She has that classic face that could launch a thousand ships. She gets paid for appearances, offered millions to act in movies and even more for endorsements. But this time she’s doing it for love. Celebrated actress and television star Rhian Ramos will once again don the red Toyota racing suit and go wheel to wheel with a grid of 31 race-prepared Vios Cup racecars in the highly anticipated Toyota Vios Cup this weekend, May 24, at the Clark International Speedway. And she is giving you the chance to ride along with her. Seriously. It all started three weeks ago when Rhian became my first customer after I offered myself up as a personal chauffeur in a Maserati Quattroporte to raise funds for a colleague whose 2-month old daughter needed heart surgery. The photo of her in the back of the Maserati was enough to send the bidding war into a frenzy. From a lofty goal of making P20,000, in that one weekend alone, the Maserati chauffeur drive had earned P234,000 just by ferrying folks around. Other big time names with even bigger hearts like Iza Calzado helped out, as did Marlon Stockinger, Rovilson Fernandez,  Ryan Agoncillo and Juday, that by the end of my two-weekend stint, the car had fetched (both figuratively and literally) P538,000 for Alessandra’s operation. It also captured the hearts of thousands of people who in one way or another, helped us raise P200,000 during a charity auction and benefit concert last Sunday where Basti Artadi Read More …

Senior men’s national teams from the 208 member associations of FIFA compete in what is said to be the biggest single-event sporting competition in the world. Following major partnerships with tennis’ Australian Open and basketball’s NBA, Kia Motors Corporation is now an Official Partner of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.

Other than the thrilling matches, fans, both young and old, also await and enjoy the unique World Cup mascots representing the host country and the spirit of football. This year, Fuleco, a three-banded armadillo native to Brazil, is the 2014 FIFA World Cup Official Mascot.

Young booters aged 12 years old and below can join the Kia Mascot Friend tournament on May 17 at the Alabang Country Club where a panel of judges will be present to assess the kids’ football aptitude, personality, and ability to articulate himself well. From the tournament pool, eight kids will be selected for a final interview to be conducted by the judges where eventually, one final participant will be chosen. Aside from a match Read More …

MANILA, Philippines – You may have been used to scrambling to ride the jeepney, bus, taxi, MRT or shuttle to and from the office. But let’s face it, the challenge it has upon us is that we are at the mercy of the availability of these public vehicles not to mention the time spent getting a ride or waiting in line to board.
