Scrooge the Musical: A Superb Christmas Treat from Repertory Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Usually, we’d go places to celebrate the holiday to commemorate the spirit of Christmas. An example are performances set onstage. For ballet, it’d be the Nutcracker. For stage musicals, it’d be the adaption of The Christmas Carol. This year Repertory Philippines presents the perfect holiday affair with Scrooge the musical, an adaptation by the musical legend, composer, lyricist, and playwright Leslie Bricusse. This version was taken from the music and screenplay of the 1970 musical film Scrooge.

Based on the mentioned novel by Charles Dickens set in Victorian era Great Britain, with countless number of adaptations on TV, movie and stage through the years. Tells about the story about the bitter miser of a businessman named Ebenezer Scrooge and that fateful Christmas eve.

As we relive this holiday classic, we take a trip down memory lane and rekindle such memorable characters such as Harry, Tiny Tim, the Crachits and the Fezziwigs to the familiar tune of “Sing a Christmas Carol", which you might have sang unconsciously from before.

BPI Has A Holiday Season Special Treat For Our Modern Day Heroes

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Working abroad is no walk in the park. A number of Filipinos still choose to leave the country with the hope of giving a better future for their family. Our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) earned the label “modern day heroes” because of this remarkable sacrifice as they are not only helping their family but the whole nation as well. Based on statistics, OFW remittances have reached about 2,107 million U.S. dollars in September 2014. The testament of the significant contribution that our modern day heroes bring back to the country is the continuing rise in remittance from our OFWs.

In its continuing commitment of serving and building a stronger tie with our OFWs, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), continues to further improve its products and services to address the rising needs of OFWs and their families. BPI will be welcoming our modern day heroes this holiday season at the new BPInoy Corners, a “one-stop” spot inside the bank that will cater to the needs of OFWs and their families.

The BPinoy Corners are strategically located in selected locations where there is high volume of OFW clients. The BPInoy Corners will be manned by a dedicated sales associate that will provide clients with professional guidance in remittance, loans, investments, and other financial needs. The BPinoy Corners can be a one-stop spot in BPI banks that addresses the needs of the OFWs and their family with ease and utmost care.
