VILMARK VIRAY Releases 2nd Heartbreaking Single "LISAN"

How did you spend your Christmas last year? Was it a happy one? For most, it should have been but not for singer and artist Vilmark Viray. The young promising singer just got his heart broken as his Dad met an accident in the shower on Christmas day. It was supposed to be a day of celebration, but unfortunately, he succumbed to aneurysm two days after. Vilmark was hurt, like anyone who would experience something like this, and didn't know how to process it. He took to writing this song called "LISAN" on the first day of the wake, and took off from that. Just like the way he sings songs, he poured emotions, things that he wanted to say, and now he was taking his heart out to dedicate this for his Dad. 

Here's a part of our interview with him this morning:

Vilmark knows, his Dad will be happy that he's continuing his dreams. Aside from being an Electrical Engineer, his passion has always been singing. Vilmark hopes that everyone who gets to hear his song would be able to relate and feel what he's going through. His Mom and Dad was always there to support him during times he was competing in The Clash. Dedicating this song to one of the most important people in his life is just proper, and he hopes when his Dad sees him today, that he would be proud of him just like the rest of his family.

Go stream his song LISAN on all streaming platforms or just search his name Vilmark Viray. He's very talented and he deserves to have his own concert which I certainly hope would come true soon!

Ken Chan's PAPA MASCOT Shows in 100 Theaters Today!

We love Ken Chan, I mean, who doesn't? He's the most charming, adorable and very kind artist even back in the day. Today is going to be epic as his film PAPA MASCOT will be shown in 100 theaters nationwide. Ken Chan is a little nervous but so proud about it since a few of his friends already saw it during the celebrity screening a few days ago. They've been very supportive just like when Ken needs them, he felt a lot of pressure but he was happy how they reacted during that day. Some of them cried about the film, and told him personally why they loved it. The feedback so far has been very positive. He's also part of the producers, and they plan to actually make more soon.

 

Ken says "It's so touching to see the support of GMA and Sparkle management. They even supported me in my businesses, they send press and bloggers to help me in everything that I do, it's really a big help. I don't even have to request, they reach out to me and I'm lucky for that. Even if this movie wasn't produced by them, they encourage me to do more projects. PAPA MASCOT certainly was hard to do but I don't complain, because it needs to be shown on film, the characters obstacles, it's hard to have that be shown on screen but the story needs to be drawn. Like the character, I experienced the same when I was starting. I didn't have tents, I didn't have a place to go when I was just a nobody. I prayed for my success, it wasn't a joke and I even had my parents with me that time. I want longevity, this is my passion and I would want to be able to work with the industry's best right from the start."

This is directed by Louie Ignacio and he had to level up acting wise because it needs to be toned down as the personality of the mascot is big already. You will feel pain, you will feel love with PAPA MASCOT. Imagine what you'll feel in the cinemas, go watch it today please as I will too!

This is under One International Films.

Robinsons Appliances x Home Credit Holiday Shopping Spree Winners Bared

Had so much fun visiting Robinsons Antipolo this afternoon as Robinsons Appliances and Home Credit just concluded their Holiday Shopping Spree promo. They have held this during the last quarter of 2022 and awarded them this April 25th in front of shoppers, the media and executives from both Robinsons Appliances and Puneet Suneja of Home Credit Philippines too.

The event was hosted by Chariz Solomon, mainstay of hit gag show Bubble Gang (and my favorite portion Balitang Ina), she was so fun to be with as people relate to her small stories in between formal talk. This particular promo is just part of the multiple things Robinsons Appliances plan to do with Home Credit. They find Home Credit to be a very convenient solution for shoppers to use when they don't have credit cards. They also approve quite fast with the proper requirements, and the winners actually attested to it during the short program.

Check out the highlights of the event earlier, and our interview with the Robinsons Appliances executive too.

They awarded 200,000 peso worth of GC's to Catherine Trajano and Terese Opena who bought freezers (for their frozen goods business), TV's and airconditioner (for home use). Just like them, you can get to use Home Credit at Robinsons Appliances stores nationwide, they are still at it, doing more promos in different forms so aside from getting your home appliance, you get to win prizes from them too.

Congratulations to all the winners! I'm sure there's a lot of you thinking of getting an airconditioner during these hot months, you should try Home Credit if you are buying something from Robinsons Appliances.

He joins a roster of Brilliant Skin ambassadors such as Seth Fedelin, Jillian Ward, Zeinab Harake and Andrea Brilliantes. Alden will also be endorsing their newest product, the Sunscreen Gel-Cream SPF 30 that protects from UVA and UVB rays and keeps skin moisturized. 

 

 

 

Alden says "Thank you for being here today! Thank you Ms. Glenda for making me part of the Brilliant Skin family, I'm so excited to work with you and the people behind it." Together with Alden was Ms. Joy and Ms. Tracy of Sparkle, and a signing ceremony commenced.
