Matatandaan na bago pumutok ang balitang may MMFF entry si Jessy Mendiola kasama si Jericho Rosales, matagal-tagal na wala sa limelight ang dalaga. Inamin niya na dahil ito sa pag-abot niya sa 130 o 140 pounds na siya namang nabawasan ng 25 pounds in 3 months kaya bumalik ang kanyang confidence.
Ano ang kanyang sikreto? Ito lang naman ang IAM Amazing Grape Juice with Garcinia Cambogia na exclusively distributed by IAM Worldwide, isang kumpanya na more than 1 year pa lang pero 38 millionaires na ang naproduce salamat sa dami ng otumatanghilik sa kanilang produkto.
Ang cambogia ay maasim na bunga ng isang maliit na puno na native to Indonesia. Credible studies show na isa itong "revolutionary fat buster". Ang isang kahon ay nagkakalaman ng 10 sachets. Ang suggested na intake ay 1 sachet before every meal dahil mas maabsorb ng katawan ito on an empty stomach. Appetite supressant din ito so makakatulong sa madalas magovereat. Pwede itong idilute na agad sa cold water just like your normal powdered juice.
Ang IAM Worldwide ay itinaguyod ng network marketing professionals na nanggaling din sa ibang kumpanya na ang pangalan ay The Filipino Dream o TFC. Ito ay sina Allen Marvin Yu Eder (Founder/President) at Aika Lorraine Uy (Founder Vice President).
Present din nung contract signing ni Jessy ang top leader na nakabase sa Davao, si Xyza Escuadra na tinaguriang "Lady Jaguar" at head ng isa sa pinakamalaking grupo sa IAM Worldwide.
Ang kagandahan sa kumpanya ay one account policy lang sila di kagaya ng ibang sugapa sa salapi na sasabihing distributorship ang puntirya pero ilalako ang multiple heads na kung tutuusin ay labag sa policy ng SEC patungkol sa "investment contracts".
Para sa karagdagang impormasyon, maaaring kontakin si Mr. Christian Balang na Marketing Manager ng IAM Worldwide sa 09178790930 o bisitahin ang www.iam-worldwide.com.
I used a different font color for my picks and underlined them so it should be obvious. See you all!

Awards night will be on December 13, 2018 at the Fiesta Pavilion, Manila Hotel.

When we think of purchasing products and "helping others", aside from eco-friendly items, what usually comes to mind is network marketing and the question of being open-minded. With UBC, you just need to be open-hearted. After all, it's almost Christmas and giving love is definitely in.
What's in Store?
Continuing a long time commitment of creating projects to extend a helping hand to his countrymen, LGBT influencer and successful entrepreneur Wilbert Tolentino launched this newest venture. More than a one-stop virtual shop, it will also showcase quality yet affordable items under the following categories: beauty, skin care, hair, cosmetics, fashion and accessories, and electronics and gadgets. Aside from this the "Ultimate Brand Concept" store was conceptualized to provide financial mobility and sustainable support to a specific target benificiary.
Shopping is Helping
Every time you go shopping at UBC Online Store, you are extending a helping hand to the needy. Proceeds from the sales will go to chosen charitable institutions or cause-oriented projects.
UBC Ambassadors for a Cause
To further magnify the core purpose of uplifting the lives of the majority, support from personalities and social media influencers will be tapped. These popular men and women as as the most respected individuals from the LGBTQ will help in raising funds for charity, they will be known as the UBC Ambassadors for a Cause.
The initial UBC Ambassadors for a Cause are social media darling Sachzna Laparan (Simply Sachzna for hair care, shampoo, and hair serum products), upcoming hearththrob Allen Cecilio (Allen for hair styling gel and wax products) and of course, Wlbert Tolentino (Sir Will Collection for scents).
Are you ready to lend a helping hand to those in need? A simple shopping will go a long way. So, shop and make others' lives better.
The online store's target launch is December with the web address www.ubc.com.ph so stay tuned for updates.
Hailed as one of the most revelatory film fests of 2017, the first TINGIN ASEAN Film Festival was NCCA’s groundbreaking initiative that introduced students, teachers, filmmakers, and local art enthusiasts to representative films from all over Southeast Asia. With our curiosity piqued and our eyes firmly set on the cinemas of our ASEAN neighbors, TINGIN shall return for the second time this coming November 26 to 29, 2018 at the GATEWAY CINEPLEX in Cubao, Metro Manila.
Just like last year, admission to all of TINGIN Year II’s events (film screenings and master classes) is completely free of charge. The impressive film selection of TINGIN this year includes Yasmine (Brunei), A Copy of My Mind (Indonesia), Vientiane In Love (Lao PDR), The Monk (Myanmar), hUSh
(Singapore), The Road to Mandalay (ASEAN x Taiwan), Homogenous, Empty Time (Thailand), and Big Father, Small Father and Other Stories (Vietnam).
Of particular interest is Dain Said’s Dukun (Malaysia), which is loosely based on the true story of gruesome murder of a former Malaysian politician, Datuk Mazlan Idris by Mona Fandey, a once popular Malaysian singer-turned-witch doctor. It wrapped up production in 2006, but it was only
released this year. Dukun’s inclusion in this ASEAN film festival will be the first time that it will be officially screened outside of Malaysia.
Thus says NCCA Commissioner Teddy Co: “This festival will once again encourage meaningful discussions and collaborations with our colleagues and friends in Southeast Asia. In this Post-Truth era where fake news is threatening to become the norm, the stories we tell each other (through film) may be perhaps our best and most effective line of defense.”
Maya Quirino, TINGIN festival head, tells us more of what we can look forward to this year: “We are honored to have award-winning Cambodian director Kulikar Sotho with us – her film The Last Reel will be our opening film. We are also excited about showing two foundational films (Perfumed
Nightmare, and Who Invented the Yoyo? Who Invented the Buggy?) by our own National Artist for Film, the inimitable Kidlat Tahimik, to a whole new generation. Yield, Victor Tarago’s quietly powerful documentary, shall surely hold audiences enthrall with its stark portrayal of child labor and pervasive poverty in the Philippines.”
In addition to these screenings, special sessions have been arranged for the audiences to better appreciate the creative processes of our film directors, namely:
- Master class by Kulikar Sotho, Director (The Last Reel, Cambodia) on November 26 at 3:15 PM in Cinema 1;
- Master class by Victor Tagaro, Director (Yield, Philippines) on November 27 at 5:00 PM in Cinema
6 will immediately follow the screening, at 3:15 PM;
- Lecture: The Art of Kidlat Tahimik on November 28 at 2:40 PM in Cinema 6, set between the screenings of his short films, Perfumed Nightmare (1:00PM) and Who Invented the Yoyo? Who Invented the Buggy? (3:40 PM)
In line with NCCA’s goal to help build strong ties with our ASEAN neighbors through culture and the arts, TINGIN promises to be a celebration of our multifaceted region’s many cinematic treasures. This will also encourage Filipino audiences to gain a deeper appreciation of our Southeast Asian peers.
