Drew Arellano, Maine Mendoza and Nico Bolzico are the newest  Pilipinas Shell's ambassadors 

The ambassadors are not just the faces of the Shell brands but are living proof of the company’s commitment to their customers, as they relate their personal experience in using Shell's products and services through the years.

Maine Mendoza

One of the most influential celebrities in the country today, Maine Mendoza, is the new brand ambassador for Shell FuelSave. Launched with a new formulation last year, Shell FuelSave has DYNAFLEX Technology designed to help improve engine efficiency.

Shell has always been embedded in Mendoza’s life even before rising to fame, as their family owns a number of Shell retail station dealerships. 

“My parents wanted to invest in a company that is recognized for credibility and quality,” she shared. “So when the opportunity came, they didn’t have to think twice about partnering with Shell.”

Now that she drives around the city a lot, she only has one go-to fuel. “I’ve always been practical, and I always go for the smart option. I recommend Shell FuelSave because it’s so fuel efficient that I can navigate traffic with no worries,” she added.

Drew Arellano

Shell's second ambassador is prominent actor and travel show host Drew Arellano. His fuel of choice is Shell V-Power, Shell's best-ever premium gasoline with boosted DYNAFLEX Technology designed to deliver both performance and efficiency.

Biyahero for life, Drew is a member of the popular BrapPack, a group of driven, outdoorsy men who bond over long motorbike rides in and out of the city while promoting road safety.

“I definitely need reliable performance on the road and that's why I use Shell V-Power," said Drew. "Since I started using it, I've never had problems--whether I’m going on long bike rides with my buddies or just simply cruising around with my family in our SUV,” Drew added.

While Shell offers world-class, high-quality fuels to help their customers make the most of their drive, the company is also committed to supporting several advocacy programs, such as road safety and environment sustainability.

Nico Bolzico

Aligned with the same goals, Nico Bolzico is proud to be a Shell ambassador. “I am so happy to learn that my most trusted fuel brand is also supporting various advocacies that aim to make the future greener” noted Nico.

He also pointed out how he was impressed with Shell's various partnerships with Plastic Bank and its role in the Global Road Safety Partnership Philippines (PGRSP).

Nico also recalled how his father recommended Shell to him when he was just starting out driving in Argentina. “Shell Fuels has always given me worry-free journeys. I would never compromise on quality, and Shell is truly world-class.”

“Shell has always been dedicated to ensuring that we have the best-fitting fuels range for motorists,” declared Mark Malabanan, Shell V-Power Brand Manager.

 "We are happy to have Maine, Drew, and Nico as our newest ambassadors because they are living testaments to what our brand stands for and the value we can give to our customers.”

On its 105 years of partnering with the Philippines in nation-building, Shell continues to power progress through more and cleaner energy solutions that focus on delivering quality products while advocating safety and social responsibility.

ET Gets Positive Feedback From Pasay Residents and Netizens

Tweet

The color blue will soon become prominent in every nook and cranny of Pasay City with Tropang Togonon, led by former Manila City Chief Prosecutor Edward Togonon, receiving positive feedback from residents and Pasay netizens.

Favorable comments, posted on Facebook and Twitter accounts, outnumbered those from small group of people who, obviously, were against Togonon’s bid for mayoralty seat. This is the first time that a new name in Pasay politics emerged despite the presence of traditional politicians. 

Togonon’s strong desire to help Pasay residents turned out to be his greatest motivator in facing up against familiar names in the city’s political ruling system. With majority of Pasayenos in full support of his candidacy, Togonon is all the more inspired to do public service.

Togonon and his team tirelessly go around Pasay and visit every barangay to share with the residents their objective in seeking public office. Every townhall meeting held in different barangays never failed to gain positive response from the people who took the time to troop to the venue in order for them to know more about Tropang Togonon’s feasible plans for the city.

After a townhall meeting held at Brgy. 201 in Kalayaan, Pasay, Vilma Baniqued took to E.T. 2019 Facebook page her wish by saying, “Sana po mga taga Pasay, iboto natin siya nang magkaroon ng tamang pamumuno ang Pasay.”

Elsa Bejar Giray, on the other hand, wrote, “Togonon tayo for a change. God bless us all. Go, go, go panalo tayo!”

Meanwhile, under Chairman Daniel Twitter account, one comment read, “Salamat chief, magbabago na ang Pasay #Tropang Togonon.”

Residents of Brgy. 183 in Villamor, Pasay also showed their strong support to Team Togonon. Francois Fernandez wrote the comment, “Ang daming tao…go for the win Kuya Edward.”

Vidal Doble firmly expressed his support by telling, “Mga taga Villamor, Togonon na tayo…kung gusto n’yo na mas maunlad na buhay.”

In Brgy. 125 headed by chairman Malen Reblando, Team Togonon’s townhall meeting was also a success. It gained favorable response from residents with Felisa Polonan commenting on E.T. Facebook page: “Sa lahat ng meeting, laging puno ng tao dahil gusto nilang marinig ang programa nila…halinapo kayo at suportahan natin ang tropang Togonon.”

Having witnessed the jam-packed crowd, Carmen Adolfo commented, “Pangitain na yan, ang daming tao.”

The townhall meeting is also an opportunity for Pasayenos to bring to the attention of Team Togonon their concerns, issues and aspirations for Pasay. Togonon is aware that the people want change and he is ready to give them a better public service.

Maritess Ningge of Brgy. 156 commented after the 14th townhall meeting, “Tropang Togonon. Dito na tayo sa mga kandidatong lahat galing sa hirap at may puso para din sa mahihirap.”

In Brgy. 135, Mike Panilagao said, “Makuha n’yo po sana ang tagumpay.”

With a heart of gold, Tropang Togonon was first to attend to victims of fire in Brgy. 178, Zone 19, Maricaban, Pasay. Twenty-nine families had lost their homes and Togonon, together with other concerned Pasayenos, wasted no time in providing food by feeding sopas to the young and old members of affected families.

BA RU Bal wrote on E.T. 2019 Facebook page: “Salamat sa punta sa lugar namen.”

Grateful Lyza Alexandra Armas, on the other hand, commented, “Yan ang serbisyong totoo.”

Comments of Pasay residents serve as a clear sign that Togonon is a hard opponent to beat.

All set for political comeback for Team Pilipinas (Gilas) and NLEX Road Warriors Coach Yeng Guiao

Tweet

Popularly known as “Coach Yeng”, the former Pampanga Vice-Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao is all set for a political comeback and will brace for his campaign in 2019 despite his double-duty as Team Pilipinas and NLEX coach.

Having served as a board member and three-term vice-governor of Pampanga and held the same congressional seat in 2013, this year, Coach Yeng wants to retake his former congressional seat in Pampanga’s first district.

In an exclusive interview with bloggers , Guiao said that he is running under the Kapanalig at Kambilan Ning Memalen Pampanga (Kambilan) party to retake his former congressional seat in Pampanga’s first district.

Sports person, Coach Yeng is no stranger to politics but the works he has and always been doing is full with advocacies. His legislative platform has been and will be centered on healthcare, education and other basic social services. Guiao also bared plans to strengthen more programs for senior citizens.

Coach Yeng added, stressing that the district, now more than ever, needs more basic services. “We are looking at more health care security for the people of the district as well as more access to education.” 

Coach Yeng's love for sports will also be reflected in his programs as he will push for youth development under sports. 

“As a politician you have to be aware of the everyday needs of your constituents: mga tulong sa ospital, mga namamatayan, mga naggagamot, nag da dialysis. Of course we are also putting emphasis on that. Some of our major advocacies are education and health and the protection of the environment.” says Coach Yeng Guiao.

“I have been a coach for 2 and a half years, in different teams, 7 championships in the PBA and also made the world cup with Gilas Pilipinas. We are preparing for the World Cup in China, where the best of the best will meet. These are good teams but we hope to pull some upsets. There are 4 teams in a group and if we win two games, we are going high in the rankings. Angola is the African champ, Italy and Serbia is world ranked. This time I have a different challenge, to represent the 1st District of Pampanga. I have ran for 3 terms as a Vice Governor of Pampanga, so I have both basketball and politics all my life. This is a challenge, in any way or form, I have an advocacy to have continuous improvement of the Clark Airport which is in my district. We now have more tourists, bills and resolutions have been passed. We now have a new terminal, there are other items like the North Rail too, hopefully work it out so we can run from Tutuban to there and be finished in two years. Clark is also the sports capital of the country, in hosting the SEA Games, this will be true. We have been pushing for this ever since. Hopefully this will benefit much of my constituents, together with the usual things they need for education, health, and life. Clark is progressing because all the places around it us benefiting from it now. We are also doing a lot in improving the educational system, and the health advocacy. The new law applied for universal health care is one example, we support that fully and hopefully we find ways to improve that.”

“Since I am in Basketball I am focused on it but I am a sports fan and enthusiast, to improve the other sports in general is part of that. We need to make every sport especially the ones we excel at be done and officiated better. We want to promote sports with weight categories because we have a lot of talent. I am one of the main authors of giving bigger rewards for sports winners. It is what is being used today. Funding is of course a problem, other countries are spending more but my take is that to concretely make this better, we filed to do an existing law to get 5% of gross to go to sports. Right now, 2.5% is sent to law, while the other half goes to the office of the President and nobody challenged it but I did. I am still waiting for the decision, that is 13-15 Billion pesos and it would be a big help in the yearly income of sports for that. In order to answer to solve it, we need to have that reinstated.”

“Clark has 120,000 employees, improvement of educational system and making them a part of that plus run for more investments in the district will make it a whole lot better. Living a healthy and active lifestyle is the best thing to have rather than us waiting to get sick. I will support legislations to improve the environment. If I win the district, I will still be coaching, I don’t believe we have to stop as long as we can do both. Being disciplined in the management of your time, in basketball and legislation, I have already done that in the last few years and we didn’t have a problem in commitments because I have done both. Politics and Sports have similarities, you cannot go to a game or office unprepared. There are also intrigues, but you have to be emotionally stable, you will see bashers, the pressure is great and you can lose your job. You are only as good as your last term or game, it is part of our job and we have to accept that. It is a competition, you are joining the PBA for results, same with your district, coaching for 30 years, I have seen how it happens and I can focus on service for constituents. It is both stressful, one is for 48 minutes, the other for 3 years. I constituents asking for help 24/7 and you get used to it, to handle it. I am under a local party.”

Coach Yeng is supported by team members at Team Pilipinas (Gilas) and Team NLEX Road Warriors.

Asi Taulava says “In international competitions, our team, it’s a different game. Our coach as a congressman can boost that. We are all rooting for him.”

Kieffer Ravena says “The short time I have been with them, he is very genuine. He says it when you need to improve on, every opportunity he gets to help in the youth of Pampanga. In my scenario, it would have been easy to let me go but they supported me, it helps to have leaders who gives you confidence to do your own thing. A lot of players know and want to play for him, to become the best person possible, he does it a lot. He makes students be in their best position, I am open to help in his campaign. I believe in what he is fighting for, not because he is my coach, but his sincerity, if he gets elected Pampanga will be benefiting from it.”
