Bench x Ronnie Salvacion - 25 Things I Learned From My Bench Shoots - An Art Installation

Ronnie Salvacion has been working for Bench for years. One day, he gave Mr. Ben Chan a simple gift... it was a collage of photos from the past Bench photo shoots that he did which included some of the local and international stars that have been with Bench for the past 25 years. 

It was so touching that Mr. Ben Chan made it into a book, and got it printed as is. Aside from that, a whole exhibit cum art installation was also done at the Basement of the new posh Bench Tower. I've been so blessed to have been invited during the Lee Min Ho presscon, and this event came after that. Simply, it was nostalgic looking at these photos.. let alone the celebrities that were there too to witness the occasion.

You might know some of them =)

Mr. Ben Chan saw in Ronnie Salvacion something that nobody did, it was the artist in him. Congratulations on this great show! Now, here's a glimpse of the whole exhibit in a few minutes. Enjoy!

BENCH presents: LEE MIN HO "My Everything" Press Conference

This is actually my second time seeing him this near and mind I tell you he's got almost creamy flawless skin. I've never seen anyone this smooth, this approachable and appreciative at the same time. Oppa was a delight to hear while being interviewed. He was a little tired but he didn't show it. It started a little bit rough on the venue because everyone wanted to see him, take shots of him and videos too. So imagine the throng of people fighting their way in the front so they could do this. Yes, I'm part of that crowd too. It was hard, but I know I've got to at least give you what you wanted to see. Did you catch my live tweets? :) You should check @kumagcow on Twitter because I covered pretty much everything. But here's an even better treat for you guys.

I had problems where I had to take shots. See this crowd? This isn't even half of it.

Then when everyone was settled... he came in... of course I've heard screams!

He immediately said hi to everyone and proceeded to his seat in the middle for the interview. He waved a lot to his fans and to the media. He was a little tired I think from the trip but he kept smiling all throughout the interview. He inaugurated the building, this was held on the 21st floor of the new BENCH TOWER. =)

Don't you guys just want to melt every time he smiles like this?? =)

Sam Oh of ETC hosted the program. She was fun and bubbly. She made it easy for Lee Min Ho to get settled and the conversation was fun.

Cinema One Originals presents “Palitan” on SKYcable PAY-PER-VIEW!

I haven't watched this show yet but they said it's really good. Since it's also not shown in theaters anymore, what better way to do it but by just flicking the remote and watch it on Pay Per View. I've only been doing it for boxing and basketball matches but never thought that I could do it for a movie. Now for only a measly amount of Php 399 for 7 days.

Imagine you can experience watching these Filipino indie film masterpieces in standard definition right at the comforts of your own home. This is a service courtesy of the good people at SKYcable. With SKYcable PAY-PER-VIEW. This obra by Ato Bautista made a name for award winners Alex Medina and Mara Lopez, who only was able to do it on this film.

What's more is that they have other films in the pipeline and one of my favorites. It's the one directed by Antoinette Jadaone called, “Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay” starring no less than Lilia Cuntapay herself. It's slated to be on from June 16 to July 15.

To subscribe now, just call 381-0000 or visit their official website www.mysky.com.ph. You may also visit any SKYcable local branch nearest you.
