Last November, mindful of the recent devastation brought on by super-typhoon “Yolanda” in the Visayas, Hair Asia went “green” for its “Salon Spectacular 2013:” The stage was designed like a green house and they gave away a green Yamaha motorbike. They also unveiled a billboard on global warming.

The grand winners were: Noel Pomuceno for the Ladies Creative Color & Haircut category; Rem Miguel of Sir George Salon for the Gents Creative Color & Haircut category; and John Cliff Dima-Alba for the Progressive Evening Hairstyle & Makeup category.

Kuh Topbills Free CF Concert Series

Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma will be staging a free concert series in all Casino Filipino (CF) branches in Luzon and Metro Manila this month.

Bong Quintana, Pagcor assistant VP for Entertainment, expressed excitement over Ledesma’s upcoming shows. “We are very happy that we will be able to offer our casino patrons and guests a spectacular concert series topbilled by no less than Ms. Kuh Ledesma. She is no doubt one of the Philippines’ pride, an international and a multi-talented artist,” he said.

Ledesma’s concert tour will kick-off at CF-Olongapo today, March 1. She is also set to perform in CF branches in Parañaque (March 7), Tagaytay (March 8), Pavilion (March 14) and Angeles (March 15) as part of CF’s “March to Summer” offering.

A certified crowd-drawer, Ledesma was among few Filipino performers who easily filled up big concert venues like the CCP, the Araneta Coliseum, the PICC and the Folk Arts Theater in the ’80s.

The Philippine music legend has been active in the industry for 35 years now and has performed in more than 1,000 concerts and has recorded 20 albums. She was the first Filipino ever to receive the Salem Music Awards in March 1989.

Ledesma’s repertoire for her CF shows would include original hits and covers of the music of Barbra Streisand and Adele, among others.

Meanwhile, Not Your Ordinary Boy and Girl (NYOBG) – composed of Backroom talents Carlo Sawit, PJ Go, Avery Paraiso, Benj Bolivar, Kaye Chua, Maui Lumba and Bon Jovi Osorio – goes on with their “Not Your Ordinary Show” series today, at CF-Pavilion.

Their show continues on March 14 at CF-Mimosa, March 20 at CF-Hyatt, March 22 at Airport CF, March 29 at CF Olongapo, April 3 at CF Olongapo, April 9 at CF Hyatt, April 12 at Airport CF, April 23 at CF-Angeles and April 26 at CF-Pavilion.

“Since joining NYOBG, we have been together for over a year now. We’ve bonded together and it shows during our performance dahil comfortable na kaming magkakasama. We consider ourselves as one big, happy family,” said Carlo, PJ, Benj and Avery.

Kaye and Maui shared, “We’ve been friends since college. Now that we’re in NYOBG, mas lalo kaming naging close sa isa’t-isa.”

Bon Jovi added, “I always look forward to our performances at Pagcor. Not everyone is given the chance to perform live onstage. It also prepares us for our future activities. Plus, it’s lots of fun!”

After appearing on “Maria Mercedes,” Bon Jovi is preparing for a special project.
