For drinks, a citrusy blend made with a Juicer compliments your hearty meal, and helps cleanse your palate for dessert. 

    After the lovely dinner, you gather once again at the living room but this time, Tito Joe surprises everyone with an impromptu performance. Ready as always, he starts to belt out his iconic “Christmas in our Hearts” song. While Tito Joe is singing, a Portable Microphone is passed around the room, giving others a chance to sing along with him. As everyone joins in, your heart feels a sense of warmth and joy, as the room gets filled with song and laughter. 

    Finally, you’re back at the spot you were earlier, snuggled by the warm knitted blanket.

To complete the Christmas experience, the coffee is in a cute Christmas-themed Coffee Mug, capping the night of holiday glee and fun.

    Family bonding made awesome at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.

    This Christmas, Filipino families can finally go out of their homes after two years of pandemic lockdown to enjoy and be amazed at the world-famous Super American Circus, coming to the Philippines on December 21, 2022 until January 8, 2023, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Newport World Resorts in Pasay City.

    Families will be in for a marvelous two-hour treat with what is dubbed as the biggest ensemble of live one-ring circus today. The Super American Circus puts together an incredible array of performers whose acts earned standing ovations all over the world. Some of them were winners of the prestigious world-class talent search America’s Got Talent.

    The Super American Circus is a modern one-ring circus that will showcase acts that will excite and delight Filipino family members and barkadas of all ages. Witness thrilling acts like the motorcycle team in the Globe of Danger, the amazing Sky Wheel, the High Flying Motorcycle, life challenging aerialists, beautiful aerial ballerinas, and amazing jugglers that will happily keep you hanging on the edge of your seats.

    The Super American Circus is produced by Global Entertainment Productions. Its President and CEO Mr. Cornell “Tuffy” Nicholas is also the show’s ringmaster. “Tuffy” comes from a family with extensive circus history. His father “Count Nicholas” was the lead Ringmaster extraordinaire of the traveling Ringling Brothers circus. Tuffy was actually born on the Sarasota stop of the Ringling Brothers Traveling Circus. The Nicholas’s raised their three children on-the-road and Tuffy grew up amongst some of the world’s most famous performers and celebrities. Under the careful eye of the Count, he became a great performer mastering a variety of different acts and skills. He made his first appearance as an honorary ringmaster on a main-street float alongside his proud father at the ripe old age of 3.

    For more than 35 years now, Mr. Nicholas has been a successful producer and promoter of circuses, concerts, festivals and sporting events around the world. As president and CEO since 2000, he has produced over 5,000 performances around the World – Moscow State Circus, Modern American Circus, International All-Star Circus are just a few of Mr. Nicholas’s productions. In 2005 he produced Cirque Hawaii, a multi-million-dollar, state of the art, permanent theatrical spectacular, that showcased the award-winning talent of over 35 performers from around the world and thrilled Hawaiian audiences.

    An incredible show like Super American Circus deserves an equally incredible venue.

The Newport Performing Arts Theater also earned the distinction of being BroadwayWorld Philippines’ Best Theatrical Venue for 2011, and was one of the top six contenders in the Leisure and Entertainment class of the Asia Pacific Interior Design Awards.

    The Super American Circus production in the Philippines is made possible in partnership with Newport World Resorts and SGE Productions.

  • OMF partners with more groups to expand One For Trees program

    OMF partners with more groups to expand One For Trees program

    One Meralco Foundation (OMF) has teamed up with more organizations to further its sustainable reforestation program aimed at contributing to environment preservation and improvement of the lives of more Philippine communities.

    The social development arm of Meralco signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Butuan City Water District (BCWD), Fostering Education and Environmental Development (FEED), and Participatory Research Organization of Communities and Education towards Struggle for Self-Reliance of Bohol (PROCESS Bohol) for the One For Trees (OFT) program.

    Under the OFT program, OMF provides funding for reforestation activities such as establishment of nurseries, planting of seedlings during the appropriate season, and continued monitoring of the trees planted. OMF plans to nurture and protect at least 5 million trees by 2025, while providing sustainable livelihood to communities around conservation sites.

    The new partnerships will expand the reach of the program to the provinces of Agusan del Norte; Laguna; and parts of Bohol. The new OFT partners have identified specific targets to help their respective communities.

    For BCWD, from the province of Agusan del Norte will plant 48,000 trees in the Taguibo Watershed to sustain the forest reserve in the watershed enabling quality water supply for the people of Butuan City.

    FEED, on the other hand, targets to plant 100,000 trees in the Laguna-Quezon Land Grant site in Siniloan, Laguna which is planned to be developed as a major biodiversity hub in the Sierra Madre mountain range.

    Meanwhile, PROCESS Bohol will rehabilitate upland and coastal forest patches damaged by the rampage of Typhoon Odette in Anda, Pilar, Ubay, Candijay, Mabini, and Carlos P. Garcia in Bohol. Through OFT, PROCESS Bohol plans to nurture 100,000 trees of which 50,000 are mangroves.

    For OMF, with the help of these organizations, OFT can deliver a sustainable solution to the environmental and economic needs of the marginal communities.

    The OFT is a long-term commitment to the environment and to the people, which is anchored on sustaining partnerships with Civil Society Organizations, Local Government Units and communities – a pledge to collectively work for climate action.

    “Some may see our efforts as a mere tree-planting, tree-growing, or tree-nurturing with a very high survival rate target. Yes, we require those. But more importantly, One For Trees also invests at building the capacities and improving the economic welfare and social well-being of the people who maintain these trees and ensures that the same trees will also benefit their own families and communities.” said Meralco Chief CSR Officer and OMF President Jeffrey O. Tarayao.

    “Most of the work we will put into the vision of One For Trees requires waiting for so long, that only our children’s children will reap the fruit of these labors. May we all be patient and sometimes, impatient, so that the One For Trees program will flourish long after we have planted the seeds of our work,” added Tarayao.

    (From L-R) FEED Director for Partnerships Anne Marie Bakker, BCWD General Manager Anselmo Sang Tian, OMF President Jeffrey O. Tarayao, and PROCESS Bohol Executive Director Aurelio Salgados Jr. during the Memorandum of Agreement signing held last September 29, 2022.

    The recent signing forms part of the OFT kick-off activities for this year, which also includes community tree-planting and learning visit in the Green Earth Heritage Farm OFT site located in San Miguel, Bulacan. These activities aimed at improving reforestation practices by learning from the partners’ experiences and getting more support from other stakeholders for the initiative.

  • Round One platform officially goes live

    Round One platform officially goes live

    PASAY, PHILIPPINES — Round One, the country’s first equity crowdfunding platform, was officially launched on Wednesday, October 12, at the Solaire Resort and Casino Manila.

    Conceptualization of the platform began at the end of 2019, following the release of the crowdfunding rules and regulations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a few months prior. Round One was accordingly granted its license to operate on February 23 of this year.

    Through the platform, entrepreneurs looking to raise funds can launch campaigns of up to Php 50 million pesos per year via the public sale of securities. Round One conducts high level due diligence on both entrepreneurs (also known as “issuers”) and investors on the platform. To ensure transparency, issuers are required to upload investment offering materials and indicate the complete details of their fundraising goal (such as the share price) and terms of the securities being offered.

    On the other hand, only registered and verified investors may commit to campaigns. All monetary transactions are safekept by Round One’s partner banks and financial institutions through the duration of a campaign to ensure the proper handling of investor cash.

    “Round One shall provide a good holistic solution for entrepreneurs not just as a fundraising avenue, but also in attracting experts from all sectors to mentor them to grow and improve.” said Ms. Marian Peña, Chairman and President of Eastern Securities Development Corporation (ESDC), the stock brokerage that manages and operates Round One.

    Also in attendance were SEC Director Vicente Graciano P. Felizmenio, Jr. of the Markets and Securities Regulation Dept.; Ms. Alegria Limjoco, Founder and Chairperson of the Philippine Franchise Association; Atty. Marion Ivy Decena, Director of the DOST-Technology Application and Promotion Institute; Mr. Pierangelo A. Dominguez, Head of the Quezon City Local Economic Investment Promotions Office; and various members of startup and SME enablers, private equity investors, entrepreneurs, and association and institution partners.

    Among Round One’s first cohort of committed issuers are Alaga Health Inc., Burket.PH Inc., Cocotel International Inc., IOL Inc., LGUSuite Inc., Raven Global Inc., Filipay (Service Economy Applications Inc.), Tipaklong Sustainable Mobility Corp., and UNAWA. The cohort was presented during the launch through a panel discussion, where they discussed their forthcoming fundraising campaigns on the platform and engaged the audience’s questions.

    “Our goal as a platform is quite simple: for Round One be an avenue for every entrepreneur, startup, and SME to access every kind of support they need on their journey,” shared Mr. Brandon Leong, Business Unit Lead of Round One. “We’re excited to officially go live so that all these issuers can finally launch their campaigns and get themselves out there.”

    Round One is a business unit of Eastern Securities Development Corporation (ESDC), a duly registered stock brokerage and a member of the Philippine Stock Exchange since 1977. Regulated by the SEC, the platform serves as a financial intermediary between startups and SMEs and potential investors.

    Round One is on a mission to empower Filipinos to invest in each other. To learn more, visit www.roundone.ph.

  • Discover how these inspiring local CEOs built their fab business on Shopee

    Discover how these inspiring local CEOs built their fab business on Shopee

    Founders of Pinoy beauty brands Jenna Essence and ISHIN talk about their entrepreneurial journey and what they’re offering beauty and skincare enthusiasts at the Beauty Budol Sale on Shopee this October 23 to 25.

    MANILA, OCTOBER 21, 2022 –  Starting your own business is no easy task– more so when this business is focused on beauty and health products. Not only do you need to have a keen eye on what’s trending, you also need to ensure that your items are effective and safe for your customers, and that ultimately builds a loyal community that keeps on using your products. Learn how two proudly local beauty brands Jenna Essence and ISHIN built their business and made waves among Filipinos in the last few years.

    Jenna Reyes, the hardworking She-EO of Jenna Essence

    Jenna had humble beginnings before starting Jenna Essence. Her entrepreneurial experience began at an early age as a “Batang Quiapo”, with her younger years spent helping out her grandma sell trinkets in front of Quiapo church. Growing up, Jenna was known among her peers as strong and hardworking, as she juggled different jobs to make ends meet for her family. She began to sell beauty products on a whim to supplement their household income, not knowing this would turn her life around.

    Jenna was encouraged by her suppliers to start her own beauty brand when they saw her determination to sell their products on social media and through word-of-mouth. After testing the market with a few products, she finally hit her stride with the trending Cocoberry Beauty Essentials. Her business flourished even more when she partnered with Shopee to bring her distributors on the platform. Today, Jenna Essence has expanded to 500 resellers nationwide.

    The true beauty of Jenna does not lie in her products, but in the way she runs her business with a strong sense of purpose. “For me, ang business ko ay hindi lang para sa akin, ito din ay para sa mga kapwa ko na gustong makagaan sa buhay [the business is not just for me, it’s also for those who want to have a better life], ” says Jenna.

    Beauty enthusiasts can check out Jenna’s Cocoberry Soap at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale. Made from coconut oil, this soap has positive reviews on its effectiveness to moisturize dry skin, sweet scent on use and smooth texture that’s easy on the skin.  This unique soap helps soften and remove dead skin cells to make your skin look fresh and glowing.

    Check out more of Jenna Essence’s beauty essentials on Shopee this Beauty Budol Sale and get up to 25% off on top products. 

    Shirleen and Miguel Bautista, the power couple of ISHIN

    Shirleen and Miguel did what most of us aspire to– they chased their dreams and followed through. Despite both working high-level corporate jobs, they still felt that they could do something more. Both had an affinity for entrepreneurship and knew that this was the path for them.

    By chance, the couple came across a hot selling ointment among locals in one of their trips abroad and thought of selling it in the country. With this item, they became successful distributors in the country and gained international recognition that brought them in talks with a Japanese manufacturer who shared its formula which became the birth of ISHIN. By placing their products on Shopee, Shirleen and Miguel made the most of the benefits of the app such as its wide user base and monthly campaigns.

    ISHIN became a popular brand among Filipinos who aimed for a healthy and glowing complexion with its unique glutathione formula. For Shirleen and Miguel, their brand goes beyond giving Filipinos premium yet affordable beauty products. “We consider ISHIN to be a heart-based business, not just because of the reasonable prices we have but also how we want our success to pass to our distributors as well,” says Shirleen.

    Shoppers who feel inclined to support local businesses with a heart can check out ISHIN at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale and get the ISHIN Advanced White. This item is made from a Japanese-tested formula with a unique blend of pearl powder, glutathione, NAC, and collagen that nourishes your skin for a healthy look. Users can also get premium glutathione at up to 20% off and up to 25% off flash deals on ISHIN products when they shop at the Beauty Budol Sale. From October 23 – 25, shoppers can enjoy up to 90% off and limited-time deals on health and beauty products from local beauty brands such as Jenna Essence, ISHIN and more, only at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale. Click here to know more.

    In my opinion, local businesses will continue their operations in the community with their quality products & services they sell or cater to their customers or shoppers. Shoppers will continue to buy their goods and their company’s growth in sales will continue to increase, too.
