BeautyWise Philippines and Moppa Cosmetics Anniversary

It was an evening of elegance and beauty as JNJ Beauty Essentials celebrated the second year of BeautyWise Philippines and the first year Moppa Cosmetics here at the Okada in Parañaque City. Beauty Wise is the manufacturer of several products such as rejuvenating sets, body scrubs, soaps and lotions in the Philippines and Moppa Cosmetics on the other hand deals with lip tints, sticks and melting foundation. They also encourage resellers so ordinary joes and belles who want to have their own business can start even with a small capital. They give opportunities to Filipinos and this event was just their way to thank those who have helped them succeed all these years.

Josephine Cabungco says "Good evening! I am so elated to see you all. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to a double anniversary celebration for BeautyWise and Moppa Cosmetics. We worked hard to establish our brand and what you will see tonight is the evolution of Beauty Wise. We set goals for ourselves and our celebration is for the success we met. We have more marketing programs this year as we grow, and we will continue to have more business partners this coming 2020. Thank you all for your presence."

Celebrities like Daniel Matsunaga, Morisette Amon and a lot more also performed that evening. It was just apt to payback all the loyal men and women who have been a part of JNJ's success all throughout the years, congratulations and we only wish for more things to come now that you're on your way up!

KUYA J's Dons New Look and Food at Eastwood Branch

I was this happy when I found out that Kuya J's was opening a new store in Eastwood City. It stands on the old area where Something Fishy used to be almost fronting Pho Hoa in front of the road. They are donning a new look and their food is being slightly presented differently, a lovely way to start this evening!

The interiors are fresh, clean looking and they plan to actually implement these in stores nationwide. These are exciting times!

Oh and if that's not enough, the food is just amazing!

I particularly love the Lechong Baka and Caldereta, the Crispy Pata comes a close second.

Now I just had to let you look at him for obvious reasons. Enjoy!

How about that? :) Sarap no?

Jasmine Curtis, Myke Liwag and Nico Locco for CULION

Spent the morning at Black Maria Pictures for the private screening of Culion. The movie is set to impress audiences this coming December 25 as part of the Metro Manila Film Festival. Before we watched the film, we got to talk to Jasmine Curtis, Mike Liwag and Nico Locco who are also part of the film. These three had their own character conflicts, one that will shock you on cinemas because yes, it is worthy to find out this MMFF season (let's not spoil it for the others). For starters, they're like an unlikely love triangle which I think is going to stir things in the lives of the three women, and their community.

Jasmine says "I am already happpy just to be in the ranks of actors who have done so much great work in the industry. I already felt good making it with top caliber actresses. I am more in indie, not loud on TV, low key, simple and happy that I am working with those who I were all just watching on screen. I wanted to work with Iza and Meryll and it already happened. We got along real good, it was just a dream to do this and I was inspired to share the same work ethics and enjoy it. We had the same mindset at work, and it's good."

Nico Locco, who recently won Best Actor at the Gawad Sining Film Festival adds "The difference between this and my Sabado film is the character, a little similar, but unique as I didn't know anything about it at first. My role in Sabado is interesting but Culion has historical drama, I had to do a different preparation for it."

Mike Liwag says "Physically, mentally it is a challenge, I haven't tackled anything of this magnitude and I am excited to watch it come gala night together with my parents. I hope they would be proud of me."

Here is our short interview with them before the screening.

Direk Alvin Yapan will be entering this to other film festivals but will probably enter a different version than this commercial release. It will run around 2 hours, I'll have a separate article for the review and a short feature on Mike Liwag. Stay tuned! Make sure you make this a part of your MMFF list this Christmas day!
