Autotelic marks their decade-old tenure through a show dubbed Isang Dekadang Autotelic

Celebrated pop rock quintet Autotelic—singer-guitarist Josh Villena, guitarist Neil Tin, bassist Timothy “Pabs” Vargas, synth player EJ Edralin, and drummer Gep Macadaeg—marks their decade-old tenure through a show dubbed Isang Dekadang Autotelic, happening November 26, 2022, at 123 Block in Mandala Park, Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City. 

Formed in 2012 initially as a “side project” of sorts to the bands they were then in, the group soon found themselves—after a rigorous workshop of their intended sound, target milestones, and ballpark aesthetic—drawn to the union at hand.

More than spirited meeting-of-minds or spontaneous jam, those initial get-togethers became a problem-solving exercise: “How do we stand apart?” they asked. In Villena they certainly had a hook-churning pop machine, but it was up to the rest of them to fashion a sound largely (if not entirely) theirs. The answer lay in their shared love for OPM, sure, but also in their common adoration for dance pop, electronic music, and Japanese ephemera. This was evident in their debut eponymous EP (released in 2014), which boasted of a heady mix of danceable guitar pop and future-forward indie rock, but with narratives that veered from typical lovelorn fare but remained nevertheless accessible. “We wanted to make a dent, even just for a little bit,” Gep confessed. That dent became a burrow, and that ripple morphed into waves. Autotelic played bars like they were arenas; they projected on TV the way they would in a small café.

Armed with infectious tunes and bob-worthy arrangements, unsuspecting slices-of-life like “Dahilan,” “Laro,” “Languyin,” “Gising,” and “Takipsilim” became more than songs; it’s not so much that they became anthems either, but, rather, like choice pieces of furniture in an endearing, endeared, and well-appointed home. Both critics and fans agree. In their decade-long career, Autotelic have snagged accolades from Jam 88.3, Jack Daniel’s, Vandals on the Wall, Myx Awards, and, most notably, Awit Awards, where they won Best Performance Bya New Group Recording Artist for “Laro” in 2017.

“We weren’t gunning for these things, but we always appreciated it,” Neil sheepishly shared, stressing that more than the approval of suits, the band has always chased the approval of warm bodies, measuring themselves not by citations but the immediacy of the live show. Their forthcoming anniversary show on November 26 seeks to celebrate all of this and more. With fellow self-made stars in the marquee—the somehow-always-viral December Avenue, and DIY royalty Ang Bandang Shirley—the show is sure to give fans a worthwhile weekend to look forward to. Isang Dekadang Autotelic is being presented by Otelik and H2, with sponsors The Havas Ortega Group, Linya Linya, Jack Daniel’s, and Goto Believe, with the help of media partners JAM 88.3, 99.5 PLAY FM, and 91.5 Win Radio.

Kenny Rogers Roasters is eyeing aggressive growth by tapping unserved areas across the country

 

While many restaurants were forced to temporarily downsize because of the pandemic, Kenny Rogers Roasters is eyeing aggressive growth by tapping unserved areas across the country, and improving market penetration through store expansion and innovation.  Since 2020, the restaurant chain has managed to open 19 new stores, 17 of which were in Luzon, one in Visayas, and one in Mindanao. 

 

At a time both consumers and food establishments were searching for ways to implement stringent safety measures to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus while still running the business, Kenny Rogers Roasters was also quick to launch its first Park and Order store, as well as several drive thru stores. These new stores have provided customers with more accessible, convenient, and safer options to enjoy their favorite Kenny Rogers Roasters products.

 

Encouraged by the success of their newly-opened restaurants, Petter Danilla, Kenny Rogers Business Development Director said, “We will fortify our presence in the Philippines by opening more flagship stores along major cities and provinces to maximize the demand for convenience and accessibility, and continue to deliver that signature deliciously healthy Kenny Rogers Roasters experience.” 

 

Alongside their aggressive expansion, Kenny Rogers Roasters continues to innovate while maintaining the sense of familiarity that customers are used to, by coming up with different ways to keep its menu offerings fun, new, and exciting.  To date, the restaurant chain has already come up with recent product innovations that are aligned with the brand’s “deliciously healthy” mantra – from Chipotle, Salted Egg, and Wrap & Roll to Chimichurri and Smokehouse BBQ. But they’re not slowing down as Lorent Adrias, Kenny Rogers Roasters Marketing Director, promised, “There’s a lot to be excited about! We are definitely developing and launching a wide selection of products very soon that guests will surely love and enjoy, which will elevate their whole eating experience.”

 

While the past two years have been very fruitful for Kenny Rogers Roasters, the brand is not about to rest on its laurels as it sets its sights on even bigger goals to ensure that its growth and expansion are sustained in the coming years: “We plan to open 100 stores in the next five years, bringing the store network up to more than 200 branches and sales more than Php 10 billion.”

 

As for Kenny Rogers Roasters’ food offerings, Adrias remarked, “Everything we do is centered on consumer insight. It’s focused on consumer needs.” So the restaurant chain will continue to innovate its food offerings as Adrias added, “Innovation, there’s no end to it. It’s limitless and endess. And, we want to establish Kenny Rogers Roasters as the most innovative brand in the market.”
