This is based on the image header of this event page, which was tweeted last March 23 by @David Foster: “Join David Foster & Friends in the Napa Valley at Robert Mondavi Winery for an evening of music, wine and food. http://wbr.fm/eHB0bn”

The David and Friends Concert is part of the 6th Annual Festival del Sole. This summer festival is a celebration of music, wine, art and food in California’s famous Napa Valley. Rick Walker, a Grammy-award winning music producer, first started this in 2006. Previous concerts included performances from Chris Botti, Nikki Yanofsky, Robert Redford, and the Russian National Orchestra.

TFC Shines W/Historic Launch of New Global Affinity Campaign: “Tayo Ang TFC”

“TFC is The Filipino Community worldwide, bringing light to wherever it may be”

This Columnist was invited to the first ever international Videocon and telcon of TFC’s new global affinity campaign last week – “Tayo Ang TFC.” Tayo Ang TFC (We Are TFC) was kicked off last Sunday, April 3, 2011 via a new station identity (SID) on the show ASAP Rocks on ABS-CBN in the Philippines and on TFC in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Japan and Australia. Lending his voice to the new SID’s theme song, Tayo Ang TFC, is world-renowned singer Jed Madela, 2005 Senior Grand Champion Performer of the World at the prestigious World Championship of the Performing Arts (WCOPA) in Burbank, California.

The campaign highlights the common ground that TFC shares with Filipinos who migrated to other countries. It mirrors their life stories and experiences from the homeland to their struggles and achievements in their adopted land. It shows how TFC has become part and parcel of the Filipinos’ lives overseas – bringing joy, pride, a sense of home and family.

According to TFC’s Global Customer Engagement Head John-D J. Lazatin, “As we launch our new station identity, we look at ourselves from the eyes of our customers. To them, we are not just a channel and a provider of various services. Through the years, TFC has been a Kapamilya (family member) that helps lead brighter, happier lives wherever Filipinos choose to build their dreams. TFC is a beacon of light that will always journey with the Filipino as he brings out his own light into the world for himself, his family and his community.”

“Tayo Ang TFC emphasizes that no matter where we are, our common Filipino identity and experience connect us all together as one global community. That is what we are celebrating in this campaign,” said ABS-CBN Global COO Raffy Lopez. “TFC is The Filipino Community worldwide, people who bring the light of hope, joy and triumph wherever they may be.”

TFC has been recognized by the PromaxBDA World Awards for its outstanding SIDs: Silver Award for Isang Dugo, Isang Lahi, Isang Musika (One Blood, One Race, One Music) in 2005 and another Silver Award for Lipad ng Pangarap (Flight of A Dream) in 2006. The PromaxBDA Awards is the only competition organized by the international association of entertainment professionals to recognize excellence in Marketing, Design and Creative Content and serve as the industry standard for excellence.

Following the global launch of the Tayo Ang TFC SID last Sunday, the campaign will go multimedia, with expansive visibility on-air, online, on-print and on ground.

Obama will run again. I got a very personalized email today in my Inbox from President Obama’s campaign team, signifying his interest to run again in the coming November elections. He is using the same strategy, technology and logistics to raise funds and ensure his victory. The question is – will it work this time? I voted for him last time, but this November, I’d vote for anybody decent running against him, considering the promises unfulfilled, the status reports of his achievements & the current economic state of the nation.
