EVOLUTION 

FAB4 PRODUCTIONS, THE COMPANY THAT PUBLISHED THE 1 ST FREE 

ONLINE AND PRINTED NEWS MAGAZINE IN THE PHILIPPINES, VILLAGE 

PIPOL, WAS ESTABLISHED ON OCTOBER 2007. #CHEERS! 

There’s something about the 1st of September that makes us excited and happy. It is the official start of 

the “Ber” months or the start of the longest Christmas season in the world. You heard that right! 

In a country where hospitality is one of our most famous export, you will never run out of reasons to love 

the Christmas season. Malls and other establishments are now adorned with Christmas décor while 

our favorite yuletide tunes are playing in the background. I’m guilty as like all my kababayan as I have 

already erected my 5 year old Christmas Tree in the house! Filipinos cannot help but be merry this early. 

Village Pipol is not only merry but (3) Three times merry because of our Cover Girl Favorite Devon Seron 

and K-Pop Stars Hyun Woo and Jin Ju-Hyung. So forgive my K-Pop inspired profile picture, I’m just 

merry and excited as everyone else in welcoming Devon and the K-Pop Gang! Devon Seron has gone a 

long way from a probinsyana teenager who joined ABS CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother to what could possibly 

be her breakout movie, You With Me as the first Korean-Filipino film collaboration ever! 

What to Love about Village Pipol at “BER” Months”

10 Reasons to Visit 

Siargao Island 

Siargao boasts a unique mix of excellent waves ideal for surfing, relaxing vibes, 

and beautiful beaches! As a small island, you can easily explore the whole island 

in a day! Photos & Text by #Villager Deegee Razon of DeeGeeRazon.com 

iargao is a one small island among the 7000+ 

islands that make up the Philippines but although it 

Sis just small, it is best known for its’ amazing waves 

that surfers love that’s why it rightly claims the title as the 

Philippines’ surfing capital. 

During my stay there, I really loved the “home-y” feel of 

Siargao. The most common form of transportation here is 

the habal-habal (motorcycle) or sometimes tricycles. It’s 

ideal to rent a motorbike when you’re exploring Siargao 

because it’s cheaper and you’re also free to stop at any 

place and go to another place any time you like. Another 

thing that I like about this place is there are no taxis, 

jeepneys or buses and because of this, the island doesn’t 

feel crowded. 

If you’re a surfer, it’s ideal to go to Siargao during 

September since the waves are really nice during that 

time of the year. For non-surfers like me, it’s okay to go 

there during summer season but it’s important to take 

note that if you ever want to give surfing a try, the waves 

aren’t that good during the summer! 

1. EVERYTHING IS SCENIC 

As a Photographer, I always seek places that are beautiful 

in their own unique way. Siargao definitely is beautiful and 

charming in its’ own way. I definitely had a blast taking 

photos of Siargao’s infinitely many treasures! 

2. PALM TREES FOR DAYS! 

Everywhere we go in Siargao, there’s always tall palm 

trees. Even on highways, you’ll see different views of palm 

trees. You probably know how much I love palm trees 

hahaha so imagine how happy I was during my time in 

Siargao! 

3. LOCAL FOOD IS BETTER 

In Siargao, I’ve tasted so many good dishes! Words don’t 

do justice on how good the food in Siargao is. The seafood 

is absolutely the best! It’s so delicious, I’ll promise you will 

dream about it after you left the island. Up until now, I’m 

still craving for the food that I tried in Siargao! 

4. RESORTS 

One of the best things Siargao offers is the different 

resorts/villas that you can stay in. The resorts are usually 

boutique resorts so expect majority of the resorts in 

Siargao to be beautiful and artistic. 

5. FRIENDLY LOCALS 

The people of Siargao really are polite and friendly! 

They’re really nice and hospitable to everyone. If you’re 

planning to go to Siargao, I recommend getting to know 

the locals so they could also share information and their 

experiences about the island. 

6. LOTS OF #OOTD-FRIENDLY SPOTS! 

Everywhere you go, there’s always a perfect Instagramworthy 

place on this island. To capture all this scenic views 

with your #OOTD, it’s ideal to use your phone/wide lens 

camera. 

7. UNIQUE SPOTS 

There’s always something unique and yet to be explored 

in Siargao. One of the best places that you can go is the 

Sugba and Sohoton Lagoon and Siargao’s 3 different 

Islands namely Dayum, Dako and Naked. 

8. GOLDEN HOUR 

Siargao is a beautiful place and it’s no exaggeration to call 

it a paradise. If you’re still thinking whether it’s worth it to 

book that flight to Siargao, I’m gonna give you a friendly 

advice and say that yes, it’s worth it! Seeing the sunset in 

this island is a very different and breathtaking experience 

because of the pink cotton skies and a really amazing view 

of the sun setting in the horizon. A definite must see when 

you’re in Siargao! 

9. SURFING CAPITAL 

For those who want to surf or simply enjoy a beautiful 

island in this part of the world, I highly recommend adding 

this island to your Philippine itinerary. Luckily, there’s a 

couple of packages that resorts offer for surfers and nonsurfers 

alike. 

10. TRAVEL BUDDIES! 

I really recommend that you go to Siargao with your 

friends or family. If you ever dream of a paradise island 

with that peaceful ambience, Siargao is a must visit! You 

and your company will definitely enjoy the beauty and 

charm of Siargao. (Tagging my awesome travel buddies: 

Kerwin King, Dani Barreto, Bela Padilla, Xavi Panlilio & 

Josh Vahn Lee!) 

Everyone I know who has visited Siargao seems to have 

fallen in love with the place and I can definitely see why! 

Experiencing Siargao for yourself is really a must. No 

matter how many days you’ve planned to stay in Siargao, 

it won’t be enough. You’ll definitely fall in love with the 

people, the beaches and the food. Put simply, the island 

has a great vibe. Let’s hope that it stays this way for many 

years to come!

OUR EL NIDO GREEK ADVENTURE: 

Cafe Athena 

Greek-Mediterranean cuisine is slowly gaining popularity and we can substantiate the reason 

why; Most of Greek dishes are grilled rather than fried and in most cases they use olive oil and 

yoghurt as dressing which equates to healthy living compared to other fat-laden sauces. 

Text & Photos by #Villagers Michelle & Ralph Huertas 

Ralph and I recently travelled to El Nido, Palawan and discovered 

a diverse selection of worldwide cuisine abound the island. One of 

which stands-out in the heart of El Nido town proper where most 

tourist merge and celebrate the island life. 

Daytime at Cafe Athena 

After several nights of binging on local cuisine of mostly seafood, 

we decided to try a different fare that can balance out the booze 

and pigging out we had the previous days. 

Café Athena is located in Serena Street, Buena Suerte, El Nido. A 

year after it opened its doors, the establishment is fast becoming 

a favorite hangout of tourists and locals alike. Most of its dining 

patrons comprise of those who want to partake their delicious yet 

healthy Greek cuisine. 

Upon being seated we were advised that a bottle of beer comes in 

free with our main dishes! Our eyes widened with delight as we 

proceeded to order some of their best-sellers. 

Café Athena also serves other lovely dishes such as their bestseller 

Pasta Puttanesca that is rich in flavorful tomato-caper 

sauce with a generous serving of black and green olives. 

Chicken Souvlaki 

Horiatiki Salata 

Lamb Gyro 

Puttanesca 

Those who want to start off with salad may opt to try their 

Horiatiki Salata which is a classic Greek salad that consists of 

Tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, onion and olives and topped with 

Feta cheese. 

with Cafe Athena’s Managing Partner Flaridel Dizon 

~ Mich ~ 

I ordered their Chicken Souvlaki 

which resembles a kebab. I 

particularly love the tender 

and juicy meat that burst with 

authentic Mediterranean flavor. 

An order comes with either rice or 

pita bread, or you may opt for half 

and half just like we did. 

~ Ralph ~ 

I went for Lamb Gyro which is 

somewhat similar to shawarma. 

MIch normally stays away from 

lamb dishes but gave in to my 

prodding and she noticed that the 

lamb meat they used does not bear 

too much of the distinctive smell 

that she hates, which is a plus 

point. 

Aside from their signature Greek-Med Menu that draws the crowd, 

the café also benefit from a great backdrop of the El Nido scenery 

during the day and the lovely sound of the ocean at night. 

We tasted each other’s dishes to compare notes as to who ordered 

the best tasting dish at Café Athena and had to come to a draw, 

hence we asked for the help of Café Athena Managing Partner 

Flaridel Dizon but neither could he decide, he explains that he 

loves every dish in the menu. 

Flaridel is very hands-on with the restaurant operations and treat 

each customer like a VIP, this might be the reason why the diners 

keep coming back for more. When in El Nido, Palawan, do drop by 

Café Athena and you would not regret doing so.

The Dangers of Side Effects 

Presented As Main Effects 

In the medical world, proper use of words is highly called for because a simple mistake 

could complicate things usually unwanted for the patients. Because this field has full of 

jargons that mostly are too technical to not easily be sifted and digested by the general 

public, putting them in a layman’s term is indeed helpful. A good example of which are 

the words “side effect” and “main effect”. These, are more often than not, interchanged 

or used instead of the other. Doing so is not just wrong but also dangerous to the 

people’s health. 

A side effect of any substance pertains to the result beyond the main or primary 

action that is intended by the physician giving drug prescription. The doctor, likewise, 

foresees this extra consequence. 

For instance, the patient might not be conscious of the side effect of unwanted hair 

growth elsewhere on the body while using vasodilator drug called Minoxidil to treat 

hypertension. The physician, nevertheless, is very well aware about it, as well as other 

implications, such as burning or irritation of the eye, itching, and redness or irritation 

at the treated area. By and large, doctors suggest that patients should ignore the side 

effects unless serious and often alert the sick persons about their likelihood. 

An adverse effect, on the other hand, is identified as an outcome wherein the reaction 

occurs over and beyond the main and wanted action of a medicine. Both the physician 

and the patient don’t know about it as a consequence of taking such treatment. It 

can happen simply due to incorrect dosage. Undesirably, this is very harmful as it 

can exacerbate the prognosis of the disease. Occasionally, if the adverse effect is too 

serious, there might be a need for hospitalization. 

Since side effects paired with adverse effects can be fatal and need to be reversed or 

given antidote immediately, a very extra cautious effort not to interchange them with 

the main effects in the prescription process must be always observed. After all, it’s the 

lives of patients at stake here. 

It’s ironic to note that people who seek treatments for their ailments or to prolong their 

lives become sicker or morbidly end up six feet underground simply because of such

medical error. So, it’s still best to deal with health conditions like hair loss the natural 

way, especially with NOVUHAIR that offers the safe and natural effects. 

With 19 natural ingredients—mostly standardized herbal extracts, essential oils and

The secret to their gorgeous skin; however, is not complicated. While famous 

for their austere skincare regimens, there are simpler ways to achieve that 

coveted Korean fairness. 

Miyu, (meaning beauty within you) is a brand-new Korean-formulated skincare 

from Amway Philippines that has the natural ingredient called Buckwheat. 

“Buckwheat extract has been proven to brighten skin and make complexion 

look fairer while nourishing it to its deepest layer. It’s a natural way to achieve 

a more glowing skin,” states Dr. Hae Jo, Miyu’s Research and Development 

manager. Dr. Hae has likewise lead the development of several of Amway’s 

trusted skin products such as the Hydra V Mist Device, Skin Analyzer, and the 

Artistry Line of Products. 

One set retails at Php 1,947. Miyu is exclusively distributed by Amway 

Philippines and its debut strongly makes the lineup of Amway’s signature 

products younger and more appealing to the millennial market—another 

milestone to a bigger, refreshed Amway.

The Leading Lady! 

Successful people in every industry are often said to be "blessed with 

talent" or even just lucky. But the truth is, many worked harder than the 

average person can even imagine! Text by Jean Dalida 

Hey! It’s not a luck, but a blessing! 

For many actresses who start out in supporting roles, a lead is often hard to come by if not 

at all. Patience turned out to be a virtue for young actresses, who dutifully played the best 

friend or sister for a long time (#BFFSyndrome)until they finally landed leading lady status. 

Just like with our very own, Devon Seron! 

Devon, is a young Filipina actress and now a television celebrity who was once a 

housemate in ABS-CBN’s biggest television reality show where she placed 4th, “Pinoy Big 

Brother: Teen Clash” in 2010. Her journey to stardom after stepping out the famous big 

blue house was never easy. Although she has the looks, the charm, and the talent, Devon’s 

career hasn’t skyrocketed just yet. Little do we know that she’s apparently destined for a 

bigger project. 

Devon admitted that there were many times that she wanted to quit showbiz. She felt the 

urge of doing something else and switch to another field. But she resisted quitting and 

no matter how hard the competition in the industry she kept pursuing it not only for her 

dreams but because of her family. 

Devon Seron as Kim Soriano 

And that’s one thing we love about her: She’s humble, well-rounded young fine 

lady. From teens to her twenties has nothing changed. She’s still the same 

“Bubbly Promdi ng Cebu” we all knew. Fast-forward to today, we have a feeling 

that Devon Seron‘s career is about to reach its peak anytime soon, especially 

now that she bagged the lead role of the movie “You with Me” alongside two 

Korean actors Hyun Woo and Jin Ju-Hyung (Oppa’s). Devon plays Kim Soriano, 

a well-off Filipina who immigrates to Korea to escape her parents’ iron fists. She 

then works as an English teacher and finds her love interest in Hyun Woo’s 

character Jason. On the other hand, Ju-Hyung portrays Jason’s 

assistant, Rintaro, Jason’s rival in scoring Kim’s 

heart.

A lot might raise their brows, but hey she deserves it more 

than anyone else. She worked hard for it. It’s not a luck, but a 

blessing. She had her fair share of challenges and obstacles. 

And if her story is any indication, hard work and patience do 

prevail in the end. She is now reaping the fruits of all her labor. 

Devon is an actress, artist, a dreamer who persevered, created and 

now, inspire us all to think outside the box, and believe in ourselves 

enough to push beyond our boundaries. Success is not a fruit of luck, 

but a blessing from above. Old fashioned hard work. Anyone can do it. 

Let Devon be an inspiration to you!

A Complete Guide 

to Fall 2017’s Top 

Fashion Trends! 

Everything you’ll be wearing in six months! 

Text by Jean Dalida of SkinniestJean.com 

Resort season—the clothing delivery that has 

transformed from just what you wear on vacation to 

the most wearable offering of all—is currently taking 

place and already hinting at a new twist with the 

classic prints floral,stripes and plaids. There will be 

unleashing of the ancient Goddess in you and more.. 

Whether you’re a laidback, go-with-the-flow type of 

dresser, we’ve compiled the ultimate hit-list of Resort’s 

ready clothing of what you’ll see everyone will be 

wearing in six month’s time, here! 

Goddesses were everywhere during 

Resort, especially in Karl Lagerfeld’s 

ethereal collection for Chanel. Diaphanous 

gowns were paired with modern, vibrantly 

colored gladiator sandals for a new kind of 

pretty power woman look! 

These aren’t your run-of-the-mill checks 

and tartans. Plaids are getting a heavy 

dose of cool with variations on shapes and 

shades that are a far cry from the Scottish 

Highlands! 

Forget athleisure. This season, designers 

gave sporty clothes a glamorous spin. The 

look was particularly punchy at Valentino, 

where Pierpaolo Piccioli showed The Get 

Down-inspired track suits, dresses, and 

strappy sandals with athletic ankle socks. 

Game on! 

Designers like Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas 

Ghesquière and Joseph Altuzarra smartly 

updated that Resort season favorite, 

stripes, using dynamic colors and unusual 

placements worthy of a double take! 

Resort is all about the idea of travel, and 

what better way to pack for a warmweather 

holiday than to stuff a suitcase full 

of striking white? Designers took this into 

consideration and played with the idea of 

donning a bleached-out look way, way after 

Labor Day!

SandreaLee Salon: 

The Newest Go-to of 

the Stars! 

Words from Lee, Founder & CEO of SandreaLee Salon 

Almost two years ago, the journey of SandreaLee began 

with a single small salon, in the building that was once the 

share house of my aunts when she was at university. At 

the time, my partner Sandrea and I had no consideration or 

aspiration for anything beyond this one salon. With many 

of our clients being our close friends within the LGBT, our 

once humble salon quickly became a place full of selfexpression, 

laughter and spirit - a place that we all felt safe 

to be ourselves. Never forgetting our roots and keeping a 

close relationship with our clients, we have since grown 

organically, opening branches more or less where we’ve 

been asked to. Like any new business, we have had many 

challenges in our first 2 years, but the loyalty from our 

SandreaLee family has made us strong… and in the times it 

hasn’t made us strong, its at least made us laugh. 

We have built a good reputation for our services, 

particularly our fashion color. Almost all Filipinos have the 

same hair color, so this is something we use to differentiate 

and express ourselves. Some of our clients keep their 

natural color and come to us for cuts and treatments, others 

opt for subtle tone changes, while some walk out looking 

like beautiful wild flowers. 

We now have eight salons and are offering franchises to the 

pubic, so we are preparing our business for this transition. 

We are excited about this move, though we will need to be 

careful to ensure that our values, and everything that has 

made us successful so far is not diluted as we expand. 

Our strategy for growth is only one part about expanding 

operations, and the rest is about internal growth; focusing 

on our supply chain, our training academy and introducing 

public events - to make sure we keep having fun.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Look What 

You Made Me Do’ Leaps to 

No. 1 on Hot 100! 

Swift scores her fifth Hot 100 No. 1 and breaks the weekly streaming record 

for a song by a woman. “Look” also stops the record-tying 16-week reign of 

“Despacito.” 

Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” blasts from No. 77 (where it 

debuted) to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Sept. 16), following its 

first full week of data tracking. After its Aug. 25 release, the song soars to the 

top with the highest weekly streaming and sales sums for a track in 2017 and 

breaks the record for the most weekly streams ever for a song by a woman. 

“Look” -- released on Big Machine/Republic Records and the first single 

from Swift’s album Reputation (her first since 1989 in 2014), due Nov. 10 

-- is her fifth Hot 100 No. 1. It also dethrones Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s 

“Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, which a week ago tied the record for the 

most weeks spent at No. 1 (16) in the Hot 100’s 59-year history. 

Let’s run down the numerous achievements for “Look” as it crowns the Hot 

100, which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. Highlights of 

the rest of the top 10 will post on Billboard.com later today (Sept. 5), and all 

charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 6). 

Record-breaking streams: Following its first week of streaming, “Look” blasts 

onto the Streaming Songs chart at No. 1 with 84.4 million U.S. streams in the 

week ending Aug. 31, according to Nielsen Music. The total is not only the 

highest for any song this year, passing the 69.6 million with which “Despacito” 

peaked on the June 17-dated chart, but the highest ever in a week for a song 

by a female artist, surpassing the debut week of Adele’s “Hello” (61.6 million, 

Nov. 14, 2015). 

Only one song has posted a greater weekly total than “Look” on Streaming 

Songs (which began on March 2, 2013): Baauer’s “Harlem Shake,” which 

peaked with 103 million, powered heavily by user-generated clips featuring 

the song’s audio (the week that the survey debuted). 

Swift adds her third Streaming Songs No. 1, following “Shake It Off” and “Blank 

Space.” She ties Miley Cyrus for the most by a woman; among all acts, only 

Bieber has earned more No. 1s (four).

RAFAEL NADAL – Tennis World 

Never saw this coming! 

In 2008, he won two Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal, and finished 

the year ranked No. 1 in the world for the first time in his career. 

He won the French Open without dropping a set and beat Roger Federerat Wimbledon in a 

nearly five-hour marathon considered by many to be the greatest match in tennis history. 

Two years later, after retiring in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open with a knee 

injury, Nadal won three consecutive Slams and more than $10 million in prize money. 

On paper, the first nine months of 2017 might not stack up against either of those seasons. 

This was not an Olympic year, and despite winning two Slams and making the final in 

three, Nadal, 31, started his year with the bitter taste of an opportunity lost in Melbourne. 

But 16 years into his professional career, 2017 might be his most meaningful yet. 

On Sunday, Nadal beat 28th-seeded Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 to capture his 16th 

career Grand Slam title. 

“Of course, is a very special year, no?” Nadal said afterward. “[I went] a couple of years 

without winning Slams, couple of years with problems. After couple of years without 

competing at this very high, high level, very happy to be back -- and emotional year for 

me. 

“And as I said before, thanks to all the people that help me every day. I have a great team 

and a great family that supports me and believe in me, and that’s a great help. Without 

them, of course is not impossible, but almost.” 

The significance of this season is impossible to sum up with a stat sheet alone. Coming 

off a 2016 season in which he suffered his second wrist injury in three seasons and was 

forced to withdraw from the French Open after the second round, Nadal’s 10th win at 

Roland Garros in June was especially sweet. It was his first Grand Slam title since the 

2014 French. 

After struggling through knee pain that has followed him throughout his career, and losing 

in the fourth round at Wimbledon, Nadal made the quarterfinals at Cincinnati two weeks 

before his brilliant US Open run and regained the No. 1 ranking for the first time in more 

than three years. And let’s not forget the rekindling of an all-time great rivalry with Roger 

Federer, who won the two Slams that Nadal did not. 

But what has made this season even more meaningful is that while Nadal promises to 

play as long as his body will allow, the most important man in his camp announced earlier 

this season that this will be his last. 

“Probably without him I would never be playing tennis, and it’s great I had somebody like 

him pushing me all the time,” Nadal said. “I think because he was strong and had great 

motivation to practice with me since I was a kid, I have been able to get through all these 

problems I’ve had in my career in terms of injuries. That makes me stronger, and I just can 

say thank you very much to him, because, for sure, he’s one of the most important people 

in my life.”
