Save the Children Philippines launches eSave Natin ang Pasko

Tweet

 

Christmas is the most awaited season for most Filipinos, especially children, but the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the way the upcoming holidays will be celebrated—it’s going digital!

Save the Children Philippines is launching eSave Natin ang Pasko, an online fundraising campaign that encourages everyone to unite in saving the Christmas spirit through a series of joyous and meaningful activities to provide joy and hope to children. These include 22 million learners, who have been experiencing major challenges such as the lack of access to learning materials and internet connection, as they struggle to learn from home.  

The proceeds of the Christmas fundraising campaign will support the learning needs of children in poor households in Metro Manila, typhoon-stricken places in Eastern Visayas, and the conflict-affected areas in Mindanao. It will also support children with disabilities, those from indigenous communities and from hard to reach areas.

“Even if classes are conducted through distance learning or will resume via face-to-face, millions of children will still need our support as they continue to be deprived of their right to education since their families do not have the means to support their learning needs,” said Atty. Alberto Muyot, Chief Executive Officer of Save the Children Philippines.

eSave Natin ang Pasko also promotes the importance of a nurturing home through the “Mapagkalingang Tahanan” advocacy – where every member of the family, especially children, receives the support they need so they learn, survive, and are protected.

“Mapagkalingang Tahanan” emphasizes the critical role of parents, guardians, and caregivers in the continued learning of children and aims to provide them the knowledge and skills to facilitate their children’s learning. 

Also, in keeping with the tradition of Christmas caroling, eSave Natin ang Pasko features “Namamasko po!” – a fun group activity by schools, families, and companies showcasing their musical talent and creativity.

eSave Natin ang Pasko will be highlighted by a digital concert entitled “Awit Para Sa Mga Bata” on December 18 where Gary Valenciano, Lea Salonga, Martin Nievera, Regine Velasquez Alcasid, Ogie Alcasid, Arnel Pineda, Bamboo, Gian Magdangal, Lara Maigue, Kayla Rivera and Sam Shoaf will serenade the audience in the Philippines and those living abroad with Christmas songs. The digital concert will be produced by prominent theater artists Menchu Lauchengco Yulo and Michael Williams, together with Save the Children Philippines’ Bianca Elizalde. Catch Awit para sa mga Bata online on December 18, 2020, starting at 7pm. If you can’t catch the concert live, the video link will be active until December 19, 2020.

To watch the concert, make a donation through https://ticket2me.net/e/32182.  Each ticket is P800. Your donation will provide one family with a Family Learning Kit to help children learn during the pandemic. 

Donors and participants who will pledge their support to eSave Natin ang Pasko will receive tokens of appreciation and a chance to be featured on the social media pages of Save the Children and its Ambassadors Katarina Rodriguez, Xia Vigor, and Ria Atayde. 

“Education empowers children especially those in dire situations, and supporting their learning needs will save their lives and their future,” said Muyot.

Talent that knows no impossibilities

Tweet

A big voice in her own right, Jessica Sanchez is back to perform with an edgier look and a sound that is her own. Catch up with the powerhouse voice on November 10, 2018 in her self-entitled concert “Jessica Sanchez with special guest Martin Nievera” happening at The Theatre at Solaire.

Jessica Sanchez’s story is one that begins when a shy 16-year old girl dominated the stage with a voice that can go head-to-head with some of history’s icons. It may seem like she was dealt a lucky card, but behind the curtains, it couldn’t be anywhere near the truth.

“I was so young when American Idol happened,” she says. “I learned so much from the show, the people, and the experience afterwards. It prepared me for what was to come, the constant hustle and hard work.”

Born from immigrant parents who have established their lives in the United States and being in one of the world’s most watched singing competitions, one would hear many Filipinos say Jessica Sanchez was living the American dream. Some argued, however, that she was too American to be celebrated by Filipinos, adding the fact that she has never set foot in the Philippines prior her AI stint. But it was this opportunity that helped her touch base with a part of her identity that she has yet to fully discover.

“My first time being in the Philippines was for the Idol tour. I was so excited for my first trip to my mom’s homeland. It all happened so fast, but I remember it being full of amazing food, amazing people and amazing moments.” Jessica recalls.

The impact of the memories has not evaded her. In the years that followed, the Philippines saw Jessica perform on local television programs, radio shows, and held a concert for her freshman album. Her constant appearance has prompted most to wonder whether she will be back again, or maybe stay for good. Although with no certainty just yet, Jessica shares, “I try to visit at least once a year. I’m half-Filipino so I’m always wanting to learn and experience more of the culture.”

Contrary to stated prejudices, Jessica is more Filipino than meets the eye. Just like other Filipinos who quest for greener pastures under the star-spangled flag, she also fell prey to the unforgiving eyes of those who saw her as an outsider, sticking out amid fair skin, corn-hued hair and colored sights. Despite the fragility that her youth has handed, her voice set her apart – a voice that commands and resists to be contained. And just as what her Pinoy compatriots do best, she persisted with an awakened innate resiliency - a Filipino quality that ultimately shaped her. She says that times have changed, and minds are more open, especially in the business of entertainment. Truly, Hollywood has seen an influx of Filipino heritage gracing its regal red carpets. Apl de Ap of the popular group Black Eyed Peas – someone who Jessica considers as a friend – is one that has made a dent in the once highly exclusive music industry, and has at the same time, continued to wave the three stars and the sun. 

“It’s been harder in the past for Asian Americans to make a name in the industry, but I feel that now, it isn’t impossible.”

Believing that Filipino talent knows no impossibilities, Solaire’s Director for Entertainment Audie Gemora shares what’s special about this concert, “We were all witness to how Jessica rose above every challenge she had to face in the cutthroat Hollywood scene. Although she has found her footing in the United States, this concert will represent rediscovering her Filipino roots and bringing her beloved Filipino fans with her in that journey. The night’s performances will speak of every Filipino artist’s hustle that each must go through to make it in the music industry, and more importantly, the potential to become a global sensation.” 

Now 23, Jessica has kept the momentum going, but at her own pace, “These past years have been filled with traveling internationally for events, concerts, and recordings, but I’ve also taken some time to step back and find myself as an artist.”

Her upcoming concert will show her evolution and versatility as an artist with songs that are deemed as Filipino favorites such as “I Will Always Love You”, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" and “I Have Nothing”, which are coincidentally, among her Idol performance repertoire. This night will also see a new Jessica that’s bolder and grittier as she sings R&B songs alike that speak of her edge and vibrancy.

It has been seven years since her almost-victory. Bitter-sweet as it may sound, Jessica still feels blessed. “I am able to live my life doing what I love. I was given a platform on Idol when I was 16 and have accomplished things I’ve dreamed of," she says.

Even with the dominant Western look and feel brought by the land that cradled her, she continues to beat blood in her veins that epitomizes what the Filipino talent can reach and the kind of stage that it deserves.

CF Angeles presents star-studded shows starting October; Alden Richards, Martin Nievera and Vice Ganda in CF's prestigious line-up of top celeb performers

Tweet

Beginning this October 2015, to ensure to give the patrons only the best, Casino Filipino (CF) Angeles will continue to treat its patrons to star-studded shows featuring country’s top celebrity performers.

To be spotted at the Angeles casino branch are “It’s Showtime” host Vice Ganda (November 14), singer-song writer Jose Mari Chan (for the VIP Night on November 20), and the country’s undisputed concert king Martin Nievera (December 29).

Nievera is proud to have been chosen as one of the Filipino artists who will perform in Casino Filipino. “After years of performing in some of the major casino resorts all over Las Vegas and the world, it’s about time I perform here at home,” he excitedly said.

Since it will be his first time to hold a show in CF, Nievera vows to “squeeze in as many of my 33 years of music as I can in one show. It’s an honor to be added to Casino Filipino’s already very prestigious line-up of performers,” he added. 

CF Angeles will also feature the MYMP Band on October 14, actress-comedienne K. Brosas (with a live band) on October 17, Luke Mejares on October 23, and KZ Tandingan on October 28. 

In November, among the featured celebrity performers are The Company (November 4), Ivy Violan (November 11), Liezl Garcia (November 13), Vina Morales (November 18), Frenchie Dy (November 25) and Willie Nepomuceno (November 28).

One of the best Christmas gifts from CF Angeles to Aldub fans in Pampanga and northern Philippines, on December 2, the “Pambansang Bae” Alden Richards holds a show at the branch together with former Sexbomb dancer Rochelle Pangilinan. 

Comedians Le Chazz and AJ Tamiza will also bring the house down on December 16 with their unique brand of comedy while Randy Santiago will serenade casino patrons on December 23. Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola, along with a live band, will also entertain the Angeles casino guests on December 11 while Erik Santos is slated to hold another exciting show in the branch on December 26. 

Featuring a star-studded cast in its regular and celebrity shows is in line with CF Angeles’ launch of its ‘We Never Stop’ tagline last August.

After beefing-up its entertainment offerings and services, CF Angeles had also seen improved revenues and customer attendance.

“That was really our objective for launching a new slogan. Since we introduced the ‘We Never Stop’ tagline in July, we offered big celebrity shows and people now frequent the casino. Nag-invest tayo, maganda din naman ang naging balik,” said Branch Manager Redentor Rivera.

Rivera said that when Anne Curtis held her Annekapal concert in CF Angeles last August 20, they recorded P13 million in revenues. “The average we earn per day is just P8.4 million. That day, it was P13 million. August was really a record-breaking month for us.”

Customer attendance also grew by 16.08 percent in August compared to the same month last year from 76,000 to more than 88,000.

Rivera shared that quality entertainment shows greatly contributed to CF Angeles’ gaming operations revenue. 

“Entertainment is a very effective marketing tool. Like Las Vegas, they are also focused on entertainment. That’s the trend. We saw how effective it was so we did it here.”

Through celebrity shows, CF Angeles was able to develop new markets, Rivera explained. “After watching the shows, some guests would go to the gaming area to play. And they come back after experiencing the fun and the thrill of winning. Lately, we observed that there are many new faces especially in the Slot Machine area.” 

Celebrity shows, said Rivera, not only benefit the casino but also the whole province of Pampanga. 

 PAGCOR’s Head for Entertainment and CF Angeles Branch Manager Redentor Rivera

“We became a provider of quality entertainment to the locals and guests. Even residents from Nueva Ecija, Bulacan and other nearby provinces in Central and Northern Luzon come to watch our shows here,” Rivera said.

“Gagawin naming maganda talaga ang Casino Filipino Angeles. We will never stop creating quality entertainment and we will never stop providing our customers with wonderful experiences,” Rivera concluded.

Martin Nievera Stages A Repeat Of "3D (Tatlong Dekada)" On Nov. 22

Tweet

Martin Nievera, the Concert King,  proved to one and all that 30 years of musical excellence in an industry that usually thrives on change and superficiality, is a feat that only artists of extraordinary calibre and unbridled passion are able to achieve. 

Martin Nievera is, hands down, one such artist. He is extremely talented and in the 30 years that he has carved his name in the pillars of the local music industry, this gift has never wavered. He is loved back by his throngs of loyal fans and followers because he, first, showed them an utmost love and devotion to his craft rarely seen in an artist from whatever generation.

At his 30th anniversary billed "3D (Tatlong Dekada)" held last September 13 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Martin showed his audience why his artistry endures. The music - well-loved romantic ditties, chart-topping songs - is a given. So is the Nievera trademark of intelligent, decent and always humorous ways he entertains his audience. And perhaps the magic that weaves all these together in one neat package is the fact that everyone knows that by just listening to and watching him, they are one with MArtin Nievera, the man and the artist, in this very personal journey.

And this is what we can expect when our undisputed Concert King essays a repeat of the successful "3D (Tatlong Dekada)" concert happening on November 22, 7:30 PM in the same venue - the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The same brilliant production team is behind Martin in this repeat - musical director Louie Ocampo, the formidable ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra at the helm, stage director Rowell Santiago and the lovely phalanx of special guests which made the night doubly special for everyone. There will be an even bigger surprise at the night of the repeat as more world-class names are added to the special guests' list.

Produced this time by Nolstead, Inc., "3D (Tatlong Dekada)" caps Martin's 30 glowing years in the business. It was in 19982 when Martin was first heard in the Philippines, trying his luck as a singer as the son of timeless balladeer Bert Nievera.

As fate would have it, Martin did not just equal his famous father's popularity. He even surpassed it. His combination of mellow but powerful tones and energetic performing style gave him his own identity. He also easily proved himself a born hitmaker early in his career. He firmly established himself as a major talent in the local music industry with songs like Be My Lady, Each Day With You, Holiday, Please Don't Throw My Love Away, Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin and Say That You Love Me.

The ensuring years found him on television "Penthouse Live!" and "Martin After Dark," where his natural gift for gab made him ideal talk show host. And he made more hits, Kahit Isang Saglit, You Are My Song, Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin, Forever, Ikaw Lang Aking Pangarap, Kung Nasaan Ka Man and others.

But it is in this live concerts where his talents and successes blend together to present Martin Nievera whom fans love the most. That is why he came to be known as the Concert King and has staged many memorable, sold-out shows. "3D (Tatlong Dekada)" is now being numbered among those.

Martin said he loved singing OPM more than English songs saying he interprets them better because he feels the soul of the lyrics and the melody moves him. He's very thankful for every opportunity given to him and he hopes to make three more decades of love songs.

Thank you Polyeast Records Philippines, for giving me the chance to meet The Concert King Martin Nievera, and have an exclusive interview with him. 

The great singer behind the songs I've loved all these years, Martin was so accomodating while during  the interview of bloggers, he served us with his personalized Big Mouth Burger. And so friendly, he first asked me what color I want, when I said "pink",  he handed me his personal gift of mobile phone speaker.

You are the song 

Playing so softly in my heart

I reach for you

You seem so near

And yet so far

I hope and I pray

You'll be with me someday

I know down inside

That you are mine & I'm your true love

Or am I dreaming...

"You Are My Song" is one of my fave songs of Martin Nievera. I always listen to his songs, old and latest most loved hits!
