Gloc-9 goes indie with “Dungaw”

After 22 years, seven studio albums, three EPs, and two decades of iconic hits, rap icon Gloc-9 is shifting gears and going independent.

And the song “Dungaw” featuring Keiko Necesario is the best song to do it with.

Known to work with different voices and perspectives in his songs, this time around Gloc-9 speaks in the voice of an unnamed man, confused about the visits he was receiving, wondering about the moment the song captures. As the song unravels, so does the story of this man’s life, the choices he had made, the ones that led him to this point.

But the final punch is in the song’s culmination, when a final visitor allows him to ask a battery of painful questions. Why does suffering continue for many? Why are certain sins not forgiven? Why do the wealthy get away with anything? Why is there privilege, and why is there poverty?

“Global Pinoy Idol New Zealand” honors heroic acts of OFs in Asia

Eventgoers also get to join and learn from the life and financial coaching happening before the main program

Nowadays, our lives pass by quickly that we find it hard to just stop and take a moment to look at the people around us: Does that group of tourists need directions? Does the old person at the corner shivering because of the cold or due to hunger? Does that child quietly cry for help?

But there are people, like some overseas Filipinos, who despite the everyday challenges of living abroad, still find time to lend a helping hand. These are the overseas Filipinos that ABS-CBN Corporation hopes to recognize through the “Global Pinoy Idol New Zealand.”

Bb. Pilipinas Universe Gazini Ganados is the newest Face of Bluewater Day Spa.

Beautiful, articulate, confident, one look at our reigning Bb. Pilipinas Universe, you'd wish that you also have "got it together". But unbeknownst to many, there's a lot of hard work entailed, not just in preparing for a beauty pageant but more so after you've won the crown and are now given much higher expectations.

There's also constant comparison among peers, pressure from the public to always look gorgeous no matter where you are and how you're feeling, basically be at your best self 24/7.

So how does a queen like Gazini do it?

Because as stress is basically a normal part of life already, queens like Gazini opts to face all these with a good attitude and positive mindset. Coupled with healthy eating and regular exercise, making time for herself and her loved ones are a must even with the super hectic schedule she leads. Part of the weliness habit is having her 'me' time at her favorite spa, BlueWater Day Spa. Making time to indulge in wellness and pampering treats like the Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Traditional Filipino Massage to detox and soothe her tired muscles from a full week of engagements is something she looks forward to.
