Ginebra San Miguel first Ginumanfest live online concert salutes frontiners and the Filipino spirit

Every year, thousands of people gather together for Ginebra San Miguel’s Ginumanfest, an annual music festival held in different regions nationwide. 

Since 2011, Ginumanfest has been championing the best in OPM talent year on year, bringing Filipinos together for an epic celebration of music, food, and the world’s largest selling gin.

For this year 2020, as an act of unity in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ginebra San Miguel held its first-ever live online concert. The heritage brand urged us to digitally get together via Ginebra San Miguel’s Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/BarangayGinebra/) last June 20 at 8:00 pm, as ONE GINEBRA NATION to support and salute our frontliners, our freedom to enjoy life, and the never-say-die Filipino spirit.

Honoring Heroes 

Now more than ever, the message of unity and togetherness of Ginebra San Miguel’s “One Ginebra Nation” campaign could not be more timely. 

Early on in the crisis, Ginebra San Miguel found a way to do its part to help as well as to honor the modern heroes in the frontlines. 

Aside from donating millions of liters of ethyl alcohol to hospitals and the frontlines, Ginebra San Miguel came out with a reimagination of its iconic label by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo. The image of St. Michael the Archangel vanquishing the devil that has been on the Kuwatro Kantos and Bilog bottles for over 100 years were turned into artworks honoring the brave doctors, nurses, security guards, factory workers, delivery and grocery personnel. These artworks were posted on Ginebra San Miguel’s Facebook Page and netizens were inspired to react and share. 

Ginebra San Miguel responded to the clamor to make these artworks an actual bottle label so a limited edition Kuwatro Kantos bottle was released with the commemorative label featuring the healthcare workers. 

Ginebra San Miguel also gave more reasons to toast the Filipinos’ heroic deeds and never-say-die spirit when it launched its newest products – GSM Blue Flavors Tamarind Punch and the Ginebra San Miguel Hari one-liter bottle at the live online concert. 

A Night of Hope 

The live online concert featured three of the Philippines’ biggest bands namely Banda ni Kleggy, Silent Sanctuary, and December Avenue not only kept netizens entertained with their hits, they also sent out messages of hope and encouragement.  

Hosted by Magic 89.9’s DJ Suzy Gamboa and DJ CJ Rivera, viewers were encouraged to prepare their favorite Ginebra San Miguel drinks as they were also treated to the special participation of industry idols such as Sue Ramirez, 2020 Ginebra San Miguel Calendar Girl Sanya Lopez, top favorite candidates from Miss Universe Philippines pageant, and the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Gin Kings. 

As the event carried on and the festivities came to a close, guests and viewers gathered in a virtual toast as heroes celebrating heroes and gave thanks to everyone who made the unforgettable night possible.

You can still catch the first Ginumanfest live online concert event via Ginebra San Miguel’s Official Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/BarangayGinebra/

This event was brought to us by Ginebra San Miguel, GSM Blue, and GSM Premium Gin and was powered by Magic 89.9.

Sweet & Strong Red Ribbon Dads: Paul, Doug, and Drew talk about fatherhood during quarantine

It doesn’t come as a surprise that many people rely on the strength of their fathers as the heads of the family.  Some fathers may be goofy, and some may be quiet, but one thing is for sure – dads have that natural ability to bring out the warmest smiles and unyielding courage in everybody within the family. 

And as we navigate through this trying time, we see our dads carrying on and exhibiting incomparable strength. While their guidance has allowed everyone to remain safe, their sweetness and lighthearted humor have kept the family hopeful and optimistic.

This situation is no different for our Red Ribbon dad ambassadors, Doug Kramer, Paul Soriano and Drew Arellano, who by their time spent indoors allowed them to cement their position as the steadfast pillars of their families, all while keeping a cheerful and cared-for household.

Doug Kramer has been spending much of his time as a parent recently, with him retiring from PBA November 2019, and his kids home-schooling for the past three years. “It’s such a pleasure being a dad to my three wonderful kids -- Kendra, Scarlett, and Gavin. Nurturing them and watching them grow leaves me with a different kind of satisfaction as their father.” Sharing how he keeps the family optimistic despite the quarantine, Doug said that he involves his kids into doing household chores. “Cheska and I take turns in doing the dishes, while the kids are taught how to do gardening and fixing their rooms. This way, they will be equipped with the right life skills so that in the future, when they are on their own, they have with them the strength to survive any challenge,” added Doug.

To Paul Soriano, instilling a positive mindset within their family makes it easier for them to triumph over any challenge. When asked what he has done to brighten up the mood at home, he shares that it is mostly his son, Seve, who brings the true spirit of joy in all of them. “Seve has been great, he has a sense of what's going on but he loves the idea that we're home with him every day. We watch films together, read books, play games, and create activities that keep us entertained,” said Paul.

Keeping the family safe has also been Drew Arellano’s top priority, most especially with a third child on the way. “My wife is pregnant, so giving utmost importance to safety and sanitation became one of my biggest responsibilities. Aside from the usual protocols, we had to explain to our young kids what was happening in a manner appropriate for their age,” shared Drew. “But now that we already got into our groove and established a routine, we realize that there are also good things coming out of this quarantine—like exercising with my wife, watching Primo swim without floaters on, watching Leon make funny facial expressions, along with other things that we would not usually see happen under normal circumstances,” he added.

As proven by Red Ribbon’s dad endorsers, fathers deserve to be honored for all the strong and sweet efforts they have done for their families even during the toughest of times. Red Ribbon makes it easier to show appreciation and give tribute to our #SweetStrongDads with delectable cakes that can make any moment, whether together or apart, sweeter and more special. Watch their special Father’s Day tribute video by clicking this link,https://www.facebook.com/redribbonbakeshop/posts/3139775319399360.

Choose from an impressive variety of cakes: from the delicious and personalizable Chocolate Dedication Cake, the delectable choco-coffee-creamy flavor of Tiramisu Meltdown, and to the milk chocolatey Triple Chocolate Roll Cake! No matter what you choose, there is always a perfect Red Ribbon treat fitting for any kind of dad. Indeed when you want to make it special, you make it Red Ribbon.

Hong Kong Disneyland officially reopens today

 Today, Disney characters and cast members welcomed guests back as the gates of Hong Kong Disneyland reopened once again. The resort introduced a number of enhanced health and safety measures, as well as social distancing guidelines so that guests can continue to #BelieveInMagic and embark on their magical journey.

Prior to the park’s reopening earlier today, a special celebration moment hosted by Stephanie Young, managing director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, took place along Main Street, U.S.A. overlooking the iconic castle. Beloved Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy joined her to mark the park’s official reopening, complete with joyous fanfare and celebration. 

Excited fans who entered the park for the first time in months were treated to a special surprise, when both Stephanie Young and Melody Leung, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort’s Ambassador, welcomed them warmly at the gates, to start the magical morning in true Disney style. 

“I am grateful for the support of the incredible Hong Kong community, commitment of medical staff and dedication of our cast members who managed through this challenging time,” Young said. “The health and safety of our guests and cast members continues to be at the forefront of our minds, and our cast members have been working tirelessly to put all the necessary measures in place for guests to enjoy a magical visit.”

The reopening of Hong Kong Disneyland demonstrates a deliberate approach with new and enhanced health and safety measures, reflecting the guidance of health and government authorities. The park has instituted new measures and procedures, such as operating with limited attendance and required advance reservations, accommodating social distancing in queues, restaurants, attraction vehicles and other facilities throughout the park, and implementing increased frequency of cleaning and sanitization.

   

   

Cast members greeting guests as they entered the park to experience the magic once again. With enhanced health and safety measures in place, guests were excited to start their magical journey.

Invited through The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council, a local family from Tung Chung spent a magical and relaxing day in Hong Kong Disneyland. They shared that it was fun and exciting to experience Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle! as a family.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is welcoming guests once again with an exciting line up of offerings and experiences.

“The construction continues as the Castle of Magical Dreams, scheduled to launch in late 2020, enters its final stage of transformation. The Castle will stand as a shining beacon of courage, hope, and possibility, which we will forever hold dear to our heart,” added Young. 

Enjoy Disney magic in a fun way

Disney magic can be found all around the park with attractions and shows open to guests once again. Guests should be on the lookout for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, accompanied by their closest pals. Throughout the park, guests should have their camera ready, because new surprises from our Disney friends might be around the corner!

The fun continues with food and beverage offerings, as well as merchandise products to welcome back our guests and help them create fond memories to celebrate their magical return.

Did You Catch Your Favorite TikTok Creators on Eat Bulaga?

ICYMI, the long-running noontime show “Eat Bulaga” featured a few favorite TikTok creators on its “Bawal Judgmental!” segment last June 16.

“Bawal Judgmental!” is a simple game where the player of the day, usually a celebrity guest, must choose the correct answer to a question from among a group of seven people, each with distinguishing characteristics and experiences. A friend or guest helps the player choose the right answers.

 For the June 16 episode, Papa Jackson was the celebrity contestant, and TikTok creators, @ivy_vicencio,@lennieenverga, @richobautista, @sesbombchris, @lykabarista, @marvsfojas, and @zendeeofficial made up the group of seven.

The segment started with an introduction of each TikTok creator, along with a kasabihan or saying from them. Ivy Vicencio, who posts acting and dance videos with her partner, Gardo Versoza, was the first one introduced. She shared a classic Filipino saying, “Ang taong hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.”

Another notable saying was a funny one shared by Lyka Barista, a creator whose Tagalog-with-a-Korean-accent comedy videos have become popular in recent weeks. In true comedienne fashion, her kasabihan was, “Walang madilim na daan kung jowa ang pupuntahan.”

After all the creators were introduced, the hosts proceeded with Round One of the game. The first question was, “Who among the seven has more than 1 million followers on TikTok?” In this round, Papa Jackson was able to get 3 correct answers.

His first correct choice was Marvin Fojas, who already has 2 million followers on TikTok. During his brief interview, Marvin shared that he creates mostly comedy skits and classroom scenarios. He even gave a short sample of a classroom skit together with hosts, Paolo Ballesteros and Jose Manalo.

Zendee, with 2.6 million followers, was also correctly identified in this round. She talked about posting often while on quarantine, since a lot of people were at home and watching. Her videos make use of humor to call out toxic personalities, which is a topic that she feels is relatable to many of her followers.

 The third correct answer was Lennie Enverga, who now has 3.1 million TikTok followers. A full-time social media influencer, Lennie shared that she enjoys creating videos, which her viewers enjoy watching.

In Round Two, the question asked was, “Who among the creators became product endorsers because of TikTok?” Among the 3 possible answers, Papa Jackson only got one correct – Lennie who has endorsed phones, energy drinks and condiments. The other correct answers were Christian Antolin and Richo Bautista.

Christian aka @sesbombchris’ original parody, meme and spoof videos landed him a condominium endorsement. Known for editing himself into other creators’ viral social media videos, Christian has been on TikTok since 2018, but only started posting regularly during ECQ.

Richo, on the other hand, was tapped to endorse “Palawan Pera Padala” as his popular Kapitbahay Seryecharacters, Mars and Aling Nena. His famous line, “Walang gano’n Mars” was also used in the ad. A public school teacher, Richo has a huge following on TikTok, and even Maine Mendoza said on the show that he is one of her online idols.

In Round Three, Papa Jackson had to guess who among the creators joined a TikTok competition. He selected Marvin Fojas, which was, unfortunately, the wrong answer. The correct choice was Lennie, who joined the South East Asian TikTok All-Star Competition.

At the end of the segment, host Vic Sotto gave these closing statements, “Sa panahon ngayon, bawal ang pasaway. Bawal ang magkasakit. Pero hindi bawal ang magsaya at sumabay sa mga trending na gaya ng pagti-TikTok. Basta maging responsable lang sa pagpo-post."

 [Translation: In today’s situation, we can’t risk going against the safety rules. We can’t risk getting sick. But that doesn’t mean it’s not ok to have fun and go with the trends, like joining TikTok. But always remember to post responsibly.]
