Thank you to Miss Janette Toral for the short but very meaningful message along with her congratulatory remarks to the founder of WazzupPilipinas.com.

Ross Flores Del Rosario, founder of Wazzup Pilipinas, shared an article containing some insights thru the Wazzup Pilipinas blog about the recently concluded 2nd Digital Influencers Marketing Summit and the recognition of the Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2013 of which Wazzup Pilipinas was one of the lucky ten.

Wazzup Pilipinas even made it at the top of the list based from tabulated votes coming from fellow bloggers. Ross also shared a bit of reflection on how he persistently worked hard for the sake of the Wazzup Pilipinas blog, and how he managed to involve other bloggers to participate in the effort to setup the community blog.

Indeed the WazzupPilipinas.com blog may only be a few months old but it has already made quite an admirable accomplishment.

The saying that you should not judge a book based form its cover is very appropriate for these Japanese restaurant located in Malate that we had the opportunity to visit one rainy night after an event that we attended at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City. My kids and I took a taxi cab from SMX to attend the grand launch of the Japanese restaurant located in Adriatico, and we were amazed at the interiors of the restaurant. The exteriors looked similar to other Japanese restaurants, but the inside was surprisingly magnificent.

The Izakaya Kenta that offers authentic Japanese cuisine is not really new but its under new management. It was formerly located in Pedro Gil St. Malate, Manila, in front of Hyatt Hotel for 13 years, and now reopens in Adriatico St. near Remedios Circle at the Ground Floor of the Malate Bayview Mansion.

The new owners decided to reopen the Japanese restaurant at a better location, and believe me when I say that the new interior design was like stepping inside an authentic Japanese restaurant in Japan. It was really sophisticated and intricate in design. Kudos to the creative and talented people behind the new interiors. I'm sure this beats the design of the former venue. The ambiance at this restaurant was too good

Of course, compliments to the chef for serving us authentic Japanese cuisine that's worth every centavo of your hard-earned money. Imagine a wonderful authentic Japanese dining experience at a very convenient place in the Metro.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"See you soon, Philippines ♥♡♥"- @meganbata Megan Young

I'm just reposting some newsworthy announcement that I'm sure every Filipino will be excited about:

Recenly crowned Miss World of 2013 Megan Young returns to Manila on October 11, ABS-CBN reports.

Cory Quirino, director of Miss World Philippines has confirmed the news. "Parating na siya. Darating siya Thursday," she said. The 23-year-old actress and model, who has fulfilled her dream to take part and win in an international beauty contest, is the first Filipino to win the coveted crown.

Upon her return to Metro Manila, she is expected to be welcomed with a parade around the metropolis, in the historic tradition accorded to Gemma Cruz (for winning the Miss International title in 1964) and Gloria Diaz (for winning the Miss Universe title in 1969), among other past Filipina winners in international contests.

Megan's arrival will thus be another moment in the history, pop culture, and social life of Manila. - via RAPPLER

Wazzup Pilipinas!

These articles are from the Daylight - Good news about the Philippines and Pinoys from the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO).

“Today, we find ourselves at a time where we are cleaning up and strengthening our systems and processes; at a time when we once more face a crossroads—if we choose what is right and what is straight, this is the path that will bring us to true and meaningful change in society. It is my hope that, as a people, we will see today’s destruction of the culture of corruption as part of our goal to achieve inclusive growth.”

-President Benigno S. Aquino III, in the speech on October 2, 2013, where he announced more government-reform initiatives, including sweeping changes in the Bureau of Customs

Gotta love the Pick-Up Line "I must be dancing with the Devil, because you're HOT as HELL!" It's one of the pick-up lines I see in an app that I just downloaded a few minutes ago.

I reviewed a social networking app that lets you know of exciting events happening globally while interacting with your online friends and other subscribers. Since my blog is all about anything and everything happening in Manila, or the Philippines as a whole, and even outside the country for events and issues which every Filipino share the interests globally, I believe I would APPreciate this app very much.

I welcome the relaunch of a new network app called GOINOUT - the premier dedicated nightlife social networking platform.

Trying out the app was so fun and it was very easy for me to navigate around the program. I logged in using my Facebook account so I didn't have to register, and it was really user-friendly. Easily comprehensible instructions and I was surprised that quite a number of my online friends, especially the ones who are always out on a gimmick checking out the different bars, clubs and other events places.
