The Street Lifestyle Store Celebrates the Re-opening of its Flagship Store in Greenbelt 3 with Top Influencers and Bloggers.

urbanAthletics, a leading street lifestyle retailer known for its meticulous selection of sneakers and apparel from the most sought-after sports brands, kicked off on a high note as it gathered top fashion bloggers and influencers from all over the metro to celebrate the re-opening of its flagship store in Greenbelt 3, Makati City last August 17.

urbanAthletics’ relaunch party is a fashion show in its own sense as bloggers and influencers readily pose for the cameras as they tour the leading street lifestyle retailer’s modern and sleeker flagship store.

Bloggers and influencers who joined the urbanAthletics family at the launch were David Guison, Vina Guerrero, Cha Ocampo, Deegee Razon, Kerwin King, Bea Benedicto, Ida Anduyan, Gela Munoz, and Janeena Chan. Other blogger-influencers who graced the party were Chin Chin Obcena, Patrice Averilla, Kim Cruz, Katt Valdez, Rea Bue, Trish Ramos, Yuki Tansengco, and GMA rising star Lharby Policarpio.

All guests were treated to an evening of good food and good music as they toured the sneaker store’s new modern-industrial interiors and perused its well-curated selection of sneakers and apparel. Attendees were also treated to a sneaker cleaning service by Crep Protect.

The relaunch party was a fashion show in its own sense as guests turned the store into their own catwalk, readily posing for the cameras as they tried on a pair of sneakers after another until they found the ideal shoe for their style. 

“The store redesign is part of the brand’s growing commitment to take the customer experience to the next level amid a constantly evolving sneaker market. We thank everyone who made this relaunch possible, especially our guests and all sneaker lovers who showed their support for this project,” said Toby Claudio, President of Quorum International Inc., the parent company of urbanAthletics

RTL CBS Entertainment: What Makes A Winning Mentor At The X Factor UK?

Tweet

Success isn’t always solely about talent or hard work. For aspiring singers at The X Factor UK, winning is also a matter of mentorship.

As mentors in their respective categories, judges play a huge part in guiding X Factor hopefuls from song selection to performance style ultimately so contenders can play the game to their strengths and win the crowd.

The UK’s most talked-about talent show has given us judges who’ve not only brought excitement to audiences worldwide for the past 13 seasons, but have also raised contestants to the top of the competition. Here we list down some of the crucial factors that set a winning mentor apart from the rest of the judging panel.

Firm, honest criticism

The truth may hurt, but an X Factor mentor must be willing to evaluate singing performance without watering down facts: vocal weaknesses, poor song choices, lack of originality, and strengths that can be honed and exploited. A little kindheartedness is always appreciated, though it shouldn’t get in the way of good, honest feedback when it’s needed.

An artist by their own right

Being an accomplished performer is an advantage that can give X Factor judges an edge when it comes to mentoring. Whether it’s about singing technique or the choreography, a top-charting artist with plenty of experience on stage and on camera would definitely have much to contribute to creating a performance worthy of a standing ovation.

Years in the music industry

A winning mentor doesn’t always have to be a singer to know what makes or breaks a performance. Years of working with recording artists and entertainers would allow an X Factor judge to build a wealth of knowledge needed to assess talent and help aspirants flourish as performers. A background in music production is definitely a plus.

Unwavering support

In a contest that stirs a lot of nerves, emotional support goes a long way to helping X Factor hopefuls feel confident in their talent as well as the hard work they’ve put in to advance in the competition. Even the slightest encouragement from a mentor can inspire contestants to believe in themselves more and do their best even in the face of an enormous audience.

This Season 14, who among our judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne, andLouis Walsh will bag the title of “winning mentor” and raise the next biggest artist to the top of the charts? Catch The X Factor Season 14 every Sunday and Monday at 10:30AM with primetime encore at 9:00PM, same day as the UK, first and exclusive on RTL CBS Entertainment.

RTL CBS Entertainment is available on SKYcable channels 53 (SD) and 196 (HD), SKYdirect channel 35, Destiny Cable channel 53 (Digital) and 89 (Analog), and Cablelink channels 37 (SD) and 313 (HD).

How ABS-CBN TVplus Strengthens Kapamilya Bonding

Tweet

ABS-CBN TVplus is not just for enjoying exclusive channels like CineMo and Yey, but is also for family bonding while watching movies on KBO (Kapamilya Box Office).

This experience is available only to the 3.3 million owners of the ‘mahiwagang black box.’ This is just another innovation that the country’s pioneering digital terrestrial television brings to Filipino families today.

“We’re giving our Kapamilyas a chance to strengthen family bonding over weekends as they watch and enjoy movies together on the Kapamilya Box Office (KBO). It includes blockbusters, new releases from Star Cinema, MYX, and catch up of your favorite Kapamilya teleserye,” ABS-CBN head for digital terrestrial television Chinky Alcedo said.

“Additionally, KBO also gives them access to calls, texts, and mobile data for internet through ABS-CBN mobile, so the family can stay connected,” She added.

When families register to KBO 30, they can enjoy several movies, call, text, and surf the internet via ABS-CBNmobile. If they register to Super KBO 99, they get premium movies that are fresh from the cinemas that are bundled with ABS-CBNmobile’s trinet and mobile data.

“Kapamilya moms want the best value for their families, so the opportunity to enjoy movies at home, plus access to ABS-CBNmobile services offers a complete bonding experience,” Chinky explained.

Since KBO’s launch in 2016, families that have ABS-TVplus have had more enriching times at home.

Among those who have registered to KBO is 23-year-old Pamela Estupigan, a grade school teacher who lives in Manila. Pamela, her mom, and her sisters have enjoyed watching movies at home via ABS-CBN TVplus’ KBO like “Four Sisters and a Wedding” and John Lloyd-Bea movies, among others.

“I watch KBO with my whole family. It is always a good bonding experience for us because we get to spend more quality time together at home,” said Pamela.

Pamela also looks forward to watching latest Star Cinema movies on KBO with her family and shares that the service also encourages her to avoid patronizing pirated content.

This year, some of the movies that have premiered on Philippine television via KBO include Charo Santos’ “Ang Babaeng Humayo,” Kathniel’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” Lizquen’s “My Ex and Whys,” Sandara Park’s “One Step,” and Erik Matti’s “Seklusyon,” among others.

Meanwhile, the movies that will be featured on KBO this September are “The Third Party,” “This Guy’s in Love with You Mare,” “Pangil sa Tubig,” “The Strangers,” and “The Mommy Returns”(Sept 9-10); “Dear Other Self,” “Working Beks,” “Tumbok,” “24/7 In Love,” and “Walang Forever”(September 16-17); “Kita Kita,” “Amorosa,” “In The Name of Love,” “Girlfriend for Hire,” and “Third Eye” (Sept. 23-24); and “Camp Sawi,” “In My Life,” “Dilim,” “Dukot,” and Rematado” (Sept. 30-Oct. 1).

ABS-CBN is the first media and entertainment company in the Philippines to make the historic switch from analog to digital terrestrial television in 2015 to transform the TV viewing experience of Filipinos. Using digital signal transmission, ABS-CBN TVplus gives TV viewers dramatically crisp picture and sound. Aside from exclusive channels and KBO, TVPlus can also capture and broadcast channels that transmit in digital and is offered for a one-time payment fee.
