I am a personal friend of Champagne and lately we have been encouraging one another in fighting for our dreams and praying for our loved ones.
Anyway I found a connection about us from the past as well.
My grandfather Ka Doroy Valencia started the first Metropop festival with miss Imee Marcos 1977 and you were one of the grand champions of the future iteration of it called the Metropop Star search launched 1998 where you won for the song “Journey to the Past”
My Grandpa was the founder along with miss Imee Marcos
You were the winner for the 1998 edition! We are both the winners for the 2021 edition of Life hehehe!
I met you at our church New Life Christian Center when I used to live in that area. Here are some photos of that era:
The first video with Take me by Eric Pablo and Champagne: (listened to this many many times and it really encourages me)
The second video where I had you guest at RIchard Merk’s show where I was the co-host during that time with Pastor Eric Pablo:
Thanks so much again for always encouraging me and praying for me on my birthday!
I am always proud of you and know God is so proud of your push to share Gospel music all these years that you have been in the limelight and even out of it!
I believe you have a great future ahead of you and the trials we are facing are equipping us for the battle. God bless you my friend and looking forward to feature you more, and collab with you! Let’s take this world for Him!

Four (4) members of the church shared their testimonies on how God miraculously healed them from Covid-19.
Krisna Din sang a song about God’s healing power right after the testimonies of the 4 members. Azel Arandia from the US shared a song from Kari Jobe right after the healing testimonies.
After the first hour that focused on healing and covid 19 survivors, the first original song by AHON music was performed entitled Amazing God written by Louis Angelo V. Leonen.
The song speaks of God’s unconditional love and amazing power. Jesus gave His life to bring us the abundant life.
It was an anointed worship song with an easy to sing harmony and melody!
After worship, an upbeat song was next with Jaci Velasquez entitled “We can make a difference”.
Song: You’ll Never Walk Alone by Josh Groban Singer: Sheryn Regis

They saved one of the best for the last portion. Singer-songwriter and OPM president Ogie Alcasid sang a song “Di Ka Pababayaan” and shared on how God will never leave us especially during times of distress.
The last part was all about Christmas themed songs. It was the best way to end the concert!
Right before the final songs of the show, there were 3 AHON stories that were shared that are very touching and inspirational.
1. Amazing Hope Project 8 – because of this outreach, AHON membership grew!
2. Xander who has a disability dreamt of being able to attend online class. AHON gave him a mobile phone & groceries.

Ms. Angel Locsin, Janine Berdin and Dimples Romana were so kind to help us in the video invites for the show.
Bloggers attended this zoom presscon and Pastor Julius, miss Joy Dano, miss Sheena Mendoza and Lalou Gabriel were in attendance including showbiz bloggers – Ted Claudio from Wazzup.ph, Albert Ryan Chikaness Ave, Kate Adajar from RandomRepublika, Josephine Bonsol, and Michael Louie Almacen (ByxBuzz)
Pastor Julius shared his testimony and the story of AHON.
He had a calling to help out with this church even though there were offers to him to be a Pastor abroad with a lucrative offer. He chose to help this impoverished area and God blessed his ministry to this day to reach out to all the people who are affected by the calamity including those affected by ULYSSESPH.
A demo of their theme song was played AHON which came from a contest and it is a beautiful, inspiring, catchy upbeat song which is a motivational song that will surely get the young dancing and to be inspired as well to really RISE above all the heavy situations of life.
They also said that a special AHON ID (like a station ID) with all their ministries and members will be shown in the online concert as well.
The reason I got into Showbiz Blogging mister Ted Claudio.
William James “Count” Basie (/ˈbeɪsi/; August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984)[1] was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. In 1935, Basie formed his own jazz orchestra, the Count Basie Orchestra, and in 1936 took them to Chicago for a long engagement and their first recording. He led the group for almost 50 years, creating innovations like the use of two “split” tenor saxophones, emphasizing the rhythm section, riffing with a big band, using arrangers to broaden their sound, and others. Many musicians came to prominence under his direction, including the tenor saxophonists Lester Young and Herschel Evans, the guitarist Freddie Green, trumpeters Buck Clayton and Harry “Sweets” Edison, plunger trombonist Al Grey, and singers Jimmy Rushing, Helen Humes, Thelma Carpenter, and Joe Williams.

Avon Rosales is a light unto the darkness. She is a singer that really shines for the Lord. That time I saw her share her testimony at the music hall, I approached her after and told her how much the Lord is pleased with her. After that we became friends and I am so grateful for knowing this awesome person and singer!
This was our latest interaction as she did comment on my vlogstar challenge 2: I hope that our paths will cross again soon.
David has a great attitude when he goes to the event. I like your energy and desire in praising the Lord. I like your editing skills, your appearance on your vlogI think you have got everything of being a good vloggerI guess perhaps what you can improve is how you can present it very well. Well thought and with a composed thought to your viewers. I like your topic cause I wanted to do something that glorifies God as well but when you do a vlog, it is very helpful to your audience to receive a good message. When you vlog or make a movie, you want a message you want to give out. It has to be coherant and translated in a way that the audience accept it. Medyo distracting lang yung effects. Just give us something simple. I am a fan of Less is more. Just telling a story very plain. Share a testimony. Ano yung nagawa sa yo ng panginoon. Ano yung specific topic? Ano yung struggle. Did someone hurt you? Find a song that fits that well. Find a song that fits that well. You can atract an audience that way. Ano yung message mo otherwise you will just be a noice. Personally. I think you have all the skills to make a film like story or vlog so your audience can get a wonderful message that can glorify. And I look forward to you inserting that in your future vlogs. Good luck David! (Avon Rosales) Thanks Avon Rosales I loved the last part of your comments especially the smile at the end! I know I didn’t reach the finals but I am went back to see these tips for my future vlogs. I will take this to heart and try my best to improve!
My first time to meet miss Avon.

Tomorrow, the Aliw Awards Foundation, Inc. will reveal the names of the finalists for this year’s awards at the 13th episode of ‘’aALIWin Kita’’ on FB live at 6 P.M.
Hosted every Sunday by Birdie Reyes III and Alexandra, from New Jersey and California respectively, “aALIWin Kita” is shown every Sunday and was created to promote interest in the forthcoming Aliw Awards Night ,set for December 8,2020 at Manila Hotel’s Fiesta Pavilion.
The finalists’ list was the result of the deliberation of the Screening Committee, which consideredhundreds of nominations over the past weeks. A Board of Judges composed of knowledgeable, impartial and prestigious individuals will select the winners from the finalists’ list and choose the Entertainer of the Year 2020, who will succeed Regine Velasquez .
A separate Committee on the People’s Choice Award is chaired by Aliw Trustee and PRO Njel de Mesa . It will take the pulse of the public as to who will succeed Lea Salonga, 2019 People’s Choice awardee.
We have always held that being a Finalist is itself a great honor and a number of past Finalists have acknowledged that. However , experience has shown that only performers who expect to win attend Awards Nights. This is true not only of the Aliw Awards but of other awards-giving bodies as well.
Perhaps, in the future, it will be a different story.
At any rate, attendance at Aliw Awards 2020 will be limited, due to Covid-19 and only the brave of heart and avid fans of the Aliw awardees are expected to leave their comfort zones to witness this first LIVE awards presentation since March,2020 . A limited number of tickets may be reserved or bought by calling 0908-316-4574

After covering events with Myrtle before and some that featured Gerald Santos and after hosting Aaliwin Kita show for the first 7 episodes for the Aliw Award foundation thru which I met the manager of the prince of Ballad and the director of his latest online show “The Great Shift” , Direk Rommel Ramillo invited me to the press conference of his latest project – The solo virtual concert of Myrtle Sarrosa who is a Pinoy Big Brother teens Grand Winner of 2012, a famous cosplayer, a gamer, a TV/movie star and a singer-songwriter as well.
The title song for her concert
From Wikipedia
Myrtle Abigail Porlucas Sarrosa (born December 7, 1994) is a Filipina actress, cosplayer, host, singer and songwriter who rose to prominence after being declared the Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition 4 Big Winner.[1] Sarrosa was formerly under Star Magic, ABS-CBN‘s home based talent agency where she was launched as one of the Star Magic Angels. She is currently managed and under contract with GMA Artist Center.
Sarrosa graduated cum laude from the Philippines’ top university, University of the Philippines, with a degree in broadcast communication and served as the Sangguniang Kabataan President in her hometown Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo.[5][6]
STILL LOVE ME was supposed to be a live concert and not a virtual one but the producer Attorney Topacio said during the Press Conference that they will still give the concert a full concert feels and will give a good budget for her solo concert to make sure it will be a great one!
The pressconference was held during the 55th birthday of attorney Ferdie Topacio and he said that he remembers meeting Myrtle too when Myrtle sang for his birthday many years ago. Besides this concert, he also chose Myrtle to play one of the lead roles for his upcoming film MAMASAPANO under Borracho Productions.

Direk Rommel Ramillo said that this concert will celebrate the past of Myrtle’s careeer which started during her PBB days 2012, and this concert will focus on her present favorite songs as well and will also show everyone what type of future we can expect from the cosplayer from Iloilo.
One of her promotions for her 2019 film The Annulment under Regal Films
I remember praying for Myrtle even while I was wearing a Unicorn costume during my promotions for her under Adobers for her movie TRES
The prince of Ballad Gerald Santos will be her special guest for the concert and they are bound to be singing a broadway duet which is a first time for Myrtle to sing that genre in public.
Gerald Santos has won many awards and is now nominated for 4 Aliw Awards and is also nominated for Broadway Awards thanks also to his manager and Director Rommel Ramilo. Having said that Myrtle Sarrosa and Borracho Productions is in good hands with Direk Rommel.
Aaliwin Kita with Gerald Santos hosted by Birdie Reyes III and Happy Rich TV David Valencia where I met DIrek Rommel Ramilo
It was all in all a fun party for Attorney Topacio and his media friends which included some of the sponsors and supporters as well.
While searching for the name Myrtle, I found this meaning –
What does Myrtle symbolize? As the myrtle spreads fragrance in the world, so did she spread good works.” Myrtle represents the community, thought of as a symbol of peace and of Eden and of marriage. … The plant has many, layered meanings—youth, virginity (before marriage), fertility, innocence, immortality, fidelity—but, above all, love.
I am sure her concert will be a hit and all those that love her will be happy to watch it. Let us celebrate the life of Myrtle and her songs of love, about her youth, her fidelity and her unique characters in cosplay and her real/reel life.

Have you ever felt uncomfortable with some slight feelings of uncertainty, boredom, or irritation lately? Well, there’s a huge possibility that the new normal has psychologically shifted your default mode. Acknowledging such feelings may be a good start to cope with the problem. It may not be easy, can be very stressful and may even lead to excessive hair shedding! Although this quarantine is expected to be temporary, it may still go on for more months, OMG!
Well, definitely this is not a long vacation but an opportunity to look back, rediscover and appreciate what you’ve been used to enjoy, an invitation to simply love yourself just a little bit better. Be more aware. Be more diligent in choosing products that you will embrace as part of your health and beauty care. That’s the first step. But how?
NOVUHAIR®, nature’s answer to hair loss, partners with the country’s Health, Beauty & Wellness Icon Ms. Cory Quirino in spreading the brand’s advocacy campaign and reaching out to more Filipinos around the world in celebration of its 10th successful year in the market.
“With little acts of loving kindness towards the self, you can achieve the perfect 10,” she emphasizes. “In order to look good, you have to feel good. And in order to feel good, you’ve got to look good. Start with self-love. Begin with self-care. Start with your hair.”
Hair loss can have a devastating effect for both men and women and the experience of losing more than hundreds of hair strands can be quite alarming. So, what can we do to prevent it?
The health, beauty & wellness icon says that choosing wellness as a lifestyle includes eating nutritious food, exercising, getting a good sleep, drinking generous amounts of water, managing stress, getting enough sunshine, and above all, staying positive. On top of a daily healthy regimen, a supplement is necessary to maintain a healthy hair and scalp. Many people opt to use chemical-based products. But for her, the use of natural products is a must and the best solution for hair loss.
“There are hair treatment products in the market today that claim to be effective but their ingredients could contain chemicals that may prove harmful with long-term use,” she enthuses. “Choose natural. You deserve more. Go for the PERFECT 10!” she emphasizes.
Visit NOVUHAIR’s Facebook page @NovuhairOfficial and learn more practical ways on how to start loving yourself a little bit more – video episodes of Petite Conversations with Cory Quirino.
You deserve more. Go for the PERFECT 10!

Often we complaint about slow internet as well as pricey transportation services. But, did we think about the solution and the reason why? If we have more than 10 internet or transportation company available competing in the free market.
I’m pretty much sure that the public will be happy than now. More options to choose from in which truly deserving company can get the fair market share according to customers taste or demand.
And for sure those companies big or small can deliver much better quality service in a competitive price. So let the public choose and decide.
OwtoPhl page is a platform where drivers/partners can send their concern about transportation. They have challenges right now, the page is currently down. This blog also serve as a public service or advocacy.
That give voices to those who where oppressed and threated unfairly. So facebook please restore the page facebook.com/owtophl. Give this small business a chance to share its service to the Public.
During the pandemic period safety is our concern, But we are also considering the budget of daily commute.
Ride sharing apps is the solution to this public transportation crisis. OWTO is new in the market that value safety, comfort and safety at a lower price. OWTO is available in Metro Manila and some parts of Bulacan, Rizal and Cavite province.
You may download the OWTO app via android and apple application. To experience the fair and safe riding experience.

I am at a loss for words. Actually I know about Emman and he was like a son to my friend Walter De Vera (Filipino Vines) Barely a month after his passing away, yet another top vlogger left the world today and this time I met this funny guy several times at Adobers Christmas Parties twice.
mde
Party with LLOYD CADENA
We were still called Chicken Pork Adobo that time December 2016.
The last time to see LLoyd Cadena December 2018 Adobers Party fbt
One of his latest vlogs shows him giving hundreds of tablets cause he knows how students are struggling with online class.
THIS! This is the reason why Lloyd Cadena is one of the greatest YouTubers. He never forget to help others. Your kind heart will forever be missed Kween🥺 pic.twitter.com/qnKCimD7Zq
I never knew I would cry for someone I didn’t know that well but he was family to me in more ways than I can think of including Emman. We are all part of a big family of YouTubers/Vloggers/Influencers.
I will dedicate my continous battle to inspire others and to spread cheer for the 2 of you! Thanks to you and to your millions of followers for proving that regular people with extraordinary hearts can inspire change and make a lot of difference!
JoshLia fans are so happy now that they saw this tweet from miss Julia Barretto after her past ka Love Team Joshua Garcia followed her at Twitter and a new project for the 2 is going to launch on August 15. Is this for showbiz or for real? comment at this blog.
Challenge Accepted: to do a blog mostly with just words like the Typewriter era.
Finally! my own Domain and this is my first blog post for my new domain!
Today I will be rushing to do a challenge 3 for VLOGSTAR TV. It somehow is connected to what is my branding. What is my USP – Unique Selling Point. I am thinking and meditating on that and all I can see is days, weeks, months and years of dreaming and wishing those dreams would come to pass. It is a great thing that there is a verse about this.
Ephesians 3:20 20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, AMPlified edition.
The other is a song that inspires me a lot about why I do what I do and that is a million dreams from “The greatest showman”.
A million dreams! – in KUMU – I titled my stream – A million streams
A million dreams (Lyrics with some reflections and thoughts about this song)
I close my eyes and I can see The world that’s waiting up for me That I call my own (Creating Worlds and Content) Through the dark, through the door Through where no one’s been before (New things, New Ways, New Grace, New Oil, New Joy, New Wineskin) But it feels like home (It is home because we find ourselves when we follow our passion and our dream)
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy (People may call you crazy and even be against you but go on) They can say, they can say I’ve lost my mind (some may literal think you’ve lost your mind when you are chasing after your dreams with so much passion) I don’t care, I don’t care, so call me crazy (Do not care! Do not care. – That is a key to success in creativity. Do not let your naysayers stop you. Do not let your failures and frustrations stop you. Do not let having no views and interactions when you stream in KUMU discourage you or when you post your YouTube and there are no views on the video stop you from doing more streams and posting more videos.
We can live in a world that we design – (we actually live in a world where there is a light bulb and airplanes because of people that designed it before our time and really worked on those dreams)
Cause every night I lie in bed The brightest colors fill my head A million dreams are keeping me awake (Creators cannot sleep until they do something they were meant to create) I think of what the world could be A vision of the one I see A million dreams is all it’s gonna take A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make ( This world we make is all for His glory and for our children’s future)
There’s a house we can build Every room inside is filled With things from far away ( our journey and our output is filled with the blessings and moments that we have with many people and from around the world The special things I compile (I take photos and videos to tell people that they are loved by God and that they are special) Each one there to make you smile (Happy Rich Things to make people smile) On a rainy day (Praying this rainy day will go away) rain is a blessing but I see rain as a sign of a gloomy day too like this COVID 19 pandemic. We pray it will go away but while it is here, we can still do things to make people smile and cheer them up!
So this is just a part of the things in my heart. Thanks for all reading this! Please continue praying for me and the whole world as well! #Don’t stop believing and dreaming!

The MNL Beer Fest is a three-day event that features over 100 different imported, local, and craft beers from October 14 to October 16 at the Greenfield District Mayflower Parking in Mandaluyong. Being the only event in the Philippines that consistently brings beer enthusiasts from across the region together since 2018, this event proves that Filipino beer is truly world-class and worth celebrating. With artisanal beer culture slowly gaining traction in terms of popularity in the Philippines, the MNL Beer Fest hopes to bring in both patrons and newcomers alike.
Guests attending this event would surely have a unique experience because not only that they will be able to try as many beers as they want, they can personally have a chat with the respective brewmasters & beer ambassadors. According to Event Director,Cherry Genato, one of the primary goals of this year’s MNL Beer Fest is to educate first-timers about the locally produced craft beers. In this event, guests will get basic information that allows them to distinguish beers based on their unique beer styles, production method, and flavor profiles.
For a minimal admission fee of Php 250, you get one (1) beer serving and bonus to get FREE TASTE from some of the local brewers! One can get very overwhelmed with that alone.
Asia Brewery Inc. will be participating with their Brew Kettle Beer & Asahi Beer. Watch out for the recently launched Heineken Silver at the event and a wide array of Imported beers from Booze Online.
Participating Local Craft Beer breweries at the MNL BEER FEST are : (Alphabetical Order)
Beer Bunny, Bulul, Crows Craft Brewing & Distilling Co., Drink It now Pare, Elias Wicked Ales & Spirits, Gypsy Brewing Guild, Jade’s Temple Microbrewery, Katipunan Craft Ales/PCK, Manila Mashers Homebrew Club, Mitchell’s Backyard Brewery,Nipa Brew, Nitro, Oros Brew Shop, Palm Tree Abbey, Sagada Craft Brewery, Brewed Statement, Bellas Brujas Rak ‘en Roll, The Marc’s & Tony Brewing Co. Three Bulls Craft Beer and Brewery, Tipsy Cream Manila, Treeline Ales and Weekend Craft Ales.
` This event is open for all and is located at the Outdoor Setup in the Mayflower Parking of Greenfield District in Mandaluyong from October 14 to 16, 2022, from 4pm to 12midnight.
For More details on the Philippine Craft Beer Festival visit :
The launch of the 1st ever CRAFT BEER NIGHT at LIPA CITY, BATANGAS last weekend of April 1 & 2 at 3 Peaks Resort & Boutique Hotel marked the rise of awareness of the Local Lipenos to support Locally brewed Craft Beers.
Not the usual nightlife, but an extraordinary gathering of invited guests by the organizers of the event coming from different towns of Batangas province and even from Metro Manila. Upon guests arrival, they are led to their respective seats with a Craft Beer Flight glass set up on the tables. This is where curiosity among guests began to rise. There are quite a few informative materials you can see at the table, like the breweries & beer styles for tasting & the food that is paired along with it.
MNL Beer Fest Event Director, Cherry Saculo hosted the program with The Philippine Craft Kings Marketing Head, Jazel Paraiso, for 1st timers to a BEER 101 format, learning & drinking at the same time is probably not what one guest normally experience when they think of going out, but this was done gracefully by these two ladies who were very well versed when it comes to Craft Beer Information. Guests started their Beer Tasting journey by consuming 4 glasses in total of each beer kind, such as : Pilsner (by Crazy Carabao Brewing Co.), Ale (by Katipunan Craft Ales), Strong Ale (by Boondocks Brewing) and Stout (by Blackwhite Craft Brewery). All these distinctly different beer styles were paired with pulutan prepared by Chef Auster Perez of 3 Peaks Resort & Boutique Hotel
Placing together in one venue both the crowd of 1st timers for a Craft Beer Tasting evening and enthusiasts craft beer drinkers is quite an interesting audience. Majority of empty glasses may mean that Lipenos love to drink! Craft Beers are priced x2 or even x3 more than the usual commercial beer, it being the gourmet of beers, you may say that drinkers who appreciate this type of alcohol have a preference on taste. For a Craft Beer drinker, it was never about the volume of alcohol that one can consume, but the Flavors one can explore.
The event was made more interesting by the Live DJ Music of lady Dj michiko and special guest Eistiene of MOUSE HOLE Cheese Bar X Restaurant. Another group who came were riders from Vespa Club of the Philippines VCOP – Vespa Club of Marikina (VCM) who drove five long hours through the backroads from Manila to Batangas just to witness the event. The venue looked like a Bike night, with aligned Ducati motorbikes from the members of Samahang Batangenyo Karibok (SBK) and the unique 3-wheels motorcycle from can-am moto club PH.
An event aimed to bring the awareness on what locally made Craft Beers are all about, took the City of Lipa, Batangas to the Map of the Craft Beer Community with the support of GV 99.9 FM and Event Partner Mr. Aris Luancing with the honorable Vice Mayor MakMak Luancing gracing the event with their presence who all respectively shared the advocacy of supporting Local produced products of the Philippines.
An event organized by the MNL Beer Fest team and Mr. Jun Flores of Philippine Craft Beer. Let’s Drink Fresh Beers! Support Local Craft Beers!

During the latest presscon (Jan 25, 2021) of Borracho Film Productions, the press and media were invited to some good news about the career of a famous actress from the Philippines – miss Claudine Barretto whose career as a movie star was in Hiatus for over 6 years.
The film is produced by Atty Ferdie Topacio, the script by Eric Ramos. Claudine, one of the finest actresses of her generation, got Arnold Vegafria as her new business manager. During this same event, it was a remembrance and tribute to the Mamapasano victims and the announcement of the new venture of miss Claudine as well.
Gerald Santos – a multi awarded singer (The Prince of Ballad) who had garnered the highly coveted plum “The entertainer of the year” under Aliw Awards Congress 2020 and several BroadwayWorld Awards will be playing the young love interest for Claudine. I asked Gerald Santos what is his reaction to some of his supporters saying that he looks like the classic love team partner the late Rico Yan and this was his reaction.
Gerald Santos serenaded the audience once more with Sana’y Wala Ng Wakas composed by the late Willy Cruz and popularised by the OPM legend Jun Polistico.
During the press conference, Atty Ferdie Topacio sang an original song her wrote for his more than a friend /BFF Claudine Barretto. It was a jazzy loving heartfelt great rendition!
Here are some clips from the said conference. During the Q and A, miss Claudine Barreto confirmed that Gerald does resemble Rico Yan as well.
Kara Madrid who will be playing the sister of Claudine in the upcoming movie is a viva artist who will also have an upcoming virtual concert this February 6 similar to the sold out concert by Myrtle entitled “Still Love Me” by the same producer.
Edu Manzano also graced the occasion to commemorate the Mamapasano victims. He plays a major role as a military chief in the upcoming movie by Borracho Productions.

Congrats again to the Optimum Star miss Claudine Barretto for your comeback movie and another milestone for Borracho Productions!
Everyone is posting about this and I am happy that AC is really part of RIVERDALE season 5. I have met her and featured her several times. I consider her a friend and I am also her supporter as well. We were both under ABS-CBN’s Adobers which recently closed down. I watched and featured her solo concert, her many co-starring roles at presscons like for Playhouse and AmazingVing plus her MYX events and YouTube events including ACNATICS special Fandom events.
This concert, MYRTLE: STILL LOVE ME, looks back on her journey in the industry and gives us a glimpse of what is in store for the future
