September 28, 2012

Here now is your chance to uncover the talent and see the stars. Viva–TV’s newest presentation Born to be a Star is all set to premiere on Philippine television at 8 pm over IBC–13 on Septemebr 30, every Sunday right after the PBA and before the country’s favorite game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.

Hosted by singing champion Anja Aguilar, Born to be a Star is the Filipino edition of the newest sensation to come out of American television. The show provides a launch pad for unknown, still unsigned talents. After passing auditions, the lucky contestants get the opportunity to perform in a production number created expressly for them, becoming in effect stars for a night. All events leading to the special night will also be documented. They will perform before industry professionals who will tell them if they have what it takes to be a star.

The weekly winner brings home R50,000, R100,000 for the semi–finals and R1 million for the grand finals.

Set to perform as the evening’s stars this Sunday are balikbayan Gemma Fitzgerald, a 20-year-old singer and dancer, Camille Cortez, a 19-year-old in Antipolo, PJ Gonzalez, a 18-year-old in Pasay City, Greggy Santos, a 23-year-old in Quezon City, Jea Reyes, a music belle and Gian Magdangal, a 30-year-old Filipino singer.

These stars are provided with their show wardrobe by Sari–Sari, grooming by the Paradigm Salon and will stay overnight at the Bay View Park Hotel, Manila before the big day. The award–winning Raul Mitra is in charge of the musical arrangements. Director is Jon Corpus.

Born to be a Star is another quality production from Viva-TV, a Viva Entertainment Company.
