AIZA Seguerra (left) and Liza Diño get giggly at their “symbolic” wedding in Batangas on Thursday. INQSnap this page for more photos! SAN JUAN, Batangas—The bride, actress and beauty titlist Liza Diño, was aware enough to call it “a symbolic ceremony” rather than a wedding rite, since same-sex marriage is still not legal in the Philippines.

The event, held in Kota Keluerga here in Laiya on Thursday afternoon, was witnessed by the bride’s parents, Martin Diño and Marissa Bautista, and the groom’s, Dick and Caring Seguerra, as well as over 500 relatives and friends. AIZA and her family (from right): Dad Dick, brother Juanchi and mom Caring US wedding The couple was first married on Dec. 8 in San Francisco, California, where same-sex marriage was legalized in June 2008 (retracted in November that same year, and resumed in 2013). “We’re doing … [Read more...] about Aiza Seguerra, Liza Diño wed a second time

Ice Seguerra brought his wife Liza Diño to Sagada, a place he considers his “sanctuary,” to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. The couple arrived in the picturesque town last Wednesday, Jan. 8, as per Diño’s Instagram page on the same day.

According to her, Seguerra would travel to the said town every year since 2001 because he considered it his “sanctuary.” “Kaso no’ng time na yun… iba ang kasama [niya],” Diño jested. (But during those times… he was with someone else.) She then noted that seven years after they “found each other again,” Seguerra finally brought her along.

Companies inattentive to innovation get left behind--or worse, fail altogether. While those of us over 40 fondly remember starting our weekends with a trip to the video store, for example, the experience pales in comparison to conveniently streaming blockbuster entertainment from the comfort of your couch. While hailing a cab in New York City was fun the first time, there's nothing like the certainty of watching the map on your screen as a dedicated driver heads your way to pick you up. In other words, though one experience may have delighted us initially, a more innovative--and perhaps industry altering--option could be waiting in the wings vying for our business. Successful brands are those that out-innovate the competition. They never settle for the status quo, always seeking the next differentiator for their category. They survive in today's highly competitive landscape by continually evolving to deliver better products, better services, and--most importantly--better customer … [Read more...] about The Secret Ingredient to Finding Your Next Million-Dollar Innovation Idea

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As the U.S. deals with a baby formula shortage, actress and author Bette Midler posted a tweet that led to a bit of a feeding frenzy on Twitter. On Thursday, Midler tweeted, “TRY BREASTFEEEDING! It’s free and available on demand,” in response to a holy oligopoly, Batman-tweet from Stephanie Ruhle, the host of The 11th Hour and a Senior Business Analyst for NBC News : Midler’s tweet certainly didn’t go unnoticed on the Twittersphere and got quite a response, as in thousands of responses. One potential reason for the attention is that Midler is quite well-known for things ranging from singing “The Rose” and “Wind Beneath My Wings” to acting in movies such as Ruthless People and Beaches to advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. When a celebrity tweets anything, even if it’s about farting or art or both, it’s rare that no reaction will occur. But another reason was probably the specific wording of Midler’s tweet and the fact … [Read more...] about Bette Midler Tweets ‘Try Breastfeeding, It’s Free,’ Amidst Baby Formula Shortage, Here’s The Reaction

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Block 16 Urban Food Hall at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Photo: Jeff Green / Courtesy of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas When the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas opened in 2010, it became the hotel for the well-heeled crowd.
