Wazzup Pilipinas!

Puerto Galera (Port of the Galleon) is part of "The Most Beautiful Bays" in the world club. Natural beauty, diverse marine life, rich cultural heritage and contribution for local economic activity. Explore what Puerto Galera has to offer at the Malasimbo Music & Arts Festival.

The Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival 2014 has posted its 3rd announcement featuring a lot more local bands added to its already spectacular list of performing artists!

New additions are: Cocojam, Similar Objects, Toto Delgado, Crowns Down, Late Session II, Mellow Submarine, Unlimited Rise and DJ’s Gavin Boyd, Hallex M, Liquid A, Mikail and Japoy!

We are really so excited to join the festival on February 27 up to March 3, 2014. Let's all celebrate music, arts and nature at the Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We keep on growing bigger and better that we thought we should also enhance everything else that makes up Wazzup Pilipinas, including making a few revisions on our logo. We removed the coconut tree (that we felt was partially blocking the sun and we're also slowly getting rid of the nut-jobs looming around our community), improved the rays of the sun (made it more dynamic and non-proportional to symbolize the uniqueness of each community member), removed the white lines to make the logo more transparent (as we are also making our group more open to each other), made the symbols "W" and "P" close together (to represent our well-bonded camaraderie)...and there you have it!!!

We have an improved and enhanced new logo for Wazzup Pilipinas, the self-proclaimed "Ang Pambansang Blog Ng Pilipinas" (The National Blog of the Philippines) - the multi-awarded Filipino community blog that has received recognitions as "Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2013", "Most Outstanding Filipino Community Blog Site of 2013", and soon at a formal awarding at the Manila Hotel on March 22, 2014 - the "Best Filipino Community Blog Site of 2013" (I haven't even announced the fourth award yet - that's reserved for another blog post).

Incidentally, and also one of the real reasons why we revised the logo, we are turning one year old on March 22 - Yup! The exact same date when we are supposed to receive our third recognition is our First Year Anniversary!.

Our domain name expires on March 22, but do not fret because we have already renewed it as early as last week. It was such a strange coincidence that the domain expiration and the awarding will happen both at the same day. Like it was meant to be - perfect timing for a big double celebration!!!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The long wait is finally over, as Havaianas, the makers of the world's most loved and famous flip-flops, will be making the Philippine debut of the Havaianas Origine.

All hail to the latest product extension of Havaianas to land our shores! These pairs are the newest innovation from the brand that will let you rediscover its heart and soul, allowing you to wander freely on the grounds of fun, fashion, color and excitement this season.

Being brought into the country for the first time, these equally-chic pairs of espadrilles from Brazil are set to make waves. Havaianas Origine swanks off the iconic buttery-soft rubber base matched with different colored canvass to cover the feet.

Made of 100% cotton uppers, these espadrilles have been hand-stitched to the brand’s iconic marshmallow soles and adjust to the contours of your feet. And expertly crafted in Brazil, they are perfect for the dreary unpredictable weather and suitable for any-lifestyle wear the same way flip-flops have been to Filipinos.

La Salle point guard Thomas Torres is one of the chosen endorsers of the new Havaianas Origine.
