ASEAN Integration – A Realization or a Delusion?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

ASEAN’s path towards integration embraces social and economic inequalities within and between its member countries. As part of the ASEAN, the Philippines has to compete with its Southeast Asian neighbors.

On its upcoming 50th anniversary in 2017, has ASEAN really contributed to improving the lives of its member citizens? Is an alternative integration or Integration from below possible?

The Philippine Peoples’ Summit on ASEAN aims to provide a space where representatives from different sectors of society can discuss various issues and raise local, national, and regional concerns related to the ASEAN.

Princess Nemenzo (WomanHealth Philippines) will deliver the keynote speech. A series of panel discussions will follow. Speakers include Nemenzo, Dr. Eduardo Tadem (Freedom from Debt Coalition), and Antonio Tujan, Jr. (IBON Foundation), to name a few.

Join us on Monday and Tuesday as representatives from different sectors of the society discuss various local, national, and regional concerns related to the ASEAN.

A great find for delectable dishes was recently introduced to us and it's located just within the compounds of HMR and along Reliance Street, in front of TV 5 Mandaluyong city, just one ride from our Pasig city residence.

The newly introduced Pioneer Street Market is composed of several food stalls with outstanding choices of food that will surely appeal to all foodies out there for its wide variety of feasts fit for the most eccentric and critical in their food craving.

You'll find this place a treasure chest of delightful delicacies that goes beyond the traditional way of preparing and serving food.

Thanks to Zomato for co-organizing this event where foodies like me enjoyed a night of pigging out until we drop. We got to meet even the owners themselves who shared a few info about their brand and opportunity for photo ops with them especially with celebrity owner Matet De Leon who was formerly a super child star during her younger days. The moment I saw her, I immediately remembered how her mother, superstar Nora Aunor, praised her for being the most thoughtful among her children.

Cable Car BGC located at the Fort Strip recently celebrated its 2nd anniversary last June 30, 2016 with entertainment provided by the acoustic sets of Davey Langit, Migz Haleco, Jana Garcia, RJ JIMENEZ and Lush MNL.

My favorites was of course the one with the pretty lady Jana who sang beautifully giving the night a lot more vibrance.

The beats of the night came from DJ Enzo, while a Breezer Pong Tournament made the night a lot more thrilling as team of twos tried their luck winning the highly anticipated Breezer Pong Tournament!

We participated in the Breezer Pong Tournament but sadly we lost since we do not play the game professionally unlike our opponents who were actually deeply involved in the fun game.

Great set of delectable dishes were also served on our table aside from the Bacardi Breezer of different flavors. I must have drank more than a handful of the amazing Breezer and I still can't get enough of them.

Congratulations to the owners of Cable Car which has other branches located in other areas of the Metro including the one at Tomas Morato in Quezon City, The Sapphire Bloc in Ortigas and San Lorenzo Village in Makati
