As a budding musician herself, VJ Ylona would love to interview her idols like Billie Eilish, Christina Aguilera, The Weeknd and Kanye West. "Mostly just to ask why they keep doing what they do and how they do it. And I am in absolute awe of their artistry," she explained.  

VJ Anton, a charming boy-next-door from Ateneo de Manila University, welcomes the opportunity to talk about his love for music as one of the newest MYX hosts. He is a former radio student jock who also joins the weekly podcast of his mom, bestselling author Rose Fres Fausto, on financial matters.

LJ Reyes Launches MAPP, The Smart Mommy App

They say two heads are better than one - and when it comes to motherhood, it seems

highly applicable.

This is why MAPP The Smart Mommy App Co-Founders LJ Reyes and Trix Clasara

decided to merge their ideas instead of competing against each other, to form one

super app with the end goal of helping other moms with conquering motherhood with

a tap!

But their story is not as common.

In fact, up until early 2018, LJ and Trix didn't even know one another except for the fact

that they knew each one had their own mom-friendly app.

In 2015, three months into becoming a new mom, Trix created Mommily - a mobile app

that helped moms find baby-friendly places in the city out of a personal need to go

around town with kids in tow. It went live on Mother's Day of 2015.

A year later, LJ, a seasoned actress and well known celebrity, was trying to find

practical ways to spend time with her son Aki now that he is growing up and needing

more activities to do outside the home. In September 2016, LJ launched the very first

version of MApp-The Smart Mommy App, a mobile app that listed kid-related products

and places to go to in the city.

And in October 2017, their paths crossed

Trix was on the verge of selling Mommily and its shares since she and her family have

moved out of the city and she felt it would be nearly impossible to operate the business

outside of Manila. Her first instinct? Sell it to her main competitor, LJ of MApp.

At the very first meeting, these two mompreneurs knew right away that nothing was going to get sold, and no one is buying. Instead, they decided to merge their mobile

apps to make one bigger, better mom and baby friendly app that every mom will

benefit from Apart from loving motherhood, LJ, now with two kids. Aki and Summer and Trix, also with two kids Illy and Aman, are both passionate about making motherhood accessible to ALL moms.

They want to advocate families spending time together outside the home not only

as offen as they can but with the least stress possible - which is why clean lines and user

friendly Ul were paramount in designing MApp.

They believe that this platform will not only help moms get around the city with ease but

that it will create a significant pulse in changing the way malls and establishments lay out their floor plans -making sure they provide ample facilities for moms and all parents especially those with young children.

MApp will be available to download for FREE on iOS and Android starting July 13.
