Yabang Pinoy Launches PHmade: “It’s Worth Buying For”

Yabang Pinoy intensifies its consumer revolution campaign through the PHmade movement.

The pioneering Filipino pride movement, through PHmade, yet again encourages Filipinos to support Filipino ideas, business concepts, products, and services. The campaign aims to educate Filipinos, through videos, print materials and events, on the availability and viability of Filipino brands, and on the positive impact that going local contributes to the economy.

PHmade’s tagline “It’s Worth Buying For” encourages each Filipino to think twice before spending: is it really worth buying for? Yabang Pinoy believes that small things, when done together, can create a big difference. If each Filipino became conscious of where he spends one peso, he will understand how each choice affects himself, fellow Filipinos, and the country. PHmade also aspires to influence Filipino entrepreneurs into supporting local natural and human resources.

Young men with very high hopes for a promising career in the music industry

There's a new band in the Metro, or should I say "boy" band, for the band members are truly young - in fact they're all still in school!

Creating a buzz in the local music scene, for now, but soon even international (if they get lucky), are four young teens in their college years composed of Roberto Sena (plays the guitar and is the lead vocal and likes to be called by his last name), Anjo Silvoza (bass), Andrew Panopio (guitar) and King Puentespina (drums).

Metrowalk for us means all-night drinking and partying in the heart of Ortigas. It is a small but a major dining, shopping, and entertainment hub in Pasig strategically located near the call centers and offices of the Ortigas Center located at the corner of Meralco and Ortigas Avenues. This makes it a favorite dining and clubbing hangout for both international businessmen and the local working class.

Its also the best place to dine as the food is surely comparable, if not better, than what the best restos in town have to offer. Most especially at night when the ambiance is laden with music from a live band playing your all-time favorite songs.

Check out the sumptuous delicacies we partook in a night of fun and camaraderie with friends and colleagues from work. You have to personally try them out to believe me.

Yummy Macapuno From PhilHybrid

I've got to tell you about this Macapuno brand that I discovered during an event that I attended a few days ago. Believe me, its the best Macapuno I've tasted so far....and very much willing to have some more of it even if I have to pay this time.

Yes! I got a taste of the delicious Macapuno for free, and Oh, boy was I very lucky. It was the best thing that ever lay on my taste buds. It was also pretty good on our favorite bread whether the "tasty" or the "pandesal", and even the "monay".

Mikey Bustos Filipino Social Media Tutorial

Wazzup? Pilipinas!

Funny YouTube video sensation Mikey Bustos is out with a new video entitled "Filipino Social Media Tutorial".

The video is a funny satire of social media issues relevant to the Filipinos in general.

Mikey talked about Anne Curtis being the most "followed" Filipino celebrity for having the most number of followers reaching more than 3 million already.

He said "She should run for President". Indeed , 3 million plus votes is almost a grand slam. Add to the fact that Filipinos are more attracted to the popularity of the candidate rather than the educational background, leadership capability, and moral beliefs.

Seattle's Best Coffee Holiday Drinks Launch

It’s that time of the year again! Seattle’s Best Coffee is launching its new Holiday drinks: Cookies & Mint, Coffee Hazelnut, Caramel Apple, and Espresso Jelly with the much awaited 2013 Dream Journal in partnership with World Vision!

Do check out the locally organized talks and events about social media. For sure, you will not be disappointed because we have many innovative and experienced social media gurus out there, plus a few cool and creative young minds that are emerging out to be great “influencers” of our ultra-modernized society.

There is no doubt on my mind that social media and the Internet, and everything else in between and at the edges, are our new tools to help us shape our future to many amazing possibilities. “The future of social media is so bright; I’ve got to wear shades!”

SM Cyberzone Santa Rosa Laguna Launch

Did you know that you can just go to one place in a mall to find the latest gadgets available in the market. You don’t really need to do a lot of canvassing in many places because there’s a place in a mall where all the “tekkie” stores converge. It’s the Cyberzone located in most SM Malls.
The latest of which was recently launched in SM. Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (Please come with me on a journey, siguradong di ka magsisisi), did you know that you can just go to one place in a mall to find the latest gadgets available in the market. You don’t really need to do a lot of canvassing in many places because there’s a place in a mall where all the “tekkie” stores converge. It’s the Cyberzone located in most SM Malls.

The latest of which was recently launched in SM. Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

The above picture was the ribbon cutting led by celebrity-turned politician governor Dan Fernandez, and Arlene Arcillas, Mayor of Sta. Rosa, Laguna. It happened a few minutes after we arrived at the place, so I took some shots while we were waiting for the program to start.

We got there too early while the rest of the organizers where still in the works preparing for the blessing and the program proper. But we were already amazed of the neatness of the place, plus the availability of many stores which caters to almost all your “tekkie” needs.

Computers, gadgets, and whatever “tekkie” – they will surely have it! But let show you some more shots of the preparations done for the program.

Great table centerpiece – flowers in a fish bowl filled with green liquid

Green and white balloons decorate the place – so the color of the day is indeed green and white!

These ladies were there to greet, and charm, all visitors – with their green and white sexy outfits

Globe Telecom store had its own store blessing that day

Saying some prayers for the whole SM Cyberzone, a different priest with some special VIP SM Officials and guests

The priest eventually blessed all the stores in Cyberzone, starting with Xperia, the very first store at the right side of the entrance. Other stores in Cyberzone include TechnoKid, Globe, Green Telcom, CompLink, ComWorks, Memo Xpress, Ink All You Can, Asianic, Samsung, Games and Gadgets, Mega One, PC Express and CD-R King, and many other smaller booths located at the center of the Cyberzone.

We were then greeted by a lot of cosplayers with their fancy costumes mostly of superheroes like Ironman, Thor, Wolverine, Batman plus a lot of Transformers characters.

Cosplayers in superhero costumes pus the Transformers were there as well – Bumblebee visited later that afternoon

Posing with The Batman and Judge Dredd

Special guests and officials of SM then started the program proper of the SM Cyberzone launch
