IAM Worldwide Welcomes ‘Squid Game’ Global Star Jung Ho-Yeon to the Philippines

This 2022, IAM Worldwide is focused on aggressively expanding their company operations and market influence. And in line with this, the company says it is ready for bigger things and is delighted to welcome its newest brand ambassador – South Korean model and actress Jung Ho-Yeon.

Ho-Yeon is best known for playing the role of North Korean defector Kang Sae-Byeok (067) in Netflix’s Squid Game. The series became Netflix’s most watched show ever within a week of its launch on the streamer, with 142 million member households globally watching the show. Since then, Ho-Yeon’s fame has skyrocketed on a global scale with now having 23.7 million followers on Instagram and counting. Before her acting debut, she gained popularity as a top runway model starting at the age of 16 and has starred in Korea’s Next Top Model in 2013.

Catch Jung Ho-Yeon in her first fun meet event "JUNG HO-YEON 정호연 Fun Meet in Manila" on November 11 at the New Frontier Theater in Cubao, Quezon City.

For IAM Worldwide President/Founder Allen Marvin Yu Eder, having Jung Ho-Yeon on board is perfect for the company’s goal to reach potential millennial and Gen Z consumers. “Ms. Jung Ho-Yeon is definitely the exceptional choice as the new face of the company and our products. She’s now a powerhouse celebrity known globally and really connects well with the youth. She’s a glamorous ace for IAM Worldwide”, he explained.

Moreover, Vice President/Founder Aika Lorraine Uy believes that lots of Filipinos right now are really into the Hallyu wave with the Korean entertainment so having a very prominent star like Ho-Yeon is a real honor as her chic personality and glamorous aura greatly compliments the company’s goal to inspire the youth and feel connected with IAM Worldwide’s products more than ever. She said, “We consider being associated with the very lovable Jung Ho-Yeon as a success already. We strongly feel that she will be able to scale up the company’s presence and customer base by a thousandfold not just here in the Philippines, but also in other countries.”

Ho-Yeon has won millions of hearts because of her talent, beauty and charm. She recently won the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series at the 28th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards last month and the Best Actress in an Action Series at the 27th Critics Choice Awards held last March 13. Moreover, she recently accepted the global ambassador role for luxury brands Louis Vuitton, Chanel Beauty, and sports wear Adidas.

Meanwhile, General Manager/Co-Founder Joanna Mañego considers this a “proud moment” for the company since Ho-Yeon deeply understands her role as an ambassador and fully trusts the benefits of IAM Worldwide’s products. “We are so proud that we have Ms. Jung Ho-Yeon on our side as our company goes to its pivotal moment of expansion. With her campaign, we believe that we will be able to encourage more people to be and stay healthy with IAM Worldwide’s products,” the GM stated.

Get ready as the young global fashion icon and superstar proudly endorses the AMAZING Pure Organic Barley that is a grass leaf, 100% organically grown from Australia in the young green stage which is purported to be the most prolific, balanced supply of nutrients of any single source. Another product is the AMAZING Immunergy with Vitamin C + Zinc + Vitamin D + Moringa Oleifera, an immunity and energy boosting powerhouse. And the AMAZING Acai Berry Extract with Collagen and Bacopa Monnieri, with 8 essential ingredients to protect the body from damaging effects of free radicals while enhancing one’s memory and promoting skin elasticity.

Truly, IAM Worldwide is grateful because it’s Ho-Yeon’s very first time to endorse a company and brand that’s proudly Filipino. And if you ask her, she can’t wait to bring happiness to her growing hardcore fans and supporters here in the country. She hopes to visit the Philippines soon and is very thankful to all the love she’s getting on social media coming from Filipinos.

“Sending my biggest hugs to you. I am always proud that I have such caring and loving fans from the Philippines! Take care and stay healthy everyone. Fighting!”, says Jung Ho-Yeon.

Yassi Pressman Sizzles in Ginebra San Miguel 2023 Calendar Girl Photos

Filipino-British actress and Queen of the Dance Floor Yassi Pressman was announced as the 2023 Calendar Girl of Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI) during a grand event attended by friends from media, social media celebrities, GSMI dealers, and other brand ambassadors at Makati Diamond Residence on Tuesday, November 8.

Yassi was surprised and honored when she got a call that she was chosen to be the newest member of the GSMI family. “Being a part of such a great legacy is something that is going to be a milestone in my life,” says Yassi. “It’s really something special to be part of a company that serves world-class quality products, and it means a lot to me that they chose me to be a part of the brand,” she continued.

It was the first time again, after two years, that the event was held face-to-face. “We are excited to finally hold our Ginebra San Miguel 2023 Calendar Girl launch live again! For us, this launch also signals the atmosphere for next year. The pandemic has affected many Filipinos, but now is the time to recover - armed with Bagong Tapang, to dream and hope again, and to spread that positivity to others,” says Marketing Manager Ron Molina.

With the theme “Queen of the Barangay,” the calendar features Yassi as a modern Filipina that is able to adjust to the new normal with positivity and productivity through her “matapang,” “ganado,” and “never-say-die” attitude.

YASSI AS “QUEEN OF THE BARANGAY”

Yassi prepared herself physically and mentally to be the best representation of what an ideal Ginebra calendar girl should be. She admits that prior to her selection, she was always trying to keep herself fit. “Of course, there were times that I also had to give in to my cravings, but at the end of the day, I knew my priority was to be stronger, healthier, and happier.”

Preparing for the calendar shoot, Yassi pushed herself to do weight training, boxing, and having a healthy diet. “My fitness journey helped me become a better version of myself.” As for her mental preparation, she just kept in mind Ginebra’s taglines like “Ganado sa Buhay,” and “Never-Say-Die.”

With Yassi’s positivity and optimism in life, her personality shined through the six layouts of the Ginebra San Miguel 2023 calendar. The photo shoot was also done on location after two years, reflecting the relaxed and open atmosphere we anticipate in the coming year.

The six layouts are inspired by different cocktail mixes. 

The first one is “Ginsu Mix” set in an auto repair shop, reminding the importance of hard work and passion in everything we do. 

The second layout is “Calamansi Surprise,” showing Yassi amidst greenery and nature.

“Kula-Orange Fizz” is the third layout, featuring a background filled with dried pampas grass with wooden trays where one can display spirits and mix cocktails. According to Yassi, she could relate to this design as she had her dream home renovated recently, which now features a lot of touches of brown wood furniture and neutral shades. “I also have a mini bar in my living room–an open space to bond with my family and friends.”

The fourth layout is the “Velocity Mix,” something that seems like it’s from a blockbuster summer movie complete with a ref full of Ginebra products. 

While “Sky Prisma” is the fifth layout, also in a beach setting, but this time with a picturesque sunset in the background. 

Last is the “Mango Daiquiri,” where Yassi is magnified by a bonfire by the beach, the best place to experience Ginebra’s creative cocktails and concoctions. Just don’t forget your coolers and ice boxes for that perfect night!

Personally, it was hard for Yassi to choose a favorite among the six calendar layouts, but she has a bias toward the “Velocity Mix.” “It’s because I always enjoy beach time with family and friends–a ‘ginstronomic’ trip with our favorite food and gin. The drink also has candies and gummies–the perfect combo for me, as it is sweetness with a kick!”

YASSI ON BEING A MODERN FILIPINA

During the pandemic, the actress and entrepreneur has gained new discoveries about herself–a new purpose, pride, and passion that resonates not only with her family but the whole barangay.

As an empowered Filipina woman, Yassi owns multiple businesses, knows how to tend to her organic garden, fixes things at home, and concocts rejuvenating drinks for herself and her family—all while fulfilling her commitments in the entertainment industry.

With her self-discovery, Yassi also realized to be kinder to herself and has become the “matapang” woman she is by refusing to let difficult circumstances pull her down. “When I was younger, my father always advised me to keep trying because, as he said - if you try and try and you succeed, you’re going to be happy, but if you try and try and you fail, I’ll be there to catch you,” says Yassi. Her family, the source of her “tapang,” made her fearless in the face of whatever trials or tribulations she may face.

Despite her personal struggles, Yassi continues to hone the talents that she already has and allows her inner beauty to radiate, too, in order to inspire others. According to her, she shows her most natural self online and sometimes even reveals some not-so-glamorous side of a celebrity because she believes that it would be healthy for people, especially the youth, to see that genuine side of her.

“I am open to everybody [on social media] about my battles and journey toward being healthier and stronger,” says the 2023 Ginebra calendar girl. “Whenever I get messages from little girls or any netizen saying that I inspire them to dance, act, and to keep moving forward, it gives me the ‘ganado’ feeling and hope and aspiration to empower more women!”

If there are things that the pandemic or the recent months have made women realize, it’s that they can accomplish things that are not expected from them and deliver more than the ordinary. “I think Ginebra San Miguel chose me because I embody courage, passion, and its never-say-die spirit. Growing up in showbusiness, you’d experience a lot of rejections and comments from people, and while we know we should just brush them off—especially the non-constructive criticisms - they sometimes get to you,” adds Yassi.

But amid all these rejections and disappointments in the past, Yassi just soldiered on, keeping a “never say die” attitude. Eventually, she became unstoppable, brimming with positivity and personality, allowing her to rise above the crowd.

As “Queen of the Barangay,” Yassi and her friends know how to have a good time - with good music and drinks, as seen on her social media posts. “We love theme parties; the last one we did was about sunflowers. We also did disco and Coachella.”

The new brand ambassador also shared that her favorite gin drink is the GSM Blue Mojito because of its light taste and her friends can easily enjoy the drink by just simply putting ice or adding any fruits like pineapple for a fruity flavor.

As GSM’s newest brand ambassador, Yassi hopes to spread positivity and continue to inspire and empower women and the youth - sharing the “ganado” spirit with her 28 million followers on social media.

THE GINEBRA CALENDAR TRADITION

The Ginebra San Miguel Calendar Girl is a long-held tradition in GSMI and an important part of the brand’s history. Since its inception in 1988, beauty queens, actresses, and models who have made their mark in their respective fields have graced the Ginebra San Miguel calendar. Among them were Marian Rivera (2009 and 2014), Anne Curtis (2011), Solenn Heusaff (2012), Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach (2019), Sanya Lopez (2020), and Chie Filomeno (2022).

GSMI is the producer of Ginebra San Miguel, the world’s largest-selling gin, according to the leading global drinks journal Drinks International. GSMI’s other quality distilled spirits include GSM Blue Light Gin, GSM Blue Mojito, GSM Blue Margarita, GSM Blue Gin Pomelo, Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin, 1834 Premium Distilled Gin, Antonov Vodka, Añejo Gold Rum, Primera Light Brandy, and the Philippines’ no. 1 Chinese wine Vino Kulafu.

Provocative Thriller “Bones and All” to Hold Philippine Premiere at QCinema International Film Festival on November 18 and 19

MGM Pictures and Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated provocative thriller “Bones and All” from director Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me By Your Name”) is set to make its Philippine premiere at the 10th QCinema International Film Festival, running from November 16 to 25 in Quezon City.

Watch the film’s extended trailer at https://youtu.be/4m4CmFXMtnU

The award-winning film starring Timothee Chalamet, Taylor Russell and Mark Rylance will have festival screenings on Friday, Nov. 18 and Saturday, Nov. 19 at The Block Cinemas - SM North EDSA, both at 8:00PM. Fans and cineastes are encouraged to grab this rare opportunity to watch the film ahead of everyone else. Tickets are priced at only P300 each.

“Bones and All” is a story of first love and a liberating road odyssey of two young people (Chalamet, Russell) coming into their own, searching for identity and chasing beauty in a perilous world that cannot abide who they are.

In September, the film held its world premiere in the 79th Venice International Film Festival where it received over eight minutes of standing ovation. During the festival’s awards night, Luca Guadagnino was honored with the Silver Lion for Best Director, and the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actress went to Taylor Russell.

Last week, “Bones and All” received two nominations in the 32nd Annual Gotham Awards -- Taylor Russell for Outstanding Lead Performance, and Mark Rylance for Outstanding Supporting Performance.

With an impressive 88% Tomatometer score at reviews-aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, “Bones and All” has become one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the year.

In its review, The Hollywood Reporter wrote “Guadagnino’s seemingly divergent interests in romance and horror have never come together quite so ideally as they do here, played out against a constantly moving canvas of small-town America.”

“It’s actors give you something to watch every minute,” praised TIME Magazine, while Entertainment Weekly described the film as “A born provocateur's faithful ode to a classic cinematic genre, only with human gristle between its teeth.”

Finally, Los Angeles Times raved “There’s real pleasure in `Bones and All,’ an insistent sweetness that somehow both nourishes and cleanses away the horror.”

About “Bones and All”

In “Bones and All,” first love finds Maren (Taylor Russell), a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee (Timothee Chalamet), an intense and disenfranchised drifter, as they meet and join together for a thousand-mile odyssey that takes them through the back roads, hidden passages, and trap doors of Ronald Reagan’s America. But despite their best efforts, all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and a final stand that will determine whether their love can survive their otherness.

Directed by Luca Guadagnino, “Bones and All” stars Taylor Russell (“Escape Room”), Timothée Chalamet (“Dune”) and Mark Rylance (“Dunkirk”). Based on the novel by Camille DeAngelis, screenplay by David Kajganich.

In cinemas across the Philippines starting November 23, “Bones and All” is distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Discovery company.

Drag Race PH's Marina Summers Brings the Heat in Sultry Single "Divine" Under Tarsier Records

Internationally-renowned Filipina drag artist and "Drag Race Philippines" first runner-up Marina Summers brings the heat this November with her debut single under Tarsier Records entitled “Divine.”

The dance-pop anthem celebrates the queer community and promotes taking ownership of one’s individuality while playing around with the summer theme and heavenly references. It’s a mix of dancehall and pop sounds with splashes of Latin guitar.

Tarsier Records label head Moophs produced the track while Marina wrote the lyrics and melody. Lines such as, “Gotta leave your fear behind. Kill the demons in your mind. Get baptized and keep it tight,” are sure to deliver a confidence boost to listeners.

Within three days of its release, “Divine” racked up over 23,000 views on YouTube and more than 20,000 streams on Spotify. Shortly after the song's release, Drag Race US superstar Alaska Thunderf*ck featured Marina's likeness in a backdrop during a performance; Marina reposted saying, "thanks wifey."

Marina performed her newest single live at the Divine Official Launch Party to a raving crowd in Empty Stomach, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) last Sunday (November 6). The event featured performances from fellow Tarsier artist Zion Aguirre and fellow Drag Playhouse PH queens Eva Le Queen, PRINCE, and ØV CÜNT.

Marina is one of the newest additions to Tarsier Records’ roster of artists. She performs regularly at Nectar Nightclub and is one of the founders of Drag Playhouse PH.

GMA Network Christmas 2022 SID: Love is Us This Christmas

GMA Network officially launches “Love is Us This Christmas,” a simple yet powerful 2022 Christmas Station ID (CSID) theme featuring Kapuso stars and personalities.

The much-awaited Kapuso holiday video was first seen last November 6 on All-Out Sundays which showcased the colorful ensemble of Kapuso artists and personalities bannered by Jessica Soho, Dingdong Dantes, Michael V, Heart Evangelista, Dennis Trillo, Alden Richards, Bea Alonzo, and Marian Rivera.

“It’s been two years of celebrating Christmas apart. We celebrated the happiest day of the year in our respective homes. Although the past holiday seasons were likewise joyful, remembering His birth while being together still hits differently. We’ll make up for it this year! We’ll make you feel our love and gratitude because we missed you all so much,” said the Kapuso celebrities as they open the station ID.

In the six-minute video, the faces of the Kapuso Network were seen setting up a Christmas party and opening their homes for merrymakers to celebrate the most joyous time of the year with their family, friends, and fans - something that they haven’t done in the past few years during the height of the pandemic.

Christmas station IDs have become an annual tradition for both GMA and the viewers. It encapsulates the network’s message of gratitude to the viewers for making GMA the Philippines’ leading broadcast network reaching millions of Filipinos through its growing list of 95 TV stations located nationwide.

Prior to the launch of the full-length 2022 GMA CSID, the Kapuso Network gave viewers and netizens a musical treat when it initially released the lyric video of this year’s newest holiday theme song.

“Love is Us this Christmas” was performed by Julie Anne San Jose, Christian Bautista, Aicelle Santos, Mark Bautista, Maricris Garcia, Garrett Bolden, Jeremiah Tiangco, Anthony Rosaldo, Thea Astley, Mariane Osabel, XOXO, Zephanie, and Vilmark Viray.

The jingle was composed and arranged by Ann Margaret Figueroa with lyrics by Emman Rivera and Jann Fayel Lopez.
