Looks like blessings still come pouring in for artist, gamer and cosplay princess Myrtle Sarroza. In ceremonies at Fisher Mall in Quezon City this afternoon, she signed a new endorsement with popular apparel brand Guitar.
Executives from Guitar apparel and Sparkle artist management were also there to witness the event. Myrtle will be part of a brand campaign where she'll be seen wearing inner wear, sandos, and other products from Guitar. This coincided with a short program that they held today at the upper ground activity center appearance which she did for RetroCon. It was well attended by anime fanatics, gaming enthusiasts and cosplayers too so it was pretty busy because they took lots of pictures with patrons of the mall.
Myrtle by the way is also appearing in a new project which they are shooting now but will probably come out next year. She also talked more about her gaming gigs where she got to play and represent the country, something she wanted to do for a long time. It was for COD Warzone and told the press she's ready to do more of that soon. When asked about her relationship status, Myrtle gamely said that she'd rather have more time for her passion than be in relationships right now. She also plans to spend more time with the family because of the holidays and take a well deserved break this season.
If you want to know more about Guitar and her campaign, make sure you follow their social channels so once they come out with things she'll wear, you get updated first!
5 of some of the hunkiest guys in the Philippines in one film? Yes, it is possible! This comes as CALL ME PAPI will be shown on theaters this coming December 7th, nationwide! This stars Enzo Pineda, Lharby Policarpio, Royce Cabrera, Aaron Concepcion and Albie Casiño. It's a full blown barkada film, so if you've got friends that stick with you through thick or thin, you'll definitely find yourself in one of the characters.
A Filipino Barkada film, CALL ME PAPI stars Enzo Pineda, Lharby Policarpio, Royce Cabrera, Aaron Concepcion and Albie Casiño
Times are tough for films this year but they're raring to have this shown during the holidays. This is the opportune time to do it because this film was delayed because of pandemic restrictions, it took them over 3 years to finish it. It's a tale of 5 men from different walks of life, all of whom would be testing the bonds of friendship, and camaraderie. Have you ever heard of "friends being family you choose?", that's exactly how this one goes, but there's more to their individual struggles that will be told in the film.
Check out what happened during the press conference last week:
Seasoned actresses Katya Santos and Irma Adlawan will also be joining the cast. Anya Aguilar will play the girlfriend of Albie Casino in the film.
Enzo says "My character is a little artsy, but always end up with the wrong women, like some who are married, and struggled finding out what relationships are and if it does make him happy."
Royce says "I play Lito in the film. He is a hard worker, a call center agent, and does every odd job imaginable just to put food on the table."
Albie adds "I play the character of Bret, who's a waiter, a man who's going through life and survive daily struggles. His life is going to change once that he finds out that he has to take care of a baby, who's mom left behind."
Lharby plays Mario, a call center agent, who's a man's man. He takes care more of his peers rather than just himself. He doesn't go out much, and just stays at home after work. He also contributes for the expenses of his family, doing his best to help his papis all the time.
Aaron Concepcion plays Roy, a farmer, someone from the province who wanted to just help his family. There will be a twist on his professional career, which will affect not just his friends, but his family too.
Life may have been very complicated for these 5 guys, but it would be nice to see how the dynamics of their friendship would solve their problems, how one would be able to help one another or break down in shambles when you need them most. I hope this gives a glimpse on the lives of Filipino guys that are not toxic, and puts a lot of importance on their peers, to hopefully help each other out in times of trouble.
This will really be a huge challenge for production, and the cast to bring this message across. I pray they get noticed for awards as this has got a solid concept and story. This is also dedicated to the film's producer Shandii Bacolod who passed away a day before the shoot was done. This is also directed by Dr. Alvin Yapan. She made remarkable work especially for this project because she believed in the material, the cast too. Again, if you would like to see a feel good Filipino barkada film, give CALL ME PAPI a visit on theaters this coming December 7th. Bring your friends!
My favorite Thea Tolentino, Lianne Valentin, Liezel Lopez are now signed for stardom!
Several artists renewed ties and new ones joined Signed for Stardom, the annual Sparkle signing event for artists joining GMA. This includes Kylie Padilla, Kyline Alcantara, Ysabel Ortega, Shayne Sava, Derrick Monasterio, David Licauco, Angel Guardian, Thea Tolentino, Lianne Valentin, Liezel Lopez, Sophie Albert, Thia Thomalla, Sherilyn Reyes, Rodjun Cruz, EA Guzman, Juancho Trivino, Anjo Damiles, Luke Conde, Dustin Yu, Skye Chua, Kim Perez, Haley Dizon, Marco Masa, Princess Aliyah, Hailey Mendes, Jade Tecson, Jayson Gainza, Bianca Manalo. The event happened in the morning and we got there a bit in the late afternoon so a few of the stars left for work (and their locked in tapings) but we were pretty blessed to have been able to personally talk to some of them.
Then we also got to talk to Thea Astley and Kim Perez. Thea indulged us with her experience singing in Sunday shows whilst Kim talked more about what he could put on the table when acting challenges come soon.
Ysabel Ortega had us in on a lot of the things she's doing for Voltes V and the Miguel Tanfelix loveteam. Shayne Sava had a lot of exciting shows which she's enjoyed over the years, hence this particular signing with Sparkle was quite a welcome development for her.
As for new artists, there wasn't any shortage of that. Here's who to look forward to in the next few years of GMA shows!
This is just the start and I'm liking the way they talked to us during this short talk. They're quite promising and I hope it'll be a short amount of time to wait for them to do GMA dramas, fantasy or comedy shows in the channel. Imagine the amount of talent that GMA now has in their stable. I hope this starts pouring opportunities for them very soon.
It was fun to see the brightest stars of GMA at the SM Skydome a few days ago. Artists like the recently viral Andrea Torres, leading man Jeric Gonzales, Voltes V Legacy's Ysabel Ortega, Miguel Tanfelix, Radson Flores, Matt Lozano, Raphael Landicho, Martin del Rosario, the First Lady Sanya Lopez, businessman and actor Ken Chan all gave the fans a show they would never forget. It was a gathering of sorts, and they wanted the fans to experience how it is to be with their favorite celebrities.
Aside from that, this was also a venue to introduce new generation of Kapuso stars and the teens who just got signed by the network did not disappoint. Much of the hosting, dancing and singing numbers had them showcase what they have in store for future GMA shows. I love the Sparkada and the new ones who introduced themselves on stage, some extremely good looking ones too.

Fans won prizes through raffles and games that Kapuso stars also participated in. This event really made the celebrities accessible to their fans, as a way of thanks for all the years they supported their idols.
Make sure you follow Sparkle's social channels to get to know more of the new Kapuso stars and their new upcoming shows on the same network.
It's been a while since we've seen Ms. Marites Allen in person. She's been to the UK and different parts of the globe to share her knowledge in Feng Shui and this time, she's doing quite differently. Donned in a Rabbit Cape ensemble made by Dexter Alazas (inspired by Marites Allen's Golden Zodiac), she shared how we all could take advantage of the Year of the Water Rabbit this 2023.
What's
up with the coming Year of the Water Rabbit this 2023?
Ms. Marites Allen chimes in on what you could look forward to if you're
an avid fan of Feng Shui. 2020 was a year of new beginnings. 2021 was
the year of vaccinations, 2022 was a year of breakups while this year is
about "Letting Go!"
The center is love star, so if you want to let go, this is the opportune
time for that.
She says "In
the last 2 and a half years, I was approached by the largest publisher
in the UK and they are publishing my Chinese Astrology book this
January, you can pre order now on AMAZON UK. This will also be released
in the US and the Philippines later in the year. This is the first time I
had to be away from my children because they are growing, I have my
planner. If you are born in the year of the horse, you will be rich this
year. The best seller Almanac with lucky days and months is now also
bundled with books with special mantras, this was very helpful for me.
This include a lot of secrets you can take advantage of for the year of the Water Rabbit."
She adds "The rabbit needs to be careful because of the illness star. In 2023, if you are boar, dog, a father, you will be a little challenged this year until 2024. The next 20 years will be more for women. We cannot just rely on Feng Shui, we need to work hard to make sure things are good for us. We will be an online event on December 17 and 18. Our book is going to be available on Amazon UK. We will also enter the Metaverse, a first of its kind."
Feng Shui Enters Metaverse
If you avidly follow what she's doing every year, you know there's bound to be something new up her sleeves. She has officially been the first to officially do this in the country. She's on her infancy in entering the Metaverse. During this year's annual Feng Shui forecast (which will happen on December 17 and 18), she will be launching her Golden Zodiac books (all 12 of them) which will contain a new AR function wherein you can proudly see your own symbol just by scanning the QR code on the book itself.
You can purchase the books bundled together with the Planner and Almanac which is already available at https://frigga.com.ph/collections/books. They will also be rolling out Golden Zodiac through KALOSCOPE to begin issuing NFT's (which also has value) in order to get perks, access to exclusive events, discounts on the Frigga shop and discounts on private consultations with the Queen of Feng Shui Marites Allen.
The 2023 Feng Shui Planner, Personal Horoscope Books
If you want to have a detailed guide for the on where to place things in your house, the Feng Shui Planner is essential. The Personal Horoscope Books will also be good for reading without the need to pass through other signs as this is now in separate books. You can give this to friends, family who might need the same love and help that Ms. Marites Allen provides.
You can now purchase these items at the Frigga.co.uk or Frigga.com.ph sites or through Lazada. Tickets to her event on December can also be bought through the same websites mentioned. You can also call them via 09209509390 if you have inquiries about the event. You can also follow her social media channels as updates about this and the guides are posted there on a regular basis. This is just the glimpse of what's to come with Ms. Marites Allen, proving she's not just the Queen of Feng Shui, but of innovations as well.
I haven't, but from the looks of it, it makes total sense.
Back in the day, the parenting style in the Philippines was perceived to be very strict, ultra conservative, very matriarchal, and include flying slippers and hangers every once in a while.
Not everyone knew that parenting actually can work even if we deal with kids and do parenting in a very calm demeanor. It's properly called gentle parenting. It involves respect, understanding, empathy and setting healthy boundaries, without taking away individual happiness which is extremely important for kids. The style would make them very confident and independent too.
When a kid does something bad, don't attack the person, but the action. Tell them how you feel, introduce another way to do it and ask them why it would be better. Ease in on why you think why his actions are wrong. It also pays to be a good example. Not only would they inherit your good looks, but your manners. If you are kind, respectful, they'll see how you walk the talk and become an inspiration for them. You'll be a person that they'd aspire to become especially your good traits.
You should also encourage his/her good actions. We're not here to just point out his bad side, we should always notice how good they were at school, how they help doing chores. It's the little things that make up a huge dent on their personality because that's how positive reinforcement works. Aside from that, make the habit of asking and supporting their dreams. Be it a cashier in the restaurant, a construction worker, a truck driver, a pilot or a doctor, this will make a huge difference in the long run as they develop independence and the value of education.
Although education seem to be a bit pricey these days, there's always AIA Philippines' Future Scholar. A product that can get you cash payouts, an assure you that your child's dreams of graduatiing someday would be fulfilled.

This can also be claimed lump sum if anything untoward happens to you.

If you haven't seen it, then it's time you do. This is the new ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED laptop. This is the world's very first foldable ultra compact and light OLED laptop that can fit in 17.3 inch boxes and used in different modes. Absolutely stunning to see in person.
It utilizes it's huge 2560x1920 4:3 ratio foldable OLED touchscreen, Intel Core i7 1250OU processor, 16GB LPDDR5, 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, Intel Iris Xe Graphics loaded with Windows 11 Home OS and Microsoft Office Home and Student 2021 edition. It's pretty packed for something very light and amazing, I could imagine this being used by executives, content creators and just about anyone who is in the marketing field. It transforms the whole length into a screen so those presentations would certainly be covered if you get this new machine.
George
Su the ASUS Philippines Country Manager says "We are excited to be here
with you in person. Over 30 years ago ASUS started in a rooftop of an
apartment and then went into manufacturing motherboards in Taiwan. ASUS
ZENBOOK carries the design philosophy of over 30 years of innovation.
The number 1 OLED laptop brand nationwide, we continue to push
boundaries of creating a laptop. We consistently remodel the gaming
arena and now we are the number 1 gaming brand in the Philippines and
the world."
ASUS Expert Series is part of ASUS Business. This includ e the ZenBook,
VivoBook, and today they introduced a lot of innovations including the
world's first 17 inch OLED Laptop. It's got 6 modes of use and it would
fit your lifestyle.
Kyle Hubo says "It is innovative, has Mobility and is setting new industry standards as the first OLED display that has got HDR OLED giving you blur free photos, videos, best in class colors, 70 percent less blue light , extreme contrast plus a quad speaker system. It is practical and reliable. You can use it on laptop mode, portrait mode, landscape mode tablet mode, reader mode, or others. If you want to share ideas, use the kick stand, unfold it for others to see. The 17.3 inch screen would be good especially on extended mode as you can work and watch without closing windows on full screen. The keyboard and touchpad knows when it's attached, so it would be easy to go in and out, switch devices just by pressing Bluetooth buttons on its keyboard. This is also military grade and is built to last. The Core i7, 4K display, and easy to charge via USB-C option will make this one of the most wanted products this year!"
The Glide X cross device screen sharing solution also works on this device. It's free and proprietary, so those photoshoots will certainly be easy for photographers or creative people.
They also showcased the new creator series and told us how it could make our content creation journey easier if you've got a powerful machine. Aside from that, they also announced new promos including a 23,000 worth of products and devices that would come free in every purchase of the ASUS Fold OLED, plus one from Home Credit wherein you can get the device at 0% interest in 12 months payment scheme. Albeit a little pricey, it's understandable because of the new technology we're seeing now. At Php 219,999, it's only going to be sold in the Philippines at 100 units. Things may run out fast so if you're interested, get it from the ASUS official website at asus.com/ph/laptops/for-home/all-series/zenbook-17-fold-oled-ux9702/
The word "Ingat" resonated with so many Filipinos, more so during the pandemic as health suddenly became so much of a priority (for obvious reasons). Biogesic and Unilab recently reminded us that getting sick could actually affect anyone at anytime, and during these times... there should be "Alagang Walang Pinipili". The feeling and act of unconditional care for others has always been their call. Then on this day, they also renewed their ties with the main man, John Lloyd Cruz. When he looks at you and said "Ingat" with those eyes, things get better.
This time he's taking the point across to more Filipinos, together with that signature salute of his, he's going to communicate how it is to be in a state where there's "Alagang Walang Pinipili". He says "It's had not to feel the care and support of the people you work with at Unilab. They always want to know how you are, how you are doing, and ask you what you want to do. Now our connections get even deeper. Especially now on their 50th year!"
Unilab Corporate VP Alexander Panlilio adds "We believe in the care and quality healthcare we provide for every Filipino family. Biogesic has always been synonymous with the "Ingat" tagline which John Lloyd does in our messages. This time we want to strengthen our connections with "Alagang Walang Pinipili" just like what he experienced with us at Unilab."
This is a commitment from Unilab and Biogesic. If you want to know more about their campaign, check out their YouTube channel via youtube.com/c/biogesicph.
Christmas in the Philippines start at "BER" months, which means months that end with BER (September to December). It is dubbed as the longest Christmas celebration in the world and we do often take this time to be with friends, family, and loved ones.

Pets are all part of the family. They bring so much joy which to me is priceless and can never be replaced. Taking care of them is essential, and these days we can never be too complacent as a simple mosquito bite would carry disease, but now there's something that can prevent that.
Pharma company Virbac knows how the Philippines need solutions for animal health. This is why they are bringing in Effitix, a topical solution for canines so they won't get tick or flea infestations. This also could save them from heartworms as it repels mosquitoes which cause these problems too, and can do it in a span of 4 weeks.
Dr. Remil Galay a professor of Veterinary Medicine from the UPLB says "Dogs can be sick by pathogens from tick bites. Based in our studies Ehrlichia Canis is the most common detected in the Philippines. A study published last year include Ricketsia, Lice, we need to keep this off our dogs. There are a lot of methods you can employ, like soaps and shampoos, but that doesn't last after washing. The protection doesn't last long. Fipronil remains effective in killing brown dog ticks. There are new drugs combined with it which gives stronger killing effects, additionally prevent resistance to one drug. It is also shown effective in different kind of ticks."
Dr. Sheila Chavez who is the Technical Assistant Manager for Companion Animals from Virbac Philippines showed how to apply the topical solution to pets. She broke off the top, put the liquid and lathered it onto the skin (not the hair).
Journalist Gretchen Malalad wore the fur Mommy hat during the event and talked about how she took care of her fur babies. She rescue cats and dogs, put some of them for adoption. She also neuter and spays them to prevent animal abandonment. Being a dog lover, she had one of her dogs always play and run with her, though one day, the doggie got too tired. She got him to a vet, but when his blood tests came, he had heartworms. It was a long treatment, took 6-8 months and regular checkup. She used Effitx to also rid him of ticks and lice too. She also tried it on her other dogs and saw it was clearly effective. She wanted to have known about it before her doggie got sick, she's glad Effitix is now in the country.
This also kills them within 24 hours and still work even if they take a bath, shampoo, a dip in a pool and usual activities. They come in pipettes so it's easier to apply on our best friends to keep our cute little doggies safe from harmful parasites. It's only for doggos eight weeks old and above and comes in different sizes since dogs don't come in one size. This is good news for those keeping their pets at home, and you can get them starting December 16 via authorized online pet stores and probably shops and clinics by February next year. You may check pH.virbac.com for more information about the topical solution they offer. You can also follow their social channels @VirbacPH on FB and @virbac_philippines on IG because they update often there.
Effitix costs Php 345 for the 4-10kg size, and for the 10-20kg size costs Php 365. They also have a promo on December giving free brush with shampoo container. (Will be announced on social channels soon) so stay tuned!
Had a wonderful time talking to stars from Cignal/TV5 shows Sing Galing Kids, Sing Galing, Suntok Sa Buwan, Oh My Korona, Kalye Kweens, Now Zending, Reelverse and several other programs from the Kapatid network. They've been doing a showbiz caravan visiting several spots in Mega Manila to bring entertainment and thank everyone who supported their shows. Some of them are already ending, so it's an apt thing to do for those who contributed to their success. We talked to Zendee, Marimar, Ms. K Brosas, Jessy Salvador, Paulo Angeles and Pooh who also had a mall show later that day for the same purpose.
We talked about a lot of things including their experience about being on the show and working with other actors during the locked in taping and the pandemic. It's a pretty neat sight to get to know how they survived some of the most difficult circumstances like when Sing Galing was airing and Zendee had COVID-19. She was adamant to finish her work despite difficulty breathing, I was at awe on how she was able to do that. Here's our interview with her and Marimar that afternoon.
The Showbiz Caravan was pretty well received over at Starmall in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. They were there from November 17 to 19 to the delight of mall goers, shoppers and fans of the shows. They also did a portion where they get to sing with the stars and prizes went to a charity for the benefit of Kids of National Children’s Hospital and to a baby named Aaron who is a 7-year-old patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. That was certainly touching to see.
Ms. K Brosas touched on a topic about Ms. Kris Aquino and how she was able to give her advise about accepting praises, and thanks as a celebrity. That part really made sense, and touching how their friendship has lasted all throughout these years.
Jessy Salvador (Maja Salvador's sister) talked lengthily about their show Oh My Korona which she says had her comedy acting chops tested during the whole show. She was glad Pooh was instrumental in making her better in the genre and hope she'll get to do drama shows in the future. Pooh on the other hand shared his experiences on working with his co-actors and how blessed he was despite the hardships of the pandemic, the lack of work, and how he was still blessed. Listen in!
Then on the other side of the venue, we got to talk to Paulo Angeles. Such a fine gentleman. Good looking, but never thought of himself as a matinee idol material. He often was playing a playful lad, partnered with different love interests, but wants a more dramatic role next time. Here's what we talked about during the press conference:
The finale episodes of Oh My Korona will air on November 26 while the grand finals of Sing Galing Kids and regulars will air on December 3 and 10 respectively. The Suntok Sa Buwan ending on the other hand will air on December 8th, while Kalye Kweens will end on Christmas eve. You can watch it on the date or re-runs if you use the Cignal Play app,. it's actually free so no need to burden yourself watching the shows especially for PH subscribers. Thank you for the opportunity to talk with you all! You've done good.
The epitome of grace, elegance, and being humble, that's exactly what Megan Young is. Of all the encounters I've had with her covering events and showbiz interviews, she's up there with the best and I believe it has been one of the reasons why she won Miss World 2013. It has been one elusive crown that the Philippines has never won and til now, she's hosted the show several times and still connecting with the organization.
Recently in one of her vlogs, she was seen taking a few minutes doing her beauty regimen, a time to take care of herself with a peel off mask, an eye gel patch and facial foam wash from beauty brand Megan. She was adamant how effective it was and told the benefits of each product. Back then, she wasn't an endorser yet and when folks from Lifestrong Marketing Inc., they figured this was the opportune time to make her the brand's endorser.
The executives know she's the perfect representation of Megan Beauty. Megan has always been a champion for women empowerment and making true sense of "beauty with a purpose". If you would like to know more about her and her campaign, head on to Megan Beauty social channels as her endorsement involves various materials like photos and videos specifically made for those who believe they too can achieve the same.
I personally love their masks and now, it's got more meaning with Megan Young on board. Congratulations to Megan and Megan Beauty! It's about time!
It's a sad, but we all have to face the reality that climate change is happening and we are getting the rut of its impact especially those located in coastlines, remote islands, plains, mountains, even cities too.
The weather has not been like what we have experienced in the past, and the existence of Super Typhoons has already broken what we all thought was already strong, not good. These days, it's not just the wind we're scared about. It's also the rain, the rising tides and ultimately, the flooding. We've been paralyzed in one way or another and this cost billions of damages, not just on property, but also lives.
We're so used to managing it, doing temporary band aid measures so it's so nice to hear someone acting on it. Recently. Congressman Arjo Atayde of the 1st District of Quezon City urging the government offices to prioritize the proper management and fast track completion of flood control projects especially in prone areas. This was said in his privilege speech on Tuesday and also proposes a Czar specifically just for that.
He utters "It's but timely to put one in the Executive branch to particularly address and ensure who will be responsible for coordinating with DPWH and MMDA. By putting a "Flooding Czar" NCR's various local government projects will be fast tracked putting priorities where it's due." He also made mention about the Metro Manila Flood Management Project that involves over 36 pumping stations, plus construction of 20 more (by October 2024), but so far only 1 has been acted upon. He also is pushing for funding from DPWH to make further studies in addressing this issue. It would also include the construction of retarding ponds in places like malls, schools, basketball courts, play areas, including the San Juan River.
Arjo also worries about his constituents like in Barangay Mariblo, Barangay Sto. Domingo and Barangay Talayan who already has experienced waist deep floods, to hopefully rid it with a more permanent solution for years to come. He also made samples out of Barangays in Bungad, San Antonio, Katipunan and Damayan who experienced knee deep floods. We are resilient people, but we should never resort to normalizing what we do during natural disasters and calamities. It cost the country 60.07 Billion last year and we should all do our part in making sure nothing bad like this would happen. The "Flood Czar" should take care of that.
Missed this event but nothings gonna stop me from telling you good news about the Whiskey Live Manila event a few weeks ago.
Rémy Martin actually launched their 1738 Accord Royal. It's a really unique cognac heavily rooted in histroy as it has been granted Accord Royal status by King Louis XV in 1738. I must say, I got a taste of in mixes at Honeycomb where they also launched an event, quite surprised how smooth it is, not pungent, just the right amount of fruitiness, oak, spicy and toasted with a bold flavor. It's definitely something that can be done in different ways, and be paired with savory food without spoiling it.
Cointreau Philippines Ed Guzman dubs this as something for the younger market. Whiskey Live Manila has been off for a number of years because of the pandemic, this certainly made it all worth the trip to BGC. Mad props to Rémy Cointreau Philippines Country Brand Lead Myke Soon who hooked us up at the Honeycomb event. That was certainly fun!
If you want to know more about the new Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal, you may visit remymartin.com or their social channels RemyMartinPhilippines on FB, IG. You can order them now at boozy.ph or singlemalt.ph if you want to try them out!
