Rémy Martin launches 1738 Accord Royal in Whiskey Live Manila and Bar Show 2022

Tweet

French spirits house best known for its winegrowing heritage and cognac expertise, Remy Martin launched its newest addition to their Cognac Fine Champagne collection at the recent Whisky Live 2022 in Manila, the biggest liquor event in the world.

Selected for its oaky smoothness, the 1738 Accord Royal is a unique blend of cognac rooted in deep history – born from the cask and named in honor of the Accord Royal granted by King Louis XV to Rémy Martin in 1738.

The 1738 Accord Royal, described as a truly distinctive cognac, has exceptional smoothness and rounded oakiness that start with the toasting of the casks, before the eaux-de-vie begins to mature. Full of floral, fruity, spicy, and toasted flavors, it lends itself to a whole host of cocktails and food pairings.

“It is with great pride to introduce Rémy Martin’s newest 1738 Accord Royal to the Philippines,” said Rémy Cointreau Philippines Chief Representative Ed Guzman. “Our newest product is especially made for the younger market as it has extraordinary smoothness and subtle notes of toasted bread, vanilla, and brioche that can be enjoyed neat, on ice, or in a cocktail on any occasion.”

With its outstanding quality, 1738 Accord Royal has also been recognized and approved by experts in the most prestigious competitions, winning 4 double gold medals in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a gold medal in the Cognac Masters.

Aligned with the core values of Rémy Martin, the Whisky Live 2022 is the perfect event to have launched the newest product of Rémy Martin. Recognized as an international Spirits event – which takes place from London to Tokyo, Paris to New York, and some of the major cities in the world – the premier tasting event allowed thousands of guests to be the first ones to try the Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal in the Philippines.

“As we celebrate the comeback of Whisky Live Manila, there is no other perfect time to launch the 1738 Accord Royal. Aside from its quality, 1738 Accord Royal signifies and celebrates true depth of character and sheer indulgence of sharing good moments,” said Rémy Cointreau Philippines Country Brand Lead Myke Soon. “We want to make sure that the attendees will have a memorable experience as they celebrate life, and drink to life with Rémy Martin,” he added.

Rémy Martin is also set to bring the 1738 Accord Royal to different parts of Metro Manila this year, an exciting debut that casual and occasional drinkers should look out for.

Generation G in Full Swing: Kumu partners with GlobeOne for latest live talent search

Tweet

Over the month of October, fifty content creators battled it out on leading social entertainment app, Kumu, to become the final sixteen to be on Generation G: GlobeOne Creator Camp, a show produced in collaboration with GlobeOne, the app that contains everything you love about Globe—from managing your account to getting exclusive gifts and discounts.

Hosted by KC Montero, also Kumu’s VP of Content, and featuring celebrity judges Kimpoy Feliciano, Anji Salvacion, Benedix Ramos, and Eian Rances, this competition can be watched on Kumu’s own channel (@kumusocialtv on the app) and will be streaming live at 7PM PST on the following dates: November 15 and November 22, with the finale set for November 29. The first episode went live last November 8, which saw Dom Real come out victorious.

A “wildcard winner” will be selected to enter the finale to really shake things up, determined by the total number of GlobeOne app downloads they generated throughout a livestream challenge before the finale. In the original pool of fifty creators, there were already some considerable wins, with prizes ranging from a year-long GPlan Plus 799 to a Globe at Home Prepaid WiFi LTE Advanced Broadband setup. The grand winner will receive Php 500,000 in cash at the finale.

Unlike previous campaigns, which focused on particular and more categorized talents, Generation G gives a wide berth for creativity in its search for the next big content creators. “We’re anticipating that those watching will be inspired by what the finalists produce,” says Roland Ros, CEO and Co-founder of Kumu. “As a company, that’s exactly the kind of future we’re hoping to play a part in—we want to help stabilize and bridge the gaps in the creator economy, to rightfully reward originality and inventiveness.”

This is only one of many of Kumu’s fruitful partnerships. Names like The House of Collab, Philippine Volleyball League, Penlab, and Pinoy Big Brother have all touched the kumunity in varying degrees, establishing spaces for special interests and nurturing the people who are drawn to them.

“Social media and entertainment apps feel like gathering places now—much more than just an icon to tap when you’re bored,” says Rexy Dorado, President and Co-founder. “Not only are Kumu and GlobeOne inclusive stages for anyone who has something to share, but they’re also productive—people can really build a career and a community this way. As for Generation G in particular? Let’s just say I’m excited to see what happens when the wildcard winner gets thrown in!”

Watch it all unfold live on Kumu, available for download for iOS and Android; or get updates on discounts and other deals on the GlobeOne app, available for download here. Follow and use the hashtag #GlobeGenerationG for updates on the show and the finalists.

BAYAN KO – A Filipino Concert by Philippine Baranggay Folk Dance Troupe all set on November 26 – 27

Tweet

Come and celebrate the 76th anniversary of the Philippine Baranggay Folk Dance Troupe in a concert dubbed as BAYAN KO on November 26 (7 pm) and November 27 (3 pm and 7 pm) at the CCP Main Theater Lobby.

BAYAN KO is a depiction of the true identity of the Filipino people, showcasing the colorful and unique indigenous tribal and folk cultures with their customs and traditions, through music, song, and dance.

The artistic team of BAYAN KO is led by Ronnie Del Barrio (Director / Artistic Director of PBFDT); Mariano Santiago (Associate Artistic Director) and Jun Arandela (Musical Director).

Originally ‘barangay’ meant boats used by the Malays arriving on the shores of the Philippines during the pre-Spanish times. Later, the name came to connote the unit of government known as the ‘Pueblo’.

The word ‘barangay’, with its connotation of friendly association and harmonious living, was adopted by the Philippine Baranggay Folk Dance Troupe (PBFDT) to reflect its objectives of developing the physical, mental and social life of the individual through the cooperative effort of the members.

For the past seven decades, the PBFDT has traveled to the different stages of the world across Asia, Europe, and North America, providing a window to the complex and culturally rich history of the Philippines.

The troupe continues to research, preserve and showcase the diverse multicultural Philippine life, with its customs, traditions, various religions, depicting the gaiety and friendliness of its people through its performances of the native arts in their authentic form.

The folk-like and unaffected atmosphere of the performances have won the world over as they present the story of the Philippines through a panorama of songs, dances and music.

The troupe has received many citations and awards both nationally and internationally.

The most prestigious of these is the Philippine Presidential Medal of Merit Award ‘Patnubay ng Kalinangan sa Sayaw’ (1971)—a truly distinguished award of recognition for the important contribution the troupe is making to its home country.

In 2021, the PB proudly celebrated its 75th Anniversary, a testament to the pioneering leadership of the founding Artistic Director — the late Dr. Paz-Cielo A. Belmonte, awardee of the Gawad CCP Para sa Sining at Sayaw (1990), Philippine Centennial Awards (1999) and the Gintong BAI Awards (2005).

The PBFDT continues to excel as one of the leading dance companies in the Philippines, playing an important role in folk dance education, with most of its members being teachers and educators.

The group has had a significant impact on the development of the Filipino youth’s values in appreciation of their own culture, arts and traditions, particularly folk/traditional dance and music.

The PBFDT have traveled to Russia’s Red Square, climbed the Great Wall of China, visited the land down under in Australia, crossed the Berlin Wall and basked in the shadows of London’s Big Ben and Paris’ Eiffel Tower while criss-crossing all of Europe, danced on the stages of Las Vegas and Broadway and performed alongside Mickey Mouse in Disneyland.

Inspired and guided by the ‘Baranggay Spirit’ and discipline, members and alumni have organized folk dance groups in their respective schools/universities and communities worldwide, with the continued support of the mother company, previously under the leadership of Administrative & Creative Director, the late Mr. Eugenio C. Ticzon, or ‘Kuya Eugene’ as he is fondly remembered by most.

Indeed, the PB has expanded a thousand folds in its 76 years of existence — the longest running folk dance group in the country — and it will continue to expand to attain its mission of educating the Filipino youth towards appreciation, preservation and promotion of their Philippine cultural heritage.

Today, the dance troupe is under the new leadership of Administrative & Creative Director, Ronnie del Barrio, who joined the PB in 1982 as a Principal Dancer during his time at the PNC (now PNU). Ronnie’s career spans the past three decades, working as a creative director and choreographer, and a performer in London West End shows. Ronnie has worked closely with Philippine Embassies and communities across Europe as an arts consultant, collaborator and facilitator for cultural projects worldwide. Ronnie co-founded PB’s sister company, the Lahing Kayumanggi Dance Company (LahingKayumanggi.com), which has become widely recognized as Europe’s foremost Philippine cultural performance company.
