Wazzup Pilipinas : The Humble Beginnings of a Top Emerging Influential Blog

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"I keep telling myself "Don't let anybody tell you that you're doing things all wrong when you know that things are doing great for you. If you listened to the others telling you to hold back and keep a low profile, you wouldn't be enjoying the perks and benefits right now."

Yeah, there may be some hiccups along the way but that's normal for a struggling noobie whose adventure along unpredictable paths has just began. One thing for sure is that I'm headed to only one direction and on my way to a brighter future - and nobody can stop me no matter how hard they try!!!"

Ironically, those who are saying that it is not a good trait to rant online are the ones who also rant against fellow bloggers. They don't even have the guts to identify themselves and hiding behind an "Anonymous" identity. We are not asking them to side with a fellow blogger, We are asking them to hear us out first before coming up with conclusions.

Wazzup Pilipinas was ranting against an establishment that tried to go cheap-O with bloggers, but there's this group of bloggers that are now ranting against Wazzup Pilipinas, and also trying to humiliate the bloggers associated with the blog or community. We must announce that the bloggers invited to the event had no knowledge of any of the arrangement between Wazzup Pilipinas and the owners of the establishment. These bloggers should not be dragged along with the issue.

Libreng Tawag in 3 sites in Iloilo now up

Globe Telecom was able to reconnect the province of Tacloban with the rest of the world with 1 cellsite serving critical communication requirements of the local government units and agencies involved in disaster response and coordination efforts. The temporary site was put up near Hotel Alejandro along Paterno St. in Tacloban. Tacloban was among the hardest hit provinces of Typhoon Yolanda and the last isolated area where Globe mobile signals were fully disrupted.

Globe said that restoration efforts are being accelerated in the Visayas region with the assistance of government units like the Phil. Air Force and the Phil. Navy who lent assistance in providing transport requirements for heavy network equipment that are being airlifted or shipped to critical sites including Tacloban.

Around 26 sites from Calbayog, Samar to northern Samar have also been repaired and brought back to operations. Of the total sites affected including those in southern Luzon and Mindanao, 471 sites, or 30% of total affected sites have already been restored. In the Visayas region, close to 20% of all 2G/3G sites affected have been restored.
