Gelli only has good words for Bayani. “I enjoyed shooting the movie with Bayani. There was never a dull moment while making Pansamantagal. Bayani lives up to his name. He is a comic hero. Kahit pagod na ang lahat after a day’s work, may energy pa rin siya to lighten up the mood with his jokes. Chill lang siya during our shootings. That is why working with him was a breeze.”    

Meanwhile, Bayani invites the public to watch their latest movie. “Inaanyayahan ko kayong lahat na manood ng Pansamantagal. Ito ang pelikulang magpapakilig at magpapatawa sa inyo ng sabay. Kapag nanood kayo, sinisiguro ko na ang pansamantalang katatawanan na hatid ng tandem namin ni Gelli ay magtatagal sa inyong alaala. Magaang katrabaho si Gelli dahil madali siyang kabatuhan ng mga linya.”

#GirlPowerinTech: ILO-organized forum proves that #WomenCanDoIT

Women face a lot of challenges in the workplace, more so if that woman is in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (or STEM).  Traditionally, STEM sectors are dominated by men but through the years, and with the advancement of technology, it is now ripe for women to be part of it not only as employees but as decision-makers, as well. 

This will be proven by the International Labour Organization (ILO) as it organizes a forum which will gather four women leaders along with a number of relevant public and private stakeholders in STEM sectors.  The forum, a few days before the International Women's Month, also marks the United Nations International Day of Women and Girls in STEM.  It is organized by the ILO Women in STEM Workforce Readiness and Development Programme with the support of J.P. Morgan and in cooperation with the Embassy of the United States in the Philippines and American Spaces-Philippines. 

The Lego Movie 2 The Second Part - Is Everrything Still Awesome?

The second part of the Lego Movie is now here yet there has been some reservations on how it pared with the first one which got high reviews. But looking at all the lego movies that we had in the past few years, we enjoyed the movies as it was both fun for kids as well as adults.

The new Lego movie brings together the main master builder gang of Unikitty, Lego Batman, Wyldstyle, Benny, Metalbeard, and Emmet. But they face new enimies from the Duplo universe and the Sistar System. Both aliens in trhe world of Lego, it becomes a cute yet challenging war for them which shook their worlds.

This new chapter brings in new characters like Queen Wathever Wa'Nabi, General Sweet Mayhem, and Rex Dangervest (who is voiced by Chris Pratt as well), and a more expanded universe and also follows the real life lives of their owners. As it also mirrors reality like the first one, it tries to be a little mature as well with a moral that everyone will learn. However it still keeps the child-friendly charm and comedy which makes it fun to watch.
