Full Gallop Stars Cherie Gil as Diana Vreeland

Wazzup Pilipinas!

My Own Mann Productions, the newly-formed theater company of CHERIE GIL and Actors' Actors' Inc (AAI) proudly announces its debut offering for 2014 with “ FULL GALLOP ” a play about fashion doyenne Diana Vreeland.

Written by Mary Louise Wilson and Mark Hampton, FULL GALLOP focuses on the life of Diana Vreeland, who stood at the center of American style for five decades. 

As editor of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue magazines, and as a member of the International Cafe Society, Diana chronicled the extraordinary people and events of her time.

FULL GALLOP is a portrait of this remarkable woman at a turning point in her life. Vreeland has just returned home to New York after four months in Europe—a trip she took after being fired from Vogue magazine. She throws an impromptu dinner party in the hope that a wealthy friend who is invited will bankroll her in starting a magazine of her own. Other friends, however, attempt to persuade her to take a job at the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art. In her distinctive style, once she decides in which direction her life will move, she goes at it "full gallop."

To those planning to get an NBI clearance today,  instead of battling it out patiently in a depressing queue, you might just want to wait a couple more days.

Many had to fall in line at the National Bureau of Investigation offices even earlier than 2 am just to be among the first people in line.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced in a press release dated January 23, 2014 that applicants for the NBI Clearance can now apply and fill out the complete form online.
