Pop-rock Diva Gigi De Lana Reveals Her Secret Hopes and Dreams

$

PRESS RELEASE - MANILA – If there’s one reward that Gigi De Lana would love to receive from all her hard work as the fastest-rising singer and musician today, it is certainly not something material. 



“I’m very thankful for all the good things that have been happening to me lately, but that one thing that will make me be truly at my happiest is seeing my mom healthy and happy and live a longer life,” Gigi confided to the media in her online launch event as PLDT Home’s ambassador. “My mom is battling stage 4 breast cancer, and she has been my inspiration and motivation to pursue my dreams.”

From being the frontwoman of viral YouTube cover band The Gigi Vibes, Gigi, at 26, is fast becoming local entertainment's next big star. She recently released her self-titled debut album under Star Music and made her feature film debut as Love Mae in Four Sisters before the Wedding in 2020.

Yet, Gigi considers being busy and swamped with work a blessing. She calls this career take-off the start of a fulfilled dream, one Mommy Imelda has long prayed for.

“My mother has a lot of dreams and hopes for me. I want to make at least some of them come true. And I want to prove to her that she has been right all along to believe in me even before anyone else ever did. She dreamed I’d make it big one day, be seen on huge billboards and all that,” Gigi revealed.
And so, Gigi’s role as PLDT Home ambassador was another welcome blessing for someone who’s built her career around fast, strong, and interactive connections online.

“So, imagine how happy she was when I told her the news that I am now a PLDT Home ambassador! It was a dream come true for both of us and it felt very rewarding,” Gigi added. 

Having just successfully released her first single “Sakalam”, Gigi has never been busier, having just released her album a few months ago. She’s just thankful that on most days she can work from home with her band and spend quality time with her mom.  

“You know, it’s not an exaggeration to say that the connection my mom and I share is as strong as PLDT Home’s internet service. We always try to connect online even when I’m away! She’s the sweetest! She makes it a point to support me by buying me clothes online and catching my band's next livestream! Thanks to PLDT Home,” she gushed. Gigi De Lana and the Gigi Vibes weekly YouTube live show is powered by PLDT Home Fiber’s lag-free and seamless internet connection. 

Gigi wishes to spend more years with her mom. She prays that Mommy Imelda gets to see her fulfill all their dreams together, including singing for a teleserye, appearing on a billboard, and starting a family. She hopes to do more things with her—eating out, traveling, shopping, more traveling and shopping!
For now, Gigi sees to it she spends quality time with family no matter how busy her career gets. It’s one of her non-negotiables and one that allows her internal compass to always point to the true north. Because, for Gigi, having a successful career will always remain secondary to having a fulfilling life with her family.

“When I can’t balance my time with work and family, I feel like there’s an empty space inside of me. And I don’t want to feel that way. I wouldn’t trade being with her for anything in the world. I love her so much,” Gigi said.

Make every day rewarding with PLDT Home Rewards

Among the content available at the Philippine launch of Lionsgate Play is American crime drama Power. With rapper and actor Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as executive producer, Power follows the triumph and trials of drug dealer James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) as he tries to leave his life of crime behind to manage his own nightclub. Power is one of American premium cable TV’s most watched and highly-rated shows.

Also among Lionsgate Play’s banner content is futuristic action film Apex. This Bruce Willis starrer follows Thomas Malone (Willis) as a wrongfully-convicted prisoner given a chance at freedom.

Now available locally through Lionsgate Play is the critically-acclaimed drama Gaslit, starring Julia Roberts and Sean Penn. The new series spotlights Martha Mitchell (Roberts), wife of former US President Nixon’s Attorney General John N. Mitchell, discovering the full extent of the Watergate scandal in the 70s.

Lionsgate Play also features the studio’s most commercially successful films and film franchises: The Hunger Games follows hunter Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and her heroic adventures in a post-apocalyptic world; John Wick tells the story of the titular character (Keanu Reeves) forced to return to his life as a hitman to avenge the death of his beloved puppy; the Twilight Saga follows the epic love story of teenager Bella Swan (Kirsten Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson); SAW trails the sadistic machinations of John Kramer or Jigsaw; Knives Out follows a detective (Daniel Craig) in his investigation on the mysterious death of a wealthy novelist (Christopher Plummer); and many more.

The streaming service also carries some of Lionsgate’s most iconic and groundbreaking series such as Mad Men, a multiple Emmy and Golden Globe-winning period drama starring Jon Hamm that’s widely considered to be one of the greatest TV shows of all time; and The Royals, a drama chronicling the tradition, opulence, and scandal that surround a fictional modern-day royal family. Lionsgate Play also gives PLDT Home subscribers first dibs on the hottest new shows including Becoming Elizabeth, which chronicles Elizabeth I’s rise to power and all the intrigue and betrayal that came with becoming the Virgin Queen.

Convenience is the key! When you have a certain feature that is for sure very useful, why not utilize it or maximize its use? That's why my friend, you need to register and open up a ShopeePay account! Now, let me show you the five things we can do with ShopeePay!


Nowadays, there are mobile apps for just about everything, even for activities like shopping or making financial transactions that we previously could not do online. With thousands of apps available for our use, it's best to choose one with different features so you don’t have to constantly switch between apps. Are you looking for versatility and convenience? Then ShopeePay is for you. To get started, simply download the Shopee app, and activate and verify your ShopeePay Wallet. From paying for items on Shopee to sending money, there’s a lot you can accomplish with Shopee’s integrated mobile wallet.

Here’s a quick rundown of the things you can do with ShopeePay so you won’t miss out:

1. Avoid bank fees when you cash in via InstaPay or link your bank account

There are plenty of ShopeePay cash in channels to choose from like payment centers, e-wallets, online banking, debit cards, and more. Aside from these convenient options, did you know that you can also avoid admin fees and cash in for free? One way is to link your BPI or UnionBank account to cash in for free. For those with a different bank, cashing in is also free when you use InstaPay on your bank’s online app—get up to P25 cashback on your first two InstaPay transactions per month. 

To make the experience even more rewarding, you can join the ‘Cash In and Win with InstaPay’ promo and stand a chance to win P100,000 worth of prizes when you cash in at least P1,000 via InstaPay from June 27 to 30. Cash in as many times as you can to earn more raffle entries.

MPIC Forays Into Agri Investments , Partners with Carmen’s Best Group

PRESS RELEASE - Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (“MPIC”), the country’s leading infrastructure investments company, announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Carmen’s Best Dairy Products, Inc., Carmen’s Best International Dairy Company, Inc., Real Fresh Dairy Farms, Inc., and The Laguna Creamery, Inc. (collectively, the “Carmen’s Best Group”) to further develop and expand the operations of its dairy farm and dairy products manufacturing facilities. 

MPIC announces its partnership with Carmen’s Best Group to increase its foray into Agri-Business and contribute to the country’s food supply. In Photo (L-R): MPIC CFO, CRO, and CSO Chaye A. Cabal-Revilla, MPIC Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan, CB Director Sen. Ramon B. Magsaysay Jr., CB President Francisco "Paco" D. Magsaysay, and CB Treasurer Felipe B. Bince III.


Under the partnership, the Carmen’s Best Group will integrate its assets and operations into The Laguna Creamery, Inc. (“TLCI”), with MPIC owning a 51% equity interest in TLCI and the Carmen’s Best Group retaining a 49% equity interest.

The Carmen’s Best Group is behind the home-grown premium ice cream brand, Carmen’s Best Ice Cream, and the country’s only locally pasteurized and homogenized fresh milk, Holly’s Milk. It produces yogurt and artisanal cheeses under the Carmen’s Best Natural Cheese and Holly’s brands.
Earlier this year, MPIC announced that it is seeking to ramp up investments in the agricultural sector and reduce the country’s dependence on food imports amid ongoing global supply chain disruptions and high inflation. This transaction presents a significant growth opportunity for MPIC and the Philippines, as the country currently imports 99% of its annual dairy requirements. 

 “The agricultural sector presents a wide range of possibilities that can help us achieve several goals –to strengthen the food supply chain and augment the accessibility of resources for all Filipinos as well as provide more opportunities for growth in an otherwise underserved business. Ultimately, the country should aim for substantial independence in food. And we must feed our people first,” says MPIC Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Manuel V. Pangilinan. 

MPIC and Carmen’s Best Group envision transforming TLCI into a fully integrated dairy business, serving local demand and eventually competing globally. “Carmen’s Best has always had family at the heart of its brand – from the humble beginnings of my father and his friend's dairy farming project, to the touch of creativity I added to turn it into a modest ice cream business,” said Francisco “Paco” Delgado Magsaysay. “This union makes us appreciative that MPIC sees the value of what we already built, while also elevating Carmen’s Best toa level beyond what we envisioned.”  
The transaction values the Carmen’s Best Group at PHP288M and is conditional upon customary regulatory confirmation and approvals.

This venture in agribusiness affirms MPIC’s resolve to be the largest catalyst for a Sustainable Philippines to contribute to national progress and help improve lives of Filipinos. It is also aligned with the Company’s efforts to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), particularly Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.

The Philippines’ leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), flew its first direct international flight from Cebu to Seoul on July 3, 2022, marking the restart of its international operations outside Manila.


 
The airline will be operating said route twice weekly, every Thursday and Sunday. Flight 5J 128 departs Mactan Cebu International Airport at 12:25PM, and arrives at Incheon International Airport at 6:10PM. Its return flight, 5J 129, is scheduled to leave Seoul at 6:55PM and will arrive in Cebu at 10:50PM.

 
“We are delighted to relaunch this flight as we know this signals the restart of easier international travels for our passengers in the Visayas and Mindanao. We look forward to steadily growing our network outside Metro Manila, both domestically and internationally,” said Xander Lao, CEB Chief Commercial Officer.


 
This direct flight enables passengers from 21 other domestic destinations to fly to Seoul, South Korea via Cebu. This extensive list includes Clark, Davao, Dumaguete, Puerto Princesa, and Zamboanga, among others.

PLDT Home 10,000 Mbps Internet Service , Philippines First

Imagine having a fully connected smart home where you can control all your home and personal devices – from health gadgets to home security – in just one app.

PLDT Home ambassador Gigi de Lana trying out smart devices at the FAST Hub  



You can control your thermostat from your phone remotely or at home, stream movies and music while your robot vacuum cleaner does its work, you can work on your small business while you and your spouse work remote, and in the next room, the kids are playing video games with friends from around the world. While all of these can now be done with a decently fast internet connection, imagine all the possibilities if you have 10,000 Mbps at your disposal.

Internet speeds of up to 10,000 Mbps put the Philippines in the same league as many first-world countries, where smart homes are becoming the norm. Leading telecommunications provider PLDT Home has made this a reality for Filipino homes—right here, right now. 

FAST Hub: what a next-level smart home looks like

To enable people to fully experience and appreciate the fastest available 10,000 Mbps internet speed in the Philippines, PLDT Home introduces the FAST (Fiber Accelerated Speed Tech) Hub.

FAST Hub is a visual representation of everything 10,000 Mbps can offer. Here, you can experience what it’s like to have a hyper-fast home internet connection across two rooms: the Living Room, Office, and Gaming Areas.

Make your home smarter: control the lights, electronics, security, and all your gadgets using your phone and your ultra-fast connection. And the best part is with such a connection, you can program your smart home to handle complex routines. Imagine at 6 am, you can automatically start coffee with your smart coffee maker and turn on the lights, then have the robo-vacuum start doing its thing at 6:15 am, among others–and have your smart home work like a well-oiled machine while you’re still waking up and getting your bearings.

Level up your entertainment and gear up for a totally immersive binge-watching experience at your home theater/entertainment system because having ultra-fast speeds means you can watch your favorite shows in 4K and even 8K. Enjoy actual cinema-quality graphics and sound while you sit down and relax with your favorite movie snacks.

Play stronger and lag-free because, with 10,000 Mbps, you have the power to excel in every game, stream, connect with and grow your fanbase – all these you can do simultaneously. The Smart Work/Gaming Station enables families to do things better without worrying about heavy bandwidth usage for each device and zero latency. Suit up and set up your VR headsets and experience a totally immersive experience like never before.

Work faster and more efficiently through virtual meetings or lectures, while multitasking in your home-based business, or editing, rendering, and uploading your next trending video, while beefing up your home security devices – all working simultaneously, without worrying about bandwidth or dropped connection.

Imagine being able to download and upload massive files in seconds–that’s the reality of having 10,000 Mbps. You can also scale your home business because you have enough bandwidth to power a small office with multiple heavy users. No more prioritization or workarounds because with such a connection, every member of the household can do their thing without worrying if they’re slowing down the connection for everyone else.

As the country’s undisputed fastest internet service provider for four consecutive years at the Ookla Speedtest Awards, PLDT Home’s mission has always been to provide Filipino families with future-ready innovations for them to do things better, stronger, and faster at home.
Want to know more about how to set up your own smart home? Visit PLDT Home’s Next Upgrade YouTube channel to get you started. Interested to experience the ultra-fast speeds of a 10,000 Mbps connection? Fill out the online form at www.pldthome.com/10000mbps.
