Zia Quizon's sophomore album "A Little Bit of Lovin"



Zia Quizon is back with another album "A Little Bit of Lovin," with eight original cuts including Zia's compositions and two classic revivals released by PolyEast Records. 


Zia Quizon recently launched her sophomore album at Sequoia Hotel. Pasakalye is the carrier single of her album. She sang 3 songs from her album and the famous "Ako Na lang". For more photos click HERE



Grab your copy now! Zia's sophomore album is titled "A Little Bit of Lovin" and back with her worldly, earthy soul voice with the new single "Pasakalye" written by Jungee Marceio. "Pasakalye" have hit the radios and a music video will be launched on MYX Channel soon.



With a new album that will definitely show Zia's ability to push her own boundaries, the new cd includes a remake of White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" and OPM classic " Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran" borrowed from 70s Pinoy folk rock band Asin.

Aside from Zia's notable vocal performance, her songwriting craft shines through the songs "Under and Over", "On The Run", "A Little Bit of Lovin", "Sweet Memories" which throw her trademark bluesy vocal and really got something to talk about the artistic evolution of or,= of the country's most-anticipated singer-songwriters.

This journey must have embraced the legacy that both her parents have given her - ZsaZsa Padilla, her mother's singing prowess and her father Dolphy Quizon's funny charm - but reveals an artist who has gone through a musical transformation paving her mark in the industry.


 So pretty Zia Quizon

Zia Quizon (singer/songwriter) continues to dabble in different sounds and styles, also included in the album are collaborations with talented songwriters and singers like "Katulad ng Iba" featuring Gloc-9 which was made in support to "NOT IN OUR SCHOOL Anti-Bullying Campaign"; a soulful "Kung Ayaw Mo Sa Kin" composed by Francis Salazar; and the song "Bakit Dl Ka Crush ng Crush Mo" became an original soundtrack of the same movie title also written by Junjee Marceio.

"A Little Bit of Lovin" is Zia's follow-up to her self-titled debut in 2011 with the chart-topping and award-winning songs "Ako Na Lang", "Dear Lonely" and "Simple Girl", has sold more than 10,000 copies. Our 22-year old acoustic Jazz singer brought home her first Awit Awards trophies for Best Female Recording and Best Recording by a New Female Artist in 2012.

"Ako Na Lang," the same song which proclaimed Zia as one of this generation's rarest commodity, also won the 2011 Awit Awards "Song of the Year" for songwriter Jungee Marceio and Zia's single "Simple Girl" for Best Engineered Recording for Nikki Cunanan. In 2012, Zia also received MYX Music Awards 2012 as Favorite New Artist.

"A Little Bit Of Lovin" is now available for downloads on mymusicstore and iTunes wordwide.

World Vision supports powerful film Boses in promoting Child Protection

In support of the Cinemalaya classic film Boses (Voices), World Vision Development Foundation, Inc., led by its senior board members Glicerio Abad and David Huang, recently joined the premiere showing of the advocacy film which relevantly touches the issue of child abuse in a well-told story filled with compassion and hope for children.
 


"The film’s difficult theme, drawn intricately by Direk Ellen, captures our hearts and challenges us to care more about the fragility of our children’s protection and well-being,” shares Filomena M. Portales, interim national director of World Vision, in her official endorsement of Boses.
 
“It pushes parents, the government, decision makers, NGOs and other civil society groups to uphold the protection of children and prevent all forms of violence including abuse, neglect and sexual exploitation. It calls for a strong collaboration [of the different sectors] towards a political will to make child protection a priority agenda of the government,” she added.
 
“We should focus on child protection and family wellness. When we focus on the children of our society, so many blessings will come,” shared Boses Director Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil as she opened the premiere evening held last July 23, 2013 at the SM Megamall, Cinema 9.
 
After its debut in the prestigious Cinemalaya film fest last 2008, Director Marfil finally decided to venture Boses into mainstream distribution following positive reception and insistent demand from various advocacy groups, government agencies and the academe.

Last summer, as part of director Marfil's  advocacy partnership with World Vision, Boses also inspired the child-focused ministry's community partners and field staff in its special screening during World Vision's Children's Congress in Cavite. It was also shown in the recent National Education Forum organized by World Vision. The forum was attended by education practitioners from different parts of the country.
 
As a child-focused organization, World Vision is committed to making child protection a top priority. It strives to promote an environment that is safe for children through its advocacy programs and partnerships with like-minded groups and initiatives such as the film Boses.
  


 Partners in stopping violence against children.  Filomena M. Portales, interim national Director of World Vision with Boses director, Ellen Ongkengko-Marfil at the premiere night last July 23. 
 
“Boses will make the viewers realize that it would really take a village to raise a child. World Vision is one with Direk Marfil and the rest of the cast and crew of Boses in crying out to stop violence against children and for parents to use positive discipline rather than corporal punishment in teaching them right values,” said World Vision Advocacy Manager Kathrine Yee.
 
Boses tells the story about a mute boy who gets rescued from the violent hands of his father and found a safe place in a child-friendly shelter house which leads him to a unique friendship with a reclusive violinist who eventually mentors him. Both seek their joy in playing the strings as they cope with pain and find healing through the power of music and unconditional love.
 
The critically-acclaimed film, which also earned raving reviews from its exhibitions abroad, boasts of a powerful musical direction with Filipino pride world-renowned violinist Coke Bolipata at the helm and child music wonder Julian Duque, who both had their first acting stint in the movie. Veteran thespians Ricky Davao, Cherry Pie Picache and Meryll Soriano complete the brilliant cast.

The movie is set for a nationwide release at SM Cinemas starting July 31. For more details, visit and like Boses the Movie page on Facebook.

The Body Shop supports BayaniJuan

The bags are handcrafted by the residents of BayaniJuan, ABS-CBN Foundation’s relocation site in Calauan, Laguna.  It is a community composed of over 5,000 families who used to live in informal settlements along Estero de Paco and those who were left homeless by typhoon Ondoy.   They continue to rebuild their lives through the support and kindness of government and private organizations like The Body Shop.  


Just like The Body Shop, BayaniJuan “makes its products with love and care”.

Justin meets Isabel's other man in “TODA MAX”



Watch out on this Saturday’s (July 13) episode of “Toda Max”, as Isabel (Angel Locsin)

 and Justin (Vhong Navarro) cross paths with a boy from Isabel’s past who promised to marry her.



Joe (Zanjoe Marudo) is a childhood friend of Isabel. Before parting ways, he told her that when they see each other again, he would ask for her hand in marriage.

An adventurous person, Joe just happens to be the opposite of Justin—he is exciting and spontaneous and Isabel happens to find that very attractive. What’s more is that they run into each other during a trip to an amusement park, and that just makes the meeting all the more romantic.

Will Isabel and Joe fall for each other this time around? Are Joe’s old feelings strong enough to stand true even if Justin is already in Isabel’s life? To add to that, how can Justin even compete with old promises?

Tune in to “Toda Max” this Saturday (July 13) to find out, airing on ABS-CBN Channel 2 after “Maalaala Mo Kaya”.
