#YATO (You Are The One) by Lance Raymundo

Lance Raymundo releases new music video for YATO

Yesterday we had the privilege of getting to talk to the one and only Lance Raymundo. I was able to talk to him a couple months back about his passion projects but I was so giddy to hear that he’s singing again, though he never did stop. The cause for celebration yesterday was the release of his new music video for #YATO (You Are The One). Know that this single has been released years ago but it now had suddenly got a breath of fresh air with the help of a couple individuals and his management company Viva Artists Agency who gave him the nod of doing this in a different time.

Lance says "We hardly changed anything because it just was made with an acoustic vibe. It is always exciting to see your stats up in spotify. According to Viva they expect me to release a song, it's something to look forward to."

He adds “Perhaps soon, I want to do a collaboration with my brother because he's my idol. I hope that becomes a reality.“

Sure enough, this single is now getting a lot of plays in digital music apps like Spotify, more so in this particular weather when you just would want to cuddle up, grab a cup of coffee and reminisce about life and love. When I saw the video yesterday, I was a little taken aback with the way they told the story. For those who do not know, Lance met an accident in a gym a few years ago. It immobilized him for a couple of months and had to undergo several operations to restore his face plus a few sessions for rehab. He’s completely okay now but that for any person would have been traumatic and he personally wanted to include that story in the video so it could reach more people and learn from it. Aside from that, he mentions this is slightly autobiographical. It made me a little sad remembering that incident, but I do get his point. The video also tackled things about love and how it could be in ways, very unconditional. If that happens to you, then that is when you can finally say that you have found “The One”, things that we have all wished for.

Here’s two videos from the talk we had inside Black Maria Theatre in San Juan City.

Lance talks about his past, his ex, and his music

I adore Lance as a person because he has been so nice to me. Every time we meet it’s like meeting an old friend and that is quite unusual for artists these days when they meet little ol bloggers like me. He’s very humble, down to earth and very approachable. Hope you get to see this music video very soon and listen to his music available for download on Spotify and other digital stores. It’s time to fall in love with who he really is, and his music!

Congratulations Lance! I am so happy for you!

Maricris Garcia for MAR1CR1S Concert On September 28

How long is 11 years? If you think about it, that’s already a grown child. This time though it’s Maricris Garcia’s length of stay in the industry. The talented singer and actress isn’t holding back, she’s giving you one BIG concert at the Teatrino in Greenhills. She’s ready than ever and promises this time, she’ll be doing tons of music, entertaining numbers and a trip down memory lane with MAR1CR1S this 28th of September.

The show will be directed by Marc Lopez and will be more of a story telling format. She laments “I really want to share my journey, all from when I started my career, my life, my music influences. I really want to thank GMA Artist Center and a few other people who made this concert possible. I’ll also be releasing new music before Valentines day so stay tuned for that!”

She adds "Since this is my journey it will start with how I got in the industry. This will include Regine Velasquez which is a no brainier, Nar Cabico, Mark Bautista whom all has been good to me. You will also see me as a solo artist, the LaDiva moments, but this will be very intimate and I will be talking to you because it is a small venue. My happiness is very shallow, being part of shows, iconic teleseryes, working with great singers, singing for Manny Pacquiao's fight, you will see them all. You will also see what I can do. I will be here with some important people and that's the surprise. I know I will be having this concert on the date of Ms.Sharon Cuneta but we have different things to offer as an artist. I picture this as a Barbra Streisand concert where it is intimate, it was also apt when we found the name of my concert, I figured this is why it was delayed a year, it was just perfect. Of course there will be a part where I will show LA Diva, that is 4 years of my life and I will include that in the show. Jona and I were not able to talk that much but we're good, Aicelle still keeps in touch and she always makes kamusta when she chats with me, I like that about them. I am ready, I hope this would further my career and hope things would materialize. We sat down and chose songs personally, I hope people would love this lineup. Hopefully I would be able to release songs before Valentine's day."

She mentions “I will be here, I am still here and I will still be singing.” She assures her fans of years worth of good music so get ready!

For ticket inquiries please call 09178508747 or Teatrino at 7412949 local 116. Tickets are priced Php 1,800 for VIP, Php 1,300 for orchestra and Php 800 for balcony. 

Congratulations MAR1CR1S! You deserve all the blessings you are getting now!

McJim Shorts Score Nominations Worldwide

McJim has always been my go to brand for belts, bags and leather accessories. In the recent years, they’ve been able to touch base with campaigns that have elevated Filipino products that are worthy to be called world class. Have you seen their shoot in Montreal Canada? If I didn’t know that happened I’d gladly mistake their ware from another country, so it really makes me proud to see how successful they have become in the leather business showcasing things that are manufactured, designed and created all in the Philippines - but for a global audience. 

Aside from that, they have also released heartwarming videos depicting the Filipino persona , how we live - and how ordinary people like you and me in so many ways use their products, not hardsell. I personally like that about them and with these videos, it’s like a slice of life. It in turn becomes honest, relatable, so even if it is showcased on the web initially, it still was able to get the nod of a total of 22 prestigious film festivals in countries like the US, the UK, Italy, France, Australia, Mexico, Venezuela and others. It’s a record breaking feat for any brand based in the Philippines. 

Director Chris Cahilig notes that his short films “Pitaka” (The Wallet), “Sinturon” (Belt) and “Bag” can now be considered are at par with the world’s best branded commercially produced films. He says “McJim has always been inclined to adhere with their simple philosophy of style, quality and elegance. McJim is always committed to showcase not just the world class leather goods but also same world class films.”

True enough the short film “Pitaka” has already participated in international film festivals like San Mauro Torinese International Film Festival 2018, Cefalu Film Festival in Palermo (in Italy), the Diwa Filipino Film Showcase of Seattle 2018, Culture of Life Film Festival 2018 in Memphis, 2019 Dramatic Shorts Film Festival in Denver, Colorado and Los Angeles CineFest 2019 all in the US. It talks about fraternal love, how one cares for a younger brother portrayed by Karl Medina and boyband 1:43’s Art Artienda. 

It was then followed by another short film called “Sinturon” (The Belt) which was showcased in Nebrody Film Fest and Corti A Sud-Polla In Corto (bothe in Italy). It was also invited to participate at the Love Shorts Film Festival 2019 in the US. This piece was done with veteran independent actors Kiko Matos and maven of indie films Ms. Mercedes Cabral. This talks about marital infidelity which is a no-no in a very conservative Philippine society.

Their latest one “Bag” on the other hand just got in to 12 official selections for the brand in different international film festivals. This is LGBT themed, inclusive, even as McJim may have identify as a male brand, they are inclusive and it reminds us about having a more progressive society rather than applied tolerance. Certainly groundbreaking.

If you would want to watch these short films, they are still up on their page Facebook.com/OfficialMcJim. 

Please continue to do the country proud!
