Hear, See and Feel The Male Perspective on D**kTalk

There are surely a lot of talk about this particular original theater piece by Edwin Vinarao and Christian Clemente called D***kTalk. You can say it's a little more like V****a Monologues but for the male form. This is written by Benj Cruz, Ara Vicencio and is still in the script development stages but they gave us early access, not to tease, but just to get a little taste of it.

Edgardo Boy Vinerao says "It's something I was excited about, this is our dream project. This is out of the box, and we meant it because this is talking about it, d***s. It's pretty taboo here, but there are so many good things to talk about, and understand. You'll be hearing voices of it, just like each and the rest of us. Parts of the line they do mirror real life. They are just one powerful cast. Hope to see you at the RCBC theater when shows start in April.

Direk Phil Noble adds "This is our first time to showcase the elements and text of our actors, and how their characters evolve. The questions of manhood, machismo, how big the body is, or how huge their d*** is. This play wants to spark talk on perspective of one's manhood, on what he goes through just like women. The thing is like the heart, we need to take care of it. It will be heard repeatedly until it becomes organic."

Yes, the talk delves more into measuring one's manhood. Filipino terms for it actually sound more vulgar but they went ahead and introduced it to the audience, to later, have it feel more normal and start a little discourse about it especially amongst adults which the performance wants to reach.  There will be no mansplaining,or maybe a little, and a few instances of talking about IT and how it differs in every generation. 

Jake Cuenca plays Peter, Mikoy Morales is Cecile, Nil Nodalo plays Rob, Gold Aceron is Junjun and Archi Adamos plays Doodz. They're in different stages in their lives, one is using his for work, the other for proof of sexuality, the other is wondering why it's shaped oddly. Then another one gets depressed if it doesn't work as efficiently, then another proves you don't need one at all. It was just the tip of the... iceberg and they didn't even touch on some personal issues, in jest, in angst, or just plain letting it all out on stage. In a Philippine setting, talk about this would really be unsettling for some but somehow, it needs to be said, it needs to be done so they're just doing it. 

This would be really tough to pull for actors since it involves a lot of TALK. It's going to be doubly harder to also keep YOU interested in what they're saying, and make you feel uncomfortable at times, but still listen to their message (like putting their d*** on your ear) for entertainment, education or your own realization.

 

The 10 shows will be mounted at the huge RCBC Theater from April 15-23, 2023. This excerpt of D**kTalk already have had the press, showbuyers and theatre folks lead to the conversation, and there's even more they plan to do on the actual show. If you're a bit artsy and don't mind a little discomfort on the tête a tête you'll have with the cast, get your tickets via ticketworld.com.ph and see what nice things you should hear, see and feel at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium starting on April 15th.

Whether you are a man, woman, LGBTQIA++, as long as you are 18 and above, you be sure to connect with one or more of the characters and make the premise of talking about the d***s (or maybe show it if they feel like it) as casually as they can on the day of the show. This is produced by V-Roll Media Ventures.

How Does It Feel to "Live Like a Panda!"?

Took time off the weekend and headed to a foodpanda event as they introduce to us a new campaign to encourage people like YOU to #LiveLikeAPanda. It's for the ones who have PAUssion for winning, who loves a challenge and things that matter to us.

Foodpanda PH's E-Commerce Lead Roj Tirona says "Today we will know how it is to Play Like a Panda. It's not with bamboos, or lounging around the whole day, but just taking time to those that matter to us, more of experience. We want consumers to know the things that matter to them, like food, groceries, things that make life enjoyable. Hopefully, once you play like a panda, you're gonna discover your passions much like Paupau in Foodpanda."

To start off, we got ourselves a few lanes and played bowling for a few hours. Some people started slow, but have played and got the groove after a few minutes. I played a few games and won tickets to trade for plushies, all in all, it was so much fun! When we got hungry, a simple order via foodpanda came in handy. Got myself a few ice cream halo-halo and much loved chow for family.

I think living like a panda seems easy for me. If it's bowling, arcade games, food, doing what matters to us, is what I've been doing in the last few years. panda has been a symbol for them, it's special because they eat whenever they want, sleep, and don't really care, they have inner peace by default and it's what they strive for in every customer. To have that freedom, to have the perks, pandas can inspire us to live a little. Pretty good thing no? 

Oh and before I forget, they plan to actually have a few merch issued in the Philippines within the year. From plushies, to pillows, to mugs and different paraphernalia, loyal foodpanda customers will soon get their hands on them for sure!

For now, we have time to become more enthusiastic in things that we do. Being a panda ain't that bad after all. Take time to do what matters to YOU most!

Meet New Rainmaker Games Ambassador BARBIE IMPERIAL

The landscape of gaming has definitely changed in the last few years, and with the introduction of NFT's, blockchain tech and P2E games in the country. I see it still in its infancy and really, see why a lot of Filipinos are engaged in it. You've seen a lot of them on social media either as a flex or genuinely want to help others to take advantage of how to earn while playing.

There are actual FREE P2E platforms now like Rainmaker Games which gives access to hundreds of games of this type. It's certainly a good way to obtain earnings while playing. Rainmaker Games stemmed from a gaming guild, but now they've partnered with huge brands like Polygon Studios. Here, they can switch with different games, manage their finances, chat online and learn the ropes with the same platform. What better way to celebrate this growth but by getting a celebrity ambassador like gamer and actress Barbie Imperial.

She's streamed several games including CODM, ROS, NBA, PUBG and moba Mobile Legends among other things. She's also not a stranger to P2E and the world of cryptocurrency.

Barbie says "If you want someone to teach you how, Rainmaker Games have coaches so you could learn more about it. They also don't hesistate to teach you how to invest your money wisely."

If you want to know more about P2E and their plaform, you can join their community on the Rainmaker Games platform, they also have a Facebook Page at Facebook.com/RainmakerDAO and their discord channel dsc.gg/rainmaker or their telegram account t.me/rainmakergames. You may also visit their official site rmg.io, and as they say there, let's make it rain y'all!
