Wazzup Pilipinas!

Experience a weekend of everything that flies with your friends and family!

Don't miss the much-anticipated 20th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, happening on February 11-14, 2016 in Clark, Pampanga!

During this four-day fiesta, there will be exhibitions of different aviation disciplines, including aerobatics, skydiving, paragliding, remote control aircraft, and kite flying. Hot air balloons from the Philippines and other countries will fly high in the early morning, and illuminate the evenings.

More than just a spectator event, the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is a gathering of aviators from the Philippines and the world.

What began as a passion project has now evolved into the longest-running sports aviation event in Asia. The fiesta’s longtime objective is to instill discipline in participating young pilots so they can develop into safe aviators, as well as to impart a spirit volunteerism to the whole community.

The fiesta is an opportunity to share and exchange cultures and traditions with visiting pilots from all over the world. They are given a taste of Filipino hospitality and the fiesta spirit. We hope that their beautiful experience becomes the best advertising for Philippine tourism. We also encourage the visiting pilots to be contributors to chosen beneficiaries of the foundation.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

May ari ng Discover Boracay Hotel & Spa na Koreano tinanggihan na mag check in ang isang Sundalong Pinoy at sinabihang "“No Filipino! No Filipino! No Filipino!"

Below is the actual statements as grabbed from an account going viral over social media. You be the judge.

"Calling All Filipinos and the Government. At 10pm of January 1, 2016 I was refused to check-in and avail the VIP Lounge of Discover Boracay, an Airport Lounge in Kalibo International Airport that cost Php300 saying they only accept South Koreans. 

I am to avail of the service because my flight is at 5am going to Cebu. In photos below, I approached the lady Filipina Staff at the cashier where inquiries and payment are made. 

Me: Ms I'd like to use the VIP Lounge. 

Lady Staff: Naku sir sa ngayon sa mga Koreans lang po nila inooffer ang lounge. 

Me: Are you serious? Bakit sa kanila lang? 

Lady Staff: Korean po kasi ang may ari sir. 

Dome Cafe: Start The New Year Right With Sumptuous Dishes

Wazzup Pilipinas!

From starters to their hot kitchen specials and all the way to their cakes and drinks, Dome Cafe will surprise you of their sumptuous dishes.

Now on their 16th year this 2016, Dome Cafe currently has only one branch located at EDSA Shangri-La Mall but there are immediate plans to branch out as soon as they find a good location. It is actually their 2nd branch at that location since their first branch at the old Greenbelt location closed down due to unavoidable circumstances. 

Dome Cafe does not just offer good food and service, here yu get to taste the best quality food and drinks at reasonable prices alongside its superb service and quality interiors. For them, the customers are their top priority so they base their revisions based on customers' comments and suggestions. The feeling inside a Dome Cafe restaurant is like you're at your own second home away from your real home.

Although it's an Australian-based company, they offer exceptional varieties of food which they refer to as Dome-fied Filipino cuisines.  

Soon they will be launching their new menu so we are excited to wait for this new set of dishes to savor for the year 2016.

We recently visited Done Cafe to experience their all-time favorite dishes that remains superb in taste and value for our money.
