Make any moment deliciously memorable with this Coffee Caramel Cake!

Filipino five-piece outfit NOBITA returns with a lighthearted folk-pop track that evokes the reassuring warmth of home and romance.

Their new song “Sa Ulan” finds comfort in knowing that there will always be someone willing to stand by your side when everything else doesn’t feel right.

According to vocalist/guitarist Jaeson Felismino, the lyrics of “Sa Ulan” was inspired by a pivotal moment in his life and it’s his way of expressing gratitude to that special someone who stayed and lifted him up on days when he felt down or unworthy of love.

“It’s comforting to have someone encourage you to be the best version of yourself,” Felismino reveals. “This song is my way of thanking that person, for inspiring me to aim for greater heights, and to believe in what I’m capable of as an individual, and as an artist.”

Veering away from the pop-rock grit of their previous releases, “Sa Ulan” weaves in effortlessly a more subdued musical direction while retaining the melodic smarts that defined some of their biggest hits to date. With acoustic guitars, a piano, and a cajon as part of the ensemble, the stripped-down ditty displays the band’s knack for simplicity and detail in the most riveting way possible.

“We had a lot of fun doing it,” shares Felismino. “It took us five days to wrap up the recording, but with the guidance of Isagani Palabyab, our producer, we were able to make gold out of something spare and unassuming.”



NOBITA’s “Sa Ulan” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

A valuable must-have for any trendy Pinoy on the go is to have and own a printed bag.



But how about sharing the fantastic feeling of having own one at the same time helping a cause or giving back to less fortunate beneficiaries.



That’s exactly the idea the visual artist turned painter Rommel Rico wanted to ‘ship’ the idea of art to a cause on his upcoming launch entitled Virrco Bag Launch on Oct 16, 2022 at 2 PM, at Pandan Café Scout Limbaga Tomas Morato Quezon City.



Catch the limited edition bags personally given an artful rendition by the OFW-turned artist Rommel Rico aka Virrco who is known to reflect the passion of Pinoy women in many of his works covering subjects like frontliners, HIV victims and a notable art-for-a-cause advocate In this vibrant collection of bags, Virrco applied his signature strokes with passion featuring Filipina women that truly embodies the resiliency and unfaltering spirit of Filipina women, very relatable to the contemporary modern setting. From curations to the setting of colors, this bag is worth a collection item or to share as a gift for this coming Christmas season.



What is more than possessing the charm of an artful printed bag is the opportunity to help a cause. Proceeds from this bag will benefit the Smile Train Foundation an international children’s charity that supports 100%-free globally children with a cleft condition.

This is an empowering fashion, imagine wearing something that indeed has a meaningful impact to others more than just a fashion statement or flex. The wearable concept is also close to the heart of the artist as VIRRCO intends to bridge art to fashion and advocacy which is something that gives more sense, and importance like a supplement that adds more effect.



Witness the unveiling of VIRRCO;s brand of sensibility and manifestation thru these printed bags that will truly fascinate anyone into art or not, or just simply an aficionado.



VIRRCO’s first official breakthrough exhibit entitled One Eyed Women was launched December of 2021 at MetLive Atrium in Macapagal and has received an impressive reception from both art appreciators and buyers benefitting the AIDS victims. His second exhibit in SM Centerpoint came last June 12 in celebration of Independence Day featuring his definitive portraits and artworks.

TIMES SQUARE, New York. 29 Sept 2022 – After a blockbuster opening at New York Times Square, homegrown restaurant chain Jollibee continues to make waves in the Big Apple with digital billboards now already up at the iconic Times Square in New York, the global epicenter of outdoor advertising.

Three billboards featuring its flagship product–the world-famous Jollibee Chickenjoy fried chicken—are now showing at the heart of Times Square’s famous bowtie. It features two models who, after seeing a piece of the crispylicious and juicylicious Chickenjoy, couldn’t resist a bite and grabbed a piece of the bestselling fried chicken from an adjacent billboard.

In August, Jollibee Chickenjoy was named “the best chain fried chicken in America” by Eater.com. The distinction comes after Jollibee’s Chickenjoy bested over 15 global brands in four rounds of contests across different categories of chicken – from bone-in, to fillets, to nuggets. Earlier in July, Jollibee was also recognized as one of the Hottest Brands in America for 2022 by Ad Age, driven by its power to draw huge queues to its restaurants.

Today, Jollibee joins other global brands which have made a presence in the Billboard Capital of the World, and is one of the few Filipino brands and personalities who have appeared on a Times Square billboard.

  

Taste is Timeless. The creative execution of the Times Square Billboard features a model on a billboard adjacent to Jollibee’s Chickenjoy billboard who breaks character and grabs a piece of Chickenjoy fried chicken from its bucket after seeing it.

This comes at the heels of Jollibee’s successful debut in Times Square, with over 2500 locals and tourists queueing up on opening day and consistently outperforming targets. Alongside its bestselling extra crispy, extra tasty, and juicy Chickenjoy fried chicken, Jollibee Times Square also offers other crowd favorites including the hefty Chicken Sandwich, and Peach Mango Pie, which is made of a crispy and flaky shell filled with real mango and peach.

Jollibee has likewise introduced new offerings into its menu, including a new host of all-beef burgers, salads, and sides that are exclusive to the Times Square location. A notable standout in the exclusive menu is the Jollibee Double Deluxe Burger, which features two 100% beef patties and double the melted sharp American cheese.

The Jollibee Times Square store is the brand’s fourth location in New York. This milestone opening is part of Jollibee Group’s goal of expanding its presence in the U.S. and Canada, in line with its vision to become one of the top five restaurant companies in the world.

For the past years, we’ve probably observed that storms have become more frequent, that hot days have become extremely hotter, or that rains have become stronger. These are said to be the impacts of climate change, which can especially be felt in the Philippines due to its geographical location.

While this is a cause for concern, you don’t need to be a superhero to help. Making simple changes in the way we cook and prepare dishes in the kitchen, when done collectively, can help make a difference in cushioning the effects of climate change.

How is cooking linked to climate change? Preparing dishes, washing cookware and even just stocking up on ingredients contribute to carbon footprint, or the total amount of harmful greenhouse gases being generated by an individual or activity.

Here are some of the practical ways you can minimize your impact on the planet by starting in the kitchen:

• Buy from your local market

The United Nations estimates that growing, processing and packaging food make up one-third of all greenhouse-gas emissions. When you can, buy food and ingredients from local businesses, farmers and market vendors as these products don’t usually need shipping facilities, extra packaging or excessive fuel consumption before they reach consumers. Locally grown ingredients are not only relatively cheaper, but also fresher and more nutritious.

• Always bring a reusable bag with you

While there are local ordinances in place requiring grocery stores in the Philippines to use paper bags in place of plastic bags, it is still wise to bring a reusable bag each time you shop. Got lots of eco-bags but end up always forgetting to bring them during errands? Stash your reusable bags next to your to-do list so you can grab them when you head out the door.

• Reduce food waste

The World Wildlife Fund estimates that one-third of all the food produced in the world is wasted, contributing to 6% to 8% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. You can help reduce food waste by planning your meals ahead and buying only what you need. Instead of cooking from scratch, you can also be creative with leftovers to whip up new meals.

• Maintain a clean cooktop

Cleaning your appliances regularly, especially your stove, not only makes for a pleasing and healthy kitchen but is also a way to reduce your household’s carbon footprint. Your gas range’s burners will produce heat better when they are not filled with burnt grime, reducing your cooking time and gas consumption.

You can also periodically check if your stove produces blue flame, which indicates that gas is being burned efficiently and without waste. Choosing only a safe and trusted LPG like Solane is guaranteed to produce blue flame for your stove, indicating its quality and authenticity.

Only Verified Solane LPG comes with an exclusive 7-Point Safety Check upon delivery, where friendly Solane riders check the safety of your LPG tank and ensure that your gas appliance is in tip-top shape.

Verified Solane LPGs also come with the Bioseal, the first of its kind biodegradable LPG seal in the country, which are easy to recycle and take only about five to ten years to decompose, contrary to 500 to 1,000 years normal plastic wastes need.

Making kitchen practices more eco-friendly is easier when you have sustainable and safe kitchen fuel. To order Verified Solane LPG, customers may call the Hatid Bahay Hotline – (02) 8887-5555, send a message to 0918-887-5555 (Smart) / 0917 8977555 (Globe) or the Solane Facebook page, or place their orders through the Solane app. Customers may also place an order through the Web Ordering Platform.
