“I am definitely recommending San Marino Corned Tuna to my family and friends. I want them to have healty hearts too,” Kris imparts.

To combat the increasing incidences of deaths from heart disease, Kris airs her plea for Filipinos to take care of their heart. “Almost 300 Filipinos die of heart disease everyday kaya alagaan natin ang ating puso.”

Have you heard the KEANE?  Well, here is their latest album entitled Strangeland.  Check their album at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video and of course don't forget to listen to it.  Anyway more of the details here straight from the press release.

KEANE wanders on a new ‘Strangeland’ --- their latest album, that is. Strangeland (2012) is the fourth studio album by English alternative rock band Keane. It is their first full length album since Perfect Symmetry (2008), as well as the first to feature bassist Jesse Quin as an official member. Keane offers a refreshing sound through Strangeland. Helen Lear of The Music describes the new album as, “middle-of-the-road indie-pop”, and “pretty much what you would expect from Keane, but the tempo is noticeably more upbeat and the style more diverse than previous albums. It offers some more fun in a grown-up style that may attract new fans to take a listen." Strangeland features sixteen tracks such as the redemptive declamations of “Silenced by the Night”, the spirit-swelling “Neon River”, the bittersweet friendship song “Watch How You Go”, the electronica element of “Black Rain”, the narrative “Sovereign Light Café” and songs which are unmistakably ‘Keane’ like “Disconnected” and “Day Will Come” plus other promising tracks like “You are Young”, “On the Road”, “The Starting Line”, “In Your Own Time”, “Sea Fog”, “Run with Me”, “The Boys”, “It’s Not True” and “Strangeland” --- all of which are absolutely worth listening to. As what Keane drummer Richard Hughes stated, ‘Whatever it is that makes us ‘Keane’ – that invisible glue – is still there. And you can hear it all over Strangeland.’


Keane achieved mainstream success with the release of their debut album, Hopes and Fears, in 2004. The album won multiple awards and was the second best-selling British album of the year. Their second studio album, Under the Iron Sea, continued the band's success, topping the album charts in the UK and debuting at number-four on the Billboard 200 chart. In May 2008, both Hopes and Fears and Under the Iron Sea were voted by readers of Q magazine as among the best British albums ever, with Keane, The Beatles, Oasis and Radiohead as the only artists having two albums in the Top 20.

Keane’s new album STRANGELAND is out now in CDs exclusively under MCA Music available at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video or online via www.MyMusicStore.com.ph

"Mundo Man ay magunaw" lead stars Eula Valdes, Empress, Nikki Gil, and Ejay Falcon are currently having mixed emotions as their much acclaimed afternoon drama series draws down to its last two weeks.

Whiel they feel happy because of the show's consistent triumph in the ratings game and the positive feedback they have been receiving from TV viewers, the whole cast are also saddened because they will miss their regular bonding on the set.

According to Eula, they always have wonderful moments during tapings.  "My relationship with my co-actors really became very personal, to the point that we share stories about our own families," Eula said.  "The whole cast and even the staff are sensitive to each other's feelings that's why if we're making jokes about each other, nobody gets offended."

For Empress, being part of "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw" has been a huge blessing.  "I've learned so much from the veteran actors in the show.  I think even if I'm not part of 'Mundo Man ay Magunaw,' I'll still be proud of it because of its great story and well execution on TV," Empress said.

Meanwhile, Nikki discovered the actress in her even more because of "Mundo Man ay Magunaw."  According to her, "I've learned a lot not only about acting but also many other things about myself.  I'm very thankful to be given the chance to work with senior stars in 'Mundo Man ay Magunaw' because they've taught me a lot about being an artist and being a person."

Ejay, on the other hand, admitted that he is going to miss 'playing' with his co-actors on the set.  "We really enjoyed doing this drama series.  It's like we're not working because we're always playing and laughing during the set.  We've become like a real happy family that is why it's easier for us to work."

As the story of Olivia (Eula), Sheryl (Empress), and Jenny (Nikki) goes down to its final two weeks, how will fate bring them back together?  Will someone need to risk his/her own life for their family to be finally whole?
