Alita: Battle Angel Preview of Footages

12/28/2018 12:38:00 AM

If you're an avid fan of mangas and animes I'm pretty much sure that you have already stumbled into the character of Alita. She's one of the admired character who's capable of breaking not only the hearts of her admirers with her angelic face but also the bones of different villaneous chatacters in the story.

Just this month, I was one of the few who were able to have a glimpse of its footages on the big screen. Take note on IMAX. It's a rare opportunity.

Alita: Battle Angel is quite familiar because I was able to have a few reads if its manga and was abke to watched its anime. Honestly, when I saw the footages it's a but different from the anime. So it raised my curiosity to watch the film this coming February.


So not to spoil or something but one of the changes were the middle part when she engaged as an athlete. And of course some few things to make the movie a must watch.

We'll have it watch on its play date and see what the movie is all about.

Reasons Why Fantastica Is Fantastic

12/23/2018 12:03:00 AM

What makes Fantastica fantastic? Well, there are few reasons why Fantastica, Star Cinema's entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival 2018, is fantastic to watch this December 25. Aside from being one of the comedy film entry, the movie is in store some great laughs watch out for. We all know that Vice Ganda does her movie only once a year and she dedicated that in the film festival. This is her way of giving joy, fun and laughter to her fans and to every one.






Reasons why Fantastica is fantastic? Well, let us first get the brief story of the movie.


Fantastica revolves around Bellat that is played by none other than Vice Ganda, who wants to rebuild their carnival called "Perya Wurtzback" to save it from bankruptcy. The perya also serves as their home - Bellat, her mother Fec, which is played by Jaclyn Jose, and her adopted brothers Daks (Ronnie, Pepe (Edward) and Junjun (Donny).

But because of debts, the family gets on verge of being evicted from their land by the family of Bellat's former best friend, Dong Nam, which is played by Dingdong Dantes, until an old friend, Prince Pryce portrayed by Richard Gutierrez, comes and offers a deal - to help him find the lost princesses of their magical land named "Fantastica".  The lost princesses are played by Rapunselya played by Loisa, Maulan which is portrayed by Maymay, and Ariella played by Kisses.




In their preparation for their return to "Fantastica," everyone realizes that the portal needs to be opened and it can be done by gathering ten thousand "palakhak" (clap+laughter), and the only way to do such is to re-launch "The Perfect Show" that "Perya Wurtzback" was once known for.

So the question is will they fulfill everything and save the once dubbed "the happiest place on Earth"?


It's fantastic because...
  • Vice Ganda only does a movie once a year. 
  • Vice Ganda is MMFF's trademark of happiness and joy. 
  • Two hunks from different networks, Richard Gutierrez and Dingdong Dantes joins Vice Ganda. 
  • Three of today's hottest love teams also joins in this fantastic movie, Donny and Kisses (DonKiss), Maymay and Edward (MayWard), and Loisa and Ronnie (LoiNie)
  • Vice Ganda's first time to have two leading men. 
So what do you think? Are these reasons enough to convince you to watch the movie on December 25?  If it is don't forget to watch "FANTASTICA" on Christmas Day.

Aurora Starts To Haunt This December 25

12/21/2018 03:37:00 PM

One of the common Spanish and Filipino names, Aurora, which means 'dawn' is the subject of this Metro Manila Film Fest 2018 entry of Viva Films and Aliud Entertainment.

The only thing about it is that it is a mystery thriller movie that tells the story about the ship named Aurora that is wrecked into a rocky shore that lost a thousand passengers. Many of the dead bodies turn up along the shore of the tiny island near the shipwreck, but many are still missing, and their distressed families are in need of a place to stay in as the search continues. What's eerie about story is when the search has ended.


Anne Curtis plays Leana, owner of a rundown inn in the island and guardian to Rita, her 8-year-old sister, played by Phoebe Villamor. She is asked to help look for the cadavers in exchange for a large amount of money.. Leana is hesitant, but her fear is over come by her sympathy for the families and her sister's encouragement.

Helping her in the search are her ex-boyfriend Ricky, played by Marco Gumabao, and a boatman named Eddie, played by Alan Paulie.






Though they are willing to brave the strong waves and murky waters, the thing is that will they have that heart to face whatever awaits them?

This movie is a mystery thriller or much more of an elevated suspense which is directed by Yam Laranas, the highly acclaimed director of Sigaw (2004), which was turned into a Hollywood film entitled The Echo (2008), The Road, and Abomination. He also wrote the screenplay of "Aurora" with Gin de Mesa (All Souls' Night) and serves as one of the producers.


According to Anne this is her second horror movie and also her third movie for this year. the actress is once again praised for he dedication and determination to give all she's got in portraying her role. One of the scenes that Director Laranas revealed during the conference was "Anne had to be underwater for 30 seconds to 1 minute to shoot her scenes" but she refused to use the double that was provided for her.

Marco Gumabao says that working with Anne is a dream come true, describing her as "sobrang bait, sobrang humble, easy to talk to and approachable."

Aurora starts to haunt this December 25, 2018 in cinemas.

BAD LAB, It's Not Bad To Be Bad

12/16/2018 11:42:00 PM

Just remembered one line from one of the animated movies that I saw which somehow relates to my topic, "I’m bad, and that’s good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be than me." So if you're with me then it's not bad to be bad.

Men, being generalized with a rough and dirty look are having a hard time getting the right grooming products today. Yes, we do need to be clean and presentable but most of the times the commercial products are for the ladies. Can't men be badly good looking without sacrificing or killing the masculinity with the grooming regime?


Bad Lab is the newest grooming products for men, a revolutionary products that stands for “Brave And Daring Laboratory”. Bad Lab doesn’t do things lightly. They go hard. From their unconventional packaging, you would know right away what they are here for—to appeal to every man’s animal instincts.

The animals featured on the label are the perfect representation of each product. It’s a more unconventional and clever way to catch attention than having a traditional A-list model on the label. It’s downright relatable. The good news is Bad Lab has a full range of grooming products that could satisfy a man’s desire to always look camera-ready--Caveman Cleaner 3-in-1, Deodorant, Hair Clay, and Lean Mean Machine Shower Gel to name a few.

Caveman Cleaner 3-in-1 is a game changer. It’s for men who are always on the go, who always want things fast – like their cars and internet connection. It’s an All-in-One cleanser for hair, face, and body that’s perfect for those who dislike spending way too much for multiple products and who just want to get over showering in one go without compromising. Likewise, it should be ideal to bring when traveling. One bottle for everything!

Lean, Mean Machine Sculpting shower gel, on the other hand, not just cleanses the body but also eases muscle pain for those who work out. It is formulated with Methyl Salicylate that relieves body aching.

Their hair styling products, like pomade and clay, are water-based and thus can be easily washed off, unlike the oil-based, lubricious and greasy products in the market. They also contain Fluidipure™8G, an active ingredient that neutralizes body odor and controls dandruff. To complete the skin regimen, Bad Lab has facial cleansers, scrubs, and moisturizers as well as three variants of anti-dandruff shampoo.

Most of Bad Lab’s products, especially those for face and body, are composed of natural ingredients that can only be found in their line such as Dragon’s Blood extract, a unique ingredient from a resin of plant from Amazon that helps skin rejuvenation; Silver Citrate that serves as an anti-acne ingredient and inhibits inflammation and infections; Blue Stone helps reveal the skin’s radiance while providing it with natural nutritive minerals; and Cronodyn™ fights signs of skin fatigue and tones and firms skin.


Moreover, majority of their products are certified “halal” by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), the only government body in the world with control over the implementation of Halal certification. This makes Bad Lab the first of its kind in the market today, a not common feature among skin care products in the market.

While men’s skin care products before were plain derivatives of that of women’s, it is not the case anymore. With the introduction of Bad Lab products in the skin care market, men now have their own that’s designed and developed just for them, created specifically for their unique skin-care needs, something that’s “Man-gineered” for the man who’s all walk and little talk.

Going with the flow might be the easiest and safest way to go but taking risks and seeking something different is more rewarding. It’s not just about looking good from the outside, for the likes, for the hearts. Just like Bad Lab’s ideology, “Be brave and daring !.”

Shawarma Shack, which is described as the home of the tasty and best value-for-money shawarma in the country or more precisely as 'Home of the Pinoy Shawarma", has been growing very fast that there are currently more than 300 stores nationwide and that's only in a three years period.


"Since we acquired Daniel and Kathryn as our endorsers, our franchisees have doubled, even tripled and in 2019, we are bound to open more branches nationwide. Indeed, we have grown so fast with Kathniel as our partners," Patty says.

Their tagline says 'The first and the original buy 1 take 1 shawarma in the Philippines', which they will hold on to that promise as they make the buy-one-take-one concept last forever.

1CISP One of the Top 10 Fastest Growing Coop Insurers in the World

12/08/2018 11:38:00 PM

Union is strength and coop is power, the largest cooperative insurance organization in the country, 1Cooperative Insurance System of the Philippines (1CISP) is one of the fastest-growing insurance cooperatives in the world and this is based on the prestigious International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation's (ICMIF) 2018 rankings.

1CISP President and CEO Roy S. Miclat revealed this achievement during a press briefing held at the Romulo Cage in Makati City last December 4.

Published last November 20, ICMIF's Key Statistics Report surveyed its largest and fastest-growing members across product and regional line, with 1CISP among the top performers, placing 8th for fastest-growing life insurers, and 17th over all for emerging markets, at a 23.8% premium growth from 2016-2017.

out of ICMIF's network comprised of 197 members world wide, 1CISP is among only a handful of Asia-based members with growth stacking up against the international rankings.

"ICMIF is one of the industry benchmarks we hold ourselves to, as they only global representative body of the cooperative and mutual insurance sector," Miclat shared. "And their 2018 report validates the sustained momentum 1CISP has achieved," he added.

Miclat also announced that 1CISP breached the 2-billion-peso mark in terms of total assets in the third quarter of the year. The insurance cooperative registered total assets of Php2.04 billion as of end September 2018, a huge 50% growth from the Php1.36-billion asset level in the same period last year.

With this asset surge, 1CISP has outpaced the 18-20% overall growth of the local insurance industry, according to Miclat.

"1CISP, in comparison to corporate insurance counterparts, is growing at a remarkable rate, and believe it or not, this is not an isolated phenomenon in the country. It is a lot more common across the world than previously thought, with a precedent since 2007," said Miclat, citing the ICMIF outline of industry trends.

Based on ICMIF analysis over a ten-year period (2007-2017), ICMIF members not only experienced exponential growth, but also outperformed the overall insurance industry average, including non-cooperative insurers. The Key Statistics Report outlines, "ICMIF members have grown at a significantly faster aggregate rate than the global insurance market as a whole. During this 10-year  period, ICMIF members increased their collective premium volume by 39.3%, considerably greater than the total market average, which grew by a total of 16.8%."


"these numbers speak for themselves and support 1CISP's mission - a prosperous Philippines is a cooperative Philippines," Miclat stressed. "while we take pride in reaching greater heights together with our peers in cooperative insurance, we are even happier that cooperatives are getting the credit they deserve," he added.

Miclat also gave an overview of 1CISP's 2019 business forecast, projecting an upward trajectory in the wake of their 2-billion asset milestone. "cooperatives have been succeeding away from the limelight all this time, but our time to shine is now. We want to show everyone that Philippine cooperatives are making their mark both here and on the world stage, as globally-competitive organizations," he concluded.

This comes as 1CISP is injecting new vigor into the local cooperative movement through initiatives such as the 1Koop Leaders Academy, an upskilling training program for future cooperative leaders; and the Coop Kicks, a contest for young innovators and aspiring entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas on cooperative ventures. Launched at the 14th National Cooperative Summit in Davao city last October 3-5, these programs were officially kicked off, with 1CISP set to host in 2019 a tri-city HR Summit to modernize the cooperative enterprise, and a youth pitch fest, respectively.

1CISP is also sending a delegation to the biennial ICMIF Asia and Oceania Association (AOS) Seminar 2018 on December 6-7, in Hong Kong. Slated to speak and interact with youth, Miclat, with other cooperative insurance heads, will lead the Morning Meeting by CEOs and Young Attendees.

Tackling the theme "Impact of Digital Innovation," the AOS is a forum for exchanging invaluable insights, with 1CISP representing the Philippines as the champion for tech-adoption among coops and engaging the youth.
