Court of Appeals Has Declared The Fort as Part of Makati City

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"The Court of Appeals has declared portions of Fort Bonifacio, including the upscale locale of Bonifacio Global City, all in all a total of 729 hectare, as being part of Makati City and not Taguig City.

This sort of ends a 20-year legal battle that started during congressional debates over Makati’s cityhood.

The CA’s Sixth Division ordered the Taguig City government to “cease and desist” from exercising jurisdiction over several areas within Fort Bonifacio, which were earlier declared part of its territory.

I'm sure this decision will be tried and tested in the Supreme Court - the last resort by means of law.

Also, Makati taxes are higher than Taguig. This might have some implications for those who are situated in the Fort.

Anne Curtis and Martin Nievera Sings Without You

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Anne Curtis and Martin Nievera impressed a lot of followers recently as we bear witness to an interesting music video collaboration between the two popular celebrities.

We all know that Martin Nievera is no doubt a master in singing but Anne Curtis is still more appropriately called "Annebisyosa" for a reason.

But this music video is making a lot of people think twice now that we saw a much improved It's Showtime host doing even a rap segment in the video....sent shivers down my spine.... but I finally was able to catch my breath when she successfully ended it beautifully. Are we going to see more rapping from Anne soon?

All I can say is that it was AnneMazing! The arrangement was awesome. I really loved it. The project was good for both Martin Nievera and Anne Curtis. It was indeed a nice tandem and collaboration. Kudos to the people responsible in bringing the two together in a sensational duet.

Nancy Binay Proposing a Bill Against Internet Memes

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Whoah!I'm not sure if she wants to impress (being a newbie and all) or she wants to molest to get back on her detractors when she was running for a Senate seat, but this newly elected Senator is probably after the same people who made Senator Vicente "Tito" Sotto's days like a living hell when the Senator was bombarded with criticisms of many forms. One of them was with a great number of memes all making a laughing stock out of the politician.

Memes, according to Wikipedia is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture." A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures. Meanwhile, the Oxford Dictionaries, are humorous images, videos, or pieces of text that are copied and spread rapidly by Internet users.

Newly-elected Senator Nancy Binay’s proposed bill amending Republic Act 9262 may contain provisions aimed to criminalize humorous internet memes.
