Avel Bacudio was awarded 2014 Most Influential Designer in Asia during Mercedes-Benz Fashion week held in Malaysia by no less than noted Designer Jimmy Choo.

AVEL BACUDIO TO ROCK SILICON VALLEY

TO-BE SEEN IN THE CITY

(SANTA CLARA, CA) – In a period spanning less than a month, Mercedez-Benz’s Most Influential Designer 2014 Avel Bacudio already flew in twice from Manila where he is based to the Silicon Valley in preparation for the September 12^thfashion event of the year – “F MODE FASHION SHOW/EXPO.” The first time was just two weeks ago to show his production crew the first batch of his fresh creations and the second time was to do an ocular inspection of the venue. Ever meticulous in his shows, Avel wants a cross-shaped runway this time with lights emanating from both the floor and the ceiling as images and videos are projected on two giant screens.

In addition, a go-see (model casting call) was held last Saturday at Fort McKinley’s iBar in South San Francisco, as the show is looking to flood the runway with 30 female, 30 male and 11 kid models. Among those spotted during the casting were some of the Bay Area’s prettiest and handsomest – 2013 Binibining Pilipinas-Tourism Katrina Jayne Dimaranan, Binibining TFC Alexandra Drechsler, Kaila Williams, Justin Alegre, Jorden Dougherty, Ethan Alexander Alegre, Gary Subijano, Ken Taylor, Jara Popova, brothers Beau and Cutty Donovan, among others.

A native of Buhi, Camarines Sur, Avel Bacudio, left for Manila to try his luck in the world of fashion. His sister sensed the promise in him that she enrolled Avel at the La Salle School of Fashion. It was a sinewy route to success, but armored with sheer determination and the can-do attitude brought this young artist to the circle of top designers.

Bacudio won top prizes in various national tilts, and after mastering the craft and technique of seamless architectural approach in designing and tailoring, he went to submit his works in various international design competitions where he was pitting with style icons Inno Sotto and New York-based Filipino designer Josie Cruz Natori. Avel did not win the top prize, but his designs carved his niche in the fashion industry. He continued to create waves in Paris and other European countries.

Bacudio participated in the local round of the Concours International des Jeunes Créateurs de Mode, a global competition for young designers in 2002 and he was named as People’s Choice awardee and was among the top five designers sent to Paris, his dream destination. The next year he was again chosen as one of the ten best in the “Timeless Terno” contest of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila. More than winning, “I’m glad I joined that one because of the lectures and seminars on making the terno.”

In 2012, he was awarded as “2012 Breakthrough Designer of the Year” and after two years, he was recognized as Mercedes-Benz Stylo Fashion Week “Asia’s Most Influential Designer 2014.“ This award meant a lot to Bacudio because it was handed by renowned shoe designer Jimmy Choo, who would eventually collaborate with him in a number of projects in New York.

Produced by MSQ Productions, “F MODE FASHION SHOW/EXPO” is slated to be presented on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. VIP Red Carpet event starts at 6:00PM.

This show is geared to partly benefit a charitable foundation. Tickets start @ $50.00

MEDIA RELEASE

Police arrest three suspected violators of Philippine cybercrime and anti-piracy laws

Alleged cyber pirates uploading ABS-CBN shows illegally nabbed in raids in Davao, Roxas City and Naga City;

Internet Fraud Watchdog head warns that patrons of pirate websites stand to lose a lot

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Police raided Davao Tuesday night where a resident was offering free online viewing of ABS-CBN shows. A laptop seized from its resident Mark Marlon Millendez showed an ABS-CBN program was uploaded on Melendez's website just minutes before the raid.

"'Di ko masayadong alam kung saan banda na pirate, in what term na piracy (I don't understand which part of the piracy law I violated)," Millendez said.

The website administrator of asia.pinoymovie2k.tv denied being involved in piracy and even questioned his arrest.

Days before the raid in Davao, authorities also arrested Jim Marcelino of Roxas City for recording and offering free online viewing of ABS-CBN shows on pnoytv-online.com.

From Naga City, Nico Angelo Rempillo was apprehended for uploading ABS-CBN shows on his website, ireplaymo.com.

The three are charged with violating the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines which prohibits reproduction of copyrighted material such as TV programs or movies even for free viewing. ABS-CBN has filed three civil lawsuits in the U.S. federal district court against each of the defendants.

"Although free ang viewing pero kumikita kasi siya sa mga visits kasi yung website nakakabit sa ads ng Google (Although viewing is free, the site's owner still earns from online ads)" said Chief Inspector Jay Guillermo, Public Information Officer, Anti-Cyber Crime Group, PNP.

Police say owners of these sites earn from online advertising. Anti-piracy advocates say there is a more sinister reason the public should be wary of free sites. Ken Gamble, executive Chairman of Internet Fraud Watchdog, said internet users can get malware from these sites and unknowingly allow others to access private or personal information.

"Downloading free movies can expose yourself to downloading malware and if you download malware you can effectively give somebody control of your computer," Gamble said.

ABS-CBN is also asking the public to report via email report@abs-cbn.com any sites they encounter offering free viewing of its shows. (Stanley Palisada/ABS-CBN News)
