Philippine Volcanoes Meet & Greet at Pioneer Street Market

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Our Philippine national rugby team who are more popularly known as the Philippine Volcanoes recently had a meet and greet with fans at one of the newest foodie haven called Pioneer Street Market located inside the compounds of HMR.

The big guys of this Rugby team can be prominently seen with all those huge muscles and posterior, while the few women composing the female team are also physically buffed and ready to face any opponent in the ultimate aim to win the games they will compete in.

Since I was late in arriving due to the rush hour time of the event, I managed to appreciate only the challenges given to the players after the press conference. They had a Monster Burger eating challenge, and a Beer Drinking challenge, for fun where the emerging winners are still from the Men's team.

We also indulged on the yummy Peri-Peri Chicken meals served by Fuego Amigo along with iced tea as we listened to the husband and wife team providing entertainment with their songs.

I also had the opportunity to dine on the famous Auntie May's Angus Beef Salpicao along with their thirst-quenching lemonade, and brought home a Monster Burger with one huge Australian beef patty. I personally witnessed how it was actually cooked and prepared with all the garnishing from start to finish.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Yamaha has just launched its TFX 150: The Fierce Xperience. The much awaited Yamaha M-Slaz in Thailand is now released in the Philippines as Yamaha TFX 150. The said unit has been so popular in most South East Asian countries especially in Thailand. Even Yamaha Philippines is also receiving a lot of inquiries about this unit ever since it was released in Thailand.

And now, the long wait is over. Spread the good news to all our fellow riders, now that Yamaha Philippines has formally launched the TFX 150 at the Mall of Asia Music Hall on September 24, 2016.

Opening the event was a dance mob presentation by a group of award-winning dancers who gave two performance before and after the program activities on stage including the discussion of the specifications of the TFX 150 motorbike which comes in two designs.

An impressive stunt show and exclusive media test ride featuring the TFX 150 motorbike was also conducted at SM By The Bay Central Park. Members of the media also got the chance to participate in all activities prepared for the day.

I have to say I was impressed on the capabilities of the TFX 150 motorbike during the stunt show as riders exhibited its speed, power and easy handling. 

Privacy Commission Advisory on Yahoo Breach

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The National Privacy Commission (NPC), an independent body mandated to administer and implement the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and to monitor and ensure compliance of the country with international standards set for data protection, would like to reiterate the recommendations of Yahoo and cybersecurity experts to Yahoo users to change their passwords on their Yahoo accounts.

This follows after the compromise of half million user accounts from Yahoo’s servers in 2014 that was only discovered and confirmed by Yahoo this week. Below is what was posted on Yahoo’s email log-in page about the Account Security issue :

“We have confirmed, based on a recent investigation, that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from our network in late 2014 by what we believe is a state-sponsored actor. The account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (the vast majority with bcrypt) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers. “

Other than changing their Yahoo log-in credentials, the NPC also recommends that Yahoo users change log-in credentials of their other online accounts where they might have used their Yahoo email for account verification purposes. The security questions on Yahoo might also have been compromised and it would be a good idea to revise the security questions or disable that feature. The NPC also recommends activating two-part authentication to gain first time access to your account. Two-part authentication uses a phone number you provided to verify your identity.
