We witnessed the competition here in Manila a few months ago and now, they get to travel to Malaysia for the actual Acer APAC Predator League for 2025.
Since the finals is being hosted in Malaysia, the event will be done at MITEC which usually is a venue for trade expos. This time though there will be 28 teams from different regions in the world. Teams will be battling it out in MMORPG game DOTA 2 and top FPS game Valorant. The winner will be holding up the coveted Predator Shield and a whopping cash prize of 400,000 US Dollars (which will surely change lives no?).
The event will also be a place for different activities because it will be attended by gaming greats, online stars, even cosplay. This is part of their efforts to promote eSports not just in the country but the whole region. The athletes will be donning Acer's Predator gaming rigs, to hopefully showcase how great it is when it comes to response, power and beating your opponents. From Predator Orion X desktop units, to Predator Galea 365 Gaming Headsets, people will surely enjoy every blood rushing game on the Predator XB253Q screens. Folks will also be seeing the "It Lies Within" as performed by different world class artists (perhaps SB19, G22, Dara, Minzy and Sarah Geronimo included!). Hopefully, our boys from ZOL ESports and IVORY would win and make this an even better time for the Philippines! Laban Pilipinas!
Acer's 6th Asia Pacific (APAC) Predator League All Set in Malaysia!

PIOLO, SARAH, MATTEO and Sun Life Invites You to PLAY FOR LIFE!
Wednesday, July 10, 2024
The first line I heard from the speakers in this event, they said "Knowing is not equal to experience"; so in Sun Life's recent campaign they introduced to us not just financial advice, but lessons in this advocacy and planning.
Targeting Gen Z means dealing with people who have more than usual knowledge about investing in insurance and mutual funds. Sun Life is a pioneer in both fronts, and even in more certain times, Sun Life wants to simplify, more relatable through a game. They call it PLAY FOR LIFE.

| Piolo, Sarah, and Matteo played the boardgame versions as well... Matteo won their round! |
Sun Fit and Well for Donny Pangilinan - one that can cover health mishaps and hospitalization. They also are into preventive wellness, critical illness benefits, and specific cancer booster benefits. This also includes special bonuses and dividend earnings if you prefer to also invest done in a limited payment period. It is also affordable.
Sun Smarter Life Classic for the Guidicellis - because having double coverage is possible. Aside from the life insurance, you can do it double the face amount. It protects you from accidents, disability and illnesses. You can also use this as a fund in case of emergencies.
Sun Legacy for Piolo Pascual - This one is a protection and savings plan. Since Piolo knows how to save, this has lifetime insurance coverage up until the age of 100. This also has cash benefits, access to money when you need it, and short payment options if you want to pay for it easy.
They also launched the "Play for Life" Game which can be done in life sized versions, board games or online versions. They plant to do these at Mall tours on July 27-28 in SM Sta Rosa, SM Lanang on Aug 24-25 and more tba. This certainly makes talk and understanding the things about Sun Life more fun. Actually, I tried the board game version versus other press and bloggers, and won in the end!
Now it's your turn to play! Check out playforlife.sunlife.com.ph today!
Donny Pangilinan, Piolo Pascual, Sarah Geronimo, Matteo Guidicelli Lives with Guaranteed Partners for Life!
Saturday, November 25, 2023
They're all at the prime of their careers, and one thing is for sure, if I'd be in their shoes, I would be really nervous. Artists like Donny Pangilinan, Piolo Pascual, and husband and wife Sarah Geronimo, Matteo Guidicelli most of the time have work, so securing their future certainly should be the play in a very volatile industry.
Donny has just got his career started, while Sarah and Matteo are planning their lives as a newly wed couple. Piolo on the other hand has plans to invest heavily in the next few years, especially since he has saved up a lot over the years. They are all part of Sun Life's newest endeavor called "Guaranteed Partner for Life!"
Ms. Carla Gonzales Chong the Chief Client Experience and Marketing Officer for Sun Life says "Donny, Sarah, Matteo and Piolo all know how Sun Life has been a great partner in planning with and supporting our clients. As ambassadors, they have real life experience in prioritizing what they need for now and their future. Sun Life has been in the industry for over 128 years, and in it we have been able to help Filipinos through world wars, economic turmoil, even recently, a pandemic. They know that they can count on us as their Guaranteed Partner for Life. We are happy to be part of their financial security and bright future. You will see them in our new campaign videos, at different times in their lives they will share their experience in fulfilling their goals, just like for every Filipino."

LAZADA Introduces CHOICE with SARAH GERONIMO
Friday, October 20, 2023
You've probably come across that fun jingle and commercial where Sarah Geronimo informs you about CHOICE on LAZADA. The leading online shopping platform to a colorful event at Studio 300 in Makati City.
But really, what is CHOICE? It's new channel, a place where you can pick 3 items on the list and pay for it for only 99 pesos. If you're looking for a deal or just want something to give your friends, family or even officemates for the holidays, wouldn't this be a great idea?
Tons of people were there, including LazAffiliates, influencers, bloggers to enjoy the afternoon. They had several games, billiards and bowling lanes reserved so we could throw a ball or two for fun. Then they had us choose 3 items on a section where people usually would pay a huge amount, and because it's on CHOICE, these best sellers only cost 99 on a normal day. This only happens on Lazada, and nothing on that.
There's more where that came from! Go download the app and get the deals you deserve! Because yes, you've got the CHOICE!

SARAH GERONIMO Officially Joins SUN LIFE
Monday, July 03, 2023
I don't know what it is about this particular media conference, but after covering Sarah Geronimo for a couple of years now, this has been one of the most bubbly instances we've seen her. She was nervous before the announcement and while she talked to Matteo about being part of Sun Life, he said she just had to be herself... and I think that's why she was phenomenal telling us about her financial journey. She's also so glad to be doing this with her husband because they were like a team on stage, like highschool sweethearts telling stories, finishing each others sentences.
Her campaign was called "Partners for Life!", fitting, especially if a person is looking for someone who would help her achieve financial goals. She's been very good at it even before getting married, and even more now that she's part of Sun Life's ambassadors. They also talked about the businesses they're in like a production company, management and a studio owner in the south of Manila.
Here's the moment when they introduced her, please pardon the shot because there was just a huge pillow of smoke because of the smoke machines on stage.
Ms. Carla Gonzalez-Chong the Sun Life Chief Client Experience and Marketing Officer said it was quite an easy choice to do because Sarah had the same values as their company. She's very passionate about her own goals and futhering their campaign in financial literacy. She knows how important it is which is why she's a great example for those who are starting out their families, or professionals who have been so busy with work, and need that extra security when they get sick, or taking care of their families.
There will be several videos that will be released soon on what their dynamics are as partners for life, showing how they are supporting each other while they go through everyday life. Matteo was so giddy telling us about the little things that Sarah does at home. She cooks, bakes really good croissants and bakes good Tres Leches cake on special occasions.
The videos will be shown on TV, Sun Life's social channels and surely, it'll be out soon so for those AshMatt fans out there, you'll love what's about to come! Hopefully to teach you a thing or two about managing your finances too.
SARAH GERONIMO and Unbox the Holidays with Acer Philippines
Monday, November 21, 2022
Looks like our good friends from Acer Philippines has just launched their Holiday campaign. We got into a festive mood last week as PBB host Robi Domingo started off telling us who's about to perform and she's terribly missed by Popsters, and ordinary folks alike. Yes, she's the one and only Popstar Queen Sarah Geronimo-Guidicelli. But before that, we looked around at what Acer is offering this holiday season.
Executives from Acer and the Queen of Pop Sarah Geronimo took the stage to discuss about the laptops and entertain the crowd that afternoon. The participating devices include the Aspire 3, Aspire Vero, Aspire 5, Swift 3 and Swift 5. Product prices range from Php 28K and Php 88K, so you really have a lot to choose from. The amount of GC's you get depends on the unit you purchase, but max you can have is 8K SM Digital Giftcards.
Sarah was super excited to perform on stage since it's been a while since she has done this outside of studios. She loved it so much, she gave us reason to see that there's another dance craze that will happen very soon.
@kumagcow She missed performing live on stage, here's Sarah Geronimo! #SarahGeronimo #tiktokshowbizreporter #EntertainmentPH ♬ original sound - John Bueno
Thank you Acer Philippines for having us! It was so fun to be there that afternoon!

SARAH GERONIMO and BILLY CRAWFORD Sing "Pusong Pinoy" for Jollibee
Tuesday, June 15, 2021
This 123rd year of celebrating independence couldn't come at an opportune time as the Philippines just like other countries across the world is experiencing the pandemic.
Jollibee knows how hard it is for you, me, and countless Filipinos around the world so they tapped world class performers Sarah Geronimo and Billy Crawford to perform and sing "PUSONG PINOY" to bring hope, instill resilience and encourage the spirit of "bayanihan" despite the hardships around the world, a mark of what it is to be Filipino.
Mr. Francis Flores, Country Marketing Head of Jollibee Foods Corporation says "We want compassion to be highlighted in this video, albeit the tons of challenges that come our way, we make it a point to still be happy, full of joy, something that is instilled in our culture despite modern times. It's what's innate, we should be so proud about our "Pusong Pinoy"!"
Sarah says "For me, I think what "Pusong Pinoy" means is being there to help no matter who needs it. The Filipino trait of being of help for others, being strong, loving, big or small, Filipinos are always there to be of service for others."
Billy adds "We remain humble, even in desperate times. Jollibee gives us joy through "Pusong Pinoy" and let us feel a love that's light and free. It's something that is innate, and priceless."

Married Guy Matteo Guidicelli Swears By Newlywed Starter Pack of Sun Life
Friday, November 20, 2020
![]() |
| Matteo was so fine during our Zoom meeting, telling us about his Sun Life journey now that he's married to Sarah Geronimo. |
Matteo just got married, and yes, he's got plans for that. He's getting it from Sun Life too and calls it the Newly Wed Bundle. We talked about it over a Zoom meeting this evening and it was nice to see the man again after a few months of not seeing each other (feeling close lol).
Did things change?
Matte says "Yes, as I'm budgeting for two people already and you are thinking about beds, your household staff and I enjoy it every single day. I enjoy every moment with my wife. Trust is very important and I think you and your partner should never hide anything, so you become better people together. When I go to work today, it is for my family and my future. My wife is my priority, it is important to have that mindset when you're starting, to be transparent and to start saving right away. To have an investment portfolio with Sun Life, you can discuss that perfectly for your needs."
What do they splurge on?
"We did buy a huge TV, I'll have that on my Youtube video this week. We've been also good plantitos and plantitas. We splurge on plants these days."
How do they spend?
A good balance is important. To make your wife happy is also important, but of course common sense, not OA, a balance with each other. We tell each other if we need it or not. We always put each other in reality.
Kilig
Every single day of being boyfriend and girlfriend, to realize and breathe see that we are husband and wife, working together, it puts a smile on my face seeing that.
Being in Sun Life
Working with them for 5 or 6 years, they educated me that the earlier possible time to invest, the better. If I invested a couple of years ago, it would have been very big. Save a lot, invest, your money will grow.
Len Arboleda of Sun Life says "Matt really practices it. It really a lifetime partnership with Sun Life and we have seen that through the years where he's been with us."
Budgeting
I think it's very important for us to always talk about our finances. Investing wise, we have to make sure we do it with good companies, not to scammers, to do it with a legit company and telling your advisor what you want to achieve.
9 Months with Sarah
It's a blessing, to find someone like her, I am very thankful. Sarah is very talented in baking too, if ever it begins like a business, please buy one ha!
Having Kids
Pray for it next week. We don't know yet, we're not rushing but in God's time it will happen. Diko pa alam how much, the more the merrier!
With Sun Life you feel secure, it's very important. You can start with 5,000 pesos and it will earn in the next few years. When you have kids, you have a fund for them, so we do invest in the right things.
Business
The restaurant is okay. I had two branches so it is challenging. I had to find ways to make it well, we're not doing great but we are surviving because there are people going to our restaurants still.
Do it with passion, do it with love, focus on the things we love doing. We want money to grow, invest, be smart on how you do things and do it with passion. There are great companies out there but I chose Sun Life. My Dad showed me things by example so he didn't have to sit me down and plan things.
Church Wedding
Baka, when the time is right. I hope a vaccine arrives so we can do it. I really hope so.
Bashers
These rescuers and government workers, they are just there for the service of the Filipino people. To receive criticism despite doing their jobs, I don't feel bad, I feel good for what they do, I feel bad with the people who don't understand what it feels to be there. They deserve so much credits.
Newly Wed Bundle (What does the newly wed bundle have? What do you like about it?)
The starter pack is for individuals, each one should be covered. You have to have a separate one for yourself and your wife.
You seem to always have a plan, how do you keep yourself be random, like not everything is planned/ becominng spontaneous.
"I think that is very important with me and Sarah. Yes I have a plan for everything but I do make an effort to do things that are random, thanks for reminding me to do that."
This is not a perfect world. What mistakes have you had in the past and what have you learned from them?
Yes I have had mistakes, nothing in particular but I always make it a point to not do it again in case I get to encounter problems like them again. I learn from them, I think that is important.
Having passion and starting a ton of businesses is hard but when it works, you'll reap a lot of benefits. Work with trusted partners, work with the honest ones and enjoy it. Matteo is a good example of it and he's been doing it with Sun Life for a couple of years, maybe it's time you talk to them via bit.ly/advisormatch or their website sunlife.com.ph or the official Sun Life Philippines Facebook page. Oh by the way, Matteo is also going to be on an I Feel U Christmas Special on December 6, and Masked Singer Pilipinas every Saturday on TV5. See him there!
