#RP69fanpic: Brian, Paolo, Sandro, Baste, Luis, Jake and Junjun

Wazzup Pilipinas!

These fascination with the sons of the politicians who ran for government positions this #Election2016 have gone way too far to obsessions leading to obscenity.

There's a hashtag now trending on Twitter namely #RP69fanfic that fantasizes with the said individuals like Brian Poe, Paolo Roxas, Sandro Marcos, Baste Duterte, Jake Ejercito, and even Junjun Binay. They may want to add Luis Hontiveros.

But it seems the real target is Sandro Marcos most probably due to the recount issue he and his father Bongbong Marcos has been crying out against a possible cheating on the vote counting.

We've seen Vice Presidential candidate Leni Robredo now overtaking Bongbong Marcos with hundreds of thousands of votes starting early morning and the Marcos camp is seriously considering to file a protest against reported discrepancies especially on the errors made displaying some counts on another candidate Chiz Escudero who is also running for the same Vice Presidential position.

Conspiracy theories have been going around and those loyal to BBM can't help but voice out their concerns on social media.

But what sparked the #RP69fanfic thread on Twitter that motivated many others to follow? We can't say if these fan fiction stories are coming form the creative imaginations of the youth or of a particular sex among the LGBT community since the stories revolve around gay sexual relationships.

Alodia Gosiengfiao May Soon Have a TV Show at TV5

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Cosplay celebrity Alodia Gosiengfiao, together with her mom Mariglor Arraiza and sister Ashley, just had an awesome meeting earlier with TV5 executives namely Artist Center Head Director Bebong Munoz, Sports Head Coach Chot Reyes, VP and Head of D5 Studio Mr. Lloyd Manaloto, and asks her fans

"If for example.... We come up with a show... What kind of shows do you wanna see? (Fanta Serye? X-Men ish? Action? Drama? Comedy? Jap Gameshow ish? Gaming?)"

Of course, lots of suggestion from her fans came pouring in non-stop which focused mainly on her gaming and cosplay icon background. Below are just some of the hundreds of suggestions given by her numerous followers who were all hoping for a reply from the queen of cosplay.

"Gamer girl, that slips in and out reality by daydreaming about how to answer everyday problems with correlation with, anime, gaming world and game show like style. Para magamit cosplay and acting prowess of cosplayers." - Benedict Villanueva

"Maybe a magazine show focusing on all sorts of Gaming (board, esports, console) with the touch of anime and cosplay. That would SUGOIIIII" - Philip Mejorada

"Jap Gameshow-ish where contestants hav to wear anime/game costumes.. xD" - Julian Yu

"Horror/sci-fi/escapist anthology series ala The Twilight Zone. That would give a lot of cosplay possibilities and use it for good effect too." - Justine Dreco

"I wanna see you on drama shows.. cosplay and superhero games stuff is so common to you, so.. I wanna see diff side of Alodia Gosiengfiao smile emoticon and not speaking English pure Tagalog smile emoticon goodluck smile emoticon" - Se Yun

" I recommend a travel show. If you want, I can recommend "HKT48 no Odekake" or Jounetsu Tairiku na Pinoy version."- Vol Ventura

TV5 may not be the top mainstream network but they embrace concepts and ideas other station wouldn't even touch. As what another fan said, I believe they should bring back the Animega concept in primetime. That was one of their leverages back when they were starting the channel.


My kids are fans of anime and they can't get enough of it.

I've known Alodia ever since she was still cosplaying Ragnarok characters popularized by the Level Up games company which I was a part of as Systems Administrator back when it was starting to be a hit among Filipino online gamers specifically on the MMORPG. The role-playing games was a sensation back then and Alodia was the leading cosplayer whom male gamers adored and even dreamed of since she is a real beauty.

Now that Alodia is taken already by no other than Eric Ejercito, a grandson of Erap himself, and also involve din the world of gaming and cosplay, the fandom heat continues to burn.

First-ever #TwitterElection Showcases the People Power of the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!
The people made over 35 million elections-related Tweets since the start of the year, with over 4 million Tweets sent on Election Day alone.

After three months of watching, hearing, and talking about the political candidates, the Filipino public has cast its vote and has elected a new set of government officials in the national and local levels. But what marked the difference for the election this year is the higher level of inclusiveness Filipinos enjoyed through the country’s first-ever #TwitterElection. Engaging the first-time voters who are heavy social media users, or one-third (17 million) of the country’s 50 million registered voters, is critically important for any candidate to win the election. And the people’s voices have been heard on Twitter with over 35 million elections-related Tweets sent since the start of the year, of which over 4 million Tweets came on Election Day (May 9th) alone.

There was global interest in the Philippines general election and this was reflected in the #TwitterElectionconversation, too. When you zoom out on the heatmap below, you can see the elections-related conversations on Twitter over the past 30 days from all over the world - from the US to UK to Europe to the Middle East to Asia Pacific - including Tweets from many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). For example, the three #PiliPinasDebates2016 Presidential TV debates generated Twitter conversations worldwide, nearly 5 million Tweets combined, with the last one on April 24, 2016 shown on the heatmap.
