MOIRA Talks About Weight Loss Journey at BonaSlim Event

Tuesday, March 19, 2024





Looks like Moira is on a roll as she now is the face of BonaVita Philippines' "BonaSlim", the newest 15 in 1 coffee mix released in the Philippines. 

The singer, songwriter and hit maker has been busy preparing for a concert tour this coming summer (Malaysia, US and Canada) so getting in shape is one of her priorities. BonaSlim has L-Carnetine + Garcinia Cambogia and uses Stevia as sweetener. This is recommended for adults only and not for lactating, pregnant and children. It also is in mocha flavor which makes it smell so good in the morning (when you are having your first cup).



In the event, the Cerezo Family, BonaVita executives, and Cornerstone were all in attendance. BonaVita Philippines CEO Jethro Cerezo says "This is a milestone for our company, as she believes in our brand and our family. We started this just to improve the health of consumers. We are now able to introduce to you BonaSlim 15 in 1 Coffee, our proudest formulation yet. It targets the need of your weight loss goals, all of us worked hard to being you products you deserve. We want to help and inspire!"

CFO Genesis Cerezo and Jhederlly Masiclat says "We are happy to present you this new product, in our commitment to guide you in your weightloss and boost your energy and confidence, we introduce to you BonaSlim 15 in 1 coffee. In it we got Mangosteen, L-Carnitine, Garcinia Cambogia, Inulin, Senna Leaves, Stevia, Moringa, Barley, Ganoderma, Psyllium Husk, Turmeric Powder , Guyabano, and no artificial additives or preservatives. Looking good starts with feeling good. It's when you radiate confidence, and we want you to achieve your goals healthier and happier. We believe in a holistic approach, we need to religiously take care of ourselves and use this for your body goals. This is BonaSlim 15 in 1 coffee!"

"When I started losing weight, it haopened when I stopped trying. I was vegan, keto, done intermittent, tried everything, even became bolemic and worsened my situation. But when I stopped putting pressure on my self and just letting myself be, that's when I didn't stress about it and gradually lost the weight. I think it is self love, that matters more. I also think you have to know you are beautiful even before you go to your goal weight. That's where real change happens, it wasn't quick and BonaSlim they knew what I was talking about, it was gradual change they also wanted to promote. It was something I could do. Don't be to hard on yourself, choose yourself because it's not a bad thing."

Now head on to stores, online shops as they are all available in Shopee, Lazada and their social channels.

(COMPLETE) Winners of the Puregold Cinepanalo Film Festival



A few days ago, the awards night for Puregold Cinepanalo Film Festival happened at the Cinema 5 of Gateway Mall at Araneta City in Quezon City. I've only been able to watch a few short films, 2 full lenght films, but saw how they all deserve the accolades mounting this all.

The competition is tough with the 6 full length films, 25 student short films, I was so excited to be seated with them during that evening... and even asked my seatmates about their bets. They were right!


Here are your winners!

Congrats VJ Mendoza for doing this song, he mentioned the one who composed it passed. Sad, but worthy to win!






























Initially, these were all supposed to be shown at Gateway Cineplex 18 from March 15 to 19, but we got word from Festival Director Chris Cahilig that it will be now until March 26 due to the resounding success of the films and clamor for more cinemas for it. If you haven't watched the entries, go take your friends, your family, and see it til that date. I like "A Lab Story", "Under a Piaya Moon", "Pushcart Tales" and the shorts that were seen in the festival. But you have the power to see whatever you wish in cinemas, go use a whole day for it because it can take a while to finish watching them all.

Congratulations Direk Chris Cahilig, to everyone at Puregold for making this happen. I deem this an excellent platform for unheard actors to shine. I also felt this would be a good place for people to see artistry with the different materials. It's also a time for story tellers to whip out their best work, and the chance to see it on the big screen is priceless. Puregold just did that for you, again, congratulations to the men and women who made this happen!

Embrace Organization for Differently Abled Inc. Holds 7th Year Celebrations

Monday, March 18, 2024





If you've gone to an Embrace Cafe and had a cuppa joe, you already are helping a lot of people. We learned about this today as Embrace Organization for Differently Abled Inc. is holding a 3 day event at the EVM Convention Center in Central Avenue, Quezon City. This is part of their efforts to celebrate their 7th year anniversary, an important milestone in the organization's aim to help in the plight of our differently abled brothers and sisters, so they too could lead normal lives. Aside from fun booths, they held workshops (facilitated by Quezon City) so they could get training certificates they could use as extra merits when they apply for jobs in different companies. Parents, actual persons with "THISabilities" also showcased their different businesses, products that have individual stories of triumph no matter what condition they are in.




Embrace Chairperson Ms. True Santos-Matias says "We at Embrace always had a vision of a caring world for them. With the help of God, we continue to share different projects and help people especially those who are differently abled. Thank you for being here this morning as we all take part in bringing awareness for this cause in hopes to inspire others to do the same."

There will also be an exhibition for the works of PWD's so they could showcase their work and some sign language training sessions for those who would want to learn about it courtesy of the Christian Society for the Deaf. The Quezon City local government also had a booth for those who would want to apply for ID's, as it's very important for identification on discounts for medicines and services. 




Present during the occasion was leaders from the Church of Christ, NET25 broadcasters Ali Sotto, Love Añover, Tonipet Gaba, and their members.


I went out having a sense of happiness that there are efforts to help our differently abled brethren so they can live, put food on the table and help their families. Go patronize their businesses as all proceeds go to the various differently abled persons they employ, and their families across the country!

A LAB STORY: Love Stricken and Socially Aware at Puregold Cinepanalo Festival

Friday, March 15, 2024


A LAB STORY PUREGOLD

Took the afternoon screenings at Gateway Mall for the Puregold Cinepanalo Film Festival. The entry "A Lab Story" is about two students who find themselves in interesting situations because they had to pair up for an agricultural quiz bee. It definitely felt like a coming of age film. 

The teens might have been in different spectrums, one smart, the other not quite, and all they wanted to become was not to end up at last place.

It's fun, very endearing, and you will root for the two lead stars. You're going to also like Donna Cariaga in her element, the funny and quirky moments with her and Kurt screams part 2, we wouldn't be surprised if it had one.

They also had several issues addressed such as the plight of indigenous people, their home, their land and how some of them get abused. It's also about skills, knowing themselves and reaching for their dreams. So really, there's a lot to devour on such a simple looking plot.

This is just one of the entries in the Puregold Cinepanalo Film Festival, there will be several more of these full length films and short film entries that will be shown at Gateway Mall cinemas this weekend. Because as far as quality goes, this looks promising.
