Hawaiian Lowen Tynanes Returns to the Philippines Seeking to Maintain His Family’s MMA Legacy

Mixed martial arts run deep in the Tynanes household. Both his father and brother fight competitively, which sparked Lowen Tynanes’s interest in the sport. Lowen credits his father as his inspiration and the reason he started training. He first came to Asia in 2011, where a then 20-year old Lowen made his professional debut at an event in Nagoya, Japan. He was the first fight of the evening while his father Myles was the main event. Both father and son emerged with victories.

Despite having lived his entire life in the islands of Hawaii, Lowen Tynanes has never competed professionally in his home state. Instead, the majority of his blossoming career was spent competing in Asia having won bouts in Japan, The Philippines and Malaysia. He looks to extend his undefeated streak when he returns at ONE FC: Rise to Power, which takes place May 31st at the MOA Arena.

Following his victory in Japan, he then entered hostile territory when he took on The Philippines’ golden boy Eduard Folayang at a URCC event. He stunned the partisan crowd and emerged with his hand raised after displaying superior wrestling that Folayang simply had no answer to. Following the fight, he admitted he was nervous as it was the first he competed without his father in his corner.

Google released its Philippine elections page, a one-stop online hub for all election-related information such as broadcast and written news, candidate and precinct details, debates, etc. Google has worked with several broadcast and online news stations to develop this page and help make our local and absentee voters more informed come election day. The page can be accessed at www.google.com.ph/elections.

Filipino voters can now visit one site to keep abreast with election news from different media outlets. Broadcast networks ABS-CBN, GMA, PTV, and SOLARtv, and online news portals Rappler, PhilStar.com, Inquirer.net and Interaksyon.com collaborated with Google Philippines to create Google.com.ph/elections. The site is a one-stop online hub for elections-related news and information created to help 53 million Filipino voters, including 700,000 absentee voters abroad, stay updated about the coming polls.

“We want to make sure citizens have a quick access to information to help them make informed decisions on election day,” said Narciso Reyes, Google Philippines Country Manager. “This is part of our commitment to bring to the Filipinos essential information that will make their lives easier and more meaningful.”

Ornamental Freshwater Fishes: A Second Look



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Nemo, Dory, Flounder, Blinky, Mr. Limpet and Mrs. Puff always have a reason to celebrate. Next to dogs and cats, fishes are among the most preferred pet companions by homeowners and animal lovers.

Fishes make great house pets for people who are always on the fast lane and those who barely have enough space for pets to play around, as in the case of dogs and cats. In addition, pet fishes make effective motivational tools to develop children’s love for pets and teach them how to responsibly care for a pet.

It is a fascinating sight for one to see a fish gracefully swaying its tail and dorsal fins as it swims in and around an aquarium. Interestingly, even when left alone, a fish continues to thrive happily in its aquatic home unmindful if the master of the house is in or out to give a look. Moreover, a fish is such a peaceful pet that lives quietly without causing much harm nor irritating noise that could rouse its soundly sleeping owner and his neighbors at dawn or in the middle of the night. A fish simply has a world of its own, so to speak.
