PHILIP Lifestyle Guy! Season 2 The Lifestyle Show and Website for Lifestylers

Style RPA Media treats us for a merienda cena to the press launch of Philip Lifestyle Guy's Season 2 yesterday, February 8, 2014, at Chef Laudico Guevarra's Restaurant, San Juan.

A great place, warm and super homey ambiance welcomes us with large variety of dishes to choose.

With Chef Roland and Chef Jackie Laudico, Philip did some shoots for his Philip Lifestyle Guy Season 2 episodes.

There were also fun games for the media and bloggers.

Philip Abadicio, a PR practitioner and the host of PHILIP Lifestyle Guy airs on TV5 every Sunday.

This Lifestyle Guy, shared us how he mastered the lifestyle industry. Over 20 years ago, Philip was invited to write for the lifestyle section of the Manila Times. He had no journalism background but he always wanted to know what was the latest, the newest restaurants and food finds, the upcoming designer and the best new work of the artists, the interior decorators and the culturati, and he wanted to know how the glitterati lived.

It was the end of the excessive discos of the 80s and the start of the all-night clubbing 90s.

For years, Philip Abadicio has been writing about the newest, the most delicious, the best dressed, the ultimately exclusive, and the lives of the rich and raunchy. He was also a PR practitioner and established RPA & Communicate where he mastered the ropes of the lifestyle industry. The experience gave him the chance to hobnob with some of the country’s celebrities in society, showbiz, business, politics and media.

It molded Philip into the Lifestyle Guy. His renewed contract for a 2nd Season with TV5 has given him an assurance of his status as the only TV show and host that paves the way for lifestyle to be more interesting and within reach of all Filipinos. Philip Lifestyle Guy airs Sundays, 11 a.m. to 12 noon on TV5.

“In the past, lifestyle was mostly for the affluent, the highly educated, and because of this perception, it catered to a very limited audience. I want Philip Lifestyle Guy to be relevant and enjoyed not only by people of wealth and influence but by all our Kapatid here and abroad,” explains Philip Abadicio with so much passion. The lifestyle show will make the audience experience the delicious food, the wonderful places, the latest gadgets, the latest fashion, the beauty fixes, the spa treatments, and all other aspects of lifestyle.

Philip fondly calls his viewers and readers ‘lifestylers.’ “It’s a term of endearment for all those who watch the show, consult me about their lifestyle concerns, have joined our contests on-air and of course, online,” he shares. Philipabadicio.com brings the art and style of living with more in-depth information on some of the feature stories of the show, Philip Lifestyle Guy. The show and more recently, the website, have become an eye-opener on how life can be lived in style and with loads of fun. Philipabadicio.com is the Lifestyle Guy’s Site for Lifestylers!

“We hope to provide a lifestyle show where we all learn and be more conscious of the beautiful, inspiring and delicious things around us. It’s a show that I’m hoping will educate, entertain and inspire all of us,” he explains. Philip Lifestyle Guy will be visually appealing, culturally enriching, and gastronomically appetizing with the different segments in every episode.

Lifestyle is made move available by Philip Lifestyle Guy and philipabadicio.com. There are on-air and online contests where the audience and readers can easily participate and win various lifestyle experiences. You can also find out about the contests, winners and other announcements on their social media accounts: ‘like’ Philip K. Abadicio on Facebook and ‘follow’ @philipabadicio on Twitter and Instagram.

The Philippines says Thank You!

The Philippines says “Thank You” to the world!

Here's from the Department of Tourism:

On February 8, 2014, at 4:40 a.m., Manila time, exactly three months after Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, the country launched a global campaign expressing its gratitude to the world, having received an outpouring of support following the devastating effects of the typhoon.

and here : http://youtu.be/WYRj5wRURuE

Triggered by an overwhelming sense of appreciation, which has been strongly expressed in social media—for example, #PHthankyou, this groundswell of gratitude is captured in a Thank You campaign created by Filipinos from all over the world. Depicting different ways of expressing their heartfelt appreciation, various messages and images in social media showed the world that foreign support and encouragement has made, and continues to make, all the difference in the country’s ongoing rehabilitation and rebuilding efforts.

Hoping to ensure gratitude is received by everyone, the Philippine Department of Tourism has crafted a thank you message displayed through print ads and billboards in iconic places across the world, specifically:

- Times Square, New York, U.S.

- Piccadilly Circus, London, U.K.

- Potsdamer Platz cor. Leipziger Platz, Berlin, Germany

- Lafayette Mogador, Paris, France

- Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo, Japan

- ION Orchard, Singapore

- Yonge-Dundas Square, Toronto, Canada

- Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia

- Paiknam Building, Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea

All the people across the globe who have expressed sympathies and who have extended support, financial or otherwise, are invited to witness this message of appreciation from the Philippines and help share the country’s profound gratitude to the rest of the world. Using the hashtag #PHthankyou, people around the world can continue to share their support and appreciation.
