Hallypop now in GMA!

I am a big fan of music but I was never into #Hallypop or #Kpop when it started. The last #Jpop I listened to was Shonentai, i caught the fever while in Tokyo in 1989.

I heard about Girls Generation and Wonder Girls in Christmas Parties but never really took interest. Many of my officemates are into it, but I didn't really cared that much.

Then my pamangkins grew up and started liking Kpop like crazy. They were talking about Twice, BTS, Ikon. So to understand them and get to talk to them, I studied Kpop like Phd. You know, get all the dirty details, too, I mean deep dive into each group and sub groups.

Now, I get to talk to them about Kpop or their favorite groups, buy stuff they'll really appreciate plus it preps me for new possibilities. Now that GMA will have a new channel for this market, I won’t have to parachute or rush my way into learning about this genre/market. Because, yes I am the market, too. Hahaha, hindi niyo lang alam.

GMA Hallypop will feature Asian Pop 24/7 beginning this month. Search for the signal via GMA Affordabox or any digital TV receiver to get the channel.

If you are interested to engage this market-- just.let.me.know. 😎

Magnolia Of My Childhood

When you buy Magnolia ice cream, you are reminded of your childhood…those times when a trip to Magnolia House means sharing a peach melba or a banana split with your brother or sister and “hating kapatid” means the older sibling will be getting the biggest portion for having the bigger stomach….when birthdays mean your parents are going to give away cups of ube, vanilla, or chocolate flavors to your classmates while they greet you in unison “happy birthday classmate, praise be Jesus and Mary!” and you feel like a star for a day…when mid-play you stop on the sound of that kuliling and run back to pester your nanay for a pinipig crunch, ice drops or those twin popsicles which you never ever got because they were expensive and for throwing a tantrum you have to fold all the clothes in the aparador…those times when you actually watched a TV ad curious to know the next flavor of the month... or when you saved money to buy a pint of your favorite flavor (mine was Choco Marble) then locked y...

They Are Making A Come-back!!!

Whammos, jelly jooze, watchamacalliit, funwich, Tivoli ice cream, Eskimo pie, bubble cone pink with gumball at the bottom… I think i'd pass for a 90s kid. :) They said brands come and go, but I think brands, they fade because their most loyal customer base just grew up. But, am sure the aging market will welcome with all their hearts and stomachs brands that will leave them nostalgic. Like Whammos! Huwat?!!!! Whammos, a chocolate-filled cake slice that was a favorite of kids during the 90s, is back in the shelves. Well, mostly you can find this chocolate fudge in 711 stores. (This was first posted in the FB account July 9 this year :) ) Also making a comeback is Magnolia's twin popsies!!!! The popsies come in orange and c...

Taxi Tales: A Certain Efren Martirez of Eastern Samar

He grew up in Samar...the driver of the taxi cab I rode to work proudly told me…Eastern Samar…here in Manila, he said, if you own half an hectare of land, you are filthy rich…but in our place in Samar, he continued, no matter how big a parcel of land we own, we were still poor…the place was beautiful though…It has a rice field and we planted vegetables… it’s at the foot of the mountain with a forest so beautiful…only, rebel groups, particularly the New People’s Army (NPA) of the Philippines made that forest their base… their leader’s name—Efren Martirez… he was related to that basketball player and comedian Yoyoy or Yoyong Martirez…bright kid that Efren and he was a professor of the University of the Philippines, I think…but he was a wanted man in Eastern Samar because he started the NPA in our province…I heard he had a nasty record…he killed 200 soldiers maybe more…Then the taxi driver paused…this was Marcos time…he even tried recruiting my father…but my mother tol...
