Of every shape and size But there are no underpants in space So here's a big surprise!

Silly, quirky and irresistibly fun, the show follows the aliens as they ransack the washing line on their search for pants – big and small, red or green. The love Grandma’s spotted bloomers, while Grandad’s long johns make for the perfect slide!

Louis Pearl - The Amazing Bubble Man

Louis Pearl, The Amazing Bubble Man has been thrilling audiences around the world for nearly 30 years with the art, magic, science and fun of bubbles. He has performed to more than one million people, including royalty and celebrities, in hundreds of cities around the world. He is also a favourite at the world-famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he returns this year for his eighth successive season.

Louis Pearl - The Amazing Bubble Man makes his first ever visit to Manila at RCBC’s Carlos P. Romulo Theater from 23 - 27 September!

From square bubbles, layers of bubbles inside bubbles, fog-filled bubbles, volcano bubbles to flying UFO bubbles and even people inside bubbles – The Amazing Bubble Man is set to enchant adults and children alike with his unique blend of skill and humour.

With infectious enthusiasm, The Amazing Bubble Man explains some fascinating facts about bubbles, bringing science to life and into the realm of fun. As well as exploring the dynamics of bubbles, The Amazing Bubble Man conjures shrieks of laughter and gasps of amazement from all ages.

This wondrous 75 minute show combines breath-taking artistry, colourful music, plenty of audience participation and enough spellbinding bubble tricks to keep all ages entranced. Louis Pearl says of his show, “The kid in everybody gets excited. The audience connects with what's happening onstage at a pre-verbal place. There's so much joy."

Producer James Cundall, Chief Executive of Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, says “I saw Louis Pearl’s Amazing Bubble Show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and was absolutely mesmerised. I had no idea you could do so many amazing things with bubbles!”

“I went to talk to Louis after his performance about touring internationally – I thought ‘if a producer with 25 years in the entertainment business can be blown away by bubbles then surely people all around the world will be amazed by this incredible show too.’”

Louis Pearl, The Amazing Bubble Man is produced by Concertus Manila and Lunchbox Theatrical Productions in association with Louis Pearl.

Platinum Karaoke introduces its “BIRIT” Ambassadors

Platinum Karaoke, makers of high quality and high definition karaoke machines and accessories perfect for every home, recently launched its two new exciting products MAJOR HD10 and BRAVO together with the introduction of two very talented “BIRIT” ambassadors at a fun and lively event recently held at the Luxent Hotel in Quezon City.

An amazing brand that is sure to bring about fun and enjoyment just like how the event turned out, Platinum Karaoke offers thousands of songs, high-definition video and images, very affordable and up-to-date upgrade, and excellent sound quality. 

Introduced during the affair were the two new Platinum Karaoke models. The first is the HD Wireless Bravo which boasts of excellent high-definition sound, quarterly song updates, multimedia playback, multiple HD video backgrounds and is highlighted by over 6,600 OPM and English Songs, among others. Bravo also has a remarkable portability feature as it comes with its own carrying case that can be taken wherever, whenever. It has high-resolution image and background videos of nature, international MTVs and clips as well as animated 3D characters.

The MAJOR HD-10 Karaoke, on the other hand, is not just a karaoke system but a full entertainment package in itself. MAJOR is equipped with high-end specifications which include dual core processor, 1 TB Hard Disk Drive storage, creating a reliable and very powerful karaoke player. MAJOR prides itself with innovative multimedia functions that enable the user to play, store, edit and copy any media files in the karaoke player acting as a media console at the same time. 

Platinum Karaoke also has its own advanced recording studio to program all songs as close to the original. Every high-end and mid-level unit is programmed with live-recorded background vocals and the Training Song Technology, which is an automatic function wherein pre-recorded vocals are played to guide the user on the right vocals and tone to hit as the song plays. The brand is likewise definitely all about fun and happiness and the chosen ambassadors are indeed the epitome of both -- Vice Ganda and Angeline Quinto.

As Platinum Karaoke aims to provide millions of Filipinos locally and all over the world high definition music and entertainment, the brand has chosen Vice Ganda, being a versatile and total performer with comedic 

nature, and a trendy recording artist. Vice Ganda indeed well-represents the unique features and benefits of Platinum Karaoke - high definition at ‘Bonggang’ sound.

He quipped with delight, ‘I am very happy to be chosen as one of the brand ambassadors of Platinum Karaoke for many reasons. First, I believe in the product as I personally have one, and actually use it at every fun get-together at home with family and friends.’ 

Vice Ganda happily added, ‘To my amazement, their song list is more updated than the Karaoke bars and with sound so superb that even my non-singing friends suddenly sounding like pros! Secondly, karaoke-singing is very close to what I truly love doing which are SINGING and having FUN! But more importantly, I am sharing this delightful endorsement with someone that is almost a sister to me, my good friend Angeline Quinto!’  

As a champion singer, Angeline Quinto is Platinum's confident choice to embody its high-definition features. Aside from having one of the most beautiful voices in the country, she is also a talented actress. She continuously strives to be better in her craft, just like how Platinum innovates and releases new models that will fit the needs and lifestyle of Filipinos.

Angeline shared with the audience, “It's a privilege for me to be chosen as one of the brand ambassadors for Platinum Karaoke because even before I entered the industry, talagang kumakanta na ako using the karaoke. Dati kailangan ko pa magbayad para makakanta sa karaoke, pero ngayon meron na akong Platinum at brand ambassador pa!’

She added with excitement, ‘Very significant ang Platinum Karaoke sa career ko kasi malaki ang tulong sa akin nito sa pag-aaral ng mga kanta. Minsan, hindi ko na kailangang humingi ng study materials dahil using my own Platinum Karaoke, naaaral ko na ang mga ito at the convenience of our home. Saan ka pa?’

Truly, Platinum Karaoke is the only choice for both Vice Ganda and Angeline Quinto. With thousands of songs more than what its competitors provide in the market, you get to “Birit Pa More” with their two new products, and two amazing and inspiring performers. 

Platinum Karaoke is available in all leading music stores nationwide. For more information, please visit www.platinumkaraoke.ph, like The PlatinumKaraoke in Facebook and follow Twitter and Instagram accounts @platinumkaraoke.

Reef, the US’ top name in surf and sand apparel, has launched a new collection of shoes and sandals. Featuring Reef’s Swellular™ Technology, the collection will be presented in time with the premier of “Surf 7107-La Union,” a documentary following the lifestyle of Filipino surfers in San Juan, La Union. As part of Reef’s Just Passing Thru campaign, here’s more about their groundbreaking new shoes and sandals this summer

 



 

1. What is Reef presenting today?

 

We’re presenting our new Rover Collection, a nod to the brand’s Just Passing Through mentality. This is a new line of men’s and women’s footwear designed with a traveling surfer in mind. The collectiion also showcases Reef Swellular™ Technology in our footwear. We’re also hosting the premier of Surfing 7107, a documentary on the surfer lifestyle here in the Philippines.

Reef Swellular™ Technology is built around three layers of innovative material: a super-soft, contoured Swellular foam deck, providing instant comfort, a medium-density Swellular midsole for long-lasting support, and Reef’s signature Swellular high-density rubber outsole featuring an ocean-inspired aesthetic, providing traction, protection and durability.The Outsole is an example of Reef’s commitment to form and function, with treadpatterns that mimic lines of ocean waves and ultimate comfort, support, traction,and versatility.3.

4. What is Surf 7107 about? What makes it special? Surf 7107 is about surfing in the Philippines, and how much surfing has impacted lesser known places around the country, and has turned these places into booming and burgeoning surf destinations and tourist havens. The first of hopefully many documentaries, it starts in La Union where the first ever surf school in the country was born.

There is a market for surf brands out there, and it's getting bigger and bigger. Here's hoping that this Reef-produced documentary changes things, and brings Reef into the forefront as the leading surf brand out there.Reef is a surf brand that not only cares about surfing and the lifestyle that goes with it, but also cares about the communities it helps and touches through surfing competitions, events, and environmental activities. This is the call to action of this documentary produced and supported by Reef Philippines.

5. How is the documentary related to Reef?

 

Reef is all about the Surfing lifestyle.  The documentary shows just that, how a little known town in La Union has grown to be a tourist and surfing destination, how surfing has helped the community with jobs as surfing instructors, how local business has sprouted with resto-bars, surf shops, and surf schools, and how support from brands such as Reef can mean a lot to a community bornn from surfing.

 

THE BEGINNING

 

Reef's twenty-eight year heritage traces back to two brothers from Argentina, Fernando and Santiago “Santi” Aguerre. Fueled by their passion for surfing, and armed with a unique entrepreneurial spirit, the brothers acted on an idea to create a high quality, active lifestyle sandal. Attracted to the Southern California lifestyle, Santi moved to California in the early 80’s and would shortly be reunited with his brother. Fernando graduated from Law School, and headed to La Jolla to help co-found Reef. With $4000 working capital, hard work, dedication and some savvy marketing ideas, the brothers built Reef into the #1 sandal brand. Reef's official Birthday, recognized as “Saint Reef” day is Monday November 26th, 1984 – the day of the first sandal factory trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil. 

PRODUCT

 

In 1985, Reef introduced the Striped Smoothy, a super soft and comfortable sandal with a nylon strap and large Reef logo on the heel. The bold striped colors and casual, comfy footbed made it an instant classic. Sales of the sandal exploded as the brothers invested in their first advertisements – an image of the sandal embedded in an exotic island scene. The Smoothy is still in the line today, and is one of the best selling Reef sandals of all time. Now twenty-five years later, the company is thriving as one of the leading surf brands in the world offering authentic and innovative footwear and apparel for guys and girls. Expanding from staple every day beach sandals to becoming a leader in major comfort and novelty innovations, Reef has evolved from its humble sandal beginnings. The range now includes a men’s apparel division launched in 2003, followed by the launch of girl’s swimwear in 2008.  Reef also recently launched Reef Redemption; a program intended to lessen our footprint on the Environment. Reef Redemption initiatives thrive through a product series using green technology, our culture of giving and our was founded on by Fernando and Santi back in 1984. Reef is a core surf company. We create authentic, comfortable and innovative products intended to inspire the surfer in all of us.
