DIET TALKS WITH LANCE RAYMUNDO...


LANCE. MY, OH MY!
LANCE SEXY

LANCE WITH GYM MATES

LANCE'S BULBS SHINES

LANCE'S LIVEWELL MEALS DIET



IT'S SO RARE FOR AN ACTOR TO BE KIND, SOFT-LOVING, WARM AND OVERWHELMING.

IT'S SO RARE FOR AN ACTOR TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME WITH YOU, DRINKING COFFEES, MILK TEA'S AND DELICIOUS LUNCH MEALS AT TERESITA'S RESTAURANT.

IT'S SO RARE FOR AN ACTOR TO ACCEPT YOU AS WHAT YOU ARE. NEVER COMPLAINING, NEVER QUITTING, AND CONTINUES TO BATTLE ON AS YOUR FRIEND.

IT'S SO RARE TO FIND A DIAMOND AMIDST ALL THE GROUND FIELDS.

AND YOU FOUND JUST "ONE" LIKE THAT.

HIS NAME: LANCE RAYMUNDO.




(FAST-FORWARD):


Over a large glass of Strawberry Milk Shake at Bubbles Tea restaurant in Tomas Morato, handsome actor-singer Lance Raymundo revealed to us his amazing diet meals. Through sips, stares and smiles- he just did as that.

"I have this so-called LiveWellmeals diet", Lance revealed to his blogger-friend. "Actually, it's a custom-made diet that being provided by LiveWellmeals people. They will be the ones who will prepare the right calorie meals for you. Puede kang mag-request sa kanila what you need. Like for example, may mga bawal na pagkain sa iyo o kaya you want to have a calorie intake limit. Sila magpe-prepare nu'n for you. Naka-set na yun at darating sa house mo ang complete 3-meal-course for the whole day. Wala ka nang iisipin pa."

Fabulous. Simply fabulous. This kind of diet meals is very sufficient for celebrities who are conscious of their figure. What a way of enhancing one's complete meal diet.

"It's very appropriate for people who's always on the go", Lance continued saying. "People who also follow a certain kind of diet. People who are busy, too. It's very affordable, too."

You can find the contact numbers of LIVEWELLMEALS, according to Lance, on his FB wall. He always posts there the meals he's taking for the whole day.

"We all want to live long", Lance further said. "And it's a big obstacle to people when you find your self sick. Kahit hindi ka artista, investment mo ang pagiging physically fit mo and healthy. We all must take good care of our body, not just by exercising or being sports-oriented- but also by taking the proper meals or diet."


REWIND:

AMONG OUR ACTORS OF TODAY, LANCE PROJECTS THE BEST AURA OF PROPER GROOMING, HEALTH-WISE LOOKS, PROPER DECORUM AND BEING "PHYSICALLY ENDOWED". AND PEOPLE MUST KNOW THAT. HE LIVES THE BEST KIND OF A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

NO WONDER, HE WAS CHOSEN TO ENDORSE TWO HEALTH PRODUCTS- THAT IS, LIVEWELLMEALS AND MEGA-C CAPSULES. 

IT'S A MISSION FOR LANCE TO DO JUST THAT. TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE. AND TELL THE WORLD THE GOOD BENEFITS OF BEING A HEALTHY PERSON.

KUDOS, LANCE RAYMUNDO!

DEREK DEE
SEN. MIGUEL ZUBIRI


DEREK DEE FINALLY SEES THE LIGHT OF DAY. HE MAY HAVE GOTTEN TIRED, BUT HIS FIGHT FOR A CAUSE CONTINUES TO BATTLE ON. AND NOW, THROUGH SENATOR MIGUEL ZUBIRI'S CHARITABLE ACT IN PUSHING THE REGULATION OF DRUG PRICES, WITH MEDICINES FOR BREAST CANCER AND HEPA-C INCLUDED-, DEREK SAYS: "THIS JUST THE BEGGINING".

DEREK, WHO IS AN ARDENT ADVOCATE FOR THE CURE OF HEPA-C, BY TELLING TO THE WHOLE, WIDE WORLD THAT THERE'S NOW A MIRACLE DRUG THAT CAN CURE HEPA-C, IS INDEED VERY HAPPY FOR SENATOR ZUBIRI'S FIGHT FOR REGULATION OF DRUG PRICES.

THE MIRACLE DRUG FOR HEPA-C, KNOWN AS THE "HARVONIL" DRUG SOUNDED EXPENSIVE TO POOR PEOPLE SUFFERING THE HEPA-C SICKNESS. AND THAT'S WHAT DEREK IS NOW FIGHTING FOR. HE WANTS THE POOR PEOPLE TO AVAIL OF THE DRUG ALSO.

IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW YET, DEREK GOT THE "HEPA-C" SICKNESS A FEW YEARS AGO AND IS NOW TOTALLY CURED OF IT BECAUSE OF THE HARVONIL DRUG.

DEREK IS AN ACTION STAR IN THE LATE 1990'S, GOT MARRIED TO BEAUTY QUEEN MELANIE MARQUEZ AND IS NOW SUPPORTING THE MODELLING CAREER OF HIS DAUGHTER TO MELANIE- SARAH MICHELLE DEE. DEREK AND MELANIE GOT SEPARATED MORE THAN TEN YEARS AGO.

DEREK IS A WARRIOR. AN ANGEL-WARRIOR FOR ALL HEPA-C SUFFERERS. AND HE WILL NOT STOP!

"Zubiri to push for regulation of drug prices
Meds for breast cancer, Hepa C will be included"

Sen. Juan Miguel F. Zubiri said he "is seriously considering amending the Quality and Affordable Medicines Act with the creation of a Drug Price Regulatory Board to reduce prices of drugs in the country which has one of the highest prices in the world".
"Our direct experiences show how medicines are generally out of reach of the ordinary citizens. Imagine millions of poor Filipinos foregoing treatment because they cannot buy the drugs." Senator Zubiri co-chairs the Joint Congressional Oversight Committee on Quality Affordable Medicines.
"We cannot continue with business-as-usual. We should regulate prices. There is just no other way about it, if we want to make drugs affordable. We shall regulate prices, in addition to aggressive government importation, pooling of purchases of small drugstores to avail of discounts, and stocking rural health centers with low-cost drugs," Zubiri explained.
"The Committee will seriously look into the opportunity to buy low-cost drugs from China, India and Singapore. We will also ensure that we get the expanded list of drugs to be covered by the Maximum Drug Retail Price (MRDP) program."
Zubiri recommended, and to which Dept. of Health Sec. Paulyn Jean B. Rosell-Ubial agreed, to adopt the list of medicines proposed by patient groups, for the following: for cancer, end-stage renal disease, biologics for psoriasis & lupus, vaccines for pneumococcal & flu, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, asthma & COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
With personal testimonies of Senate employee Realyn Garces (breast cancer stage 2-A) and actor Derek Dee (Hepatitis C), Senator Zubiri recommended the addition of drugs for breast cancer and Hepatitis C.
"We shall get the expanded list by July 27 this year and the Oversight Committee will strictly monitor the implementation of MDRP Phase 2," Zubiri stressed.
Sen. Zubiri was one of the original authors of Republic Act No. 9502 or the Quality and Affordable Medicines Act. "Our original bills recommended the creation of the Drug Price Regulatory Board. It disappeared in the final version. Now, it will be back in the amendments we will consider."
"For medicines, the free market competition doesn't work for the welfare of the people. Free competition can work for luxuries, but, it has no place for drugs which is a life and death issue. Especially for the poor who can't buy medicines despite PhilHealth, guarantee letters in government hospitals and limited free drugs from the Department of Social Welfare and Development."
The Committee meets once every quarter, but will consider more meetings as needed and demanded by consumers and patient groups, Sen. Zubiri said.
Major drugstore chains, the Dept. Of Trade & Industry, Food and Drug Administration, Pharmazone-Philippine International Trading Corp., Intellectual Property Office and the Board of Investments also participated in the hearing.

angelo falconi: nag-trending ang twitter post nung ayusin ang buhok ni Presidente Digong


ang nag-trending sa viral world na pagpapaayos ng buhok ni Presidente Digong kay Angelo Falconi

sina Presidente Digong, Honeylet at Angelo Falconi. Si Honeylet talaga ang inaayusan ni Angelo, hindi ang Presidente.

Mismong mga FB Pages pa ni Presidente Rodrigo Duterte at iba pang Social Networking Sites nito ang nag-grab sa Twitter Post ng hairdresser na si Angelo Falconi ukol sa naging usapan nila ni Presidente Digong habang inaayusan niya ito- na kung puwede silang mag-selfie together, at hayun, mismong si Presidente Digong pa ang nag-aya kay Angelo na mag-selfie sila!

Kaka-touch, di ba? Siyempre, hindi na namin ika-Copy-Paste 'yung mga nasa links ng sites ni Presidente Digong dahil magiging monotonous na ang dating. Basta ang masasabi namin, proud talaga kami sa kaibigan naming hairdresser na si Angelo Falconi sa mga accomplishments niya sa kanyang professional life lately.

Gusto lang linawin ni Angelo, inayos lang niya ang buhok ni Presidente Digong- sinuklay-suklay at blinower. Yun lang. Pero sa second wife ni presidente na si Honeylet, si Angelo mismo ang nag-aayos dito sa tuwing may okasyon. Kaya suwerte talaga ni Angelo and he felt so privileged na siya ang napili ni Honeylet na mag-gupit, mag-ayos, mag-style at magkulay ng buhok niya.

Kasalukuyang nasa Vietnam ngayon si Angelo, in line with his being an Ambassador for L'Oreal, to further his knowledge in Hair Coloring. Lahat ng mga bumibisita kay Angelo, super satisfied sa nagiging resulta ng kulay ng mga buhok nila, (LALO NA ANG BLOGGER NA ITO).

More power sa iyo, Angelo Falconi!

lahat ng magagaling na hairdressers, nasa ness astilla salon na!

mr. bobby arevalo, iya silguera phillips,  arlene sunio, and other hairdressers of ness astilla salon at work!

ms. arlene sunio: one of ness astilla's excellent staff


Mga bagets pa kami noon, nakasama ko na sila. Una kaming nagkakilanlan noong ako'y Publicist pa ng pamosong hairdresser na si Ricky Reyes. Lahat kami nuon, mga ineng pa, hindi makabasag-pinsan.

Pero ngayon, kami'y mga "Woman of the World" na. Yung iba nasa 40's na, samantalang ako ay nasa early 50's na. Pero feeling namen, hindi kami tumatanda.

Sila ang mga hairdressers na magagaling, na ngayon ay nasa Ness Astilla Salon na. Yung iba, nasa Puregold Shaw Blvd. branch ng Ness Astilla salon, yung iba naman ay nasa Libertad St., near corner Edsa naman. At 'yung iba, nasa Del Monte Avenue branch.

Hayan si Samantha, kilala na 'yan, lalo na ng mga artista. Magaling din siyang "showgirl".

O kaya, si Loida Valencia Salazar na paborito ni Mimilanie Laurel Marquez na taga-ayos ng buhok niya.

O kaya, si Iya Silguera Phillips na pagkakamalan mong isang tunay na Diyosa ng kagandahan dahil mukhang babae talaga.

O kaya naman, ang paborito naming si Arlene Sunio dahil kay galing nitong mag-blower ng aming buhok. Kabisado na niya ang strands ng aming hair.

Nandiyan din si Bobby Altamirano, ang manager ng Puregold branch na laging nakangiti sa mga bisita.

Marami pa sila, 'yung iba, hindi na namin maalala ang mga pangalan, pero tunay na nakasama namin sila sa pagdaloy ng panahon, magmula pa nuong bago-bago pa lang kami sa pagsusulat sa showbiz.

Bisitahin ninyo ang magagaling na hairdressers na ito sa anumang branch ng Ness Astilla Salon. Tiyak namin, sulit ang serbisyong iaalay nila sa iyo.

Si Mama Ness, na kung mahal ng karamihan din sa showbiz world, ay hindi nagbabago....

Magpakailanman.

don gordon bell photographs the cast, staff and crew of "way of the cross"...



"I really enjoyed working on WAY OF THE CROSS, meeting so many talented people, young in mind, spirit, and body...Heck, I was the oldest old fart on the set. I had to work hard to keep up, stay awake, and get my shots. Crazy schedules and hard work but everyone, experienced and new, became a Team as days went by. It is teamwork that makes it all happen and like a family we got it done. ..... And I would like to add that this is 100 percent Filipino and 100 percent Hollywood in a cooperation that was amazing. The top staff of Gward, led by Direk Gorio R Vicuna worked together with Executive Producer Tony Anthony Diaz IV and DOP Ab Garcia to produce a hybrid. Hollywood MUST adapt to the realities of shooting on location in any country. They have come here over the years BECAUSE of the excellence of Filipino film-makers in all depts. NO labels necessary, but this will be an exciting film to see. Post Production will take place here and in Japan where Kaizen Studios are based. Currently, the Opening sequences are being readied for shooting on location in Las Vegas! CONGRATS to all of TEAM WOTC!"--- from DON GORDON BELL's own words.

JOBERT WITH HIS SON CARLO


"It's been quite a time na hindi ako nakapag-Facebook dahil nagkaproblema sa FB provider ko kaya sobrang miss ko kayong lahat. Anyway, kahapon (May 7) at 2 PM ay first hearing namin para sa sandamakmak na kasong isinampa sa akin nina Erik Santos and Erickson Raymundo ng Cornerstone sa QC Hall of Justice - sinamahan ako ng anak-anakan kong si Boy Romero. After a while, I realized kung gaano ka-ungrateful ang showbiz dahil here are two of the rare netizens of the industry na sobrang natulungan ko pero ito lang pala ang nakamtan ko in the end. Iba pala talaga pag yumaman na at natuto na sa negosyo - imagine, ang pinaghirapan kong broadcasting career sa DZMM for more than 10 years ay nakaya nilang yanigin. Magtu-2 months na akong suspended indefinitely - ganoon sila ka-powerful dahil balitang merong isang mataan na opisyal ng ABS-CBN na ayaw sobra sa akin at gusto akong matanggal sa istasyon. 

Wala akong magagawa dahil maliit na sundalo lang ako ng kompanya - how do you fight the gods, aber? Pero one day, magkakasingilan din kami - that's for sure. Pinaralyze nila ang pagka-broadcaster ko kaya pinag-leave ako with PAY para di sila sumabit gayong wala naman akong violation sa DZMM. Imagine, nagpapasuweldo sila ng tao kahit hindi nagtatrabaho? Some people would say na buti pa ako sumusuweldo kahit naka-leave pero di nila alam na strategy ng kompanya iyon (especially that big fish ng network na ayaw pala sa akin) para pilayin ang kaparngkahan ko sa radio. I am not resigning - inuulit ko I AM NOT RESIGNING dahil wala akong atraso sa inyo! 

And I have an existing contract with DZMM until December of 2017. Kilala ko na kung sino kayong pinagtutulung-tulungan ako at lahat ito ay pagbabayaran ninyo pagdating ng tamang panahon - even if this means death for me. Nakatawa kayo ngayon pero ipagluluha ninyo ng dugo ito pagsapit ng sinasabi kong panahon. Nakakadiri ang mga taong ito - kung magmalinis parang ganoon-ganoon na lang pero di-hamak na mas marumi pa sa putik. Huwag ako!!!!!! Pag nagpa-presscon ako one day, baka hindi ninyo masuwag. Magkasubukan tayo! Basta ako, I had been a good soldier pero masyado niyo na akong sinasaktan. I am not fighting the network dahil I am not the type who bites the hands that feed me - yung mga taong involved lang sa fiasco na ito ang tinutukoy ko. Ilang linggo na akong dumadaan sa depresyon though di lang halata dahil dinadala ko lang lang maayos - pero ilang baldeng luha na halos ang dumanak sa mga mata ko - at titiyakin kong pagbabayaran ito ng mga taong involved one day. 

Sino ang magdedemanda sa akin ng grave threat ngayon - wala akong pinangalanan huh! Blind item na maliwanag na naman ito. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ikaw na mataas ang posisyon sa ABS-CBN, alam mong ikaw iyon! Kapal ng mukha mo! Masyado kang nagmamalinis pero wala kang kasing-dungis. Mas marami ka pa yatang lalaki kaysa sa akin eh. Tingnan natin kung di tayo magkakabukuhan one day. At ang husay mong dumiskarte ha - pasimple mong ininegosyo ang kompanyang pinaglilingkuran mo. Wala kang kakuntentuhan. Kung matagal pang darating ang KARMA mo, I will serve your KARMA straight to your face. Palaban na ako ngayon - bakit ako tatahimik? Kung kinakailangang humarap ako sa ethics committe ng ABS-CBN para silipin ang mga kabulastugan nila gagawin ko. Kilala niyo naman ako - I am very straight and maipagmamalaki ko sa kanilang lahat na matino akong trabahador. That's all for now. Ciao!!!!"---- JOBERT SUCALDITO

"kahit bata ako, i appreciate kundiman songs"-- reymond agbada

reymond: cute and handsome

reymond and his "4-S barkada"

reymond and his guitar: friends forever (SPECIAL PHOTO CREDITS FOR THIS PICTURE: MS. TRIXIE DAUZ)


Sobrang enjoy para kay Reymond Agbada ang Summer of 2017. Very memorable pa at the same time dahil sa Summer na ito ng 2017, dalawang beses siyang nag-shooting para sa indie film na Sinandomeng (isa sa mga film entries sa darating na TOFARM Film Festival).

"Kumanta po kami ng puro Kundiman songs doon sa two shooting days ko sa pelikulang iyon", bungad na kuwento sa amin ni Reymond nang minsang pasyalan namin siya sa radio program na Sama-Sama, Salo-Salo ni Tessie Lagman sa DZRM. "Pero suoer-enjoy naman ako! Ganun pala sa shooting, ang daming tao. Saka po, puyatan pala sa shooting. Buti na lang, kasama ko ang 4S barkada namin nina Tita Tessie. Wala kaming ginawa kundi ang kumanta at kumain at maglibot doon sa location area nila sa Laguna."

Hindi alam ni Reymond, may isang blogger na nago-obserba sa kanya du'n sa dalawang shooting days niya. Sa kamera pala, napaka-telegenic ni Reymond. Ang guwapo-guwapo ng mga shots niya sa nabanggit na pelikula habang nanggi-gitara siya at umaawit. Tipong artistahin talaga.

"Open din naman po kasi ang mind ko when it comes to acting", patuloy na wika ni Reymond. "Pero basically, ang first love ko po talaga ay singing. Nagkataon lang na napasama akod ito sa pelikulang Sinandomeng, hayang tuloy, medyo nag-enjoy din ako sa pag-arte. maski hindi naman po ako umarte dun sa pelelikula kundi kumanta lang. Hehehe."

In case you don't know, si reymond ay kumakanta na ngayon sa mga 5-star hotels, minsan nagpi-piano rin siya. He has his own name and following na rin. Pero mas lalo pa siyang nakikilala ngayon dahil sa inaabanagan na siya palagi ng mga tao sa programang Sama-Sama, Salo-Salo, tuwing Sabado ng gabi sa DZRM radio station. 

"Naririnig kasi nila akong kumakanta doon sa programang iyon ni Tita Tessie", wika ni Reymond. "Dalawang ulit na beses po akong pinapakanta roon. Kaya siguro, dahil doon, mas nakikilala ako. Kaya nagpapasalamat talaga ako kay Tita Tessie."

Ano naman ang masasabi ni Reymond sa mga Kundiman songs?

"Kahit bata pa ako, I appreciate Kundiman songs", sagot ni Reymond. "I find it very interesting. Ang rapa pang kantahin. Feeling ko, nagiging ganap na Pilipino ako kapag umaawit ng Kundiman song."

Abangan ang tuluyang pag-arangkada ni Reymond sa daigdig ng pagkanta, at malay mo, sa pelikula rin. May ibubuga naman kasi siya.

lance raymundo, may isang pelikula sa TOFARM film festival


lance: out to do a new film project

lance: quenches your thirst

lance: jumping for more


Since hindi na natuloy si Lance Raymundo papuntang Paris, France para samahan ang kanyang mga magulang sa actual Fatima shrine (Lance's parents are both deeply religious people), malamang na matuloy na siya sa gagawin niyang pelikula na isa sa mga film entries sa darating na 2nd TOFARM Film Festival sa buwan ng Hulyo. Nagkaroon kasi ng problema si Lance sa kanyang Visa papuntang Europe, kaya ang fallback position niya ay tanggapin na lang 'yung pelikulang inaalok sa kanya ng kanyang manager na si Shandii Bacolod- ito ngang pelikulang No Place Like Home, na isa sa mga finalists ng Tofarm Film Fest. Ang pelikulang ito ay mula sa direksyon at panulat ni Joseph Abello.

"The story of the film centers around two elder people", wika ni Lance sa isang blogger. "And I will play one of the important characters in the film. Malamang na any day now, magpunta ako sa Bicol region to shoot the film."

Hindi kasi matanggihan ni Lance ang manager niya na nuon pa nagsasabi sa kanya na gumawa na ulit ng pelikula. medyo nagkaroon kasi ng break si Lance sa paggawa ng mga indie films magmula nuong amg-portray siya sa isang Senakulo sa papel na Hesukristo. Maraming offers na kinailangang masakripisyo, lalo na mga film projects, when Lance opted to portray the role of Jesus. Pero ngayong matagal nang tapos ang Mahal na Araw, bumalik na rin si Lance sa mga ordinary showbiz activities niya like TV guestings, hostings, modelling, endorsing health products, and others.

Pati sa looks ni Lance, ibang-iba na rin.

"My hair is shorter now and my body went slim", dagdag na sabi ni Lance. "It went back to its original shape, hindi tulad nuong nagpo-portray ako ng kristo, nagulat ako sa katawan ko- parang bulky na bulky at iba ang form. I found it strange, Now, it went back sa pagiging lean and athletic lang,."

Plano din ni Lance na makagawa ng isang teleserye bago matapos ang taon. Gusto niyang maging very visible sa TV.

'Na- miss ko rin ang mga teleseryes", sey pa ni Lance. "They say that doing a teleserye is quite stressful and time-consuming. But I guess, nasa tamang time management lang 'yan. Me and my manager are now both working-out for my possible inclusion in a teleserye very soon."

The real Lance Raymundo naman kasi is an easy-going guy lang, and fun to be with. But he knows how to be serious when a situation calls for it.

"Yes, that's the real Lance Raymundo for me", pagtatapos na wika pa ni Lance.
