Holcim ad Gets Rock Treatment with PNE's Chito Miranda

Folks from building solutions Holcim Philippines just got served a rock ad by one of the most revered pop icons Chito Miranda of Parokya ni Edgar.

That's so smart since there's probably a lot of fans that are of the same age as people who adore him and the generational music he represents.

The corp has made him act as a sales officer, re-assuring customers that the construction materials they get from Holcim comes with innovation and is sourced sustainably. He also played the role of architect, contractor, and make watchers realize that you can get all the construction materials and solutions from Holcim, accompanied by rock music done just for fun!

They are the premier brand for construction projects, especially well loved Holcim cement which is quite popular around the country. This was also done in hopes of inspiring even more people to see how Holcim has helped a lot of people to build their homes, without breaking their construction budget.

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. For those who needs plasters, the one they call TectorPlast and TectorCeram would better fit your projects. All you need to do is just ask for it. Quality need not be sacrificed, with standards passed, Holcim definitely fits your next project!

Congratulations Chito! You're one good guy that has been trusted by so many brands, and now Holcim is with you too!

SB19, Parokya Ni Edgar, Headline Acer #MakeYourGreenMark Concert

It was fun, full of music and fantastic performers at the Acer Day 2022. Tickets for this concert were given to individuals who buy from their sustainable line the Acer Vero or donating to Heritatge foundation and recyclables dropped of The Plaf which is a social enterprise who recycles plastic stuff.

It was certainly a good cause and fans went through the lines like clockwork, filling the Mall of Asia Arena to the brim. Acer also did several promos at the venue with their laptops and home products. Then the concert started.

Performers include SB19, OC Records' Adie,  girl group KAIA, Janina Vela, SUD, Team Payaman, and my personal favorite Parokya ni Edgar. Chito Miranda started his set by telling the audience that they were not there to be just seen on stage to perform, told everyone to come near it and told us to enjoy the occasion with them. We did!

Tanduay Rhum Rockfest Year 7

One epic night deserve some gorgeous photos. I've covered them last year and this year's Tanduay Rhum Rockfest Year 7 was surely awesome! The crowd was rocking, the multitude of bands who performed were well appreciated. Thousands of people flocked the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds taking advantage of the tickets they got from drinking one of the best rhums in the world... TANDUAY!

How can you not love seeing Parokya ni Edgar, Kamikazee, Rico Blanco, Sponge Cola, Wolfgang, Gloc 9, Color it Red, Ebe Dancel, True Faith, The Youth, Chicosci, Sandwich, Kitchie Nadal, Barbie Almabis, Alamid, Abra, Session Road, General Luna, Frank Magalona, Hilera, The Dawn, Franco, Up Dharma Down, Siakol and 6cyclemind all in one place? You must be out of your mind!

Barbie Almalbis stayed away from the acoustic set she did on other stints and got back to her stuff with a cloud of electric guitar goodness and played the classic hits we loved.

He's back and he's even got a Rhum Coke on his hand. He's no other than the great lover boy Chito Miranda who gave the crowd superior performance with Parokya ni Edgar. He didn't hold back on performance level and it was awesome to hear him sing with other artists during the Tanduay Rockfest Year 7. Him + GLOC9 = EPIC!

Jet Pangan and The Dawn singing SALAMAT above all things brings back memories. He's the best in his class and brings REAL music hands down. No matter what genre, people still appreciate their music because its genuine... salamat for everything. Thank you for getting in touch with the crowd too!

People don't go crazy as JAY of Kamikazee. Put him on stage plus a couple of gorgeous girls and he'll surely ask for a GROUP HUG. No malice or pun intended. He's the real deal ladies man and he rocked MOA Grounds that night.

6CycleMind's former frontman Ney Dimaculangan shows us he's still got it. This guy's vocal adrenaline is tops. He's voice is really good and mighty perfect for rockstars. He's the real deal and this was doubly great when he also got on stage with other artists.

What's even better is that even if you missed this concert, they'll be showing it on TV as Tanduay Rhum Rockfest VII premiers via Sunday Night Box Office on GMA-7 November 10, 2013. It shows around 10PM-12AM so make sure you don't touch that remote if you wish to have this rockfest in your homes!

Tanduay Rhum Rockfest Year 6!

There are rockstars.... and there are rock gods. The Philippines has got a lot to thank for because the industry is flourishing. That was the thing these guys chose to talk about a few days ago. All for the love of rock! Mind you they just started talking about it after the first question was thrown in. Check out these photos and see if you know some of them! =)

Chito Miranda of Parokya Ni Edgar! He says how can the music industry die if we've got our band playing a lot of gigs these days. We've got our own set of followers and if you know how much they adore us, that statement about the music industry dying is just not true!

Kamikazee frontman Jay Contreras agrees. Then laughs it off with PNE vocalist Chito Miranda. The question and answer portion just became hilarious!

Good looking Rico Blanco. He's so happy to sit beside his rock buddies and about this awesome opportunity to work with them. 

Urbandub's Gabby Alipe is also going to be there. Isn't that great?!

Tanduay, the Philippines' number 1 rum knows that in this day and age people need to start paying attention to the talents that we have in the country. They are launching the biggest and grandest series of concerts in Luzon, Vizayas and Mindanao as part of the Tanduay Rhum Rockfest Year 6. They have been doing it a few years already and the thing is, the best bands, rock gods and personalities this country have will perform with their compatriots to celebrate another year of Philippine Rock Music! Tanduay knows their market starts with the new generation, the young professionals who enjoy having a couple of rounds of their product. If you go out at night, enjoy mixed drinks, chances are one of the main ingredients of each glass you take probably has Tanduay Rhum!

One of the inspirations of why I went into bands a few years back is this guy right here. When I see him perform, its just goosebumps! Wolfgang and its front man Basti Artadi is here!

Good friend Calde Calderon of Chicosci was there. It was so nice to meet him, do you remember the time I interviewed him here? =) It's cool and good looking people like him that make me believe music can transcend genres and stereotypes. Just look at Chicosci's music and you know what I mean!

I had so much fun listening to their candid answers, the host from channel 4 did a pretty good job hosting.

Rap superstar Gloc 9 thought he was the odd man but imagine how he became the only rapper who will perform with these rock artists. I was excited to see him perform that afternoon!

Ebe Dancel will also be there among the tons of bands that will perform for the 6th installment of Tanduay Rhum Rockfest!

Gloc 9 performed Hari ng Tondo where Denise his protege was part of. It was awesome!

If that wasn't crazy enough I had goosebumps listening to them play Sirena with Ebe Dancel! It was awesome I tell you!

Three BIG Concerts in Three different regions, this is the Tanduay Rhum Rockfest Year 6 paying homage to OPM and artists of this country! If you don't watch, you'll surely regret it!

Artists, producers, people from Tanduay signed on this commitment wall in support of Original Filipino Music!

The concerts will be in Cebu on October 12, Davao on October 19 and Manila on October 26, 2012! Don't worry if you don't have tickets yet because it's so easy to get one to see these people perform live!

For those who want VIP tickets, simply purchase 2 bottles of Tanduay 5 Years 750ml and 1 bottle of Tanduay Light 750ml on selected 7-11 outlets nationwide!
