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.

The Department of Education (DepEd) signed a memorandum of agreement with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the construction of around 1,500 classrooms worth P2B.

Luistro expressed his gratitude to the agencies that continue to help in ensuring that “Filipino students get what they deserve.” He said, “We want to thank PAGCOR for being the biggest and most consistent partner in substantially investing in education, and DPWH for ensuring that school buildings will have building integrity.” 

“Classrooms are the most basic social infrastructure that we should continue to provide all over the country,” DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson said. He added that DPWH will deliver their commitment in building classrooms that are safe and beneficial for the students.

He said that PAGCOR believes that the future of the country lies in the youth. “The classrooms we are going to build are for them. Tuluy-tuloy po ang ating pagtulong sa DepEd. Hindi po tayo nagtatapos dito. Makakaasa po kayo na may karagdagan pa ito—either sa school buildings or computers. Let us work together for the dreams of our youth to be realized.” 

The classrooms to be built will be constructed by DPHW in accordance to the “build-back better” design with specific PAGCOR design elements. PAGCOR shall designate certain locations based on DepEd’s data on classroom needs which will be prioritized for the construction of classrooms.

The forty most beautiful Filipinas were presented to the members of the press and other guests during the Binibining Pilipinas 2014 Official Press Presentation held at the Luzon Ballroom of the Sofitel last February 19. 

The stunning young Filipinas who came from all over the Philippines walked the ramp in front of sponsors, guests, and the media.

The 40 beauty queen hopefuls were trimmed down from over a hundred aspirants during the rigorous four-day screening back in January. Since 1964, the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) has been the country’s prestigious discoverer and trainer of young ladies who represent us in well-known international beauty tilts. In a span of five decades, BPCI has proven its caliber as a credible institution that eyes these potential candidates, vaunting a resume that begins with Gloria Diaz’s Miss Universe win in 1969. In the last few years, the Philippines has been rising through the ranks as a beauty powerhouse with the impressive top five finishes of Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, Janine Tugonon, and Ariella Arida in the last four Miss Universe contests. 

Last year’s golden batch of winners, led by Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago and Miss Supranational 2013 Johanna Datul, Miss Universe 2013 3rd runner up Ariella Arida, and Miss Tourism Queen International 2013 Top 10 finalist Cindy Miranda, brought immense pride to the country by doing well in their respective international competitions. 

This year’s roster of candidates include local pageant winners, graduates from top schools, artists, working professionals, and models who went through months of extensive training even before they joined the pageant. 

The 2014 Binibining Pilipinas candidates still have a lot on their plates leading up to the Grand Coronation Night. The Fashion Show is set on March 6, and the much-anticipated Parade of Beauties will be held on March 22.

The Grand Coronation Night will be held on March 30 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and telecast live at ABS-CBN.

Miss Universe 2013 Maria Gabriela Isler of Venezuela and Russian pop star Emin will be two of the special guests in the Binibining Pilipinas 2014 Grand Coronation Night. Gabriela will be one of the judges during the pageant and will help crown this year’s winners, while Emin will lead the list of the hotly-anticipated performers in the 51st edition of the most prestigious beauty contest in the country.
