Still Dishing Out Freshly Squeezed Content: Orange Magazine Celebrates 14 Years!

I've had the opportunity to know about Orange Magazine a couple years ago, well decades, maybe even more. It's been 14 years of showcasing some of the freshest and orangey celebrities, companies, brands, and they've really done well in making sure to put their message across. 

Orange Magazine Editor Jeman Bunyi Villnueva has been a friend. One that you can talk frankly with if you're in a rut. You can say we're some of the more experienced bloggers in the industry together with a few common friends who's been here the longest. Every year, he's managed to celebrate their milestones and showed how much he's thankful for those who have supported his website and social channels. 

 

In his 14th year, we were all invited to his gathering at Joy Nostalg Hotel and Suites (Managed by Accor). At The Roof, they had a program featuring Filipino Canadian artists DK Tijam, DK Talents Keyleigh Cerezo, Keeana Cerezo and local acoustic guy Destiny Palisoc who opened the event. DK Tijam by the way will be having a concert at the Music Museum on August 16th with power belter Dessa and Troy Laureta. They will also be joined by Antoinette Targa, Chelsea Star and Bella Magbag plus other surprise guests. They properly call it "By Request: Your Playlist Live on Stage", and they'll be performing some of their OPM favorites plus a few RnB and Pop numbers which is equally exciting!

Orange Magazine has been given accolades and recognition from different bodies. Jeman was a bit emotional thanking the PR agencies, brands that have returned the favor and made their presence felt during the occasion, they even sent some goodies plus a few prizes for blogger/influencer guests amounting to almost 250K to be given just on this day.

"Orange Magazine and I would like to thank their sponsors Beautéderm (for all the beauty products they sent), PLDT Home, AirAsia, airasia MOVE (who gave local and international flights to lucky winners), Grab (who gave Grab credits), Narr8 PH, M360 PR+Activations Agency, LG Philippines (who gave LG products for lucky participants), DITO Telecommunity, foodpanda, EON PH, TikTok Shop, RLC Residences (who also gave Robinsons GC's), realme (who gave audio devices), AGENTS, International Persuasion Specialist, Launch & Meet, maya, COMCO Southeast Asia, Midea, LadyBug, FuentesManila Public Relations, GCash, Eggshell PR, Metrobank, Bridges Creative Ideas & Strategies, OPPO, Doogee, HONOR Philippines, Buensalido Public Relations, Stratworks, Dominguez Marketing Communications Inc., Pau Bautista, Potato Corner (who gave potato corner GC's), Cherry Philippines (who gave the Air Purifier which I won), Kingsford Hotel Manila (for us who won the hotel stay!), Grand Westside Hotel, Ardent Communications, BrandComm, Grupo Agatep, Mang Inasal, Full Circle Communications, Precious PR, WSP, Tai Chi Rub & VCO Liniments, Moringa Vita, JG Superstore (who gave some tripods to lucky ones), Manila Marriott Hotel, Novotel Manila Araneta City, ibis Styles Manila Araneta City, Centaur Marketing, SceneStealer, SAFC, Spark It Philippines, DMNA, Home Credit PH, Michael Cruz (of the Home Credit PH peeps), Corner Magazine PH, Shigetsu, Kleenfant, Mikana, ALPAS Consultancy, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Moonton (who gave us lucky ones Diamonds for the game), Lorem Ipsum Consulting Inc., Whip Public Relations & Communications, Lilee & Kukael by Gus Villa, City of Dreams Manila, Phillippine Integrated Advertising Agency (PIAA), The Bellevue Manila, Nawa Wellness, Calatagan, ASUS, Swissotel Clark, Widus Hotel Clark, MSL Influence Impact, Greenwich, Goldilocks, The Farm at San Benito, A-List & Partners Consulting Group Inc., Pascual Laboratories, Ascorbic Acid Poten-Cee (which gave their best products to lucky ones), BrandIt, SKECHERS (gave a pair of shoes to Rod Magaru), MODE DEVi Media Inc., Chuck Gomez, Sip & Chug Coffee (owned by Sai Montes, had good drip coffee!), Pix Republik/Reel Republik Studios (for our official photos), Ogilvy, Epson, DigitalHog, Reneue Beauty and Wellness, CAT PR, Rain Ferdinand, IPR, Utterly Techie, Renjie Tolentino Photography (a good friend who also did shots for the event, he does it professionally)."

Now, he's got a whole team he calls Team Orange who helps him with events and coverage. They're pretty good people. Jeman knows how to also discern folks, and to this day, he's still going to be talking a lot, writing a lot, and connect to even more people. I only wish him all the best, because that's exactly what he has been doing. Plus he wants a love life happen soon, maybe that would make it complete. 

Congratulations to Orange Magazine! From us at KUMAGCOW.COM (meaning me), we'll be cheering you on to reach even greater milestones in the coming years!

Kathryn Bernardo Launches KathBernardo.com

It was a sunny, clear afternoon when we got invited to Kathryn Bernardo's website launch. She arrived surprised with throngs of fans, supporters and fan club administrators already having sweets, cakes and candies that day and she's brought good news. Kathryn Bernardo is now the proud owner of http://www.KathBernardo.com. She says starting now, this will be her new venue so her fans would be able to get to know her, her dreams, her aspirations, and things that she haven't really posted on her other social media accounts. This will make it a bit more personal because she's asking her fans now to register on the site so she'd know the person behind pseudonyms. Aside from that, she'll also be posting behind the scene photos and videos from their hit show Pangako Sayo where she stars together with teen king Daniel Padilla.

Kathryn will also treat this as her diary so she could tell her most loved fans how she really feels in certain subjects, about love, perhaps relationships. She's also looking forward to reply to selected social media posts, one that would be a little surprise because she'll personally choose and search for them all throughout the web. She's very eager to do that. Aside from the personal stuff, you'll also get to see glimpses of her family, the people behind the camera and the countless supporters which she dedicates this to. She'll also share her favorite life hacks, like brownies in a mug, things to do at home and small things which she enjoys the most. 

She says "In this website, you'll see things behind the scenes, our kulitan moments, plus my Kathcakes. Every week I'll pick 5 questions that catches my attention and I'll answer them myself. I'll tell you my childhood dreams, answer random questions, you can ask me anything and I'll try and answer it. We'll also feature fans, I'll reply on the account too, like this week, I gave words of encouragement to a fan who was a little conscious of her cheeks. Then there's another boy who just loves me and I replied. If you want to suggest anything on the site, just let us know so we can try it out. This website is more personal, if you don't want to see me as an artist, this is where you can talk to me, see simple things, it's not like instagram that is too crowded. I will personally reply to you as much as I can.The website will also get very detailed stories, if you see parts of it on Instagram, you'll see the whole story on my site. I don't usually do that on Instagram but this time, you'll see more videos of me. The site will also be moderated so you're sure this will all be just pure good vibes. I know there will be people that would try to bash, but we're going to take care of that since we also have a moderator on the site. I don't want to use the term blogger, maybe just expect me to be more active here, daily updates... That I can try and promise. Maybe for now, we'll have the comment section open but perhaps soon we can try and put up a forum, but of course it's going to be controlled because it's going to be filled with positivity!" 

If you love Kathryn Bernardo, you'll love the new KathBernardo.com. Make sure you visit the website so you can fall in love with her again!

Marjorie Uy Re-Launches LivingMarjorney.com

This afternoon, I rushed to Greenwich SM North Edsa to be with some blogger friends and Marjorie Uy, author of LivingMarjorney.com. She's turning a new page and introducing a fresher, simpler website that she'll be calling Woman In Digital to replace her former one - so she'd be a but easier to remember, lovelier to campaign for seo purposes too. The rebranding comes after new Digital Marketing Agency Digital Circles will be handling her together with her husband Jonel Uy as the firm's head.

Marjorie says "This has been in the plans for quite a while now and it's just this year that it materialized. You'll see better personal, home and living, lifestyle, events and review posts from me in this new domain. This event was just a simple  thanksgiving for everyone, readers and brands who have been supporting me all these years. We'll probably venture into videos too later on as we get serious about what I enjoy most - all these years of blogging!" and I can't wait to see what's in store for her this 2015!

Congratulations Marj! Cheers to Woman In Digital!

Ciao!

Find, Tweet Your Perfect Home from Property24 Philippines and Win!

The property sector in the Philippines is really getting busy. The boom everyone is anxiously waiting for is actually happening now, whilst some don't even know it. The economy is improving and people are actually earning relatively more than the previous years. Investing in this area has always been a really good thing to do, a bit of frustration comes when the issue of trust and confidence comes into play. We're talking about a great amount of money, if that wouldn't be something to be careful about then I don't know what else would. In the Philippines, there's one place everyone trusts when it comes to getting property online. 

Have you heard of www.Property24.com.ph? I've written about them a couple of months back here. Backed by one of the most trusted online selling portals in the world OLX.PH, Property24 has been able to establish itself as the go to resource for finding House and Lots, Condominiums, Apartments, Farms, Commercial and Industrial properties, Developments and Foreclosed properties in the Philippines. It also covers some developed African countries, listed some major cities in the Philippines and they even ask you if you want to see them all too.

The site can also accommodate and refine your search if you have a specific budget to work with just by indicating the minimum and maximum price. They can also indicate how many rooms, bathrooms they plan to have and the type of property they are looking for. As for the quality of listings, Property24 makes sure you won't be wasting time seeing unverified ones as everything goes through a strict screening process and applies the same strategies in other countries since they've been doing this for years now. They also employ point systems so you get to see reputable ones from those who are not. For brokers, agencies or  developers, this would be a dream too because you don't have to go out that much in the sun or rain in selling or renting properties anymore. Just imagine, 16 Million views a month would expose your listings and your brands with your target market. They'd also be cross posting this to OLX.PH, be seen in proprietary apps in iOS and Android. It will definitely spell your success. This would also be perfect for those planning to transfer to non flooding areas which we've seen these past few days.

To make your Property24 experience even better, the number 1 property website is launching a Twitter promo. You can get the chance to win an overnight stay in a 5-star hotel, isn't that neat? All you need to do is Follow the official Property24 Philippines Twitter account @Property24PH, find your perfect home in www.Property24.com.ph and tweet "I found #MyPerfectHome here: (URL of the listing)" and tag @Property24PH on Twitter. Your privacy settings must be set to public so they could see it. You can also tweet 10 times a day. This means that the more entries you make, the more chances of winning. They will also be giving away 5 consolation prizes aside from that 5-star hotel stay mentioned earlier. Just read the fine print below and you're good to go.

Finding your dream home shouldn't be complicated. It's easy when you use the website, iOS or Android app by Property24. I've used this a ton of times when friends ask me to find them a place near my neighborhood. If you're in the hunt for one, maybe this is the opportune time to do it. Investment wise, it's always a smart choice. It only takes a few minutes to see why Property24 is the number one resource to find your dream home, take a tour and don't just take my word for it.

Living in the Philippines: Find it on Property24.com.ph

Selling your pre loved items has never been easy. Dominant buy and sell website in the Philippines SULIT.COM.PH has unfolded another feather to its hat as they conquer the real estate sector. It has been one of the highest in terms of traffic in sulit.com.ph and the time of partnering with one of the world's best PROPERTY24.COM.PH is but great timing. The companies are all part of the multinational Naspers Group. The company doesn't just engage in selling property but also holds all the logistics behind that as well says JP Farinha CEO of Property24 who came all the way from South Africa.

Property24.com.ph says quality scores will be given to brokers and properties, some automatically penalizing and ranking them on the site. The local site will also be customized according to general brokers needs. Although they admit that they will need data and algorithm that will make the site and its features better, they are going to work on it. Sulit.com.ph will not abandon its current posts, it will still have that together with property24's Business to consumer features while they cater to private listings verified through their current systems.

 

Steve Santos Property24.com.ph's Property Manager in the Philippines says "We see sectors growing further and the housing and real estate loans are on an uptrend. We want to concentrate on local residential properties and listings. We have sections on the site intended only for developers , design and lifestyle so we get more input from real people who rent or buy on the website. We also have mobile apps that is easy to use and connected with the sulit.com.ph."

Definitely something to look forward to and it can help pinoys get that dream place in a single click! We tried out the app and the site. It was easy to find rented properties and real estate finds in Quezon City. It was also easy to find some in other places. I guess this will be the best thing to have if we're going look for properties we can afford or dream of. Just click it!

Philip the Lifestyle Guy Launches New Website!

 

If you've been watching this show on TV5, you know you've got something good going on when you catch a glimpse of Philip Abadicio the Lifestyle Guy. He's been heading and making waves on the lifestyle field making each experience understandable and reachable by the masses. Now, there's no reason to be unsmart about where to go, what to do and what to eat here and outside Metro Manila. 

He's given the viewers some of the best recommendations and celebrity interviews and he's in the mood to level it up! A daily show was probably in his mind but since this show's only shown on TV5 Sundays from 11am to 12 noon, what better way to show the rest of the things he's doing but by putting up his own website PhilipAbadicio.com. Now, the Lifestyle show for lifestylers will become more apt for the general public. It's live and always updated with the latest surprises and even can make you win prizes with just a few presses, who wouldn't like that right?

The launch was also hosted by WhenInManila.com's Vince Golangco and of course Philip Abadicio himself. 

The site was also made and designed by a real life Filipino boy wonder Carlo Ocab. He's the famous "kidblogger" who got the top spot at age 13 owning the term "Make Money Online". He now does online branding, profitable blogging and SEO work at a very young age. He now also administers the PhilipAbadicio.com website after just talking 2 weeks with Philip. Pretty promising eh?

The event happened at Tempura Japanese Grill in Tomas Morato. They are famous for the Ramen Burger, but when I tasted it I think they need to work on what they want to achieve. It wasn't that good. Everyone else was telling me it was bland but I think they can re-engineer this and become something special. Right Tempura? :) I just had to say this part.

There were reps from Grabtaxi who even treated us cash back for cab rides home. Apologies to the young lady who I didn't get to shoot that afternoon. She was very nice. I also use GrabTaxi to travel within city limits because it's the safest. You get to know who's driving for you and people can track you via social media shares if you arrived in your destination or not. Plus the apps' really easy. Guy above is from NY Theraspine clinic who does western chiropractic practice right in the heart of Tomas Morato. I would want to use their services because I do have problems in that area.. wish I could visit their clinic in Dr. Lazcano Street corner Tomas Morato soon and try out their services. Can't recommend them til I try it right? :)

This young lady sang the jingle of the show. She's Tala from Skyrojam. You can check out the rest of her work at her Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/skyrojam. Pretty and good.

It's things like these that we've experienced in an afternoon, so if I were you... check out the website http://www.philipabadicio.com and check out the show every Sunday 11am to 12 noon on TV5. Win more prizes, live a Filipino lifestyle better than what you imagined.

The Perfect SME Partner - Get Online With WebsiteExpress.Biz!

Small and medium enterprises comprise the majority of businesses in the country. The eve of technology not only requires them to have online channels in order to survive, but they have no choice. Consumers now are on these avenues and if the market calls for it, they need to follow suit.

Ryan feels left out LOL

If you don't do it... you'll feel left out. No website, no online transactions means no sufficient income. If that is the case, your business will suffer, no one will buy your goods and services. Now what will an ordinary businessman do when he doesn't have knowledge on how to put up a website of his own? He can hire magicians, clowns, fire breathing men throwing spears at each other... or maybe hire freelance web designers but in a year or two he probably won't be able to find him ever again if you want changes to your site. What would you do?

The answer...

WebsiteExpress.Biz! This kiosk we found on the ground floor of Shangri-la Edsa Mall (in front of Sun Cellular/Globe Shops) looks quite bare but it packs a punch! Just drop by and ask about it. Grab menus from your restaurant, the list of products on your shop and the amount of workforce you have in your personnel. Hand it over to the WebsiteExpress.Biz people and expect a true blue mockup in as little as two hours. That's just the tip of the iceberg because if you want customized services on your website, they can do that in a jiffy. Now, there's no need for businessmen to learn HTML codes, PHP or arrays... just tell them how you want it and they can build an even better one if you avail their packages. No need to worry about hosting, codes or joomla because they'll provide you with everything you need to manage your site quite easy.

Now that answers your question. Don't hesitate because with them you've got a team of programmers and web developers on stand by 24/7 providing world class services so you won't have any hitches if the time comes that your customers have to access your websites. They're all responsive too so any mobile device can see your site the way it should. Isn't that perfect?

If you want to check out their latest works, just visit their official website

Click on the samples and see how it's already got so much impact on other businesses. What does it have to take to get ahead? You've got to go online, and THEY make it easy. That's it pansit! =P
