As a media sponsor, the Alberta Filipino Journal is one medium where we can promote, advertise and contribute to the success of a show. This one particular extravaganza, One Wild Night,under the Palabok Promotions deserved accolades for bringing this group of talents to warm the hearts of Filipino-Canadians and Edmontonians.
The show last Saturday, November 4th was composed of three big stars from the ABS-CBN Teleserye “Wildflower,” Maja Salvador, Joseph Marco, and Wendell Ramos; with the special participation of comedian Pooh, truly rocked the South Point Community Centre with dancing, laughter and singing. Maja Salvador, as well known for not only acting but singing and dancing had proven her prowess on both at the stage. The performance of Maja and Pooh’s dance competition had brought the house into thunderous laughter that surely was deafening to the ears of the Journal staff and audience. Joseph Marco, on the other hand,in his dance performance deserved the recognition along with the back up local dancers headed by Manny Arban. If showing abs is a mortal sin, then Joseph Marco and Wendell Ramos deserved to be in hell. But ladies and some gentlemen approved unanimously that a peek of their torsos were worth the price of the tickets they paid for. Some conservative ladies closed their eyes and mocked the show as obscene but vividly described what they have seen. (With their eyes closed?). Who will then go to hell? Wendell Ramos’ appearance was surprisingly unexpected. He had proven that he could truly act, but singing and dancing was a surprise. Wendell, the hunk took off his shirt while rendering a song to the promoter Lydia Jimenez of Palabok House and what ensued was another deafening noise and wot from the crowd. From the Journal’s point of view this show is a five ***** stars. {Photos by Noli Granado & Jun Angeles}
