Angelica Panganiban is the new face of Silka Green Papaya! She was officially introduced to the members of the media and special guests during the celebration held in Las Casa Filipinas de Azucar Quezon city together with the launch of Silka's White Weeksary campaign. The campaign gives users a moment to celebrate white weeksary using Silka.

With the Philippines being both the social media and selfie capital of the world; coupled with the country’s economy becoming more heavily reliant on customer-facing, service-led businesses – Filipinas today have come to recognize the personal and professional advantages of looking their best, and feeling their best all the time. In light of this reality, a great number of Filipinas have made a personal decision to use skin whitening products to help them achieve their beauty goals.


But achieving these skin care goals often comes at a high price. While some women have come to accept the inconveniences attached with the goal of achieving fair skin (for e.g. high costs, skin dryness, and harshness), Silka, the brand at the forefront of producing affordable and effective beauty products, believes that this should not be the case.

The new and improved Silka Green Papaya with VitaRich Actives have been further enhanced with green papaya enzymes that treat dead skin cells; and vitamin E with antioxidant properties that help condition the skin. These formulation changes help Filipinas experience puting walang hapdi, in as early as just 7 days -- proving that accomplishing fair skin can be fast and convenient without the dryness and stinging associated with other whitening product brands.


During the event, Angelica Panganiban shares some of her insights about her reason accepting the endorsement and her thoughts about being beautiful.

These are her reasons why she accepts the endorsement. She can

1. Empower women through sharing tips about being beautiful. 
2. To inspire women to be beautiful. 
3. To give an understanding of the importance of women. 

She also shared that being the present Angelica
1. Tiis ganda no more. 
2. Self care
3. About the wellness. 

Just as Angelica's reason it's all about empowering women and beautifful.

During the program, it was revealed that Angelica is a firm believer of Silka’s mission to help women achieve their skin goals and recognizes that Silka is a trusted brand because of their quality products that help women feel and be their best.

“Angelica Panganiban has gone through a lot of ups and downs throughout her life and career. Because of her experiences, she knows when to take time for herself and avoid issues that can affect her” said Jane Co, Silka’s Marketing Head. “As a Silka lady, Angelica embodies tunay na alaga, and chooses those that will not hurt her. Beautiful and smart, she is an inspiring example for Filipinas” Co added.

Experience puting walang hapdi in as early as 7 days and celebrate a White Weeksary with Silka Green Papaya soap to look and be your best all the time.

We, Filipinos, and Indians are not so different when it comes to culture. From colorful decorations up to family values. Just like us Pinoys they too have close family ties. Also, not only that both are from Asia but Indians have been one of our constant traders. Some of us even have their features, perhaps descendants.

The love for movies and TV shows or rather entertainment is also the same because just like us, Pinoys, Indians also gather around to watch movies. The only difference perhaps is that India's movie industry is comparable with Hollywood that is why they were able to have their own which is called Bollywood.

Now, thru Zee Sine on Sky brings a number of Bollywood shows into the Philippine TV network. The good news is that we won't have to read the subtitles because it's already Tagalized, a movie or show dubbed in Tagalog. Sky have pushed the boundaries by having and offering this content to the Filipino viewers. So, if you're a fan of Bollywood movies or your favorite stars in Indian cinema like Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai, or Priyanka Chopra, you'll definitely enjoy watching these Bollywood movies.

See you at the concert and let us all praise the ONE!

It's another film from one of my fave country when it comes to discipline, robotics, and anime, Japan. So, this is my kwento (story) today, our coverage of the press conference of the movie ATHLETE, which was held at Botejyu in Robinsons Galleria. You can watch the coverage on my YouTube Channel Kwento Ni Toto.

Present during the media conference were Joe Nakamura who is a Japanese actor known for Bond of Justice: Kizuna and more; Yohdi Kondo who is also a Japanese actor and a YouTuber; and Maria Theresa Gow "Gowchan" who is, by the way, a Filipino Japanese actress and singer known for some OST from Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla and more.

So let us delve not too deep into some of the details about the movie but as according to what I have heard and understood during the press conference. This is a timely movie when we, here in the Philippines are having issues with gender, LBTQ+ issues, the right to be understood, the fight for equality, and the need to be respected. So this is not your usual movie of love and romance but a more complicated form of love that is not the usual scene.

The movie "Athlete" tells about the story of two lost souls who, in the midst of solitude, find peace and comfort in a relationship that most people would consider forbidden. This is not a tale about infidelity or the "right love at the wrong time" but it's a more complex and complicated kind of story that will certainly give you a different perspective about love.

A former swimming athlete who drowns himself after losing his life and loved ones just by a decision from his wife for a divorce. Hopeless and broken, he meets Yutaka, a handsome young man who has big dreams in spite of doing odd jobs.

Being drown from the situation, a deep friendship develops between them and eventually, no matter how much they fight it, Kohei and Yutaka develop more of a romantic feeling towards each other. As their love and affection grow, so do their struggles in making their relationship work for they both fear that their respective families will be put into scandalized by their unconventional setup.

The story wish to convey that the freedom to choose and the courage to accept yourself is a gift. And the movie "Athlete" bravely shows us how to unwrap that gift. It is a movie that honestly reveals what most people would find difficult or terrifying.

The movie stars Joe Nakamura and Japanese actor and singer, Yohdi Kondo. From VIVA International Pictures and MVP Entertainment, "Athlete" will be in cinemas September 25, 2019, exclusively in Robinsons Movieworld.

Mother and son sure enjoy this commercial shoot together. Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid deeply treasures the relationship she has with her son Nate. The mother-son duo’s sweet connection is put front and center in their newest TV commercial for Jollibee.

It is their second commercial together for Jolly Spaghetti, features Regine and Nate’s pinaka-sweet moments as they spend quality time together bonding over the best-tasting (most delicious) Jolly Spaghetti.


  Their mother-and-son relationship is full of intimate and loving moments, such as those we see in the video. “He's very sweet,” Regine says of Nate. “He really is malambing ever since. He’s always spending time with me, and our favorite bonding moment is watching TV together. He loves that, and he always wants me to watch what he’s watching.”

Regine shares that they still spend a lot of time together even though Nate is already going to school. “When he doesn't have school, we'll just be in bed together,” she says. “He'll be tinkering with his iPad, then we'll watch TV, then we'll buy Jolly Spaghetti and eat.”



This personal side of Regine and Nate is true to life. She shares that long before they did this commercial, they went to a Jollibee and did something like what they did in the ad. “We went to Jollibee, Nate ordered Jolly Spaghetti for us, we ate and took pictures,” she recounted. “It’s the exact scenario.”

It’s no coincidence that Regine and Nate are Jollibee’s endorsers of choice. Nate simply couldn’t get enough of the meatiest, cheesiest, sweet-sarap Jolly Spaghetti.

“He loves Jolly Spaghetti. This is no joke,” Regine says. “On his first day of taping, he’s like, ‘I want to eat it!’ But he couldn’t yet. If he has a choice, he’ll eat it. He really loves it.”



You also won’t be able to resist the meatiest, cheesiest, sweet-sarap Jolly Spaghetti—especially since the best-tasting Spaghetti is now made even more affordable. You can now get your favorite Jolly Spaghetti Solo for only P50, PHP55.00 for the Jolly Spaghetti w/ Drink, and for birthdays or special occasions the Jolly Spaghetti Family Pan (Good for 4-5) is only PHP200.00. All of which are available in Jollibee stores nationwide for dine-in, take-out, delivery, and drive-thru.

An eye-opener and an immediate call not only to save Ilog Pasig but to save the world, PhilPop, Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA), and National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA) have teamed up for this two-day Mini Bootcamp of Taga-Alog, which includes a songwriting workshop that aims to promote Ilog Pasig as a center of cultural narrative and heritage, as well as raise awareness for the rehabilitation efforts of the river through a creative advocacy in music.

This is perhaps one of the clearest languages not only to one's ears but also to the innermost, deep inside the heart. Being part of the observer of the Mini Bootcamp it is a privilege to learn from three of the best songwriters in the country, Noel Cabangon, Trina Belamide, and Jungee Marcelo. I have not only learned the construction of music but also learned some of the processes on how to create and come up with inspiring and moving songs.  Of course, there is also the learnings about the current stage of our environment based on the talks from DENR and Maynilad reps.

So, how did the songwriting went? Well, as mentioned it is advocacy and it is led by the three acclaimed and award-winning songwriters/ professionals in the music industry, Noel Cabangon, Trina Belamide, and Jungee Marcelo. The Mini Bootcamp is joined by upcoming composers and songwriters who have shown immense promise in writing the next big anthem for the environment.

After the success of TampisAwit last year, PETA and NCCA have expanded the mentorship program for budding songwriters and composers by tapping PhilPop to come up with a more comprehensive syllabus that put emphasis on Songwriting for Advocacy.

During the camp activities, coaches gave some short talks about song composition in which participants were very much attentive, as I am also. Right after they were given some activities to test creativity. Then it was followed by a short presentation.

"This time, we're not only imparting techniques to improve their craft," that's according to Taga-Alog Mini Bootcamp 2019 Chairman Noel Cabangon. He also added, "It is also our responsibility to prepare them in the real world, and help them pitch advocacy concepts that are geared toward creative ways to build awareness on various environmental causes. As musicians, we are more than just entertainers; we can change the world with our art."


The two-day songwriting workshop and competition culminated with the performance of the top 5 finalists and the announcement of the top 3songs. The first winner was given a grant for the official recording and promotions during the entire Taga-Alog campaign for 2019.

The winners are

1st Place - Suzanne Samson / “Ilog Pasig Laban”
2nd Place - Gerard de Leon & Rica Francisco / “Bangon, Ilog”
3rd Place - Randy Pusing / “Kayang-kaya”

One of the big companies running in the Philippines, Transcom Worldwide Philippines, raves their more than 2,000 employees to a night of good Pinoy music. Transcom Worldwide Philippines’ Manila sites gathered at the Metrotent Convention Center in Pasig City last September 14, 2019 to celebrate camaraderie and togetherness in the second year of the company’s MusicFest dubbed as Tunog Transcom Tayo.

It's a night of more than the booze but of talent and the love for music. These number of employees sung and enjoyed the night. It's not always working, so for this time, it's about having their night off from work and of course the cause.


The event was graced by live performances from various well-loved Filipino musicians and bands such as Ebe Dancel, Mayonnaise, Chiquerella, Sponge Cola, Where’s Ramona, This Band, Ben&Ben, and Aegis.

"As we've been transforming our business in recent years, creating a positive culture where our folks can express themselves has been and continues to be a key focus. Tunog Transcom Tayo, our annual MusicFest, is just one building block in the foundation that is Transcom Tayo and sits alongside our annual CSR activities, our support for the LGBTQ community and our HIV & AIDS awareness campaign in conjunction with The Red Whistle,” said Mark Lyndsell, Transcom’s CEO for the Global English Region.


This is also the second year that a Karaoke-inspired singing contest which Transcom coworkers participate in was incorporated in the music event.


"Our awesome multi-talented coworkers are placed at the heart of Tunog Transcom Tayo and have been auditioning for months as part of our very own Viral Voice competition. Filipinos are known across the globe for their musicality and singing abilities and this is no exception here at Transcom where our finalists will be showing off their talent alongside bands such as Sponge Cola, Ben&Ben, and Aegis,” Lyndsell further shared.

Tunog Transcom Tayo is sponsored by Seda Hotel, Caronia, Jergens, and Liese.
