Alex Gonzaga on the Importance of IPON

 

Alex Gonzaga has been in the showbiz industry for years now. 

She's been working hard, but it wasn't all rainbows and butterflies before she got there. She did in a way, for a moment, lived under her sister Toni's shadows. She found her niche, her identity to become the more funny and flamboyant one which people found amusing. She also started posting vlogs on YouTube and got shows left and right. Her humor also hit the right people and a lot of them adore her. Her amazing Mom taught them the value of saving up for the rainy days and after years of working in the industry, Alex and her sister also went into business putting up milk tea shops and a lot of other things on the side. 

Today, she recently just got married. Aside from new shows, she's been very busy. She's also gotten the hang of spending her money wisely. She now knows that her purchase decisions not only impact her, but her husband as they're together now. Endorsing Villarica Pawnshop was a very easy decision for her. She knows people have gone through hardships and pawn gold, precious stones and metals to get emergency funds. Aside from that, Villarica also connects rural areas to banking institutions so people can save and have high appraisals for what they plan to pawn. IPON for her is important as it asserts financial security. With the things she has learned from her Mom, she's arming herself with a really good foundation for what she plans to apply for her own family with Mikey. Villarica also has money changing facilities, does withdrawal from apps, sell load, money remittance services of which Alex also wants to take advantage of. If she can't do transactions at home, there's always a Villarica Pawnshop nearby. She's endorsing it for the right reasons.

Owe My Love with Lovi and Ben Starts Today

We miss them, we all do. I got to interview Lovi Poe and Ben Alves a couple days ago about their new show Owe My Love. 

The show tells the lives of Pacencia “Sensen” Guipit (Lovi) and Dr. Miguel “Migs” Alcancia (Benjamin) as they become financially intertwined because Sen had to pay her Father's debt while Migs had to make a fake marriage arrangement to make his Father a little less sick (played by Martinez).

 

 

 

The plot is awesome, but this also is kinda the return of these two stars in primetime though under a different production as this was done under GMA Public Affairs. They've done several shows even during the pandemic, and quality wise, they're actually pretty good. This one is directed by Rember Gelera and Ray Gibraltar. This is written by Volta Delos Santos and concept is by Joseph Conrad Rubio. They are the same team who did Naku, Boss Ko!, Inday Will Always Love You, TODA One I Love and One of the Baes. So in a way, a lot is expected from these guys with this project.

 

This show also stars a stellar cast of comedic and drama actors which includes Comedy Concert Queen Aiai Delas Alas, WinWyn Marquez, Jackie Lou Blanco, Ms. Nova Villa, Ruby Rodriguez, Pekto, Buboy Villar, Kiray Celis, Ryan Eigenmann, Jelai Andres, Jon Gutierrez, Jason Francisco, Divine Tetay, Terry Gian and Mahal. Show starts at 9:35PM today. Information about the show is also available on GMA Pinoy TV. 

 

This absolutely looks so much fun!

HYUN BIN and SON YE JIN Star in Smart Ad

 

Valentines Day became even more special for fans of K Drama Kings and Queens Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. The two stars of Crash Landing On You topbills Smart Communications advertisement for their promotion of Smart's 5G connection where you can indeed get more with the fastest connection. 

 This was something that Smart executives hinted when they came out with the Hyun Bin ad a couple months back as they really didn't want him to be lonely. Today was a nice day to fulfill that.

As of this writing, the video has garnered half a million views in almost 24 hours, pretty strong showing. The power of 5G marks Smart's latest offering of the fastest upload and download speeds on mobile and as they roll out the technology to different parts of the country. Pretty soon, more 5G phones will come out and the connection will be ready for it.

Scenes from their show also were shown on the ad, and that might tie in on data packages they will offer with Netflix wherein that show is shown in the Philippines. The music on this particular ad was created for Smart by top Philippine band Ben&Ben. Go check out the YouTube video here and experience 5G with Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin.

 

 I like the part where they said "Simple Smart Ako!". So, did you guys love them even more?
