JANE OINEZA and IAN VENERACION Shine in DRUG WAR: A Conspiracy of Silence Finale

Took the trip to Uptown Mall in BGC to watch the screening for the finale episode of the movie DRUG WAR: A Conspiracy of Silence release by Rein Entertainment and streamed on their YouTube channel every Thursdays. 

The episode starts with the onset of corruption and the consequences of  being linked to old circles. With money trails being found, and people are being treated like animals, the conspiracy of silencing them didn't really go far. Sergeant Yana (Jane Oineza) and Father Tom Carillo (Ian Veneracion) discovered who the culprit is. The previous cases became clear once the hidden paper trails resurfaced. This starts another round of effort to cover up the crimes when the same people heard them discovering it. 

The violence ensued, and those who kept getting caught in the web of becomes running targets. Will they survive this ordeal or will they get the same fate as those who got their demise in this campaign? When will the truth come out? Do they deserve becoming a statistic? Will justice be on their side?

The film teaches us that one incident affects a whole community, those who still fight despite the  huge imbalance in power, people still believe that there are folks who would one day stand behind them, be their voice, and will never be forgotten. 

Unfortunately, these stories are based on true events. The extra judicial incidents happened, and here's hoping their families never falter, have strength to seek justice til the end. Make sure you watch the series on YouTube at the Rein Entertainment channel.

Play, Learn, Grow with OATSIDE Kids

Parenting ain't a chore for most that are raising kids the right way. They want them to be well rounded, to not just stare at screens and tablets the whole day, but have ample time to also play outside, talk to other kids and build relationships too. 

According to Fred Rogers and Maria Montessori, play is like work for kids. This activity makes them learn things, like socialization, good manners, right conduct, and do simple research. It is also where human intelligence unfolds, form their imagination, and more. Powering them during these times require energy and nutrition that can be found in OATSIDE Kids.

She also stresses how one should give them ample amount of time for it, and would in turn become important for them as they grow. In the Philippines and clubs, OATSIDE Kids have been trusted by Moms. If you want them equipped before they go out and play, you know what to get off the shelves right?!

ICE SEGUERRA Set to Do Musicals on ICE SINGS!

Missing Ice Seguerra and his music?! Don't blink as she comes back to the stage for a two night concert at the Music Museum slated November 6 and 7 in Greenhills. It's entitled "ICE SINGS! An Intimate Convert Series: Musical Hits". 

He will be doing this together with US based producer Troy Laureta who's worked with the likes of Arianna Grande, Nicole Scherzinger, Justin Bieber among others. As his musical director, Troy will find several theater and film hits that would fit Ice's intimate way of singing songs, so it would feel closer than usual. 

Ms. Liza says "This all started over a casual conversation between me and Ice. Defining who he is now is something we could expand. A guitar and huge concerts, it has brought him places and this will bring him to that person who is a storyteller, and one that brings his message across. He wanted to do musicals, standards, and I was lucky to hear him song those who you will never even think he will do on stage, and this is Ice Sings!"

Ice laments "I've always performed with a guitar in tow but I've always had an inkling with musicals ever since. I'd be able to return to that phase and showcase what it means to me now."

Ice adds "In the past, I surrounded myself with singer songwriters and felt inadequate when I didn't sing my own songs on stage. It took a while to have the courage to come out with my own songs, it takes a lot for me to write songs, and I had to be sad. I also know when I put out something it'll be scrutinized. At that time I wasn't prepared for the reaction, but I was able to sing it in public and realized there wasn't any difference, I always give my all to the songs I sing, I was just overthinking. The "Kamusta Ka" single is out, but did it my way, without arrangements at first, I supplied my own story there. When I'm singing, there's this conscious effort to make it mine. Range was also a factor with choosing the songs, so if in doubt, make the guest sing it." 

Here's the press conference on video!

Fire and Ice Music is also planning to release songs that are Ice-ified probably next year so stay tuned for that.

These theater pieces will be done with Ice Seguerra's way of doing things. The arrangements will be done with the help of Troy who promises several instrumental moments which means you'll hear it different than usual. This is under Fire and Ice Live Productions of Ms. Liza Diño who's also doing creative direction for it. 

Tickets are available via TicketWorld, so go get them before they run out fast!
