JC Santos is ‘The Eventologist’
JC Santos is known for being a versatile actor who is willing to tackle any challenging role whether it is for television, film or stage.
Amid the pandemic, JC received an irresistible offer from a Filipino filmmaker based in Qatar: the chance to portray an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) working as an event organizer in the said Arab country.
The actor in hit films such as “100 Tula Para Kay Stella,” “Miracle in Cell No. 7” (Philippine remake), and “The Day After Valentine’s” found the proposition intriguing and hard to turn down. After all, the struggles of overseas Filipino workers are close to his heart: JC’s parents are both OFWs and he himself spent several months working abroad as a singer-dancer.
SINGAPORE (THE BUSINESS TIMES) - Genting Singapore, the operator of Resorts World Sentosa, has posted in its first-quarter business overview a 26 per cent drop in net profit to $34.5 million for its first quarter ended March, while revenue declined 32 per cent to $277.9 million.
This was due to the Covid-19 impact which continued to weigh on its operational performance, it said on Friday (May 7), adding that its earnings decline would have been more pronounced if not for the support measures initiated by the Singapore government.
Under revenue, gaming revenue slid 19 per cent to $216.9 million, while non-gaming revenue plunged 56 per cent to $60.7 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) for its Singapore integrated resort (IR) fell 15 per cent to $135.1 million.

SINGAPORE: Guests who have pre-booked attraction tickets from May 8 to May 30 will still be allowed in, even as the Government announced that attractions will have to reduce their operating capacity during that period.
The multi-ministry task force said on Tuesday (May 4) that it will be tightening COVID-19 measures amid a rise in community cases. Among the measures include a reduced operating capacity for attractions, from 65 per cent to 50 per cent.

Star signs, DISC, Myers-Briggs, enneagram and alignment tests labels get such a bad connotation. Perhaps it’s because we think generalisation is what people do when they simply don’t want to make the effort to get to know you. Or maybe it’s something you display like a “hello, I’m ” sticker because you’re (a) lazy or (b) afraid to let others get to know you.
