Abby Asistio helps raise awareness on Alopecia Areata

Since she was four years old, singer, songwriter and TV host Abby Asistio has been suffering from alopecia areata, an auto-immune skin disease resulting in partial or complete loss of hair on the scalp and the rest of the body.

“I went through a lot of tough periods in my life. Growing up, I accepted the fact that I could never meet that standards set by the world when it comes to beauty. If I were to even fit in and be considered normal, I must resort to hiding under hats, bandanas and my ever reliable wigs,” said Abby.

Abby lived through the entire process of experiencing hair fall: losing it little by little, and then deciding to shave it all completely. She even tried other hair loss remedies when she lived in the US for several years, including chemical-based products that have resulted in negative side effects. 

JC Regino Releases Debut EP

From watching his dad, April Boy Regino, do sold-out shows and huge concerts, it’s now his turn to show that “like father, like son” is true in all aspects. JC Regino has finally taking things on his own with a new self-titled EP.

It wasn’t his plan to become an artist even if the music genes was apparently passed on to him – tinkering with the guitar, piano, and the drums growing up. He was his father’s biggest fan; seeing crowds singing along, hearing massive radio airplay, plus TV and movie appearances. Seeing his father living the dream, JC tried to write his first song at 14 and asked his hitmaker father for some pointers. “Hindi nya nagustuhan,” quips the 23-year old singer-songwriter. That first attempt made the more determined JC to impress his greatest critic and finished “Hanggang Sa Dulo Ng Aking Buhay” and “Di Na Ako Iibig Pang Muli” both included in their father-son album, “Idolstar” in 2010. That was also JC’s first foray into the music scene and got more fascinated with the ins and outs of the industry.

Berta Rojas: Up Close And Personal

Full name: Berta Beatriz Rojas Benítez

Date of birth: September 23, 1966

Country of birth: Paraguay

Who are your favorite writers, composers?

The great composers of all time, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms….but I always felt a call to perform the work of Latin American emerging composers with whose music I fully identify. Edin Solis, Quique Sinesi, and Julio Cesar Oliva, whose works are included in my latest album "Salsa Roja" are clear examples. This album is true to my essence as a Latin American classical guitarist. In it I sought to explore rhythms and sounds of our America from living composers writing their music today and doing so with a beauty that is totally moving for me. Something similar happens to me with literature; I feel strongly attracted to the work of Latin American writers.

Nominations are now open for Chalk’s Bright Young Manila: The Campus Hotties edition, where candidates will be chosen for what they are set to bring to the world as well-rounded individuals who know that in as much as looks are important, personality matters and intelligence counts as well.

Nominees for BYM Campus Hotties must be bona fide students of UAAP, NCAA, or all-girl colleges.

Quark Henares' Rakenrol Out on DVD Now!

At long last, after 2 1/2 years of incessant demands from fans via Twitter and Facebook (and some direct mail threats), RAKENROL is finally out on DVD! The film is director Quark Henares (“Keka”, “’Wag Kang Lilingon”) and co-writer Diego Castillo’s (guitarist of Sandwich and music video director) ode to the Philippine rock music scene, which both consider their home. In it, Irene (Glaiza de Castro, Temptation of Wife, Amaya) and Odie (Jason Abalos, Endo, Mara Clara) are outsiders who become best friends because of their common love for rock n’ roll. Odie eventually falls in love with Irene, and helps fulfill her dream of forming a band. They recruit an ex-punk-turned-barista named Mo (Ketchup Eusebio, Guns and Roses, My Amnesia Girl) and the school bully Junfour (Alwyn Uytingco, Imortal, Ang Tanging Ina movies), deciding to call their band HAPIPAKS. In the process, Irene is wooed by her “all-time supercrush”, the famous rockstar Jacci Rocha (Diether Ocampo). Will Odie’s love for music and Irene prevail, or will the one thing that brought them together end up destroying them? The supporting characters add color and humor to the cast, with Ramon Bautista as the music video director Flame Tigerblüden, Ricardo Cepeda as a samurai marketing guru, Jun Sabayton as Mo’s artist roommate, Hiyasmin Neri as Junfour’s pregnant girlfriend, and Matet de Leon as... Matet de Leon.
