TLC's Christian Yang and Ian Wright Comes to Manila


Wazzup Pilipinas!

TLC travels around Hong Kong this September to uncover the very best of a particular type of food – from star eats to street eats and style eats. A Taste of Hong Kong is about local chef and foodie extraordinaire Christian Yang who loves everything about his city, especially its one-of-a-kind food culture. Christian invites professional globetrotter Ian Wright to Hong Kong to lend a helping hand. As Ian has seen (and eaten) practically anything and everything across Asia and the world, his expert palette is just what Christian needs to narrow down his search.

Manila will be jumping in to join the fun as show hosts Christian and Ian is set to visit the Philippines for a meet-and-greet with the press and fans this September! The event is set to bring to life the sights, smells, and culinary flavors of their adventures. A Taste of Hong Kong is set to air on September 22 on TLC.

Advisory: Cancellation of International Coastal Cleanup


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Please be advised that the celebration of the 2016 International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) scheduled on Saturday (17 Sept 2016) is cancelled as decided by the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA) and ICC-Philippines as the co-coordinators of the ICC in the country.

All activities, preparations and plans this year for the ICC are cancelled as well. The cancellation is in light of the President's proclamation of a state of national emergency and government intelligence reports as to the existence of threats of further acts of violence.

Another nationwide campaign to clean up the coastal areas will be conducted when the security condition in the country stabilizes according to PCGA and ICC-Phils.

Please help disseminate the advisory to inform the participants around the country about the cancellation.

Below are the copies of the Memo (DENR) and Advisory (PCGA) regarding the cancellation of ICC.

In the first season, Special Agent Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra) finds herself the subject of an FBI manhunt after being targeted as the prime suspect in the biggest terrorist attack on New York City since 9/11.
