    Aliw Awards Foundation Inc. Nominations for 2020 Aliw Awards Revealed

    Why Aliw Awards? This is the question that came first in my mind when I have heard or read about the Aliw Awards Foundation Inc. (AAFI). In relation with the questions: “What’s this Aliw Award? What’s in it for an aspiring live performer?” of Enrique P. Romualdez to the Founder and President of AAFI, Alice H. Reyes which apparently, the wife of a high-ranking Marcos official had asked him to ensure that a certain live performer would received ALiw’s top award, the Entertainer of the Year award, back then during eighties, that year.

    Alice H. Reyes

    Ms. Reyes had answered Mr. Romualdez inquiry that since the Aliw Awards Foundation was the first ever award-giving body to give due recognition to the country’s live entertainers, receiving an Aliw Award, particularly the Entertainer of the Year award,for a live entertainer, was considered a definite plum because the goal of an entertainer is not only to entertain but also to receive the acclaim of his or her audience , manifested through the applause given him or her. In other words, it is the recognition of their excellence in their craft, the satisfaction in the knowledge that they have “arrived”, so to speak , the adulation of their audience manifested through their applause.

    Let’s go back to the Nominations for 2020 Aliw Awards which was revealed last October 31, 2020. The coverage of performances is from November 01, 2019 up to October 31, 2020. 2020 Aliw Awards Night will be held on December 08, 2020 at the Fiesta Pavilion, The Manila Hotel.

  • Shopee Strengthens Supports for Brands to Reach Millions of Online Customers with 10.10 Brands Festival

    Shopee Strengthens Supports for Brands to Reach Millions of Online Customers with 10.10 Brands Festival

    On October 10, shoppers can enjoy free shipping with no minimum spend, big discounts, and amazing deals from leading brands.

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, continues its strong support for brands with the 10.10 Brands Festival. As more businesses explore the potential of e-commerce during the pandemic, Shopee is committed to providing the optimal environment to help brands of all sizes launch, scale, and succeed online.

    Three leading brands share how they utilize Shopee’s robust suite of marketing and operational solutions, including in-app features and big campaigns to accelerate their business growth online.

    Unilever realized the potential of Shopee’s in-app features with its Beauty That Cares Campaign last August. Through ShopeeLive, Unilever spread awareness for its advocacy to help small and local businesses affected by the pandemic. Unilever also uses other Shopee in-app features like Flash Deals and marketing solutions to reach a wider audience and build a seamless and shopping experience for their consumers.

    Jackie Mañago, Digital Commerce Marketing Manager at Unilever, said, “With the recent health crisis, we saw how consumer priorities have shifted and had to re-think the brand experience and find new ways to engage consumers. Thanks to our solid partnership with Shopee, we quickly adapted, strengthened our presence, and continuously served our shoppers amidst the pandemic.”

    Despite the limitation of selling channels during the pandemic, Realme routed its focus on e-commerce and gave more importance to offering affordable devices for communication, e-schooling, and work at home with Shopee. Realme was also able to amplify its exposure and increase its sales by using Shopee’s marketing services like ShopeeLive, banners, and campaigns.

    Eason de Guzman, Marketing Lead at Realme Philippines, said, “Through ShopeeLive, banners, and the famous Gadget Zone, we have been able to maximize our exposure and provide the best offers in our exclusive launches. Their platform creates a positive and inviting atmosphere, encouraging brands to participate in their campaigns. Since our partnership with Shopee began, we have seen stronger sales, whether it’s a launch or sustaining.”

    Since the start of the quarantine period last March, Alaska has been working closely with Shopee to boost their brand presence online. Alaska took advantage of Shopee’s highly visible in-app spots such as the flash deals section, marketing tools, and big campaigns to promote their products. With Shopee, Alaska saw 10x growth compared to last year.

    Marx Benedict So, Digital E-Commerce Manager for Alaska Milk Corporation, said, “Data and media are the lifelines of e-commerce. Thanks to Shopee, we can check which of our ads and products perform well using the marketing tool. Segment buys also play a crucial role, especially if there will be an upcoming campaign as these can increase awareness and convert consumers who are not yet exposed to the brand.”

    Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “At Shopee, brands form the backbone of our business. We have built a strong record of helping brands overcome business challenges and shift to online seamlessly with our strong ecosystem of solutions. We launched the 10.10 Brands Festival, the region’s biggest online shopping event for brands, to provide brands the needed visibility to further scale their business online. We have also expanded our offerings to help our brand partners find success online, and we will continue to do so to support and empower brands to capture immense growth opportunities in the Philippines.”

    Shopee 10.10 Brands Festival

    Shopee 10.10 Brands Festival will run from September 24 to October 10, 2020. It will feature exciting promos like free shipping with ₱0 minimum spend, daily cash backs, and bigger discounts when shoppers use ShopeePay.

  • Boyband Love, a BL digital series to watch out for

    Boyband Love, a BL digital series to watch out for

    Boyband Love (BBL) is a BL digital series that revolves around LMTLSS (pronounced as limitless), a pinoy boyband composed of Aiden, Danny, Jamie, and Rico who have one goal in mind – stardom! However, their journey won’t be easy as their personalities clash, and their personal vendettas get in the way. Topbilling the series are Arkin Del Rosario (former member of XLR8) as Aiden, and Gus Villa as Danny, the leads of the boyband who will eventually fall in love for each other that will become the central conflict of the whole series. Both Arkin and Gus became part of boybands in real life.

    Meanwhile, multi-talented Gus Villa is a singer, actor, endorser, blogger, and influencer. He started in the industry 10 years ago, and was also part of the Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman, and has been playing support roles in some teleseryes of both GMA and ABS-CBN. Boyband Love will serve as his first lead role and he is quite excited and pressured at the same time. Expect a new and daring Gus Villa that will surely sweep you off your feet.

    Comedian Brenda Mage is also part of the cast in a very special role as Madam Curacha, the manager of LMTLSS. Brenda Mage rose to popularity after being part of It’s Showtime’s Ms Q&A, and has since then appeared in some of Vice Ganda’s hit movies and TV projects. His life was also featured in ABS-CBN’s Maalala Mo Kaya where he played as himself. Expect Brenda to bring some laughter and lightness in the show.

    The other LMTLSS members are Louie Gabarda as Rico, and Job Piamonte as Jamie, who are both successful in the modelling world. This project serves as the launching acting job for these two. Both Louie and Job are equally ecstatic to become part of the project.

    Completing the ensemble cast are neophyte actors Luise Gragera and Regine Fernando Luise started his career by joining talent shows and has also become part of several boyband groups, while Regine is a freelance model and is now ready to venture into acting.

    Boyband Love (BBL) tackles issues about the LGBTQ+ community with music industry as the backdrop. It aims to become an eye-opener to help the audience understand that everyone is equal and has the right to love, to dream, and to be treated as human no matter what gender preference each of us has.

  • LANY, vivo encourages millennials to ignite the night in the “new normal”

    LANY, vivo encourages millennials to ignite the night in the “new normal”

    For globally-successful pop band, LANY, the Philippines will forever remain memorable because it is where they staged their first-ever arena concert, at no less than the Smart Araneta Coliseum in 2018. 

    LANY frontman Paul Klein even tweeted “Best night of my life without a doubt. Thank you, Manila” after the sold-out event.

    Today, after dozens of crowd-drawing concerts worldwide, LANY—composed of Paul, drummer Jake Gross and keyboardist Les Priest—is about to sing their way back to the hearts of Filipino fans, via an upcoming album, “Mama’s Boy”. Recently, the band has also been introduced as the latest brand ambassadors of leading technology company, vivo.

    With “Mama’s Boy”, the trio has found inspiration in looking back at their own journey as a band, from finding their unique sound, to finding global success in the music industry that perhaps started with their Manila concert.

    Paul, Jake, and Les formed LANY, an acronym for “Los Angeles New York”, in Los Angeles in 2015. With poetic lyrics on love and heartbreak, a dream-like soundscape, and modern aesthetic, the group easily captured millennials’ attention after releasing their self-titled debut album.

    With hits such as “ILYSB”, “Thru These Tears”, and “I Don’t Wanna Love You Anymore”, LANY has since been selling out multiple nights across the Philippines. Their music, best enjoyed at night, has become an inspiration for millennials to make the most out of evenings, preventing them from simply slipping away.

    And as the latest brand ambassadors of vivo in the Philippines, LANY calls on their Filipino fans to continue to do the same. 

    “Mabuhay Philippines, we are LANY and we are so excited to be the new members of the vivo family. We’re having so much fun with the all-new vivo V19. Go and check it out, it will definitely ignite your night,” said the band in a video posted on vivo Philippine’s Facebook page.

    With this partnership, vivo and LANY invite millennials to ignite their night with the vivo V19 Neo, a phone that boasts of a super night mode camera feature and enhanced gaming capabilities–-perfect for work-from-home millennials who pursue their passions at night.

    Heed LANY and vivo’s call to “ignite your night” and get your hands on the brand-new vivo V19 Neo today through  Vivo’s official website, Shopee, and Lazada.
