Forest Lake Uniquely Celebrates Holidays with UNDASKO 2024
Tuesday, November 26, 2024
November 1st and 2nd actually is quite important for Filipinos. Celebrating All Saints and All Souls Day means remembering our dearly departed ones, but it sometimes feels a little awkward because we celebrate the Christmas season during the BER months. Both are huge occasions for us and recently, the folks at Forest Lake coined the term UNDASKO 2024 to celebrate both.
They made an event out of it and started a tradition in all Forest Lake parks by lighting up Christmas trees in the same occasion, and they did it simultaneously. It was so nice seeing them do it as a tribute for loved ones too. The event also earmarked promos, discounts, and services, for lot owners so they could feel how it is to have Total Memorial Care. They also showed various deals on lots, they also have Libing Anywhere, Libre burol, and Qronicle, the digital storytelling service they do during interment.
Families also enjoyed making memories, which was one things that they put importance to according to their CEO Alfred Xerez-Burgos III. He said "Thsi is an event where we encourage folks to share the joy of the holidays so they could celebrate love, the life of their loved ones and make more memories."
They have received a lot of positive feedback about it that they want to do it again in future years so they could better serve their communities. If you would want to learn more about it, just search forestlakememorialparks on Facebook. Do the same in IG, and TikTok where they are present to.
PIOLO PASCUAL for Historical Horror Flick "MALLARI"
Monday, June 19, 2023
The Philippines' most coveted leading man and muti-awarded actor Piolo Pascual is going to be portraying a role of a s3rial kill3r set in different timelines in Mentorque Productions "MALLARI". This is based on a true story of Juan Severino Mallari, a Catholic Priest who has taken the lives of supposed 57 individuals in the small town of Magalang, Pampanga. They'll be mixing in some fiction showcasing World War 2 and 2023 and tell how these in some way are connected, a scary premise which Piolo wanted to do since it is quite far from characters he has been reprising in previous movie projects.
He initially said no to this movie because of the mere fact that it will be physically and mentally exhausting to do 3 roles in 3 different times plus the work required for prosthetics wouldn't be pleasing each shooting day.
Producer Bryan Diamante of Mentorque Productions says "This is a dream project, Mallari is very challenging but I'm excited to bring this to the big screen. I strived to create films that bring the imaginations to movies, and I'm glad to be able to work with a heavily awarded director Derick Cabrido, and writer Enrico Santos. Thank you very much Mr. Piolo Pascual for accepting this project. Join us in creating a proudly Filipino production and concept."
Director Derick Cabrido has won several accolades in New York film festivals (medals in different years) and has worked in different documentaries, short films, indie films and full length ones that he's released in film festivals in different parts of the world.
Piolo says "It's a relief that you don't have to think about results or box office because of the platforms, but we have a plan for the film. My being in the cinema, my only role is do your best, I don't have to think about commercial success, it's something that I am looking forward to do, I have these chances and I am thankful to do Mallari. I am grateful, when it happens, it happens. Initially I said no, but in the same day I said yes, I just have to do what I have to do. I grew up in a Catholic family, school, and I respect them everyday and in church. I wanted to become one when I was 18, attended Prex back in the day to have an easy life. They told me I need to study, I had a few attempts but ended up as an artista. Father's day was also special, my son was there and gave me an infinity necklace, he spent the day with me and we are doing projects together. He's a very talented young man, he's evolving, becoming a total performer, composed a few songs and I listened to it all day. We have a few dates in July for a concert. And hope a dance showdown happens in the last quarter of this year."
Today was just the contract signing and they plan to do a separate announcement for the cast which they have already chosen. Stay tuned for that and the actual movie which they plan to be part of the coming Metro Manila Film Festival this coming holidays 2023.
