Brandon Vera Back in Philippines, Has Close Eye on Potential Heavyweight Contenders

Brandon Vera

Reigning ONE Heavyweight World Champion Brandon “The Truth” Vera recently flew from his home in Guam back to the Philippines to wrap up a few commercial obligations, visit family, and just simply check out what he missed.

Vera and wife Jessica welcomed their first child together, Atreyu Timothy Craven Vera, last year in the US territory, and have remained there to ride out the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the first time Vera has returned to the Philippines since.

“We’re back here in the Philippines to come home for a second, finish filming our movie we started about a virus, before the real virus, and a couple of endorsement commercials,” said Vera.

One thing Vera will be doing this week is keeping a close eye on a couple of particular heavyweight matchups at ONE: UNBREAKABLE II.

ONE: UNBREAKABLE II, a previously recorded event from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore, scheduled for global broadcast this Friday, 29 January features former ONE Heavyweight World Title challenger Mauro “The Hammer” Cerilli of Italy who takes on Russia’s Abdulbasir “Dagestan Machine” Vagabov.

Also scheduled for action is four-time Muay Thai and Kickboxing Heavyweight World Champion Alain “The Panther” Ngalani of Hong Kong, who will face Senegalese sensation “Reug Reug” Oumar Kane.

The four men are highly regarded heavyweights, and are all trying to fight their way into a shot at Vera’s ONE Heavyweight World Title.

The 43-year-old Filipino-American combat sports veteran has held the title since winning the inaugural belt in 2015, and reiterates that he’s more than willing to put it on the line against a worthy challenger.

“These guys are amazing heavyweights, each with their own attributes to solve and figure out. I’m excited to see this event, and even more excited to watch and learn. I’m beyond hyped for all the recent signings of world-class heavyweight talent. It makes me nervous, which in turn, makes me train even harder,” said Vera.

“All of them are future opponents. Everyone is when you’re the champ.”

In a recent Global Conference Call with ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong, ONE Championship announced its latest renewed partnership with Turner Sports in the United States. On the call, Sityodtong fielded questions from media from all over the world, who asked about a wide range of topics, including the status of the heavyweight division and when Vera can expect to be back in action.

The promotion stated that logistics and contracts were still being figured out, but that fans would not have to wait long to see “The Truth” return to the Circle.

Currently, Vera is expected to face rising star Arjan “Singh” Bhullar of India in his next world title defense, although nothing has been finalized yet and a date has yet to be confirmed. Vera did, however, teased his impending return.

“I would say abangan ‘nyo (wait for it) for the first half of the year,” Vera said.

Dark pop songstress Naomi G upholds feminist virtues on new song “Prey”

“I wanted to empower young people who are faced with unwanted or unhealthy sexual attention that causes them to psycho-socially feel like ‘Prey’. This song is an anthem of power to those who have been gaslighted, dominated, manipulated, harassed and controlled based on their gender and looks. This song is a movement about saying no quickly and firmly, whilst understanding all the microaggressions that be before getting into any kind of deception” Naomi G puts it. 

Singapore-based artist Naomi G has released her contemplative pop single “Prey” in an attempt to reclaim greater tenure as a woman knowing her worth in a relationship. The track, invocative of Banks’ chilling despair on some notes and The Weeknd’s midnight sentiments on others, resolves itself by criticizing structural behaviors that oppress women and upholding virtues that are necessary to curb patriarchal pressures.

“Prey” is a brooding synth-pop jam that begins with motif-roving synths whose presence comes in forcibly and dips out in an exhale after the purposeful exercise of each line. A minimal percussion drives it, morphing into a choppy, playful, and hard-hitting stomper that’s enough to catch listener’s attention.

The resulting musical concoction builds up into a riveting climax where dark pop, trap and hip-hop accents come together seamlessly, complementing pop feminism in its own terms.

“Prey” is the second single for Naomi G’s debut EP which is scheduled for release over 2021.

Sangobion Shares about Healthy Blood in a Human’s Immune System

The challenges of performing work and home duties concurrently may feel like a never-ending loop as Work-From-Home (WFH) has become the new standard. Although everyone is doing their best to get a handle on winning in this situation, it is not easy for all women to handle this lifestyle change stressor, and coping may be even harder for working moms.

Pressures build up overtime and if unaddressed, it can result to chronic stress that may also affect your blood health. If you notice yourself experiencing symptoms of prolonged fatigue, lack of energy, and lack of motivation, it is time to reassess your lifestyle as you may be experiencing a case of iron deficiency anemia.

A healthy blood leads to a healthier immune system

Ang Dugo Mo, Kamusta? — is the question that Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+)wants every Filipino to have for themselves and their loved ones. Iron Deficiency Anemia is a common case in Filipino women and those with chronic medical conditions. And most of those who have it have learned to function despite experiencing its symptoms.

When the body has iron deficiency anemia, it is unable to produce healthy red blood cells which store and carry oxygen to the other parts of the body. The risk of not addressing this condition may take a toll on the immune system and the body can be more susceptible to illnesses and infections.

Small lifestyle changes to boost your blood health and immunity

Incorporating small healthy changes into your current WFH situation can help improve your blood health. Here are three easy ways to add to your daily schedule to fight iron deficiency anemia and keep your immunity healthy.

  1. Perform quick 12-minute exercise routines daily

There are plenty of workout routines available online that you can complete in under 15 minutes. But if you still find those taxing, just keep in mind that the goal is to have your heart rate up a little, so think of it as working out efficiently by exerting the right amount of effort.

This can be as basic as going up and down the stairs, jumping rope, or even just walking around the house for 12 minutes. If you want more intensity, you can try the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with short but intense bursts of activity with short break periods. Moderate exercise routines when done daily can boost your immunity. Plus, it also helps boost your energy for the day.

  1. Help your body fight off iron deficiency anemia with Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+)

Proper diet and nutrition help keep the body healthy. Going for nutritious meals over processed ones and choosing food rich in iron like red meat, beans, dark green leafy vegetables to add to your diet can benefit your body positively. But for those who are running on hectic daily schedules, monitoring a balanced diet might be a hard commitment to make. Taking multivitamins daily can help the body get the nutrients and minerals it needs when your food intake won’t be able to provide them.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body. 4 It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt which allows better absorption of iron in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 which are vital for production of red blood cells and during pregnancy. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production.

  1. Get quality sleep

Sleep is vital to having a strong immune system and while everyone is aware of this, not all are keeping close tabs of their sleeping routines. The National Sleep Foundation released sleep-quality recommendations, which include: being able to fall asleep in 30 minutes or less, waking

up for five minutes or longer not more than once a night, you fall back asleep within 20 minutes, and you’re asleep 85% of the time you spend in bed.

If you’re guilty of not meeting these recommendations, try to change up the way you get ready for bed. Create a healthy sleep routine by going to bed and waking up at the same time daily to train your body and mind on a schedule. Free yourself from your phone or tablet at least one hour before bedtime so your brain won’t be stimulated. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine like reading a book, meditation, or drinking tea to put you into a state of calm.

Consider these small lifestyle changes an investment to your health. When you maintain a healthy blood, it keeps you less vulnerable in getting illnesses and infections. Taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) helps regulate your blood iron, so you won’t have to worry about experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency anemia.

“Put Your Records On,” of Ritt Momney is now in the Philippines

Ritt Momney

Ritt Momney’s rework of Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Put Your Records On” is now a certified smash in the Philippines. The sleeper hit that catapulted the 21-year-old producer and singer-songwriter into global fame, has now reached a top 10 peak on Spotify Philippines’ Top 50 this week, and continues to impact mainstream radio stations such as Monster RX 93.1 (No. 8), 99.5 Play FM (No. 8), and more. Put Your Records On” is now available on all streaming platforms worldwide via Disruptor Records, Columbia Records, and Sony Music.

Jack Rutter, the man behind the Salt Lake City-based music project, is amazed by the attention that his take on the 2006 classic is receiving. “I didn’t expect the cover to be anything more than a fun little release in between albums,” he shares in a statement. “I was super surprised to see it taking off on TikTok. It’s been the coolest thing ever to see people from other countries enjoying it.”

The hip-hop-flavored, electro pop tune initially gained significant traction via online video platform, TikTok before it blew up on several music markets worldwide, including a top 10 placement on Australia and New Zealand’s official charts, and a No. 1 peak on Spotify US and Global Viral 50 charts late last year.

Released a few weeks ago, its music video finds Jack Rutter “imagining himself as a future pop star stuck in a psychedelic dreamscape.”

Ritt Momney’s version stays truthful to the pop sensibility of Corinne Bailey Rae’s hit record, but his trademark lo-fi production somehow gives the track a fresh, contemporary spin. “I really didn’t change much, and I think it’s really important to remember that what makes it good is the songwriting that Corinne and her co-writers did on the track,” says the multi-talented crossover act. “I may have modernized it a bit, but I hope people don’t give me too much credit for that.”

PYRO single cover

Corinne Bailey Rae, the original artist behind the soulful track, gave Ritt Momney her blessing in an intimate Zoom chat sometime last year. Like Ritt Momney, her original version became a huge hit when it first came out, peaking at No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart, and becoming a staple in several singing shows across the globe.

Reasons Why Having a real estate Properties is a Good Investment by Bossing Vic Sotto

Bossing Vic Sotto

Each Filipino has a story to tell especially about their hardwork and perseverance especially by our inspiring Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW). Being known as modern heroes, they decide to go abroad, find opportunities to achieved their dreams and hope and give their families a money from their hard work.

However, due to the pandemic, their savings might be spent on more immediate needs, especially since the current situation put the country’s economy into recession. That is why financial experts say that OFWs should consider putting their extra income into long-term investments, like real estate properties.

Take it from Bossing Vic Sotto, who has seen the importance and advantages of having property investments that he considers safe and a good source of passive income, especially for OFWs considering retirement.

“Investing in property is one investment that OFWs won’t regret, as long as they carefully plan ahead to make it successful. When you have done it right, you will reap the fruits of your labor,” Bossing said.

If you are an OFW, Bossing wants to show you why investing in properties can be the long-term investment plan for you.

Properties have a predictable cash flow. One of the benefits of real estate investments is its ability to provide you greater cash flow. Over time, the more you have paid off mortgage payments and operating expenses, the more your net income from the investment increases.

Properties can increase your assets. As you pay down your property mortgage, you build an equity–an asset that is part of your net worth. By growing your equity, you can leverage it to buy more properties, as well as to increase your cash flow and wealth even more.

Properties appreciate in value. Real estate’s value increases over time, especially when you invest and take care of it properly. For instance, a 1,000sqm property in a Quezon City subdivision  was worth 150,000 pesos during the 1970’s.  Now it is easily worth 150 Million Pesos.

Improving the property’s state can grow its worth. Since properties are made of tangible materials, you can change their entire look when needed. Whether you are designing to repair flaws or improve its cosmetics, changing its design will make it more valuable than its previous state.

Properties is a perfect retirement plan. The value and the cash flow of properties increases over time. So, the longer you invest in real estate, the more you can earn in the long run. It makes itself the perfect retirement plan for anyone who wants to continue earning even after retirement.

For OFWs, another option is to turn it into a condotel, which could generate easy passive income. And since the Philippines is an attractive tourist destination attracting visitors every year, it adds to the advantage for Filipino investors. Investing in condotels near tourist spots will grow your chances of success when the economy starts to recover.

Bossing also believes in preventing yourself from making common investment mistakes like choosing the wrong location or asset. Looking for reliable real estate developers will help you lay down your property investment roadmap to success.

Diamond Realty Residences – SALA

For instance, CitiGlobal Realty and Development Inc., a top real estate developer, which according to Bossing, is helpful as it offers affordable and income-generating properties in the country, provides high demand and affordable properties for investors.

The company envisions becoming a top real estate developer in the country, effortlessly putting the Philippines’s best tourism locations on the map through their real estate properties like Tagaytay Fontaine Villas, Tagaytay Clifton Resort Suites in Tagaytay, and Diamond Beach Resorts in Palawan, and other upcoming projects dedicated world-class real estate developments showing the beauty of the locations. And provide investment opportunities for OFWs to have back in the country and be with their families.
