As the pageant fever continues to rise in the Philippines, only one television network gives everyone access to the preliminary show of the universe’s most beautiful competition.
Kapatid network, TV5, invites everyone to catch its exclusive airing of the swimsuit and long gown rounds of the 65 th Miss Universe competition. Happening at the SM Moa Arena, the preliminary swimsuit competition will air on January 28, 9:30PM, and the long gown competition on January 29, 8:45PM. A must-watch for all pageant fans, the performances of the candidates during the two events will greatly impact their standing in the competition.
“The preliminaries are very important because these are the only part where the girls will have the chance to shine as a big group for the last time. By January 30, only the top 15 girls will really get their spotlight on stage for the final swimsuit competition, and 10 for the evening gown,” explains world renowned pageant enthusiast, Norman Tinio.
“The preliminaries are very much-awaited every year as they represent the make or break part of the competition. These events give everyone a better idea of who really deserves the crown.”
“You can basically determine who will enter the top 15 and top 10 from the preliminaries,” adds Aces & Queens founder Jonas Gaffud. “It’s in this stage where judges are able to clearly see if you are smart, beautiful, and if you have the ability to own the stage.
That’s why a candidate must really have what I call ‘power’. I tell that to everyone I train—they should have that power to make the stage their own.” Dubbed “beauty queen maker”, Gaffud has been training the Philippines’ representatives in international beauty competitions, including Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach and Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa.
Pageant enthusiast and multi award-winning director Joey Reyes also shares, “The preliminaries are so much harder than the semi-finals, because when you become a semi-finalist, you enter a stage in the competition where you are competing against 14 other women only. But in the preliminaries, there are 85 of you. This is the part of the competition where beauty alone won’t carry you through.”
In partnership with the Miss Universe Organization and official Philippine broadcast partner of Miss Universe 2016 Solar Entertainment, TV5is the only television network that will cover the preliminaries of the 65 th Miss Universe competition. In a statement, its President and CEO, Vincent “Chot” Reyes, said that the station really pushed to gain rights to air the events as part of its commitment to provide world-class entertainment to Filipinos.
“Filipinos can look forward to watching their favorite contestants compete even before the grand finale, which is something only TV5 can offer. We aim to bring the pageant to life by bringing it closer to the hearts and enthusiasm of every Filipino.”explains TV5 President and CEO, Vincent “Chot” Reyes,
In addition to the preliminaries, TV5 will also air a live national telecast of the 65 th Miss Universe Competition’s Coronation Night on January 30.

It is important that you are on a healthy weight because you aim for a healthier version of yourself. In order to start having a healthy weight, it is important to regularly detoxify.

GoodAh is well-known for being an all native Filipino food chain when it opened in the 80’s and not only for coining the “si” meals that we loved today but was also the first fast food company to operate an “Open 25 hours” and “7 days a week” food service operations. GoodAh welcomes 2017 with a new branch in Baclaran and an introduction of a new revamped version of one of the most coveted Filipino dish last January 16, 2017. They could not have picked a more greater location as Baclaran is in the heart of the most busy and well visited City in the Metro especially on Wednesday’s when Baclaran church is jam-packed with devotees.
With already 7 stores “Open 25 Hours” in Metro Manila, GoodAh!!! starts this new year with another branch to open. GoodAh!!!’s newest branch will be ready to serve people in Baclaran and quell cravings for their favorite Filipino dishes all day, every day. The Baclaran launch will coincide with another new and exciting dish that many Filipinos love. The popular all-Filipino food chain will be offering their own Krispy take on a favorite Filipino classic dish, Kare-Kare!
GoodAh!!!’s Krispy Kare-Kare or “KKK” uses ground peanuts to give that traditionally rich and earthy flavor to its kare-kare sauce. A large bowl is filled with cooked string beans, talong, pechay, and of course, puso ng saging because it wouldn’t be much of a kare-kare without it. A good amount of soft and juicy beef flank joins the dish. Sautéed shrimp paste gives kare-kare a different dimension to its play on flavors, which is very much like how this Filipino dish became a classic that everyone loves.
But what GoodAh!!! adds to the table is what gives it the “K” in the KKK. The usually gamey ox tripe or what Filipinos usually “tuwalya” is tough to eat if not cooked properly— usually by slowly cooking it in a pot or by cooking it in a pressure cooker. What GoodAh!!! did was to fry the ox tripe to give it a crispy texture, which is a complementing contrast, especially to the soft flanks and rich sauce of kare-kare. It’s a real crispy twist on the classic dish! GoodAh!!!’s Krispy Kare-Kare is available for just Php 299 a la carte or everyone can have it in a set meal for just Php 339.
This exciting new dish is the centerpiece offering for GoodAh’s newest branch in Baclaran, Pasay City opening this January. The launch of the newest branch will have special guests along with GoodAh!!!’s top management heads to enjoy GoodAh!!!’s 8th branch to date. Included in their lineup of guests is GoodAh!!!’s brand ambassador and celebrity talk show host, Mr. Boy Abunda.
GoodAh!!! continues to push culinary boundaries with this new and exciting twist on kare-kare, much like their recent, wildly popular food offerings: Crispy Pata and Bulalugaw. And GoodAh!!! has been doing this for more than 30 years, as seen in their first coined acronym dishes like Tapsilog, Tosi, Longsi, and many others that has become a ubiquitous part of popular Filipino meals today— and each one is “Pagkaing Good for Every-All”.
We all want to achieve that effortless natural glowing skin and with the New Year comes another opportunity to have the best version of ourselves. In order for us to maintain or gain a new perspective on skin care regimen here are some of the tips that I list down below.
Having beautiful skin does not always mean you need to break the bank and buy the most expensive skin care products just for the search of our skin’s holy grail. It doesn’t need to be like that simply because you just need to know and understand your skin type in order to be able to manage it and turn it to a more beautiful skin without paying too much!
1. You need to make sure that you get enough sleep because being well-rested means having enough time for the skin to renew and regenerate overnight. It also lessens eye bags, acne chances and dark circles under the eyes.
2. Drink plenty of water EVERYDAY. When you drink plenty of water you nourish your skin with natural moisturizing properties plus it helps flush out the toxins from your body.
3. Eat healthy and exercise regularly. This does not only make you slimmer and fitter, it also provides amazing skin results because you get enough antioxidants by eating healthy plus you release happy hormones which make up for a stress-free, wrinkle-free face!
4. Moisturize and give your skin extra care by taking skin enhancing supplements that provide a healthier and better skin while providing other health benefits to the body, just like what Vita-E does!
Vitamin E helps maintain the skin’s radiance and healthy glow. Aside from that, it also helps in maintaining the functions of blood vessels, brain and nervous system. It strengthens the immune system and promotes good eyesight. Lastly, it helps in preventing cancer, heart disease and stroke. With 400 IU of Vitamin E, ATC Vita-E is perfect for you! It benefits our body greatly and protects the cells from harmful effects of free radicals. Vitamin E—being a good antioxidant, maintains the radiance and glow which makes up for an even healthier skin. No need to worry when you have Vita-E.

The New Year started out with festivities that might want to warrant anyone in planning an extensive weight loss program. But before we burn down the holiday fat out of our bodies with those unconventional solutions such as the use of slimming products, let’s look at the our own safety precautions.
There are different slimming products that promise fast results but there are consequences. Some products can have serious side effects such as high blood pressure, fast heart rate, insomnia, restlessness, dizziness, palpitation, fecal inconsistency, urgent stools and constipation. It’s okay and may even be tolerable if consequences are temporary. But what if it can cause severe dangers to body organs, what if you will lose weight but your health is compromised? Good thing you can avoid this by detoxifying your body with FatOut instead of other drug based slimming products.

Make up can enhance your natural beauty when the product is right for you. I have a combination of oily , dry and sensitive skin and that is why I am particular in choosing the right products that I apply on my face . I have started getting interested in paying attention in the way I apply make up when I entered the banking world as I have to attend meetings and meet clients everyday. So when I found out about DearBerry Philippines brand essence which is “affordable high quality cosmetics made with ingredients from nature ” I did not hesitate to check their products out. Here are my top 5 dearberry products wish list
Magic Oil Control Primer
According to their website this gets rid of oil while rejuvenating the skin. As I have mentioned above I have a combination of dry and oily skin. I tend to get oily after a few hours and having a great primer that can control the oiliness whilst prepping my skin for a smooth application of my foundation to my pores and filling the fine lines perfectly .Primer’s are truly one time saver if you are like me that don’t want to re apply your makeup after a few hours.

Since the trend of korean cosmetics in the Philippines, the bb cream is one of the staple pieces in every girls makeup kit not only is it light weight on the skin, it can also whiten, conceal the blemishes and does not feel sticky.

Suri Suri Aguamenti Powder #2 Natural beige
This does not only hold the entire look all day but can make your skin tone brighter and clearer with that youthful glow. Having a great setting powder can make the finished look more flawless.
