It’s a combination unlike any other and this is What Green Tea Could Be,” said Sharon Tanganco, Hydration and Tea Category Director of Coca-Cola Philippines.

Erich couldn’t agree more. “I’ve always loved drinking tea and I was actually surprised to know that Real Leaf has honey. I never thought it could be that unique ingredient that can add that hint of gentle sweetness and make it even more delicious. Of all three flavors, Honey Apple, Honey Lemon and Honey Lychee, I find Real Leaf Honey Lychee the yummiest. And that’s the best part about drinking this product- you know it’s not only tasty, healthy too. It’s my gold standard for green tea!” Erich adds. Naturally, honey is a good source of antioxidants and even contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids and can even help prevent seasonal allergies.

Tiger Woods Granted Divorce
0Tiger Woods is now divorced with his wife Elin Nordegren after shocking revelations that the world’s most famous athlete had multiple affairs. This is aside from the issue of scandal which paved way his million dollars corporate sponsorship from Accenture, AT&T and Gatorade.
Both decided to file the their divorce in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., about 375 miles away from their Isleworth home outside Orlando.
The court granted their divorce because their marriage was described as “irretrievably broken” having no point in trying to reconcile. The divorce was finalized by Bay County Circuit Judge Judy Pittman Biebel.
Woods and Nordegren also decided to share parenting for their two children Sam, a 3-year-old daughter and Charlie, a 19-month-old son.
Willie Resigned from ABS-CBN
0After some meetings with ABS-CBN officials, Willie Revillame sent his resignation letter to the network with a copy for the media.
He announced that he is leaving despite the existing contract. Revillame claimed that he was treated unfairly by the network that’s why he pleaded to set him free.
Revillame supposed to go back to Wowowee on July 30 as an agreement prior with his meetings with ABS-CBN Entertainment Production head Linggit Tan on July 10, and ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on July 13.
However, he was met again by the chairs and told him that there were changes. Wowowee will be replaced by a new game show while he will be assigned to a pre-recorded weekly show and a possible Studio23 program.
He objected to that decision and told the network that he wanted to withdraw his contract.
“To Sir Gabby and Ma’am Charo, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and for giving me opportunities in life. I have yet to decide what to do for the days to come. But for now my objective is to move on and to learn from my experience,” he said.
Meanwhile, here is the full official statement of ABS-CBN regarding the issue:
We take note of Willie Revillame’s pronouncements in his press conference today.
Willie is bound to ABS-CBN by a contract until September 2011. He violated the behavioral provisions of his contract when he threatened the ABS-CBN management during the May 4, 2010 episode of Wowowee, with a resignation if management does not fire another artist of the network. His behavior was generally seen as a display of disrespect and arrogance, completely unacceptable to the Filipino public.
As the one who violated his contract, Willie has no right to have it unilaterally invalidated. Contracts are binding agreements that must be respected by the contracting parties involved. The one who violates the contract cannot be allowed to dictate whether it should continue or end. Otherwise, contracts will have no value and may be terminated based on whim.
ABS-CBN is the aggrieved party, and as such, is the only one that can decide to end the agreement.
Despite all that had happened, ABS-CBN was willing to continue with the contract. Willie however, refused to take responsibility for his actions.
ABS-CBN wishes to reiterate that it will hold Willie to his obligations under the contract which expires September 2011.
