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.

DUNKIN Presents GIVE IN TO SB19

We spent the afternoon marveling at how generous Dunkin’ is to have been able to put up a big concert at Araneta Coliseum with the most popular boy group in the Philippines today SB19. They’re no endorsers yet but they coined them presentors in a one of a kind show at the big dome. This is part of Dunkin’ Day where they show appreciation to their loyal customers by giving them free donuts and lotsa discounts on that day. Unfortunately, all of these will be moved to a later date but don’t fret with the postponement (amidst the COVID19 concern), they promise it will be a big one!

They call it GIVE IN TO SB19, a mix of entertainment numbers with Kpop and Ppop songs all performed by the boys. They trained under Korean entertainment company ShowBT and recently got the nod of International Billboard’s Next Big Sound Chart. Sejun, Stell, Ken, Josh and Justin would like you to be there, so make sure you got your tickets okay?! Oh and they also revealed vouchers for VIP seats were gone in 3 minutes!

Here’s some of the highlights of the press conference and a couple of photos which you’ll love!

Is SB19 sweet?!






What do they think of the A’Tins?






How did SB19 start?







How do they take care of their skin?






Someone tried to ask them about their girlfriends, this happened:







They got overwhelmed seeing their billboards







About the concert being postponed to a later date!

So for announcements and dates of the actual show, make sure to follow Dunkin’s social media channels and the SB19 official accounts because they will also announce it there. 

See you all soon A’Tin!

  

I'll be there! :)

 

ICONIC: The Sharon Cuneta and Regine Velasquez Concert

I really don’t think there would be words that could personify the one and only Megastar Ms. Sharon Cuneta and Asia’s Songbird Ms. Regine Velasquez, but this is happening this October 18 and 19, it’s called ICONIC, a fitting title to some of the country’s artists. What’s going to happen during that evening? 

Ms. Sharon Cuneta says “I am emotionally and mentally drained (talking about retiring) and since I was in my teens, I have always said I will not allow entertainment to ear my soul. The landscape has changed and it has been a very good business, it’s just time to relax and focus on children. Actually I was shocked, we were not supposed to be together and then, he asked if he could talk to me, I said okay and we talked, we’re okay. PLDT, Martin and Pops were joking, people were warm. I told people in social media about my sadness, I had a lot of debt, like half a billion and had to work non stop, it was just focusing on God that I had to do. I was becoming like the people despise, I just surrendered everything to God and it was becoming lighter.” 

About Ms. Regine, she says “I get kilig when she calls me ate. I believe in Regine and her sincerity, God is so good. Just like Bukas Luluhod ang mga Tala, the song Pangarap na Bituin happened to her. I don’t buy friendships, as many of you know I only do it quietly, sometimes I just have to scream about people who you are so proud of. It was a ring I bought in Sex and the City. It took a few months and got it made, it was really special and I wanted her to keep it for the rest of her life, they have been there for me since I was a kid but I want more love for the person I am and she has a very good heart. Ogie is my friends since the 80’s, they have been there for me since then.” 

She was asked about the Sharon Gabby reunion last night and if he appeared in the concert, Ms. Sharon laments “I hope it won’t be a surprise like last night because this is a music event, I don’t think it’s the right time, last night wasn’t planned and it was for the teachers. My teachers in St. Paul they always see me in concerts in the US, I picked up a lot of my sweetness from them. It was so overwhelming because it has the chemistry, you cannot fake it, we have our families and it’s been years. It was so unplanned and the reaction of people was unbelievable, I put it all to God because we can always do plans, but it was God’s way to put it that WE ARE OKAY. It would be nice to work again.” 

Ms. Regine told us about guests in her concert and says “In my side I would have Zeph in our concert, in Sharon’s side it will be Jeremy and I am happy for them. Might as well, we are doing other concerts but hopefully we could do this on a tour for Europe or Japan, I really want Japan! On stage we will have different food, with their support I am thankful to them because in the layout seeing two of the companies supporting us, it was really nice of them to support their artists. We will have lots of songs, LOTS of it. I was wanting to do a concert with her but it was hard because we were in different stations. It was hard to even talk, until serious stuff happened last year. The name Iconic was hard to come out with because it will look like we’re putting it lightly but I would use it for people who have put in the work. I have worked with a lot of singers and the concert that i do is a lot of times not about me, it’s about our collaboration. It’s a story and not a showdown, not a concert, there is a lot of heart in it. Us working together is our love and respect for each other, we have different preferences but we know we are loved, it’s a journey and it is heart not just made for the concert. I hope you all see us at the Araneta Coliseum. Don’t ask me about how I love her, I already put it out there and this is it! I have been the Chona all these years, after the concert, we might not be able to talk but I know I will be always here.” 

Here is our video to tell you about the press conference:

Now all you’ve got to do is show up and buy tickets (Platinum is all sold out), you can get them at Ticketnet or the Araneta Ticket Booths. This is directed by Rowell Santiago, Musical Direction by Louie Ocampo and Raul Mitra. This is presented by Pagoda Cold Wave Lotion and PLDT Home. 

IMPOSSIBLE at the Araneta this Christmas

You've already seen Ben Hart on my earlier article about this show but today we're delighted to see another guy who's monicker explains it all, he's Magical Bones!

He hails from the south of London, known for his antics about street magic and conjuring. The title bestowed upon this chap is The World's Best Hip-Hop Magician that stems from his capability to mix magic tricks, break dancing, sleight of hand and a whole lot more. So from December 25 to January 3, make sure you get tickets to the show with the biggest and most breathtaking performances, the greatest magic show on earth!

"As a magician, I like other street magicians like David Blaine and other UK based street performers. I think it's all about practice, sitting in front of a mirror and it takes a while perfectinga trick, you can always improve. You might take a long time doing it because it's a skill but the wonder and astonishment is real. We do have a lot of death defying tricks in the show, life threatening but you'll see that during Christmas. I did a couple shows with really big stars but we focus on doing our job. Everyone has a segment on the show and we all have the same amount of time in the show. Maybe when the internet came out, it may have had the kids enjoy figuring it out but what I do is different. Dancing and magic happened in London, during breaktime in the sets I just came up with it like a natural progression. It's just doing me, who I am, my taste, in different hiphop tracks. There's only a few, I may be the only one doing this so I'm the best. We have dancers in London that are Filipino, amazing but quite a few. It's fun doing what you do, you'll see Crunchy, my signature act. You'll see the best magicians too aside from me, and you've got variety, different ranges of magic throughout the show and each is unique, you won't see any other acts like it in the world. Maybe, maybe, you'll get to see us all in one act, that's a secret. We also will have our team's Christmas dinner here so I'm excited and really looking forward to that!"

Visit and get tickets at TicketNet or the Araneta ticket booths that's open office hours. Your kids would enjoy this as much as you!

IMPOSSIBLE: World's Greatest Magic Show at the Smart Araneta Coliseum

I have been a fan of magic since Mickey Mouse did it on The Sorcerer's Apprentice. I also watched reruns of David Copperfield and am still terrified of some of David Blaine's and Criss Angel. I've also watched some BBC shows online and have seen some of the best illusionists in Europe, and pretty much I've seen some AMAZING stuff that would get me sleepless for a few days. I'm sure I'm not alone, and if I would have the chance to see them in one place, I'd gladly do it in a heartbeat. 

Now I don't  think I have to get and fly to Europe now just to see some of the World's best MAGICIANS because this afternoon, I got to see one of them in the flesh. Yes, it's Ben Hart. This gentleman from Hampshire is part of the act together with 6 other magicians as they bring IMPOSSIBLE which debuted in London's West End to Manila, Philippines.

Pleasing to the eyes, this chap had us giddy to actually talk to him about how he started. We also asked him about what to expect in the show that they are staging at the Araneta Coliseum from December 25 to January 3, 2018.

We sat down and he said "I really really enjoy magic and it's hard to say what's special about me, I started about 5 or 6 and did it professionally when I was about 16. It's amazing to have a job that you enjoy and earn from it, we know people are leaking secrets on social media and we have got to up our technology. Magicians are actually scientists, it becomes more challenging and difficult, we research a lot and get answers immediately"

We also asked what to expect on Christmas day and he said "On this show, I will be with Bello Nock is a really good daredevil, Magical Bones who is a street magician that does break dancing on show, Josephine Lee a brilliant female illusionist, Ali Cook who is a daring escapologist from UK, Chris Cox who is a mind reader. There are some great magicians in the world but these are currently some of the industry's best. Being around these magicians are inspiring, it takes a lot to do this, traveling internationally is great especially in this kind of work. I meet people and learn so much about people, you can feel the attitude of te culture when they are in front of you. I don't sit down to practice you just work on it and make it better most of the time. I want to go everywhere, I wanna keep going. My advice, is make magic for your audience and try to create something new in the way you present it."

Now we're not leaving the venue without us seeing the MAGIC itself, so Ben gladly showed us his tricks with our blogger friend Albert of Chikaness.

We had so much fun in just a few minutes of being there with this young lad. Now imagine if they were all there. That's exactly what you'll love to see in IMPOSSIBLE this Christmas day. Get tickets of the show via TicketNet.com.ph. Ticket prices are Php 1800, Php 1500, Php 1200, Php 800, Php 500 and Php 150 (plus ticketing charge). Or you may reserve via phone 911-5555 or 374-9999.

Thank you for this experience Wilbros Live and for producing the show!

Erik Santos and Angeline Quinto at the Araneta Coliseum

Sitting like Kings and Queens during the press conference of their long awaited concert entitled "Erik Santos and Angeline Quinto at the Araneta Coliseum", we were so delighted to hear the King and Queen of Theme Songs dish out their personal duet version of "This I Promise You" which was originally sung by NSync. According to Erik, the song epitomizes their relationship right now and if ever they had a proper theme song of their own, this would be it. Apart from their relationship, you're going to see a different set of songs to be sung in the concert that are personally picked by Erik and Angeline since the events conception, as they've talked about it during the past few years they've worked together. What's exciting is, they're utter yearning to do all of the songs they've dreamed of and doing it all in one event, in one place. I could see their eyes beaming of excitement when they mentioned some of them during that time and just imagine when they do these songs with extreme gusto because it'll be their rules, their show.

When asked about the lip sync issue, they both agreed that it would be great if singers of top caliber were given more breaks than the usual although they don't discount the more popular ones just like anybody else can do their own music and if that's what the public wants, that's what they'll get. Erik says practicality wise, Producers would want something good that will also earn so they can get their money back or earn off from it, that's what they do. Erik definitely has a point in that department. They also mentioned Ms. Lea Salonga's case where she did do it in an international awards ceremony when she couldn't do it live and had to still be there under those circumstances. 

They obviously look good together and when I asked about why they're not calling it official, Erik told us that what they have is already pretty special. They're always there for each other and they know what their relationship is right now but they don't want to put labels on it. They are taking their time and want to still be with each other without any pressure from anybody else or perhaps if they are together, they don't want other people to tear them apart in public. Erik says "If we'll be together, we would be glad for everyone to know but for now, she's special for me and I know that I am for her, that's a promise we'd keep for each other." Angeline on the other hand says "Erik is the guy who's going to be there for me when I need him. He's the one who I go to when I need help and even though I don't ask for it, he does it like he knows I need it."

Their concert "Erik Santos and Angeline Quinto at the Araneta Coliseum" will happen on August 15, 2015 at 8PM. Special guests will be Martin Nievera, Ms. Regine Velasquez. Musical Direction will be done by Homer Flores and the show will be directed by Johnny Manahan. For tickets please call 9115555 or visit Ticketnet.com.ph now!

Daniel Padilla Most Wanted Concert

If you haven't heard it yet, the teen king Daniel Padilla will be doing a concert called Daniel Padilla Most Wanted this June 13, 2015. The good looking guy will be singing a couple of songs mostly old ones as he has admitted to be an old soul. The songs he'll be performing is where he's mostly comfortable and as I posted in Instagram (Follow @kumagcow there please and on Twitter and Periscope!) he hasn't really had time to rehearse. He was able to rest these past few days and take the long way of choosing the songs, singing it a few times even if he lacked sleep because he's still taping episodes for his soap "Pangako Sa'yo" (I Promise You) which has gone worldwide in the past. They're probably also doing the same in this franchise because as it seems, the following the teen queen and king has is just phenomenal.

Mom Carla Estrada aka The Queen Mother has been very supportive of his son and Daniel confirms that she might actually be part of the show. As for Kathryn appearing, he knows that she's got a lot of work still on the same show and he doesn't know yet if it's going to be a surprise kind of thing... he hopes though that she'll get to be there so that fans would be happy. The show Most Wanted just makes this a mark of his career, he's already filled the Smart Araneta Coliseum in the past and this repeat in Mall of Asia Arena he says will be more personal. As of now, he said that the only tickets available will be SRO meaning mostly all the tickets got sold out when it was available online.

He's just human and when asked if he's nervous, he said he's worried because the lack of rehearsal time might actually be something to worry about. Though he's very optimistic that they're going to finish this on time and because it's showing tomorrow, he hopes he doesn't disappoint especially those who have supported him all these years. This time, it's more personal, this time it's more of him and he hopes that in some way, even if the teens of this time wouldn't be able to know most of the songs he's singing, they would be able to relate to it just like he does because that's what Daniel Padilla loves.

This is the most awaited concert of the year and the proof of the putting is it's outstanding box office success so far. I hope teens and their friends would be able to watch this concert in Mall of Asia tomorrow. You'll be missing a lot if you don't watch the teen king perform once again on stage. Who knows, Kathryn might show up and you won't be there!  

Congratulations Daniel! Break a leg tomorrow!
