Joseph "Joe" Mauk : The Reverend Top Spinner Who Inspired All of Us

Wazzup Pilipinas!

One of the guest who provided some inspirational talk and entertainment during the 37th PMAP Awards was Reverend Joseph "Joe" Mauk, a missionary of sorts in the Philippines who has challenged the Guinness World Records for spinning the biggest top.

Joe spun several kinds of tops, big and small, colorful and plain, during his talk, and what he emphasized was that all of his tops has significant roles to play and should be deemed all equally important in the eyes of the Lord.

Even the simplest top, so dull and full of scratches, was actually the model of the biggest top they have fabricated to be able to beat the world record for the biggest top spun on record.

On March 10, 2012, Joe Mauk was injured when a gear on a winch exploded while attempting to spin the biggest top in the world for the Guinness World Record. He was hospitalized and had 2 inches of skull removed that was crushed by the gear.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Did I hear that right?

Senate President Franklin Drilon has proclaimed his intention to lead and promote to the members of  the Senate the abolition of the highly controversial Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or most commonly known as the "pork barrel" fund.

"I will lead the Senate in the abolition of the PDAF."

This warranted an applause from the majority, if not all of the audience, present during the 50th Annual Conference of the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) celebrating their golden year with a three-day event composed of many activities for the HR practitioner delegates sent by the many companies and organizations doing business in the Philippines.

The event was also graced by a lot of notable top and popular personalities from both government and private sectors.
