GO GO GO GOLD!!!

First ever Cannes Lion Gold for the Philippines!

Tin Sanchez, my co-ECD at LOWE Vietnam (as well as my co-pilot in life) together with Dave Ferrer and myself finally scored GOAL! This was for a campaign we wrote for Lotus Spa while Tin and I were still in JWT Manila.

Thank you Lotus Spa for believing in the campaign. Thank you Maika for staying up late with us at HIT. Thank you guys at HIT; I believe this is your second Lion. Thanks to Golda and Denese for helping too! And to Rino!

Thank you to all the judges who actually thought the ads were worth the metal. We trully didn't see this one coming.

INUMAN NA!

That's Javey with is first ever Silver Guild trophy. He got it for his brilliant work for the anti-dog meat trade print ad for The Philippine Animal Welfare Society.

With him are Maan, Tin and Gelo.

From JWT to LOWE

Last May 25 was our last day at JWT Manila. Tin and I have moved to LOWE Vietnam. Starting last June 1st Tin and I will be LOWE Vietnam's new Joint ECDs.

It was a good two year affair at JWT. We found new friends. Did some good work. Sold some shampoos. Helped some dogs. And kept people from puking in buses.

Thanks Dave (Ferrer) and Matt (Seddon) for believing in me and Tin. Thanks Joe (Dy) and Carl (Urgino) and the forever called "Juniors", Javey, Maan, Griff and RJ (not their real names hehe). The ride was short and bumpy but you guys made sure it was fun.

Last May 31, The Creative Guild of the Philippines Ad of the Year Awards was held at the Metropolitan Museum. JWT gave us tickets and thankfully, we're very glad we came. JWT got two golds, a silver and two bronzes that night. Congrats Joedy, Carl, Javey, Karen, Dave and the accounts and planners who helped us with the ads. It was a good going away present.
