GSK pushes for more quality time with the family with five times faster (Paracetamol) Panadol®


  • For Filipinos, family comes first, that is why when pain strikes, quality time with the family is the first to suffer. The brand trusted all over the world puts the power to take away the pain in your hands with fast-acting (Paracetamol)

  • Panadol®—for quicker recovery and more time for the ones you love. Panadol provides fast-acting pain relief, helping Filipinos improve their day to day lives

  • Panadol advocates the importance of having pain-free moments with loved ones, and sharing this message together with Panadol is father/athlete/host Ryan Agoncillo


GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the global leading healthcare company commits itself on improving the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer with (paracetamol) Panadol® as the world’s trusted pain reliever, sold in more than 85 countries.

Panadol with Optizorb® is a type of paracetamol caplet that works five times faster than regular formulation. It contains the same amount of paracetamol (500 mg) found in Panadol, so you can feel confident in its ability to relieve pain such as headache and fever.

Mr. Jeoffrey Yulo, General Manager – Consumer Healthcare, GSK Philippines; Dr. Joy Luat-Inciong and Ryan Agoncillo


“Seven out of 10 Filipinos suffer from regular headaches. The time wasted on dealing with this kind of pain should have been better spent on more important things like quality time with the family,” says Jeoffrey Yulo, General Manager – Consumer Healthcare, GSK Philippines. “This dilemma encourages GSK to continue providing a fast and effective solution like Panadol to pain sufferers.  What makes Panadol with Optizorb® truly different from other branded and generic paracetamol products is that it is the only product to contain Optizorb®, which has revolutionized the way paracetamol tablets are dispersed in the body, so it allows paracetamol to reach the bloodstream more quickly and be carried to where it acts to fight pain, five times faster.”


Ryan Agoncillo together with Dr. Inciong and Mr. Jeoffrey Yulo, lead the guests in committing to having super moments, pain-free


This year, Panadol brings more focus to help take away the pain for faster recovery and more super moments with the ones you love. Bringing this life-affirming message to the fore is father/athlete/host Ryan Agoncillo, together with his son Lucho. Ryan is known to be a dedicated father to his children – Yohan and Lucho – and spends as much time as he can with his family.


Ryan and Lucho


As a sportsman who is into motorcycles and triathlons, Ryan is no stranger to aches and pain. But he doesn't let any kind of discomfort like headache get in the way of a quality time with his equally energetic son, making their moments together pain-free. But whenever pain or headache strikes, he puts his trust on Panadol. And like a true superhero, he has the power of quick recovery in the eyes of his son.

“My family is my top priority. Even if I get busy with work and my other pursuits, I make sure that I get to spend quality with my wife and my kids. But, sometimes, because of my workload, I suffer from terrible headaches,” Ryan relates. “Fortunately, there’s Panadol. It offers fast relief to make my super moments with my family pain-free! Indeed, when pain is gone, life takes its place.”

(Paracetamol) Panadol® with Optizorb® comes in 36 x 10s dispenser box and a 10s pack. Each tablet has an SRP of PHP 4.00 and is available at all leading drugstores nationwide.

Love resides at Eat Bulaga's Lenten Special 2015 #EBLenten

Eat Bulaga hosts Ryzza Mae Dizon, Pauleen Luna, Pia Guanio, Anjo Yllana, Wally Bayola during #eblenten Eat Bulaga's Lenten Special bloggers night

When we hear the words "Eat Bulaga," what would enter your mind immediately? I know, I know, for us Pinoys, it has been a common thought for us that when we use those words, it would mean like we're playing with the babies, it's kinda "surprising" them when we cover our eyes while saying  "it" (from children's game called 'hide and seek'),with our hands then we'd suddenly uncover them while saying "bulaga," (peek-a-boo) and that supposed to surprise the babies and make them laugh. 

Joey de Leon, one of the members of the famous comedy trio, Tito, Vic and Joey, has thought of the idea and title of the program, it, being a noontime show, instead of the word "it," he thought of changing it into "eat" and "bulaga" which means surprise. So their main goal is to surprise the viewers and audience during lunch time with their show. Come July 30, 1979, "Eat Bulaga" was finally born and it aired over RPN Channel 9 under Production Specialists, Inc. owned by Romy Jalosjos which then later transferred under Tony Tuviera's TAPE, Inc. until present. Still going back the time, "Eat Bulaga's very first hosts aside from Tito, Vic & Joey (TVJ), were Chiqui Hollman-Yulo and Richie d' Horsie, then the process continues. 

Today, "Eat Bulaga"  hosts include TVJ (of course), Jimmy Santos, Anjo Yllana, Pauleen Luna, Ruby Rodriguez, Allan K, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Paolo Ballesteros, Keempee de Leon, Pia Guanio, Michael V, Julia Clarete, Ryan Agoncillo, Sam Y.G., Ryzza Mae Dizon and Marianne Rivera. The 36 year old noontime variety show airs daily until Saturday over GMA Network. 

To most of us, the show, "Eat Bulaga" has been like a part of our daily noontime meal be it in our own household, public buses, office and school cafeterias or basically, almost everywhere and everyday as in 24/7, since they now also have its own mobile app called Eat Bulaga Mobile! See? They're really leveling up to what's "in" and trending today. 

Time flies really, really fast, "Eat Bulaga" is considered to be the longest running noontime variety show in Philippine television. The openness for change and evolution for the program was a great plus for the whole show and everyone, and one of the main reasons that people keep patronizing and watching them is that they still managed to come up every year with programs like the "Eat Bulaga" Lenten Special wherein their regular hosts are involved in acting, totally different from their hosting jobs. 

Just recently, we were privileged to be part of a special "Eat Bulaga Lenten Special" Bloggers Night held at Cerchio in Sct. Limbaga in Quezon City. I was so happy and in awe upon seeing "Eat Bulaga" hosts Pauleen Luna, Wally Bayola, cutee Ryzza Mae Dizon, Ryan Agoncillo, Anjo Yllana and Pia Guanio. I've seen them several times before everytime I watch "Eat Bulaga" live in their studio in Broadway Centrum in Aurora blvd., Quezon City. My recent experience with them was a lot more fun and unforgettable. We all got the chance to watch two of the #EBLenten specials entitled "Pinagpalang Ama" and "Lukso ng Dugo." 


Wally and Ryan 


Wally, Pauleen and Ryzza


"Pinagpalang Ama," stars Joey de Leon (father), his three sons in the story were played by Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola and Ryan Agoncillo with special guests Pilita Corrales and John Spainhour. It's a story of a father played by Joey, who raised his three sons all by himself, Jose and Wally were two typical homosexuals while Ryan is the youngest who still studies and been away from his family. Ms. Pilita plays their grandmother who lives with them. This is a story about family, about acceptance, love, truth and honesty. During times of trouble, hardships and downfall, who else could we ever turn to but our family. It is them who can really us unconditional love. The story clearly tells us that, as a family, we must remain united and intact most especially during life's challenges. 






For me, Ryan Agoncillo is a big revelation here. This is the first time that we're gonna see him in a very challenging role, it's a bit in some ways but the plot is much deeper. Hmmm... do I smell an acting award? :)) The whole show was even made lighter and funnier by the antics of Jose and Wally, and that's no question about it since they are really a perfect tandem when it comes to comedy. Joey de Leon is undoubtedly perfect for his role, and I was moved by his lines and acting that you'll see towards the end of the show. "Pinagpalang Ama" will be aired on Holy Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at 12 noon over GMA Network directed by direk Joyce Bernal.


Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola


Just a sneak preview of Ryan Agoncillo's role here :))

The second  #EBLenten special that we were able to watch in advanced was "Lukso ng Dugo" which stars Pia Guanio, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Julia Clarete and Aiza Seguerra with guest Mr. Ricky Davao. This story has a special place in my heart since it was entirely shot in Sta. Ana, Manila where I presently live. "Lukso ng Dugo" is a story of Alex and Micah, played by Aiza and Ryzza respectively; two sisters who were just a victim of circumstances. They were driven apart because they have to and for Alex, sacrifice is the only answer on her part to make her sister safe and protected all for the name of love for family.


Ryzza was so proud of their show "Lukso ng Dugo." She was having a good time watching it as you can see, she's seated on the carpeted floor. 


Aiza here still proves that she's a very effective dramatic actress while Ryzza is definitely a child star and she knows how to touch your heart. Pia is getting better in acting every time I watch her while Julia is perfect for her role as the "snob" and hard-hearted aunt of Alex and Micah. This will be aired on Holy Monday, March 30, 2015 over GMA Network under the helm of Ms. Gina Alajar. 






Aiza, Ryzza, Pia and Julia happy together in "Lukso ng Dugo."



Pia Guanio, Anjo Yllana, Wally Bayola and Ryzza Mae Dizon




Please watch out for other #EBLenten specials: "Biro ng Kapalaran," on March 30 starring Keempee de Leon, Jimmy Santos, Paolo Ballesteros and Nova Villa ;  and on March 31, Tuesday, "Pangako ng Pag-ibig," starring Pauleen Luna, Anjo Yllana, Rocco Nacino and Jaclyn Jose ; On April 1 "Aruga ng Puso" stars Marianne Rivera, Ruby Rodriguez, Bianca Umali and Irma Adlawan and after that, there's "Sukli ng Pagmamahal," which stars Vic Sotto, Tito Sotto, Allan K. and Ina Raymundo.

Definitely "Eat Bulaga" continues to spread the real meaning of it's famous line from their show's theme song, "Isang libo't- isang tuwa, buong bansa... Eat Bulaga!' 

All the fun, laughter, games, love and lessons in life, they have them all! 

Have a blessed Holy Week everyone, until our next "Eat Bulaga" session.

Max Collins and Rodjun Cruz in "Magpakailanman"

Isang Foreignay at isang Mangyan, patutunayan na true love sees past the skin – sa isang nakakakilig na episode ng Magpakailanman!

Nang ipadala ang Amerikanang si Jenessa sa Pilipinas para sa kaniyang teaching mission, malungkot ang dalaga sa pagkakalayo niya sa kaniyang pamilya—at sa paniniwalang wala na itong mga pakialam sa kaniya. Mga bagay na makakalimutan niya sa kaniyang pagkilala kay Shem, isang Mangyan.

Hindi tulad ni Jenessa, walang pinag-aralan si Shem— pero kung ano man ang kakulangan niya sa education ay siya namang pinupunan niya ng kaalaman, gamit ang kaniyang mga dinanas sa buhay.


Max Collins plays Jenessa and Rodjun Crus as Shem



Sa kanilang pagsasama, matuturuan nila ang isa’t-isa through their shared experiences—at matuturuan rin nila ang isa’t-isa kung paano nga ba magmahal ng buo at nang walang tinitingnan na panlabas na kaanyuhan.

Ngayong Sabado, samahan sina Max Collins at Rodjun Cruz sa kanilang pagsasabuhay ng nakaka-in love na kuwento ng isang guro at ng estudyanteng nagturo sa kaniya ng iba’t-ibang uri ng pag-ibig.

Itinatampok rin sa episode na “Love Me For What I Am: the Shem and Jenessa Dizon Story” sina Abel Estanislao, Lester Llansang, Marc Justin Alvarez, Kyle Ocampo, Ina Feleo, at Allan Paule,
sa masugid na direksyon ni Neal del Rosario at sa panulat ni Jessie Villabrille, mula sa research nina Karen Lustica at Stanley Pabilona.

Magpakailanman airs this Saturday, March 28, after Pepito Manaloto.

Say Aloha to Jeff James' "GoGoGo" album under GMA Records

Jeff James with his newest album, "GoGoGo" 


Hawaiian singer, Jeff James (Jeffro) is now finally here and creating raves in our local music industry. His album, "GoGoGo," is being released under GMA records. For those who haven't checked out its official music video yet, it was shot in Puerto Galera along with the Filipino dancers whom Jeff James admired so much. His carrier single "GoGoGo," a dance anthem from the islands which appeals to all generations; it is also a collaboration with International Reggae recording artist Da'Ville who's behind the songs "Mirrors" and "Always on my Mind." You can check his video and other updates on his Facebook page.

Jeff James' character in person is very vibrant, friendly that exhibits positivity. He's believes so much in "good vibes," no wonder it all echoes to his kind of music and songs. Aside from being a multi-talented singer and songwriter, he also plays guitar, ukulele, timbales and drums. If you wanna check out his cover of "Buko" which he played during his blogcon just recently at Mom and Tina's Bakery Cafe in South Triangle, Quezon City, well, here's the link to my Youtube channel:  https://youtu.be/2c0koDUi_Qw?list=UU21gnKYQSOlS0IxqfMOCTeA


Jeff James during his "GoGoGo"  album blogcon

He may really look foreign to us but I tell you, he's a real Filipino by heart, as he says, "Pusong Pinoy." He digs "balut" so much and loves Filipina girls, and in fact, presently, he has a Pinay girlfriend. 


Jeff  (in blue) with his family in Hawaii (Photo taken from chuckjamesmusicstudio.com)


Jeff is the son of Chuck James, owner of "Chuck James Music School," a popular music school in Hawaii, and is one of its top instructors. He formed his own band "Talk To You Music" (TTYM) and in 2010 their debut single "Hawaiian Girls" hit the #1 spot in Hawaii Charts. In 2011 Jeff's band TTYM won the biggest battle of the bands in Hawaii called the "MaiTai Rumble" which jump-started the band's popularity. His awards include the 2011 Nahoku Hanohano Award (Hawaii Grammy Awards) for "Hawaiian Girls," the 2013 Top Brand Awards Most Inspiring International Male Performer of the Year and the 2013 Peoples' Choice Asia Award for Best New Male Recording Artist. 




Recently, he gained social media popularity in the Philippines by covering Tagalog songs, the most recent one is his own Tagalog version of "Happy" that gained 100K plus views in 6 days of release on Youtube. 

He describes his type of music as a mixture of R&B, Pop and Reggae Music. He admits he just do rap for fun but he hasn't come up with a rap album/ song yet. Asked why he chose Philippines to expand his career in music? Jeff answered, "When I first came here, the first time, about three years ago, I said, 'Wait a minute it's the perfect market. The tao, they know how to speak english, everybody is always on their iphones, they're very hooked up on social media, so if it's very trending you can become popular. All the Filipinos they love music, you go to a bar, it's always music, music, music. You've been on the streets, they're always singing with Karaoke machines, something like that you know... everybody sing.' " 

This soft-spoken singer is open to other opportunities like acting. He cheerfully shared to us that, he once participated in a musical play in high school back there in Hawaii, it was a "Charlie Brown Play," where he played Snoopy. Cool right? ;))

The collection of titles in Jeff James' new album "GoGoGo" work together to inspire "go with the flow" enjoyment as suggested in that song's lyrics. "Come everybody, feel it in your soul. Now is the time to go, go, go. Ya feel it in your soul, Come on, let's go." The album also includes other tracks such as I mo' love song, 169- feat Mindy Mcpeek, Good, Hawaiian Girls, Isa Pang Love Song which is his original Tagalog song, Let's not pretend- feat. Jegaan Faye, Love Me, Top of the World, Wildside, Woowoowoo (I think I'm in love) and Love I.





"I'm already doin' what I want to do, I feel successful." --- Jeff James 


He's signing up my "GoGoGo" album


Yey! Thanks for the album GMA Records and Jeff! 


Hope you'd buy and keep listening to Jeff James' "GoGoGo" album. Super thanks to you Jeff, more power!!!

The album was recorded at Chuck James Music Studio in Hawaii, USA and in Rockman Music Studio, Pasig City, Philippines and is now available from GMA Records via digital downloads and also in your favorite local music stores like Astroplus, Astro Vision, Odyssey and SM Music & Video.

BARCELONA, SpainMarch 2, 2015 -- Mobile World Congress 2015, Microsoft Corp. introduced Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL, two new smartphones that give people greater flexibility and freedom to choose when and where they get things done. Both phones are upgradeable to Windows 10, which offers more personal computing and greater productivity, and will be available later this year.

In a competitive marketplace, Microsoft continues to deliver innovative smartphone experiences at all price points. Both devices offer the seamless integration of hardware essentials — with a choice of screen sizes and camera capabilities — and Microsoft services to offer incredible productivity with affordability. With Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL, people are prepared for anything — for work, at home and on the go:
