Marina Summers Drops 'AMAFILIPINA' Music Video

Marina Summers is a true ‘Filipina winnah’ radiating beauty and charisma in the music video of her single “AMAFILIPINA,” which has accumulated over 360,000 online views on YouTube and peaked at #18 on trending videos for music. 

 

“AMAFILIPINA’ is Marina’s adaptation of Maymay Entrata’s iconic song “AMAKABOGERA,” which Marina performed in the premiere episode of “Drag Race UK vs the World,” where she won. It has also already earned over 168,000 streams on Spotify.

 

The song talks of being a proud Filipina, with Marina being the only Pinay and only Asian representative in the “Drag Race” competition.  

 

It has tweaked lyrics that Marina co-wrote with Kumare Harvey. It was produced by Roque “Rox” Santos and released under ABS-CBN’s Tarsier Records label.

 

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Marina shared that she had always wanted to give her own take on “Amakabogera.”

She said, “"And 'yung 'Amakabogera' pambakla talaga siya, gurl. Pambakla talaga siya even from the title itself. So I wanted to pay homage to that and do my own rendition of it, like how would the gays do it, how would the drag queens portray it, like how they would sing it on an international level.”

 

Marina is one of the recording artists signed under Tarsier Records. She previously released the singles “Divine” and “ride 4 me.”

 

The drag queen emerged as the runner-up in the first season of “Drag Race Philippines.” Last year, she also appeared in RuPaul's Drag Con, and won the WOWIE Awards Rising Star of 2023 during the said event.

 

Marina was likewise chosen by Spotify to represent the Philippines and Southeast Asia for their Global PRIDE x Glow campaign in 2023 with a feature in a New York Times Square billboard.

 

Celebrate Filipina pride with Marina’s single “AMAFILIPINA,” now available on music streaming services worldwide. For more details, follow Tarsier Records on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Bolder Enrique Gil Graces Metro Man Cover

Enrique Gil opens up about exploring uncharted territories and how his comedy film “I Am Not Big Bird” became the perfect project for his acting comeback in the digital cover of Metro Man.

 

After taking some time away from the spotlight, Enrique revealed that he had worries about his comeback but still pushed himself to take risks and show off his range as an actor.

 

“It’s also okay to be scared and take chances sometimes ’cause you know, I was playing safe and sometimes it gets a little boring. So sabi ko sa sarili ko, ‘how are you going to take a different route?’ Hopefully, the artists will get inspired and would want to venture out into different things,” he said in his exclusive Metro Man feature.

 

As an avid comedy fan, Enrique was eager to portray the role of Luis Carpio in “I Am Not Big Bird” which is different from his well-known leading man roles.

 

“‘I Am Not Big Bird’ just reminded me of Hangover and all these movies that I love watching, kasi mahilig ako sa comedy. In my wildest dreams, I would never imagine that a film like this would be coming out to the viewers here, but we took a chance. We did it and I’m super happy and proud that we did. I’m just happy that I got to do a full-blown comedy that I’ve always wanted to do,” he shared.

 

The Kapamilya actor is not afraid of failure as he continues to aim for bigger, bolder, and better projects.

 

He said, “Back then, I was like, ‘No, I don’t think this is going to happen.’ Parang it felt so out-of-the-box or out of me but then, realizing it, ‘No, that’s really me, e.’ So I’m just doing what I want to do and hopefully, people will enjoy it and are happy about it.”

Bamboo, Martin, and KZ Ready to Find the Next Gen Z Champ in 'The Voice Teens'

Nagbabalik sina Coach Bamboo, KZ Tandingan, at Martin Nievera upang muling gabayan ang bagong batch ng mga young artist na pangarap pa rin ang puhunan at boses ang labanan para maging kampeon ng “The Voice Teens,” na mapapanood na ngayong Sabado at Linggo (Pebrero 17 & 18) sa Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, at TV5.

Ibinahagi ni Rockstar Royalty Bamboo na hindi siya nakakaramdam ng pressure para muling maging winning coach sa bagong season ng reality singing competition matapos magkaroon ng dalawang “The Voice” champion ang Kamp Kawayan.

“I have never had pressure. I mean if I think about it, I had like disappointments, but I know it is not in my control. Ang alam ko lang is as long as I put the work in and my artist puts the work in, and then we do our best on that given night, okay na ko,” kwento in Bamboo.

Sabi naman ni Asia’s Soul Supreme KZ, na bumalik para sa kanyang ikalawang taon bilang coach, na mga young artist na talagang gutom at sabik na mapabilang sa kumpetisyon ang kanyang hinahanap.

“I am looking for artists who are truly hungry to be in ‘The Voice Teens’ kasi mararamdaman mo ‘yun, maririnig mo ‘yun, kahit ‘di mo sila nakikita. Maririnig mo if they are really singing from somewhere deeper,” paliwanag ng coach ng Team Supreme.

Ibinunyag din ni KZ ang isang makabuluhang tattoo ng logo ng "The Voice" sa kanyang braso na nagsisilbing isang espesyal na alaala sa isang magandang bahagi ng kanyang buhay.

“It's a full circle moment for me dahil first time kong mag-judge na kasama si Sir Martin and I started in a competition na judge si Sir Martin so parang it doesn't happen to just anyone so I'm grateful," dagdag ni KZ.

Samantala, nakwento naman ni Concert King Martin Nievera na mas naging malapit sila ng kanyang mga kapwa coach ngayong taon matapos ang “The Voice Kids” noong nakaraang 2023.

“This season, Coach Bamboo, Coach KZ, and I were hitting it off so well. You will see here on ‘The Voice Teens’ how we spin off each other. Sa blind auditions, how we try and feed off of each other’s humor or even in serious moments, how we helped each other, how we stand back to let the other shine,” sabi ni Martin.

Bukod sa mga coach, nagbabalik din bilang hosts sina Robi Domingo at Bianca Gonzalez, habang ang alumni ng “The Voice Teens” na sina Jeremy Glinoga at Lorraine Galvez mula sa Season 1 at Season 2 grand champions na sina Isang Manlapaz at Kendra Aguirre ang online hosts ng “The Voice Teens ” DIGITV.

Isa sa pinakamatagumpay na talent-reality show ng ABS-CBN ang “The Voice” na nakadiskubre at gumabay sa mga nangangarap na mang-aawit mula sa iba’t ibang edition at season ng programa na ngayon ay gumagawa na ng sarili nilang marka sa industriya.

Sino ang susunod na Gen Z young artists ang mapapabilang sa Kamp Kawayan, Team Supreme, at MarTeam? Alamin sa “The Voice Teens” tuwing Sabado at Linggo sa Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, at TV5.
