Newcomer David Licauco admits to being a hopeless romantic

Admit it, we girls easily  fall for romantic guys. The ones who would cook for us, travel with us, scold us when we're not feeling well, sing for us out of the blue and the ones who would patiently go shopping with us, even if it takes too long for them to wait.

I cant remember anyone right now who fits the bill, except of course, for my partner. But when I had a chance to interview this chinito heartthrob David Licauco at a recent presscon for his first movie by Director Joel Lamangan "Because I Love You". I realized  that there are still romantic men who would do everything for their girl. 

Newcomer David Licauco admits to being a hopeless romantic, saying he prefers watching romantic comedies instead of  movies. 

The last time he watched the movie "Aquaman" he admitted to almost falling asleep, but when he's watching romcoms, he gets so easily immersed in the movie. 

That is why it wasnt surprising when he admited to being a #Kathniel fan. In fact, if given the chance he would love to do a movie with Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo. His latest Kathniel movie that he watched together with his girlfriend now an ex was Crazy Beautiful You. 

When asked about his five romantic movies at the moment he cited in no particular order Dear John, A Lot Like Love, A Walk to Remember, The Notebook and No Strings Attached. 

He said that he is a one-woman man, he doesnt play around and is loyal to his girl.  Right now, he has no girlfriend. 

For its follow-up offering for 2019, ALV Films gives a millennial twist to the rich boy-poor girl love story in Because I Love You,starring Shaira Diaz and David Licauco, megged by award-winning director Joel Lamangan.

The chinito heartthrob and Kapuso actor plays Rael, the cool, quiet and reserved executive and heir to his family’s business empire, whose conservative roots have shaped him into stereotyped thinking, including matters of the heart.

For her part, Shaira plays Summer, the tenacious, street-smart firefighter who proudly continues her departed dad’s heroic legacy, much to the chagrin of her mom who wishes her to be a flight attendant or a beauty queen.

But just how do they cross paths? And who falls for the other first?

One thing’s for sure though. Netizens noticed the chemistry between David and Shaira as early as last year, when they guested for Magpakailanman’s‘Nakawin Natin Ang Bawat Sandali’ episode last July 2018, which will be replayed this coming Saturday, June 8.  The couple became one of the top trending topics on social media. Their “kilig-worthy” tandem was heightened all the more during their guesting for One Hugot Away, GMA-7’s web/TV project last March.

The two Kapuso artists have figured prominently in GMA-7’s top-rating teleseryes. Some of Shaira’s more recent projects include Contessa(2017), Pamilya Roces(2018) and Love You Two(2019). David’s recent outings include Mulawin vs. Ravena(2017), Kapag Nahati Ang Puso(2018) and TODA One I Love(2019).

Because I Love You also stars Martin del Rosario, Michelle Dee, Samantha Lopez, Bernadette Allyson, Monsour del Rosario, Mr. World Philippines 2018 JB Saliba, Timothy Lawrence Yap, Bryan Benedict, IC Mendoza, Victor Basa, Rob Sy, Chris Leonardo, LM Mercado, Afi Africa, Melo Merkona, Jao Mapa, and Mosang, with special cameo appearances by Miss Multinational 2017 Sophia Senoron, Miss Eco International 2018 Cynthia Thomalla, RJ Ledesma and newly-elect Senator Francis Tolentino.

ALV Films President Arnold Vegafria is greatly excited about the loveteam's potential, particularly for today's young fans. He says, "For this project, I wanted to launch new artists, new faces, a new love team. I know it’s a big risk, but I strongly believe in the movie’s potential. It’s fresh content, and a very aspirational story, and I hope the movie spreads through word-of-mouth.”

“With their combined strengths as influencers and exemplary role models for the youth, they can rightfully be hailed as today's fast-rising millennial icons. I have always believed in David and Shaira's acting potential, and it's high time that they get their first big break through this launching movie."

 “I have always been excited about producing movies, because it’s my way of giving back to the industry. We hope to create more jobs and make the industry flourish, and make our films competitive in foreign film festivals,” Vegafria adds.

For some of the movie’s pivotal scenes, the producers spared no expense in recreating the lavish and opulent cinematic backdrops reminiscent of the acclaimed 1990 romcom Pretty Woman, which starred Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.

David underwent intensive training in horseback riding and polo, and a chopper was also flown in for an authentic ‘old rich’ vibe. 

The feel-good romcom, written by Charlotte Dianco, a popular Wattpad writer and TV director, also marks the second offering of ALV Films for this year.

The movie’s theme song is a remake of the Dave Clark Five and Julian Lennon hit of the same title, rearranged by Vincent de Jesus and performed by RnB Prince Kris Lawrence.

Produced by ALV Films in cooperation with Garahe Films, distributed by Regal Films, Because I Love Youopens in local cinemas on June 26.

Shell launches its #MakeTheFuture campaign for kids

As parents, we would want our kids to live their lives a little greener. By doing that, we should teach our kids to conserve energy at home. Not only does it help us, but it shows them how to conserve energy and live a more greener lifestyle. 

Pilipinas Shell recently launches #MaketheFuture campaign designed for kids as it celebrates 105 years in the business. 

(L-R) Country Chairman of Shell Companies in the Philippines Cesar Romero,Shell Philippines Country Health Manager Dr. Rose Rivera and Managing Director of Shell Philippines Exploration B.V. (SPEX) Don Paulino answer questions of our future shareholders-our children, at Shell Philippines’ Kids #MakeTheFuture

Pilipinas Shell (Shell) renews its commitment to deliver more and cleaner energy to help meet growing needs and find ways to use energy more efficiently.

At the heart of this commitment is the goal to #MakeTheFuture of energy one that is environmentally and socially responsible and thus, sustainable with the help of all stakeholders, including kids.

Shell launched its #MakeTheFuture campaign with an event designed for kids at the Mind Museum in Bonifacio Global City Taguig.

“Everything that we are doing today impacts on future generations, and it is interesting to see what tomorrow’s decision-makers and leaders know about energy, how they’re affected and what they think must happen to ensure that Shell can help make the future sustainable for them,” says Cesar Romero, country chairman of Shell companies in the Philippines.

By holding the Kids #MakeTheFuture event, Shell intends to create an opportunity to promote energy consciousness and education among youngsters, as well as to invite them to join the discussion on improving and making the future of energy.

The young attendees were among the first to see the #MakeTheFuture campaign video which highlights inspiring stories of kids who benefit from ongoing programs like Access to Energy, Shell’s program to power off-grid communities using renewable energy.

Romero was joined by Managing Director of Shell Philippines Exploration B.V. (SPEX) Don Paulino and Country Health Manager Dr. Rose Rivera in providing insights on the many ways that everyone, including kids, use and expend energy, and what Shell does to provide them the energy that they need.

Among those who attended the Kids #MaketheFuture event were children of celebrities like Nathan Linsangan, son of Camille Prats-Yambao; Micaela Pingris, daughter of Danica Sotto-Pingris; and Eia Tan, daughter of Sherilyn Reyes-Tan. Together with other kids from the Trumpets Playshop, The School of Academics and Arts, Eton International School, and children of invited media, they responded to and asked questions during kid-friendly discussions held to jumpstart their energy education.

“We really want to empower kids. They have so much potential to create things, and all we need to do is give them the right resources and opportunities,” says Romero. “By showing them that we can put renewable energy to good use, like powering up communities, we hope to help them realize that they can make the future of energy clean, sustainable and possible for everyone,” he adds.

FWD Life Insurance innovates employee experience with WorksForMe

At a time when work-life balance and personal time-off days have become strong buzzwords for employees, FWD Life Insurance (“FWD Philippines”) has gone beyond the tried-and-tested route and rewrote the employment rule book, enhancing its brand and business in the process. Considered one of the fastest-growing insurance companies in the Philippines, FWD Philippines launched “WorksForMe” in 2018, its enhanced employee benefits program designed to help the organization’s workforce celebrate life while they work.

 Through the program, FWD employees can now say, “At FWD, I can choose what works for me!”

“WorksForMe is the outcome of collaborative efforts to improve benefits for our employees, after surveying what the challenges and areas of improvement were,” said FWD Philippines Chief People and Culture Officer Rozanne Parungo. “It all boils down to providing better experiences for our employees.” Making Brand Advocates out of FWD EmployeesThere is a business principle that people-oriented leaders of organizations strive to adhere to: in order to best serve customers, employees need—first and foremost—to be empowered and to be motivated. They also need to stay fit to carry out their functions.

 It all starts with top leadership intent on helping promote the health and well-being of a vital component in the organizational wheel: its people. Indeed, FWD Philippines’ unique people-oriented employee benefits program WorksForMe has the solid backing of senior leadership team, headed by President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Grimes.
 Adapting to the Changing Times“FWD pioneered the WorksForMe program to advocate work-life balance while empowering and giving our employees the flexibility to choose what works for them,” added Parungo. “Our new and improved employee benefits program is a testament to how we adapt to the changing times, strongly encouraging our people to live the brand spirit and “get ready to live” for themselves and their families.” 

Part and parcel of FWD’s WorksForMe program are special leave entitlements for employees. As part of the program, employees’ vacation leaves (VL) can be rolled over during the next 12 months of the succeeding year. The longer the employee stays with the company, the more VLs they earn. Upon reaching the employee’s third year of tenure, an additional VL will be given, and one more every year thereafter up to a maximum of 24 total VLs annually, hence recognizing the employees’ loyalty.

 Sick leaves, on the other hand, can be used up to the end of the year. Unused SLs can then be banked and converted to VL, as the employee elects. This benefit feature gives the employees the option to utilize their unused leaves in a way that is more suitable to them. Pioneering Flexibility, Enhancing ProductivityThe benefits do not stop there. Employees may work from anywhere (WFA) up to five (5) days for each quarter. All that is required is manager approval as well as availability of appropriate tools to perform tasks at the same productivity level offered by the office environment.

Flexible work arrangements have also received the FWD top-level management’s nod of approval. They show extra consideration for people’s mobility or commuting problems, as well as varying peak performance time. At FWD, employees can start their work day as early as 7 a.m. or as late as 10 a.m., with corresponding end of shifts at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively. This flexibility is aimed at not only lessening the employees’ commute or transit time to and from the office, but most importantly enhancing their productivity level. Parungo said, “The work schedule options allow our employees to be flexible and to be innovation- focused at the same time.” Giving Back, Paying It ForwardFWD Philippines’ “Community Care Time-Off” serves the dual purpose of encouraging its workforce to pursue their passions through community service. Employees are given two (2) paid time-off days to give back to their communities.

In order to be entitled to the allotted paid time-off days a year, employees need to take part in FWD’s existing Community Care programs or perform charitable work/community service. Reinforced by the company’s own Community Care employee passion group (committee), employees are encouraged to take part in various efforts, internal or otherwise, supporting the community and contributing to their betterment. Since the program’s launch, FWD employees have volunteered in the company’s host of Community Care partners Humanity & Inclusion, Special Olympics, and Tanging Tanglaw Solar Lolas Project. Beyond these initiatives, employees have likewise supported organizations that drive feeding programs, rehabilitation of the Pasig River, and even marathons whose proceeds go to charities, amongst others.
 “Our values guide our actions, and so do our policies and practices,” Parungo said. “Engaging and letting people thrive and prosper is one of our key priorities. We want to constantly encourage our employees to support and take part in achieving FWD’s Community Care vision: to empower people to live fulfilled lives.”

 Driving Positive Change for and with EmployeesFWD employees are now as motivated as ever to go beyond their comfort zone and reach out to members of the community. “I feel my world is bigger because I get to explore and be in love with other activities outside work – like running, hiking, and volunteering for the environment,” FWD employee TJ Catapang shares.
 WorksForMe gives current and future employees a better sense of what makes FWD a very good workplace to be part of. By contributing to its employees’ well-being through this program, FWD Life Insurance is not only living up to its vision of “changing the way people feel about insurance,” it also innovates employee experiences as it aims to truly become an employer of choice in the Philippines.
