Watch out for the Merriest Wedding of the Year this Christmas day: Mary, Marry Me



Looking for a great comedy to watch this coming Metro Manila Film Festival?  If you want to be entertained and need a good old laugh this Christmas.  Then, this movie is for you and is sure to tickle your funny bones from beginning to end.

Watch out for Mary, Marry Me under TEN17P's and TINCAN production starring Ms. Toni Gonzaga and sibling Comedienne Alex Gonzaga.

They are joined by Bayani Agbayani, Melai and leading man Sam Milby in the movie. Under the direction of RC Delos Reyes. 

"Mary , Marry Me" cast headed by Ms. Toni Gonzaga just held a mini presscon today at TEN17P La Fuerza, Makati together with sibling Alex Gonzaga and Director RC Delos Reyes.





You are cordially invited to the Merriest Wedding of the Year this Christmas day!
Family and sisterhood are taking front and center this Metro Manila Film Festival as TEN17P presents a TINCAN production bringing Toni and Alex Gonzaga together in their first ever movie this December 25.




Helmed by RC delos Reyes, The Royal Celebrity Siblings are finally making their longtime dream a reality with “Mary, Marry, Me.” After only being seen together in guestings, endorsements and on TV projects in the past, Toni and Alex are debuting in the big screen with a project that redefines “family movie”—in that it is made by a family for the Filipino family.



“I remember when we were kids we would always look forward sa MMFF and pipila kami sa isa sa mga movies na gusto naming mapanood. Then fast forward to 20 years later, kasama na kaming dalawa na isa sa papanoorin ngayong pasko,” said Toni.

Toni’s returning into the big screen more than a year since her dark-romance film “Last Night” while Alex is coming from her successful independent film “Nakalimutan Ko Nang Kalimutan Ka” .



“Mary, Marry, Me” is the story of Mary Jane (Toni) and her estranged younger sister Mary Anne (Alex) who is set to marry the former’s ex-boyfriend Pete (Sam Milby). Despite the initial hesitation, Mary Jane’s commitment to make up to her sister has enabled her to set aside her uneasiness with her ex-boyfriend as she agreed to plan their wedding.

Sharing the camera for the silver screen have both been easy and difficult for the Sissums. For one they were able to draw strength from each other and their own tight-knit relationship. Yet at the same time, they’ve also stepped on each other’s toes quite a few times on the set since they know each other too well.



“Masaya makatrabaho ang Ate ko kasi una sa lahat feeling mo safe ka, feeling mo at home ka at wala ka sa work kasi nandoon ang Ate mo. Yet at the same time mahirap rin siya kasi masyadong perfectionist ang Ate ko and masyado rin niyang chinecheck at ino-observe lahat ng galaw ko so parang meron akong nanay sa set,” Alex described the experience of working with her Ate. 

But, on another end, Alex noted that her sister played a huge part in bringing out her emotions.

“Kasi we’re never really sweet, we don’t really talk about our emotions for one another, so nung nandoon na sa part ng pelikula na kailangan ng dramahan or confrontation parang mas mabilis akong nakakapit kasi nga Ate ko siya,” Alex said. “Tapos minsan kapag hindi na kami makaiyak, iniiba naming ang mga lines para ma-relate sa amin at maging true to life.”


Although they have always wanted to work with each other in the big screen, the stars never really aligned for them in the past. In fact, Toni pitched “Mary, Marry, Me’s” concept some three years ago.

“I have so many concepts in mind and I think we waited for the right time na magkatrabaho kami. Lagi kasing dapat magkakatrabaho kami sa TV until finally, I think this is the right time for us to do a movie together kasi we’re both professionals na to handle our relationship on the set,” said Toni.

Making the film extra special are three huge happenings that fans have long been clamoring for. First there’s the reunion of the blockbuster Sam-Tin tandem after 10 years. Sam and Toni have brought kilig to their legions of fans through the films “You Are the One” (2006), “You Got Me” (2007) and “My Big Love” (2008).

“Working with Sam is like going back home also, back to where I started because my first full on rom-com was with Sam under Direk Cathy. So parang I feel more comfortable with him now than our previous films because we’ve matured so much as individuals,” said Toni.

Second there’s the gathering of comedy stars as the lead stars would be joined by reliable comedians in the person of Bayani Agbayani, Moi Bien and Melai Cantiveros. And finally, there’s the fresh rom-com combination not just by a tandem but by Alex, Toni and Sam.

With the MMFF season drawing to a near, Toni and Alex are excited to share their family rom-com “Mary, Marry, Me” to the Kapamilyas all over the country.
“Gusto ko pagkatapos nilang panoorin ang ang film eh mas mahalin nila ang mga kapatid nila. Or kung wala ka mang kapatid na mamahalin mo yung mga tao na kasama mo mula sa bata na hindi ka binitawan o pinabayan o hindi nawala sa piling mo. Na mahalaga ang mga taong minahal ko mula noon,” said Toni.

Produced by TINCANp under Ten17p “Mary, Marry, Me” by Direk RC delos Reyes stars Toni Gonzaga, Alex Gonzaga and Sam Milby. Joining the stellar cast are Bayani Agbayani, Moi Bien and Melai Cantiveros.

“Mary, Marry, Me” is an official 2018 Metro Manila Film Festival entry, which will be showing in cinemas nationwide starting December 25.

Don’t forget to follow the film’s official social media accounts to stay updated @marymarrymethemovie on Facebook and Instagram and @marrymethemovie on Twitter. Apart from beinging entertainment, this year’s MMFF is centered on the concept of #SineIsLife.

Look what I had for breakfast? Its the new Red Ribbon Ube Ensaimada!

Red Ribbon recently came up with another ensaimada goodness called Ube Ensaimada. It has the ube filling with the right sweetness in every bite.



For most Filipinos, the highlight of every afternoon is undoubtedly merienda. A quick mid-afternoon snack gives a much-needed boost against the usual midday slump.

One of the favorite merienda snacks is the ensaimada – sweet buns coated with butter and sprinkled with sugar and grated cheese. Among different variants of this classic treat, the Red Ribbon Cheesy Ensaimada is definitely a favorite enjoyed anywhere, from homes and schools to work places, best paired with beverages like coffee or hot chocolate.





Now, Red Ribbon adds an extra Pinoy flavor to the classic merienda with the new Ube Ensaimada. A fusion of two Filipino favorites, the delightful variant uses the much-loved Ube or purple yam as a wonderful filling to the soft and yummy pastry.

With real Ube Halaya tucked in its golden-brown coil and drizzled around the bun, the Red Ribbon Ube Ensaimada is then topped off with a coating of creamy whipped butter, a generous layer of grated cheese, and a sprinkling of sugar.



Bite into the deliciously cheesy, ube goodness of Red Ribbon Ube Ensaimada. Grab it for only P39 or bring home a 4-piece pack for only P150. Drop by your nearest Red Ribbon Bakeshop today or visit www.facebook.com/redribbonbakeshop/ to check out other great-tasting goodies.

Jessy's Secret to Being Sexy


In 2016,  Jessy Mendiola beat 99 other women to become FHM Sexiest Woman.

Just like a lot of people, I thought it was going to be a highlight of Jessy's career, but as it turned out it just subjected her to a lot of criticisms and even led to her depression

“When I won FHM’s sexiest woman in 2016, I thought… finally, people appreciate my efforts and my body. But I was wrong,” she wrote in an Instagram post on her recent weight loss.

“I was bullied, body shamed with bashers calling me names like ‘pata (thigh), baboy (pig), taba (fat), etc.” She revealed that at the time, she had been working out regularly and “ate what I felt was good for me.”

After all the  negative comments she received on her social media feed, it even made her doubt herself. “I felt really down and started losing my confidence. I loved myself then (big thighs, belly rolls and round face) but when people started pointing out my flaws, I started hating myself, at times even thinking I was a bad person for having ‘thunder thighs,’” she said.

“I stopped working out, I got depressed, binge ate my feelings off and started gaining more weight than I should,” she added. “I didn’t even want to be seen on TV anymore, I started turning down roles and it affected my work.”

Jessy even revealed she received a FAT Memo from her management and required her to lose weight in order to get more projects.

It was a challenge that Jessy gladly accepted.

At the recent launch of her latest endorsement of Amazing Garcinia Cambogia, Jessy's sexiness was evident even if she was wearing pants and a long sleeved top. She then shared her fitness journey and how Amazing Garcinia Cambogia helped her re gain her sexiest figure yet.

To stay in top shape and keep up with the demands of her professional and personal iife, Jessy teams up with IAMWORLWIDE as the newest endorser of their popular weight loss product, Amazing Grape Juice with Garcinia Cambogia.

Jessy achieved amazing results in her health and fitness which pushes her to achieve amazing milestones in her career and life.

Amazing Grape Juice with Garcinia Cambogia is a herbal supplement endorsed by several nutrition experts as “a revolutionary fat buster” and “a breakthrough in natural weight loss.”

Garcinia Cambogia is a small, sour fruit of a tropical tree that is native to Indonesia. Among its benefits are suppression of appetite, conversion of fat to energy and increase of serotonin that help improve one’s mood and avoid stress eating, leading to a more effective weight loss.

Amazing Grape Juice with Garcinia Cambogia is only one of the many products distributed by IAMWORLWIDE. Founded by seasoned network marketing professionals Founder / President Allen Marvin Yu Eder and Founder I Vice President Aika Lorraine Uy, IAMWORLWIDE is a direct sales company that seeks to bring real change in people’s wellbeing through health, prosperity and balance.

Toby’s Sports Opens Flagship Store in BGC



Toby’s Sports, the leading sports retailer in the Philippines, has opened a new, innovative flagship store that highlights its long-standing commitment to elevating its retail experience to world-class standards.



Toby’s Sports held a special preview party of the new flagship store situated in the heart of the bustling Bonifacio Global City (BGC) last Nov. 28. The event, called “Pinnacle of Sports,” gathered celebrities, athletes, sports enthusiasts, and members of the media who had a first look at the new flagship store. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was spearheaded by Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano and Toby’s Sports officials.


Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano leads the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Toby's Sports' flagship store at Bonifacio Global City.


Among those who attended the star-studded launch were Christine Jacob-Sandejas, Miss International Kylie Verzosa, Adidas country manager Adrien Semblat, actors Bubbles Paraiso, Bobby Yan, and Tessa Prieto-Valdes, and athletes from the PBA, UAAP, and NCAA.

The 1,000sqm, two-story space houses a premium assortment of footwear, sports apparel and equipment from the world’s best brands. According to Toby Claudio, President of Toby’s Sports, “we wanted to create an iconic store, a pinnacle shopping experience in the heart of Metro Manila.” To achieve that, the store utilizes cutting-edge technology, such as stunning LED displays towering over 5th avenue and multiple interactive touch screens that uses RFID technology to show information on its latest products. It also features various zones that create an experiential shopping experience:




PLAYZone. The flagship store features an interactive PLAYZone to host events and sports clinics on a regular basis. It also doubles as a basketball court, which utilizes a professional-grade basketball shooting machine, where people can hone their shooting skills. Prizes will be given out regularly to top scorers in the Toby’s Shooout game.

LAUNCHZone. As its names suggests, the LAUNCHZone will host product launches that feature the latest innovations from the top sports brands. Toby’s Sports also plans to use this area for curated installations, special VIP events and athlete appearances.

Toby’s Custom Lab. The Toby’s Custom Lab, located on the 2nd level, offers apparel customization services. With the capability to create full custom uniforms and jerseys, it will include express customization via sublimation, making a more personalized customer experience.

Run Signature Analysis. The flagship store offers Run Signature gait and running form analysis, from Brooks. It is a radical new approach to gait analysis that takes an in-depth look at the body’s natural running characteristics so that the store personnel can offer the ideal shoes to every customer.



Latest Retail Technologies

The Toby’s Flagship is one of the first stores in the country to feature a highly digital experience where customers can browse the retailer’s e-commerce website, tobys.com, on large interactive walls in the store. Toby’s Sports also uses RFID technology that allows customers to unlock virtual content by placing a shoe on their Shoe Showcase platforms and browse all its specs and features via touchscreen.

“We harnessed the latest technology to bring our store experience to the next level.  We wanted to create more than just a store, but a space that tells stories about the latest sports innovations and inspire people to play”, Claudio said.

World-class Interiors

Toby’s Sports commissioned the tandem of world-renowned German architectural firm Blocher + Blocher and Philippine-based Sonia Olivares & Associates (SSOa) to bring to life the retailer’s vision for its first flagship store.

The interior design combines architectural details inspired by Manila’s raw aesthetics with larger-than-life graphics and pops of color that represent the vibrant nature of sports.

The concrete walls and metal fixtures create a modern-urban aesthetic, allowing the products displayed to take center stage. The central staircase, which features a massive lighted wall, serve as the centerpiece of store. Neon lights, inspired by the city’s bright lights, were also used to call
out the different product categories and zones of the store.



Going Omnichannel

Toby’s Sports also saw the flagship store as the perfect opportunity to marry its offline and online initiatives to truly provide an immersive omnichannel experience.  The store offers a Click & Collect service that allows its online consumers to pick-up their orders in the store within hours. Toby’s Sports also plans to fully equip its products with QR codes that will lead customers to a particular product’s page in its online store. Soon, Toby’s Sports will introduce an automated locker area, where online customers can pick-up their orders 24/7, even when the  store is closed, using a generated passcode that will be sent directly to the customer’s mobile phone.
"Although our physical stores have been our bread and butter for the past 40 years, we have seen incredible growth in our online business since we re-launched tobys.com in late 2016. Now, we want to make shopping even more convenient to our customers by offering a seamless online-to-offline shopping experience,” Claudio said.



Embracing Growth in its 40th Year

The opening of the Toby’s Sports flagship store also signals the company’s commitment to further solidifying its place as the sports retailer of choice for Filipinos. Apart from its focus on elevating the experience of its current pool of customers, Toby’s Sports also aims to expand its footprint, opening more stores not just in the Metro, but also in various provinces across the country.
“The new Toby’s Sports flagship store is a statement we wanted to make, that even after 40 years in the business, we are still looking for ways to improve. It has allowed s us to provide new and exciting experiences and best-level products for our customers. My hope is that the flagship can become an epicenter for sports and sneaker culture in the Philippines,” Claudio concluded.
Toby’s Sports now has 55 stores nationwide, with more stores in the pipeline in the coming years.

Be the Santa You Want to Be with These Must-Have Christmas Gifts




Christmas season is that one time of year when we get to treat ourselves and our loved ones to some truly fancy stuff. Nothing rewards a year-long grind better than a luxury gift, after all, but wading in blind to every holiday collection is hardly advisable: better make that splurging spree count.

Worry no more, as this guide lists down some choice premium gift ideas that will help anyone ace their Christmas shopping expedition. Let’s get started!
Invoke Lady Luck with Jewelry

For the lady who deserves everything, there’s no going wrong with a Van Cleef & Arpels set of jewellery. A signature piece (or several) from the French jewellery house’s iconic Alhambra collection will adorn the recipient with precisely-cut four-leaf clover emblems, draping her with the symbol of luck in the most fashionable way possible.



25 Shades of Chic
The Boys and Girls 25 Piece Set is a box of Tom Ford’s lipstick creations, with each beautiful shade named after a male or female celebrity that the American luxury fashion designer admires. From the fierce red hues of Dylan and Jagger to the luminous textures of Gal and Scarlett, every lip color in this set just exudes a signature Hollywood flair.

The Smartest Camera on the Smartest Phone (for pretty much anyone)
There’s only one gift appropriate for a techie loved one, or if you’re just well and truly stumped for ideas – the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Huawei’s latest masterpiece features a staggering combination of unbeatable Leica Triple Camera optics, a super-powerful yet super-efficient Kirin 980 brain, a 4200 mAh workhorse of a battery, and AI capabilities that automate everything from camera experience to app management. A new ultra wide angle-lens at the rear module adds a dramatic advantage to landscape shots while the upgraded Master AI enables lightning quick, real time scene-to-scene adjustments in every shooting situation.

In terms of endurance, the Mate 20 Pro excels at giving and receiving: SuperCharge tech lets the phone top up from low to 70% in 30 minutes, Wireless Quick Charge speeds up the tangle-free charging convenience, and Reverse Wireless Charging essentially converts the Mate 20 Pro into a powerbank capable of juicing up other compatible devices.

Combined with upgrades on EMUI 9.0, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro redefines what a smartphone can do, resulting in an unparalleled and memorable user experience. Throw in that fetching new Emerald color option and you can’t help but get one even just for yourself.

While the saying “It’s the thought that counts” for gift-giving still rings true, a premium gift counts for plenty on the receiver’s end – consider it 365 days’ worth of happiness you’re wrapping up and giving away.

HUAWEI, in celebration of the brand’s successes this year, has a big treat for all of you this festive season! HUAWEI’s Christmas Grand Promotion will help anyone ace their Christmas shopping expedition. Starting November 16 until January 15 2019, HUAWEI is giving away amazing free gifts when you purchase their selected devices!
