Wazzup Pilipinas !

The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Municipal Government of Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur will hold the International Mt. Apo Boulder Face Challenge on 27 – 28 April 2013 to further raise tourism activity and awareness on environmental protection for the Philippines’ highest peak.

“The protection of the environment is a major thrust of tourism. Our 21st century tourists are more discerning and tend to patronize destinations with sustainable practices. The Davao region boasts of many unique offerings and attractions: the durian, waling-waling, Philippine Eagle, and the Mt. Apo. Top that with the community’s active advocacy for protection, and we will have more desirable tourists appreciating these natural assets,” Tourism Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. enthused.

The third international installment of the race and its sixth overall spans 113.3 kilometers: 47.8 km of biking, 50 km of trekking, 3.5 km of water tubing, and 12 km of road running. Any team of three, composed of two racers and one logistics crew, all above 18 years old, are allowed to join the race. “For regular climbers, it takes two days to climb the peak of Mt. Apo and one day to descend. This competition invites participants to do a 24-hour climb of Mt. Apo and back,” DOT Region XI Director Arturo Boncato said.

Janine Tugonon Announces Break-Up with Her Boyfriend While Cooking "Tinola" on National TV



Wazzup Pilipinas!


A recently uncalled for and unwanted announcement on national TV had everyone in shock. I can imagine how the poor guy felt while they were cooking that "tinola" together while her now "former" beauty queen girlfriend belittles him on national TV, and what's worst - during Kris TV.

What's even worst is that the morning talk show host was equally adding heat to the humiliating incident.

"Kris: Masakit ba? You're hurting?

Jaypee: Ay hinde! masaya nga eh! tanga lang?!"

Naaalala ko pa yung times na todo support yung guy sa kanya habang nasa competition siya. . If she doesn't find him interesting at all okay naman makipag-break but to even broadcast it in national TV is just way too much.

Beauty fades Ms.Janine and karma is a bitch. Who knows your "Script" guy will do the same to you in the near future.. only then you will understand how your guy feels. Where's that "strong mind to show people"?

Chuck's Deli: Slay the Buffy and kill that Mother Chucker at


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Before I came in to Chuck's Deli, I knew I was going to take either the Buffy Challenge or the Mother Chucker challenge. I already saw in their Facebook that a lot of people took both challenges and failed miserably so I got nervous.

In the Buffy challenge, you have to slay the Buffy Slabwich in 5 minutes or less. It is not that hard as it sounds until you take a good look at the sandwich itself. Add that to the fact that it is spicy so I did not choose this challenge. The mother chucker challenge on the other hand says you must finish the mother chucker in 2:30 or less. I decided to take on the mother chucker challenge so I did not taste anything prior to it.

My fellow bloggers were served a variety of delicious menu items including the Buffy Balls (buffalo chicken wing balls), potato wedges, their choice of salad and soup and their choice of milkshakes. They are promoting the Lunch Bag which is a quarter slab plus a side dish and drink. There are 4 lunch bags to choose from and all of them are a must try.

Google's April Fools Franks

Just to be clear, Google Nose is part of Google's annual April Fools pranks. Others are YouTube shutting down and Google Maps' treasure hunt. Google Nose is even integrated in the Search engine today, so when you key in "wet dog" for instance you'll find Google Nose shown at the right side. Have fun exploring and checking all their videos!

Technological Role in Poverty




In the modern generation world, the techno-competitive environment has been widely known. In the past several years, technology has been vastly welcomed by the general eye as it protrudes its wonderful spectrum of knowledge and ideas. Simply starting from its little known area, it winded up to the wide variety of novelty and advancements. Little by little, and instinctively speaking, technology has been a powerful tool to solve large amount of human bewilderment and environmental perplexity. The technology varying from its sources up to the ends of the world, strives to lessen the proliferation of any world-stricken dilemmas especially in talks with poverty all over the different countries.

The populace employs the high-level skills and information technology to interpret ideas and notion in order to come up with positive outcomes. The government and community continue to evoke technology to help elevate the survival of the public especially those who are in the line of poverty. Despite the popularity and reputation of technological innovations and expertise, it cannot truly emanate the unpleasant matters belonging to the world. It is an inevitable to eradicate problems associated with the world and its people, its original nature and its environment.



Technology, information and knowledge combine to profess great faith among the pitiful citizens who are losing hope in living with their lives. Their effectiveness is quite observable but it doesn’t fully end the extreme poverty. More and more days continue to pass and the gap between the rich and the poor becomes wider. Modernity doesn’t define internal development among the people but more on about the advancements of the external environment. Technology, as some others perceive it, is just the face of the modern world. It’s just like a phase in the universe covered with a range of brilliant views but it cannot and will never hide its true meaning, the poverty behind it still lag behind the spiraling pace of technology.

In everything that happens, there could exist as a pro and con. Technology may sometimes be a pro and con. Yes, it provides tools, machineries, expertise and knowledge combination in order to solve dilemmas like in politics, ethics, social responsibilities and more importantly, the poverty intact. Technology allows people to create the connections and relationships that together can break down the systems that keep people poor. While on its con, Technology is just the magnifier of human intent and capacity. (©Kentaro Toyama, Boston Review, 2010) As more development on the modern technological world takes place, more conflicts arise and human confusion still occurs.

By itself technology doesn't end poverty, but it permits inhabitants to form the associations and interaction that together can rupture the schemes that keep people deprived and underprivileged. (©Hugh Evans, Huffington Post, 2012) Obviously, ever-increasing technology is not the answer to the problem of poverty, for despite the fact that nations live in a world of expanding technology, poverty still exists.

Giving aid to the needy isn't a sufficient solution, because such aid to poor countries is often just a drop in the bucket. (©Fred Nance, United Church of God Association, 2013) Technology cannot extremely end poverty because it cannot fully estimate the power of other factors that affect the propagation of poverty and people are adhered to the fact that poverty is unavoidable, and always considered as an old and modern age problem.




Poverty is nothing new to the world. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer," says an old depression-era song and it still rings true today. It seems hard to believe in this world of computers, technology and information that there could also exist an age-old problem: poverty. And the irony of this proliferating problem is that poverty is increasing in the world amid abundance. The breach is really broadening between rich and poor, smart and dumb, and any other two comparisons. (©Fred Nance, United Church of God Association, 2013)
