Erika Padilla on FHM Philippines June 2014 Cover

Wazzup Pilipinas!

#Selfie #Pinay #FingerUpYourAss

I've read that Raissa Robles has very little but strong words to say about the latest FHM Philippines cover this June 2014. The rant was specifically aimed, not on the mickey mouse ears headband, but towards the tattooed words "Pinay" on her.

"Whose bright idea was it to tattoo the word “Pinay” on Erika Padilla’s thigh?

If this is a real tattoo on Erika’s thigh, then I will say nothing more about it. That is her right to free expression.

But if that’s a tattoo you placed there simply for the photo shoot, then you are all jerks for stereotyping us Pinays with Erika’s photo.

I mean, don’t you see? She has floppy breasts. And if she wants to flaunt them in all their floppy splendor, then that’s her choice. But don’t make her represent half the Philippine population.

I know you want to be hip and all that, being the local version of the British magazine FHM.

If that’s an artificial tattoo, that’s a really tacky and thoughtless thing you did. We are not all as vacuous as THAT.

And “Pinay” does not mean sex object." -Raissa Robles

Is Gift-Giving Still a Good Marketing Investment?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Is your PR budget being “realigned”? Before you trim or worse, scrap your budget for corporate gifts, think again.

Shrugging off corporate gift-giving as an unnecessary expense may be one of the biggest branding mistakes you can make. With the ever-increasing competition across all sectors and industries, that little token might just be the final push that your brand needs to get its message across.

A restricted budget is simply an invitation to explore your creativity. Rather than just considering the cost, think about the perceived value of an item, anticipate the needs of the recipient, or even re-think the packaging for a more customized look. Most importantly, make sure whatever you’re giving reflects well on your brand.

Sounds complicated? Not really. Simplify your life and find what you need by visiting Corporate Giveaways 2014 at the SMX Convention Center on July 9-11, 2014.

The Corporate Giveaway Buyers’ Show on Business Gifts, Premiums, Promotional Ideas and Merchandise Incentives is an annual event held every July to help companies prepare for holiday and year-round gift-giving needs. This event will definitely be beneficial for Purchasing Marketing, Advertising and PR professionals, along with business owners, event managers, wedding planners, and the like as suppliers of quality and creative gift items will all be gathered under one roof.

ER Ejercito Steps Down to Avoid Further Turmoil: Hoping to Return in Position Soon

"Pansamantala nating nilisan ang kapitolyo ng Laguna upang panatilihan ang kaayusan at katahimikan sa Lalawigan ng Laguna. Base na rin sa paki-usap at payo ng aking tiyuhin at dating Pangulo Joseph "Erap" Estrada tayo ay pansamantang bumaba bilang gobernador upang hintayin ang ating apela sa Supreme Court para sa TRO o status quo order sapagka't ako ay naniniwala na magiging patas ang kanilang hatol at papakinggan ang boses ng 550,000 na lagunense na naglagay sa akin sa katungkulan bilang ama ng lalawigan. Nawa tayo ay patuloy na magdasal at magkaisa para sa ating minamahal na Lalawigan ng Laguna!" - ER Ejercito

Even when Ramil Hernandez stepped in and declared himself as the new governor after the COMELEC has disqualified the current governor for overspending during the elections, ER Ejercito was still determined to stay as governor. But it took his uncle, former president Joseph "Erap" Estrada to finally convince him to step down for the sake of peace and order.

Erap even told the people that the same situation happened to him during his term as president when he voluntarily stepped down to avoid further turmoil, but thern he said also that "the Agila will return" (and so he did as Mayor of Manila), the same with ER when he said "the Lawin will return!", but maybe not as governor again, like his uncle, probably getting another position in government.
