Showbiz Lingo Plus!

2 days on location!

This is a personal record of two days I spent on location with some of the presenters and crew of the ABS-CBN Channel 2 show Showbiz Lingo Plus. As a guest of one of the presenters, Pilar Mateo, I had a unique opportunity to experience a taste of the hectic life of a TV presenter! I attended two locations shoots on the 21st and 28th of February 1998 with the presenters Pilar, Aster Amoyo, and Dolly Anne Carvajal, and crew. On each occasion the shows were broadcast the following day.

For a piece that lasts only a few minutes on screen, many hours of work go into the preparation and implementation of it. Before it even gets to the stage I've documented here, all the interviews have been recorded, all the scripts written, and all the location visits arranged. After the filming is complete, it has to go to the editing suite so that everything can be put together for the broadcast the following day.

So come with me now as we follow the making of one of the segments of Showbiz Lingo Plus!
