OCTOBER 2 at 7:30 PM

PHILIPPINES (September, 2016) -- ‘Age doesn’t matter’ is given a different perspective in the latest season of Younger which premieres this October 2 on Sony Channel.

Forty-year-old single mother Liza Miller (Sutton Foster) was able to reinvent her career and her love life as a much younger woman. Now living two separate lives, Liza has to make sure no one discovers her secret. 

Complications further arise in the returning season as a love triangle between Liza, her boyfriend, 26-year-old tattoo artist Josh (Nico Tortorella), and her boss, closer-in-age Charles (Peter Hermann) develops. While Liza begins to doubt her on-and-off relationship with Josh, she finds Charles interesting and starts falling for him. 

Questions suddenly make Liza’s double life more difficult to handle. Will she choose Josh, who knows her secret and makes her life fresh and exciting? Or will she choose Charles, who can give her a more stable future? And the biggest question of all: Will Liza finally reveal her secret as new threats emerge? Will she have the guts to reveal it before more people find out? 

With help from best friend Maggie (Debie Mazar) and colleague Kelsey (Hilary Duff), Liza has to face a tough call and decide as she deals with her dilemma and struggles with her situations as they become even more confusing. 

Younger Season 3 premieres the same week as the U.S. telecast on October 2, every Sunday at 7:30 pm. First & Exclusive on Sony Channel

Sony Channel is seen on SKYCable Channel 35, Cignal Digital TV Channel 60, GSat Channel 48

Brother’s effortless Refill Tank System redefines ink refilling

Tweet

Tedious, messy refilling process, and inconsistent printouts - a thing of the past with Brother’s smart, cost-efficient ink solution

Printer consumables—especially ink cartridges—can be a major pain point for many modern offices. In the Philippines, consumers often opt for low-cost alternative of having original ink cartridges refilled with cheaper and inferior ink formulas that can clog print heads and fail to deliver good printouts.

Brother International Philippines Corp., a leader in home and business IT peripherals, introduced a line of Multi-Function Centres (MFCs) that maximize productivity and savings through a smartly designed Refill Tank System. Built right into the machine itself (unlike other refilling devices sold by third-party manufacturers), the easy-to-use Refill Tank System allows users to maximize productivity and savings without risking poor print output and machine damage.

Three-step refill process

Topping up ink levels with the Refill Tank System is easy—users just have to follow three simple steps: open the cover, refill the ink tanks, and close the cover. The refilling process is so easy that users can do it on their own!

Brother also introduced several smart innovations to the system’s design, including a translucent cover that allows users to monitor ink usage at a glance, as well as a tank that can be refilled just by tilting the bottle at a 45-degree angle. At this angle, refilling is quick and mess-free; users will never spill and waste a single drop of ink. The ink goes straight into the tanks, and not on fingers, furniture, clothes, and important documents.

Powered by Genuine Brother ink technology

The Refill Tank System uses genuine Brother ink technology, which means that users never have to worry about damaging the printer heads or churning out low-quality printouts. Genuine Brother ink is specially formulated to deliver vibrant colors and efficient delivery of ink on paper surface.

High-volume print users are also assured of a fast ink calibration time with genuine ink. With the Refill Tank System, the proper alignment of print nozzles and heads takes place within seven minutes to guarantee uniform-looking printouts.

“The Brother Refill Tank System has set itself apart with its smart design and use of innovative Brother ink technology,” said Glenn Hocson, Brother Philippines President. “Built into our high-performing, productivity-boosting MFCs, this system goes one step further by delivering an impressive 6,000-page yield for black ink. It’s an effortless combination of increased productivity and maximum cost-efficiency!”

Tweet

All are super excited to see that the television host Mariel Rodriguez will be giving birth to a girl. It will be her and husband Robin Padilla’s first child. 

Mariel first suffered a miscarriage in March last year. She then lost a triplets pregnancy six months later. For her third pregnancy, she has undergoing heparin treatment to boost her chances of giving birth.

Since months ago, she has gone on a leave from work for her baby. She is grateful that ABS-CBN understands her delicate situation.

Mariel leaves for the US to give birth to her 1st baby girl sometime in November.  Last September 18, with a small group of bloggers had a joyful exclusive chat with a beautiful and glowing mom-to-be Mariel for a send-off party as she will leave for US this month.

Here are some from the mini chat with Mariel:

Mariel on her 7th month pregnancy :

In preparation for the coming baby girl, Mariel took several workshops which include newborn care, feeding class and the birthing class.

“A lot of people are saying you won’t need it because when the baby is there you know what to do, mother instinct will kick in.” Mariel said.

"But I feel it’s good to be prepared, it’s good to have yung may knowledge ka pa din na sarili mo, to learn and be prepared pagdating nya,” she added.

She gave up desserts as part of her diet which includes cakes and ice cream during her pregnancy.

Mariel on baby : 

“The baby is malikot, lalu na sa gabi. And I have to tell her it’s time to sleep kapag matutulog na kami.” But she was so excited. That is when the baby start to move she become more excited, alam mo na malapit na,” Mariel intimately shared with us.

Pinaglihi sa first sa steak, then chicken siopao and last is buko pie.

Why name Maria Isabela De Padilla : 

"It comes from two different women from Spain of the original Padilla descendants. Maria from Robin’s super, beautiful lola. And Isabella, is one of the conqueror of Spain. The name given was intended to mean greatness. And Mariel stressed that the baby would be called Isabella. No Bela, no Isa, it must be Isabella."

“The baby doesn’t have a yaya, the baby’s yaya is me but I have a yaya,” she noted laughing. As she added she is prepared to breastfeed her baby.

Gladly to see Mariel is relax now and enjoying her pregnancy and always praying for a healthy baby.

On question why she is giving birth in the US: 

“Alam mo yung nandito tayo madaming distractions (work, etc.). Robin and I feel that the baby deserves 100% percent attention, kanya lang. We waited so long, and the baby deserved that. Sya lang lang ang bida. Hindi si Robin hindi ako, sya lang. That’s how we want to motivate the baby,” Mariel stressed."

When to come back?  

"It depends if the baby, and if Robin can come early, then there’s no need to fly back the baby early. Kawawa naman si baby kung one month old pa lang paliliparin mo na sya, mae-stressed sya. Kaya kung okay na si baby then that’s the time."

Congratulations Mariel and Robin! We will include you in our prayers. God will always bless you, protect you and your baby Maria Isabella.

Philippines (September, 2016) – AXN has one ‘Gy’ to save the world this September with MacGyver, a dynamic re-imagining of the iconic hit television series that was hugely popular in the eighties. 

Set to premiere September 29, first and exclusively on AXN, this modern-day take is an action-adventure drama that features Angus “Mac” MacGyver who forms a clandestine organization within the U.S. government.

The action-packed series follows the unconventional exploits of our young hardware hero as he undertakes high-risk missions to save lives around the globe. Highly resourceful and with vast scientific knowledge, MacGyver narrowly escapes life-and-death situations armed with a little more than common items, like a paper clip, duct tape, and his trusty Swiss Army knife. Joining him is the maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton. 

Lucas Till (Havok in the X-Men movie series) stars as MacGyver while CSI veteran George Eads plays Jack Dalton. Peter Lenkov (Hawaii Five-0, CSI:NY), Golden Globe Award winner Henry Winkler (Happy Days), Lee Zlotoff (MacGyver), James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring) serve as executive producers for the series. 

Expect lots of thrills in the premiere episode directed by James Wan of The Conjuring and Insidious fame as MacGyver puts his troubleshooting skills to the test and cleverly implements unorthodox methods to hurdle over complex problems and eventually become triumphant in the end. 

MacGyver premieres same week as the U.S. on September 29, every Thursday at 9:45 pm.

Jollibee, the country’s number one fast-food chain,  launches its first mobile app using augmented reality - JolliDance Showdown app that is sure to be a hit among Jollibee fans of all ages.

It was super fun Saturday, September 24, at Ascott Hotel in Bonifacio Global City, as Jollibee revealed the all-new mobile app that will make use of augmented reality (AR) with the help of the Jollibee Kids Meal box. It allows kids to try some interactive fun with the fast-food chain’s famous mascot, Jollibee.

The app was developed by renowned Los Angeles-based mobile innovation agency, Trigger. The agency has produced applications for other clients like Sony Pictures, Lionsgate Entertainment, and Lucas Film.

Going live with Jollibee AR beats

During the launch, Radio jock Chico Garcia and mom entrepreneur Bettina Carlos, along with her daughter Gummy, were the first to try these features. The experience began by watching the JolliDance Showdown app transform Jollibee’s friendly face on the Jolly Joy Box into a platform. These guests then captured photos for their screen avatars and, after choosing their image on screen, they watched Jollibee and friends enjoy Electro, Pop, and Rock beats.

Other features of the JolliDance Showdown App were also discussed, including unlocking new characters with every visit to Jollibee branches and scanning the Jolly Kiddie Meal promo board located at the store counters.

Just download the app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store for free. The dance showdown with Jollibee, Scan Jollibee character,  and your avatar that you can customize with a quick selfie! 

The other choice is the DJ for Jollibee mode where you can customize the tracks your avatar and Jollibee dance to based on the three music choices: Rock, Pop, and Electro. 

You can also add more fun with the Jollibee squad into the mix by visiting any Jollibee branch where you can scan the yellow portion of their promo toppers at the cashier to unlock more friends to dance with in the AR app.

Visit the nearest Jollibee branch so you can purchase a Jolly Kiddy Meal and get the Jolly Joy Box it comes with. The app will ask you to then scan the box and it will be the base for all the AR fun you and your kids are about to have.

“Everyone just really loves going to Jollibee. It struck us an important part of the Philippines’ pop culture," according to the Trigger team as they shared their experience in creating the app that captures the lovable persona of the dancing Jollibee. Trigger Senior Director of Client Services Natasha Weinstein shared their impression.

This quick immersion of the app’s designers determined the features and the overall appeal of the app. Trigger President and Executive Creative Director Jason Yim explains the app plays on the sense of community. “Getting friends involved and getting your own avatar involved, that’s definitely the most fun part. You can’t help but smile when you do it."

“The app is pushing how we can engage kids with augmented reality. It’s more than just having characters appear. It’s interactive and gives a much deeper experience.” 

The event shared the most recent effort of the leading fast-food brand to augment the langhap-sarap experience. Francis Flores, Jollibee Global brand chief marketing officer, says of its new partnership, 

“We are glad to work with Trigger to help enrich the Jollibee experience for children and for the young at heart with the launch of our JolliDance Showdown App. Being the first local fast-food to come up with an augmented reality game, we are very excited for our loyal customers who love Jollibee and Friends, as this gives them an opportunity to interact in a fun way using their mobile phones and tablets. Combining great-tasting food and augmented reality to level up their Jollibee experience -- now that is really an exciting way to engage our customers.”
