s teen-oriented show Abt Ur Luv. The Kapamilya network also allows her to appear in the episodes of TV5’s Midnight DJ and GMA 7’s Maynila. Erich will shine more as televiewers get to see a different side of her soon in Katorse, a remake of the ‘80s film which starred Dina Bonnevie.

Alex Gonzaga — Be it fantasy, comedy or drama, expect Alex to get anyone’s attention as she delivers, scene after scene. That’s why she changed her name from Cathy to Alex after leaving a mark as a fashionista in the now defunct Let’s Go on ABS-CBN. She also starred with Kim Chiu in My Girl. Like her sister Toni, Alex gets to sit down with celebrity guests as host of TV5’s Juicy and perks up afternoon TV viewing with showbiz buzz.

Regine Angeles — After being named Be Bench female grand winner, there’s no stopping Regine from showing what she’s got in the acting department. She caught televiewers’ interest in shows like Palos with Jake Cuenca, My Girl and My Only Hope. Her short acting stint in Tayong Dalawa was as impressive as that of lead stars Kim Chiu and Alessandra de Rossi. She is currently in the cast of TV5’s Lipgloss.

Megan Young — Who would ever think she can veer away from the sweet image when she played Ruffa Gutierrez’s aggressive sister in I Love Betty La Fea? Megan played Marcella so naturally, one wouldn’t think she initially had a hard time doing the role — the total opposite of her personality. Her classy aura also makes her an ideal host of Studio 23’s lifestyle show Us Girls.

Queenie Padilla — Her action scenes don’t come as a surprise anymore, since she’s Robin Padilla’s daughter. Like her dad, Queenie is into martial arts and can beat the bad guys. What’s also amazing is she pulled off her role in Totoy Bato, her first acting assignment, without any hitch.

Jackie Rice — Given her acting talent, Jackie could have been earning much more these days hadn’t she become pasaway after winning in the artista search. But things are different now. Jackie seriously has been buckling down to work since GMA 7 gave her another chance. She stars in Kung Aagawin Mo ang Lahat sa Akin. Her beauty, whistle-bait figure and milky complexion landed her on the cover of Maxim’s July issue.

Sheena Halili — GMA 7’s StarStruck found a gem in her as she can do whatever the role calls for. She may be Katrina Halili’s scheming friend in Marimar, but Sheena can also be kikay as segment host of Pinoy Records and Carla Abellana’s best friend in Rosalinda. Sheena can also be emotional as she has proven in one of the episodes of Maynila. Could Sheena do action scenes? What if GMA gives her a solo show? Let’s wait and see.

Stef Prescott — The StarStruck Avenger has proven her right to be in showbiz through her acting in various TV shows. She has also starred in two movies. She also graced the covers and pages of fashion magazines. She is currently seen in All My Life.

Ryza Cenon — While her acting affects everyone, her moves on the dance floor also make everyone groove to the beat as well. Definitely, she is a talent on the rise.

Robi Domingo — He is a model to the youth as he juggles showbusiness and studies. On TV, the Pinoy Big Brother Second Placer is VJ Robi playing everyone’s favorite songs and videos and counting down the Top 10 hits. He is a pre-Med student off-cam religiously attending lectures and beating school deadlines. Boystown shed Robi’s good boy image by casting him as a spoiled, rich brat.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS..

2009-11-02T05:12:00.000-08:00

Hands slapping, jeers and cheers, and just out of this world laughter were how I spent lunch with five members of Gigger Boys, the newest teen group of Star Magic, the talent pool of ABS-CBN.

Nothing could have been more true than the adage that boys will be boys, celebrities or not, Atenistas or La Sallites.

To begin with, they are all boys composed of AJ Perez, Enchong Dee, Robi Domingo, Chris Gutierrez and Arron Villaflor.

It all started with discussions as to why Ateneo keeps on beating La Salle at the UAAP, only to realize that the blue bloods were out-numbered by the green blooded (?) - no pun intended - by 3 is to 1.

Enchong, AJ and Chris are all from La Salle while it is only Robi who comes from Ateneo.

"Go to your corner, Robi," AJ said jeering at Robi Domingo. "He's the only one out of place in our group, he even dances in the corner lang."

Good natured Robi merely shakes his head saying, "We will keep on winning."

It was also over lunch that the group's name was revealed to be actually an abbreviation for "God is Great, Gets Everybody Rocking."

"First we are boys, and we always have gigs," AJ said.

ROBI DOMINGO LOVES READING...

2009-11-02T05:07:00.000-08:00

MANILA, Philippines - Robi Domingo joins Nikki Gil and Chris Tiu as the latest celebrity endorser of the National Book Development Board’s Get Caught Reading Campaign.

Everyone remembers how Robi was introduced to stardom and how, a few days short of his summer break, he graduated from high school along with fellow batch 2007 housemates inside the PBB house. But was that hundred-day period of round-the-clock surveillance really a crossroads for Robi? Did he have to choose, after being offered multimillion peso deals, between school and showbiz?

Apparently not. Robi says, “Ateneo is a big part of who I am, not only because it factored greatly in my involvement in showbiz, but also because of the schooling I have received from it since I was a little boy. I look up to the many Ateneans who are also on TV and in the movies, yet manage to keep their grades high, like Chris and Nikki who do a lot more than me. Dropping out of school altogether was out of the question.”

2009.10.12_pep.ph (N. Almo): Star Magic artists walk the ramp for typhoon victims

2009-11-02T05:05:00.000-08:00

"It's really a magical night!" said Vina Morales about the outcome the two-hour benefit fashion show of Star Magic called "Magic For A Cause."

The fashion show last night, October 11, at the Studio 10 of ABS-CBN turned out really well even with only a week of preparation. The stars of the Kapamilya network's talent arm became models for a night for the A-list of designers who showcased their creations to the invited guests.

Piolo Pascual, who did the finale with actress Gretchen Barretto, said it was a blessing to be part of such cause-oriented event.

He related, "I think being part of Star Magic, we were able to come up with our show to promote, of course, 'yong relief operations ng ABS-CBN. We were able to gather donations from our endorsersments, from our sponsors. I guess it served its cause. It's nice to be part of the very meaningful event."

In a separate interview, Sam Milby said almost the same thing about working together as a "family" to help the victims of typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng.

The Fil-Am actor-singer told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), "It's a family effort to help out 'yong mga kababayan natin in need. I'm very happy about the outcome, of course. We raised over three million, so maraming families that we were able to help out with this show."

Other Kapamilya stars who wore the designer's collection for this charity event were Diether Ocampo, Bea Alonzo, Pokwang, Chokoleit, Erich Gonzales, Angelica Panganiban, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Rafael Rosell, and Shaina Magdayao.

Matt Evans, Robi Domingo, Enchong Dee, AJ Perez, Dino Imperial, Kian Kazemi, Xian Lim, Guji Lorrenzana, and Joem Bascon graced the event by wearing fasionable men's apparel.

Malaysian actress Carmen Soo joined local female celebrities, like Melissa Ricks, Megan Young, Dimples Romana, Dionne Monsanto, Cassandra Ponti, Wendy Valdez, and Maricar Reyes, to name a few.

Singers Jed Madela, Laarni Lozada, and Richard Poon also shared their talent to entertain the guests while fashion models did their thing on the catwalk.

Meanwhile, the fashion designers featured in this event were Inno Sotto, Randy Ortiz, Joey Samson, Francis Libiran, Black Label, Patrice Ramos-Diaz, Oskar Peralta, Bang Pineda, Lulu Tan Gan, Cary Santiago Joey Samson, Marlon Rivera, Tonichi Nocom, Renee Salud, Frederick Peralta, Puey Quinones, Jun Escario, Avel Bacudio, Jojie Lloren, Bang Pineda, Josie Natori, among others.

Young Designers Guild, Fashion and Design Council of the Philippines, and Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines also cooperated in this event.

Mr. Johnny Manahan, head of Star Magic, was ecstatic about the outcome of the event. He said, "Magic For A Cause was truluy magical. In less than a week, we put up a superb fashion show with the best directors, models, makeup artists, and 80 of the top Star Magic artists, and we were able to raise millions. Magic yun!"

GENEROUS DONORS. The network's goal in putting up such event was successfully achieved as it raised an ample amount of money from generous donors for the typhoon victims.

As reported by Vina and Piolo, cash donations during the event reached up to P152,000. While days before the event, a Kapamilya insider revealed to PEP that about four million pesos cash and three million worth of in-kind donations were turned over to ABS-CBN Foundation's Sagip Kapamilya, which distributes the relief goods to the different areas affected by Ondoy.

Among the donors were Summit Media president Lisa Gokongwei-Cheng and sister Robina Gokongwei-Pe, Globe Asiatique president Delfin Lee, Julie Lim of Ultra Mega Supermarket, government officials of Tagum City, Davao del Norte, Procter and Gamble, Coca-Cola Foundation, and Mr. Ben Chan of Bench.

Sagip Kapamilya program director Tina Monzon-Palma was overwhelmed by the support of different private sectors, and had called their acts of generosity as "extraordinary." She added, "You would be surprised with the kind of generosity that we have received."

On the other hand, ABS-CBN Foundation managing director Gina Lopez assured all the donors that every single centavo of their donation will be spent wisely and distributed to the beneficiaries.

She related, "I'd like to inform all of you, in Sagip Kapamilya, we're working very, very hard. We set up many trucks a day. We service about 10,000 families a day and our efforts are really going areas, which are far flung and which nobody has service. We have today almost 3,400 families."

Ms. Lopez also thanked the Star Magic talents who have been very supportive of their cause for Ondoy victims from the very start. She said, "I wanna thank the stars because they have been going together with the trucks in doing relief services. Our effort is to use every single centavo well and we wanna save some money, and get some money to rehabilitate people."

Robi Domingo eager to work with scriptwriter Ricky Lee someday

2009-07-18T07:29:00.000-07:00

by Bong Godlinez

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus runner-up Robi Domingo was not even born yet when award-winning scriptwriter Ricky Lee was toiling over the script of what would turn out to be the critically acclaimed film Himala (1982).

Himala—without overlooking his impressive filmography and other writing achievements—arguably is Ricky's masterpiece as a storyteller.

To beef up the special edition release of Ricky's anthology, Si Tatang at Mga Himala ng Ating Panahon, the highly-respected scriptwriter included the screenplay of Himala, complete with pictures never seen before and anecdotes by some of the major players in the making of the film.

Si Tatang at mga Himala ng Ating Panahon was first printed in 1988. Last May 31, the book was re-issued with updates and new materials at the Powerbooks in SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.

ROBI, THE FAN. The book launching was well attended by personalities in the field of show business, arts, and literature.

To make the event more special, Ricky invited some of his celebrity friends to read excerpts from the book to give the public a taste of what to expect.

Young actor Robi Domingo, 19, was personally invited by Ricky to the occasion, together with veteran actors Ricky Davao, Ogie Alcasid, Chanda Romero, Vangie Labalan, Jean Garcia, and heartthrobs Dingdong Dantes and Angel Locsin.

A self-confessed fan of Ricky Lee, Robi told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during the event: "First of all, it's Ricky Lee, so bakit hindi ako sasama? Tapos I love reading books, especially 'yong mga books ni Ricky Lee. Kasi for the past events, kasama niya po ako sa book launching. So, suki na suki niya na ako."

Robi has never worked with Ricky in any project but he experienced the scriptwriter's brilliance first-hand in several workshops.

"Simply the best," he replied readily in describing Ricky as a mentor. "Simply the greatest scriptwriter of all time... Yung Himala niya, patunay 'yon."

Robi's showbiz career is still young and the prospect of working with Ricky in the future excites the MYX VJ and Gigger Boy no end.

"In the future, I'm really hoping to work with him," confessed Robi. "Kahit anong film 'yan, kahit anong event, kahit 'tong event na 'to ulit-ulitin hindi ako magsasawa."

Robi Domingo: 'Goodbye Kim Chiu, hello Sarah Geronimo'

2009-07-18T07:17:00.000-07:00

by Rachel Siazon of ABS-CBN.com

Sarah Geronimo is halfway through her The Next One concert tour around the Philippines and it has been a huge success so far. Many people just couldn't help but admire her wholesome personality and undeniable talent once she takes center stage. More so for Robi Domingo, who shares that being one of her special guests in her out-of-town shows is definitely an exhilarating experience. 'She's really nice, very perky, and upbeat. Hindi ko alam kung nasa Zamboanga ba kami nun pero minention niya yung name ko during her concert. Sabi niya, 'Ang cute-cute naman ni Robi!' [after ata nung dance number ko]. 'Di ba parang, sabihin lang niya yung pangalan mo, tapos magbigay ng ganung klaseng comment, grabe talaga yung feeling,' he says in an interview with ABS-CBN.com.

Since the adorable Giggerboys member has already learned some great moves in the dance floor, he is looking forward to the day when they could finally perform a dance showdown together on ASAP or any other outside event. 'Sobrang enjoy ako dun sa concert niya. Just standing with Sarah onstage or kahit katabi ko lang siya, it's a great privilege already. How much more kung makasama ko pa siyang mag-perform on the dance floor. Iba yung impact na yun,' he reveals. Does this mean he prefers Sarah now over his longtime crush Kim Chiu? 'Ngayon since si Kim busy kay Gerald, Sarah na muna. Although Rayver Cruz, John Lloyd Cruz, at Mommy Divine ang mga kalaban natin diyan,' he jokingly adds.

Apparently, Robi is done courting a non-showbiz girl whom he has set his eyes on way before his stint on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus. But if there's one girl who's being romantically linked to him these days, it's no other than his former Boystown co-star Jessie Mendiola. Apparently, they were once spotted in a restaurant near ABS-CBN looking like a sweet couple an occasion which the young heartthrob didn't deny. 'Hindi na ako magtatago. Pumunta kami sa Bannaple kasi sabi ko kay Jessie, 'Have you tried out Bannaple in Tomas Morato' Kasi sa Katipunan meron.' Papatikim ko sana yung the infamous Banoffee pie. [Nung pinaalam ko sa] mommy niya, okay naman daw. So pinatikim ko sa kanya yung pies nila dun,' he explains.

When prodded about the real score between them, Robi admits that Jessie is his number one celebrity crush at the moment and a romance between them is certainly possible. 'Naku, kino-corner ninyo ako ha! Maaari, since we're really really close. We're good friends, kami ni Jessie. Of course we see each other every ASAP. Look at that face (points at a picture of Jessie on the internet)' Sino hindi maiin-love diyan?' he stresses. 'She's very nice, she's got looks, wit, I am single and she's single, so why not?'

First Day of School Memory: Grade school, medyo payat pa ako noon. High school, medyo mataba ako kaya inaasar nila ako na tabain daw ako. In college, I was the bald kid with the name. I was overwhelmed with everything after PBB. People kept staring at me. Pagpasok ko ng school lahat sila nakatitig at nakangiti.

Qualities you like in a girl: She has to have the looks, the talent, the passion, and the sweet caress. And of course, her being Pinay kaya dapat may X Factor.

Most Embarassing Moment: You can YouTube this and key in The Coconut Ride and you'll see my whole stunt there. Nag-swing ako, having fun. Hindi siya yung parang swing. Isang tali lang siya tapos nakatali sa tree. Biglang umikot ng umikot hanggang sa humampas ako sa trunk. Nahulog ako at kitang-kita sa cam. My dad took it. Tapos, pinakita ko sa class for a project. Nilagay ng mga classmates ko sa online.

Most Memorable PBB Experience: The BigNight. To be frank, nominated ako five consecutive times so, akala ko, pagdating namin sa Araneta, fourth runner-up na lang ako. I don't know. May magic na nangyari siguro kasi lagi akong nase-save. Akala ko first ako, pero second pala ako. Okay lang kasi dahil doon, andito na ko sa MYX.

Nastiest thing you did in school: I got into fistfight when I was in grade school bacause this guy kept teasing me and saying I had three chins. I was that fat back then. Sabi niya: 'Ang taba taba mo! Mukha kang Banaue (Rice Terraces). 'Ayun, hinamon ko siya ng sapakan. Thankfully, di naman ako na expel.

If you were a baon, what will you be and why?: I'll be your juice. I can replenish your thirst.

Contents of your school bag: Folder, pens, calculator, and my notebook.

Sweetest thing you've done for a girl: I've had two instances. First was with this girl whose school bus always passed by for her in Katipunan at 5:30 a.m. everyday. One time, since gusto ko siyang makita, I woke up at 3 a.m. to bake some brownies. Tapos, hinintay ko siya doon (to give her the brownies). The second one was in Ateneo, which had the Bukas Palad Choir. I invited some members of Bukas Palad to go to a girl's house to sing Harana and Seasons of Love.

You are afraid of: I am afraid of enclosed spaces. I am claustrophobic.

If you are not a VJ, you will be...: I think I'll be 'gigger'-ing with the Gigger Boys. Maybe acting and showing off my body through modelling. He he he. I'll still be a doctor. I'll be dancing, singing, and modelling doctor.

Robi Domingo believes sex is sacred from PEP.ph by Rommel Placente

2009-05-08T00:01:00.000-07:00

Nakausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Season 2 runner-up na si Robi Domingo sa presscon ng bagong weekly drama show ng ABS-CBN na Your Song Presents Boystown.

Inamin ni Robin na at the age of 19 ay virgin pa siya. Hindi pa raw siya nakikipagtalik sa kahit kaninong babae, kahit nakipag-fling na rin naman siya sa isang non-showbiz girl. Ang pinakamatinding nagawa lang daw niya sa girl ay ang yakapin ito.

Para kasi kay Robi ay sacred ang sex. Kaya gagawin niya lang daw yun sa babaeng mapapangasawa niya.

"I think that act for me is very sacred. And ibibigay ko lang yun sa tunay na minamahal ko," sabi ni Robi.

Kung ganyan ang paniniwala ni Robi tungkol sa sex, ibig ba niyang sabihin ay virgin din ang gusto niyang mapapangasawa?

"Siyempre po, very conservative po kasi ako," sagot ng binata.

What if makipagrelasyon na siya tapos ay mahal na mahal niya yung girl, pero malalaman niya na hindi na pala ito virgin? Makikipaghiwalay ba siya sa girl?

"Well, let's see. Let's see kung mahal ko talaga. Siyempre, love will dominate everything," sagot ni Robi.

RICHEST GIGGER BOY? Sa Boystown ay ginagampanan ni Robi ang papel bilang si Arkin, isang anak-mayaman. Sinasabing kaya raw ibinigay sa kanya ang role ay dahil sa totong buhay pinakamayaman siya sa Gigger Boys. Ano ang reaksiyon niya rito?

"Ha, ako raw ang pinakamayaman sa grupo namin?" natatawang reaksiyon ni Robi. "Hindi naman po ako ang pinakamayaman at hindi ko rin naman po sinasabi na mayaman kami. Siguro ang puwede ko lang pong sabihin ay nakakakain naman ako kahit paano ng tatlong beses sa loob ng isang araw.

"Siguro kaya po sa akin ibinigay yung role, sa tingin siguro nila ay mukha talaga akong anak-mayaman. Joke!" tawa na naman ni Robi. "Well, hindi ko po alam bakit sa akin nila ibinigay yung role, kung bakit ako ang napili para gumanap sa role na Arkin.

"Saka hindi naman po ako rito basta mayaman, e. Me pagka-bad boy rin po ako rito. So, ibig po bang sabihin kaya binigay sa akin yung role dahil sa totoong buhay ay bad din ako? Good boy naman ako, di ba?

"Actually, yung role ko sa Boystown is very different sa real personality ko. Panoorin n'yo na lang po yung show namin sa May 10 para malaman ninyo ang sinasabi ko. Pero gusto ko yung role ko, challenging siya," saad niya.

Makakasama ni Robi sa Boystown ang kapwa niya Gigger Boys na sina Enchong Dee, AJ Perez, Aaron Villaflor, Dino Imperial, Chris Guttierez, at Sam Concepcion. Ito ay mula sa direksiyon ni Lino Cayetano at magsisimulang mapanood sa May 10.

Gigger Boys immerse themselves in Boystown

2009-05-07T05:33:00.000-07:00

"Boystown is not a prison," pointed out director Lino Cayetano. He will be helming the upcoming Your Song Presents Boystown starring Enchong Dee, Robi Domingo, AJ Perez, Chris Gutierrez, Aaron Villaflor, Dino Imperial and Sam Concepcion. Collectively known as ASAP's Gigger Boys, these young men immersed themselves in the real Boystown in Marikina to have a "feel" of the place.

"At first medyo hindi pa clear yung idea ko kung ano talaga yung Boystown, kaya itong workshop-immersion namin ay malaking tulong para mas maintindihan ko at namin kung ano talaga ang sinasabi nilang Boystown," said Enchong .

Robi voiced out: "Akala ko nga noong una, juvenile delinquents ang mga nakatira sa Boystown, pero hindi pala."

The boys brought items as giveaways to the real boys of Boystown as they also interacted with the kids who were residing in the said area.

"Malaking bagay na ma-immerse muna sila sa lugar. Makakatulong kasi yun sa pag-portray nila sa character nila sa series," observed Direk Lino.

Catch the Giggger Boys in a different light in Your Song Presents Boystown, which will air soon on ABS-CBN.

Robi shed "good boy" image in Your Song Presents : Boystown by Nerisa Almo

2009-05-07T05:23:00.000-07:00

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus first runner up Robi Domingo is excited for the premiere of his new regular show, the mini-series called Your Song Presents: Boystown on Sunday, May 10.

The 19-year-old MYX veejay also expressed how happy he was because he's not only doing a guest role in this show. It can be remembered that as Vincent, Robi had a short appearance in the Philippine adaptation of the Korean drama series My Girl, which topbilled the young loveteam Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson.

"Expect Vincent from My Girl to evolve to Arkin na," said Robi when asked what viewers can expect from him in this show, after the press conference of Boystown last night, May 5, at the Party Venue in Scout Tuason, Quezon City.

The incoming second year college student described his role as something that's very different from his real personality. "Alam niyo naman ang image ko medyo goody-goody boy. Dito, medyo salbahe ako, maangas, at makikita nila na palagi akong nakasimangot," he added.

Do you think you can pull off such character since it's exactly the opposite of yourself?

"Sana, sana," he answered. "Sa tingin ko dahil bago, sana I hope ma-deliver ko ang role ni Arkin perfectly. Okay naman sabi ni Direk Lino. Pero I know, since bago pa ako, there's still room for improvement. But I'll do whatever it takes to be a good actor."

WORKING WITH GIGGER BOYS Aside from having his first regular TV series, Robi is also grateful that he will be working with his fellow Gigger Boys namely Enchong Dee, Sam Concepcion, Dino Imperial, AJ Perez, Aaron Villaflor, and Chris Gutierrez.

"I'm very honored na kasama ko pa 'yong dance group namin sa ASAP '09 and nawala na 'yong barrier na, 'Uy, bago kong makakasama 'to so mahihiya ako o mate-threaten ako dito,'" said Robi.

Although there will be seven actors who will topbill the show, he clarified that they will be given equal parts in this mini-series.

He explained, "Lahat naman kami dito masasabi kong bida kasi we have our own plot. Ako lang kasi ang nasa harapan kasi ako 'yong katunggali ni Enchong. Wala namang issue sa amin kung sino ang lead role, sino ang cameo role lang, ibang plot."

The young celebrity also cleared that there will be no personal rivalry between him and Enchong Dee, since Arkin will be a villain to the former's character. "Enchong and I, we're good friends. We support each other lalo na sa rehearsals, nagpapaturo ako sa kanya, minsan nagpapaturo siya sa akin."

He even described how close he is to his groupmates, "Ayos naman kami, wala namang inggitan, wala namang kahit anong away."

Catch the all-male dance group Gigger Boys in the TV adaptation of the 1981 movie Boystown in Your Song Presents this Sunday, May 10, after ASAP '09.

Is there a brewing romance between Robi Domingo and Jessie Mendiola? by Rachelle Siazon | May 02, 2009 9:44 PM

2009-05-04T05:41:00.000-07:00

Incoming second year college student Robi Domingo is happy that he was able to  make the Dean’s List at Ateneo even though he is juggling school and showbiz at  the same time. “Let’s just say that I am really happy with my status in Ateneo.  It helps that the people around me are very supportive. Not only my family but  even the people I work with. You just have to balance everything. Kung talagang  gusto mo ang isang bagay gagawin mo lahat para maabot yun. And have fun doing it  kasi kung hindi mo gusto yung ginagawa mo maapektuhan lang din nun yung  performance mo,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN.com.

Aside from  being a MYX VJ, Robi has landed his first starring role in Your Song Presents  Boystown, where he plays the archrival of Enchong Dee, his fellow Gigger Boys  member and former My Girl co-star as well. “What’s good is that I am going to  work with people na nakakasama ko na saASAP. Pero siyempre iba naman yung  pagsasayaw sa acting kasi with Enchong, nung una parang ang hirap sabayan kasi  para sa akin Enchong Dee ‘yan eh. Paano ko ba sasabayan yung langoy niyan sa  showbiz compared to me na baguhan pa talaga. So I’m really thankful to ABS-CBN  for giving me the chance to prove myself. Ako naman I am trying to do everything  I can para magampanan ko yung role ko,” he explained.

The two are going  to fight over a girl played by Jessie Mendiola from Star Magic Batch 15, who  incidentally is rumored to be romantically involved with Robi in real life. When  asked if he’s courting the pretty mestiza, the young heartthrob refused to  answer and simply remarked that she is definitely girlfriend material. “Sino ba  ang hindi magagandahan kay Jessie? Maganda siya, sobra. Ang galing ng casting sa  Boystown. But let’s just say na we’re good friends.” What he likes most about  her though is the fact that they really jive off the cam. “Pinakagusto ko sa  kanya yung pagiging palaloko niya. Kahit na corny yung jokes mo sinasakyan.  Kahit anong sabihin ko tatatawa siya,” he revealed.

Does this mean he has  forgotten about the non-showbiz girl that he has been pursuing for quite some  time already? “All I can say is that I am happy with my life right now. Yun na  lang muna,” he added with a smile.

Robi Domingo: ‘I think I now have the capacity to act.’ by Napoleon Quintos from ABS-CBN.com

2009-04-22T05:26:00.000-07:00

After taking on a guest role last year in My Girl, Robi Domingo is up for a lead role in Your Song Presents: Boystown which will also feature his fellow Gigger Boys Enchong Dee, Dino Imperial, Sam Concepcion, Arron Villaflor, AJ Perez, and Chris Gutierrez. At the story conference of the upcoming weekly drama, Robi exclusively told ABS-CBN.com that despite his nervousness about it, he believes he is finally ready to venture into acting. “The truth is, when I was told I will be in Boystown, naramdaman ko uli ‘yung kaba na naramdaman ko when I was told na I was supposed to do a major role in Underage (the role eventually went to Matt Evans). I asked, ‘Wow! Sigurado ba kayo?’ Ngayon medyo may apprehensions pa rin naman ako. Pero after ng My Girl, nag workshops naman ako, so I think I now have the capacity to act. Not just acting na parang wala lang but really professional and artistic acting.”

From the time he emerged as the crowd favorite and the second Teen Placer in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus, Robi’s showbiz career has really taken off. He became a Bench image model and the first Filipino endorser of Nokia mobile phones. This Ateneo Health and Science student also became a MYX channel VJ.

In Boystown, Robi will play a character that is very far from his real personality. “I’m Arkin, the rich boy. Seloso siya, sakim sa pagmamahal. Maiingit siya kay Arnel, played by Enchong. May girlfriend ako dito but I take her for granted, like with everything else sa buhay ng character.” The 20-year old talked about how he plans to go about the challenge of portraying a character who, unlike him, had an unhappy childhood and has a lot of angst. “Mukhang mahihirapan nga ako sa paghanap ng paghuhugutan for my character. Siguro kukuha na lang ako from the stress I get from school and showbiz. I will harness all those emotions to portray my character.” But is Robi ready to be perceived by his fans as the troubled Arkin? “Sa tingin ko hindi naman siya dark. May reason lang why he acts that way. Siguro kung magkaka-negative reaction ‘yung mga tao kapag napanood nila, ang sasabihin ko is wait for the ending. Subaybayan niyo ‘yung character ko until the end para makita niyo ‘yung development.”

In a recent appearance on Entertainment Live, Robi revealed that he finally has a non-showbiz girlfriend. But in a later conversation with ABS-CBN.com, this cutie clarified that he is still unattached though he admitted that he goes on casual dates when he has the free time. “I’m seeing someone lang. Pwedeng masabing exclusively dating. The girl, we’re good friends. Hindi naman officially I have a girlfriend. Siguro I’m just a young man who falls in love, goes on dates. Let’s just wait and see kung saan pupunta ‘to.”

Robi Domingo - The Most Popular PBBTEP Housemate

2009-04-16T01:48:00.000-07:00

Although Robi Domingo (The True Blue Atenean) ended up as 2nd Teen Placer in the recently concluded Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus, he is currently the most popular housemate and he’s ready to enter the upcoming love triangle with Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson.

Bio

Full Name: Robert Marion Domingo
Nickname: Robi
Origin:Quezon City
Age: 18
Birth date: Sept 27, 1989
Height: 5′9
School: Ateneo De Manila University
Nationality: Filipino
Favorite cartoon character: Homer Simpson
Favorite subject in school: Religion, Social Studies, Tulong Dunong
Least liked subject in school: English and literature
Favorite sport: Baseball, track and field
Favorite summer/vacation destination: somewhere cold like in Baguio
Hobbies/Interests: Running; playing with younger bro, friends, and family
Ultimate celebrity crush: Elisha Cuthbert

Being a housemate, Robi has to forego his high school graduation and the chance to receive his award for excellence personally. Living up to being a man for others, though, he considers the chance to be a housemate a worthy compromise, not because it may be a claim to fame but as an opportunity to be a good influence to others.Aiming high, he hopes to follow in his father's footsteps and pursue a career in medicine. A member of the baseball varsity and the honor roll as well, it seems all is set for Robi. One thing he can't seem to get the hang of, unfortunately, is his love life. He got dumped both times he tried courting a girl, though he's really persistent in pursuing the second. Too bad they don't teach Courtship (Anti-torpe) 101 in high school.

Robi Domingo reacts on controversies surrounding the MYX VJ Search by Rachelle Siazon from ABS-CBN.com

2009-04-16T01:43:00.000-07:00

Joining a reality show such as the MYX VJ Search is like Pinoy Big Brother all over again for ex-teen housemate Robi Domingo. The only difference now is that he becomes self-conscious when in front of the camera. For one, talking to a multitude of viewers takes a while in getting used to especially for a newbie like him in hosting. But as usual, Robi’s sense of purpose once he has set his mind on something drives him to give this competition his best shot.

Nothing will stop him from pursuing his goal to become a VJ even amidst other people’s criticisms. Apparently, there are those who are saying that he shouldn’t have been a part of MYX VJ Search because he doesn’t really need it, that his budding career as an actor/model is already enough. “Iba-iba naman yun eh. Everyone has a right to pursue their dreams right? I want this thing so I'll compete for this thing,” he exclaimed in an interview with ABS-CBN.com yesterday. Once again, his detractors are making a big deal out of his privileged status in life just like what happened during his supposed rivalry with Ejay Falcon in PBB Teen Edition Plus.

“Compared sa kanilang lahat (MYX VJ Search finalists) ako lang ang walang backround sa hosting eh. Sila, to be honest, almost everyone is a DJ and a host there so yun talaga yung profession nila. Ang sa akin lang, yun ang edge ninyo, so ‘eto naman ang sa akin. Kanya-kanya lang ‘yan,” he said in reference to his showbiz stint.

Rather than stressing himself out with those controversies though, the young heartthrob concentrates on accomplishing all the difficult challenges of the competition. “Yung pinag-spiels kami in the middle of Quiapo, I guess yun yung pinakamahirap. Nung na-realize ng mga tao na may shoot kami dun, pinagkumpolan kami dun sa harap mismo ng black Nazarene. Yung MYX staff nahirapan talaga sa pag-control ng crowd. Ang ginagawa ko na lang is to protect my fellow VJ finalists,” he recounted.

The former My Girl star admits that being a witty and natural host is definitely no mean feat. “Mahirap siya sobra lalo na kung impromptu. You have to make your own hirits and birits. Pero the good thing is na-enhance na yung spontaneity ko,” he beams. Add to his oozing charm and dashing looks, Robi is truly giving the other strong contenders a run for their money. “Ayun, I just wish that all my friends and supporters will help me fulfill my dream to become a host like Kuya Luis (Manzano),” who happens to be one of his biggest idols in the industry.

Robi Domingo talks about the love of his life by Rachelle Siazon from ABS-CBN.com

2009-04-16T01:42:00.000-07:00

There was a reason why former Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus housemate Robi Domingo refrained from being romantically involved inside the PBB house; it’s all because of a special girl whom he has been courting for quite some time now. Though he still refuses to give details about this non-showbiz girl, the young actor has been very vocal about his feelings and his determined courtship of her.

During his birthday blowout with the talented kids of BatasanElementary School, ABS-CBN.com asked Robi if one of his birthday wishes was to finally make the girl say “yes” to him. But the certified hottie was quick to clarify that such a crucial decision is out of his hands. “It’s something different kasi eh. Sa mga wishes ko before, talagang alam kong matutupad kasi controlled ko yung circumstances for them to come true. In that case (his courtship of the girl) kasi, paghihirapan yun eh and it doesn’t depend on my wishes alone. The choice is entirely hers to make,” he explained. With his dashing looks and newfound fame, he could easily take his pick from probably hundreds of willing ladies out there. But the self-confessed romantic stressed with a smile, “Hindi, there’s a reason for everything. Let’s just wait and see.”

In the meantime, the birthday celebrant shared his three wishes for himself: to have a soaring career, to become a successful doctor someday, and a very personal wish which he wanted to keep to himself. “Sana lumago pa (his showbiz career), sana hindi lang mainit ngayon kundi kumukulo na sa susunod,” he exclaimed. Robi is still surprised with the fact that a lot of online fans are in awe of him. “Overwhelmed talaga ako kasi it’s a new thing for me kasi. Lagi ko naman sinasabi na sa totoo lang hindi pa (rin) nagsisink in sa ‘kin lahat ng ‘to,” he added.

When prodded about his plans to have his own love team just like what Nicole Uysiuseng and Josef Elizalde have, Robi made some biggest revelations. “Siyempre may mga natitipuhan din ako sa showbiz kaso lang sana matupad yung pinapangarap (kong) makapartner,” he remarked. Having previously revealed Kim Chiu as being his crush, is Robi open to courting a fellow celeb if things don’t work out with the girl he is currently wooing? “I’ll be loyal pero let’s see. Kung ‘di mag-work out, (I’ll) explore the possibilities,” he divulged. Since his ideal girl is “someone who has wit, looks, passion for work, and a striking wow factor,” does he think Kim happens to possess such qualities? “Well kung ano na lang sa tingin ni’yo,” he grinned.

Robi Domingo feels being responsible isn’t only for grown-ups by Rachelle Siazon from ABS-CBN.com

2009-04-13T05:11:00.000-07:00

Can you imagine Robi Domingo becoming a priest instead of the young heartthrob-slash-rising star that he is now? Lots of girls will surely die from heartbreak if it comes to that but such a scenario is not really next to impossible according to the ex-PBB teen housemate. “When I was a kid, dalawa lang ang pinupuntahan ko parati: simbahan at saka school. Sa school naman, makikita mo lang ako sa classroom, cafeteria, and library,” he divulged to ABS-CBN.com.

Though he never wished to become a man of the cloth, most of his trusted mentors in AteneoHigh School used to urge him to enter priesthood. “I was in third year high school nung sinabi nila na pwede ito’ng mabait na bata na ito. Natawa lang ako kasi ‘di ba, bakit nila ako gusto mag-pari, papagalitan ako ng nanay ko. And naii-imagine ko pa si Robi junior eh,” he admitted with a laugh.

No one can deny though that this True Blue Atenista truly upholds good values worthy of his position as youth spokesperson and consultant of Department of Education. But aside from learning how to become a ‘Man for Others’ from his Alma Mater, Robi mainly thanks his parents for his admirable upbringing. “Lumaki ako na marunong maglinis ng bahay. My father wakes me up in the morning to wash the cars. Tinuruan nila kasi kami ni Maro (his younger brother) maging versatile and independent,” he further shared.

Involving him in the household chores though has made him a better person and closer than ever to his family. In fact, living on his own has never crossed his mind as opposed to what the usual teenagers hope to experience once they are old enough to do so. “Gusto magka-apartment on my own? Never. Hindi naman sa ano ha, kasi if you’re living alone, lalo na kung nandyan pa naman parents mo, parang sinasabi mo na hindi ko kayo kailangan. Sa akin kasi dito (sa bahay) ako kumukuha ng strength sa kanila. Sa family talaga nagsisimula or makukuha yung fulfillment ng isang tao,” Robi exclaimed. His parents also served as his role models while growing up to the point that he decided to follow their footsteps in pursuing medicine as a field of career as well.“Sa school nga kung may dissection ng palaka, ako na gumagawa lahat. Pati puso pinaglalaruan ko,” he added.

How come he joined PBB when in fact he can’t wait to practice medicine? “Yung nanay ko pumilit sa akin para makabawi daw ako sa kanya. Actually pangarap daw niya kasi mag-artista,” he quipped. Seriously though, his mom Dr. Mary Ann encouraged him to try out, knowing that he would excel not only in school but even in the world of show business as well. “It’s not easy balancing my time for school and work. Usually sa school na ako nakakapag-aral lalo na nung My Girl na talagang inu-umaga yung tapings. But I won’t give up schooling. Iba pa rin kapag nag-aaral ka kasi mas paniniwalaan ka ng tao, kumbaga meron ka’ng credibility,” he proclaimed.

A day in the life of Robi Domingo by Rachelle Siazon from ABS-CBN.com

2009-04-13T05:03:00.000-07:00

Sem break has just started and Robi Domingo is happy to share that he did well in his first semester in college despite his newfound career as an actor-model. After his stint in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus, there have been a lot of changes in his life, including the fact that he can no longer spend his vacation with nothing to worry about. So what is a typical day for Robi these days? How does he spend his spare time? Find out as ABS-CBN.com follows him around for a whole day.

7 to 10 am, AteneoHigh School

After dropping off his brother Maro at school, Robi proceeds to the chapel to hear the daily mass. Then he approaches Father Eli and some students to goof around for a bit before excusing himself from the ABS-CBN.com crew to make a private confession.

Afterwards, he takes ABS-CBN.com on a tour of his favorite hangouts which includes the Campus Ministry Office (where his good friend and teacher Brother Jomari tells us that Robi almost joined the priesthood), the cafeteria, the field where he used to play baseball (his favorite sport), and the “Post” area where misbehaving students are required to stay for hours at a time. Not that Robi has ever been given that particular punishment during his high school days, but he only dropped by to say hi to some of the faculty. His boy-next-door charm has also apparently won over even the typically strict security guards.

But as much as he misses the simple life of a high school student, Robi is happy that he’s past the stage of being trapped in the classroom the whole day, just like the bored HS boys who comically scream his name when we passed by.

10 am to 12 nn, Home Sweet Home

Robi and his family just moved into their all-white dream house in a quiet but peaceful subdivision about a month ago. But his hectic schedule hardly gives him time to enjoy their spacious two-storey house complete with pool. In fact, he didn’t even know that they had an outdoor shower room near the pool area when StarStudio Magazine featured the house in its October issue. And he’s yet to discover the purpose of the understated cupboards upstairs.

No one else is at home when Robi shows ABS-CBN.com the house (even their trusty caretaker Manang had an appointment with a dermatologist). Unlike in their old townhouse, Robi and Maro now have their separate bedrooms. But years of habit and a secret passage through their closets mean Maro often ends up in Robi’s room, using the phone extension there for hours. When his brother takes over the phone and the bed, Robi ends up sleeping on the floor which he says he doesn’t mind.

Robi eagerly plays for us some of his favorite classical and modern songs, including Second Hand Serenade’s “Fall For You” (which he dedicates to his special someone) on the piano and Parokya Ni Edgar’s “Harana” on guitar. Later on, his three pet dogs (a chow-chow, a Maltese, and a mini-pinscher) beg for his attention so he gladly plays with them for a while before set out for lunch.

12 nn to 3 pm, Lunch and shopping at Trinoma

While eating heartily at a Japanese restaurant, Robi shares how his handler Luz Bagalacsa has filled his sem break with lots of activities, events, and special occasions to attend so he needs to pick up some new clothes. After enjoying a filling lunch, Robi orders an Angus burger for takeout (what for, you’ll know as you read on) from an American fast food joint before heading to the Bench boutique where he bumps into former My Girl co-star and fellow Bench endorser Gerald Anderson. The two briefly catch up in between requests of photo-ops from awestruck students before Gerald has to leave. Robi meticulously looks for shirts and sweaters that fit his casual style. He soon makes his way to the cashier but first he gamely mirrors Gerald’s pose in a Bench poster.

3 to 3 pm, Flowers and a burger for Robi’s special gal

“It’s not about the flowers, but the intention,” says Robi after admitting that he hasn’t learned what’s the favorite flower of the girl he’s been courting. This happens to be his first time to send flowers to someone other than his mother, Mary Ann.

Looking excited and nervous at the same time, he looks through the flower shop’s catalog of floral arrangements to see what suits the love of his life whom he describes as the “perfect girl.” But as usual, he remains elusive about her identity and even asks the shop clerk to keep their transaction confidential. He orders half a dozen white roses (to convey his pure intentions and sincerity) to be delivered at the girl’s house together with her favorite food which happens to be the burger Robi bought earlier. Robi believes that the old adage that “the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” also applies to women.

3:30 to 4 pm, Pinoy Big Brother House

Aside from using its convenient reserved parking space, paying homage to the big yellow house has been part of Robi’s routine whenever he’s in the vicinity. “Masarap lang bumalik sa pinanggalingan. Literally, [in-apply ko] yung Filipino saying na, ‘Ang ‘di tumingin sa pinanggalingan ay ‘di makakarating sa paroroonan.’ At saka I promised naman them (PBB staff) na every time I go to ABS-CBN that I’ll pass by here,” he explains. True enough, PBB Operations Manager Billet Sanggalang quips that Robi always makes a pest of himself there. But it’s pretty clear that the staff is happy to see that Robi has stayed the same long after his stint as a teen housemate.

4 to 5:10 pm, ABS-CBN compound

Robi has to record his updated KRing for his KText at the ABS-CBN Interactive offices where he meets the whole ABS-CBN.com. A current MYX VJ finalist, Robi takes the ABS-CBN.com crew to the MYX offices and the ABS-CBN Publishing offices next door. His naturally warm and friendly manner is greeted with smiles by those he meets and even the security guards seem to know him well.

5:10 to 7 pm, fetching his mom

It’s rush hour by the time he picks up his mom Mary Ann from her office at SSS (Social Security System) where she’s a resident doctor. Though she was ready to go home by 4 pm, she didn’t seem to mind that Robi came an hour late. As Robi’s self-confessed number one fan, she gives him her all-out support and understanding when it comes to the demands of the business.

Robi’s mom proudly shares stories about her oldest son as well as the challenges of spending quality time with him and Maro. Arriving home, mom Mary Ann gives ABS-CBN.com a more detailed tour of the house while offering some refreshments and a relaxing chat.

7 to 8 pm, ABS-CBNTalentCenter

Since he wasn’t able to catch his handler at the Star Magic office earlier, Robi returns to ABS-CBN to fix his calendar of activities. Though tired from doing errands the whole day (as he has been doing in previous days), Robi still opens up about matters of the heart and the things he’s willing to do to impress a girl.

Then he switches to serious mode while listening to handler Luz update him about his upcoming engagements. Afterwards, he drops in on an ongoing workshop of Star Circle Batch 16 and some of his ex-housemates Valerie Weignmann, Alex Anselmuccio, and Ejay Falcon.

For the last stop, he brings ABS-CBN.com to the MYX studios where he hopes to be after the MYX VJ Search Finals on October 21. He reveals that he would really feel heartbroken if he loses the chance to be a VJ on his favorite music channel.

8 pm, home again

Robi finally calls it a day and heads home.

Just the right amount of fame was all they wanted, but these cool VJs are getting more than what they had wished for…

For many young people, being a VJ is the next best thing to being an actor.

Why so? ‘Veejaying’ supposedly gives them the freedom to be creative, the opportunity to mingle with showbiz celebs, and the exposure to achieve just the right amount of fame. But there is a lot more to this job than acting cool on TV, and the glamorous lifestyle they supposedly live.

Though boning up on music and pop-culture trivia is a must for any job applicant, it is also important to come up with ideas that will get the young viewer’s attention.

“You really have to know your music and how to connect with people,” says 25-year-old MYX VJ Drei Felix. “Being articulate will help a lot but the backbone is if you’re comfortable with yourself and your knowledge in music. You should know what you’re talking about.’’

Being a VJ is something that Drei feels strongly for. “I hold the record for the most number of auditions on MYX. I auditioned five or six times, and this was even long before they had a VJ search,” he admits.

A graduate of AB Interdisciplinary studies from Ateneo de Manila University, Drei started appearing on TV commercials before venturing into acting on TV and movies. His father would have wanted Drei to follow in his footsteps and join the corporate world but he says he enjoyed the art of communicating more. He eventually shifted from acting to hosting, landing a stint as an ABS-CBN sports reporter and a radio DJ for Jam 88.3.

Today, Drei considers this the best job in the world – that is after two years of interviewing local and international artists, covering countless music events including the most memorable one for him, watching the Queen of Pop, Madonna live in her “Sticky and Sweet” concert tour.

“The main thrust of MYX is to promote music, particularly local music, 24 hours a day and seven days a week,” explains Drei. “That sets MYX apart from the others. We have so many shows that a lot of young people can relate to. And if you’re a music lover, you’ll definitely love the music channel. Every Filipino kasi may music inclination yan eh. That’s why all the KTV and karaoke bars work here in the Philippines. Mahilig kumanta ang Pilipino. With MYX pa it has the lyrics,” he ends.

BECOMING A VJ

A fresh new batch of talents, wit and charm, new MYX VJs Bianca Roque, Monica Yncierto, Chino Lui Pio and Robi Domingo admit that becoming a VJ is a dream come true.

Robi is no stranger to TV being a former Pinoy Big Brother Teen housemate and has appeared in a number of TV shows. Juggling school, acting and his new job as a VJ, he explains that they actually all complement each other.

A freshman at the Ateneo taking up Health Sciences, Robi plans to pursue medical school in the future. “But to be honest it’s hard to balance it with my studies because sometimes I don’t sleep at all. Sometimes taping ends at 5 a.m. and I have to go school at 7 a.m. My parents want me to be Superman,” he relates.

Chino Lui Pio is a familiar face to music video fans as he has already appeared in Hale’s music video “Kahit Pa.” Although growing up in a musically-inclined family, (his father is composer Nonoy Tan and his brother is no less than Hale’s lead vocalist Champ), Chino cannot see himself in a band or performing. He would rather be a ‘’messenger of music, ’’ a VJ in short!

“I can’t sing, but I can distinguish good music from bad ones. That’s why sometimes ako pa nga ang nagbibigay kay Champ ng new stuff, new bands to listen to,” says this 22-year old Business Management graduate from De La Salle University who also recently opened a clothing line business with his friends.

Self-confessed fashion addict Bianca is busy putting together a new line of street wear with her friends, aside from “VJ-ing” on the side. “Eversince I was a kid I really love fashion. My mom would tell me when I was five years old, I would go out to her parties wearing her heels, her accessories, her lipstick,” says the 23-year-old Fashion Design graduate from College of St. Benilde.

Bianca was shocked when her name was called as one of the winners of the MYX VJ Search late last year. “Because I have a super bad case of stage fright. Anything that involves public speaking make me shiver like crazy. So, I didn’t really expect to win,” she says.

On her first taping day she got so nervous that she seriously considered quitting. “I really made a big fool out of myself. Right there and then I just wanna quit. My colleagues even had to talk me out of it,” reveals the former flight attendant. But she figured that she should just face her fears, and good thing that she did. Bianca is now enjoying every moment of it. “It’s part of being young,” she says.

Meanwhile, 20-year-old Monica brings a wealth of experience, education, and enthusiasm to her new role as a VJ. This Psychology graduate from University of San Carlos in Cebu is an events host and a radio DJ. Equally passionate about analyzing people and pop culture, Monica is ready to offer a well-informed perspective on everything, from her fascination about people and issues to the latest music trends.

Monica has this advice to those who want to follow in her footsteps: “Especially for those who think that it is too big a dream, that it’s not for me. I felt that way before. Just go for it. You’ll never know until you try it.”

Ibinalik na naman pala si Matt Evans sa Your Song Presents Under-age bilang leading man ni Melissa Ricks.

Supposedly ay papalitan na siya ni Robi Domingo dahil magko-concentrate raw ito sa The Return of Pedro Penduko.

But it turned out na hindi rin pumuwede si Robi dahil sobrang busy rin daw nito sa mga endorsements at mga events.
Puno na raw ang schedule ng young actor kaya muling ibinalik kay Matt ang role.

Sa March 1 naman naka-schedule na mapanood ang Under-age na remake ng movie noon nina Dina Bonnevie, Snooky Serna at Maricel Soriano.
Medyo bitin nga lang dahil one Sunday lang daw ito mapapanood at hindi na gagawing mini-series.

Bukod kay Matt at Melissa, kasama rin sina Empress Schuck, Lauren Young, Aj Perez at Rafael Rosell.

Robi Domingo has even more things lined up for him by Bernie Franco | February 12, 2009 9:01 AM | Share this article

the GIGGER BOYS

There’s no doubt that Robi Domingo is one of today’s busiest showbiz newcomers, being a VJ, actor, endorser, and a student all at once. He admits that his packed schedule’s a killer but he shared with ABS-CBN.com how he manages to keep things in check. “When you're happy and when you’re ‘loved’ and I’m not saying [being loved by] the fans lang… and when you are in the zone to do things, you feel that you’re invincible and you can do anything. I just feel [like] it right now,” he revealed.

Robi was also recently introduced as a member of the all-male Star Magic dance group Gigger Boys along with Enchong Dee, Sam Concepcion, Arron Villaflor, Dino Imperial, and AJ Perez. Although Robi confessed that he is not really a dancer by heart unlike the rest of the Gigger Boys, he said that he practices hard to keep up with them. The 19-year-old ex-Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus housemate also confirmed that he is doing an upcoming teleserye very soon.

For now, Robi tries to enjoy every minute of his career, especially when he feels inspired. “When people are inspired, they can do anything. Right now, I really am,” he admitted. He confirmed that the non-showbiz girl he is courting is one of his sources of inspiration, but he refused to divulge further details.

Robi said that his efforts to become spiritual also help him manage his hectic schedule. “You just need a little time for Him, the Big Boss. You might say I’m kind of spiritually-inclined. I have to face the fact that He's planning something for us that we don't know yet but just give everything to His will.”

Given his age and his growing popularity, someone like Robi could easily get intoxicated with fame, but the young star says he makes a conscious effort to keep his feet on the ground. “I’m not flaunting. It (fame) doesn't get into my head. Sinasabi ko nga ngayon, what I have achieved are blessings. I cannot say they are achievements. It is given to you and people support you. ‘Yung mga nangyayari sa akin ngayon, ‘di ko pinapasok sa ulo ko kasi it’s something to be shared.”

Stars reveal their favorite Valentine memories and romantic moments

2009-02-18T05:04:00.000-08:00

Ruffa Gutierrez
“Baka manuod ako ng When I Met U. Last year, kaming tatlo nila Venice at Lorin ang magkasama noong Valentine’s. Ako ang binigyan nila ng flowers. But if I’m free and someone invites me, tingnan natin if worth ng time ba yun. ‘Di ba? Sa sobrang busy, you have to choose naman the people you go out with. Baka pumunta na lang ako ng Belo or manuod na lang ako ng sine or spend time with my friends.”

Diether Ocampo
“I’ll probably go out of town, maybe Tagaytay. It’s been a long time kasi I don’t get to travel because of work so I hope that I’ll be able to find time to go to some secret getaway with my date.”

John James Uy
“I’m not really good at this. Every date I treat like it’s so special to me. I plan it in advance and take her somewhere nice so it’s like the date itself is a Valentine’s date. So on the actual Valentine’s day, I’d just like to stay home and maybe a few movies with Carla (Humphries). I also want to cook dinner for her for once because she’s cooked for me a couple of times so now it’s my turn to cook.”

Melissa Ricks
“I’d like to go to Boracay if I had a special someone. It just sounds like fun there. Gusto ko yung fun day, hindi yung masyadong serious. I wouldn’t go for a romantic dinner, ganyan. I would like something more fun, hanging out, tawa-tawa lang, enjoy. I’ve been there twice na pero the last one was for work so hindi ko masyado na-enjoy.”

Jay-R Siaboc
“Mahilig ako mag-stay sa bahay lang. Maghahanda ako. Gagawin ko siyang parang romantic na lugar with candles at bulaklak. Tapos konting pagkain and wine. Favorite food namin ni Irish (Fullerton) is pasta, so we like eating that together. Last year yun din ginawa namin.”

Precious Lara Quigaman
“If I had the time, gusto ko talaga mag-beach. For a long time ang tagal ko ng hindi nag-bi-beach. I would ask my special someone to bring me to the beach and just relax. Any beach or maybe Amanpulo because I’ve never been there.”

Maja Salvador
“If I’m not working, happy ako kahit dinner lang tapos yung masayang conversation. Yun lang naman eh. Yung ma-feel mo lang na babae ka, may flowers, chocolates.”

Gian Sotto
“I plan to spend Valentine’s day with my wife. Hindi ko pa alam kung ano exactly. Siguro haharanahin ko siya. Hindi ko pa sure eh. Secret (laughs).”

ROBI DOMINGO
“Now that I can say I’m definitely single right now, I’ll still be looking for the One. That’s it. If ever, I have two options, if ever I find the One, I’ll be preparing dinner on a rooftop. If not, I’ll be spending it with my family. Ever since I stepped into college, I’ve been meeting a lot of great girls and we’ll just see whatever happens. There are great girls in school.”

Jayson Gainza
“May plano naman kami, hindi pwedeng wala. Dinner date siguro or anything na kaming dalawa lang ang mag-asawa. 'Yung mga anak ko iwan ko muna sa mother-in-law ko para naman magkaroon kami ng time ng misis ko na kami lang dalawa. Last year nanood kami ng sine tapos pumunta kaming Antipolo, doon kami nag-dinner. Doon na kami nag-stay. Surprise na lang 'yung regalo ko sa kanya. Pagdating sa regalo madali naman siyang pasayahin kasi hindi naman siya materialistic. Kahit ano basta galing sa akin masaya na siya.”

Sid Lucero
“Well if I don’t have work it will be easy to make plans. The usual maybe, dinner. I don’t know. I’ll probably take her back to where we first started hanging out in Laguna when I was still living there.”

Ron Morales
“Sa ngayon wala pa, pero kung merong ka-date. Siguro we’ll go out of town lang like Tagaytay for dinner. It’s nice to drive out there kasi tahimik at saka relaxing. Yun na yung pinaka-parang pahinga, malamig yung hangin tapos comfortable lang.”

Gemma Fritzgerald
“So far I have no solid plans, baka I’ll just have a night with my girl friends who are single din.”

Christian Bautista
“Siguro pupunta ako sa isang beach somewhere, have dinner under the moonlight and the starlight. Yung mga ganung simple lang. Have a nice conversation. Yes that would be exciting.”~

Piolo Pascual
“Wala akong plans this year but my most unforgettable Valentine’s date was when my mom and I went to Cebu. Nakita ko sa kanya na kahit wala na siyang asawa, she was very happy. I was her date and napasaya ko siya. Sa akin malaking regalo na 'yung mapasaya ko 'yung mother ko. Kahit wala na siyang special someone I was able to make her happy sa isang araw na napaka-special.”

Erik Santos
“No plans because of work but what I did it one Valentine’s day was sinurprise ko si Rufa Mae (Quinto) na umuwi sa bahay niya tapos yung bahay niya punong-puno ng balloons and flowers. I think that's the most special and the sweetest thing na ginawa ko for a girl.”

Alessandra de Rossi

Resolution:

“As usual hindi na ko nagpapautang pero four years ko ng sinasabi iyon hindi ko na nagagawa kasi ang hirap tumanggi lalo na kapag meron ka. Kaya lang umabot ako sa point na wala na akong maibibigay so this time hindi na talaga.”

Is Robi Domingo the next Rico Yan?

2008-12-18T03:41:00.000-08:00

From the recently 22nd Star Awards for Television 2008, Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus' second runner-up Robi Domingo was awarded as the Best New Male TV Personality.

Robi said sa isang interview, "Mas pressured ngayon pero kailangang gawin pa din at paghusayin ang sarili ko to be better,"

Kahit bago pa lamang si Robi ang sabi nya ay open sya sa lahat ng roles na pedeng ibigay sa kanya. Hindi rin siya mapili sa role dahil baguhan pa lamang sya.

Nag pasalamat si Robi Domingo sa mga tao na nagsasabing siya ang next Rico Yan ng bayan.

"Very flattered po ako kapag kinu-kumpara ako kay Rico Yan. Sa mga nagsasabi po noong maraming salamat. Actually po sa akin I really want to take the path of Rico Yan..." he said.

Pero ngayon mas enjoy sya sa pagiging MYX VJ nya.

Robi Domingo "overwhelmed and suprised" by his Star Awards nomination

2008-11-20T01:46:00.000-08:00

Robi Domingo "overwhelmed and suprised" by his Star Awards nomination Rommel Placente Thursday, November 20, 2008 02:28 PM

Nakausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang second big placer ng Pinoy Big Brother Teen Editon Plus na si Robi Domingo kahapon, November 19, sa taping niya sa music channel na MYX, kung saan isa siya sa bagong VJs dito. Sinabi ni Robi sa PEP na "sobrang happy" siya nang malaman niyang nominado siya for Best New Male TV Personality sa PMPC 22nd Star Awards For TV, na gaganapin sa SMX Mall of Asia sa November 30.

Makakalaban niya sa kategoryang ito ang mga kapwa niya Kapamilya na sina Jon Avila, Bruce Quebral, at Josef Elizalde, at sina Dr. Hayden Kho at Doc Ferds Recio ng GMA-7.

"Nung una sinabi sa akin ni Ate Luz [Bagalacsa, Robi's handler in Star Magic] na nominado ako sa Star Awards, sa totoo lang, sinabi ko sa kanya, ‘Ate Luz, nambobola ka na naman. Sige na nga, ilibre na lang kita ng hamburger.' Mga ganun!" natatawang kuwento ni Robi. Pero aniya, "I am very overwhelmed and surprised na may ganito palang pagkilala sa akin. I mean, hindi ko ini-expect na ganito pala kalakas ang impact ko like Jon Avila, Bruce Quebral, Josef Elizalde, mga sobrang... Alam mo yung paglabas pa lang ng kahit ano, ang lakas na agad ng impact nila. Hindi ko ini-expect na I'm one of those people na, you know, na pagdating ko sa industry na kinilala na agad.

"Nagulat lang ako na...nag-isip ako sa sarili ko, ‘Bakit kaya ako napili? Bakit ako napasama sa kategoryang ito? Kaya apprehensive ako the whole thing na, ‘May possibility ba na matalo ko sila?' Mga ganun." Paano niya kukumbinshin ang voting members ng PMPC na siya ang dapat manalo o iboto ng mga ito bilang Best New Male TV Personality?

"When I think of the word personality, one thing that comes to my mind is about who you really are. Not acting as anyone. Not pertaining as actor or something like that. Yung talagang ikaw na ikaw. "We can connect the TV and the personality like na parang... Hindi naman sa TV na ‘O, ganito si someone, ang galing-galing niyang umarte na ganun.' Ako, umaarte rin ako. Pero it doesn't mean na puwede akong maging TV personality kasi sa ginawa kong acting na yun

"Yung TV personality na sinasasabi ko is portrayal of yourself, you're real self. And outside TV naman, kung paano yung pakikitungo mo with everyone. Siyempre, you have to have a good sense of humor and you have to inject good things to the people. "Bahala na lang ang mga taga-PMPC kung sa tingin ba nila ay dapat nila akong iboto o hindi. Kung anuman ang maging resulta, whether I win or not, still nagpapasalamat pa rin ako sa kanila dahil na-nominate ako. Hindi ko nga inaasahan na magiging parte ako ng Star Awards na dating pinapanood ko lang," lahad niya. RIGHT TIMING.

Si Ejay Falcon ang itinanghal na grand winner sa PBB Teen Edition Season 2, pero matagal nang tapos ang contest ay wala pang proyektong binibigay ang ABS-CBN sa kanya. Unlike Robi na napasama sa My Girl, na pinagbidahan nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Andrerson.

Ano ang masasabi ni Robi tungkol dito? "I think people have different packagings," sabi ni Robi. "Like for example, me, I'm more of the expressive person na talking, talking, and talking. Yun nga, I've learned things as well na... I think masasabi ko lang ngayon is I came to the right place at the right time.

Pasok na pasok lahat. "Like sa My Girl, they're looking for this kind of character, kailangan medyo... Hindi naman sosi, pero educated young man. So yun na parang napasok sa sarili ko. Like sa MYX naman, I wanna thank my mom for giving me the genes na maging taktakero and my dad for being a cerebral guy. So nag-intertwine yung dalawang bagay na yun na napunta sa akin," paliwanag niya.

Happy si Robi dahil nakasama at nakatrabaho niya si Luis Manzano sa MXY. Very vocal kasi si Rob sa pagsasabing idol niya ang anak nina Batangas Governor Vilma Santos at OMB Chairman Luis Manzano.

Nagbibigay ba ng tips sa kanya si Luis kung paano ang dapat niyang gawin para maging effective na host at DJ? "Isa sa mga iniidolo ko, si Luis nga. And yun, pag may every taping day or nagkikita kami, he gives me some humor jokes and sabihin ko, ‘Oo nga, ‘no, ba't parang ganoon And I like his style. Pero hindi ko kinokopya. Pero yun, gusto ko siyang maging one of the people who molded me in this industry," pagtatapos ni Robi.

Robi spills it out ;]

PBB Teen ex-housemate Robi Domingo joins VJ search in MYX!

PBB Teen ex-housemate Robi Domingo joins VJ search in MYX

Rommel Placente

Monday, September 15, 2008 10:05 AM

Wala pang bagong show sa ABS-CBN ang itinanghal na second big placer sa Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Season 2 na si Robi Domingo pagkatapos siyang mapanood sa My Girl, na pinagbidahan nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson. Kaya naman sa kanyang pag-aaral muna ang focus ngayon ni Robi. Freshman student siya sa Ateneo kung saan kumukuha siya ng kursong Health Science.

Habang naghihintay ng bagong project sa ABS-CBN ay sumali muna si Robi sa competition para sa new VJ ng MYX na napapanood sa Studio 23

"I'm one of the 12 fighting for that spot. Four spots po ‘yan, e. Sana po ‘pag nakuha, e, di next VJ po ako," sabi ni Robi sa panayam sa kanya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kahapon, September 14, sa joint birthday party nila ng ex-housemate niya sa PBB na si Nicole Uysiuseng sa Party Avenue. Ang nag-organize ng naturang party ay ang fan club nila, ang RobiCole Cirle of Friends.

Isa raw sa mga pangarap ni Robi ang maging isang magaling na TV host kaya siya sumali sa naturang competition ng MYX.

"Actually, ano po, e, ang gusto ko po talaga, hosting. And I like music and hosting. And it would be the best outlet for my talents naman po," saad niya.

Kahit nasa showbiz na si Robi ay hindi naman daw naaapektuhan ang kanyang pag-aaral.

"I balance my studies with everything ho," sabi ni Robi. "Like ‘pag sa school po, school lang lahat ang iniisip ko. Paglabas naman po, kunwari showbiz po, puro showbiz naman po."

Maraming nagsasabi na kung titigil sa pag-aaral si Robi at magku-concentrate na lang siya sa pag-aartista ay siguradong sisikat siya at malayo ang mararating. Taglay raw kasi ni Robi ang lahat ng katangian ng isang artista para sumikat at ikinukumpara pa nga siya sa yumaong matinee idol na si Rico Yan. Ano ang reaction ni Robi tungkol dito?

"Itutuloy ko naman po yung pag-aartista ko. Pero para sa akin naman po, mas okey naman yung ginagawa ko ngayon. Kasi I'm hungry for education po talaga," pahayag ni Robi.

Sa edad na 18 ay hindi pa nararanasan ni Robi na magka-girlfriend. Pero sa ngayon ay may nililigawan daw siya.

"Ano na lang po, itago na lang po muna natin ngayon kung sino man yung nililigawan ko ngayon," pambibitin niya.

Pero taga-showbiz din ba ang nililigawa niya?

"Malalaman din po ninyo yun, huwag muna ngayon," nakangiti niyang sagot.

Hindi kaya si Nicole ang nililigawan niya?

"Naku, patay po ako kay Josef [Elizalde]!" natatawang pagtatapos ni Robi.

Read On Be In (ROBI) birthday bash.♥

Robi Domingo was completely shocked when his friends from Robilievers have thrown him an early birthday bash cum charity event with the pre-school pupils of BatasanHillsElementary School yesterday, September 11. Straight from his classes at the Ateneo De Manila University, Robi dropped by at the venue, not knowing his father was in cohorts with his fans. “Sobrang overwhelmed ako kasi sa utak ko parang puro ‘Oh my gosh’ lang. Kasi ‘di ko talaga inexpect eh. Ang alam ko lang may charity event. Sabi kasi ni Papa, ‘May mga ibibigay tayong appliances ngayon.’ Sabi ko, ‘Bago ‘ko umuwi, sige dadaan ako.’ Tapos biglang pagdating ko dito kumanta sila ng happy birthday,” he later told ABS-CBN.com.

The 19-year-old hottie recalled that he was asleep in the van on the way to BatasanElementary School. So when he saw that a lot of people were waiting for him there, he initially thought that the whole thing was just part of a dream. “It’s a dream come true, actually. I really want do this for my birthday. Kasi sabi ko kay Papa even before this, ‘Pa, pwede bang sa birthday ko wala nang party?’ Instead of spending for a big celebration, i-share na lang yung blessings sa mga unfortunate brothers and sisters natin,” Robi shared.

Making the occasion more special were the traditional Filipino songs and dances which the school choral and dance troupe prepared just for Robi. He in turn gamely played some classical pieces on the piano which the Robilievers arranged for everyone’s entertainment. Afterwards, Robi further interacted with the kids by reading a short story to them with matching comic gestures and sound effects. From the looks of it, he was obviously enjoying the impromptu activities despite the fact that he’s quite tired after all his exhausting schedule lately.

“Since high school I’ve been exposed to different kinds of people na and this kind of extracurricular activities. Palaging iniimpart sa amin yung importance ng helping others, sharing your blessing and everything about that. Sa nangyayari ngayon sa akin, it’s a simple joy for me to say to myself na, ‘Welcome back to your high school years!’ Robi exclaimed. Aside from having fun with the children, Robi also distributed personalized school items (backpacks, coloring books, crayons, pencils, erasers and more) to the whole class.

A spokesperson and consultant of the Department of Education, Robi agreed that this special birthday blowout was very appropriate with his advocacy ‘Read On Be In’. When asked how he felt about being the newest role model of the Filipino youth, Robi humbly answered, “Sobrang salamat. I am very happy to be a consultant. Gusto ko maging idol nila yung mga successful na tao talaga—not only those who are successful because naging sikat sila in a snap, gusto ko dahil sa sariling pagsisikap,” he concluded.

RTC's first open forum

2008-08-25T12:05:00.001-07:00

Recently, the Robilievers text clan held its first open forum thru text. It was held August 25, 2008 which started at 2 pm.Tessa, our web moderator organized the event. Although only 21 members participated, I totally think it was a success. Members and some officers talked about what they like and don't like. This discussion would help alot in improving the clan. After the discussion, we had our "get to know you" portion which made us easier to know each other. I had loads of fun and I think all of us too. In behalf of the officers, thank you guys for our successful open forum.

*The open forum will be on every 3rd week of the month.
