Sexy, beautiful and alluring actresses ensembles the casts of ABAY BABES. This is VIVA Films' latest offering to movie goers this September. It's time to feast your eyes as the movie brings together Cristine Reyes, Kylie Verzosa, Nathalie Hart, Meg Imperial, and Roxanne Barcelo, who are all oozing with sexiness and pizzazz. Discover these 5 characters of ABAY Babes.



Along with the visual treat is a story that has a right mix of fun and intrigue to captivate all audiences.


Emerald, Ruby and Perla secretly joke that Goldie might just be making this all up. And when they can’t see any videos or pictures of the groom, Zack, the three start to take their joke seriously. As if their skepticism is not enough, their past issues against one another are also reopened. At a time when friendship and love are supposed to be celebrated, will doubt and rivalry get the better of them?


Playing the role of Emerald is Nathalie Hart who entered showbiz in 2008 through ABS-CBN’s Star Magic. In May 2018, she was the cover of the final print issue of FHM. Emerald has the alias “Bicol Express” because, according to her, she is the hottest among her friends. She works as a commercial model.


Ruby, the class topnotcher back in high school and is now a doctor, is played by Cristine Reyes. She is called “Pili Nuts” because, ultimately, guys would choose her beauty over all others. (Pili is the Tagalog for choose.) Cristine shared in an interview that she enjoyed jamming with the girls between takes. Her last film was a family drama, making this comedy film really fun to do.


Perla, who is called “Mt. Mayon” because of its perfect shape, just like her figure, is played by Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa. She has appeared in the movies “Ang Panday” and “Kasal”, but this is her first leading role. “I have this desire to be really good at something,” Kylie once said in an interview. “I want to be good at acting, not being an artista.”


Goldie, the class clown in the movie, is played by Roxanne Barcelo who is also the funniest one in the cast. Goldie is given the moniker, “Abaca” (fiber, in English), because she is the toughest of them all. In real life, Roxanne has both the toughness and the talents (like singing and hosting) that are necessary to last in the world of show business.


Jade, the videographer who will document the girls’ road trip to the wedding venue, is played by Meg Imperial. A recent IG post of Meg is captioned “Once you become fearless, life becomes limitless.” Indeed, Meg’s career is flourishing because she is open to doing different roles.


ABAY BABES also stars Tom Rodriguez, Marco Gumabao, Mark Bautista, Candy Pangilinan and many more. Directed by Don Cuaresma, the movie will open on September 19 in cinemas nationwide. From VIVA Films.

Getting ready and getting excited, perhaps that's what most people feel whenever there's an out of town activity of the company. For Filipino workers, it is always a chance to get out of the office and leave the papers on the desk. Not only that it’s a getaway from our work routine in the office but it is a chance for you to explore, learn, network and enjoy the company of workers in the same industry. No paper works to hunt you for a while, only learning and development, but of course don’t forget the leisure part.

There are things that should be considered when attending an out of town conferences. This will not only keep you organized bu will let you enjoy the benefits of being out of the office. It will also help you in managing your time, resources and schedule. Time should be allotted on this because out of town conferences are not just a ride away from home but sometimes it is a fly away from home. So, if you forgot something it will only ruined opportunity and your fun time afterwards.

To escape the horror of forgetting things for the conferences here are some things to remember in preparing for an out of town conference.

1. Be sure that you are fully registered in the conference. This will keep you away from the hassle of missing your name on the conference itself. If there are required documents to bring like the print out of the registration, IDs or passport, make sure to prepare and secure them.
2. Make sure to book your hotel accommodations ahead of time. Prefer hotels that are nearer to the conference venue. Much better if it is within the venue itself but of course if you or your company is trying to cut expenses it would be better to have the average hotels with almost the same amenities and services.
3. Budget or pocket money is one of the must have and should also be prepared ahead of time. Out of town means expenses. Even though registration fees, accommodations, and some other expenses are shouldered by your company, still, you need to have your own budget to spend for pasalubong and other souvenir gift items. Make sure to save up before the conference date.
4. Bring the right amount of clothing and appropriate dress for the conference. You don’t have to exhaust yourself in carrying more luggage. Essentials and personals should be considered. For the ladies it’s your privilege.
5. Gadgets to capture the moment and for your documentation. It is always great to have photos in every conference that you attended, it’s more of a remembering the experience and jotting down the learning.

All these are just suggestions to prepare you for that out of town conference getaway. Just like this coming October 10 to 12, 2018 the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) will be having its 55th Annual Conference at the ASEAN Convention, Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ), Clarkfield, Pampanga.

"There are no bad people, only bad circumstances" this is perhaps one of the lines that I find interesting in the movie and it is true in my own opinion. People are created good and the only thing that made them bad is the circumstances that are laid to them. They may choose the right decision or the wrong ones, depending on the situation.

"Along With The Gods" is a Korean fantasy action movie that is directed by Kim Yong-hwa based on a webtoon created by Joo Ho-min. Accordingly, the movie "Along With The Gods" is shot as one but was presented in two parts that made the second one a sequel. Just like the movie Lord of the Rings which they filmed the entire trilogy at once and presented it separately. For the "Along With The Gods", The Two Worlds  was the first and the second was the recent The Last 49 Days.

It's really hard to review movies that are in parts because in my case I have not watched the first part which makes me clueless of what was everything is all about. But of course a good movie will always give you a good insight if it is presented beautifully and vividly.     

In this film "Along With Gods: The Last 49 Days" revealed an interesting truth about the characters' past. Before they became guardians, they were humans. This delivers an interesting twist in the story.

If they assist 49 souls get their reincarnations in a millennium, the three Afterlife Guardians Gang-lim (HA Jung-woo), Hewonmak (JU Ji-hoon), and Deok-choon (KIM Hyang-gi) were promised to get their own reincarnations by the king of Afterlife, Yeomra (LEE Jung-jae). The 3 Guardians choose Su-hong (KIM Dong-wook) as their candidate, but doubts were cast on their candidate, since he wreaked havoc in the Living World by turning into a vengeful spirit.
In exchange for Su-hong’s fair trial, Yeomra tasks the 3 guardians to ascend an old man from the Living World who has surpassed his allotted lifespan. While on the mission, they encountered a rogue god known as Household God (Don LEE) who was protecting the old man and his grandson from the Afterlife Guardians.

Eventually, Hewonmak and Deok-choon discover that the Household God was the Afterlife Guardian who ascended the two of them a millennium ago. To get back their memories of their previous lives, they begin helping the Household God. Can they handle what they will discover from their previous lives? And how will it affect Su-hong’s trial?

According to Director KIM Yong-hwa, in The Two Worlds, they focused into building a believable world in order to focus more on character building and the relationships between them in THE LAST 49 DAYS. Another thing to look forward to in the movie is its CG effects and amazing production designs that make the worlds in the movie look more real.

It is indeed look real and with the effects and CGIs I find it realistic.

Of course it is really hard to watch and read the translations but it was, still manageable to see right thru the movie.

I really enjoyed the movie!

Watch the Korean fantasy film that is set to make another blockbuster history! ALONG WITH THE GODS: THE LAST 49 DAYS will open in theaters nationwide on September 5. From VIVA International Pictures & MVP Entertainment.

They say 'the truth shall set you free' but it seems that the phrase didn't released the truth about our history more than a century ago. Yes, there are loops and gray areas in the Philippine History but thanks to some of the producers and directors who tried their best to unearth stories and documentaries about our past. Few of these movie examples are the Heneral Luna and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral. These films truly and shockingly reveal what really transpired out of the pages of our history books.

Goyo is the sequel of the 2015 hit historical epic movie, Heneral Luna. It is a movie highlighting one of the youngest generals during the Philippine war.

The character of Goyo is played by Paulo Avelino, together with some of the best actors in the industry like Epy Quizon who plays the role of Apolinario Mabini, Mon Confiado as Emilio Aguinaldo, Leo Martines as PetroPaterno and a whole ensemble of cast include Art Acuna, Carlo Aquino, Christopher Aronson, RK Bagatsing, Perla Bautista, Nonie buencamino, Roeder Camanag, Carlo Cruz, Jason Dewey, Miguel Faustmann, Bret Jackson, Ethan Salvador, Ronnie Lazaro, Jojit Lorenzo, Lorenz Martinez, Karl Medina, Che Ramos, Empress Schuck, Robert Sena, Stephanie Sol, Markki Stroem, Arron Villaflor, Gwen Zamora and more.

The movie's play date is  on September 5, 2018 in cinemas.  Learn the truth, unravel the story, and rewrite what you think about our history.

Chocnut, Foil, and Butterfly are just some of the things that you will definitely remember in the movie "Ang Babaeng Allergic sa WiFi". It's a love story with a somehow fictional illness that can be possible. Specially now that we are in the age of technology, where different waves of frequencies are almost every where and almost everything is possible.


The movie "Ang Babaeng Allergic sa WiFi" is a fictional love story that will give viewers a second thought about life and how people threat everyone around them. It is a love story that will let you learn things about love. Below are love phrases/ quotes that best suits for this story.

• Love at first sight is true. 
• Love is blind, sometimes.
• Loving unconditionally. 
• Your happiness is my happiness. 
• Love is hard work. 
• It's now what you feel but it's how you feel.

What I like also in this film is how they incorporated values,tradition and cultures of the past that is fading away because of the advancement in technology. The movie pays homage to those things for the appreciation of the current generation. Some of them are:

• Teleponong lata (a DIY telephone toy using cans and cord), this is one of the toys played by the older generations when they were still kids. 

• Patintero were slightly introduced as well. It is a game with two teams competing to cross on bounding box. 

• Panliligaw (courting) were also recognized in the film since it is a love story. It was one of the lines of Boots Anson-Roa where she describes how courtship is hard during their time. 

• Snail Mail, with today's speed of communication it seems that snail mail has been setting aside and becoming less valuable but on this movie and since the character, Norma isn't allowed to be near any devices that emits signal this means of communications is just right for her. 

• Old devices like typewriter, cassette tape, tape recorder, and phonographs were introduced and value were explained.  

Overall the movie does not only entertain viewers with the love story of the main characters Norma, Leo, and Aries but also gives information some of our diminishing values and culture.
It is another love story that is highly recommended for everyone not only to feel love but to appreciate the value of things around us.

The movie stars Sue Ramirez, Markus Peterson, Jameson Blake and is directed by award winning director Jun Robles Lana.

“What interested me most about the idea, when I came across a 2009 news report about a British man who was allergic to Wi-Fi, is the opportunity to explore the underlying sadness and emptiness of modern relationships,” shares Director Jun Robles Lana.

“Nowadays, with the advances of technology, no matter where we go, it’s so easy to get in touch with our loved ones. But a lot of our correspondence has also been reduced to emojis and likes and superficial interactions online. What happens if the technology that’s supposed to connect you to the whole world suddenly isolates you literally and takes away your freedom and the life you once lived and knew?”

“Ang Babaeng Allergic sa WiFi” is Cignal Entertainment’s first venture into full length feature film production and is one of the eight feature films chosen by the Film Development Council of the Philippines for the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino 2018 happening in August.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s delivered his 3rd State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the Batasang Pambansa and made a historical mark. Literally the 3rd SONA broke the tradition. Check out below what are the firsts on this SONA and the highlights of President Duterte’s speech.

• This is the first time that the SONA didn't start exactly at 4:00 PM.
• This is the first time that the before the start of the SONA there’s a sudden change of leadership in the house of congress.
• This is the first time that President Duterte read his speech without any unnecessary words.
• This is the first time that the SONA speech took only less than an hour.
• This is the first time that President Duterte’s SONA didn't put highlights on the achievements but on what to be done.

With so many firsts it is only right that today’s SONA would be recognized and made a mark in the history of SONAs. As to the highlights of President Duterte’s speech we’re sharing what we can grasp from it, read it below and share what you think of it.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte started his speech with

About 2 years ago, I solemnly took my oath as a worker of the national gov’t. I was inspired to institute real changes for the greater good of the Filipino people.

• War from illegal drugs is far from over and will not be sidelined, instead, it will be as relentless and chilling.
• Concerns more on human lives and not human rights. “Illegal drugs wasted away lives, dysfunctionalized families and ruined relationship.”
• Corruption must stop to improve delivery of services. He warned government agencies to stop red tape. Directing government agencies in implementing the Ease of Doing Business Act.
• He mentioned that he will sign (Bangsamoro Organic Law) and ratify the law. He asks for 48 hours. 
• He hailed the successful hosting of the ASEAN anniversary and summit that happened last November.
• The relationship with China has led to an unprecedented level of cooperation. The shared intelligence with China led to the discovery of clandestine shabu laboratories.
• He admired our Filipino migrant workers for their selflessness and courage in enduring hardships of living away.
• Mentioned about the fight against ‘endo’ which has resulted to regularization of more than 300,000 workers.
• He mentioned the promise to restore environmental integrity of Boracay. He clearly said that “It has sadly become a representation of government’s negligence, including mine.”
• Another highlight is the protection of the environment which discussed the open pit mining.
• The immediate passing of the Congress for the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion or the TRAIN law. “You have made funds available to build better roads, bridges and improved health and education.”
• The economic sabotage of which he warned the rice cartels to stop messing with the people.
• The passage of the universal healthcare bill.
• He recognized the people behind the drafting of the new Constitution (Federal Government).

What can you say about President Rodrigo Roa Duterte's SONA?

A big white dot on a black canvas! This is what we have in mind about the photo shoot of Bela Padilla for FHM. I'm not a renowned artist or blogger but having seen the behind the scene of the photo shoot makes me think twice. Is it just me or there's something about that photo shoot.

Like I mentioned at the first line I see the concept of who ever conceptualize the idea as a big white dot on a black canvas. Am I just being too sensitive or just being rational. We're in an era where negativism can crawl out in each in everyone of us, thus, giving us the impression of having second thoughts about how we look. It's a color issue for me.
I didn't mean to raise the issue about skin color but in the concept of FHM, this is what I see. In fairness with the other ladies in the photo shoot, they are all beautiful. The only thing that troubles me is why there's a need to have a different skin color put up together just to highlight a much radiant or lighter skin. It seems like subliminally saying that I stand above the others.

So this is just my thoughts and my idea about this FHM photo shoot with Bela Padilla. Are you thinking also the same thing? Share your thoughts here if you are.
