It Takes So Much To Respect a Paradoxical Character
Image courtesy of www.findlogo.com
It was alleged that PS got involved in a scam in some country she lived for years. The scam has so affected some “kababayans” that it alarmed some of her friends and fans back in the Philippines. However, PS was quick to defend herself saying that she was not guilty of the crime she was accused of.
When she got to the country, it was inevitable that she would get invites for television guestings, and some shows, too, including those with her Former Group FG who were only too glad to see her. Thus, PS and FG became busy with public appearances and their bonding was really awesome.
They became quite comfortable again working with each other. Too comfortable that PS allegedly took a loan from FG who felt uneasy about it, but who obliged nonetheless. FG’s being uneasy was valid and understandable. However, PS wasn’t content with just a loan and decided to take it a little further by asking FG to join her in her business. Joining PS business would mean that FG had to cough up a certain amount. It was at this point that FG refused vehemently.
Friends say that FG was just being very circumspect. Knowing PS and her alleged business background, it was not hard to imagine where FG ‘s refusal was coming from.

Like or Dislike: Michael Kors for Metro Society
We open with a name that is almost synonymous to American luxury sportswear. Michael Kors is not just one of the most talented designers of our generation, he is also a master of relaxed elegance and has a business sense that has brought his little shop of self-made garments to a multimillion dollar brand. With flagship stores worldwide that sell not just his garments but his in demand handbag, shoe and accessory lines and a second brand, Michael by Michael Kors, he is definitely on top of the (fashion) world. Michael gives Metro Society an exclusive look into his history, shares with us his insights on the industry and passions and shows us that even with all he has accomplished, there is still much to look forward to for the future.
This being our 10th year in the local publishing industry, we wanted to glorify the creative minds who have contributed immensely to the rise of Philippine fashion. These designers are the cream of the crop and are looked up to, admired and emulated by many that follow in their path. Known in the industry and the ‘senior’ designers, they each have left an irreplaceable mark on local fashion. Together with them, we feature their muses, women from all age brackets and different sectors of society that they feel embody the ideal. For Metro Society, these designers definitely make up the top ten: Inno Sotto with Bea Valdez, Rhett Eala with Kitkat Rivilla, Randy Ortiz with Lucy Torres Gomez, Rajo Laurel with sisters Venise and Gela, Lulu Tan Gan with daughter Jessica, Cary Santiago with Johanna Lhullier, Dennis Lustico with Ria Prieto, JC Buendia with keri Zamora, New Yorker with Bea Tantoco and pepito Albert with Kaye Tinga.
Asides from wonderful fashion spreads, this issue also goes behind the scenes when it comes to producing garments. We take you into the houses of Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior to witness the intricacies that go into each design. We also have a special on Oscar De La Renta who was dubbed as the ‘Great American Designer’ and bring you to the Met punk style installation.
We hope you all enjoy the fashion issue of Metro Society!
Chasing “Rihanna” around Manila with Smart Music
Hundreds of Rihanna fans all over Metro Manila raced against each other and chased their “idol” to grab a couple of limited premium tickets to Rihanna’s Diamonds World Tour held last September 19 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Mobile leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), through its largest online music store Smart Music opened the Rihanna Twitter Zoom contest days before the popstar’s Manila concert, encouraging fans to score free tickets by participating in an interactive online game.
Twitter Zoom is an online hunt where Smart subscribers got the chance to win premium Rihanna concert tickets just by registering at Smart Music, following @SMARTCares and @SMARTPromos on Twitter and tweeting the hashtag, #SmartMusicRihanna. For every 500 hastags, the online map zoomed in, leading to the locations of the concert tickets given by a Rihanna look-alike.
Fans and onlookers alike were surprised to see contest participants making a mad dash to the Rihanna look-alike awaiting the Smart Twitter follower who can give her the correct password in exchange of concert tickets.
Smart’s hit Twitter contest also gave away tickets during Black Eyed Peas and Katy Perry’s Manila concert tours.
“When we introduced Smart Music, we promised to provide our subscribers not just the most affordable music tracks but the total music experience. From downloads, to exciting fan events and access to the biggest concerts, Smart Music is the all-in-one portal for the true blue music lover,” said Mellissa Limcaoco, head of Smart’s Innovation and Product Development group.
Lucky chance
The Rihanna Twitter Zoom promo excited many fans of the singers who wanted to experience her concert for free. Netizens flooded Twitter with the #SmartMusicRihanna hashtag, eager to join the unique contest that’s frar from the ordinary Twitter promo.
“Idek but @SMARTPromos got the coolest, craziest and out-of-this-world promo strategies! applause to the team,” said Twitter user @jiiensam.
Other Twitter users applied equally unique strategies to make sure they get the much coveted tickets.
“Nung gabi pa lang, nagbabantay na ko ng Twitter,” said John Paulo Baticulon, winner of the first leg of Twitter Zoom at SM Fairview. “So yung ate ko yung naiwan sa bahay para magbantay ng tweets tapos ako yung tumakbo all the way here. Gusto ko talagang mapanood si Rihanna up close. Parang soundtrack na kasi ng buhay ko yung mga songs niya. So thank you, Smart, for giving this gift to me.”
Along with Baticulon, the other two lucky winners of premium Rihanna concert tickets were Jay Mark Isais who went all the way from a class in the University of Santo Tomas to SM Megamall; and Julius Provido, who braved the night’s rain to finish the last leg at the SM Mall of Asia, coming all the way from his work at Quezon City.
“Nung sinabi na clue ay ‘heart of Manila,’ kumuha na agad ako ng taxi papuntang Megamall, kahit traffic. Then I was using my Smart LTE for monitoring the tweets” Isais said. “Nung nalaman kong may ganitong Twitter Zoom, hindi ko na siya pinalampas. Sobrang idol ko kasi talaga si Rihanna. Her songs really inspire me more.”
Rihanna fans can also download her music for as low as P10 using their prepaid load or charged to their postpaid bill at smart.com.ph/music, along with over three million other songs from the Smart Music catalog.
Smart Music is a co-presentor of Rihanna’s Diamonds World Tour in Manila.

Distance was not an issue for John Paulo Baticulon, the winner of the first leg of the Smart Twitter Zoom. At 6 AM, he already left Las Piñas and went all the way to SM Fairview. His sister was the one monitoring the tweets while he was going to the location.

A Veritable Close-fisted
Image courtesy of www.wearebuild.com
After several years, SA has been successful in her showbiz comeback. To this day, she is financially blessed with a career thriving like she and FB never imagined. However, despite of all this and a sweet public image, SA is reportedly not that sweet at home.
Some people privy to her and the family reported how she fired a Maid MD on the grounds of stealing some items from the pantry. SA even mentioned this publicly and justified herself. But insiders say that SA and FB are not what they are pictured to be as ideal. They attest how selfish the couple is amid all their countless material blessings. MD can not even begin to think how SA and FB can find it in their hearts to be selfish ,not sharing even a small portion of those overflowing items in their storage.
Reportedly, even if maids hint at desiring one or two items from the mounting stuff, the couple would also hint at disapproval. But an insider said that the MD in question was a hard worker in the house, but her low salary could hardly support her and her family, that’s why she was allegedly tempted to "steal."
It was said that SA and FB have more than enough of everything - " bursting at the seams, " so to speak, yet don’t even give a damn to people working for them. Obviously, paying it forward is not in the couple's vocabulary.
How 's that for greed?
