Book Feature: JUST TIIS Pilipinas + Exclusive Author Interview with Rommel Carrera

Studies say that listening to music while reading can help you relax and focus better but what do you think about a book that has its own original soundtrack? 

Yes, you heard that right! We just found a book that has its own soundtrack. JUST TIIS Pilipinas is a book series that provides its readers a more immersive experience through its original music soundtrack. This is definitely bringing book reading to the next level. 

Book 1: Heroes, Monsters and Puppet-Masters is about five Filipino teenagers who acquired superpowers based on their troublesome traits (chismosa/ rumor monger, naughty prankster, plastic, creative stealing.) In the book, they must learn to use these powers and battle Philippine mythical monsters (Tikbalangs, manananggals, aswang), in order to stop two warring universes from making the earth collateral damage in their quest for dominance. 

Book 2: Hatred is the Villain is about an unstoppable villain whose power feeds on hatred. A puppet master from another universe bent on building a machine that will lead to Earth’s destruction.

This exciting book series was written by Author Rommel Carrera, a former semi-professional musician, songwriter, singer, with a major label release in the 1990s. Since then, he has recorded primarily as a solo artist under the moniker “The BratCave”, and has won a songwriting award from the CCP.  He also has a degree in Chemical Engineering (cum laude) from the University of the Philippines, Diliman, and topped the Chemical Engineering board examinations. He was also an outstanding graduate of the Asian Institute of Management’s Basic Management Program. 

Today, we have the privilege to have this exclusive interview with Author Rommel Carrera to learn about this book series. 

1. Can you share with us something about the book that isn't in the blurb?

JUST TIIS Pilipinas is about superheroes with powers based on their troublesome traits, must overcome their internal turmoil and stop these villains.

This is the only book series with an embedded Original Music Soundtrack! The book features QR codes for links to soundtrack pieces, during key emotional moments in the book. This will give the reader the option for a more immersive experience.

2. What inspired the idea for your latest book?

I was inspired by producing a music album of "defective" superheroes 

Check the official soundtrack of JUST TIIS Pilipinas on Spotify

3. How long did it take you to write this book?

It took me two (2) months to finish Book 1: Heroes, Monsters and Puppet-Masters and three (3 months) to finish Book 2: Hatred is the Villain

4. What part of the book was most challenging to write and why?

Ensuring the harmony of the scenes and the accompanying original music was the most challenging part for me. 

5. What do you hope your readers take away from this book?

I hope that the readers become aware of the different social issues such as: 

• Race wars, and genocidal wars, across generations utilize the innocent as pawns and don’t care about the collateral damages.
• The use of religion and fear to control the behavior of people 
• Corruption by people in power, which includes both making money using their authority; and neglect of basic safety regulations which lead to people being victimized by disasters (eg, the alcohol plant explosion which killed Josh’s father)

We need to understand that monsters are not born but they are created by society (including the human monsters in the story) I also hope that the readers would learn to accept people from outside the traditional concepts of “normal”, including LGBTQ and people with “weird” behavior.

6. If you’re planning a sequel or write the next book, can you share a tiny bit about your plans for it?

A 3rd book is in progress - which includes total war, a malevolent AI and a Kaiju monster. 

7. Where can we buy your books?

You can order via Shopee via this link: https://s.shopee.ph/4pwkzcDMSH 

It is also available through the 8Letters website, selected Fully Booked branches, and Big Bad Wolf. You can also get a Kindle version via Amazon. 

8. Where can readers find out more about you and your books?

You can also follow me through our official Facebook Page, Just Tiis Pilipinas - https://www.facebook.com/justiispilipinas 

----------------

Thank you, Author Rommel for agreeing to this interview. We are happy to know more about your books and music. We look forward to seeing you at your book signing event at the Manila 
International Book Fair on Saturday, September 14. 

Discover the Teoxane Glowing Lift: Now Available Exclusively at Luminisce

Luminisce, the leader in skincare and wellness, proudly introduces the Teoxane Glowing Lift to its array of advanced aesthetic treatments. This revolutionary dermal filler, developed by the renowned Teoxane Laboratories, offers a non-surgical solution for facelift and contour enhancement, restoring youthful radiance and lifting facial contours with cutting-edge hyaluronic acid technology.

Multilayering Technique: Precision in Practice

At the heart of Luminisce’s approach is the multilayering technique, a breakthrough in HA filler application. Unlike traditional filler methods, which inject filler into a single skin layer, this advanced technique places small amounts of filler into multiple layers of the skin. This ensures more balanced and natural results.

“Our multilayering technique allows us to achieve a more precise and natural outcome for our patients. By placing the filler in different layers of the skin, we can better enhance facial dynamics and deliver long-lasting, radiant results,” said Dr. Kaycee Reyes, founder and medical director of Luminisce.

The Power of RHA Technology: Dynamic and Natural-Looking Aesthetics

Teoxane’s Glowing Lift is powered by revolutionary RHA Technology. Unlike traditional fillers, Teoxane’s formula is designed to naturally adapt to facial movements, such as smiling, talking, and eating. This dynamic flexibility allows the filler to resist deformations and pressures, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results. Imagine the possibilities for your journey towards radiant, youthful skin.

Facial Movement at the Heart of Innovation

Teoxane is the first dermal filler company to place facial movement at the core of its product design. Utilizing a unique manufacturing technique called Preserved Network Technology, Teoxane preserves the long chains of hyaluronic acid (HA) naturally found in the skin. This minimizes the need for excessive cross-linking, allowing the filler to adapt to facial movements while maintaining the natural properties of HA. This innovation ensures that the treatment mimics the natural behavior of the skin, creating smooth and subtle enhancements that align with your facial expressions.

A Non-Surgical Facelift for Radiant Results

The Teoxane Glowing Lift offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery. By restoring volume and enhancing contours, it rejuvenates the skin and delivers a youthful, radiant glow—all without the need for extensive downtime or recovery. With Teoxane's breakthrough technology and Luminisce’s advanced multilayering technique, small acts of self-care can lead to natural-looking, radiant results that transform your look and boost your confidence.

Teoxane Glowing Lift is now available at Luminisce. Discover the magic of dermal fillers and experience the future of aesthetic treatments.

Book a consultation with a Luminisce dermatologist today by calling 0285118500 or 0977-804-4601 to get your own bespoke customized treatment.

Celebrating Trentastic Years of Taters: A Journey of Flavor, Fun, and Innovation

As Taters Entertainment Snacks marks its 30th anniversary, the brand stands as a testament to resilience, innovation, and a deep understanding of what Filipinos love. From its modest beginnings, Taters has evolved into a beloved household name, catering to a wide array of snacking preferences and lifestyle needs.

This milestone is more than just a celebration of longevity; it’s a reflection of Taters' continuous pursuit of excellence and its ability to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the market.

A Legacy of Flavor and Fun

When Taters first entered the market 30 years ago, the snacking landscape in the Philippines was vastly different. Popcorn and chips were the core offerings, enjoyed mainly by moviegoers and mall shoppers. However, as the years passed, the brand began to recognize the shifting tastes and lifestyles of its customers, prompting Taters to expand its menu and reach.

Today, Taters is much more than just a popcorn and chips brand. The product line-up has grown to include a wide range of offerings that cater to different cravings and occasions. Whether it’s a savory hotdog, a mouth-watering sandwich, crispy chicken, or savory fish, Taters ensures that every customer finds something to enjoy. This evolution from a niche cinema snack provider to a versatile and widely accessible food brand is the key to Taters success story.

Evolving with the Times: Taters in the Post-Pandemic Era

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to businesses worldwide, and Taters was no exception. However, instead of merely weathering the storm, Taters used this period as an opportunity to innovate and diversify its reach. The brand embraced various formats to meet the unique needs of its customers, wherever they may be.Cinema-goers: Despite the challenges faced by the cinema industry during the pandemic, Taters remained a staple for movie lovers. With safety protocols in place, Taters continued to offer its classic snacks, ensuring that the magic of the movies was accompanied by the familiar crunch and flavor of their favorite treats.

Sports and leisure customers: As more people sought out entertainment in safe, controlled environments, Taters expanded its presence in game parks and sports centers. These venues became hotspots for those looking to combine physical activity with tasty snacks, and Taters was there to meet that demand.

Binge-watchers: With more people staying home and streaming content, Taters made its products available through community outlets and delivery services. Whether it’s a movie marathon or a TV show binge, Taters snacks became the perfect companion for at-home entertainment.

Amusement center patrons and mall shoppers: Taters continued to thrive in malls and amusement centers, adapting to new safety guidelines while still providing the fun, flavorful experience that customers expect.

Commuters: For those on the go, Taters offered quick, convenient, and satisfying options. Whether it’s a sandwich or a bag of chips, commuters could count on Taters to fuel their journeys.

Party-goers and celebrations: As events and gatherings began to make a comeback, Taters reasserted itself as a must-have at parties and celebrations. With a wide range of products, the brand ensured that hosts could cater to all their guests' tastes.

The Trentastic Game On

In celebration of its 30th year, Taters is proud to introduce the Trentastic Game On- Sport + Snack Tournament—a fitting tribute to the brand’s long-standing commitment to excellence. Drawing inspiration from the Olympics, Trentastic Game On is designed to highlight the best in competitive gaming, whether it’s baskeball, billiards, table tennis or more.

This tournament is more than just a competition; it’s about the spirit of perseverance, skill, and the relentless pursuit of being the best—values that Taters has upheld for three decades.

Trentastic Champs: Celebrating Individual Achievements

Alongside the Trentastic Game On - Sport + Snack Tournament, Taters is also spotlighting individual achievements with the Trentastic Champs promo. This exciting initiative allows participants to showcase their skills in specific games and be rewarded with delicious prizes.The Bow Blitz Champ: In this archery-themed challenge, players who score 30 points inside the yellow ring in a single game will receive a FREE Minor Superpop. This promo is all about precision and rewarding those who hit their mark.

The Turkey Striker Champ: For bowling enthusiasts, this challenge offers a FREE Classic Chunky Hotdog to any player who strikes a Turkey (three consecutive strikes). It’s a tasty way to celebrate consistency and skill.

Both challenges emphasize the spirit of competition and excellence, key themes that have driven Taters' success over the past 30 years.

A Commitment to Excellence: The Trentastic Bundles

Central to Taters' enduring success is its unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. This commitment is exemplified in the introduction of the Trentastic Bundles—a series of specially curated snack packages designed to complement a variety of leisure activities. These bundles offer customers discounted sport and snack combinations, perfect for bowling nights, karaoke sessions, darts games, or simply enjoying a day at the game park.

Through these value-packed bundles, Taters not only enhances the overall experience for its customers but also reinforces its reputation as a brand that consistently delivers excellence in both product and service.

A Partnership Born from Fun and Flavor

While Taters’ 30th anniversary is a celebration of its own achievements, it also marks the beginning of an exciting collaboration with SM Gamepark. This partnership brings together two brands that share a common goal: to create memorable, fun-filled experiences for their customers.
