The M. BUTTERFLY National Tour 2019



“M. BUTTERFLY” NATIONAL TOUR 2019 ALL SET FOR SIX-CITY RUN FROM FEBRUARY TO JUNE

The M. BUTTERFLY National Tour 2019 is all set to spread its wings even wider to reach major cities namely Iloilo, Dumaguete, Cebu, Davao, Manila and Baguio.


 Presented by Tony and Grammy award winning producer Jhett Tolentino and FRONTROW Entertainment (producer of highly-acclaimed independent films Bhoy Intsik and Bwaya), the M. BUTTERFLY National Tour 2019 was decided upon by the producers to bring this world-class masterpiece to those who did not have the opportunity to catch its 2018 Manila run. After all, location should not limit one’s exposure to the arts and culture.

Most theater companies in our country whose successful productions in Manila are often hindered from bringing their projects to other key cities because of the many challenges and technical details involved. And this is why Jhett Tolentino and FRONTROW Entertainment are taking this bolder step to carry on their mission and advocacy in the performing arts and to further enhance audience development throughout the Philippine archipelago.

  This revival production of David Henry Hwang’s M. BUTTERFLY is the winner of the 2018 ALIW AWARDS for Best Play, Best Actor and Best Director. It was also nominated for two  Best Featured Actresses in a Play and Best Ensemble.

M. Butterfly, which tells the story originally premiered on Broadway in 1998 and won 3 Tony Awards for Best Play, Best Feature Actor and Best Director.

Synopsis: René Gallimard is a member of the French embassy in China. René is mild mannered and considers himself to be poor with women. He meets and falls in love with Chinese opera star Song Liling, a woman whom he considers to be the embodiment of the perfect woman, Madame Butterfly. But when West meets East, everything is not what it seems..

Targeting audiences between ages 18 and beyond, the producers are hoping that this classic drama, inspired by Giaccomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly’, will likewise resonate to theater audiences from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao that “ love, power and deception holds no boundaries – whether this be in a rural or urban setting.”

RS FRANCISCO, the 2018 Aliw Awards Best Actor for M. Butterfly shall reprise his iconic portrayal of Song Liling, the Chinese opera singer who is Gallimard’s object of affection and seduces him through his biases of the East then exploits their intimacy to collect classified information for agents of the Chinese Communist Party.

​RS first essayed this role in May 1990 for Dulaang UP, opposite veteran actor, writer and critic Behn Cervantes. On its debut, M. Butterfly immediately rose to critical acclaim with packed houses and box office success in over 100 performances throughout the Philippines.

In the many years thereafter, RS Francisco’s theater credits in numerous productions and variety of roles continued to hone his craft as a compleat artist. In films, his most recent awards include the SINAG MAYNILA Best Actor, the STAR AWARDS Movie Actor of the Year and the SUBIC BAY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Best Actor.

When M. BUTTERFLY was revived recently on Broadway, RS had thought of bringing it to life once again to the new theater audiences of today. After all, this is the only ‘one’ role that continues to remain as closest to his heart.

To add a diverse twist to the M. Butterfly National Tour 2019, young actor AIRA IGARTA will step into the role of Song Liling as alternate in certain performances. As an original member of the Kurogo ensemble of the play’s 2018 Manila run, Aira is a stage and film actor from the Theatre Arts Program of UP Diliman where he took part in several Dulaang UP and Dulaang Labortoryo productions. Trained by the likes of Tony Fabella and Luther Perez, Aira was originally a dance and voice scholar at Quezon City Performing Arts Foundation (QCPADFI).

French actor OLIVIER BORTEN shall essay the role of Rene Gallimard, a former French diplomat, who relates the story of his passionate, disastrous affair with Song Liling from his cell in a Paris prison, where he is serving a long sentence for treason.

Philippine theater royalty JENINE DESIDERIO, who among many other theater, film, television and recording credits, assumed the lead role as Kim in the West End’s original Miss Saigon, will portray Gallimard’s wife – Helga. The pair married as a matter of convenience; Helga’s father had diplomatic connections that helped Gallimard ascend in his career.

After 25 years of stage acting experience in the United Kingdom, Scottish NORM MCLEOD has stepped in the Philippine stage as Manuel Toulon, the French Ambassador to China who also happens to be the dominant and strong-willed superior of Gallimard at the embassy in Beijing. Toulon promotes Gallimard to vice-consul and charges him with collecting information to aid the American war in Vietnam.

Trilingual American actor LEE O’BRIAN will once more personify Marc, the sexually unapologetic best friend of Gallimard. He encourages Gallimard to take sexual advantage of the women around him without regard for their feelings or even their consent. Although M. Butterfly was Lee’s first theatrical endeavor, his acting skills have already been tried and tested in international films Edsa Woolworth and Forgive Me Father. O’Brian also portrays Sharpless in M. Butterfly for a brief while.

Portraying the different roles of Suzuki, Comrade Chin and Shu Fang is powerful and well-rounded artist MAYEN ESTAÑERO. Her impressive performance in the 2018 run of M. Butterfly landed her an Aliw Awards nomination for Best Featured Actress. Mayen’s previous theater credits include Dalanghita Production’s Corazon Negro, An Operetta as Maestra, Virgin Labfest’s Mula sa Kulimliman as Leila and Sugid Production’s Buwan at Baril as Asawa. Comrade Chin is a member of the Red Guards, a paramilitary arm of the Communist Party in China. Song communicates with Comrade Chin often, to pass on the classified information he gathers from Gallimard.

Twice a finalist as Best Actress for the Aliw Awards, MAYA ENCILA receives her third nomination as Best Featured Actress for her unique characterization of Renee and Pin-Up Girl in M. Butterfly. The stunning Arizona native plays a young, sexually liberated Danish woman with whom Gallimard has an affair. Renee’s boldness presents a stark contrast to Song’s modesty, which Gallimard finds both exciting and obnoxious. A true expert in performing arts, Maya has taken the stage countless times as Mary Lennox for The Secret Garden, as Belle for Repertory Philippines’ Beauty and the Beast musical and as Lara for Philippine Stagers’ KATIPS, to name a few.

Rising soprano star JASMIN SALVO will be the new Opera Singer for the national tour.
The members of the ensemble playing the role of Kurogo are as follows: PHEITH IENA BALLUG, ULLYSES BASA, SASA CABALQUINTO, FRANCO FERRER and JOHN PAUL ORTENERO.

The artistic team of M. Butterfly are as follows: Jhett Tolentino and RS Francisco (Producers), Ohm David (Set), Eric Pineda (Costume), John Batalla (Lighting), Jethro Joaquin (Sound), Joed Balsamo (Music) and Carissa Adea (Choreography).
The M. BUTTERFLY NATIONAL TOUR 2019 will benefit 10 charitable institutions namely: Iloilo Prima Galaw, Philippine National Red Cross Iloilo Chapter, The Children of Cebu Fou
ndation, Silliman University Culture and Arts Council, the Arts Council of Cebu Foundation, Love the Children Foundation, House of Hope Foundation, Halfway Home for the Boys and St. Louis University Culture and Arts Center.

UBP 3rd Thanksgiving Day 2019

I was so excited in organizing this event because I've been to a lot of events for months and missed being part of those. So I asked God to lead me, strengthen , empower and manifest His divine provisions all throughout the preparation and truly, He is absolutely good. Because from the day I started planning up to the very moment of our Thanksgiving day, I felt His goodness. His divine intervention is fully present.


He orchestrate every details of it from connecting me to the perfect and right sponsors down to the actual event - His grace and faithfulness was indeed amazing. Though there might be some unnecessary delays within the preparation trying to ruin the celebration, still His divine control overruled and He's been with us and never left our side. Everyone was cooperative,  professional,  humble, generous in sharing their journey in blogging. With my almost 15 years in the corporate world, I must say blogging world is one of the exciting journey I ever had. My learning was enlarged,  stretched and challenged meeting all the very competent veteran bloggers, vloggers, writters, youtubers, media spiced it up.


I was so happy to see sponsors enjoying meeting the awesome team of United Bloggers Philippines including all the freelancers, travel and our so faithful team who travelled all the way to Tagaytay beating the long commuting period , having all of you made this celebration into completion. Just knowing and seeing the smiles of our team makes the whole tiring preparation all worth it. In addition, so happy that I got to share this event with my mom and my family gave me inspiration.  And ofcourse my bestfriend Adae Ang , who never failed to include me whenever she has new projects. In behalf of us, we are overwhelmed and I owe everything to our creator who is the source,  main root of all of these- we offer all the glory and all the honor to our Lord Jesus Christ.

In behalf of United Bloggers Philippines see you all on our 4th Thanksgiving Day!

I Love You, LC!

“I Love You, LC!” is a story about an obese Filipina (Patty Sandoval) who is in love with a hot guy (Lloyd Corpuz). Accidentally, an incident revealed that Lloyd is not interested with Patty because she is too fat.

Hurt, Patty embarked on a journey of losing weight through an unconventional weight loss method, that does not require any supplement, surgery nor exercise and without ever feeling hungry, called the low carb and intermittent fasting. This unconventional method helped her transition from “yucky” to “yummy” in a matter of few months. All her friends, including Lloyd, are shocked with her transformation!

Now armed with a sexy body, Patty is more determined than ever to win Lloyd’s heart! Will Lloyd now finally be interested with the new and yummy Patty? Or is there a deeper reason why Lloyd isn’t interested with Patty? Will Patty now have him happily ever after? Find out soon in Philippine cinemas starting February 27, 2019!

“I Love You, LC!” (ILYLC) is a full-length Filipino independent romantic comedy movie by Alma D. Roxas-Aguila of Aguila Media Productions and Services.

It is a movie conceptualized by Dave Aguila, founder of Low Carb and Intermittent Fasting Philippines (www.facebook.com/groups/lcifph), the largest, most interactive and fastest growing online low carb community in the country today. This group aims to spread awareness that obesity can be reversed without any supplement, surgery nor exercise and without feeling hungry.

ILYLC is a result of Dave Aguila’s realization about the need to step up in spreading awareness about the dangers of obesity and how it can be reversed or prevented via low carb and intermittent fasting when the membership of his online low carb community grew phenomenally from January 07, 2018 to more than 350,000 members after a year!

Globally, we are now at the highest rate of obesity. In the Philippines alone, there are about 18 million Filipinos who are suffering from being overweight or obese. Obesity is a very serious subject as this is a precursor to a lot of serious illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer, etc. which is why Dave Aguila, with his wife Alma Roxas-Aguila, decided to produce a movie that will help spread awareness of LCIF.

ILYLC is written by Dave Cecilio and directed by Dave Aguila and Dave Cecilio.

Chateau Royale Hotel can make a grand experience happen

Most of us, of course needs an escape from a busy world and would love to have a relaxing getaway in a place that could offer a whole bunch of happiness to make you regain your strength from a toxic week and definitely, they have it all here in Chateau Royale Nasugbo Batangas - they can make great experience possible for you.

As you enter their reception area, what caught my attention was their very huggable bear. They bring out the kiddie spirit in me ha ha . Then i got astounded with their veranda where you can see their swimming pool that will tempt you to have a splash immediately to have a quick freshen up. A good welcome view for the guest to get even more excited to whats in store for them in their staycation .

As i checked in, we were assisted by their very kind staff Ms. Rachel Vidal, thank you so much for such as an awesome assistance.

As she lead us to our room with their very pinoy service jeepney, this is a so cute idea to have their driver wear a formal uniform , this is really totally a thumbs up!

Then as we reached our room accomodation for this exciting getaway we stayed In a cabin family with 3 bedroom great enough for our family, it had a wood sofa where you can watch tv. As soon as I entered their room, me and my mom had our back rest in their very homey feel bed with a very comfortable pillows. Their purely white painted room made me and my mom so relaxed and gave us such a good sleep. The room also have a cabinets, welcome toiletries kit.

As we walked and looked around the vicinity we saw a big field which I think is used for outdoor events like weddings and on the side, it has obstacle courses best for those who loved physical activities and also good for team buildings for groups of company outings.

Then we saw their wave pool that was so huge and surely it wil make your swimming experience into a more intense level..

There are so much to enjoy here like zipline, archery, forest trekking,rock climbing and so much more, camping - which they have during the day we stayed, surely! it was a blast, all campers enjoyed their night with the sky watching the stars on a very cool breeze weather, and earlier they also celebrated Chinese New Year celebration as they enjoyed dragon dancing with dimsum buffet to complete the celebration.

Just another successful event of Chateau Royale!

Today is the day where I can witness how beautiful this place is. That's why I am so excited. Every turn I take , at any angles, all I see is perfection. Such an awesome feeling to be just surrounded by the greens, the colorful flowers brings more life and happiness in me. The air so fresh, clean. Words are not enough to describe how beautiful, perfect this place is.
 
When I get off our ride, the cool fresh breeze of air welcome and kisses my cheeks that makes me feel more excited. My eyes cant get off looking around , all the area were clean and well maintained. They make the natural beauty of nature outstand everything. The design of their cabana is very beautiful- very pinoy style. This place awakens my inner spirit that leads me to worship and thankgiving for the countless blessings we have. Being here in the middle is like getting soak in the presence of God that rest my heart with fullness the fullness joy.

There's no doubt that seeing this beautiful nature is an obvious expression of how awesome our God is. You can see Him through the greatness of His creation and how great our God is. The perfect curvings softness of trees ,flowers show how God with His mighty hands created everything with so much love, the calmness freshness of the air we breathe makes us feel God's comforting us, embracing us. The grandness of the beautiful sky at night and sparkling stars declared how perfectly God can do far beyond our wildest imaginations and also convinced us Gods infinite greatness - its beyond words, and it’s even beyond the word ‘perfect’. Totally, that's the meaning behind this place was created, the name itself tells it all indeed It's a "LIFE place" because each and everything we see speaks life to us directly - about Gods compassion and mastery.

I truly thank God for His divine connection and His provisions that lead us to the right places, there may be rough roads along the way but nothing, no one can hinder God's purpose in our lives, there may be interruption but still God will bring you there to what He has prepared for you. Thank you LifePlace Retreat and Event Center for a wonderful meaningful weekend experience.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore Psalms 16:11

HICC

When we understand our purpose, it is a moment of epiphany. It dawned on me that health should be everybody's concern and top priority.









A recent visit to a one-of-a-kind clinic in Makati City opened a whole new perspective. A question popped up in my mind "Why should we settle for the traditional approach in medicine when we can also reap the benefits of alternative therapies at the same time?"

According to Dr. Imelda S. Edodollon, Medical Director of HICC, "Integrative Medicine is healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapies. It isn’t just medicine. Your care team may also design a plan to help you build healthy behaviors and skills -- like smart eating habits and stress-busting activities. These things can keep you healthy for the long term."

Non-invasive whole-body scan results were astounding as Dr. Meddie discussed the findings. It was accurate enough to reveal issues with my gut and respiratory concerns. What I loved about it is it did not require blood sample, there was no need for Radiography, and most of all it was painless. The rest of the services they offer are: Therapy Services, Beauty & Wellness, Glutathione Therapy, Hyperthermia, Coffee Enema, Chelation Therapy, Immune System Boost, Mineral Repletion, Photon Therapy, and Ozone Therapy.










Rarely do we see such institutions which focus on the patient's wellness instead of profit. In fact, only a maximum of five patients are accommodated in a day as the treatment is almost a whole day process. It is vital that patients are accompanied by relatives for them to truly understand their medical conditions, how to take care of them, understand the root causes of their condition and how to make the patient’s life more bearable since after care is as important as treatment itself.

Part of the treatment is consideration of our diet. Chef Arlene Aquino Clemente is certified as a holistic raw food chef in Bali, Indonesia. I had the opportunity to consult her regarding my diet and I was enlightened on the importance of what we eat.











































Slots are limited, and advance reservation is advised.

Merzci Pasalubong

MERZCI is the trade name of CM & SONS FOOD PRODUCTS, INC. It is the leading bread and food
 pasalubong producer in Bacolod City and the island of Negros. It carries a wide array of product
lines, namely, BAKESHOP, FAST FOOD, PASALUBONG, and PURIFIED WATER.

The company maintains optimum standards in its manufacturing processes and is constantly updating
 and improving its product lines. Along with its constant improvements, it strives to deliver customer
 satisfaction by bringing the highest “Value for Money” to its customers.

In 2014, following its trademark application with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPO)
, the trade name got updated from Merci to Merzci. With the update in the name, came the upgrades
and improvements of the company to produce better products and services to its customers. Thus,
 launching the brand in October 2014 as “The New and Improved MERZCI”. The addition of the letter
Z in the name signifies that the company has been gearing up and focusing on targeting the
GENERATION Z as the main market of its products and services. Customers can expect more from
the company in the succeeding years – new products, more branches, improved customer service,
and new ways to experience, share, and be part of MERZCI.

As of Jan 2018, the company is manned by a 1, 600-strong workforce more or less, with each
department effectively working together to produce and maintain quality products for its customers.


CORPORATE VISION
Merzci will be a TOP LEADING BRAND in the Philippine Bakery Industry in Bakeshop and Pasalubong
that is aggressively present NATIONWIDE serving quality and reasonably-priced products.

COMPANY MISSION
The company aims to continually provide its consumers with the highest quality products and services
 to maximize their money’s worth:


· By opening outlets and satellites hubs in key towns and cities in the Philippines.
· By hiring and training qualified and competent employees.
· By delivering high quality products with the best value for money.
· By using state-of-the-art technology and manufacturing equipment and practices.
· By being innovative with current trends in the national and global markets.
· By broadening reach through traditional and non-traditional channels.

COMPANY ROOTS

CM & Sons Food Products, Inc. was established as a family enterprise in 1995 in Bacolod City,
Negros Occidental. Its products are marketed under the trade name “Merci” a French word meaning
“thank you”. Though the trade name is undergoing a rebranding process from Merci to Merzci, the
company still believes that it will remain competitive in the food market.

Merzci started as a small bakery, supplying breads to a single store at the Libertad Market. Eventually,
 its popularity became undeniable due to a growing satisfied customer pool. With its high quality
breads at affordable prices, combined with aggressive marketing strategies and the ingenuity of youth,
 it did not take long for the company to establish its own branches around the city and supply products
 to satellite dealers all over the province.

Merzci also evolved into a fast food restaurant serving scrumptious and affordable snacks and
short-order meals for people on the go.

Complementing its food line, it diversified its business interests in 2003 with the introduction of its
bottled purified water brands distributed around Negros Island, namely MERCI PURIFIED DRINKING
WATER and VITALIFE PURIFIED DRINKING WATER. Despite competition from national brands, the
two brands successfully sliced a big share in the province’s purified water market in only a few
months’ time and up to present. The water brand is also expected to follow suit in the rebranding of its
 trade name.

The success of CM & Sons Food Products, Inc. may very well be attributed to its ability to cope with
the emergence of new markets and opportunities.

In January 2005, CM & Sons launched its newest line – MERZCI PASALUBONG TREATS, to cater to
 the growing tourist and balikbayan crowd that regularly come to the province. The pasalubong treats
 have gained a massive “suki” consumer crowd that prompted the company to open its first pasalubong
 center in Singcang, Bacolod City in September 2005. This branch is only about five minutes away
from the old Bacolod Airport which, at that time, gained a wide acceptance among the locals and
travelers alike. Seven months later, a second pasalubong center emerged in Mandalagan in April 2006,
 which now caters mainly to travelers leaving the city on the way to the north of the island. In 2008,
 when the New Bacolod-Silay Airport was opened to the public a new branch conveniently located at the
 Departure Area was opened for its customers who are always on the go. And, most recently last
February of 2013, BREDCO Branch was established to cater to Iloilo-Panay travelers making it a point
 that, indeed, Merzci will always be a part of a traveler’s Bacolod experience.

For more than two decades, the company has produced quality products from breads to pastries to
 Visayan delicacies to short order meals and even purified water. Products are made available in the
different branches and dealers in the Negros Island, Panay, even reaching as far as Tuguegarao City in
the North, Zamboanga City, Manila, and Cebu. Some products are also exported by distributors to
Canada, the USA, and other parts of the world.

Believing in the power of advertising and promotions, the company employs various media exposures
such as television, radio, print, and even social media to reach its varied target markets. Special events
 such as concerts, tourism and sports events, and other special activities are also considered by the
company as avenues to reach new markets.

A Sea of Zs: Sino may Z? MERZCI!
A sea of “Zs” exploded at the 35th Masskara Festival at Bacolod’s Lacson Tourism Strip last October
16-19, 2014.

Launching the New and Improved MERZCI, Bacolod’s favorite pasalubong center, bakeshop, and fast
food brought four nights of hyperfun – live band music, games, prizes, and dances – to festival guests
through nightly live shows.

A giant mirror ball, red and yellow confetti, and two sky dancers ushered in guests to the MERZCI stage.
 The unveiling of the Z in MERZCI was performed by the mysterious yellow MERZCI Man and assisted
 by CM and Sons Marketing Manager for PR & Events Femmy Lee Magbanua and Branding Officer
Lovelle Bellocillo.

Hosts Gerhard Krystoppher Pagunsan and John Gilbert Arceo, ably assisted by MERZCI Marketing
Manager Femmy Lee Magbanua and the MERZCI Dancers, led contestants in the iconic games Siopao
 Eating Contest and Barquillos Relay. More contestants won MERZCI treats in pasalubong boxes with
games like Bring Me, Pinaka-, and the Longest Z. Members from the dancing audience who did the
MERZCI SIGN with their hands won customized MERZCI t-shirts. Those who had the letter Z in their
names went home with customized MERZCI golf umbrellas.

Festival guests grooved to live music from Batukada de Negros, Aire Band, and 11th hour Band as
freebies were tossed to the audience. The last night of the show was graced by 2014 Masskara Queen
1st Runner-up and Miss Merzci Riah Angelica De Ocampo. Right beside the MERZCI stage, the biggest
 Masskara Festival PHOTOWALL offered FREE photo-taking to locals and tourists.

Meanwhile, the mysterious yellow MERZCI Man cavorted along Lacson Street, gamely posed with locals
 and tourists and did a surprise appearance at the Masskara Love Dance.

MERCI PURIFIED DRINKING WATER & VITALIFE PURIFIED DRINKING WATER
Complementing its food line, Merzci diversified its business interests in 2003 with the introduction of its
bottled water brands distributed around Negros Island.

The purified drinking water undergoes a start of the art MULTI-STEP PROCESS that includes Softening,
 Reverse Osmosis, Carbon and Micron Filtration, UV Light Treatment, and Ozonation to ensure clean
and safe drinking water to its consumers.

 and achieve a more efficient workflow during production.

practices in the workplace, living up to its FDA-approved status. Every product is diligently packed and
