Parisian brand Sandro opens first boutique in Manila
Located at Greenbelt 5, Sandro held a launch event earlier in June, which was attended by Kapuso stars Max Collins and Michelle Dee.
Sandro's Makati boutique showcases ready-to-wear pieces, accessories, and footwear that embody Parisian elegance.
'Manila is well known for its unique mix of contrasts and cultural references. Sandro is all about contrast and a mix of influences, so Manila feels like an obvious place for us,' Sandro founder and artistic director Evelyne Chetrite said in a press release.
Evelyne and her partner, Didier Chetrite, first opened Sandro in 1984 at Le Marais in Paris, and quickly became known for its distinct refined and quirky quality present in both their men's and women's collections.
The Philippine outpost joins Sandro's growing presence in Southeast Asia with boutiques in neighboring countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan.
From Makati, Sandro is set to open another boutique at Central Square in Bonifacio Global City. — LA, GMA Integrated News

Rhian Ramos recalls time she almost quit showbiz
Rhian Ramos revealed that she once came close to leaving the entertainment industry entirely. According to Nelson Canlas' report on '24 Oras' Tuesday, Rhian started her TV career with 'Captain Barbel,' followed by more of her memorable projects like 'Lalola,' 'Ilumina,' 'Stairway to Heaven," and more. The Kapuso actress shared that GMA Network has witnessed her entire adulthood journey. 'Literally wala akong isang kahit isang adult experience na hindi ako Kapuso. All of the officers of the network are my family and this network has even seen me at my worst. So, for me, it's such an honor to be able to promise the network that I'm going to give them nothing but my best from now on,' she said. However, her tenure in showbiz led to what Rhian described as a 'love-hate relationship' with her work. 'There was a time that I almost quit,' she admitted. 'I think when you do any job or anything for a long time, I think there is a point na nagiging love-hate relationship. May mga times na inspired ka naturally kasi magaganda 'yung role or whatever, may mga times din na parang napapagod ka din and parang gusto ko gumawa ng something bago.' During this period of contemplation, Rhian considered pursuing business. 'More on business where I felt like 'yung value ko would be different. Siyempre nauso din ang bashing 'di ba? When there are so many people looking at you and they have negative things to say, they could really break your heart and rip you to pieces with their words,' she said. Rhian just renewed her contract with the Kapuso network on Tuesday. Present at the contract signing were GMA Network President and Chief Executive Officer Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Felipe S. Yalong, GMA Network Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, GMA Network Officer-In-Charge for Entertainment Group and Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, and Rhian's manager Michael Uycoco. 'Nagpapasalamat tayo. The loyalty is so deeply appreciated. 'Yung kaniyang walang patid na pagtitiwala sa GMA and how she's evolved into one of the finest actress of her time, all of these are things that make us all very happy, so nagpapasalamat tayo sa kaniya,' Duavit said. 'I'm so happy for Rhian and I hope she would continue to flourish 'yung career niya with GMA and we're behind her,' Yalong said. 'I've seen her growth as an actress, in fact she's one of our best actresses now. Napakagaling niya, napaka-talented, and I'm very, very happy na she has stayed with us all these years,' Valdes said. Rhian currently stars in 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' as Mitena. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News

Josh Ford still saving up for surgery to fix his ear drum after 2023 car accident
Josh Ford has a perforated ear drum after the tragic car accident that took the life of his fellow actor Andrei Sison and two others back in 2023. The former "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" housemate was the only survivor of the crash, which gave him the moniker "Ang Survivor Lad ng United Kingdom" inside Bahay ni Kuya. On the sidelines of the GMA Gala 2025, GMA News Online spoke to Josh about the surgery he needs for his left ear, which he previously revealed to house guest Gabbi Garcia in PBB. "I'm still trying to save up for the surgery and if I have time sana magawa ko na rin," he said. "Kasi it takes a while for it to heal. Mahaba 'yung recovery period niya." "Hopefully soon, magawa ko na. Blessings for more income, more money para lang magawa ko na," he added. Josh told Gabbi he has two holes in his ear drum and he is slowly losing his hearing in the left ear. The doctor initially said there's a chance it might heal by itself, but in a checkup before entering PBB, he was told he would need surgery. To protect his ear, Josh wears an earpiece when showering or swimming. The Filipino-British actor also said he did not want to burden his mother with the surgery costs. "My dad was the only provider talaga, my mom was a housewife. Tapos nung nawala siya, wala, lahat napunta sa mom ko. So ayoko naman ilagay rin sa kanya 'to," he said. Josh currently stars in the second season of Kapuso youth-oriented series "Maka." He previously appeared in GMA Prime series "My Guardian Alien," "Luv Is: Love At First Read," and "Jose and Maria's Bonggang Villa." The actor is also part of the roster of "host-mates" of Kapuso morning show "Unang Hirit." —CDC, GMA Integrated News
