PNoy Says to the Youth: Books First Before Facebook and Clash of Clans


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Political matters muna bago celebrity weddings and TV guestings. Inuna muna sana ang mga SAF44 Fallen Heroes instead of going to a car plant visit.

Tama naman po ang payo mo Mr. President pero sana din may mga books na mabubuklat ang mga estudyante para basahin..pero sad to say. ...kulang-kulang po ang mga books sa public schools kasi yung budget ay nasa bulsa ng tiwaling pulitiko.

Excuse Me! Hindi na po uso ang pagbabasa ng libro dahil may Google na po. It knows (has) almost everything! Madali at mas maraming makukuhang information from different sources at less time consuming and work dahil we don't need to spend hours in the library or to photocopy certain portions of the book just to do research.

We also use Facebook to keep in touch and for group efforts. Since everyone has a Facebook account, it is easier to organize and keep ourselves updated and informed instead of SMS, email, call or actual meet-ups.

Ang library din ngayon ay parang museum na. It now exist just to preserve our culture. Once in a while we get to visit and open some new books.

You Will Never Become Better If You Are Always Bitter


Wazzup Pilipinas!

There's been some photos circulating on social media regarding two uncanny lovers of the same gender. Though many are remarking it was unfair since the guy was surprisingly good-looking and his partner was shockingly a member of the LGBT community.

Many are asking where is the justice in this world? The so-called Asian-European gay couple was so lovey-dovey sweetly holding hands and some photos even portray them kissing each other. The too much display of affection didn't made others jealous but the mere fact that a couple like this could exist.

It is very rare that you see such a tandem. People judge, people become bitter, people keep on questioning how was it possible.

Some would not accept the reality that a guy or gay can be lucky. Who knows? Maybe the tall guy is also a fag! Not to undermine the LGBT community but people who fall in love with the same sex usually have questionable sexualities as well.

Gramatically Incorrect, Passionately Imperfect


Wazzup Pilipinas!

There are unintentional typos that ruin a good article but many have been using word plays, beki lingos, Jejemon style of writing and a lot more purposely designed to bring out humor for the amusement of the readers, but what is really annoying is reading an article that was meant to be serious but you just couldn't stop laughing because of the horrible English grammar.

But no one could probably say they don't make mistakes and they are always grammatically correct. However, repeated occurrences were supposed to humiliate people that are not literate enough to share and error-free writing piece. 

Some people should be able to discern they lack the skill to write fluent English so they should instead "Tagalized" or mix the language to come up with exhaustingly kolehiyala "Taglish" as an alternative. It's forgiven if they still make a mistake at least there are several reasons to explain why.

You might want to suggest they just write in the vernacular, or Tagalog for Metro Manilenos and the likes of Bisaya or Pangalatoc for those belonging to their appropriate region. Not that I am fully aware of the differences, but it beats trying hard to express using a language you are obviously finding difficulty in writing.

Eh Di Wow! Wazzup Pilipinas at Tech Island 2.0


Wazzup Pilipinas!

I should have said Eh Di Wow! when the event hosts asked me for three words that best describes my expectations of the event. Instead I uttered, with the last word delayed for several minutes, "Online Business ..... Master."

It was the Tech Island 2.0 event of PLDT SME Nation held at Ocean Adventure in Subic, and said to be the biggest compared to the first, and boasted as the biggest tech event ever. The event was for two days, but the organizers arranged the presscon on the second day where "Mastering the Digital Wave was the focus tech talks and activities. Day 1 was all about Transformational Leadership in the Digital Era where a different set of speakers the likes of Rappler's Maria Ressa, PLDT's Napoleon Nazareno, Archbishop Tagle, and others shared their thoughts and inspirational stories. The second day was more for the tech gurus like Ideaspace's Earl Valencia, foodpanda's Mauro Cochieri, AGSX's Winston Damarillo and IDCs Roger Ling.

The bragging rights was probably based on the number of business owner participants who joined the event. A lot are now interested in implementing online and technology-based strategies in their business. A lot are starting to embrace the power of the Internet - blogs, social media, mobile apps, and just about everything else you can find online.

Yup, stage fright got the best of me when I was asked beyond introducing my name and organization. However, the opportunity to mention WazzupPilipinas.com infront of more than a thousand spectators was already worth the bother to try to win a smartphone - the tempting prize to participate in the game.

I still believe I gave the best answer but it seems the female specie always has the advantage of winning, or in this case, being chosen, among male competitors, by a majority of men that compose the audience.

The Life Imprisonment Sentence of Janet Lim - Napoles


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Sayang wala ng death penalty like lethal injection, electrocution or hanging in the Philippines. Janet Lim - Napoles deserves a more severe penalty than staying in prison comfortably because of her influence and affluence.

We all know the stories of rich convicts serving their sentences in luxury and comfort, others have surprisingly been going in and out of prison with permission from corrupt prison authorities, and some have even run for offices and won.

Well, we all know not all who are in prison may be guilty. Many are said to be innocent because they lack the financing to continue fighting for justice and their innocence. But we hear more stories of the guilty able to continue with their criminal operations even in prison. With access to entertainment, communication, and technology, and more.

Napoles seems unfazed when the verdict was read. It is so obvious that she was already aware of the end result. I'm betting they would only allow some years to pass, to let the people forget, and a pardon or early release will take place, after all have been paid and bribed.

Ang Buhay ng Blogger ay Para Daw Milk Tea Poisoning


Wazzup Pilipinas!

The life of a blogger is similar to the recent milk tea scare due to a rumored cyanide inclusion in a certain milk tea brand which left two dead (a customer and the milk tea shop owner) and another customer taken to the hospital. Thank goodness the third one survived but unfortunately lost the love of his life being the other customer was his girlfriend.

They say when there's a blogger rumored to be committing ill-natured activities, everyone else in the blogging community is affected. The same with what happened with the milk tea business. Everyone else got too afraid of drinking milk teas regardless of the brand and origin. May it be a local or a respected foreign brand. The milk tea business obviously suffered just because of an isolated incident.

When a certain blogger rants against a company for their foul products or services, the other bloggers are looked upon negatively as well by other companies fearing they may get the same treatment from other bloggers who find their company in error. Other bloggers who support the company may retaliate as well, especially the ones under the company's regular invites during product promotions and events.

Many are talking about blogging etiquettes, but very few tells you exactly how to do it. What is hilarious is, when these supposed to be sentinels of justice's sponsor companies commit similar irregularities that are equally unappealing for the masses. You don't hear them complaining because they are practically under their "payroll."

Artistang Artlets Presents Munti: An Adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s Le Petit Prince


Wazzup Pilipinas!

 “What is essential is invisible to the eye”

Artistang Artlets, the Official Theater Guild of the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the University of Santo Tomas, on its 34th Season, proudly presents:“Munti: An Adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s Le Petit Prince” by Alyanna Paula C. Veloso, a modern day theatrical adaptation of an inspiring novel based on a young boy’s adventure in discovering the absolute truth within the inner self and looking beneath the surface in order to find beauty.

Everything is not what it seems. Sometimes it is not enough to just look at the surface. You need to exceed boundaries and understand things from different perspectives. 

The story will feature a child's journey where he met different individuals and learned to find the meaning of life through simple things. It will show what someone can sacrifice for his happiness at the same time, for the greater good.

Munti will be directed by Klea Dale S. Lloren and produced by Jennie Ver M. Gabon. This will be staged from May 4 and 5, 2015, with the time slots 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 7pm at the Tan Yan Kee Auditorium, Tan Yan Kee Building, University of Santo Tomas.

An Interview With One Championship's Ben Askren


Wazzup Pilipinas!

ONE Championship continues on its rapid expansion next Friday, as Manila plays host to one of the biggest sporting events this year. ONE: VALOR OF CHAMPIONS will feature ONE Welterweight Ben Askren defending his title for the first time against Luis Santos.

We sat down with Ben Askren ahead of his upcoming title defense to ask him some questions running through our heads before the big fight night on April 24.

We asked him what he thinks the people have to look forward to in his match with Santos, and he said his match will be the same as Suzuki’s. Santos' ground game will be a little bit better but not that much. He is confident he will take Santos down, pound him out, and have his hands raised and the belt wrapped around his waist.

When asked if he thinks Santos has anything new or more difficult to bring to the table, Asken believes there won't be anything new he can't handle. Even though he has 70 fights, Asken believes he is the one who brings something new to the table because he has a skillset that is unique that no one can really give him the feel of in practice. "So even with 70 fights, Santos is gonna have a tough time dealing with me" says Askren.

The Ultimate Nokia Sale Part 2


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Due to overwhelming public demand, Techbox Philippines will hold a second ‘Ultimate Nokia Sale’ on April 16-18 at 2299 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati city.

About a month ago, Techbox Philippines offered a Nokia Sale where up to 80% discounts were offered to the public. Smartphones ranging from entry level to the sophisticated Lumias and Android handsets from Nokia were made available at an incredible low price, much to the public’s delight. Over 3000 Nokia handsets were sold on the last Nokia Sale, with thousands of people lining up to get their hands on the offerings. 

“We thought it was the last hurrah – the final chance for Nokia enthusiasts to get smartphones with the Nokia brand on them, before Microsoft floods the market with their own handsets” said Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines. “But after the sale, we were totally blown away by the compelling number of people who said they wished they didn’t miss their chance to get their Nokia phones. There were also a lot who knew of others who also wanted Nokias but for some reason weren’t able to come to our sale on those dates. The requests were just overwhelming,” added Angela.

WD Scales Up Surveillance-Class Hard Drive Line


Wazzup Pilipinas!

New WD Purple NV 3.5-inch drives equipped for NVR Surveillance-system Environments

WD, a Western Digital company and storage industry leader, today introduced WD Purple NV, a purpose-built line of 3.5-inch, high-capacity 4 TB and 6 TB hard drives for the greater demands of scalable network video recorder (NVR) surveillance systems. 

Compared with standard WD Purple drives, the new member of the WD’s surveillance video recording family of drives, WD Purple NV, is designed for larger-scale network surveillance systems utilizing higher hard drive bay counts and greater numbers of attached cameras, which demand increased storage capacity and durability. The new drives’ high capacities also enable long video retention periods for analysis and reference. WD Purple NV is also designed to withstand the demands of always-on digital NVR recording environments. It offers low power consumption and many advanced performance features typically reserved for higher end surveillance storage.

“The global video surveillance market is expanding with the increased accessibility to easy-to-use systems for small businesses and municipalities,” said Matt Rutledge, senior vice president of HDD marketing at WD. “WD optimized the WD Purple NV line of hard drives for NVR digital surveillance systems to improve high-definition video playback for high-camera-count applications. NVR surveillance systems can produce incredible amounts of data which makes the WD Purple NV hard drives a perfect solution for NVR systems needing high quality recording and playback and high capacity storage.”
