ANDREA BRILLANTES Does "Fire and Flowers" for TANDUAY CALENDAR 2026

After her surprising transfer to MQuest Artist Agency and official signing a couple days ago, your favorite Andrea Brillantes is now your 2026 Tanduay Calendar Girl. She is 22, the youngest to have been able to get this spot and at the event... she represented herself with Fire and Flowers. She's feisty, tough, experienced in life but still gorgeous, delicate and beautiful as a flower. She wore 2 outfits during this bit where at first she performed a burlesque number with the premier dance group G-Force ala Dita Von Teese (boning and corseted). 

In a way, Andrea represents a generation where one is exuding confidence, a way to have been able to get out of her shell and become the woman she always wanted to be.

Her second outfit was even more daring as it gripped much of her body in lace, more revealing sections and red colors. There is also prestige that comes with being a Tanduay calendar girl as numerous stars have donned this role like Heart Evangelista, Jessy Mendiola, beauty queen Kylie Verzosa, Bea Alonzo, Ellen Adarna, Ivana Alawi, Julia Barretto, and last year's Kim Chiu.

Executives from Tanduay certainly chose her for her qualities, her popularity and looks. But Andrea is even more than that, and I think that makes her a perfect fit for Tanduay's calendar. Congratulations Blythe!

Limitless Star Julie Anne San Jose is Your 2025 Ginebra Calendar Girl

 

Change is good, and this goes the same with your Limitless Star Julie Anne San Jose. She's the newest Ginebra Calendar Girl set for 2025. She joins a number of illustrious women who have graced the calendar which started 34 years ago, a tradition for the well loved brand. Julie has never done something like this, and she wanted to show a different side. She did looked quite confident and braver donning several couture pieces meant to represent the various drinks that the company carries.

She also didn't just appear and say hi, she came out with things blazing, putting in apt song and dance numbers, we all felt like it was a full blown concert after every reveal. In my years of covering stuff like this, I've never seen something like this before. She was also given her own bottle with JULIE ANNE on the label, it was only being given during the event to commemorate it. She was very happy about the calendars and how it turned out, she was just so relieved she could tell people about it now since they've been working on it since the beginning of the year and had to be mum about its existence, so they could have a grand reveal!

Check out this video we have of Julie Anne San Jose and the event. She was absolutely gorgeous!

I love Julie Anne San Jose, and I feel this was the best time to put out photos of her prime. Wouldn't you agree?!

If you want to have one, just check out their social channels for mechanics.

HEAVEN PERALEJO is Your Ginebra Calendar Girl for 2024

The much awaited reveal of the Ginebra Calendar Girl this year was quite epic. To say the least, it's quite different than the previous ones because as you can see on the output, they have thought of a theme. The Philippines is composed of 7,641 islands, each celebrating different town fiestas. It's part of culture, that even with diverse number of languages in every region, we still manage to put food on the table and celebrate good times. It's some sort of thanksgiving, and so the layouts for Heaven Peralejo would want to exude that, and of course, still look gorgeous in it.

Ginebra also knows how much their brand is part of every Filipino celebration. Much festivities have men and women glued to seats, taking the ceremonial toast, and drink up to thank for a bountiful harvest, for weathering disasters, or just plainly giving homage to their patron that differs every town too.

Heaven did the Baguio Panagbenga Festival, the Giant Lantern Festival, Higantes from Angono, Pintados Festival from Leyte, the Kadayawan Festival in Davao too.My personal favorite is my province's very own Masskara Festival which depicts putting a smile on the faces after famine struck the province of Negros years past.

Here's what we shot when the event happened at the Westin in Manila.

The Ginebra Calendar Girl tradition will surely continue, putting in some of the most gorgeous women in the land in it. GSMI will make sure of it. Congratulations on this feat Heaven, and thank you for being so nice off stage after the show.
