TO THE WOMAN OF WORTH, (YOU)

This advocacy is born out of a heart that is passionate to witness a generation where every woman is well-aware of her worth in a holistic point-of-view: physically, emotionally, socially, legally and most of all, spiritually and Biblically.

In a world where women experience inequality, violence and discrimination, this advocacy aims to raise up Christ-Empowered Women, who live to empower her home, her husband, her children, her ministry and career, her generation and her nation.

This advocacy believes that this is her time because she is PRISCILLA TODAY.

2 DAYS TO GO BEFORE TRAVEL TIME!

So, our CEO approached me to tell me that I was set to DO A COVERAGE IN AN ASIAN CRUISE with stopovers Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and more—ALL in a week’s time. WAIT WHAT?! O_O

I remember praying to God early this year about my deepest longings for a great adventure. But that prayer was like a prayer I thought God would put in a time capsule and answer it in years.

I remember praying for God to expand my territory—which I thought He had already answered by giving me all the three TV stations (ABS-CBN, GMA and TV5)—but surprisingly, He really meant MORE for me. He was willing to give me more than TV stations, He meant giving me nations.

It feels like whenever I pray, God would answer me with a wide open Heaven that He just gives me MOOOOOOOOOOORE than what I asked in His SOONEST response. His love is just so captivating.

OH GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS IN MY LIFE, GOD! Global domination for His Glory!!#LiveToLeaveALegacy

SHIP UNIT: The Super Star Virgo



I just love the feeling when celebrities and business owners instagram my articles and then text me their heartfelt thank you's :> and how their fans tweet about how inspired they were reading my articles :')

Thank you Lord for trusting me with this kind of influence  GLORY TO YOU ALONE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our “Mommy-in-the-office” ERIKA CORONEL!

I love you so much and all your very “mommy” advice for me :> 
KIIIISS!! Here’s to “stabilo green” and more power to CELEBRITY MOM magazine.


Early this year I asked God to enlarge my territory. Didn’t know how He would do it—but right before I knew it, I upgraded from an ABS-CBN journalist…into a journalist for ALL THREE of our country’s biggest TV stations :> ABS-CBN, GMA and TV5, HERE I COME!!

Can’t wait to “Power of One” everyone :)) 
MY CAREER. HIS GLORY.

ENTERING A NEW YEAR does NOT necessarily guarantee us clean slates and fresh starts. The truth is…we all go back to exactly how we left it. We go back to the same stress, the same workload, the same challenges, the same worries, the same problems, and all the same life shenanigans—BUT! We CAN go back with a NEW ATTITUDE—a newly recharged attitude towards our own realities/daily lives that will motivate and inspire us to continue pursuing the purpose of God in our lives!

Let’s choose a HAPPY attitude in our work, everyone! #PowerofOne#LiveToLeaveALegacy

Just got a memo. PROMOTION. Wait—what?

It's so hard to rejoice when I know a lot of my fellowmen are striving to survive this bad storm but this is my FIRST EVER JOB and I'm truly overwhelmed by everything that has been happening in a span of 7 months (and 1 month as a regular employee). And now, GOD brings me into a season of change and promotion from an Editorial Assistant, junior associate to finally a Staff Writer, senior associate. I am 20 now and I can’t help but wonder where I’ll be at 25 or 30 

Welcoming ACCELERATION, yes! Thank you Lord for this early Christmas gift. I also want to extend my gratitude to our CEO/president Ms. Sari Yap for personally making this decision and telling it to HR:’) THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AND EVERYBODY WHO SUPPORTED AND INSPIRED ME IN MY JOURNEY, IN ANY WAY! Looking forward to open the next chapter in my life.

Also to give back, I would want to invite you all to join me this Saturday morning at DSWD office for relief operations

Dinner with SER CHIEF at his newly-opened restaurant named WANGFU CHINESE BISTRO at Quezon City's food capital—Tomas Morato  

Got kilig when he approached me and said "We already met before didn't we?" :>

On my 2nd time meeting Kim Jones and Echo at SM Aura, I was then in the middle of writing a comprehensive story of their love life :))) So follow-up questions and #morekwentuhan

Here's a snippet of my article: (Buy our next issue to read the other 4 pages!)

Who’s to say how people fall in love? For some, falling in love has to do with proximity, being close to one another that they can’t help but fall deeper in love. For others, it’s brought on by situations where they bring out the very best in each other. In the case of Kim, falling in love with Echo was not one defining moment, but rather it was a gradual progression of their friendship where along the way they both discovered so many little endearing things about each other, until it naturally blossomed into a beautiful relationship. It was the kind of relationship where imagining a future together felt so real, easy and exciting, “How did I know that Echo is the one? I think that maybe you can only know it by experiencing all scopes of emotions, challenges, triumphs and tribulations together. It was really how we both dealt with things and how we listened to each other. We would talk about our past, all the hard times in our lives.”

And so I go into a trance thinking of the ball tonight...STAR MAGIC BALL 2013!  (preparing--thus, rollers all over my head) 

Well I don't know why, but with you I'd dance in the storm in my best dress...fearless.


One magical night that sparkled with people dressed to the nines.

I remember getting down the car and these two guards escorted me to walk the red carpet. Suddenly, everything appeared unreal to me—there were like thousands of cameras flashing at me and the next thing I know, microphones were in front of my face.

In my most overwhelmed state of being, people started throwing questions at me about who I’m wearing, my expectations for the ball, and finally, how it’s like to be part of the Star Magic Family……..and it took a while for me to realize what was actually happening –“Eh, media din po kasi ako! Hahaha!” #StarMagicBall2013

After one year, we meet again, Kuya Lyndon!! He's my boss during my ABS-CBN OJT after Araneta internship






Here's to those who hate selfies......a selfie! :))) it's a long day today...

Bonding with XIAN LIM and his mommy Mary Anne  naaaaaks level up...meet the mother ang peg haha! K.


 'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile!!
As I’m currently transcribing my interview with Xian Lim and his mom, I can’t help but appreciate how his mom was so open to sharing to me funnier and more interesting stories about her son, during that time. 

Booster cards pala Xian ha? Haha! and high-five for oil painting too

HIS MOM: You know, he also paints!!
ME: Really? Great! Ever thought about putting up an exhibit or selling some paintings?
XIAN: Eehhhh. hiya ako eh.
HIS MOM: See! She's right! Sumunod ka sa amin!

CUTE!!!! :>


ALAS! Despite storms thrown our way (literally--ehem Bagyong Maring on deadline week), we were still able to successfully produce one of the surely best issues 

With that said, cheers to our "love and commitment" for this..because "walang bagyo-bagyo pag kailangan maglabas ng produkto" NYAHAHAHAHAHA  GRAB YOUR COPIES, GUYS!!! 
 




Spent my whole Saturday in bed reading MEGA  Grab your copy NOW NA ROAR!!! such a beautiful issue about traveling + fashion + life 





To me, this night was a fairy tale come true :> A magical ballroom. Masquerade. Dancing. Classical music. People in their grandest and finest gowns. Fancy masks everywhere creating an atmosphere of mystery and a desire to look beyond and know more.

Just like DOWNY's newest fragrance in its PARFUM collection....."Mystique"

Yours truly at the 2013 MEGA PINOY PRIDE BALL in my Greek goddess inspired Arnold Galang gown (from Ms. Sophie Menor) and glittery strapped heels from Debenhams (from Pichie Basmayor) 

My ultimate PINOY trait is that I love eating. I eat only two times a day....number one, when I'm hungry and number two, when I'm not hungry.
