The largest sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship (ONE), brought the packed crowd at the Changsha Stadium to the edge of their seats with spectacular world-class mixed martial arts action at ONE WUJIE: DYNASTY OF CHAMPIONS (CHANGSHA). Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes showcased why he is ONE Championship’s most dominant champion to date with a beautiful submission victory by Kimura over top Filipino bantamweight Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon in the night’s main event.

In the main event of the evening, ONE Bantamweight World Champion Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes retained his title with a first round submission win over Team Lakay’s Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon. Fernandes nullified Belingon’s supposed striking advantage by going straight for the takedown. After passing Belingon’s guard and moving into side control, Fernandes worked an armbar attempt into a Kimura, forcing the tap.

In the Changsha Bantamweight Tournament Final bout, Ma Hao Bin quickly locked in a Guillotine choke from against the cage to put opponent Bu Huo You Ga to sleep in just a little over a minute into the first round. Ma wasted no time in looking for the submission which he used to win in the semi-final bout, squeezing tightly until Bu Huo was out. With the victory, Ma Hao Bin was crowned Changsha Bantamweight Tournament champion.

YuXin: The Tutorial Center with a Heart for Excellence

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas was invited to an afternoon of learning a different way to teach Math.

The event was held on January 23 at the Xanland building in Katipunan, Quezon City by YuXin Singapore Math Center where a few hours of teaching Math using the Singapore method was demonstrated to a group of attendees comprising mostly of teachers all eager to try the so called better technique to teach Math to children, and even adults who are still open to alternative ways or learning.

Unlike other similar centers, YuXin also conducts other learning methods like Mind Mapping, Speed Reading, Reading Comprehension and others, that were all designed to make the most of our skills. Their Academic Tutorials, Advancement & Enrichment Programs are available to support K-12 students.
I had a short interview with the owner herself where she discussed how their center is offering free demonstrations to interested students who wish to excel in their studies. They started out with the Singare Math and will also soon provide demo lessons on Mind Mapping and other techniques at their Katipunan branch.

YuXin was derived from two words where "Yu" means Excellence and "Xin" means heart or mind. Thus they have the slogan of "A Heart for Excellence."

Asian Air Safari Holds Special Preview of Season 10 Episodes

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We recently got invited to the the special premier of two new episodes for Season 10 of the Asian Air Safari travel show featured regularly on the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC). The event was held at Cinema 3 of EDSA Shangri-La Mall in Mandaluyong on January 19, 2016.

Capt. Joy Roa, along with most of his staff, was personally there to facilitate the event. There was good food, wine, and some raffle prizes courtesy of some sponsors.

The special premiere featured some episodes at random order namely the Part 1 of their Turkey episode, and the Part 2 of their Rwanda episode.

Turkey Part 1: Discovering the Turkish Riviera is Episode 8, while Rwanda Part 2: Gorillas in our Midst is Episode 11. The two episodes shown in the screening are both halves of two-part adventures. 

Both are exciting adventures. The first one was through the Turkish Mediterranean coast, and the second one with the mountain gorillas of Rwanda, which are both worth seeing on the big screen.

The above photo shows Capt. Joy being friendly with the mountain gorillas who allowed him to get near to them thanks to his guide.
