Microsoft Founder Bill Gates was in Laguna for a Confidential Visit at IRRI

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Inquirer.net reports that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently visited the International Rice Research Institute in Los Banos, Laguna according to the online news reliable sources.
  The American philanthropist arrived at 8 a.m. of April 7 Tuesday at the IRRI headquarters aboard a private helicopter and left after a two-hour “confidential visit.” 
  The rice institute’s spokesperson would not deny nor confirm the visit after IRRI was requested for comments.   The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation supports the research and development of IRRI’s Golden Rice, a genetically manipulated rice variety that contains beta carotene."

It is either strange or admirable for the Microsoft founder for being too silent and low profile about his visit to the Philippines.

We all know how popular Bill Gates is and he should have been top news which is why it was surprising that only Inquirer was able to pick up on this news.

It Figures Skin Care and Body Shaping - Makati: The Journey to a Better Face and Body

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Thank you to It Figures Skin Care and Body Shaping - Makati branch for the regular Fat-Burning Radio Frequency (RF) treatments.

I'm already at my 4th visit to get rid of my double chin. They say it will take around 6 to 8 sessions before we could totally burn the unwanted fat but I also need to complement it with right exercise and good diet, otherwise it will just come back.

However, there are some saying the improvements are noticeable already. Just a little off the fat but noticeably better than before.

It Figures Skin Care and Body Shaping - Makati offers non-invasive facial, skin care and slimming services for both men and women.

Thanks to Marnel, who was mostly the one attending to my treatments and, of course, to Gernie for allowing me to experience such an opportunity. I hope to write well the end results of their efforts, and hoping it will be a success.

Josie Rizal, Andrea Bonifacio and Other Tekken 7 Filipino Characters

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Nope! There's only Josie Rizal announced as a new Filipino character among the three new ones of the Tekken 7 fighting game. The Andrea Bonifacio is fictitious, but why not - Emilia Aguinaldo, Apolinaria Mabini, Marcela Del Pilar, Juana Luna, Nene Aquino and all the rest of our male Pinoy heroes created with a female version seems interesting to watch fight each other on screen.

Or is it not a fitting tribute since it's a fighting game after all. Not really promoting camaraderie or good traits. Even Jose Rizal fought with his pen - which is supposed to be mightier than the sword or the gun. But a fist may be different - still it's promoting violence, and who are addicted to these games bit our kids who will be influenced by these arcade games.

The other two characters new in the game are Jin Kazama and his evil supernatural alter ego Devil Jin. This makes Josie Rizal the newest female character of Tekken 7.

But all the legal aspect issues and the controversies hounding the new character patterned after Jose Rizal may cause the creators of Tekken 7 to delete the character from the game. The name was obviously taken from our national hero Jose Rizal's name but I don't think the outfit makes any resemblance. A cropped yellow top and a red and blue skirt is not really Jose Rizal's type of wardrobe. Though the character is skilled in eskrima and kickboxing, our national hero would also not be fighting his way out of a conflict which means it is not an actual portrayal. It's only the name that they adapted and nothing more.
