Go, go, go! Let's support "Run for the Pasig River" campaign

A river warrior cleaning the Estero de San Miguel (P. Casal Bridge)


Who says that dreams don't come true? Well, they do. :)) For most of the Filipinos, Gina Lopez's vivid dream of rehabilitating and beautifying the "esteros" or estuaries of Manila, is something next to impossible. Well, take a closer look and please pay attention to my post and see what we've discovered while touring Estero de San Miguel and Estero de Paco.

Gina Lopez, managing director of ABS-CBN Foundation operating Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig (KBPIP), aims to clean-up the lifestyle of residents in the areas and improve their way of living by simply imposing the value of discipline and unity among them. After what we have witnessed during our "estero tour," Gina and the whole KBPIP team together with community volunteers otherwise known as the River Warriors, really did a great job!

KBPIP has been known for organizing three successful runs since 2009 namely the Philippine International Marathon: A Run for the Pasig River; the historic 10.10.10. Run for the Pasig River that broke the Guiness World Record for the "most participants in a racing event" with 116, 087 runners, and last year's 11.02.2011 Run for the Pasig River, the largest foot race joined by 86, 547 runners. 

This year, KBPIP has set focused on the waterways in Quezon City which empties most of its trash to the San Juan River and contributes over 40% of the filth that flows into the Pasig River, thus, the title of the upcoming adcovacy run, 09.30.2012 Run for the Pasig River, "The Quezon City Experience." 



Registration for the 09.30.2012 Run for the Pasig River is ongoing at SM North EDSA, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, R.O.X, Chris Sports Festival Mall and Chris Sports Glorietta. Registration is until Saturday (Sept 29). Aside from the registration, there will also be merchandise available in the SM booths, in which part of the proceeds will also go to the river rehabilitation. For updates on this advocacy run, visit www.runforthepasigriver.com, like www.facebook.com/runforthepasigriver or follow @run4pasigriver on Twitter.


Do you think it would be impossible to rehabilitate this?

This time, I took this shot! Look at the Estero de Paco today!!! 

Isn't it amazing?!!! 

We could all walk now under the bridge freely! 

Kids also enjoy their beautiful ambience

Look! I never imagined that I could see and get hold of a flower growing from the estero; with me is my friend/blogger JL Dechavez Urgel

Fascinating!!! ;))

Of course, all these good things wouldn't be happening without their help...

Thank you...

Thank you...

Thank you so much!!!

"Be Careful With My Heart" Double Treat



The cast of "Be Careful With My Heart" during the presscon


The very first daytime tele-series in Philippine television history is also the number 1 daytime TV program today. A lot of stories have been told about this “uber” kilig-serye, a lot of flattering remarks, reviews and even requests have reached ABS-CBN’s end from indefinite number of viewers.

And this time they would leave no stone unturned. The romantic-comedy with a touch of drama tv series has started its airing on “Be Careful With My Heart Sabado Rewind,” last Saturday, September 15, 2012. Avid viewers and even those who’ve been missing the daily episodes of the said program can now freely get to watch their favorite tv series.

Jodi "Yaya Maya" Sta. Maria

Richard "Ser Chief" Yap

The Super "nakakakilig" loveteam!


Moreover, here’s another great news! Starting this Saturday, September 22, you can now enjoy a full one and a half hour of replay of its past episodes from 10am to 11:30. So there will be no “bitin” factor on the viewer’s side :))This most talk-about tv series has gained a lot of followers since its pilot episode last July 9.  The very unique relationship of Jodi Sta. Maria (Maya) and Richard Yap (Ser Chief) is being romanticized; raving lots of praises and acquiring huge quantity of televiewers. We commend the team behind this program, they've admitted that, the story runs distinctively according to their “gut-feelings” and I guess that’s one of the main reasons why they never fail to tap the latest trends and of course, the viewer’s taste and emotions.

Jodi Sta. Maria, Richard Yap and Mutya Orquia

The cast fortuitously claimed that they really enjoy working on this project, as if they were a whole bunch of people that belongs to one family... no pressures, no negative vibes, no hassles and everything. They’ve grown so fond of each other and treat everybody even the staff and crew as family members. It seems that “uniqueness” has really its own way of populating this tv series and its people.

"Abby" has finally spoken ! hihihi 

Jerome "Sir Luke" Ponce smiling on my cam :)) 

Janella "Ma'm Nikki" Salvador

Aiza "Kute/ Cristina Rose" Seguerra

Tom Rodriguez is "Jeff" who plays Cho's biological father in the story

JM Ibanez plays "Cho," Kute's cutey son 

Want to see a picture of a happy family? hihihi
Tom, Aiza and JM were so generous to have their picture taken, thanks much guys! :))


Since most us are also clinging to the songs that the show’s been playing since day one, here’s another treat for their loyal supporters! Here me out... the much anticipated release of the show’s nine-track official soundtrack is already here. Everyone’s so excited and thrilled as Richard says, “We (Jodi) both love music and singing but we never dreamt of being recording artists. This is special to us because aside from the fact that it’s our first album, we really worked hard for this because we want the people who’ll buy the album to be happy with the songs and how we sang them, and not just because we’re part of it.”
Jodi also ensures that avid viewers can definitely relate with all the tracks of the album, she even shared, “Every time they’ll listen to it, they’ll remember the romantic moments of Ser Chief and Maya.

"Papa Chen/ Ser Chief" recording "Sorry Na Pwede Ba," a cut from their album


Jodi and Richard were keenly looking on their 
"Be Careful With My Heart" album during the presscon


To complete the excitement, here’s the tracklist of “Be Careful With My Heart:" “Be Careful With My Heart” and “When You Say Nothing At All,” are both duets by Jodi and Richard; “Kaba” and “Torete” sung by Jodi; “When You Say Nothing At All,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” and “Sorry Na, Pwede Ba?” by Richard; “I’ll Be There” by Aiza Seguerra; and a bonus track of “Be Careful With My Heart” sung by Juris and Sam Milby.

This newest prime tanghali craze has everything but positive vibes. It is very refreshing especially to us, viewers, to have something that we can look forward to not only during weekdays but also every Saturday.  A tv series that’s funny, has heart, passion, family values, romance and most of all, it has the “kilig” factor that greatly influences almost all ages of any sex and any status and has created great impact on everyone’s lives. More power to all of you!!!

Continue to spread the good vibes in the morning and fall in love with the new-age fairytale of Yaya Maya and her Ser Chief in the country’s no. 1 daytime program, “Be Careful With My Heart,” weekdays, 10:45am, before “It’s Showtime” on ABS-CBN.

X Factor Philippines Final 6 now down to 5, Kedebon bid goodbye...



The X Factor Philippines has tremendously earned raves via boobtubes and social media. The internationally-based talent search has gained constant followers and still acquiring a huge number of viewers as the weeks pass by. 

ABS-CBN has brought this program to the Philippines to conscientiously search for the next multi-media superstar. The program appears to be not just a battle of charisma, stage presence and unique vocal prowess but also a personal battle to overcome their lifelong struggles that might have driven them off course from realizing their dream of making it in the music industry.

The X Factor Final 6 were presented to the press just recently comprising of Jeric Medina, Gabriel Maturan, Kedebon Colim, Allen Sta. Maria, KZ Tandingan and Daddy’s Home composed of Allan Silonga, Herbert Silonga, Eric Dacanay and Jerome Icatar.

Here’s a soft background of the six X Factor Ph’s finalists, first, (in no particular order) Jeric who’s from Parañaque had been battling weight problems since he was a kid but was driven to lose weight and he has now shed off 70 lbs. gaining more confidence and very much ready to pursue his dream of becoming a music artist. Second from the list is Gabriel or Gab of Dapitan City who profoundly confessed that he had three men he considered fathers. And as far as he is concerned, he remembers his mom visiting the house of the late “Perry Como of the Philippines,” Diomedes Maturan who had gained stardom in the late 50’s. Diomedes was believed to be Gab’s grandfather.

Jeric Medina

Gabriel Maturan


Third from the list is Allen, the youngest finalist from Nueva Ecija who had been struggling from poverty and been joining various singing contests in order to support her studies and buy stuff for herself. This young talent confesses that she never became champion in all the singing contests she’d joined. Next is the all-male group, Daddy’s Home, all daddies, all professionals and aged above 31. These pillars of the family are facing a fight against time as their shot at making in the industry tends to be shorter than the rest of the younger contenders. Between singing career and work, they’ve daringly opted to choose the former with hope of penetrating the mainstream scene.

Allen Sta. Maria

Daddy's Home


Scene-stealer KZ Tandingan hails from Digos City. She is very much determined to really get the title as the first X Factor Philippines champion. Her throat history hasn’t been a hindrance to her singing career as a band singer; instead, she has finally searched a unique singing style and has learned to enhance that; she’s willing to prove that the country’s music industry is not just for belters, smooth-skinned and pretty artists.

KZ Tandingan


And last but definitely not the least, is the gutsy Kedebon Colim of Cebu. This 19 year-old comedic, bubbly and one of a kind lad who was described by his family and friends as strong and hardworking has been struggling with poverty and been in a situation where insults and bashes are being thrown to him since he’d gained familiarity as well as popularity in the contest. But last Sunday, September 16, 2012, Kedebon and Daddy’s Home were placed in the bottom two. Due to the constraints to his number of votes and luck as we may consider, Kedebon has bid goodbye to his fellow X Factor Ph finalists, mentor/ judge Martin Nievera, other mentors and judges Gary Valenciano, Charice Pempengco and Ms. Pilita Corrales.

Kedebon Colim


Martin Nievera mentors Jeric, Gabriel and the Kedebon whom Martin has grown fond of considering him like a "son." :)); while Charice still has two aces, KZ and Allen; Gary V. mentors Daddy's Home. Fourth judge-mentor Pilita Corrales' mentees were unfortunately eliminated from the competition and didn't make it to the final 6, thus, this prompted Ms. Pilita to judge the remaining contestants much easier, according to her since she doesn't have any mentees left. 

X Factor Philippines host KC Concepcion

X Factor Philippines Final 6 is now trimmed down to 5. Who among them will become the country’s very first X Factor Philippines grand winner? Whose “X factor” will win over viewers and judge-mentors hearts?

If you really wanna save your X Factor faves from being eliminated, do VOTE after their performances every Saturday simply by texting XF<space>JERIC/GAB/ALLEN/KZ/DAD and send it to 2331 for Globe and Sun subscribers and 231 for Smart and Talk 'n Text subscribers. 

The much awaited finals of the X Factor Philippines is definitely fast approaching, so better not miss the country's biggest and grandest musical event of the year with KC Concepcion as host, airing every Saturday, after "MMK," and every Sunday, after "Sarah G Live!" on ABS-CBN. Please follow the show's official Twitter account @thexfactorphil and hope you'll like its official Facebook page XFactorPhOfficial

A Story of Love and Responsibility.... “The Mistress”


Love begins with Attraction...
Love is fueled by Desire...
Love takes on Risks...
Love comes with Pain...
Great Love comes with Hope.

These are the running taglines from the most awaited romantic- melodrama movie of the year.... 
“The Mistress.”

Wife or mistress, husband or lover, boyfriend or girlfriend, friends or enemies, I guess everyone’s been expecting and so excited in watching this Star Cinema’s newest offering. Helmed by no other than Ms. Olivia “Inang” Lamasan, and penned by one of the celebrated screenwriters of our time, Ms. Vanessa Valdez, this film marks as Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd’s comeback project as a love team on screen since their last partnership two years ago, via the movie “Miss you like Crazy.”

“The Mistress” not only celebrates the 10th year anniversary of “John Lloyd-Bea” tandem, but according to direk Olive, it also marks her 10th film directorial job, as well as Vanessa’s 10th screenplay, so they’re celebrating a Triple 10, would you believe? :)) Congratulations to all of you! Completing the powerful cast, the lead stars were also joined by Ms. Anita Linda, Carmi Martin, K Brosas, Tony Mabesa, Gabe Mercado, Minnie Aguilar, Nor Domingo and child star Clarence Delgado.


John Lloyd and Bea during "The Mistress" Blogcon


Expect more striking, peculiar and phenomenal exchange of lines between the characters, Regina, The Wife played by Ms. Hilda Koronel; Rico, The Benefactor played by Ronaldo Valdez;  JD, The Lover played by John Lloyd and Sari, The Mistress played by Bea. Driven by their maturity, and by the demand of the story, this film is Bea and John Lloyd’s most daring role to date!

 Watching the movie’s teaser, Bea was quoted as saying, “Walang babaing pinangarap maging kabit!”
 So true, so real... but has it ever crossed your mind, why do these women still engage into a relationship where in fact they know very well that they don’t own and doesn’t have any right to the man they’ve fallen in love with? The only thing that these women can occupy is a little “space” in their man’s heart. Nevertheless, being in love doesn’t proved just and right if it’s considered illegal, stolen and unsolicited.
But no offense meant to anyone huh, this film doesn’t judge anyone. And you really can’t put all the blame on the mistress alone. It really takes two to tango. During the blog conference, Bea even shared what her mother used to tell her, “You cannot seduce a happy husband.” I couldn’t agree more with that! In this present and modern world, oftentimes, the so-called “straight” men are predominantly empowered by liberated and persistent women, agree?

“The Mistress” entails us a love story in different angles. This is not created to justify Sari’s means or any of her personal reasons. This film is made for us to realize and spend some thinking that, being in love doesn’t only include attraction, desire, risks and pain... we must not exclude that, apart from those feelings, there’s always a corresponding responsibility...and that all of us must face whatever consequences there might happen. But the good thing is... at the end of the day, we should never fail to anticipate that there’s always hope.

Never miss this one-of-a-kind love story! Showing in 200 theaters nationwide!

Please follow Star Cinema on twitter and log on to www.abs-cbn.com for more updates and details.

Let's watch and listen to what Bea has to say on 
"Why married men still seek for other women?"

"Bwakaw:" Braving the "Hidden Truth" and Life's Reality



 Watching “BWAKAW” is like threading the in depth meaning of life and finally realizing the "hidden truth" that's probably slapping your face since the day you can't even remember. At first I did not know what to expect as I was anticipating that the title referred to someone in the movie, maybe the lead star himself, as in this case portrayed by one of the country’s legendary actor, Mr. Eddie Garcia.

As an official entry to this year’s Cinemalaya, I find it interesting that it was going mainstream so this movie must have something special, I guess. :)) It was highly regarded in the filmfest, garnering Best Actor for Mr. Garcia.

Set in a rural countryside situation, this is a story about a grumpy old man known as Rene, who lives alone and is already awaiting and preparing for his death. For Godsake, he even bought a coffin already hehe.. He only has “bwakaw,"  a dog (Princess) as his companion and later turned best friend, which incidentally is also the title- roler in GMA Telebabad's fantasy-drama, "Aso ni San Roque." Life has no meaning for Rene, until certain twist and turn change his view.

After Bwakaw fell ill with a damning sickness, he came to realize that something in life is worth living for. He found true friendship with his dog. He even fell in love at an advance age and gave in to his true “innerself”. You just have to really watch out for those scenes, I tell you ;)

And most of all, this story has no miraculous ending thus it is a close resemblance to what actual life is here. Anybody can relate to some scenes that is happening in the story. A touching movie yet is also funny because of the comedy antics of some of its characters. Simple but true. Laughing yet teary eyed. These are some of the words best describe “Bwakaw”.

Also with the cast  are some distinguished actors and actresses, namely Rez Cortez, Beverly Salviejo, Soxie Topacio, Gardo Versoza, Allan Paule, Luz Valdez, Bibeth Orteza, Joey Paras, Soliman Cruz, and Miss Armida Siguion- Reyna. The film is directed by Jun Robles Lana and has dedicated his latest "masterpiece" to the late playwright and children's book author, Rene O. Villanueva, his mentor. 

Rated A by the Cinema Evaluation Board and distributed by Star Cinema, this is a film that you may not want to miss. Catch it! Still showing in various theaters nationwide!

"Business as Usual" in Tutuban Center Update!


Collective efforts of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and volunteer firefighters have not ceased since the fire broke out early yesterday morning at Cluster Building. At 10 am today, BFP officials have declared the fire to have been under control.


So effective 10am today, Centermall 1 and 2 and Prime Blockbuildings have resumed normal or "business as usual" operations, including the Robinsons department store and supermarket. Safeguards are in place to ensure that the resumption of operations will in no way hamper fire control efforts.


We believe that the current situation is but a minor setback in the redevelopment of Tutuban Center. Management affirms its commitment tomove towards a new and revitalized Cluster Building.

--This is the Official statement of Tutuban Properties Inc. in regards to the Cluster Building Incident as of today, September 06, 2012, 10 a.m.

LATEST UPDATE!!! SEPTEMBER 07, 2012


Ikinagagalak na ibahagi ng Tutuban Center na mula kaninang ika 1 ng umaga,
idineklara ng Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) ang "Fire Out"  status sa
Cluster Building . Kasalukuyan ding ginaganap ang "mopping-up operations" sa
mga oras na ito.

Nais din naming pasalamatan ang mga magigiting na kalalakihan at kababaihan
ng BFP sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni General Santiago Laguna, pati na din ang mga
miyembro ng mga iba't-ibang volunteer firefighting organization dahil sa
kanilang walang sawang pagtulong. Nais din naming pasalamatan ang suporta ni
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Undersecretary Rico Puno,
Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, at ang Manila Police District.

Dahil sa balitang ito, ang mga tagapamahala ng Tutuban Center, kasama ang
mga Cluster Building Tenant Association, ay maaari nang itutok ang atensiyon
nito sa pangangalaga ng mga pangangailangan ng mga tenant.

Maaari na ding makipag-coordinate ang mga tenant sa Tutuban Center Building
Administration o magtungo lamang sa Cluster Building Help Desk na
matatagpuan sa Loop Road Skybridge A.

Nagpapatuloy na din ang normal na operasyon sa Centermall, Prime Block,
Robinsons Supermarket at Robinsons Department Store.

Patuloy din kaming umaasa na aming malalampasan ang pagsubok na ito at
magsimulang magtrabahong muli para sa isang bago at maliwanag na bukas.

"King Bee:" The King of Chinese Food




It's been eleven years now since owner Mrs. Ang Ong King Bee had established their family business in Brgy. Manggahan, Gen. Trias, province of Cavite on August 17, 2001. Since then, it had been known and famous in the said province for its authentic Chinese Cuisine. They even hired the expertise of International Chefs from Hong Kong who personally prepare the menu and manage the kitchen. The operation is being managed by best experienced professionals in the field of food services.

I myself had a gastronomic experience dining in this well- talked about Chinese resto. You can choose from wide array of dimsums, roast specialties, noodles soup and other main courses cooked in authentic way. King Bee realizes that in order for them to cater not only the walk-in clients, they also opted to reach the door steps of each residence near the vicinity who wished to have food products by delivery. They even accommodate off-premise catering services in order to be more accessible to those clients who may find hard time of reaching the location and at the same time maintaining high-quality products and services that have created a remarkable patronage for the company.
 
Just recently, me and my friends had an unforgettable experience with ala festive mood to be precise :)) I consider it one of the "hefty times" of my life in terms of food consumption hehehe and of course dining at the newly built King Bee Restaurant in Commonwealth Ave., Q.C. wouldn't be that wondrous without my fellow blogger/ friend's company at all. Even the food attendants, managers and the owner's granddaughter Ms. Andrea were so accommodating and generous in attending to all of us. 

Ms. Andrea of King Bee Restaurant with Commonwealth branch manager

I'm pretty much sure that before the end of my food review, you'll definitely feel the desire to eat and look for any King Bee branch nearest your place. For those who have lost their appetite for quite sometime, well, here's your chance now to regain it! And now... to share with you what they had prepared for all of us, here's an awesome starter... 


It was really my first time to see a gigantic wintermelon in my entire life! And I bet most of you haven't seen that kind either :)) We were served a "Wintermelon Soup" with prawns, veggies and meat. According to King Bee peeps, it takes about 3-4 hours to prepare, that dainty huh :)) Can you see the excitement on my co-blogger/ friend FPJ's face? hihihi 


Of course, one of the reasons that I frequent Chinese restos is the dimsums! We had Pork siomai (Php 80); the very intriguing Bird's Eye siomai (Php 90); and the very tasty and well-cooked Chicken feet (Php 70)


We also had a chance to taste King Bee House Specialty Roast Chicken (Half- Php 260, Whole - 520). This is also a must- try most especially for the whole family to share with. 


Healthy and delicious Sliced Beef with Broccoli Flower (S- Php 300, M- 450, L- 600) must not go out of your list when you visit any King Bee Chinese and Seafood Restaurant. 


So you think we had enough huh, nah ah hihihi here's another jaw-dropping, scene stealer Chinese authentic meal! It's the majestic Sauteed Crystal Prawn Balls with Cashew Nuts in Taro Nest. I really commend whoever created this bowl-like taro nest, it was so skillfully done, very healthy and sumptuous!   My pretty friend Cristelle was so addicted with this one, it was a hit! :P


Can't you see how fascinating this Fried King Fish with Mango in Thai sauce is?! From the very stylish cucumber up to its sauce with mango slices, oh my, this was a super duper ultra mega blockbuster to all of us! And am sure, you're gonna love this seafood dish too. Me, Cristelle and Aylin were jokingly clamoring for additional mango slices hahaha :D The price is btw seasonal. 


But of course, the all-time favorite in Chinese restaurants...Yang Chow fried rice (Cup- Php 100, S- 210, M- 315, L- 420) will always be there.  Ooops! It's a bit pricey huh! Well anyway, you can still choose from other rice options like plain, garlic fried rice, Beef fried rice, Salted Fish with Chicken fried rice and Seafood fried rice. 


It's dessert time! Introducing, another blockbuster in the making! Actually, I was referring to the white, rounded dessert they've offered us. As of the present, they are still working on those two kinds of Chinese pastries. Hence, I'd like to name it as Chinese Creamy Mochi Ball, take note of that huh, Mr. Marco Demo (kwentototo.blogspot.com) hehehe :))  I'm so sorry but I didn't pay much attention to the other one because I was so overwhelmed by the satisfaction brought by the mochi balls, am I right, Cristelle dear? We were really into it, the mochi balls' texture and right softness blends well with the creamy filling and the mango flavored syrup. In short, "winner" talaga... wagi!!! :))) Please do watch out for it!


While we still can't move on with the previous dessert, we were astounded by the arrival of this towering and amazing Mixed Fruits Platter! Hmmm... I wonder how long will it take to prepare this? hehe :))


My judgement: Thumbs-up King Bee! 


with my fellow bloggers and King Bee's Ms. Andrea


Truly, the company never stops in creating new ideas and concepts to expand the business that will provide the community with excellent dining experience at the most affordable cost. It also envisions of becoming a leading Chinese food experts in the country. Patrons are the foremost inspiration why the company never stops to aim high. This is because of the patronage and positive reception with the foods and services that the company provides.  Therefore, expansion of its kind is always the thrust of venture by the aggressive men and women behind KING BEE FOOD CORPORATION.

Right now the company has seven (7) branches in the provinces and in the metro that cater to customers who longs for Chinese cuisines, its branches are located in:

  • Newhall Commercial Center (Main branch) in Barangay Mangahan, General Trias, Cavite 
  • Bacao Branch in General Trias, Cavite
  • Marcos Highway Branch in Antipolo City
  • Sta. Rosa Branch in Don Jose, Sta. Rosa City, Laguna
  • E. Rodriguez Branch in E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue New Manila, Quezon City
  • Daang Hari Branch in Daang Hari Road Brgy. Almanza Dos, Las Piñas City
  • Commonwealth Ave., Brgy. Holy Spirit, University District, Q.C. (Newest branch)

Me and King Bee :))

My over-all dining experience in King Bee Chinese Restaurant was a blast. I suggest that you visit the place with either your family, friends or colleagues to enjoy ultimate and authentic Chinese Cuisine. King Bee is definitely the King of Chinese Food.
