Wazzup Pilipinas!

The attack on the wrong doings and immoral acts of most of the political personalities was done in a humorous and "provocative" way thru a comedy movie called Juana C.

Starring Juana Change, Mae Paner in real life, the movie, or "sex" comedy as they claim with a grin on their faces, is a movie with a mission, and that includes to promote good governance and non-traditional leadership. It shouts out loud that there is an extreme need for change in the government system and the time for change is now.

There is a lot of sex in Juana C. the full-length film debut of the political critic/YouTube phenomenon. Kinky sex, sex for pay, boy on boy, girl on girl, group and something called vroom vroom. Why is there so much sex in a movie that wears its advocacies on its XXL sleeve?

The Inquirer reports "On May 17, during the packed concert titled “I Vice Ganda Mo Ako sa Araneta” at the Big Dome, Viceral staged a whole segment about unlikely celebrities becoming bold stars.

The segment, uploaded on YouTube in its entirety, included jokes about Soho, the only GMA 7 personality among ABS-CBN stars (Boy Abunda, Kris Aquino, Gus Abelgas and Kim Atienza) “roasted.”

Should Soho start making sexy movies, Viceral said, the pivotal scene should be a gang rape. This followed a joke—and was followed by another—about Soho’s weight.

“I could let the fat jokes go,” Soho told the Inquirer earlier. “But he had to go so far.”"

In other words Vice Ganda, roast only those close to you, who knows and patronize you. Be on safe zone na lang para lahat happy.

I salute Pinoy products because I am a proud to promote Filipino made products that came from the creative minds and entrepreneurial spirit of Filipinos. Whether in or out of the Philippines, the Pinoy really makes an outstanding mark.

I most admire those businessmen who would try to compete with big brands in a world where branding and recognition is highly invested upon. We would see a lot of marketing efforts that would shell out a large financing in order to promote a brand.

It is such an inspiration knowing that locals would try to make a name out from a market that's already filled up with so many choices.

I never knew this will be another memorable experience for me as I rubbed shoulders with Solenn Heussaff as one of my team mates during a cook fest challenge sponsored by Sun Broadband.

This is in line with their promotions of their WiFi stick that was designed to be used primamrily for vehicles as it comes with an adaptor for car charging.

What was amazing aside from the technological innovation from Sun, it was a huge surprise learning that Solenn was so knowledgeable in cooking, plus friendly and accommodating. She was also a team leader as she participated well in the team effort to be able to come up with dishes based only from the available ingredients given to us.

Details of the remarkable experience below.
