Sizzle mah schizzle! Saturday, March 13, 2010 was an uber special day for ladies! In celebration of Women’s Week, SM City Cagayan de Oro, along with top retail brands Penshoppe, Mint, Folded and Hung, Maldita and Bossini, hosted the “Hot Hunks Fashion Show” featuring no less than the current toast of the local fashion world, Brazilian-Japanese (Brapanese) hottie Akihiro Sato.
For the uninitiated, Akihiro Macieira Sato is a 6 ft 1 inch stunner born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He used to model in Thailand but now he has decided to grace the Philippine shores with his amazing looks and pleasing disposition and has decided to live here for good!
Be still my heart!
So of course, who wouldn’t want to go to SM City CDO to catch this cutie?
So along with some friends, Mindanaoan went and waited for the arrival of this certified Hot Hunk. Before his grand apparition, however, there were some local hunks who graced the stage, to the delight of the female spectators.
More photos after the jump!

Hello everyone! How is everyone doing? It’s been quite a while and I really hope all of you are in good health. Mindanaoan has been very busy as of late and this is due to the start of the nationwide campaign sorties. As you all know, the campaign period for the national positions began last February 9, 2010 and political parties have been so busy visiting various areas around the country.
Mindanaoan is a part of these nationwide tours.
This has actually got me thinking — perhaps it’s best if I also share my own experience straight from the campaign trail. What do you guys think? I was thinking of sharing exclusive photos, videos, kuwentos and other things that may prove to be interesting somehow for all of my readers.
I was thinking of sharing behind-the-scenes stuff. What do political candidates do to prepare themselves before a grand rally? What do they eat, talk about, think of?
What do candidates bring during travels? What are they like after a full day of campaigning — do they hang out with other candidates, with the staff, with the media? Do they swear?
Yep, I was thinking of sharing just about anything that may interest my Mindanaoan.com readers.
Apart from hoping that this effort could lead to more blog subscribers (if you haven’t SUBSCRIBED yet, please SUBSCRIBE TO MINDANAOAN.COM NOW by clicking this. Thanks!), I’m also hoping that this could help people understand and see what it is like to be a part of a nationwide campaign. I’m hoping that through my posts here in Mindanaoan.com, people will see another side of politics (hopefully the human side) and see if indeed what comes out in media reports/news reports jibe with what’s going on behind the scenes.
What do you guys think of this plan? Do let me know

And as a “patikim” for what’s to come here in Mindanaoan.com, here’s a shot of Willie Revillame along with the Nacionalista Party slate during the NP grand rally in Mandaue over the weekend (roughly 100,000 people came):

Nacionalista Party’s Grand Cebu City “Wowowillie” rally

Mindanaoan had the chance to cover the uber grand “Wowowillie meets Manny Villar” rally in Cebu City recently. Yes, it was “Wowowee” and popular host Willie Revillame meet Nacionalista Party standard bearer Manny Villar, vice presidential candidate Loren Legarda and senatorial bets Atty. Adel Tamano, Gilbert Remulla, Bongbong Marcos, among others.
I was personally curious as to how the show would go. Of course, it was obviously a political affair in the guise of a variety show. However, and I say this with all fairness, you could sense during the show that because Willie Revillame is an avid supporter of Manny Villar, the show had “heart” (Willie spoke spontaneously as he rallied support for Villar, Legarda and the senatorial candidates, he shared personal experiences, personal thoughts about what the country needs and how Villar can help) and a lot of people really came not because they were “hakot” but because they wanted to see for themselves if indeed Senator Villar was the “sagot sa kahirapan.” I interviewed a lot of people before the show (hundreds already waited as early as 2 PM) and they told me that they wanted to hear for themselves what Senator Villar intends to do, should he gain the presidential seat.
Roughly 100,000 people came and watched the show, which was held at the North Reclamation area in Mandaue City, Cebu. As you can see from the photos I took, a huge stage was put up just for the show and a huge orange check shone brightly at the center of the stage.
Yes, it was a “bongga” show. I’m pretty sure people didn’t mind that the Nacionalista Party candidates were given time to speak and share their platforms of governance. The show was, after all, free and it was “Wowowee.” The show reeked of celebrities – from hosts Randy Santiago and Valerie Concepcion to guest performers Aegis band, Princess Ryan, Christine Reyes, Andrew E. (who brought the house down!) and April Boy Regino (who reportedly came back from the USA just to help in the Nacionalista Party campaigns) And then of course there’s Willie Revillame and his Kembot Girls (one of them was the “Congratulations” girl) plus a special guest sent in a video greeting straight from the USA — no less than Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.
