 About Doja Cat: 

Born and raised in L.A., 3-time GRAMMY nominee Doja Cat made her first upload to Soundcloud in 2013 at just 16-years-old. She developed a knack for music by studying piano and dance as a kid and listening to the likes of Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and more. Soon, she went from obsessing over Catwoman (the Halle Berry version) to “crate digging” on YouTube. The budding talent taught herself Logic and how to compose on a midi controller. Signed to Kemosabe/RCA in 2014, she released her Purrr! EP and followed that with her debut album Amala in spring 2018, but it was her August 2018 release of “Mooo!” which catapulted her into the mainstream and was met with critical acclaim.

Doja Cat released her sophomore album Hot Pink in November 2019 to mass critical acclaim, the album was a platinum success with over 10.3 billion streams worldwide. Hot Pink features “Juicy” which hit #1 at Rhythm radio, “Say So” her Grammy nominated #1 smash record and “Streets”, the viral sensation that soundtracked the ‘Silhouette Challenge,’ one of the biggest TikTok trends to date.

The success of “Say So” which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has been RIAA certified 3x platinum and streamed over 5.4 billion times catapulted Doja into global superstardom. In 2020 she took home the Best New Artist Award at the MTV VMAs, the MTV EMAs and the AMAs (where she also won the Best Female Soul/R&B Artist Award.) She has been nominated for countless awards including 3 GRAMMY Awards, 4 American Music Awards, 4 MTV VMA Awards, 2 BET Awards, and 2 People’s Choice Awards.  

Doja’s creativity and showmanship as a performer have been praised time and time again, she has delivered unique and show stopping performances on nearly all the major Award Show stages including the GRAMMY Awards, the American Music Awards, the Billboard Awards and the MTV VMA and EMA Awards. Her last tour sold out in 10 minutes and she has played numerous festivals including Rap Caviar Live Miami, Posty Fest, Day n Vegas and Rolling Loud LA.

About SZA:

Born in St. Louis and raised in Maplewood, NJ, nine-time Grammy nominee SZA released her major label debut album Ctrl (TDE/RCA) in 2017. Revered for its raw and honest lyrics, it landed at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart, No. 2 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, according to Nielsen Music. Pitchfork proclaims it “an opulent, raw R&B album that constantly tests the borders of the genre.” The now RIAA-certified 2x Platinum album received five Grammy nominations in 2018 and more than half the songs on Ctrl are now certified Platinum and Gold. Her hit song “All the Stars” with Kendrick Lamar from Black Panther: The Album, Music From and Inspired By, earned her another four Grammy nominations in 2019. SZA has won various awards since the release of Ctrl including Billboard Music Awards’ Top R&B Female Artist, BET Awards’ Best New Artist, Soul Train Music Awards’ Best R&B/Soul Female Artist and Best New Artist, MTV Video Music Awards’ Best Visual Effects for the “All The Stars” with Kendrick Lamar and NAACP Image Awards’ Outstanding New Artist in 2018. In 2019, she won NAACP Image Awards’ Outstanding Duo or Group for “All The Stars” with Kendrick Lamar and Outstanding Soundtrack/Compilation for the Black Panther Soundtrack. SZA also received Billboard’s 2019 Women in Music Rule Breaker award.

 In 2020, SZA released the hypnotic track “Hit Different” featuring Ty Dolla $ign along with the stunning visual that took the internet by storm. To close out the trying year, SZA gifted fans on Christmas Day with the hopeful track “Good Days,” followed by a trippy visual released in March. The single quickly became SZA’s greatest gainer solo single release, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and marking her first time in the chart’s top ten as the main artist. To this day, SZA continues to set the standard on creativity and break records. Approaching its 200^th week, Ctrlremains on the Billboard 200 chart and holds the record for the longest run for any Black female artist’s debut album.

Afterall, the very goal of this business venture is rooted to connectivity and people. We are here to bridge the gap between mid-tier market and high-performing devices that do not need to cost much.

Vice and Saridon, Match made in headache: Vice Ganda wishes for good health on another lockdown birthday

Tweet

A birthday is something everyone looks forward to. It not only allows us to look back at the year that was, it also allows us to envision an even better year ahead. Last year, comedian and television host Vice Ganda’s birthday celebration was held under unusual circumstances as the COVID-19 pandemic forced everyone indoors.

Last April 12, 2021, Isang Kabog Pasabog Na Araw Ka-Saridon! Kabog! Pasabog! SARIDON zoom webinar with Unkabogable Vice Ganda was held with media and bloggers.

Even as Vice Ganda celebrated yet another birthday under lockdown, she chooses to have a positive outlook after the past year proved to be so difficult to so many people. Vice realizes Filipinos are trying to find some semblance of normalcy; even working doubly harder to address the economic concerns due to the pandemic. The efforts often cause headaches and pains due to the stress that goes with it. However, as they say, the show must go on. And on her birthday, Vice Ganda is praying and hoping for good health for herself and for her kababayan.

The good thing is Vice has a partner for moments when headaches strike. She knows that for headache relief, Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) is there for a faster and better effect. Its caffeine content, when combined with other analgesics like Paracetamol and Propyphenazone, makes the product work in as fast as 15 minutes and provide better pain relief vs. 500mg plain Paracetamol

Vice and Saridon: Match made in headache

This is why Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) comes in handy for someone like Vice who continuously works on many projects for long hours.

The unkabogable Vice Ganda juggles her schedule with content creation for her top rating vlog and shows on the Vice Ganda Network while still hosting “It’s Showtime!” on a daily basis. Balancing these and her other responsibilities is no joke and having a happy and positive mood is something Vice needs to be effective and sincere in her craft.

Vice’s prayers and birthday wish for good health will always be her priority with the primary reason of being able to provide fun and positivity to her millions of followers.

Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) associate marketing manager Toby Manlapat shares, “This pandemic has been a challenge to all of us but people who work hard like Vice Ganda need to relieve headache fast in order to get back to one’s normal disposition”

Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) is manufactured by Bayer, a trusted name in pharmaceuticals and consumer health for over 150 years. Paracetamol/ Propyphenazone/Caffeine is the generic name of Saridon Triple Action. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. Available in all leading drugstores nationwide and major online retailers. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
