KD ESTRADA and ALEXA ILACAD #KDLex What's The Real Score?

This morning went so well as we were treated to kilig and fun with the global mediacon of Alexa Ilacad and KD Estrada's official loveteam KDLEX and their sold out show CLOSER, (a couple of Gen Ad tickets left!) which is their fan conference this coming February 26th.

The success of their pairing was certainly magnified during their PBB stint as they were part of the celebrity edition this year. Needless to say, when they came out and saw the support they got from viewers, they were certainly overwhelmed by it. Seeing body language and unending holding hands during the press conference this morning had me ask myself, what's the real score? Are they reel or real? Well, we couldn't pass on the opportunity to know and the media guests were all ears, so here's a snippet of the global media conference earlier:

If you want to be part of the phenomenon that is KDLex, you can still purchase tickets over at KTX.PH and just look for the event happening on the 26th of February. Enjoy fun times, music and see why people adore KDLex today!

UNIQLO 2022 Spring Summer Collection

Took a few hours in the morning for some good UNIQLO time as they showcased their Spring Summer Collection for 2022. With all the pandemic things happening, I could have sworn this wouldn't have happened.

What's good is that in this launch, they delve into what matters most as far as wearing clothes is concerned, they call it "The Joys of Clothing" putting emphasis on the simple pleasures of wearing it. That sounds amazing in my books so I went in with an open mind about the colorful season they showed last Friday.

In it, they discussed Skyline (for a more cosmo urban look), Landscape (off the grid looks), Imagination (vibrant colors), Sun and Seaside (drape, natural textures, linens, comfy wear). They also interviewed a couple of people, I liked some of the things they wore.

Aside from that, I love the UT shirts with classic Mickey Mouse done by artist and fashion mogul Joshua Vides. For the women, make sure you go and seek Hana Tajima and Ines de la Fressange line, the color and style would definitely be femme centric. For those who prefer an outdoorsy work, the JW Anderson line does not disappoint especially those that have rope work and unconventional seaside inspirations this year. All of these are available in store and on the Uniqlo app, go ahead and get them today. You can also see it on the latest edition of Uniqlo Lifewear Magazine which you can pickup in store if you're around a branch. I'm going!

Bossing VIC SOTTO for BOSSMAXX3 Capsule and Coffee

It was a nice and fun afternoon over at the BOSSMAX3 Capsule and Coffee launch with their main man Bossing Vic Sotto and host Paulo Ballesteros giving us reasons why we should take these products from Corbridge a try.

BOSSMAX3 are dietary supplements and coffee made from Mangosteen Xanthone, one of our favorite local fruits that is said to have a throng of health benefits. Vic Sotto says "In many years, I've had the opportunity to give joy to other people. I take care of my health, I owe it to myself and my family. I do exercise, proper diet, and the bossing of my health BOSSMAX3, because your health is your boss."

He adds "When we did the shoot, Boss Gap was really attending to my needs. From capsule to coffee, I had it all. Mangosteen is a favorite, I called my driver to buy some for me but when he came back he told me "I can't find the store of Mang Gusting", no not my barber! Thank you to my Corbridge family for choosing me as an endorser, thank you for the warm welcome. Times are challenging and we've faced the pandemic head on while working at home. We follow protocols, and still adjusting to the new normal. This keeps me healthy, and you need the extra boost to keep you in shape, BOSSMAX3 does it for me! Aside from that, please text Pauline for my secrets. Being healthy for me especially during this pandemic, has been very important and we've seen that in the last few years. For a longer life, a better outlook in life, right food, supplements and vitamins, and not just coffee, you need a good one with health benefits. You also need to think about your mental health because that becomes who you are physically. I don't really endorse things that I don't believe in, and now that I'm younger, you have to double your efforts in taking care of your health. It's good to get older, you often felt it was hard, but I enjoy it now because we have discounts and feel it's good to grow... and BOSSMAX3 is good too."

Corbridge Group Philippines President and GM German Panghulan says "BOSSMAX3 is launching today, thank you Maru Sotto for making this possible. We welcome Vic Sotto to our Corbridge family. We have released products that add value for the community, it has been more apparent during these times in having good supplements for our consumers. We see ourselves doing this more in the years to come."

The BOSSMAX3 Coffee Strong costs Php 17.50 per sachet and Php 175.00 Box of 10s P175.00 while the BOSSMAX3 Coffee Creamy version costs Php 21.00 per sachet or Php 210 per box of 10's. The capsules cost Php 9.75 only, not fit for kids or lactating moms. BOSSMAX3 is available in Mercury Drug and Watson's Stores nationwide. Vic Sotto takes both the Creamy and Strong version, so you can do the same and take it when you feel like it. The BOSSMAX3 Coffee has Stevia as sweetener, so diabetics like me can have it. Now only if there's one in my home... baka naman!

PIOLO, MATTEO, Ms. CHARO Talk About Sun Life's Health Campaign

These days, what do you need most? Is it Love? Health? Wealth? Time? or Travel? This was actually asked during a Sunlife event this morning.

Alex Narciso the President of Sunlife of Canada (Phils) says "Sunlife has always been a staunch health advocate. Health is a key to a brighter future. This was solidified in 2020 when the pandemic happened. We need to live a fuller life with our loved ones, we need to be more prepared in medical emergencies and in protecting our health. We designed programs to be more comprehensive, we have a wider suite of health products with the evolving health needs of Filipinos. We now have GOWELL for health and wellness content, recipes, workout videos, webinars, promos and perks. We pivoted to become digital so they would be able to connect with advisors without leaving the comfort our our clients homes. We also value health literacy, hence our partnerships with organizations. This includes womens health, breast cancer information, help the greater community pursue a healthier life as well. We have launched projects to uplift the lives of our kababayans in Barangay Health Stations, so they too have access to preventive medicine. The foundation is funding construction for health stations, ensure it has personnel, and so far we have 8 in the municipalities in Batangas. Soon, there will be 42 by 2025. This is also fueled by SunPiology, as we raised funds for scholars, diabetes care, construct better care protecting persons from the disease. Our friends and partners, Sunlife is committed to make Filipinos live healthier lives. We want to re-affirm this commitment because it's worth it!"

Carla Gonzales Chong Marketing and Client Experience OIC for Sun Life Philippines says "We believe that in order to be financially secure, we need to help our clients live healthier lives. We need to take care of their various priorities of not being sick, and COVID-19 impacted a lot of lives. Majority would pay for health supplements, eat healthy, but only few have health and self insurance. Being financially prepared in cases like sickness can take a huge dent in our savings. Sunlife encourages to prepare for it early on, it includes investment in health. Matteo, Piolo believes that it is worth it. We invest in health to provide for our loved ones, to live longer, healthier lives."

 

Matteo says "I really rely on Sunlife for our life protection plan, for first time insurance buyers, it's affordable but has maximum protection. I am inspired to take care of myself so we have more time for each other. We're celebrating our 2nd anniversary. My wife also takes care of my health."

Piolo says "Sun Fit and Well makes me confident that I'd be taken cared of if the uneventful happens. You need to respect yourself. I told my son to not spend so much while he's in the US. He lives a healthy lifestyle and I don't think I have to remind him anymore, he's taking good care of himself and I know even if the work is hard, he's good physically."

Ms. Charo Santos Concio says "I'm glad I haven't had an investment that I regret, I really had a knack for it and have done a good job. I took the life plans because when my Father passed, it's what kept us afloat life wise. It made us survive during those times, so it's very personal for me."

The two gentlemen and iconic lady will be also releasing a couple of videos depicting their advise for their younger selves. To know more about their new products like the SUN First Aid Plus (which Matteo talked lengthy about), SUN Fit & Well (which Piolo swears by) and SUN ICU Protect (for serious emergency illnesses that Ms. Charo mentioned), you may go to a preferred Sun Life Advisor to get what's apt for you.
