OPM icon and PLDT HOME Ambassador Regine Velasquez is coming to Davao to perform live via the widely popular Regine Concert Series.

Powered by PLDT HOME, the musical extravaganza is a show of gratitude from the country’s number one digital and multimedia services provider for the massive support throughout the years.

The concert series, which was extended for a second year due to its unstoppable success, aims to help promote the titular Regine Telset Series—a set of limited edition landline phones available for only P99 per month—launched last year to great acclaim, with stocks running out fast as soon as it was made available to the public.

Its initial kickoff last April 10 at SM Bacoor in Cavite was followed by another full house gig at SM City Pampanga. From one jam-packed mall to another and in response to insistent public demand, the Regine Concert Series is finally on its way to the Queen City of the South on July 30 for its much-awaited VisMin debut.

The Cebu leg will feature a 10-piece band helmed by award-winning musical director Raul Mitra, with a special performance by Your Face Sounds Familiar first runner-up Michael Pangilinan.

PLDT VP and Home Marketing Director Gary Dujali said, “The Regine Telsets, when bundled with PLDT HOME DSL, form the foundation of a digitally connected and smart home. PLDT HOME has been making it big in the hearts of Cebuano families, and we look forward to helping them forge the strongest connections with their families through powerful connections and world-class music.”



After Cebu, the Regine Concert Series will then be scheduled for a Davao stopover onAugust 6 at SM Ecoland. Fans will be in for a free world-class musical treat as Regine performs her well-loved hits.

About Starbucks Philippines

December 4, 1997, the Philippines had its first taste of the Starbucks Experience with its very first branch at the 6750 Ayala Building in Makati City. Starbucks has since won the hearts of the Filipinos. The opening of the 6750 Ayala store marked an important milestone in our history – the Philippines became the third market to open outside North America. The tradition of warm hospitality, constant need for connection, and love for coffee – these are the qualities that make Starbucks Coffee and the Filipino people a great culture fit.

MANGO proudly opened its third Megastore in the Philippines at the Ground Floor of Abreeza Mall last June 2, 2016. The Megastore has an 817.45 square meter area and brought together its menswear line, MANGO Man, and its children's line, MANGO Kids in one space.


To celebrate the launch of the megastore, MANGO invited Tricia Gosingtian, one of the biggest names in the country’s fashion blogging community and one of my inspirations in blogging, to share her styling tips and meet her Davao-based readers and followers. The event was held inside the MANGO Megastore last June 11 as a special edition of the Abreeza Fashion Forum.

For those who don't know Tricia yet, she is one of the pioneers in fashion, lifestyle, and travel blogging in the Philippines. Her blog, Tricia Will Go Places (www.triciagosingtian.com) started seven years ago. She's pretty famous in social media with more than 500 thousand followers in total. She also wrote a bestselling book titled 150 Style Essentials for Every Girl in 2013.

Tricia shared her personal styling tips not just for women but for men as well. She described her style as "sophisti-cute" and talked about balance, color, layering, and accessorizing.


She also answered some questions from the media and her followers after her presentation.



Tricia then had a quick meet and greet with her Davao-based followers. I made sure I did not go "fanboying" when I had chances to take photos with her. Yes... CHANCES. I took a lot of photos with her and I even had a chit chat with her and her fiance RG. It was a surreal moment. Haha!

I still believe I have a chance to have a fairer and whiter skin. So I tried a lot of whitening products and soaps in the market today to give me that little boost of confidence. I've been using different whitening soaps but it damages my skin instead of having a clear and white skin. Maybe because of the different ingredients and chemicals that are not suitable for my skin type.

I'm glad that My Skin Origins launched their newest soap, the My Skin Origins Organics Kojic Plus Beauty Bar.


Since My Skin Origins is an advocate of beauty, health, and wellness via natural means, their newest beauty bar also contains organic ingredients. It has virgin coconut oil, kojic acid, glutathione, and Vitamin C. It will exfoliate your dead skin the natural way making your skin glowing and healthy.

To apply, lather it on your skin and let it stay for 2 mins and then rinse it off with water. It is less stingy because of its organic ingredients. So I did not have any skin lesions or allergic reactions when using the Kojic Plus soap.

The Organics Kojic Plus Beauty Bar is now available at all Gaisano Grand Supermarket at Ilustre, Digos, Kidapawan, Panabo, and Tagum City for a very affordable price of P68.

They also have a lot of other beauty bars for different skin types. You can visit My Skin Origins Beauty Clinic to know what soaps are good for your skin type. They are located at Door 2, #93 Jacinto Street, Davao City.



Thanks to My Skin Origins owners, Ms. Jennifer Rubia-Echano and Mr. Alan Echano for inviting us at the Organics Kojic Plus Beauty Bar launch at Happy Fit.
