Filipina in Bangkok surprised by music icon Gary Valenciano in a digital concert for-a-cause

Jay Lyn Roma, an overseas Filipino in Bangkok, Thailand, had the surprise of her life when she unknowingly went on a video call with one of the Philippine music greats, Gary Valenciano. This was broadcasted as part of the latter’s digital concert “FAITH, HOPE, LOVE” for the benefit of Pantawid Ng Pag-ibig – ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation, Inc. (ALKFI)’s fundraiser that ensures food is brought to the urban poor families in the country affected by COVID-19.

“I am excited because this is the first time I am going to do something like this,” says Valenciano as he introduced the concept brought about by his wish to give honor to the unsung heroes that have risen above their personal ordeals during the pandemic. He continued: “Together with TFC, we decided to do a call to meet people I’ve never met before from three different places around the world. I think some of you will be very proud that despite not being here (in the Philippines), they are still very Filipino by heart.”

Garvy Valenciano For Diabetamil

The International Diabetes Foundation has reported that the Philippines has been named as one the world’s emerging diabetes hotspot having treated 3.2 million cases in 2014 alone. 

In its simplest terms, diabetes is a lifelong chronic condition that affects the body’s ability to use the energy found in food. For non-diabetics, the sugar and carbohydrates in the food are transformed into glucose, which the cells absorb in the bloodstream with the help of a hormone called insulin. Diabetics do not produce or do not have enough insulin in the body and therefore cannot absorb the glucose, which creates a build-up in the blood and often leads to more serious illnesses.

X Factor Analysis TOP 8!

I love singing competitions, and X factor is one of those that give way to many great singer/s. At first, I don't noticed the show, but since I get to see it on weekends makes me hooked into it. I came across the post of Kuya Carlo Yanesa, who is a music expert and a great singer himself as I can declare, I like to feature his two cents about his analysis on each of their performance.

Don't worry, I've asked for permission for this. And I wanted to share this because I agree with his opinions and there is also something more that we don't usually notice. He updates weekly, so I hope this would also be a weekly post just like Yonel's top 30 on MTL. Try to check them out and see if you also agree.
