“Upuan ng Katotohanan” shows Korina taking a casual stroll down the streets of Manila with Isko, listening to Sen. Pacquiao unleashing his musical genius on the piano, fishing with Sen. Lacson at his farm, having an intimate huddle with VP Leni and her daughters at their condo apartment, and playing kitchen buddy to Sen. Marcos showing off his cooking skills.
Through all the freewheeling Fast Talk interviews, Korina also clarifies that, unlike most presidential debates or interviews, “Upuan ng Katotohanan” presents a non-opinionated dialogue with the five candidates.
She points out, “I have opinions about how and what they answered, but I’m not editorializing here. I hardly did follow-up questions simply because we didn’t have that much time with each. You’ll just have to watch and judge for yourselves.”
The longer versions of the interviews will be uploaded in the Rated Korina official YouTube channel on Monday, February 7.
Catch “Upuan ng Katotohanan” on Rated Korina, the top-rating lifestyle magazine TV show as it airs via multiple media platforms this weekend: Saturday, February 5, A2Z Channel 11, 5:00pm; 7:30pm on TV5, 10:30pm on Kapamilya Channel, and Sunday, February 6, via OnePH, 7:00pm.
Rated Korina is produced by Brightlight Productions.

The talented 21-year-old proudly brings us “Araw Ng Kapaskuhan”, spreading glad tidings this holiday season. Once again, Hero shows off his might in penning distinctly elegant verses, pulling out all stops in this four-minute jubilant Christmas treat.
The way he vividly describes “Paskong Pinoy” in his own and unique perspective is a laudable feat. He reminds everyone to be happy and forget all the bad vibes even just for this very special day of the year. “Wala munang konsumisyon / Lahat tayo dapat maligaya,” Hero raps on top of the thumping hip-hop beat.
Just like his debut single “Katulad” which rapidly became a popular track in TikTok, “Araw Ng Kapaskuhan” is produced by Russel “Goodson”Tiquia.
Just two weeks ago, Hero unveiled his second single “Reyna”. Since becoming part of the Universal Records artist roster not long ago, he’s been blessing us with a barrage of high-quality tracks. Just imagine the more exciting things he could possibly offer to all of us next year!
“Araw Ng Kapaskuhan” gracefully landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday Philippines playlist this week. Make sure to take a listen to this Christmas rap song right now on your favorite digital streaming platforms.

Born in the Philippines and raised in London, Bea Kristi began recording music as Beabadoobee in 2017. At just 20 years old, Beabadoobee has built her huge, dedicated Gen-Z fan base with her flawless output of confessional bedroom pop songs and DIY aesthetic. Her first track, ‘Coffee’ gathered hundreds of thousands of streams in a matter of days, through a fan-uploaded video, and has since taken on new life as a sample in Powfu’s TikTok and worldwide chart-dominating hit.
Mustard Music proudly presents “I Don’t Care” the newest single from indie/folk-pop band The Ransom Collective.
May 6, 2019 – MANILA, Philippines — Samsung continues its PASS10N Lab series of workshops with its second leg featuring renowned fashion photographer BJ Pascual and fast-rising filmmaker Samantha Lee. Built for this generation’s trailblazers, the talks are designed to take passion to the next level through collaborating with like-minded individuals.
Pascual is one of the Philippines’ most in-demand photographers, having shot many of the country’s most beautiful faces. He is also considered as one of the most sought-after photographers to work in the fashion industry, with his photos gracing the covers of magazines in the country and abroad.
Meanwhile, Lee is one of the fastest-rising filmmakers of her generation, with strong advocacy for better representation of women and the LGBTQ+ community in the local cinema. She is the director of the award-winning film Baka Bukas and the FAMAS Award-nominated Billie & Emma.
Together, Pascual and Lee taught the Samsung Members present on how to take mobile photography and videography to the next level.
“You don’t need a professional camera to take great snapshots. You can use a smartphone with good features to have a well-curated Instagram page,” shared Pascual. “One of the things I look at, whether it’s with my camera or my phone, is the lighting. I study how the light and shadow fall on my subject to make them look their best.”
“I find inspiration everywhere. My feed is composed of the food I eat, the countries I visit, and just beautiful things I find in Manila and the world,” added Lee. “I try to stay aware of my surroundings and notice the beauty in the little things.”
Both Pascual and Lee use the next generation Samsung Galaxy S10 to capture great moments for their social media accounts. The Galaxy S10’s True Vision Multi-Camera allows both content creators to take photos and videos when inspiration hits them.
The photographer elevates everyday moments with the Galaxy S10’s triple cameras, including the 12MP Dual Aperture Lens, the 16MP Ultra-Wide Lens for panoramic photos, and a 12MP Telephoto Lens for impressive optical zooming. His selfies also become magazine-worthy with the smartphone’s front cameras, which offer a 10MP Dual Pixel UHD Selfie Lens. The Galaxy S10 suggests the best composition for all photos and automatically adjusts settings based on the subject.
As a director, Lee uses the Galaxy S10’s 4K UHD Video, which can also be used on the front camera. The smartphone lets Lee shoot footage as if she was using a pro-level action camera as it automatically stabilizes the scene with Super Steady. At the same time, the HDR10+ Recording lets the filmmaker shoot scenes and play it back with all the details, thanks to the Galaxy S10’s rich color, contrast, and Dynamic Tone Mapping.
“The Galaxy S10 is already equipped with the best camera in the market,” said Pascual. “I’m confident going around Manila or even outside the country with just my smartphone because I know I can shoot something that I can confidently submit to a magazine editor or post on my social media feed.”
Lee shared the same sentiment. “I like to explore and now I can just carry my essentials, including my Galaxy S10. I can take photos and shoot footage without having to worry about quality.”
Watch Pascual and Lee share their tips on leveling up mobile photography and videography on Samsung’s “PASS10N LAB”. To know more, visit facebook.com/samsungph.
mustard music’s Joey tha Boy is set to claim the throne as one of the fiery up-and-coming rappers in the Manila scene with his latest single “Anotha Day”
A change of pace from his previous release “Fantasy (feat. Paolo Sandejas), the head-bopping track is a personification of Joey the Boy as an artist – flexing his skills in writing, making a beat, and showing off some personal swag as he raps about his rap idols, what makes him great, and what keeps him going from day to day.
Talking about the song, Joey says “it’s about my personal mindset towards my everyday life. I talk about my daily thought processes and opinions while implementing positivity towards them. I see a lot going wrong with the world, but I think we all shouldn’t be complacent with it. The song encapsulates my strive for to be great and make an impact as an artist.”
With this fiery-hot banger, Joey the Boy is set to wow hip-hop fans with his artistry and inkling for social commentary.
