MANILA, Philippines -- Samsung Electronics Co. launched its latest Galaxy S smartphone in the Philippines on Tuesday night, with the third generation model expected to be even more successful than its predecessor.

The Galaxy S3, which will be available in the Philippines on June 1, was launched at a party at the Bonifacio Global City, which was attended by several Kapamilya stars, led by endorser Sam Milby.

Also seen at the event were former Miss Universe runner-up Venus Raj with boyfriend Andrei Felix, actress Rica Peralejo and singer Jed Madela.

“The phone is designed to be both effortlessly smart and intuitively simple, the Galaxy S3 has been created with our human needs and capabilities in mind,” JK Shin, president and head of IT and mobile communications of Samsung.

“It enables its user to enjoy a seamless, natural and human-centric mobile experience,” Shin added.

The Galaxy S3, which will hit stores in 28 European and Middle East countries, including Germany and Britain, on Tuesday, tracks the user's eye movements to keep the screen from dimming or turning off while in use.

Running on Google's Android operating system, the new smatyphone boasts a 4.8-inch screen, bigger than the 3.5-inch display on Apple's iPhone 4S and the 4.7-inch screen on HTC's One X model...

Sam Milby, Touching Down On His Hollywood Dream

May 28, 2012
By Media Circus

Sam Milby can’t avoid being very emotional last Sunday when he was with his interview on The Buzz and claimed that he was very-touched by her elder sister Ada which he have given a cheer-up. In fact, they were being apart from each other before they’ve met again. When Sam was asked if how special is her sister to him, “The fact that we are so close, I’ve never said this ever since I was little. We’re only 10 months apart. Irish twins kami,” Sam started . “We’re both 28 ngayon, kahit noong bata ako… how much I really look up to her, in everything talaga.” Ganito rin daw siya nagkaroon ng interes sa skating dahil idolo niya ang kanyang kapatid. “I always followed what she did, I looked up to her,” He said.

Sam’s message for her beloved sister, “You don’t understand I how glad I am to have you here. It’s been so long, we haven’t been able to hang out. I don’t want you to go back (to the US). I want you to stay here and thank you for always being the role model and I love you, thank you.”

“Hollywood Dream”, one of Sam’s dream that he is carefully pursuing right now. He honestly added that it is not easy to audition, he said, “Lalo na ‘yung first (time to audition) kasi dito sa Pilipinas kapag may pangalan ka na, hindi ka naman nago-audition, so ‘yung mga first auditions (sa US) nanibago ako.”

Sam have been in US to find ways and to learn something inorder to achieve his so called “Hollywood Dream” “Lalo kong naa-appreciate ‘yung nangyayari sa buhay ko dito, sa career ko dito,” The actor stated.

"Sam reveals real score with US beauty queen"

from ABS-CBNnews.com
Posted at 05/28/2012 12:24 PM 



Actor Sam Milby and Miss Teen USA New York 2006 Candace Kuykendall.
MANILA, Philippines -- Actor Sam Milby denied that he's dating Miss Teen USA New York 2006 Candace Kuykendall.

In an interview on "The Buzz" on Sunday, Milby said he met Kuykendall at a modeling agency in New York but stressed that they are just good friends since the beauty queen has a boyfriend.

"We became friends and I said this sa 'Bandila'... I knew from the start may boyfriend siya kaya yon, I do like her pero 'yon we can't (be together). Because of the fact na may boyfriend siya I don't allow myself na 'oh in love na ako'. You know what I mean? I have my own reservations naman," Milby said.

"I mean that would be wrong for me to fall for a girl na may boyfriend na. Because my boyfriend siya hindi naman kami nag-uusap palagi. We've only known each other for a month. We keep in touch, we are friends and I like her, her values, matalino and she's very nice," he added.

Milby left the country early this year to pursue his dream of making it in Hollywood. He returned three months later to star in an upcoming television series for ABS-CBN with Judy Ann Santos.

"I'm excited kasi itong character na gagawin ko ay iba. Medyo grey, hindi tipong Sam na romantic,” Milby said.

Sam Milby says that he will continue his US auditions to pursue his Hollywood dream

5/27/2012 9:56 PM

by: Bernie Franco

Hindi maiwasan ni Sam Milby na maging sentimental sa kanyang interview sa The Buzz dahil masyado siyang na-touch sa papuri sa kanya ng kanyang nakatatandang kapatid na si Ada. Matagal kasing nagkahiwalay ang magkapatid bago sila muling nagkita. Kaya naman tinanong si Sam kung gaano ka-espesyal ang relasyon niya sa kanyang ate. 

“The fact that we are so close, I’ve never said this ever since I was little. We’re only 10 months apart. Irish twins kami,” pahayag ni Sam. “We’re both 28 ngayon, kahit noong bata ako… how much I really look up to her, in everything talaga.” Ganito rin daw siya nagkaroon ng interes sa skating dahil idolo niya ang kanyang kapatid.  “I always followed what she did, I looked up to her,” aniya. 

Para naman sa mensahe niya sa kanyang sister, ani Sam, “You don’t understand I how glad I am to have you here. It’s been so long, we haven’t been able to hang out. I don’t want you to go back (to the US). I want you to stay here and thank you for always being the role model and I love you, thank you.” 

Samantala, ipinahayag din ni Sam na patuloy ang kanyang pagpupursige para makamit ang kanyang Hollywood dream. Aminado siya na hindi madali ang kanyang pag-o-audition doon. “Lalo na ‘yung first (time to audition) kasi dito sa Pilipinas kapag may pangalan ka na, hindi ka naman nago-audition, so ‘yung mga first auditions (sa US) nanibago ako.” 

Kakagaling lang ni Sam sa US at aniya, marami niyang natutunan sa kanyang auditions sa pagsusumikap na maisakatuparan ang kanyang Hollywood dream. “Lalo kong naa-appreciate ‘yung nangyayari sa buhay ko dito, sa career ko dito,” pahayag ng aktor. Masuwerte raw siya na kahit ‘di na niya kailangang mag-audition sa mga proyekto ay ibinibigay sa kanya ang magagandang proyekto ng ABS-CBN.  “But the (US) experience also, it was a confidence-booster para sa akin, it is Hollywood.” Aniya, maganda raw ang feedback na ibinigay sa kanya sa kanyang ginawang auditions at malaking compliment din daw na ang agent na kumuha sa kanya ay malaking pangalan sa Hollywood.

Sam Milby and Yeng Constantino surprise 'PBB Teen Edition 4' housemates

by ABS-CBN Corp. Comm. | May 22, 2012 8:37 AM

Fresh from his venture into the Hollywood scene, Kapamilya musician-actor Sam Milby went straight to the Pinoy Big Brother House with singer Yeng Constantino to teach the teen housemates of “PBB Teen Edition 4” the basics of performing live.

The housemates have continued their preparations for the “Build a Big Dream Concert” that was rescheduled this Thursday (May 24) due to their escalating dispute over food last week. Artists such as Emmanuelle, Krissy and Ericka, and The Lamars also gave them pieces of advice on how to engage their audience.

Meanwhile, a special task was given to Alec, Roy, and Ryan that will determine who among them will be automatically nominated for eviction after discussing potential nomination choices, which is a grave violation against the house rules. Kit and Yves were initially named as nominees in danger of getting the boot this Saturday (May 26).

Hindi nagsisisi kahit puro auditions lang ang ginawa sa Hollywood, Sam, balik- Pinas na 
SHOWBIZ NEWS NOW NA! Ni Boy Abunda (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated May 18, 2012

Noong Miyerkules ay dumating na sa bansa si Sam Milby mula sa Amerika kung saan siya nag-audition para subukan ang career sa Hollywood. “It’s very worth it, it was a great experience. All the auditions and the great feedback, I just feel different from when I left here. I just have more desire to work and I gained more confidence. And I think there’s a misconception of things too, kasi wala akong balak dati na pumunta sa States to try it out there. It came to me, there was a network that liked me and got me an agency there. So I’m thankful sa lahat ng nangyari,” pagbabahagi ni Sam.


Samantala, masayang-masaya rin si Sam dahil nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataong makasama ang kanyang ama habang siya ay nasa Amerika. “Pumunta siya sa New York for four days. Siguro sa buong buhay ko, ‘yun ang pinaka-bonding namin kasi workaholic talaga ang tatay ko. I just realized we had all the time to just enjoy our time together, nag-usap kami. I got to learn more about ‘yung pamilya ko sa side ng tatay ko. He’s not retired, meron pa siyang negosyo. He’s turning seventy eight years old this October,” pagtatapos ng aktor.


Ayon pa kay Sam ay siguradong babalik ulit siya doon sa isang taon para muling mag-audition para sa ilang mga proyekto.

Sam Milby Bedazzled By An NYC-based Model

By MAUREEN MARIE BELMONTE

May 19, 2012, 3:56pm

Sam has just returned to the country on Wednesday, May 16, after almost four months in New York City (Promotional Photo)

MANILA, Philippines – Acoustic heartthrob Sam Milby has returned to the country with a content heart not only because he has been able to take some time to pursue his “American dream” but also because he’s able to fulfill a wish—to find new love in the Big Apple.

“I did meet somebody, nakilala ko siya [within] a month and a half [of my stay there]…” Milby told PEP in a report posted on May 18.

Although he wasn't trying to hide that he "likes" her, Milby was a little careful in dishing out details about the lucky girl so as not to preempt whatever it is that could bloom between them.

“Hindi ko pa puwedeng sabihin ang name niya kasi we’re just friends, pero gusto ko siya... ‘pag may something na talaga,” he assured, while adding, “Mahirap naman kasi nandito na ako ulit tapos nasa New York siya.”

According to him, his mystery girl is of Irish, German, Dutch and Filipino descent and is a model in New York City.

“Hindi pa siya nakakapunta dito sa Pilipinas, pero nag-modelling na siya sa SG [Singapore],” the singer-actor related.

Milby shared he was attracted to her because of her values.

“She’s a college graduate but… in modelling, there’s a lot of things that thay want you to do pero hindi niya ginagawa ‘cause she doesn’t believe it to be right—and I just really appreciate that,” he enthused.

Aside from being a “very driven” person with “a lot of discipline,” Milby also described her as someone kind and beautiful.

Father and son bonding

He might not have snagged a deal in NYC but aside from meeting someone, another good thing he experienced in the US is being able to spend quality time with his father.

Milby shared that his father flew all the way from Ohio to New York to spend time with him for four, full days.

“’Yun siguro sa buong buhay ko ang pinaka-bonding namin kasi workaholic talaga ang tatay ko,” the 27-year-old Kapamilya talent recalled.

Sam Milby shares details about dating a model in New York

5/18/2012 
by: Rachelle Siazon


Sam Milby didn’t hide the fact that a special girl caught his eye while he was living in New York for three and a half months. Aside from pursuing his Hollywood dream, the dashing actor had also expressed his wish to find new love before leaving for the States last February. “I did meet somebody. Hindi pa naman pwede sabihin [yung detalye]. We’re just friends pero gusto ko siya. She's quarter Pinay [and a mix] of Dutch, Irish, and German,” he revealed in an interview with Push.com.ph last May 16.

Although they’ve known each other for only a month or so, Sam shared that his mystery girl is someone he’d like to be in a relationship with if given the chance. “It’s just because of the fact that we’re still friends so ayoko naman [sabihin yung name niya], kapag may something na talaga. Mahirap naman kasi nandito na ako ulit [tapos] nasa New York siya. Modelo siya dun. Pero nagtratrabaho siya sa New York. Hindi pa siya nakakapunta dito sa Pilipinas, pero nag-modeling na siya sa Singapore.”

Sam further stated that he was wowed not only by her good looks, but more so with her integrity and personal beliefs. “Nagustuhan ko yung values niya. She’s a college graduate. [And she’s] doing modeling too. In her line of work, there are a lot of things that they want you to do pero hindi niya ginagawa because she doesn’t believe it to be right. And I just really appreciate that. She’s very driven, she has a lot of discipline, ang bait talaga and very beautiful. I’ve only known her for a month and a half pero gusto ko siya,” he beamed. 

In the meantime, Sam is excited about his upcoming projects now that he’s back in Manila. As a matter of fact, he’ll be a guest co-host of Sarah Geronimo in Sarah G Live on May 20. He’s also set to meet with ABS-CBN executives regarding a teleserye with Judy Ann Santos. “From what I know so far, may teleserye ako with Judy Ann Santos and Jessy Mendiola. Later this week malalaman ko kung anong kwento. First time ko to work with Judy Ann so malaking privilege talaga to work with someone with that high status in showbiz. Alam ko madami akong matututunan sa kanya. I’ve never worked with her before. I know her and Ryan Agoncillo so I’m excited.”

Sam Milby returns to do a teleserye; reveals meeting a model in New York that he really likes

Sam Milby on trying his luck in New York: “I can say it’s very worth it. It’s because of the fact that it was a great experience, all the auditions and the great feedbacks—and I’m going back. I know there are lots of auditions na mami-miss ko habang nandito ako, but I feel in a way different from when I left here. I just have more desire [to work] and I have more confidence."

Pagkatapos ng halos apat na buwang pagkawala sa Pilipinas para subukan ang kanyang kapalaran sa New York, bumalik na ng bansa ang Film-Am actor-singer na si Sam Milby noong Miyerkules ng hapon, May 16.


“Masaya! I’m so happy to be back!

“It’s been almost four months na wala ako dito sa Pilipinas, Feb. 1 ako nung umalis,” pagbati ni Sam nang makausap siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) pagdating niya sa bansa.

Ano ang nangyari sa kanya sa New York at kung may mga nakalinya na ba siyang trabaho na gagawin doon?

Ayon kay Sam, “Madaming auditions, madaming magandang nangyari.

“Ang gusto nila, mas matagal pa akong mag-stay. Pero naiintindihan nila na may prior commitments pa ako dito.

“So, babalik pa ako dun, likely around January of next year.

"May mga ongoing auditions ngayon, but yung main chunk is during those three months.”

Ayon pa kay Sam, sulit ang ginawa niyang pag-o-audition doon kung saan marami siyang natutuhan sa mga naging karanasan niya.

“I can say it’s very worth it,” sambit niya.

“It’s because of the fact that it was a great experience, all the auditions and the great feedbacks—and I’m going back.

“I know there are lots of auditions na mami-miss ko habang nandito ako, but I feel in a way different from when I left here.

“I just have more desire [to work] and I have more confidence.

“I think there’s misconception of things kasi wala akong balak dati na pumunta sa States to try it out there—but it came to me.

“There was a network that liked me and that got me an agency there, so I’m thankful sa lahat ng nangyari.”

THE AUDITIONS. Sabi rin ni Sam, iba ang sistema sa Amerika kung saan kahit sikat ka at may pangalan ay sasailaim ka sa auditions para sa isang proyekto.


At sa auditions na ito ay nakita at nakilala niya ang ilang Hollywood celebrities.

Kuwento ni Sam, “It’s all for the major networks, mga lalabas na shows sa CW, ABC, CBS, and mayroong isa sa HBO—and it went really well.

“Nagulat ako kasi sa… sa agency, I met Brooklyn Decker, kasama siya sa movie ni Adam Sandler, Just Go With It, at sa Battleship—bago itong pelikula na lalabas.

“’Tapos when I was at the audition, may nakita akong guy, parang familiar yung mukha.

“I was with a group of people, nag-uusap kami, ‘tapos nalaman ko na siya pala yung lead sa Entourage—si Adrian Grenier!

“Dun, kahit sikat na sikat, nag-o-audition din.

“I’m sure kapag may pangalan na, you get favoritism, of course.

“But still, if you read dun sa magazines, there are others who are not sikat, but they’ve done works, they get the jobs more than the ones that you would think they can get it.

“They all go through auditions and I think that’s actually fair ‘coz it gives everyone a fair chance.”

BONDING WITH HIS DAD. Ang kanyang pagpunta sa U.S. ay nagbigay rin ng pagkakataon kay Sam para makapag-bond sila ng kanyang American father.

“Pumunta siya sa New York for four days.

“Yun siguro sa buong buhay ko ang pinaka-bonding namin kasi workaholic talaga ang tatay ko.

“I just realized that we had all the time to just enjoy our time together.

“Nag-usap kami, I’ve got to learn more about yung pamilya ko sa side ng tatay ko.

“He’s not yet retired… mayroon pa siyang negosyo.


“He’s turning 78 this October… masipag siyang magtrabaho.”

Aminado si Sam na na-miss niya talaga ang Pilipinas at ang mga taong naging malapit sa kanya dito.

“Siyempre, matagal na ako dito sa Pilipinas.

“Ito ang pinakamatagal na wala ako in the seven years that I’ve been here.

“I have a family here, too—Star Magic, Cornerstone… Nene, my PA [personal assistant] has been with me for more than six years. “...
