HANNAH’S BEACH RESORT IN SEARCH OF TOURISM AMBASSADORS AND MODELS

Trivia: Ano ang kauna-unahang beach resort sa may bandang Norte ang pinuntahan ng Superstar na si Nora Aunor sa una niyang pagbalik galing States?

          Sirit: Hannah’s Beach Resort & Convention Center na pag-aari ni retired Col. Ricardo Nolasco aka “Father of the Singing Soldiers” kung saan nakapag- “major-major” concert na ang mga ito  sa mga  bonggacious shows ni Jobert  Sucaldito sa Zirkoh Morato  na incidentally ayon  sa part-owner na si Lito Alejandria will be holding their 9^th anniversary on Feb. 28, 9pm with proprietor Allan K leading the caboodle of top electrifying and most sought-after  artists of showbiz  and TV shows  like Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Gladys Guevarra, K Brosas, Ate Gay, Kim Idol, Boobay, Le Chazz, Boobsie Wonderland, Osang, The Miss Tres,  Phillip Lazaro, Sexbomb dancers, etc.

          Si Jobert din ang nag-facilitate para madala ang La Aunor sa Hannah’s dahil number one fan pala ng Superstar ang mom ni Col. Nolasco.

          Tunay na malakas ang recall ng Hannah’s Beach Resort sa Pagudpud dahil naging place to go and hide momentarily for a real breath of fresh air ang resort na ito among showbiz folks including TV networks kung saan doon na rin sila nagte-taping.

 Kung inyo pang natatandaan ang Pagudpud ay siyang naging favorite shooting place ni Madame Armida Siguion-Reyna at ng kanyang anak na si director Carlos.

          Sa Pagupud beaches sinyut ang unang major tambalan nila Richard Gomez at Dawn Zulueta sa pelikula kung saan nabigyan ng malaking role si Richard Quan.  

          Last year naman doon mismo sa Hannah’s Beach Resort isinagawa ng PMPC (Phil. Movie Press ) ang kanilang taunang out-of-town excursion cum Team Building/ Sensitivity Session  sa pangungulo pa ng presidente ng Movie Press Club of the Philippines na si Roldan Castro (na sinundan ngyayon ni Miss “F”aka Fernan De Guzman on his second term) whose members ay napalapit na rin kay Col. Nolasco.

KRISTEL ATINEN

          No wonder na-dub as “Boracay of the North” ang Hannah’s  na named after Col. Nolasco’s teenage unica hija, definitely minus the pollution and the unsavory, big and small infractions caused by human failings.     

The good news is that Hannah’s Beach Resort is

in search of Mr.  & Miss Tourism Ambassador to give a dramatic if not a beautiful, and personable face to the hidden paradise of the North where one can jump into the longest zipline over water at 1.150 kilometers long.

          May cash prizes ito and of course with the chance to travel out –of- town in style and fun.  Those interested (male and female, 18 to 27 years old only) ay magpadala lamang ng kanilang brief resume with close-up and long shot photos sa email address: ludivinabacay@yahoo.com. Saan ka pa? Join na.

To recall, sa nakaraang "CONSLA @ 40: PILLAR OF GROWTH AND STABILITY"sa convention center ng  Boracay Regency Hotel kung saan si Col. Nolasco ang presidente ay pinuri siya ni Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr. ng Senate Committee on Bank Financial Institution and Currency dahil sa pangunguna ng CONSLA (Confederation of  Non-Stock Savings and Loan Assoc., Inc.) sa pagpapalago ng mga loan associations ng buong bansa.

RHONA MAY MERCADO'S STAR SHINES BRIGHTLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST COUNTRY

RHONA MAY MERCADO HRD SPECIALIST

The Middle East is no country for women, much less for an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) tulad ng artistang si Rhona May Mercado with the stylish letter “H” in her name to note that she belongs to the 80s, the second golden  era of  filmmaking na kinabibilangan ng dalawang naging  National Artists for Films tulad nina Ishmael Bernal at Lino Brocka.

Ikabit mo ang pangatlong dear departed great director na si Celso Ad Castillo kung saan nag- cameo role si  Rhona May sa obra ng una na   “Pinakamagandang Hayop Sa Balat Ng Lupa.” Rhona was twice the female lead of two movies “Lady Commando” and “Sintigas Ng Bakal” that she produced and starred in as well.

Now after 20  years of making a reputable name in Dubai and other parts of the Middle East  she’s back in the country to produce a movie from  the national hero’s novel “Noli Me Tangere” with her in a dream role yet as  Donya Victorina. Also to help resuscitate the comatose mainstream movie industry.

 Papano siya nag-survive and made a name in a country that looked upon women as second citizens? That in itself is worth making a movie about. Opposite to her Victorina role as pathetic high society’s sucker & slacker.

Joining the formidable ranks of men in the business world of Dubai was  not a walk in the park even as Rhona May had earned a license in Human Resources Management from Stonebridge Associated Colleges of the United Kingdom.

The degree coupled yet with the true grit of an ingenuous self-determined Filipino virtually making it in not so woman-friendly country catapulted her to one of the most enviable positions rarely assigned to women in United Arab Emirates  as HRD (Human Resource Development) Group Human Resources Manager of  Demat Group Hamriyah Free Zone- Sharjah Government with more than ten thousand employees under her, apart from being a business consultant to big-time foreign investors and to call on for succor  for Filipinos in difficult circumstances  with Arab laws.

So you cannot dismiss her now as “artista lang ‘yan.”

Rhona May who owns yet the signature Brooke Cendana line of wellness products is sought by another movie and stage actor/singer Jay-Ar Rosales who heads The Elderly - Friendly Awardees of the Phil. Foundation, Inc. (EFAP) and Live for Others Movement (LOM) as resource speaker in the launch of an inspirational book titled “The Power Of Duplication” written by the country’s top  business coach and mentor  Mr. Khyl Paredes to be held at the Pavilion Hall, 3^rd Floor, Great Eastern Hotel, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City on March 16, 2013 ( Sat. from 3:00 pm to 8:00pm).

A former movie star turned-woman of substance and influence in the global world of business is a tough act to follow. Now you understand if I say, “hindi lang siya artista.” She got big balls as well.

IYA VILLANIA THE COUNTRY'S BLUE WATER DAY SPA QUEEN

IYA VILLANIA

Mahirap makalimutan ang daring stunt noong nakaraang birthday ni Iya Villania sa ASAP ng ABS-CBN kung saan nag-air dance siya nang walang takot pababa at pataas doing a circus stunt sa hangin and against gravity gamit ang nakasabit na tela wrapped all around her  slithering body.  

At nag-split pa siya mid-ari, matuk? Kabog ang kayabangang ng mga pole dancers.

ALJUR ABRENICA

          Next time around breath of fresh air naman ang FHM beauty na si Iya as she interfaced with the media away from the kleiglights together  with Aljur Abrenica and model Ian Batherson endorsing the country’s top and most innovative if not most sought-after Blue Water Day Spa even among celebs, personalities and spa aficionados as well.   

Gamely nag-ala Anne Hathaway pa si Iya Villania sa pagsagot sa tanong kung ipu-promote ba niya ang ginagawa niyang  bagong soap opera sa kasalukuyan  na ayaw naman niyang banggitin ang  titulo nito, saying na “ipu-promote ‘nyo na lang.”   

IAN & IYA

Matatandaan na halos kapareho ang sagot ni Iya sa pabalang na sagot ni Anne Hathaway  sa ating kaibigan at  respetadong TV host/entertainment writer na si Ricky Lo ‘nung ni-request ng huli na i-promote niya ang “Les Miserables”   sa mga fans niya ( Best Supporting Actress nominee siya rito para sa Oscars this coming Monday)  sa ‘Pinas na curtly sinagot  ni Anne , “Promote it yourself…” Nag-ampalaya ba ang aktresang humahanga naman kay Lea Salonga?

  Hindi naman ganun ka-nega ang dating ni Iya coz nagpabiro lang naman siya actually sa harap ng movie press.

Papano naman mai-promote ang soap opera ni Iya Villania gayong ayaw naman niyang sabihin ang titulo nito? Bawal daw kasi.  After much heckling napilitan rin si  Iya sa pagsabing  additional character pala siya sa teleseryeng “Apoy Sa Dagat” nila Angelica Panganiban at Piolo Pascual. So there.

IAN BATHERSON

Tayming ang  pag-iindorso ni Iya ng Blue Water Day Spa lalo na ngayong nag-cross- over na siya finally sa  mundo ng teleserye from her morning talk show sa TV. Dramatic face nga siya as in  iconic endorser  ng BWDS, the only spa haven in the country(meron din sa Cotabato City) with upscale  theater that can accommodate at least 28 people at a time and features High Definition cinema projectors with Dolby Surround 7.1 sounds and watching Blue Ray movies habang ikaw ay pina-pamper ng kanilang highly-trained spa therapists.

Anong meron ang BWDS na wala sa iba? Sagot ni Iya, “ Among others,  ang latest offerings namin ay ang four new massage treatments designed by world-renowned trainor and teacher Ranjeet Kour, tulad ng Colonic, Eman’s, Infant Massage at  Pregnancy Massage para sa mga nagbubuntis.”  Saan ka pa?
