While enjoying their stay in a beach resort in Baler, Star Magic artists raise awareness about plastic pollution by participating in a beach clean-up drive, as well as promote the province’s rich culture and history by supporting locally-made products and exploring Museo de Baler.

The 7^th episode of “Star Magic Hot Summer” opened with the continuation of Pepe Herrera, Alora Sasam, and Esnyr Ranollo’s trip to the town of Maria Aurora to visit the enchanting 600-year-old Millennium Tree, which is the oldest Balete Tree in Asia.

At the beach resort, the “Hot Summer” barkada check out handmade products like bags, hats, and mats weaved using sabutan, a local fiber. According to the resource person, a single sabutan hat is handmade for 3 hours while the bags and placemats take 1 day to make, and the bigger products take 2 to 3 days. These locally-made Baler products are also exported in different areas in the Philippines.

The video cut to Alora’s girly ‘kwentuhan’ with Jane Oineza, Heaven Peralejo, and Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 5 grand winner Maureen Wroblewitz. Catching up about their individual photoshoots, Alora asked some ideas on how to pose for her next bikini shots.

According to Maureen, who was also crowned as Miss Universe Philippines 2021 first runner-up, poses depend on the theme and wardrobe. If wearing a bikini, you may just play with the hair or accessories and act natural.

For Heaven, her go-to pose is stretching one arm over the head, as if showing off her armpits, to elongate the torso and make the arms look slimmer. As for Jane, she uses her surroundings, for instance posing under the shade of a tree.

The gang went next to Museo de Baler where they learned the province’s rich culture and history. The next morning, they woke up early to participate in a beach clean-up drive, as their little way of giving back to the ecosystem.
