Marian Rivera at the Hana Shampoo Live Con 2018

Tweet

The beautiful celebrity endorser Ms. Marian Rivera made lively #HanaShampooLiveCon held at the Manila House Private Club in BGC last Thursday, June 28, 2018. 

Hana Shampoo, one of the fastest growing hair care brands in the country, recently held its very own #HanaShampooLiveCon – a digitally-led press conference that catered not only to attendees of the event but moreso for the thousands of fans of both Hana and endorser Ms. Marian Rivera, who were able to watch and participate real-time with live feeds aired via Hana’s Facebook and Instagram pages.

This increased accessibility, very much aligned to the brand’s main objective of bringing more and more Filipinas closer to achieving beautiful hair that’s “parang bagong shampoo hanggang gabi”. This is in fact Hana Shampoo’s tagline in its latest TV commercial, which encapsulates the benefit of long-lasting softness and fragrance of hair that Hana is able to provide.

It was this TV campaign and tagline that also served as inspiration to the two other highlights of the “Live Con” – the Hana x Flora Vida by Marian collaboration and the #HANAEndOfDayChallenge.

Hana x Flora Vida by Marian

Flora Vida by Marian, Marian Rivera’s very own floral shop uniquely offers beautifully preserved flowers that maintain their beauty and fragrance well beyond their usual lifespan. The collaboration therefore between Hana Shampoo and Marian’s passion for flowers thru Flora Vida, was therefore a perfect match, as both offer long-lasting beauty and fragrance benefits to hair and flowers respectively. 

There were three special Hana x Flora Vida floral arrangements were presented during the #HanaShampooLiveCon. 

Showcasing their beauty and fragrance for everyone to see – Twilight Roses, Nightfall Flowers, and Midnight Blooms. Their names inspired by the “’til evening” promise of Hana Shampoo for Filipina hair, and their fragrances matching the three Hana shampoo variants: Pink Roses and Berries, Spring Flowers and Apples, and Garden Blooms and Lychees.

 #HanaShampooLiveCon 

#HANAEndOfDayChallenge

An online campaign called #HANAEndOfDayChallenge was also launched during the event. Marian Rivera personally invited everyone to try the #HANAEndOfDayChallenge for themselves and chronicle a day in their life with hair cared for by Hana Shampoo. 

The objective of the campaign meant for everyone to gain first-hand experience of the all-day lasting benefits of Hana and how it’s able to keep up with each one’s lifestyle despite the hair’s exposure to various elements such as the erratic weather and arduous traffic. By participating in this challenge, more and more Filipinas will finally achieve not only soft, smooth hair but also that “Amoy Marian” fragranced hair throughout the day until the evening. 

Guests in attendance were given specially-made Hana End-Of-Day-Challenge Kits, which included sample bottles of Hana Shampoo and bathing products for them to easily try and post their results online. 

Hana Shampoo is setting the new standards for well cared-fm  kkor hair – and that’s soft and fragrant hair you can feel and smell even until the evening where it matters the most. 

With this benefit becoming more accessible to millions of Filipinas with the help of Hana and its products, this brand is surely poised to be the go-to hair care brand in the years to come.

Artinformal‎ to NIL (1987-2002) Curated by Erwin Romulo and Neil Daza

Tweet

Artinformal presents NIL, an exhibition curated by Erwin Romulo and Neil Daza at the gallery’s Greenhills location opening on June 9, 2018, 6PM. The exhibition will be on view until July 14, 2018.

Taking their cue from Daza’s Blacksoup exhibition in 2006, Romulo and Daza are mounting a new show of crime scene photographs taken between the years 1987 to 2002. Also included in the exhibition are video works by Cinema Regla.

Raw and at times graphic, the show asks: “Is there really such a thing as ‘the good old days’?”

Editor, writer, producer, and composer Erwin Romulo curated Everyday Impunity: Ang Mga Walang Pangalan, an exhibition based on the work of photographer Carlo Gabuco at Art Fair Philippines 2018 as well as an exhibition of sound art and multi-media art during the fair’s 2017 and 2015 edition, respectively. He was also one of the curators of Wasak! Filipino Art Today, shown in Berlin in 2015.

Filmmaker and photographer Neil Daza is known for his work in films like Bwaya, Emir, and Dekada ‘70, among others. In 2017, he marked his 25 years in the film industry with an exhibition at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, 25 Times: Images From Behind The Camera. He has curated several shows of photography for arts space Blacksoup in Cubao, including KAMBYO, an exhibition of cellphone images, and Detritus, featuring photographs from which this current exhibition is based.

Filmmaker collective and guerrilla media outfit Cinema Regla is an online magazine and channel run by documentary filmmakers Rico Ibarra, Blair Camilo and Jun Sabayton. Founded by visual artist, animator and director Roxlee, it is dedicated to covering Filipino culture, with a focus on (in no particular order) art, photography, music, literature, science, politics, history, environment, crime, violence, truth, sex, drugs, and budotz.
