Wazzup Pilipinas!

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda’s automobile business unit in the Philippines launches the All New Brio and Brio Amaze at the 5th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) at World Trade Center, Pasay City.

During the opening, HCPI’s President and General Manager, Toshio Kuwahara unveiled to local media the much-anticipated All New Brio (hatchback) and Brio Amaze (sedan). The Brio (Italian for “energetic” and “cheerful”) series, was especially created for the emerging demands of the Asian market – automobiles that will facilitate personal mobility. The Brio model’s development is backed by Honda’s extensive experience in creating compact cars such as the Jazz and City which are examples of the application of Honda’s “man maximum, machine minimum” design concept. While relatively the most affordable car in Honda’s vehicle line-up, the Brio models proudly embody high levels of Honda DQR – durability, quality and reliability.

“These cars were specifically developed to match the evolving needs of our customers,” Kuwahara said at the launch event. “Today, we are revealing Honda's answer to the small car for Filipino motorists. We are joining the small car segment in a big way by setting a new standard with these two vehicles.”

90,000 Visitors Troop the Biggest Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) To Date

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Despite a setback from Tropical Storm Mario, the 5th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) held last Thursday to Sunday, September 18 to September 21, at the World Trade Center was its most successful yet, nearly doubling its foot traffic from the previous PIMS in 2012.

The four-day motoring exhibit closed early on Friday because of heavy rainfall and flooding across the metro. However, the 5th PIMS bounced back during the weekend, closing with over 90,000 visitors that spread across only three and a half days.

This year’s motor show is also the largest in terms of the number of exhibitors with a total of 17 participating car manufacturers and distributors, namely: BAIC, BMW, Daewoo, Honda, Isuzu, JEEP, JMC, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Suzuki, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

“True to this year’s theme of ‘Progress in Motion’, the 5th PIMS is the perfect reflection of the industry’s robust performance in recent years. We at CAMPI are elated at the success of the 5th PIMS and we recognize that this is made possible by the joint support of the CAMPI members and affiliates, our government partners, stakeholders and of course, the general motoring public,” said Atty. Rommel Gutierrez, President of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI), the industry organization behind the biennial event.

NCAA Brawl Between Mapua and EAC: Ball So Hard, Not Brawl So Hard

Wazzup Pilipinas!


The Mapua-EAC scuffle. Wild!

With only 28.5 seconds left in the game, a bench-clearing brawl broke out in this afternoon's Mapua Cardinals vs. EAC Generals game.

Yesterday's horrible and ugly end brawl game between Mapua and EAC has NO place inside the basketball court! But I do hope that kind of violence in the NCAA stays there and does not escalate outside the court. It's really a sad thing to see.

The refs lost control. The refs are a bunch of dickheads. That's what happens when the referees fail to do their freakin' job. It was a clear offensive foul! For not calling that flying elbow. For reacting slow to the situation. One ugly game!

Basketball. Boxing. Pro-Wrestling. 100 m dash. Name it, that NCAA brawl probably had it.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

As part of the Cine Totoo International Documentary Film Festival, “Mananayaw: A Documentary on the Male Ballet Dancer” premieres on September 24, 6:30 PM in SM Megamall. The film will also be screened on September 25, 8:45PM in SM City Manila and September 26, 6:30PM in Trinoma.

Directed by Rafael Froilan, “Mananayaw” features snippets of dancers behind the scenes, illustrating what it takes to become a male ballet dancer. Much is at stake during each performance, and although their careers are some of the most difficult to build, after a single misstep, it can all be over.

“Mananayaw” was produced for the Cine Totoo International Documentary Film Festival by a team of five filmmakers: director and editor Rafael Froilan, writer Beatriz Antonia Carabeo, co-writer/assistant director/production manager Mika Fabella, director of photography Chris Yuhico, and producer/creative consultant Patrick Gutierrez.

Kaspersky Lab: Right on Target with New and Updated Security Products

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Kaspersky Lab has new and updated security products for the Philippine consumers namely the Kaspersky Internet Security for hardcore Internet users, the Kaspersky Anti-Virus for occasional Internet users, and the Kaspersky Internet Security – Multi-Device 2015, which will be currently available only in the Philippines in the entire Southeast Asian region.

"The popularity and affordability of mobile devices as well as the accessibility of Internet has made Filipinos more gadget-loving and Internet-savvy than their regional counterparts that it’s no wonder almost everyone’s going online from their devices here. Unfortunately, this scenario makes Filipinos become increasingly and easily vulnerable to cyber-threats, particularly those using social engineering tactics, through multiple access points," warned Jesmond Chang, Corporate Communications Manager of Kaspersky Lab South East Asia.

At an event dubbed as Kaspersky Lab 2015 Consumer Suite Philipine Media Launch held last September 11, 2014 at the Gandiva Cafe and Archery Range located at teh 7th Floor of One Corporate Center building in Ortigas Center, Kasperky launched the said products, and treated the members of the media to an archery experience as well as a competition to later on reward the winner of the challenge.
