Avida Land South Park District Unveils Interactive 3D Street Art

Visited this place a couple weeks ago and the good news is that they never stopped putting art in this 6.6 hectare property. This community is just so vibrant, quite promising and the developments are just amazing because just as soon as we saw murals in January, there's new 3D paintings unveiled this month.

Who knew that it was possible to see art in a residential area, together with nature too. The artwork was made by John Mark Saycon, Neil Defeo and Melanio Bulauitan III of Guhit Sudlungan, a group of visual artists who joined Avida's 3D Street Painting competition back in 2011. They got the help of co-artists Brian Defeo, Emil Aldrine Alarcon, Didier Marc Alarcon, Jefferson Malong and Jervin Ferrer to finish this new project this year.

Avida Land Marketing Head Ms. Tess Tatco says "I'm excited about these new attractions we have in the South Park District so people would see how talented our young local Filipino artists are. I hope people would come and see this in person and feel how much joy this brings. This says a lot about how we want to have the part city, part nature, pure south dream a reality in this location."  

If you want to see this new piece and other art installations in the property, just visit the Avida Towers Ardane Showroom and ask for it. Take lots of photos and make sure to show your friends and family. Might as well try to live in this district, because the south is definitely a livable area. A change of ambiance would be fun!

McCoy De Leon Stars in "INSTALADO" for TOFARM Film Festival 2017

He's cute, he can dance, he loves Elise and this time, he can act - as the dashing McCoy De Leon stars in this Jason Laxamana film called INSTALADO. This film is the only weird good, or different entry that caught my eye during the reveal of the 6 entries for TOFARM Film Festival. I said that because this one boils on sci-fi, a genre which is very difficult to connect to the festival's theme. They are also tallking about something that is affecting a lot of Filipino farmers, the next generation, their sons and daughters who had been able to attain education but chose different vocations leaving hundreds of agricultural land to waste and aging farmers.

This controversy has span ages and is the reality. Do you know that the average age of our farmers is 60 years old? That's actually also getting higher and if there's no one doing the farming, there will be no one putting food on the table, nobody tilling the soil, and if that's the case, prices will go high, people will go hungry and we have to import food from other countries like China, Thailand because that's the only way we could supply the demand.

The sci-fi part of this movie is how people are educated, instead of going through school and books for years, a chip can be installed in their brain and do the work. Will this be beneficial to the industry? Or will it be just a nail to the coffin? Aside from McCoy De Leon's character Victor, he is also starring here together with Francis Magundayao and Junjun Quintana. This is going to be a very challenging role for McCoy but here's hoping he would be nominated for an acting award here and in other festivals they plan to put this in. It would be super nice though that the fans could support this early on especially during the run of TOFARM Film Festival. This movie will premier on July 12 at SM Megamall, SM Manila, Greenbelt 1, Gateway, Robinsons Galleria and Robinsons Metroeast.

SM Reveals 56 Grand Centerpieces This Christmas

I was greeted by tons of kids clad in red, gold and white outfits in a festive mood at SM North Edsa - The Block. How else can you celebrate the season but by being with your loved ones in the malls listening to kids sing, in strong fervor because it's been a tradition in SM Supermalls. I don't know about you but I'm always excited about what themes they always come out with every year and when they launched it this afternoon, it brought back memories of me and my folks when we used to always do this at SM. SM North this year is bringing a destination theme, much like the north pole. 

They will also be holding a huge sale until January 8 for kids apparel and also the chance to meet Santa Clause in the flesh courtesy of VIVO Smart Phones. They will also hold the annual Grand Magical Christmas Parade complete with life size elves, soldiers, ballerinas and teddy bears plus gift giving charity activities from SM Cares. 

Steven Tan says "When it comes to Christmas there's no one else better than Filipinos. We will unveil majestic Christmas installations all across the country. We will also make your yuletide season special at SM. You can also give back by giving Php 200 through our SM Christmas Bears OF Joy which SM cares is handling. We hope you enjoy going to our malls because we made it special for you!"

It was really fun, a feast for the eyes because when they unveiled it at the SM City North Edsa, it was magical and everything was moving on the installation. Heck it was snowing too! They will have separate ones in each SM Mall across the country so make sure you get your cameras ready!

SM Supermodel and endorser Hideo Muraoka was also there with his wife and cute kid! 

I think they will have special bears available for purchase. They will also be giving a corresponding one to a kid in need so in a sense, you are helping too by getting one! 

They will have a separate launch in SM Megamall this eveing so if you are around the area, be there at 7PM!
