MANILA — Move over Margot Robbie, there’s a new Barbie in town painting it pink.

Actress Janella Salvador has become the latest celebrity to join the Barbie craze by holding a photoshoot recreating some of Margot’s looks from the new summer blockbuster

“Barbie” directed by Greta Gerwig.

In a series of posts on Instagram, Janella shared some of her photos taken by Claude Villahermosa and makeup by Carissa Cielo Medved and Corra Dela Rosa as she went into Barbiemode.

“The Philippines is considered one of the largest franchise markets in Southeast Asia,” the ITA observed. “Metro Manila alone, with a population of 20 million during the day, is a target market for foreign franchises. The key to success would be identifying a capable local partner and bringing a unique concept that can be priced according to Philippine standards.”

Fiesta In America’s President and CEO, Nanding Mendez, notes that the fullday festival intends not only to promote investments in Philippine franchisers through reliable partners such as Elite Club Pinoy, but also to shine a bright light on the social benefits of the business model. Sonny “Mogs” Angeles, founder and President of the Elite Club Pinoy, concurs. “The Elite Club mindset goes beyond financial wealth and beyond acknowledging the valuable skills that contribute to business growth,” says Angeles. “A portion of the profits from successful transactions is allocated to the club’s social responsibilities, such as community services, scholarships, and healthcare support.” As part of its social-good partnership with Fiesta In America, the club will bring the cast of Hatid Saya! Sa Fiesta In America (Cesar Montano, Jay Manalo, Boobsie Wonderland plus many more) to entertain the thousands of expected attendees.

Fiesta In America’s huge audience will provide a direct-marketing and sales platform for Philippine and U.S. exhibitors who wish to tap into the lucrative Fil-Am market. To date, exhibitors include Asian Journal Publications, Vista Land International, Bayani

Pay, Alveo Land, Ayala

Land International Sales Inc., Delicacies by Sheree, Eastern Gems Corp., Eva Air, Filipino Homes, IAm Worldwide IBC NYC, Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte, C-Mobility Special Home Care Services, Provincial Government of La Union, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, PAL, PNB, Sendwave, Supreme Health System LLC, Saladmaster, The Elite Club, Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority of the Philippines (TIEZA), UniFFied, PNA-NJ, Caring Partners, Wee, Fiesta in America Handicrafts, and Philippine Weddings/ ZoomBox Videos.

Fiesta In America will treat attendees to a full day of festivities that will start at 10am with a fullregalia Santacruzan and Holy Mass. The festival’s high point will be a concert featuring singer-actress Tuesday Vargas; rising FilAm and multicultural artists from the New York area, including exciting Latino performers; a Street Food

Fiesta at American Dream, and more.

In a related development, Fiesta In America’s companion-gala, the People’s Ball, will celebrate its 14th Anniversary on Sunday, August 13 starting at 12noon at the Marriot Liberty International Airport Hotel in Newark, New Jersey. The gala will be highlighted by this year’s Empowerment Awards for individuals and organizations whose bodies of work reflect the best of Filipinos in the United States.
