More Than Just Good Looks, David Licauco

Kapuso Chinito Heartthrob and one of the most eligible bachelors in show business, this good looking guy David Licauco is still at his game. With several shows on TV, movies, good following on social media, commercials and editorial spreads, he is at the prime of his career and is still raring for more. Unbeknownst to his fans and adoring followers, he wears a few hats. He's running businesses left and right, oh and this boyfriend material is pretty good at it. Currently, this hunk owns a Turks franchise, a Lucky Bunny milktea outlet in Valenzuela, Alpha Fitness Club along Taft Avenue, Manila and Sobra Comfort Filipino Food, which is a food-delivery service.

Just recently, he also launched As Nature Intended (which can be found at asnatureintended.ph). It's an online one-stop shop for everything you need to sustain a more holistic lifestyle. They carry various brands of guilt-free food, skincare products, nutraceuticals/ sports supplements, workout/athletic gear and even wine for those who would want to celebrate life! 

David says "It stemmed from my passion for health and fitness. I always work out. Helping people achieve a healthier lifestyle was always in my mind. I started my family and friends and just figured I needed to set up a shop that covers all aspects of wellness, then make it also convenient. We are currently offering same day deliveries in Metro Manila and hopefully have provincial shipping available soon. 

His advocacy of making natural and organic goods available to a greater populace is but a very noble cause. It won't be too long until a healhier, more active lifestyle would be a choice that Filipinos could easily adapt with, and he's looking for brand partners that would want to also emulate his principles. No wonder he looks like a demigod!

Again for those who would like to check out what David Licauco is being busy with these past few months, take a look at asnatureintended.ph and maybe you too would look better and feel great like this lil chico!

 

Snatched an ACE Smart TV in Shopee!

It pays to put your purchases on Shopee in your cart especially when there's a big sale coming up. I was looking for a second monitor and felt it would be best to get a ACE Smart TV instead so I could use it for other things aside from just work related stuff. Imagine from 7,599 pesos I got it purchased for 5,431 pesos sans Shopee coins and vouchers so I even took out a chunk of change for it. That's an unbelievable price for a 32 inch TV, and yes it exists. I couldn't believe they sell it at that price til it arrived at my home.

I unboxed it, put the brackets for it and setup the box in a few minutes. The only thing I wished I did was buy a bracket so I could stick it to a wall and watch from there. I was also thinking of putting it in the shower so I could watch those lovely MTV shows and bring the party to me LOL.

With a 720p display, 50 watt power consumption, 4 Gig ROM, 512 MB RAM, USB 2.0 ports, and can read media such as MP4, JPEG you'll love this even more! It's a SMART TV that has a VGA port, HDMI, AV and Audio Output on the back,  measures 74 x 44 x 48.3 cm plus an unbelievable 28% discount, there is just no reason not to get one.

If you want to get it, their official store is here:

Now I have my room equipped with an ACE Smart TV that I can use as a second monitor, to also mirror my phone, and television when I need to watch TV. This convenience is something that I got from Shopee which you can download here. It works on Android and iOS, and I also pay via digital wallet which I convert to Shopee Pay so I can have more savings via vouchers. I forgot when I even paid in full cash in this app because I always get discounts. Not even joking!

SON YE JIN Endorses Smart

Smart in a private press conference recently unveiled their biggest surprise yet, it SeRiously was hidden from everyone but because Smart Signature is also releasing new plans to fit your lifestyle, they got Son Ye Jin of popular Crash Landing On You Korean drama to be their official endorser. Their Simple Smart Ako campaign already was a hit with Hyun Bin, this is another great announcement, what will happen with new Smart Signature offers? They promise to #MakeTheirMark. 

Son Ye Jin is a goal player, cheerful and laid back in real life. Simple in the outside, powerful in the inside, Smart says their partnership is made in heaven. The new TVC and digital ad will be coming out soon, and yes, she has a few Filipino lines which fans would find so adorable!

Daring to go beyond the regular, they explained the new plans will simplify things, but will release details of it in the coming days. Priority, full worry free experience, an elevated lifestyle. They just rolled out 5G services a few days ago, you can find their data connection in blazing speeds now, they will also begin to roll out more 5G facilities in more areas nationwide! 

Netflix, HBO Go, IWant, NBA and more will still be partnering with them. We listened to them via zoom and they told us their experience working with Son Ye Jin.

Jane Basas of Smar lt says “Two months ago when we started the campaign with Hyun Bin, we heard one question and said we didn’t want Hyun Bin to be lonely, we had to make the fans happy. It was in June when we got in touch with them, signed up on the second week, finalized things during the third and final weeks after that. She wanted to see if she could do all in English, we did it digitally via zoom to make sure it fits the story line. She was very warm, welcoming of us and took time to have a call with us and said she wanted to do it here. She wants to visit her fans here and she was very happy, wants to also visit Manila soon. She loved the campaign, she was a bad ass chick and two days after the shoot, we couldn’t keep it a secret because some fans picked it up. She was grateful and thankful, she knew Smart because of Hyun Bin and she’s very picky in endorsement deals, she would have loved to meet her fans. She was here 10 years ago in Palawan and can’t wait to come back. Her contract is a year, including a visit to the Philippines with three events. Hopefully things get better so this all could happen soon!”

Son Ye Jin says “I wanted to go to the Philippines and shoot and a lot of my fans sent me messages of support in social media. I am so happy to hear that, but won’t be able to because of travel restrictions. I am a character in front of the camera, a real person when I’m not. For those who are just starting, don’t be afraid of hardships, it makes you become near your goal! Fighting! I am so happy to be the newest endorser for Smart. Simple, Smart Ako!”

The network will also come up with offers with 5G phones as they adapt to a newer and faster connection. Meanwhile, enjoy the new commercials coming out today on Smart’s channels and on broadcast tv. 

It’s good, I’ve seen it! 

Ticket2Me Launches New Ticketing and Video Platform

My first encounter with Ticket2Me was about a little over 2 years ago when I watched a musical in PETA here in Quezon City. Back then, they were still in their infancy but I could tell they've handled online ticket sales quite nicely. It was fast, easy to use, and secure. I got my taste of shows and could get tickets mighty fast as soon as they're listed on the app and platforms.

As you might have guessed, they're bound to be heavily affected by the closures of entertainment areas and theatres as this pandemic didn't spare any business. True enough, they had to transform their business model, innovate to survive. It was in March 2020 wherein they started the lockdown period, and it earmarked efforts by Ticket2Me and their Founder/CEO Darwin Mariano to cooperate with the Kaya Natin! Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership and find ways to aid the country’s health sector frontliners. They started a huge fundraising campaign and worked with the Office of Vice President Leni Robredo in the hopes of raising funds to supply personal protective equipment and food and care packages for these health workers. In just a span of a few days they got to raise millions surpassing their goal by a mile and got to help thousands of people and mobilize help where it's needed, a noble gesture indeed.

Ticket2Me then also started the Open House campaign which they did together with Artist Welfare Project, Philstage, SPIT MNL, Third World Improv and the Theater Actor’s Guild to benefit of the performing arts community which also got heavily affected by the COVID19 outbreak. It was one of 20 they did with different organizations including one for displaced film and performing arts professionals plus funds to build emergency quarantine facilities in Metro Manila, a tough hot spot for the dreaded virus.

Recently, they also catered to the demand of online events. Adapting to the new normal meant they also need to launch their own pay gated video platform so they can hold concerts, theatrical productions, workshops and more. They also launched Dok2Me, a patient-doctor platform so they too would be able to do online consultation. They will also start production of their own online series called Boys' Lockdown come this September. 

With over 11,000 combined cash and online payment options throughout the country, Ticket2Me is achieving its goal to be one of the largest ticketing and events tech company. They can help you manage your transitions to online processes. Download it off the App Store or Google Play now or visit their site Ticket2Me.net to try it out and find more information about them.

Sounds good.
