    Establishing a product brand boils down to make your product memorable! Favorably memorable to the people seeing it. Right?

    When someone walks into a store to buy, or someone runs on his/her fingers to the pages of the magazines, newspapers or other news print...you want them to go right exactly to you specifically! You need to get inside their head and guide them to know beyond about what the best possible product  to buy and give them the assurance of the good services you can offer that will give them satisfactory decision that your clients/customers can make. It means good value, good quality, and good service that for some reason it will make your product brand be a talk of the town and above the crowd unique.

    That's one of the idea why Madam Leonora D. Lim (owner of LDL Realty Incorporated and RDL Pharmaceuticals Inc.) choose the couple, Ms. Sarah Lahbati & Mr. Richard Gutierrez to endorse her companies, D'Leonor Inland Resort & Adventure Park, D'Leonor Hotel, Japanese Tunnel and EMARS Inn & Beach Resort.

    The information is very relevant in establishing a relationship with your clients, though some of your clients/audience will not be the first one to hold the strings but what is important is that you draw a communication to your product and build a brand that will make them go back and trust your product or services.

    Having Sarah & Richard as their endorsers is a great factor in building the trust with their clients, both are celebrities and people really listen to public figures and celebrities. With our technology today, media-driven society are often as familiar to us all as with friends and family. They can easily associate the two to be well-adventurous, fun and loving people. So having the ability in getting the attention of the clients, an endorsement on a product from a well-known person (which also matches your audience), probably a great advantage for the companies.

    December 16, 2016. The signing of the contract was held at the D'Leonor Inland Resort & Adventure Park HILL TOP VIEW Restaurant. Chairman & President Madam Leonora D. Lim attended the ceremony with her daughter Ms. Mercy Lim, and Ms. Annabelle Rama (Talent Manager) together with Sarah Lahbati and Richard Gutierrez along with their lawyers.



    Ms. Mercy Lim appreciated the support of her families and friends, especially Ms. Annabelle Rama in allowing the couples to become their newest endorsers, and for the first time endorsing the four companies under the umbrella of LDL Realty Incorporated and RDL Pharmaceuticals. She wished that it would become a good start up of their relationship (referring to Ms. Annabelle) as part of their family and create more contracts from Sarah (for RDL) & Zion (son of Sarah & Richard).

    Ms. Annabelle Rama appreciated the trust from the Lim Family and said that their friendship will never end and that includes the terms of business, operations, training and services (by providing talents) that will help boost the companies.

    The venture of the two will not just help the companies but also strengthen their long-term relationship as friends.

    Remember, people trust the opinions of their friends and families. By providing something unique or simply a good products/services at a good price.

    I was privileged to watch the special screening of, "Mga Bitoon sa Siyudad" ( Stars in the City)  - one of the Official Selection for SHORT FILM of Metro Manila Film Festival 2016 and to meet in person the film writer, director and producer of the movie, Mr. Jarell Mahinay Serencio.

    Mr. Jarell Serencio is a DABAWENYO, a graduate of Holy Cross of Davao College and a former head researcher of ABS CBN's "Maalaala Mo Kaya." Mga Bitoon sa Siyudad is his second short film in a festival. His first was VICTOR (a short story of a native in San Fernando, Pampanga, religiously offers himself to be crucified (literally nailed) every Holy Week and won as the Best Film in Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival in 2012 at Cultural Center of the Philippines.

    It's my first time to watch a short movie, it is shown for only 5 minutes and honestly I was a bit of curious on what's next.

    Mga Bitoon sa Siyudad
    CASTS & CREW

    Staying true to the story in something as brief as 5 minutes is extremely difficult. And I congrats Mr. Serencio and his staff to finished the film and it's perfect calling card!

    MGA BITOON SA SIYUDAD (Stars in the City), a short film depicting the life of two boys, Mac-Mac and Oliver during the Roxas Night Market Bombing. A tribute to those people who just wanted to survive day-to-day but have now become victims of terror attacks. A tribute to their families who were left behind.

    A personal touching story on love, family and friends. It may sounds problematic to some, but beyond that, this movie possesses a captivating charm of the two boys that makes it entertaining to watch. 

    As we celebrate Christmas this year - 2016 - we need to be thankful for all the blessings that many of us still have and continue to enjoy: having our family especially our kids, nieces and nephews to receive our gifts of love and generosity.

    Christmas reminds us how precious our children are because this is also the time when the child Jesus Christ was born. 

    Therefore, it is but fitting to remember that not all families are in a celebratory mood this time of the year. Just a few short months ago, Davao City's famous Roxas Night Market was rocked by a bombing that left 15 people dead and many more injured. 

    Below is Davao Fillmmaker Jarell Serencio's statement on why he made a film about this sad incident:

           "As a human being I feel so much pain for all the innocent victims of all the terrorist attacks around the world most especially to all children who died and suffered from trauma. Countless families lost a loved one, mother who lost a child, a child who lost a parent and brothers who lost a brother. I can empathize with their loss and suffering as I myself lost my Dad recently due to a prolonged illness.  
           So, when it happened here in my beloved hometown, Davao City, I could not contain the terrible emotion I felt on that day after hearing the news about the Roxas Night Market bombing. I feel that I should do something to contribute in condemning terrorism. As a filmmaker, I was inspired to tell the story of innocent victims that focuses on the lives of kids serenading the people in Roxas Night Market.
           This act of terrorism in my city has never shaken the faith of Davaoenos to stand again and go on with their lives. We remain strong and optimistic amidst the continuing threat to the city. That alone is something I can be proud of as a Davaoeno.
            To my fellow Davaoenos, I urge all of us to stand strong as a community, let us remain vigilant and steadfast in helping one another especially during times of tragedies.  We need to move forward but we need not forget the people whose lives and life stories have been cut short prematurely."

    Mga Bitoon sa Siyudad is going to be shown together with ORO, a full length film directed by Alvin Yapan and starring Joem Bascon, Irma Adlawan and Mercedes Cabral.



    There are officially 8 shorts and 8 full length films at this year's Metro Manila Film Festival which are in cinemas starting DEC 25, 2016 to January 3, 2017.

    Here is a sneak peek of the film.



    Dabawenyos let's support our very own Davao Film Makers!!! 


    Chocolate milk both nutritious and delicious.



    And Jolly Cow newest Chocolate Milk is basically an awesome delicious treat for children this Christmas.


    I received a box of Jolly Cow Chocolate Milk from Fly Ace Corporation, exclusive distributor of Jolly Cow, and because my tweens are lovers of chocolates just like their mother, they hurriedly open the box full of excitement!

    Since Jolly Cow Chocolate Milk is best enjoyed when it is chilled, we put 1 liter inside the freezer. Then after 30 minutes, my girls can't wait to drink it.

    Shake it first and viola!!! We are all impressed with the taste! Even my mother love it - "not too sweet", she said.

    And for me and my tweens, it's like we are drinking a milkshakes or a smoothies.

       
    It's made from 100% Pure Cow's Milk and REAL COCOA with less sugar, a stabilizers/emulsifiers and NO ADDITIONAL FLAVORINGS.

    A perfect combination of creamylicious and the chocolicious goodness of milk and cocoa mix together, available in 1 Liter and 200 ml sizes.



    And added here, is the idea to have a resealable cap, an "Easy Open Cap". No more foil seals or pull tabs, that sometimes gives you blister/cuts and sometimes seals goes with your drinks, not good. ☹

    A one-step opening that safe for children to open, by simply twisting the cap, you'll hear a click as the sealed tamper-evident ring breaks away from the cap. 


    Another thing I've notice is I don't see a foil seal once you open the product, which is for me a better packaging compare to the others. As I have said lately, the inner seal isn't visible but remains attached just underneath the opening and it doesn't fall into the product. Safe and Hygienic packaging!

    What is the difference between Chocolate Milk compare to a Chocolate Drink?


    Jolly Cow Chocolate Milk is the healthier alternative to your regular chocolate drink.



    You can give your "inaanak" (godchild), family, friends who are chocolate lovers with the Jolly Cow Chocolate Milk, a one delicious healthy and yummy treat this Holiday season.

    Christmas season is a celebration of the birth of Christ. It's also a time of gathering of families, relatives and loved ones. It's filled with laughter, joy and happiness  and not to forget that Christmas is a season of sharing and giving especially those less fortunate brothers and sisters of ours.

    There's no better way to share the warmth of the season than by generously pouring into the cups of those in needs. That's why, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf reminds everyone that life is about what we can contribute to the world during this season.

    The Season of Giving 

    As the Christmas season approaches and as we marks the end of the final pages of 2016, we look forward to the possibilities that lay ahead of us.




    It's my first time to attend the CBTL Giving Journal. I don't know about CBTL Advocacy. I thought Giving Journal is just an ordinary planner/journal, it doesn't slip my mind that it is a journal that gives.


    Available in 4 colors- rose, purple, gray and turquoise 


    The CBTL 2017 Giving Journal started from the incredible rise of the word "selfie" to the many articles and posts about "loving yourself first". There 's nothing wrong with sharing (sharing is actually good!), what is we need here is the way we reflect our motives for sharing.

    That is why CBTL launched the Giving Journal, to remind us all that life is not about what we gather for ourselves but what we give back about what we bless the world with.

    The Cup that Changes Lives 

    Throughout the years, starting from 2010, the Giving Journal's evolution, from different designs and theme, one thing has remained: the CBTL commitment to giving and to making lives better, one cup at a time.




    The 2017 Giving Journal has each month of the year begin with sketch that symbolizes various commitments of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf(CBTL). It highlights their partners organizations advocacies and how we all can take action in getting involved through out its pages.

    The Giving Icons




    Caring Cup Global (Gray Journal) - giving back to the farmers and community who work hard to supply The CBTL with Simply The Best products. The cup image aims to provide the farmers and the community as well with their needs.

    Radiating Heart (Rose Journal) - the power to spread goodwill. The image signifies how we can live up to the essence of giving by performing little acts of kindness towards others.
