Antique: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea on Discovery Channel

Just got off the press conference on Antique: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea hosted by the office of DS Loren Legarda and the Department of Tourism. This has been attended by several government dignitaries and executives from Discovery Channel where this will be shown this coming March 23, 2022. This documentary is produced by Studio H20 through DS Loren Legarda's office, the DOT and in partnership with the Province of Antique.

 

 

DS Loren Legarda says "I would want to give my full undivided attention to this project which is close to my heart. During the pandemic, we worked on this which delves on marine biodiversity. This is a Senate project with the DOT so funds will be allocated to them. This is not the first I've done with several groups. We have legislated 94 laws, and if mandated there would be a multitude of national parks and they will be given management plans, this will be my legacy. The loss of plants, animals, on land and underwater could be detrimental for the future. I put all it into bills, together with Senator Villar, and covers 2 areas in Antique which will be part of the feature. This houses marine riches, that puts food in the table, and the discoveries of Studio H2O is just a paradise. We give due recognition to UP Marine Science Institute and RARE Philippines, all our 18 Mayors, Vice Mayors, who will enact local versions. What they did was a community based coral reef monitoring, hired and worked with local people, fisher-folks around the designated areas. They discovered areas suitable for coral growth, more places for fish diversities, 2 endangered species found in our waters, and Manta Rays found only in the country. More exploratory dives should be done as more remains to be seen. I would like to do a project with the DOT, the DENR and LGU's."

 

Boogs Rosales of Studio H2O adds "We really worked hard to push through with our shoot, it will be shown on Discovery Channel for two days. We're glad that we got to work with the various government agencies and have this shown to an international audience. As DS, the funding was from their office, through the DOT. It's a process that went through bidding, it was very hard to work on it. Part of the funding went to also showcasing it in Discovery channel, to promote and highlight the province through visuals and our storytelling."   

Antique: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea will be shown on the Discovery Channel this March 23rd at 6:15PM and will be replayed on March 24 at 8:15AM and 11:25AM Philippine time. This will also be aired in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and India where Discovery Channel is available.

KIANA V To Perform at the SXSW Music Festival

I've loved KIANA V's music for its international flair, flavor, a sound that can unmistakably be even better than those who are in top charts in the US or elsewhere in the globe. 

In a couple of days, she's set to perform at the SXSW (South By Southwest) Music Festival at Austin, Texas. The event running from March 14 to 20 will be featuring 240 artists and will be an in person event, much of which has been missed in two years. Kiana V has recently released a single entitled "Heartbeat On Me" together with a music video directed by Gab Valenciano (who's gotten several awards for his previous work, and consequently her brother). The track is soothing as they utilized synthesizers with light beats, you'll love her even more. Kiana says "It's about falling in love with someone, as if you're scared to see if the other party would reciprocate the feeling, and hope it is mutual." This is also part of the EP Dazed which has been lauded by Spin, NME, Hypebae, Office Magazine, Paper Magazine among others.

Kiana V has gotten awards from Awit Awards, MYX, Wish FM, McMillan Woods Global Awards and featured in Spotify's NYC Times Square billboard last year. She will also be appearing in a MYX original series called "The Crossover" which will be shown on different platforms. Make sure you're subscribed to her YouTube and social channels. Meanwhile, treat yourself with this video.

 

Congratulations Kiana V!

JUDY ANN SANTOS-AGONCILLO Endorses Europe's #1 Appliance Brand BEKO

She's a great mom, awesome wife, a fabulous home maker, restaurateur, content creator and multi awarded actress in the Philippines. She's Judy Ann Santos Agoncillo, trusted by millions, and she's now the face of number one EU appliance maker, BEKO in the Philippines.

TRUST, such a big word but it is why they chose Juday (as most people in the Philippines call her) as their brand ambassador. She also has been cooking a lot lately on her YouTube channel that's been watched by millions and she personifies what the brand stands for, "Live Like A Pro". These days, people can get information on platforms and make a dish at home that would even equate the best things served in restaurants. Aside from that, there are equipment and appliances that can keep your things you buy in the market FRESH for a long time. Juday has experienced using their cookers, refrigerators and ovens and takes Beko's appliances when she cooks for family, friends and customers, and be truly satisfied with its quality. Judy Ann says "When I endorse brands, I really try it out and study if it's something that I'd use, and this is a perfect fit for me. I also love how they care for a healthier lifestyle which I think Filipinos should start taking seriously, their values surely align with mine. I am really overwhelmed to be asked to do this!"

You'll be seeing more of the Queen of Primetime Drama in Beko's campaigns and materials when their appliances are displayed in markets nationwide. Really, if Juday trusts the appliances from Beko in her home, wouldn't you want that in yours too?

Congratulations Juday and Beko too!
