PPA Ready for the Holidays all the Way to the Chinese New Year


Wazzup Pilipinas!

With only five days to go before the Philippines celebrates Christmas and 12 days away from the New year, Philippine ports remain efficient and productive despite the influx of Christmas cargoes.

Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) General Manager Jay Daniel R. Santiago, however, continues to urge the cargo owners not to relax in the cargo withdrawals and continue to take advantage of the Truck Appointment and Booking System in order to have a very smooth turnaround time for the country’s foreign cargoes.

“Philippine ports, particularly our international gateways, will be in full commercial operations except for a couple of hours on Christmas and New Year’s Day because ships continue to come and go even during holidays,” Santiago explained.

“I am urging all cargo owners and other stakeholders to maintain their current operations in order to have a swift turnaround time for their cargoes and if possible send their exports bound for Chinese ports early to prevent any hold-up when celebrations for the Chinese New year kicks in,” Santiago said.

“The domestic ports are also replicating the procedures of the international ports in order to secure safe travel of passengers relative to Oplan Ligtas Biyahe: Christmas 2016 and at the same time guarantee just in time delivery of domestic goods,” Santiago added.

As of the moment, cargo utilization at the two main gateways of the Philippines—the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) and the Manila South Harbor (MSH)—remain very healthy at 60% or approximately 49,000 twenty-foot equivalent units inside the terminal ready to be withdrawn or exported. Yard productivity at the two ports also remains high with an average of 20-25 moves an hour.

Both terminals attribute the healthy yard utilization and productivity to the Truck Appointment and Booking System as well as the high storage penalty imposed by the Authority.

Cargo volume, on the other hand, is in the uptrend since the start of the 3rd quarter due to the run-up to Christmas by about 10% a month.

PPA has likewise maintained the tight security in the domestic ports since the All Saints Day celebration to ensure safety, security and comfort of passengers while inside the terminals.

“I reiterated to our port personnel to take all the necessary measures to reduce any inconvenience and to make sure that our ports are safe at all times,” Santiago said.

PPA has likewise assured importers, exporters and cargo owners that ports have enough capacity with the coming Chinese New Year wherein Chinese-owned firms shut down operations for a couple of days for the festivities.

OFWs Now Able to Provide Medicines to their Family Through Globe and RiteMed Partnership


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Globe Telecom’s International Business Group recently partnered with RiteMed Philippines, Inc. (RiteMED) to offer a service that allows overseas Filipinos to purchase RiteMED medicines while abroad and be able to deliver to their dependents in the Philippines.

“This is just one of our initiatives to show our customers that we are expanding beyond communications and on to relevant life services to empower and improve lives of Overseas Filipinos”, says Senior Vice President for International Business Group Nikko Acosta.

“RiteMED recognizes the dedication and sacrifices of our fellow Filipinos working abroad to serve their families here in our country. Our partnership with Globe will enable us to assist our kababayans to ensure that their families are well taken care of by providing safe and reliable access to affordable and high quality medicines,” adds Vincent Patrick Guerrero, General Manager of RiteMED.

Together with Globe International Business Group, RiteMED has created an avenue for Globe customers to have an easier access to the most trusted branded generic line of medicines for their families back home.

With this partnership, customers can easily call or approach a distributor’s agent, select the medicines from a catalog, fill out a physical order form and then pay in cash. Globe Distributors send order details through an interim Order Management System (OMS) wherein partner retailers receive the orders then call the Philippines’ recipients to validate the orders. They deliver the medicines and update the OMS. Upon delivery, customers are advised by the Distributor’s agent.

Globe is also gearing up for the launch of an online solution for this type of service. Soon, customers will be able to purchase RiteMED medicines directly using the online solution where they can pay using cash via agent or credit card. Partner retailers will call the recipients, deliver the medicines and update the online solution once orders have been received. Customers will be informed via SMS/Email upon delivery.

Aside from medical supplies, Globe provides international hotline support to overseas customers to ensure proper customer service is in place regardless of location. Customers can call Globe’s international hotline at 58036610 anytime to check on their order’s status.

“Through this first of its kind partnership, Globe customers can now enjoy the best operational assistance to deliver the brand’s connectivity services namely, the embedded SIM cards for laptops and tablets that work like data roaming through a Globe network,” stressed Nikko Acosta.

Fans will account for 50 percent of the vote, while all current players and a panel of basketball media will account for 25 percent each.

Globe Helps Rebuild Schools in Isabela


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Leading telecommunications company Globe Telecom has donated P1-million worth of construction materials to the Province of Isabela to help rebuild schools which were severely damaged by Super Typhoon Lawin last October.

The province identified specific materials such as marine plywood, galvanized iron roofing sheets, and umbrella roofing nails which are needed to replace school roofs ripped off by the strong winds.

“Although Isabela is already in the process of rebuilding, they still need support from the private sector due to the overwhelming extent of devastation. Realizing this, Globe decided to reach out to the provincial government as part of our commitment to nation-building,” said Robert Aquino, Globe Director for Sector Relations.

In the past, Globe also extended similar assistance to typhoon victims such as those affected by Super Typhoon Haiyan in Leyte, Cebu, and Aklan three years ago.

DOTr, RRCG Transport Open P2P Alabang - Ortigas Route in time for Holiday Rush


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Transportation Secretary Arthur P. Tugade led the launching of the new RRCG Transport P2P Bus Service Alabang – Ortigas route in Starmall Alabang this morning.

This initiative, which adds to the existing five (5) P2P routes operating in Metro Manila, aims to provide commuters with safe, reliable, convenient, and high quality public transport services that will reduce congestion along major thoroughfares, especially those coming from the south.

According to Secretary Tugade, the P2P is one of the many solutions that can help decongest roads if patronized by the public.

“This P2P will help alleviate traffic congestion if only people will cooperate and use it. I believe that a smoother flow of traffic will help us uplift the lives of our citizens,” he said.

Currently, the DOTr is supportive of ride-sharing services that offers public access to a cost-effective and quality transportation option that will encourage private car owners to leave their vehicles at home. 

BDO Brings Whole New Meaning to Gift-Giving with Junior Savers Account


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Nothing secures a child's future better and, at the same time, teaches them the value of saving than by gifting them with a BDO Junior Savers account this Christmas.

Children age 0-12 years old can open a BDO Junior Savers account and get a free BDO Junior Savers ID Card for as low as Php100.00 in initial deposit. On the other hand, kids from 7-12 years old may opt to get a BDO ATM Debit Card instead of a BDO Junior Savers ID Card.

To open a BDO Junior Savers account under the child's name, parents just need to go the nearest BDO branch and present copies (including the original copy for verification) of any of the following: passport; school ID signed by the principal or school head; or birth certificate issued by the local civil registry or the Philippine Statistics Authority.

For further details on the opening of a BDO Junior Savers account, interested parties may visit www.bdo.com.ph.

The video tells the story of a girl who goes about her every day wearing a Stormtrooper helmet that ultimately piques the curiosity of people around her. One day, she enters her classroom and is surprised that her whole class too was wearing the same helmets, showing her support. This then leads to the heartwarming reveal of the girl’s condition when she takes off her helmet to reveal the oxygen mask.

Beautifully demonstrating a child’s resilience and triumph over challenges, the video garnered praise from all over the world, especially from the Star Wars community of fans. Ultimately, the video was produced to raise awareness for the company’s partnership with the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).

Mocha Uson Appointed as MMFF Ambassadress


Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Grabeh talaga ang mga elitista ngayon. Lahat na lang negative. MMDA GM Tim Orbos asked for our help to push for the changes they made in MMFF. At hindi po ako nag dalawang isip na tumulong dahil malaki po ang pagbabagong ginawa nila kung saan ang mga quality movies ang isinama ngayong taon na ito. Meron mang mga involved na tao na hindi natin kapareho ng pananaw sa politika ngunit ako po ay pumayag tumulong bilang Ambassadress ng MMFF. Ngunit itong mga ibang mapanlait na elitista negative na naman ang tingin.

Sino ngayon ang sarado ang isip???
Minsan nakakainis lang talaga sa bansa natin. Tumutulong ka na nga ng walang bayad ang ilang kababayan pa natin ay negatibo pa." - Mocha Uson
Basta tayo mga kaDDS tuloy tuloy lang ang pagtulong natin sa pagbabago at maging aktibo tayo sa mga bagay na makakatulong sa ating bayan. MABUHAY TAYONG MGA ORDINARYONG PILIPINO!" - Mocha Uson

The Metro Manila Film Festival announced that Mocha Uson, a known supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte is the MMFF Ambassadress for this year.

The appointment of Mocha gained criticisms from the Netizens, especially to the Elite who don’t like the blogger entertainer.

But despite of the hate messages that she received on social media, Mocha is dedicated to do the task given to her to help the MMFF to promote its movies.

For the first time, MMFF ignored the big time movie makers to give way to the Indie (Independent) Film Makers.

The decision of the Metro Manila Film Festival 2016 became controversial after the movies that we traditionally watched every Christmas day didn’t make it to this year’s MMFF.

The organizers are nervous that cinemas would pull out the indie entries because of it’s unpopularity to the masses.

That’s why they need someone who has the influence to promote the unpopular but high quality movies in MMFF and that is Mocha Uson.

It’s undeniable that Mocha Uson may greatly help the MMFF to promote its movies to the masses because most of her fans on her 4 Million Likes Facebook fan pages come from the masses.

By using the influential Facebook page of Mocha, she can promote these high quality made MMFF movie entries this year for free.

She has also some connection with other Facebook pages which can help her in promoting the movies on social media.

Just like what happened to the movie Heneral Luna that got promoted by the Netizens on Social media, we can also do the same by promoting all the MMFF entries by the use of the internet.

She can really help the MMFF, but Mocha can’t do it alone, we must help her on her task to promote the entries on social media.

Forget your political beliefs and your hate for Mocha Uson, let’s try to bring back the high quality movies to the mainstream.

De Lima Warns vs Attempts to Undermine PHL History, Identity


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Sen. Leila M. de Lima warned against the reconstruction of the Philippine history and the national identity of the Filipino people by the so-called “agents of change” who want us to think and act contrary to the values and principles we fought hard for.

She also alluded to "authoritarian leaders who excel at manipulation" and who have been able "to prey on our fears and self-interests in order to divide and conquer us." 

Speaking at the Annual Conference on Cultural Diplomacy 2016 here, De Lima said there are some disturbing events in the past few months of the country’s political history that are being used to manipulate and decimate the national psyche and identity.

“One year ago, our country seemed well on its way to realizing these aspirations and ideals as embodied in the Preamble to our Constitution,” she said, referring to the year 2016 are “the year of interesting turns of events.”
“Never could I have foreseen the extent to which the very face and values of my country and my people could have changed in just 12 months, nor the disturbing direction we seem to be hurtling towards from here on,” she added.

De Lima noted the rash of vigilante-type killings in the first six months of the administration of Philippine President Duterte since his assumption in July. To date, about 6,095 people were reportedly killed in the government’s all-out war against drugs.

She also took issue at the apparent rush by the administration-dominated Congress to pass a law restoring the death penalty law purportedly to deter crimes in the country despite worldwide abolition of the capital punishment.

“That is the true horror of it all: we are fast becoming a nation where killing is seen as the solution to our problems. Not a solution; not the first or the last resort; but the solution,” she said.

“Clearly, the only real solution is to give them a carte blanche (blank card) authority to kill the suspects outright. That is our brand of justice these days. And the true horror is that some of our people will stand up and applaud this reality,” she added.

The former justice secretary also lambasted a hero’s burial given to the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, an administration’s move she said violated the Constitution which ensured that similar abuses will and should never happen again in the country’s history.

“That was baffling to us. How can we reconcile our political history thus far, with this act of honoring the one man who single-handedly brought on the darkest period of our post-colonial history?,” she said.

The neophyte senator also lashed out at the Duterte administration for continually dangling the declaration of martial law and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus to curb threats of drug-related reprisal and possible terrorist attacks.

“He and his men (are) preying on the people’s fears from so-called anticipated reprisals by those involved in the drug trade, or from terrorist attacks, or some other undefined threats that prey upon their feelings of insecurity,” she said.

“(They) are keeping the threat of a declaration of a state of national emergency, martial law and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus perpetually hanging above the Filipino’s heads, thus priming them for malleability for other extreme actions,” she added.

De Lima challenged the people that the year 2017 should be an opportunity to reclaim our national identity by resisting attempts to prey upon our marginalization and victimization by so-called “agents of change and champions of cause.”

“That is the challenge that we Filipinos face in 2017. We must find who we are. To know who we are is to trust who we are. We must define the identity of the Filipino. To know it is to recognize it in others; to recognize it is to feel revulsion when their lives are taken,” she added.

Ph to Take Global Center Stage on Miss Universe Coronation Night


Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Miss Universe Organization (MUO)’s lead partner in the Philippines, LCS Group Chairman Luis “Chavit” Singson, said that Filipinos should all be proud that the country will be in the global spotlight come January 30, 2017, as more than half-a-billion Miss Universe fans and supporters worldwide watch the live telecast of the 65th Miss Universe Competition’s Coronation Night.

“ Let us give ourselves a salute and a big round of applause that we have come this far – only a few weeks before the Coronation Night. Soon the country will take the global center stage, as more than half-a-billion Miss Universe fans and supporters watch the live shows in over 190 countries and territories in the entire world,” said Singson during the pageant’s official kickoff party held at the S Maison of Conrad Hotel in Pasay City.

Addressing the audience at the kickoff, LCS Group’s vice-chair and Miss Universe Host Committee chairperson Richelle Louise Singson-Michael gave her assurance that LCS and the other private sector partners, together with the Department of Tourism and the Miss Universe Organization, are doing their best to ensure the success of the 65th Miss Universe Competition.

“It only gets better from here. In behalf of my fellow Miss Universe Host Committee members, thank you for joining us in this amazing journey. I always tell the Miss Universe Organization that there is no better place to hold this pageant than here in the Philippines because we have got to be the biggest fans of Miss Universe,” she said.

Globe Bags The Asset Platinum Award for Excellence in Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility & Investor Relations Benchmarking

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Globe Telecom bagged the Platinum Award for Excellence in Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility and Investor Relations Benchmarking from The Asset, an integrated multi-media company serving the elite community of leading corporate and financial decision makers in Asia.

According to The Asset, the criteria used to assess the companies include a range of metrics of financial performance, which are also a proxy for gauging management acumen. But since the purpose of the awards is to recognize the importance of sustainable growth, companies are also evaluated according to the quality of their corporate governance, social responsibility, environmental responsibility and investor relations.

“The recognition inspires us to pursue our strategy of upholding high standards for corporate governance and to continue with our advocacy for fairness, accountability, transparency, integrity and excellence in order to strengthen our structures and processes. We are deeply honored to be recognized for our efforts in relation to governance, corporate social responsibility and investor relations,” said Marisalve Ciocson-Co, Globe Head for Legal Services and Compliance Officer.

Globe Telecom delivered a record performance in 2015, surpassing the company’s previous year’s record performance, as it posted new highs in service revenues, EBITDA, and earnings even in the face of intense industry competition. Registering broad-based data-driven growth across its key services, Globe solidified its leadership in the digital space by focusing on improving customer experience and by riding with the shift toward greater data consumption across all segments.

Globe also sustained its top line growth momentum for the first nine months of the year with consolidated service revenues of P89.1 billion, up 7% from the P83.4 billion recorded in the same period of 2015. The company’s effective efforts in providing market-relevant data offers, the best of breed solutions to cater to the evolving needs of its customers, backed by the significant improvements in its wireless and wired data networks, have paved the way for its continued success.

Scientific Fact: Women are More Attracted to Men with Facial Hair


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Science says it. Men with facial hair are more attractive. A study in the 70s and two more recent ones conducted by Neave and Shields in 2008 and Dixson and Brooks in 2013 all came up with the same conclusion:

Most women find men with a stubble or a five-o’clock shadow very, very attractive. Although the women’s perception of male attractiveness changed according to the amount and length of men’s facial hair, most women in the study found men with a moderate amount of facial hair to be the most attractive. Some women did prefer men with no facial hair, but to the majority, men with no facial hair were not very attractive and seemed the least likely romantic partners. Women perceived full bearded men to be aggressive, more mature and a bit too much to handle.

The study showed that, bottom line, facial hair matters. 8,250 women in the study who rated the physical attractiveness of men based on the amount or absence of hair on their faces can’t be wrong.

What do the study findings imply? Guys who want to get noticed and be more sexually appealing can surely benefit from some masculine stubble on their cheeks. Just by changing or adding facial hair, a guy could well attract the type of relationship partner he seeks.

For many men, however, the problem is more complicated than that. The reality is the amount of available facial hair varies from guy to guy. Some men have facial hair that grows in patches, some men have hair growth where they do not want them, and some men are so baby-faced, they hardly have any facial hair at all. The truth is facial hair growth pattern is largely controlled by one’s genes. Either you have virile hair growing on your face; have bald, patchy spots on your face; or have no facial hair at all.
