Ogie Alcasid Is Chairman Of Opm2Go, The Local Version Of I-Tunes

OGIE ALCASID is president of OPM and chairman of OPM2Go. OPM stands for Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit and OPM2Go is for Original Pilipino Music To Go. "OPM2Go is the local equivalent of I-tunes," he says. "With this, people can now access songs and music by downloading it through their credit cards, phone load or OPM2Go cards. So far, we already have Viva and Vicor with 12,000 songs and about 80 independent companies. The other companies are still on a wait and see attitude. Okay lang kasi when I-tunes started, there was also a lot of reluctance on the part of record labels. This is also our way of giving an outlet to the musicians with no labels. We're charging only P10 to P15 per song, with the artist getting 50% of the net. What we want is for the masang Pinoy na namamahalan sa price ng buong CD to have cheaper access per song. Ang problem kasi dito sa'tin is the transition from CD to MP3 isn't established yet like in other countries. Patay ang negosyo ng recording kasi wala tayong I-tunes. So I called PARI ng recording industry and the telcos and they said we can do a local I-tunes, with a setup where downloads can be made through the phone, but we have to put up a company, so we now have OPM2Go.com as an online store."

OPM2Go will officially be launched on March 28, Wednesday, 7 PM at Eastwood Central Plaza in Libis. Various artists and bands will perform . Ogie will deliver a keynote address introducing the brand to the public and media outlets. It'll be a historic event with the public invited to use their mobile gadgets to order directly from the online store.

Camille Prats Gets To Work With Gma-7'S Top Child Superstars

CAMILLE PRATS had a great time playing mother to child star Mona Louise Ray in "Munting Heredera". She now plays mom to another GMA tot superstar, Jillian Ward, in "Spooky Nights Presents Premonisyon" tomorrow night after "Manny Many Prizes". In the story, she's a nurse whose husband works abroad and when she goes to work, she leaves Jillian (called Princess) to her mom. She often dreams that Princess is drifting away from her. One night, she shows a black shadow coming out of the room of a patient, who died the next day. The incident happens again in the case of a child who also died after she sees the black shadow with it. She realizes that the black shadow must be the Grim Reaper.

On her day off, she takes Princess to the playground and her child gets hurt while playing on the slide. She rushes the girl to the hospital to be treated but she sees the black shadow coming near Princess so she takes her child home. The black shadow follows them. It turns out it's not after Princess but she herself is the one destined to die. What will she do then to prevent the black shadow from getting her?

"I enjoyed doing this horror episode," says Camille. "Matatakot talaga ang viewers. And I also enjoyed working with Jillian. Napakahusay niya and now I can say that I've worked with both the best child stars of GMA-7."
