Digital Life Congress and Expo 2013 : The Latest Tech Innovations in the County

Wazzup Pilipinas!

In the last decade, the pace at which mobile phones spread globally is unmatched in the history of technology. In 2003, 61% of the world's population has mobile cell signal and in 2010, 90% of the world is mobile phone ready. There are now over 6 billion mobile subscriptions worldwide, which means that about 75% of the world now has access to a mobile phone; and 77% of these subscriptions come from developing countries such as the Philippines. It is this technological revolution that powers the objectives of the Digital LiFE Congress and Expo 2013.

Digital LiFE Congress and Expo 2013 will debut as an annual conference and exposition event that is unlike anything that has been experienced before. It will be a huge event that will showcase some of the latest tech innovations to hit our shores. This will happen on November 14 to 16 at the World Trade Center in Pasay city!

Digital LiFE Congress and Expo is an exciting reason for people to meet, discuss and experience cutting-edge technologies in order to present better means to attain a more fulfilling lifestyle. People from various sectors and markets will all gather under the Digital Tree of Life to witness a glimpse of the near future and to participate in the transformation of a vision into reality.

"Ang pinaka-malakas, pinakabago, pinakamatapang na talkshow na makikinig, makikialam at pag-uusapan , BUZZ NG BAYAN. Simula October 20 na!! Hosted by Carmina Villarroel, Janice de Belen and Boy Abunda."

I don't get this. Sorry, pero sobrang sayang ang naipundar na taon ng The Buzz. For the new format of the showbiz talk show that they are now calling "Buzz ng Bayan" ay kulang nalang kunin nila si Gelli de Belen at reunion na ng SiS!

The Buzz said goodbye after 14 years, airing its last episode on October 13, 2013. It will be replaced by Buzz Ng Bayan which will air its first episode next Sunday, Oct. 20.

Boy Abunda is also the main host of the new showbiz-oriented program, joined by Carmina Villaroel and Janice De Belen.

It’s sad that Toni Gonzaga and Charlene Gonzales didn’t get retained. They were in The Buzz since 2010.

It's heartbreaking for me as a fan of the buzz ever since that it will be replaced by this new program. When Charlene and Toni came in as a new host since 2010, I really liked the show even more because of the credibility of their skills. I mean how could ABS-CBN defunct a show with 14 years of age when it already established its mark and status as the No.1 showbiz authority. Why change the name of the program. I also love the new format but I think, replacing the title of the show is not a good idea

So you go out on a payday Friday night. You check your payslip and you see your withholding tax - there goes part of your hard-earned money. You pay for parking with 12% EVAT. You buy food and drinks with friends and you pay your bill - with 12% EVAT. The next morning you read the papers, you see how the taxes you paid last night was misused by people you thought you could trust. Dammit.

On October 25, a Friday night at 7 pm, you probably will go out again. Pay for parking, pay for gas, and pay for your weekly dose of Friday night food and drinks - with all those you pay 12% EVAT. BUT YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE DECEIT AND THIEVERY. You want to tell your government that what you will be paying on the night of October 25 should be properly used and should not go to the pockets of those suckers. YOU WILL DO THIS AT THE #PORKTOBERFEST!

BE IN THE KNOW. BE AWARE. BECAUSE YOU OWE IT TO YOUR COUNTRY. Because you can have fun while you learn about your country's issues and while you become part of the solution to your country's problems.

Cebuano-Chinese Richard Yap or more popularly known as “Ser Chief” in the top-rating ABS-CBN noontime teleserye "Be Careful With My Heart," who has become one of the country’s most popular TV personalities. This despite the fact that he already declared that he is already in his 40s, and married with kids. And guess what? “Ser Chief” is now a certified recording artist under Star Records.

Richard Yap’s self-titled debut album is just like their TV series–a feel-good, easy listening collection of tracks composed of nine revivals that were all chosen by ‘Ser Chief’ himself.

The carrier single of the album is “Don’t Know What To Do, Don’t Know What To Say.” Featured in Richard’s solo debut album under Star Records are revivals of “Promise Ain’t Enough,” “Think I’m In Love Again,” “Can Find No Reason,” “You Take My Breath Away,” “Chasing Cars,” “High,” “Afterglow,” and the Chinese version of “Oh Babe.”

The album also carries the bonus tracks “Please Be Careful With My Heart” and “Salamat.”

International singing sensation Charice is loud and proud to share with the world her newest album under Star Records titled “Chapter 10.”

According to Charice, her ‘coming out’ also signaled the start of her musical liberation.

“When I was growing up I was ‘accompanied’ in my sleep up to my waking hour by Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Regine Velasquez and Lea Salonga,” she said. “Now, with the turn of events in my life, I listen more and more to Pink, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake, among others.”

“My new CD marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life. It’s about being free, celebrating my own identity without inhibitions, and becoming strong despite my own limitations,” the world-class singer said. “It’s my take on becoming true to myself to be able to deliver a more honest and heartfelt music to the people who believe in me and my craft. Plus I owe it to God who also loves lesbians like me.”
