The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) awarded on 30 September 2013 infrastructure contracts for the execution of various civil works at four (4) airports in the Visayas and Mindanao.

The contract for the Semi-Permanent Airport Terminal Project at the Puerto Princesa Airport was awarded to D.G. Sarmenta Construction in the amount of P 21,495,653.43, which is lower than the bid ceiling of P 22,682,431.07.

“This will improve passenger convenience by allowing the airport to meet increasing tourist arrivals in the meantime that long-term upgrades are being done,” said DOTC Spokesperson Migs Sagcal. “We are aiming for this to be up by summer next year.”

Walker Underwear Philippines Rips off Baybayin Font

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Seems like a trend that people and businesses in the Philippines don't respect intellectual property.

Walker Underwear stole my Baybayin artwork recently. They refused to make a public apology and threatened to take it to court. They took down their FB page with the photos after my supporters and I called them out."- Kristian Kabuay, Filipino Calligraphy Artist

I am reposting the article below to help share the news:

I’ve been ripped off again. This time by Walker Underwear from the Philippines. They used my Baybayin font that’s of my personal handwriting their “Extreme Collection:Baybayin”

I noticed it when some celebrity Teejay Marquez posted it on Instagram. I bust my ass traveling the world for free promoting Baybayin and Philippine culture out of my own pocket. This blatant disregard of my work will not be tolerated. I think it’s a great idea for Baybayin underwear but all they had to do was ask.

I’m sure they’ll come back and say our designer did it or it’s the fault of the freelancer. There was no note, we just downloaded it from the internet so we assume it was free. We never heard of you, etc. All lame excuses. If there’s any doubt of the origin of the art, they should know that they have to make an attempt to investigate.

There will be a display of decent Mixed-Media works by Jeho Bitancor at Kanto Artist Run Space, on October 19, 2013 at 7 pm.

Having lived in the US for six years with neither milk nor honey (as the artist relies on his income outside the country), Jeho Bitancor reflects on the Dollar Tree store which is a veritable source of basic necessities for the less-privileged.

He parodies consumerism itself and contemporary art practice by treating the store as both junkyard and minefield from where to gather inspiration and materials alike.

Opening will be Oct 19 and exhibition will run until Nov 3.

Sweat to Accomplishment :)

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Sweat--- a common used to everyone and known as to labor or exert oneself so as to cause perspiration. This story has relevance with sweat or perspiration. Prepare yourself for a tiring and exciting story of achievement.

It all started when our MAPEH teacher, Ser Gabby, announced that there will be an Aero dance Competition between the sections present on our batch. It’s the second time that we are to join this contest and anticipate that other sections will grab the bacon since they were the winners last season.

Although we look forward that we will not win the fight however, we still encourage ourselves since this will be the last time we are to join this Aerodance Competition.
