Wazzup Pilipinas!

Dancing is an art, a way to express ones self and also a medium to showcase our emotions. That is what I've felt through my own experience as a dancer when I was younger.

But dancing is different with *ADDlib. Founded in 2008 by Joe Abuda - Choreographer to the stars, *ADDlib is a powerhouse crew of multi-talented individuals that excels in different forms of dance and performance art.

Since 2008 the group has achieved a lot of highlights in their career in which one of them is being 10th place in the 2012 World Supremacy Battlegrounds held in Sydney, Australia and also being one of the Semi-Finalists at the 2013 World Hiphop Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. These were all done merely by *ADDlib with zero financial support. But in the end, they were able to make it for their sheer passion in dancing.

With a fuse of Jazz, contemporary, hip hop and other dance styles *ADDlib became one of a powerhouse dance crew among the dance competition circuits and also underground performances around the metro immediately.

Holi Festival is uniquely characterized by the throwing and applying of colored powder or gulal. Hundreds of people gather on the streets to throw colored powder, play instruments, dance, and participate in merrymaking activities. Because of its popularity, Holi is celebrated in more than 20 countries across five continents - Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and South America.

A spring festival, the bright colors of Holi mimic nature’s vibrant display. The color play is also a commemoration of the great love of Krishna and Radha, hence Holi is sometimes known as the Festival of Love. Young Krishna, with his dark complexion, applied color on fair-skinned Radha to make her look like him.

For the 2nd year in a row, Asia Society Philippines, together with Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce, SingIndia Music of the Soul, and Indian Ladies Club brought the Holi experience to Manila last March 16, 2014 at SM Mall of Asia by the Bay.

The Holi Festival was an event full of dancing, happiness, and of course, color. Indians and Filipinos alike celebrated the Festival of Colors which promotes unity and harmony among people.

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is correcting a report following yesterday’s Invest Transport PH market sounding activity, which claimed that its Special Prequalification, Bids, and Awards Committee (PBAC) appears ready to award the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Development Project concession to a particular bidder.

“The DOTC Special PBAC is still settling the issues raised in relation to the qualification and capacity of the involved bidders. There is no decision yet as to which group will win the contract. No recommendation has been made to the Secretary,” said DOTC Spokesperson

Michael Arthur Sagcal.

“The Special PBAC still intends to close out the issues by the end of this month, but it is being thorough in resolving the matter to ensure that its decision will be in accordance with what the law and the rules alone prescribe. In any case, the DOTC will make an official announcement once the award is made,” he added.
