History #LiveForever Expected To Be The Biggest One Direction Fan Event Ever

"You and me got a whole lot of history, we could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen."- History, One Direction

One Direction is far from over! Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam may be going on a much-deserved break but Pinoy fans are sure to keep the hype alive for the greatest band this generation has ever known. What better way to do it than to scream their love for One Direction together yet again this April 10 at Skydome, North EDSA for HISTORY #LIVEFOREVER, the grand Juan Directioners Fan Convention.

It was a few months back when the worldwide 1D community put their spotlight on the Philippines as Ivory Music, exclusive licensee of Sony Music in the Philippines, teased about another gathering that is sure to shatter records. It hyped. It trended. It sealed the fact that Pinoy Directioners are the loudest of all 1D crowds. And now it is happening and the entire world will be watching. Local Directioners will be gathering for the ultimate event yet, and it is not just an album launch for the deluxe edition of the band's latest record Made In The A.M. It is also in celebration of more than 5 years of non-stop One Direction music, a thank-you to the boys for inspiring their fans. It is, as usual, expected to be fun and outrageous, but this time it will also sit on nostalgia, with activities allowing Directioners to look back on the past years of their idols, including those eras when Zayn Malik was still a part of it all. It is going to have, as per Harry's words to our launch last year, love all round.

And even after all these years, the Galleon Trade has been linked to how Manila rose as a strategic location for trade and commerce. 


With centuries worth of tradition and precious items that were traded and shipped, it is no wonder that the Galleon arrival and departure is celebrated with music and festivities. The ties between Mexico of North America and the Philippines of the East linked the two hemispheres together and brought progress and knowledge to it benefactors. 

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL adapts Bill O’Reilly’s best-selling book on Lincoln assassination


Tackling a monumental event in American history, National Geographic Channel’s first original scripted drama “Killing Lincoln”, based on the best-selling book by controversial political commentator and TV personality Bill O’Reilly, will hit Philippine television on April 14, 2013. The film portrays the dramatic events that led up to the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 and reveals the mysterious motivations of its perpetrator John Wilkes Booth.

“Killing Lincoln” is a film produced by Ridley and Tony Scott’s Scott Free Productions and written by the Emmy Award-winning Erik Jendresen, writer for the acclaimed TV series “Band of Brothers”, who based his script on the book Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever co-written by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. “What people never knew, and what both the book and the film capture, is the great tale of action and conspiracy surrounding the manhunt for Booth. It is ultimately a fascinating story, and that’s what makes it the perfect fit for us at Scott Free,” said Scott.

FASHIONISTA: 75 Legendary Years of Ray-Ban


leading eyewear brand Ray-Ban is celebrating its 75th anniversary through its Ray-Ban Legends communication campaign.  Branded Lifestyle, Inc., exclusive distributor of Ray-Ban in the Philippines is spearheading initiatives that highlight the commemoration of Ray-Ban’s 75 remarkable years in the industry – from its historically relevant beginnings to its iconic status at the present.  

Ray-Ban Legends tells the history and the spirit of 75 years of being yourself and freely expressing your beliefs and personality. Since its creation in 1937 and up to the present day, honouring the values of authenticity and uniqueness constitutes the DNA of Ray-Ban.

Icons and legends of the past, present and future: this is the key message of Ray-Ban Legends. Shot by photographer Mark Seliger in California, the campaign frames seven legendary moments (one per decade), each inspired by a real life and particularly iconoclastic figure. Every character wears a Ray-Ban Icon. Each image evokes a specific story and is epitomized by the chromatic tones that are faithful to the relevant decade (black and white, sepia and, naturally, colour).
