Kimpoy Sparks Romance with Three Subway B.M.T Sandwiches

Looks like Vlogger Kimpoy Feliciano has his hands full choosing between three B, M and T, played by Natazha Bautista, Breena Ylaya and Queen Semana in a digital ad for popular brand Subway released today. The ladies have their own personas, where one is adventurous, one is a health freak, and also one is practical, so choosing among them alone will be a huge task much like his obsession with three B.M.T sandwiches which he loves from Subway.

He says "Every time I go to Subway, I see a sandwich fit for any occasion, it's quite hard to pick one because I've got a lot of favorites. There's certainly one Subway B.M.T. Sandwich for you!"

Whether you love the B.M.T. Classic, the Double Cheese or the Egg Mayo B.M.T. Plus variant, you get your fill of freshness without going over budget. 

As Mr. Joshua Wahiman, the Marketing Manager of Subway Philippines puts it "Love is such a relatable topic especially for Filipinos much like the sandwich options you can get at every Subway branch. Kimpoy has definitely put our message across, we love how he did it on our digital ad." 

Kimpoy's Full Confession 💚

Because with Subway®, YOU can have the BIGGEST, MEATIEST, and TASTIEST choices 🥪 of Classic B.M.T.™, B.M.T.™ Plus, and B.M.T.™ Double Cheese. Truly #WorthEat!

RIA ATAYDE is Your New WHITE CASTLE Calendar Girl 2023

I am personally so happy to see this happen as gorgeous actress Ria Atayde don the much coveted White Castle Calendar this 2023. This was witnessed by select press and executives of Destileria Limtuaco & Co., Inc. this afternoon.

I'm sure over the years, you've identified White Castle Whisky with the iconic red bikini clad female riding a white horse, but management figured it was a bit arduous for them to train women to ride horses (which they did in the past) and do the actual shoot after that. Last year, they did a campaign differently by letting the public choose, this was when Sassa Gurl entered the competition and won. It was certainly a risk for them, but they understood it was but a proper time to have the LGBTQIA+ sector to be represented, a very current social step that got them in touch with a new younger market and a social media presence they gladly received. A few months before that, they also got Ninong Ry to represent the brand, all of which had awesome reception from the public albeit restrictions because of the pandemic. All of these made them realize to use their platform to also cater to different causes and advocacies.

Ms Olivia Limpe-Aw says "My father created White Castle Whisky and the several advertisements with the horse and castle in it. As we celebrate 60 years, the White Castle Calendar has featured several women, LGBT, and has brought social issues in the forefront. This year, we have the diversity in beauty campaign continued as we believe it is inclusive and promote body positivity + build our confidence. We welcome 2023 by celebrating that and beauty, let's cheer for White castle Whisky!" 

She adds "As you noticed we have Ninong Ry and last year with Sassa Gurl, we believe that if you are confident, you are beautiful. Let's not be obsessed by size, color, it's what's inside that matters and we're happy to have Ria represent the brand!"

Ria Atayde certainly had a very successful 2022. Aside from working in several series and shows, she had her hand in production together with her folks and siblings. Needless to say, her successful stint in MIPCOM Cannes has brought honor to the country and peers in Cannes, France via their production company Nathan Studios and ABS-CBN.  They also have finished filming several projects which will have international distribution and also be seen on platforms, much will be released this year so there's certainly a lot to look forward to. During the press conference, she also talked about her real struggles with body dysmorphia. 

She says "I never thought it was going to be possible as usually, calendar girls have a certain mold in the country. White Castle proved us all that big girls can get to do this. The campaign revolves around body positivity, flaws and all. I never thought I'd be one, this made me realize "kaya pala" (it's possible!). I'd be lying if I'm unaffected with all of that but I'd rather workout because I love it, now it's just a positive thing, not dreading it makes all the difference. You just have to turn off the noise, you only listen to those who matter. People have a lot of things to say, but I don't stop telling them about my advocacy."

Talented, strong, powerful, and deserving... Ria Atayde is now your new White Castle Whisky Calendar Girl for 2023. 

Congratulations Ria! <3

"I AM TONI" Ticket Issues Explained by Producer

Looks like January 20 is almost here and rumors are spreading about Toni Gonzaga's concert "ticket sales" are spreading, and this morning, one of the concert producers Joed Serrano released a statement.

The former actor and businessman says "As of January 13 friday at 4:45pm, The  I Am Toni  concert @ the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Jan 20, 2023 has already sold 55% of the tickets." 

He adds "20% goes to the sponsors who pledged their support for their endorser toni gonzaga. Mommy Pinti ordered & paid 350 tickets for her friends, relatives and church mates who ordered from her. Me as one of the producers also reserved some 300 tickets for my friends who ordered from me instead of going to Ticketnet. These tickets are paid. Complimentary ones will only be given to family and close friends. I hope people discern politics and entertainment. As of this date, we still have about 15% of the tickets unsold. You can still buy your tickets & get a chance to watch this very controversial concert. It's a celebration of 20 years in showbusiness & the birthday of our dearest Toni Gonzaga. Let us all unite & be positive in life. Move on & be kind to all." 

"Let us all give ourselves a chance to be good in this world. Smile, lessen negativity in life. If you don't have anything good to say , then might as well be quiet rather than be stressed. See you all on Jan. 20, 2023 friday 8pm at the Araneta coliseum."

It's definitely going to be a good time for all her fans and supporters to show up on her special day to re-live Toni Gonzaga's 20 years in the business. You may get tickets from concert producers and Ticketnet as it's still available online and at the Araneta box office. 

LG Highlights New Soundbars at CES 2023

Looks like LG Electronics took advantage of the CES show in Las Vegas as they introduced new Soundbars and Home Entertainment products this January.

For starters, they've got the new SC9 and SE6 models that could bring exceptional audio with state of the art features and very stylish designs. It also can be perfectly paired with the existing LG TV models and connect with its audio channels so you get an immersive experience even at home. This can be perfect for those looking for multi surround solutions so owners can listen to Dolby Atmos and IMAX quality sound through DTS:X technology.

It's also easy to control and manage from the LG TV's Home Dashboard even wirelessly via WOWCAST so you don't need to have wires running from wall to wall. It also looks pretty and very minimalist which LG is quite known for. Also, with LG's Triple Sound Optimizer, you can enjoy life like sound, much like spatial audio for those movies or music videos you absolutely love!

If that ain't enough, LG also has an advanced AI Sound Pro feature which automatically chooses the sound settings for you without the need for mumbo jumbo. Imagine the things you could do with the wireless soundbars that LG has in their arsenal, it would be easy to design home theaters, listening rooms and just about any entertainment space you like. I'd love to also see it perform with video gaming consoles since I'm quite fond of it. 

Judging from the product photos from the event, it's fit for small spaces and quite sleek, so it'll fit right in your home especially if your space is a little modern. You should take a look at CES 2023 highlights and see what advancements LG has in store for you. See why almost every home in South Korea has this brand.
