About Yoshinoya.
Yoshinoya was born in 1899 under the ingenuity of its founder, a Japanese, named Eikichi Matsuda, Our story begins at Nihonbashi, a humble first market in Chuo-Ku, Tokyo, on the outskirts of Edo Castle where Mr. Matsuda created a delicious recipe of beef and rice known as Gyudon (Beef bowl). Named for his birthplace of Yoshino-Cho, Osaka, Mr. Matsuda’s restaurant featured delicious, affordable and fast meals. It’s was an entirely new concept in Japanese culture, and both the hard-working fisherman and market visitors embraced it. Yoshinoya was an instant hit. In 1923, Japan was hit by the Great Kanto Earthquake and Yoshinoya had to move to tsukiji with the rest of the fish market and throngs of hungry patrons continued to enjoy Yoshinoya’s original gyudon, or Beef Bowl.

In 1946, Mizuho Matsuda, son of Eikichi Matsuda, turned the business into a 24-hour restaurant and rapidly gained wide spread popularity in Japan. In 1958 it became a corporate company operating on a chain store system. Yoshinoya boasts of more than 100 years of tradition. Yoshonoya has grown to be one of the most important brands in Japan and boasts of more than 1,000 outlets, making it one of the biggest fast-food chains in Japan. To date, there are more than 1,200 outlets around the world, namely
Japan, USA, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines. Soon, it will open in Thailand and Vietnam as part of its expansion program in the Asian region.

Yet, when Bec takes a job assisting Kate,Kate sees something special in the way Bec takes care of her. Kate and Becfind each other’s  strength through their weaknesses. You're Not You explores how two strangers can bring out the best in each other even in the midst of trials and tribulations.  This movie also gives face to the much talked about ALS and will definitely make people more compassionate with victim of the said disease.

WHAT IS ALS?

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease, and rarely Charcot disease—is a neurodegenerative disorderwith various causes. The term motor neurone disease (MND) is sometimes used interchangeably with ALS while others use it to refer to a group of similar conditions that include ALS.  ALS is characterised by muscle spasticity, rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle wasting. This results in difficulty speaking, swallowing, and breathing. The disease usually starts around the age of 60, except in cases that are directly inherited when the usual age of onset is around 50.
About 5 to 10% of cases are directly inherited from a person's parents. ALS is the most common of the five types of motor neuron disease.
The average survival from onset to death is three to four years.  Only 4% survive longer than 10 years, although rare cases survive 50 years or more. Most die from respiratory failure. In much of the world rates of ALS are unknown. In Europe the disease affects about 2.2 people per 100,000 per year. In the United States, more than 5,600 are diagnosed every year, and up to 30,000 Americans are currently affected. ALS is responsible for 2 deaths per 100,000 people per year.
Descriptions of the disease date back to at least 1824 by Charles Bell. In 1869 the connection between the symptoms and the underlying neurological problems were first described by Jean-Martin Charcot who in 1874 began using the term amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It became well known in the United States when it affected a famous baseball player by the name of Lou Gehrig, and later when the ice bucket challenge became popular in 2014.

 Amateur singing contests was Klarisse playground and training ground.

As if it was destined, she has passed every screening for the Voice and coincidentally got her former rival Sarah G as coach " Sabi nya ( Sarah Geronimo ) sa akin, 'Nauna lang ako. Andito ako para dalhin ka sa panahon mo ( To become big ),' The battles were tough but the 22 year old belter managed to finish strong and bagged secong place, And this time, she was just more fired up to finally make her dreams come true.

' The Climb' and ' Slowly') and the original theme for the teleserye Mirabella ("Sabihin Mo Sa Akin') she also added 3 original songs in the mix. Her debut single, "Di Kayang Pilitin'- written by Klarisse herself, is way different from her usual contest pieces - less birit, and more soul.
