Wazzup Pilipinas!

In order to move forward, we first need to look back to the past. This February, we look back to the past in order to move forward.

The UP CMC Student Council and the Mass Media Awareness Movement proudly bring you

‪#‎RetrospectivexProspective‬: Mass Media Awareness Month 2016

The Mass Media Awareness Movement (MMAM) is the flagship initiative of the UP College of Mass Communication Student Council.

Launched in 2010 as a month-long campaign, it now exists as a yearlong project that aims to raise awareness on different media-related issues, promote media literacy, forward the call for media freedom, and instill upon everyone our role as responsible and critical media consumers and practitioners.

Join this event as they create and raise discourse among UP students and other students from different parts of the country about Philippine media through the different events within the month:

Indak [24]7 Dance Force is Back-to-Back Grand Champion at Dance for Health 3

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Healthway Philippines' Dance for Health 3 is more than just a dance competition but a community who advocates and inspire others to live the SEED lifestyle, which refers to sleeping right, eating right, exercise and de-stress."

True enough, all the members of the dance teams showcase physical prowess and angst that makes them all stand out despite not being professional dancers. Most of them have days jobs so it's surprising to see these teams perform like they do their dance moves everyday.

I'm a frustrated dancer myself, but since I was destined to be in another field of expertise, that frustration continued to be just wishful thinking. I keep thinking maybe when I retire and start living in our dream rest house will I probably find time to finally firm up and make some moves to change my lifestyle.

But that is not what Healthway Medical, the country's biggest chain of mall-based clinics, wants us to believe. We should start living the SEED (Sleep, Eat Right, Exercise, De-Stress) lifestyle. To take the lead in promoting clean living. One of the best ways aside from eating right, and doing regular exercise is by always sparing time to dance and celebrate life to the fullest. We only live once in this world so we better make the most of it and by leaving a memory, or a legacy, of us being healthy and fun loving individuals.

Jennylyn Mercado: Ten Reasons Why She's The Most Relatable Celebrity at the Moment

Wazzup Pilipinas!

From her teenage days as a Starstruck survivor to a celebrated Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Best Actress awardee she is now, seems like there is no stopping Jennylyn Mercado. She has been around for over a decade in the industry, but is still highly admired and sought after. With recent back – to – back TV appearances and magazine covers, topped with her latest movie that left us with so much feels, she’s definitely our #lifepeg!

Let’s have a rundown, shall we?

1. The Ultimate Survivor

Not only did she dream, she believed and is an ultimate survivor in life. Being a single mom isn’t easy, but she surely makes it seem so with how fab she is now - definitely an inspiration to women.


2. Single and Happy

Whoever said being single is equivalent to being sad needs to look at Jennylyn. She is a single mother, but she is living THE life! If you’re single and just constantly waiting for that someone, take your cue from her and improve yourself. Enough with the “Oo na, ako na mag - isa!” and stick to Walang Forever’s famous line: “Kailangan mo lang hintayin ang tamang tao sa tamang panahon, sa tamang pagkakataon”. Cheer up na, girl!
