I know Indians because during my younger days I always see them roaming around the market talking to many Filipinos. So basically, they have been part of our daily lives and of course our culture as well. Some of them even got married to Filipinas, making a much closer tie with their culture. Interesting that some parts of their culture are the same with ours, like their close family ties in which they truly value their families and the colorful celebrations.

Now, we can know more about them with the Zee Sine on SKY. Yes, Sky is now offering Bollywood movies and shows through Zee Sine. They'll be bringing the biggest Indian celebrities' movies and shows in Tagalog version straight to our home screen.

The love for movies and TV shows or rather entertainment is also the same because just like us, Pinoys, Indians also gather around to watch movies. The only difference perhaps is that India's movie industry is comparable with Hollywood that is why they were able to have their own which is called Bollywood.
With this, the Philippine home TVs are in for some good Bollywood shows and movies in Tagalog Version. So, if you're a fan of Bollywood movies or your favorite stars in Indian cinema like Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai, or Priyanka Chopra, you'll definitely enjoy watching these Bollywood movies.

Just recently, Zee Sine on Sky was launched to the members of the media and to the bloggers. They also revealed different features in their network that Pinoys will truly love like different stars in the like of Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, and many more.

As Zee Sine airs, they are also creating some movie themes for its viewers like the Unli Tawa Monday, Hari ng Aksyon Thursday, Pinoy Bollywood Box Office, Star og the Month, Bollywood Divas, and Kilig Monday. This is to give viewers more ways to enjoy different movie genres.

Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid deeply treasures the relationship she has with her son Nate. The mother-son duo’s sweet connection is put front and center in their newest TV commercial for Jollibee.

Their second commercial together for Jolly Spaghetti, features Regine and Nate’s pinaka-sweet moments as they spend quality time together bonding over the best-tasting (most delicious) Jolly Spaghetti.


  zTheir mother-and-son relationship is full of intimate and loving moments, such as those we see in the video. “He's very sweet,” Regine says of Nate. “He really is malambing ever since. He’s always spending time with me, and our favorite bonding moment is watching TV together. He loves that, and he always wants me to watch what he’s watching.”

Regine shares that they still spend a lot of time together even though Nate is already going to school. “When he doesn't have school, we'll just be in bed together,” she says. “He'll be tinkering with his iPad, then we'll watch TV, then we'll buy Jolly Spaghetti and eat.”



This personal side of Regine and Nate is true to life. She shares that long before they did this commercial, they went to a Jollibee and did something like what they did in the ad. “We went to Jollibee, Nate ordered Jolly Spaghetti for us, we ate and took pictures,” she recounted. “It’s the exact scenario.”

It’s no coincidence that Regine and Nate are Jollibee’s endorsers of choice. Nate simply couldn’t get enough of the meatiest, cheesiest, sweet-sarap Jolly Spaghetti.

“He loves Jolly Spaghetti. This is no joke,” Regine says. “On his first day of taping, he’s like, ‘I want to eat it!’ But he couldn’t yet. If he has a choice, he’ll eat it. He really loves it.”



You also won’t be able to resist the meatiest, cheesiest, sweet-sarap Jolly Spaghetti—especially since the best-tasting Spaghetti is now made even more affordable. You can now get your favorite Jolly Spaghetti Solo for only P50, PHP55.00 for the Jolly Spaghetti w/ Drink, and for birthdays or special occasions the Jolly Spaghetti Family Pan (Good for 4-5) is only PHP200.00. All of which are available in Jollibee stores nationwide for dine-in, take-out, delivery, and drive-thru.

When asked what her secret to her stress-free youthful look is, she said “I always believe that managing stress comes with self-discipline. Discipline to work hard and maintain a positive mindset, a strong body, and a fit soul. Holistic wellness, as I’d like to call it.
Spending some "me" time is a must so I don’t burn out. I usually go to the spa, read a book, and for my beauty secret, it’s 4 capsules of Dfyage a day. This heaven-sent supplement protects my body against free radicals & DNA damage - that’s why even if you look closely, you can’t see any wrinkles on my face now.

Dfyage was a formulation downloaded from heaven and we want to glorify God because He is the one behind it all.”

Whenever she creates something new, she’d drift to the verse, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” - Philippians‬

Angelica Panganiban, the new face of Silka Green Papaya, talks about beauty and women empowerment during the media conference held at the Las Casa Filipinas de Azucar Quezon City. It is the date that Angelica was officially introduced as Silka Green Papaya's new brand ambassador and it is also the celebration of the campaign called Silka's White Weeksary. A campaign that gives its users a moment to celebrate white weeksary using Silka.

With the Philippines being both the social media and selfie capital of the world; coupled with the country’s economy becoming more heavily reliant on customer-facing, service-led businesses – Filipinas today have come to recognize the personal and professional advantages of looking their best, and feeling their best all the time. In light of this reality, a great number of Filipinas have made a personal decision to use skin whitening products to help them achieve their beauty goals.

But achieving these skin care goals often comes at a high price. While some women have come to accept the inconveniences attached with the goal of achieving fair skin (for e.g. high costs, skin dryness, and harshness), Silka, the brand at the forefront of producing affordable and effective beauty products, believes that this should not be the case.
The new and improved Silka Green Papaya with VitaRich Actives have been further enhanced with green papaya enzymes that treat dead skin cells; and vitamin E with antioxidant properties that help condition the skin. These formulation changes help Filipinas experience puting walang hapdi, in as early as just 7 days -- proving that accomplishing fair skin can be fast and convenient without the dryness and stinging associated with other whitening product brands.

During the event, Angelica Panganiban shares some of her insights about her reason accepting the endorsement and her thoughts about being beautiful.

These are her reasons why she accepts the endorsement. She can

1. Empower women through sharing tips about being beautiful. 
2. To inspire women to be beautiful. 
3. To give an understanding of the importance of women. 

She also shared that being the present Angelica
1. Tiis ganda no more. 
2. Self care
3. About the wellness. 

Just as Angelica's reason it's all about empowering women and beautiful.


During the program, it was revealed that Angelica is a firm believer of Silka’s mission to help women achieve their skin goals and recognizes that Silka is a trusted brand because of their quality products that help women feel and be their best.



“Angelica Panganiban has gone through a lot of ups and downs throughout her life and career. Because of her experiences, she knows when to take time for herself and avoid issues that can affect her” said Jane Co, Silka’s Marketing Head. “As a Silka lady, Angelica embodies tunay na alaga, and chooses those that will not hurt her. Beautiful and smart, she is an inspiring example for Filipinas” Co added.

Experience puting walang hapdi in as early as 7 days and celebrate a White Weeksary with Silka Green Papaya soap to look and be your best all the time.

One of the milk tea brand or should I the cult favorite, the CoCo, just recently won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Milk Tea brand, has officially kicked off its much buzzed-about 3-day CoCo Chill Camp today at the SM Mega Fashion Hall, this is one happy celebration uniting the CoCo fans.

The CoCo Chill Camp is CoCo's way of expressing its warmest thanks to its hordes of fans who have tirelessly queued up in all its branches nationwide, to get their personal favorite drinks.

Ever since young entrepreneur Larry Evans Tan brought CoCo to the Philippines five years ago from the milk tea capital of the world, Taiwan, CoCo has rapidly become a top player in the Filipino milk tea craze and is one of the strongest markets of the CoCo brand worldwide.
CoCo leads in the global tea market with a formidable 4,000 branches spread out across the world and posting an incredible sale of 100 cups per second globally.

In the Philippines, where it has become the go-to milk tea brand, one CoCo cup is sold every 4 minutes via delivery alone - further proving the love for CoCo that expands beyond the physical store.

“We’ve seen how well CoCo was received by Filipinos. The CoCo Chill Camp is our way of showing our loyal fans and supporters that we feel their love. And so we want to give them back the happiness that our drinks have brought to their lives, by giving them an experience that’s uniquely created for them,” said Tan, CoCo Philippines General Manager.

The CoCo Chill Camp showcased fun activities for everyone’s delight, including a CoCo Panda Pit, CoCo Pachinko, and CoCo Pearl Toss. These games come with with exciting prizes for lucky guests.

Exclusive limited edition CoCo merchandise were also sold at the CoCo Chill Camp, including the CoCo shirts with cool designs that would make every CoCo lover wear it with pride.

Social media rockstars, who are self-confessed CoCo lovers, ThatsBella, Rei Germar, Janina Vela and LA Aguinaldo, joined the other CoCo fans on the opening day, sharing their love for the brand and revealing their favorite CoCo drinks. ThatsBella and Rei also had the opportunity to visit Taiwan last month to interview CoCo founder Chairman Tommy Hung.



And if CoCo fans could not seem to get enough of the bestsellers—Panda Milk Tea, 3 Buddies Milk Tea, White Pearl Milk Tea, and Passion Fruit Tea Burst, CoCo launched a new flavor that is quickly starting to be the new favorite—the Caramel Chocolate Cream, EXCLUSIVE to the Philippine market.

CoCo favorites: Panda Milk Tea and 3 Buddies Milk Tea

This latest concoction of sweetness, as Tan described it: “waves of caramel blended with chocolate slush over velvety salty cream makes a drink that is decadent for the local palate.”

New from CoCo: Caramel Chocolate Cream slush

Explaining the rationale behind this new Philippines-only product, Tan said, “We wanted to create a unique offering that we know the Philippine market would be drawn to. What’s better than caramel and chocolate? This is definitely something new beyond the milk tea that CoCo is known for.” Tan explained.

CoCo favorites: White Pearl Milk Tea and Passion Fruit Tea Burst

The overwhelming reception of CoCo in the Philippines made Tan very much optimistic with the future of CoCo among Filipino milk tea lovers. “We are definitely responding to the clamor of our customers into bringing CoCo more accessible to them, we are opening our 2nd branch in Cebu by the end of the month and we’ll be opening our 1st Mindanao branch soon. And we continue to explore with new flavors that we know our customers would love,” he revealed.

The CoCo Chill Camp will run until September 19 and Tan invites all CoCo fans to join in the fun and bring their friends and families to experience the dynamic vibe in the camp that the brand is known for.

When was the last time you had an LSS or Last Song Syndrome? Well, we all do experience this and for this season of the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino you'll definitely will have an LSS with the movie where real-life couple Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos with today's most sought band, Ben&Ben are the cast.

The LSS or Last Song Syndrome is a film about Sara (played by Gabbi) and Zak (played by Khalil), who are an aspiring musician and a software engineer, respectively. And just like any other individual, their comfort is music in which they follow the upcoming indie-folk band called Ben & Ben.



The entire band members of Ben&Ben are also casted in this movie where they play the roles of themselves.

During the bloggers conference which was held in Tipsy Pig in Timog, QC, a lot of stories were disclosed and shared by the cast and the producers. Here are some of the stories that might interest you to know.  "Gabbi and Khalil were casted separately that the producers didn't have any idea that they are real-life couple." and "Ben&Ben is one of the bands that the couple loves to listen to."


“LSS  or Last Song Syndrome is directed by Jade Castro under Globe Studios, Dokimos Media Studios Inc. and Ben&Ben.

The film will be one of the films that will be showing on September 13 to 19, 2019 as part of the PPP celebration.

One in three young people in 30 countries said they have been a victim of online bullying, with one in five saying they skipped school due to cyber bullying and violence, according to a new poll released today by UNICEF, the United Nations organization working for children’s rights.

In the Philippines, latest national data show that cyber violence affects almost half of children aged 13-17.[1] The prevalence of cyber violence for males (44 per cent) is almost the same for females (43 per cent).

One-third of cyber violence experienced by Filipino children are in the form of verbal abuse over the internet or cellphone, while a fourth are through sexual messages. More females received messages of sexual nature or content than males. However, twice as many males than females reported having their nude body or sexual activities, whether real or falsified, shown on the internet or cellphone.

Violence against children, in all forms including online bullying or cyber bullying, has devastating effects on the physical and emotional well-being of young people. This can create lasting emotional and psychological scars, even physical harm. It is particularly challenging to address since children are vulnerable and have easy access to the internet, making them easy targets of online violence.

In the UNICEF U-Report poll conducted in June 2019, almost three-quarters of young people from 30 countries said that social networks including Facebook, Instagram, Snap chat and Twitter are the most common platforms for online bullying. Being connected online means that school no longer ends once a student leaves class, and neither does bullying.

The U-Report further revealed that 32 per cent believe that the government is mainly responsible in addressing online bullying, 31 per cent said that young people are responsible, while 29 per cent said internet companies. These show that opinions are equally divided on who should be responsible for ending online bullying – highlighting the need to involve children and young people in the shared responsibility.

UNICEF is calling for urgent action to implement policies that will protect children and young people from bullying – both online and offline. Addressing the problem requires action from all of us.

Establishing and equipping national helplines to support children and young people in reporting violence is a concrete step. Training teachers and parents to respond to and prevent bullying will ensure the safety of children and young people, particularly the most vulnerable ones.

Gathering better data about the online behavior of children and young people, and how criminals are using the internet, will guide policies and action plans.

UNICEF is also urging social media and social networking service companies to improve ethical standards and practices in collecting and managing information of children.
