From matching strength and wits with martial artist Jet Li, Mark Dacascos is now contending in a more difficult battle; he is "cha-cha-ing" his way to the championship of Dancing with the Stars with dance partner Lacey Schwimmer.
When asked how his experience at Dancing with the Stars compares with his martial arts scenes with Jet Li, Mark admitted during the We are One concert for Typhoon Ondoy victims last Oct 22, that "dancing is harder."
It’s been a month since typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng brought havoc in the lives of many Filipinos and yet up to now, there is still an outpour of help in the relief and rehabilitation efforts coming from different sectors to support those that have been affected.
A lot of showbiz personalities joined forces as well in helping out the flood victims.
Angel Locsin, a Red Cross Ambassador, spearheaded a campaign that will benefit typhoon victims and asked help from her celebrity friends—Anne Curtis, Dimples Romana and Kris Aquino to donate for her project called "Shop & Share." This is an online auction which showcases personal designer items of showbiz personalities whose proceeds will go to the Philippine National Red Cross’ disaster relief efforts.
REDWOOD CITY – Garnering 15 Grammys (and an unprecedented 44 nominations), seven Canadian Juno Awards, an Emmy, three Oscar nominations and countless monster recording hits with the world’s greatest singers in a career spanning 40 years - and counting - doesn’t just happen to anyone – unless you’re a born "Hit Man" named David Foster.
Continuing the success of David Foster and Friends last May at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, TC Entertainment and ABS-CBN International’s The Filipino Channel (TFC) have signed a contract to promote 2009 Hit Man David Foster and Friends in its North American tour: Chicago, IL (Oct 21); New York, NY (Oct 23); Newark, NJ (Oct 24); Boston, MA (Oct 25); Atlanta, GA (Oct 28); Tampa, FL (Oct 30); Hollywood, FL (Nov 1); Los Angeles, CA (Nov 5); San Jose, CA (Nov 6); and Vancouver, BC (Nov 8). TFC is the official Asian Media Partner for Television.
If you ever have the rare privilege to visit the homes of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills and other wealthy enclaves in Los Angeles, you will perhaps notice a common denominator --- the majestically fresh and awe-inspiring floral centerpieces that decorate and beautify the rooms. And the masterful hands that create them are those of Tommy de los Reyes, better known as Tomiko, multi-awarded Filipino-American floral artist.
Tomiko is often referred to as the favorite floral designer of the LA elite. He doesn’t have a flower shop, nor a website, nor any advertisement or brochure to promote his services yet his schedule is filled to the brim with orders from his loyal clientele.
"I cater to the rich matrons of LA. I just work from my home, creating my floral art which I send every week to enhance the homes of my clients," said Tomiko.

Thus is how the music critics described musician, songwriter and world-class Filipino jazz singer, Mon David. Launching his CD in the US at a concert with the same title, Coming True, David wowed his audience last Oct 4, at the Catalina Jazz Bar and Grill in Hollywood, LA. With his brilliant, husky tenor voice, Mon showed the audience why he was the runaway winner of the 2006 London International Jazz Competition, beating hundreds of participants from around the world.
