 Hey, momshies, dadshies, and all! It's our guessing time again! Have you heard about this mysterious person driving around the city in a white Escalade using a number 7 plate? If you're familiar with the government plate numbers this number 7 is for Senator's vehicles only. So, this hot topic has been the talk of the town lately, and we have a bit of a story from our sources.

Accordingly, there are rumors that this Escalade owner may not be who they say they are, with some even speculating that they are a fake Pinoy. Apparently, there's also a pending case regarding their citizenship, but who knows if that's true or not.

What's more concerning is their reckless behavior on the road, especially when it comes to using the bus lane on EDSA. Despite the potential dangers and consequences, this Escalade driver seems to have no regard for traffic rules and regulations, causing a headache for both commuters and authorities. Do they really cause such ache in the head?

So, who is this mysterious Escalade owner, and what's their motive behind all of this? Allegedly, some say it's a show of power, while others believe it's a way to flaunt their authority. Whatever the reason may be, this enigmatic figure on the road has definitely piqued everyone's curiosity. Even I got curious too!

But until we get more information, all we can do is speculate and make wild guesses. Who knows, maybe one day we'll finally uncover the truth behind this Escalade owner's identity and their antics on the road. Until then, let's just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

(L to R) Jesus Manapat - National Bureau of Investigation, Stephen Floyd Abuso Gopez – Executive Vice president - Association of law students of the Philippines, Atty. Rowel Barba - Director - Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, Dean Lilibeth Aragon - President - association of administrators in Hospitality, hotel and restaurant management educational institution and Atty. Dominador Buhain - Chairman Rex Education

Rex Education hosted a press conference recently, bringing together key organizations committed to educating people about piracy and stopping the illegal reproduction and distribution of copyrighted content.

Present at the event were leaders and representatives from the Philippine Association of Law Schools, the Association of Law Students of the Philippines, , the Legal Education Board, the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, the National Book Development Board, the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations of the Philippines, the National Bureau of Investigation, Association of Administrators in Hospitality Hotel and Restaurant Management Educational Institution, the Philippine Librarians Association, the Philippine Council of Deans and Educators in Business, the Philippine Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, Philippine Association for Teachers and Educators, Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines, Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities and the Philippine Educational Measurement and Evaluation Association.

Piracy is defined as the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted content, including but not limited to books, movies, music, and the like. In the Philippines, anti-piracy legislation is strengthened by Republic Act 8293 or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines that protects and secures the exclusive rights of scientists, inventors, artists and other gifted citizens to their intellectual property and creations.

The press conference is a part of REX’s anti-piracy campaign, which was launched last September 16, 2022 at the Manila International Book Fair. The primary objective of the campaign is to curb, if not eradicate, content piracy by educating, communicating, and instilling among our colleagues, families, and children a true appreciation of the value of one’s own work. REX’s efforts in this direction are also in recognition and support of the relentless hard work of intellectual property law enforcement agencies in the country.

“We should continue to educate, communicate, and instill among our colleagues, families, and children a true appreciation of the value of one’s own work. In this sense, we are all duty-bearers. But above that, we are Filipinos,” said Atty. Dominador Buhain, chairman of Rex Education. “ Aside from our laws, what also binds us are our values, our sense of pakikipagkapwa, of pagpapakatao, our pride in our own work, and our respect for each other and of each other’s work.”

Over the past year, the campaign has gained the attention of various organizations with similar sentiments. Stakeholders from the education sector, along with consumers and learners, have all come together to express their support for the movement. Above all, there is a call to protect creators and all their intellectual property in all its forms. “Throughout our rich history, we recognize and respect one truth about what we do: We are able to accomplish so much because of our people. REX has immense pride for the talented and hardworking individuals who pour their creativity, knowledge, and skills in the development of our learning materials, and these are not limited to books,” said Atty. Dominador Buhain, chairman of Rex Education.

Henry & Sons, the leading supplier of premium coffee products and services in the country, continues its mission to bring the local coffee industry to the international spotlight with their commitment to providing premium and quality education to aspiring baristas.

“With the rising demand for specialty coffee in the ever-growing coffee market, Henry & Sons is determined to provide aspiring baristas with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed,” said Michael Harris Conlin, Henry & Sons president and CEO.

Conlin said the company recently signed a memorandum of agreement with the National University Laguna to establish the Global Coffee School (GCS) in Calamba City.

GCS courses are recognized and offered in over 40 cities worldwide. The company provides comprehensive educational courses to equip aspiring baristas with the necessary skills and knowledge to create the best coffee products.

Courses include instruction on brewing methods and techniques, the science of coffee production, and different types of coffee drinks. Baristas will also be given hands-on experience with the most up-to-date coffee equipment, enabling them to develop their skills and gain the confidence needed to become top coffee professionals.

Conlin, a former Philippine National Barista Champion and semi-finalist in the World Barista Championship, said the collaboration aims to elevate Laguna Liberica to a global coffee brand and teach aspiring baristas in Laguna the skills they need to become sought-after in the coffee industry.

Last year, Conlin represented Laguna’s Liberica and Benguet’s Arabica at the Global Coffee Championship in Korea. Laguna’s Liberica won silver in the latte competition, while Benguet’s Arabica bagged bronze in the brewer competition.

According to experts, the Philippine coffee industry is expected to generate $6.3 billion this year or P345 billion.

Conlin, however, said 97% of the coffee in the country is imported.

“Our local coffee farmers do not benefit from the billions of revenue generated by the coffee industry. If this continues, Philippine-grown coffee is at risk of extinction. This is a loss not only for our economy but also for our culture and heritage,” he said.

Conlin noted that the program aims to help Mabato coffee farmers introduce their products to the international market and provide stability and sustainability for their livelihoods.

He also encouraged people to buy coffee sourced from local farmers to support them.

Recently, Henry & Sons’ opened two new branches of The Giving Café (TGC) at the University of the Philippines Los Baños and SM Marikina.

TGC is part of the company’s social enterprise program established to support the Foundation for Sustainable Coffee Excellence (FSCE) in its drive to make the Philippines a major player in the global coffee industry through sustainable local coffee farming.

The FSCE has been supporting farms in La Trinidad, Benguet, for some years now to help and provide farmers and their families with essential needs such as irrigation, medicines, and educational assistance.

Opened in July 2017, Henry & Sons opened TGC to provide a haven for coffee lovers. The café serves comfort food, such as champorado, sopas, and arroz caldo, and Chinese dishes, including yang chow, Taiwanese fried chicken, and sweet and sour pork.

They say the easiest way to someone's heart is through the stomach. For many homemakers, especially moms, this is very much true the moment they step into the kitchen. One simply gets an unexplainable feeling when you put the time and effort into preparing something special for the people who matter to you the most. The same also goes, of course, if you’re at the receiving end of such a selfless effort.

While moms are real geniuses in the kitchen, however, there are also some down times when inspiration can run low. Fortunately, Jolly is here to curb that challenge for our home cooks. As the leading brand of packed fruit and vegetable products, Jolly brings convenience straight into our pantries by giving us easy access to fresh ingredients. The brand—which was born from the vision of empowering homemakers and unlocking their creative potential in the kitchen—has continuously enabled this by providing freshly packed fruits and vegetables straight into our pantries. This convenience, combined with the high quality of its products, has made Jolly a market leader in its industry and a top choice among home cooks.

To prove this, we had some moms take on the challenge of creating something special for their loved ones using some of Jolly’s best-sellers. Stephanie Lontoc of StefTheMomma shared one classic dish that never fails to impress her family—Creamy Beef with Mushrooms made with beef sirloin and her go-to Jolly Mushrooms and Jolly Cream of Mushroom Soup! It’s the perfect dish to make if you want to impress without spending too much time in the kitchen as it can only take thirty minutes to prep and cook! Watch her quick recipe here to cop it.

(video link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CnBwgh0J6gL/ )

Dyosa The Momma is another big fan of the tatak Jolly love. For her, she loves how she can still make healthy but also affordable dishes that never fail to be big hits for her family. One of her go-to recipes is Pork Picadillo which is perfect for all types of occasions . The dish is colorful, easy to make, and most of all, delicious and healthy. Go watch her recipe here

(video link: https://www.facebook.com/dyosathemomma/videos/1317862722317855)

For the recipe, she used Jolly Premium Sliced Mushrooms, Jolly Green Peas and Jolly Garbanzos to make sure that the dish is bursting with flavor and nutrition. More than the convenience and easy access to these ingredients, she also loves how Jolly makes everything easier for the budget.

“With a growing family, dapat mas mindful na tayo sa gastos. Kaya hindi dapat mahal ang delicious meals. Konting creativity lang, pwedeng i-level up ang delicious meal. Kapag nabibigay mo ang sarap at sustansya, yan ang Jolly Love.”

Versatility is also something that’s very important in the kitchen. Thankfully, with easy access to fresh ingredients, you will never run out of dishes to try. The Peach Kitchen proves this by creating her version of Ginataang Gulay using Jolly products . She shares, “Isa sa paraan natin ng pagpaparamdam ng pagmamahal natin sa pamilya natin ay ang pagluluto natin para sa kanila. Kaya naman as much as possible gusto natin na masarap at healthy ang hinahanda natin para sa kanila.”

Check out her recipe below: (video link: https://www.facebook.com/PeachKitchen/videos/1812729012435899/ )

Jolly is a brand that was created by a family for families. Since its conception, it knows that when it comes to expressing love, Filipino households use the language of food to make connections and express their emotions. Still the undisputed leading brand of freshly packed fruits, vegetables, and other pantry essentials, it continues to fulfill its promise of empowering home cooks by expanding their creativity in the kitchen through its wide range of products.

Layering pieces in soft, matte cotton and refreshing AIRism cotton meet airy utilitarian outerwear to create a complete range of versatile basics with often unexpected, always thoughtfully considered proportions. A playful yet elegant color palette combines understated neutrals and rich blues and beiges with bright pops of green, orange, yellow, purple, and pink.

Womenswear

Womenswear offers versatility; refined, seamless activewear is interchangeable between exercise and everyday life. Tailoring is soft and easy. A sheer shirt with patch pockets in matte-finish cotton is a fresh staple. The new jeans are slightly curved with a fitted leg to create a fresh silhouette.

Menswear

A complete range of versatile basics for a modern yet timeless look. Seersucker striped shirts and cotton shorts are cut wide for an easy summer silhouette. An oversized utility jacket is a new proportion for outerwear. The crew neck 3/4 sleeve T-shirt has been further perfected with a boxy fit. Parachute pants are utilitarian and effortless with adjustable drawstrings at the hem.

Accessories

BLOCKTECH hats and jet caps, and a new bucket bag in two sizes marry form and function, while the beloved drawstring shoulder bag returns for another season.

Stylings

Collection
The lineup includes 27 items for women, 23 items for men, and 7 items for accessories.

Following the success of the Eraserheads reunion concert last December, the DAY 2 of the upcoming Clark Aurora Music Festival has people rushing to buy tickets with Ely Buendia as its main headliner.

Festival organizers EP!C Events received such a strong demand for the mega line-up of the second day of said festival. They have been receiving “non-stop” inquiries, and as of this writing, tickets are said to be almost sold out because of the clamor for Ely’s headlining set, as well as OPM acts Parokya Ni Edgar, Kamikazee, Sponge Cola, Mayonnaise, and Silent Sanctuary.

It really came as a surprise for the organizers and thoroughly inspired them to make the Hot Air Balloon and Night Glow themed music festival as unforgettable and magnificent as possible this year. It also proves that the OPM scene is alive and well as the local music lovers keep on growing. Tickets went on sale last January 26, 2023.

Aurora Music Festival DAY 1 is 70% sold too! Hurry and get your tickets now.

As a busy mom, I rarely have time for myself, let alone any pampering sessions. But after a long and tiring week of running around for my family, I finally found the time to treat myself to a much-needed spa day at BlueWater Day Spa. And let me tell you, it was the best decision I've made in a while.

Recently, BlueWater Day Spa has welcomed two new brand ambassadors to their team, which got me curious about their services. David Licauco, a businessman and GMA 7's "Pambansang Ginoo," shared how he looks forward to his favorite Balinese massage at BlueWater Day Spa after a hectic week. 

 Meanwhile, Miss World Philippines 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez swears by BlueWater Day Spa's Deep Tissue Massage and IPL Hair Removal service to help alleviate her chronic muscle tension.

Aside from these two celebrities, BlueWater Day Spa has also introduced other beauty queens as their endorsers. The addition of Miss World Philippines 2022 Gwendolyne Fourniol, Miss Supranational 2022 Alison Black, Miss Eco Philippines 2022 Ashley Subijano Montenegro, Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2022 Ingrid Santamaria, and Miss Eco Teen International 2022 1st runner-up Beatriz Mcleland is a testament to the high-quality services that BlueWater Day Spa offers.

 

The range of services that BlueWater Day Spa offers is extensive and caters to a variety of needs. From rejuvenating massages to facials and sculpting treatments that help maintain a toned physique, they have unique and niche massage services such as the Four Hand Massage, Therapeutic Colonic Massage, and Pregnancy Massage. I opted for the rejuvenating massage, and it was worth every penny.

BlueWater Day Spa has been helping Filipinos maintain their balanced state of well-being since 2005. With three branches located in Banawe, Quezon City, Eton Square - Ortigas in Greenhills, San Juan, and Estancia Mall in Pasig City, and soon to open at The Infinity Tower, BGC, there's a branch near you. Follow @bluewaterdayspaofficial on Instagram to know more about their services and stay updated with their latest offerings.

If you're looking for a much-needed break from your daily routine, I highly recommend you visit BlueWater Day Spa. Trust me, it's the perfect place to unwind, relax, and recharge your mind and body.
