TABERNA GROUP OF COMPANIES Hold Open House at Metro Tent Pasig

Success in business was something the Taberna Group of Companies was familiar with, but it didn't come overnight for the lovely couple. Anthony and Rossel Taberna experienced hardships just like ordinary folks and doing business was initially just a fallback for them (as he was still a journalist and doing this business on the side with his wife). Learning the ropes, failing a few didn't stop them from adapting, innovating and taking chances. Today, Today, they have 4 brands under their belt and over 250 people helping them make their dreams come true.

They realized it only takes ONE STEP, which they named this event after. This is the business expo for TGC, an Open House so they could teach entrepreneurs to invest and become partners with the TGC group. Mrs. T and Anthony Taberna went up on stage and said "Our warmest welcome to you all. We call people in our community our teammates. When we planned the TGC expo, we were nervous but thank you so much for seeing you here, your presence is treasured. We welcome you our VVIP's, and time has really gone fast. In the past, we treated this as fall back, but I figured we can't be in VMX (they kid), we do this with Christian values and we have gone through numerous struggles. When Mrs. T handled all of these, it became all smooth. I was the one struggling, now we have integrity, a system that works and trust from our people. We are partners and hard work has brought us here. What we can build together takes one decision, one step, for us to become business partners. Let's take this step together."

 

Mrs. Rosell Taberna introduced their guest Ma. Cristina Roque of the DTI and she congratulated them about the nature of their business. She assured them that the government will help wherever they can as a Philippine based brand and one that has lots of potential. It has the capacity to grow not just locally, but internationally. She also mentioned how they build businesses and provide jobs for a lot of people. They can also mentor others to succeed in the industry and she encouraged them to drive others to also do the same with their food businesses, management and entertainment.

 

Mrs. Taberna added "We have a lot of commissaries, kitchens which we plan to operate on our new building in Tandang Sora. Hopefully next year we get to launch our new building, this took us decades of hardships, nitty gritty work. We also have some commissaries in Nueva Ecija and 2 in Quezon City that are operating now. That's a lot to be thankful for! It means we are capable now to expand!" 

 

Here's our interview with them that afternoon:

 

 

Now you can access their 4 brands and venture into business too. Ka Tunying's is the popular Filipino restaurant and has packages as low as Php 25,000.

LAMELEX Introduces "Barrier First" Skincare to PH Market

When you look at yourself at the mirror, what do you want to see? Brighter, smoother, supple skin, done with skincare that is not complicated... just healthy and comforting to do. These days, it's not just about having that glow, it has to recover after exposing it to the ravages of time, the sun and just about what a day contains, pollution and all.

Prepping you for recovery is where Korean skincare pro Lamelin produced LAMELEX. It was launched this October during the PACCD convention, their 23rd convention to date. This was done in front of 300 dermatology professionals and physicians, including Dr. Finesse Angelica Evangelista. She discussed the concept of skin barrier health and the various ways we treat our skin. This includes lasers, chemical peels, microneedles, which has been a staple in clinics and aesthetic centers. But before it all, she tells how taking care of the skin is sort of a good preparation. Your skin should utilize it's own protective barrier to aid in recovery. They talked more about multi Lamellar Vesicle tech so you get hydration and protection you need before anything happens in procedures.

Some of their products include Comfort Bubble Cleansers, Tripple Barrier Cream, PDRN Cream, Derma Care recovery Cream, and Multilamella Cream. Using it and having it part of a routine is key. Physicians should help you with it. LAMELEX wants you to become ready to recover through science, and the manner of following protocols. 

Talk about it with your medical professional. Skincare is essential, and you're surely not an exception.

VXON Does P-POP: Beyond the Stage This November

We just got to experience P-POP: Beyond the Stage of VXON this afternoon at the Gateway 2 Mall in Quezon City. It's an event produced by L-Squared Productions Inc. where you can watch, feel and connect with your favorite Monsters of PPOP, especially if you are part of Vixies. 

They'll be doing it on November 14, at 1PM, 4PM and 7PM. You get to watch VXON and their exclusive content, live performances, behind the scene videos and hi-bye sessions with the good looking guys through these documentaries made for Vixies and the public.

It's a new way to experience things live. VXON (Sam, Patrick, Franz, C13 and Vince) told us how they're excited to see the small details leading to their performance on stage. They hope people would appreciate their journey especially their old photos, videos, and the lore of being in the group for the first time. 

During the press preview, they talked about initially only having one song, and rushed to do covers because they didn't have anything to perform especially when they started doing gigs here and outside the country. They also performed in the Middle East, and laughed a bit when they saw photos when they were still experimenting with their looks. Some of them also struggled because they didn't know how to dance, but now they do! 

They also changed their hair color, and style, all for the love of boy group VXON. They also talked about their experience in the US when they went there with other Cornerstone artists like KZ, Piolo Pascual, Sam Milby, Kyla, Zephanie, Kyle Echarri, Ynigo Pascual, Yeng Constantino, Catriona Gray, and John Pratts. The stories were very personal, especially those when they were in trainee days and haven't gotten official word that they'd be VXON later on. 

So if you are a legitimate Vixie or starting to be one, go head on to Gateway Mall 2 Cinema 11 to share moments with them, do live performances and talk to them (some not all). This event is special for them because, they're quite thankful that they could share things that have not been public yet. 5 years of VXON didn't happen overnight and they want you to be there. Remember, the documentary caters to people that have dreams, and they hope their story would also inspire other budding artists that also plan to become idols in the future.

They'll be participating in Ticket Selling (of 1,5K each) which will be shared on their social channels, make sure you follow them there. They also shared the Japanese version of their hit single KNT (Kimi No Tokubetsu) to come out very soon, so they'll be starting their Japan careers too. This is produced by L Squared Productions PH, go experience it if you're a fan! 

MARITES ALLEN Shows Essentials for the YEAR OF THE FIRE SHEEP 2027

The Year of the Fire Sheep of 2027 has a lot in store for us. Ms. Marites Allen has signified how the Year of the Fire Horse was going to be a mix. For her, 2026 was a year of movement (Year of the Fire Horse) and this year, is making that movement meaningful. 

The last time the Year of the Fire Sheep happened was in 1967. It was when ASEAN was created. It's also a cycle which means this 2027, it's a time to reap the benefits. 

She also mentions how the Ox is going to be the enemy of the Sheep, but remember, that this is not your whole destiny. This is the time to also collaborate. She pointed out how one should build but not rush, turn ideas into lasting results, have visibility and credibility, relationships too need clarity. 

This year also must be about businesses concerned with metal, like shipping, logistics, use of AI responsibly. 

She also warns companies not to use much energy. It is also a time to change and adapt. White, gold and silver remains the lucky color. Lucky signs include Boars. For you, the agony is over and this should be a breakthrough year. This also includes Horses, the wealthy Dragons. Snakes and Dogs. You have to declare victory and success. 2027 is where Sheep and Rabbits have growth opportunities. On the other hand, Rats should be very cautious. If you know your year is bad, this means you have to make a change. Roosters, Tigers will have challenges especially if you are hot headed. She reminds the Ox should expect challenges, so remember to change your ways. 

Here's the whole press conference on video:

This is a good year for celebrities like Kris Aquino, but she has to take care of her health. Most of the celebrities listed on her presentation had mixed fortunes. This is the year also for fixing your home, or doing renovations. She also took time to explain the Destara app (available on Google Play). Your charts and see your luck pillars there. She also had us preview the Destara voice which is AI that you can talk to which may be done in future updates of the app.

Ms Marites Allen also gave advice to have the "Attitude of Gratitude" this Year of the Fire Sheep. She also told us that most of the questions asked in her social media channels and consultations were about health and relationships. She says everyone should prepare to "conserve energy". Media, infrastructure, Banking and Security, Healthcare and Education, Logistics are good businesses to be in this 2027, so make sure you take note of that. You can learn more by getting the Feng Shui Planner which will be released soon. 

Meanwhile, here's some scenes from the press conference yesterday. Please enjoy!

I also love the things she shared with regards to the jewelry, new bags, scarves, accessories available with Frigga (especially the Luck keychains!), her auspicious fashion brand and also some items from INA Jewelry who displayed their lovely gems like sapphires, rubies, and natural diamonds that afternoon. 

These are just some of the essentials, I can't wait for the events she plans to do in the next few months especially the ones before February when the Lunar New Year starts. Make sure you follow their social channels or download Destara because they've been doing a lot of their activities there. Thank you so much Ms. Marites for taking care of us whenever we spend a few hours with you!
