Five lucky TNT subscribers welcomed the new year filled with unforgettable 'saya' moments through their special meet-and-greet session with TNT katropas Kathryn Bernardo and Joshua Garcia, one of the many special prizes of the TNT Paskong Panalo promo.

Just by registering to their favorite TNT promos, Benjie Carpio of Pasig, Gelica Gemina of Quezon City, and Ophelia Dantes of Tarlac racked up raffle entries that paved the way for them to finally meet Kathryn and have a free-flowing conversation with her over lunch - much like katropas catching up with one another. ‘Napaka-humble and napakabait niya’ "Di ako makapaniwala na nasa harap ko si Kathryn! Sobrang na-appreciate ko po itong experience," said Gelica, 34, a BPO employee and TNT subscriber for 14 years. "Cloud 9 po talaga ang feeling. Di ko rin inexpect na sobrang friendly at sobrang wise ni Kathryn. Worth it po talaga yung puyat ko," said 29-year-old Ophelia, who traveled to the venue straight from her graveyard shift.

"Kinabahan po ako at di talaga makapaniwala," said 34-year old Benjamin, who sat directly across Kathryn throughout the entire session. "Napaka-humble at napakabait niya at sana hindi siya magbago.”

As a TNT katropa, Kathryn gamely talked about her career and personal life, and even shared life advice with the lucky subscribers during the intimate gathering. ‘Say words of affirmation as much as possible’ "Di kami lumaking expressive. Pero ngayon na may pamangkin na ako, we're trying our best to say words of affirmation as much as possible. We learned that it's important to say 'I love you, thank you, and I'm sorry' to children," Kathryn said. "Also, please don't forget to take good care of yourself. Wag niyong pabayaan ang sarili niyo dahil marami kayong iniintindi," she reminded the three subscribers. ‘Hindi ko po ito malilimutan’

On the other hand, two other lucky subscribers - 37-year-old Najer Basser of Iloilo City and 30-year-old Roselyn Ricorte of Pagadian City - went on to meet and exchange life stories with Joshua.

"Akala ko po talaga ay scam lang to nung una, kaya sobrang saya ko po nung nakita ko si Joshua. Maraming salamat po sa TNT, hindi ko po ito malilimutan," said Roselyn, who left her small sari-sari store for a day just to fly into Manila and meet Joshua.

“TNT lang po talaga ang load na binebenta ko sa may amin sa Pagadian kasi yun po ang malakas ang signal,” she said. "Yung pamilya ko naman, gustong makipagpalit sa akin para ma-meet si Joshua! Nagpapasalamat ako sa TNT kasi ‘di ko inexpect na mangyayari ito," shared Najer, who makes a living selling slippers and sandals at a public market.

 'Maging mabuti at magtrabaho nang marangal' "I-video call natin sila para maniwala sila," Joshua urged the Roselyn and Najer, and then chatted with their families, sending them into a frenzy. "Maraming salamat po dahil bumyahe pa po kayo nang malayo just to spend time with me. I really appreciate your time," said Joshua, who also shared about his experiences as a Batangueño being new to the city.

“Na-overwhelm ako noon sa mga building at sa dami ng pwedeng gawin dito. Pero ngayon, mas na-appreciate ko na yung katahimikan sa probinsiya,” he said. Asked for life advice to share with the two subscribers, Joshua said: "Siguro pareho lang sa payo sa akin ng tito kong pari - maging mabuti at magtrabaho nang marangal at walang tinatapakang ibang tao." "Naniniwala rin po ako na darating ang success pag nagsusumikap at kumikilos tayo," he added.

Aside from Christmas Celebration, Fiesta, and other holidays, election is one of the anticipated event in the country. I think people are used to getting ready to know who among the usual public officials are making their moves to "serve the country".

With the rise of technology and perhaps the growth in awareness of all Filipino people it seems that candidates are in for thorough screening before this government officials to be take their oaths which is to serve the Filipino people.

Just recently, we witnessed in the news those individuals or parties who filed their Certificate of Candidacy or COC. There are some who were highlighted on the news but there are others who were on the sidelines.

After the filings of COC for the coming 2019 election, I managed to meet one of the Candidate for the Senatorial position. His name is Atty. Angelo De Alban, a lawyer and a professor in the University of Sto. Tomas.

According to Atty. Alban, he wanted to run for senator because he seeks to improve laws in the education, health, agriculture, and housing program.

He intends to serve the public consistent with his advocacies on bio-health, agriculture and education. He would be the voice of the ordinary people often neglected because of under representation. He intends to be their champion at a time when the Philippines is facing crisis, one after the other—a divided nation, a country threatened with terrorism, a high inflation rate and rising cost of living.

One of Michaela's highlights for 2017 is  their way of giving back to their patrons. Aside from producing and having quality products, they tend to give their customers something in return by simply having a meet and greet with one of their endorsers, Jak Roberto.
For those who doesn't know Jak Roberto that much, he is also known as the Pambansang Abs of the country, he is currently under the management of GMA Artist Center. His recent project was a primetime show entitled "Meant To Be" where he co-stared with Barbie Forteza. On the said show, Jak Roberto's character marked as Team Andoy or Team Pandesal. So in short his more known as Andoy.
Last June 25, one of Michaela's branch in 168 Mall in Divisoria, Manila held its Meet and Greet with Jak Roberto. As expected the store was packed with fans and mall goers. It was really crowded and there were too many customers who purchased some Michaela items just to have a chance to personally meet the actor Jak Roberto.





What I like about Jak Roberto is that he's accommodating and there were no dull moments with him. Michaela customers were all smiles when they left the store because they were able to meet their idol Jak Roberto.
Customers who lined-up for the meet and greet made sure that their cameras were always ready, especially when it was their time to have a moment with Jak Roberto. They were able to have a chit chat with him and of course the special photo session that they will definitely consider it as one of the special days of their lives.



As way of giving back to his fans, Jak Roberto did a special performance. He serenade the crowd with a song and of course made everyone feel how he acknowledge his fans. There were shouting and screaming heard when Jak went at the front of the store to give a chance of glimpse for his fans who would be able to join the meet and greet.

Here are some of the videos during meet and greet with Jak Roberto








Kilig moment, crying, shouting, screaming, and giving of gifts, those are memorable experiences happened during the meet and greet with Jak Roberto. Customers were very thankful to Michaela for giving them a chance to have a moment with the actor. Same with Jak Roberto who were very grateful and thankful to those who came on this event and to Michaela for getting him as an endorser.
I personally ask him why he love Michaela that much and his feelings toward the management of Michaela, and here is what Jak Roberto said.
Michaela is not new to me, I have my own bags and wallet. I personally like their products because of durability and uniqueness of designs. Michaela offers fashionable accessories such as bags, belts, shoes and umbrellas in a very reasonable price.
