Sugarhigh: Good and Clean Teen Fun with the Newest Boy Group

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Teen pop never fails to put in a lot of "kilig" factor to the youth of today especially the young teenage girls who's probably also into anime, Glee TV series, and similar cutesy stuff composed of sugar, spice and everything else nice.

Undoubtedly, these are exciting times for teen pop. We see several young pop idol groups sprouting left and right. But who's complaining? Fans couldn’t be so happier! The more, the merrier!!

However, some groups just stand out among the rest and one of the very few is the newest boy teen pop group that's armed with disarming cuteness and the catchiest of songs - Sugarhigh, a quintet of charming personalities.

Sugarhigh, the newest boy group to make you fall in love, consists of Luis, Daniel, Carlos, Julius and Carl.

Let's start with Luis, the assured voice of the group, steady, talented and reliable at a young age. Daniel, who sings the hook, is all curly cuteness and is the R&B and soccer guy of the group. Meanwhile, Carlos is the low booming voice–tall, brooding, mysterious and is into drums and beat-boxing. Julius is the adorable chinito with a ready smile ready to greet everybody and an experienced model having worked at Hotdog commercials at a young age . Last but not the least is Carl who balances the group with his every guy attitude, is sporty and good looking of course.

Parang kinain niya rin ang sinabi niyang " In the field of women's rights. The right will always be right." Eh if that's what you believe in, dapat you should have filed a case against Vhong to straighten what you claim is right. Pero hindi eh, ang ginawa mo instead is , humingi ng pera kay Vhong at pinabugbog mo pa!!! Where is the "RIGHT" diyan? Mali ka na diyan girl..... at kung sa tingin mo ay rerespetuhin ka ng mga lalaki, I think you are wrong.

Who will respect a girl who invites a guy to come over to her place and drink wine and who knows what else happened......If you want to be respected, then act like somebody worth respecting!

If she's the victim, bakt hindi siya ang unang nag-react sa situation? Ano ba tayo.... patangahan lang?

Vhong Navarro previously revealed that Cedric Lee was one of the masterminds who orchestrated his mauling and eventual blotter at a police station where he was forced to admit a "rape" accussaton againts him.

On Cedric Lee's Facebook account (yet to be confirmed if true account), the boyfriend/husband of Vina Morales reveals the following statements:

"I’m not a CRIMINAL.

Ang napanood nimyong interview is planned by the station, para lumabas na walang kasalanan si Vhong.

He clearly had the intention to rape denise at that time, naawa kami kay denise kaya binugbog namin siya, wala kayong alam sa totoong nangyari kaya wag kayong mang husga agad. Mayayaman kami aanohin namin ang 1m? Wag kayo maniwala sa mga lumalabas sa media, malakas ang kapit niyan ni Vhong sa station kaya’t kaya niyang baguhin ang istorya with the help of media. Sana pakinggan niyo ang side namin.”

The Chemical Engineering Students Summit Philippines (ChESSPh) is an annual event conducted by the UP Academic League of Chemical Engineering Students (UP ALCHEMES). ChESSPh is an avenue for the great minds of aspiring young chemical engineers from all over the Philippines to interact and exchange ideas on the development of chemical engineering in the country. On February 7-9, 2014 UP ALCHEMES hosts its 7th Chemical Engineering Summit in University of the Philippines Diliman. In this three-day event full of exciting seminars and workshops, future chemical engineers are equipped with the knowledge they could to use to maybe someday pioneer a breakthrough in chemical engineering in the country.

Now on its seventh year, ChESSPh continues to foster an atmosphere for a wide exchange of ideas. This year, ChESSPh is themed “NEXUS: Embracing New Possibilities through Unified Perspectives” as it unlocks the door to many different opportunities in forming a distinct image of chemical engineering. ChESSPh aims to connect the different prospects of chemical engineering throughout the country to come up with a greater viewpoint of the field. The event promotes camaraderie among the chemical engineering youth as they innovate and develop chemical engineering technology in the Philippines.

In line with these goals, ChESSPh organizes value-adding seminars such as the chemical engineering colloquium, where students can envision the different paths to take in chemical engineering. A series of seminars tackles different topics such as innovations, idea generation, economics and the environment where students can see a different side of chemical engineering. A debate will take place for the students to voice out their opinion regarding issues in the field. Finally, a plant visit is organized for the students to observe the real life application of what they learn inside their classroom, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the chemical engineering operations. An acquaintance dinner and a culmination night tie all the excitement together in fun and camaraderie. Through these events, connections between delegates are strengthened as they converge towards a unified chemical engineering, leading to a bright future of chemical engineering in the Philippines.

Deniece Milinette Cornejo: Is She Vhong Navarro's Lady Victim or Villain?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Ang tagal ko na sa industriya, wala pa akong inagrabyado. Ginagawa ko ‘to kasi alam ko na pwedeng maulit ito. Kung sa akin nagawa ito, I’m sure sa mga maliliit na tao puwede nilang gawin. Pwedeng maulit ito," Vhong Navarro talking to Boy Abunda on "Buzz ng Bayan." - ABS-CBNnews

Sa exclusive interview ni Vhong Navarro sa "Buzz Ng Bayan," pinangalanan niya ang mga sangkot sa pang-aabusong sinapit niya.

Ang babaeng tinutukoy niya na pinuntahan niya sa condo unit nito ay nagngangalang Deniece Milinette Cornejo at ang isa sa mga nangbugbog sa kanya ay si Cedric Lee na diumano'y ex-husband ni Vina Morales. -Kapamilya Gold

GMA has also released a statement saying "This is to clarify that the complainant involved in the Vhong Navarro incident is not related to GMA Network Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon" because of a photo where Deniece captioned as " with my lolo rod of GMA7 with lolo atty. Gozum" as if meaning she is related to the big boss of GMA 7.
