Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago: Stupid is Forever Book Launch On December 3


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ignorance is curable, stupidity is eternal.

Watch out stupid presidential wannabes. She has arrived! I'm referring to the book Stupid is Forever which is a compilation of jokes, one-liners, pick-up lines, comebacks and speeches delivered and/or curated by the senator who hates corrupt politicians.

Yes! We are talking about Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago. She is undeniably an icon in Philippine government already that the media pay closer attention to her than any other politician except of course for those who have current issues.

This is a great choice for a Christmas gift since the season of gift-giving is fast approaching. What better way to spread cheer and joyfulness but a gift of good laughter from a humorous personality who has been known to crack jokes during her talks may it be an inspirational message, a keynote or privilege speech, an interview, or a press conference.

Would you agree that stupidity is eternal?

I'm sure regardless if you agree or not, this will be a sure hit at the bookstores soon as it launches on December 3, 2014 at National Bookstore in Trinoma. Many will be curious to read the contents but a lot more would like to keep this as a collectors' item. After all, it's not everyday you read a book written by one of the most controversial politician in the Philippines.

The State of Real Estate in the Emerging Markets


Wazzup Pilipinas!

More than 60 percent of renters in a recent survey of online house-hunters cite cost constraints as the primary reason why they leased their home. The top of mind reason for Filipinos who choose not to buy property is "affordability."

Here are the key takeaways from the research:
  • Affordability emerged as the key reason why many Filipinos choose not to buy their own home
  • Nearly three-quarters of buyers cited security as their primary motivation for purchasing a home
  • Two-thirds of the real estate agent surveyed are expecting growth of 8% or higher in the property market this year. The country’s real estate market has emerged as one of the most promising in the Asia Pacific region
Global property website Lamudi recently released a survey report indicating the situation of real estate in the emerging markets. The report, Real Estate in the Emerging Markets, provides a comprehensive overview of the property sector in 16 emerging countries, including the Philippines.

Based on a series of online surveys conducted with house-hunters and real estate agents in each country, as well as onsite data from Lamudi’s global network of websites, the research examines the habits of online property-seekers, while offering insights into the future of the property sector based on interviews and surveys with local property experts.


Wushu World Champion Rene Catalan Enlists Help of Malaysian AJ Pyro


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Asian Games gold winner and Wushu world champion Rene Catalan has arguably one of the most impressive track records among all Filipino fighters.

Even though his mixed martial arts career has not gotten off to as smooth a start, he always put up a spirited performance. He may have fell to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Alex Silva and then had a controversial loss that was eventually reversed into a no contest against Khim Dima, he continues to rise up to prove his might.

On December 5, 2014 he now gets a chance to right the ship in Manila, as he finally gets to compete in his home country for the first time when he takes on Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke at ONE FC: WARRIOR’S WAY- the much awaited MMA big fight to be held at SM MOA Arena in Pasay City.

Enlisting the help of ONE FC Malaysian Featherweight Champion AJ Pyro, highly publicized last year as one of the first foreigners who went to Tacloban to help the victims, Rene Catalan aims to do great against his opponent.

Coach AJ Pyro, fresh from winning a ONE FC tilt in Kuala Lumpur, pledged his earnings to Yolanda’s victims. He arranged a visit in Tacloban, along with a team of 25 doctors, thru ONE FC.
