Don't Tax My Beauty






#Don'tTaxMyBeauty

If you are all over social media you will see a lot of ladies posting their selfies with #DontTaxMyBeauty for the past week now. The hashtag trended on Twitter as Filipino netizens expressed opposition to the proposed vanity tax.


The Corpus Juris, the online Philippine Law Library, said on its Twitter account that the proposed vanity tax is "unjust, unconstitutional, oppressive and discriminatory."

Social Media Power

Most netizens lamented that the proposed vanity tax directly affects women.This is due to the fact that Bicol representative Rodel Batocabe proposed to imposed 10-30% tax on cosmetic products and cosmetic procedures. However, an online campaign against this won as stated by the Inquirer dated January 18, 2017. 

According to the report Rep. Batocabe stated that : 

“We also listen to the sentiments of the people who will be affected by the tax on the beauty industry,” Batocabe said at a press conference on Monday.
Batocabe’s proposal to tax what he described as a “multibillion-peso beauty industry” drew a firestorm of protests within days, led by a social media campaign called #DontTaxMyBeauty.


“The vanity tax was proposed in good faith to spare our people the scourge of imposing excise taxes on petroleum. But then, we do realize from the sentiments that taxing beauty products would also adversely affect certain sectors, which according to some, would also deprive them of their basic happiness. Hence, this decision,” Batocabe said.


Once again this shows that the power of social media when used strategically overnight change move mountains. Millenials really speaks thier mind thru social media platforms and with that I just hope that everybody will use it to benefit them for the good.

LIV Nation - Sinulog Jamboree 2017

There is no other great way to start the year but with a huge festival as the Sinulog-Santo Nino Festival. Just a little history of this festivity. It is an annual cultural and religious festival held on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City and is the center of the Santo NiƱo Catholic celebrations in the Philippines.  
The word Sinulog comes from the Cebuano adverb sulog which roughly means "like water current movement;" it describes the forward-backward movement of the Sinulog dance. The dance consists of two steps forward and one step backward, done to the sound of drums.




In line with the most grandest festival in our country expecting more that 1 Million local and tourist to participate in all the activities (if you want to know the schedule of the activity for this festival please do visit : Cebu Goverment's website for details ). The BIGGEST and most LUXURIOUS club in Cebu will be having an event that you will surely enjoy too. 

LIV NATION  Sinulog Street Party 2017 will be hosted by no other that LIV SUPERCLUB. Since the club's aim is to be one of the major proponents of tourism in Cebu, and it's commitment to provide world class entertainment by giving exciting recreational thrills, superb performances, unique events, and spectacular lifestyle options. Their own way of celebrating this festival is something we shouldn't miss.




From the line up of the DJ's that will be on the event I am sure that all of you finestclubbers from Cebu will enjoy this most awaited street party for the festival. One of our favorite DJ will be rock your night on January 14 no other than DJ Soulful Jigs. I know that many of my readers here are familiar with him since he is an ambassador Jail Jeans and a resident DJ of Royal Club in Makati. I featured him a couple of times and he really exceeds expectations once he's on deck already. He is one of the most renowned DJ in the country. And sinulog will be lucky to party with his tracks that I am sure all of the cebuanos will be bouncing with.
