Robin Padilla Versus Franklin Drilon : Abolish the "Pork" Now!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Kami ni Senador Jinggoy Estrada at Senador Bong Revilla ay naging magkaibigan dahil kami ay mga artista. Kung anuman po ang kinalaman ng kanilang trabaho sa isa't-isa, wala po ako doon. Hindi po tayo mabubuhay nang walang kaibigan, at hindi po ibig sabihin na sasamahan ko ang kaibigan ko pag siya'y mali... Ang sinasabi ko po, sa oras na ito, lahat sila'y marumi," Robin Padilla

Do you think Robin Padilla is level-minded and fair to everyone? Do you think he can lead some changes in the country?

Sinabi lang ni Robin ang totoo. Hindi dahil sa kaibigan niya ang mga nabanggit na Senador ay sasama na siya sa mga mali na kanilang ginagawa. Ipinapakita lang niya ang katapatan niya. Ang tunay na kaibigan ay magsasabi kung tama o mali ang gawain ng kanilang kaibigan.

However, kaibigan rin naman ni Robin si Misuari pero bakit wala naman siyang komento tungkol doon na kay daming inosenteng civilians ang namatay at nawalan ng mga bahay doon sa Zamboanga?

MaSKay is now accepting short film entries for the 3rd Halo-Halo Independent Film Festival(HHIFF 2013). Deadline is on October 31, 2013.

Halo-Halo Independent Film Festival (HHIFF) is now on its third year. An event aiming to provide opportunities, encouraging interested people who have undying passion for filmmaking and the arts. It serves as an outlet to express and a venue to showcase talents through films.

The 3rd Halo-Halo Indie Film Festival shares a different viewing pleasure from its pilot run two years ago, where people comfortably watch films while dining with friends and families. Showcasing various short films in narrative, documentary, animation, music video, experimental and other genres produced by Filipino students and filmmakers both amateur and professionals.

Halo-Halo 3 breaks the stiffening impression of a distant stage, where the films, the filmmakers and the audience get to easily engage and communicate with each other. And because we value the participation of our filmmakers and audience, we will be having an “Audience Choice” award where the film viewers will pick their favorite film among the entries in the film festival.

Pokemon X and Y : Launch Day Meet-Up

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The PKMN-ph Team, spearheaded by me, Ranger Paul (yeah, dropped my name there already) decided to create this Pokémon X and Y: Launch Day Meet-Up event (October 12, 2013, Saturday at 1 pm) in order to establish our community better by participating in this one global event in the franchise's history.

We are already listed at the Bulbanews Fan Launch Event Page so if that still doesn't make you proud, then I don't know what to do anymore.

However, we lack the manpower, the funds and the support of TPCi (or even DataBlitz) to start a Fan Launch Party that you guys have been expecting.

To be honest, we don't even know if a 5-man team can handle 90 members at the cramped-up CyberZone in Megamall all at the same time; let alone conduct a B/W tournament for all of us on Saturday.

In support of the UN International Day of the Girl Child (11 October), ADB partnered with Plan International Philippines, Intel Philippines, and WEF Global Shapers Manila Hub in hosting the “ADB Youth Dialogue: Girl Rising Screening.”

Directed by Academy Award nominee Richard Robbins, Girl Rising "spotlights the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change a girl -- and the world." This film tells the stories of 9 extraordinary girls from 9 countries, written by 9 celebrated writers and narrated by renowned actresses such as Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett, and Meryl Streep.

Organized regularly, ADB Youth Dialogues strengthen youth participation in policy discourse and enhance partnerships between ADB, civil society organizations (CSO’s), and youth-led CSO’s as important stakeholders of Asia’s continuing development.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World! Who doesn't?

I guess that is why we love singing that song because it has a deeper interpretation aside from the catchy tune and the meaningful lyrics. Who doesn't know the singers behind that iconic song? Unless you were just born today, you've probably heard one of their famous songs already, and you have to admit that you would get the LSS (Last Song Syndrome) after hearing any of their songs, especially the chorus part.

The Tears for Fears are an English New Wave band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Their music has caught the attention of this Mad World and has continued (and will continue) to play their music for everyone's enjoyment.

I grew up with their music, and their MTVs, and I have to say that I appreciate their music very much!

Wazzup Pilipinas is happy to announce that we are a proud online media partner of the Generic Mamaw Presents Tears For Fears event happening this October 30 at Route 196. The Tears for Fears party starts at 10 pm until 2 am the following morning!!!!
