The Top 10 Requests of Bloggers (and Everyone Else in Media)

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Quickly.... from whatever comes to mind first...I search the inner recesses of my brains ....trying to tap my memories and experiences when I attend events meant for bloggers and/or members of tri-media.

The complaints, rants, and requests are all the same. Whether for print, TV, radio, or online media. There is nothing separating them anymore (OK... may be there's a fine line between tri-media and online media). We are now talking of the same people, with same goals and needs - to cover the news and share it with the world - but to get something in return. After all, being a member of the media is extremely hard work and we also have bills to pay.

Whether you want to admit it or not, each one of us wants to be rewarded or compensated for our efforts. "Hindi naman pwedeng palaging TY at libre na lang ate".

Media people (online or offline) all deserve and expect respect. They are not here to become charitable institutions. It's work for most of them. It's nice when you are acknowledged for being supportive, but it's awesome if you get to enjoy some blessings.


Here are some of the requests we hear that we hope the establishments will grant to our vigilant media men.

Claudine Barretto Is A Battered Wife : Di Nga? This Must Be a Typo!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Atty. Ferdinand Topacio said that Caludine Barretto has been suffering as early as 2005 from co-celebrity husband Raymart Santiago saying she is a battered wife physically, emotionally, psychologically and even "economically".

"Ayon sa aking kliyente, 2005 pa ay mayroon nang ganitong mga acts ngunit dahil nga sa pagmamahal niya noon kay Raymart at nung magkaroon sila ng mga anak, tiniis niya until it came to a point na hindi na niya kayang tiisin," he said.

Whoah!! Si Claudine Barretto ay isang battered wife?

Teka...I still remember Claudine Barretto helplessly beating up a man twice or thrice her age at the NAIA Terminal 3. Do you still remember her battle against the Tulfo Brothers?

Parang mas mukhang battered husband si Raymart Santiago ah.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

She’s tinsel town’s newest it-girl. And she’s everywhere—from billboards to glossies to the blogosphere, Liz Uy continues to fascinate with her eye for all things stylish. From being a magazine editor and celebrity stylist, Liz has become a star on her own with a multitude of endorsements under her hat.

During a hectic day with a schedule of a celebrity stylist, Liz needs an efficient smartphone partner and a reliable data connection to keep up with the demands of her fast-paced lifestyle. Both of which, she found in BlackBerry Z10 and Globe Telecom.


Describe your day.

On a typical day, as soon as the alarm rings, I check my BlackBerry Z10 to review my to-do list for the day. Then, I get ready, usually I try and keep it pretty structured with some comfort since my day ahead involves meetings, pullouts, and shoots; coordinating with my team and so on, so I like to find outfits that will take me through the day. After work, I make time to work out and stay fit.
