Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Golden Globe Annual Awards for Business Excellence award-giving body is celebrating their "10th Year" Anniversary this 2017, and what better way to celebrate but to continue to recognize well deserving brands and personalities from different sectors of business including government service.

Among the notable awardees that were present that night were celebrity comedian Kaye Brosas who we regularly see at ABS-CBN's Umagang Kay Ganda as a co-host. There was also Ilocos Governor Imee Marcos who received an award for their provincial LGU. Also among the government officials was Strike Revilla, representative from the 2nd district of Cavite province. Plus a lot more awardees as the Grand Ballroom of the Manila Hotel was filled with several awardees coming also from many SMEs.

Wazzup Pilipinas has also been chosen as one of the recipients of the Golden Globe Annual Awards for Business Excellence and Filipino Achiever 2017.

It is our nth award coming from different award-giving bodies but we continue to appreciate every recognition conferred to us. We highly welcome all acknowledgement of all our efforts and accomplishments so we readily accept the trophy and certificate received by every awardee.

My First Drone Media Launch of Propel RC Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Many would see it more like a toy but it definitely does a lot more than just fly or hover. It has its limitations compared to the expensive ones, but what would you expect from a less than 1K (P998) worth of gadget?

True enough to their launch title, Propel RC Philippines' Atom 1.0 Micro Drone could be your ideal "first drone" as its price is not too bad that it would be easier for us to lose or break them without regretting the cost of investment. You get to practice flying a drone so you could be better when using the more expensive brands and models.

They did showed us a couple of bigger models but the night was focused on the micro drones.

The media launch was held on March 23, 2017 at the Vu's Sky Bar & Lounge of Marco Polo Hotel in Ortigas.

The micro drone, which is small enough to easily land on the palm of your hand, is battery operated and available in several colors. However, they are starting only with four colors (black, silver, blue and red) for the Philippine media launch. Though the organizers showed me several color options, they would probably become available only if the demand is high enough.

During the media launch, the organizers said it would be available that night at Lazada online shopping portal and at selected Family Mart and 7-11 convenience stores by March 27, 2017.

They also recently announced that the Atom Micro Drone 1.0 will also be available in all Hobbes and Landes and Build City locations starting April 11, 2017.
