SANDARA PARK Appears at the LG XBOOM AI Line Launch in the Philippines

Spent the evening at the Music Hall of SM.Mall of Asia as LG unleashes their new LG XBOOM AI Speakers. Initially they had James Reid as one of the performers but he begged off because of health issues. But fret not because Pambansang Krungkrung and 2NE1's Sandara Park was there to show us her personal favorites among their products and perform too. I loved how she really did sing a capella after choosing IN OR OUT in the Karaoke. She was super gracious!

Jaesung Kim from LG says "With LG XBOOM AI we bring technology made for the music lover. Global sound and global soul, we prepared a few performances to give you a glimpse of the future of sound. Welcome to LGXboom AI 2026!"

Then they introduced the new stuff they've been doing with Will.I.am XBOOM Line. First off at the features like AI Karaoke Master, AI Sound, AI Light, and Space Calibration Pro. Some of them also gave Auracast support which means you can combine several speakers with one connection. This is how they want to make sound more powerful. 

Sandara Park also shared what she missed most in the Philippines including food and performing. They also held the LG Idol Competition (where contestants showed world class things), plus presented 2 charity initiatives with groups. They also streamed Will.I.am live to talk about music and technology, especially the line he did with LG global. Will says "I love the things I'm doing with LG, working with them in sound especially the new ones released. So many styles of speakers, also the Karaoke for the Philippines because you are the kings and queens of it. You can enjoy LG XBOOM line. I wish I was there with Sandara, I love the work they have done in the past. We go way back. I am proud of you and happy that we are still connected! Salamat and thank you!"

If you're in the lookout for things that can make the best sound in your home, make sure LG is part of your options!

ALFRED VARGAS Calls for Immediate Action and Protection for Fur Parents and Fur Babies

It is quite disheartening to hear about recent news that involved that pet crematorium in Bacoor, Cavite who accepted payment to cremate deceased pets, but turned out only dumping them elsewhere (26 in San Jose Del Monte Bulacan). 

This calls for immediate action and protection not just for the fur babies, but for the fur parents too. Former Congressman and current 5th District Councilor Alfred Vargas recently went to social media to address this situation especially for Quezon City residents. He's been monitoring developments in previous days and said "As a pet lover and concerned pet owner, I feel how much hurt and anger that those who have been victimized by the said business. They're not just pets for us, but are part of our families, and are supposed to be treated humanely when they pass. They deserve the same love and respect given to them by their fur parents. We are supporting the current investigations against who abused this trade. We cannot let them get away with this, and bring them to justice. In Quezon City, we are working with different departments that are involved in policy making and enforcement to make sure that our fur parents and pets will remain protected."

We fervently hope that incidents like these won't happen in our city and strict policies get enforced, and harsher punishment for inhumane acts like it be done so that we remain protected, and people like them won't even think about doing it. 

Forest Lake Combines Celebrations with UNDASKO

A usual All Souls/Saints day and a festive Christmas can be celebrated together, that's no problem with memorial park developer Forest Lake. They've proven this already by doing UNDASKO twice over the years, and on their 3rd installment, it's bigger, better and totally fun! Last October 15th, the whole Forest Lake in Biñan Laguna was set to become a place for festivities as they did it again by encouraging families to remember the lives of their loved ones and had them all together organized by Total Memorial Care. I'm sure you've seen one of the nicest comedians lately in the news as Ate Gay and her friends did "Habang Naririto Ka: A Celebration of Life for Ate Gay". Instead of doing a tribute when a person is no longer here, they did it when she's still here which many Filipinos found so positive as friends and family celebrated her life while she can still see it, and still hear it. I found how she really appreciated the gesture and they got to thank her profusely in that event, and I think I love the thought of it. The testimonies were real, and she received it wholeheartedly. 

At the location, they also did a Christmas Tree lighting event for their 42 sites, then did a free concert too later in the evening. They had music and entertainment which people enjoyed, donning the theme "Celebrate Life, Remember with Love" that exactly captures the moment. UNDASKO this year certainly felt good, while they still did the usual ceremonies, they made it a little more entertaining for the celebrant, families and friends with the living funeral. They lit the Christmas trees and decorations too to the delight of the public. 

At Forest Lake in Biñan, concert performers included Ate Gay, Boobsie Wonderland, Henry G, AJ, and a couple of their friends so folks were laughing throughout the day, it was so much fun! They also had PPOP group AZTER perform their best hits, while keeping it respectful and meaningful on some parts, and hope the families create things like these to prepare for their loved ones in the future. It is worth it to celebrate with them, to create memories while they are still here. They deserve to be loved and treasured too.
