On behalf of McDonald’s Philippines, I’d like to share and invite Pinoys to show their support for Filipino talent by voting for Florence Rafols at for Voice of McDonald’s (VOM) Season 4 Fan Favorite.

Unique to this season is the Fan Favorite component – a chance at one more honor and a cash prize of $5,000, before the Worldwide Convention. Videos of the 16 global semi-finalists are posted for audiences to get a taste of each contestant’s singing prowess. The online voting will go on until April 23.
I do hope dear readers that you’ll support by participating in this worldwide initiative to put the Philippines on the map.

Joining Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes in Warner Bros.’ new fantasy adventure “Wrath of the Titans” are new cast members playing critical roles. They are Edgar Ramirez (“The Bourne Ultimatum”) as Ares, Toby Kebbell (“Prince of Persia”) as Agenor and Rosamund Pike (“Die Another Day”) as Queen Andromeda.
Venezuelan actor Edgar Ramirez took on the part of Ares, embittered son of Zeus (Neeson). Resentful of the attention he feels his father has bestowed on his half-brother Perseus (Worthington), the god of war is out for blood.
Ramirez relished the role. “I grew up watching fantasy movies and always had a wish to be in one,” he reveals. “So to play Ares, one of the most prominent Olympian gods and, by definition, the greatest warrior ever, was a chance to fulfill that in a really fun way. Ares enjoys fighting for the sake of fighting; the heat of battle is what ignites this character. He’s violent and aggressive, with a very big ego, yet fragile in a way—his pride is easily deflated by what he perceives to be Zeus’ preference for Perseus, the son who never loved Zeus. Ares feels excluded, so when Hades presents him with an opportunity for revenge, he takes it.”
Another slighted offspring of the gods is Agenor, Poseidon’s (Danny Huston) long lost son who has turned into quite the criminal. Needing his innate expertise on the seas, Perseus seeks out Agenor, and finds him rotting in Queen Andromeda’s battlefield jail.
