Roxanne Barcelo for IWant’s FLUID

A man can fall in love with a woman, a man can fall in love with a man too, it can be anyone, romantically and or not, that’s fluid.

Roxanne Barcelo plays Mitch, who meets George (played by Ann Colis) who both got hurt in past relationships and ended up liking each other, no matter how weird that sounds to some people. 

Roxanne says “I really appreciate that Direk has that much trust in me in creating a production like this. I was hesitant about this but now I understand how I had the best experience of my acting life in this series. The lines that Al Tantay told me just broke me down, he said If you’re sad I’m sad, I just miss my Dad and those lines just touched me. I wouldn’t say how it felt, you have to watch it to see how people go through relationships. I couldn’t compare the kiss with her, she’s so beautiful, she’s a stunner, mulatta, she’s very captivating and if you were my character, you wouldn’t be surprised how she fell in love with her. Showtime was an experience, it was therapeutic and that’s where I experienced how there is music in all of us. How to look in our experiences, don’t die without letting your music out of you. There was a time I got to perform back there, I would be glad to be a host there if given a chance. I wouldn’t want to just stay sweet in roles, I want very creative ones and this was a nice place to do it.”

Here’s how the presscon with her, the Director and Joross Gamboa:

Fluid is made for iWant (so download the app now), this is produced by Lonewolf Films and written by Carlo Ventura, Benedict and Benjie Mique. Cast includes Janice De Belen, Al Tantay, Zar Donato, J-Mee Kantanyag and Emmanuelke Vera. Episodes 1-4 will be up on March 16. This film is about acceptance, family relationships, how love disrupts everything so make sure parents and young ones watch it!

Time to Invest in BRIA Homes Central and Northern Luzon

Central and North Luzon is booming and these regions are getting to be business hubs, tourism and leisure destinations. A world-class Clark International Airport sits right in the middle of this and yes, the Subic-Clark cargo railway too. With the advent of big things coming to the region, livable communities should be a priority and this is what BRIA Homes is bringing. 

Albeit the NLEX-SLEX connector road is finished and demand for industrial, commercial and residential space is growing and if the ones out there are not affordable and of good quality, it wouldn’t be reasonable. BRIA Homes is changing this since they’ve set up these projects all around town so people who choose to live in these homes would further flourish and grow. Jobs availability are at an all time high and wether you are here or an OFW, Central Luzon is just perfect for you.

BRIA Homes has got communities in Alaminos, Pangasinan; Urdaneta, Pangasinan, Paniqui, Tarlac; Magalang, Pampanga; San Fernando, Pampanga; Mariveles, Bataan; and Hermosa, Bataan. They are actually doing more in nearby towns and cities, so expect more in the coming years. These are really good investments too. 

They believe in Affordability (Mura) + Quality (Dekalidad), and each BRIA Home was built around this mission. Now everyone has got the chance to own homes, near their workplace, some retail establishments, schools, churches and hospitals so it would be easy to live because everything is near.

You can also pay via their flexible payment schemes, from bank-financing and Pag-IBIG funding. You can go to and from nearby cities and provinces easily because of existing and constructed highways, which is important to keep connections. 

That is priceless. If you want to know more about BRIA Homes call (0966) 277 5944, like “Bria Official” on Facebook, and follow “@TheBriaOfficial” on Twitter and IG.

#CebSuperSeatFest with MIMIYUUUH

Just got off the fun event of Cebu Pacific as they unveiled their Super Seat Fest Be a Baryahero campaign among media guests and Manila’s cutest influencers lols. I admit, I’m one of a LOT of people who have been waiting for seat sales in the wee hours of the morning and yes I have personally got a flight to a province which I haven’t been to last night hence my 4am sleep time. Cebu Pacific and several government agencies have been working hard, partnering towards making local tourism a big thing now that international travel is slightly down due to the Covid situation. There are a LOT of places in the country where I’m sure you haven’t been to yet, and that definitely requires a lot of effort to do, make it a part of your bucketlist and enjoy with your friends and family.

Oh and yes, they also got a new Cebu Pacific Brand Ambassador in the persona of the one and only fun ghorl MIMIYUUUH. The famous YouTuber asks you to drink your water bish, and skirrrrrt to your favorite destinations at a fraction of the cost. With your Barya (chump change) you can be a Baryahero. Cebu Pacific has been offering these one peso fares years ago, they have seen they have been copied and they promise to even bring you better deals in their 3 day sale starting today. This is their #CebSuperSeatFest which happens March 3, 4 and 5 rawr!

March 3 is for Domestic

March 4 for International 

March 5  is for whatever is left on sale on both dates. 

Travel period starts from September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021. I’m bound for Roxas City and Cauayan Isabela, places I’ve never been before. You should do the same, I’m sure you’ll create more memories. It’s affordable because it is Cebu Pacific. 

Every Juan deserves to fly!

The Skin Magical Caravan: Helping Communities

I saw Ghie Pangilinan on the cover of Experience Travel Living mag a couple weeks ago (which I also happen to have an article about Antipolo), the woman who owns Skin Magical, a very successful beauty brand in the Philippines. The young CEO has already made a success out of her brainchild in 4 years and wanted to actually share her success with other people.

As Filipinos still look for the easiest and most affordable way to stay and look nice, it is evident that this market segment is growing because everybody wants to take care of themselves. Recently, the beauty magnate started 2020 with the Skin Magical Learn and Earn Caravan + Skin Magical Cares (as part of her CSR efforts). A total of 150 individuals from her own community in Morong, Rizal where she taught how they too could start their businesses and a little brief on how to do online selling. This includes regular joes, mothers, just about anyone who wanted to make a living. 

Ms. Ghie Pangilinan says “My goal is to share my business to a lot of people. I give them advice on how to succeed in this field and how to treat clients like friends. I also shared my story and how this wife of an OFW made it in the beauty industry. It takes a lot of patience, hard work and honesty.”

The caravan also went on in other places like Bulacan, Quezon City, Pampanga, Caloocan, Laguna and also featured a live selling “Gandang Palaban Reseller” game where participants won reseller packages. This February, they will conduct more in Nueva Ecija, Zambales, Tarlac and Bataan. They have also conducted relief operations during the Batangas crisis where a lot of people were displaced by the Taal Volcano eruption. They helped 400 families and continue to do so in the weeks after. 

Aside from these activities, Ghie Pangilinan is going to have her Skin Magical book and brochure published via ABS-CBN Publishing within the year. She will be sharing her success story to more people in hopes to inspire them to work hard and achieve what she has had in the last few years. That’s just awesome to see her help and lead by example, I’m gonna try the products this month and hope it does wonders!
