Every successful story starts with a humble beginning. Ateneo de Iloilo formerly known as Sta Maria Catholic School started out with just 10 students and now after years of high standard education, they are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a bang! Headed by Fr. Manny Uy, the school picked some of the most talented students, teachers and alumni and formed a group of artists for a one of a kind play; “Journey to Forever”. But this was no ordinary musicale, this 3 day event play directed by Mr. Kevin Pison Piamonte actually had videos for their backdrop and fill-ins. And you guessed it right! Mayad Studios is responsible for these videos. For a taste of one of the videos made for Ateneo de Iloilo, here’s the Opening Credits of the said play. Hope you guys enjoy!

During weddings they say you have to look your best; guests and even suppliers like us needs to dress up accordingly and with style. But with Mak and Loren’s wedding it was more than that. Having “Glamour Wedding” as their theme, they wanted everyone to look fabulous..red carpet fabulous to be exact. So all dressed up we went to shoot Mak and Loren’s wedding in Tagaytay. The location was simply gorgeous and breathtaking. Everything just went on smoothly. Big part is given credits to the couple, Mak and Loren. This very lovely couple sewed in together all the bits and pieces and made something spectacular that is truly worth remembering. So for their SDE introduction, allow me to do it the old fashion way. (Drum rolls please) Ladies and Gentlemen..Presenting live from Casablanca Tagaytay..Mak and Loren’s SDE. (applause)

“Ang pagmamahalang nagsimula sa pag-ibig” those were the words given to me by Jeff when he told me their heartstory. Confused? Well, Tatta had her summer job back then in Pag-ibig where Jeff also had his ojt at the same time. There in Pag-ibig, they met and their love blossomed..then the rest was history. Probably very much inspired by some old romantic flicks, our two love birds came up with an idea of what to do for their prenup shoot. Remember against all odds stories like poor farmer boy who falls in love with a rich and beautiful girl trying to fight for their love, that was our exact scenario. Although for our couple, we changed it a bit..we made Jeff as a fisherman instead since we weren’t able to find a farm. And we have to give it to Jeff and Tatta for acting really well..no directions needed. Truly Award Winning! So now with so much bundle of joy, we are proud to present to you Tatta and Jeff’s “mala telenovela” SDE. And oh by the way we strongly encourage you to sit back and relax while watching the SDE from start to finish. Enjoy!
