Experience Dunkin' upgraded 360 design and enjoy great tasting coffee and donuts

I am now in love with Dunkin modern interior design- with wooden furniture, contemporary lighting finished  with its signature orange and magenta design. I love that they always have a nice, comfy little corner to finish your coffee and donut, read a book, and just chill while waiting for someone. You should check out  Dunkin in Mindanao Avenue or just recently the one in Aurora, also in QC.  

Dunkin Ambassadors Piolo Pascual, Derek Ramsay together with Dingdong Dantes graces the newly renovated Dunkin’ Aurora, Quezon City branch.  With its upgraded 360 design, its ready to put you in a wonderful mood. 

Go ahead and experience its upgraded 360 design and enjoy great tasting coffee and donuts. 

As soon as you arrive at the store, you’ll see the first upgrade-the new Dunkin’ logo following the global rebranding. After being in operation for years, it seems like the time is right for patrons to call their beloved brand by its nickname. 

Once you enter the outlet, its 360-design comes to life holistically-meaning anywhere you look in the store is upgraded. All elements are also aligned with the Dunkin’ Proud design strategy, encouraging both Dunkin’ patrons and discoverers to experience and celebrate the brand that has been serving them in the Philippines for almost 40 years. 

For one, the outlet banners its signature orange and magenta, brought to life by artworks, one of which even bears local elements such as a tarsier, a jeepney, a pawikan and the Mayan Volcano. 

It’s clear that the comfort and convenience of customers were considered in the redesign. There is a community table that encourages sharing and interaction. This table also has provision for power supply, to make it more convenient for students and businessmen who frequent the outlet. 

For senior citizens and PWD customers who love their Dunkin’ coffee, couches were placed on the sides to give them their own space to relax. For those who just want to grab and go, a dedicated take-out counter is now available. 

The warm white lights, plus cozy café-style tables and chairs make it even more enjoyable to have your favorite world-famous Dunkin’ coffee and donuts. The only thing you’ll stress about is whether you'll get a Butternut or Choco Butternut donut-to which the easy solution is to have both. 

Spreading the spirit of optimism is always the goal of any Dunkin‘ store and it doesn’t stop there. To make it a year of good vibes, here's an offer for the first month that will fill you with happiness: the Dunkin' Sari-Sari Bucket. 

Get one bucket filled with 10 Choco Bang, 16 Premium Munchkins, 
and 12 Dunkin’ Van for only P299. 

This offer is available in all Dunkin' outlets until January 31, 2020. The newly redesigned Dunkin’ outlet is located in 733 Aurora Boulevard Corner Balete Drive, New Manila, Quezon City

Brillante Mendoza’s AMO premieres on August 20, 9:30PM at TV5

TV 5 launches AMO directed by Brilliante Mendoza on July 25 at SEDA Hotel. The event was attended by Director Brilliante Mendoza and his cast headed by Derek Ramsay, Vince Rillon, Allen Dizon, Felix Roco, Apollo Abraham, Archie Adamos, and Mara Lopez.

Leading the cast of this cinematic television creation is Vince Rillon who plays the role of Joseph the young drug peddler and one of the country' s leading actors Derek Ramsay who plays the role of a good cop. Joining the cast as well are Allen Dizon, Felix Roco, Apollo Abraham, Archie Adamos, Mara Lopez with the special participation of Baron Geisler.

“Totoong totoo,” was how Derek Ramsay described his upcoming project  AMO, an action-packed TV series helmed by one of visionary director Brillante Mendoza.

During one taping, Derek recalled, they were just instructed by Direk Brillante to just run through a street as they chase someone, and was told not to stop until he shouts “CUT.”

Derek said he’s never ran as fast trying to catch up with the real policemen with him, unsure of what he was going to encounter as the people living in the area had no idea that they were just shooting a scene.

“For them it was real, they thought we were real policemen and that it might be a legit police operation that made the scene look real.”

It was only after the shot, that the real policemen told Derek how they admired his bravery as they never went inside fearing the “snipers” waiting for them in the area.

This 12-episode miniseries is set against the background of the country’s War on Drugs and depicts situations including the rampant vigilantism against suspected illegal drug personalities. It features the story of Joseph, a high school student peddling crystal meth or ”shabu” initially to his fellow gang members and later on to a much bigger market in Metro Manila. Amo also shows the controversies revolving around the Philippine National Police in the government’s campaign against drugs as well as its role in rightfully enforcing it.

Derek describes the series a bit similar to Netflix’ “NARCOS.”

AMO is yet another dauntless television masterpiece by Brillante Mendoza which reflects TV5’s strong commitment to provides quality differentiated entertainment content.


Brillante Mendoza’s AMO premieres on August 20, 9:30PM every Sunday on TV5.

From gay role to action, the versatile award winning actor Dennis Trillo portrays  Cinemalaya's "The Janitor" he plays an ex-cop who hunts down the suspects involved in the most heinous bank robbery in the country’s history. He confessed that he and Direk Mike Tuviera actually met real-life vigilantes to justify his role, there was a character study, he picked some information along the interview so that he could give justice to "Crisanto" the vigilante he was playing. He added that "nung umpisa kinabahan po ako at natakot pero habang iniinterview namen sila, normal lang na tao sila na ganun ang hanapbuhay".

THE JANITOR, a Cinemalaya 2014 entry under the Directors’ Showcase Category, is written by Aloy Adlawan and directed by Michael Tuviera.

On May 16, 2008, the whole country was shocked upon learning the news about the massacre of the bank employees of the RCBC Cabuyao branch, what was eventually called “the Philippine's bloodiest bank robbery.” The perpetrators behind the incident were able to escape with an estimated P9 to P15 million in cash, and killed ten bank employees in the process. All were methodically shot in the head. The film 'The Janitor' is inspired by this very story. It follows Crisanto Espina, an ex-cop, as he carries out his orders to pursue the criminals involved in the robbery/massacre. But as he obediently hunts down each suspect while dealing with his own personal demons, he begins to realize that he is being consumed by the whole circus of the investigation and begins to question the brand of justice he once revered.

 On July 21 2011, the bloodiest bank heist in the country's history occurred at Mabuhay Savings Bank in San Pedro, Laguna, leaving ten employees dead, all ruthlessly executed. The perpetrators escape with an estimated P10 million in cash. The robbery is suspected to have been conducted by professionals, as they executed their plan with military precision. Wearing Moriones masks to conceal their identities, the thieves disabled the bank's security system and held-up the bank personnel inside while waiting for the vault's time lock to deactivate just before the usual opening time. Once they got the cash, a fatal mistake leads to an all-out bloodbath. Pressured by the people and media to resolve the crime, the authorities secretly order Crisanto Espina, an ex-cop, to handle the case. Eager to redeem his name and earn back the respect of his family, Crisanto diligently hunts down each suspect involved in the massacre. But as he finds each name on his list, he unravels the dirty truth behind his extrajudicial duties.
