Shopee Taps VICE GANDA as Newest Brand Endorser

She's the one and only unkabogable Vice Ganda and she's the new brand ambassador for Shopee. This comes as they launch the 9.9 Super Shopping Day (starting on the 1st of September) plus new efforts to digitize Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the country. They partnered with the League of Provinces (hence the lawmakers present in the event) which they hope to help local entrepreneurs get tapped on the platform. Mind you, the org has a membership of over 81 provinces so there's definitely a lot who could benefit from it. They'll be trained and also guided how to get onboard the platform (just like what they've done in the past) but of course, with an entirely new audience.

Was this a shade????? LOL!

Shopee is also making this event a good one as they implemented FREE SHIPPING everyday, up to 70 percent off on products sold on Shopee LIVE, plus more discounts on the Fashion and Beauty category. This is good news for those who are into make up, grooming, and those who plan to change their wardrobe soon.

Here's Vice Ganda's statement when she was announced as the brand ambassador.

Brands that I saw during the event include itel, the good people from Pfizer, Vice Cosmetics, Shigetsu, INSPI, Mikana (who had awesome accessories btw!), Platinum Karaoke, and my favorite these days GameXtreme (heck I bought a lot of games from there!). There are also phone brands like Tecno, OPPO, Vivo, clothing brands like Penshopee, OXGN, Bench, Regatta, shoe brands KEDS and Crocs. So imagine the things you can get on 9.9!

They've got the right endorser today, and I wish Shopee gets back on track. They encourage you to install it, or re-install if that's the case. Those discounts are seriously good.

She was just named as the newest Shopee Ambassador and her new commercials and photos will be out this 3.3 Sale. During the presscon, she was telling us all about her experience buying off the app especially those of which she needs for the kitchen, her home and how it helped her find things she needs for her businesses.

Alden Richards Named Boardwalk's YES Ambassador

It was nice to see this busy guy. He came from a whole day of taping, a bit tired and weary. He's hardworking that's why when he came out on stage, it didn't look like that at all. The attention and popularity he's gotten from the kalyeserye of course have made him a household name, even bigger than he expected. Now, Eat Bulaga has erased the competition in ratings, he's got tons of people adoring him and perhaps a love life looming in the horizon. I don't know anyone who doesn't love #AlDub these days and just like every person who has believed Alden Richards will have his time to shine, this one was almost blinding! Yes, this was one of the reasons why he was so thankful when we talked to him during that evening at the Music Museum when he was revealed as the face for YES, popular brand Boardwalk's Young Emerging Sociopreneurs.

To say that the crowd went wild is but an understatement, they went ballistic when Alden went near the edge of the stage. Hugs and kisses, I've heard of stories but I heard them on the mic during that evening. I'm glad Alden didn't get hurt but imagine how it would have been if he was outside on the streets, people probably would go equally crazy as well. Alden Richards wanted to entertain the crowd so he sang one number and we got that on video. Aside from that, he said a few words to the students and young entrepreneurs. He also said thanks to the Boardwalk family for believing in him back then when he was just starting and he also mentioned that the company isn't just a sponsor, but he felt they were like family. Boardwalk also believes in making the Filipino be a part of their dream and they had several awardees, outstanding leaders on stage to say their piece so the attendees would get pointers, get inspired of what hard work can do.

Alden even made that cute little gesture he does called "Pabebe Wave" and the response from people was just ecstatic. Here's the interview we did with Alden on video.

Watch Alden sing and serenade the crowd, how deep is your love?



Check out how Alden Richards feel as a new Twitter Millionaire.

Anthony Pangilinan also had a talk and inspired so many young individuals that evening. Boardwalk has been making these guys and gals be marketing geniuses this early, I'm sure they'll be extremely successful sociopreneurs as they become catalysts in economic stability in the country, add to that the social impact they'll have in their own schools and communities. Alden Richards must be really proud to be part of the Boardwalk family. He's blessed because he's definitely worked hard for it. I hope his story also becomes an inspiration to those who would want to be successful in their chosen fields. AlDub all the way!

Coca Cola Philippines Wins US Government's ACE

US Ambassador Philip Goldberg (center) together with Director of HR and Corporate Affairs of Coca Cola Femsa Philippines Juan Carlos Rodriguez (left) and Atty. Adel Tamano the VP for Public Affairs and Communications for Coca Cola Philippines accepting the US State Department's Award for Corporate Excellence last December at Sofitel Manila..

Coca Cola Philippines just got the Secretary of State's Award for Corporate Excellence for their efforts in relief and rehabilitation during Typhoon Yolanda. US Ambassador Philip Goldberg gave them the award in ceremonies done in Sofitel Manila and received by VP for Public Affairs and Cimmunications Atty. Adel Tamano.

Coca Cola Philippines was one of the first few companies to respond for calls to help with the crisis as Western and Central Visayas was hit by Typhoon Haiyan and donated around 2.5 Million US dollars from its main office. It was given to various relief, humanitarian efforts and partnerships with the Philippine Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity. They also pooled donations and volunteers during this time so they could address basic needs like water, nutrition and education. 

They suspended all advertising for Christmas and realigned programs so they could rechannel the funds for the same purpose. Right now, they are implementing programs like the Agos Ram Water Pump (to help improve water quality and sanitation), the NutriJuice Program (to help 35,000 school children from malnutrition), and Little Red School House (built 300 classrooms to benefit thousands of kids in the province) plus a 5by20 Program so they would be economically empowered women entrepreneurs and provide 1000 sari sari stores in the province of Leyte. They also partnered with USAID for the rehabilitation of ravaged stores in both Leyte and Samar. It helped ensure commerce, the flow of goods in the community which is a crucial part of bringing normalcy in the province. They also provided loans and programs for Negros Women of Tomorrow Foundation, Alternative Indigenous Development Foundation Inc. with the help of the Department of Education, Philippine Business for Social Progress and local government units among others. 

Coca Cola Philippines is now one of three companies to win the Secretary of State's 2014 Award for Corporate Excellence. It's given to American companies to recognize leadership and commitment to innovation, responsible practices and positive contributions to local economies. Congratulations to you guys and I hope I get to visit your plant again soon!

The New Glee Cast in the Philippines and Coke Mismo!

Hollywood seems to be just around the corner because stars have been coming to Manila like clockwork. Just recently, Coca Cola launched their new beverage size called COKE MISMO and together with that, they got Filipino celebrities and some of the guys and gals from GLEE. Yes you read that right, they are here live in the flesh!

Hosting the press conference was Iya Villania. Then she introduced them one by one!

Jacob Artist aka Jake Puckerman was here. Oh you bet there were more!

Gorgeous blonde bombshell and cheerleader Becca Tobin who's got deadly legs! I love her!

Next Rachelle Berry to be Melissa Benoist, classy and sweet just the way we like it.

Dean Geyer was also there but he was a little too quick in the front of the stage so I didn't get to take photos of him. He was also VERY good looking... Aussie on all corners but New Yorker by all means I think.

Coca Cola is extremely generous so aside from Coke ambassadors Enchong Dee, Julia Montes, Kathryn Bernardo and Joseph Marco, they brought these new Glee cast members for the launch of the new Coke MISMO which is a new bottle size from Coca Cola. For those who find the 500ml too much or the solo size too "bitin" this is the one in between. It also costs only 10 pesos with all that fizz you get from the original Coca Cola you love all these years!

They were also interviewed by Iya Villania and we had so much fun because the conversation was very casual.

I don't want to disturb you, here's a ton of photos for your viewing pleasure!
