New breed, new band but same blood, these are Jerome Abalos children, the SOLABROS.COM. Brothers who are born and raised in the urban neighborhood of Mandaluyong City, Philippines. In case you forgot who Jerome Abalos is, he is just one of the many multi-talented and multi-awarded musician in the country and he is well known for the monster hit song "Larawang Kupas".  And for those who favors the thrash metal sound, he is the co-founder and frontman of the band "Death By Stereo" and the progressive rock band "Majesty."

Jerome Abalos released 3 solo albums and 2 studio albums with his band. Death by Stereo’s self titled debut album was certified gold record while his solo self-titled debut album featuring the monster hit song, LARAWANG KUPAS, was a certified platinum.

Nurtured by music from the moment they were conceived, Sean, Zack, and Shane grew up with the melodic sound of the keyboards, the ripping sound of heavy metal guitar solos, and the thunder-like beat of drums and percussions. Raised and mentored by a multi-talented, multi genre musical artist of a father and fueled by their mutual interest in rock and roll, heavy metal, progressive rock, and alternative rock,Solabros.com can be considered as one of the rising stars in the Philippines, be it local or in international music scene.

The band was formed in 2015 by singer, songwriter, and keyboard player Sean Abalos and his younger brother, lead guitarist and singer Zachary Jeymz. From the moment Sean and Zack held their instruments and started playing, it was clear that they had a future in the local and international music scene. The band was soon joined by the band’s drummer Shane Steven, the youngest of the Abalos brothers, who gave the band his powerful Lars Ulrich-like drumming style. “Initially, we just wanted to be a band,” recalled Sean. “But when Shane officially joined us and started making all those power beats and double basses, our paradigm shifted and our aspiration changed overnight.We now wanted, not just to be any band, we now wanted to be among the best bands locally and overseas.”

Though with different personalities, Sean, Zack, and Shane’s talents blended and clicked. In 2016, Solabros.com joined their first “Battle of the Bands,” their first public appearance. Since then, the trio had regular gigs in several bars in Manila and Luzon.
Sean Francis Abalos (vocals, keyboards) He is currently finishing his bachelor’s degree at Jose Rizal University in Mandaluyong City. After harnessing his God-given singing talent, Sean was trained on keyboards and has been loving his new skill ever since.
Shane Steven Abalos (drums, vocals) the youngest of the Abalos brothers. At 14 years old, Shane is currently a freshman in high school. With his passion for drums and percussion, Shane was initially trained to play the drums by his father. Shane focused with his training and has dramatically improved his drums and vocals skills. At only 14 years old and only a year of playing, Shane can now be considered a drummer par excellence.
Zachary Jeymz Abalos (guitars, vocals) He was exposed to musical at a very young age. He is a currently in junior high school. With the encouragement of his dad, Zack trained himself to play the guitar, starting with acoustic, he leveled up almost overnight and has since mastered the electric guitar. At only 16 years old, and only a year of playing, Zack has become a guitar phenom. His skills were way beyond his years.

The Queen of the Universe is now also the Queen of the Century, Century Tuna that is, the country’s number one tuna! Pia Wurtzbach – ever gorgeous TV host, model, and Miss Universe 2015 no less – joins Century Tuna’s outstanding roster of endorsers, as she appears in an all-new TVC that’s oozing with sexiness and elegance!
“We’re thrilled to have Pia Wurtzbach in the Century Tuna family,” beams Greg Banzon, Century Pacific Foods, Inc. General Manager. “Pia is indeed ‘The Queen of the Century,’ the epitome of a mutli-faceted woman who excels in a variety of fields while staying fit and sexy.”

Pia first got bitten by the acting bug at the tender age of four, which later led her to join the Star Circle Batch 11, appearing in a string of television shows and movies. But her real break came when, in her third attempt, she entered the Binibining Pilipinas Pageant in 2015, the stepping stone to her most glorious achievement thus far: bagging the highly coveted Miss Universe 2015 crown – following in the heels of Gloria Diaz in 1969 and Margie Moran in 1973 – in what was a most contentious competition.
Together with, of course, her ravishing looks---her poise, style, and grace—her talents and intelligence, it is Pia’s commitment to self-discipline and physical fitness — just look at her lean and Ultimate Superbody! — that brought her into the Century Tuna fold.
In fact, with a help of a personal trainer, Pia heads to the gym regularly, where she engages in a combination of planking (the best exercise for a flat, toned stomach), tricep pull-downs (for well-defined arms as well as shapely biceps and triceps), as well as squats and lunges (for firm and strong looking legs).
Naturally, a healthy, balanced, yet satisfying diet comes hand in hand with her exercise routine. And for this, there’s nothing else but Century Tuna — the 100% winner in tuna — of which Pia has been a long time fan. “I have a busy schedule and always on the go so when I do have the time to grocery shop or prepare a meal, I make it a priority,” relates Pia, who, unbeknownst to many, studied culinary arts. “I like to enjoy food that keeps my energy levels stable, like Century Tuna.”





Because of Century Tuna’s versatility, where it can be used in a myriad of yummy and nutritious dishes, Pia need not deprive herself while becoming the ultimate superbod. After all, Century Tuna is made of 100% real tuna, rich in Omega 3 DHA, which helps you achieve a healthy and 100% winner superbody, just like hers!

“I’ve always been a Century Tuna girl! And this body you see is made possible by Century,” Pia continues.
No doubt, Pia Wurtzbach has become an inspiration to many and a true role model, the perfect embodiment of Century Tuna’s winning ways and her role as the new Queen of the Century! Hail to the Queen!

The best way to celebrate birthdays is to go with a bang! Not the bang of firecrackers but the bang of having a lot of things to celebrate. Yes, and 7-Eleven has made its celebration a day of many things to enjoy. It's a happy 7-Elven Day Celebration!

Perhaps 7-Eleven is one of the convenient store that is well loved by many and for the kids who grew up in the 90s might say one thing about 7-Eleven... it's SLURPEE! Yes, in my generation this store has made every youngster feel how it is to enjoy soda differently and slurpee is what made it possible, a brain freeze.

Of course other than slurpee there are other treats to enjoy, an easy grab of hotdog sandwich and other tummy filling treats. That's what makes this store appealing to youngsters, an fast snack for a hungry tummy.

Last July 11was the biggest day for the store as it celebrates its birthday. Celebrating another milestone as it turns another year older. As part of its celebration, 7-Eleven is giving back something to its loyal customers and the communities they serve through a series of concerts, promos and more treats starting its day of celebration. This is their way of giving thanks for all the support and continued patronage.
Starting with the treats, 7-Eleven's CLiQQ Every Day! Deals were launched on that day and to start the treat of deals. CLiQQ users can choose 1 out of 3 mystery boxes available starting July 11! Products up for grabs changes daily so customers can choose from a wide range of daily deals. CLiQQ users may redeem the product within 24 hours and claim them within the month.


Slurpee x Big Bite Rock Back to School Combo is another treat that customers can enjoy with 7-Eleven. Students get the first taste of 7 Eleven's overflowing treat starting with a special deal with the ultimate budget back to school combo for slurpee and Big Bite, only for P49 (save 5) from July 5 to August 15, 2017. A portion of the Sales for this promo will be donated to the student council of 8 selected colleges/universities.

Our favorite Kapitbahay is also prepared a concert last July 11 to celebrate their Happy 7 Eleven Day at Eton Centris dubbed as Rock Back to School Concert which I attended. The concert featuring acts like 6cyclemind, Moonstar88, Gracenote and many more. Aside from thi, the concert series will go to different colleges and universities in Metro Manila including Adamson University, Pamantasang Lungsod ng Maynila, University of Santo Tomas and more.


To further amp up the excitement, there will be e-raffles for the chance to win 24 Bose Soundsport earphones, another 24 winners of Bose  Soundlink speakers, and 5 winners of backstage passes to the  Rock Back To School Concert Series.

Right before the big day for 7-Eleven there were other activities and treats were run. On their 7-Eleven LV Locsin Store and all Bacolod and Iloilo stores they had a treat for Slurpee and City blends lovers where customer enjoyed the refreshing Slurpee and coffee together with a friend for free. More of like buy one and share one.

Another activity was the Cup of Thankful: Calligraphy Event which happened in 7-Eleven LV Locsin Store where customers had their message appreciation written in the most artful way possible with  renowned calligraphist Carl Chua.

As 7 Eleven celebrates being part of every Filipino's daily live, 7 Eleven also reached out to our brothers and sisters who were affected by the conflict in Marawi. Donation Boxes were deployed in all corporate 7 Eleven stores in Mindanao.
Employees and customers had the opportunity to share their blessings to help the victims by providing them with food and other in kind donations. This charitable drive started last June and will last until July 11.

Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC) also partnered with PhilSeven Foundation Inc. (PFI) and Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) to support the 7 Eleven Global Environmental Campaign by sustaining a tree planting project at the Marikina Watershed at the Brgy. Calawis, Antipolo City.

Employees get to volunteer, along with community to enhance two hectares of an agroforesty side through the planting of 1550 fruit-bearing trees. With this activity, 7 Eleven hopes to improve the biodiversity of the Marikina Watershed and provide at least 20 households with additional income.

Pioneering Convenience Retailing

The roots of the 7 Eleven we know and love today can be traced back to 1927, 7 Eleven began when an employee of Southland Ice Company in Dallas started selling milk, eggs and bread for the ice dock, and operated 7am and 11pm.

7 Eleven is the world's largest convenience retail chain that operates, franchises, and licenses in more thatn 61,000 stores worldwide, and over 2,000 stores in the Philippines. The purveyor in convenience retailing adds two new stores every two hours to their worldwide operations.



There were so many treats that we can enjoyed from our Kapitbahay, 7-Eleven. They got promos, treats and stuff for their customer as their way of saying thank you.

So as the day closes to its sunset Big Bite and Slurpee is there to cheer your day up.
Get your doze of treats from 7-Eleven and if you're from the 90s relived the experience.
