An Open Letter to an Online Publication

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The open letter below submitted by one of our contributors, who was apparently a former writer of an online publication, had to pass through a lot of scrutiny from the Wazzup Pilipinas core team before it was allowed to be posted as is, and with very little correction. We intentionally removed the identity of the online publication since we know very well many will be able to quickly identify which one it is.

Wazzup Pilipinas stands by our obligation to respect all forms of freedom of expression, may it be somewhat sounding hateful, malicious or biased, as we allow all parties directly or indirectly involved with the issues to freely submit their personal statements that will voice out their true feelings, to affirm or deny accusations, and explain their side of the actual stories that are often hidden from the eyes of the public due to manipulated efforts and uneven resources.

It was quite difficult to finally allow this open letter to be posted on our site as the Editor himself was a former senior writer of the said online publication. But we will let our readers evaluate on their own if this was justifiable enough to make an online presence. The author claims he is representing not only himself but others who also feel he same way. There was no sugar-coating, and no effort was made to tame the fiery statements of the original author of the letter.

Please read on with an equally "open" mind. Be mindful that we will also accept the counter-statements of the other parties if they will request for it. Everyone deserves an opportunity to air out their concerns. We are glad to be instrumental to this effort to communicate.

Lamudi: Fast-Growing Property Portal Expands Operations in Sri Lanka

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Lamudi, one of the leading real estate players and a global property portal operating exclusively in emerging markets, is expanding its presence in Asia, with the platform launching in Sri Lanka this week. It is now available in seven new markets across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, with launches also announced recently for Jordan, the Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Madagascar, Mauritius and Zimbabwe. This brings the number of countries where the platform is available to 28.

Co-Founder and Managing Director, Paul Philipp Hermann, said: “Countries like Sri Lanka have the perfect trifecta for online property: each has a strong real estate market, growing rate of internet usage, and a young and vibrant demographic.

We are expanding our presence in Asia because, quite simply, we could see a demand that was not being met. As more people in each of these markets switch online, they want to have access to the same resources that are available elsewhere.

Whether its buying a house in Sri Lanka or renting an apartment in Jordan, Lamudi is helping to meet the growing demand for e-commerce in emerging markets.”

Pasensiya na...hindi po kasi ako komedyante. Mas madalas ay seryoso ako, tahimik, nasa isang tabi lamang. Hindi mo agad-agad akong mapapatawa, kahit mapangiti...pilit siguro..pero mahirap at halatang peke.

Pero kapag interesado talaga ako o nasa syento porsyento pa ang aking lakas, uupo ako sa harapan, makikinig ng maiigi, magtatanong pa minsan, tititigan kita dahil may gana pa ako. Once na tumingin ako sa sahig, its either inaantok na ako, or nahihiya ako sa iyo dahil sa sobrang ka-cute-an mo. Shy rin ako noh.

Kaya lang kapag naramdaman kong hindi ka pala totoo, mapagkunwari ka lang na pilit na nagpapaka-tao, aantukin na ako, iba na ang iisipin, kating-kati na umuwi. Kahit landiin mo pa ako at magpakita ka ng cleavage at legs, there will never be something between the two of us.

Dadamihan ko na lang ng inom ng iced tea, kung meron, o kaya tubig na lang ang pagtiyatiyagaan para pampalipas lang ng oras, lamang tiyan di yan...kahit malunod na ako sa kakainom, para makaraos lang, para di mapanis laway ko. Pagbibigyan ka pa rin, kahit atat na talaga akong tumayo. Mas masarap pa kasing umutot kaysa makinig sa iyo.
