The latest restaurant to join the group is Modern Shanghai, which brings authentic recipes from the region and serves them in a homey, comfortable environment. It joins Watami, a top food and beverage restaurant in Japan, the first Village Tavern branch outside the US, and Japanese-Western restaurant Ma Maison. The four are the latest international chains brought to the Philippines by The Bistro Group, rounding out its restaurants.

“Boeing, Boeing” Bounces @ ONSTAGE with 3 Sexy Ladies

 

OOOH! SEXY LADIES!

“ BOEING BOEING ” BOUNCES ONSTAGE

I was at the gala premiere of the said stage play and I am so impressed with the performance our artist delivered and I am convinced that Filipino talents are capable of doing plays that is perfect and ready to compete with International scene. I almost break my jaw laughing and waiting for every scene of what’s going to happen next .

 Boeing, Boeing is a sex and comedy play that is about a guy who managed to have 3 flight attendants girlfriends of different airlines,  who has lived in past century where Internet connections, Cell phones and other related technologies does not exist. Their means of communication is by telephone land  lines and mails only . See how the 3 girlfriends almost see and clash but somehow with the help of his friend and maid he escape  from a devastating situation.

Repertory Philippines’ 46^th season opens with three unbelievably gorgeous girls in BOEING BOEING, the ultimate in high-flying comedy.

GIANNINA OCAMPO is lovely as the Sophia Loren-ish Italian Gabriella, CARLA DUNAREANU is outlandish as the über German Gretchen and JENNIFER BLAIR BIANCO is lusty as the American Gloria. In their figure-hugging stewardess uniforms, high heels, and jaunty hats, they are sure to bring us back to the time when men fantasized about air hostesses.

As international flight attendants for different airlines, the trio have different flight schedules coming into and out of Paris. This works out to the advantage of Bernard, an American architect based in the city, who learns to juggle their timetables so that he can carry on engagements with all three beautiful ladies. All this to the consternation of his faithful housekeeper, who also has to juggle décor and cuisine to suit the tastes of the German beauty, Italian enchantress, and American dream girl.

Bernard boasts of his shenanigans to an old classmate who comes to visit. Unfortunately, just then, a faster Boeing jet is introduced, turning the timetables topsy-turvy and causing a collision course between Bernard, and his fiancées, friend, and housekeeper.

DAVID BIANCO is athletic playboy Bernard, while TOPPER FABREGAS is Robert, Bernard’s boyhood friend, newly arrived from Wisconsin. Rounding off the cast is stage veteran and multi-awarded actress Baby Barredo as Bertha, the housekeeper, with stage stalwart Joy Virata as alternate.

Lamoiyan Corporation turns 'Silver'

 

Lamoiyan Corporation turns 'Silver'

                                                         

Its the Philippines pride to have such company as Lamoiyan known for HAPPEE toothpaste who does not only think of profit but  thinks specially of the least fortunate in our society. Their foundation does not only  help children on oral hygiene but also helping public school children to get rid of their lice on their hair for them to study well by eliminating and preventing major causes why there are absentees due to toothaches and lice controlled hairs.

In the left is Mr. Joel Pedro , Executive Asst. to the Office of the CEO Lamoiyan, Dr. Cecilio Pedro , President and CEO of Lamoiyan , Dr. Corazon Flores, Chairperson of Phil Dental Assoc., and Dr. Leticia Santos past President of Phil Dental Association.

Filipino-owned oral and personal care products manufacturer bares several activities in line with the celebration of its 25^th anniversary.

January 24, 2013, Alabang, Muntinlupa City—Lamoiyan Corporation formally launched today several activities in line with its 25^th anniversary and showcased its accomplishments to celebrate this important milestone.

Carrying the theme "Giving Hope, Sharing Hapee Smiles," no less than the company's President and CEO, Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro, revealed Lamoiyan Corporation’s 25^th anniversary audio-visual presentation, and also led the briefing to showcase its achievements for the past 25 years.

 

Dr. Pedro, together with another key executive from Lamoiyan Corporation, Peter Paul Ang, Assistant Vice President for New Business Development, also bared details about several activities currently in the pipeline in relation to its 25^th anniversary, which includes tie-ups with organizations such as the Philippine Dental Association (PDA) for its nationwide medical/dental missions. These activities will be conducted in key cities in the Philippines with the support of Lamoiyan’s trade partners.

The event also coincided with the company's three-day National Sales Convention that aims to empower and build a stronger business partnership with its valued trade partners.

Themed "Silver," which is also in line with the commemoration of the company's 25 years in the business, this annual conclave serves as a fitting tribute to their trade partners’ substantial contributions to Lamoiyan Corporation’s continued growth. The event also gives the trade partners a preview of Lamoiyan Corporation’s goals and programs for the year, and allows them to look back at the firm’s historic past and further foster camaraderie with one another.

“We believe that celebrating our silver anniversary amid this convention is the perfect opportunity for us to show what God has done for a Christian-Filipino company in a highly competitive oral care industry. With our trade partners present, together we will walk the path to victory,” Dr. Pedro said.

Lamoiyan Corporation traces back its roots in 1988 when Dr. Pedro decided to establish a 100% Filipino-owned firm that manufactures toothpastes, then the domain of multinationals. Its inception In March that same year saw the introduction of the first local toothpaste brand, , which since then has consistently maintained world-class quality at par with its foreign counterparts.

The company also stands proud as the first Filipino company that successfully penetrated the local toothpaste industry through its dental care brands, and Kutitap. Since then, its portfolio of products expanded, many of which have earned the love, patrimony and loyalty of consumers here and abroad.

“Many thought then that my decision was unwise but Lamoiyan Corporation’s success throughout the years proved otherwise. It’s been a good 25 years, and we are looking forward to more years together with our trade partners in order to make a difference—all for the glory of God,” Dr. Pedro continues.

If only there are many Dr. Pedro in the realm of business and even in politics here in our country, I think our country will be more productive and even have more funds to use for the benefit of the less fortunate people in our country. May this person be a model to every businesses in our country and may their tribes increase in our society.
