Digital Life Congress and Expo 2013 : The Latest Tech Innovations in the County

Wazzup Pilipinas!

In the last decade, the pace at which mobile phones spread globally is unmatched in the history of technology. In 2003, 61% of the world's population has mobile cell signal and in 2010, 90% of the world is mobile phone ready. There are now over 6 billion mobile subscriptions worldwide, which means that about 75% of the world now has access to a mobile phone; and 77% of these subscriptions come from developing countries such as the Philippines. It is this technological revolution that powers the objectives of the Digital LiFE Congress and Expo 2013.

Digital LiFE Congress and Expo 2013 will debut as an annual conference and exposition event that is unlike anything that has been experienced before. It will be a huge event that will showcase some of the latest tech innovations to hit our shores. This will happen on November 14 to 16 at the World Trade Center in Pasay city!

Digital LiFE Congress and Expo is an exciting reason for people to meet, discuss and experience cutting-edge technologies in order to present better means to attain a more fulfilling lifestyle. People from various sectors and markets will all gather under the Digital Tree of Life to witness a glimpse of the near future and to participate in the transformation of a vision into reality.

"Ang pinaka-malakas, pinakabago, pinakamatapang na talkshow na makikinig, makikialam at pag-uusapan , BUZZ NG BAYAN. Simula October 20 na!! Hosted by Carmina Villarroel, Janice de Belen and Boy Abunda."

I don't get this. Sorry, pero sobrang sayang ang naipundar na taon ng The Buzz. For the new format of the showbiz talk show that they are now calling "Buzz ng Bayan" ay kulang nalang kunin nila si Gelli de Belen at reunion na ng SiS!

The Buzz said goodbye after 14 years, airing its last episode on October 13, 2013. It will be replaced by Buzz Ng Bayan which will air its first episode next Sunday, Oct. 20.

Boy Abunda is also the main host of the new showbiz-oriented program, joined by Carmina Villaroel and Janice De Belen.

It’s sad that Toni Gonzaga and Charlene Gonzales didn’t get retained. They were in The Buzz since 2010.

It's heartbreaking for me as a fan of the buzz ever since that it will be replaced by this new program. When Charlene and Toni came in as a new host since 2010, I really liked the show even more because of the credibility of their skills. I mean how could ABS-CBN defunct a show with 14 years of age when it already established its mark and status as the No.1 showbiz authority. Why change the name of the program. I also love the new format but I think, replacing the title of the show is not a good idea
