Greenwich Ultimate Bandkada is Plethora!!

PRESS RELEASE


PLETHORA Is The Greenwich #UltimateBandkada Search Season 2 Champion

It’s official: PLETHORA is this year’s Greenwich Ultimate Bandkada.



The group, composed of LJ Herrera (vocals/bass), Aldrin Isaguire (keyboardist), Jesser Pello (drums), and Andrew Isaguire (lead guitarist), won the seal of approval of the judges after their fantastic rendition of Ultimate Barkada Experience with a neoclassical metal and rock, but also a reggae and alternative twist. The group emerged as the top band among the eight finalists at the culminating event held recently at Valkyrie at The Palace in Taguig City.

The Greenwich Ultimate Bandkada Search Grand Face-Off began with an opening number by B-Boys, Season 1’s Champion. Greenwich kabarkada and MTV VJs Yassi Pressman and Andre Paras took center stage along with Greenwich Ultimate Bandkada Season 2 resident host, Mon Ti. Witnessing the electrifying show was a mix of music moguls, musicians, band supporters, and members of the media.

Civ Fontanilla (Viva Records), Yumi Lacsamana (Viva), Sheyee (Viva), Armi Millare (Up Dharma Down), and Denise Manahan (JB Music) had the tedious task of judging the eight finalists for the night. At the end of the night, Plethora won the much-coveted title of Greenwich Ultimate Bandkada Search Season 2 Champions. They also received 100,000php and a recording contract with VIVA records.

“We’re very happy with the win! We gave our very best starting from day 1” says LJ Herrera on their victory. ABCG came in second, while Happy Ending came in third.

Bagging more than one title that night, our Ultimate Bandkada Champions, Plethora, also took home the title of Favorite ng Barkada after they successfully earned the most number of votes from the official online poll of the competition.

“Greenwich is once again successful in providing a venue where best friends can bond and enjoy awesome music over great food. This ultimate barkada experience is not only evident tonight but throughout the duration of the Search. We are thankful that Greenwich is supporting OPM this way. Music is a great way to foster friendship and this initiative cannot do a better job than it already has. We are happy to be a partner of The Ultimate Bandkada Search for two years now and we look forward to more in the coming years.”, shares Val S. Del Rosario, Viva Communications, Inc. Vice President for Production and MTV Pinoy Content Head.

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
