A Trinity of Events

Three events in two days so I had to make this quick. First off is the book signing of vixen Arci Munoz, yes she has a book and she cooks! Would you believe? Aside from that, her book has a lot of connections with dealing with exes, of how to move on, and tons of advise about how not to pursue unhealthy relationships, in her healthy point of view.

Her recipes are actually simple, it can easily be followed by those who can't cook especially the easy fried numbers and combo desserts.

We also covered the announcement of the Top 20 short films who qualified for Lights Camera Magic and if you're interested, check out the entries on their main website, also their social media pages. We met Piolo Pascual, Nash Aguas, Ketchup Eusebio and others who served as jurors for the contest. They will announce the top 3 very soon so please wait for the details when that happens.

Here's a video of our coverage, please enjoy!

So, how was your day? :)

MEGA Sardines Does Touching #MegaGandaAngBuhay Shorts

Award winning Director and PR Maven Chris Cahilig just came out with a new short film called “Tipidity” for household brand Mega Sardines as they introduce #MegaGandaAngBuhay. They are probably going to do a few but I like this slice of life pov, it reminds us how we all take effort to have a hearty meal even in a very quaint simple setting. I bet most of you probably have a can of sardines in your pantry, it’s also probably one of the basics you often get at the grocery counter. Even at that price point, it gives you comfort, a trait that spanned generations and I also bet, you still do it now.

“Tipidity” talks about a husband and wife, newlyweds who go through hardships of life, their economic status, showcases the resilience of the Filipino family. Headlined by indie actors Karl Medina and Kia Del Rosario who in this film, albeit industrious in their careers - suddenly are met with financial griefs. It tried and tested their marriage in so many ways, but in the end, will they still be together? Will they weather through these problems? Or suffer the fate of tons of relationships, who fail unfortunately?

They knew they had to tighten their belt, they knew they had to make sacrifices, which a lot of people would be able to relate, more so now with the high inflation rates.

We don’t want to be political, so make sure you see this Tipidity installment on Mega Sardines Facebook page and assets, you’ll also love the next ones, so stay tuned!

There will be more stories soon!

XFactor UK’s Maria Larocco in Manila

Saw Maria Larocco this evening. Saw her sing live too! 

Paulo Raymundo the country manager for Blu Ant Entertainment says “I would like to thank MGML Global Talents Corporation for making this possible. Our channel is committed to bringing the best in entertainment and even the same day of its US airing. From ET, to more series, some of the biggest award shows, the Philippines has been noted as the best source of singers, Maria is one of them who have been able to penetrate the show halfway around the world.” 

Maria says “It has always been my dream to be a superstar and performing in front of the judges was just surreal. It was a life changing moment and I couldn’t believe I made the 4 judges do a standing ovation. I wouldn’t be able to do this without my family and my friends. I promise to have more in store for you this 2019 so please watch out for it.”

“My first TV appearance was the Voice Kids 2014 when I did the blind auditions, my coach was Lea Salonga that time. I auditioned online on their website and two years ago I also tried, on the third one I got lucky. Now that I got there, it was just a surreal day for me. I am thankful to have been able to go through rounds in London, even if it was unfortunate to not have been able to go to the US and sing live in Simon’s house in front of other celebrities, they saw me and got through again, he kept me. That I am still thankful for.”

The XFACTOR shows Sundays and Mondays at 7:55PM on Blue Ant Entertainment.
