Celebrating Pride Thomson Reuters LGBTF Style

Last month (June) reminded me that it's already halfway through the year. Aside from that, it marked a month long celebration of Pride where people are invited to party on the streets wearing white. But most importantly, it reminded me of the unending cry of LGBT people for equality.


June 27 - 30, 2011 are the dates Thomson Reuters LGBTF (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgenders, and their Friends) in collaboration with Thomson Reuters Manila (My employer) celebrated the Pride Month in a different way. Instead of having the usual Gay Pride Themed Party, Thomson Reuters LGBTF organized and launched an art exhibit entitled "Exploring the Art of Individuality."


What a good way to celebrate Pride than to show some of the talents of various Thomson Reuters Employees 
(who are members of the LGBT community) in Painting, Make Up, Writing, Photography, and Fashion Styling.


Here are the entries showcased in the art exhibit...

Lei Ponce (Make Up Artist) showcased some of his fabulous
 Avant Garde make up works.


Luise Cajayon (Photography) entry entitled "Coming Out" 

Kelly Valencia  (Photography) entry called "Know Yourself"

Onil Villacorta (Painting) 

Angelito Jao (Writer) submitted his poem entitled "In The Beginning"  / 
 Kris Oliver Panganiban (Multimedia Artist) submitted a collection of his different festive 
looks entitled "Drag Racer"

and my entry....
James Patrick Diche (Fashion Styling) submitted pictures of some 
of the celebrities I styled for the past year.



The art exhibit did not only showcase the talents of Thomson Reuters LGBTF members. It also validated Thomson Reuters' advocacy to promote diversity and equality within and outside the company.

Till next Pride!

How Lame Can A Politician Be??

L-A-M-E!!!
------------------------------------

As you can see, my post about the Philippine Rugby Team's Underwear Billboards in Guadalupe is the Top viewed post in my blog... well sadly, their billboards were rolled down as ordered by Mandaluyong City Mayor Benjur Abalos. Said instruction was issued after he received a tweet from another Mayor (from somewhere) named Sherwin Gatchalian, that he's having troubles explaining to his niece why the athletes are wearing nothing but underwear. Lame!

It's sad that the Gatchalian guy is stupid enough not to be able to explain properly to his niece the reason behind everything. Underwear billboards can be seen all over the Metro even before I was born.

It is double standard to remove billboards of men in undies while allowing billboards of 
women in bras and panties!

I say it's a lame excuse to earn free publicity Mayor! Why don't you focus on more important issues like how to clean Pasig River, which is by the way, the only thing left to see after you removed the Philippine Rugby Team's billboards!

Mario Maurer for the Bekis? For the Girls? for Penshoppe!!

Who loved him first? The Bekis or the gels?
--------------------------------------

Yes, you read it right!

Earlier last week- PR Asia Worldwide confirmed by tweeting that Asian Heart Throb Mario Maurer will be coming over to Manila to endorse the Hottest Clothing Brand in the country as of the moment PENSHOPPE.


Following the much talked about endorsement of Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick, PR Asia is definitely on a roll!

(Remember this?)

I know some of you guys are wondering who is Mario Maurer... 


This cutie is definitely famous with the girls and girls (at heart)! That's why when the news came out, Mario Maurer immediately  trended worldwide on Twitter the past week  


For the benefit of those who are not familiar...
Mario Maurer (Born, December 4, 1988 with a mixture of Thai, Chinese , and German blood) is a famous actor/model in his home country Thailand. 


At 16, Mario became a commercial and print ad model...



... and in 2007 he made his feature film debut where he played "Tong", (a teenager who fell in love with another boy) in the movie "The Love of Siam".  


This movie earned him popularity, not just in his home country, but also all over Asia. He even won the "Best Actor in Southeast Asia Award" in the 10th Cinemanila International Film Festival for the said film! (That's how big the bekis in Manila love him and the movie!)


(and here's the infamous kiss from The Love of Siam)

Now, how did the real girls (in Manila) learn about Mario Maurer? It was when his 2010 flick "A Little Thing Called Love" was shown in a local TV Channel, that the girls in Manila started going crazy over Mario! Why not? Mario played a more mature role in that film.


Mario already tweeted last week about coming to the Philippines which makes the followers of the cutie, in our country, all the more excited.

So the answer to the question as to who loved Mario first is pretty obvious!


I'm just glad PRAsia and Penshoppe made the right decision to get him as an endorser ... 
I think he suits the brand well!

Here's Volume Magazine cover in 2010 with Mario Maurer wearing short shorts!!
Enjoy Bekis!
