New Album: Jed Madela All Original

I first saw Jed Madela during the charity concert in Nuvali last year for the benefit of the families of fallen soldiers and their kids. That one particular performance made me realize that he's definitely a powerful singer, no wonder he's brought the country pride by winning World Championships here and there. The chills, the goosebumps you get would probably be a normal occurrence every time he goes on stage... we felt that a few days ago during the launch of his new album entitled Jed Madela ALL ORIGINAL.

We had ourselves glued on our seats to listen to his songs that afternoon expecting the usual ballads or belting songs he always gets to be identified with. It was a little crazy because we were stunned as he opened with a full EDM track. No joke. It was electronic dance music with his vocals on the track. That really put us off, but you know what? It really worked. It was different and showed his range. It's the track entitled Wish. The words could probably pass of as a romantic one but when it's arranged like that, it'll definitely put you in the mood to dance.

Jed also wants to help a lot of our up and coming singers by putting up a school soon. As of now, he's in organizations and programs that help individuals who started just like him. He's also training a couple of his relatives that asked for help since they probably want to follow in his footsteps. Let's face it, Jed can sing a phonebook and you would still believe it.

If you want to see a different kind of Jed Madela, it's time you buy his new album entitled Jed Madela ALL ORIGINAL. It's available in all leading music stores nationwide. It is released under your favorite Star Records.

Have you heard of Caritas Manila? Yes, it's the official Church of the Poor. They have just opened shops around the country to do just one thing, do charity. They are achieving this through their pet project SEGUNDA MANA - a charity store where anybody could donate 1) Used and pre loved items that may benefit others, 2) Slow and non moving inventories and 3) Goods that consume space in your closets, cabinets and garages. 

As a matter of fact, they just opened a new one in Marikina Riverbanks Mall which aims to support Caritas Manila's Youth Servant Leadership and Education Program. This is their 13th store!

There's over a hundred companies that are regularly donating for their cause and they have over a thousand less fortunate kids as their scholars now, there will be more soon. The help that they have been getting from individuals is tremendous. Even this branch was given free by the mall owners as a way to give back to the community. It was attended by Vice Mayor Dr. Jose Fabian I. Cadiz, Riverbanks Center's Owners Meneleo Carlos Jr and his daughter Rosario, plus the Caritas Manila board of trustees Rosario Villar and Francisco Hugo . From the diocese of Antipolo there's Father Mabini Caldo and Father Bienvenido Miguel who also officiated the store's blessing. 

The SEGUNDA MANA Charity Store also has branches in Caritas Manila head office in Pandacan, Makati Square, San Roque Cathedral, Harrison Plaza, Sta. Lucia Mall, Farmers Plaza, Isetann Cinerama Complex in Recto, Victory Central Mall in Caloocan, Starmall Edsa Shaw and Alabang, Victory Shopping Center in Alabang and Victory Pasay Mall in Pasay City.

6200 MISSION POSSIBLE: Bench and Congresswoman Lucy Torres-Gomez

A couple of days ago it was my first time to go to the new Fairview Terraces owned and operated by Ayala Malls. It was a bit special because Bench and Congresswoman Lucy Torres Gomez was launching 6200 Mission Possible, a charity that would benefit 6200 fishermen and their families by giving them their own fiber glass bancas that can last them for generations to come.

Lucy told us the story behind this cause. Initially Mr. Ben Chan was trying to help Yolanda victims through Ms. Lucy Torres Gomez. He usually gives funds to create these awesome bancas for the fishermen and their families. One became 5, then another, then another. They decided later on to make this formal and get the public to help with the cause. It's even easier now because it'll be through purchases in Bench stores that you'll be able to help.

Each 500 peso purchase of any Bench products will have a percentage of this sale go to the charity making it POSSIBLE for them to give these fishermen hope that they can work the next day and stop begging for relief goods by working again to feed their families. It's a more permanent way of solving the problems in that area.

Aside from Mr. Richard Gomez beside Congresswoman Lucy Torres Gomez, Bench and Suyen Corporation executives also chipped in to get these on head way. They also postponed their Christmas celebrations and donated the fund for this cause. They are still far from the target but they have already helped thousands of fisher folk through this charity. The rest would be up to you now. Just buy something for you or your loved ones in Bench stores and it'll automatically help them get the bancas they need to make a living.

Then a couple more celebrities came in to help

That's Kim Chiu, Enchong Dee, Marky Stroemm, Joseph Marco and the hot Teng brothers. 

Karylle, Lovi Poe, Richard Gomez, Rachelle Ann Go, Sir Ben Chan and Lucy Torres Gomez

Hello Kim Chiu! =)

As a symbolic gesture we also signed the commitment wall then floated a few paper bancas to symbolize our support for the cause. I loved this part!

To make you see the coverage even better, I got some of it on video. Apologies I was shooting with my DSLR on my right hand and holding my phone on the other. Hench it's a little shaky.
