Another Gold for Manikako!
The little ragdolls never cease to amaze us.
Again, congratulations to all the people who gave their hearts and souls to this project. We may have gone our own ways now, but Manikako will always bring us together.
To add music to the celebration, here’s Mistula with Salamat Sa Iyo, Manikako, translated for our friends abroad who still reached out, sent donations and supported our cause. You give us hope.

Nicole Limos’ 33 Questions for Mistula
Writer Nicole Limos sent us 33 questions for the Sense&Style feature on Mistula, but not all of them made it on print. So we’re posting the interview here for you – uncut and complete with Lobo’s licentious remarks about Manx’s boobs.

1. Please tell me about your personal and professional background.
LUGOSI: I am Bella Lugosi, but everyone just calls me Lord Lugosi. I don’t know why. I play the drums and write songs for Mistula and decide the overall direction of the band. Of course I welcome inputs from them as well. When I’m in the mood.
UNO: I’m Uno, ECD – Executive Creative Doll – for an advertising agency by weekday, rockstar on weekends, and extra luggage on holidays.
MANX: My name’s Manx Minuet, and I’m the lead guitarist, occasional vocalist of Mistula. I also co-write the songs with Lugosi. Mostly, I put melodies to his words. Porn films? Been there, done that. Now I’m just Mistula’s six-string sex siren – a role I like very much.
LOBO: My name’s Lobo, former leader of the British street gang called Lycantroops. I used to make a living in the underground fighting dens in London until I became the rhythm guitarist for Mistula.
MANX: Notice his sexy British accent.
Mistula on Manila Bulletin’s Style Weekend
In Nicole Limos’ Interview with Mistula for Sense & Style magazine, the writer asked, “What dreams are you in the process of fulfilling?”
Manx answered, “My dream is to be on a cover of a magazine.”
And there she was.

Rainbows After The Rain
Congratulations to Manikako for winning a bronze at the Spikes Asia, the Festival for Asian Advertising where the creative industry gathers in Singapore to celebrate the best work in advertising communications and marketing.

If you listen closely, the soundtrack of the AVP is based on Mistula’s latest song, Salamat Sa Iyo, Manikako. Isn’t that awesome?
To all the people who worked so hard to make Manikako possible, our hearty applause goes to you!
And cheers to our roadie, Rey, whose team bagged the Silver Spike for their Hate Late campaign. What can I say? We are full of win.
