Wazzup Pilipinas!

Singapore Airlines continues to bring the best travel experience to their customers at exceptional value as they surprise us once again with so many travel packages and incentives that are too great to ignore.

Another milestone was achieved last February 5 during the launch of the SIA Showcase and Travel Fair 2015 held at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City. Not only did SIA share the privilege to preview and experience the exclusive Singapore Airlines Suites, but the airline's newest cabin class - Premium Economy Class and the airline's new concept SilverKris Lounge were on showcase, as well.

The SIA Showcase and Travel Fair, which will be open to the public from February 6 to 8, provides travelers access to Singapore Airlines and SilkAir’s exceptional all-in Business and Economy Class fares from Manila, Cebu, Davao and Kalibo to Singapore and various destinations around the world. Travelers may purchase their tickets at the Travel Fair from 6 – 8 February 2015 or at the Singapore Airlines and SilkAir Ticketing Offices and selected travel agencies until the 28th of February 2015.

Travel period is until the 31st of December 2015. The exceptional all-in fares are exclusive to BPI Credit Cardholders, Globe Platinum and Globe Blue customers, Glorietta, Ayala Center Cebu and Abreeza Mall Davao shoppers, and KrisFlyer members.

UP Alchemes Presents Chemical Engineering Students Summit Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Driven by the passion to serve others, UP ALCHEMES organizes Chemical Engineering Students Summit Philippines (ChESSPH) – an annual gathering of Filipino chemical engineering undergraduates in celebration of the country’s growth and excellence in the field of chemical engineering. In aim to spur the minds of these promising Filipino chemical engineers, professionals of the field are invited to share their experiences, providing the students an extensive view of the field, and inspiring them to contribute to the development of chemical engineering in the Philippines.

Now on its eighth year, ChESSPH continues to share knowledge, to inspire ideas, and to spark change in chemical engineering students nationwide. This year’s summit aims to strengthen its roots and to uphold its legacy through a series of seminars and activities tackling the current issues, trends, and innovations in chemical engineering.

ChESSPH becomes timeless as it strengthens its foundation through talks about what lies ahead and how to be a step closer to that; interactive workshops about the skills and knowledge one needs to be able to conquer the larger world; an outdoor learning exposure essential to future chemical engineers; an escape to test strategic thinking; and of course, a networking celebration to cap off the whole ChESSPH experience.

Propaganda: Revolutionary Art and Literature Aided by Technology at the Lopez Museum

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Myth-making may be the key element to what transpired during the yesteryears of war and election. It was a generation when outright fallacies are often promised to people hopeful for change to experience a life that is better. But wait! Who am I kidding? It is still the present day scenario. We are still in a time when man would do all in an attempt to overpower or redeem.

People revolt when the change they long for are forgotten or taken for granted. Most of the times our emotions overpower our logic. Our first impulse is to undermine our faulty government or leaders as if expecting they are faultless and know-it-all.

The past years were never free of anger and raging emotions. There would always be appalling incidents when man attacks his fellow man due to various inexplicable reasons, mostly trivial, lots of times inhuman, due to excessive greed or misguided passion. I hate to accept the glaring impressions that man is naturally barbaric.

The Propaganda exhibit happening from February 6  to May 30 at the Lopez Museum (located inside the Benpres building in Ortigas Center) showcases several images of, as what artist Nunelucio Alvarado keep saying during our tour, "Puro-paganda" - the days of our grandparents from a long time ago that still evokes similarities of the present day.
