Resolution Recognizing Andres Bonifacio as the First President of the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It's has been long overdue! Wag ng magpatumpik tumpik pa! Give credit to whom credit is due. It's about time. This has been long delayed.

Kung nanonood kayo ng mga documentaries at "Katipunan" sa GMA 7, malamang ay maiintindihan ninyo kung bakit may ganyang usapan na gawing unang presidente si Gat Andres Bonifacio. Kung may pagpapahalaga ka sa pagbabago at hindi basta-basta stagnant, malamang maiintindihan mo ang kahalagahan nito. Nang dahil sa programang "Katipunan" ay marami tayong nalaman tungkol sa buhay ni Andres Bonifacio at may resolution pa na sinusulong na kilalanin siyang naging unang presidente ng Pilipinas.

However, this may lead to a lot of confusion because historians would need to rewrite so many history books, including textbooks from elementary up to college reference books. However, if there are verified historical documents and other evidences then history should and must be corrected. We do not know yet what would be the impact or effect to the Filipino society yet "Dapat lang talagang itama." Worrying about the possible costs it will require to correct our history is stupid.

The Philippine Photo Plagiarist Award of 2013 Goes to BGC

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"A friend of mine contacted me earlier and told me that he saw a picture of mine posted on the website of Bonifacio Global City. I wasn't aware of any people from BGC that asked me if they could use my photos on their site. I checked their site and surprised to see that my "Tatakbo Ka Ba?" picture was used without my knowledge whatsoever. It is really undeniable that this is my shot that they have taken from my Flickr page that I posted last August 30, 2009. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nrmercado/3870203779/ Dear BGC, you cannot hire a photographer? Really?" - Neall Mercado

Just helping share this disappointing act of the BGC official website of using a photo without any form of credit to the real owner.

39th Metro Manila Film Festival: Star-Studded But Too Commercialized?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"What's clear is that the entire film was rushed through production. It's also pretty obvious that people were less concerned about telling a story than selling products. The film regularly stops everything for blatant product placement. Aiza Seguerra shills for Ariel detergent. Bimby Aquino eats a whole plate of Lucky Me Pancit Canton. Vic Sotto teaches us the difference between two kinds of Solmux available in the market. The story starts feeling like an afterthought, its emotional core lost in a wave of vulgar commercialism." - PULPOLitika

Do you agree?

When Vice Ganda was asked if he (or she) preferred a blockbuster hit or a multi-awarded film, the comedian answered "blockbuster".

Isn't it apparent?

No wonder that an action film that chronicles a senator's hours on the run nabbed 14 trophies including the Best Picture award at the 39th Metro Manila Film Festival. "Wala man sa amin ang salapi, na sa amin ang karangalan,"  says actor Robin Padilla.
