Mikee Quintos, Dudut, Chef Hazel and Chef Ylyt Host LUTONG BAHAY on GTV

4 people hosting a cooking  show, would you watch it? Well that's about to happen as Mikee Quintos, Team Payaman's Dudut, Chef Hazel and Chef Ylyt host a new show on GTV called LUTONG BAHAY. 

Direk says "They have their own flavor and personalities. Hazel does mom stories, Ylyt is technical, Dudut is comedy, while Mikee is very collaborative so she always asks what to do with our guests. It's new, and if it's not Mikee it wouldn't be like this."

Mikee says " I feel with all the projects I did before, it all starts with a character. In this one, I am only going to be doing me. I'm an empath according to my professors, and hosting this will mean I get to connect with people, bring out stories we want to hear. What I would ask will probably be what people want to ask, to humanize our artists. They are just like us and this could show that. My urge to cook is the locked in taping I had because in more than a month, I had to do everything by myself. That's when I started enjoying it, also with The Lost Recipe. To be fully honest, it's been a while since I did a show, I had a long break and I felt it. They told me not to overthink, and instead looked for new skills and had workshops for public speaking. They taught us how to host. And now I'm using that for this purpose. God is so good, I trusted him and he blessed me more."

Hazel shared "I started cooking when I was 8, and growing up in Divisoria, I always look at my Grandmother's cooking. I see them prepare, learn culinary stuff and became a Mom. I was surprised to be tapped here and asked why, I am just grateful. We have a lot to share with people, and our guests too. I am honored to be part of this."

Ylyt adds "I was just a home cook, but used my experience to do content through vlogs. I am still studying, a scholar in ISCAHM, it's very technical and my goal is to teach people what I can do. I didn't get much traction but when they chose me, I felt it is destiny. I want it to be a not so serious one, they get to learn from the guests too."

Dudut says "I know cooking is hard, I'm studying, I'm currently a home cook and cook for my friends. This opportunity makes me nervous, I asked why too, but I said, this is for me, I'm willing to learn as we get along."

It will premiere this coming Monday, 5:45 pm on GTV, go make your afternoon a relaxing one and see them cook, talk and share their stories.

Ginebra San Miguel Celebrates 190 Years with Archangel Reserve

Everyone was in a celebratory mood when we arrived at the ballroom of Novotel Araneta City. To mark Ginebra San Miguel's 190th Anniversary, they had us experience heritage, culture and the good things they whip up at their plants all these years.

Outside was a plethora of memorabilia, including age old bottles they use to contain their products, and how it evolved all through the years. While undoubtedly knowing its Filipino roots, the technology and corporate beginnings have all started in Manila in 1834. It was family owned, then spread throughout the country via major cities. It started a tradition, and products became high quality yet remained affordable. From their Ginebra San Miguel, GSM line, Premium Distilled, Antonov, Anejo Gold, Primera Light, Vino Kulafu, it became the most diverse subsidiary for products through San Miguel Corporation.

The event had a theatrical performance all throughout the night explaining the reason why the company has remained productive, through innovation and continue to become an integral part of Filipino celebrations for almost 2 centuries. The event was also graced by Ginebra San Miguel executives, celebrity endorsers like Boss Toyo, Mikee Quintos from Sparkle, and Attorney Oliver Moeller. Later in the evening, Nik Makino went up on stage and performed for everybody to celebrate #WorldGinDay. He's also a part of the endorsers tapped for this year, and he's mighty proud how his music and the countless Filipinos that made it viral on TikTok. He said he owes much of his success to the people who believed in him, and gives advice to only do it in legal age + and moderately.

Here's a glimpse of the event, please enjoy!

MIKEE QUINTOS Looks Forward To Work Again with Kelvin Miranda

Mikee Quintos just signed again with GMA Artist Center. With her powerful singing, acting prowess, she's made a lot of shows very interesting with her characters. What struck me most was the last one in The Lost Recipe because that one had so good story, editing, drone shots, the works! We also asked Mikee about her experience going into GMA grounds when she started, it was nice to reminisce about that. Then she also mentioned how she would want to work again with Kelvin Miranda, because honestly, they look good on screen.

Mikee says "When I first stepped in GMA, I felt right at home. Even if the building was intimidating, I didn't feel that at all. I want to work with Bea Alonzo, I feel I won't work with her, I'll just ride along because I have seen her work and I am fan girling. The experience here is self explanatory, I have my share of doubts because of bashers, but you know yourself more, that's important, do what you have to do. Don't carry the hate, that's heavy, just do what you can because that won't put food on the table. The biggest lessons I learned is to stay humble, that's what is important. My acting mentors have taught me a lot, when I'm on set, I speak the truth, wether comedy, drama, romcom, as long as you are true it will resonate. I would never forget their guidance. Kelvin and I have worked after the lost recipe, we talk about it, we hope we could do more because we just wish it happens. We pray for that, maybe if ever I'd try something simple, a romcom, a simple person with simple dreams, or maybe childhood friends who end up together, hopefully soon. It's so nice to feel how we went on the signing the first time, when I told them about it, they felt how I did feel that time. They know I trust them, it came with emotions of 6 years. I think I have grown a lot over the years, and I am so thankful for GMA for that."

Mikee is also in Pepito Manaloto, make sure you catch her there and every week on AOS. Congratulations dear! You're definitely going places!
