Is Kris Aquino the Right Choice as Endorser for Shopee?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Shopee, after choosing Kris Aquino as its brand ambassador, unwittingly endorsed Lazada." - Thinking Pinoy

Shopee, claiming to be the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan (just second to Lazada), welcomed Philippines’ ‘Queen of All Media’ Kris Aquino as the new Brand Ambassador for the 11.11 – 12.12 Big Christmas Sale...but that could mean the end of them.... at least from the DDS community.

It's a 'rare second chance in a lifetime:' Kris Aquino says she cried after getting one-year contract with Shopee. That's because she no longer has a career. TV5 turned her down and noone else is getting her as an endorser.

Mag uninstall/deactivate daw ng Shopee app ang mga DDS kasi si Kris Aquino ang bagong endorser. Go lang. Me and many others did the same when Manny Pacquiao was chosen as the endorser. Until now, I’m not using it.

Good morning to @krisaquino214 and Kris Aquino only.

Kris: Have you always been single?

Contestant: So far, yes..

Kris: How young are you?

Contestant: 33

Kris: Ah ok, that's the age of Jesus when he died.

And I'm DEAD. Iba siya talaga. 

Seriously, I may not like her as a person but she works as a comedian. The tactless and brutal sister of Noynoy and daughter of Cory and Ninoy, cousin of Bam and mother of Bimby and Josh is the mother that's pa-sosyal since she has the money, but not so bright like the joke about blondes being beautiful but dumb. But don't get me wrong, she's highly intelligent but just lacks being polite and sensible.

She's the typical lady who's going to mess things up but is funny as a laughing stock that you'll never get angry with her unless you're at the receiving end. You're safe as a spectator but in trouble if she has her eyes on you.... 

People do have negative stories about her

However, people do have negative stories about her...

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=742495072440605&id=100000403568356

But it's her. That's not what makes her .... Hhhmmm.... appealing, but how good she is in projecting a fake persona. She will look nice infront of the camera and the media and bloggers, but she's so arrogant and rude in real life. 

I think the only people Kris was nice too was her kids, her family and relatives, media and bloggers/vloggers, her fellow celebrities, directors and producers, sponsors and her fans club...which are still a lot. But definitely when she's all alone or in the company of her staff, she's not that nice as seen on national TV, 

But most people don't really mind since she hardly hangs around and stay to mingle or chat with others. 

So as a comedic endorser, she's going to be iconic. Does it matter if she's faking it? It doesn't for the fans since she's what we call a novelty...not only because she was related to the two former President of the Philippines and the acknowledged hero that got killed causing the overthrow of a dictator Marcos and family, but also because she's Kristeta, the shrewd left by former husband James Yap, the father of Bimby... as well as other men including Philip Salvador, the father of Josh.

Kris' story is both laughable and pitiful. She represents a past that is still trying to be relevant because people cannot put her animated life at the back of their minds. She will remain to be someone we can't stop laughing at because of her Prima Donna attitude, and lifestyle to boot, that needs some spanking from beyond the realms of reality.

The DDS can't praise her or any of her relatives because the current President is more inclined to ally with their past conflicts, and so wondering why until now they've not pushed to find out who killed her father.

With all the money and connection they had access to, there was never any news updates on any effort to find the killer of Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino.

By the way, Kris Aquino revealed a possibility of appearing in the 'Crazy Rich Asians' sequel. Though she had a cameo on the movie, it was forgettable since the scene can be omitted and the movie will still be a success.

If Kris was not affluent and had no connection to high society and media people, she would have been irrelevant by now. 

But without any doubt, she's still effective to call your attention because you can't really make up your mind if you'll love her or hate her for what she is. 

She's not famous, she's infamous!

The Government Versus Empowered Women: Who are the real terrorists?

Wazzup Pilipinas! 

A military official goes after celebrities he deems are left leaning. Imputes Angel Locsin of leftist connection, cautions Liza Soberano and Catriona Gray about aligning with the left and warns Soberano she might end up dead.

Again, the armed forces hit another record low through NTF-ELCAC Spokesman Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr's subtle death threat statement against Angel Locsin, Catriona Gray, and Liza Soberano.

Parlade said that if Liza Soberano continued to support Gabriela (where Dovetail spoke in their forum), she would die like activist Josephine "Jo" Lapira, the 22-year-old student from UP Manila who was killed in a clash between government troops and suspected members of NPA in Batangas.

Jo was unarmed when she was killed in an apparent "ambush" by the AFP. It is not only murder but a war-crime. The AFP is threatening these women with murder and war-crime.

"The choice is yours Liza. And so with you Catriona. Don't follow the path Ka Ella Colmenares (Locsin) took in the underground and NPA Quezon. I am sure Angel Locsin and Neri Colmenares will not tell you this."

They also red-tagged Ella Colmenares (Angel Locsin's sister).

Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque defended the dire warning of Parlade perceived by people as threatening and a form of red-tagging.

Roque says Parlade may just be warning Liza Soberano and Catriona Gray against being taken advantage of by communist groups.

Roque says Malacañang has no problem with women's rights advocacies but says they should be careful not to be used by 'communist' groups. 

There's nothing wrong with using your influence and platform to speak out and advocate women's, or any other rights we have as human beings. 

Delusional macho-fascists in the military can't comprehend the idea of women asserting and openly advocating women's rights.... which is why they are so threatened.

After all, sexual violence is part and parcel of military violence.

Several members of the AFP have peddled this narrative. FYI AFP, your mandate is to protect the citizens, not threaten. Stop red-tagging us.  Sending subtle death threats is nonsensical.

Witnessing celebs viciously being red-tagged by the same institutions perpetuating the sex slave narrative, all because they spoke out for women’s rights. What more for common people like us. The media will not even give us a spot in their newsbits because we're not popular to be newsworthy. 

The brazen red-tagging of well-known personalities by the AFP/PNP just shows that they have no qualms in their quest to silence dissent. 

Men like Roque and Parlade and women in government like Pialago and their sycophants think that women like Liza Soberano, Catriona Gray, Angel Lock-in,  Reina Mae Nasino, Jo Lapira and many others are so stupid that they wouldn’t know the causes that they advocate. Geez, talk about dumbing down women in the 21st century!

The narrow mindedness of these officials is mind boggling!

There's really no rock bottom for these people.

Anyone and everyone easily becomes their target. Why are we allowing this?

"How come these macho-fascists have the audacity to mansplain strong women and lecture them on what to do?" Gabriela Women's Party said of the NTF-ELCAC, which has, on more than one occasion, been caught spreading disinformation. 

Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas: “Her courage to speak out against gender-based violence amid the intensifying culture of impunity should be admired rather than silenced and criticized."

I'm for women standing up for women. Let macho-fascists shrivel to the size of their raisin balls (or most probably only a booger)  before strong, empowered women.

Whether you’re a Liza Soberano or a Maria dela Cruz, you have a right to express your thoughts, your dissent, your passions, free from intimidation from government. It is laudable though that personalities promote social causes, including women and girls’ rights, that they believe in.

It is a pity that those in power choose to spread lies and in the process belittle the capacity of these artists to think for themselves.

This flimsy basis of Parlade to accuse Liza Soberano applies to all of us. Parlade is saying that associating with these groups, even when they are not rebel or militant, will lead to death. And if not, there's the anti-terror law to send you to jail.

"General Parlade mansplaining to Liza Soberano how to properly think and act as a young independent woman is proof that Gabriela and what they and Liza fight for are correct.

Liza Soberano or any girl or woman should not be told by any general how to think, what to think, who to talk to and what social issue to take on. Girls and women could think for themselves. 

General Parlade’s claim that people turn into activists or revolutionaries only because of deception reflects more about his IQ and EQ. People have studied, analyzed and fought oppression and exploitation throughout history. Unsurprising that Duterte promoted a low IQ/EQ general.

Parlade’s intrigue does not negate or erase the legit concerns of Gabriela and Liza Soberano. In fact, Parlade is a walking audio-visual example of sexism, threats, brutality and other problems of girls and women."

What's stupid with Parlade red-tagging Angel, Catriona, and Liza as part of the NPA is that he's only making the people question if the NPA really are "bad".

These women have done relief work, became images of women power, and so on.

Does that mean the NPA are like those, too? Maybe the real terrorists are the military after all. 

Advantages of Holiday Party Catering

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Do you want to know what the benefits of having your next summer party catered are? If you are like most people, then you probably have been thinking of a way to make your next summer party a little bit more special than just a typical family get-together.

A little bit of planning can go a long way. The last thing you want is to have to throw a great party to find that you are running out of money before it gets started. 

You also want to make sure that your food will taste just as good as if not better than if you were eating in the traditional method. The truth is that there are a lot of advantages that come along with having your party catered. 

Are you familiar with the traditional methods used in party catering? Have you tried to make a meal for yourself at home? If you are, you know that it can be very expensive when preparing all of your meals. 

It might be possible for you to make it to a certain point, but you cannot control how much you can make it hard to prepare.

With party caterers, you can be sure that your guests are getting the food they want and that the food will taste just as good as if you prepared it. 

This can go a long way in making your next summer party a success. Not only are you going to save money, but you are also ensuring that your guests are having the type of food that they deserve. 

There are a lot of party catering companies out there that specialize in specific types of parties.

This means that if you want to have a Christmas party, a birthday party, a corporate event, or even an intimate gathering, everyone will be comfortable and have a lot of fun. You will be able to find just about anything you are looking for, and if you do not find what you want, you will never have to worry about it again. 

This means that you are guaranteed that your next party will be just as great as the one that you had the first time around.

Getting A Small Cheap And Good Party Catering Service

Finding a small cheap and good Holiday Party Catering service is not as difficult as you think. There are many different catering services out there with a wide variety of packages that you can choose from. 

However, you need to make sure that the service is one that you can use for many years to come and not just for one night.

Searching on the internet for a small cheap and good party catering service can be one of the most effective ways of doing this because all you have to do is type in the word "catering service" into your search engine and then go through the results. 

You will then find many different websites that specialize in these types of catering services, and all you have to do is go through them and see which one can best fit your needs and budget. 

However, you should also make sure that the food that is being served is of good quality and does not have any rotten apples because if it does, you are probably going to spend money on it again.

If you do not want to go through a website to find a small cheap, and good party catering service, you will want to look for these types of catering companies in your area and see who you can get on a first-name basis. 

This way, you can ensure that they are reputable and will not take advantage of you. 

After contacting some of the companies in your area, you will then need to search their menu so that you know what kinds of dishes they have available, and if they can accommodate your particular tastes. 

If they can not, then it will be a sign to you that they will not give you quality service and will probably end up not being able to give you the kind of quality service you are looking for.

Catering for Parties For Family And Friends

Catering for parties is a big thing in our lives because parties can be a lot of fun, especially when you get to invite your friends and family to join in the festivities. 

While there are many things that you need to think about when it comes to hosting these types of celebrations, there are also plenty of things that you can do yourself to make sure that everyone who comes to your party has a good time.

The first thing you need to do is find out what kind of food you will have. For the most part, this will depend on how much money you are willing to spend, but if you are planning on having the whole party cooked, you will need to find out what kind of food will be good for your guests. 

While you might find that you can eat a large group of kids, you may want to go with something a little more adult-oriented. You could also offer drinks and snacks to ensure that everyone has a good time and can enjoy themselves. 

When you are serving food at a party for family and friends, it is best to keep a few guidelines in mind to not end up ruining the atmosphere that you want to create.

The first thing to do is to make sure that the food you are serving is fresh and not something that will just sit around in your fridge for a long time. 

Many people use for catering to their parties to hire a caterer to come in and do the food preparation and cooking for them, but this can end up being quite expensive in the long run. Instead, you will want to take some time to shop around and find the best deals on the food. 

While the food does not have to be fancy, you will want to choose something that will be acceptable for the guests to eat. 

This is a great way to save money, but you will also be making sure that you are serving a great meal for all of your guests, not just some of them. When you are choosing your food, it is best to choose foods that are easy to prepare for guests to eat.

The Best Holiday Catering Menu

The best holiday catering menus are not easy to come by. Most caterers only know the basics, such as using fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain pieces of bread as their bases. 

Other foods can be used, such as turkey or ham, but in a very small amount. The best holiday catering menu will take into consideration your budget, your preferences, as well as what you can afford.

When choosing the best holiday catering menu, consider the types of food you want to serve. You may be serving a holiday feast for your whole family, as a group, or you may just be inviting a few guests over for a romantic get-together. 

If you are going to serve a holiday meal at home, you might want to think about having it buffet style, where the buffet table is set up with side dishes and several bowls of food.

If you're hosting the party at someone else's home, you can make your own Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner. 

If you are trying to find the best menu for a group of people, you may want to have a buffet-style menu with everything spread out on separate tables. Again, the point is to have the best food possible, not just enough food for everyone, but enough food to please everyone.

Some foods will simply not work well as a holiday catering menu, such as too salty or spicy items, or that would not be suitable if served in a group setting, such as a child or a family member's birthday party. 

Many caterers will be more than happy to accommodate any requests that you have. They will also be able to give suggestions to foods that would go best with each other.

If you plan a themed dinner, such as Halloween or Christmas, make sure you look at your holiday catering menu choices and make sure that you do not use items that would clash with the theme. 

You should also ask your caterer if they have any ideas on making your holiday cooking even better than it is already. They may have some suggestions that you did not think of before.
