Mali Is Suffering But The Good News Is She's On Her Way to Zoobic Safari

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The photo above was posted online by GMA Network News Online last February 2013 and I decided to repost this when I saw photos of Mali (The Asian elephant who was stolen from her family at 3 years old and imprisoned at the Manila Zoo in the Philippines) on a Facebook friend's timeline along with a status that shares his imaginary conversation with the the elephant.

PETA has caled for the transfer of the Mali from Manila Zoo to a sanctuary in Thailand. They insisted that Mali is in a wretched state given that her enclosure is too small for her. She was even suffering from some kind of foot disease and from “profound loneliness” having no other elephant companion in decades.

Indeed, Mali is by her lonesome at the Manila Zoo, with no other elephant to give her companionship or an opportunity to mate with other elephants. Mali has been held at the zoo for 36 long years, 33 of them completely alone. But Dr. Donald Manalastas, Manila Zoo's Zoological Division chief, said before that the trip to Thailand may be dangerous to the pachyderm's health since the long distance transportation will be very stressful to the "fairly old" animal.

But I've heard news that Mali will be transferred instead to another zoo, but bigger and better, that's also located wihtin the Philippines. Is that better news or not?

Steak Spree Thursday at Diamond Hotel Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Diamond Hotel Philippines dares to unleash the carnivore in you. Get ready to partake of lovely slabs of meat (heavy chunks of beef with good marbling) that were seasoned and seared to perfection and tenderly cooked over a flame at their Steak Spree Thursday dinner night at Corniche, the hotel's elegant restaurant located at the lobby level.

The restaurant showcases a grand buffet with cuisines from different parts of the world (Western, Mediterranean, Japanese, and many more from Asia and the Pacific) matched with an impeccable service from the restaurant attendants that could all be at your beck and call starting at 6 pm dinner time.

We tried three varieties of medium rare cooked steaks and they were all quite fascinatingly tender, juicy and delish at every bite. The beef was firm, but not tough, and packed with flavor. Honestly, you don't need any special sauce or gravy to perk up the taste. They were all good on their own but you could probably sprinkle a little sea salt to draw in the flavor if you're the type who prefers their steak a bit salty. Every slice of the steak comes away smoothly without much effort from the knife. It was indeed a memorable steak experience as I could still nibble the taste off my tongue like I've just eaten it.

Mocha Wears a Nun Outfit While Blowing a Condom

Wazzup Pilipinas!"After going full frontal in Playboy Philippines last year, intrepid singer-actress Mocha Uson has courted controversy again with her latest magazine pictorial. The frontwoman of the Mocha Girls donned a nun’s costume and blew a condom for the Freedom of Expression Issue of the free advocacy magazine Isda, to be released in September." - Interaksyon

Mocha clarified that she does not mean to offend the religious sector.

“Sa ibang bansa nga ginagawa ito… Basically it’s for the love of the arts. And well kung mag ingay man ito it just means na art is now dead in the Philippines,” she argued.

“Ito na siguro ang pinaka-wholesome ko na photo shoot pero artistic, avant-garde,”

"Woman, your logic is so flawed it's not even funny.

I'm trying to understand the logic. How does a picture of a nun blowing up a condom give off the message of safe sex? Spare us from trash like this!" says a Facebook friend.
