4 STREET FASHION INSPIRATION GOT nothing to wear again? Want to wear something stylish yet comfortable? Looking for ways to dress like your age? Street fashion answers these “problems” with ensembles that are easy to put together and pull off.
Layer it up
Wearing multiple clothing in this sizzling temperature might be a bad idea, but summer doesn’t mean you can no longer layer. Opt for light undershirts and blouses and pair them with cover-up in light material as well. For those working in offices whose air conditioners are set to “ice-cold,” go for bomber jackets or sweaters that you can take off once you go outside.

Cropped hemlines are stylish
Keep it cropped
For summer- and street-appropriate outfits, look for tops and bottoms with cropped hemlines—or better yet, just fold them up, which you can do with pants. When done right, shorter and folded hemlines instantly make ordinary pairing look better and the wearer much taller.

LOOK PRETTY ON TOP OF A TRICYCLE. Anne Custodio's amazing makeup tutorial video shot on top of a moving ticycle is now viral on social media.
NOT YOUR ORDINARY
MAKEUP TUTORIAL
Clothes in dark shades exude a cool vibe
Try muted hues
In the sea of bright and pastel colors of summer, go the other way and opt for ensembles in muted hues to exude a cool and nondescript street look. (On Him: Mossimo jacket, H&M pants, Saucony Jazz Low Pro in green; On Her: Urban Hour clothes, Saucony Shadow Original in plum)

AKEUP tutorials of beauty vloggers are a gem especially to those who have little to no idea how to properly do their eyebrows or make a cat eye. The success of said videos lies heavily on the skills of the tutor.
But Anne Rhycie Kate Custodio is not your ordinary makeup tutor. This Ilongga does her makeup on top of a moving tricycle, and takes a video while she’s at it. The video, posted on the Facebook page of Range Advertising, went viral a few hours after it was uploaded. Pak Na Pak Sa Trayk has been watched for over two million times and shared 39,000 times, as of this writing. The six-minute clip shows Anne on top of the three-wheeled vehicle traversing the street of Iloilo City as she transforms from bare faced to glammed up. She begins with rubbing a block of ice on her face, to tighten her pores, giddily follows it up with primer, foundation, setting powder, and blush on. She then beautifies her eyebrows, as she quips: “Acads is life, but kilay is still lifer!” Her inconvenient position doesn’t
seem to bother her—or it does, but she doesn’t show it—as she expertly applies eye shadow and mascara. Anne finishes off her look with a few enhancements on her nose line and a swipe of lipstick. Anne then removes the rollers on her hair to reveal her loose waves, and poses and smizes for the camera. At the end of the entertaining video, she manages to look prettier and stay on top of the tricycle at the same time—girl definitely got some mad skills. While some of us can’t even draw symmetrical eyebrows. Also, props to Anne for keeping a straight face and calling out the person who catcalled her while filming the video. The video is part 2 of Range Advertising’s “Kabalan sa Salakyan.” The first part, which also went viral, shows Anne doing her makeup inside a moving jeepney.
Add a quirky accessory to your ensemble
Add a pop of color
If your style leans on the fun side, don’t hesitate to add a splash of color or quirk in your look. But remember the keyword: “add” which means, don’t overdo it to keep it stylish. Wear a jacket or shoes in bright and bold color or wear socks or scarves with fun prints.

WHAT FRESH GRADUATES NEED TO HAVE TO GET A JOB EMPLOYERS have spoken, and the number one factor they look for in a fresh graduate before hiring them is attitude, according to a recruitment portal’s survey. JobStreet.com Philippines country manager Philip Gioca said that employers are looking at the attitude of applicants since most fresh graduates are millennials—and millennials have the reputation of leaving work after a
short period of time. “One of the things we always hear is employees leaving in a very fast rate,” shared Gioca. Employers, he said, are now looking for applicants who are positive in terms of working and stay longer in terms of tenure. The JobStreet Fresh Graduates Report 2017 also revealed the second thing employers consider is the field of study of the applicants, and if this

is related to the position they are applying for. They are also looking at the asking salary price of applicants. This result is different from last year’s survey which found the top three considerations of employers had something to do with prior professional experience of the would-be employees: (1) on-the-job or internship experience, (2) extra-curricular activities, (3) and part-time jobs.
When it comes to attitude employers like about their latest crop of fresh grad hires, they like their willingness to learn, personal grooming, and being a team player. Meanwhile, companies said fresh grad hires need to brush up on their analysis of situations, English language proficiency, and problem solving ability to be able to move up in their career.

JAMES REID’S NEW PASSION
Y
OUNG matinee idol James Reid is best known for his impressive resume of film and television roles. And as a versatile talent, he has also made a legitimate name for himself in different creative areas including dancing, singing and song writing. It is safe to say that James has been in front of the cameras since people could remember. But little did they know, the 23-year-old actor also enjoys being the one behind the lens. What started as just a hobby for the young heartthrob has slowly become something that is now almost an everyday routine. From taking photos using a camera phone, he has taken this new found passion to a new level by using a digital camera. “I was just using my cellphone camera until I got my cameras. These really help capture what you see. So, it helps capture your memories better. Also with videos, you appreciate memories more in the long run,” James reveals. In a previous interview with Manila Standard, James said that he started with photography in 2015. Although he can’t consider himself as a professional lensman, he’s proud that people appreciate his being experimental in terms of choosing the subjects for his photos. “I just take photos of what I think beautiful,” he adds. James showcases most of his works through his Instagram. His feed is a mix
between his personal life including his globetrotting adventures. Recognizing his keen eyes and his growing passion for photography, James has been named by a popular camera brand as the face of the cameraloving generation called millennials. He headlined the launch of Fujifilm’s newest mirrorless innovation, the X-T20 on March 11 at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati. Hundreds of fans trooped to the venue just to have a glimpse of their idol promoting the brand. The ubiquitous heartthrob joined the brand’s executives in launching the handy and powerful X-T20, which is equipped with a 24.3 MP X-Trans CMOS III *1 sensor and X-Processor Pro image-processing engine. It is able to track moving objects with ease because of updated sensors, processors, and redone AF algorithm. The camera’s LCD monitor can be used to see before you shoot photos and videos, even at 4K quality to make those professional looking movies. “It’s great to endorse a new camera that I love and use frequently,” says James of the new camera. Being a strong and highly influential presence on social media, constantly updating his fans with welldefined photographs, expect more vivid photos and movie quality videos from James with his gadget that captures great moments and special memories.

KRIS BERNAL DARES TO BE BOLD
SHE was made of all things sweet and wholesome until sexy became a word associated with Kris Bernal as she started spreading good vibes on social media, posting photos of her self looking comfortable in her own skin. In a recent photo shoot in Pundaquit, Zambales, the 27-year-old actress treated her fans to sneak peak of her latest project with photos of her wearing two-piece bikinis. In one of the posts, the fitness enthusiast said, “This is exactly the point in my life where I need to ditch the excuses and start being an adult.” If being adult means, basing on the recurrent theme on her Instagram feed, is dressing down and showing more skin, then people can assume that she’s already ready to appear on the cover of popular men’s magazines. Two years ago, she started shedding her “tweetums” image when she did a photo shoot for “Muse Philippines,” an online photo magazine, which features modern, brave, and inspirational women. In an interview after feature went up online, she was asked if she’d dare to appear on FHM cover, Kris just said she’s still too young for such bold move. Meanwhile on TV, Kris stars in the new Kapuso drama, Impostora, which is a remake of the network’s eponymous 2007-primetime soap of the same name.

Apart from music and acting, young heartthrob James Reid considers photography as one of the things that adds zest to his life.

TV PROGRAMS
THAT GIVE SUMMER FEELS
TELEVISION has started bringing in the summer vibes. Hence, it’s not surprising that along with the must-visit summer destinations, viewers also see bikini clad women and half-naked men parading on the TV screens. On this weeks listicles, we are having a rundown of local TV shows that give us the summer feels even before the temperature reach to unbearable scorching level. Ronwaldo Martin and Hasmine Killip as teenage couple living on the streets in the acclaimed indie film "Pamilya Ordinaryo"
THE OTHER
MARTIN
By Nickie Wang
H
is name is Ronwaldo “Ron” Martin, a young actor who has starred in a couple of independently produced features including Captive, Laut, Tuos, Pamilya Ordinaryo, and the film in competition at the recently concluded Sinag Maynila Independent Film Festival, Bhoy Intsik.
During the film festival’s official media launch, a few members of the press were asking if Ron was anyway related to FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano star Coco Martin, who first made a name for himself on indie scene before he crossed over to mainstream. One senior scribe overheard the conversation and immediately butted in saying, “Yes he is, he’s the younger brother of Coco. They’re half-brothers.” It’s clear that a lot of people still barely know his name. But unlike most upcoming showbiz wannabes, Ron wanted to be known for his own merit and not because he has a brother who is already popular in showbiz. It’s even rare that you would hear him mentioning his brother’s name unless asked by the press. “I want to be recognized for my own talent and not as Coco’s brother. I wanted to have my own brand and I wanted to make a name in the field of acting,” the softspoken Ron said in vernacular. In real life, Ron is a man of few words (literally). He rarely talks but when the camera starts rolling, the 19-year-old actor transforms into a character entirely different and larger than his humble personality. In an interview with Joel Lamangan, the director of Bhoy Intsik,
he said that Ron is a very professional actor and can even equal the popularity of his older brother. “He’s good. Mahusay siyang umarte at napakalaki ng kanyang potensyal na mai-develop bilang isang mas mahusay pang artista dahil sa kanyang pagiging natural,” Lamangan shared. Ron started his acting career via Ari: My Life With A King, a Metro Manila Film Festival 2015 new wave entry. Since then, he’s swamped with numerous projects including a movie that starred Nora Aunor (Kabisera). He plans to follow in the footsteps of his brother and make it big as well in the entertainment industry. Perhaps, his most notable project was Pamilya Ordinaryo, a movie that tackles poverty porn. In the story, Ron plays a teenage father and a street dweller that makes a living out of stealing in the streets. The film has been recognized here and abroad being the big winner at the 2016 Cinemalaya. It won the Audience Choice Award at the 2016 Venice Days competition, an independent event on the fringes of the Venice Film Festival, and just recently the Best Film in 27th Director’s Week section of 37th Fantasporto International Film Festival in Porto, Portugal. With a positive disposition, a humble personality, a look that resembles his brother (of course), and a raw talent as a young blood, we might see him realize his dreams in no time.
‘HOTTEST MATH TEACHER’
PIETRO BOSELLI INVADES
IT’S easy to understand why Isabelle Daza enjoyed her sexy “Bato-Bato Pick” game with Pietro Boselli, or why Ellen Adarna was so open about flirting with the Math instructor—he is definitely one hot property. People Magazine’s “Hottest Math Teacher” was in town for a couple of modeling engagements being the face of a popular clothing apparel’s latest campaign. Prior to his arrival, netizens noticed that a couple of photos of him wearing (and not wearing anything) Bench undies kept on appearing on their social media timeline. And a couple of hours later, the Engineer and fashion model surprised his Filipino fans with a photo of him standing in a corner of a street in BGC. London-based Pietro earned his moniker after some of his students posted his pictures on Face-
book in 2015. He has since been modeling for several international fashion and accessory brands. He started modeling at the age of 6, when he was scouted by Armani. He stopped for a bit while he was 11 years old and went back to it when he was 18. He was around 15 years old, when he discovered his love for math and physics, after reading Einstein’s The Evolution of Physics. He was teaching math for engineering to second year students at UCL when a photo of his went viral. And just like what they say, the rest is history.
Bubble Gang Every year, for the last 21 years, the popular gag show presents a summer special that its loyal fans eagerly anticipate. But it’s not only during summer season where Bubble Gang dishes out something that excites ogling eyes. Take Kim Domingo in a skit with one of the cast members for example. Her presence alone is a big draw even if her comic timing is a bit off sometimes.
Wildflower It wasn’t called Wildflower for no reason. While Maja Salvador plays an interesting character in the primetime series, her leading men (Joseph Marco, Vin Abrenica, and RK Bagatsing) are the ones who make the drama too hot for TV. They show off their chiseled physique, almost all the time possible – while in the rain, in the bedroom, in the outdoors, you name it. And nobody is complaining.
ASAP The stage of the weekly musical program never fails to give audience reasons to stay at home on a Sunday. For one, ASAP has been a venue where the hottest young stars of the network converge to give not just some wholesome entertainment but also production numbers that make televiewers drool. And that’s the main selling point of ASAP. No wonder, the show has stayed relevant for the last two decades.
FINE SPECIMEN. Londonbased model and Math instructor Pietro Boselli is in town for modelling gigs.
Meant To Be In the Philippines, summer means long hours under the sun and people frolicking on the beach. This is exactly what the millennial themed series Meant To Be is giving its viewers. From the viral “pa-abs ni Mayor” photo of Jak Roberto, Ken Chan, Addy Raj, and Ivan Dorscher in one of the first episodes of the series, Kapuso network did a repeat of the welcoming sight, this time with Barbie Forteza finally donning a two-piece bikini.
