Aga Muchlach

MANILA, Philippines — Aga Muhlach suddenly left the country, Aug. 11, a day before his birth anniversary. But TV5, Aga’s new home studio, didn’t want him to leave without a party so he was feted with a send-off birthday party at the Borough at The Podium Mall Wednesday night, on the eve of his departure.

So where did Aga go? Everyone is now wondering where the Kapatid star went. But TV5 will make the guessing a lot more fun and exciting with the launch of the “Nasaan Si Aga?” text and twitter promo which started Aug. 11 and will end on Sept. 1.

The challenge lies in guessing where Aga went via clues that will gradually be revealed in newspaper print ads and through the promo’s official website www.nasaansiaga.com. To join the “Nasaan Si Aga?” text promo, interested participants can register by texting AGA REG <Name/Address> to 2929. Registration is free. Each answer sent to AGA will earn one raffle entry. The text promo is open to all Smart, Sun and Globe subscribers. Tariff rates apply.

For the “Nasaan Si Aga?” Twitter promo, participants can visit www.nasaansiaga.com and start earning raffle entries by tweeting using the #nasaansiaga hashtag. The profile photos of participants who tweet using the #nasaansiaga hashtag will be collated by a program to form a mosaic that will gradually show an image of Aga’s location.

The mosaic can be viewed on the official website. The more tweets, the faster the image will form, which will be fully frevealed upon reaching 10,000 tweets. The winner gets a brand new Apple iPad2.

Aga is abroad to tape his TV5 franchise show “Pinoy Explorer.” The show is directed by Rowell Santiago.

Cristine Reyes shows acting mettle

Cristine Reyes is proving she’s not just a pretty face these days. She’s been showing her acting mettle as well in ABS-CBN’s afternoon drama “Reputasyon,” where the actress is paired with her real-life sweetheart Rayver Cruz.

Cristine’s versatile reputation earned her an endorsement: Ara Vista Village, a 50-hectare premiere residential development by Picar Development, Inc. (the construction arm of AMA Communities, Inc.) in General Trias, Cavite.

During a recent “Meet & Greet Cristine Reyes” event with the winners of their FB promo (held at Johnny Rockets along Tomas Morato, QC) the officers of Ara Vista – Danilo B. Jogno, Chief Finance Officer; Joel S. Erestain, VP-Training; and Erwin Am Flores, VP-Sales proudly announced that aside from the usual features and amenities in a subdivision (church, shops, theme park and playground, an elegant clubhouse), the whole area is Wi-Fi enabled.
