Hollywood's "green and sustainable" ECCO ULTRA LOUNGE was the site for the launch of Apl.de.Ap’s new, revolutionary global record label JEEPNEY MUSIC on Tuesday, August 11th. This label was founded by Apl, a.k.a. Allan Pineda Lindo - the hip-hop musician, record producer, and member of the Grammy-Award winning group, The Black Eyed Peas - on the principle of giving back, both to his homeland of the Philippines and to the global community.
What do me and Michael Jackson have in common? A legion of fans world wide? Dozens of multi-platinum records? Being a dancing machine? Actually it's something almost equally as awesome, having eaten food prepared by Chef Larry! A good 8 years or so ago there was a film premiering in San Diego by the title of "The Debut." Being the first full length feature film to be produced, directed, and staring Pilipina/o Americans aired in theatres it was definitely a very momentous occasion for the community, and I had the privilege of being able to volunteer for the release at my local theater. I remember it being very hectic and I was extremely hungry; I then see this delectable looking sandwich on the table in the mock "green room" that was created in the theater. I plop down on the chair in front of the table and take a humongous bite in the (to this very day) most absolutely delicious sandwich I have ever eaten.

A new dance crew from South Bay San Diego made their debut on Friday May 29th at the VuQo Launch party. The scene was at CBS Studios in Hollywood, in front of Pil Am celebrities and guests, many witnessed their eclectic style of hip hop dance flavor. It was a thrilling and anxious moment for the group. But their hard work and determination were all displayed on stage.

Last Friday night, over 400 guests were partying up at CBS Studio Center in Studio City. It was the official launch party of a brand new premium vodka called VuQo (Voo-Ko). What makes this Vodka special? Its source comes straight from the coconuts of the Philippines. The company was founded by Rich Cabael. Along with his management team, they launched this festive gathering as a way of celebrating for all their years of hard work. With a venue on the New York Streets set, mixed with a red carpet and celebrities, rocking performances, and a VIP lounge - the stage was set for one eventful evening.
