Manny Pacquiao Foundation is Beneficiary of Ishin-Denshin International Music Festival

Wazzup Pilipinas!

In an effort to combat poverty in the Philippines through providing medical assistance, promoting children’s education, and providing help for those suffering from natural disasters, the Manny Pacquiao Foundation was established by the boxing world champion, senator, businessman and philanthropist.

Similarly, eventhough the Pambansang Kamao seemingly has it all, there's no stopping generous individuals, organizations and corporations to partner with him in generating funds for his foundation. Aside from his personal money, Pacquiao is open to accepting any help coming from everyone who would especially want to touch the hearts of others through his foundation.

Among the many kind-hearted entities out there are the organizers of the Ishin-Denshin International Music Festival who plans to hold the event next year by February 10, 2018. Most proceeds, if not all, of the festival would go to the Manny Pacquiao Foundation to specifically help the people of Marawi who were affected by the recent several months-long siege that displaced many residents and destroyed both their properties and source of livelihood.

At the media launch held at F1 Hotel in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) located in Taguig City, Manny Pacquiao graced the event to announce the partnership with the festival. We have a video coverage uploaded on our YouTube channel so please do check our videos to personally listen to the announcement and Q&A portion.

Buddha-Bar Manila Lights Up Their Uniquely Towering Christmas Tree

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It is undeniable that Christmas is coming since many establishments have been setting up their respective holiday season decorations of which the number one that can be seen worldwide is the Christmas Tree.

The Christmas Tree has always been the heart of every Christmas decoration, may it be within the biggest and grandest malls or our humble abodes right at home. Nothing compares to how fun it is to decorate and light up a tree that symbolizes a center where the whole family could all gather, exchange gifts and feast on delightful dishes.

Among the many establishments in the Philippines, Buddha-Bar Manila has recently lit their own Christmas Tree. But their is one of a kind and distinctively unique as compared to other Christmas Trees that I've seen throughout the years. You could very well see how different and highly extraordinary it is.

I've had the opportunity to talk with the two designers who were both present during the lighting ceremony held on November 20, 2017 just infront of Buddha-Bar Manila. Just at the other side of the bar is a display of the Mercedes Benz luxury car that is also at stake in their raffle promo. One lucky customer will get to win the car soon next year. That's another mighty prized moment at Buddha-Bar Manila.
