Mocha Uson Appointed as MTRCB Board Member

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Why does this government keep trying to legitimize Mocha Uson? Why are they trying to repackage trash?" - Chowking Hazard @Watdahel_Marcel

Probably the BIGGEST JOKE I've heard from President Rodrigo Duterte ever! Mocha Uson has been appointed a board member of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB). Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea confirms the appointment. "Mocha is an artist. She is one of the biggest artists we have in the country. She's been in the show business world for more than a decade already," Presidential Communications Secretary Andanar said.

Kung si Mocha Uson nga pwedeng maging MTRCB board member so lahat ng imposible, pwedeng mangyari. Tangina crush naman pansinin mo na ako please.

Magbabalik loob na rin yata ako sa panunuod ng pinoy movies/ teleseryes ngayong board member na ng MTRCB si Mocha.

"Mocha Uson has common sense and knows the pulse of the public." says Tito Sotto. What? 

See? You can be anything you wish to be no matter how undeserving you are of it. Never give up on your dreams. Ang hinihintay ko na lang eh, ang magsama sa senado sina Tito Sotto at Mocha Uson. Power tandem ng Pilipinas kung nagkataon. Konting kapit pa kay Tatay Digong, Ate Mocha. Magiging Chief Justice ka niyan! So please don't joke about Mocha being the next president of the PH, it might come true. Lol!

Medtech Graduate at umabot ng 2nd Year sa Med School si Mocha. But Mocha is like our very own High School classmate who acts like a valedictorian even though we all know she can't even recite Panatang Makabayan right. SMH.

Mocha Uson says in Facebook post that her first mission is not to allow soft porn on prime time TV. She shouldn't be allowed on TV and soc med. Puro kasinungalingan at katangahan lang naman ang sinasabi.

DOTr: Expect World-Class Air Traffic Service in the Philippines Very Soon

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) under the Department of Transportation (DOTr) recently unveiled an early gift to Filipinos this Year-- the operationalization of the new Communications Navigation Surveillance / Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) system by end of June 2017.

This CNS/ATM system is a state-of-the-art computer and satellite based air traffic management technology that will put the Philippines at the same level with other developed countries in the world by having aircraft transponders receive satellite signals and using transponder transmissions to determine the precise locations of aircraft in the sky. Thus, this project aims to provide a more efficient, economic, and safer air traffic flow management in the country. Currently, the same technology is being used by Australia, Taiwan, and other European states.

The technology-based flight data processing system of the CNS/ATM system will likewise enable aircraft operators to meet their departure and arrival schedules, and choose their preferred flight profiles with minimum inhibitions while prioritizing the safety and security of their passengers.

The 22-Million Yen project funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) includes the establishment of a central traffic control complex housed in the CAAP office in Manila, as well as ten (10) radar sites that cover the entire Philippine Flight Information Region (FIR). It is now 92% complete.

2017 Tech Predictions: Faster Speeds, Bigger Data, Smarter Cities

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Another year has come and gone, and we wonder about what is forthcoming as citizens of a highly connected and digitized world.   In a society where everything can change in the blink of an eye, we list down what we think are most likely to happen in the next dozen months.

LTE Dominance

4G LTE is big in the Philippines and it is no longer just available in key urban centers. Far flung regions have also began enjoying this high speed mobile technology thanks to efforts of telcos such as PLDT’s wireless unit Smart. Smart’s use of its recently tapped 700MHz will allow for wider range of LTE signal reach and stronger indoor penetration, making mobile experience much better than the current 3G standards.

With demand at an all-time high, expect more compatible phones, faster speeds, and better coverage. To be able to ride on to this LTE-wave, make sure you’re on an LTE phone – even better if it’s 700MHz-compatible.

Fiber on a Budget

Just like its nutritious namesake, Fiber is the best when it comes to ensuring a smooth and zippy internet experience. In recent years it has become more affordable and more reliable at that—it shouldn’t come as a surprise if it comes out with an even more affordable offering soon.

Moreover, in 2017, we’re expecting fiber internet experience to be deployed rapidly. PLDT recently announced that it’s starting to roll out “fiber-fast broadband on regular phone lines” through technologies called GiGa Wire and G.fast. Over 500 buildings and residences are expected to be fiber-boosted soon.

Watch Stars or Be The Star

With both LTE and Fiber gaining widespread popularity, the rise of on-demand Live video services will undoubtedly follow suit. Fast connectivity is key for creating and consuming video content. It is also integral in making broadcasting features such as Facebook Live a hassle-free experience, continuously evolving how we send and receive live reports and updates.

NFC FTW!

Tap-to-go cashless payments will become the norm. We’ve already seen the contactless devices and tap cards make transportation less stressful, and in 2017 it will become more versatile than ever. In fact it can already be used in popular convenience store chains.

Cashless Online Shopping

Many have already seen the online shopping revolution take shape, but it’s still not as cashless as it should be. A number still prefer the Cash-On-Delivery (COD) payment method over more modern and convenient means. The good news, online payment will continue to be more flexible and convenient, with the rise of virtual payment cards and accounts. With the increasing acceptance of these channels, no need for everyone to own a credit card to purchase goods and services from websites and apps.

IoT for Pinoys

Internet of Things or IoT offerings for Filipinos will come into fruition. Unlike the ones available in more progressive countries, the localized version of IoT will cater to the Pinoys’ needs—perhaps a flood monitoring tool, door sensors, or even a real-time electricity consumption meter. All of these special functions can be monitored via an easy-to-use mobile app.

3D Printing for All

Designing your own scale models will further spur creativity to an already creative nation. 3D printing can create a new breed of digital Filipino sculptors that can take the world by storm. Local manufacturing, too, can benefit from this technology as it will allow them to create prototypes quickly and at significantly lower cost.
