VARGAS Issues Statement on Recent Legal Letdowns

Actor and QC Councilor Alfred Vargas just released a statement after learning recent legal results of their filed complaint (him and his wife) against those who bullied their son on supposed several occasions. 

On his official Facebook page, he thanked those who have been getting in touch with them and shown support. He also showed his dismay and felt his world is crumbling, saying how he feels so sad for his kids, and him unequivocally failed as a parent. He has also shown concern about the avenues of help he could go to if they would have the same fate as his kids who experienced bullying, repeated trauma while in the midst of a lot of people. This experience (undergoing the case) has taught them to never give up, and will continue to fight against all forms of bullying. 

Here's what they published a few hours ago: 

He has also sent his thanks for those who have sent their support and says he is still overwhelmed by your messages. He wishes to let you know that they will continue to fight this, and believe the cause is all worth it. 

Here's wishing they get justice they deserve.

COCO MARTIN and JULIA MONTES The Perfect Match with REGASCO

A Perfect Match, words that describe the country's premier actor Coco Martin and actress Julia Montes. This is something that REGASCO.also believes in and yes, they are the face of Republic Gas Corporation. They are also signing with the company, together, as one. 

REGASCO President and CEO Arnel Ty says "We wish to welcome all of you here today. REGASCO has been in the industry for 28 years now, and we are now nationwide as we enter Mindanao this year. Our special guest, are proof that we are continuing to cater to household consumers, as partners in kitchens everywhere. We thank General Torre, Ms. Shirley Kuan, Mama Ogie Diaz and you for being here."

Also at the event are executives Anson Robin Ponce the Marketing Head and Ms. Lesley Yiu the managing director for REGASCO.

Coco says "This is the first time that we are signing something together so this is very special for me. I am excited for what's about to happen in the next few years with REGASCO. This is not just because they are helping us, but we go places and promote together. I can be with her even more. Sigabo by the way will be out on June 22, we have rested and recharged and I'm happy that it is better than Batang Quiapo and our other series. It will give happiness and inspiration. Julia has been studying culinary thrice, and I feel that. I'm an HRM graduate and I also cook for her. She requests Pares, Cochinilio, which took me a lot of time to perfect. Cooking takes time, but if you include a lot of love, bonding, it's quality time spent together. We are very private when it comes to our relationship, but we get respect out of that. When our relationship lasts this long, the more love we have. She's always the person beside me, I get a lot of courage when I'm with her. We will be doing a film very soon, and the Lord blessed us with REGASCO and a lot of brands that trusts us still. Respect is part of our culture, we grew up with our grand parents and help each other, support each other and I hope people get inspired with that."

Julia says "To be completely honest, REGASCO has always been supporting us in our businesses and our family. I want to reinvent Kare Kare because that's Coco's favorite. A perfect match is like having God at the center of everything. I am blessed with him, I am blessed with Coco. There's no perfect relationship but ours is solid because of him."

From its humble beginnings in Malabon, to over 30 refilling stations, 4000 dealers nationwide, the one that makes sure the weight is correct, only REGASCO has that!

Coco and Julia will be going around the nation so you will also get to know who REGASCO is. They're making sure you hear it from them personally, and they send their thanks for making them a part of the family, while they are being treated like family. Congratulations Coco and Julia! 

Stressful, Creepy and Totally Crazy: Watch BACKROOMS on June 3!

CreaZion Studios International and A24 brought the highly anticipated movie "Backrooms" to the Philippines. Got the chance to watch it on an Advanced Screening event at Megamall's SM Cinemas this evening, and it did not disappoint!

First off, it immediately gave us that 90's vibe folks love. We got to feel how it is viewing stuff through a VHS tape.  Fair warning, the flow of the movie would be quite torturous for claustrophobics. While it remains a slow burn (on some instances), it's super immersive like you'd feel like YOU are in the story. You also get conditioned that you are safe at times, then get your heart racing when you least expect it. I'd liken it to a psychiatric session, driven by various emotional baggage (of the characters), then a little tense... a little scary... inside a furniture store in the middle of nowhere. 

Then folks just find themselves inside a weird room, that slowly just becomes smaller, tighter, creepier, which you don't even know how you even got involved in it. I like the premise, the way things were introduced, and the manner it became scary (sometimes without blood and gore). 

It's stressful, interesting, and got lots of jump scares. You'll catch folks screaming in the cinemas (go ahead!). One minute you're okay, then get unaware you're already trapped a room you're unfamiliar with. It will be double hard for folks to even spoil this movie because much of the story remains psychological. Folks would ask if what's happening is already crazy, or is it just you? 

By all means, experience all of these by watching Backrooms which will premiere on June 3 in Philippine cinemas. This will also be shown in other Asian regions. Are you scared something might happen to you?! Don't let your curiosity lead you here! Or you'll be sorry! 

It's one heck of a creepy movie (an expected Kane Parsons masterpiece). The rush will keep you going. Just don't say I didn't warn you though! This gets a strong 4/5 cows 🐮🐮🐮🐮.

Golden Haven Zamboanga Bags Laurels from FIABCI Property and Real Estate Awards

Looks like the good people from Zamboanga have a lot to be happy about this week as accolades came for Golden Haven Zamboanga Crematorium. They are the Gold Winner for the Outstanding Developer Category (Specialized/ Purpose Built) which was given at ceremonies held at Solaire Resort North in Quezon City. Because of their work in modern but culturally sensitive properties which addressed the needs in the region, they were given the award by FIABCI. The project was completed in 2024 and has become a center for services that accommodate families, spaces they need, rooms and crematorium services that Filipinos need. 

This is just one of many locations they cater for, which now makes the burial services needed for others a primary service they can do. Their division head Ms. Emelia Lustado proudly said that they are so proud to service families and their loved ones in the most difficult circumstances and appreciate their trust with the Golden Haven brand. They promise to always uphold standards, and innovate even more in the coming years. They hold this as their responsibility for their clients, and the community they belong to around the country. 

Congratulations on this win! May your trihe increase!
