Kiana's "Sweet Release" to be seen at Gary V Pure Energy: One Last Time Concert

The upcoming Gary V Pure Energy: One Last Time concert that has been extended this May 10th will be extra special as his daughter Kiana will be performing her newest single called "Sweet Release" on the same night. The last time I saw Kiana performed was during the Avon event where she stamped why she's a force to be reckoned with on stage. She's quite unique, has a different set of vocal styles, and is pretty talented in songwriting too. This particular single though is co-written by Rosemarie Tan and Philippe Dela Pena, and made sure it'll be danceable, more catchy, which will be quite a feat to perform on stage on the 10th. 

Kiana attributes this to her best friend and stayed very personal, and wanted this to be more pop, done in Filipino, which she's been doing recently (so watch out for more Tagalog songs from this lady). Kiana says "With this recent Tagalog songs I've been making, I'm really having so much fun! If all else gets done smoothly, I might be able to release a few this year or in 2025."

Currently, Kiana is based in the US and has been successfully performing in different events abroad. She's been heavily cheered miles away by Mom and Dad, and still won a few awards in the PH.

Dad Gary is so proud of what she has accomplished and how she got to draw her own path in the industry. Her performing on stage in the concert would be a good time for him to bond, and miss her, he gets to perform with her while celebrating 40 years in the entertainment industry.

The May 10th date was just something that was teased during the April 27 date, as there were still a LOT of people who wanted to watch it. Proceeds from this will go to Shining Light Foundation and will benefit the needy through this christian organization. There's lots of things you can look forward to in the concert, which I can only describe as WORLD CLASS!

Back to Back with BEKO and Hitachi Appliances

It's a nice day to celebrate comfort at home with two of the most impressive brands in home appliances, Europe's number 1 BEKO and our favorite, ever reliable Hitachi.

Arel Atakol the Regional Director for Beko Asia Pacific welcomed us and said "I would like to tell you a few things about Beko. Our new line of free standing cookers, and our new jewel Hitachi Refrigerators and Washing Machines. Please feel free to check out what we have in our showroom. By the way, we have recently acquired Whirlpool EU, Russia and Africa. New brands means we are getting stronger. Hitachi is also the leading Japanese brand in the PH. This gives us a strong presence in the region, we hope to have your help to continue and introduce us in Filipino homes."

Signature Series in both gas and induction versions

Becca Aguilar from Beko Philippines adds "We all love to cook, to eat and want a Beko cooker. Throughout history, the way we do things has changed the way we keep and cook food. Beko is one of the largest manufacturers of cooking appliances. Last year, we have been able to get 4.6 Million orders, and since food and family is important in the Philippines, we know Beko can improve the cooking experience in every household. Our Signature Series has Gas Safety Device that automatically turns off when things happen, it also has a multi glass door for safety, it also has a telescopic pull out shelf so you can take food out with ease everytime you need to cook. Our Pro Style Series can even do more especially in the modern kitchen setting. It has highly efficient burners, accommodate cast iron pans, multi function ovens with twin fans, consistent flames, a rotisserie and digital touch control. You can choose models that have what you need in the kitchen because Beko has different types and features. The top cavity for much of their new stand alone cookers are electric grills, but other ones can function individually as ovens.

Here's a short tour of the showroom this morning!

For those who don't know, Arcelik Hitachi has over 50 years of experience in appliances across the globe. They live by quality especially for refrigerators because they want detailed designs, efficient products coming out of their manufacturing plants. They want convenience and ease which is why they made it automatic to open and close refrigerator doors (the new models). Their appliances make food stay fresh, by the power of vacuum. It also keeps nutrition in, energy efficient and operate on low noise. The dual fan cooling also makes it efficient in consumption of power and keeps your refrigerator cool longer. It also has a fresh select case so you can keep fresh products or meat fresh. 

Hitachi also has washing machines, front load or top load, the Eclipse series is angled for easy and convenient use. It has hygienic programs to make it easier for you to wash your clothes, the machine maintained, and help prevent molds. It also eases work overall because clothes turn out with less wrinkle and less tangle after drying. 

If you're looking for new home appliances, Beko and Hitachi has a lot to offer. Go follow their social channels for more information about their products and see why Filipinos and other countries trust them.

With BEKO, you get more what you pay for!

Get To Know Your PNP Chief Rommel Francisco Marbil

With word getting round that he's getting a lot of unnecessary detractors (and fake news), the humble PNP Chief took time to talk to the media over coffee this evening. This was certainly an opportune time to get to know PNP Chief Rommel Francisco Marbil, and his plans for the police force.

The PNP Chief reiterated the role of the PNP, particularly to enforce laws and prevent crimes before it even happens. He also added the importance of public safety, giving us security, and the need of the support of LGU's... and the whole community.

At this day and age, cyber crime is quite rampant. He is adamant that your PNP still is relevant at this time. He treats these not as problems, but challenges that can be overcome by the organization by facing it head on. Syndicates are different now, which is why they continue to improve the way they do things in the force.

Here's the short talk we had with him over coffee and Beef Turnovers (made by the good people of Dark Roast Coffee House).

He also wants to further improve response times, a relatively improved 911 emergency network, have CCTV connections also centralized so they could also prevent crimes with it. He also doesn't believe in the term "War on Drugs", a war has an end and his is a continuous system to fight it instead. He deems this isn't just a problem for the Philippines, but other countries too, and they're not letting them off easy.

The PNP Chief and the whole organization would want you and your family to go home safe after a day's hard work. You also need to be protected even in your sleep as cyber attacks happen at any time of the day.

We often just see him in police beat interviews, and this way to get to know him was a good way to know how personal he's treating things are in the PNP. Change don't come overnight, but from what we're seeing, he's making efforts to do it for Filipinos. 

He knows we have a lot of concerns right now, but here's hoping the good man and the whole Philippine National Police get to resolve things... one issue at a time.

Andrea Brillantes for Dear Face - Beauty Milk Melon

 

I first saw Dear Face CEO Jonah Sison-Ramos on TikTok actually selling her products months ago. I had the impression of a hard working woman, no doubt, because she was personally selling the products, which says a lot about her as an entrepreneur.

She's successful, and with the way her products have reached people have been really surprising. She heard Senior High star Andrea Brillantes was already consuming a lot even before she got this endorsement. Andrea apparently was already manifesting it, and got word she's the one to show you how Beauty Milk Melon has become part of her lifestyle.

Blythe was always into self care, and her love for drinking milk was something she never got out of. Beauty Milk Melon was something she adored having before she sleeps. If she didn't get to have it night time, she'll have it in the morning of the next day. She swears it gives her a different feeling before a shoot because of the collagen, vitamins and minerals this contains. Here's the event on video, please enjoy!

Andrea and Dear Face would want you to take wellness a go now that they've got Beauty Milk Melon out in the market. If you would want to get one, there's various channels of Dear Face on socials that you can get it from. Albeit being sold out most of the time, be patient, because a healthy lifestyle awaits with the Beauty Milk Melon. 

Congratulations Andrea, you really deserve this!
