Joe Jonas Heats Up Manila

Hollywood heartthrob Joe Jonas arrived in Manila last May 22 as the newest international endorser for Philippine clothing brand Bench. Joe joins the ranks of international celebrities Bruno Mars, David Archuleta, Michael Trevino and Lucy Hale who are also members of the Bench family. Popularly known as the lead vocalist of pop-rock band the Jonas Brothers, Joe also starred in the hit Disney movie "Camp Rock" and reality shows "Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream" and "JONAS". Late last year, Joe shed his teen image and transformed into a mature solo artist with the debut of his album Fastlife. The album was inspired by coming of age, enjoying new things in life and learning to take risks.

One of the first things that Joe did when he arrived in Manila was shop at the Bench store in Glorietta 5. He loved the shirts and accessories and personally hand picked items that he'd like to wear. A huge crowd of fans gathered outside the store to get a glimpse of the star. Armed with cameras and creative signages sporting love messages; they cheered for Joe who warmly waved while flashing his signature killer smile.

When asked about how he felt about being a member of the Bench family Joe Jonas said "It's been great and the people from Bench have been very kind and warm." He proudly said that among his favorites were the brand's shirts and polos. To a question on how many marriage proposals he's gotten so far, he blushed and said that if he accepted them all he'd be married a lot of times. The press conference ended with a meet and greet where members of the press and lucky fans were able to have their photo taken with Joe.

Fans were in for a treat as Joe spent the remainder of his stay in the Philippines by visiting Bench stores in Glorietta 5, TriNoma and Cebu in line with his mall tour arranged by the Ayala Malls.

Requesting A Deeper Sense of Understanding

Some years ago, character actress (CA) was diagnosed with severe depression. It was so that she had to rest temporarily from her commitments. Depression seemed to be farthest from the time she began her career. CA was launched as a teenage entertainer and within a short time, she became part of one of the most successful love teams in the industry. However, her beginnings came with controversy. Her schoolmates could not believe that she was being passed off as a 16-year old, while they were all in their early twenties. Nonetheless, the public and her fans didn't care because CA evolved from being a sing-and-dance star to one serious enough to portray daring roles. Soon, the industry discovered she could really act. And in no time, CA started getting meaty roles in substantial movies and telenovelas.

But the circumstances in her family life contributed to her depression. When she got married, her earnest desire was to have a child as soon as possible. However, she and her husband had to wait really long for the conception, then when it became positive for the first time, it had to be extinguished because of a miscarriage. Months after she lost the baby, she was seen with two dolls. Some people speculated she has gone over the edge because she was treating the dolls like real babies. They had names, and she would bring them along wherever she was. Still, others sympathized with her and respected her choice of coping in that manner. A year later, CA got pregnant and gave birth. Everyone was happy because finally she and her husband's earnest desire was granted. Sadly, the baby boy lived only a few days and died after. CA tried to cope with the worst situation she could ever have. She rested and decided that their lives had to go on.

That was almost seven years ago. Fast forward to recent months, CA portrayed a major character in a hit telenovela, and critics and viewers noticed the depth in her portrayal. At the onset of the series, CA would always be on time for her tapings, and would send home-cooked meals to the set. The crew appreciated the professionalism of CA. But again, her friends began to fear for her, that CA might be showing signs of depression again.

A few weeks ago, word came out that her character would be killed in the series. This news surprised several people because the series was to last until the third quarter of this year. The reason for her having to bow out of her series was her becoming sickly of late, which CA confirmed later in media. What was unsaid was that CA had been having difficulty in her lines, and was taking three to four takes per scene. Lately, the crew noticed CA was tagging her doll along and talking to it every so often. CA would even sing lullabies to and change the diapers of the baby. This was the very pattern she showed when she had her first miscarriage.

At this point, CA needs understanding. Other than links to her past trauma, no one knows for sure what is triggering her bouts with her latest depression.

Can you identify who CA is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Just a Possible Reconciliation

Image Courtesy of www.mingle2.com

While statuesque beauty (SB) gave left and right interviews regarding her recent break up, her ex-boyfriend (XF) kept quiet and did not say any word. XF was once again criticized for how easily he breaks up with a flame. Sometime in the past, a talented performer (TP) got the shock of her life when she was asked how she felt about her break up with XF. TP was surprised because at that moment, she thought she and XF were still together. XF had not even said anything to her. Then, she had to learn it the hard way, via a question from a reporter. Hence, people were not surprised when SB said it was over between her and XF. Half the reports blamed the break up on how allegedly domineering SB was and how the family of XF did not like her at all.

However, while people were glued to their TV sets during the Pacquiao and Bradley fight, SB was in the comforts of XF’s home enjoying the fight. SB spent the whole day with the family of XF. According to sources, SB and XF seem to be closer again. People who know of this new development smell the reconciliation is in the offing. Hopefully, they are right. Everyone loves a happy ending, especially in the case of this odd couple.

Can you identify who SB, TP and XF are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Appalling and Quaint Move of the Singer

Image courtesy of www.gigaom.com

During the US Tour of a group of singers, the audience was appalled at the behavior of audacious singer (AS). The concert consisted of winners from the talent shows of the network, and most of the Filipinos in the audience watched these talents evolve from shy contestants into the celebrities that they are now. AS was discovered in a singing contest. The network developed her from a copycat of a semi-retired belter (SB), who is still a concert queen in her own right, to one of the next important singers of the country. In fact, the network even gambled on her, and the risk paid off as her first movie ran in cinemas for three weeks.

The audience had a wonderful time watching the performances of the grand winners of the academy (S1) and the talent contest (S2 and S3). The performers sang oldies but goodies, R&B, jukebox hits, etc. Then came the turn of AS. She told the audience that if her network had an advocacy for the welfare of the child, her advocacy was for the building of her house. The parallelism was funny at first. Then, AS produced containers and passed them around. She asked the audience for small bills. Of course, the people were shocked at such display of bad taste. After her singing, AS followed up on the containers, and the viewers soon realized she was serious. The crowd was dismayed because they paid good money to watch the talents perform in their city, and the ill manner of AS ruined the show.

Since the talents were on tour, did AS ask money in each of their concert venues? Does her network know and tolerate her actions? Indeed, her behavior creates a bad impression of her network. Does her act imply that she is not properly compensated by the network? What makes it worse is that AS showed her seeming lack of decorum while on performance abroad.

Can you identify who AS is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Young Performer Short-Changed by Management

Image courtesy of www.gbcdecatur.org

This young performer (YP) grew up performing before the public. From innocent lass, who merely wanted to win in a contest, YP is now one of the most sought after singers in the country. In fact, YP even has non-Filipino fans abroad. As a performer, YP can fill up a venue because the audience knows she can deliver. She has proven her impact, both in the movies and endorsements. Amidst all her achievements, YP has remained simple in her ways, her attitude, and her views. Despite the wealth, she keeps a very low profile and hardly flaunts her possessions.

By a twist of fate, someone close (SC) to YP got wind of information that YP is actually being short-changed in her talent fees. For example, the talent fee of YP as stipulated in her contract is allegedly much higher than the payment she's been getting. Thus, if for an endorsement, YP receives around 5M, the real contract says it's 10M. However, the real contract with the real figures is never shown to YP. Another contract that states a lesser amount is the one that is shown to YP, and signed in public. SC discovered the possible anomaly when she got to talk to an insider of a production (IP). When the fee of YP cropped up, SC was surprised at the huge discrepancy in the figures.

Of course, SC wanted to act immediately on the injustice but it placed SC in a dilemma. If SC starts claiming that the contracts are rigged, then the career of YP might be ruined by an orchestrated barrage of negative publicity. After all, the one in charge of paying YP has the machinery to make or break any career. Another sad thing is that the company of IP fears that once it questions the existence of two contracts, some of its talents might be pulled out., and these talents are the prized performers of the company.

Now, will SC assert what is due YP? Will they just keep quiet and not dare rock the boat?

Amplifying the Cinema Appearance

Image courtesy of www.article.wn.com

Versatile performer (VP) surprised everyone when she gave word she was going on a month-long break. Speculations cropped up regarding her status. First, people thought she was pregnant. Second, she was getting married abroad. Third, VP was merely tired and needed a break to rejuvenate. Fourth, she was becoming uncomfortable in her daily show and wanted space. A few days after her announcement, a twit circulated that VP was going to do a movie abroad. Confirmation came a few more days later.

The home studio of VP is currently playing up the story that she will be doing a movie in the United States, in no less than Hollywood itself. Hollywood connotes someone has gone big time in his/her career. Hence, this piece of news is a big deal in the career of VP. However, the movie she will be doing has low budget, and the film is an independent one. Her management cannot help but smile at the effort of the network in exaggerating the appearance of VP.

Incidentally, VP even surprised her own management with this Hollywood film assignment. She just showed her plane ticket. Eventually, her management allowed her to leave because the bosses felt that if they did not allow, VP might refuse to work. After all, VP is the hottest talent of her management these days and they cannot afford to lose her.

Can you identify who VP is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Embittered Behavior of the Diva

Image courtesy of www.goodreads.com

When the heavyset diva (HD) agreed to join a low budget musical, the production was elated because someone of HD’s calibre can add value to the show. Although HD does not have as many fans, she is a well-respected performer, and certainly can bring in an audience. But unfortunately, the production people were disappointed at the attitude of HD. They felt that HD should not be as demanding as she knew from the start that the production was running on a limited budget. The other performers who had international exposure did not show any qualms unlike HD.

First, HD complained about how she did not like the food served to them. Wanting to please her, the staff bought her food. When the food was served, HD said she already had someone buy the food she liked. Second, the stage manager got peeved when the road manager of HD insisted on implementing their own stage direction. The SM instructed her to enter at stage right but the RM said HD preferred entering from the left side. Then, HD asked why she was made to wait in the wings. It was explained to her that the performer on stage still had a couple of songs left before her turn. Third, the RM and HD insisted they handle their own playback. The crew could not argue and gave in to their request. HD went onstage and sang but the playback was wrong. Finally, HD left even before the finale number without saying goodbye to the production team.

These incidents earned HD a new monicker among the production, “balyenang mal-edukada,” which fits her whale-sized attitude.

Can you identify who HD is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Joy, Love, and Care Amidst Pain

Image courtesy of www.art.com

Neighbors are wondering why of late, an unfamiliar car seems to be frequently seen in front of the home of a versatile actor (VA). Sometimes, the car would be parked overnight or  even longer. VA’s  neighbors could not help but admire his beautiful home. But of course, hoping for the chance to see VA as well when they pass by. But the presence of the car stirred more curiosity. One day, someone chanced upon beguiled actress (BA) stepping out of the car. BA is just recovering from a public breakup from sporty personality (SP). Stories about their break up pinpointed to several people as possible third parties, including VA.

Usually, when showbiz parties break up, neither one would say something to the press. In some cases, one party will say something negative against the other. In the case of SP and BA, he would always come to BA’s defense or say something positive whenever stories linking her to VA come out. SP would always have a reaction when it comes to BA even until now. Yet, BA would just keep quiet. How true is it that a stipulation in SP’s contract states that he should remain single and must never admit to any serious relationship? Was this the condition that caused a major fight between BA and SP? To put it bluntly, did SP opt for money over their long-term relationship. Will the money SP will be earning for the next few years and career opportunities awaiting him worthy of sacrificing the love of BA?

Feeling hurt and beguiled, BA found comfort in the arms of VA, who just happened to be there. Sensing how caring and supportive he was for her, BA quickly fell in love with VA. Now, BA and VA are happy together although there is no public admission yet (perhaps, when their movie is shown, then the public will find out).

Shop in Style with Bench Bdo Mastercard

Celebrities, bloggers, and the who’s who of the retail industry all gathered at Salon de Ning at The Peninsula Manila last April 25, to witness the launch of a great new addition to their shopping experience: Bench MasterCard.

To commemorate Bench’s 25th anniversary, the label has teamed up with banking industry leader BDO, for a card that ensures the best deals and reliability of service. The draw of such a milestone was so great, in fact, that it brought together shoppers and Bench enthusiasts from all parts of the spectrum—including endorsers Isabelle Daza and Dingdong Dantes, even fashion fans and bloggers who know how to spot a great deal when they see it. Guests had the chance to win Bench gift certificates and watches. That night, VIPs have received their Bench MasterCard- a great treat, in line with its ability to make one look good and shop smart, all while availing of the latest deals at their favorite shopping destination, Bench.

This marks, of course, another first in Bench’s illustrious history. A true pioneer, Bench was the first company to promote the concept of celebrity endorsers and image models, first hiring young actor Richard Gomez as an image model in 1988. His turn as a rower in Bench’s “A Day In A Sculler’s Life” TV commercial created in 1991 by Ricky Toledo and Chito Vijandre, won the label several awards at the Philippine Advertising Congress. Today, the roster of image models has expanded to include both celebrities and prominent personalities both locally and globally. As proof of its global reach, Bench has expanded with outposts in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia, Shanghai, China; Kuwait; Daly City, San Francisco; Los Angeles; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Bahrain; Guangzhou, Xian, and Dubai. And in 1997, Bench pioneered the first underwear show in the Philippines. This position as a leader and trendsetter continues today with the launch of the Bench BDO MasterCard.

With its complete array of industry-leading products and services catering to the retail and corporate markets, BDO comes in as the perfect partner, being a full-service bank that offers lending (corporate, middle market, SME, and consumer), deposit-taking, foreign exchange, brokering, trust and investments, credit cards, corporate cash management, and remittances. The bank also has one of the largest distribution networks with over 700 branch licenses and more than 1,400 ATMs nationwide. BDO issues the most brands in the country namely MasterCard, Visa, American Express, JCB and Union Pay, as well as tie-up cards like the Bench MasterCard. The bank likewise dominates the credit card merchant acquiring business in the Philippines with BDO POS terminals being the only terminals in the industry to accept the five credit card brands and BancNet, MegaLink, Expressnet cards as well.

Users earn double rewards points for purchases made at Bench/ Partner stores, priority access to selected sale events and special invites to selected exclusive events, an exclusive birthday treat, 0% installment options at 3 & 6 months, worldwide acceptance of the MasterCard brand, and exclusive discounts or freebies from Bench and its partner stores: Aldo, Aldo Accessories, CC-OO, Call it Spring, Celio, Charles and Keith, CPS, Dimensione, Early Learning Centre, The Face Shop, F&X, Human, Kashieca, La Senza, Lyn, Mothercare, Pedro, Patchi and Repetto- all great reasons to grab the Bench MasterCard today.

The Kiss Without a Heart

Her Actions are Materializing

Image courtesy of www.treehugger.com

Some months ago, veteran actress (VA) got fed up with the rantings and actions of feisty manager (FM). VA who is enjoying her quiet life, suddenly found herself in the limelight by retaliating against FM and other people. Later on, FM claimed that the anger of VA could have come from her alleged jealousy because FM was the lucky girl who happily ended up with the most desirable leading man of their time.

VA wanted to answer all of FM's allegations againt her which were all posted on her twitter account. VA felt helpless and wanted to fight FM on her own terms and venue - via twitter. Thus was born her own twitter account to the surprise of people who know her. VA's account was created exclusively for the purpose of nailing down FM- her ultimate and only nemesis by far. Thus VA and FM's fiery twitter war began. Both accounts are open to the public, thus gaining a big following amongst fellow users. VA made no bones about expressing her angst towards FM that reached its boiling point when FM did what to VA was unthinkable during a solemn family event. VA strongly castigated FM for all that she did that severely offended VA. She thus vowed to implement her plans concretely soon after her mourning period. True enough, a month later, VA filed a libel case against a family member of FM.

The recent development is that VA will file a case against FM herself. Surely, that was to be expected. However, what is shocking is that VA might also file a case against a female TV host (FH) who merely wrote an article about FM that touched on their rift. FH's only mistake was her failure to write about the side of VA on the issue. VA took it to mean that FH was taking sides - her opponent's side. She did not take the biased article lightly, thus she likewise sued FH. Will this development surprise FH? How many more people will VA sue? Will FM tame down her twits? As for the answers to these questions, we all have to wait.

The Governor of NV: Overturn Judges Decision Regarding Pacquiao - Bradley Bout

TO: Executive Director; Mr. Keith Kizer

       Chairman; Raymond “Skip” Avansino
       Nevada State Athletic Commission

Dear Sirs,

At this moment some, 20,000 boxing fans, with more signing this petition, have asked that the State of Nevada investigate the Manny Pacquiao -Timothy Bradley judges , the decision, and their scoring on Saturday. We seek to have the obviously flawed judging overturned and the fight declared a No Contest. We are also forwarding our petition to Governor Brian Sandoval, as well as Senator Harry Reid, asking that your office be investigated for displaying continued incompetence regarding the officiating, judging, and refereeing of boxing events in your state in the last year.

Besides the despicable ruling regarding the judges involved with Pacquiao – Bradley, we have had within a year, under your management the fiascoes of Brandon Rios – Richard Abril, Abner Mares-Joseph Agbeko, and yes, for some fans, even Pacquiao-Marquez III.

Whereas Las Vegas is the Mecca of Boxing, these instances of uncorrected errors that are ignored by NSAC offices, have set examples that have been followed by Khan -Peterson, Chisora-Helenius, Lara-Williams.

Though you are not responsible for the behavior of boxing elsewhere around the globe Nevada has positioned itself as the leader in the sport and miserably failed in that reign over the last year.

Rather than have an open an honest investigation into a bout that the majority of fans, media, and officials around the globe have asked you to facilitate, including the promoter of both fighters, Bob Arum /Top Rank, you have stated that there was not a need for one. The actual quote;

“I had Manny ahead, but that’s fine, all I can say is I think every judge should strive to get better. Every fighter who loses a close fight like that wants to look at the judges.”

With all due respect sirs, the judges appointed for an event of this magnitude should already have reached the point of better if not the very best the sport had to offer.

Sir, the world is watching your esteemed offices for leadership, fairness, and justice.

Fans of our great sport have had enough, and though we can’t correct last years errors, we have the opportunity to make changes in this one. We, the fans of boxing deserve better than what we received on June 9th.

Boxing fans demand more, more from our governing bodies, and more for our hard earned money, than simply felonious judging, and we will continue to seek signatures, continue to seek ways to increase our presence, until someone in the elected offices of your state, and at the WBO, takes the lead to restore respectability, fairness, and justice to boxing in Nevada, returning the title to its rightfully defended owner Manny Pacquiao.

Really? Grabe! Over!

According to buzzle.com, the innocent lipstick is made up of wax, oil, pigment, fragrances, alcohol, preservatives, lead, carmine, etc. Regardless of its ingredients, the lipstick is essential to making one more beautiful. For actresses, wearing lipstick allows them to create a certain image and to lighten up their faces.

In a press conference of the latest project of a former beauty queen turned host and actress (BQ), the reporters had a funny time as they witnessed how BQ kept her poise amidst a gross incident that happened earlier. BQ first relayed that she was going to play the role of the goddess of nature in her fantasy series. She revealed that co-starring with her would be a former boyfriend who is an actor turned director and host. Moreover, the series will have a former action star turned model (MA) joining them.

The reporters were disappointed that they could not ask BQ about her opinion regarding the issues thrown at her closest family member (FM) and her being dragged into the mess between FM and a veteran actress (VA). As it is, the family publicist was closely guarding the questions being asked by the press people. Hence, the reporters had to be content with questions about BQ’s new show. Then, someone asked how BQ felt towards working with MA. Just as when BQ opened her mouth, a fly landed on her lips. For a few seconds, the fly could not escape from her sticky lips. The wax on the lipstick created some form of fly trap. BQ exclaimed, “Pwe, pwe! Yuuuuuck! Eeeew!" Keeping her wits, BQ said, “bugs… hindi pa ako diwata ‘no!” Then BQ laughed off the incident and the poor fly managed to flee from her lips.

One reporter commented that it was a funny karma because BQ refused to answer queries regarding her, FM, and VA. Another added, “karma ain’t a b&^ch, but it’s a big bangaw on your lips!” Then again, a fly on her lips can mean something else. Any interpretation?

Can you identify who BQ is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Bayo's Response

 

 

Dear Fashion PULIS,

We appreciate your feedback about our most recent ads. With the different variations and suggestions made by the public, we have decided to reveal the rest of the campaign, as a way of shedding more light on the issue.

It was meant to be a three-part series rolled out over the next few months with the intent of celebrating nationality, heritage and personality mix.

Unfortunately, the message got lost along the way. Despite this, we at BAYO, will continue our 20-year tradition of celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of every Filipino.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely Yours,
Lyn Agustin
Vice President, BAYO

Staying a Libertarian

Sometime ago, the girlfriend (GF) of handsome actor (HA) got the ire of the leading lady (LL) in an epic series. GF and LL got into a tussle over GF’s over-friendly behavior. LL did not like the presumptive actions of GF. HA reprimanded GF, yet towards the end of the soap, his relationship with LL had gotten awkward. However, only a handful knew that GF is a celebrity in her own right but inspite of this, her current claim to fame is forcibly being linked to being the ex-partner of HA.

After the epic series, HA was cast as in another soap that featured petite actress (PA) and her real life friends. In the course of the taping, PA surprised the public by breaking off with hunk model (HM), while HA realized that he needed something more from GF. He felt he was not getting the affection he needed. While on location one day, HA sent a text message to a relative to seek advice regarding his breaking up with GF. The message got mixed up and was miss-sent  to GF instead. HA freaked out when he realized the blunder but it was too late. Expectedly, GF reacted like any woman scorned. She called HA countless times, but he chose to ignore GF. Then things were never the same.

As a single guy, HA felt free to be linked to anyone. The first was PA. PA seems to have earned a soft spot in HA. She has been invited to intimate gatherings of HA's close-knit family. When asked if they were already an item, HA said it would be nice if it were true. Meanwhile, PA has been linked to other personalities but she seemed not interested with anyone. One day, upon the request of PA's  mom, a family friend, who happens to be an animated politician, went on a set visit hoping to get to know HA. Unfortunately HA was not interrogated. The mom was worried that PA and HA might be involved in something serious as they would meet up each other even at ungodly hours.. As to what they did on those midnight dates, one can only speculate.

Technically, since there is no public admission of any commitment, this makes HA single and free to flirt with any one as seen in the photos. Is HA just being naughty with the woman in the photo? How would PA feel towards this behavior? At any rate, will HA and PA ever become an item? We can only wait what happens next.

Behind the Good Image

Image is certainly not a problem for this female TV host and writer (HW). She graduated from top schools for high school and university. She landed hosting stints in her current network because she is very articulate and intelligent. On air, she can speak her mind and still garner respect. Other than her job at the network, HW is also an appointed representative of an international organization.

At one point, viewers got a glimpse of her love life, and even rooted for her relationship with a low-profile production head (PH). However, her entering a reality show made her followers see how feeble she can be when it comes to attraction. She and another model actor (MA) started to get chummy in the top-rating show. Eventually, and expectedly, HW and PH broke up. In the end, other than their friendship, nothing official and serious happened between HW and MA.

HW continued to be visible on TV and garnered her own share of followers. When technology became fashionable, HW was one of the pioneer users of social networking sites which she used to her advantage. Her blog and twitter accounts began to prop up her image. However, followers and fans who disagree with her twitter rants will have a piece of her mind via a direct message aka DM. (Note that a DM is not visible on the twitter timeline.) Those who have received DMs from her attest that how she conducts herself via her DMs is a far cry from the image she projects - because she can be really   brutal.

Incidentally, HW stirred a bit of a buzz a few weeks ago when she did a daring pose on the cover of a men’s magazine. The cover photo was definitely in contrast to her girl-next door image. Something that shocked her fans and the public, who were in disbelief what she would be capable of doing. Until they realized that she was old enough to do such a bold career move. HW is in her late 20s, by the way.
