Kapuso star Dingdong Dantes MESA's newest brand ambassador
We all love food, don't we? It is one of the basic necessities in life. That's why, Foodee Global Concepts Rikki Dee and Eric Dee had founded and owned a Filipino Restaurant called "Mesa," which is now known to every Filipino household serving that authentic Filipino food. It is a multi-awarded resto--- a Tatler awardee, being one of the Best Filipino Restaurants for three consecutive years. Aside from that, Mesa is also Manila's Best Kept Secret awardee as the Best Filipino Restaurant.
Filipinos are known for being very hospitable, no doubt about that and part of having that good trait, is serving great food and comfortability of the guests. We all are food-lovers right? So we know what's best to serve to our family and guests. Mesa Restaurant practices similarly with our Filipino culture. They offer quality Filipino dishes to their customers with right comfortability and ease of service.
Dingdong Dantes signs up as Mesa's celebrity endorser beside him is Mr. Rikki Dee and Eric Dee of Foodee Global Concepts
Just recently, we were invited to witness the contract signing of Kapuso Star Dingdong Danted as the newest face/ brand ambassador of Mesa. One of the questions that was thrown out to the owners were, "Why did you get Dingdong Dantes as your brand ambassador?" And they had readily answered that Dingdong is a decent, family man and he has good image and they believe that Dingdong can help them promote Mesa as paet of part of our family.
I understand that for every occasion that we have in our family, Mesa is just right there and we can always celebrate that special occasion with our family while dining out, having fun and bonding at our fave Filipino restaurant.
Congrats Dingdong and Foodee Global Concepts!!!
During the presscon, Dingdong was very thankful that he is now part of the Mesa family and thst he was also excited to share to us that his favorite dish here are Sinigang and the Squid in Olive Oil which he also told the media people present in the event that his wife, another Kapuso Star, Marian Rivera tries to cook the Squid in olive oil at home. But he said that Mesa's version is still the best!
He's also looking forward to own and operate his own "Mesa" branch and that he's so grateful to be part of Mesa's #RoadTo100 branches.

The revitalizing feel at Kohana Grove in
Silang, Cavite is one thing the homeowners get to enjoy.
In over 20 years of its real estate
venture, the immediate South has already become a home to the prestigious
communities developed by NorthPine Land, Inc. (NLI). The company’s drive to expand
its footprint in the region amplified with Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX),
soon to transpire, which will certainly prompt a major economic upswing.
CALAX, a project implemented by the
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), kicked off its construction in
2017. According to the Public-Private Partnership Center (PPP), its Laguna segment is almost
40% complete and the development of the Cavite section recently commenced in
March 22, 2019.
PPP shared that this 4-lane infrastructure project, which
will connect Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX),
aims to provide faster, safer, more comfortable and reliable route between
Bacoor and Kawit, Cavite areas, and the Laguna and SLEX zones. In the long run,
this is expected to help boost trade and socio-economic activities around them.
Trade Undersecretary and Board of Investments (BOI) Managing Head Ceferino Rodolfo
foresees that CALAX will bring an enormous economic progress in Laguna and
Cavite, two of the country’s fastest-growing commercial centers. He said, “it will greatly ease the movement of goods
and services in the area, further boosting the economic activities in the
Southern Tagalog region and create jobs.”
With its roster of stunning developments in Cavite, NorthPine
Land is always on its toes to step up its game in the South. The company has
several projects lined up this 2019 to provide more living spaces where
families can experience a life with comfort, convenience and abounding
opportunities.
Kohana Grove, a thriving neighborhood in Silang,
Cavite, is off to an expansion later this year. This Modern Asian-inspired
community has been a home to many families since 2013 and has become a haven to
the homeowners because of its proximity to Tagaytay City, a tourism hotspot. Furthermore,
it will only be a hailing distance from one of CALAX’s proposed interchanges at
Silang, making Kohana Grove even more accessible.
Kahaya Place in Dasmariñas City,
Cavite is one of homebuyers’ top choices.
Meanwhile, Kahaya Place in Dasmariñas City, NLI’s
only townhouse development, will open its second phase this year as well. Its
accessibility made this project one of the fastest-selling inventories of the
company. The town proper is just within walking distance from the community;
thus close to the workplace and other key establishments. What’s more, new
amenities including a club
house, swimming pool, basketball court, and children’s playground will soon
rise at Kahaya Place, which will make living way more vibrant.
Other
NorthPine Land projects in the South are Greenwoods, a
Mediterranean-themed lifestyle community and NLI’s largest property in terms of
land area, Wind Crest (Cavite),
a Modern American Country-inspired neighborhood and South Hampton (Laguna),
a 5-hectare project reminiscent of the classic Victorian period. These
communities have already become the hive of countless stories of happy family
living and even more exciting possibilities are about to come with the
materialization of CALAX.
To make more dreams come to life,
NorthPine Land will continue its exceptional works and further heighten its
efforts in the immediate South as the region gears towards a prodigious future.
About NorthPine Land, Inc.

Community Engagement Programme once again at Grace - Home for the
Elderly or Golden Reception & Action Center for the Elderly and
other Special Cases (formerly as Golden Acres Home for the Elderly), which
is under the management of the government institution DSWD. The activity was

previous generation who played a big part in cultivating and preserving our
treasured cultural traditions.

After nine years of "hiatus" in the music scene, we can now hear and watch the former vocalist of "Orange and Lemons" band, Mcoy Fundales and now a creative writer at GMA Network's "Pepito Manaloto," a comedy tv program starring Michael V.
Backtracking Mcoy's career with his former band, "Orange and Lemons," their single, "Hanggang Kailan (Umuwi kana baby), was a real hit back in the year 2005 and the millennials are also singing that song 'til present because it still play over the airwaves, in the commercials, movie or tv soundtracks. Not to mention their song "Pinoy Ako," which was used by the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) as its tv theme song back then.
Most of us haven't heard from Mcoy ever since "Orange and Lemons" disbanded last October 2007, but he hasn't left singing at all after that incident, he formed a band called "Kenyo" in the year 2007 until present, they have been busy doing their gigs and other engagements outside our country. Another thing that we ought to know about Mcoy, is that, he found comfort in writing...
Mcoy said, "Na-miss ko rin kumanta. My last album was in 2010 so that's almost nine years na, I'm happy and excited kasi for five ti six years, nagsusulat ako for tv, at ngayon, nagre-record na ako ulit ng mga kanta." Actually the singer/songwriter is keeping himself busy by writing and producing shows for various GMA Network's shows like "Pepito Manaloto" and "StarStruck." He has but only good words to his mentor Michael V, who had inspired him so much to explore more of his skills in creative writing.
And today, he's back and doing what he considers a "dessert" (music), or a "wonderful break from writing." He also shared, "This is my hobby what I always wanted. Itong pagkanta kasi mahal ko at gusto kong gawin. I'm excited to promote this single." And the "single" that he's talking about is entitled, "Bakit Kita Hahabulin?" under altG Records. The song is a "modern kundiman," composed by Kian Dionisio. Mcoy was attracted to this song since it tackles various feelings. From my own point and observation, I think it also sounded like some of "Apo Hiking Society's" songs, which I found very amusing and pleasing to the ears and it's also a bit theatrical.
During his blogcon, we were also privileged to watch Mcoy's music video of "Bakit Kita Hahabulin?" And true to what he had relayed to us, that we should also watch the video's end credits like most of the present films that's being streamed in cinemas, because the answer to the title of his song, will be shown during the end credits. And we were really surprised and thought that it was a witty and funny "punchline" as I may say it and very raw!
I know you'll also enjoy watching his music video.
PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO OF MCOY DURING HIS BLOGCON
"Bakit Kita Hahabulin" is now available for download and streaming on Apple Music, Spotify and digital stores worldwide.
On the other note, aside from Mcoy Fundales, altG Records another talents who is very promising and has a great potential not only here but also in the international music scene. She's no other than, Kyryll Ugdiman, only 17 years old, and hails from Ilo-ilo, thus, she's tagged as the "Millennial Chick ng Ilo-ilo."
Kyryll during her blogcon held last Friday, June 21, 2019
I've only seen and watched this teener from Ilo-ilo during her "The Clash" days, and being an alumna of the reality talent show, that means you've made a "mark" in the music scene. When I first sawKyryll, my first impression was she was a shy lass and that her towering height really did help her to be noticed at once.
The moment she belted out her first single, "Silent Rumblings" under altG Records, we couldn't help but to admire her singing style, she came out really strong and powerful. Yes, she's a soul singer but in a modern way. She sounded like an international singer if you would just listen to her song and pretend that you don't know her.
This girl was raised by his lolo, while her parents as working abroad; her mom was a singer in a band touring the Asian cities then and her father is a seaman. She's very grateful to her grandfather for he had taught her how to sing, play guitar and basketball (no wonder, she's so tall). And her signing-up with altG Records, is one of the her greatest achievements she said, after joining GMA Network's "The Clash," her music could be heard and reached international market.
I find Kyryll's voice so striking and powerful! Her own style and rendition of songs would really leave a special mark on every listener's meticulous ears. I can still remember her performance in "The Clash" when she sang "Say Something." She really did an awesome job there by giving the song a different rendition and twist. Plus she also has a wide vocal range, she can belt it out, she can do rap songs and soft soulful songs...
She said, "I am very honored to be releasing a single. Dati nangangarap lang ako na maging isang recording artist and now, it's finally here. Nagpapasalamat ako sa GMA Network, GMA Artist Center and altG Records for believing in me." She also shared that, "If there's one word to describe thesong, it would be soulful. I can't wait for all of you to hear this another wonderful music."
PLEASE WATCH KYRYLL'S VIDEO DURING HER BLOGCON
"Silent Rumblings" is composed by Bel Andres, and is now available for download and streaming on Apple Music, Spotify and digital stores worldwide.
The "Ai H.E.A.R.T. RCBN" benefit concert will serve as the gift or Thanksgiving of the Diocese of Novaliches to His Excillency Antonio R. Tobias since he'll be retiring as the their Bishop (Diocese of Novaliches). The said concert will also celebrate , her 30th Anniversary in show business. She promises to make the concert very special. Another great reason to celebrate is the fact that all the proceeds will go directly to the construction of the Kristong Hari, Future Shrine of the Youth. The benefit concert will happen on June 24, 2019, Monday, 7pm at the Smart Araneta Center.
Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas during her follow-up blogcon for "Ai H.E.A.R.T. RCBN" benefit concert
During her blogcon, she has mentioned the confirmed guests/ performers she invited to join them and they are (in alphabetical order) .. Lovely Abella, Bayani Agbayani, Kyline Alcantara, Wally Bayola, Sanco Vito delas Alas, Sophia delas Alas, Jeric Gonzales, Jose Manalo, Valene Montenegro, Michael "Pekto" Nacua, Alden Richards, Julie Anne San Jose and Erik Santos. She promises a really fun-filled and very entertaining concert with all those line-up of stars and there might also be surprise guests, so better watch this concert guys, you do not only get to enjoy, you also help the beneficiaries, which is the Kristong Hari, Future Shrine of the Youth Foundation's construction.
One of Ms. Ai-Ai's admirable characters is her being a religious person and that she believes in giving back her blessings to others by helping and supporting those who are in need, like the Kristong Hari church. And this time, they are aiming to raise an amount of Php20M and hopefully they could achieve it and fill up the big venue since they will be joined by a total of 76 parish churches.
One of Ms. Ai's major sponsors if the BLI Farm
The Comedy and Blockbuster Queen, now a "Humanitarian Queen," wishes to thank all the sponsors, and all the people who helped her and made this benefit concert of her possible: BLI Farm, HOBE, Pitalicious, Zaldy Aquino, Mama Fely de la Cruz and a lot more whom they will acknowledge during the said concert and she also especially mentioned Bossing Vic Sotto (Marvic Sotto) whom she refers to as one of her avid donors for Kristong Hari and that there's also a pillar in the church that carries his name. Isn't that great? Hope that more people will do the same, no wonder Bossing has also a lot of blessings in his own cup and more to give and share.
The construction of the Kristong Hari, Future Shrine of the Youth started two years ago and that according to Ms. Ai, it has already reached 50% of its completion and it also houses a Columbarium. In addition, the whole construction will be completed for the next two years more and that after this benefit concert of Ms. Ai-Ai, they will be having more projects to help them fully-furnish the church project.
Ms. Ai also shared that, Alden Richards, Erik Santos, Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola were the first few ones to immediately confirm to participate and be part of the benefit concert. She also said that, she understands that some of the guests she requested or ask to participate would not be available on the said day, since the schedule for the tapings in GMA Network falls every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but she's still hoping for the possibility of surprise guests to appear.
Me with the amiable Ms. Ai-Ai
On the other hand, Ms. Ai's latest movie, "Feelennial" (feeling millennial) with Bayani Agbayani, is a sure-fire riot, I myslef had watched and really enjoyed the whole film. You can see the zany chemistry of Ms. Ai and Bayano in the screen which is no wonder, they have been friends for a long time and that this will be the first time for both of them to work together in a movie.
In her 30 years of being the the showbiz industry, Ms. Ai also expressed her gratitude to ABS-CBN and Star Cinema for being part of the movie "Ang Tanging Ina" and its accompanying sequels, she considered it as one of her greatest milestones, she stated that, if not for her exposure and the success of the movie, she will not be able to last for 30 years in showbiz and have a successful career as well. She also shared that, after nine years, she'll be having a movie that is set to join the MMFF 2019 official entries.
Congratulations Ms. Ai-Ai for spearheading this benefit concert and on your 30th Anniversary!!!
More blessings to come your way!!!
You could buy your tickets through Ticketnet.com.ph
Just recently, we had the privilege to be invited to the advanced screening of the "Feelennial" movie starring the zany tandem of the Comedy and Box Office Queen Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas and versatile comedian and host Bayani Agbayani held at the Red Carpet Cinema of Shangrila Plaza in Mandaluyong City.
The director Rechie del Carnen with the "Feelennial" and Ms. Pops Fernandez of DSL Events and Productions, Inc. and the movie cast present during the advanced screening, Arvic Tan, Jelai Andres, Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas, her daughter Sophia delas Alas, Raffy Roque and Skelly Skelly.
The cast were introduced to us before the screening started and some of them were not that familiar for us, so I got curious and felt more interested on how will they perform and get away with the big names like Ms. Ai-Ai and Bayani....
Hope you could watch this video of the "Feelennial" cast and Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas' special message right after watching the movie
Please don't feel discouraged or feel-bored when at first you find the first few scenes of the movie to be not that fast-paced as we expect a romantic-comedy film like "Feelennial" to be like that. We were so glad that it slowly picked up as the different characters of the story began to show up on the screen. You may find the plot of the movie to be shallow at first, yes, but once you were in it and felt all the chemistry and the wacky scenes, I will tell you, you'll be "hooked" guys!!!
Ms. Ai-Ai's character as Madame Bato-Bato could also be me, you, or anyone here she's so relatable to some, most especially when she's doing stuff like most of the millennials do like being addicted to slefies, groupfies, going on live, having several posts in social media everyday, donning her OOTD's (Outfit Of The Day) and a lot more! She has a lot of followers in her social media accounts that's is why, it is not a surprise if she's also one of the influential people to consider.
Feelennial, a portmanteau of
“feeling millennials,” is about middle-aged individuals who feel and act like
millennials. They are your adorable titos
and titas, who stumble into one
misadventure after another as they try to adopt the lifestyle of the younger
generation.
Ai-Ai plays the role of Madame Bato-bato, a rich single mom who has everything she needs except the attention of her only son Nico, played by actor-model Arvic Tan. She tries to do the activities that her millennial son is into to gain the latter’s attention. In one of her feelennial activities – online dating, she meets Chito (Bayani’s character), a rich bachelor who recently won a huge sum via lotto jackpot.
Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas as Madame Bato-Bato in "Feleennial"
To continue, Madame Bato-Bato may all have the glory and richness of the society, she dresses well, had a very luxury lifestyle but it seemed like one important "thing" is missing in her life. And that is "love." She doesn't have any personal relationship to men and she longs for the love and attention of her one and only son, Nico. Until she meet this "masked guy" who's Chito played by Bayani Agbayani, whom she accidentally fell during a party in a posh bar. From then on, she felt she deserves to have another chance in love and the search for the "mask man" began with the help of another wacky character, her assistant Dua played by singer/ comedian Nar Cabico and girlfriends Tahoma, Cambria, Aerial and Sophia.
Their
first encounter doesn’t turn out too well, and what ensues is a flurry of
mishaps and misadventures, pitting De las Alas and Agbayani into funny, yet
thought-provoking situations on how romance and family dynamic has changed in
today’s society.
Both Ai-Ai and Bayani are surrounded at work by a young
group of stars and production people, whose millennial habits they have
somewhat imbibed as well. These include cast members Nar Cabico as Dua, Ina
Feleo as Tahoma, Nicole Donesa as Cambria, Jelai Andres as Aerial, Sofia delas Alas as
Sophia, Skelly Skelly asDope, Micah
Muñoz as Shanty, Arvic Tan as Nico and Raffy Roque as Efril, with special
participation of Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandez, and Paolo Ballesteros.
Both Ai-Ai and Bayani said they find playing their roles in
the movie a breeze as they can fully relate to their characters. With four
grown-up children, Ai-Ai has always practiced the millennial vibe as she is
into #ootd’s, constantly takes selfies and groufies, and regularly uploads
these on her social media accounts. Bayani is also a certified “titolennial.” Married for over two
decades to his wife Lenlen, he gets his inspiration from their four young millennial
daughters. What I really can't forget about this hilarious film was the fact that, once you start to laugh, it's non-stop, I swear!!! I've also learned from Ms. Ai-Ai that, she's been friends with Bayani ever since she started her showbiz career, and now that she's reached her 30 years in showbiz, this is the very first time that the two of them did a movie together and she admitted that she didn't expect that their closeness and chemistry off-cam registered well on-screen and I must say, they were so zany, riotous, wacky and lovable at the same time!!! I would like to give you a tip... their beach scene was insane hahaha I can still hear my voice still laughing as well as Ms. Ai-Ai's laugh while we were watching their movie echoed inside the cinema! I would also like to share the humorous tandem of Ms. Ai-Ai and Nar Cabico! I tell you, they make one helluva wacky duo/tandem/friends. Most especially during those scenes when Madame Bato-Bato tells Dua to "Hanapin mo sa loob ng bag ko..." or "Hanapin mo sa damuhan..." you were wondering what is there to look for? Well, you'll get the answers if you watch their "Feelennial" movie. And do look forward to their sofa scene, if Bayani and Ms. Ai have a beach scene, Nar and Ms. Ai-Ai have a sofa scene hahaha do watch it guys it's a real treat and go with your friends or families it's gonna be more fun and enjoyable, promise!!!
Directed by one of GMA 7’s resident
directors, Rechie del Carmen, Feelennial is produced by Cignal Entertainment, the original content division of the
Philippine’s #1 Pay TV provider, Cignal TV, and Pops Fernandez’s DSL
Productions, which marks its first venture into film production after
organizing successful concerts for over 30 years.
Bring the whole family to watch Feelennial, which opens in cinemas on June 19!
