Bumangon Ka : Yolanda Song From Jograd deLa Torre

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"This was a real labour of love between GRN MANGO and activist singer/comedian Jograd dela Torre, who shows his serious side in an impassioned manner that will surely resonate with the millions of Filipinos who have had enough with the status quo and are bent on positive change. It was filmed in just half a day outside of an abandoned, half burnt down building on the outskirts of Makati, which was made to look like it was in the heart of Tacloban." - Our Awesome Planet

Well, it's not really pleasing to the eyes. I hate to see a pitiful scenario where you can't help but feel so depressed and numb.

It is with great sorrow that many of our fellowmen had to die and suffer from the calamity that could have been prevented if only .....

Yeah! Let's start blaming somebody for the tragedy. Let's put all the blame to our so called leaders. We've been doing that since day zero....and I guess we will continue to do that regardless who is seated in the Malacanan Palace.

We believe there is no leader that can fully give the solution to our problems. Just like the elusive world peace. No wonder its been the most wished for in every beauty pageant - if asked.

Filipino Hospitality at Its Best! : A Million Thanks from the Filipino People

Wazzup Pilipinas!

A repost of Filipino Hospitality at its best!

"After serving as volunteer paramedics, doctors and nurses for the last 10 days down in Roxas City, eating biscuits and vacuum sealed food made 3 years ago (no lie) the least we thought we could do when we chanced upon these guys in Villamor was take them out to a traditional Filipino dinner. 

So we booked a great place in Makati and ordered crispy pata, adobo, pinakbet, empanada, tinapa fried rice, kilawin, shrimp with taba ng talangka and other specialties before they fly out tomorrow morning. 

But when our friends from Chevrolet Philippines (TCCI) heard about what we were going to do after what they had done for our country, they insisted on picking up the tab. 

Thanks, guys. That was totally unexpected, but highly appreciated! Also, despite already checking in, Remington Hotel extended a retroactive 40% discount on their room rate, while Resorts World Manila threw in breakfast and lunch. 

Now that’s what I call Filipino hospitality. Salamat ulit. The UN thanks you. We salute you." - James Deakin

The institutional grant for GK was pulled together by Tattoo, Globe Telecom’s mobile and home broadband brand.
