Filipino Pride at its finest at the Third Annual Filipino Festival in Malden Massachusetts!

I've been so blessed to have taken part as emcee/ events host for this and I certainly look forward to being part of it again next year, 2020! I'd like to share this awesome press release from the Malden Advocate:

This is the second in my series of blog posts about this astounding Filipino Festival that indubitably is the paradigm of all cultural festivals! Playing a big role in the last one makes me truly so proud to be Pinoy and makes me feel like I am going places. I'll never stop thanking Mayor Gary Christenson and of course, my very good friend, the hard-working visionary Engine and Founder of this annual celebration, Ms. Kristine Bautista! But I dedicate this blog post to a generous and exemplary man whose support continues to make the Annual Filipino Festival in Malden MA bigger and brighter each year!  

Kristine may be the festival's engine, but this man is the PUZOn [heart] of this annual Filipino Festival. I am talking about no less than Mr. Ronnie Puzon, the owner and broker of RE/MAX Trinity Malden! 

Born in raised in Boston, MA, Ronnie has proven that he was at par if not better than most Americans professionally. For two decades, he has been one successful equity trader in Wall Street. But what truly set him apart from other illustrious businessmen was his heart and zeal for service. When he retired in 2012, he "flipped" his passion for trading and real estate not just into a lucrative business, but as a vehicle to serve his fellowmen. That's when RE/MAX Trinity became a household name in Massachusetts for beyond just business, it is a powerful avenue to give back to the community by providing only the best real estate opportunities and services with global flair, and hospitality and care that is uniquely Filipino.

Through his reputable business, Ronnie had contributed so much to the Filipino community and beyond, as exhibited during the last, mega successful Filipino Festival! When he is not wearing his hat (or hard hat) as an excellent businessman and public servant, he travels and also participates in Marathons. In fact, he's completed the 6 major world marathons: in Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, London and Tokyo. Seriously, how much more amazing can this man get? Well, it doesn't end there for he just keeps getting better, and the reason why I don't have a Selfie with Mr. Puzon was that he was building homes in Africa. He might not have been with us at the festival physically, but he was with us in spirit! Keep raising the flag everywhere you go, and keep making Filipinos the world over, truly proud to be Pinoy, Ronnie! 

Raising the Filipino Flag in Lesotho Africa. Mr. Ronnie Puzon has made waves in the North American and Filipino communities and continues to make a difference as he shares his time and resources with the less fortunate all the way in South Africa.

For comments and questions about RE/MAX TRINITY MALDEN or to simply send your kudos to Ronnie, he'd be happy to hear from you at rpuzon@aol.com. See you all at the Fourth Annual Filipino Festival this coming 2020! Before you go, here's another video of yours truly hosting, so that you can feel the vibe and be eager to join and celebrate with us next year!

At the heart of the 95th Anniversary celebration of PriceWaterhouse Cooper Philippines Isla Lipana!

As you can see in the photo above, I was beaming with join as I emceed not just one but two events for Isla Lipana, Pricewaterhouse Coopers PWC. I first emceed for their 95th Anniversary celebration, where I wore a red gown, and a week after returned wearing my black cocktail dress for their PWC Alumni homecoming celebration... 

 Congratulations on 95 successful years, the number 1 in Asia, and counting! Above is a snapshot from the homecoming festivities, with some of the key principals of the esteemed company... 

And now, here are a few videos, starting with a spiel after the President's welcome remarks from the first event of PwC Isla Lipana (Price Waterhouse Cooper):

Read how Shopwise and Mommy Mundo teamed up for a very nice Surp-Wise!

SHOPWISE has given me fond memories back when I was around high school age. I recall how my family and I would always go there for some delectable apple pie, fresh breads, during the time when it was very therapeutic to come to the grocery store without breaking the bank. 

Today, I am so glad to have partnered with Shopwise and Mommy Mundo for their Homewise events, where moms from all over town came to learn how they too, can be "Wise" when it came to cooking, parenting their children better and living a great life within budget. And because they were all wise, many of them walked away with wonderful freebies and prizes!

Thank you so much Mommy Mundo and Shopwise for letting me lead this empowering experience! We all learned how to make Tres Leches cake and lasagna pizza rolls! Yum! 

No one came home empty handed, everyone got a freebie and a special prize. Even moi! Look how the sweet Shopwise team gave me a pack of goodies to bring home to my not-so-little boy too!

Plus, we had to thank these lovely mommies, especially Chef Golda Liamzon who taught us how to live the good life and make good and healthy food every day while being money wise! 

We had so many mommies, and even daddies in attendance! The official count was close to 300. Wow! And now, here is a glimpse of my opening spiels video:  

And lastly, a clip where  did some pre-event voice overs...

Up, up and Huawei! A thrilling time hosting for the Huawei Road show!

Huawei to go! Hover-boarding and hosting; I got to do both of these activities as I emceed for Huawei's road show, where they launched their newest smart phone! Check out this video below, where I did not just host, but I hover-boarded my way too! Yeehaw! 

Excuse me as I revel in how much effort I put in as a professional host. I mean, it's not everyday you get a host who can hover-board while on the mic while doing spiels. But hover boarding ain't my only talent; I can host while ice skating too! Read on my Shopkins on Ice post right here:

Marylaine Viernes Emcees and Skates for Shopkins on Ice!  

And below is one of the very few photos I had. I just arrived, and I could not wait to get this (road)show on the road! I had a super brief briefing, and then I was up (on stage)! 

I was just so delighted to have interacted with so many wonderful people, especially this lovely little girl named Heart... indeed, she was such a sweetheart and served as my co-host for a few minutes. 

And below here are a few other videos, starting with the opening ceremonies, where I invited people to check out our experience booths... no more hover boarding on these ones any more... 

And also we played a lot of fun games, watch! Huawei to go, everyone!

Breaking new ground: Leading the Hillsgate Pine Hills property preview and groundbreaking

“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.” - F.D. Roosevelt

Boy, I hope I'd met the late great President Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, who had led this great nation thru WWII and the Great Depression, to tell me this. I have joined the real estate game quite late in my life and I wouldn't say that my investments are very significant. So I am glad to be part of various opportunities to learn more about real estate, and am thankful for my numerous hosting gigs for helping me meet people and learn so much more!

 That's why I am very thankful and honored to have served as master of ceremonies for Pine Hills Residences' groundbreaking ceremony. With the savvy Hillsgate team:

Not only did we conduct a groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremony; we also entrenched a time capsule unto the property grounds. 

On a separate but related occasion, I also emceed for their sales drive and press conference, with their  many esteemed partners, brokers and of course, loyal clients in attendance: 

 Here's a clip of me hosting the company's sales drive and press conference:

What a beautiful day, and what a breathtaking view... 

Lastly, here's an amateur clip when I hosted the early morning groundbreaking ceremonies:

In on the covert tradition, one with the Masons for the Brotherhood's Centennial Celebration

Dan Brown, you got nothing on me! Finally, I'm in on the ancient secret of Masonic Order, serving as the Master of Ceremonies for their public installation of officers (Masonic Lodge Noli Me Tangere Lodge 42) and their brotherhood's centennial anniversary in the Philippines. 

Being a writer and an avid reader, I am still giddy about this experience, finding that underneath all the conspiracy theories about this brotherhood, they are actually just men of intelligence, honor, nobility with a loads of fun and modernity.  They even had cake! Like a wedding cake. How cool is that? Guess you can say this was a wedding of past tradition and modern fervor! 

I thank Ate Joy Uy, the wife of their newly installed leader, Jay Uy. She had put in a lot of effort here, she's a successful career woman but an even more successful wife and mother. 

She hand-picked me to be the emcee of this very important milestone in their family's life, and most especially her husband, Most Worshipful Master Jay Uy, most who truly deserves this great honor! 

Jay and Joy's two daughters are just so adorable too; I just loved our OOTD! It's not every day that I get to rock the mic in a Filipiniana... 

The event was truly one-of-a-kind, memorable and exhilarating. Not to mention the food was so amazing! Lechon, fresh sashimi, all the things I love! I can't recall if I loved the hosting part or the eating part more.

 I did not have a team along to take proper videos, so I got whoever was available. Warning: these are such terrible videos, but what the heck; I just have to get those videos up here and out there:

Hollywood glam at the Maxfreight Logistics & Multifreight Consolidator System thanksgiving gala!

It was the first time ever for me to attend a party where the guests and suppliers were gifted with cash gifts and were part of the raffle. That was how generous Maxfreight Logistics, Inc. and its mother company, Multifreight Consolidator System, Inc. were! 

They espoused a splendid Hollywood themed affair, with every detail of the program curated to reflect the company's values...

Here's my photo at their really beautiful old Hollywood cinema inspired design, the type you'd see in Reno, downtown Las Vegas and even in San Diego... great job to Paramint events, led by my very good friends since my grade school days, Jan and Paula Sebial! 

And another snap, truly reminiscent of old Hollywood... 

So honored to be handpicked as master of ceremonies leading this fête: 20 years dominating the industry; this is no small feat! 

Lastly, here's the only video I got for the evening as right after hosting, I then had fun dancing with the company leaders and employees!

Colours of summer at the SM Kids Fashion Casting Call SM Makati runway show!

Don't you just love the colours of summer? For me it's the best time to be all pretty and trendy! I land another exciting SM Kids casting call fashion show gig, but first off, let's take a look at my first ever casting call event, with my handsome, beloved boy, Godric Matthew as my very special guest; simply click on this link that follows below:

 Catch me when I call: SM KIDS Fashion Casting call! 

With the adorable graduates of this batch... they didn't only strut their stuff I also got to teach them. While I am no expert in fashion or modelling, I can certainly teach a thing or two about confidence especially as I've been an events emcee for a decade or so now! And here's the sole video I have of the event after mentoring the kids, I had to get them to fall in line properly for their moment: 

There's just so much love and joy everywhere! Just look at these kids...
