East Lodge Restobar: 

This Cozy Hangout Place in Antipolo is 

Every Broke Millennial's Dream 

Less than P300-budget for a night out? YES PLEASE. 

A relatively new restobar in Antipolo opened its doors to 

the public over a year ago and their food and booze is crazy 

affordable. 

East Lodge Restobar is the new hangout place in the heart of 

Antipolo. Located just within the city, it's the perfect spot to 

chill with your fam or spend time with your barkada. They serve 

your favorite Filipino and American fooze (food + booze) at an 

affordable price. 

How affordable, you say? Their special sisig is priced at P165, 

nachos are P155 and their Pulutan Platter - a bunch of different 

pulutan - is just P425. Cocktails are P210 per pitcher (1.8L) and 

beer buckets are priced at P280. 

But it’s not just their affodable food; the whole place is an 

instagrammer’s haven, too! Walls are the perfect background to 

your OOTD shots and the awesome lighting gives your selfies the 

best effect - no filter needed! 

Last May 5, East Lodge celebrated its first ever anniversary. 

Customers enjoyed the extremely sulit promos offered that night 

-- free Sizzling Sisig were given to every group who orders a 

bucket of beer, cocktail pitchers are Buy 1 Get 1 and shots of our 

very own cocktails were only P5 each! People enjoyed the food, 

drinks and music and stayed until East Lodge’s closing time at 

2am. Overall, it was a successfull and “chill” Cinco de Mayo - just 

the way we wanted it to be. 

Looking for an event venue? East Lodge also hosts various 

gatherings and parties. At a minimal amount, you can rent the

Experience Intense Diamond Peel with 

YSA Skin & Body Experts 

Written by Jim Reynold Zamora 

In this day and age, both men and women give serious note and 

gravity to skin care, cutting from the same cloth of priority and 

weight. There are lots of new technologies concurrently drifting 

into the industry of beauty and wellness. These impressive 

procedures offer wider range of solutions to everyone through 

aesthetic medicines. 

Beautiful skin is attractive and striking. 

As one of the pioneers in the beauty and wellness industry, 

YSA Skin and Body Experts focuses on their lane in providing 

quality and excellent services. Derived from the expertise and 

experiences of their professionals, it consistently caters the 

needs and wants of the market, clasping with their vision to be 

leader of the play game. 

YSA Skin and Body Experts’ Sheralen F. Rivera R.N., the Clinic 

Supervisor of the Robinson’s Metro East branch, explains the 

diamond peel procedure, its restrictions and benefits. 

“Diamond peel is more on micro-peeling. It rejuvenates your skin, 

lighten your skin, removes dark spots. It is more on anti-aging,” 

she started. 

“Diamond peel is painless. It is more on vacuuming lang ng dead 

skin. Tinatanggal lang ‘yung dead skin. It helps to rejuvenate the 

skin,” she clarified. 

In the Philippines, Diamond Peel instantly became one of the 

most popular procedures for those who want to rejuvenate their 

skin. Thus, YSA proudly provides their own version of the said 

procedure, climbing up the ladder with its intense rejuvenating 

procedure. 


However, despite the promising results, there are some 

restrictions for those who want to try the procedure. 

“Kapag may break outs po, hindi po talaga namin ina-allow kasi 

possible na ma-irritate. We suggest different kind of treatment 

like Bella Mask para mag-dry ‘yung pimples para maiwasan 

na ma-irritate kasi vacuum yung diamond peel so the more na 

nadadaanan yung pimple, the more na nai-irritate. 

“Ginagawa namin is facial muna, then iche-check namin kung 

maraming na-prick. Kung marami, we suggest ‘yung LED light 

‘yung gamitin natin. Kung less lang naman or more on acne scars 

lang, mas maganda na yung diamond peel para mag-lighten 

‘yung mga scars,” she explained. 

“After undergoing diamond peel, ang bawal lang gawin is ‘yung 

mag-wash ng face for the day of procedure. Possible na pag 

nagpa-facial ka, may mga open wounds. At the same time, 

bagong peel. Mas maganda na di muna sya basahin, at least for 

24 hours. Ang restrictions lang, mild soap lang ang gagamitin for 

three days. Kung nagda-dry talaga yung skin, pwede mag-apply 

ng moisturizer,” she added. 

Furthermore, with the various skin care clinics offering the same 

service, YSA always make sure that they give more than the 

current market has. Exceeding their customers’ satisfaction is 

their longstanding mission through the years. 

“We offer kasi ‘yung tinatawag na Intense Diamond Peel. So hindi 

ito ‘yung parang dinikitan lang ng vacuum para mag-lighten lang. 

Sa YSA kasi, makikita mo talaga yung natanggal na dead skin 

after the session. On the same day, talagang makikita mo yung 

natanggal sa skin mo. Intense, so ibig sabihin visible agad ‘yung 

effect in your first session,” she stated. 

With the consistent passion to make people beautiful, happy 

and confident inside and out, YSA Skin and Body Experts thrives 

to continue and provide quality, proven effective treatments to 

beautify lives all throughout the country. 

YSA is more than the country’s beauty expert. With over 20 

years of dermatological and surgical cosmetics, it created a firm 

credibility as the industry’s superior core of excellence.

This June, Village Pipol is in harmony to 

celebrate the 120 th Anniversary of the 

Philippine Independence. In this issue, 

we feature two of the most promising 

and exceptional stars of this generation, 

gripping with their royal-like bearing. Ella 

Cruz and Donnalyn Bartolome invite critical 

apprehension with their classical beauty mixed 

with impressive individuality as actresses. They 

delicately represent the liberating principles 

and empowering passion in which the issue 

greatly speaks. 

These two full-spirited women radiate totally 

divergent personality and stripes. Nevertheless, 

the varying flavors created a satisfying 

ensemble of unmatched masterpiece, shipping 

from the neat panning of claps and plaudits. 




Ella Cruz started her career as a child actress, 

still and all, the 21-year old actress-dancer has 

always been a woman of bolt out for complete 

sheer. Despite being in the industry for more 

than a decade, she constantly dazzles with 

intricacy of her character. She is impressive, 

unequaled and supple.

On the other hand, Donnalyn Bartolome is 

fluently and fluidly elegant. The 23-year old 

actress-singer boldly redefines the avenue of 

excellence through continuous exploration for 

her craft. Conversely, the broad and compound 

requisites of her play game made her a woman 

of charm. She is unshackled, refined and 

enthralling. 

on donnalyn: 


Donnalyn 


This June 20, Ella and Donnalyn are set to 

conquer the big screen with their suspensethriller 

movie Cry No Fear. The latest offering 

of VIVA Films renders unrepeated and 

compelling story, breaking the exhausted 

formula in the Philippine Cinema. 

“So my character here is maybe jealous kasi 

nasanay ako na ako yung princess before but 

now princesses na. Yung character ko may 

tampo. Makikita dito sa movie how me and 

Ella no matter how much we don’t like each 

other in the end kaming dalawa pa rin yung 

magtutulungan.” Donnalyn stated. 

on donnalyn: 




Ella described her character which opposed 

Donnalyn’s. “Ako si Wendy, ako yung anak sa 

labas. I had no choice kasi iniwan ako ng mom 

ko sa house where Donna lives. Very baliktad 

kami ni Donna kasi si Donna more on room 

lang, ako outgoing then very sporty.” 

on ella: 


Unlike any other actress of their age, Ella and 

Donnalyn breed sounding breakthrough of 

their brand. The fearless and feisty artistic tale 

painted an aesthetic metamorphosis of their 

class. 

Aside from acting, these two talented women 

are also passionate in another craft. Ella’s 

passion pours over dancing and singing is 

Donnalyn’s first love. There are times when one 

is being sacrificed over the other, Donnalyn find 

it hard at times because she personally writes 

her songs. 


“It’s really hard, I think napapabayaan ko yung 

singing ko, because I can’t finish writing. But 

I really love acting. It’s good that I am being 

trained … I think as an actress, I improve more. 

I guess it can be related to singing din. Because 

when you sing songs, you have to express what 

you feel or what the message of the song,” 

Donnalyn said. 

As for Ella, time management is the key in 

making both of these things work. “You give 

time to both of them, kasi di naman pwedeng 

sabay. While waiting for another project, dun 

papasok yung pagsasayaw ko. [Tsaka sa] dance, 

you can do it whenever, wherever you want. 

Give time, know your priority,” Ella explained. 

on ella:

Their movie characters are physically 

demanding and mentally exhausting. They jump 

from the terrace to the pool. They run in the 

middle of the rain and scream their lungs out. 

Amidst the cold nights they have to stay in their 

wet clothes. 



In the movie, Ella and Donnalyn was caught in 

a frightening situation in which they were left 

with no choice. Coincidentally, both of them 

experienced terrifying incidents that made 

them hold their chest with folded hands. 

“Scary [experience]? I think nung napasukan 

kami sa bahay. I had to wake up that morning 

ng 4AM because my call time was at 6AM and 

my brother woke up at 3AM to move to his 

room. He left his laptop and his wallet sa sala 

so there’s only one hour in between na gigising 

ako during that time [nung] nakuha yung gamit 

nya. But the thought na ‘What if I woke up 

[earlier] and saw that person?’ ‘What would’ve 

happened?’ I think it would’ve end badly,” 

Donnalyn shared. 

Ella’s scary experience happened when she was 

younger. “Kapag nagso-show [kami], medyo 

takot ako when it comes to aggressive guys 

specially yung biglang nangyayakap. Dati kasi 

when I was a kid, meron daw naghahanap sa 

'kin sa school na 'di ko kilala, nakikita ko lang 

sya sa Facebook na medyo pedophile yung 

dating. Sobrang creepy.” 

Catch the suspense-thriller movie of the year, 

Cry No Fear this coming June 20th. See them 

run, scream, jump, get up and fight! 

Donnalyn described 

some scenes as mentally 

traumatizing. 

Ella called it as palakasan ng 

resistensya.

#VPSpotlight features the newest hunk actor in town, 

Gab Lagman. The 22-year old model-actor started 

his showbiz career last 2017 under Viva Artist Agency. 

He already appeared on various TV series and movies 

which evidently made him one of the hottest men to 

watch for this 2018. 



“Accidentally lang nag-start ‘yung showbiz career ko, I 

was in Las Vegas, second year in college as a Nursing 

student and then puno lahat ng classes ko. So my mom 

and dad decided for me to go home, to try my showbiz 

career because I had six months free time. After I went 

home, VIVA signed me right away,” he said. 

Gab is charismatic but not over bearing. He entices an 

irresistible aura that made him the man soused in near 

perfection. This year, Gab was included on the list of 

a magazine’s best bodies. Prior to becoming a fitness 

inspiration of his generation, he used to be overweight 

when he was in grade school. 

“It was very humbling experience. I used to be 

overweight and obese in Elementary and High school 

so when I made to the Top 7 Mega Man, I was really 

blessed and grateful,” he proudly shared. 

As a newbie actor, Gab wishes to be paired with this 

generation’s hottest female stars. “My dream leading 

lady is probably from GMA, Sanya Lopez. I just like her 

looks, a real Filipina beauty. I also like Yassi Pressman. 

She is also pretty,” he revealed. 

In contrary to other actor of his age who prefer doing 

rom-com and drama films, Gab shared that he wants a 

mixed of action and comedy. “I want to do an actioncomedy 

movie. I like making people laugh and action 

so hunky ang dating,” he stated. 


GETTING TO KNOW 

GAB LAGMAN 

Any pick-up line? 

Hey, are you from Tennesse? 

’Coz, you are the only TEN I see in 

this club. 

Sexiest part of your body? 

Probably my chest. I like working out 

my chest. 

Love scene Leading Ladies? 

I would choose Sanya Lopez, Yassi 

Pressman, or Erich Gonzales as my 

leading lady. 

What quality of a girl really 

turns you on? 

I like girl who really smells good 

talaga. It really turns me on kapag 

naamoy kong sobrang mabango ang 

girl. Sobrang plus points sakin ‘yun.

MORENA MAGIC 


oreigners are always fascinated by the Filipinas naturally 

tanned skin. Morena has always been linked to elegance and 

Fsophistication. Colors become more vibrant when it is worn by 

a Morena. Sharp and clear colors pop even more with a naturally sun 

kissed skin tone.

O 

pt for white, black, navy blue, yellow, and 

red. These solid colors will complement the 

brown-skinned beauty. Stray away from 

beige and orange. Black and white are the morena’s 

go-to colors. And no one can go wrong with these 

minimalist tones, it also pointed out that white makes 

morena’s skin look fuller and richer, while black 

“draws out” the gold tone in your complexion. 

But what makes a fashion more of an eye-catcher, 

head turner, and jaw dropping is the confidence of 

the bearer of the outfit.

Sid & Aya: Not A Love Story 

Raw but tasteful, savors comprehensive and 

high-sounding storytelling 

Written by Jim Reynold Zamora 

Revered through the merit of the formulaic 

comprehension of the art of film making, Sid & Aya 

penetrates the requisites of the contemporaries. Viva 

Films’ latest offering is evidently thick and densely 

rendered through outspoken disclosure, quelling the 

brave theories of both plain and selective. 

VP/Rating: 

«««« 

The movie features two of the biggest stars of the 

industry that made it daringly imposing and ambitious. 

Anne Curtis and Dingdong Dantes carefully 

supplemented the demands and insistence of the 

story’s uphill, engaging through their own characters’ 

deep skin and countless strands. The ensemble, 

pointing out the either way of the parallel, gracefully 

spliced within the reach of the bending embodiment 

of each snap. Consequently, it directs the flow of 

empathetic clock to the façade of both awful and 

blinding side of the spectrum. 

The movie is tactless and unconcealed. The 

forceful elements of the piece’s bare stains upheld 

commanding and coherent essence of its bold 

gambling. 

The movie is dominant, weighty and effective, clinging 

on the values of the longstanding perception to the 

overbearing features. 

Despite the complexity of its complexion, the film 

managed to complement the personable frames and 

sequences through impressive cinematic approach. It 

modified the abundant and creamy atmosphere into 

a masterpiece derived from captivating executions. 

Thus, the movie stipulated an ironic pulse of both 

comprehensive and high-sounding storytelling. 

Irene Villamor’s “Sid and Aya” sincerely abuts the 

idea of love and relationship, sinking into the honest 

narration of raw and passionate timing. It denied to 

romanticize the present melody of its class, making 

it organic and pragmatic. Undoubtedly, the film is 

distinctive in the sense of bringing the stories of 

two souls through amusing placement of twists and 

bustling stir. 

Without question, Anne Curtis as Aya is aesthetic, 

equipped and tasteful. She painted a condensed 

portrayal, knitted within her movie persona’s deepseated 

sway. The award-winning actress liberally 

whacks the grasp in regards to the essence of warmth 

and desire. Moreover, the vulnerability, despite her 

need for survival develops a sensation of admiration 

and longstanding appeal. 

On the other hand, multi-awarded actor Dingdong 

Dantes successfully exalted himself with his adjacent 

acting essential to its terms. He deliberately 

apprehends the character’s craving through 

embracing the skin and smell of Sid's every scene. 

He is sincere, plausible and supremely evocative. 

The movie tells a blanket love story outside the bushed 

formula of the old romantic movies. It is not saturated 

with unwarranted flavors that made it smooth to chew. 

Certainly, it has unique and pleasant treatment which 

added authenticity to its purpose. This masterpiece 

fetchingly rendered critical directing and empathy to 

forethought. 

Sid & Aya is an instant prime of its kind, well-made 

through tasteful appetite.
