The IPANEMA Selfeet Campaign

It was fun and colorful at the new IPANEMA concept store in SM North Edsa-Annex last week when they launched their new Selfeet campaign. Selfeet mainly means selfie with your feet and that starts right in the heart of Manila today. Just go to Robinsons Ermita today and you'll see James Reid and Nadine Lustre having fun with you through games, shows and a couple of #Selfeet on social media because they promise to get you to win Punta Fuego Batangas trips if you participate. Isn't that neat?

Aside from that. they'll do the same activity in Ayala Center in Cebu come October 12 and Abreeza Mall Davao on November 16. It'll be so much fun with the Ipanema endorsers and lovely people to help you choose the perfect pair if you're there.

Their brand of flipflops are really good, a tad more affordable too.

 I must say this aggressive marketing campaign by the brand just spells the flip flop industry in the Philippines must be really getting tough. It's a good thing. They also said that IPANEMA is surely going to open more stores before the year ends and even more next year. They don't really have a problem with building them but they just need more space. SM just doesn't have them anymore would you believe? :) But surely they will be seen in more locations nationwide so don't fret if you haven't experienced Ipanema yet, because they will be there.

Miguel Tanfelix's Touching Birthday with Special Kids

Yesterday, we went all the way to Dasmariñas Cavite to visit a publicly funded Dr. Jose P. Rizal Elementary School. It's right off the beaten path of Cavite which is very near Technological University of the Philippines in Dasmariñas. The school offers the regular Elementary curriculum and Special Education courses designed for kids that are differently abled or with special needs. We're here to celebrate the birthday of one of GMA's prized possessions and star of Niño, actor Miguel Tanfelix. His show battled with a real tough one over at the other channel but his show really held up mainly because the story was new and who wouldn't love an adorably guy playing it right? He chose to celebrate it with special people because just like his show, the cause somehow is really close with him. Other than that, it's worth the trip to his hometown because he lives quite near the school. It's his birthday but he wants to be the one to give gifts to the kids. Isn't that sweet?

The kids, their teachers, some with their parents and family patiently waited for the program to start. This is one of the few public schools that have special education facilities. It's not often that it happens and they're more lucky because even if it's not in Metro Manila, they have this.

The kids had so much fun going up on stage and playing some games with Miguel Tanfelix. His best friend who is also part of the show Renz Valerio came along to show his support. We talked to him after the show and he told us how important it is for him to be here. He's not just a friend while on cam but he makes it a point to be there for Miguel more if he's doing things like these off cam. He knows how kind hearted his friend is and he wants to be there in important occasions.

Find, Tweet Your Perfect Home from Property24 Philippines and Win!

The property sector in the Philippines is really getting busy. The boom everyone is anxiously waiting for is actually happening now, whilst some don't even know it. The economy is improving and people are actually earning relatively more than the previous years. Investing in this area has always been a really good thing to do, a bit of frustration comes when the issue of trust and confidence comes into play. We're talking about a great amount of money, if that wouldn't be something to be careful about then I don't know what else would. In the Philippines, there's one place everyone trusts when it comes to getting property online. 

Have you heard of www.Property24.com.ph? I've written about them a couple of months back here. Backed by one of the most trusted online selling portals in the world OLX.PH, Property24 has been able to establish itself as the go to resource for finding House and Lots, Condominiums, Apartments, Farms, Commercial and Industrial properties, Developments and Foreclosed properties in the Philippines. It also covers some developed African countries, listed some major cities in the Philippines and they even ask you if you want to see them all too.

The site can also accommodate and refine your search if you have a specific budget to work with just by indicating the minimum and maximum price. They can also indicate how many rooms, bathrooms they plan to have and the type of property they are looking for. As for the quality of listings, Property24 makes sure you won't be wasting time seeing unverified ones as everything goes through a strict screening process and applies the same strategies in other countries since they've been doing this for years now. They also employ point systems so you get to see reputable ones from those who are not. For brokers, agencies or  developers, this would be a dream too because you don't have to go out that much in the sun or rain in selling or renting properties anymore. Just imagine, 16 Million views a month would expose your listings and your brands with your target market. They'd also be cross posting this to OLX.PH, be seen in proprietary apps in iOS and Android. It will definitely spell your success. This would also be perfect for those planning to transfer to non flooding areas which we've seen these past few days.

To make your Property24 experience even better, the number 1 property website is launching a Twitter promo. You can get the chance to win an overnight stay in a 5-star hotel, isn't that neat? All you need to do is Follow the official Property24 Philippines Twitter account @Property24PH, find your perfect home in www.Property24.com.ph and tweet "I found #MyPerfectHome here: (URL of the listing)" and tag @Property24PH on Twitter. Your privacy settings must be set to public so they could see it. You can also tweet 10 times a day. This means that the more entries you make, the more chances of winning. They will also be giving away 5 consolation prizes aside from that 5-star hotel stay mentioned earlier. Just read the fine print below and you're good to go.

Finding your dream home shouldn't be complicated. It's easy when you use the website, iOS or Android app by Property24. I've used this a ton of times when friends ask me to find them a place near my neighborhood. If you're in the hunt for one, maybe this is the opportune time to do it. Investment wise, it's always a smart choice. It only takes a few minutes to see why Property24 is the number one resource to find your dream home, take a tour and don't just take my word for it.

Jake Cuenca Readies For Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute New York

Jake Cuenca

In a small gathering last Friday at the ELJ Building in ABSCBN, Jake Cuenca told us good news about his plans to study in New York at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute. He seems so grateful about everything that is happening with his career and it's going to be a gamble for him to be out of the limelight this long because as you know people tend to forget you when you're not on TV.

He wants to evolve, he loves his craft and his wish to have it mastered is his ultimate dream. Being accepted there is hard but he prioritized it and now it has beared fruit. He will continue to protray heavy roles and pick more quality ones than quantity. He is also renewing his contract with ABSCBN for two more years so you're going to surely see more of him when he comes back. If the antagonist role is pitched to him and he sees it would be good for his career he's not gonna think twice. He's also leaving with a "Maalaala mo kaya" episode opposite Jessy Mendiola on September 20. Also, he's still going to appear in the upcoming Bench Jeans and Underwear Fashion show entitled "The Naked Truth" this September 19.

He got so inspired after doing the Ivanna Chubbuck workshop with Star Magic a couple of months ago. He'll try to do theater and still want to do TV series and movies when he goes back to the Philippines. He's not thinking of getting a project there because he wants to learn, but if the opportunity presents itself he'll see what it can do for him in the whole picture. He feels blessed to also have done "Ikaw Lamang" even if a LOT of people already hated him for doing the role of Franco. He loves doing it and thanks Kim Chiu because almost all his scenes were with her. For the record, he never slapped her real. All of the scenes they had were cheated in that part because he had to take care of Kim like what she did for him. He will see to it that in his next shows, he would have to apply everything that he's learned and even go the extra mile to experiment by asking Directors nicely. 

He wants to do a project with Joel Lamangan if they'll be doing a play when he gets back. He's thinking to have this year's The Naked Truth to be his last fashion show and let the young ones do their thing, but of course he'll be finishing this with a bang and will make sure everyone remembers it so they'll have to watch out for that.
