Outstanding young entrepreneurs recognized at PHINMA’s RVR Siklab Awards 2023

Young and brilliant entrepreneurs were celebrated and honored at the Ramon V. del Rosario Siklab Awards, a joint initiative organized by PHINMA and the De La Salle University (DLSU) RVR College of Business. The awarding ceremony was held on July 25, Tuesday, at The Fifth at Rockwell Events Hall in Makati City.

The honorees of this year’s RVR Siklab Awards came from diverse fields. The list includes Ralph Ray Chua, the Chairman of Immuni Global Inc., whose flagship product ImmuniPlus uses ingredients sourced from local farmers in rural and coastal areas. The second honoree, Stephen Co, is the founder of Nipa Brew Craft Beers which creates craft beers inspired by local flavors. He is also the co-founder and CEO of Worth The Health Foods which develops healthier protein alternatives of classic Filipino meat dishes. Finally, Anya Lim, founder of ANTHILL Fabric Gallery, completes the list for uplifting weaving communities by preserving local weaving traditions and incorporating it into everyday wear.

Notable attendees present at the event were Maria Teresa Zeller, Director of PHINMA, Inc., Victor del Rosario, Director of PHINMA Corp., Jose Mari del Rosario, President and CEO of PHINMA Microtel Hotels, Inc. and PHINMA Hospitality, Inc., Miguel del Rosario, President and CEO of Toon City, and Br. Bernard Oca, FSC, President of DLSU and co-chair of the RVR Siklab Awards Board of Judges.

Also present were recipients of the Ramon V. del Rosario Award for Nation Building Ambassador Jesus Tambunting and Senen Bacani, and 2019 Siklab Awardees Melissa Yeung-Yap, JB Tan, and Gary Ayuste.

The RVR Siklab Awards was launched in 2018 to commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of the late Ambassador and PHINMA Founder Ramon V. del Rosario, as well as the PHINMA Group’s 60th anniversary celebration. Del Rosario was considered an icon in business and diplomatic service as he became the first Filipino General Manager of IBM Philippines, the first Filipino Executive Vice-President of Philam Life, and ambassador to Canada, Germany, and Japan.

As such, the RVR Siklab Awards aims to recognize young entrepreneurs between the ages of 25 to 40 who embody the ideals of its namesake and have proven to be exceptional leaders in their fields through sustainable enterprises that empower and uplift the lives of others.

Out of the 100 entries received this year, only three were chosen as standout winners. Aside from receiving a trophy, cash grants worth Php 50,000 will be provided to the honorees in support of their communities, as well as mentorship opportunities from seasoned entrepreneurs and business professionals within the PHINMA network, including winners of the RVR Award for Nation Building.

“We are quickly seeing the rise of a new crop of business leaders and nation builders, and I believe it is appropriate that we who have the benefit of more experience and knowledge strive to empower this next generation of entrepreneurs to help them reach their full potential,” said PHINMA Chairman and CEO and RVR Siklab Awards Board of Judges co-chair Ramon R. del Rosario Jr.

“Our hope with the RVR Siklab Awards is that the efforts of these young businessmen and women are given their due credit, allowing them to take pride in what they do and earn the confidence they will need to transform our society for the better,” he added.

Watch EXO’s Doh Kyung-soo play an astronaut stranded in space in ‘The Moon’

Doh, who debuted as a member of the K-pop group EXO, is also known for his acting work, such as in the films My Annoying Brother and Along with the Gods, and the popular TV series 100 Days My Prince.

In The Moon, a gripping, epic action adventure and one of the most highly anticipated films in Korea this year, Doh expands his acting spectrum by playing a lone Korean astronaut stranded on the moon. His character, Sun-woo, is a former SEAL member and molecular physics major who joins the Narae-ho space program in Korea. He boards the spacecraft in pursuit of his father’s unrealized dream but unexpectedly becomes the sole survivor of the expedition due to an unforeseen accident.

The young actor shares that he joined The Moon because he found “the script to be excellent and wanted to challenge myself in expressing weightlessness with my body.” He adds that he hopes to vividly convey the various emotions that Sun-woo experiences, from the awe of setting foot on the moon for the first time to the fear of being left alone in the vastness of space and the unwavering determination to survive.

It looks like Doh has nothing to worry about, because he’s already impressed his director. Director Kim Yong Hwa, reuniting with Doh after their successful collaboration in the Along with the Gods movie series, states, “Doh Kyung-soo possesses a gentle persona while also having a very intense face. I thought that through the character of Hwang Sun-woo, we could showcase his hidden passion and determination, providing a fresh impression.”

In The Moon, Korea’s first manned mission to the moon ends in a tragic disaster when an explosion occurs on board. Seven years later, a second human spaceflight is launched successfully but a strong solar wind causes it to malfunction. One astronaut Sun-woo (Doh) is left stranded in space. Facing another fatal catastrophe, the Naro Space Center turns to its former managing director Dr. Kim (award-winning actor Sul Kyung-gu, known for Silmido, Peppermint Candy, Public Enemy and most recently, Kill Boksoon) to help bring Sun-woo back home safely. The film also stars Kim Hee-ae, most recently known for The World of the Married and Queenmaker.

Opening in Philippine cinemas August 16, The Moon is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Connect with the hashtag #TheMoonMoviePH

Director Ben Wheatley talks about why he wanted to helm “Meg 2: The Trench”

Ben Wheatley is known for directing horror, but his best-known work include the quiet sort of horror from psychological thrillers like “Kill List” and thrilling mysteries like “Rebecca” – as opposed to screamfests such as “Meg 2: The Trench.”

“There’s something very blue-collar about all of it, the nuts and bolts, and they’re not superheroes,” Wheatley told Total Film magazine in 2021 of the characters of the “Meg” movies. “Even though they do quite outlandish stuff, there’s a vulnerability to them, which is exciting. There’s something about the superhero genre where, much as I enjoy it, as it gets bigger and bigger and bigger, there’s problems with the way they’re just invulnerable. That lessens the tension. I like human risk. That side of it is interesting to me.”

More than the characters, Wheatley is also all praises for the casting because the international makeup of the cast reflects back the nature of global scientific ventures. “Our cast is based around the realism found in the world of science,” says Wheatley in another interview. “Usually, an oceanic research group would be pulling the best people from all over the globe, with a mix of people from everywhere.”

Wheatley is also known for the dark comedy and action in some of his films, and with “Meg 2” starring Jason Statham and global action icon Wu Jing, expect plenty of heart-pounding action! Jason Statham is always keen to do as many of his own stunts as possible, and about Wu Jing, Wheatley shares that at one point while filming an explosive sequence, Jing volunteered to have a camera strapped to him to get an up-close shot of the actual explosions. Wheatley explains, “We did that a few times with Wu Jing and it always turned out well. It really puts the viewer into the action when you do that. He was always ready to do anything, and never a complaint. I think he could break his leg and he’d still be going, ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’”

Watch “Meg 2: The Trench,” opening in Philippine cinemas August 2.

About “Meg 2: The Trench”

Dive into uncharted waters with Jason Statham and global action icon Wu Jing as they lead a daring research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal Megs and relentless environmental plunderers, our heroes must outrun, outsmart, and outswim their merciless predators in a pulse-pounding race against time.

Jason Statham and Wu Jing lead an ensemble cast that also includes Sophia Cai (“The Meg”), Page Kennedy (“The Meg”), Sergio Peris-Mencheta (“Rambo: Last Blood”), Skyler Samuels (“The Gifted”), and Cliff Curtis (“Avatar” franchise).

“Meg 2: The Trench” is directed by Ben Wheatley (“In the Earth,” “Free Fire”), from a screenplay by Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber (“The Meg,” “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”) and Dean Georgaris (“The Meg,” “Lara Croft: Toom Raider – The Cradle of Life”), and a screen story by Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber, based on the novel The Trench by Steve Alten. The film is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura (“The Meg,” “Bumblebee”) and Belle Avery (“The Meg,” “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”), and executive produced by Jason Statham, Cate Adams, Ruigang Li, Catherine Xujun Ying, Wu Jing, E. Bennett Walsh, Erik Howsam, Gerald R. Molen and Randy Greenberg.

In Philippine cinemas starting August 2, “Meg 2: The Trench” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Discovery company.

Catch The Beatles Legacy 2023 World Tour By Javier Parisi At Hard Rock Cafe Conrad on July 27

Hard Rock Café is proud to present “The Beatles Legacy 2023 World Tour” with popular performer who looks and sounds just like John Lennon, Javier Parisi. It will be held at Hard Rock Café Conrad on JULY 27. Show starts at 9 pm.

Parisi, who is not just an impersonator but a professional interpreter, was born in Argentina. Growing up, he was deeply influenced by The Beatles, creating his first tribute band to the “Fab Four From Liverpool.” From playing at small venues, they later staged gigs at better-renowned stages carrying out a musical, vocal and scenic recreation of The Beatles.

Javier and his band were invited to perform at the “Beatles Annual Convention In Liverpool, successfully toured South America captivating audiences with their great physical and vocal performances. In 2017, they performed at the mythical “Luna Park” Stadium, the most important dome in Argentina, making the entire audience vibrate and thrill.

Javier received proposals from UK to work in Europe, prompting him to master the accent from Liverpool, working with vocal coaches and studying courses on make-up and body gestures just like John Lennon. He started performing solo acoustic presentation in Argentina, occasionally backed by a band.

In 2018, Javier got in touch with Helen Anderson, the distinguished designer who created the classic leather caps for John Lennon throughout his career. Javier bought one of the limited-edition designs from Anderson via Instagram who posted Javier wearing the cap. Julian Lennon, John’s son, leaves a comment. “I love him!”

After that high-level exposure, Javier was invited to impersonate John Lennon for a musical play in Liverpool, England. His popularity soared in Europe and Argentina. He performed several acoustic shows throughout United Kingdom,at the “Summer Fest,” “International Beatle Week” and the Annual Beatles Convention, where he completed very successful performances. Javier was also chosen to recreate two characters (Norberto and Lennon) for a new film called “Lennons” directed by José Cicala. In April 2022 Javier was invited to perform at Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded their albums. In May 2022 Javier, he was part of one of the biggest Beatles events in the world, called “Helsinki Beatles weekend”. And in June 2022, Javier shot a version of “Give peace a chance” recorded originally in 1969 by John Lennon. The filming was in Ourense, Galicia, Spain.

Catch Javier at Hard Rock Café and relive the glory of The Beatles and the legacy of the legend, John Lennon.

UNIQLO Launches “Chainsaw Man x Kosuke Kawamura UT” Collection

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of the “Chainsaw Man x Kosuke Kawamura UT” collection from its graphic T-shirt brand UT (UNIQLO T-shirt), on Monday, September 4. Chainsaw Man is a TV anime produced by MAPPA, based on the manga series by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The story depicts the battles of Denji, a young boy Devil Hunter, who as he is dying makes a deal with the “Chainsaw Devil” and is resurrected as Chainsaw Man. The anime received a tremendously positive response immediately after its broadcast. This special collection, a collaboration with collage artist Kosuke Kawamura, dynamically and elaborately reconstructs the world of the anime.

A limited collection with a fresh take on the Chainsaw Man world

This UT collection of all-original designs brings together Chainsaw Man, a mighty hero who wields a chainsaw as he takes on enemies, with Kawamura’s “cut and rebuild” style. The lineup of men’s T-shirts is comprised of nine styles. For the graphic designs, Kawamura takes the original anime drawings and scenes, and gives them a new expression using his distinctive shredded art and collage style. In addition, both the short and long sleeve T-shirts have a street fashion style oversized silhouette jointly developed by Kawamura and UNIQLO. The striking art shines through, while a focus on ease of wearing completes this formidable collection. Kosuke Kawamura said: “I used a lot of the original anime art and scenes for this collection. Since the drawings are very detailed, it was easy to expand the range of ideas as design material, and I was able to try various collage styles and methods. Even in the rough original drawings, the pictures themselves are well finished, and I felt that they could be used as-is for T-shirt designs. My aim was to create designs that long-time fans of Chainsaw Man could enjoy as something a little different, and that people unfamiliar with the anime would want to wear as well.”
