RATED KORINA Teases Season 2

We miss her dearly, and her stories, but she's not about to let out soon as Ms. Korina Sanchez-Roxas takes you on another season of RATED KORINA. She took a month long break but recently, she teased us with a fun, fresher theme for their second season on Facebook.

Obviously, you could see how excited she is and remarks how she misses us, and wants to tell more stories. Thing is, you will be able to watch the show on SATURDAY and SUNDAYS starting June 19, 2021 and the weekends thereafter. RATED KORINA will be shown on primetime via A2Z (Saturday 6-7PM), on TV5 (Sundays at 10-11PM), at the Kapamilya Channel (Saturday 10-11PM) and on OnePH on Sundays 7-8PM. It will also be seen internationally via ABS-CBN's international channels through TFC and on digital via iWantTFC.

The show will be featuring more of the country's hottest trending issues, discussing most of it with the Filipino viewer in mind in story formats that touches the hearts of many. Donning a fitter figure, she continues to travel across the country with the whole RATED KORINA team to search for touching and inspirational stories that you would enjoy in a full hour.

 

 

Ms. Korina says "I guess the short respite was a good time to reassess things and look at it with fresh eyes. We streamlined our production process and made it to get in touch with the pulse of the people and find stories that are fresh, relevant in these times. We can't stay in cookie cutter ideas, I've got a team that's more adventurous, and attuned to trends."

Episodes this week include an in depth look on pageantry and how we've become a force to reckon with in the international arena. They'll also take a few shots on several local pageants and talk with recent queens who made a mark for the country.

 

 

It's also Jose Rizal's 160th birthday, so a tell all of his life, a showcase of artifacts and mementos will also be featured. Stories will be sourced from scholars, and museums from different places in the Philippines. Aside from that, they'll be featuring cities that have begun opening up their doors to tourism and let us see world class spots that people should look forward to visiting once things go normal this side of the world. Of course, you'll be front and center to Handog Tsinelas efforts and food relief campaigns that RATED KORINA will continue, definitely.

This show RATED KORINA is produced by Brightlight Productions under the Benitez group.

KYLE ECHARRI Releases Own Music, Stages Concert This Sunday on KUMU

He's definitely not a kid anymore and after several successful shows, Kyle Echarri is now making his own music and releasing an album called NEW VIEWS. You can now stream it on digital stores but before that, he's going to have a full blown concert this Sunday (his birthday) which you should watch. It's only on KUMU, so download the app and see him there. 

During the press conference this afternoon, Kyle says "I really produced it and made sure nobody touches it because I want people to know the real Kyle. My first album, I enjoyed it but it wasn't Kyle. I wanted to do it, not to follow a sound, but create Filipino music. I have plans to do music videos, but one so far, so I wish you would wait for that. I want to fit one more in soon, it's a dream come true."

He adds "This is also about my past relationships, I'm finally able to share who I am. In my concert, I'm excited to get my fans see something good, I'm happy to see them happy. It's not just the music, but the concert is a part of me. It's also on my 18th birthday, I want to be able to show you a new Kyle. I'll be with my closest friends in this concert, I want the whole Gold Squad to be there because they are part of my life. I will try to get Francine to sing, but I know she's not much into that. Hopefully they will all be there despite protocols, even if Zoom I'll appreciate that. I want to also travel alone, things that I couldn't do before. I love traveling with my family, friends, hopefully I could have time to do that soon."

If you haven't had the chance to listen to his music, I've done that during the event this afternoon. Man, I'm telling you, it's like we've got our own rnb artist, that's young, fresh and should be released in an international stage. He's pretty good at what he's doing and he deserves something big.

 Here's part of our interview with him earlier

Again, do listen to him on KUMU this Sunday and I think he's going to also have his closest friends too. Unbelievable talent, he deserves more! Happy birthday Kyle!

Proptech Platform Ohmyhome Gives Tips on Finding A Good Home

Looking for a perfect home is a daunting task. If you were to ask me ages ago, I wouldn't be able to tell you how. Property platform Ohmyhome has been in the business for so long and here, they share some sensible tips on what to actually look for if you're trying to find a good home for you and your family. I bet, you'll say this is absolutely reasonable... and it is, a good thing.

1. Choose the Right Location

You need to look for the perfect place to call home. You have to make sure it is accessible (have ample amount of public transport), you can walk to and from the market, and not prone to floods (which a lot of people find out months later). Aside from that, ask about its proximity to fault lines because it might not be good to put up structures. You should also look out for future projects around the area that can generate jobs, schools where your kids/future kids would be able to go to, and even churches, hospitals, supermarkets so life can be easier. 

2. Know the Property Type

There are End Users, and there are Investors. If you plan to live in it, know what fits your lifestyle. End Users also tend to think more about whether you would be better in the city or the more quiet suburbs. What amenities are available? Do you want green spaces? How near is it in things you need? Some investors on the other hand think more about what would be beneficial for you in the long run, like if you want to rent out the property for a long time and have a revenue stream from it. You can find both in the Ohmyhome platform which can minimize effort, as it does the searching for you with their partner developers and real estate firms.

 3. Understand Your Financial Choices

Thinking of how to purchase a home takes time. In a real estate market, if you wait too long, property prices increase as development in the area happens. Real Estate prices appreciate over time and the wait won't help, acting on the right moment is crucial. Ohmyhome has Property Consultants that can help you decide and choose your financial options so you could buy and pay for the property over a number of years. They can help you understand (make sense) and know how you can purchase it in your capacity and choose the best one for you.

4. The Full Costs of a Home

The costs of purchasing a home isn't just the list price, there are tons of other things you need to consider aside from that. The other expenses include the Documentary Stamp Tax (1.5% of actual sale price), Transfer Tax (the cost of changing ownership is dependent on zones, market value, else 0.5%-0.75% of property value), Title Registration Fee (0.25% of price), attorney's fees if applicable. Ohmyhome Property Consultants know this by heart and with their experience in real estate processes, it'll be easier to understand what needs to be paid for on day 1.

 5. Work with the Right Agent

Ohmyhome has got Relationship Managers that evaluate what you need before being attended to by Property Consultants so you get the right person to work with. They take into consideration what you as a homeowner need and what your aspirations are. They research and canvass things for you so you have options, make a choice, document everything before closing a deal. If you wish to consult one today, you may start here.

It can be easy, you just have to talk to reliable people which Ohmyhome offers. They have an app available on the Google Play Store and also their website https://ohmyhome.com if you're looking for that perfect home.
