"Pinoy Idol" which will commence in March in its new home network in the country. With this news comes the confirmation that Ryan Agoncillo (who successfully hosted "Philippine Idol" on ABC 5) has been taken in by ABS-CBN to host the second season of the network's answer to the reality talent search, " Pinoy Dream Academy ."
As it is Paolo Bediones got eliminated also from the list. We just don't know if Paolo takes it any harder since his game show "Whammy, Push Your Luck" with Rufa Mae Quinto on GMA 7 was not doing so well after it got clobbered by Kris Aquino's "Wheel of Fortune" during the pilot week of the game show on ABS-CBN.
This bit of news also puts to rest the long-circulating rumor that Regine Velasquez will be the one to host the said show. According to those in the know, the Idol guidelines carry that the host must not be a singer so Regine, basically, was disqualified right at the onset. So is Ogie Alcasid.
We heard that Raymond considers this latest development in his career as the greatest birthday gift ever accorded to him. He is just excited about his new hosting chore, which, in fact, is a highly-coveted position.
We tried to contact the Gutierrez's publicist Jun Lalin for details of this news, but he refused to say anything not wanting to preempt any move by the network.
In the meantime, let's all wait, with bated breath, the commencement of the local idol's second season in the Philippines in the next couple of months.
