Amazing Jing for Life: ASAP

LACTUM's 1st LIVE CHAT with "Panatag" Mom JUDY ANN SANTOS

"Panatag" moms, I know most you have seen the newest Lactum 3+ & 6+ TVC wherein a mommy worries about the nutrition of her daughter "Jing Jing," who doesn't pay much attention to her food because she is distracted by her hobby which is singing. This situation prompted her to seek advise from celebrity "Panatag" mom, Judy Ann Santos. She introduced Lactum to the worried mommy and explained how Lactum works as our partner in providing our kids 100% nourishment having essential nutrients found in the food groups from the food pyramid.

Of course we all want to offer and render what's best for our kids right? If you feel that you have other concerns that you'd like to share and consult from a fellow Panatag Mom like Ms. Judy Ann, aside from what was featured in the tvc, well, we share the same sentiments dear mommies. Opportunely, Lactum was so sensitive and very involved in this campaign to achieve the optimum level of nourishment for our kids... they must have heard us :)) They've basically let no stones unturned when they conceptualized the very first Lactum Live Chat ever with no other than Celebrity Panatag Mom Judy Ann Santos! Isn't that so fantabulously amazing?!

And what's even more bewildering was that, yours truly (wink, wink- yes, you've read it right hehe) would be part of this huge event that's soon to happen on February 03, 2013, Sunday. The actual live streaming can be found at Lactum Live Chat on Facebook. Whereas ABS-CBN's ASAP 2013 would be featuring the live chat of Ms. Judy Ann with other Panatag and mommy bloggers like me, Bedalyn Aguas, Angelyn Demo, Levy Martinez, Jenny Roxas and other featured moms. We would be sharing and discussing the most common feeding problems that we encounter with our kids. We would be also heeding some advises, tips and words of wisdom from Ms. Judy Ann. I'm so positive that we would be learning a lot from this live chat.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you be also involved in this interactive event. If there are other queries and concerns regarding our child's eating habits, feeding problems and nutrition matters that you would like me to ask from Ms. Judy Ann, please don't hesitate to comment on this post or contact me by sending a message through my Facebook page.

Hope you'll mark your calendar, okay? It's a date!!!

Big, big prizes also awaits dear mommies! Lactum has launched a 100% Real Stories and Recipes on their Facebook fan page, just click here.

Here's what you'd get to win from this contest

And the mechanics are just so simple!

So mommies/ guardians what are you waiting for? Get your creative minds going and join!!!

I honestly value the role of Lactum 3+ & 6+ as every Filipino mom's partner in providing 100% nourishment to our children, and that commitment that they've promised gave us great assurance indeed.

Bryan Termulo's "Dadalhin" has really brought his career on high

Bryan Termulo's own version of "Dadalhin" has really captured everyone's attention and the hearts of many most especially his female followers and admirers. The song was originally done by Songbird Regine Velasquez- Alcasid but Bryan has proven worthy of doing the remake of "Dadalhin" which now has already achieved Gold and reached a platinum record award, he is that great huh! ;)) The first time I've heard him sang this song was when I attended the ABS-CBN's top-rating Primetime teleserye "Walang Hanggan" presscon. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to this promising balladeer in town and each pair of eye was glued towards him. His performance was undoubtedly one of the fairest and he lived up to the public's expectations.

A lot of good developments to Bryan's career happened after that; he's never been so busy in his life... aside from being one of the members of Boys R Boys from the Sunday top rating musical variety show ASAP 2012 together with other members Alex Castro, Markki Stroem and "Angelito" lead star JM de Guzman, he had tried appearing in several tv programs like "Budoy" and "Wansapanatym." During the bloggers' meet and launching of his newest album entitled "Hanggang Ngayon," he still professed that singing is still his first love even if he's now venturing into another acting job via this upcoming Kapamilya teleserye "Against All Odds" with the powerhouse cast that includes no other than the "Queen of Primetime Teleserye" Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, Sam Milby, KC Concepcion, John Estrada, Mylene Dizon, Jessy Mendiola, Joseph Marco, Tirso Cruz III and Ms. Coney Reyes.

The ever amiable Bryan during the Bloggers Conference

This talented "bulakenyo" (he's from Bocaue, Bulacan) singer was also tagged as the "Prince of Teleserye Theme Songs" of the Kapamilya network having been successful in rendering theme songs from several teleseries like "Dahil Sa Pag-ibig" and "100 Days in Heaven." Bryan is very thankful that he's now being considered and grateful that he belongs to the roaster of talented Pinoy balladeers like Eric Santos and Christian Bautista.

The 24 year old handsome singer has even more to show and offer to his valued followers and admirers. His "Hanggang Ngayon" album which was produced by BWB Records and Music Production Inc. showcases original OPM songs like: Lagay ng Puso, Nasan Ka Na, Kung Maibabalik, Aanhin Pa, and Hanggang Ngayon with bonus tracks Dadalhin and another remake Pagdating Ng Panahon which was originally done by Aiza Seguerra. Bryan's album was distributed by Star Records and is now available in all record stores nationwide.

Bryan gladly performed several songs from his newest album

Incidentally, his "Hanggang Ngayon" track list was nominated at the recently concluded OPM Tambayan Music Awards 2012 and had acquired the 7th spot in Astroplus/ Astrovision's OPM Best Selling Album Chart from June 25 until July 1 of this year. As part of promoting his second album, the newest balladeer is now being seen in several mall tours/ shows and he will be in SM Center Las Piñas (September 2), SM Fairview (September 8), SM Sucat (September 9), SM Olongapo (September 15), SM Baliwag (September 16), SM Naga (September 22) and SM Tarlac (September 29).

Bryan Termulo with me and my fellow bloggers, oh yeah!

To all the girls who are wishful thinking and still hoping... good news! Bryan is not committed as of the moment hihi the only thing that he's committed to right now is his career and studies.

Hope you'll enjoy this video wherein Bryan sings "Dadalhin" with the bloggers live during his album launching. :))

Jovit Baldivino more than just a Champ

Jovit Baldivino was my best "bet" for the "Pilipinas Got Talent" (PGT) Season 1. Of course, we all know that he deserves his title as the 1st PGT grand champion, right? But have you ever wondered knowing the "real" Jovit behind his every success?

Pinoy singing champ Jovit Baldivino dedicates his newest album, “OPM’s Greatest: Volume 1” to his Filipino fans all over the world who have remained faithful to him since his “Pilipinas Got Talent” days.

“Nagpapasalamat po ako na marami ang sumusuporta sa akin. Hindi po sila bumitaw mula pa noong nagsisimula ako sa “Pilipinas Got Talent,” Jovit said. “Malaking bahagi po sila ng tagumpay ko at alay ko sa kanila ang lahat ng ginagawa ko, lalo na po ang third album ko,” he added.

Jovit during his presscon

Just recently, Jovit was presented with a triple platinum award for his debut album “Faithfully” and platinum award for his second record titled “I’d Do Anything For Love.”

Jovit was the first grand winner of ABS-CBN’s hit nationwide reality talent search, “PGT.” Just as lucky and blessed as he is another feather in his cap was added; he was named “Best New Artist” by Aliw Awards in 2010. Some of Jovit’s hit songs include “Faithfully,” “Too Much Love Will Kill You,” “Ika’y Mahal Pa Rin,” and “Mula Sa Puso.”

Being the “bread winner” of his family, Jovit was very happy to share us that he has slowly making their dreams come into reality. Their new bungalow house is being constructed in Batangas and his three siblings are studying in a private school. The talented singer talked about his future plans, as soon as his siblings are stable and settled, he hopes to take up law or engineering.

He doesn’t mind being compared to PGT Season 2 grand winner, Marcelito Pomoy, for he considers him a friend and not a competitor. According to Jovit, they both came in the music industry at a different time and had their respective titles in different seasons. For him, his family is his first priority.

Good news never seems to keep coming for this great singer from Batangas, he now has his third album released under Star Records. It features a compilation of his heartfelt renditions of ten well-loved Pinoy classics including its carrier single “Tell Me,” which was originally sung in the 80’s by Joey Albert.

Jovit poses with his 3rd album "OPM's Greatest: Volume 1"

Completing the tracklist of all-English 'OPM's Greatest: Volume 1" album are "You Are My Song," "I'll Never Go," which is according to Jovit, this is one of his favorite cuts from his latest album as well as the song "Tell Me." To add more OPM hit songs to his album, they've also included "Forevermore," "Make Believe," "Only Me and You," "Someone's Always Saying Goodbye," "Forever's Not Enough," "My Love Will See You Through" and "Say You'll Never Go."

The album was produced by Jonathan Manalo.

Watch Jovit as he sings "Tell Me"

Another good news! You can now download tracks of Jovit's third album on www.mymusicstore.ph.

Jovit, together with Yeng Constantino, Angeline Quinto and Marcelito Pomoy went on concert tour this June dubbed as “ASAP Pinoy Champs US Tour,” and as expected, it was really a huge success! And in the recent 2nd 101.9 Tambayan OPM awards, held at the SM City North Edsa SkyDome, he bagged two awards: "Best New Artist" and "Best Male Artist."

Two thumbs-up for you Jovit! Congrats! ;)

The multi-platinum recording artist gladly shared to us that he’ll be doing a concert in Dubai this week.

Meet the UNIQLO Philippines Cast

UNIQLO reveals the Filipino faces to exemplify it’s MADE FOR ALL Philosophy.

UNIQLO, the global apparel brand from Japan announces the complete Cast of highly admired Filipino personalities to embody its MADE FOR ALL Philosophy. MADE FOR ALL is the UNIQLO brand philosophy that captures the company‟s vision of providing casual clothing that is made for all people regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or any other ways that define an individual. The “UNIQLO Cast” plays a vital role in creating a bridge between the UNIQLO brand and the heart of every Filipino.

Chris Tiu, Iza Calzado, Chito Miranda and Nikki Gil are the faces of UNIQLO in the Philippines. UNIQLO believes that the Filipino Cast members exemplify the MADE FOR ALL philosophy in their own daily lives. Each cast personifies different characters – sporty, fun, witty, serious, spontaneous -- bringing out their own individualities. Despite these differences, they find a piece in UNIQLO that suits their distinct preference. Through Chris, Iza, Chito and Nikki, UNIQLO trusts that Filipinos will identify themselves in every product offering that the brand is set to bring to the Philippines.

“We are happy that the UNIQLO Cast is finally revealed. We believe that they will be able to communicate UNIQLO‟s brand message and philosophy—„MADE FOR ALL‟—with such zeal and passion, our objective is to let Filipinos know that UNIQLO has clothes for every individual – no matter who they are, what they love or where they are from.. As we say in the company, there is a UNIQLO for everyone,” explains Katsumi Kubota, Chief Operating Officer of Fast Retailing Philippines, during the sidelights of the UNIQLO Cast Party.

The announcement of the four members of the “UNIQLO Cast” serves as a showcase of UNIQLO‟s preparations leading up to the opening of the very first UNIQLO store in the Philippines this coming June 15, 2012, at the 2nd floor of the Main Building, SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

Chris, Iza, Chito and Nikki will be seen in the upcoming advertisements of UNIQLO in the Philippines.Christopher John Alandy-Dy Tiu, or “Chris Tiu,” is a true sports figure, an inspiration for education (with two college degrees), he hosts, does commercial modeling and product endorsements, and also has his own business-all these while projecting a wholesome image.

Maria Izadora “Iza” Ussher Calzado is what you call a “triple treat:” can act, dance and sometimes sing. She is part of ABS-CBN‟s impressive roster of talents and is a co-host of ABS-CBN‟s hugely popular Sunday noontime show ASAP.

Funny and witty, Alfonso “Chito” Miranda is a singer-songwriter, the main man of Parokya ni Edgar, a funk rock/alternative group that made ripples in the early 90s music scene. Their group gave Filipino rock music a truly unique sound that was loved by many Filipino music fans regardless of socio-economic status and age.

After singing the TV ad jingle of a popular softdrinks brand, there was no stopping Monica Pauline “Nikki” Gil from conquering local showbusiness. She loves hosting, singing, acting in movies and now even in theater. She is also a staunch protector of the environment and a popular product endorser just like Chris Tiu.
