Inspiring change
As a continuation of the Earth Month initiatives from last year in the Galapagos Islands, Contiki Holidays invited Mikael Daez, his videographer and brother Nicky Daez, and a selection of 11 other inspiring storytellers from around the world to travel to Costa Rica for our newest Contiki Cares partnership with The Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC). 

From 29 March – 07 April 2014, the group teamed up on a VIP conservation trip, based on Contiki’s 12-day Costa Rica Unplugged itinerary, with Contiki’s sustainability partner Céline Cousteau – a documentary filmmaker,environmental activist and granddaughter of Jacques Cousteau.The Storytellers took to Torteuguero Beach for two nights to track leatherback turtles, protect their nests from poachers in the area and were lucky enough to witness the incredible nesting process of two leather back 
turtles.


They also experienced all that bio diverse Costa Rica has to offer in true Contiki fashion – zip lining through the rainforest, rafting through the rapids, taking a dip in the hot springs and touring the canals in hopes of spotting some of the beautiful wildlife native to the area.With the belief that storytelling has the powerful ability to inspire change, Contiki Holidays has released an inspiring short film of the Contiki Storytellers experience (www.contiki.com/storytellers).




To encourage viewers to share the video with their peers and raise awareness of the human dangers currently faced by sea turtles, Contiki Holidays has also pledged to sponsor a turtle as each 250,000 view benchmark is reached.

Fila Ambassadors , ‘ The Volcanoes’ heats up the public fans @ Fila Glorietta and Fila Mall of Asia with hunk Fabio Ide & Tessa Prieto Valdes

Last Sunday, June 22, 2014  , I happened to be the group of media that cover the meet and greet of the Volcano Ambassadors with the hunk Mr. Fabio and with fashion designer , columnist Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdez  who came in her signature the  Avante-garde fashion.
 
Fila Glorietta II and SM Mall of Asia branch has been the main venue and it seems one of the most inviting sales magnet being the result of this  ,mainly  because Filipino’s are so attached to their fans and are typically sports loving people.

Fans are so engrossed with  their idols as they make their fila fan be signed and have a selfie photos as they are eager to make every moment memorable.

This season I think is one of the most number of new models whether in shoes , bags and  accessories be it on shirts, shorts, jogging pants and other kind of accessories that a sportsman should and want to have.

Fila competes with the brand that cater the same product lines yet they make their commodities more reasonable in price yet with lot of new styles and of course durable but more  lower price compare to any other known branded products.

Reinvented Roxee B, more Daring in and out of the Spotlight this month on UNO

UNO has been one of the top selling men’s magazine on the country and last Sunday during the Toycon 2014 event. During the event, an unknown reason to other people maybe wonders why traffic has rage the streets of Ortigas , Yet I believe that the Autograph signing of Roxee  was one of  the major reason to the traffic jams that  makes the people come and buy the Issue of the Month  cover who represents  Roxee B
Even in various states of undress on the pages of this month’s issue, you can’t help but gaze at Roxee B’s face (familiar to most as the former Roxanne Barcelo).
The deceptively simple demeanor draws you in. Unlike most flamboyantly hot chicks du jour, this 15-year showbiz veteran still projects an aura of mystery you want to unravel.
Having done the teenybopper and reality show route, Roxee’s acting, singing and dancing chops have made her one of the industry’s durable stars. Resilience and work ethic are other obvious must-haves.

“There are no short cuts to success, there’s also no easy way to fit,” she says. “Motivation, in particular, is very important.”
It’s as if, like you, she’s still figuring herself out while having a blast in the process. After releasing an album and appearing on shows as varied as the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition and MTV Philippines’ annual VJ Hunt, Roxee took bigger risks by exploring hiphop and R&B in future music projects, and baring some skin on an Adolf Alix Jr. film. She’s also not shy about sharing herself, from her newfound love, fellow PBB alum Will Devaughn to her more intimate moments on social media.

“I just decided to accept myself for what I am,” she admits. And we can’t wait how she’ll surprise us next.

The rest of the beauties on UNO’s current lineup are equally beguiling. There’s OneFC’s Christine Hallauer and former General Luna frontwoman, Nicole Ascensio.
She’s just one of several singer/songwriters on our pages our top local musicians use about their all-time favorite OPM albums and influences. We also give you the reading equivalent of a backstage pass to one of the country’s hottest music festivals, Wanderlust.
And because we know that it’s the rockers and athletes who always get the girl, we sought advice from rising actor Alwyn Uytinco, star of the groundbreaking series Beki Boxer, on how to raise our game in love and live.
These stories and more tell us that it pays to move to your own beat. Find yours in this month’s issue.

Cover Girl Ryza Cenon sweetens and spices up UNO’s 2014 Swimsuit Special

The second day of Toycon 2014, June 21, 2014 , Uno’s Autograph signing with  one of the most flawless beauties that possesses good looks .. Not to mentioned, she has a sexy and  beautiful body  too.
Beyond the sun-kissed centerfold of Ryza Cenon, one of the four cover girls of UNO Magazine’s 2014 Swimsuit Special, there’s more to the story.
We reveal to readers how Ryza is a sexy study in contrasts, shifting from sweetness to seduction in seconds. Take your pick.
The self-described homebody wasn’t shy about showing some skin when the job calls for it. But as the reel becomes real Ryza, it turns out her favorite space is the kitchen. The self-taught culinary whiz confesses her love for baking and cooking
“Knowing how to cook is more attractive to boys,” she teases. “It means you’re not just sexy but wife material.”

Ryza makes another admission: Despite her rising celebrity status, she remains an introvert. Nevertheless, her habit of trying extreme sports like bungee jumping, gives away her adventurous streak that most guys would like to unleash.
Joining Ryza as one of the cover girls of the special issue is indie film goddess Mercedes Cabral.The morena beauty has slowly but surely gained mainstream success through talent and insight. But those dangerous curves, seen on full display on our pages, undeniably help.
Hot momma (of two!) Aubrey Miles also appears on the cover, four years later since her first. Unveiling the perpetually toned and tanned body that befits a budding fitness icon, she proves that some things never change.
Our fourth cover, social media standout Danica Torres bares the assets that got her international car shows and modelling gigs.

Red Turnips brings, “Rabbit Hole” ,On it’s 2nd Season

The story in the movie I considered was tricky and very observant story of how a married couple is getting along, eight months after their 4-year-old ran out into the street and was struck dead by a car. They were leveled with grief. Their sex life stopped. They lived for a time in a daze, still surrounded in the house by the possessions of the child who no longer lives there.
Yet the good part  here is the couple through their determination to start all over again through genuine love with each other learned to start all over again as they joined a group of couples that does undergoes with the same kind of situation they are going through so that they can live the married life that they ought to.

And for this  play that was directed by Topper Fabregas, as we interviewed him say’s that the story stays the same but the approaches are typically in the context of Filipino styles  with a mixture of fun and somewhat heart breaking situations  with a different kind of typical approaches that we normally does , And somewhat has make it more peculiar and traditionally true on our culture.
Whereas this plays was composed of this bold and daring actors such as Ana Abad Santos, Topper Fabregas, Jenny Jamora, Cris Villonco, and Rem Zamora seems to touch and gives a unique ,classy  and typical Filipino style of life that they want to portray .
For their first season, they introduced CLOSER by Patrick Marber , a the 1999 Tony Award nominated play and COCK by Mike Bartlett that will be shown again this coming October and  surely this is one too will be worth watching out ,  specially for the lovers of theatrical plays.


"Rabbit Hole" stars Agot Isidro , Michael Williams, Che- Ramos-Cosio , Sheila Francisco and Ross Pesigan and will opens August 1 and will run all weekend of that month.
Directed by Topper Fabregas and Special Thanks to FILA as one of their major sponsors.
