REP CAROUSEL stars share the thrill and weight of mounting one of musical theater’s masterpieces

 Karylle Tatlonghari and Gian Magdangal talk about the challenge of bringing ‘troubled’ roles to life

 


How does it feel being part of a restaging of one of Broadway’s iconic musicals? For the stars of the upcoming Repertory Philippines (REP) production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CAROUSEL, the opportunity is both a thrill and a responsibility. 

 

Sought-after theater leading man Gian Magdangal and singer, actor, and OPM royalty Karylle Tatlonghari, who are both headlining a REP show for the first time, have shared their experiences in the past months of preps and rehearsals. CAROUSEL is directed by writer, director, producer, and congressman Toff De Venecia.

 

“As theater actors, we are all just so enthusiastic to be given this chance to do what we’re passionate about. As for me, I couldn’t be any more grateful to be working with the best of Philippine theater,” says Karylle who plays Julie Jordan, a sweet yet naïve millworker. “I’m trying my best to keep up with them and it’s a great feeling because I’m learning a lot. My mind is expanding, and every inch of my body is excited and living in this beautiful moment. It’s been a personal rediscovery for me, too.”

 

“It has been an exhilarating experience, being reunited with theater friends and working with REP for the first time. We can’t wait to see what we have been preparing for the past months. It has been an out-of-the-box experience, and it feels like home at the same time,” shares Gian who plays Billy Bigelow, a swaggering and charismatic carnival barker. “There is simply nothing like live theater.”

 

A masterwork by the legendary theater-writing duo of Richard Rodgers (Music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Book and Lyrics), CAROUSEL’s original 1945 production won the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Musical, and was hailed by Time Magazine as the greatest musical of the 20th century. Its revivals picked up Tony, Olivier, and Drama Desk Awards, a testament to this R&H classic’s timeless and universal appeal.

 

CAROUSEL isn’t only a love story between Billy and Julie, it is also a moving tale that underlines the transcendent power of love and hope in changing the course of one’s destiny. It features some of musical theater classics like If I Loved You, June is Bustin’ Out All Over, and You’ll Never Walk Alone.

 

Toff de Venecia, who has a contemporary, self-aware, and socially conscious vision for REP’s comeback musical, has nothing but praises for the two leads and the rest of the ensemble who have all been dedicated in bringing the show to life in a way that feels right for today’s theatergoers.

 

“Gian and Karylle are both thinking actors. They keep me on my toes,” he exclaims. “We are discovering new things every day, and their viewpoints and commitment to their craft and the kind of story we want to tell bring a lot of gold and brilliance to the production.”

 

Now on its fifth decade of bringing acclaimed classics and original productions to Filipino theatergoers, REP has been consciously moving towards progressive, dynamic, and culturally relevant narratives—something that CAROUSEL is expected to concretize and kickstart.

 

The leads have also weighed in on this challenge and its impact on how they portray their characters. “You’re thinking it’s such a happy musical but if you dig deeper and read the lines, you’ll see that Julie is suffering so much. We are already in a mindset that what Julie is going through is something that’s happening in real life,” Karylle explains.

“Billy was such a troubled soul, but aren’t we all troubled souls at some point in our lives? But since we’re all different from each other, we also have different ways of coping with life’s challenges,” Gian emphasizes. 

 

Theater stalwarts Loy Martinez, Mikkie Bradshaw-Volante, Noel Rayos, Mia Bolaños, Roxy Aldiosa, Red Nuestro, Cara Barredo, Steven Hotchkiss, Paula Paguio, Roby Malubay, Gia Gequinto, Julio Laforteza, Kyla Rivera-Soong, and Czar Decena round out the ensemble.

 




Catch REP’s CAROUSEL from November 26 to December 18 at the CCP Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez. Tickets will be available through the CCP Box Office and TicketWorld. Ticket prices are ₱3,000 for Rows 1 and 2, ₱2,500 for Row 3, ₱2,000 for Row 4, ₱1,500 for Row 5, and ₱1,000 for Row 6.

#GirlsCan make a difference as World Vision culminates initiative for young Filipinas

As the world celebrated the International Day of the Girl last October 11, World Vision Philippines successfully mounted its #GirlsCan campaign which highlighted the need to support and empower girls for a brighter future. The advocacy was able to gain over 700 sponsorships since its launch last August, with the help of various celebrities, partners, and sponsors.




Multi-awarded actress and World Vision Ambassador Jasmine Curtis-Smith, together with Miss Universe Philippines 2020 candidate and fashion entrepreneur Ericka Evangelista and content creators Janina Vela and Lyqa Maravilla led in voicing out that empowered girls, empower girls.

The Women Business Council of the Philippines (WomenBiz) along with the other partners – Globe Kmmunity, Ever Bilena, Hello Glow, Lazada, Shoppee, Club of Marikina North Rotary, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Hera and Plus Network, made it big for the campaign. Adarna House pledged part of their sales to aid programs for girl empowerment.

Papemelroti paved the way for International Day of the Girl by offering an exclusive and personalized #GirlsCan articulated paper dolls as freebies when you visit their stores! You can collect the rest of the dolls each time you donate Php1,000 to World Vision’s #GirlsCan campaign.

Today, various issues surrounding girls in the country remain and violence against children is one of the major concerns, in fact there is an increase of 264% cases in online sexual exploitation. In education, over 2 million girls drop out from school while more adolescent girls get pregnant and give birth every day.

“Despite the many advances that we have achieved over the years in promoting the rights of children, unfortunately, there are a lot of issues still affecting girls around the world. The harsh realities faced by girls underpin the necessity for us citizens to advance their rights,” said Ms. Vanessa Retuerma, World Vision Director for Strategy Management, Impact and Learning.

While poverty remains to be the leading cause of these alarming problems, there are always ways on how to empower girls to break free. Just imagine what #GirlsCan do if we give them a better future ahead. They can be an influence for good and they can change lives.

Cadian Studios transforms storytelling into meaningful experiences through world-class production and content creation

Wednesday, November 2, 2022

 

Cadian Studios is currently making huge strides as a creative and media agency that pushes the boundaries of storytelling through innovative technology and music production.

Taking pride in working with established record labels in the Philippines (Viva Records, Warner Music, O/C Records) and Web3 brands in Singapore (Imaginary Ones and Imaginary Junior), the talented team of creative strategists, producers, art directors, and sound engineers stand poised in affirming its place with delivering world-class production and content creation.

To date, Cadian Studios has generated millions of earned online media impressions from content produced with brands and artists, something that its 27-year-old founder and CEO Ron Pangyarihan could attest.

“Our culture sets us apart from other creative and media agencies,” shares the budding entrepreneur, writer, and music producer. “It is the backbone of our company. Our culture of creativity and collaboration allows us to transform stories into remarkable experiences. We dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of putting our clients' ideas into world-class production to create stories that communicate and inspire.”

Aside from overseeing the development and creative executions of the company, Pangyarihan is also passionate about building things that make a positive impact. He writes and creates music for Color The Era, his solo project under Viva Records. 

While Cadian Studios had its share of challenges during its inception, the production agency is fortunate enough to be in a position that allows people to be the best version of themselves.

“One of the biggest challenges we experienced during our first few months was building a good culture from the ground up,” says the young CEO. “Culture impacts the continuity of a company the most. At Cadian Studios, we do not treat people as resources but as humans. Everything we do is a work of art so I know every single piece of content that we produce is made with our hearts. I believe the culture of creativity and collaboration will take us far.”

Few years from now, Cadian Studios aims to be on the frontier of creatives and media, hoping to build a legacy of reputable magnitude to cater to the needs of the industry, despite the ever-changing trends. “We want to work with the greatest storytellers and push the boundaries of storytelling by producing high-quality and remarkable content that impacts people,” Pangyarihan adds.

NEON16 in collaboration with WK Entertainment and Sony Music Latin announce “Ojala” by The Rudeboyz, Maluma & Adam Levine


Grammy winning Colombian artists/producers and Maluma’s long-time collaborators, The Rudeboyz (“Hawaii,” “Felices los 4,” “Borró Cassette,” & “Chantaje”), are stepping from behind the boards to become artists, tapping global Latin music idol Maluma for their debut single “Ojalá”, and turning it into their dream collaboration by adding superstar Adam Levine. The record is set to be released on October 20th paired with a video directed by Diane Martel via talent incubator NEON16 & Sony Music Latin.

Bryan Lezcano Chaverra, whose moniker is “Chan El Genio'' and Kevin Mauricio Jiménez Londoño, whose moniker is “Kevin ADG'' first met in 2008 while independently creating music. Shortly after becoming friends and frequent collaborators, the Medellin-born duo joined forces to become The RUDEBOYZ. The renowned duo has produced global hits and worked with world famed artists such as: Shakira, Arcangel, Yandel, Sech, Blessd, Rels b, Jennifer Lopez, Prince Royce, FEID, Sebastian Yatra, De La Ghetto, and Mau y Ricky, to name a few. 

The Rudeboyz recently signed to NEON16, the company behind crossover hits such as “Un Día (One Day) by Bad Bunny, Dua Lipa, J Balvin & Tainy, “I Like It,” by Cardi B, Bad Bunny & J Balvin, and “Summer of Love” by Shawn Mendes, and the global breakthrough of producer turned artist Tainy. Together they worked on developing the collaboration by tapping longtime Adam Levine collaborator J Kash who alongside Adam, The Rudeboyz and Lex Borrero crafted what would become “Ojalá.”

Earlier today, The Rudeboyz were invited to be panelists and discuss their transition from producers to artists at Spotify Casa Medallo in Medellin, Colombia to up & coming artists, producers, and media present at the event. They shared an exclusive peak of “Ojalá” to attendees, followed by Spotify amplifying the teaser across their social media. 

Adam's love for Latin music and culture grew over his many years touring Latin America. He had been looking for a record to merge his sound and voice with the feel and movement of Latin music. On Maroon 5's recent album JORDI, he collaborated with Anuel AA and Tainy on the track "Button" which sparked his desire to sing in Spanish on a Latin record, an opportunity that “Ojalá” provided by merging Maluma's sensual lyrics with Adam's iconic tone and melodies to create the perfect Latin pop record. 

Stay tuned for the release of “Ojalá” by The Rudeboyz, Maluma & Adam Levine on October 20th which will be available on all digital streaming platforms.

Allianz Global Wealth Report 2022 sees positive outcomes in financial asset growth and insurance coverage for PH

 

Leading global insurance brand Allianz has recently released its Allianz Global Wealth Report 2022, which compounds facts and figures based on the asset and debt situation of households in almost 60 countries, including the Philippines.

According to the report, 2019 to 2021 saw an exponential boom in the growth of global financial assets, with bullish stock markets powered by monetary policy and an increase in private wealth among households. Asia (excluding Japan), Eastern Europe and North America stood out as major contributors to asset growth, and savings were powered primarily by bank deposits, insurance and pensions.

However, the inflation crisis due to escalating situations in Europe seems to have stifled the global economic recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on current estimations, global financial assets are set to decline by more than 2% this year, making it the first significant decrease since the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis (GFC). The projected increase in the next three years stands at only 4.6%, less than half the growth experienced in 2019 to 2021.

Fortunately, the Philippines remains one of the stronger players in Asia Pacific when it comes to financial asset growth. According to Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Felipe Medalla, the Philippine economy is much stronger now in comparison to during the GFC. In fact, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 7.8% in the first half of 2022.[1]

Even amid rate hikes imposed by the US Federal Reserve System (US Fed) to combat inflation, Medalla stated the Philippine economy could remain stable, as long as appropriate policies are implemented.

Meanwhile, Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Benjamin Diokno agreed with the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) projection that the Philippines is expected to post the highest economic growth rate in the region, due in part to the reopening of the economy, domestic consumption, and infrastructure investment.[2]

In terms of gross financial assets, the Philippines has seen a 10.4% increase, primarily driven by the development of life insurance and pension assets. Insurance growth, in particular, rose by 13.0%. However, insurance penetration in the Philippines is still among the lowest in Asia.

“There is a massive need for financial protection and literacy in the Philippines, considering an insurance penetration rate of just around 2%. This translates to millions of Filipinos exposed to financial losses, and a protection gap that amounts to trillions of pesos,” said Allianz PNB Life’s Chief Financial Officer, Fang Siong Chong. “But as observed, Filipinos are gradually investing in insurance protection products. In 2021, the Insurance Commission reported the annual growth rate in premiums earned was at its highest since 2016 at 25.03%.[3]Whether it’s through the realizations made during the pandemic, or because a new generation of Filipinos are thinking more about securing their future, we are confident that the insurance gap will continue to diminish.”

As one of the leading insurance companies in the Philippines, Allianz PNB Life plays a major role in closing the insurance gap. It ranked Top 4 in terms of Gross Written Premium (GWP) and New Business Annualized Premium Equivalent (NBAPE) in 2021, and in the latest ranking by the Insurance Commission for the first quarter of 2022, the company rose to occupy the Top 3 spot for GWP and NBAPE.

Allianz PNB Life is also strong in its efforts to further improve financial literacy and access to financial services in the Philippines. Through Allianz Kaagapay, the company’s financial literacy education program, it is able to encourage financial wellness and inclusion among underserved Filipino communities. Participants receive free life insurance for one year to give them an appreciation for the importance of being covered. The organization is also well known for its Ride Safe programs promoting sustainable mobility in partnership with local government units and cycling advocacy groups. 

“The Asia Pacific region is a substantial value contributor to the Allianz Group. We at Allianz PNB Life proudly play a more significant role in the region given our success in realizing the immense potential of the Philippine insurance market” said Allianz PNB Life President and CEO, Alexander Grenz. 

With regard to the economic stability of the Philippines in the next few years, Allianz PNB Life echoes the optimism of the Allianz Global Wealth Report. “The Philippines is an emerging market with double-digit financial asset growth. Alongside the outlook provided by AMRO, as well as the commitment of the government to implementing measures and policies that will ensure that the Philippines will be able to carry itself through the current economic weather, I am positive that we will see a continued trend of growth financially within the country.”

Since 2019, Allianz has been recognized as the number one insurance brand in the world. As a leading insurance provider, Allianz PNB Life’s products and services are designed to meet the lifetime financial planning, wealth accumulation, and well-being aspirations of Filipinos.

CSMC bags top award for MIS training program at PMAP Awards 2022

 

Cardinal Santos Medical Center (CSMC) was recently awarded National Exemplar under the People Program of the Year category at the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) Awards 2022. The ceremony was held at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila on Oct. 14, Friday.

The award was given for CSMC’s exceptional training program under the Philippine Center for Advanced Surgery - Minimally Invasive Surgery Training Center (PCAS-MISTC). Prior to this, CSMC was already named Regional Exemplar in the same category. In 2016, the hospital bagged the Employer of the Year Award, making it the first private hospital to receive this accolade from PMAP.

The PCAS-MISTC is a world-class training center equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and staffed by leading medical experts in various surgical fields. It is the Philippines’ first, and only MIS training center, and its programs have been accredited by local and international organizations, such as the Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (ELSA), Asia Pacific Hernia Society (APHS), Asia Endo-Surgery Task Force (AETF), Philippine Association of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgeons (PALES), and Asia Pacific Endo-Lap Surgery Group (APELS). The center is headed by one of the leading MIS experts in the country, Dr. Alfred Allen Buenafe.

The PCAS-MISTC aids in nation-building by providing training opportunities for surgeons, particularly those who are based in the provinces. As a leader in the Asia Pacific region, the quality of training meets international standards, with foreign surgeons also attending workshops spearheaded by PCAS-MISTC.

“With much pride and great joy, we are extremely honored to receive such a prestigious award on behalf of our Caring Cardinal family. Yes, it is one of Cardinal Santos' own ways of contributing to nation-building in the Philippines,” said CSMC President and CEO, Raul C. Pagdanganan in his acceptance speech. “This award fires up our commitment to continue introducing innovations in healthcare and providing excellent training comparable to those in advanced countries to help make MIS and its benefits more accessible to a greater number of people across the country and the world.”

The PMAP Awards Program was established in 1977, with the goal of recognizing outstanding organizations and individuals that have made strides in the advancement and improvement of people management in the country. As an organization, PMAP helps members become effective people managers that are able to participate actively in nation-building. This makes CSMC’s win all the more significant.
