My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore Press Con

     I presume you've seen the teaser trailer of the much-awaited movie of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza- “My Bebe Love: Kilig Pa More!" while watching Eat Bulaga. The most sought after loveteam of the year is now taking their kilig moments a higher notch, this time in a movie together with two of the country's box office hit makers- the king and the queen of comedy, Vic Sotto and Ai Ai Delas Alas.

     I was invited to the press con of “My Bebe Love: Kilig Pa More!” last December 2 at Annabel's Restaurant in Quezon City. I wasn't able to attend the event but based on the photos of the press con and what my co-bloggers told me, the afternoon was filled of excitement, laughter, and kilig moments as Alden Richards, Ai-Ai Delas Alas, and Vic Sotto shared their experiences while taping the movie. More details about the movie and the synopsis below. 

My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore Press Con

     What happens when the country’s comedy giants - the undisputed Philippine box-office king of comedy Vic Sotto and box-office queen Ai-Ai delas Alas, join forces with the newest record-breaking, phenomenal loveteam Aldub in one groundbreaking movie during the holiday season?

     No doubt, “My Bebe Love: Kilig Pa More!,” starring Vic Sotto, Ai-Ai Delas Alas and the phenomenal loveteam Aldub of Alden Richards and Maine “Yayadub” Mendoza, is going to make a killing at the box-office and set higher heights in the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) History.

My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore Press Con

     Expect waves of high-spirited excitement, heartwarming romance, wholesome fun, and excellent Filipino values, to take the holiday season’s finest film festival by storm. Vic and Ai-Ai spearhead the fun topsy-turvy of characters as they are featured side by side Alden and Maine in the movie written by Jose Javier Reyes and Bibeth Orteza and directed by Jose Javier Reyes.

     This early, festival observers are already predicting a surefire box-office reign for “My Bebe Love: Kilig Pa More!” which is jointly-offered by OctoArts Films, M-Zet Television Productions, Inc., APT Entertainment, GMA Films and Meda Production. While the country is being swept away by the record-breaking loveteam of Alden Richards and Maine “Yayadub” Mendoza, MMFF is poised to be another territory for conquest by the Aldub phenomenon. This is the duo’s most exciting film debut.

     “My Bebe Love: Kilig Pa More!” also features Joey de Leon, the “Eat Bulaga” lolas Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, and Wally Bayola, and Ryzza Mae Dizon, in special appearances.

     Vic Sotto plays the role of Vito who finds himself at odds and in a bitter professional rivalry with Cora, played by Ai-Ai. The two are both in the business of mounting special events and productions and have both made a successful name in the same profession. The conflict happens when their respective wards – Anna (played by Maine) daughter of Vito, gets romantically entangled with Cora’s beloved nephew Dondi (played by Alden). As expected, the “parents” actively reject the budding romantic involvement between the star-crossed lovers and willingly struck an unexpected truce to prevent this romance from happening.

     The plot thickens when the unexpected alliance of the Vito and Cora starts blooming into something else. Now, it’s the turn of the youngsters to feel disconcerted with the idea of having their folks enter into a different relationship zone. Now it was the turn of Dondi and Anna to react to the situation. They did not like the idea of his auntie and her father falling in love with each other. Now it was the younger generation vehemently reacting to this new romance.

     So where will all this end? What are the possible solutions and resolutions to bring closure and new beginnings to these young, exciting lovers? Catch the excitement, the love, the fun and romance when “My Bebe Love: Kilig Pa More!” starts showing on Christmas Day at the MMFF.

     I'm sure that Aldub nation is excited to watch Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza on the big screen this Christmas so be sure to go early at cinemas to get your tickets. I have a feeling that cinemas will be jampacked on the first day of showing as I've seen how aldub fans go on full support for their idols. Congratulations in advance to Vic Sotto, Ai-Ai Delas Alas, Direk Joey Reyes, and the casts of My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore!

Will My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore set a new record in MMFF? Share your thoughts below :)

Jollibee's 21st Maaga ang Pasko Toy and Book Drive

     I'm proud to say that Kenzo loves sharing his old toys with the less fortunate children. Whenever we go out and see them in the streets, he always tell me that he will keep his old toys and give it to them next time we go back to the place where we saw them. Aside from this, Kenzo also donated some of his stuff toys last Christmas in Jollibee's Maaga ang Pasko toy and book drive. I presume you've seen a big box containing toys and books inside the Jollibee stores. This is their way of giving back to the less fortunate children. 

     Making every Christmas brighter and more joyful for over two decades, Jollibee celebrated the launch of Maaga ang Pasko, now on its 21st year. This 2015, the country’s longest-running annual toy and book drive is continuing its mission to inspire more kindhearted Filipinos to donate gifts and spread the early Christmas cheer to less fortunate kids.

Jolly Toy Scout volunteers pitched in to make the toys and books clean and good as new in the ‪#‎MaagaAngPasko‬ clean-up drive! You too can help make kids happy this Christmas, just drop your toy and book donations in any Jollibee store nationwide.

     Spearheading the donation drive as lead Jolly Toy Scouts are child actor Marco Masa, The Voice Kids Philippines Season 1 grand winner Lyca Gairanod and finalist Darlene Vibares, and Goin’ Bulilit kids Angelo Alayon, JM Gacayan, and Belle Mariano. The new batch of Jolly Toy Scouts hope to inspire other kids like them to share their pre-loved toys and books to make other kids happy.

     During the various campaign launches held nationwide, these kids led by example by donating their own toys and books. Eleven-year-old Darlene gave away a coloring storybook that her beloved grandfather gave to her. “I learned how to read through this book,” she said. “I hope whoever receives it enjoys the stories as much as I did.” Like Darlene, JM also donated a gift for budding bookworms. “My wish is that like me, another child gets to benefit from reading this book.” 

     A teddy bear that is dear to her heart was 10-year-old Lyca’s contribution. “It’s important to me because it was given by a fan. I always have this doll beside me when I sleep at night because it’s one of my favorites,” the young singing champion said.

What’s more, the stars pledged to help make the holiday season more meaningful, leading the JKC members in putting their names in the commitment wall to help inspire other kids and kids-at-heart to follow suit. 

     “For us Filipinos, Christmas is not only a time to celebrate, but also a time to share and be a blessing to our fellowmen,” said Jollibee Global Brand Chief Marketing Officer and Jollibee Philippines Marketing head Francis Flores. “We are always thankful for the incredible support that Maaga ang Pasko receives from Filipinos for the past two decades. This year, we are counting on our Jolly Toy Scouts to once again help us spread Christmas joy to more kids in need.”

BAYO Style Harvest 2015: A Holiday Heritage Collection Launch

     The most wonderful time of the year started early as BAYO recently launched their 2015 holiday collection entitled- BAYO Style Harvest 2015. The event was held at BAYO Glorietta 2 branch last November 17 which showcased the parol (a star-shaped lantern from the Philippines) inspired designs for the holiday collection. 

     I presume that some of you already know BAYO and have worn a piece or two from this homegrown brand. BAYO is proudly Filipino. When I was in high school I thought BAYO is an international brand because their clothes have high quality materials and the designs are unique, better from what I see from other brands. Fast forward today, BAYO still produces designs that matches the lifestyle of every Filipina. See the designs from the 2015 holiday collection and highlights of the event below.

      Style Harvest: A Holiday Heritage showcases the Filipino Christmas tradition by incorporating the designs with the beautiful colors and festive aesthetic of the parol, considered the symbol of the Filipino Christmas spirit. To make the launch more festive, the Verlanie Foundation Philippines Children's Choir sang Christmas carols that filled the air with Christmas spirit.

    During the launch, BAYO also introduced their newest ambassador- Ms. Iza Calzado who confessed to be one of the Filipinas who liked the brand so much when she was still young. She shared her stories about BAYO and to be one of the brand's endorser is a dream come true. I was amazed that Iza Calzado remained down-to-earth despite all her achievements in movie and film industry. She answered all the questions with confidence that day and gave us an idea of what designs from the BAYO collection exudes her personality.

“I’m happy to work with Bayo,” says Calzado. “They’re a company that knows where they come from, and they put a lot of effort in showing that through their products. I’ve always been in full support of local brands, and with Bayo’s efforts to uplift the different Filipino traditions, I am more than happy to have partnered with them.”

     As for the parol-inspired designs, I like what Iza was wearing during the event. Look at the photo above. Her dress looks so elegant with the parol design. I'm diggin' this dress because the style is perfect to wear in family reunions and Christmas parties. Here's a glimpse of the collection. You will see blouses, skirts, and dresses with colorful parol prints either on the top, at the bottom or center of the clothes.

     The designs are classy and feminine but you can wear it either casual, semi-formal, or business attire under a blazer. I'm not a fashion guru but seeing the styles from this collection makes me wanna make my own Christmas party outfit guide. A little mix and matching will do and for sure you'll the the star of your Christmas parties.

BAYO Style Harvest 2015: A Holiday Heritage Collection Launch

   Bayo had partnered with the artisans of San Fernando, Pampanga to provide beautifully crafted parols in all of its stores nationwide. These colorful Christmas lanterns would adorn the windows of each Bayo store throughout the season.

BAYO Style Harvest 2015: A Holiday Heritage Collection Launch

     So drop by at the nearest BAYO branch and be delighted with the colorful parols on display. I highly recommend the designs from this collection, you can wear the pieces not only during holiday season as I see most styles flexible which can be mixed and matched with basic pieces from your wardrobe. 

     Thank you so much BAYO for having me and for the Filipino delicacies that you've served that day. The 'kakanin' brought Christmas closer and this collection is an inspiration to the parol makers of Pampanga. Congratulations on a very successful launch and more of this heritage collection in the coming years!
