Aside from Ms. Korina Sanchez-Roxas, she will also be together with former CNN Philippines anchor Ms. Pinky Webb plus Marie Lozano and Maiki Oreta.

The Crazy World of Money and Relationships on TikTalks

If you haven't made it a habit, make sure you watch the latest episode of TikTalks. It's shown on TV5, One PH and also on Radyo 5 92.3 News FM every Sunday at 10:30PM. It's where Ms. Korina Sanchez Roxas, Ms. Pat P. Daza, G3 San Diego, Kakai Bautista and Alex Calleja sit down and talk about things you probably are afraid to ask especially in the matters of money and finance in the family.

Serious stuff, strong opinions, spicy replies and lots of humor will make this an entirely interesting show, especially when they encourage conversations that are greatly uncomfortable, a little taboo in some instances. They've been out mostly because of the FIBA World Cup coverages in the past few weeks and this comeback will be something that'll surely ruffle feathers.

Ms. Korina says "We talk about it openly, especially those that are not talked about in a no-holds barred way. In the show, we'll talk about pre-nup agreements, happiness vs money, living with others, something you might not ordinarily hear at home, you'll hear lots of different opinions from the hosts of the show."

So if you haven't seen past episodes, go watch the latest one first then scrub up on the others. It's definitely going to give you a different perspective about very sensitive topics, you don't have to go far. Be there on the stations we mentioned earlier, every Sundays at 10:30PM. 

Be part of the conversation too!

TIKTALKS On Bigger, Bolder Second Season!

Looks like the guns are out and they're not going to be beating around the bush as TIKTALKS start their 2nd Season! Hosts Ms. Korina Sanchez Roxas, Alex Calleja, Ms. Pat-P Daza, G3 San Diego, Kakai Bautista promises an even more feisty discussion especially with those questions that everyone has on their mind - but didn't dare ask it.

They are after all from different walks of life, different backgrounds, a veteran broadcaster, a comedian, a radio personality, someone from production and writing, plus a spirited singer and comedienne, it's already a ruckus of a conversation just by knowing that.

Here's what happened during the media conference

This show is produced by Ms. Korina Sanchez-Roxas and her friend Jojie Dingcong of Media Kweens, Inc. Yes, in some way or form, this is like The View in the US, but very different because of it's Filipino flair. They're not even afraid to talk about things that may taboo in the Philippine context, they even opened up the possibilities of defending the not so popular of opinions, and it's totally okay. Previews of upcoming shows include their experiences with body odor and halitosis, so imagine the fun revelations of them talking about their friends and strangers they had to do white lies for.

This show allows you to learn more about what you could never talk about on a normal day. They make sure you'll have less inhibitions, have fun of situations, and perhaps learn something in the process. It's going to be light, none of those serious reportage you're used to see on television. It's something you can watch, be amused, have something to sit back and relax to after a long stressful day. Just to give you an idea, the press conference was very spontaneous that while we were being given answers, several conversations on the sidelines were also happening, and they say, that's exactly is what's happening while they are doing the show. They also promise a lot of interesting topics in the next few episodes, and a few select guests that would be interesting to also talk to. It's a surprise, so head on to TikTalks on TV5, on their subsidiary channel One PH, Radyo 5 on 92.3 News FM and their other partner channels (starts 9:30PM Sundays). This is exciting news, especially since Ms. Korina Sanchez Roxas recently signed a co production with ABSCBN for her hit show Rated Korina.

KORINA INTERVIEWS: Dental Diva Kakai Bautista

She's the Dental Diva, a very well known talented singer, comedienne and actress at that, she's Kakai Bautista. Her interesting story will be featured in Ms. Kornina Sanchez-Roxas' show "Korina Interviews" which will be shown Sundays 5PM on NET25.

Kakai says "I've been bullied because I was poor, and grew up as an ugly duckling. I learned to know the things I could and couldn't change. I wouldn't be able to change the shape of my teeth, but I know how gorgeous my eyes are. I didn't have toys when I was a kid, so I got plants, wood and thread to make one. I had to make my own, and ended up being envied by other kids because of it. I always made ways to survive and it has been my motto in life."

She was an ordinary woman who did Lea Salonga's wardrobe in theatre and Korina Sanchez handpicked her story among others because of how interesting her story is. Being bullied and poverty stricken in the past, a lot of people would learn about her story. In it, she's going to tell more about bullying, and controversial things she's encounterred on social media. Something you shouldn't miss!

Again, make sure you watch Korina Interviews on NET25 right after Goodwill. It starts at 5PM.

Dina Bonnevie Spills Tea on KORINA INTERVIEWS

 

Tomorrow is certainly a good day to go and watch veteran broadcaster and journalist Korina Sanchez-Roxas' show KORINA INTERVIEWS on NET 25 5PM. For starters, she's talking to the feisty, award winning actress Dina Bonnevie who's going to talk more about things she's gone through life, showbusiness and none of the controversial stuff she was in a few weeks ago (yes none of that certain celebrity).

During their talk, Dina divulges how her Dad had released dogs to run after her boyfriend, how had to tone down the way she talks because of politics, the things she does in the north, how she was tortured to kneel in mung beans, how she also had her daughter kneel on rice grains, plus the work she had to do despite being in a well off family. There will be tons of stories and anecdotes about her past relationships, and how she became THE Dina Bonnevie that we see today.

Again, make sure you set the channel on NET 25 this Sunday at 5PM and see what other interesting stories she would dish out and feisty statements uttered on Korina Interviews!

Brilliant Skin Essentials Set to Hold #PINAKAMAKINANG: THE BRILLIANT CONCERT 2023

Her name is Ms. Glenda, the CEO, girl boss and head honcho of popular beauty brand Brilliant Skin Essentials.

Albeit my first time seeing her in the flesh, I've heard of her handy work in social media and has created an empire off of beauty and skin care products that has catapulted her to success in just a short amount of time. 

The corporation has held concerts every year and was just halted because of the pandemic. She also admits they really prepared for this one which will happen on February 7th, 2023. This was something she really wanted to do after all the restrictions that happened in the last 3 years. 

When asked about the artists, she says she had a hand in choosing artists but credits her team and the show's director to put things together as she feels the need for the event to cater to different age groups, which makes total sense. Aside from that, some of the artists have schedule conflicts as it's the middle of the week, but she feels she's got the good ensemble made just in time for the big show. She felt the stars have aligned for "PINAKAMAKINANG" this coming Tuesday.

The artists set to perform in different acts on the #PINAKAMAKINANG The Brilliant Concert 2023 are Zeinab Harake, Andrea Brillantes, the band Kamikazee, artist Bamboo, Asia's Phoenix Morisette Amon, teen hearthrob Seth Fedelin, the bubbly Jillian Ward, the band Mayonnaise, my favorite singer Adie, the powerful belter JONA, broadcaster Korina Sanchez Roxas, Senator Raffy Tulfo, beauty queen Rabiya Mateo, DJ and host Sam YG and a multitude of drag queens just to name a few. Ms. Glenda also emphasized that this show isn't just for her, but for the thousands who have been instrumental in the success of their business. They also wanted the event to be in an even bigger venue (the Philippine Arena) but hinted that they didn't get to book the dates they needed. They already filled the Smart Araneta Coliseum in 2019 and now that they've had even more supporters, they might exceed the venue's capacity.

Ms. Glenda adds "2022 was certainly phenomenal for us as it was the year wherein we had the highest sales year on year. It has exponentially grown and made Brilliant Skin Essentials more popular as a brand. We're doing good as a business. I attribute my success from my inspiration, my Grandma. She always has been. Aside from that, we are thankful for all the dealers, distributors, sellers who have helped us become who we are today. They are the first one who trusted us and the reason why a lot of people know how effective our products are."

Brilliant Skin Essentials she says has already achieved phenomenal success. They are concentrating on expanding and diversifying their portfolio into other industries like the hospitality industry. She confirms opening a hotel in Malaysia after purchasing the building where their skin center was operating in the commonwealth state. They are keen in opening more businesses and not just in skincare per se. She says this has been the effect on opening the construction arm of her business, especially since she's a woman doing what men usually do. She just feels everything is falling into place.

As for the concert, I was surprised as our small chat divulged one of the numbers they will be doing which includes the good looking guy ALDEN RICHARDS having a duet with Ms. Glenda (maybe, maybe soon) so make sure you get there before gates close. Aside from Brilliant Skin Essentials products, they will be raffling off Yamaha Mio Motorcycles (10) and 2 brand new cars + more prizes when they feel like giving away more.

The company is also going to continue their CSR projects including scholarships, a planned foundation that will establish a "Children's Home" and perhaps a hospital soon. She's a little sad that some feel she doesn't do that but shrugs it off because they just don't publicize it. In hindsight, they really don't need to.

Ms. Glenda wants to in the near future to just take it easy, to have the business run smoothly with people she can trust so she doesn't have to bee too hands on and busy just like now. She, her Grandma and her whole family are thankful about the achievements and want to be an inspiration for those who have, like her, has gone through hardships of life and now enjoys the fruits of her hard work all these years.

If you're a part of their network, entrance is FREE. Follow their social channels for more information about the show.

Beautéderm Opens Corporate Headquarters and Beauté Beanery in Pampanga

It must have been her great dream to to one day, cement her brand and put her business in one roof hence the new Beautéderm Corporate Headquarters in Angeles City, Pampanga. Ms. Rei Ramos Anicoche Tan and the Beautéderm team finally opened the new building (which houses several of her brands) and the newly launched Beauté Beanery (a coffee shop) in this location. It's also Beautéderm Corporation's 14th year in the business and this was the opportune time for us to see what they've done with the place. It was absolutely gorgeous from outside!

This is welcome news for the multitude of their loyal customers who have always patronized their skin, body, fragance and health booster products known for its efficacy and quality. This isn't just a business for CEO and founder Rhea Tan because it provides resellers, their distributors and franchisees something that could change their lives. The new building has been 2 years in the making and it was meant to be the main base of operations in the country.

The place was absolutely posh. They had marble and nice tiles, gold fixtures from floor to ceiling. They also had several designer trunks here and there which made it look even better. They also had the BeautéHaus which provides skin services and we were greeted by several of their people, it felt quite welcoming. Since it's also the first time we're seeing this building, they invited several artists to make the event sparkle!

Artists include singer Alynna Velasquez, character actress Ynez Veneracion, internationally awarded actress Ms. Sylvia Sanchez, the gorgeous Jane Oineza, the iconic Ms. Lorna Tolentino, international sensation Darren Espanto, premier broadcaster Korina Sanchez Roxas and the beautiful Bea Alonzo.  There were also several social media influencers in attendance and a lot of media entities from Pampanga, broadsheets, tabloids and bloggers.

Ms. Rei and Bea Alonzo

The new Beauté Beanery on the other hand concocted several hot and cold coffee variations, also prepared hot food, cakes and pastries. It'll surely be a nice spot for remote work, dates or just usual coffee breaks if you're in the area.

Ms. Sylvia Sanchez also obliged us with an interview about how she feels about being an endorser of Beautéderm and her whole journey. We also asked he a bit about Ria Atayde's recent milestones as the newest calendar girl.

Ms. Rei was very optimistic that this will just be the first of 10 buildings she wants to put up all over the country. I've seen them grow over the years and I'm so happy that a Filipino corporation has achieved so much in such a short amount of time. She had very humble beginnings, her life story is quite inspiring and it teaches you that anything is possible if you put your mind, your heart and hard work into it.

Congratulations to the men and women who have made it possible for Beautéderm to grow where it is today!

KORINA INTERVIEWS: Lion of the North Hon. Luis Chavit Singson

This next interview by Ms. Korina Sanchez-Roxas is certainly going to be interesting. He's feared by many, and highly influential especially in the world of politics in the north, no other than former Governor Luis Chavit Singson.

Although Korina Interviews have turned into a very lighthearted format, Governor Chavit was more than game in answering issues, and promises to do it  no holds barred.

Much to Ms Korina's surprise, they talked about what happened with Governor Chavit and former President Joseph Estrada wherein he confirmed to have had a rift in the past few years. Aside from that, they also have talked lengthily about his feared persona which he says was just made up by those who are just trying to bring him down since politics has always been full of mudslinging especially during elections.
