Fr. Larry Faraon’s Lenten Recollection at Teatrino, March 23; Easter Egg Hunt at Promenade, March 27

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Fr. Larry Faraon O.P. will conduct another stirring Holy Wednesday Recollection at Teatrino on Holy Wednesday, March 23 to bring Christ’s Passion and Death closer to the lives of the faithful. On Easter Sunday, March 27, the Promenade hosts another fun and frolicsome Easter Egg Hunt as the Risen Christ removes the pall of gloom with the joy of His glorious Resurrection.

From 2 to 5:30 p.m. on March 23, the popular Retreat Master will take retreatants on “A Journey of Presence, Sacrfice and Communion”, focusing on the wonder of the words “..and He dwelt among us” – the special privilege we all have because God became man, lived on earth to work wonders and redeem us from sin.

“In this year of the Special Jubilee of God's Mercy and Compassion, the Eucharist comes out as the perfect example of such mercy. The abiding presence of Christ in the Eucharist is God 's expression of 'being with' his people especially in challenging times. The sacrifice on the cross of His son Jesus commemorated in the Eucharist brings forgiveness, the ultimate act of God's mercy and compassion. In holy communion, which is the result of the eucharistic activity, God's mercy and compassion is shared in fellowship and charity. We shall share with each other the richness of God's mercy and compassion in the retreat,” said Fr. Larry.

WSI Unboxed: IT Distributor Introduces Fresh Solutions For Philippine Businesses

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It was an amazing afternoon as your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas got to have the Wazzup Pilipinas tarp design printed on two different large HP printers namely the HP PageWide XL 5000 can almost print as fast as the Flash. They printed several copies of the Wazzup Pilipinas design and it took only a few seconds to print, and the HP Designjet T830 which printed a glossy version of our tarp design.

I have it on video as the printers were doing their job. It was quick and easy. They just required my file which came from my smartphone. I downloaded the trap design file from my email account, and one immediately copied it on their desktop to prepare for printing, while the other asked me to share it through bluetooth to his smartphone which connected to the printer.

We also got a special interview with the 3D Printing team which handles the MakerBot, for small 3D projects, and Stratasys, for industrial applications, 3D printing brand of machines. Since most of the printing machines were huge, the event was held at two different places: one at the lower ground floor where the 3D Design and Printing Hub was located, and another at a few floors higher where we saw other products like the CCTV, headset, storage, and other systems solutions.

These were just some of the attractions we got to see at the WSI Unboxed event, a special gathering held on March 15, 2016, at the WSI Corporate Center in Makati City for all technology journalists and bloggers to announce the new products and offerings of Wordtext Systems, Inc. (WSI), the oldest pure IT distributor in the Philippines.
