Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

The Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry will highlight the Filipino ancient healing art, “Hilot” on its 5th BHW show through a demo and free workshop on November 6, 2009 from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm, at the Ayala Activity Center-Cebu.

The demo and free workshop on “Hilot” is in line with the BHW’s theme, “Experience Life!” This is in response to the demand for Hilot Training which is still very limited and quite difficult to find nowadays. Mr. Jerson Arreza, the lead trainer of Alibyo Boutique Spa, will impart his expertise and experience in the field of massage. He is an experienced massage therapist who underwent rigorous training with an authentic “manghililot”, and earned a certificate of completion under a DOH licensed massage therapist.

“Hilot”, the Philippine’s own brand of touch therapy, is considered as the hottest trend in the spa industry today. It is strongly supported and endorsed by the Department of Tourism and the Department of Health as an important aspect to the growing spa industry in the Philippines. Both agencies also aim at branding it as the country’s foremost massage modality.

Come, and be with us as we “Experience life” with the soothing touch of the most-sought after massage therapist in Cebu!

Slots are limited so one must pre-register. Call Mr. Johnie Lim of Alibyo Spa at telephone number (032) 238-8654. You may also call CCCI at (032) 232-1421 to 24 loc. 112/105/106 and look for Keishma Arreza (0928.524.0892), Kerwin Macopia (0919.820.3352) or Tess Requina (0920.945.7809) for further inquiries.

RCTV Launches Season 2 of Tambayan Sa Outpost

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Cable station RCTV (Channel 36) is launching Season Two of latest hit music show Tambayan Sa Outpost, with Episode One airing on October 21 featuring Cebu’s premier blues band, Cuarenta (formerly known as 40 The Band).

The show features local music acts performing live @ The Outpost Restobar and each band member conversing with the host, Ms. Ria Redulla, about their personal thoughts on everyday topics. The maiden season, which is the first of its kind in Cebu, primarily featured rock bands performing in acoustic format, while the new season has a wider range, with blues, flamenco, ska, new wave, and pop music included in the roster.

“The show aims to portray the musicians as real people and not just the onstage personas they project,” said Jay Chiongbian Young, co-producer of the show, and an accomplished musician himself. “As the members talk not only about music, the audience will be able to relate to them on a different level as when they see them perform live.”

The show airs daily on Channel 36 in Sky Cable with the episodes running for two weeks each. For more info and updates, you may check out their website www.tambayansaoutpost.multiply.com or you can check out previous episodes from Season One on www.rctv.com.ph/shows/tambayan.
