Minimal Disruption From Super Typhoon Yolanda

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Super typhoon Yolanda caused minimal disruption on Globe Telecom's operations in central and southern part of the country despite strong winds and heavy rains brought by the weather disturbance.

As of 12 noon Friday, about 20% of the Globe Telecom’s network in the Visayas region has been adversely affected by the super typhoon. The typhoon also caused disruption in about 6% of its network in the Mindanao area, said Robert Tan, Globe Chief Technical Adviser.

The adverse impact on sites in the Visayas region was due mostly to commercial power interruption following strong winds brought by typhoon Yolanda. Some cell sites were also affected by misalignment of antennas due to gusty winds brought by the weather anomaly, Tan said.

Life of a Pascian Student

Wazzup Pilipinas!
 

If you heard the word "Pascian", what is the first thing that will come into your mind?

Many people might think, they are the scholarship students who strive and study hard to maintain their grades, while others might think, they are the students who always act all high and mighty just because they can maintain an average grade that is not lower than eighty-five.

How about you, what is your opinion?...The former or the latter?

When I first heard that I passed the entrance exam and will study in Pasig City Science High School, I had the opposite reaction, instead of being ecstatic and patting myself on the back, I got very sad, and I know you're thinking who in his or her right mind will apply to a school when you have no interest in it. Well in my defense, my mother was the one who pushed me into taking the entrance exam.

I did not expect to pass the exam neither did I expect that I will be fifty-fifth in ranking. But after some thinking I came up with a decision,... why not try it? Maybe there is a reason why I passed the exam.

Hello, FLOW team and participants,

I just want to say that it was such a treat to meet all of you and have such a memorable weekend together. I also am so wow-ed by the FLOW ladies and the mission they have taken to share these delightful life experiences and healthy, fun practices with others. I loved that I could bring my children to enjoy the experience as well - all three of us loved it. I look forward to more adventures and encounters during our time in Philippines and hope I will get to see many of you again. Here is my cell for any who'd like to be in touch: 0917 xxx xxxx.

all the best,

Above is an e-mail message coming from one of the participants who really enjoyed the three-days and two-nights activities prepared by the Flow Surf Yoga Samba La Union organizers namely Noelle, Denise and Monica, along with their supportive and equally talented friends and families -including their adorable kids (not to forget Denise' ever-smiling baby) - who spent the awesome November 1 to 3 event with us at the San Juan Surf Resort in San Juan, La Union.

I've been to the same beach before this same year but this was the best experience so far. The three fun-filled days of surf, yoga and samba was extremely an amazing and entertaining weekend.
