Scottie Thompson married a different girl and not his long-time girlfriend?

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Last time nag trend ni Scottie on twitter was when he made that amazing 3 that carried Ginebra to the finals of the PBA bubble vs bolts. But now trending for all the sorry sad reason. Nag tweet pa ako few mos ago na loyal mga Ginebra players sa mga wife & girlfriends nila.

Just how fast the night changes. I can't believe Scottie is a cheater. 

Yung Scottie Thompson nyo walang balls. Nakipagbreak sa long time girlfriend at ex-fiancée thru phone call.

If there's one thing I really cannot take, it's cheating. I'm so disappointed, Scottie Thompson. 

and if it's true that he married this Jinky girl privately in Las Piñas then I can't imagine the pain Pau is going through right now. Hurts like hell.

Game na, kampihan na!

Thank you Scottie Thompson for the great games you played for Ginebra and for us Ginebra fans, but no thanks for how you played with Pau Fajardo's heart.

I've been rooting for Scottie Thompson and Pau Fajardo ever since he got drafted sa PBA and I always felt na sobrang relationship goals nila but yes fvck cheaters talaga. so disappointed kay Scottie.

Pain.  I know it's their life and their decisions are not for me to oppose but I just feel so sorry for Pau. I want to hug her rin. Also, sorry ha but I can't even say congrats on their marriage. 

"Hindi ka pa Scottie Thompson ng Ginebra, si Pau na kasama mo."

What a realization in life. Always rember who's with you when you have nothing. 

Other women who have been wronged & cheated on would’ve made their pain & anger known, & no one can even blame them. But Pau Fajardo chose to deal w/ her pain & heartbreak in dignified silence when she could just as easily ruin Scottie Thompson even more. All the more reason to respect Pau. What a class act. 

I’ll be praying for your healing, Pau. I hope you’ll soon realize you dodged a bullet, & you deserve so much better.

YES SO CLASSY, Hindi niya kasi level sila. She's a Queen. 

Scottie is not a man of words. Paano nalang kaya if mag asawa na sila ni Pau, baka kawawa pa kasi hindi makastick sa words or promises yung lalaki. Better to break apart now than to have a broken family soon.

Yung mindset na "wala namag perpektong tao"

Is that even a fucking reason to defend someone who cheated when they actually have the option not to do such?

Defend Scottie Thompson all you want, fan pa rin ako pero I can't tolerate what he has done.

Being a diehard Ginebra fan is what’s making me so affected by all this. Scottie Thompson is the new era of Ginebra. He has become the soul of the team.

And this happened.

Sorry but I cannot stan someone who turned out to be so heartless. I wish he gets traded to another team.

Scottie cheated  Pau way back before the proposal. He said "salamat sa pagtanggap mo sa akin ulit kahit na nagkamali ako noon." Once is enough, twice is too much, thrice is poison. Thank you for giving Pau another chance to find a real man that she deserves.

Eto yung mahirap. Akala yata ng mga lalaki kapag sinaktan nila ang babae ganun ganun na lang yun. Isang sorry ok na. Di nila alam daming what ifs sa utak ng niloko.

Nakakababa din ng self confidence mo yung tipong umusad na ang lahat pero ikaw andun pa rin. Nasasaktan.

Grabe yung heartbreak na pinaranas nila ni Jinky kay Pau. jusko. Matagal tagal na din pala. Ang daming resibong naglabasan ng pagiging higad ni girl. Sayang lang ang ganda tapos walang utak at yung ginawang batayan ng desisyon sa buhay ay ang kepu.

Be the Gabe Norwood and Marcio Lassiter in this world full of Scottie Thompson and Jio Jalalon.

Liza Soberano, Katarina Rodriguez Call for Independence of Children Against Malnutrition

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

On the occasion of the 123rd Philippine Independence Day celebration, Save the Children Philippines ambassadors Liza Soberano and Katarina Rodriguez call for public support to free around 3.6 million Filipino children aged five and below from stunting.


1 in 3 Filipino children is stunted2 and the Philippines ranks 9th in the world for having the most stunted children or those who are shorter in height for their age.


“It is heartbreaking that a lot of Filipino children are still left behind and are struggling to survive due to malnutrition. The plights of these malnourished children are exacerbated by the current health crisis but we drive inspiration that if we work together with everyone’s support, including civil society organizations, communities, the government, and the private sector, we will be able to provide a healthy future for the most affected and marginalized children,” said Rodriguez.


“Stunting is a silent emergency and is caused by prolonged or chronic undernutrition that starts even before or during pregnancy. It delays both body and brain development which may affect children's school performance in the long run,” explained Dr. Amado Parawan, Save the Children Philippines’ Health and Nutrition Advisor.


To help eradicate malnutrition in the country, Soberano and Rodriguez are leading a fundraising campaign called “Hope for their Future.”


Soberano, shared that every donation in support of Hope for their Future will allow Save the Children Philippines to monitor the nutritional status of young children especially that the first two (2) years of a child’s life is considered a critical window of opportunity for their growth and development.


This initiative is also knocking on the hearts of Filipino migrants and Overseas Filipino Workers who play an important role in nation-building and creating immediate and lasting change in children’s lives.


The child rights organization also recalled the invaluable efforts of Save the Children’s founder Eglantyne Jebb to free millions of children from starving to death during World War I.


Hence, in the last 40 years, Save the Children Philippines has made sure to be at the forefront of ending malnutrition in the country and successfully advocated for the enactment of Republic Act 11148 or the First 1,000 days law, in 2018, which will ensure care for pregnant women and their child, from the start of the pregnancy to the child’s first two years of life.


“Good nutrition starts at pregnancy. After all, what the mother eats, the child receives. By providing adequate access to health and nutrition services, we will be able to reduce the cases of malnutrition and save millions of lives,” said Save the Children Philippines Chief Executive Officer Atty. Alberto Muyot.


Hope for their Future will be supporting Save the Children Philippines’ Project NURTURE which implements multisectoral nutrition programs and interventions to prevent cases of stunting among children, and provides guidance and support to parents, communities, and local government units.


“Through Hope for their Future, we hope to liberate malnourished children from the long-lasting impacts of malnutrition. Help us change the narrative of these vulnerable children by sending your donation at bit.ly/PledgeSurvive. Your generosity and act of kindness can be life-saving,” appealed Soberano.

Best Practices in Digital Innovation



Toby Claudio, President of Toby’s Sports which has been in operation for 42 years, narrated the need of the company to reinvent and rediscover their business, which had to close for up to three months. There was a reconfiguration of business, keeping in mind that they were selling not just sports equipment, but a healthy lifestyle. “We had to innovate our way out of a crisis, strengthening ecommerce and giving various options as we re-engineered our retail concept,” he said, adding, “there is no excuse for any business now to learn ecommerce, to elevate its operations and harness innovation despite crisis.”



Toby’s Sports, the country’s largest store for sports and fitness with 65 stores nationwide, received the PLDT MVP Bossing Award in 2020, with the theme “Rediscovery, Reinvention,” in recognition of the company’s ability to pull through the global health crisis by adapting and changing to the current normal.



Other speakers were Nino Namoco, CEO of Del’s Apparel and Archit Anand, CEO and Co-Founder of Omnirio.



Del’s Apparel, which has been in operation for the last five decades, was able to credit the year 2020 as their best year yet, being able to adapt to technology innovations and using it to their advantage, as they provided health and safety wear which was greatly in demand during the global health crisis. Being able to know the pulse of the market, its business adaptability, grabbing opportunities, reliability, and most importantly, its use of technology innovations to their advantage have definitely helped their business thrive.
