Eventologist Mizken Tirol Andan is spending time at home with family amid the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) imposed due to the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

She has been trying to find other ways to express herself these days. It turns out the former TV child star is a savvy veteran when it comes to social media.

With the coronavirus situation keeping her at home, Mizken is using TikTok as another way to connect with friends and fans.

Regil "Pipay" Gucor is also getting creative during this COVID-19 stay at home order. She is using TikTok to entertain her friends.

"I've been trying to respect the ECQ imposed by our leaders as much as possible so I haven't had the chance to go outside to enjoy summer," she said.

Instead, she's been using TikTok to look inside herself and express her creativity, and she suggests we all do the same.

Another TikToker is former Miss Bohol Maria Vanessa Cadorna-Aumentado, wife of Bohol Second District Rep. Erico Aristotle Aumentado. 

At first, she was a little uncomfortable but eventually enjoying to try and come up with more creative ideas. 

She even convinced her hubby, Rep. Aris, to dance!  And the response has been surprisingly good that people asked for more entertaining videos.

"Pa good vibes lang," she captioned one of her videos showing her dancing skills.

Vanessa also said it is also a stress reliever after packing relief goods for frontliners and constituents in the second district.

Tagbilaran City Mayor Baba Yap and Dauis Mayor Marietta Sumaylo are also TikTokers.  In one of his videos, Mayor Baba is gently cuddling his baby for a sleep. The father and daughter bonding is too cute!

Our friends in the media are also TikTokers. Ern Pahayahay and Helen Castaño are showing their funny sides.

Affected by the pandemic, it’s understandable that many people are turning to TikTok to share their quarantine experiences, fears, questions and prayers to ease their anxious minds and stay entertained during the crisis.

The social media says a lot about people's daily lives and their ability to find bright spots and humor in a dark time.

TikTok will change the way our social media works— even if you’re avoiding it.

Here for a three-day visit was US-based socialite and beauty pageant watcher Mikey Gatal. Mikey, who owns the popular website www.mikeygatal.com and www.boholster.com, got the “royal treatment” from his family and friends.

Mikey met his siblings and friends. He also spearheaded an outreach program at Karaw-an Day Care Center in Tagbilaran City last Tuesday, June 21. At least 29 pupils received apples and school supplies.

“Yes, part of my visit was to give back and as much as I can, prioritize this endeavor of mine which is very close to my heart,” he said.

Of course, OMG models--- Adelyn Joy Esclamado, Imaculada Cleofe Leopardas and new image Rodulfo Malto, Jr.-- were there. Neil Namuag, Gayle Suzette Yu and Pham Marzon didn’t make it to the event since they are working outside the province.

“My OMG models are very supportive and they possess the kind of people I envision to be giving, loving and always give their support to good causes,” Mikey said.

“Seeing the OMG models in action gave me chills, they did not disappoint me and I am happy that they also loved to support my causes,” he added.

Speaking of Malto, popularly known as Junior, Mikey has chosen him because he perfectly embodies OMG---confident, secure and knowing exactly what he wants.

 Malto, who is taking up Criminology at University of Bohol (UB), was Mr UB Personality 2015 third runner-up. A part-time model, Malto was part of the Hanford model last week at the Island City Mall attended by Mikael Daez.

He is also included in the top 8 official candidates of the Alturas Festival King 2016.

Before flying back to the US with his mother Fely (who is now an immigrant), Mikey also met his high school classmates of HNU  Batch 1987.

Mikey said he will attend the 30 years reunion on July 14-17, 2017.

“See you, all!” he said.

Mizken’s new Belo endorser

“Wow, bongga!!!”

So who’s the new model on the Belo billboard at the top of Tagbilaran City Square on B. Inting Street, that gets everyone excited every time we pass by that area?

I guess you, too, must be wondering who that baby is, with a smile so endearing that you want to pinch her. Yes, the new endorser of Zo Skin Health (by world-renowned board certified dermatologist for 30 years Dr. Zein Obagi, M.D.) of the Belo Medical Group is eventologist Mizken Tirol Andan.

The worth of most celebrities now is measured through billboards. The more your face pollutes the highways, the more popular you are.

Then, it has to be on the much-coveted prime spot just like Mizken’s.

It will be exciting to see how Mizken will bloom and transform in the coming days under the care of Belo.
