The 23-year-old singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist releases his much-awaited album called GABRIEL. “I was reminded how fun making music is supposed to feel, and that it’s just as much listened to as its lyrics are heard. It’s an album that I hope is candid, varied, and one you can come back to again and again,” shares keshi.
With over 1.6 billion global streams, his rising success has been astounding. While the title GABRIEL isn’t related to anyone, in particular, it is a name that keshi personally likes and he believes naming an album is like naming your firstborn child. Adorable, right? In a press conference with select Southeast Asia media, keshi talks about his debut album, how the Filipino moms he’s worked with before might be proud of him, and a possible tour in SEA.

Launched in 2007 by the World-Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Earth Hour is a yearly campaign that encourages everyone to turn off non-essential lights as a nod to saving energy and helping the environment. Robinsons Malls has been a proud supporter of Earth Hour for many years and will continue to join its campaign of empowering people taking action on climate change and creating a sustainable future for all. Alongside its long-standing sustainability efforts, Robinsons Malls will also be launching a series of activities and events to enable shoppers to have a more meaningful celebration of Earth Hour.
Earth Hour Activities
All Robinsons Malls will be switching off non-essential lights from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on March 26, 2022. In addition to the hour-long tradition, Robinsons Malls will also be treating shoppers to an exciting Earth Hour Lights Show and Glow-in-the-Dark Parade at Robinsons Galleria, Robinsons Magnolia, and Robinsons Place Manila. Performers will regale the audience with LED light performances and LED drum beater parades guaranteeing a fun and eco-friendly evening for the whole family. Acoustic performers will also serenade al fresco diners at Unplugged and Live.
Various interactive installations and promotions will also take place across various locations, such as Robinsons Place Tacloban’s Earth Hour Trivia Wall, Robinsons Tagaytay’s Earth Hour Commitment Wall, Robinsons Place Palawan’s Eco-bag Giveaway, and Robinsons Place Ilocos’ Plant Giveaway. Several Robinsons Malls will also be hosting Earth Hour Neon Dance sessions, where customers can have fun dancing to the beat in neon and glow-in-the-dark accessories.
Robinsons Malls understands that going green is a journey, not a destination. “For Robinsons Malls, this is more than just an event or a one-time activity. We are in it for the long haul. We want our customers and partners to see that we are serious in our commitment to do our part in preserving the environment for future generations,” says Robinsons Malls SVP and General Manager Arlene Magtibay.
Sustainability Beyond The Hour
Robinsons Malls’ commitment to saving the planet goes beyond its yearly support of Earth Hour. It has been a pioneer in sustainable mall development and operations, as evidenced by its solar energy and water recycling programs that have been operational in several malls for many years.
Robinsons Malls has been working on initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint and increase the use of renewable energy. These include the installation of solar panels in over 20 Robinsons Malls nationwide, the availability of water conservation and recycling facilities, the incorporation of energy-saving features in the design of the malls, and various solid waste management programs.
Sustainability For All
On top of its large-scale sustainability initiatives, Robinsons Malls also continuously ensures that greener choices are accessible to the public. As such, all the malls are made bike-friendly and are equipped with facilities dedicated to cycling enthusiasts. Recycling fairs and eco-markets such as Locally Sourced are on a regular rotation to help make recycling a habit and to give its customers better access to fresh, locally sourced produce, respectively.
Earth Hour is just around the corner, so make sure to check out your nearest Robinsons Mall for a fun and eco-friendly celebration that the whole family can enjoy. For more information, check our Robinsons Malls’ social media pages.

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 and first-ever global 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.
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.

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.

Every day, millions of Filipinos go to sleep on an empty stomach.
In the Philippines, an estimated 2.5 million people reported experiencing involuntary hunger as of the third quarter of 2021.[1] Many lost their livelihood due to the pandemic and were challenged with making ends meet daily.
With these challenges, immediate and collective action is an imperative. In this regard, Globe, through its Globe of Good program, aims to provide a platform that can bridge multi-sectoral stakeholders and encourage collective action towards achieving sustainable and inclusive development for communities by leveraging the power of technology.
In partnership with the Ayala Foundation, Caritas Philippines, and Tzu Chi Foundation Philippines, the Globe of Good program intends to provide a holistic intervention focusing on hunger alleviation and livelihood opportunities to benefit vulnerable families. Through these partnerships, Globe also promotes employee and customer engagement by conducting fundraising activities to encourage them to contribute to these initiatives.
The digital solutions group intends to strengthen its ecosystem of partners to drive social impact and allow its multi-sectoral partners to connect with and provide holistic programs to disadvantaged communities through the power of technology. The program empowers stakeholders through digital volunteerism, value chain integration for smallholder farmers, sustainable livelihood initiatives, and employment opportunities.
“We aspire for Globe of Good to be a platform that will allow people to use digital tools to create social impact. We want to extend everyday acts of kindness to those in need, so that we can create wonderful and uplifting experiences for all Filipinos,” said Yoly Crisanto, SVP Group Corporate Communications and Chief Sustainability Officer at Globe.
Programs under Globe of Good include family feeding activities, skills training for micro-entrepreneurship and vocational courses, access to microfinancing for start-up businesses, and employment opportunities for skilled workers.
The Ayala Foundation currently implements the #BrigadangAyala Kaakay Program to support families of those who lost their jobs in Metro Manila during the pandemic starting with a 12-week supplemental feeding initiative. Likewise, Caritas Philippines has the Alay Kapwa Legacy Program to provide livelihood through Self-Help Groups for low-income communities in Visayas and Mindanao, in partnership with local dioceses.
Meanwhile, under its #TzuChiSeeds Program, Tzu Chi Philippines has organized the Davao del Norte Banana Planting Livelihood and the Zamboanga Youth Education to Employment projects. These are designed to strengthen and empower the capacities of affected individuals, families, and communities to become self-sufficient through education, livelihood creation and humanitarian assistance.
“As a technology partner, Globe brings together its ecosystem to push forward collective action. There is an urgent need for all of us to work together to ensure sustainable and inclusive recovery from the pandemic. For every Juan that we help and capacitate, there is a multiplier effect on his family, community, and the nation,” said Crisanto.
Globe encourages every Filipino who can help to be part of the ecosystem of impact.
In the spirit of bayanihan, customers can use their Globe Rewards points that are about to expire on March 31 to donate to the Globe of Good. For as low as 1 point, customers can help families put food on the table and contribute to sustainable community programs.
Customers can go to the Rewards section of the New GlobeOne app, click the “DONATE” icon, choose Globe of Good and the corresponding denomination you want to donate, and press “REDEEM.” A confirmation message will be sent by 4438 upon successful donation.

In case you missed it, there’s a new season of Bridgerton and if you haven’t seen the first season yet, what are you doing??? The show is based on the romance novel series by Julia Quinn and produced by Shonda Rhimes a.k.a. Shondaland. *SPOILER ALERT* In the season finale, it is revealed that Penelope Featherington played by Nicola Coughlan is Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews). Who is Lady Whistledown, you ask? She’s the town’s anonymous gossip-monger who shakes up the ton with her scandal sheet. Juicy, indeed!
In a roundtable interview with select media from the Philippines, we sat down with Nicola Coughlan who shares her journey as Penelope Featherington, Lady Whistledown’s reveal, her friendship with Eloise, and more. Read the full interview below:
What do you think that of all the characters to be Lady Whistledown, it had to be Penelope? What pushed her to write on the subject of the ‘ton and in a manner that she does?
Nicola Coughlan: I think there are a lot of reasons why she writes Lady Whistledown. She is someone who feels like she doesn’t belong with her family. She is quite shy so she doesn’t express herself in person because that gets in her way. She was used to going around her family that would constantly snipe at one another, and she couldn’t do that. So she internalized it and brought it into her words because she loves to read. And then I think, because the ‘ton loves it so much, that pushes her forward even more.
What are your thoughts on Penelope’s journey this season?
Nicola Coughlan: I was really excited to go back and play her because her being revealed as Lady Whistledown at the end of Season 1 really opened up her whole world and opened it up to the audience. I was excited to see how she got away with everything and how she collected all the information, got it to the printers, and all that stuff. Coming back in and knowing I was going to get to play that, was really exciting.
How different it was to play Penelope now that her identity as Lady Whistledown was revealed?
Nicola Coughlan: It’s different in a certain way but because I always knew she was Lady Whistledown, that was always in my mind. A lot of season one was about keeping it under the surface and keeping it a lot in her head. It created new challenges which was so much fun for her — being clever and tricking people, moving around London in the nighttime, and all that stuff.
How has Eloise and Penelope’s friendship evolved in this season?
Nicola Coughlan: I think their friendship evolves a lot because Eloise enters into society and Penelope hasn’t had a friend by her side before. I think she likes that she’s there as a friend but then it also creates issues. She needs to collect information at these balls in order to write Lady Whistledown so having Eloise constantly attached to her, creates a bit of tension. And also, there’s an element of her that she really needs Eloise’s praise.
The first season focused on Daphne and the Duke, the second season Antony and Kate, whose story would you want to see more for the next season? Would we see Collin and Penelope?
Nicola Coughlan: Who knows? I guess that’s a question for Shondaland. We’re lucky enough that we know were commissioned for four seasons which is such a rare and lucky thing to have. So I do know Collin and Penelope’s love story is coming within that.
What are your thoughts on gossip culture? Do you think it’s helpful or are you against it?
Nicola Coughlan: I think it’s a thing that we pretend we don’t like, but everyone loves to indulge in a little bit of gossip. It’s something about this time in history that women had so little agency over what they could do in their lives, that this was one thing they could really have control of and be the queens of this domain of gossip. So I totally get why it was such a thing but also, I think nobody’s immune to a good, juicy piece of gossip.
This season explores feminism deeply, especially Eloise. If you could share a piece of advice to women, what would it be?
Nicola Coughlan: I think you’ve got to put yourself first because women have a habit of thinking of everybody else before themselves. But ultimately, when they say on a plane, you’ve got to put your own oxygen mask on before anybody else’s? Apply that to your life because when you’re taking care of yourself, you’re better to be able to serve everyone and everything you’re doing. But you got to put yourself first.
What onset secrets can you share with us?
Nicola Coughlan: I’m always trying to be as comfortable as possible because the costumes are not terribly comfortable. So at any scene where I’m sitting down for a prolonged period of time, I will always try and wear Ugg boots underneath the dress. So you’ve got this beautiful Regency ballgown
Nicola Coughlan: We got given a gigantic bag with a “B” on it. I think if we tried to steal one of those costumes, I’d get in a lot of trouble. They’re not the most inconspicuous so by leaving with a giant yellow gown, I think they’d be like “no, no, no!”
