Mayweather Versus Pacquiao Live Streaming

Wazzup Pilipinas!
Do you want to watch the ultimate fight of the decade via free online live streaming. Watching the fight over national TV would be such a drag since you'll only get to see the fight unfold several rounds delayed. Everyone else would have been celebrating already the triumph, or defeat, of their boxing hero while you're still watching the 5th round.

This dilemma happens when you don't get access to live streaming channels over the Internet. You get to see who won after several hours because of the numerous advertisement being flashed on screen. A long list of TVCs are bound to conquer majority of the airtime and will be squeezed in-between the fight rounds. The commercials will be longer than the fight itself. A terrible waste of time. We can't rejoice, or sob, in real time.

Thus we would appreciate so much every time we get an opportunity to watch via live streaming, especially when you got the link for free. Thanks to a friend or colleague, or someone over the social media networks who wants to share, or brag, his discovery.

I've been always Manny Pacquiao's fights thru different live streaming sites, and I never fail to feel proud of myself because I would always get it for free. No fees, nothing in exchange, thanks to some generous peeps online who are generous enough to share their finds. Thank you also to some site administrators for opening these opportunities for free.

Below is a working live streaming link of the big fight. If ever, it may need some media player upgrades or requirements. Anyway, there's bound to be undercard fights before the main event so we'll have plenty of time to set everything up before the big one.

Due to unforeseen requirements of MTRCB to review first the initial four (4) episodes of the show before airing on TV, we would have to reschedule the showing of the pilot episode to a later date until MTRCB comes back to us with the go signal.

Sorry for the delay as we were unaware of that particular process (Nah! We just wanted to give all the limelight to the fight of the century - Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. Lol!). Kidding aside, this requirement will force us to finish all four initial episodes so we could submit it to MTRCB for checking. When MTRCB gets back to us with the GO signal, that's the only time we can finalize a date for the pilot episode. We will update you when the final date will be as soon as we hear from MTRCB who is also requiring us to pay some fees for the process.

As for now, we proudly present to you our Wazzup Pilipinas TV teaser video.

Please see link to the teaser video of Wazzup Pilipinas. To all organizations where we serve as media partners kindly have this played during your event and also share the YouTube link on your respective Facebook pages and online sites acknowledging us as your media partner.

Meet the New Selfie: Why Dubsmash is a Hit for Pinoys

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Pinoys love to follow the trending fads especially when its going viral. Everyone seems to wanna take part of the crazy and wild antics, and are always challenged to outdo everyone else. Thus, these cool gimmicks really become global - a worldwide sensation so hot that you'll be extremely eager to join in if you don't want to be left behind.

Dubsmash, a digital app that lets you create a short video dubbed with different sounds, is undoubtedly a phenomenal hype that has gone international fame. It is a video messaging application for iOS and Android officially launched last November 2014.

The Dubsmash mania is still going strong especially in the Philippines where Pinoy netizens have easy access to the Internet via affordable smartphones, cheap data connections and free wi-fi Internet access at coffee shops, malls, and many other places where wi-fi access became a must to attract customers and keep them coming back even if it means prolonged stay.

An establishment with plenty of people looks a lot better than no people hanging out. It makes your place look really cool and busy. We've seen ourselves being drawn to places where there's a crowd because we would assume that it is highly patronize because of its good products and services.

Just like any other craze before it, Dubsmash became huge when celebrities joined the bandwagon. The Philippines is no exception to the very addicting app that allows you to give some smiles to your viewers.

Top Six Locations for Island Living: Buy a Piece of Paradise

Wazzup Pilipinas!
Who hasn’t dreamt of escaping to a desert island, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life? For beach loving house-hunters, and investors looking for something off the beaten track or in emerging tourist destinations, there is an abundance of land available in paradisal locations.

Global real estate company Lamudi has compiled a list of the top six plots, currently for sale in unique areas around the world, for your very own slice of island living.

Private island lot in Aborlan, the Philippines

Beautiful, white sand beaches, coral reefs for diving and snorkeling, and stunning views of the mainland mountain range - a piece of this could be yours with this 180,000 square meter lot. Located in the province of Palawan, Aborlan lies almost 70 kilometers south of Puerto Princesa City.

It is expected that many businesses will be capitalizing on the popularity of the event. The most anticipated match between the Pambansang Kamao ng Pilipinas, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. on the morning of May 3 Philippine time had so much support from both public and businesses that we are so sure that the financial rewards are of the organizers and other stakeholders humongous.

It's the fight we all wanted to happen! What was so amusing was it happened during the month of May when the summer weather is scorching hot. This is after all the hottest event to happen during this month. Pacman would always make time stand still whenever he has a fight. As if the whole world would drop whatever it is they are doing just to catch a glimpse of the fight.

I will be among the many people around the world who will be watching the fight as it happens. It is just annoying that the Filipino people would rarely have the same eagerness and enthusiasm for other more important campaigns towards better goals like saving the environment, or better yet, saving a life.

I once watched an old movie where they said most people would only change for the better when they are in the brink of a disaster, life-threatening situation or something similar. We would only motivate or persuade ourselves to improve when we encounter a grave situation where we have no better choice.

"Soooo a lot of newspaper...s are getting flak for having an erroneous Mary Jane Veloso headline.

Newspapers won't give you breaking news stories (as if that wasn't obvious enough). Most newspapers are complete by the afternoon or evening of the day prior to it being sold. First edition papers are printed in the wee hours of the morning and the reprieve didn't happen until, probably, the same time. It's regular practice to print and distribute what was news at the time of printing. It could be said that they could have made a plan B for it, and that's true (I guess that's what Manila Bulletin did). However, the update could also be included in the later editions. The medium isn't the most 'editable', so please, let's not crucify newspapers for their "wrong headline".

p.s. Kayo na, Manila Bulletin!!" - Erika Pascua

Newspapers cannot give you breaking news, or headlines, since they would require time to print the papers to make it for tomorrow's daily distribution. In cases like an event happening at a time out of printing hours, it will really be very hard to keep the headline accurate.

This is why it is understandable that one broadsheet had an erroneous headline. They may have shared false news but thanks to online media, we were able to spread the correct news before majority of the Filipino woke up the morning after the supposed to be execution.

There were some newspapers that made considerable efforts to give a more updated headline even if it meant reprinting the headline, distributing batches with different headlines, and wasting a few pages. The cost of ink and paper were negligible - all for the sake of accuracy and reliability.

Mary Jane Veloso's reprieve was great news for all Filipinos, but sadly the 8 others on the list to be executed now have grieving relatives. Not everyone were saved. But we were glad a fellow Filipino was granted an extension to life.

But we are not here to talk about Mary Jane Veloso, but about how timely it is to discuss whether the printed paper is still a reliable source of news and information.

Picture this: It’s a warm, sunny day, the ideal weather to go to the beach. The water that spans the horizon is of a blue-green gradient. The fine white sand creeps between your toes and not a patch of seaweed litters the beach.

You close your eyes and take it all in: the sights, the sounds, the sensation, and the scents of beautiful, pristine nature.

It’s a perfect day to go a special place where you can escape all the pressures and worries of life. You run as fast as your feet can take you to the infinite pool of crystalline water. The refreshing seawater takes your breath away as your mind floats peacefully with the waves. And once you’ve had your fun, you drift back to shore, to your spot under a palm tree. Here you are, here you can be yourself.

On April 27 - 30 2015, the Student Coordinating Council of FEU Institute of Technology had its annual technology festival (Techno Fest) at the FEU Tech Student Plaza and a big concert(iTamNight) tonight, April 30.

Queerspotting: A Safe Space to Break Free

Wazzup Pilipinas!

“Lesbians are short-haired plaid-wearing abused-as-kids atheists who hate men.”

This kind of accusation has already been so used and abused so much that we don’t even know how to begin deconstructing it. For one, not all lesbians are short-haired. There are those who wear skirts, dresses, and don high heels. Sexuality isn’t a matter of what one’s religion is. In fact, queer women subscribe to different religions, whether or not they choose to believe in one.

Lesbian, bisexual, queer, pansexual, asexual, transgender – there’s a whole spectrum of sexual orientation and gender identity for every woman. It’s a matter of respecting how one identifies as, and who prefers whom.

Name calling is just a small part of the different struggles that LGBTQ people have faced in years. While the Philippines has been touted as a “gay-friendly” country, tolerance just isn’t enough.

Let’s break free from such stereotypes, shall we?
