Wazzup Pilipinas Original Short Stories Series: Against All Odds

Wazzup Pilipinas!

All of us have our dirty little secrets. And that should only exist between ourselves, but what if our secrets are meant to be revealed? What if it is better when it is known? What should you do? Will you resist and hide it still? Now read this story of a close friend of mine.

Hi, my name is Francois Collins, doctor, and I met a guy named Thomas Austin, a very professional and kind companion. I met him when he was still working here. I never knew that he hides something that will shock the world, interesting right? He lived a tragic life and I salute him for making his life worth living. He managed to tell me his whole life by sending a mail to me in the exact date of his death.

His parents both died when he is still young, his mother died while delivering his younger sister Shaiya and his father committed suicide after knowing his mother’s death. No one from their family took care of them so they suffer the fate of being an orphan. They stayed there in 5 years, they leaved the orphanage when a rich couple adopted both of them, and he was only 7 years old while Shaiya is 5 when that happened.

CMANC Showcases Improved Buses and Jeepneys at 5th PIMS

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Columbian Manufacturing Corporation (CMANC) has the Filipino passenger in mind. Tinkering on that Pinoy piece of tincan, teh company sets its goal ... to improve the look and performance of a well-know historical icon, the all-time king of the road - the Jeepney!

They now have made it available also in air-conditioned varieties for the convenience of the passengers.

Also, being the exclusive distributor of Daewoo buses, they have also showcased the Newly Designed Commuter Vehicles proudly made in the Philippines, and at the 5th Philippine International Motor Show, they displayed the buses in retro design bringing us back to the Love Bus era.

To give Filipinos a better alternative, CMANC takes the lead in improving the Filipino commuters travel experience. The improved commuter vehicles  will set a new standard in public transportation, offering better quality mass transportation for the Filipinos instead of suffering from the pollution caused by smoke, dust and sweat caused by non-airconditioned vehicles.

The MRT and LRT are still the fastest way to get to a destination but the congestion inside the trains offer a lot of inconveniences. Better to be late but feeling still keeping fresh, motivated and energized.

e-Blog Mo Na Yan! Episode September 20: Laughter on Air with the Comedy Cartel

Wazzup Pilipians!

Last Saturday's episode of e-Blog Mo Na Yan!, a segment in the Vigattin Radio show of Radyo Inquirer DZIQ 990 AM in partnership with Elison Barcelo of Vigattin and Ross Del Rosario of Wazzup Pilipinas brought you some of the members of the pioneers in Point-of-View Stand-Up Comedy featuring Rene Cruz Jr. and Juan Miguel "Migs" Alejandrino. We also had guest blogger Alain Yambot-Alejandrino, a blogger of migsandalaine.blogspot.com and wife of Migs.

As usual, Den Macaranas and Arne Barcelo, resident broadcasters of Vigattin Radio where there to interview our guests with Wazzup Pilipinas founder Ross Del Rosario. Vigattin CEO Elison Barcelo was also nearby providing technical and moral support...hehehe

Breaking away from the technical aspects after an interview with the weather expert, the members of Comedy Cartel brought some humor a day after the Metro Manila flooding. Most of our countrymen in Manila and nearby areas where all submerged in flood waters due to the surprising bad weather so the guesting of the Comedy Cartel was a much needed break from all the seriousness.
