MUSIC LYF Daniel Live: A Birthday Concert

Daniel Padilla's Birthday Concert at Smart Araneta Coliseum

Daniel Padilla goes beyond shows, movies, and mall tours with the biggest event of his life, his birthday concert that will be held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Yes, you heard it right, Araneta. For a young lad who will turn 18 this April 26, it is indeed a very big achievement to have his own concert in the big dome at a very young age. The concert will happen on April 30 (my Birthday) and it as much as he would fill malls and tours, it will not be hard for him for a full house. 

We do expect that his loveteam partner Kathryn Bernardo will be there and he will be singing songs from his certified Platinum Album. Himig Handog favorite "Na Sayo Na Ang Lahat" will definitely be one of the most expected song for that night.

Turn up the heat, turn on the fun, and share the summer goodness with everyone!

Celebrate summer with Nestea RTD

Summertime, and the living is easy, and nowhere is summer living easier than in the Philippines. With PAGASA predicting that the heat can go up to 35˚C, it’s now the time to look for the hottest things to cool you down for the season.

Plan a trip with friends and family – with numerous holidays and long weekends coming up, now is the perfect time to take advantage without dipping into your bank of leaves.

Explore new activities. Be adventurous and go for a hike, camp in the forest, climb a mountain, or better yet, learn a new skill. Because summer time is family time, it’s the chance to bond and catch up with the whole family, while recharging your brain cells too.

Start exercising. It’s never too late to get a beach-ready body, especially in a tropical country. Look for fun activities that will keep you interested, and update them regularly. This lowers your chances of getting bored, and increases your body’s resistance as well.

‘Killing Lincoln’ premiere on National Geographic commemorates President Lincoln’s death anniversary

National Geographic Channel has set the Philippine premiere of its first original scripted drama, “Killing Lincoln,” for April 14, 2013, marking the 148th anniversary of the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln. Narrated on camera by Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks and produced by Ridley and Tony Scott’s Scott Free Productions, the film is a two-hour masterpiece that dramatizes what is considered to be one of the most significant events in American history.

Based on the best-selling book Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever that was co-written by political commentator and media personality Bill O’Reilly and author Martin Dugard, “Killing Lincoln” recounts the last days of President Lincoln at the close of the American Civil War and exposes how John Wilkes Booth, a popular Shakespearean actor and staunch Confederate supporter, conspires to kill him and subsequently bring down the Union government. On April 14, 1865, President Lincoln went to Ford’s Theatre with his wife Mary to see a play and was shot down at 11 PM by Booth, who jumped down from the theater box, made his way to the stage through the panicking crowd and shouted, “Sic semper tyrannis!” But how could he commit such a terrible act?
