Russian Federation Ambassador Igor Khovaev on November 29 at the Pandesal Forum of 77-year-old Kamuning Bakery Café in Quezon City expressed optimism on strengthening of Philippine-Russia diplomatic, economic, military, cultural, anti-crime and anti-terrorism cooperation after what he described as “the successful meeting between President Vladimir Putin and President Rody Duterte in Lima, Peru”. He said Russia looks forward to President Duterte’s 2017 state visit to his country as “a historic event”, that details are still being planned by both sides, that President Duterte prefers not to go to Moscow during the cold winter.

Khovaev stressed that Russia is against any closed military alliances which usually target third-party countries, that is why Russia has no military alliances in Asia but just close strategic partnerships with China, Vietnam and India. In the same way, Ambassador Kovaev said Russia seeks partnership with the Philippines, but not any military alliance.

Ambassador Kohvaev added that Russia can sell and export modern military equipments and arms to the Philippines, that Russia does not sell second-hand weapons or vehicles, that their military sales shall also include support for military training and technology transfers. He cited as a good example of a good customer for Russian military exports for decades is the country of Vietnam.

Ambassador Khovaev said he likes the Benguet province high mountains’ Arabica coffee served at Kamuning Bakery Café (he drank 4 cups), urging the Philippines to be more aggressive in exporting agriculture and food products to Russia. In eating the pugon-baked pandesal breads and trying the old-style pugon baking process of Kamuning Bakery Café, Khovaev also said Russia is today the world’s No. 1 biggest wheat producer but the Philippines still doesn’t import any Russian wheat yet. 

Color Manila Announces 2017 Events and Entry to International Market

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The story of Color Manila seemed like a love story. When Jay Em, President of Color Manila, stepped up on stage and told us their story, we thought we would then again turn teary-eyed after hearing him out.

But it was not as tearjerker as our teleseryes since Jay told us more about their many accomplishments which made us overwhelmingly happy for them. Not just because of their success as a company, but because they are also making a name for our country the Philippines. We were smiling more when they told us about their future collaborations in the international market like Dubai. With just five years, you'd think they are still a baby, but no, they are all grown up to compete even globally.

Fun Runs were never the same when they introduced their "color" concept in the country, and many other fun runs tried to emulate their style. But sure enough, nothing compares with the original. Watching the video presentation while waiting for the program to start gave us a positive outlook of Color Manila as they successfully captured the fun and excitement of being a part of the biggest fun run organized by fellow Filipinos.

The Color Manila media launch was held at Kerry Sports, Shangri-La the Fort on November 29, 2016. The event was hosted by Nikko Ramos and attended by the founders themselves, Jay Em and Justine Cordero - President and Vice-President of Color Manila respectively, together with International Relations Vincent Narciso, Fitness Coach and Athlete Chris Everingham, Running Coach and Color Manila Ambassador Ico Ejercito, Color Manila Events Manager Thera Reyes, and Ilocos Sur's Jose Paolo Gallardo, plus a special video presentation of Joshua Atkinson from Dubai announcing the international collaboration.
