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.
Hall of Fame, yeah!
Mistula’s latest song, Salamat Sa Iyo, Manikako, made it to the Overplay Hall of Fame! Whoa. Lugosi pointed this out to me just yesterday. Well, I’ve been preoccupied with more important matters like… well, girls.

And our old friend and editor of Rock Nation magazine Karl Acepcion wrote a very inspiring piece about Mistula RIGHT HERE.
Thanks, Overplay. Thanks, Karl. And thanks for bossing us around, Lugosi. I guess your tyranny has its merits after all.
For up-to-date Mistula news (I’m not well-known for being punctual), please keep tabs on our Facebook page and the Mistula blog, Revelations.
Objects of Worship, The Making Of
June 6, 2009 was a very wet day. But that didn’t stop the Mistula crew from driving the slippery highways to Pampanga, a province two hours from Manila, known for its skilled sculptors and religious heritage. We had a deadline to catch. The editor-in-chief of Sense&Style magazine, AA Patawaran, wanted Mistula on the fashion spread for July, and he said the photos had to be in no later than June 10. It was going to be Mistula’s first time to appear on a fashion spread – and the first time for BJDs to be featured in a Philippine fashion magazine. So Joey, our virtual band manager, gathered the crew and had us rushing towards her hometown for a shoot worthy of Sense&Style’s Art issue.
