7-Eleven Philippines Introduces City Blends

My #StatusItsComplicated pose LOL

What's your status?

The good people from 7-Eleven Philippines just wanted to ask you that question. It just happened to be a little near Valentine's day so it kinda feels a little awkward, but don't worry because it's just coffee.

They call this CITY BLENDS. When you're already tired from that over hyped, over priced and over fancy coffee, 7-Eleven Philippines just did it simply wonderful. It dawned on them that the real successful way to sell this product is by keeping it real. They want it simple, cutting slack of bringing you that same journey of bean to cup. They found the best machine for the job and set it inside selected stores in the metro. Their goal is to have this whole experience available for everyone in 700 stores within the year. A feat so great, they're challenging themselves to get you all these at a very affordable price, in cups that specifically reflect the season too.

Whether you're Single, Taken or Complicated this Valentines day, you have the choice to show your own status and get the best bang for the buck cup of coffee from their stores. You think I'm joking?

It's honest, yes, it's honest to goodness coffee in a cup. It's also easy to brew it yourself too because you basically just need to place the cup and press one button to enjoy this beverage. Check out our video below!

Aside from enjoying this coffee, I don't have to spend 180 pesos to get one. It only costs as low as 20 pesos for fresh, real coffee. Isn't that neat?

Executives from 7-Eleven Philippines say that this is just the beginning. They have more plans lined up for this new brand of coffee from their stores and it'll reach other branches real soon. Now, there's no more excuse, there's no more complaints to utter when all you want to have us just a cup of coffee. Best of all, it's easy to get it in 7-Eleven, the Philippines' number one 24 hour convenience store.

Kapuso Stars Visits Child Haus

 Vince Velasco, Sancho Delas Alas, Diva Montelaba, Stephanie Sol, Miggy Jimenez, Ervic Vijandre and Vince Gammad

We got to a small shelter in Quezon City called Child Haus, a haven for cancer patients from far flung areas in the Philippines. Aside from the visit, we're also celebrating the birthdays of Kapuso stars Vince Velasco, Sancho Delas Alas, Diva Montelaba, Stephanie Sol, Miggy Jimenez, Ervic Vijandre and Vince Gammad. Some of them, it's actually their first time to have an event with GMA Artist Center. They probably arranged this to get in touch with reality, to get on the more humane side of themselves, and also to at least make the children in this home a bit happy. That even in their condition, they would feel special, feel loved even just for a short while. It would also give them hope, to still dream, to become just like these stars... successful, blessed and infinitely happy.

The birthday celebrants were very happy. They played games, gave them great gifts and shared cakes in the program. The kids were all to happy too and accepted all the toys and goodies that were prepared for them. Later on, Vince Velasco, Sancho Delas Alas, Diva Montelaba, Stephanie Sol, Miggy Jimenez, Ervic Vijandre and Vince Gammad went in front and performed their songs, dances and gave their short messages to the kids. But when they almost were at the end of the program, they weren't prepared for what happened next. The kids lined up and went in front of the stars, then they started singing songs too, including one that thanked them for their efforts for celebrating their birthdays in the shelter. The kids then took out small trinkets and hand made birthday cards for the Kapuso stars... that's where they all started crying.

Vince Velasco and Sancho Delas Alas couldn't wipe away the smiles on their faces because they got to enjoy time with the kids, with Sancho even performing a magic trick for them during that afternoon. They gave their messages to the kids and told them to never lose hope because there are a lot of people praying for them, so they could get well and live their lives as normal as it could. Vince Velasco just did a Maynila episode called "Proxy Love" opposite Glaiza De Castro, he did pretty good in that stint. Sancho on the other hand is very new in GMA, he's set to have a lot of shows and workshops under GMA Artist Center. He also hasn't recovered much yet because his long time crush Marian Rivera just surprised him on his birthday, but still he's thankful to GMAC for letting him experience the charity event and promises he'll have more of it soon.

Brother Launches Customer+ Loyalty Program

One of the world's premier printer, sewing machine and labeling solutions manufacturer "Brother" just recently launched their new Customer+ Loyalty Program. This is a one of a kind fully integrated customer service program that provides state of the art training programs for new and some 7,000+ exisiting Brother printers and multifunction center customers in the Philippines.

Brother's very own Managing Executive Officer Takagumi Kamenouchi flew in from Japan and said "The Brother Group is glad that Borther Philippines is reaching out to customers. As we further strengthen the brand, we fully recognize the need of our Filipino consumers to be given our brand's service excellence with this program."

"Our loyalty program does not entail you to continually purchase products, we recognize that owning one already made you trust us. Brother is always by your side. We adhere to our global charter, we give superior value and gain your loyalty and this is a business policy. Without the customer, our company would not exist and this is your return of investment. It's where we hear your voice and we're here to listen, study everything and improve our products. We are going to improve your Brother experience." says Glenn Hocson, the President of Brother Philippines.

"Other than the user training, we also have our helpdesk. We have a dedicated line for those who really engage with us by having this Customer+ program. We also send monthly emails to get feedback from our customer+ users and special events. We take it personally, we make sure your feedback would be used to improve products further. With Customer+, you are more than a customer to us." he adds. 

During the event, they showcased their latest multifunction printers that can scan, fax, copy and download images over wifi or air print if you have iPhone too.

I love the Brother Sewing Machines, portable scanners, labelers and the office printers too. Pretty good stuff for OC people like me.

These other printers are also good for SOHO (small offices/home offices). They've got some from 6K to 13K range, but have more where you need it most. Troy Montero, Patty Laurel, Jeron and Jeric Teng, Ginoboi Quillamor, Marc Pingris, Danica Sotto Pingris, Patricia Prieto, Ginger Conejero and LA Tenorio was also there to witness the event. There were booths as well that have the different products of Brother and the foundations they support as a global company.

You should try out Brother too. Go visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/BROTHERatyourside and their official website http://www.brother.com.ph for their products and services.

The ULTIMATE Concert of Lani Misalucha, Gary Valenciano, Regine Velasquez and Martin Nievera

Ms. Anna Puno and Cacai Velasquez was so happy to announce that the tickets for the two day concert is already sold out! This was attributed to the ticket sales right after the first press conference.

Ms. Lani Misalucha, Mr. Gary Valenciano, Ms. Regine Velasquez and Mr. Martin Nievera were all there to thank the media and their sponsors. When asked about what would make their concert different, Martin says they're a dream team and they're even promoting other concerts aside from them. They say the industry in the Philippines already matured and it's wonderful that even small joints can be full because the audience wants to watch intimate concerts. Gary lauds the younger ones and hopes they would also be headliners soon, they have so much opportunities. Regine adds that younger singers do have concerts in the middle of the year and they do it in Valentines day which is easier to market. But really, how can we not agree on the fact that they are the creme dela creme of the Philippine music industry. 

Martin Nievera also got a surprise during the grand press conference, it was his birthday a few days ago so they had a cake delivered too!  

When asked about who they want to be the next Lani, it would be Morisette and Clarisse. Gary on the other hand stayed safe and didn't pick one, but he likes Sam Concepcion and he wishes he'd be given the chance to do so. For Regine, she wants Princess Sophia and Barney, she doesn't know anyone right now because she's busy. She prefers not to pick one and wishes everyone makes their own mark and be great at it. Morisette and Julie Ann Jose came to mind but she's sure they will make their own name. Martin prefers his son but he's trying so hard not to be like him. He also says Robi Domingo and Luis Manzano can do his style of hosting, and says they're really good.

Ms. Lani Misalucha seemed so humble. She said she was a bit intimidated about the lineup because they are accomplished singers. Even if Martin joles about her burping, she lauds them individually because their stature is no joke. Ms. Regine is funny and they said that if they don't know she's already in the venue, you'll hear her signature laugh and you're sure she's there. Martin is also very down to earth because she treats everyone the same, even goes the extra mile and serves his band their food. 

Ms. Cacai Velasquez also got surprised and got her cake wheeled in as well from Fernandos Bakeshop.

By the way, the proceeds for this concert will go to World Vision which is a charity that Cacai and her production supports too. They also had a booth that afternoon to get support for children who are still studying, but are in dire need.

They're happy that the concert is sold out but they're having live streaming too in selected SM Theaters, so go there and ask about it on the same dates! They also hope you would see the biggest and best show on the 15th! They're going to rest for a bit so they can be ready on those dates, for sure this will be one for the books!

Ciao!
