KIANA V Showcases "Sweet Release" Music Video

The last time I saw Kiana was during the concert of her Dad Gary Valenciano. The prolific singer and songwriter just released the music video for her single "Sweet Release" which now can be seen on different platforms. Another feather to her hat, she worked as Director in this video together with her equally talented brother Gab, and MJ Arda. She also did edit the actual MV, something she prefers to add a personal touch on her work. 

MJ Arda though is no stranger to the business as he also choreographed several sequences with the ATeam. Unquestionably, this looks like a visual feast for the eyes. 

Kiana won Best Female R&B Recording Artist at the PMPC Star Awards, and this "Sweet Release" single won't shortchange those who adore her kind of music. It will be released 9am Manila Time and 6PM PST through Kiana's social channels. 

Certainly, a performer, singer and songwriter of her own credits. Congratulations Kiana!

GAB VALENCIANO Continues to Shine in US

Gab Valenciano surely didn't mind being a person from a very talented clan. It's been years and now, he's not just a son to Dad Gary but a very spirited Dancer/Choreographer who made headlines with his moves in viral video "Super Selfie". No less than Beyonce took notice and got the moves done in her 7/11 video a couple years back. 

Imagine, doing a thing in Florida, then having it be done by one of the greatest artists in the world, where it racked up 6000 million views. This just makes his efforts of finishing recording arts and engineering doubly special right? The move even got him nominated at MTG Video Music Awards for Best Choreography. Unbelievable to be credited in that together with greats Chris Grant and B herself!

Locally, he even did work for several soap operas on home station ABSCBN plus a few awards in the bag for Best Inspirational Song, Best Secular Song, Best Musical Score for several tracks he did on ABSCBN shows and indie film Alagwa which starred Jericho Rosales. He also did several music videos for his Dad, Yassi Pressman, Kai Buizon, and lovely sister Kiana. 

He's talented and a very accomplished motorcycle champ, he also did a few commercials, radio jingles, and recently, the TFC 30 Happy Hour during independence day celebrations in Texas. The man is now residing in the USA and still performs, does a lot of projects to feed his passion. 

Good job Gab!

This premium QD Mini LED 4K TV uses six crystal light emitting chip and has exceptional brightness and fast screen performance. It also has uniform backlight that doesn't irritate your view. The led also is 5x smaller than usual and utilize 5184 local dimming zones so you get very detailed output on display. It has 5000 nits HDR so those once blurry scenes can be seen. It also has super high contrast ratio, black is going to be really black. You can see your videos quite vivid, and doesn't over saturate, as it does lifelike colors by default. With its TCL AiPQ Processor 3.0, it does your videos with clarity, seeing much detail whether you have bright or dark scenes on screen. It also produces realistic colors and does it with wellness, you won't see scenes that are overly bright that would hurt your eyes. The audio is another thing as it is equipped with ONKYO 4.2.2ch that has it at 160 Watts, and Dolby Atmos, it will surely elevate your immersive audio experience which would make your movies really sound good. This has low reflection rate, you wouldn't see glare, and since this is a TITAN, the new 115 inch display would just make you speechless at first glance.

This also has 144Hz VRR refresh rate, and Dolby Vision, a new technology that makes it better for gamers to see details of your favorite titles. It also has an Ultra Slim Design, which means its sleek, you only need a small space for you to use it. Plus, it looks good from every angle... no need for a pricey designer to make a space work. Aside from the 115 inch, they also have this in 98 and 85 inch versions.

This is available in major appliance stores (this one is ABENSON's). Go get one if you need a new TV! No wonder it's the number 1 TV brand in the market!

JOLLIBEE Taps BINI for Cheesy Yumburger

Jollibee got us at the Trinoma Activity Center as they transformed it into Cheesy Yumburger BESTFest to welcome the country's well loved girl group BINI. They are officially endorsers of the cheesiest, beefiest and best tasting Yumburger across the country... the Cheesy Yumburger. If that wasn't enough, they also represent the NEW Double Cheesy Yumburger.

I don't want to just write about it, so I'm sharing the video coverage we did that afternoon!

It was fun, the girls were extremely talented, and the whole place was quite crazy. Would you consume just one Cheesy Yumburger after all these? I don't think so! 

The girls even talked about how they were spending so many nights, right after China, Korea, they ordered right from the airport so when they get home, they just eat a whole burger and Chickenjoy because they miss it. It reminds them of home.

Congratulations ladies! You did good!

PascualLab Takes Sponsored World Vision Kids to #PascualLove Journey!

It looks like the cool people from Pascual Laboratories Inc. are making their days count by partnering with World Vision and the children that they hold as scholars in different educational institutions across the country. Present during the tour and visit were David Riofero the Public Affairs Manager of World Vision Philippines, Pascual Lab's SVP and Cheif Manufacturing Officer Hignio Porte and their executives at the Pascual Lab Bulacan facility.

World Vision also awarded the Pascual Lab team with their Certificate of Appreciation for their efforts with World Vision and their communities. Volunteers (comprising also of Pascual Lab employees) explained the history and innovations that the company has achieved over the years. This happened last June 4, an activity that got both elementary and high school scholars to participate and learn about the company's rich history, in hopes they also learn from it.

The 4 year partnership had surely been able to produce graduates, improve the lives of several kids, teens, so they too would be able to help their family, and community. They also had programs in health and nutrition, education, values formation, religion, child protection, entrepreneurship, disaster preparedness and emergency response fields.

If you want to help just like Pascual Laboratories Inc., visit them at worldvision.org.ph and become one with them in changing the lives of kids here and elsewhere in the world!

This includes Excel ECOPlanet, a cement product that is environmentally safe. They also have Solido for low rise builds. The Optimo on the other hand is for high rise and the Wallright for the ones who needs Masonry Cement.

LEO ALMODAL Does Nature Inspired Show at OKADA

Leo Almodal is no stranger to couture gowns and suits. I've seen several pieces he's put out with some celebrities in events I've been... and covered. This time, it's his grand 65 piece collection that he's showcasing at Okada's Grand Ballroom. Sure enough, he didn't disappoint onlookers with jaw dropping gowns worn by some of Manila's most gorgeous models, beauty queens and celebrities.

If you didn't get to catch the show, as always, KUMAGCOW.COM has it covered. Please, enjoy!

Leo's fashion show was obviously nature inspired, with exquisite couture pieces right from the start. You'll see how he tries to outdo his first creation with another one, equally merging earth, sea and air elements with flowy, fluffy textile adorned with crystals and gems at front and back.

We were also surprised with the participation of the sultry and talented actress Sanya Lopez. Max Collins was also fitting to open the show, I didn't really recognize her until her second outfit because everything looked ethereal, they looked like goddesses walking on the runway.

Aside from them, Arci Munoz, Ara Mina, Herlene Budol, Drag Race PH Winner Captivating Katkat, beauty queens Jamie Herrell, Michelle Gomez, Gazini Ganados, Yllana Marie Aduana, Maureen Montagne, Emma Tiglao, Jennifer Lloyd, Tracy Maureen Perez, Ingrid Sta. Maria, Krishna Marie Gravidez and Ghene Latugat showcased more of the gowns in different parts of the show. Several noted models carried them all so well, we all drooled from start to finish.

 I do agree with the producer when she mentioned that Leo Almodal is a genius. This collection has shown how talented this Filipino designer is, and seeing that this will also be done in other countries (as we speak) will be fitting as he gives only the best in his designs. You should take note of the Blue Sea Slug like gown, the Gold one that opened the show and the Red Rose colored one before the end of the show. Those are standouts, and my personal favorites!

Congratulations on doing this heavenly show Leo! After seeing all these, I'd be honored to wear a suit from you! 

Merck Set to Release Fertility Count Scorecard at ASPIRE Congress

Population has always been at an all time high in the Philippines, and what better place to launch this new initiative by Merck: a Fertility Count Scorecard. It's also the best time to happen because it was all laid out during the ASPIRE Congress.

The matter has affected everything socially and economically but this counts as something that would encourage policy makers to incentivize those who choose to pro create and build communities especially in emerging economies like ours.  

Albeit having a slight reduction in birth rates compared to the past decade, they attribute this dip to fertility preferences and the various programs in population control.

Merck has noted this (our country) as a key market compared to those that are in the Asia Pacific Region. We should realize that the key should be making it sustainable, one that would not inhibit growth and development. Our choices will greatly impact what we need as a society, because as much as we don't admit it, a lot of the developed countries are having problems in workforce and declining birth rates.  

For those who don't know, the ASPIRE congress is a place to exchange information especially for those who have a say in decisions that affect a population. This also includes how to provide healthcare and plans on having a manageable birth rate at the end of the day. They also plan to have discussions about it in the event especially for local attendees and regional ones. We are after all, family friendly, and creating a society would be enabling us to implement great policies, and not just lip service.

For Merck to release this Fertility Count Scorecard, it would be quite valuable in a global perspective especially for business leaders or those who plan ahead. The methodology is also a bit more scientific, backed by data, which hopefully would get implemented well. So if you want to know more, just check out the data they have at fertilitycounts.com.

BARBIE FORTEZA and DAVID LICAUCO Wishes Box Office Success for "THAT KIND OF LOVE"

Looks like the quest of finding love will be easy when you watch this new movie called THAT KIND OF LOVE. This stars well loved pairing Barbie Forteza and David Licauco, popularly known as #BarDa. 

They've been really followed quite intensely during GMA series "Maria Clara at Ibarra", but this is the first time that they are doing a movie, under neophyte Pocket Media Productions Inc. The material was crafted by Ellis Catrina who has made this specifically for them. This is directed by Catherine O. Camarillo, who's first film under the same outfit "Chances are, You and I" was well received by critics for its very compelling story.

 

"That Kind of Love" will be featured  in Japan as a spotlight entry under the Jinseo Arigato International Festival. This will be held in Nagoya, Japan. While the local screening will start on July 10th which is a few weeks from now. They will also be doing a premiere night on July 4th, so make sure you go and support them (especially if you are a BarDa fan). Know that parts of the movie has been shot in South Korea. Both Barbie and David enjoyed doing scenes in Seoul where much of the shoot happened.

Barbie says "There were so many risks done in making this movie. There is pressure, much so because people are just starting to go back to cinemas. But I am confident about our project, our film, because who doesn't want to feel good? to fall in love? This is what we want to offer, and our goal is for you to fall in love with David once you go out of the theater."

David adds "We are pressured, but I know how good the material is. This is also directed by Direk CC. As long as we do our part in promoting the film, I know this will do good in the box office. I can control the things that I can do, so we just have to promote and help the movie."

People have already seen the trailer, and had really good feedback. The Director mentioned how this is not the work of one person, but a lot of people who did their best to make this movie what it is now. It's a quality film, and Barbie wants people to patronize the movie based on its merits, and because it is done excellently. She also hopes that Filipinos start watching Filipino made films first before they venture on watching other films from different countries. Here are parts of the press conference where we asked questions for Barbie, David, Ms. Arlene Mulach, Divine Aucina, Ivan Carapiet and Jef Gaitan who were there that afternoon. .

As of today, word has it that the fan base of both Barbie and David are arranging block screenings in different theaters nationwide. They are also asking Sparkle management for a little lee way in their schedules so they could attend the screenings as they happen.

I felt how happy Ms. Arlene was when she told the story of how kilig she got when she saw Barbie and David portrayed Mila and Adam. Will this perfect guy fall in love with the dating guru? Who knows! Best to watch it in cinemas when it goes out on the 10th!

Power belter Ms. Sheryn Regis and a few acts also graced the show and performed for the audience including the fashion show depicting empowered women in 4 acts.

Here's the whole show on video, please enjoy!

They called it HER (for Ms. Glenda), HEALING (for Ms. Glenda Garcia), ARMOR (for Ms. Lorna Tolentino), and TRANSFORMATION (for Ms. Jamie Rivera). They named it after their personal experiences, the battles they've fought, and the things it represents.

They also made sure we felt how WACOAL has encompassed the matters of race, body type and the importance of how women should always exude confidence. This show didn't just celebrate their anniversary, but WOMEN. WACOAL also isn't stopping there, because they now have a huge sale in their stores, boutiques, and online via their website wacoal.ph.

Here's hoping for another year, more milestones and even more empowered women in the country!

PS. The fashion show and program was also organized by V-Works Events Management. They handled it quite well and did put up a great show. Congratulations on that!

CABRINI Hits Philippine Cinemas Today June 19th

If you are religious, faithful, care about other people, or know an OFW, you definitely should watch this movie called CABRINI. This stars Cristiana Dell'Anna, John Lithgow, David Morse and an ensemble cast of Italian-Americans, because this is mainly, a story about them.

Cristiana plays the role of Francesca Cabrini, a woman who after landing in New York's shores, saw the shocking plight of immigrants, their children, and the condition they live in. The story is TRAGIC right from the moment she stepped foot in Five Points, a place where she saw the orphaned children, the abused women, the people who live through unbelievable means. She was frantic, and wanted to do something about it. 

Cabrini was also with other nuns, whom all worked from sun up to sun down preparing what's supposed to be an orphanage so they could house the kids, take them away from the streets and burrows, the sewers of the same city. They began feeding them, cleaning them up. They did sew a lot of clothes, they looked quite nice in dresses and suits which the nuns personally had woven, and sewn together. Though this was the time they began noticing, they needed funds in order to serve a lot of children (bambinis).

But just like the Philippines, the politicians had a different view. They felt there should be no funds, and they should never be seen as part of the city. It was disheartening to see how when Chrisitana was making headway together with the nuns and community, they began sabotaging, do unnecessary things to stop them from flourishing on American soil. It felt like when they already had a roof on their head, they begin throwing a ton of bricks on top, or burn them to the ground because they didn't like what they were seeing.

She started to device a way to put the spotlight on those who need help specifically the immigrants, Italians, and children. After getting displaced, lack of funds, she began believing she could do more for the voiceless, those who are quarantined and in the slums, the ones with dignity and still have the chance to live. She does ALL these while suffering from an incurable disease (back then). A woman who in spite of adversities, used art, a second language, her faith and love in order to make sure the women, children and people she serve gets adequate medical care, nourishment, and dignity they deserve.

Watch this trailer to get a grasp of the story

Her story based on real events is so inspiring. The dark treatment/color grading for this masterpiece by Director Alejandro Monteverde was apt for the mood they wanted to exude. Its excellent, and warrants you to definitely see and hear her story, on how this once sickly but feisty lady from Italy became the first American saint, and patron of immigrants.

It shows in the Philippines starting today, June 19 in theaters nationwide!

You Get MORE with NVIDIA on these Back to School Promos

It's back to school season and that only means one thing, you need a new laptop and NVIDIA just showcased some of the units that have better computing and graphics because they have it inside.

The GEFORCE RTX GPU's certainly has impressed a lot of consumers with its capability to service those who are in content creation, gaming, and even the usual office or school work. Videos won't look archaic or digitized and can harness AI via its Tensor Cores which are not available on ordinary laptops. I like the GEFORCE RTX 4090 which they showcased during the event, and used to convert 1080p videos into 4K HDR resolution with no hitches.

Recently, NVIDIA also launched Project G Assist which they revealed at COMPUTEX 2024. It's basically an RTX powered AI that you can use to enhance the utilization of games and apps while they are running. You now don't have to use walkthroughs for the game you are excited about because if you use it in game, it answers your queries and gives you more context of what is happening in game. Imagine the things you can do with it when you are playing RPG's and story form games because it'll be easier to finish tasks, and give you text or speech answers instantly.

NVIDIA Consumer Lead Jerome Matti says "Today, we are excited to share new tech from our partners Acer, ASUS, Lenovo, PC Express, Silicon Valley and more."

Senior Tech Manager from NVIDIA John Gillooly added "ATX AI PC's have come a long way. It's something that we have been talking about for years. It's both cool and scary, but the technology is here. AI for Gaming in 2018, AI for Creators in 2019, AI for Broadcast and Video Conferencing in 2020, AI for Video in 2023 and AI FOR productivity this 2024. NVIDIA Studio is a program for content creators, and it has been really successful and we didn't realize that it was going to be big. We are now faster and have better quality, a night and day comparison than what we were able to do before. From DLSS that gets framerates higher and better quality, faster AI image generation in graphics software on RTX AI Apps, the number 1 apps now have RTX acceleration in all of them. This places GEFORCE RTX at the head of the pack compared to Radeons in the market."

Chat RTX is a local chatbot tech demo with the TensorRT-LLM that also supports Voice and Image files. In Computex 2024, they also showcased NVIDIA ACE Path that makes lifelike Game Characters, something powerful that developers can use. G Assist on the other hand can be used in game, it scans, give you advise on system optimization and change settings for better performance. RTX Remix is a tool for game models, it allows you to enhance textures, assets than the usual low res texture you get on games. NVIDIA App Beta is now available as a software package in new laptops released by different manufacturers. If you are looking for a laptop that can do this and more, make sure it's equipped with an NVIDIA in it.

The NVIDIA app might be in Beta, the second edition was released a few weeks ago and will only publish officially when they're happy with it.

PC Express VP for Sales and Marketing Jesse Tan shared "We have a big promo for best I class laptops, different NVIDIA based laptops from Acer, Lenovo, HP, Gigabyte, MSI, with the latest NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX hardware and free stuff plus installment upto 36 months. They also have brand promos with free GC's, game controllers,  printers, monitors, (depends on the model and brand). From today til June 30, we'll be giving away an XBOX controller for every purchase of units with the RTX4060 as part of the promo."

Silicon Valley's Archie Buenaventura says "We have exclusive bundles with MS Office Home and Student, ASUS TUF backpack, 3000 gc sm voucher, MSI Mouse, Mousepad, Essential Backpack and have this on Home Credit installments. Some will have higher GC amounts especially with the MSI Cyborg 15 and Predator Helios, just check our Silicon Valley stores to know more about it."

That's a lot, so make sure you've got that NVIDIA on your laptop and PC's!
