Globe Wants You to Celebrate GDay Every Day!

When we arrived at the GDay Mediacon this evening, we were asked if we were ready to make GDay everyday. Sure, we are absolutely sure.

What's to come on GDay? According to Globe, they will be giving customers a whole lot more this 2024 and why not, everything is possible when GDay becomes everyday!

917 GDay Lead Peter Ramirez says "We have more ways to earn points, have more games and AI, even music with all new rewards. Opening the Globe One app and clicking join, prepaid customers can buy promos, and post paid customers can pay their bills. You will get additional points in doing several challenges. You can say Oh My G when you win raffles real time. You can also rally on several challenges for community goals and yes, you earn points from it. GFair, G activities, G Raffle Rush and more to encourage you to help and win some raffle prizes. One point is equal to 5 raffle entries, when you redeem you can instantly validate on forms weekly on Globe's channels. You might win phones, wearables, scooters, Avida Condo or trip to El Nido. Customers with multiple accounts like Globe Home and prepaid lines, you get more points too. This goes the same with Globe Business partners, at the hub you'll see more solutions. This is just the start!"

He adds "Our postpaid, platinum subscribers will have exclusive perks for top brands nationwide. There will be massive discounts, flash deals via Living it Large! Living it Live! and more!"

GFest is sold out where BINI is performing, it's a celebration to blend music, only for 25 points for tickets. Other performers like Sunkissed Lola, Jason Dhakal, with partner schools too. G Gantic Goals is where you can team up for causes where you can send points for goals to support 917 families. As of today, the cause is 61 percent and it only takes one point to help Filipinos. They want to thank all those who contributed, they want to help you give back to communities you care for. There will be more!

Crisela Magpayo Cervante of Globe's Marketing arm says "We are embracing change, we are evolving. Family is who you choose to live for. The time we spend with them is important. We want to support the needs of every home, in mobile or broadband services. We want to serve every version of the Filipino family. We can go forward together."

The year is certainly short for the things that Globe is planning especially with the way they connect with their loyal customers, and from the things we've seen at the event... being with Globe seems worth it.

For those who want to see and note of the nitty gritty details of what GDay every day means, make sure you follow their social channels because they'll be posting more of the events and mechanics for rewards on it. Make it a G Day Every Day!

PS: Events like the G Fair and Living It! will be at the BGC Amphitheater on September 20 to 21. G Fest will happen at the SMX Convention Center, but yes the BINI gig is already sold out. G Fest will be happening in the Visayas at Iloilo City's Convention Center, so make sure you make time to be a part of it!

MC Einstein and Queen of RnB KYLA Releases "LAMBALAK" Single

MC Einstein and Queen of RnB KYLA

Looks like RnB songs are making a huge comeback as top hits list them all again in the Philippines. Recently, we had the chance to chat with MC Einstein (artist-songwriter, Ex-Batallion) and the Queen of RnB songs, KYLA at the Cornerstone Studios in Quezon City. They were both excited about this new single they did a duet of called "LAMBALAK", which MC Einstein also wrote and released today.

The actual story of this was quite interesting. They had an out of town event where Yeng Constantino, MC Einstein and a couple of Cornerstone artists were supposed to go. On the day of the flight, Yeng got sick and was rushed to the hospital. They had to have another artist to sing at the event and got KYLA. At the plane, they were seated beside each other and at first, MC Einstein was a little nervous. When all was settled, he mustered up the courage to tell Kyla that he wanted to do a collaboration with her. He's a big fan of that genre and grew up listening to Kyla's songs, so he was just pushing his luck. Little did he know Kyla knew him too because she listened to his songs, and just said "Let's go, when will we record?". 

MC Einstein was surprised at how receptive Kyla was. A few calls, going back and forth, he sent Kyla the chorus part of "LAMBALAK" where she only said "Okay so when will we record?!". He was again excited because Kyla didn't even ask for any change in the melody or lyrics, she was just happy to sing it the way MC Einstein wanted it to because Kyla said "It felt like I was listening to the RnB songs I used to sing, it felt like HOME!".

Here's the rest of our interview with them on video, please enjoy!

They will be releasing the song "LAMBALAK" today at 12am and will be doing a live stream on their platforms. Make sure you follow the individual artists pages and Cornerstone Entertainment for more updates about the single's release. We listened to it and loved how sexy it sounded, seriously, you should give it a stream today!

Congratulations MC Einstein and Kyla! Hope this hits the charts today!

BELA PADILLA Launches Own Beauty Brand BELA

Bela Padilla has made waves being a very versatile actress, a noted writer, and a very talented director. Since last year, she's been living in the UK and have been enjoying and found refuge in the cold weather, while still being able to work in PH based projects when needed. She goes back to the Philippines when needed and this time, she's wearing a new hat other than endorsing beauty brands. She made one of her own, and called it properly, BELA.

BELA Dot Perfection and BELA Color Changing Lip Balm

 

Two products were introduced during the launch namely BELA Dot Perfection and BELA Color Changing Lip Balm. We got to ask her a few questions during the event and she says "I've been using this cheek and lip balm for a few months since I had prototypes. I really use it, and when I put my name on it I truly believe it. I have been on hiatus, but today I believe you guys can use it too. I know it works, and I leave the house with nothing but tint. The video earlier showcased different people of different ages. It is safe for everyone, and can say I'm the biggest fan of it. The first collection is just 2 things, but you can use it every day."

She adds "We are now available in three malls in Bacolod where we did a pre launch. Apply only one dot on each cheek because it is very potent (hence a tube will last you a few months). We found manufacturers in the Philippines and tested it with a lot of people. It was the best way we could see if the products work or not. This is color adaptive so it can be used for different skin types. It looks natural and will look like skin blush as an end product. We want to do this first and maybe have other artists or people to do other products under the Bela brand. It's very moisturizing, and I'm even very sensitive and I use this constantly. I get breakouts with other brands but this one had no reaction on me."

As for the brand, she mentioned "I wanna veer away from empowerment angle because I believe it's not because of looks that we become confident. I don't have a full face of makeup, but I want people to feel good even without putting much on our skin."

Here's our interview with her a few days ago, listen in!

Bela is quite happy how this all seem to turn out. From countless hours of conceptualizing a product that she loves, to using it countless times even without anything on in public, just these two. She also packaged it in her lucky color, made it for the tropical climate and want every mary, joe, rupaul or brando to use it if they feel like it. No matter what shape or form you are, you can use BELA. She found her brand, you can too.

Congratulations Bela! You deserve all the success because you're a kind soul.

More Space for MEN in Entertainment: Meet MAGIC VOYZ

With the recent popularity of PPOP, singing groups, and all, there certainly a place for more. Recently, the folks from VIVA Records and LDG Productions launched an all male sing and dance group called MAGIC VOYZ. Meet Jhon Mark Marcia, Juan Paulo Calma, Mhack Morales, Rave Obado, Jace Ramos, Ian Briones and Johan Shane. 

They're not new to acting since some of them appear in Viva's platform and indie movies. They had promise, so LDG productions and Viva Records are putting a risk with these guys. We sat at few meters from them at the Viva Cafe stage last night. From the looks of it, the audience was captivated by their magic.They've been influenced heavily by Magic Mike, hence the name of their group. The ladies love them, the singing was lovely, the dancing was insatiable.

MAGIC VOYZ then introduced themselves and performed a couple of their original songs (a Filipino song called “Wag Mo Akong Titigan”, and the other is called “Bintana”). They wanted to showcase their versatility, which is why they're doing this in front of a packed shop. A few of them did a cover of Bruno Mars' 24K Magic and the romantic song "Mahal na Mahal". Their manager Lito De Guzman successfully launched similar groups in the past, and he missed doing this a lot. I could liken their songs to a more novelty pop genre, but it's the whole package that patrons will be getting because at the end of the day, they are "entertainers".

They are pretty nice too. When we had the chance to chat with them after the show, they were very eager to talk about their music, their new group, and the excitement of performing on stage. They are also planning to perform regularly at Viva Cafe and out of town shows, so if you hear of them in your side of the woods, you should definitely go and get to know them.

With talks about them competing with other artists, the boys immediately dispelled the rumors because the only thing they want to bring on the table is a different kind of entertainment. Surely, there's going to be a niche market they could cater to because yes, there's MORE space for men in entertainment.

If you want them in your events, you can contact their management via their FB page (just search Magic Voyz on Facebook) or call Viva Artists Agency at 0917-840-35-22. Just go ahead and give them a call.
