Actor Luis Alandy shared his blessings with the students of Cradle of Joy Foundation last Feb. 12, as part of his birthday thanksgiving celebration.
The Kapuso actor gave book shelves, a hundred storybooks, coloring books and crayons to students of the foundation.
Luis shares that he values education, reason he chose to celebrate his birthday with the students. “Sobra kong pinapahalagahan ang edukasyon. kaya ginusto kong mag-celebrate dito kasama ang mga bata at kahit papaano ay ma-inspire sila na mag-aral ng mabuti at pahalagahan ang edukasyon nila para sa magandang kinabukasan,” he shares.
Luis is part of GMA’s ongoing afternoon prime series “Innamorata” where he plays leading man to Max Collins.
“It’s my first time to play a lead role. Aspiring commercial director ako dito but my dad wants me to take over our business. Pero nabulag ako, so, hindi ko nakita na si Max pala ay may skin disease kaya sa bodega siya ng factory namin naka-assign. But I fell for her kasi mabait siyang kausap. But siyempre, my dad (played by Michael de Mesa) do not approve our friendship,” Luis explained.
Luis has been a Kapuso for the last seven years and has appeared prior, in top rating shows like “Broken Vow,” “My Lover, My Wife” and “Binoy Henyo.”
Incidentally, Luis will be joining Chef Boy Logro on February 23 on “Kusina Master: Sikreto ng Eksperto.” Luis will be preparing a dish perfect for people who choose a healthier lifestyle: Shredded chicken salad.
Joining Chef Boy in separate dates are, Alden Richards, LJ Reyes and Julie Anne San Jose.
Alden, who will join Chef Boy on Feb. 25, will be sharing his take on adobong manok sa dilaw.
On Feb. 26, versatile actress LJ will listen to Chef Boy’s practical tips on how to cook Beef Fillet with gremolata and semi-dried tomato polenta.
Kapuso singer-actress Julie Anne, on the other hand, will help our kitchen expert in preparing thai basil chicken stir fry on Feb. 27.

Pampering Session At Empire Salon
We had a “pampering session” recently at the newly opened Empire Salon at the ground floor of Intercontinental Manila Hotel, courtesy of the owners. You can call the place an “empire of style” because of its powerhouse team of hair and beauty stylists, all educated and trained in the United Kingdom.
The salon also seemingly embody a London-like ambience, akin to entering Harrods or strolling along Oxford Street.
Empire Salon’s beauty philosophy promises to find the best look for you without compromising your own individuality.
For those who wish to enjoy pampering in complete discreetly, the salon also offers private suites that, as Salon owner Anne Tan points out, come “with an iPad.”
“All services will be available in the private area so it becomes a one-stop-shop for our VIP guests,” she adds.
According to Salon manager Angelie Manabat, Empire Salon is all about “professionalizing the salon industry.”
“All of our stylists are London-educated because we put a premium in continuous education, we have a commitment to the craft and we want to develop people,” she elaborates.
The long-term vision of Empire Salon is making Manila the epicenter for hairdressing. Manabat added, “We want society to give due recognition to people in this field; that they are professionals too and we encourage people to work in this industry.”
Empire Salon also offers quality hair, nail, makeup, and depilation services using top-of-the-line beauty products.
