PNP Chief Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa Awarded with Gusi Peace Prize


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Not too many individuals get to be honorably acknowledged on their accomplishments. With so many of us either competing, aiming and wanting to get recognition, not everyone would become equally as successful as the rest of us. We have to admit that somehow "luck" has something to do with it. Being at the right place, at the right time, or knowing the right people, can take us to greater heights more conveniently.

PNP Chief Ronald Bato Dela Rosa was recently awarded with the Gusi Peace Prize during the awards night held on November 23, 2016 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).

This man is surprisingly so popular nowadays that it is quite overwhelming to find out he is one of the awardees among many international delegates. There was a total of 14 individuals that received the valued Guzi Peace Prize, of which was received in the past years by the likes of Noar Aunor, Lea Salonga and other Pinoy celebrities. Known popularly as Bato or the Rock or Stone, the PNP Chief projects toughness while being a bit wacky at times especially during the early days as PNP Chief since the administration of Rodrigo Duterte appointed him into position.

There was even a mascot and doll resembling his image, and I've seen him get invited to beauty pageant finals like the Miss Earth 2016 as one of the judges, and too bad I missed his much-awaited press conference at Kamuning Bakery.

Bear Brand's Laki sa Tibay Project Inspires the Youth with Positive Values


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Many of us probably grew up with Bear Brand as one of our favorite drinks. The familiar blue can with a bear as its identifying symbol or "mascot" may be one of the most recognizable image we see. Though we took a different brand of infant milk, we immediately shifted to the Bear Brand as soon as we reached the age when we now start walking straighter with less falling down on the floor.

Now, on its 10th year, Bear Brand Powdered Milk Drink relaunched its long-running nutrition education advocacy from the Laki sa Gatas to Laki sa Tibay as proof of the brand's commitment to continue strengthening the Tibay of Filipino children, towards achieving their ambitions.

For Bear Brand, Tibay is facing life's challenges by having strength of body, mind and will,achieved through a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition, with everyday milk drinking at the center.

Through the launch of Laki sa Tibay in 2016, Bear Brand aims to reach more public schools per year to engage more teachers, parents, and school children on the role that Tibay plays for them to achieve their ambitions. Since 2006, the campaign has reached almost 4 million children, 3 million parents, and 168, 000 teachers.


I was witness to one of the school visits when Bear Brand went to the E. Delos Santos Elementary School to make some children happy, give away from freebies, hold games, and entertain them with two wacky personalities trying their best to keep the interest of the children.

The organizers gave them a tumbler that can be uniquely designed as there are removable paper and some crayons inside. This is where you can draw and be creative. Although it was intended for children, the lessons shared could also be highly useful even for adults. The moment could serve as motivational perks for children who actively listened and appreciated the effort.

The children were very eager to participate in the activities, including their drawing of what they want to be in the future. and were hyper in their reactions and appreciation of the entertainment. They were highly engaged with the activities especially on the games or challenges that they joined.


We would like to thank Bear Brand for this notable advocacy as they also donated around 50 chairs made from a combination of Bear Brand laminates and fresh resin. The same chairs will be distributed to 50 public schools in 3rd to 5th class municipalities. A total of 643 grams of Bear Brand laminates or 321 pieces of Bear Brand 33g laminates can be upcycled to make one Tibay Chair. Upcycling is the process of transforming waste materials, unwanted or useless products, into something new that is with better quality of for better environmental value.





Bear Brand also donated some books containing inspirational and valued stories that children will love to learn about great moral values and other learning that would shape our children's lives into becoming better members of society.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Some say that nothing in this world is perfect, but the undeniable allure of Tanduay’s newest calendar girl for 2017 definitely comes close. Let us introduce and mesmerize you with the newest face of Tanduay – the gorgeous Ellen Adarna!"

Tanduay just never makes any mistake in choosing their Calendar Girl, and like how the other liquor has chosen Ellen Adarna to become their Calendar Girl, many men, and even women, would approve that this lady does have the looks to flaunt proudly while everyone else is in awe.

Ellen was so stunning in her dress on the night of the big reveal, and though I already knew a few hours before that she would be the chosen one, my anticipation was still overwhelming that I specifically encouraged my blogger friend to quickly position ourselves in the front facing the stage so we would have a great view of how awesome Ellen Adarna would walk on the mini catwalk shaped like a giant letter T.

I even asked somebody to get out of our way when he positioned himself infront of us carrying a huge video camera and tripod as if he plans to setup there. Lol! That is how I was so eager to get the best view so my photos and videos would be among the best.

The big bonus was when Ellen Adarna joined me on a video message together as she invites the public to watch out for the 2017 Tanduay calendar.

The largest sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship (ONE), held an MMA seminar at Evolve Far East Square early Wednesday, 7 December. Singaporean pop sensation Nathan Hartono stepped onto the mats to stand across ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion Angela “Unstoppable” Lee.

The 20-year-old Lee is the youngest world champion in MMA history. She is undefeated at six wins and no losses, capturing the title last May. Lee took the time to perform a few essential mixed martial arts (MMA) drills with Hartono, including educating the singer on proper striking techniques and the basic self-defense.

Last November, Hartono made an appearance at ONE: DEFENDING HONOR, gracing the stage with a live performance as well as being tasked to sing the Singaporean national anthem just moments before the main event bout of the evening.

Angela Lee, ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion, stated: “Nathan is a cool dude, he really tried his best in all of the drills we had him do. It was definitely interesting to see someone who has no background in MMA perform some of the basics. I had a lot of fun and I hope Nathan did too. It was an honor for me to meet such a big star in Asia. Nathan, if you ever want to come back to Evolve to train, the door is open for you!”

Gift Ideas For All Occasions: Peking Duck Ham and Pinoy Pork Ham Delivered Right to Your Doorstep


Wazzup Pilipinas!

In 2005, while observing local ducks raised by relatives in Nueva Ecija, the owner of True Deli Cafe thought of how many varieties of poultry and meat have become estranged from the Manilenyo palate. “Not entirely their fault,” she thought, as very little of these flavorful Filipino delicacies ever reach the city shops. The scarcity gave rise to unfamiliarity which created the gustatory indifference which exists today.

Challenged by this realization, the owner began to experiment with duck to come up with a product to bridge the unfamiliar with something familiar: Duck Ham, which became an overnight commercial success. With supply in hand, she tackled distribution: a deli-restaurant she called True Deli Cafe.

True Deli Cafe, a casual dining restaurant that serves regional dishes highlighting the diversity of local flavors, has some great gift ideas for the holiday season. They are offering hams delivered right to your doorsteps. The hams are made available for delivery so we can enjoy True Deli's creations in our own home.

We were fortunate enough to get our hands, and taste buds, on these delicious smoked ham treats - Pinoy Pork Ham and Peking Duck Ham.

But these are not your ordinary hams that you can buy from your favorite supermarket or grocery. They are only available exclusive at True Deli Cafe which is located at GMA-Kamuning EDSA just beside the MRT. It's literally right beside and connected at the southbound side of the MRT. To be specific, the address is Upper Ground Floor, Victoria Station 1. 5 Sergeant Esguerra Avenue, South Triangle, Quezon City.
