My Fun Interview with the ADDLIB Dance Crew: Featuring L.A. Bagtas

Wazzup Pilipinas!

To continue with our interviews with the ADDLIB Dance Crew, we now feature L.A. Bagtas, another ADDLIB member who will be acting as instructor for the upcoming 2014 ADDLIB Summer Dance Workshops scheduled on March 27 up to April 25, 2014.

Last time we interviewed Elgin Bez, described as the Soul Master of The LAB 3, and learned a lot about the history of the ADDLIB Dance Crew from him, among many other information he shared with us.

The two, along with a few more instructors coming from the dance crew, will be conducting the workshops at the Blue Light Dance Studio located at the 4th level of the Forab Building along Kamuning Road in Quezon City. The students will finalize with a grand recital and a dance concert at the SM Skydome on May 9, 2014.

Below are my questions to L.A. Bagtas and his quite short but surprisingly awesome answers:

DOTC: 100 Transport Sector Projects Awarded In 2013

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Reporting on its procurement performance last year, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) says that it awarded one hundred (100) projects through competitive bidding last year.

“The DOTC awarded no less than 100 projects in 2013 alone: from the rehabilitation and improvement of numerous ports and airports across the country, to the supply of Coast Guard rescue equipment, to the master planning of Metro Manila transport systems. These projects are now in various stages of implementation and completion,” said DOTC Secretary Joseph “Jun” Abaya.

“While we are still rolling out our big ticket projects, we have been mindful of the plight of the majority of Filipinos who rely on these infrastructure facilities for their livelihood. Fisherfolk who depend on functioning ports and wharves, agribusiness and commercial traders whose businesses count on air cargo transportation – they are already starting to benefit from these crucial projects,” he added.

United Colors of Comedy: Experience a Different Shade of Laughter

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I've seen them perform live from the recent United in Laughter event that happened just a few months ago where they were joined by fellow stand-up comics from other countries to raise the level of stand-up comedy in the Philippines.

There are not enough words to quantify how they were able to successfully tickle our funny bones without resorting to the traditional and commonly over-used slapstick or humiliate-the-audience style of comedy that you will usually find in bars and entertainment centers. Comedy Manila's quality of humor is world-class act and strikingly natural that others in the same business should follow their example.

Now here is your chance to personally see them up close and judge for yourself. Get ready to laugh like you’ve never laughed before. Witness a new brand of stand-up comedy in the Philippines.

This May 9, 2014, the UP Junior Marketing Assocation, together with Comedy Manila, brings you UNITED COLORS OF COMEDY, happening from 8 to 11pm at the Bahay ng Alumni in UP Diliman. Experience a different shade of laughter with acts from Eri Neeman, Victor Anastacio, Gb Labrador, Red Ollero, Alex Calleja and Ryan Sarita from Comedy Manila.
