SUCs' Budget All-Time High, No Truth to VP's Claim

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Recognizing the strategic role of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in national development, the Aquino Administration has increased the budget of SUCs considerably, from PhP22.03 billion in 2011 to PhP42.28 billion in 2015, almost doubling the amount in five years.

Contrary to Vice President Jejomar Binay’s claim of only PhP809 million at his recently concluded "True SONA" in Cavite State University, the SUCs’ budget in 2014 was PhP35.93 billion. In the same year, the University of the Philippines (UP) System and Mindanao State University (MSU) received PhP9.37 billion and PhP1.97 billion respectively.

While it is true that there was a slight decrease in the UP System budget of PhP156 million in 2014, the UP System received the biggest Capital Outlay (CO) allocation in 2013 of PhP1.45 billion. Further, UP’s 2015 budget is at its highest so far at PhP13.14 billion with a CO of PhP4.6 billion.

MSU’s budget in 2014 on the other hand, dropped by PhP632.66 million from the previous year because its 2013 CO had reached an unprecedented PhP868.59 million.

Here's a supplement that has the natural way to enhance libido, sexual endurance and lick premature ejaculation, and also ideal for women with decreased sexual desire. All these without the headache side-effect.

Virile Max, the newest natural supplement in the market shown to enhance libido, sexual function and endurance, has been getting good feedback from many who have tried taking it.

The main indications for the supplement are to help enhance sexual potency in those with erectile dysfunction and premature or involuntary ejaculation. The effects though may be variable. Some respond optimally already to just one capsule two to three hours before intimacy—preferably on an empty stomach—while others may require two capsules, especially in those with diabetes.

Although primarily intended as a supplement for men, it may also be tried by women to enhance their sexual desire in those with depressed libidos already, particularly post-menopausal women, and in those who have diminished sexual arousal after multiple pregnancies and deliveries.

From the photo above, Ms. Rhea King, Product Manager at Trianon International, Inc. discusses the importance of using natural supplements like Virile Max to provide “intimacy boost”, which loving and committed couples can take to bring back the spice and joy during their intimate moments.

Her talk was during the Brandcast Media Day 2015 held last July 29, 2015 at The Lounge bar located in Tomas Morato Quezon City. The event gathered various tri-media practitioners in Metro Manila to discover new brands and services that caters to their specific beat and interest.

They also launched the H&L Mobile App, the first free magazine mobile app for doctors and healthcare professionals.

Facing their toughest test yet, Philippine Azkals skipper Phil Younghusband hopes the team can carry the momentum of the two early victories in the World Cup Qualifiers when they go up against powerhouse Uzbekistan on Sept. 8 at Philippine Sports Stadium.

The Azkals stunned Middle East powerhouse Bahrain, 2-1, at home, before blanking Yemen, 2-0, in Doha, Qatar last June 17 to gain a share of the lead with North Korea in Group H, considered as one of the toughest groups of the tournament that also serves as a qualifier for the 2019 Asian Cup in the UAE.

“We are in a good position after the two wins, but more importantly, we have some confidence going forward,” said Younghusband, the country's leading international scorer with 42 goals, who turned 28 last Monday.

“There are no easy games in this group. We know we would need to play better and work harder against Uzbekistan.”

The Azkals achieved their highest ranking of 124 last month but the Uzbeks are still ranked 49 notches higher at No. 75 by Fifa with some of their standouts playing in Russia.

The Internet is really filled with amazing video content that I no longer see my children watch the television. They are up there in their rooms busy with their tablets and watching videos on YouTube. They are among the digital natives who were born with easy access to superb gadgets and technologies.

During weekends, the only time they will go down to join us at the living room is when lunch or dinner is served, or when they feel their videos deserved to be watched in the bigger LED monitor of our Smart TV which allows them to watch YouTube on television too. The Smart TV is connected to the Internet via W-Fi connection and they can browse any web site with it.

I won that Smart TV at a raffle from one of the events that I attended a few days before Christmas so I consider it a gift from the heavens above. Howver, I still prefer watching on my laptop where I can multitask. I can easily check out any new information or news out there via my social media accounts or favorite news portals, and of course, videos from my favorite YouTube sensations. Consider that I am always one among the huge number of viewers that would always check out everything new they have to offer.

One of the newest YouTube sensation discoveries I encountered was this Lloyd Cafe Cadena character. I met him personally at the YouTube Fan Fest event held a few weeks ago at the Marriott Grand Ballroom but I've been watching his videos already even before that special day.

Frank: Mikey, who's Stan Kilig?
Mikey: Frank! It's Stanky leg!
Frank: Instant Kilig?
Mikey: Hay, Nako! I'll break your leg!
Frank: Break 'em?

The lines above is a short skit that Pinoy Boy and YouTube sensation Mikey Bustos added to his newest YouTube video upload called the Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) One Man Band/ A cappella/ Voice & Mouth Only. It's a conversation between Mikey and one of his fictional character played by himself. The new video now highlights again Mikey's other equally fabulous talent of mixing voices to create one magical piece. He created a one-man band performance to please our senses.

Mikey is like a mixologist here concocting the perfect Margarita! There's more to this video than just the primary ingredients of tequila and orange liqueur. The nine individuals (differentiated by uniquely designed caps) that you see on screen is composed of keyboard, bass drum, snare, bells, snap, wingman, synth 1, synth 2, snap and the lead, had an additional character named Frank to provide the comic input to an already amazing merging of voices and sound.

If you count all the characters, they make a perfect 10! Just like the recent event that I attended where a mixologist made a demo of his idea of a perfect Margarita, the popular party and bar drink was also made out of 8 other ingredients added to the tequila and orange liqueur. The end result was a perfect Margarita!

Kaspersky Lab Hosts Special Mission Impossible Rogue Nation Movie Screening

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We would like to thank Kaspersky Lab, especially Corporate Communications Manager for South East Asia Sanjeev Nair who flew all the way from Malaysia, just to give their media friends a special movie treat - Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation at the posh Director's Club of SM Megamall Fashion Hall.

I think Sanjeev is a geek too when he told us his favorite character in the movie was Benjie "the computer expert" Dunn (played by actor Simon Pegg) instead of Ethan "the action man" Hunt (played by Tom Cruise).

Most men will idolize the actor in the lead role, but nowadays geek is the new sexy. This is why men who can code and make apps will rule the world, and of course, hailed by most of the women of the universe!

The guys with the Dadbod are the real deal hunks of the 21st century! Those who find time playing video games, reading comics, gawking at cosplayers, collecting miniature sculptures of anime and retro toys, staying tuned to the latest episode of The Big Bang Theory and other geeky sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, techie, etc., TV series, and especially those attending the Geeks on a Beach tech confab in Boracay this August 20 to 21 are more than meets the eye, flab, belly, and comic con shirts.

Windows 10 is a very promising operating system update from Microsoft. I heard there are a lot of great features that would be very useful for us. I'm betting many Windows users have already updated or are about too since it's available for free.

I'm already scheduling our laptops at home for the same upgrade, and would be doing the same thing with my Windows smartphone.

Just hoping my Internet connection will cooperate soon,. There's a major ISP maintenance going on at our area so I would have to wait for a while before I could feel the power of Windows 10. I do hope my ISP shapes up real quick so I can now experience the newest OS from Microsoft.

Starmobile ENGAGE 10 Pro users can also take advantage of the newest features of the newest version of the OS. Go on and update your devices for free with Microsoft Windows 10 that is now available for download.

Here are the instructions:

26 Collaborators, over 20 places. This is hands down the biggest collaboration this group has ever been a part of. Thanks to Google for allowing such an epic collaborative adventure to be posted online.

Bogart the Explorer from Davao City, on his YouTube account with Paperbug TV, previously asked people to take a trip with their barkada, using Google to ask questions and to prominently display the question written on a piece of paper. The question should be about how Google Search helped them with the answers in pursuing their journey or trip anywhere in the Philippines. They asked to share with them the videos to qualify for a chance to be part of a big commercial.

This was the original announcement: "Mates, we’re working with Google to create their next commercial, and we want you to be a part of it! Just send to tripngbarkada@googlegroups.com a 2-min video of your barkada traveling or exploring somewhere you've never gone before, with a little help from Google Search. Make sure you show us on a piece of paper the place/question that you asked Google while on your trip. Send in your video by July 15, and if we like it, it’ll be in the next Google commercial. If we really, really, really like it, we will give you a special gift thanks to our friends at Google!"

Other important guidelines reiterated were: No nudity, profanity, violence, defamation of character, and to shoot horizontally. The videos must also meet the criteria of 40% Usage and relevance of Search, 30% Friends benefiting as a result of Google, and 30% Creativity and Fun.
