Miss Philippines Earth 2016 Talent Competition Winners

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Congratulations to the winners of the Miss Philippines Earth 2016 Talent Competition held on June 3, 2016 at Green Sun Hotel in Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati city.

WINNERS:

Gold - City of Alaminos
Silver - Piat, Cagayan
Bronze - Sta. Barbara

Not only are our candidates smart, beautiful and sexy, they also have their corresponding admirable talent that would make them the embodiment of real beauty - both inside and out.

Beauty is skin deep and would not last but talent can be developed and mastered to perfection. It is always a very good complement to have some form of talent to show off while maintaining a good posture and health. Whether it's some awesome hard-hitting karate moves, or a melodious ballet recital, or even a belting singing act, you'd be mostly impressed to see these performed by pretty looking ladies.

Congratulation again to all these beauties, especially the winners, who deserve an applause.

Real Estate Presentation Tips from Miriam Quiambao-Roberto

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Beauty Queen, Celebrity, Entrepreneur and Licensed real estate broker Miriam Quiambao-Roberto bares the secrets of her success in real estate.

An important aspect of being a real estate professional is presentation. Whether it is showing a home to a potential buyer or renter, or helping owners understand how to get their property sold the quickest while helping them get the most out of the deal, the job involves a great deal of convincing.

Unfortunately for some, this is a part of the profession that is most difficult to master. A common mistake is being too salesy, while others tend to be a little dull as they present. The most unforgivable, however, is doing so unprepared and coming across as unprofessional.

While it does take time to get the hang of it, making presentations is not an extensive science, and as former beauty queen turned successful real estate broker, investor, and property manager Miriam Quiambao-Roberto would attest, it actually comes down to a few basics.

The first runner-up of the Miss Universe Pageant in 1999 and host of shows like The 700 Club Asia and Philippine Realty TV shares some presentation habits she practices in business and media that are just as effective in real estate dealings.

Myproperty.ph explains what is a prenuptial agreement and why couples about to get married should have one.

Many couples who are into their nth year (even month) of being together decide to get married because they feel, in all aspects, that they’re ready for the responsibility. Mentally, they believe it’s the most logical next step once they’ve reached a certain point in their relationship. Emotionally, they think they’re mature enough to have kids. And then there’s the I’m-not-getting-any-younger physical aspect. But if all you’ve done in the financial aspect is get stable jobs and save enough money to live off of, you might also want to consider getting a prenuptial agreement.

To most Filipinos, nothing puts a damper on the romantic idea of marriage like a prenuptial agreement. Because it’s a legal contract of how assets will be divided between husband and wife in the event of a separation, they think it’s like anticipating that the union will eventually end, which then kills the romance. But the reality is, money is one of the biggest issues that put a strain on a marriage, which is what makes a prenup even more essential.

So, who needs a prenuptial agreement?

Whether it’s on the toughest terrains or the darkest places on earth, Discovery Channel has the kind of adventure you are looking for all this month.

The Island with Bear Grylls returns for a second series, but this time the ultimate survival experiment will attempt to discover whether British women - as well as men - have what it takes to survive when pushed to the limits of human endurance. 14 British women will be abandoned on one remote desert island in the Pacific Ocean, while 14 British men will inhabit another, separate island. This time, the survival challenge will be harder and longer than before, as the castaways attempt to survive entirely on their own wits for six gruelling weeks at the height of the tropical storm season. Will modern day men and women still have what it takes to survive? The Island with Bear Grylls premieres June 7, airing Tuesdays, at 9PM.

Two survivalists have two very different ideas about what it takes to survive. In the new season of Dual Survival, they'll take on some of the planet's most unforgiving terrain to demonstrate, in their own way, how the right skills and some creative thinking can keep you alive. Dual Survival premieres June 14, airing Sundays at 8PM.

And in the new season of Trailblazers, the quest to expand the boundaries of human knowledge draws scientists to explore ever deeper, taking them into the darkest places on earth. Death waits at every turn, but protecting them from danger are the Trailblazers -- members of a brotherhood of elite survivalists who are sworn to keep every expedition safe, risking their lives to ensure everybody makes it in, completes their mission and gets back out alive. Trailblazers premieres June 27, airing Mondays at 10PM

Fuel-Saving Good Habits from Michelin

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Saving on fuel expense is an important priority nowadays. When you save gas, you don’t just improve your gas mileage and save more money, you also reduce your environmental impact. Thankfully, some clever fuel-saving moves – like reducing vehicle load and properly inflating tires –can really make a difference. Michelin shares some tips with you to help you making your trips safer and wallet-friendlier.

1. Plan your trips well and cut down on them, if you can.

Try to schedule all your errands and tasks in just one big car trip. Starting a car that’s been parked a long time uses a whole lot of fuel for the first eight kilometers or so. Running different unplanned trips a day can cost you bigtime. Think of carpooling too, if you seriously want to save on fuel.

2. Let the traffic ease up before you go.

Getting caught in a traffic jam is a waste of fuel. First gear and second gear driving use up fuel the most. If you have to go out during rush hour, travel steadily at a slow speed and avoid accelerating and braking. Always anticipate what the driver ahead of you is doing.

3. Reduce vehicle weight.

A loaded car burns more fuel. Do not store heavy equipment, tools, and other unnecessary items in your trunk. Extra luggage on top of the roof increases the wind resistance of your car and makes it use up more gas. Remove the roof rack, bull bar and other accessories when not in use.

World Series of Fighting – Global Championship (WSOF-GC) has announced a heavyweight championship main event for their next event, which also marks their first Global event in Philippines on July 30, 2016. The match up will pit WSOF Global Champion, Russia’s Evgeny Erokhin (14-4), vs WSOF Global #1 Contender, USA’s Richard “The Black Eagle” Odoms (11-2).

Evgeny Erokhin won the inaugural WSOF Global World Heavyweight Championship back on February 7 in Tokyo, Japan, with a first round TKO victory over former Bellator contender, Brandon Cash. Evgeny brings an impressive win streak into the decagon with nine straight wins via knockout, including wins over Brett Rogers, Mike Kyle, Jeff Monson, and Tim Hague.

Richard Odoms made his debut with WSOF Global in Tokyo in February and was on hand to witness Evgeny win his championship. Odoms had a very powerful first round KO stoppage, flattening Japan’s Yusuke Kawaguchi in the first round with a knee to the head. Odoms has won three straight fights, with two of those wins coming by first round KO/TKO.

An interesting fact about each of these warriors is that when they aren’t training, they protect and serve with their respective police forces at home. Evgeny is a police officer in Khabarovsk, Russia; while Richard wears the badge in San Antonio, Texas.

“We have been focusing a lot of our efforts in early 2016 working with our affiliates in nine countries on five continents. We continue to build that program successfully. UGB-MMA in Philippines was our very first affiliate and paved the way for others. It just makes sense that Philippines would be the right market for us to put on our next big event,” lamented WSOF-GC Owner, Dunesa Hesser. “Not only will we be bringing fighters from across the globe to this event, but we will be highlighting some of UGB’s talented fighters as well.”

We know why men are going loony over her because we are equally can't get our eyes off of her!

She's the teen goddess that no wonder Billy Crawford has the ever-burning hots for her. From the professional photo shoots for magazines to the personal social media shout outs, her pictures will definitely launch a thousand ships filled with men ready to to on a cruise with her.

I would be as sweaty as she is on her Le Touessrok Resort, Mauritius shots every time I imagine trying hard to get the nerves to even say "Hello" or numb on the knees when glimpses of her Preview, Metro and Bench shoots come into mind. She is truly the embodiment of sexy that how I wish she had a twin or I'm Billy instead.

But there's very few celebrities who would fall for ordinary guys like us since most of them will also be looking for the hunky guys to complement their gorgeous looks. Oh boy, their offspring will be like the most beautiful individuals to inhabit the Earth. I wouldn't mind mingling with more pretty creatures.

Congratulations Danielle Claudine "Coleen" Ortega García, or Coleen Garcia for short, for being among the most adorable face and body in Philippine showbiz. I have to admit that I see her as the prettier young lady in the It's Showtime noontime show. She was the only reason I had endured the harsh jokes of the leading comedian there. She always had the angelic face, innocent smile and youthful image that vibrantly shines outward from our TV.

Otherwise known as the headbanging lead vocalist Ramona Thornes of the alternative rock band Philia, Ramona Cecilia Datuin Muñoz, or widely recognized as Arci Munoz in the TV industry, oozes in sexiness during her summer beach visit in El Nido, Palawan. She later on follows the beach vacay with a trip to Puca Beach in Boracay, Aklan. Now that's a babe in two of the beautiful beaches of the Philippines.

The "Artista sa Umaga, Rakista sa Gabi" star easily flaunts her beautiful body because she has it! I would imagine all ladies with a body like hers would dare not not hide it under their clothes but openly take pride in showing off their well-sculpted and blessed body.

We've seen her amazing magazine covers at Metro magazine where they describe her as the Brave, Bold and Beautiful bikini shots posted Super Woman wearing nothing but a red and blue garment with splashes of yellow all over. Though we only see her adorable back and lengthy legs, she was still oozing in sex appeal. Plus there's Mega magazine and Inside Showbiz also helping in catapulting her career.

Pasion de Amor, Always be my Maybe, etc., has made her a recognizable star that many would be able to identify her immediately among a large crowd. She would surely stand out, loud and proud, day or night, we love our Arci!

Below are some of her bikini shots she posted on her Instagram account. Enjoy!
