Looks like things will be interesting as this season 3 Coke Studio episode focuses on family feels. This Saturday, the one and only pop royalty Sarah Geronimo will be appearing live to perform with popular millennial favorite THIS BAND.
Sarah has often been praised for her love and devotion to her family and she says “I really love my family, the sacrifices they made and whatever happens, God gave me a gift that grounds me and keeps me humble. Being invited in Coke Studio Season 3 is like being invited to a family. I have always wished I could be a part of that.”
This Band is composed of Andrea Manzano (vocals), Euwie Von Loria(guitar), Miccael Galvan (bass), John Kenneth Macaranas(drums), Melvin Carson (keyboard) and Reymart Gubat(lead guitar). They said “We couldn’t believe that this early in our career, we could be working with Sarah Geronimo. It’s as if our career will be fast-tracked, things are going beyond what we really imagined.”
Make sure you don’t miss this episode on how Sarah Geronimo and This Band will collaborate for Coke Studio Season 3. It will be this October 26, at 10:00 a.m. on ABS-CBN or online at the Coke Studio PH YouTube channel.
Rocco Nacino, Patricia Tumulak and Bea Binene just signed with Kapuso Foundation as their advocates. There will be several projects for education, health, that they will be committed to after doing this. To involve the youth, they want the idols to also be there to get involved.
Ms. Mel Tiangco says “I just came from my checkup, and it was just lack of water. I’ve been sick for a few days and hopefully I’ll be 100% now. This is a big day for Kapuso Foundation because for the longest time I have been praying for everyone in the network to be of service to the Filipino people. Here we have real people who help, who go and serve, we didn’t need to be just doing this in our birthdays, all our artists, our executives so they can be of service for others. Our colleagues are also here to join us, thank you for coming.”
Ms. Gigi says “The artists of GMA are very supportive about the projects of the network, for telethons, and we really appreciate that. We are so proud to have been able to easily ask them for that and we appreciate their presence, of who are also here today to pay it forward so they too would be examples to the other artists as well.”
Simoun Ferrer says “To be able to use their voice and encourage others to help as well, GMA Artist Center has committed to promote the different causes. We are thankful for them being here.”
Patricia says “I am super happy to have share my passion for education. It’s connected to what I have been doing in the past and I think this is the reason we got together. In line of our projects, we did runs in the past and helped put up bridges so they can go to school and also trade in the countryside. I used to teach kids with special needs, and this is perfect for me.”
Bea says “I am thankful to GMA Kapuso Foundation, to be part of this because I have been with them since I was 6 years old. In my time I will be doing work involved in environmental work and disaster preparedness. I am proud to say the foundation has been able to help people in far flung areas, I hope to be able to go to help, influence people, make the youth aware also. This is very important.”
Rocco Nacino added “I feel so new, but I really feel humbled and honored to be part of this. Our small contributions before has now bloomed into being part of Kapuso Foundation, to now go to different parts of the Philippines and bring my co artists to educate people, as a medical professional, we can impart laymans term explanation, to teach them what I know and use it for our projects, I will be finishing my course as a Navy Reservist to hopefully give hope to people, to children with cancer, for having me onboard, I am thankful for the opportunity. One of GMA Kapuso Foundation’s project is for free chemotherapy sessions, I have expressed to go to the quarterly medical missions. Hopefully to start helping people, the way I can.”

8 directors from Asia, 8 different stories, shot in 8 countries India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and told in HBO through a show called FOOD LORE. Ours is done by Erik Matti who also directed Buybust and Honor Thy Father. This was the brainchild of Singapore based filmmaker Eric Khoo.
Bless the people who did this, as this might be the first time any show of this magnitude is being made and shown on HBO GO and HBO Asia. It is an HBO Originals series. We saw a preview of our episode Island of Dreams. It talks about home, our families, how we celebrate and how it is part of our lives and culture. The first two episodes is by Vietnam, Second is ours, it will be also shown on Tokyo International Film Festival.
Karen Lai the President for Communications of HBO Asia says "We based it around food, but a drama series in food conditions talking about love, tragedy and everything in between. We also have a lot of other shows on HBO GO, more material and more seasons of previous shows and blockbusters on our platform. Hope you enjoy this! The show creator and anthology series last year Folk Lore and we left it to him to choose the directors."
Here's our panel interview with them:
The setting is at Sipalay in Negros. Out of 7,641 islands in the country, why is this special? That's for you to find out. It will be shown starting November 3 9pm (but premiere in Tokyo for the festival October 30). There is really so much to look forward to in FOOD LORE. You should also be proud to see the Philippines included here. People need to discover our cuisine, and our stories.
When things are much bigger, better, we all enjoy it! Not that I’m doing puns, but it’s just about the same feeling with Pizza. It’s why Greenwich has been loved by pinoys over the years, to go all in on toppings, their All In Overload Pizza spells fun in any barkada or office gatherings. Which is why they’ve always been regulars during lunch, dinner and just about every occasion.
Potato thingies lol
This new chocolate smoothie was good, not too sweet, maybe they used cocoa or dark chocolate
True colors
All In Overload Pizza!
Greenwich got us party with several rap artists this evening, play several games and taste the All in Overload Pizza everyone loves. It’s filling, a slice would be enough for you but I had a few. After fun activities, they also showed us dance numbers and a preview of the new Greenwich commercial starring Yassi Pressman, Robi Domingo and Enrique Gil called SAGOT KO NA (which means a person is treating everyone for a meal in Filo). It felt so fun seeing it being played on the web, on TV (very soon) and leading media outlets too. Best of all, it also tells how they enjoyed all the fun and games we had while eating tons of pizza (All in Overload Pizza of course!) which I saw them eating in Market Market a few events ago. (Not just for show, they really enjoy this stuff!).
Rap battle between Negatibo and Rhyma J happened, though I don't get it I could see they're talented talkers :)
Manila Soul, so sick! They'll be representing the country in this year's SEA GAMES. They will win gold!
Anyway, you’ve got to enjoy these pizzas because it’s got everything you love in a Pinoy pizza! Even better!
