P1 MILLION RAFFLE PRIZE in World Series of Fighting - Global Championship Philippines vs The World

World Series of Fighting – Global Championship (WSOF-GC) held a press conference today at Novotel Araneta Center, to announce five exciting fights featuring Filipino fighters against rising stars from around the globe.  Five representatives from Philippines will take on athletes from China, Brazil, Pakistan, and two from Malaysia.

Mario Sismundo (3-1) will be in the spotlight as the co-main event, when he takes on China’s Keremuaili Maimaitituoheti (5-3). Mario’s charisma and charm has captivated the Philippines’ fan base. It doesn’t hurt that he carries a striking resemblance to boxing great, Manny Pacquiao. The relationship between Philippines and China has been toxic due to disputes over territories in West Philippines Sea and South China Sea.  This fight will have national pride on the line.

The feature female bout of the night showcases Jujeath Nagaowa (2-0), a former professional boxer who won the WBC Asian Boxing Council Female Atomweight Title and WIBA International Light Flyweight Title.  The “Bad Girl” will be taking on Malaysia’s Audreylaura Boniface (1-1), who is a doctor in her daily profession.

The lead fight on the undercard features undefeated rising MMA prospect, Neil Larano (2-0). He will be taking on Pakistan’s Ahmed “Wolverine” Mujtaba (6-0).  With neither of these fighters having tasted defeat before, this is sure to be a spectacular match.

Jenelyn Olsim (2-0) is coming off an impressive win against Australia’s Claire Fryer, whose only previous loss was to UFC fighter Alex Chambers.  Her undefeated record will face a whole new test against Brazil’s Nayara Hemily (3-3), winner of her last two contests.

Rounding out the action is local Underground Battle MMA (UGB-MMA) matchmaker, Jessdan Dela Pena, who will welcome the pro debut of Malaysia’s Kelvin Ong.

                “I have goosebumps!” Jason Lilly, Vice President of Operations and Matchmaker for WSOF-GC. “This is such an exciting concept – Philippines Versus the World.  We used a similar concept in Japan with the international fighters winning 5-3. The fans are the real winners here. This is an opportunity for them to see other international combatants against some of their local heroes. It also gives Filipino fighters a chance to measure themselves against their counterparts. I can say with certainty that there has never been an event like this here in Philippines.”

“WSOF-GC Owner, Dunesa Hesser, adds, “If that wasn’t exciting enough, one lucky fan is going to win one million pesos the night of the fight. We have been working with TicketNet and DTI to make this event extra special for one lucky fan. We will announce the winning ticket number during the fight. Someone other than the winning fighters is going to be walking away with a big smile that night.”


WSOF-GC will host WSOF-GC 3 Philippines at Smart Araneta Coliseum on July 30, 2016. Tickets start at PHP300 with ringside seats available for PHP4000.

MAXiM Ultra-Natural Eyebrow Transplant for natural looking full eyebrows

Tired of retouching your eyebrows every day? Not satisfied with eyebrow tattoo? Flaunt natural looking eyebrows through the MAXiM Ultra-Natural Eyebrow Transplant.

People lose hair on their eyebrows due to a variety of reasons – medical disorders, genetics, electrolysis, laser hair removal, over plucking, thyroid conditions, scars, and age.

In the 90’s, skinny eyebrows were on point. Well known celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Drew Barrymore used to sport pencil-thin drawn eyebrows. Trends constantly change and so does the standard of beauty. Nowadays, there is an increasing number of women, even men, who have become obsessed with having full eyebrows. In fact, a myriad of YouTube videos are solely dedicated to putting on eyebrow make-up and making it look as natural as possible. These days, a lot of people think eyebrows strongly determine good looks and the attractiveness of a person.

Although many say they do not mind the time it takes to perfect putting on or grooming their eyebrows every day, some find it tedious and time-consuming. Maybe they will find an Eyebrow Transplant procedure appealing. It is a permanent solution for those who have thin eyebrows and those who are experiencing eyebrow hair loss as well.

The MAXiM Ultra-Natural Eyebrow Transplant is safe and easily done. It uses the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure or the conventional Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) technique and is performed under local anesthesia by a MAXiM Hair Transplant Surgeon. It takes roughly two hours to complete the procedure, and after the experience, one can return to normal working activity within a day or two.

The hair transplanted onto the eyebrow area is taken from one’s own hair that is harvested from the back of the head. Transplanted hair generally falls off a few weeks after the procedure, but it will re-grow after four months and is permanent. It needs to be trimmed regularly, however.

Mac Fadra, CEO of Maxim Hair Restoration, says “Ultra-Natural Eyebrow Transplant is safe, effective and permanent. It can give you the confidence and satisfaction that you’re looking for because it can be shaped in the exact look and style that you desire for your eyebrows”.

MAXiM Hair Restoration is the Manila branch of the New York-based hair transplant company that also has offices in Connecticut and Chicago in the US; Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, and other Asian markets. MAXiM specializes and focuses on hair restoration, with the mantra "Hair is all we do and we do it well". It has been doing business in the Philippines since 2005.
