MANILA, Philippines – Among today’s showbiz celebrities, Regine Tolentino ranks high among the list of age-defiers — the elite few whose youthful looks and lithe physiques make it look like they’ve stumbled upon the secret to immortality. Unlike her much younger contemporaries who have all succumbed to “going under the knife” to hack away at those unsightly fats and unwanted pounds, Regine can only shake her head at such shortcuts, which only provide short-term results. In her book, real wellness — and the beauty that springs forth from it — comes from within. A stickler for the all-natural approach to fitness, Regine’s success story is a testament to the benefits of a healthy diet, regular exercise, a happy disposition and a harmonious family relationship, which have made her the best choice for her latest endorsement for Organique, a nutritional drink derived from the Acai (pronounced ah-sah-ee) berry originally found in the Amazon jungles, which has been recently touted for its miraculous health benefits. “It was my brother and his group of martial artist friends who first told me about this Acai berry,” Regine recalls. She adds, “And it was serendipitous that the Organique people approached me during an event last year, where they encouraged me to try it. And because I loved the results, I’d always tell my friends about it. I guess that’s when they realized that I’d make the perfect endorser, along with Ms. Cory Quirino, another tireless health and beauty advocate.” Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: Read More …

An Indian stock broker reacts as he watches the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) index on his trading terminal in Mumbai, India, Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2015. Chinese stocks fell Tuesday for a fourth day, hitting an eight-month low amid signs Beijing was no longer buying shares to stem a price slide, and Japanese stocks also dropped. But other Asian and European markets bounced back from a day of heavy losses. AP/Rafiq Maqbool BEIJING — Employees of one of China’s biggest securities firms and one current and one former employee of its market regulator are under investigation on suspicion of illegal stock trading, state media reported Wednesday, amid the collapse of a stock price boom. Three other brokerages announced they are under investigation for possible violations of rules on confirming the identities of customers. The announcements come amid the collapse of a stock price boom that has seen China’s market benchmark lose more than 40 percent of its value since early June. Authorities have accused securities firms of manipulating prices, suggesting the ruling Communist Party might be trying to shift blame for the collapse, which angered small investors. Eight employees of state-owned Citic Securities Ltd., including one surnamed Xu, are suspected of “illegal securities trading,” the Xinhua News Agency said. It gave no other details, but a leading Chinese business magazine, Caixin, reported on its website that Xu was the firm’s managing director, Xu Gang. The Chinese police ministry announced July 12 that investigators had found “evidence to suspect that individual trading Read More …
