Revisiting My Adventures and Future Destinations

Wazzup Pilipinas!?



As I look back on my recent travels, each destination stands out, filled with memorable moments and unique experiences. From the futuristic skyline of Singapore to the serene beauty of Bintan Island, and the hidden gems of Rizal Province, every journey has left an imprint on my travel timeline. As I gear up for new adventures, including an exciting photography tour in SOCCSKSARGEN and a return to Cebu for Geeks on a Beach, I reflect on the places that have shaped my wanderlust and the future destinations that await. Here’s a glimpse into the adventures that have fueled my passion for exploration.


My Timeline has captured some memorable destinations. As I revisit these places, it’s also a great opportunity to explore some of the top tourist spots and attractions I might have visited or could visit in the future.


1. Singapore

During my recent adventure, I spent time in Singapore, a world-renowned destination known for its modern architecture, vibrant culture, and luxurious experiences.Marina Bay Sands: No trip to Singapore is complete without visiting this iconic integrated resort. I could enjoy panoramic views from the Sands SkyPark or dine at one of its world-class restaurants.

Merlion Park: Of course, I stopped by Merlion Park, home to the famous Merlion statue. This symbol, with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, is one of Singapore’s most recognized landmarks.

Clarke Quay: This bustling riverside quay is famous for its nightlife and dining options. The Singapore River Cruise from Clarke Quay offered a scenic view of the city skyline and its heritage buildings.

Gardens by the Bay: One of Singapore’s most futuristic parks, I could explore towering Supertrees and indoor conservatories like the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest.



2. Bintan Island, Indonesia

On this trip, I crossed from Singapore to Bintan Island in Indonesia, where I stayed at the Bintan Lagoon Resort and experienced some unique attractions.


Tanjung Uban Heritage and Eco-Farm Tour: This tour gave me a chance to explore traditional Indonesian life. It was a wonderful experience to immerse myself in local culture through heritage sites and farms.

Bintan Mangrove: The Bintan Island Mangrove Tour was one of the eco-tour highlights, offering a chance to explore the island's natural beauty and spot wildlife along the riverbanks.

Safari Lagoi Bintan: Visiting this small zoo gave me the opportunity to see various animals up close, making for a fun and educational experience.

Penyengat Island: A great spot for history buffs, this island is home to an ancient Sultanate palace and mosque that reflect the rich Islamic heritage of the area.



3. Rizal Province, Philippines

Closer to home, I’ve also organized influencer tours in Rizal Province to promote local tourism. Some of the towns I’ve explored include Rodriguez, Tanay, and Angono, all of which have amazing hidden gems.Daranak Falls (Tanay): One of Rizal’s most popular natural attractions, a perfect spot for a refreshing dip or a scenic picnic.

Masungi Georeserve (Baras): This eco-tourism site offers thrilling adventure trails along limestone formations, rope courses, and breathtaking views.

Angono-Binangonan Petroglyphs: The oldest known artwork in the Philippines, this ancient site features rock carvings dating back to 3000 BC.

Pinto Art Museum (Antipolo): A haven for contemporary art lovers, offering an expansive collection set in a scenic hillside location.



4. SOCCSKSARGEN, Philippines

Coming up, I’m scheduled for a photography tour in SOCCSKSARGEN, a region in southern Mindanao, from October 25-28, 2024. There are some fantastic spots in this region that I’m looking forward to:


Lake Sebu: Known for its pristine lakes and waterfalls, it’s a serene destination. The Seven Falls Zipline is a highly recommended tourist activity.

General Santos City: As the "Tuna Capital of the Philippines," I’ll be sure to try some of the freshest seafood and explore the bustling markets.

Asik-Asik Falls (North Cotabato): This hidden gem features curtain-like waterfalls cascading down lush green hills—a dream for nature lovers and photographers.


5. As founder of Wazzup Pilipinas, I have been involved in various travel and media partnerships throughout 2024.

In August, my family and I visited Cebu from August 16 to 19, staying at The Noble Cebu Hotel. I am scheduled to return to Cebu from November 13 to 15 for Geeks on a Beach, where I will serve as one of the media partners.

6. In September, I participated in the Biyaheng South Experiential Tour of Cavite on September 17 to 18, 2024, as one of the Biyaheros influencers and content creators, an event organized by MPT South.

These trips and engagements reflect my active role in promoting tourism and technology-related events across the Philippines.


7. Metro Manila, Philippines

Living in Metro Manila, my Timeline likely recorded some of my frequent destinations. There’s always something new to see and do here:

Intramuros: The historic walled city of Manila offers guided tours of Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, and museums that showcase the country’s colonial history.

National Museum Complex: A great place for art and history enthusiasts, housing important cultural artifacts, including Juan Luna’s Spoliarium.

Bonifacio Global City (BGC): A vibrant modern hub known for its shopping districts, dining, and interactive street art.



Reflection and Future Exploration

My Timeline has become not just a map of places I’ve been but a reminder of the destinations I want to revisit or explore further. Whether it’s retracing my steps through Singapore’s modern marvels, relaxing in the natural beauty of Bintan Island in Indonesia, or diving into the rich history and culture of Rizal Province, there’s always something new waiting to be discovered.

Instituto Cervantes shows a creative dialogue between Spanish painter Marty and Kidlat Tahimik

Wazzup Pilipinas!?




Wolves at the Door. Cosmic Encounters

Artist: Enrique Marty (Salamanca, 1969)

Curator: Kristine Guzmán (Manila, 1974)

With the special participation of Kidlat Tahimik (Baguio, 1942)

Venue: Instituto Cervantes de Manila (Intramuros Branch)



What can result from the meeting of the Spanish painter Enrique Marty with the legendary artist from Baguio, Kidlat Tahimik? Wolves at the Door. Cosmic Encounters is a proposal by the artist Marty, a project partially born during his visit to the Philippines and meeting with Kidlat Tahimik. It is made specifically for the Instituto Cervantes de Manila, and based on a work in progress that he has been undertaking since 2013, in the form of short video-essays entitled All your world is pointless, in which Marty condenses his philosophical views on art, the world and humanity; and which serve, in most cases, as a starting point for a larger work.



Wolves at the Door is the title of Episode VII of All your world is pointless and represents the artist's first foray into volume animation, a completely artisanal technique that emerged in Eastern Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. The work revolves around the character of the German teenager Kaspar Hauser, an enigmatic figure who appeared in a square in Nuremberg on May 26, 1828. Apparently, he could not speak, nor could he stand up, walk or eat anything other than bread and water. His mental state sparked many hypotheses about his origins, and his end was equally mysterious.

His character was adapted for the big screen in 1974 by Werner Herzog under the title The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, and featured Kidlat Tahimik in his first role as an actor: an indigenous person exhibited as an attraction in a human zoo, like those indigenous tribes who participated in the General Exhibition of the Philippines at the Crystal Palace in Madrid in 1887. Marty incorporates the character of Kidlat Tahimik in his video, turning him into a shaman, an erudite to whom the young man turns after his liberation, transforming Herzog's tragic end into something more hopeful. Thus, the artist reflects on the construction of identity in a world that he finds meaningless.

The exhibition is completed with watercolor works, that served as a storyboard and the video Cosmic Encounters, a conversation between curator Kristine Guzmán, Enrique Marty and Kidlat Tahimik that took place in Baguio, in August 2024. The interview reveals many parallels in the works of the two artists such as the visibility of the “other,” materialized in the representation of Kaspar Hauser, and the role played by Kidlat Tahimik in the 1974 film.



Espacios Ocupados

The Espacios Ocupados Program comprises a series of artistic projects generated by the network of Instituto Cervantes centers through dialogue with local contexts (https://exposiciones.cervantes.es/espaciosocupados/).

Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, DA2, Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Gemeentemuseum, Kunsthalle Mannheim and most recently at the Antwerp Cathedral.

His works belong to important public and private collections such as MUSAC, Museo Patio Herreriano, Centro de Arte Caja Burgos, DA2, Fundación Marcelino Botín, Marugame Hirai Museum, Özyl Collection. Enrique has a Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca.

Сryptocurrency Trading Tools - How do traders make money from it? ArbitrageScanner.io Dubai Event

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Ang mundo ng cryptocurrencies ay patuloy na nagbabago, nagbibigay daan sa mga bagong oportunidad para sa mga mangangalakal. Ang ArbitrageScanner.io ay patuloy na umuunlad upang magbigay ng mga makabagong solusyon para sa matagumpay na arbitrage. Dahil sa patuloy na pag-unlad na ito, nananatiling nangunguna ang serbisyo sa segment, nag-aalok ng pinakamahusay na mga kasangkapan para sa crypto arbitrage at on-chain analysis. Ngunit hindi dito tumitigil ang ArbitrageScanner: regular silang nagsasagawa ng mga eksklusibong kaganapan upang palakasin ang kanilang posisyon at ipakita na ang kanilang mga gumagamit ay kumikita ng $50,000 bawat buwan gamit ang kanilang mga kasangkapan.

Bakit kailangan ang mga kaganapang ito? Upang ibahagi ang mga karanasan ng mga gumagamit ng serbisyo, makipagkilala sa mga kawili-wiling tao, at makakuha ng mga impormasyong mahirap hanapin sa ibang bahagi ng web. Sa loob ng tatlong taon, nag-oorganisa na ang ArbitrageScanner ng mga kaganapan kung saan nagtitipon ang mga batikang mangangalakal at crypto whales mula sa iba't ibang bahagi ng mundo upang ibahagi ang kanilang mga karanasan at pinakabagong kaalaman sa merkado.

Sa harap ng lumalaking kompetisyon, nananatiling nangunguna ang ArbitrageScanner, ngunit bakit nga ba? Maraming serbisyo ang nag-aalok ng katulad na mga tampok: Dune, Zerion, Icrypto, at iba pa. Ang sagot ay simple: wala sa kanila ang nag-aalok ng mas maraming oportunidad para kumita ng pera sa cryptocurrencies tulad ng ArbitrageScanner. Ang mga serbisyong nabanggit ay angkop lamang para makilala ang industriya, habang ang ArbitrageScanner ay isang tiyak na kasangkapang gumagana, kung saan ang mga kliyente ay nagtatagumpay nang x1000 sa kanilang paunang kapital.

Bakit pinipili ng mga crypto whales ang ArbitrageScanner Event?

Ang lugar ay Dubai at ang petsa ay Oktubre 24-25, kasunod ng Blockchain Life 2024 conference. Huwag planuhin ang inyong negosyo sa mga petsang ito dahil hindi dapat palampasin ang ArbitrageScanner event. Upang makapagsimula, tingnan ang iskedyul ng kaganapan:

Kabilang sa mga opisyal na kasosyo ang Release Kraken, Qelt, at ang nangungunang exchange para sa mga mangangalakal - OKX.

Dito mo lang mahahanap ang pinakamababang komisyon, access sa iba't ibang uri ng trading (spot, futures, smart trading), pati na rin ang mataas na leverage para sa margin trading - hanggang 125x, at ang oportunidad na magsanay ng ligtas sa isang demo account. Sa ngayon, ang OKX ang pinakamahusay na platform para sa mga mangangalakal sa CIS at pandaigdigang merkado. Huwag palampasin ang pagkakataong makilala nang personal ang koponan ng OKX! Sa kaganapan, maaari mong itanong ang iyong mga katanungan at matuto ng pinakamahusay na mga estratehiya ng Tier-1 exchange sa cryptocurrency market.

Isa pang kasosyo ay ang QELT (Quantum Enhanced Ledger Technology), na nasa unahan ng blockchain innovation, nagbibigay ng mataas na performance, secure, at scalable na digital na solusyon gamit ang quantum computing at artificial intelligence. Isa sa mga lakas ng QELT ay ang pagbibigay ng ready-made solutions upang madaling maisama ang blockchain at mapabuti ang operational efficiency. Ang pinakabagong proyekto nito ay naglalayong baguhin ang industriya ng musika sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng kontrol pabalik sa mga artista at superfans. Sa QELT, pinapalawak ng koponan ang industriya, binibigyan ang mga artista ng higit na pagmamay-ari sa kanilang mga nilalaman, pinapataas ang kanilang kita, at pinalalawak ang kanilang pandaigdigang abot. Sa pamamagitan ng teknolohiya, magkakaroon ang superfans ng direktang pakikipag-ugnayan sa kanilang mga paboritong artista, lumilikha ng bagong paraan upang makipag-ugnayan at suportahan sila. Layunin ng proyekto na alisin ang middleman, dagdagan ang transparency ng royalties, at lumikha ng mas makatarungang ekosistema kung saan ang pagiging malikhain ay ginagantimpalaan at ang loyalty ng mga tagahanga ay pinatatag.

Isa sa mga pangunahing kasosyo ng kaganapan ay ang Release Kraken ecosystem. Sa kasalukuyan, sila ang isa sa mga unang proyekto na may tap-to-earn application sa Solana blockchain (isang mas likido at maaasahang blockchain, kung ihahambing sa Ton). Ang laro ay ang unang produkto sa ecosystem. Dito, maaari kang maglaro, bumili, at mag-stake ng Kraken Tokens ($RTK), bumuo ng koleksyon ng mga natatanging NFTs, at makilahok sa mga platform at partner quests.

Sa ngayon, maaari ka nang magsimulang mangolekta ng puntos sa Tar-to-Earn app upang i-convert ang mga ito sa mga token, at ang pinakamasigasig ay maaaring ipagpalit ito para sa mga bihirang NFTs at kumita ng higit pa. Plano ng proyekto na lumikha ng indie game, isang RWA platform na may geocaching (isang sikat na offline quest activity sa US), na ang mga anunsyo ay nakatakdang ilabas sa malapit na hinaharap. Ngunit isang bagay ang tiyak, plano ng Kraken Release na bumuo ng isang malaking at napapanatiling ecosystem sa Solana, kung saan hindi lamang kikita ng malaki ang mga gumagamit, kundi magiging bahagi rin sila ng proyekto.

Tulad ng nakikita mo, marami nang talakayan at debate ang nakatakda. Gayunpaman, maaaring hindi ito kasing kahanga-hanga kung wala ang mga kalahok. Inaanyayahan sa kaganapan ang:

● Mga batikang ArbitrageScanner users. Tatalakayin ang iba't ibang mga kaso at patutunayan ng mga tao mismo sa lugar, at baka sila na rin mismo ang magsabi ng lahat;

● Mga mangangalakal at mga investor na nakalikom na ng higit sa $5 milyon sa kapital. Maaaring maging kapaki-pakinabang malaman ang kanilang mga estratehiya at kung paano nila balak magpatuloy, hindi ba?

● Mga tagapamahala ng exchange at pondo. Sino pa ang mas mahusay upang makakuha ng pinakabagong mga pananaw sa crypto market?

Bumili ng tiket sa ArbitrageScanner website at huwag palampasin ang isa sa pinakamahalagang kaganapan sa crypto industry ngayong 2024. Mahalagang punto - sa pagbili ng tiket sa kaganapan, hindi mo lamang makukuha ang pagkakataon na dumalo sa dalawang araw na kaganapan, kundi magkakaroon ka rin ng access sa ArbitrageScanner tools sa loob ng isang buwan. Kahit wala kang kaalaman sa arbitrage o on-chain analysis, tutulungan ka ng team na i-setup ang bot sa kaganapan, ipapakita ang mga gumaganang estratehiya, at makikita mo ang iyong mga unang resulta.

Paano nakakagawa ang mga mangangalakal ng x70 gamit ang ArbitrageScanner tools?

Ang ArbitrageScanner ngayon ang pinakamahusay na kasangkapan para sa blockchain analysis at cryptocurrency arbitrage.

Ang pag-aanalisa ng mga wallet, paghahanap ng mga wallet gamit ang mga filter, at paghahanap ng mga katulad na AI wallets - ito ang pinakamahusay na mga kasangkapan para kumita ng pera: makikita mo kung sino at paano kumikita ng pera sa blockchain para sa partikular na mga coin, maaari kang mag-subscribe sa mga wallet na ito, suriin ang mga ito at sundan sila: halimbawa, ang mga wallet ng pinakamalalaking pondo, market makers, market insiders, at iba pa. Sa kasalukuyan, ito ang pinakamahusay na kasangkapan sa merkado upang kumita ng pera, na daig ang lahat ng kakumpitensya nito:

Nansen, Debank, Arkham, at iba pa.

At dito gusto naming ituro ang isa pang bentahe ng pakikipagtrabaho sa ArbitrageScanner - pagkatapos mag-subscribe sa serbisyo, makakatanggap ka ng libreng pagsasanay kung saan ipapakita nang detalyado ang lahat ng mga tampok at posibilidad ng arbitrage gamit ang mga partikular na kaso - at maaari kang magsimulang mag-arbitrage sa isang bagong paraan gamit ang mga kasong ito bilang halimbawa. Makakakuha ka rin ng access sa isang pribadong chatroom na may matibay na crypto community kung saan ibinabahagi ng mga kalahok ang kanilang gumaganang estratehiya, mga kaso, at mga pananaw sa merkado.

Inirerekomenda din namin ang paggamit ng arbitrage tools, kasama ang Arbitrage Perpetuals - spot + futures arbitrage strategies, na kasalukuyang pinaka-kumikita. Ang mga kliyente ng serbisyo ay kumikita ng 40-50% ng kanilang kapital kada buwan - maaari kang makahanap ng higit pang mga totoong kaso sa website at sa ArbitrageScanner YouTube channel.

At kung nais mong makipag-usap nang personal sa mga taong kumikita ng $50,000 bawat buwan gamit ang kanilang tulong ArbitrageScanner tools, kailangan mong dumalo sa ArbitrageScanner event. Ang kaganapan ay magbibigay sa iyo ng pagkakataon na sumisid sa kapaligiran ng pagkita ng pera, at ang mga bagong koneksyon ay magbibigay sa iyo ng mga kapaki-pakinabang na kaalaman bago pa man malaman ng ibang mga manlalaro sa merkado.
