Of course, in between songs – and sometimes during – they couldn't help but crack a few jokes. At one point, Chito even threw a few bottles of water to the crowd.

Parokya's Pogi Years Old drops in record stores nationwide and on Spotify and other digital formats on Monday, October 17.

Copies were also available at the Eastwood album launch and at an earlier launch at Robinsons Galleria Cebu last October 14.

What's your favorite Parokya ni Edgar song? Let us know in the comments!– Rappler.com

MANILA, Philippines – Get ready, A1 fans! A1 is coming back to the Philippines this October, and singing a couple of their old and new hits for their Filipino fans.

Three of the original 4 – Ben Adams, Mark Read, and Christian Ingebrigtsen – are taking the Kia Theater stage on October 23 and are hitting the IEC Pavilion in Cebu on October 25. (READ: Boy band A1 to perform in PH)

A1 rose to fame in the late '90s and early 2000s, with hits like "Like a Rose" and "Heaven by Your Side."

After taking a break in 2002 and after former band member Paul Marazzi left, Ben, Mark, and Christian reunited. They've since released 2 new albums and toured the world as A1.

Ahead of their two Philippine concerts, we got to talk to Ben, who wrote many of A1's songs and went on to write songs for other artists and for his solo career as well.

Here's what he had to say:

It's your second time back to Manila – what about your last trip made you want to visit again?

We've actually been to Manila many, many times before – and we come back because we LOVE it!

What do you remember about your last Manila concert? Was there any moment that stands out as special to you?

Yes! That we didn't get enough time on stage! Thats why we're coming back on our own this time!

How is the experience performing as A1 today different from when you were just starting out? Are there habits you still fall into when you're onstage together?

We always just have a lot of fun on stage. More so now, because we can mix it up and there isn't anybody telling us what tracks to perform or how to perform them. We just do what feels right, whether that be play live, dance routines, acoustic numbers, originals, covers...

You guys have had a lot of hits over the years – do you have a favorite song, or is there one that is particularly special to you?

It has the be "Caught in the Middle" – it was the first time we were allowed to write whatever we wanted and it turned out to be our biggest hit!

A1 has continued as a band, even if you all have your own different projects. What keeps you guys going?

We all have so many projects on the go! It's great doing our own thing but I think we all love being together and performing on stage the most.

You released Rediscovered in 2013 – how is that album different from your previous ones?

Well, I produced a lot of it on a laptop in my hotel room while I was doing a dance show called Skal Vi Danse in Norway. So I guess that's a bit different! Ha!

Watch one of Ben's Skal Vi Danse performances below!

Favorite song at the moment is "To the Moon and Back" from my classical EP One Beautiful Mourning. Go check it out on Spotify– its perfect to chill out to.

You've written and produced songs for many artists already, but do you have a dream collaborator?

[I] have worked with most of them. I write a lot of songs these days with a girl called Shelly Poole. She used to be in a band called Alisha's Attic and we've had a lot of success together in recent years.

Listen to "Guilty Flowers" below, a song written by Ben, Shelly, and Catherine and Lizzy Ward-Thomas.

Probably winning the Brit Award – thats something you never forget and was a milestone in the band's career.

Do you have any advice for boy bands or even girl groups who are trying to make it big today? How about for band members who are trying to make it as solo artists?

My advice for both is to enjoy every single second of whatever level of success you manage to get. Don't get chasing the next goal before you have appreciated your existing successes.

Will we expect to hear more of your classics at your upcoming concert, or will you perform more of your recent singles?

We'll mix it up and try and cover all ground!

WASHINGTON, USA – Billy Bush, the television host with Donald Trump when he was caught on tape boasting about groping women with impunity, is leaving NBC's Today show Monday, NBC News reported. (READ: Lewd video latest hurdle for Trump as he trails Clinton)

The video ignited a furor over Trump's treatment of women, some of whom have come forward to accuse the Republican presidential candidate of unwanted sexual advances.

Bush, a nephew of former president George H.W. Bush, was a host of celebrity show Access Hollywood in 2005 when he and Trump were taped in conversation as they arrived at the set of a soap opera.

Bush had joined NBC's morning flagship Today in August.

"Bush a host on NBC's TODAY, is leaving the show effective Monday, according to an internal memo sent to staff by Senior Vice President Noah Oppenheim, who oversees the broadcast," NBC News said.

"I am deeply grateful for the conversations I've had with my daughters, and for all of the support from family, friends and colleagues. I look forward to what lies ahead," Bush said in a statement.

On the video, Trump is heard bragging that he uses his fame to grope and kiss women without their consent, as Bush laughs and jokes with the real estate billionaire who became a reality TV star with The Apprentice.

Bush, who has said he is "embarrassed and ashamed" of his role in the incident, was making $3.5 million a year in his current position at NBC – hosting an hour of morning news heavy on entertainment content.

Trump has apologized for his remarks, but insists it was just "locker room talk." – Rappler.com

MANILA, Philippines – Every year, fans look forward to the Star Magic Ball to see what their favorite stars are wearing and who they're with. 

The 2016 ball is no different. New couples may make their official debuts as they pose for photos or sit together inside the main ballroom, while some of the newly single stars may take on the ball alone this year. 

Before the main event on October 22, let's take a look at which celebrities may or may not be seen with their current or former flames.

Angelica and John Lloyd 

Angelica and John Lloyd dated for almost 4 years before John Lloyd confirmed that he was single in March. 

The two seemed to have remained friends since – recently, they bumped into each other on a trip to Hong Kong and a few days before the ball, even posed with the staff of Sarsa in Makati.

The couple have been to every Star Magic Ball together over the course of their dating history – even winning Couple of the Night in 2014– but will we see one or both of them on th red carpet this year?

Will Jessy Mendiola and Luis Manzano walk the red carpet together?

Jessy Mendiola and Luis Manzano have been making headlines ever since their rumored relationship surfaced on social media in July.

Jessy confirmed to ABS-CBN that Luis will be her date to the ball this year – their first major event together. 

Some stars enter the red carpet from different sides of the venue, or arrive separately, only to sit together once they're inside the main ballroom. With Jessy's confirmation that Luis will be her date that evening, it's a possibility we'll see them on the red carpet. 

Bea and Zanjoe

All eyes are on Bea and Zanjoe as the former couple might encounter each other on the red carpet – this time, either on their own or with different dates.

Zanjoe and Bea were together for more than 4 years before Zanjoe confirmed in January that they had broken up. 

We'll be looking out for a pregnant Melai Cantiveros with her husband Jason Francisco on the red carpet

Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco recently went through a rough patch in their marriage. Reports a split surfaced in July, when Jason posted a message on their daughter's Instagram account, saying that he wasn't happy about Melai having an onscreen partner in one of her shows.

The two have since reconciled, and announced in September that Melai is pregnant with their second child.

KC Concepcion and former Azkals captain Aly Borromeo have never confirmed that they're a couple, but KC's half-sister Cloie Syquia-Skarne told Boy Abunda early in October that they are dating.

Will Matteo Guidicelli and Sarah Geronimo come to the ball together?

Matteo Guidicelli and Sarah Geronimo first announced that they were in a relationship in 2014, but they have never been seen together on the Star Magic Ball red carpet, nor inside the main ballroom.

The couple have been firm about keeping their relationship separate from their work and public life, which is why they are rarely seen at each other's concerts or events as well.

Will this be the year they finally publicly take each other to the ball?

Who will walk the red carpet alone?

Maja Salvador and Jodi Sta Maria have confirmed that they're set to attend the ball alone this year.

MANILA, Philippines – Diana Zubiri, who played the original Danaya on Encantadia, returned to the show on Tuesday, October 18 as Lilasari, a new antagonist to the sang'gres.

In an interview posted on the Encantadia website, Mark Reyes, director of the show, talked about Diana's participation. 

"Right after we saw the reaction ng mga (of the) fans, ng mga (of the) Encatadiks na Sunshine (Dizon) is part of the show, it was very easy to realize, to figure out that we have to bring in Diana in the show," he said.

Sunshine on the other hand expressed her happiness in being reunited with Diana.

"We're all very excited. [The] original Encantadiks, nag-gueguessing na sila. Tapos sabi ko 'sige, sino?' Talagang in mind si Diana Zubiri nga ang sinasabi nila. But I couldn't say na si Joy (Diana's real name) nga talaga."

(We're all very excited. [The] original Encantadiks, they were all guessing. And then I said 'okay who is it?' And in their mind it was really Diana Zubiri. But I couldn't say it was Joy.)

Diana said that direk Mark was one of the reasons she agreed to be part of the show, after taking time off from showbiz to take care of her family. Diana gave birth to daughter Aliyah Rose last August.

In another video interview, Diana talked about her character Lilasari, who was raised by Cassiopeia, the first queen of Lireo, played by Solenn Heussaff.

"Si Lilasari kasi parang punong-puno ng galit at saka kulang sa pagmamahal," Diana said. "Very opposite naman kay Diana kasi ako naman, masaya at punong-puno ng pagmamahal."

(Lilasari is full of hatred and she lacks love. It's the opposite of Diana because on the other hand, I'm happy and full of love.)

In the storyline, Lilasari was born with a power to turn those who look at her face into stone. She became angry after she was told by Cassiopeia that she would never be queen. She later challenged Cassiopeia to a duel and was sent to the Carcero as punishment. However, she escaped with the help of Adhara, played by Sunshine.

 With Adhara and Lilasari now in alliance, the viewers can expect more surprises if they will succeed in their plan to conquer Lireo.

CANNES, France – YouTube has signed up the world's highest paid actor, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Doug Liman, the director of The Bourne Identity, to make shows for its subscription service, it said late Monday, October 17.

The Google-owned video giant said that former wrestler Johnson, who shot to fame in The Fast and the Furious films, will produce a series called Lifeline about an insurance company that sends its agents 33 days forward in time to prevent the deaths of its customers.

Liman, who also directed Mr and Mrs Smith, will use young stars spotted on YouTube for his show Impulse about a young girl who discovers she can teleport herself.

Both shows will air on its pay service YouTube Red.

YouTube's content chief Susanne Daniels told MIPCOM, the world's biggest entertainment convention held in the French resort of Cannes, that it was using data from its more than a billion viewers to give them what they want.

"Our thesis is simple. Identify YouTube's most engaging stars and top genres, and invest in the content that fans tell us they want. In other words, let our community drive our content."

YouTube Red was launched in 2015 with series from such well-known YouTubers as the London-based Swede PewDiePie and the American Joey Graceffa.

It is currently only available in the United States, Australia and New Zealand but will be rolled out into other countries next year. – Rappler.com

NEW YORK, USA –  In 2004, director Michael Moore took on George W. Bush in Fahrenheit 9/11. On Tuesday, October 18 the filmmaker surprised his fans with news that he would debut his new film about Donald Trump.

Michael Moore in TrumpLand will have a free pre-screening Tuesday night in New York, he announced on Twitter.

The movie is apparently based on his failed efforts to stage a one-man show about Trump in an Ohio theater. Moore said it was cancelled because he was told he was too controversial.

Moore is known for left-leaning political activism and his fierce opposition to the Republican presidential nominee.

"See the film Ohio Republicans tried to shut down. Oscar-winner Michael Moore dives right into hostile territory with his daring and hilarious one-man show, deep in the heart of TrumpLand in the weeks before the 2016 election," according to the synopsis offered by the IFC Center theater in Brooklyn.

The film's regular run at the theater will begin Wednesday, October 19.

Moore, who will attend Tuesday's screening, somewhat famously predicted that Trump would win the Republican primaries.

Moore backed Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries. He has not endorsed Hillary Clinton, citing her support for the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 while serving as a New York senator.

It is Moore's second film release this year, after Where to Invade Next. In that movie, he played a pseudo conqueror who plants the US flag wherever he goes, baffling onlookers. 

Moore uses the term "invasion" to mean plundering other nations' notions of happy workers, good education, humane prisons and empowered women.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker is best known for directing documentaries such as Bowling for Columbine (2002), which takes on American gun culture; Fahrenheit 9/11, which skewers the George W. Bush administration's response to the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, and Roger & Me (1989), about his efforts to talk to the head of General Motors about the impact of plant closures in Flint, Michigan.

Moore won an Oscar in 2003 for best documentary feature for Bowling for Columbine. – Rappler.com

MANILA, Philippines – Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth have tied the knot! In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on her show, Shia shared some details about his wedding to actress Mia in Las Vegas this October. 

"The plan was for it to be a private [thing] in [Las] Vegas, Viva Vegas wedding chapel. And part of the package– the King Tut package, you get a live stream for free, a part of the deal," he said.

"And I said, 'you know we really don't need that.' As a matter of fact, we'll just take a little private tape. We had our moms there. They said no problem.

"We get back home and it was like woo! Hey listen, something changed... someone pressed the wrong button then sends the video to TMZ. I said, I understood and I checked with my girl and she's like, 'Hey, what are you gonna do?' It was love. So we're proud of it. It was love."

Despite the incident, Shia said the streaming was okay since their dad could not make it to the wedding. He also said that he and Mia, a British actress and model, have been together for 4 years.

Meanwhile, the Clark Country Nevada's Twitter page said that they have no record of the couple's wedding license, but that a commitment ceremony was done.

MANILA, Philippines – The annual Star Magic Ball is days away and aside from the fashion and the actual event, it is also a chance for love teams and real-life couples to appear (sometimes debuting on the red carpet) and socialize with their peers.

Some of these couples have attended the ball together over the last few years, while some tandems are about to make their debut. Here are the couples we are looking forward to seeing at this year's night of glamour.

1. Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla

The Kathniel tandem has been a staple to look out for in the past balls. Last year, Kathryn wore a gown by Michael Cinco. We'll definitely be on the lookout for what she and Daniel will be wearing on the red carpet. 

2. Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil

Another pair everyone is looking forward to seeing in the tandem of Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano. Last year, Liza wowed the crowd with her princess-inspired gown by Michael Cinco, and like Kathryn, fashion fans will be on the lookout for Liza's gown this year.

3. Daniel Matsunaga and Erich Gonzales

Daniel and Erich made their debut on the red carpet last year after confirming that they were a couple June 2015. In 2014, Daniel was spotted with his sister Vanessa as his date.

The two are currently seen on the morning show Be My Lady.

4. Tommy Esguerra and Miho Nishida

Real- and reel-life couple Tommy Esguerra and Miho Nishida will attend the Star Magic Ball for the first time after their relationship bloomed on Pinoy Big Brother. The two said that aside from being excited, they are looking forward meeting their other Star Magic peers and just have a fun night together. 

5. Kim Chiu and Xian Lim

Kim Chiu and Xian Lim have been going to the ball together for the past years. Last year, the two won the Couple of the Night award. Will they win the award again this year?  

6. Bailey May and Ylona Garcia 

Bailey May and Ylona Garcia or Bailona have been making waves with young audiences since they stepped out of Pinoy Big Brother. The two attended the ball last year, and their fans can't wait to see them again on the red carpet.

7. Elisse Joson and Mccoy de Leon

The new tandem of Hashtags member Mccoy de Leon and Elise Joson will also attend this year's event. Before even becoming McLisee, the two have already attended the ball together in 2013.

8. Maricar Reyes and Richard Poon

One of the most classic pairs to watch out for has been husband and wife duo Richard Poon and Maricar Reyes. Maricar is a favorite on best dressed lists because of her simple and elegant style. 

9. Sofia Andres and Diego Loyzaga

They have remained mum about the real status of their relationship, but rising actress Sofia Andres confirmed that Diego Loyzaga, son of actress Teresa Loyzaga and Cesar Montano will be her date for the ball.

Asked what she's looking forward to in this year's ball, Sofia told ABS-CBN: “I feel so blessed and happy kasi nakakasama namin 'yung mga big stars. May opportunity na makipag-mingle din sa kanila and bonding.”

(I feel blessed and happy because we will be together with the big stars. There is an opportunity to mingle and bond.) 

10. Billy Crawford and Coleen Garcia

Another couple everyone will be watching out for is Billy Crawford and Coleen Garcia. The two have been walking the red carpet since 2014 and although there was a hiccup at the 2014 ball when Billy got in trouble with the police, things have been going well for the two since then. 

11. Sue Ramirez and Ronnie Alonte 

Sue said it was only through an endorsement shoot that they formally met. Since then, the two have become good friends. Ronnie event posted on Instagram that he will be escorting Sue to the ball.

MANILA, Philippines – Chito Miranda isn't shy about being very sweet to his wife Neri Naig in public, often posting messages for or about her on Instagram. These are meaningful gestures from him to help strengthen and develop their solid relationship even more. 

"I think panliligaw yun eh (it's a way of courting her)," said the Parokya ni Edgar frontman at an October 19 press conference for their new album Pogi Years Old. (IN PHOTOS: Parokya ni Edgar's 'Pogi Years Old' album launch)

"Iba naman talaga pag sinisigaw mo sa public," he added. "Ibig sabihin kino-close mo yung doors mo to all the other girls because [pinapakita mo] na ito yung asawa ko."

(It's different when who shout it in public. It means you're closing the doors to all the other girls because you're showing that this is my wife.)

Chito revealed that he also has a few songs for Neri in Pogi Years Old.

Of the 21 tracks in the album, Chito mentioned the songs "Wala Lang Yun" and "Friendzone Mo Mukha Mo" as for his wife of almost 2 years.

"Wala Lang Yun," Chito said, was about a time in their relationship when he would still flirt with other girls: "'Yun yung time na... I think she wrote about it on her blog, yung how she dealt nung gago pa ako, nung malandi pa ako with other girls. So that song was an excuse na wala lang 'yun, don't... 'wag ka ma-bother with the chicks I flirt with, parang ganon."

(That was the time when... I think she wrote about it on her blog, about how she dealth with when I was stupid and I was flirting with other girls. So that song was an excuse that all that was nothing, don't... don't be bothered with the chicks I flirt with, something like that.)

He added later, "To be clear lang, that [time] was bago ako magbago, bago ako magdecide na magseryoso na."

(To be clear, that [time] was before I changed, before I decided to be serious.)

Neri recently spoke about that period of their relationship in a blog post, where she said that sometimes, the girls Chito would flirt with would make their presence known by leaving their photos in Chito's room or spray perfume on his pillows.

She also said that she and Chito almost broke up when she was 28 (Neri is 31 as of writing), because of the other girls. She and Chito started dating in 2011.

"'Wag na lang ipilit yung hindi naman pwede. Maghiwalay na lang tayo habang mahal pa natin ang isa’t isa, at may respeto pang natitira. Mas maganda kako na maghiwalay kami na okay," she wrote.

(Let's not force what can't be. Let's just split up while we still love each other and we still have respect for each other. It would be better if we broke up while we were still okay.)

That same day, Chito came back to her and apologized: "Nakwento niya na habang nagmamadali siyang umuwi na nagpray siya at nangako siya kay God na hinding hindi na niya ako sasaktan. Nagbago siya on his own, hindi dahil sa sinabihan ko siya na magbago para sa akin."

(He told me that as he was rushing to get home, he promised God that he wouldn't hurt me. He changed on his own, and not because I told him to change for me.)

On "Friendzone Mo Mukha Mo," the first song in the album, Chito said: "It's a song inspired by her, when we first met, di ako papayag na friends lang tayo. Kasi may gusto ako sa kanya eh. So I wrote about that experience."

(It's a song inspired by her, when we first met, I wouldn't allow that we would just be friends. Because I liked her. So I wrote about that experience.)

Chito and Neri are expecting a baby boy this November, and Chito said that they are planning on naming the baby after him, Alfonso, such that he would be Alfonso Miranda III.

On Neri's pregnancy, Chito said at the press conference that it's been delicate, because she suffered a miscarriage before this pregnancy.

"So talagang yung second [pregnancy] ingat na ingat na talaga siya. Pero wala naman naging any complications. Pero ganoon talaga yun, hirap na hirap talaga siya, hindi siya morning sickness, all-day sickness. Pero you just pray na mahandle niya."

(So with the second [pregnancy] she's been really careful. But there have been no complications. But that's the way it is, she's really been having a hard time, she doesn't have morning sickness, it's all-day sickness. But you just pray that she can handle it.)

Chito also shared that he's been taking care of Neri more too. "I needed to be more patient kasi kunwari ako talaga... kasi sanay ako na siya nagaalaga sa akin eh, pag-gising ko naka ready na yung breakfast ko eh. Ngayon gusto ko ako naman yung magdadala sa kanya."

(I needed to be more patient because for example... I'm used to her taking care of me, like when I wake up my breakfast is ready already. But now I want to be the one to bring her breakfast.)

"I think I'm really prepared na naman [to be a father] kasi madami akong kids na naalagaan before eh, mga pamangkin ko, kasi ako yung bunso so ako palagi yung inuutusan," said Chito on being a dad.

(I think I'm really prepared [to be a father] because I've taken care of a lot of kids before, my nieces and nephews, because I'm the youngest so I'm always the one being asked to do things.)

He added that he used to spend time with the kids of Kamikazee's Jay Contreras too, because they used to live in the same neighborhood.

Chito announced on Father's Day in June that Neri was pregnant. The couple recently held a baby shower at their Tagaytay residence, where they announced that Neri was to have a boy. – Rappler.com

MANILA, Philippines – The Guardians of the Galaxy are back!

The first sneak peek of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was released on Thursday, October 20, and it's 90 seconds of the characters and humor that had fans falling in love with the first film.

The teaser, set to Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling," shows off high-action clips of battles and slow-motion bits of Peter, Gamora, Drax, and Rocket gearing up for their space adventures.

Peter's voice can be heard dramatically saying, "There are two types of beings in the universe. Those who dance and those who do not," before it's revealed that he's actually getting love advice from Drax: "You just need to find a woman who is pathetic. Like you."

Watch the full 90-second teaser above, and let us know if you'll be catching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 when it hits theaters in May 2017!– Rappler.com

MANILA, Philippines – Jake Cuenca confirmed that he and now ex, model Sara Grace, ended their relationship for the second time. (READ: Jake Cuenca on breakup with Sara Grace Kelley: 'It just didn't work out')

In an interview with Pep, Jake said: “Yeah, we broke up.”

“Nagkabalikan naman kami for about 3 months. Sinabi ko naman—kahit noong nag-guest ako kay Tito Boy [Abunda]—we’re trying. 

(We got back together for about 3 months. I always said – even when I guested with Tito Boy [Abunda] we're trying)

"This is our second breakup and, I think, this is the final one," he said. 

Although they have parted ways, Jake said he and Sara Grace still follow each other on Instagram.  

It was Sara Grace, he said who ended the relationship. 

Jake mentioned that distance also played a role in their breakup, as she lives in the US. 

“She will always have a special place in my heart. I know, she feels the same way.

“But ano, e, conflict of interests,” he said.

Jake said that he's focus on his work and other activities.

“Sabi nga, parang  ne thing I learned in life, kahit artista ka, kahit intact ka sa emotions mo, it's never good to sit on a problem. 

(As they say, if there's one thing I learned in life, even if you're an actor, even if your emotions are intact, it's never good to sit on a problem)

“You always have to move forward and take challenges to be better,” he said.

Last March, Jake confirmed he and Sara Grace broke up. In June, after receiving his Best Actor award for the film Mulat, she was spotted attending the press conference, where Jake said they were working things out.

Jake is expected to attend the Star Magic Ball this weekend.– Rappler.com

MANILA, Philippines – A1 isn't shy about having fun with their fans, and they did just that at the press conference before their two Philippine concerts.

Ben Adams, Mark Read, and Christian Ingebrigtsen were at Novotel on Thursday, October 20, where they danced and sang with the journalists there.

One fan, who was asked by the event's host to sing "Like A Rose" before the boys arrived, was asked to get up and sing again.

"What are you going to sing for us today?" asked Ben as the reporter approached the mic. "It's like X Factor!"

When the reporter said he was nervous, Ben – who originally wrote the song for his mom – said, "Shall I come and stand next to you and sing it with you?"

Watch them duet the chorus of "Like A Rose" below!
