GOYA is Taking You Places!

Monday, February 05, 2018


Had fun with blogger friends at the recent launch of Goya’s travel promo! Read on how to join!

It’s been a while since I’ve had a Goya chocolate. I think the last time was me trying the GOYA Double Hazelnut Spread which for me gave the competitor a run for it’s money. Actually, I can say it’s actually better than Nutella. I might have been watching my sugar intake but during my cheat days I really indulge in chocolate and Goya delivers in that department.




Now if you’ve been binging on chocolates from elsewhere around the world and not trying local flavors, you’re probably going to regret it because as of date, I think Goya has been improving their recipes over the years. I know a lot of people who wouldn’t even think of touching local chocolates, but I would gladly recommend you to close your eyes and compare it, it might really surprise you if you just try it. 

I think the quality of chocolates churning out from their factories completely changed than when I last had it. Whether it’s milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate or a drink, I was really dumbfounded why it actually tasted better even if it was a local brand. I think we’re just a little too colonial to say the least, and I bet if people would take a second look they’ll be glad these products actually came from the Philippines.




Goya had us attend a thanksgiving presscon in Marco Polo Ortigas a couple weeks ago and to start of the festivities, they got us to sample just about every Goya product possible. It was a LOT, but I had my eyes on a few who instantly became my favorites. I love the Goya Dark Chocolate, the lovely Goya Milk Chocolate with Almonds, the Goya White Chocolate, the Goya Pretzel Twists and the Goya Malt Crunch Maltitos... oh and I almost forgot the Goya Take It 4 Fingers which I love frozen or freshly taken out of the fridge. I was being skeptic before I had them, but I was convinced, some of these items if not all were actually better than the competing brands. They’ve actually put in the work to now be called World Class!



When the program resumed that evening, I saw my favorite jocks ever sans Delamar, it was Gino Quillamor and Chico Garcia of famed radio show The Morning Rush. I love Chichi and Gigi, you have no idea how much I just play it cool whenever I meet them when I’m already screaming expletives in my mind because I get starstrucked while they talk to me sometimes. Imagine the people I listen to banter and make funny antics on social media is just right in front of me, aggghh. If that wasn’t enough, they were the best people to introduce the world class endorser of world class chocolate brand Goya... our very own Queen Pia Wurtzbach.



The queen told us she just arrived from the UK and imagine how people there were surprised that she had about 2 suitcases full of Goya Chocolates to actually share with family and friends while she was in London. Our Queen knows how to actually promote, imagine the faces of people who miss Goya back home, she just gave them a piece of it, they all loved it too!



Since Chico and Gino was also very happy about how they got to talk to the 2015 Miss Universe, Chico started the conversations with lines that only beauty queens would dare answer. They didn’t also hold back asking Pia Wurtzbach for tips on how to walk, stand like a beauty queen and she gladly obliged.




I also saw one of the finest actors in the industry EA Guzman. I was so touched he still knew me for interviewing him in the past, plus he’s a good brother to my model friend Michelle. Ahh how time flies, he looks so good in person!

The PEDRO Fall/Winter Collection 2013

Thursday, September 19, 2013

I've been following this brand for quite some time now. Believe me, I've been looking on their shelves a lot and only manage to purchase one pair which I've been able to keep on my closet for a long time. I treasure it a lot; and I've been so blessed lately that I got to cover their Fall-Winter show last week. I've been drooling on the pieces they showed on the runway since then. I have got to get this out and tell you more about the brand PEDRO. They've got one of the most sophisticated lines of Men's and Women's Footwear plus an undoubtedly world class collection of Accessories. This season, they've got it all out in the open and gave Tim Gunn a new meaning on how to "Make it Work!"



There were celebrities of course like famed DJ Mia Ayesa, Male Supermodels and Benchsetters Vince Ferraren and Anthony Semerad, the one and only Ms. Kuh Ledesma and Ms. Daphne Osena-Paez whom I wasn't able to get a photo T_T. Suyen Corporation Executives were there too. Then they started the show!



Of course they had to show the Fall/Winter collection. I'm seeing stripes, relaxed cardigans, coats and oh so awesome shoes! Can I have all of these in size 12? =)


You can me smart casual, suited up, or wearing shorts, just as long as you have PEDRO in your wardrobe and shoes, you can't go wrong!


Cool and comfy coats, sweaters, crisp white shirt won't look bad with classic boat shoes that PEDRO has. It's fun, easy to wear and quite a lot of fun. Nothing fancy, but really stayed classy.


A combo of jeans, cardigan and jackets don't matter too as long as you have suede or faux leather shoes in different colors to match.


Don't be afraid of earth tones because it will only make your assets pop. If you are fair it will be even way better since it'll be cooler to the eyes. Don't be afraid to wear something urban, something of color and texture too!

Then it was time for the gorgeous ladies!




This time they went for intense colors, clean lines and shoes of different heights. Key pieces here are the skirt, the dress and the small clutch. It's way pretty!



Form fitting but still clean lines. I love what the model on the left is wearing. She's Elite Manila's Luane Pasinatto. Pretty no? It reminds me of ladies partying on a yacht; or something to that effect.


Key pieces: The blazer and this awesome print on the pants. It's urban yet they mix and match patters and fabrics. That looks awesome in my books!


I like the fancy shoes! =) Real men wear Fuchsia Pink laces! LOL This is so much fun!


Just by looking at it, they are executing their theme for this season. It's what they call URBAN MODERNISM. We've got layers, textures and colors but mostly on the earth tones. Even if they are structured they still have different fabrics in them so the feel is totally unconventional.


For those who crave for sophisticated independence and want to still exude the feminine silhouette, you can suit up with PEDRO and play along with their blue, green, red and black palettes. Their edgy stilletto pumps that are intricately accessorized and embelished with metals, stones, fabric can ultimately spell your look for this coming season. Bags, clutches that would look so perfect with your outfit are also gonna be out soon.




Men on the other hand need not despair. The versatility and character of the classic browns, maroons, deep blue, cool greys, purple, green and orange hues would be your muse if you want to find balance, sleekness and cleaner lines which is a must this holiday season. Enjoy PEDRO's quality stitching on all their classy footwear and a throng of stylish briefcases studded in metal hardware that puts you on top in the style department. The brand managed to pull it off in this Fall-Winter collection and I've never been so proud I got to witness that first hand on this show. Now it's your turn to impress, so be a nice chap and visit PEDRO stores near you! After all, you deserve to be the man and woman who embodies urban modernism at its finest!
