Wazzup Pilipinas!

#AldubEBTamangPanahon breaks Twitter record with 39 M tweets. They claim that it's purely organic tweets and not manipulated, fabricated or bought tweets, even surpassing the World Cup (35M) and Superbowl (28M), while #AldubEBForLove followed at fourth with 25 Million tweets.

The Philippine Arena was filled to the rim as the Eat Bulaga Kalyeserye accidental loveteam of Alden and Yaya Dub, otherwise known as Maine Mendoza, originating from from the Juan for All, All for Juan segment of the noontime show breaks the record for the 24 hour tweet due to its phenomenal "kilig" factor that Filipinos find quite entertaining and an effective past time especially for the lonely hearts who find "love that conquers time and distance" as the most viral and trending topic.

Tickets were reported sold out a few says before the event scheduled on October 24, 2015. We were all laughing at the radio booth of Radyo Inquirer while we hold our Vigattin Radio show thinking that the reason why some of our invited guests couldn't make it was because they were either at the Philippine Arena or at home watching the Tamang Panahon concert of Eat Bulaga.

Shocking it may seem but the couple really had that magnetic and charming personalities that drawn in the masses. The Philippine public can't get over the excitement of yesterday's event as the timeline of our social media accounts continues to be a prominent news feed.

LTFRB Chairman's Tweet Causing Confusion About U-Hop's Accreditation Status

Wazzup Pilipinas!

An erroneous tweet from LTFRB Chairman's Twitter account (LTFRB_Chairman) is causing confusion about the status of Filipino transport service provider U-Hop's accreditation. 

The tweet was posted on October 23, at a time when we were enjoying our family staycation at one of the finest hotels in Manila. It directly says " Breaking News: LTFRB denies U-HOP's application as Transportation Network Company (TNC)." Though it meant to say the denial was only for the category of Transportation Network Company, people will misinterpret it as a denial for the company's accreditation. Clearly it is causing a lot of confusion for those who could not clearly discern the real meaning.

There was a tweet posted by the LTFRB Chairman Twitter account indicating that new Filipino-owned transport service provider U-Hop's accreditation was denied. However, if you read carefully the attached document on the tweet, it was not a decision but only aims to propose creating a new transport service category where U-Hop can fit. There is really no decision yet saying U-Hop was denied accreditation.

The suspicious fact about this tweet is why would the LTFRB Chairman, Atty. Winston Ginez, announce this on Twitter. To think that he highlighted it as a "BREAKING NEWS" with an obvious intent to get as many attention as possible. It is an urgent notification that he clearly wanted people to know the negative news about U-Hop. He should have the decency to inform U-Hop first to give them an opportunity to appeal for a reconsideration. 

Is there something fishy about all of this? Could there be more meaning about the delay in approving U-Hop's application?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The College Student Council of the College of Business in partnership with the college’s five academic organizations ( HRMS, JFINEX, JPIA, PJMA & TMS) will conduct the first “BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT WEEK 2015” on the 27th to 30th day of October. 

This event will serve as the major event of the council for this semester. This is a period of time of the academic year in which we showcase the College of Business and Management. Our theme for this years’ celebration is “Creating greater legacy, Building business beyond boundaries and Molding the Lasallian experience”. 

Our aim is that one day we’ll be working in the corporate world. We’d like to remind the whole college that as Lasallians, we want to leave a legacy which is to inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more. 

The purpose of the Business Involvement Month is to unite and connect all of the organizations under the College. Our hope is that the business students will begin to feel the real sense of belongingness and encourage interaction after experiencing the “Business Involvement Week 2015”.
