Honda Philippines Launches CBR 150R

Suzuki Mitsugishi welcomed us to the Honda Gen S Red Zone in BGC. He says "Our product, people and customers are important and we hope to continue to inspire more as the leader in the region. We are proud to launch the new sports bikes, it will be something that Filipinos would love to have. The race track is our testing ground and we won't put out something that doesn't pass that."

They added "The Gen S is for our customers that is more sporty and is looking for a more efficient motor. The joy of handling is what we look for in a bike, plus higher displacement, brute power, and be at a pocket friendly price. The ride can control engine power when needed, the CDR is improved maneuverability and styling. It's the weight reduction and mass centralization, strong but lightweight, reduced engine vibration and improved seat design, where you can get strong torque. The DOGC 6 speed engine is on a class leading performance, from low to mid and high end. It's also styled differently among other sports bikes."

Our motorbike sales in the Philippines has increased and we are at levels with India, Thailand and Indonesia. CBR150R is intended for the younger generation and Honda Philippines has been working hard to come out with new sports models to fit their lifestyle. It costs Php 150,000 (the black one), Php 152,000 (the red one) and Php 155,000 (for the orange one).

It's so nice I want one! It's a bit pricey but I think they've got installment plans for this. Just go to your friendly dealers today!

Greenwich Ultimate Bandkada Search Season 2

Hey Greenwich fans! The lovely pizza company just recently concluded their Ultimate Bandkada Search Season 2. I was there with a few blogger friends to see who's gonna win in the second installment. I had my favorites, but of course we're not going to divulge that yet. We have to see them perform LIVE and on stage!

Last year's winner B-Boys also performed. They've been touring around the Philippines to promote themselves and the brand. They did good, but now it's time for 8 bands to fight it off on stage.

The ACE FORM, HAPPY ENDING, MUSICO, SHALOM, PLETHORA, RELENTLESS, ABCG, ALAB performed in Valkyrie superclub in BGC. The event was also hosted by Andre Paras and Yassi Pressman and the venue was flooded with pizza, pasta and desserts from of course, Greenwich!

It was judged by JB Music's Denise Manahan, Civ Fontanilla, rap artist Shehyee, Yumi Laxamana and Up Dharma Down's Armi Millare. 

My thoughts:

ACE FORM had good music, but the vocalist was kinda pitchy on some instances. It's like a college band playing pop songs. The song was good coz it has recall especially on the chorus.

HAPPY ENDING showed quite how experienced they are. Their song was a mix of alternative, a little reggae and pop. It's like they've been doing this for a long time.

MUSICO sounded young. They had an alternative pop vibe on their song, it was quite happy. Maybe it's something that started from friendship, like a small jam session just to have fun.

SHALOM sounded a little matured, like a local showband who's been doing this for years. Like if you're in a bar and got there for music, they would be in it. The song they did sounded like a swan song for an action packed anime series. You get that? Lol

PLETHORA was a little dated, they felt like Guns and Roses mixed with a male version of Aegis, perhaps if you combine em. Their version was polished but again, might not connect with the young crowd. In a cruise maybe, sorry.

RELENTLESS had a very distinguishing manner of singing their song, like a band from the 90's. Melody and arrangement was quite nice, but you really have to stand out in order to win this, I just hope they did enough to do it.

ABCG was fun, fresh, not like other bands that performed that night. They've really got a good chance winning this. 

ALAB also sounded young, did something that sounded good in a car, or when you're traveling. Maybe they can get third place, or maybe I'm wrong LOL. 

In the end, everybody got their completion awards, but was and their fresh song that won it! Congratulations 1st Runner Up ABCG 2nd Runner Up HAPPY ENDING, and champion PLETHORA! Turns out the band I didn't like the most won it, but hey music is an art form, whatever might have sound great to me might not be the same for them! :) 

Thank you for having us Greenwich! Til the next one!

James Reid for Century Tuna

Century Tuna just launched a new TV commercial starring half of popular #JaDine love team, the good looking James Reid. They have already amassed 4.1 Million views and have been seen in a lot of sites. This is because they didn't want to be complacent so they thought of this to expand their market. 

James says "I don't have a routine. I always try to do different things because my body tend to relax if I repeat things. Tuna and high fiber diet is best for me because I'm an ectomorph. #Blessed"

With the things going for him in his career, his lovelife, he's been always successful. The brand believes James is the perfect endorser because he lives a healthy life and the consumers definitely see he's got it. He works hard for it, even if there's a gap in making the advertisement he works out which also surprised people from Century Tuna. How can women not love James Reid?

National flag carrier Philippine Airlines just made their bid to be the next 5 Star airline in Asia. They plan to do this in a couple of years and they made sure to expand the long list of companies that they'd be working together to be able to achieve this feat. It's not a long shot because other companies were already doing it but they made sure the heart of the Filipino would always be in the forefront, making it even more special.

We are both wanting to achieve perfection, in a market where more people are traveling more. We both recognize in our company that it is something important to us, we will keep it as long as possible. Thank you so much!" says Intercontinental Group Head Christian Pirodon.

Jaime Bautista of Philippine Airlines says "The executives unanimously want service beyond expectations for our customers and the goal is to be a 5 star carrier. Our vision is to be a 4 star airline in 2017, and 5 star in 2020. There are only 10 airlines in the world that have that and much of them are in Asia. For us to be able to get that we need to make our passengers happy and this is what we'll implement. We're proud to give our Mabuhay Miles members what they deserve,  we are forging partnerships in more industries. This latest collab with Holiday Inn will make our cardholders redeem world class places to stay, PAL wishes to hold this partnership for the long haul."

Mayette Casanova AVP for Loyalty Programs promises more options for members to earn more miles with more of their partners. Members can now earn miles when they wine, dine or stay in the hotel. Members can now redeem miles as well to pay for it in the hotel. 

Maricor Aquino of Holiday Inn Makati adds "We're having a promo with Philippine Airlines, with Stay Dine Fly, members can now get 50% off on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and for every night you get 500 miles. For Flavors, they will get 500 Miles for every Php 2000 spend valid on buffet lunch or dinner. So it's a great time to do it this long weekend."
