Loud and Proud to Present the Official Wazzup Pilipinas TV Jingle

 
Wazzup Pilipinas!

Just a few days before the May 2 pilot episode, we've finally completed the arrangement of the official Wazzup Pilipinas TV jingle. The night before the big fight of one of our great Filipino icons as he steps into the ring and fight against Floyd Mayweather, we are like Manny Pacquaio whose primary goal is to bring honor to our country, the Philippines.

Wazzup Pilipinas TV is proud to bring you the lyrics of the said jingle, with an additional rap lyrics at the end due to special request and to cater to the younger audience of this generation. The jingle will soon be incorporated in our official introductory video for the TV show.

The variety infotainment show aims to highlight Philippine events, destinations and lifestyle features that are of great interest to everyone especially the Filipinos. Hosted by the Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas, Ross Del Rosario, with the Philippine Barter King, Bart Abaya and the Common Sense Investor, Coach Dave Aguila, as co-hosts, Wazzup Pilipinas TV originated from one of the most popular, fast-rising and most awarded Filipino community blog WazzupPilipinas.com.

From its humble beginnings as a personal blog, to guestings on radio and TV shows, and now to having our own cool TV show on a primetime slot on national television at IBC 13 (every Saturday from 8 to 9 pm), WazzupPilipinas.com has dramatically leveled up beyond our wildest dreams. Who would have thought we would be reaching this moment in our lives when we can proudly shout out to the world that we have made it big time!

But our journey has just began. We believe that there are still more awesome achievements for us as we collaborate further with many outstanding partners towards greater glories.

We encourage you all to sing with us since this amazing song. This is for all of us!

Game-Changing Developments In Emerging Markets


Wazzup Pilipinas!

From customizable designs to pioneering smart home technology, the emerging markets are breaking new ground when it comes to property development. 

As the real estate sectors in Asia, Africa and Latin America mature, the level of innovation has also skyrocketed, with many developers seeking new ways to attract an increasingly discerning property buyer.

Global property portal Lamudi takes a closer look at seven game-changing residential developments in the emerging markets.


Green City - Colombia

Based in Soacha, a small city outside Bogotá, the Green City projects represent the present and future of the country’s real estate market. This is a great example of urban development: combining efficient technologies, smart spaces and a sense of community for residents. The project offers common areas like green spaces, playgrounds and more: a city within a city. 

Fun Time at the Beach of Tondaligan, Pangasinan


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Pangasinan's beach in Tondaligan will definitely confirm that the Philippines is truly a tropical country. Inspite of the fact that it’s crazy hot in here (especially now that it is summer time), Pangasinan has some beaches to help cool you down and forget about the sweaty 4 hour trip (improved with the access to a new road that shortened the usual 6 hour trip from Manila.

Tondaligan beach is just one of the lesser attractive beaches in Pangasinan. Yup! There's a lot of great beaches with white sands, great views and several other attractions, however most of them are just too far by road, and many would require you to travel by plane.

With grayish sands, and a not really fascinating view, it is good enough for the ordinary traveler who wants to dip into the waters to refresh himself from the summer heat. It is not a “must-see” destination whenever you happen to pass by Pangasinan since the Hundred Island beaches are more popular for the more picky and adventurous tourist.

But we were not exactly in Pangasinan for the beaches. We were there because we attended a family get-together with my mother's relatives, so the fairly satisfactory beach will have to do just to refresh us and feel the cool waters. The visit to the beach was just a side trip to treat our relatives who came with us to Pangasinan from Manila aboard our official transportation provider - Fox Travel Services.

Woven into Being by Kidlat de Guia at Galleria Duemila


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Galleria Duemila presents Woven into Being, a solo show by Kidlat de Guia. Equal parts patchwork and photography, the exhibition takes the form of fragmented photographic tapestry, which wields and merges craft and technology. 

Much like the tactile method of Kidlat de Guia’s practice as a filmmaker, the process in Woven into Being similarly entails cutting, splicing, and weaving, but this time of collected photographs from trips and fieldwork around the Philippines. Transforming the quotidian form of photographs, he manipulates strips of digital prints by either breaking the weave to expose nuances or to continuously overlay to keep something unseen. The outputs are rivetingly composite and texturized layers of photographic images that disclose an alternate reality. Evocative woven images of drivers and their beat up trucks, portraits of loved ones and the spaces they occupied pushes forward through that all memory is social. A saturated feel of human experience pervades in his images and seemingly attempts to structure and approximate the past, loss, hope, and memory.   

Kidlat de Guia completed a BA Broadcasting Communications degree at University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City, in 1998. He was the recipient of Award of Excellence at the Aqua Planet Video Festival in Japan in 2003. His works has been exhibited in the Philippines and Singapore. “Woven into Being” runs from May 9-30, 2015 at Galleria Duemila located at 210 Loring Street, 1300 Pasay City.

50 Years @ Pangasinan: A Double Birthday Celebration


Wazzup Pilipinas!

It was our uncle and aunt’s fiftieth birthday (and apparently also their wedding anniversary celebration - all falling on the month of April). We were supposed to visit them the previous week, but most of us were unavailable and so we decided to change the date. Now that the day has finally arrived, we woke up, grabbed our prepared stuff and left home. Having descended the stairwell of our building and left the village, we hopped aboard the van at around three in the morning. Bags were packed and seats were chosen by each family member. As we left the avenue and drove towards our rather distant first stop, Taguig - where our cousins were supposed to wait for us – we greeted our driver, Mr. Jun from Fox Travel Services - our transportation service, and exchanged introductions. While the rest of the family was talking, I was trying to regain a few more winks of sleep. Finally realizing that the bumpy road and noisy chatter lead me to inevitable failure, I finally gave up trying to sleep. The motion and inertia brought about by the vehicle weren’t helping either.

As we moved on, pointless chatter still went on and I was hopelessly trying to refrain from saying anything impolite. You know how grumpy a person can be without having enough sleep, right? My dad convinced me to transfer seats since according to him and his ego I could catch their “stupidity”, but I refused since if I did I would just become more vexed. With that in mind, I just transferred to the next seat, still in the same row at the back, and watched the passing surroundings through the window. I also checked the time on my phone every now and then.

After a few hours our cousin ate Jennifer, along with her companion, were the next ones to join the van. A few kilometres later, in our point of view were now our aunt and the rest of our cousins. The van was now packed with people, who were surprisingly cheerful even at such an early time of the day. My mom wanted my aunt to sit beside me near the back end of the van. With that, we went onwards to our real destination – to the province of Pangasinan.
