K-Pop Idol Search Pinoy Edition: Ready to Invade the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I guess everyone is now joining the bandwagon of entertainment specifically on the influence of Korean fashion and entertainment in our country. It was surprising to receive an invitation from a government-managed television station announcing a reality contest whose aim is to search for K-Pop Idols.

Apparently, they partnered with a group from Korea to produce a new reality show on television to attract all K-Pop die-hard fans out there which are really huge. The figures are shocking and to learn that teens and the younger years are very much into the fad, then it will spell success to the partnership's endeavors.

The People's Television Network (PTV 4) invited members of the media for the press launch of the K-Pop Idol Search (KIS) - Pinoy Edition last February 7 at Makati Shangri-La Hotel to witness its partnership with HBKOR in producing KIS-Pinoy.

Mr. Kim Jung Su, president of HBKOR, Inc. made a ceremonial toast with Cleo Dongga-as, General manager of the People's Television Network to symbolize the bonding of the partnership.

DOTC: MRTH-II Must Explain Why It Has Not Improved MRT-3

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Reacting to a statement issued by Metro Rail Transit Holdings II, Inc. (MRTH-II) last Friday, 7 February 2014, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is demanding that the company explain to the public why it has not improved services at the MRT-3 system, despite the badly-needed addition of Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) for many years.

“MRTH-II owes us all an explanation. If they admit to having the responsibility for adding LRVs to the MRT-3 line, why haven’t they done anything all these years? Instead, they have forced MRT riders to suffer for so long,” said DOTC Spokesperson Michael Arthur Sagcal.

In the statement, MRTH-II claimed to own 100% of the Metro Rail Transit Corporation (MRTC), which owns the facilities of MRT-3. As owner of MRTC, MRTH-II claimed that it has the right to add LRVs to the MRT-3, not the DOTC. It even said this can be done in a timely manner.

While the MRTC Board of Directors has denied authorizing the filing of the suit to stop the addition of train coaches, MRTH-II filed the case in its capacity as shareholder or owner of MRTC.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

With much excitement Sugarleaf announces its learning activities for the first half of 2014. Join us in any or all of our activities.

More than juicing, Juice Therapy! A workshop by Sugarleaf on 8 March, 230 to 430pm at Sugarleaf Makati and 22 March at Sugarleaf Greenhills

Juicing will be the IN thing this 2014 and is expected to stay unlike fad and yoyo diets that usually don't work and leave one feeling deprived.

Join us in a fun interactive two-hour workshop on juicing at Sugarleaf Makati with our resident Juice Therapist Rman Lorenzo who created Juice Therapy or JT, a smarter more sustainable approach to juicing.

JT is the result of much research on the health benefits of juicing (more than just detox and weight loss) and combining organic and naturally grown fruits and vegetables into delightfully delicious and colourful elixirs.
