It’s Official: Tomorrow Is Overrated

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Stop everything you’re doing because Jose Cuervo has declared it: Tomorrow is Overrated!

Jose Cuervo’s latest campaign, Tomorrow is Overrated, is a call to arms that invites drinkers to heed the call by filling shot glasses in celebration of today. Is the world ending tomorrow? It doesn’t matter- this newest campaign invites drinkers to make the most out of today.

While the project is rather risqué, it remains true to the spirit of tequila and the ‘never say never’ ethos that has made Jose Cuervo® such a celebrated brand among drinkers around the world.

The campaign is led by the short film, Last Days. The film takes place in downtrodden town on the edge of nowhere and follows a group of patrons in the middle of the apocalypse. With nothing left to do, the group savor shots of Jose Cuervo Especial® Silver as couples dance to the Elvis Presley classic, “It’s Now or Never”.

The film can be viewed in its entirety here: http://cuervo.com/tomorrow-is-overrated/

The video showcases Jose Cuervo Especial® Silver, which can be taken on it’s own as a shot or mixed into your favourite cocktail.

And be sure to keep an eye out for the new Jose Cuervo Especial® bottles which are expected to hit the local market in just a few short months.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The 7th Annual Meeting of Nuclear Energy Cooperation Subsector Network (NEC-SSN) kicked off with the Seminar on Security of Radioactive Sources on Monday (April 17, 2017) at the Visayas Ballroom of the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila.

The seminar is jointly organized by the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and the Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Safety (ISCN) of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), with the Philippines as host.

The delegates to the meet include representatives from other ASEAN Member State (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), members of the Nuclear Energy Program Implementing Organization (NEPIO) from the Philippine nuclear network such as the Department of Energy (DOE), the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI), the National Power Corporation, the UP National Engineering Center (NEC) and other stakeholders in the public and private sectors.

DOE Undersecretary Jess Posadas, in his welcome remarks, stressed the importance of nuclear security as among the 19 infrastructure issues that need to be prioritized by countries embarking on a nuclear power program (NPP).

Reina Matsuzawa of ISCN/JAEA discussed the concept of nuclear and radioactive security, and emphasized on the strategic benefit of international cooperation in nuclear security as the effectiveness of one ASEAN Member State impacts the rest of the ASEAN region.

Teofilo Leonin of the PNRI talked about the need for the comprehensive nuclear law in the Philippines to regulate and control the utilization of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes,

The IAEA reiterated its support and commitment for an effective nuclear security regime in the ASEAN region by providing expert guidance and assistance through its various programs and services.

Malaysia and Japan shared their first-hand experiences and methods in implementing regulations and security measures for radioactive sources.

Heightened interest for regional cooperation from the ISCN/JAEA and the EU Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Risk Mitigation Centre of Excellence Initiative (CBRN COE) is a welcome opportunity for the ASEAN to increase awareness and improve standards, as well as technology developments in the field of nuclear security.

These involvements will enhance the capabilities of the ASEAN Member States consistent with the strategies under the Civilian Nuclear Energy (CNE) focus area of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC).

With these developments, the DOE is confident that the Philippines will immensely benefit from a successful regional and international cooperation on nuclear security, and be able to contribute strategically to the ASEAN region as a whole.

The 7th NEC-SSN meeting and its associated events is in line with the Philippine hosting of the 50th Founding Anniversary of the ASEAN.
