Falling In Love with INN Love the Series

Tweet

There are still so many beautiful boy’s love stories waiting to be told and shared and fortunately for us, one fine BL drama airing this merry month of May is INN LOVE. The Series.

Rodel J. Mercado directs. Script by MJ Diaz. First BL offering of Frontline Production Inc. and FLP Artist Management, INN LOVE The Series is a peek into an inclusive world where BL aficionados and the audiences will experience an authentic concept of love which will surely resonate to their emotions, eliciting delight kilig and good vibes and pulling the heart strings..

The latest BL romance presents the story of VJ Mendoza who plays Gino, a scriptwriter for an upcoming digital campaign who visits TK Resort for a much needed inspiration and summoning of his creative muses.

In the resort, he crosses path with Migo de Vera, who portrays Alex, a freelance model who is in it as well to to escape mend his broken heart. What happens to Gino and Alex, the paths they want to follow and are forced to follow and how from strangers to friends and to beingi n a a different kind of love, its blooming and blossoming are the highlights of this fresh BL series.

Mendoza on Gino: “He is a writer for an ad agency who finds himself having writers block so he decides to go to a resort so he can concentrate on writing,”

He adds:“Embracing him is easy because I believe that, everyone should be allowed to love anyone and everyone and not deal with the idea of suppressing it because of societal expectations and constraints. For me, love is such a powerful force that confinement is impossible. The only way through is by embracing it. I also believe that like gender, love is also a construct. So, there’s no right or wrong when it comes to choosing who and how you love.

“Alex is a tough looking guy who works as a freelance model who went to the resort to reflect, deal with a terrible break-up, and figure out what to do next,” De Vera talks about his role. “What I love about being him is is the manner he discovered the true meaning of self-love and acceptance.”

“For me, love is the most magical thing,” he carries on. “It always wins and if I have enough courage to trust love, then I will be able to trust life and receive my natural birthright of joy. Love has no timelines, expectations, or requirements. We should be able to love freely whoever we want.”

Introducing cast members are Niel Lariosa (Derrick, who is secretly attracted to Gino), Rey Correjado (Louise, TK Resort manager who admires Alex) and Anna Escobia (Leslie, Gino’s girl bestfriend).

Completing the cast are Pauline Almero (Kelly), Aaron Caringal (Nip), Daven Noveno (Cole), JC Legaspi (Drew), Micah Guevarra (Jesse) and Mitch Dayupat as Ms. Maya – Creative Director of Advertising Agency, boss of Gino.

In conclusion, Director Rodel Mercado declares: “We want our viewers to relish on the deliciousness of loving freely with no strings attached in contrast to self-torture brought by labeling one’s feelings as wrong or fearing of being judged. Each existing community is unique and perfect given all of its imperfections. Only when disallowance of other’s choices like having relationship with same sex begets a problem. Inn Love, The Series prays and wishes that aside from the BL drama supporters, the general public will have an open mind and heart or a curiosity to see beyond the external facade in order to discover the “being” behind it, the soul trying to express itself in hysical form.”

Media partners are Village Pipol Magazine and Mulat Media.

Pictorial Team are Creative Director: Rodel Mercado Photographer: Mark Rean Ramos Stylist: Joseph Palma Suit by: Jovan Dela Cruz Designer: Joseph Palma & Elsie Delos Reyes HMUA : Carl Siocon Studio: Village Pipol.

Jollibee Group Foundation, Temasek Foundation team up to feed communities, frontliners affected by COVID-19

Tweet

Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) has partnered with Singapore-based Temasek Foundation to augment the Jollibee Group FoodAID Program, which seeks to help feed healthcare workers and families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 Jollibee Group Foundation and Singapore-based Temasek Foundation partner donated 105, 650 meals across five Philippine regions.

Temasek Foundation is a non-profit philanthropic organization that supports programs that uplift lives and communities in Singapore and beyond. The Foundation aims to strengthen social resilience, foster international exchange and regional capabilities, advance science, and protect the planet.

Through the support provided by Temasek Foundation, JGF and its partners were able to distribute 105,650 meals across Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal from September to December 2020. Of these, 99,400 meals were served to communities, while the remaining 6,250 meals were served to healthcare workers from 20 public hospitals.

The FoodAID Program was implemented through three initiatives, all of which were supported by the Temasek Foundation.

First is the distribution of ready-to-cook food packs that were directly delivered to communities through JGF’s local partner organizations. JGF leveraged on Jollibee Group’s expertise in meal preparation and product development of specially designed food packs—Chicken Guisado and Beef Meatballs—that allow more people to be provided with nutritious, delicious meals at a lower cost.

Second is Project Karinderya—a program that helps feed families while facilitating livelihood development of karinderya (local food stores) operators. Through the support from Temasek Foundation, JGF partnered with Kasagana-Ka Development Center (KDCI) and Kabuhayan sa Ganap na Kasarinlan Credit and Savings Cooperative (K-Coop) to re-establish 30 karinderyas that served 200 families with daily meals for 30 days. JGF also provided training for karinderya owners and health cadets on food preparation, food safety, and customer service to further build their capacities and help them become self-sufficient even after the project duration.

A health cadet trained through Project Karinderya helps ensure that karinderya operators observe standards on food preparation, food safety, and customer service in Quezon City. Project Karinderya is a two-in-one program that helps both karinderya owners whose operations were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and families in urban poor communities through meal subsidies.

Third is the distribution of ready-to-eat meals to healthcare workers who are working at hospitals in Metro Manila with the highest incidences of COVID-19.

The Jollibee Group FoodAID Program distributed meals to healthcare workers on the frontlines of the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.

“COVID-19 is a global long-term public health crisis, undermining not just our physical and mental health but also our economy and livelihoods. Viruses do not respect borders and it is only when we band together as one will we be able to defeat this global enemy. We are happy to work with Jollibee Group Foundation in the Philippines to provide more than 105,000 meals and other support where they are most needed. The smiles and resolve of the beneficiaries to soldier on and pull through together is an indication that we are on the right track,” said Mr. Benedict Cheong, Chief Executive of Temasek Foundation International.

“There exists a need for sustained collaborative efforts that can effectively promote access to food among communities by the pandemic and recent disasters. We thank the Temasek Foundation for their trust in the Jollibee Group and their belief in the objectives of the FoodAID Program. Truly, crises such as this pandemic have the power to band like-minded people and groups together,” said Jollibee Group Foundation Executive Director Gisela Tiongson.

Together with partners and donors, Jollibee Group FoodAID Program has mobilized Php300 million (USD 6.2 million)-worth of food assistance or 4.7 million meals for families and frontliners from March to December 2020.

As the social development arm of Jollibee Group, JGF implements programs on agriculture, education, and disaster response with partner communities nationwide.

Made possible through philanthropic endowments gifted by Singapore’s Temasek, Temasek Foundation’s programs strive towards achieving positive outcomes for individuals and communities now, and for generations to come.

Cebuana Lhuillier International Payout Cash Panalo Promo concludes with senior citizen taking home PHP1M grand prize

Tweet

Cebuana Lhuillier International Payout Cash Panalo winner Rosita Guerrero Nisperos recently received her winnings from Cebuana Lhuillier La Union Area Head Alan Paul Ramirez (left) and Deputy Area Head Jade Eulalio (rightmost). Joining her is husband Vuenabentura Nisperos.

A former asin vendor who used to peddle her wares along the streets of San Fernando, La Union emerged as the lucky winner of Cebuana Lhuillier’ year-long International Payout Cash Panalo Promo. Rosita Guerrero Nisperos, 62 years old, emerged victorious out of millions of entries to take home the One Million Pesos grand prize tax-free.

Cebuana Lhuillier International Payout Cash Panalo, which ran from March to December 2020 in all 2,500 Cebuana Lhuillier branches nationwide, is the company’s way of showing its appreciation to the millions of OFWs working hard across the globe, by providing accessible financial services to their beloved families back in the Philippines.

“OFWs have always served as the unsung heroes of our local economy, and have always served as the strength and backbone for many of their families here in our country. At Cebuana Lhuillier, we are happy to serve as a partner in ensuring that the fruits of their hard work and labor, their hard-earned money, will be received quickly, safely, and efficiently by their families in the Philippines, no matter where they may be,” Cebuana Lhuillier president & CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier said.

Nisperos, a long-time Ka-Cebuana, regularly transacts at the Cebuana Lhuillier La Union 2 branch to receive remittances from a daughter who is currently an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) in Saudi Arabia. Part of the remittance would go to Nisperos and her 65-year-old husband’s daily needs, including maintenance meds to treat her asthma, while the rest would be handed over to her daughter’s family.

For a long time, both husband and wife worked various jobs in order to place food on the table and to raise their four children, two of which now work abroad. Rosita would peddle asin, plying the streets of San Fernando, while her husband used to work part-time in construction sites and neighboring farms. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, both had no choice but to stay indoors and rely on the remittance sent by their children from abroad for their living expenses.

A longtime client of Cebuana Lhuillier, Nisperos relied on her trusted branch for all her financial needs. Since she is the only one in her family who had a valid ID, she would visit the branch once a month, sometimes even more, usually to get remittances intended for various family members and even in-laws, “More than ten years na ako kliyente ng Cebuana Lhuillier dito sa San Fernando. Mabilis ang serbisyo at mababait ang mga guards at empleyado. Inuuna din nila ang mga senior citizens. Kaya mas gusto kong dito nagpupunta,” Nisperos remarked. Her frequent visits to the branch earned her multiple raffle tickets which qualified her to the then-ongoing Cash Panalo promo for international remittance. One of the raffle tickets for a remittance worth P15,000 served as her lucky break in clinching the One Million Pesos grand prize.

Nisperos enthused that her winnings is about to change her life and that of her family’s. First on her list is to fix their small home and then start her dream business, a store which she will manage with her kids. During the awarding of the cash prize, Nisperos was in tears as she relates her plans post-win, “Sobrang hirap na hirap po kami sa buhay. Madami po kaming pagsubok na pinagdaanan at nagsumikap po kami para lang makaraos sa araw-araw. Ngayon po, sa tulong ng Cebuana Lhuillier, mababago ko na po ang buhay naming mag-asawa pati na din po ng aming mga anak. Maraming, maraming salamat po, hindi ko ito makakalimutan.”

On top of fixing their home and starting a business, Nisperos made it a point to still save for a rainy day. She also made sure to deposit a small part of her winnings to her Cebuana Lhuillier micro savings account, which will come handy as she begins life anew.

Meanwhile, to further heat up summer, Cebuana Lhuillier recently launched, “Winner TECHs All,” an electronic raffle promo open to all clients who will claim their international remittance sent through partners abroad in any of Cebuana Lhuillier’s 2,500 branches nationwide. With as much as One Million Pesos to be given away in prizes, at stake for the monthly raffle include 40 smart phones and 40 tablets; as well as 40 e-Scooters, plus PHP5,000 cash each for the final monthly raffle.

For more information, head to www.cebuanalhuillier.com or visit the Cebuana Lhuillier page on Facebook. Promo runs until June 30, 2021.

Rescan your digital TV box to watch Kapamilya shows: ABS-CBN shows bring entertainment to TV5's primetime

Tweet

Filipinos enjoy a nightly feast of action, inspiration, ‘kilig,’ and entertainment by watching TV5, where fresh episodes of ABS-CBN teleseryes such as “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” “Huwag Kang Mangamba,” “Init sa Magdamag” and the Asianovela “Count Your Lucky Stars” are aired from Mondays to Fridays.

Viewers who use any digital TV boxes at home such as the TVplus box only need to rescan their device to be able to watch Cardo’s adventures, Mira and Joy’s miracles, Tupe’s fiery hot scenes, and Jerry Yan’s newest series on TV5.

In the ‘pambansang teleserye’ “FPJ’s Probinsyano,” Cardo (Coco Martin) continues his crusade to avenge the death of his dead wife by taking Lia (Jane De Leon) captive and evading the Black Ops team as he figures out his next steps.

Viewers can also get hope and inspiration from “Huwag Kang Mangamba,” where Mira (Andrea Brillantes) and Joy (Francine Diaz) are slowly but surely bringing the town of Hermoso closer to Bro while strengthening their efforts to rebuild the town’s church.

The past comes back to haunt the present in “Init sa Magdamag,” where the worlds of former lovers Tupe (Gerald Anderson) and Rita (Yam Concepcion) are bound to collide as they work together on a community project.

The Tagalized “Count Your Lucky Stars” also kicks the ‘kilig’ and drama up a notch as Calvin (Jerry Yan) and Andi (Shen Yue) figure out how to deal with their relationship and work issues after she drunkenly confessed her feelings to him.

TV5 is one of the many platforms where Filipinos can enjoy their favorite shows as ABS-CBN continues to find ways to reach audiences wherever they may be. Last week, ABS-CBN launched its "Andito Kami Para Sa' Yo" plug on social media, a year after the shutdown of its broadcast operations, to reiterate its commitment to serving and providing Filipinos with entertainment through its shows on free TV, cable TV, and online.

Besides TV5, viewers nationwide can also catch these four primetime shows on cable TV through A2Z Channel at Kapamilya Channel. Fresh episodes of “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” “Huwag Kang Mangamba,” and “Init sa Magdamag” are also aired on Jeepney TV. “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” is also available on CineMo.

New York-filmed Jollibee video offers a perspective of hope and gratitude in this challenging time

Tweet

In the future when we look back on today, how would we describe the pandemic? What version of history would we tell?

This is the theme of Jollibee’s first internationally produced film developed by BBH Singapore, which reinterprets the brand’s tagline of “Joy of Family” in the context of the current pandemic.

When the pandemic broke out, everyone was unprepared and had to face an uncomfortable reality – that life as we knew it changed overnight. It was painful, scary, and upended lives around the world. Yet it is in our darkest hours when we see what’s most dear to us - our families. From physically spending every waking hour together in lockdown to long video calls across continents, our family was what got us through. This was the year of the pandemic, but it was also the year of the family.

The 3-minute-long campaign film titled “A Message from the Future”, shot in New York and directed by award-winning director Law Chen, tells a perspective-changing story about the times we are currently living in, which will leave you feeling grateful for the time you have with your family, and how through it all it is the Joy of family that gets us through all the hardships.

In a departure from the brand’s usual campaigns, the current film adopts a sombre and realistic tone as it goes in the future to record a nostalgic and emotional story of a migrant Filipino family based in the US. Set in 2060, the film shows a grandfather recounting his memory of the pandemic to his grandchildren. The story starts off on a bleak note but gives way to hope and joyful family moments that could have only happened because the family spent more time together, a transition highlighted through the film's progression from black & white shots to coloured ones.

Francis Flores, JFC’s Philippines Country Marketing head and Jollibee PH Marketing head, said: “Jollibee as a brand has been all about the joy of family, and while in our current times it may be difficult to focus solely on that aspect, we realize just the same that there’s a silver lining in all this. Coming from a powerful truth that we are spending time with our families more than ever, it has never happened before and may never happen again – we wanted this campaign to acknowledge the grim reality of the current pandemic but still give a positive message of hope. It’s all about appreciating these moments with them and finding the ultimate Joy with family. Our families have been a comforting factor for most of us in these tough times and we wanted everyone to be grateful for that.”

Jollibee is releasing this heart-warming digital short film as the grand culmination of the brand’s new Family Thanksgiving Month initiative. “The Family Thanksgiving Month is not just a celebration here at home. We’re hoping that all families, whether Filipinos living abroad or other nationalities, will be inspired to start a tradition of expressing their appreciation for their loved ones,” Flores added.

You can watch the video on Jollibee’s official Facebook page and Jollibee Studios’ YouTube channel.
