AXN has delivered yet another stunning original production (OP) with the adrenaline-fueled The Amazing Race Asia Season 5. The highly anticipated series raced to the top during its premiere amongst all English general entertainment channels on Thursday, October 13 at 9pm, becoming the best performing English OP to premiere in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines this year.*

“AXN responded to a huge demand for the return of The Amazing Race Asia and we have delivered a series that has captivated audiences across the region. The journey our intrepid racers embark on is a rollercoaster of emotion: it’s stressful, dramatic, endearing and funny,” said Virginia Lim, Senior Vice President and Head of Content, Production and Marketing, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia. “We have a wonderful line-up of racers whose quirky personalities, diverse relationships and comedic antics make for a fantastic viewer experience. We are very encouraged by the initial performance and know that it will gather even more momentum as the series builds.”

“Asia’s Got Talent was a record-breaking OP for the broadcast industry last year so we are thrilled that AXN has out-performed itself yet again with the premiere of The Amazing Race Asia Season 5. AXN is truly Asia’s home of powerful, premium original productions,” said Virginia.

Filipino viewers embraced their national teams: married couple Eric & Rona and beauty queens Maggie & Parul, ensuring AXN clinched the number one spot in the series’ timeslot amongst 22 English general entertainment channels. 

No More Window Hours on EDSA? Have You Seen Any Violations?

"In the Philippines, when a window closes, another door opens." - James Deakin
What does sitting in an airport waiting for a flight for almost two days does? Well, for James Deakin, it means more time to post humorous stuff like memes on his Facebook wall so he could at least share some laughter to his friends and followers. Talk about somehow making wasted time a bit more productive.

I find it funny to be seeing posts that poke fun of the "No More Window Hours" traffic scheme of i-ACT led by the MMDA. It surely is somewhat funny to be so literal in the meaning of "window" and how it should not be allowed on the roads.

Filipinos are truly humorous by posting their own collection of photos where riders use their motorbikes to carry and transport almost everything possible. Like what most people are saying "If there's a wheel, you'll find a way" or something close to that effect. Lol!

Who wouldn't be impressed with these riders or back-riders for being able to balance on a motorbike almost everything they could think of. It is also quite baffling that they are getting away with it...or I wouldn't really know since I haven't seen any news about traffic enforcers stopping and giving tickets to such cases.

Levante: A Turning Point in Maserati's History


Wazzup Pilipinas!
"Sales of SUVs have surged over the past few years, but Maserati didn't have one to sell. Its portfolio consisted of luxury sedans, the Quattroporte and the Ghibli, and sumptuous GT cars like the GranTurismo. Now they have the Levante - Maserati's SUV."
The Maserati Levante was recently launched marking it a very historical moment as per statement of Wellington "Willy" Soong. Chair and President of Autostrada Motore Inc., during the night of October 12, 2016 when we personally witnessed these amazing vehicles proudly displayed at the Palace Pool Club in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig city.

Indeed, the Levante is a turning point in Maserati’s history." But it was a necessary turn.
"The Levante was conceived around three main pillars: design, exclusivity and performance, and it represents the optimum blend of these three elements in the SUV world."
Interviewing Willy, he revealed that the Maserati Levante costs around Php 8 to 9 million and upwards. What would make you buy a high-end SUV? Please do check out our video interview with him for his answer that we may agree or find debatable depending on our lifestyle, and also probably on how we perceive our precious moments here in this world. Do we really deserve to pamper ourselves with a very much rewarding luxury or do we need to spend our money for only the necessities?
