The Department of Tourism (DOT) and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) unveiled joint plans to redevelop Roxas Boulevard into a park complex by 2015 in a presentation to stakeholders held on 16 August 2013 at the Diamond Hotel.

The event was presided by DOT Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez Jr., DPWH Secretary Rogelio I. Singson, and the architect for the project, Mr. Paulo Alcazaren. It was attended by more than 100 stakeholders from the government, private sector involved in property development and other business establishments located along the boulevard, and media.

“The Roxas Boulevard Park Redevelopment project is a convergence between national government agencies, local government units, and the private sector. This is not just a beautification project. This program will reestablish the importance of Manila as a capital city and enhance the value of property all over the district that it crosses. This is a business plan aimed at restoring and enhancing Manila as a viable capital for tourism and business,” Tourism Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. said.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

With Filipinos being known to be talented and skillful, it is not surprising that RaketMarket.ph, the new online marketplace for Filpinos, is now attracting a lot of followers and new members. The term “raket” is a slang Filipino term for small jobs or extra source of income.

RaketMarket.ph, which was founded by brothers James and Chris Alejandro, aims to help Filipinos make money online through small services and referrals. Their tagline “Kita Tayo!” both invites the online Pinoy to join in and make use of the three different ways to make money on the site: “Kita sa Raket,” “Kita sa Referral,” and “Kita sa Benta.”

“We came up with this idea while formulating a show (with the same title) for AM Radio format.” James Alejandro, who is also a radio broadcaster, told this writer. “We want to create an online market where you can earn from different kinds of rakets and sidelines. Our Raket Ambassador, Tado Jimenez, is a very good example of a working professional who earns extra from an assortment of rakets. You will even see his own posts inside the website. We allow our members to post their services in the Raket section for free. We do not charge service fees or even commissions.”
