Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Interactive pop-up store dubbed as Citizens of TMRW exhibit at the Fashion Hall of SM Megamall showcased the ideas and devices that will and are already shaping today and tomorrow’s world.

In an interview with Lenovo's Country General Manager, the most anticipated technology that would soon be the evolving trend is Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Armed with mobile devices like tablets and laptops that integrates with peripherals that makes the mentioned technologies possible, future computing would be something to look forward to.

With devices that transform to function a variety of tasks, we are very impressed of how Lenovo has allowed us to personally experience their technologies with the Citizens of TMRW exhibit. It makes you want to get one of them home as soon as possible. Why not? If we had the budget and the site actually sells, there's no stopping us from owning one of the units soon. Going to the nearest tech store to purchase one would be the next task after seeing their offers.

Hosted by Chico Garcia, the media launch was held on the first day at the actual exhibit area, and  was attended by selected members of the media together with Lenovo's industry partners.

It also presented some influencers who are actually using Lenovo products in their respective areas of expertise, like the lady who draws on a tablet, and the young man who controls a Star Wars droid using his Lenovo tablet.

We have several videos from the event coverage so please do check them out on our official YouTube and Facebook pages.

Benilde Film Alumna’s Short Film Competes in Iraq Film Fest

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Papa’s Shadows, a short film written and directed by De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde film alumna Shallah Montero, will vie for top awards at the Slemani International Film Festival in Iraq from October 1 to 7.

The film tells the story of seven-year old Mia (Pintig Santos) who has a lot of questions about death at her young age. She has always heard about death but never fully understood it. As the little girl experiences the loss of her own father, she struggles to see her mother (Roence Santos) becoming sadder each day. She seeks help instead from the shadow puppets her father left her, to cope and understand the meaning of life and death.

Montero revealed that she particularly made the film for her mentor, visual artist and shadow puppeteer on Salubayba, and her favorite TV cameraman and cinematographer Egay Navarro, both of whom have passed away.

“Don’s influence in shadow play and how he introduced the craft to me at a young age and a conversation with Egay’s little son on his concept of death has inspired me to write this story. Both of them left their children too early, grasping reality at such a young age,” she explained.

“I wanted to use the concept of how a child’s imagination can help them cope with such a heavy reality and how their innocence can help them emerge stronger through trying times,” the young filmmaker added.

Manny Pacquiao is Your Friendly Lurker on Instagram Live

"So Manny Pacquiao, a married self-proclaimed Christian, chatted up a woman online. His wife must be glad; Christmas just came early for her." - Jonathan Sy

It has been said that when boxer Manny Pacquiao has a fight, the crime rate in his native Philippines drops to 0%. He has truly given us entertaining fifhts everytime he goes inside the boxing ring and win or lose, many Filipinos do tune in. However, what keeps him busy when he does not have a fight?

Pound for pound boxer Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao out here trying to pound every girl that goes live on Instagram.

“You can call me anytime” - Manny Pacquiao only responded because he was invited to do a radio show, during IG live. Still a Pacman not a Pacboi .

Pacquiao admits commenting on live video of IG star Arzaylea Rodriguez; says Rodriguez was first to engage conversation with him.

However, 22-year-old Arzaylea calls out Pacquiao: "I didn't start our chat"

Pacquiao says his "You can call me anytime" to BarStoolRia was in reply to her query to interview him. No malice he says.

Do we now live in a world where creepy married men like Pacquiao can say "walang malisya dun" after flirting with other women on IG Live?

Could someone tell Manny Pacquiao that he should quit the Instagram Live lurking.

Manny Paquiao should have consider my option as his defense, that his account was used by his son.

'I did nothing wrong,' says Pacquiao amid Instagram uproar. Now, I believe he is a comedian after all.

Some people are actually defending Pacquiao over this issue. The dude is a fucking hypocrite and yet you still eat his shit up.
