This New Year is the perfect time to turn the trash lying around your home into cash! The holiday season is the busiest time of the year for Filipinos. It is also a period wherein trash can accumulate easily as a result of various activities linked to the season’s celebrations. Knowing this, SM is encouraging Filipinos to observe responsible solid waste management as they welcome 2021 via the Trash-to-Cash recycling program. SM City Puerto Princesa calls for nearby communities to bring in their plastic bottles, scrap paper, cardboard, and cookware at the recycling market along Lacao Street, Bgy. San Miguel happening this January 8-9 from 10 AM to 2 PM. Trash-to-Cash is SM’s long-running environmental initiative aimed at educating the community to recycle, dispose of their trash properly, and earn in the process. Launched in 2007, the program is part of the company’s efforts in compliance with Republic Act No. 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Program.

The Singing Diplomat, pays tribute to the Philippines.
Tag as the Singing Diplomat from the Swiss Embassy in
Manila, Mr. Raoul Imbach is not stopping in introducing his music, like in his
past country assignment Imbach usually records songs from his heart as a
gesture of acknowledging his new found home.
Imbach is the Deputy Head Mission of Switzerland Embassy,
he is living while working in the Philippines for the past three years, and
recently he revived his band “The Wild Tortillas” to accompany him not just for
gigs, but for his 11th album that comprise of 14 track under the
title of “Tribute To The Philippines”.
His first ever USB album is officially launch last
November 19 at The Marco Polo Hotel in Ortigas Center. At the very early age, Imbach said that singing is his passion
but he clarify that he is not after the fame or money rather an expression of
his talent, and to give back. The proceed of the album he donate it to charity,
like this time it goes to Carmelite Convent of Pink Sisters in Batangas City.
Imbach originally write all the songs with the help of
his band that compose of Filipino members, all of them have Tagalog lyrics. One
of the song is called “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” that serve as the
carrier single.
“I usually do it in every country I go, I do one songs of
the language of the country, but in the Philippines it started one, and then
two and three, and now half of the album is in Tagalog, it represent a lot of
things that I lived here, the things I’ve done here, the way I feel about the
Philippines, so it’s a tribute, because eventually I will leave, but I would
like something to leave behind, and Philippines has a lot to offer, it’s nice
to recognize it thru music.” Imbach said.
He also wish to make a cover of “Anak” of Freddie
Aguilar, but it didn’t reach the deadline for the album due to some copyright
issues, but he is still working on it and hopefully soon he can record it since
he adore Ka Freddie and all of his nationalistic songs.
I also ask Imbach if he open to join some reality TV
singing search, as we all know many foreigners or expat lately are into this
kind of search, and he welcome the idea, even though admitted he is too old to
join such competitions, but he is willing and able if given a chance.

Spoliarium, an opera with libretto by Soprano Fides Cuyugan-Asensio and with music by Ryan Cayabyab was the first production I saw pertaining to the life of Juan Luna. Originally staged at the CCP in 2003 starring Robert Seña at the titular role, the opera was staged in Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York thirteen years later. Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF) current production of "Obra Ni Juan " was my follow-up. This original Filipino musical was written by Atty. Vince Tañada, PSF President and Artistic Director and with music by Peter Paul "Pipo" Cifra, president of UST Conservatory of Music Alumni Association Incorporated, marked as my first production I saw from PSF. Established in 2002, PSF is a professional theater company with an objective of helping the poor, elderly, sick and even the forgotten, has been consistently conducting free theater workshop in schools nationwide and continuously organizing outreach programs to various charities
