MANILA, Philippines - Mocha Uson, a member of all-female-group Mocha Girls, welcomed the new year with another daring project – posing nude for a calendar.

Her first nude pictorial for the year was shot in Guam just before sunset, according to Uson.

She told ABS-CBN News: "Very challenging at adventurous kasi out of the country, [but still] nakapag-nude pictorial ako."

Uson boasted that her 2010 calendar photo shoot was done by a well known international photographer, who was tapped several times by organizers of numerous prestigious beauty contests.

She said only 1,000 copies will be distributed. Those interested can buy copies online through her blog. The calendar is also available at all Jancen Beauty Clinic branches.

Indonesia’s Aquarius Records spent $15,000 (roughly P750,000) for a sleek music video using 15 rolls of 35 millimeter film.

The carrier single, Please Be Careful with My Heart (the Jose Mari Chan hit), sung in Bahasa and English by Christian and Indonesian soap singer-superstar Bunga Citra Lestari will be part of a 10-track album set to be released end of this month.

“Styled by Double L’Uomo, Christian shot the music video in The Scout Field Cave Lagoon,” said Carlo Orosa, Christian’s manager who relayed the news to Funfare. “The shoot was led by Anggi, a famous Indonesian music video and commercial director, along with a staff of 30. The second location was in an open grass field area at the Raffles Hills subdivision. The last location was shot with Bunga Citra Lestari in an opulent ballroom of the Driving Range Building of Wisata Legenda Cibubur Bogor where Anggi set up a man-made tree as the centerpiece for the scene.”

MANILA, Philippines – Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.’s "Ang Panday" and Megastar Sharon Cuneta's "Mano Po 6: A Mother's Love" were the biggest winners at the 35th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

Both films bagged 7 trophies each during the awards night at the SMX Convention Center Monday.

Revilla's action-fantasy flick won best actor and best picture.

In his acceptance speech, Revilla dedicated his first MMFF best actor prize to the original “Panday,” the late Fernando Poe Jr., and his best friend, actor Phillip Salvador, who was also part of the "Ang Panday."

"Una po nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord sa lahat ng biyaya na natatanggap ko. I'm so blessed. Sabi ko nga wala na akong mahihiling pa,” the senator-actor said.

He also thanked his dad, Ramon Revilla Sr., for his support. The elder Revilla has been bedridden for months since he suffered a stroke.

“I know you’re watching right now. This is for you,” beamed the lawmaker.
