Is it a bird? Is it a Pineapple? Is it a Pineapp-a-bird?? Its DOLE! Yes, Dole certainly painted the whole of Davao's streets with chunks and bits of DOLE's Kadayawan float.

The float is a statement and a showcase of true Filipino creativity, resourcefulness, and hospitality. Kadayawan Festival which is probably one of the liveliest and most anticipated of all the fiestas, it definitely is not your ordinary fiesta as the floats here are one of the most anticipated event during the festival. These floral floats are showcased during the Kadayawan parade as a means of thanksgiving and celebration.

Students from schools also get to compete in the annual “Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan,” a street-dancing competition where participants are decked with the most vibrant and beautiful costumes. This annual week-long party also serves as an avenue to celebrate the many talents of the locals.


So, what's new this year? Dole joined in on the Kadayawan merriment as one of the sponsors. Their show-stopping float was adorned with different flowers and trinkets local to Davao. Dole also contributed to the revelry when it awarded products and cash to the winners of Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan. Hudyakaan was no exception as Dole sponsored some game and fun activities for the festivals many holidaymakers. In line with their “This Is My Dole” campaign, Dole Philippines proved that there really is a Dole for every Filipino by giving out samples of their different product offerings as a cool-down drink and snack.

Davao’s Kadayawan Festival is certainly one of the best things about the Philippines, what makes it better though is when all of the revelry and enjoyment are complemented with Dole Philippine’s refreshing snacks and drinks.

The night was truly amazing (at least for me). Everyone was waiting for Anne Curtis to arrive at Buddha Bar last night for her E! News Asia presscon.

Just in case you didn't know, Anne Curtis is the first Filipina celebrity to have a dedicated special on E!. Yes, that's the first! The popular show that is known for pop culture trends and leader in entertainment has chosen the Filipina superstar by dedicating an entire special for Anne.


Jason Godfrey who hosted the event called up Mr. Mr. Ramez Sheikh of E! News Asia to welcome the crowd. Mr. Ramez shared why they chose Anne Curtis, and the reason is "Why not?" Anne, is beautiful and has come a long way and has accomplished so much on her career and we would want to show that to the rest of the world.

Dressed by Francis Libiran, the beautiful actress answered a couple of questions from the crowd.

As for Anne, it was such an honor for her to be a part of this global program. She shared that it was such a blessing and humbling to be featured on E! News Asia. The brand has showcased Hollywood’s hottest like Nicki Minaj, Christina Aguilera to the British royal family and this time, its Anne's time.

The 30 minute E! News Asia Special will premiere on 29 September @ 7.30pm on SkyCable Channel 57, Cignal Channel 25 and Cablelink Channel 33.

Anne Curtis has earned the moniker “National Sweetheart,” amazingly wearing several hats in the Philippine entertainment industry – as a box office star, platinum recording artist, sold-out concert performer, trendsetting fashionista, talented VJ and host. She is also the most sought after product endorser, appearing in various media from billboards to TV commercials.

She began her career in 1997 while on vacation in the Philippines. A talent scout asked her to audition for TV commercials, and within a week bagged her first project. She also got her first acting break within a month when she was cast to play a damsel in distress in Peque Gallaga’s Magic Kingdom and the rest as they say is history.

From breakthrough performances in different networks, starring on her own soap operas, winning her first Best Actress Award at the Metro Manila Film Festival for the epic movie Baler and appearing on her first American indie movie, “Blood Ransom” (to be launched later this year) There is no stopping Anne Curtis.


Anne shared that “It is such an incredible honor to be on the same channel as my aspiring role models. It’s amazing that so many of my dreams are coming true including getting my story told on E! to the rest of Asia. I am getting to experience life-changing moments that I never thought possible and I hope my life story will be entertaining and inspiring to others.” 

Here are some photos from my Instagram.





So if you ask when what can I say about Anne? Well... She's just amazing. But I guess you know that already.

So, don't forget to watch the #ESpecialAnneCurtis September 29 @ 7.30pm on SkyCable Channel 57, Cignal Channel 25 and Cablelink Channel 33.

It was a good 'Fruitful' afternoon last Friday, August 16. Eastwood Open Park was graced the DOLE endorsers Phil Younghusband, Jon Avila, Bianca Valerio, and Chef Jeremy Favia to celebrate the Dole-licious Day


The crowd enjoyed a sampling of Dole Philippines’ different products from refreshing juices to the brand’s signature fruit bowls.

DOLE booths was set up and was giving out samples of Dole products as early as 12noon. The stage lighted up when Chef Jeremy showed off his cooking skills.

Cooking demo on how to prepare delicious dishes that you can do with Dole's products.

It was a sign for sore eyes when Bianca Valerio went up onstage and shared beauty tips and had a make-up tutorial.


Ladies and some guys (not me) went wild when Jon Avila and Phil Younghusband went out and enjoyed some games with the crowd.



After the bit with the endorsers, they also launched the new "This Is My Dole" music video which was one of the highlight for the night. It features the brand ambassadors with the winning entries of This is My Dole Promo. The winners of the This Is My Dole promo also had a mini meet and greet session with Phil, Jon, Bianca, and Chef Jeremy.

There was also this band that played the This Is My Dole jingle. Pretty nice. It sure was a very Dole-licious day for everyone there. Looking forward to more Dole-licious events around Manila. Check out more photos here.

I've always been a frustrated stylish kind of guy. Reason for that is because I'm a shirt and jeans kind of guy. I do some layering once in a while and wear something formal when needed or when I feel like it. Sometimes when I shop, I find it hard to go around the department store to find some good pieces pieces that I need. Then comes the General store.

The General store is kind of like the one stop shop for the modern man. Everything that a stylish guy needs are all here. Jeans, jackets, shirts, shoes, shades, bags, accessories and many others you can find it here. If you happen to be in Bonifacio High Street, I highly suggest that you visit them at the 2nd floor of C1, near where Jamba Juice is.


The concept of the store and the products there are pretty simple. Those who are stylish men who likes classics over the trendy stuff will surely enjoy browsing through the beautiful items in the store.

Taters has been around for a while and they have always been a pair together with our movie tickets. It's like a requirement for me to have their popcorn for every movie ticket that I buy. They are just so good!


This time, I tried Taters with no movie tickets, with no popcorn. I was able to try their California Honey Chicken. Which is also their featured sandwich for August. Last month, July they featured New York Beef Hotdog. They will feature the Florida Fish Fillet on September and the much awaited Brooklyn Beef Burger by October.

The grilled chicken patty had a hint of sweetness and a tangy honey mustard dressing in it, it was tender and had the right consistency. The whole wheat sesame seed bun was also a nice touch.The sandwich costs P145 for the ala carte, You can make it a meal for only P195. Choose flavor for your fries or chips. I prefer the sour cream and onion chips! :)


I had a chat with the good people of Taters and they shared that they are expanding into a diner like fast/casual restaurant. Going out of the movie snack segment and plans to offer more dishes and sandwiches by next year.

Taters have branches located at Alabang Town Center, WalterMart Makati, Robinsons Midtown, Trinoma, Market! Market!, Robinsons Galleria, Glorietta 4, Ayala Center Cebu, Cash & Carry, Robinsons Bacolod, Eastwood Citywalk, Eastwood Mall, Marquee Mall, Abreeza Mall Davao

The people from Taters also shared with us their Taters Sandwicher frequency card.
