ADDLIB Dance Crew Interview Series: Featuring Calvin Metran

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Here’s another update my friends!

Now here is for another round of interviews. I was able to interview next Calvin Metran which will be handling Girlicious and DanceHall.

Again there were bass speakers in my chest because of nervousness but just like with Elgin, Calvin was very cool with the interview and the questions I asked him. It was like chatting up with an old friend as I can say it.

He has been a dancer since he was in Highschool, at 27 years old you can say he is a Pro already just with experience alone – but Calvin actually told me that he wants to learn more so he went to the United States to be fully trained for three months in Florida under world class choreographers to hone more of his passion – dancing.

Regine Tolentino’s Top 5 Parenting Tips That Will Benefit Your Child Most

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Every day we make it a point to have one family meal together," shared Regine Tolentino during her talk at the biggest family event, Baby & Family Expo Philippines.

Multi-talented actress and TV host imparted what she had learned about parenting from her own upbringing and her experiences as a mom herself. Born of Kapampangan parents, who had migrated to the US as teenagers, met and married there to raise a family, Regine reminisced about how it was to grow up in the US in a non-Filipino community.

"We're very tight knit...very communicative," Regine stuttered a little as she said this. She was unhesitating in admitting that her family life was far different from that of her peers. She attributed her solid family unit to the efforts of her parents to raise them as Filipino Catholics.
