Dina Bonnevie Shares Her Endless Anecdotes On 'Korina Interviews'

“I don’t want to talk about Alex Gonzaga,” Dina Bonnevie declares to a confused Korina Sanchez-Roxas as the broadcast journalist being totally clueless about the recent events between the two artists.

KORINA SANCHEZ-ROXAS & DINA BONNEVIE

Korina laughs, “Well with Dina Bonnevie there is absolutely no dull moment, walang tapon ang interview na ito.”

“Dina, talaga bang bawat kabanata ng buhay mo may moment at eksena,” Korina asks.

The multi-awarded dramatic actress started out as a beauty queen and soon after a movie star, and is even a platinum album singer. And now, a political wife.

KORINA & DINA

“Thats my biggest problem about politics. I can’t say what I mean, kailangan parating preno,” says the actress known throughout her career for her catty remarks.

“Sobrang interesting sa akin ang background and lifestory ni Dina. Her father’s influence on her, her acting technique, her advocacy in the north,” says Korina.

DINA & KORINA

Did you know:

Dina’s dad would discipline her by asking her to kneel on monggo beans?

Danica used to hate her Mom because Dina would in turn, ask her to kneel on rice grains?

Despite the fact that her family is well-off, her parents used to ask her to work in a palengke?

DINA & KORINA

That two leading men had a fist fight because of Dina?

That she was a headache to award-winning director Lino Brocka?

You’ll enjoy Dina’s endless anecdotes in this weekend’s Korina Interviews, April 16, Sunday at 5 pm on NET 25.

Let's Sing While Listening to Rey Valera''s Unique Life Story on 'Korina Interviews'

REY VALERA is one of the most celebrated hitmakers in the history of Original Pilipino Music or OPM. 

Many of his compositions, which he also sang as a vocalist, have enjoyed revival after revival because younger artists sing their own versions — and his songs have become some of the most successful teleserye titles and theme songs ever. 

REY VALERA & KORINA SANCHEZ-ROXAS

And who among many of us can't keep up with the national anthems of our generation?

"Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko"

"Maging Sino Ka Man"

"Naaalala Ka"

"Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo"

"Tayong Dalawa:

"Kung Kailangan Mo Ako"… and so many others.

But many of us don't know what Rey went through in her life and career.

“Minsan kong iniwan ang karera ko ng maraming taon kahit napaka-successful ko na noon. Dahil sa isang impostor na nagpapanggap na siya si Rey Valera, napagkakamalan akong magnanakaw, rapist, kriminal.

"Kaya kinailangan ko munang mawala…”, narrates Rey to a shocked Korina Sanchez-Roxas.  

But how did he solve the problem and how did he get back to rise so high again?

The one and only Rey Valera on Korina Sings... or it is on 'Korina Interviews.' This Sunday, April 9, on NET25 at 5 pm, after the romantic comedy 'Goodwill'. 

NET25 is now available on Digital Free TV Channel 28, Analog Free TV Channel 25, Skycable and Destiny Cable on Channel 18, SatLite Channel 25, Cignal Channel 14 and GSat Channel 38. Re-scan the TV box to receive the NET25. 

(By the way, 'Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko (The Music of Rey Valera)' starring RK Bagatsing and directed by Joven Tan is now showing in cinemas nationwide, as one of the eight entries of the 1st Summer Metro Manila Film Festival.)

MTRCB Reminds That Only Rated “G” and/or “PG” Are Permitted To Be Shown On Board PUVs

THE Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) reminds all operators of common carriers that only rated “G” and “PG” Television (TV) and/or Films are permitted to be shown on board Public Utility Vehicles (PUVs).

Sections 1-3 of the MTRCB Memorandum Circular No. 09-2011, provides that: “All common carriers and other public places that openly and publicly exhibit motion pictures shall be treated as movie theaters for purposes of regulation by the Board.”

“Owing to their public service character and accessibility to the public regardless of age, common carriers and other public places can only publicly exhibit motion pictures classified by the Board as for General Patronage (G) or Parental Guidance (PG).”

“Materials with contents beyond the ‘PG’ rating, are prohibited for public exhibition in common carriers and other public places: Sexually derived and vulgar use of swear words or those referring to the genitalia; Use of strong expletives; Sexually oriented nudity; Breast exposure; Implied and graphic depiction of sexual activity; Exhibition of genitalia and excretory functions; Glamorization of violence and criminals; Portrayal of characters taking pleasure in inflicting or receiving pain; Sexual violence; Focalization on injuries and blood; Images of drug and substance use; Gory and strong scary scenes; Those that are contrary to law and/or good customs, and finally; Those that are libelous or defamatory.”

In 2011, the MTRCB entered into Memoranda of Agreement with the Land Transport Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB), and the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) to undertake joint efforts to protect the public from any public exhibition of TV programs and movies, which, in the judgment of the Board, applying contemporary Filipino cultural values as standard, are deemed offensive.

We enjoin the commuting public to report violations to the MTRCB through any of the following channels: Email: admin@mtrcb.gov.ph; Hotline (02 8 276 7380); Or via Facebook/Instagram @MTRCBGov.
