Bayo's Response
We appreciate your feedback about our most recent ads. With the different variations and suggestions made by the public, we have decided to reveal the rest of the campaign, as a way of shedding more light on the issue.
It was meant to be a three-part series rolled out over the next few months with the intent of celebrating nationality, heritage and personality mix.
Unfortunately, the message got lost along the way. Despite this, we at BAYO, will continue our 20-year tradition of celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of every Filipino.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely Yours,
Lyn Agustin
Vice President, BAYO

Staying a Libertarian

After the epic series, HA was cast as in another soap that featured petite actress (PA) and her real life friends. In the course of the taping, PA surprised the public by breaking off with hunk model (HM), while HA realized that he needed something more from GF. He felt he was not getting the affection he needed. While on location one day, HA sent a text message to a relative to seek advice regarding his breaking up with GF. The message got mixed up and was miss-sent to GF instead. HA freaked out when he realized the blunder but it was too late. Expectedly, GF reacted like any woman scorned. She called HA countless times, but he chose to ignore GF. Then things were never the same.
As a single guy, HA felt free to be linked to anyone. The first was PA. PA seems to have earned a soft spot in HA. She has been invited to intimate gatherings of HA's close-knit family. When asked if they were already an item, HA said it would be nice if it were true. Meanwhile, PA has been linked to other personalities but she seemed not interested with anyone. One day, upon the request of PA's mom, a family friend, who happens to be an animated politician, went on a set visit hoping to get to know HA. Unfortunately HA was not interrogated. The mom was worried that PA and HA might be involved in something serious as they would meet up each other even at ungodly hours.. As to what they did on those midnight dates, one can only speculate.
Technically, since there is no public admission of any commitment, this makes HA single and free to flirt with any one as seen in the photos. Is HA just being naughty with the woman in the photo? How would PA feel towards this behavior? At any rate, will HA and PA ever become an item? We can only wait what happens next.

Behind the Good Image
Image courtesy of www.mtblabel.com
At one point, viewers got a glimpse of her love life, and even rooted for her relationship with a low-profile production head (PH). However, her entering a reality show made her followers see how feeble she can be when it comes to attraction. She and another model actor (MA) started to get chummy in the top-rating show. Eventually, and expectedly, HW and PH broke up. In the end, other than their friendship, nothing official and serious happened between HW and MA.
HW continued to be visible on TV and garnered her own share of followers. When technology became fashionable, HW was one of the pioneer users of social networking sites which she used to her advantage. Her blog and twitter accounts began to prop up her image. However, followers and fans who disagree with her twitter rants will have a piece of her mind via a direct message aka DM. (Note that a DM is not visible on the twitter timeline.) Those who have received DMs from her attest that how she conducts herself via her DMs is a far cry from the image she projects - because she can be really brutal.
Incidentally, HW stirred a bit of a buzz a few weeks ago when she did a daring pose on the cover of a men’s magazine. The cover photo was definitely in contrast to her girl-next door image. Something that shocked her fans and the public, who were in disbelief what she would be capable of doing. Until they realized that she was old enough to do such a bold career move. HW is in her late 20s, by the way.

A Magical Family Vacation on AXN
Fans of magic, brace yourselves! Get ready to be enthralled
as AXN brings the ultimate magical extravaganza this June when Cyril’s Family
Vacation: Hawaii Edition starts airing every Sunday at 8:30PM starting June 10!
AXN has again teamed up with one of the world’s most illustrious magicians,
Cyril. A global superstar magician, he first wowed Asian TV audiences with
Cyril: Simply Magic on AXN, a three-part special set in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur
and Taipei.
And Cyril is definitely back - a lot bigger and better, and
with his family in tow! In this international TV edition of Cyril’s Family
Vacation: Hawaii Edition, get ready to be charmed by his family members –
Grandma Magi, Uncle Richard and Cousin Tiny - as they embark on a hilarious
vacation to the tropical paradise of Oahu, Hawaii.
What happens when you take the most influential and
provocative magician in the world today, put him in disguise, and throw him
into real-world situations?
In this six-part series, internationally-acclaimed magician
and illusionist, Cyril shows us his personal side as he takes his “family” on a
much-needed vacation. Turns out the family has a little magic in their DNA...
and prepare to be blown away!
A departure from the traditional street magic series that
established Cyril, CYRIL’S FAMILY VACATION features a new and innovative way of
magic storytelling. With one of Japan’s award winning special effects make-up
teams at work, each character is brought to life with striking and convincing
realism. Set against scenic Honolulu where Japanese culture is part of Hawaiian
traditions and kanji is written alongside English on street signs, CYRIL’S
FAMILY VACATION is a voyeuristic and addicting magical social experiment that
tests the limits of what is and is not possible.
Meet the Family:
Crazy Uncle Richard – A real ladies' man, Uncle Richard can
always be found sporting his favorite cigar and his stylish fedora. He loves
golf and the good life. He was an incurable Casanova in his younger days and
truth be told, he has not lost his touch. His over-the-top persona is bolstered
by the strange magical things, which always seem to happen whenever he’s
around.
Grandma Magi – She’s the matriarch of Cyril’s family, an
adorable old lady that has a taste for mischief. Although she gets the senior’s
discount, she has the youthful energy of a child, and she’s always got a story
to tell. The secret to preserving her youthfulness is she loves to be around
young people. They help her to appreciate the natural magic of every moment.
Cousin Tiny - This is one dude that you just cannot miss;
most likely because he’s blocking your way. He’s never met a treat he didn’t
like. But don’t let his size fool you, he has a knack for defying gravity. His
bubbly personality and goofy laugh are infectious. As far as Tiny is concerned,
he thinks he taught Cyril everything he knows about magic.
Cyril’s Family Vacation plays with human reactions - the
close up reactions of those experiencing the impossible as well as the
reactions of those who witness the magical commotion from afar. Expect the
unexpected.
Miraculous things happen as the family is soaked in the
sunshine and scenery of Oahu, almost as if Mother Nature had a hand in it.
Don’t be surprised to find Grandma Magi wandering off on her shopping
escapades, Uncle Richard proving his magical prowess on the golf course or
even… Cousin Tiny defying Newton’s law of gravity to… hang off a tree!
The storytelling aspect, yes - that's what sets this show
apart from any other magic series. While typical street magic series has the
magician and camera crew approaching a crowd, the producers of Cyril’s Family
Vacation: Hawaii Edition chose to up the ante – hidden cameras. This allows the
story to evolve organically over six episodes and the amazing candid reactions
that make for great TV.
Cyril who was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and
now based in Tokyo, Japan, exudes the 21st century entertainer, capturing the
very discriminating audiences worldwide. He was fascinated with magic early on
in his youth. And at a young age of 15, he became a junior member at the
illustrious Magic Castle in Hollywood.
As thus, he was instantly labeled the world's first
"Cyber Magician" as he gained global popularity by becoming the most
downloaded magician on the internet, with over 100 million views today on
Youtube alone.
In 2007, Cyril was voted "Magician of the
Year"- a recognition given by his peers at the 39th Annual Academy of
Magical Arts Awards, also known as the "Academy Awards of
Magic," upping him to the level of past winners that included icons
such as David Copperfield and Seigfreid & Roy.
During the presscon, I was made to join Cyril on stage. He
made me hold a soda can that was full. Then he opened the lid, instructed me to
turn it upside down and much to our surprise, nothing spilled! Then, he told me
to hold the can again. And lo and behold, with his bare hands, he sealed the
lid as if it were factory-sealed. After that, I felt, with my own hands, the
solid contents of the can melt and liquefy. Then he opened the can once more
and poured it out to reveal a waterfall of soda! If that wasn't mind-boggling,
I don't know what is.
“Cyril’s Family Vacation: Hawaii Edition” will debut in the
Philippines on June 10, 2012 at 8:30PM.

TV Host Strikes Again

Had TH done a bit of reading about IS, she would have avoided asking that sensitive and personal question. There was a very slight hesitation in the answer of IS. In fact, IS mentioned “father” and “cousins,” and there was no mention of mother. Worse, TH reacted with an overused expression when IS said that she has not seen her family in a month. Did TH forget she was interviewing an American, and values do differ when it comes to seeing family?
When TH is given her next interview assignment with an international star, she could do better by not trying too much to connect with the guest. TH sounded pathetic and shallow when she reduced the fashion sense of the series of IS into the wearing of headbands that everyone, according to TH, copied. She even mentioned the dog of IS but that dog already died (updated research would have avoided this). TH tried to connect with IS by saying she also has a dog. The four-minute interview could have been better with better questions, which means better preparation.

The Boss is Accused
Image courtesy of www.music123.com
Consequently, company insiders were abuzzed about the affair. They maliciously made fun of the OD and PS and confirmed that it wasn't just the sale transaction that pushed thru but something more than met the eye. PS and OD soon found themselves really in love. But owing to OD's marital status and the business image that he had to consider, both OD and PS couldn't go public about their relationship.
So in order to satisfy their yearning for each other, they went on frequent trips abroad. It was in one of those trips where it was alleged that PS got pregnant. Both OD and PS hid her condition until she eventually gave birth abroad.
To this day that she is already known in the music world, she hasn't admitted anything regarding the matter. As to her relationship with OD? They had since parted ways.

Another Painful Story of a Failing Business
Image courtesy of www.dreamstime.com
Every so often, stories about the ups and downs of celebrities are either inspiring or frustrating. Most viewers love watching how a small player rises from being a nobody to one that is famous and respected. One sector that is full of such stories is the fashion and beauty industry. Most of today's successful beauty experts began from the lowest of ranks and moved up because of hard work and celebrity endorsements.
This hairstylist icon (HI) began her career with help from a family member. Unlike other stylists, HI was studying in a university when she realized she had the talent for making people beautiful with her scissors. While working in a salon, HI eventually started earning recognition for her name and the salon in the mid 80s. HI became quite famous and celebrities flocked to the family-owned salon. HI gave back to the community by establishing a school and imparting her knowledge through hair clinics.
Business was booming then. However, things did not turn out for the best. Sometime ago, HI bought a mansion in an exclusive subdivision and lived a lifestyle fit for her status. Then, business became bad. Other salons and hairstylists came into the picture. Added to this development is the proliferation of salons that offered cheaper rates. Hence, the business of HI suffered. Coupled with a lavish lifestyle and a failing business, HI had to choose. Out of the six branches, three were closed down because rent could not be paid. Then, the employees started to receive their salaries late, and their contributions were not remitted to the SSS. The turn of events is quite sad because the welfare of the employees was compromised. Perhaps, HI can live a less lavish life, and adjust to the times. Although, HI is an established name, there are younger and more creative talents in the industry who can very well be her competition and cut into her business.
Do you know who HI is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.
