Spend Labor Day Weekend laughing with Pokwang at Cache Creek Casino Resort.

The "Don Veridiano Open" held this month @ Poppy Ridge Golf Club w/participants (L-R): Nelson Galicia, Efren delos Angeles, Joe Albero, Ben Ramos, Charlie Santos, Don Veridiano, Mel Zagala, & Jerry Gutierrez.

POKWANG, SAM MILBY & PAULO AVELINO

@ CACHE CREEK CASINO

THIS WEEKEND!

TO-BE SEEN IN THE CITY

(BROOX, CA) – Expect the unexpected as Pokwang, last seen jampacking the Chabot College of Performing Arts in Hayward, CA just a few month ago with very satisfied audiences (and producers, too), returns to Northern CA with not one, but two (2) ultimate hunks in t

ow– Sam Milby and Paulo Avelino as they collectively entertain Labor Day Holiday goers at the Cache Creek Casino this Saturday and Sunday, August 31 and September 1, 2013, respectively. Both shows start at 8:00PM.

Pokwang proved unsavory talks that haunted her recent show(s) in the Middle East are untrue by being the ideal performer during her last gig here in the Bay Area. Even Show Promoter Lerma Cailles was surprised then, that nasty talks even worsen as the issue went viral in print, television and social media, as the promoter has always known Pokwang as very cooperative and never been a problem artist.

Acoustic Heartthrobs Sam Milby and Paulo Avelino both coming from successful ABS-CBN teleseryes – Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala and Kahit Konting Pagtingin, respectively, are going to be refreshing sights this weekend as they showcase their o

ther talent – singing!

This Columnist have always loved listening on repeat, to Sam Milby’s own version of ‘Only You’ and ‘Wherever You Will Go.’ Paulo Avelino meanwhile, popularized ‘Your Love’ – with lyrics that say ‘Your love is like the sun, That lights up my whole world, I feel the warmth inside, Your love is like the river, That flows down through my veins, I feel the chill inside’ which girl is not going to faint?

Take your pick – spend this Labor Day Holiday sharing comedic moments with Pokwang or feeling romantic with both Sam Milby and Paulo Avelino? You can do both!

A RIVER CHANGES COURSE is the moving and insightful 2013 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winning film that follows three young Cambodian women and their struggle to maintain their traditional ways of life amid rapid development and environmental degradation of the river they have lived and worked on for generations. Working in an intimate, verité style, filmmaker Kalyanee Mam spent two years in her native homeland: from the remote, mountainous jungles and floating cities of the Cambodian countryside to the bustling garment factories of modern Phnom Penh. The documentary traces a devastating and beautiful story of an ancient culture ravaged by globalization and the ever changing environment. This village and this film is but a small example of what is going on around the world in many third world countries. The film is a haunting tale of what's around the corner for our world and Kalyanee's directorial debut.

In addition, A RIVER CHANGES COURSE has garnered many Best Documentary Film awards since it's world premiere at 2013 Sundance including Full Frame, San Francisco International Film Festival, and the Atlanta Film Festival.
