Wazzup Pilipinas!

As part of the Department of Transportation and Communications’ (DOTC) program to modernize the public utility bus (PUB) system, the DOTC and the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) have launched a third point-to-point (P2P) route between Alabang and Makati.

“Residents from southern Metro Manila and parts of Cavite will now have a more convenient transportation option that will provide them significant travel time savings and enhanced passenger experience when traveling to the central business district,” said DOTC Secretary Jun Abaya.

The winning operator, RRCG Transport, will have pick-up points at Alabang Town Center in Alabang and Greenbelt 1 in Makati.

“We hope that other bus operators will also join us in our bid to raise the standards for public transportation by offering higher quality services to commuters,” added Abaya.

The P2P routes that are currently operational are Trinoma-Makati, offered by Froehlich Tours, and Ortigas-Makati, offered by HM Transport. Another route will be available this week, which is the North EDSA-Ortigas. More services will be launched in the coming weeks once the operators acquire new buses for the Alabang-Ortigas and Fairview-Makati routes.

The P2P bus service is a new PUB category created by the DOTC that offers commuters another safe and reliable mode of transportation. It allows shorter travel time, as buses depart on a fixed schedule and travel directly from the terminal to the drop-off point.

Diyos-Diyosan: A Timely Movie On Pinoy Faith And Politics

Wazzup Pilipinas!

dIYOS-DIYOSAn is a socio-political/spiritual treatise that highlights the roots of the country’s current political struggles and economic hardships—the focus on money and power by its leaders.

The film seeks to open the eyes of Filipino millennials to the realities of what a true leader should be, and is expected to be a media catalyst for the large percentage of undecided voters.

Its timing is perfect as it opens shortly before the Philippine national elections.

It is hoped that freedom-loving Filipinos draw inspiration from the film’s lessons and use this as a guiding principle in eventually choosing the rightful and deserving leaders who could change the country’s course for the better.

Directed by Christian film director Cesar Buendia, the movie stars top-caliber actor John Prats and veteran actress Princess Punzalan, with a stellar supporting cast that includes Kiko Estrada, Cheska Diaz, Lorenzo Mara, Vaness del Moral, Glaiza de Castro, Tirso Cruz III and many others.

Celebrating the Dawn of a New Decade for Filipino Creativity and Ingenuity:Global Pinoy Bazaar 2016

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Yabang Pinoy, the pioneering Filipino pride movement, will embark on a new journey that will unfold the creativity and ingenuity of Filipinos through different products, ideas and services in this year’s edition of Global Pinoy Bazaar—one of the biggest and long-running all-Filipino bazaars that showcases one hundred percent local products made with love and pride.

Ever since the movement began in 2005, Yabang Pinoy has made a significant effort in changing the consumer mindset of Filipinos—that choosing and prioritizing anything Filipino should be an everyday option and, in the long run, a habit. Through Global Pinoy Bazaar, local brands receive leverage and an equal chance to be recognized by the purchasing public.

This year, as Yabang Pinoy celebrates another decade of Filipino creativity and ingenuity, Global Pinoy Bazaar will be done in three (3) separate and distinct occasions: 16th Global Pinoy Bazaar (Philippine Independence Edition) on June 30 to July 3; 17th Global Pinoy Bazaar (Made in the Philippines Edition) on August 10 to 14; and 18th Global Pinoy Bazaar (Paskong Pinoy Edition) on December 7 to 11. All three bazaars will be held at Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City.

Apart from the new and returning brands, this year’s line-up of bazaars will feature distinct zones that will cater to specific causes. DISTRICT ZONE will house brands that sell art and designs. On the other hand, FOODSOURCE ZONE is a collaborative area that features packed and processed foods and beverages. There will also be the SOCIAL ENTERPRISE ZONE that boasts the products from companies that supports a cause.

Come and discover what Filipino ingenuity is all about, because there are a hundred and one ways to define it.
