Superbook Cartoon Series Now in Tagalog

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Muling balikan ang pakikipagsapalaran nila Chris at Joy kasama si Gizmo!"

I knew it was about to happen. I think it's every great cartoon's destiny to be dubbed in Tagalog to reach a wider audience in the Philippines. The message will be clearly understood by the masses if its spoken in the Filipino language.

Superbook is indeed a cartoon that is worth sharing to our countrymen because it evangelizes great moral values that will surely mold our kids to become better members of our society. The stories in the Superbook cartoon series promotes good conduct that is essential for our children to grow up as model citizens.

Be sure to get ready for another journey as we welcome another season in Superbook dubbed in Filipino. CBN Asia, producer of the long-running inspirational weeknight TV program, The 700 Club Asia, started broadcasting the most-loved Superbook Reimagined Season 1 in Tagalog last October 5, 2013 on GMA. With Superbook in Tagalog on TV, more children can share the excitement and relive the greatest adventures ever told!

After seven years of being named the "Sexiest Woman Alive", Scarlett Johansson has once again been chosen for the sexiest title by Esquire magazine.

Esquire magazine is a one-stop shop for lifestyle advice – cars, culture, grooming, gadgets, food, fashion and more – and a showcase for brilliant journalism and photography. Esquire is intelligent, irreverent and unapologetically masculine.

Scarlett Johansson was named Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive" for 2013! This makes her the first woman to get the honor twice.

Scarlett, as beautiful and sexy as she is, is really quite common for many who are used to the blonde-next- door-neighbor beauties. She would not turn many a head on any street (where blonds are familiar) anywhere. I can never quite understand the view that the "world's sexiest" are American film stars. But I guess its what appeals to the readership. Check out Bollywood... or the natural beauties on any street in Italy or France or Czech Republic, or Ukraine or... even the Philippines!

"Roses are red,
violets are blue.
it's called Catching Fire,
not Hunger Games 2"

Katniss Everdeen has returned home safely after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts.

Along the way, Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever.
Watch the sequel to the blockbuster film The Hunger Games now subtitled with Catching Fire as The Great Events Plus Phil. Inc., brings us a special blocked screening on November 22, 2013 at the Shang-CinePlex at EDSA Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City.

Infographics were made to ease our lives. The easy-to-comprehend graphical guides were designed to give us a quick and fun way to go through almost anything meant to inform, educate, assist, instruct, persuade, influence, and everything else in between, above and beyond.

I think there's an infographic for everything out there especially if its too complex or lengthy for our little brains to grasps. The attention and retention span of most of us simply just needs a little more encouragement with the use of the straight-to-your-face infographics.

An infographic has been created about the mobile app of jobsDB Philippines to help educate their members and other job seekers on how to use it.Right now it’s available in different OS specifically Android and iOS.

jobsDB.com Philippines is your online portal for jobs here in the Philippines and abroad. Find jobs that suit you from different job categories in Marketing, Engineering, Nursing, IT, Design, Call Center, Accounting, including factory jobs, drivers, and many others.

The 12th Filipino Franchising Show boasts of more than 30, 000 visitors and 300 exhibitors who took part in the featured products and services from various regions of the country. Most of the booths at the show were impressive and really caught our attention. I believe that one would easily become successful in attracting potential franchisers if the business owners know how to capture the interest of the people by coing out with eye-catching store facades.

The event also had a lot of franchising investment opportunities in food, retail and services. There were also scheduled demonstrations, seminars, and training sessions for the attendees.

Bringing to the fore AFFI’s commitment to uplifting the country’s micro small medium enterprise, the franchise show attracted prospective entrepreneurs who would like to partake of what is now dubbed as the “sunshine industry”.

More businessmen will mean a better economy for the country and more investors both locala nd foreign to partner with.

Posted here are just some of the companies that participated in the 12th Filipino Franchising Show.

Bakit pag lalaki ang bumibirit tinatawag ng noise? Pero pag babae ang bumirit..."Wow, ang galing, ang taas ng boses!" Di ba nakakaumay din yung mga babaeng mahilig bunirit? Ingay din yun!!!!

This is what I don't like about text voting or online voting. Basta may celfone na, makakaboto na maski tone deaf siya. The real people who can tell which singer deserves to win are the judges themselves. They know their craft. And who benefited through these text/online voting?...Di ba the ang Globe, Smart, Sun, etc.,...including the TV station? Hay naku, parang scam din ito. Each of them gets a piece of the cake!! Pera na naman ng mga kababayan, HARD EARN!!!

Ang labanan ngayon ay paramihan na ng boto at hindi na pagalingan ng boses. Mas maraming bumoto sa kanya kaya tanggapin natin ang nakakaraming bumoto sa kanya.

Sayang lang po kasi yung premyo dahil hindi napunta sa totoong The Voice of the Philippines. Yun bang maipagmamalaki na mula sa VST & Co hanggang Rey Valera hanggang Martin Nievera hanggang South Border hanggang Richard Poon ay kaya kantahin... Yan sana ang The Voice dapat kaya lahat. Kaso natuwa na kayo sa Air Supply?

"Last two days ago, I had the exchange of opinion with Teddy Locsin on Twitter, I never thought that our exchange of tweets will end up in a newspaper article.. This guy is so bigot and homophobic!!" - Rev. Ceejay "Same Sex Marriage" Agbayani

Uhhmmm....I am not surprised by the arrogance, though according to sources, the cited prohibition against abusive language only applies to court proceedings and pleadings. There is no jurisprudence on social media yet, although this would be a good test case.

Teddy Locsin is irresponsible to say and use "gay" word to derogatory remarks. This guy must be stopped!Most definitely he needs to be stopped. He must be EXPOSED and make everyone from the LGBT community have the advocacy to either silence him and completely remove him from what he thinks is his power to influence people. Take HITLER and his propaganda back then - NEVER FORGET the history of such mentality.

Indeed! The LGBTs (We) have to assert our being! Irresponsible use of words like "faggot" and "f**k you" must face the consequence. Lawyer pa man din siya, journalist pa kung tutuusin!

He is a public figure ffs! It behooves him to exercise good judgement in his language at all times.
