Mula Live Selling hanggang Diamond Empire: Charo Cordial, nagpasabog ng Star-studded Fashion Show!

August 7, 2026





Isang gabi ng kinang, fashion, at showbiz ang matagumpay na hatid ng Maddox Jewelry Iconic Runway: Diamond Jewelry Fashion Show 2026 na ginanap noong Hulyo 30 sa EDSA Shangri-La Manila. Pinangunahan ito ng Founder, President, at CEO ng Maddox Jewelry na si Charo Cordial, habang ang buong fashion spectacle ay idinirehe ng fashion director na si Robbie Carmona.

 Naging matagumpay ang engrandeng selebrasyon ng ika-limang anibersaryo ng Maddox Jewelry kung saan 41 celebrities ang rumampa sa apat na thematic runway segments—Icons of Forms and Radiance, Icons of Brilliance and Elegance, Icons of Timelessness, at Icons of Legacy—na tampok ang signature natural diamond collections ng brand. 











 Nagbigay-ningning sa runway ang ilan sa pinakamalalaking pangalan sa entertainment industry kabilang sina Optimum Star Claudine Barretto, Ara Mina, Pokwang, Beauty Gonzalez, Katrina Halili, Diana Zubiri, Geneva Cruz, Kris Bernal, AJ Raval, Aljur Abrenica, Diego Loyzaga, Jeric Raval, Roderick Paulate, Carmi Martin, Amy Austria, Jackielou Blanco, Yayo Aguila, Gardo Versoza, Epy Quizon, James Blanco, Nadine Samonte, Regine Tolentino, Maureen Larrazabal, Aubrey Miles, Troy Montero, at marami pang iba na pawang supporters at loyal clients ng Maddox Jewelry. 







 Isa sa mga naging tampok ng gabi ang pagrampa ng celebrity couples na sina AJ Raval at Aljur Abrenica at Aubrey Miles at Troy Montero, habang humanga rin ang audience sa fierce runway walk ni Ryza Cenon, sa espesyal na natural diamond necklace na idinisenyo mismo ni Beauty Gonzalez, at sa eleganteng finale walk ng Optimum Star Claudine Barretto, na umani ng malakas na palakpakan mula sa mga dumalo. Ngunit higit pa sa kinang ng mga diyamante at presensya ng mga sikat na personalidad ang ipinagdiwang sa gabing iyon. 


Sa kanyang mensahe, binalikan ni Charo Cordial ang kanyang paglalakbay—mula sa pagiging anak ng isang magsasaka sa Bicol na nangarap lamang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral at maging engineer, hanggang sa pagtatatag ng Maddox Jewelry, na ngayon ay isa na sa mga pinagkakatiwalaang natural diamond jewelry brands ng maraming celebrities at customers sa buong bansa. Ibinahagi rin niya na nagsimula lamang ang Maddox Jewelry sa simpleng live selling noong panahon ng pandemya. 

Mula sa pagbebenta ng bags at gold jewelry, unti-unti itong lumago hanggang sa maging kilala sa natural diamond jewelry market. Sa kabila ng tagumpay, nananatili siyang nakaugat sa kanyang pinagmulan at patuloy na nagbibigay ng tulong sa kanilang komunidad sa Bicol, kabilang ang pagpapagawa ng pathway sa kanyang dating pampublikong paaralan upang mas mapadali ang pagpasok ng mga estudyante tuwing tag-ulan. Para kay Charo, ang Maddox Jewelry Iconic Runway 2026 ay higit pa sa isang fashion show. Isa itong pagdiriwang ng limang taon ng sipag, tiyaga, at mga pangarap na natupad, gayundin ng pasasalamat sa mga artistang, business partners, loyal clients, at supporters na naging bahagi ng paglago ng Maddox Jewelry.





 Sa tagumpay ng Maddox Jewelry Iconic Runway 2026, muling pinatunayan ni Charo Cordial na ang Maddox Jewelry ay hindi lamang tungkol sa natural diamond jewelry. Isa rin itong simbolo ng inspirasyon, dedikasyon, at paniniwalang ang bawat pangarap ay maaaring matupad sa pamamagitan ng tiyaga at determinasyon.

Century Tuna Superbods 2026 Announces "Superbod Era" Finalists During Highly Anticipated Callback

July 19, 2026


The Century Tuna Superbods 2026 Top 20 Male Finalists and Top 20 Female Finalists

Celebrating its 20th year, Century Tuna Superbods enters a new era that reflects two decades of inspiring healthier Filipinos. The country’s premier fitness competition is officially back, but if you think you know what to expect from Superbods, prepare to be surprised once again. During the highly anticipated Final Callback, a powerful truth became undeniable: Superbods has officially evolved, and the exciting new Superbod Era has arrived.

Out of hundreds of hopeful applicants from all over the country, the chosen semi-finalists stepped into the spotlight to completely redefine modern fitness. This year, the brand is signaling a profound shift: there is so much more to the bodies seen on stage. The entire Callback event served as a powerful revelation of a more holistic Superbod. Audiences and judges alike were treated to a compelling showcase that went far beneath the surface—unpacking more of the real, raw personal transformations, unshakeable resilience, and a diverse range of life experiences that left everyone in awe as hosts 2018 Century Tuna Superbod Grand Winner Maureen Montagne and radio DJ KC Montero highlighted the candidates' unique presences both on-stage and off-stage.

In this new Superbod Era, healthy bodies are celebrated not just as an end goal, but as the visible reflection of one’s mental strength, lifestyle discipline, and dedication to a purposeful life built on wellness and identity.

At the heart of this historic evolution is Century Tuna’s unwavering commitment to championing and continuously inspiring Filipinos to become the best versions of themselves. Reflecting this vision of true inclusivity, the competition has opened its doors wider than ever, welcoming individuals of all body types and walks of life. This new era was vividly brought to life during the Callback by hopefuls whose journeys reflect the changing face of fitness in the Philippines.

The stage saw multiple returning contenders on their second, third, and even fourth attempts to finally claim the title, proving that true dedication never quits. The runway came alive with Supermoms from all backgrounds—including corporate professionals, former models restarting their careers, and mothers bravely finding themselves again through wellness—alongside handson Superdads redefining modern parenting.

Even families took on the fitness journey together, showcasing unconventional parent-child dynamics where generations deeply influence each other's health; this included a father-daughter duo and an inspiring family composed of a mother competing alongside her two sons. This incredible mix was further amplified by established celebrities and models who refuse to give up on chasing their ultimate Superbod dreams, as well as real-life fitness coaches who leave their gym floors to inspire a much grander audience. Together with trailblazing challengers shattering barriers of all kinds on the fitness stage—such as transgender men joining the competition for the first time and a powerful wave of "ageless" contenders proving that vitality has no expiration date—this historic batch proves that the Superbod life truly belongs to everyone.

"Every edition, the Superbods competition evolves, but our core mission remains unchanged—to inspire Filipinos to unlock the healthiest, most vibrant versions of themselves," said Mr. Carlo Endaya, Vice President, General Manager, and Group Business Head of Century Pacific Food Inc. "As we stepped into the 'Superbod Era,' we celebrate health as a powerful life stage where passion, dedication, and holistic wellness came together. The incredible energy and stories we witnessed at the Callback prove that the modern Filipino is ready to claim their own healthy era, and we are excited to see our new finalists inspire the nation."

The esteemed panel of judges—which included executives from Century Pacific Food Inc., actress and fitness advocate Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Century Tuna Superbods 2018 and 2022 Grand Winners Jules Aquino and Christelle Abello—evaluated the contenders. The hopefuls were put to the test through a high-energy walk-off and a crucial question-and-answer segment, showcasing their unique physiques, natural charisma, commanding stage presence, and deep advocacy for fitness and holistic wellness.

The inspiring Callback event culminated in the official announcement of the finalists who will move forward to the grand finale: 

The Top 20 Male Finalists who advanced include: Aaron Maniego, Ameer Ahid, Herschel Verne Sanchez, MJ Ordillano, Arvin Corpuz, Jay Gonzaga, Austin Dizon Cabatana, Nunoy van den Burgh, Jaco Benin, Paul John Galang, Christopher lan El Jouni, Joselito Florendo, Prince De Guzman, Rafael Cruz Tan, Ken Batino, Dominic Camozzi, Kim Panique, RC Kashyap, Ricardo De Jesus, and Lorenzo Isip. 

Meanwhile, the Top 20 Female Finalists who successfully made the cut are: Alana Maris Montemayor, Janica Reloxe, Maan Marquez, Aleiah Torres, Jarly Verceles, Jasmine Rovelle Paguio, Anna Valencia Lakrini, Ashley Cayuca, Chucel Njigha, Ronalyn Lalimo, Jilliane Robillos, Rovin Mizuse, Diane Querrer, Donnabelle Erno, Kristen Bea H. Chua, Thalia Joaquin, Vienne Luna, Gee Canlas, Lou Yanong, and Gia Gonzales.

What began as a premier fitness challenge has evolved into a powerful cultural movement.

Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal : Such strong unbeatable duo on screen

May 16, 2026



In the Grey feels like the kind of modern action thriller Hollywood has been missing for a while — stylish, charismatic, and fully aware of the magnetic power of its leading men. What makes the film especially exciting is that it marks the first major on-screen pairing of and , and honestly, the movie’s greatest strength is simply watching these two share the screen together.

From the very beginning, both actors bring completely different but highly complementary energies. Gyllenhaal (Bronco) has that unpredictable intensity he’s known for — sharp-eyed, restless, and emotionally layered even during quieter scenes. Cavill (Sid),  meanwhile, delivers his signature calm confidence and physical presence, carrying himself like a classic old-school movie star. 

Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill 


Together, they create a dynamic that feels both effortless and electric. The film smartly leans into this contrast: Gyllenhaal is the more impulsive and psychologically driven force, while Cavill plays the composed, tactical operator. That balance makes their partnership believable and incredibly entertaining to watch.
What really stands out is how naturally they fit into the action genre. Jake Gyllenhaal has already proven through films like Ambulance and Road House that he can bring raw energy and unpredictability to physically demanding roles, while Henry Cavill continues to cement himself as one of the most visually commanding action stars working today. In In the Grey, the two actors elevate even simple scenes through sheer charisma. 


Whether they’re planning a dangerous mission, exchanging sarcastic dialogue, or walking into a shootout, the camera clearly understands how appealing they are as screen presences.
Director plays directly into their strengths. The movie is packed with stylish slow-motion shots, sleek tailored outfits, tense standoffs, and rapid-fire dialogue that make both actors look effortlessly cool without feeling overly artificial. 

Cavill especially thrives in Ritchie’s world — his sharp delivery and composed demeanor perfectly suit the director’s stylish crime-thriller aesthetic. Gyllenhaal adds unpredictability and emotional tension, preventing the film from becoming too polished or emotionally distant.
The action itself is exciting and highly polished, but what makes it memorable is the personality behind it. Modern action films often rely heavily on spectacle while forgetting to make their stars genuinely charismatic. In the Grey succeeds because it understands that audiences want more than explosions — they want compelling movie stars. Gyllenhaal and Cavill deliver exactly that. They look believable in combat scenes, carry emotional weight when necessary, and maintain enough charm to keep even slower scenes engaging.

There’s also a nostalgic quality to the film that recalls older action classics where chemistry between the leads mattered just as much as the action itself. Watching Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill together almost feels like seeing the revival of the classic “two leading men” formula that used to define big Hollywood thrillers in the 1990s and early 2000s. The movie clearly knows audiences are there to enjoy the combination of intelligence, danger, humor, and star power that both actors bring.
While the story may not reinvent the action genre, In the Grey works extremely well as a star-driven thriller. Its biggest achievement is proving just how effective Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill are together on screen. 

Their chemistry feels natural, their performances are confident and charismatic, and they make the film consistently entertaining even when the plot becomes familiar. If this movie was meant to test whether these two actors could carry an action franchise together, the answer is absolutely yes.

You better check this action-thriller movie from Guy Ritchie in theaters near you! A must watch indeed! 👍👍👍

Exclusively distributed by CreaZion Studios International here in the Philippines.
