iAcademy Supports the National Bullying Prevention Month

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Being bullied, whether at school, or at the playground, or anywhere within your neighborhood by other children the same age as you could become a very traumatizing experience. Unconsciously, it creates an emotional burden in our personality that may somehow bring our confidence down, and what's worst is that we may take this inferiority complex with us all throughout our lives - at work, as we start a family, as we raise our kids, etc.,. Unknowingly, if you have experienced being bullied during your younger years, it might have forever stained or bruised you, admit it or not.

The effects are damaging and may become a lifetime of struggle. We should act quickly before our children suffer the same disturbance to an otherwise peaceful and productive life.

iAcademy is actively promoting an Anti-Bullying Campaign in support of the National Bullying Prevention Month of October.

Below is a video made by the students to help create awareness and support the Anti-Bullying Campaign.

Anne Curtis Smith is the Newest Product Endorser of Grand Videoke

Anne Curtis Smith is the Wow Group's newest endorser of Grand Videoke. Annebisyosa now titled as "grANNEdiosa" for being the new face of the videoke microphone formerly branded as Wow Magic Sing, which then changed its name to Wow Videoke and had product endorsers like Regine Velasquez (Asia's Songbird) and Charice Pempengco (International Singing Sensation) - and don't forget Willie Revillame as side endorser on his Wowowillie show.

Anne truly reflects most Filipinos who would be using the gadget that makes anybody sound like a pro because of its technology that somehow enhances your singing capability and helps you to comfortably and confidently sing with all your might. It's definitely a lot better than singing inside the bathroom.

We all know that Anne is not a professional singer, and she must have been playing around with gadgets like these before to practice, so everyone is assured that she will use the Grand Videoke to dramatically improve her singing prowess.

As what Andres V. Sanchez Jr., President of Wow Group, has said - they wanted a brand Ambassador that may not necessarily be a Soul Siren like Nina (I think he should have said Asia's Songbird like Regine Velasquez) or an International Singing Sensation like Charice Pempengco, but one who personalizes the "madlang people" and having a lot of followers in her TV, movie, and social media accounts is a big bonus.
