One good reason to watch TV this Sunday.

Manikako will be featured on GMA 7′s Mel and Joey this Sunday at 8PM! Yesiree, some dolls are made for stardom.

The Manikako team at the most recent art workshop in Cambridge, Cubao. They are not as telegenic as the dolls.
Special thanks to Emera and Ping Medina for the wonderful donations!

I’m so gonna watch tv later. I usually don’t watch tv. But since manikako will be featured…OMG! I’m so excited!
July 23rd, 2007 - 17:38
Eep. I hope you were not disappointed.
July 22nd, 2007 - 12:42
ayos! so this is it! XD
July 23rd, 2007 - 17:40
Hopefully, this helps increase awareness for the project. Mayhap they will also invite Tita May to join the Sexbomb Dancers.
July 27th, 2007 - 23:06
i saw it! XD or i think a part of it…it was so short??? and i think they’ve mispronnounced Ms. Hannah’s surname..
anyway the kids look happy with their dolls and are really enjoying making some! congratulations to everybody involved for a very successful project!! XD

It was a good enough segment, despite Mel Tiangco mispronouncing Hannah’s surname and the false advertising about Mistula.
August 1st, 2007 - 23:01
false advertising? parang hindi ko nakita/narinig yun a…what did they do/say?
July 22nd, 2007 - 15:14
I wish we got Filipino TV with all the channels here… We have enough people from over there working as caretakers here to justify it, after all! D:
… any way to get it up on youtube?
July 23rd, 2007 - 17:41
We’ll try, Jun! I’ll let you know once it’s up on Youtube.
July 23rd, 2007 - 21:12
I have to watch it on youtube too!
July 22nd, 2007 - 20:30
I’m watching Mel and Joey right now. Ugh~ Sexbomb girls…why can’t they just cut to Manikako already?
July 23rd, 2007 - 10:43
I called my mother when the Manikako segment was finally on. Now she believes that I am part of a worthwhile organization and not just some distracting hobby club. Although she seems to be wresting with the idea of creativity being therapeutic. ^^;;

Manikako is a form of Art Therapy, which is the primary tool of psychologists in the treatment of trauma. It is an accepted and recognized technique. I wonder why your mother thinks of it as peculiar.
ARTHOC might be able to lend a bit more credibility to Manikako. Here is their website: http://www.trauma-interrupted.org/arthoc/
Could it be that she confuses the cause with ManikaManila and BJDs, which she deems a waste of your money and time? As much as I understand where she’s coming from, I hope you’re able to change her mind soon.
Good luck, Tin.

We’ll see when the Mistula segment’s up.
July 23rd, 2007 - 18:15
*hugs*

During the show’s teaser I seemed to glimpsed Miss Joey along with Uno and Lobo (different scene frames). Imagine my surprise when the segment opened up with Uno, then Lugosi and Lobo. It was a good segment to increase the awareness of the public for the Manikako Project.
Ah, so the girl with the orange blouse was Professor Datuin. 1 more girl and I will know the whole group on the 2nd photo via their names. (oh my… I sound like a stalker… uguu~)

The Mel and Joey crew did come to interview me about Manikako but upon seeing the BJDs, their interest was riveted to Mistula. They later informed me that they’re going to make a separate segment about the virtual doll band for one of their future episodes. I had thought they will include it in this episode but there seemed to have been a change of plans. I’ll keep you posted.
Hmm, Wiji is the only girl on the picture that was not at the Toycon booth. So there you go, Jayjay.
July 23rd, 2007 - 22:03
whoa!! I thought it was cut out from their segment but it turned out to be a good thing since, Mistula will have their very own segment. weeee!!!! lucky lucky lucky!
thanks Miss Joey. ^^
July 23rd, 2007 - 00:05
Yey! More Manikako awareness
and I got to see Uno, Lugosi, Lobo and Manx on TV
The CM and the segment teaser were misleading though. I thought Joey’s also going to talk about BJDs’ therapy abilities.
July 23rd, 2007 - 09:02
So true Miss Kishi.
July 23rd, 2007 - 18:24
See comment above.
The crew did come to interview me about Manikako but decided to make a full-blown segment about Mistula instead. The footages you saw where from the Mistula interview. Apparently, the producer decided to include it in another episode at the last minute. As to when it will air, I have yet to know.
July 24th, 2007 - 17:20
Yipee Mistula interview!
I wonder if Mistula will become a kapuso or a kapamilya **cough cough** **runs away** I can already hear “Nuuuu!” in the background ^^
July 23rd, 2007 - 17:18
Hey!!! I already watched it and I saw Lugosi and Uno standing!!! (The dolls, I emant, the dolls)…
I love sundays…
July 23rd, 2007 - 18:26
Goodness, you would’ve missed them if you blinked. I was wondering why they had to include those footages when they were shot for an entirely different purpose. How baffling.
Lugosi and the rest of the guys were shown in another GMA program called Lovely Day. I will try to upload the segment one of these days.
July 25th, 2007 - 14:38
LOVELY DAY???!!! THEY FEATURED THE GUYS ON LOVELY DAY?! PLEEEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!! yOU REALLY HAVE TO UPLOAD THAT SEGMENT……
July 24th, 2007 - 17:19
Yep!!! I’ll watch it this Sunday!!!!
July 24th, 2007 - 17:22
I first saw you mistula from lovely day… I Love It!!!!
July 24th, 2007 - 17:46
sana kapuso tayo mistula hehe!!!!
July 25th, 2007 - 11:18
Waaaaaaaaaaaaw… i wish I had TV, I wanna see more of Lobo… T_T
Sana wag kayong maging mainstream dahil sa TV exposure…
July 26th, 2007 - 10:44
I’m sorry to say Lobo wasn’t there…
July 28th, 2007 - 01:46
Lobo was at the Mel&Joey teaser and segment intro. It’s hard to miss the red spikes.
July 29th, 2007 - 16:17
That was so cool! I want my own Manikako!
August 1st, 2007 - 18:28
WHHHATTT MISTULA WAS FEATURED ON LOVELY DAY AND THEN MANIKAKO ON MEL & JOEY ???? huh huh (i miss half of my life) T__T
August 7th, 2007 - 02:41
“They are not as telegenic as the dolls.” Have to disagree with that. XD Congratulations once more! Mistula really gets around.
