Experience Cebu's Cultural Pulse at the New TOPS Media Center
Located on the fourth floor of The Circle at TOPS, TMC broadcasts on dyUR 105.1 FM, making it an accessible platform for listeners everywhere. This media center is led by former Y101 FM personality Jiggy Jr. and the dynamic Mashup King, Kuya Magik. Together, they are on a mission to redefine the media landscape in Cebu by providing a platform for local artists.
"TMC is a media hub for everything. It is not just a radio station, not just a podcast studio, or even a record label," said TMC personality Kuya Magik. "We are bringing the best of us, the Cebuanos, to the world."
This commitment to promoting local talent is evident in TMC's various programs, which nurture undiscovered artists and aim to create global stars.
Spotlighting Local Artists: A Global Vision
The mission of TMC extends beyond mere broadcasting. Jiggy Jr. emphasizes the importance of nurturing Cebuano and Visayan talents. "Our goal is to spot a global star through radio, social media, and other platforms," he states. This goal resonates with the growing demand for local content that connects with global audiences.
TMC also features an engaging website, which serves as a hub for news, entertainment, and music. In addition to its FM broadcasts, the center expands its reach through social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, allowing for dynamic interaction with audiences.

Innovative Performances: The 360-Degree Sessions
One of the standout features of TMC is its unique "360-degree Sessions." These sessions provide a stunning setting for artists to record music videos or perform live against the backdrop of Cebu City.
"TMC is also a venue for artists who want to elevate their music videos or live performances," shares Jiggy Jr. This innovative approach allows fans to experience intimate performances while enjoying the beauty of Cebu's skyline at night.
The Sky 360 serves as an extraordinary venue for these performances, creating an intimate atmosphere for fans to interact with their idols. With the breathtaking city lights of Cebu as a backdrop, these sessions promise unforgettable experiences for both artists and fans alike.
The TOPS Media Center is more than just a broadcast station; it is a transformative platform that aims to elevate Cebuano and Visayan talents to new heights. With its commitment to innovation, community engagement, and a focus on local artists, TMC is poised to become a cornerstone of Cebu's cultural landscape.

I have been so happy in my grey Kipling Gabbie bag that I took Eva's tip about an Amazon sale and bought a black one too. It has a grey lining which was quite startling at first, but it makes it much easier to find things against the lighter background.
Over the summer I have sold 6 more heavy leather bags, including my Mulberry Bayswater and Romilly. I have switched over to lighter bags such as my Uniqlo banana bag, my Kipling bag, and my Longchamp Le Pliage. I have some leather ones left, including my gorgeous Van Der Spek tote and smaller leather handbags. But I cannot see myself going back to heavy bags.
The ad for this bag had the fluffy monkey, but I was glad to see that it came with a rubber one. As always, my pink tassel gives my bag a personal touch. I love this tassel and have been using it for 4 years now. I don't know what I will do when it finally gives up the ghost.
