Indio Performs Wazzup Pilipinas Cover

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Thank you to Indio for coming up with an awesome cover of the Wazzup Pilipinas jingle or theme song.

We are excited to see this group soon at their EP (Extended Play) launch, and personally meet the members composed of 4 boys and their female vocalist, Jen Darlene Torres.

INDIO x CIELO EP launch under Tambayan Productions will be held on June 11, 2016 at 888 Vibers Bar and Resto together with other indie local bands and some artists. Time to be there is at 7 pm so don't be late. Two of the new aspiring local bands in the Philippines, Indio and Cielo, have conspired together with Tambayan Productions to launch their songs.

"It hasn't been long since we started to dream for this to happen. Music has been our passion and ultimately, it has become an anti-depression, a way for broken people to express, a way to heal, and gigs have become a venue to escape from reality. We dream to inspire people, to touch them with our songs, and rock the world with hope. So we hereby, invite you to come along with us to fulfill these dreams." - Indio

Indio is an alternative-rock band formed in November 2015 whose songs tell about the consequences of dreaming. One is, Habagat Amihan, a folk rock song about fate, desires ultimately turning to a hurricane that leads to shattering. Two: Sino Ka, about not knowing yourself anymore. And three, Alexis, the believing and doubting of the self's ability to succeed. They believe that songs are stories, real ones, and should convey something that can cause a revolution. The young band currently consists of lead vocalist Jen Darlene Torres, bassist Alfredo Tan, drummer Niño Miguel Abesamis, and guitarists Ryan Alexis Abesamis and Al Bryan Zabala. They dream to rock the world with hope.

Galactic Mission 7: May The Force Be With Your Kids

Wazzup Pilipinas!

May the force be with you.

We often heard this line in the famous movie saga of all time which is Star Wars. The characters like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and Princess Leia are very popular especially to those fanatics of this epic movie. Well how about to celebrate a birthday with a Star Wars theme? That’s fantastic isn’t?

Last Sunday, May 31, 2016, Galactic Mission 7 was held at the Roof deck of Prestige Tower, Ortigas Center. The said event is not only a Bloggers Event but also a Family Summer Party. From registration, all the staff where in costume and even the host, the charming Ms. Mary Viernes in her Jedi Rey costume. There are some products display outside, a photo booth and the guest where given a loot bags from the sponsors.

Generous and sumptuous foods were served for the guest. For the usual party, there’s a popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream, taho and candy buffet that the kids really enjoyed. The whole event is full of fun and surprises. Lots of raffle, games and prizes was given away. Kids were able to make a lightning sword, beading, coloring a book, watching a magic treats and reading session. Everyone experience a Galactic one and bring home treats from the generous sponsors.

Congratulations to the winners of Generation East 2016 grand coronation held on the afternoon of June 4, 2016 at the Entertainment Center of Building 3 of Sta. Lucia Mall.

Generation East is the longest teenage model search in the country where young men and women get to shine brighter and bolder by showcasing their beauties befitting to be young king and queens of the modelling industry. We'll soon see these faces at many modeling gigs and stints whether it be on print ads, TV commercials or product endorsements. For sure, the search will be their stepping stone to a greener pastures ahead.
We all appreciate beauty at its finest thus we witness a lot of beauty pageants in the country to highlight the appreciation. From modest to extravagant beauty queen or hunk searches, every one of us look not only in the superficial beauty of a person thus there are also Talent and Question and Answer portions for some of them that are added to the overall points for candidates. We also see a lot of special awards to recognize other worthy attributes like best in swimsuit, best in long gown, and most friendly otherwise known as the Miss Congeniality award.

Overall, we believe this searches or competition aims to elevate our appreciation for beauty as it inspires men and women to not only look their best but also to develop their personalities deep within.

"Here we go again, few more hours and the lights will be out, the music needs to stop. In my kind of life I'm grateful I get to learn and create. But the most perfect part is I meet people, people that are like family. For every competition I make dreams, I see friendship grows and I see smiles that are priceless, more than any money can buy. To all my 2016 Generation East Finalists, this is what you are to me thank you for the memories and for me you are all Winners!" - Richard Gavin Gustilo

The longest teenage model search, Generation East 2016 had a Flores de Mayo parade of models on May 21, 2016 at Sta. Lucia Mall.

Since May has been the season for extravagant and festive Flores de Mayo events, we see several of these celebrations all throughout the month of May. The month has truly been a sight to behold. This is when the loveliest of our ladies all come out and show off what they are made of.

Young and vibrant men and women paraded in ever evolving-designed Barong Tagalog outfits and Filipiniana long gowns, respectively. A lot of designers are also taking advantage of these events to showcase their creations. They are all both breathtaking that every individual would wish they get the chance to wear these awesome outfits.

A lot of smiles were definitely all over the venue as we saw several of these Generation East 2016 candidates looking so fabulous amidst a crowd of well-wishers and even those mall-goers had to stop for a while to admire these attractive men and women flaunt their superbly-designed Philippine costumes.

I am more inclined to get fascinated with the ladies on how they carry their lavish gowns, while I envy the men who escort these beauties with all their splendor. We would like to congratulate them for being so elegant and awe-inspiring.

"The scenic Quirino Bridge is named after the late former President, Elpidio Qurino, 6th President of the Philippines, and it spreads across the Abra river connecting the rocky mountain slopes of the town of Santa and the tail end of Bantay. Otherwise referred to as ‘Banaoang bridge’, it majestically connects and separates two transcending mountains and widely praised because of its marvelous engineering and grand architectural design as glorified by its splendid panoramic beauty, strength and durability when it survived the bombings of World War II."

An important landmark of Ilocandia, this 456-meter bridge is also called Banaoang Bridge as it's located in Barangay Banaoang, Santa, Ilocos Sur. It is no longer used and replaced with a newer bridge that also connects the towns of Santa and Bantay.

The scenic arch bridge is considered an iconic symbol of Ilocos Sur. It is famous for its excellent engineering, architectural design and magnificent views. At the height of a strong typhoon in 2001, one of its steel spans was damaged and washed away. It is currently preserved as a tourist attraction, doubling as a backup in case the main bridge is damaged by typhoons.

You get a picturesque view of the bridge with the Abra mountain backdrop that you would not dare stop to capture this on camera, or video, to immortalize the memory.

Congratulations to the winners of Miss Global Philippines 2016 during the Coronation Night held on June 5, 2016 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Resorts World Manila

Grand Winner:
Candidate #19 CJ Hirro

Runners-up:
Candidate #23 Perlyn Ocampo
Candidate #21 Janelle Olafson
Candidate #15 Sammie Anne Legaspi
Candidate #10 Christine Horstman

Camille Jensen "CJ" Hirro, host, model, writer, and artist who graduated from UP Diliman and hails from the province of Pampanga, broke the traditional or conventional look for a beauty queen who usually has the long silky hair hair. It seems Miss Global Philippines is very open to the new definition of a woman. We've all seen and heard CJ as the short-haired Binibini, that unconventional beauty who joined Binibining Pilipinas on 2014. Now, she's the grand winner of Miss Global Philippines 2016.

We were not surprised because she's also witty and a great speaker who knows how to express herself clearly and with convincing passion. She has been a stand-out ever since she joined the beauty pageant and has been a favorite among photographers. She's also so easily approachable and you would see her smile a lot every time. These socially warm traits are really appealing for everyone that we really want to see her shine in her future endeavors.

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.
