The Fiesta Filipina will be held from 10am-6pm both Saturday and Sunday. Bring the family and save room for some delicious Filipino food from Irma’s Pampanga restaurant.
Last weekend all of us from Aryty had a great time attending the Fiesta Filipina 2008 in San Francisco. Perfect weather, good food and seeing Charice perform was amazing! The Aryty Karaoke Smart car with guest host Jaja from TFC’S new show Adobo Nation was also a hit.
Sunday, Aryty hosted a special guest appearance in the Aryty booth with Jake Cuenca who stopped by for a meet and greet with our guests in addition to plenty of promos, gift bags and Globe, Smart and Sun Cellular load for all. The weekend went by so fast it’s hard to believe it’s over.

My favorite Charice picture from Fiesta Filipina
These are just a few of the pictures we took of Charice performing at the Fiesta Filipina last weekend. Her performance was absolutely amazing and the coolest part was being able to meet her afterwards! You can check out more photos of Charice on our Flickr account so you can download a picture of Charice for yourself.
We also posted new videos of Charice’s performance you can watch. Make sure you don’t miss these great videos of this young diva! We can’t wait to see her again next month at the U.S. Philippines Expo in LA!
Charice Pempengco brought the house down at Fiesta Filipina in San Francisco, June 8th signing favorites like I will always love you. This junior diva and global superstar wowed everyone by performing more than 3 songs Sunday at the Fiesta Filipina and followed her performance with a meet and greet at TFC.
Charice is not only blessed with an incomparable voice but also has the stage presence and charisma to impress even the toughest crowds. She is truly an amazing talent and we were thrilled to have the chance to see her perform live in San Francisco at the Fiesta Filipina 2008.
We did manage to catch some of her songs on tape and will make sure to post them so you can see video of Charice Pempengco sing.
Time for the Fiesta Filipina again in San Francisco at the Civic Center Plaza this weekend the 7th and 8th of June. Aryty will be giving out free Globe load, free Smart load and free Sun load in addition to introducing the Aryty Smart Car! If you come out please drop by our booth for a promo, get a free load and sing along with us in the Aryty Smart!
There will be amazing performances with a headliner appearance from Charice Pempengco who just flew in from the New York Philippine Independence Day Parade held last weekend. Other performers include Jake Cuenca, Randy Santiago and Rachel Alejandro.

Jan Maghinay Padios is a Ph.D student at NYU researching Filipino consumer culture. She is working with Aryty this summer as part of her research so make sure to say Kamusta if you see her!

As a Ph.D student researching Filipino consumer cultures for my dissertation, I found that working with Aryty at the Pinoy Musik
Festival was both energizing and informative. Although I helped the Aryty team give away promos like free load and Globe SIM cards, and prepare for signings by Fil-Am star Sam Milby, I also kept my eyes and ears open for ways to answer some of the questions that organize my research.
For example, through Aryty, I am learning how a company markets to Filipinos. What strikes me about Aryty is the way “transnational” Filipinos have become an important part of their market. By “transnational,” I mean that people have ties to more than one nation. For example, many Filipinos that I know work and live in the United States, but send money “home” so that a niece or nephew can go to school or a brother or sister can build a house. These are all transnational ties, since it means that Filipinos in one location are involved in the lives (and drama rin, di ba?) of family and friends in the Philippines.
It seems to me that the desire to keep these ties together helps foster new systems – and cultures – of communication, which is why the business of selling long-distance airtime is so huge, and why roaming SIM cards are becoming more popular. But, I’ve also got to ask: how did all this happen in the first place? How did the telecommunications industry get to be such a powerhouse in the Philippines and how are American companies getting linked into it ? Who have been the leaders in the industry, and what makes their business so successful? What laws, market forces, and technological changes made growth in Philippine telecom possible? I think these are important questions to ask because I believe such changes have an impact on culture, which in turn affects what business leaders do. Aryty.com, for example, was launched in response to Philippine texting culture, which emerged because of changes in the Philippine telecom industry. So, how do market forces and culture work together in the twenty-first century?
Yes, believe it or not, these were some the thoughts running through my brain this weekend, even as I was blowing up Aryty balloons and taking pictures of Sam Milby’s and MYMP’s adoring fans.
We’ve started posting photos from the Philippine Fiesta 2007 at the Meadowlands with more pics to come over the next few days. To check out Pops, Piolo, the Filipina beauty queens and lots more go to www.aryty.com/photos.

New York and New Jersey is home to thousands of Filipinos and todays attendance at the Philippine Fiesta in the Meadowlands was standing room only. Starting with the young talents in the morning time to Piolo making a PA and almost bringing the house down!
The Aryty Team was busy giving away free Globe load, Smart load and Sun load to folks who stopped by the booth to say hello in addition to handing out some promos! Lots of Filipinos still don’t know how easy it can be to help a loved one by sending load so it was a great chance for us to spread the word. Surprisingly many people have roaming mobile phones from the Philippines and were excited to learn they can buy load and recharge their mobile using Aryty. A special surprise was Beau Canlas, the fast rising star on MYX coming to the event with his family from Virginia and the Philippines! He kicked it with the Aryty Team and even took pictures with fans.
Tomorrow the Fiesta will start with a mass at 10am and then the day really gets exciting with Pops Fernandez making an appearance in the Aryty booth at 2PM! What a true honor and privilege to have this beautiful filipina and Concert Queen stop by! Of course we know everyone will cherish a picture with Pops and we’re excited to offer the chance.
See Pops Fernandez, meet Beau from MYX, watch the Miss Philippine Fiesta pagent, hear the next Philippine Idol and enjoy Filipino cuisine all at the Philippine Fiesta 2007! oh….bring your friends by our booth so we can tell them about the best way to buy load too! Get Philippine Fiesta Details
Super Diva and Concert Queen Pops Fernandez will be performing at the Philippine Fiesta 2007 at the Meadowlands in New Jersey this weekend.
In addition to performing at the event, Pops will be making a personal appearance in the Aryty booth on Sunday afternoon. Guests will have the chance to meet and capture a memorable photo with Pops prior to her same day performance.
The U.S. Philippines Expo will be help this weekend on August 4th and 5th at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona.
The Expo was established in 1993 by Ruben Panopio as a way to unite Filipinos and celebrate culture of the Philippines. This years event will include a singing competition, Ms. US-Philippine Expo competition and performances from Pops Fernandez and Tuesday Vargas! Of course there will also be plenty of cultural exhibits and amazing food from the Philippines to enjoy.
