Areeya Belle L. Cruz: Miss Tourism World Philippines Candidate from Pasig City

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Meet one of the candidates for Miss Tourism World Philippines 2014. She is Areeya Belle L. Cruz, 20 years old from Barangay Maybunga of Pasig City. Since I live in the same barangay, I guess it is but appropriate that I support the candidate coming from our turf. Who else should help each other but our very own "ka-barangay."

Areeya Belle is currently a 4th year Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) located at Sta. Mesa Manila. She is currently a Training Director (Catwalk Trainor) at the PUP Icons (organization) under the University Center for Culture and the Arts (UCCA).

Tourism World Philippines is not just another beauty pageant where girls parade with their swimsuits and evening gowns, the organization aims to support our Tourism Industry in promoting our country to be one of the world destinations.

In response to the government’s call to promote tourism culture and art among Filipinos and other countries, Mr. Francisco Z. Blanco Jr., heeded that call 2 years ago with a main mission to generate awareness and interest in the country’s cultural heritage and uphold the Filipino culture as a source of pride for the Filipina as they gain international recognition. In the continuous mission to uplift the global image of the Philippines and boost local tourism in the country, he then has partnered with 2 brothers in Christ, Bro. Bernard Go and Bro. Jojo Ruiz who believes this could be a great vehicle to make a difference.

Havoc in Manila: Pilipinas Aguilas Friendly Match with the Western Australian Raiders

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Pilipinas Aguilas - National Tackle Football Team of the Philippines presented a test run of its ImPACT (I Am Pilipinas Aguilas Club Training Pool) program last weekend that featured Havoc in Manila, a friendly match with the Western Australian Raiders and a free open football clinic at the Emperador Stadium located in McKinley Hill, Bonifacio Global City (BGC).

The team earlier held a press conference at Skippy’s Bar and Grill at BGC a few days ago to share the program to the members of the media. According to the ATFAP officials who were part of the panel, they are holding the event as part of their commitment to promote the sport and build a program to prepare them and future team members for the 2016 IFAF Asian competition. Anybody, whether Filipino or foreigner, can register and be part of the pool and undergo training to develop their individual fundamentals and skills under the Pilipinas Aguilas.

The Pilipinas Aguilas lost at a previous match last April at Tokyo, Japan mainly because their few months of training does not entirely qualify them as a sufficient force to battle against opponents with several years of advantage. They know that their weakness is the apparent non-existence of significant opportunities for training of existing and potential members. This is why they are very keen in establishing a program that will make the sport easier to access by those who are very much interested to be a part of the team.

The Biggest Beauty, Health, Wellness, Tourism, Job and Business Expo

Wazzup Pilipinas!

What happens when sectors from the beauty, health, wellness, tourism, job and business gather together to give us five significant events under one roof? You get more than what you've expected!

The Beauty, Health, and Wellness Expo is composed of five co-located events will happen for three days from August 28 to 30 at the SMX Convention Center of the  Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City. The opportunities offered at these events should not be missed by all concerned with our overall welfare.

At a press conference held last August 12, 2014 at the Blackboard restaurant of the Podium located in Ortigas Center, the panel was composed by Clinica Manila CEO and PCCI Regional NCR-Central Sector sector Governor Dr. Hernando Delizo, A.R.M Skin Essentials Corporations Sales Manager Alma Dizon, Global Medical Technology Manila Inc., VP for Sales and Marketing Jojo Alejandrino, Innovation and Concepts Founder and Chairwoman Baby Cruz, Philippine Daily Inquirer AVP for Classified Advertising Jessie Rebustillos, PMAP Director Mitch Guce, Tourism World Philippines Media and Public Relations Director Candy Monasterio-Tuazon, Healthway Medical VP for Sales and Marketing Carmie De Leon, and Ex-Link Events CEO Michelle Ballesteros.

It would be interesting to see how things will unfold when our fellow men all gain access to a multitude of possibilities to network and interact with these businesses. Many of us have become firm with the acceptance that a great outlook in life begins with healthy living. Everything else becomes easy when we are free of stress and sickness, or when we at least know how to control or moderate our lifestyle towards a better  and healthier life.

You won't find any other event as similar and as big and comprehensive as this one. Everyone is looking forward to several days of informative, entertaining and beneficial events.
