Annebisyosa No Other Concert

by , in
Anne Curtis has evolved through the years from a teenage icon turned host, then became a recording artist and just recently, she became blockbuster actress for “No Other Woman” and now, she steps up to become a concert artist as she stages her first major concert on January 28, 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The concert title is inspired by her recent movie hit and is called: “Annebisyosa No Other Concert World Tour.” Her album turned platinum in a span of less than three months after release. The “Showtime” host was overwhelmed by the support given by the “madlang pipol” - as they fondly called the audience of this Kapamilya noontime show.

Anne Curtis, Annebisyosa Concert


Anne developed her confidence to sing on stage because of the daily sample segments held in “Showtime.” It was her dream to have an album and also to have a concert, and it seems that all things are slowly unfolding.

She said in a recent press release that people must expect the best with regards to the production. She then reveals that she has her brains on with the concept of all the production numbers and the designs for her costumes.

Basta ginagamitan ko na talaga ng bongga yung imagination ko dito just to give the best kasi kung ano nga yung kakulangan ng boses ko, ibibigay ko na lang sa lahat ng production number at outfits ko. Kaya abangan nyo yan!” This was Anne’s statement as she admits the limitations on her voice but she promises to make it up with her vivacious numbers and her grandiose costume changes.

The people who would be behind her concert will be Rico Gutierrez as the Director with Marvin Querido as musical director; and is produced by Viva Concerts as Anne is under the management of Viva.

Georcelle Dapat, the ASAP Rocks choreographer will also work for her concert. Georcelle said in that TV Patrol interview that she knew this time would come that Anne would soon be given the chance to do her solo concert in Araneta. She also said that Anne is no longer just a goddess on TV but she is now also a concert goddess.

Anne Curtis will be joined on stage by “Showtime” co-host and real life close friend, Vice Ganda with ASAP colleague and Popstar princess, Sarah Geronimo. Anne assures the concert goers that the show will cause them to smile and be entertained through the best she can do. She then adds: “ngayon ay handa na raw siyang lumipad, tumiwarik, magsayaw, at siyempre kumanta.”

But with all these success that she has now gained, she still looks back to the “madlang pipol” who made her step up to the best she can be.

American Artist produces an all-OPM hits album for Jose Mari Chan

by , in
Jose Mari Chan

Another milestone for Original Pilipino Music (OPM) is the American production of an album containing twelve hits of the timeless singer-songwriter Jose Mari Chan. The album is called The Manhattan Connection: The Songs of Jose Mari Chan.

It can be remembered that Chan’s hits were revived locally through the years and the most recent of which is that of Christian Bautista. The album earned quadruple platinum award in a span of few months after the release and that only means Filipinos really love the voice and the melody of no less than Jose Mari Chan.

The eternal hits like “Beautiful Girl,” “Constant Change,” “Can We Just Stop and Talk a While" and "Please Be Careful With My Heart" would always remind us of his mellow and soothing voice that he considers a gift from God. He even confessed in a recent interview that since the beginning of his career, he did not have a voice coach.

His passion for his art catapulted him into this stature at present that after so many decades, his songs would always be remembered especially as the yuletide season hastens. “Christmas in our Hearts” and”Perfect Christmas” would always make us sing to it whenever we hear of it being played over the radio.

But who could have known that after so many years, an American producer would take some interest in his compositions and make it into an album, released in a musically liberated nation that of America. It only means Filipino music is captivating for the foreigners and with that Chan was so thankful to Janis Siegel, current member of the Manhattan Transfer, an American vocal group, for producing the album.

All of the twelve songs will be performed by budding American singers of this age and this comes out like a tribute album to a non-American artist- a rare happening as they call it.

Chan said during the album press launch:"I was pleasantly surprised with the result of the album. I felt honored and challenged," and he added that this is an achievement for the Philippine Music Industry.

The story behind album production began a few years ago when Renen De Guia of Ovation Productions met with Siegel, the solo-Grammy Music Award recipient, and introduced him to Jose Mari Chan. Siegel soon found interest in Chan’s compositions upon hearing some of it which resulted to this tribute album.

Chan’s album only proves that OPM can cross cultural boundaries and is a big achievement for the music industry which would serve as an inspiration for Filipino musicians to keep on playing and creating songs from the heart. I think this is the edge of Filipino artists: the heart for music, the heart which is inside every OPM song, the message that it brings into our sub-conscious which seem to remain there forever and are even be part of our own lives.

Protection at its best for your children and your own computers

by , in
Due to the advancements of new technology, gaining knowledge for youngsters has been made easy through the use of the internet. But at the back of this positive and beneficial innovation, children below 12 years old are prone to the influence of the negative and malicious contents in the World Wide Web.

children playing computer games

These children of the vulnerable age cannot determine the difference between good and bad. You should remember that the internet has it all and any child can click and log-in to any available site.

Psychological studies have found that the images children see will remain in their minds and the child has high chances of imitating the act. Sad to note that some child offenders of this present time were influenced to commit inappropriate acts against other children by what they have seen in the sites they have logged-into a couple of times.

Classroom Audio Systems from Roemtech

by , in
Teachers have a difficulty when it comes to capturing the attention of students, all the more in sustaining it. According to recent studies, the typical students from high school and college do have an attention span of 10 to 15 minutes. This causes the students not to learn and gain knowledge for attending the class.

Among the reasons that a student gets distracted from listening to classroom lectures is the noise from the surroundings, both internal and external. If a student cannot hear clearly what the teacher says, a student might resort to do other things and end up, not focusing attention to the lesson. But a sure solution to this problem is the purchase of good equipment for classroom audio systems.

Roemtech, a lead company that designs and manufactures quality and efficient audio systems, suitable for your classroom audio needs such as plenum rated amplifiers, mini amps, and speakers. You can access the site at www.roemtech.com, and it showcases an array of equipment made available internationally through the internet.

Jay-z: New York Street Born Rapper

by , in


From the dark streets of New York, Shawn Corey Carte aka Jay-Z rose from the independent music rap music industry to the main stream back in 1996. The street rapper turned professional recording artist was never discouraged to pursue his dream despite the fact that he was raised only by his mother soon after his father left. He started his career in the alleys of the Big Apple together with his friends, but before that, he was involved in drug-peddling and street gang activities.

He treated each of his projects in a different manner and said that the best style is not really a style. Jay-z just went on by saying that he takes the form of water; in short, he takes any shape, takes any style as long as it suits his genre. This explains why his albums hit the billboard several times.

Garage del Parco, Continuing the Business Legacy and its Values

by , in
Parents through the ages have made it a must to leave a legacy to their children. Some hand down their wealth, money, fame and position in the society. To some it could be quality education, as the best inheritance for parents to pass on to their children. But more than the education, like any parent, Aldo Antonio wanted to pass on to his next generation, the business values of efficiency, competence and meticulousness in providing quality service to the customers of his simple car repair and selling shop way back in the 1960s in Milan, Italy.

A son who was entitled to a birthright never ignored the legacy and took on the challenge of continuing the legacy. He also went on a car selling and service enterprise. Alexander was next on the line and since his younger years, he already had in his mind that he would soon continue his father's business, but in his own way.

used cars for sale, Garage del Parco, cars

Because of the exposure to the business, he grew a passion for the cars. But before he modified the old workshop of his father, Alexander already had the love for the car dealership business. This led him to pursue an innovation and thus, www.Garagedelparco.com came into being as an online dealership site of used cars Milan (auto usate milano) which carried the same business values his father practiced in his old business, still in line with cars.

The site features used cars for sale (vendita auto usate) which are guaranteed to be in good condition. Interested buyers can go to the garage and inspect the car if ever it has a damage. The company practices complete transparency with regards to the transactions made between the buyer and vendor.

Worry not for the car's efficiency. The product has been fully checked and it is as good as new. The machine was given great priority as to the conditioning of the vehicle. Also, we dwell on the principle that the real soul of the car is on the inside, not the outside appearance. This justifies the reason why you should not have hesitate to buy used cars (compro auto usate).

Apl de Ap, Black Eyed Peas


Filipino American singer Allan Pineda aka Apl.de.Ap promotes “We Can Be Anything” educational campaign. Later this month, Allan will be joined by co-hip hop artists of the Black Eyed Peas band for the grand launch of the project which aims to address the problem of classroom shortage in the country.

In line with this, Allan wrote a song entitled “We Can Be Anything” and it expresses his support to empower today’s Filipino young people, and encourage them to fulfill their dreams. He wants to share the word that any young person can achieve even the most impossible of their dreams and one sure way to attain a dream is to acquire a formal education. The song’s MTV is already shown on MYX.

Proof to this, the Pampanga-grown artist confesses his genuine love for the Filipino youth as he made mention of donating a music room and a computer room in his hometown’s public high school. Allan also advocates on raising the academic prowess of students in the Philippines. With regards to the high dropout rates in the most schools as of the present, most especially for the Aeta children in his home province, he also has in mind several project ideas to be materialized in order to address the problems.


He also stressed on his willing support to any project that would help uplift the educational system and the Filipino youth, as a whole. Allan does not tire to look back where he came from and he is eager to extend a hand, as he shares his talent and time.

Aside from these, the Grammy Award winning band member also has his own projects such as scholarship programs for the poor but deserving students.

Mini-concerts will soon be held by the international artist to help generate funds to be used in building public school classrooms and learning centers. The education-oriented campaign is a joint project of the Apl.de.Ap Foundation and the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation.

Allan Pineda Lindo Jr. indeed loves his home, the Philippines though America gave him all: the fame, the money and the luxury. In spite of his great success, he does not forget to take a look back where he came from. He has a big heart for the Filipino youth and he believes in the power of the “Noypi” youngsters being as one of those proofs of it.

by , in


Ex-policeman Larry Martin's motivation in joining Pinoy Biggest Loser reality show was mainly to get back to the service. But he acquired more than what he had expected. He wins the vie for the title by losing 101 lbs. from his weight of 255 pounds. Aside from that, he has gained self-confidence, got hold of new ways to live a healthier life and above all, he sees life now in a different way- a more positive look.

The 125 days coupled with life-changing experiences inside the camp made him and his other companions view life in a better way- away from the hurting judgments of the society who used to name them as pigs, abnormal, jumbo, and the like. But more than the hurt that they once felt, they wanted to avail of a longer life as it is an open truth that obesity lessens the life span of a person. As they get through the challenges, it is as if the Filipino audience also journeyed with them.

Levis

by , in
Levis is in the head of leading an American apparel firm, corporately known as Levi Strauss & Co., the forerunner in the denim jeans industry. It started its operations in 1869 when Levi Strauss arrived in San Francisco, California to open a merchandising store. Starting off with the release of overalls, it was only in the year 1920 when they started creating the Contemporary jeans. Marketing in more than sixty countries worldwide, Levis is indeed enormously rampaging sales charts at the top.

Levis, Levis Philippines
The youth of today clamps to its name associating them to one that is strong, modest and original. From the vast line of products, like jeans, shirts, shoes and so on, Levis continues to make skyrocketing sales. Accredited for its perfectly tailored jeans, Levis draws its inspiration from the people. How they live, what they do and how they progress. In each design that they create, they always try to incorporate the various desires and motivations of the wearer. Integrating these motivations with style is a different thing. In a world where people are stimulated by what they see, fashion is always a social orientation that can’t be missed.

So when a Levis model ramps up, one thing is definite only Levis can do that. Pioneering in authentic and stylish designs, Levis innovations are geared towards a hipper fashion. Where trending competitors tend to mark the market line, Levis is genuinely showing what it can offer. With something that is uniquely designed, uniquely different and outrageously stylish, Levis always never fail to give a good fight. So innovation is still a cup of tea going ahead with the plans and not looking back where we need to lead. As a symbol of an era and independence, Levis is a trademark that participates in the molding of the clothing history.

Girls Sweaters

Groups of young female adolescents love to look the same by wearing close to similar garments as a part of their fashion play. Though they want to achieve the identical look as a group with what they wear but still, each individual maintains the uniqueness as a person by picking the same type of clothes but with a different design and color.

Fashion for them is also a way of expressing the group's existence in a non-verbal manner. If one joins into the group's sense of fashion, it is a profound gesture suggesting that sense of belonging, which almost all individuals are in search.

But on the other hand, comfort jives with fashion. So, when these fashionable individuals go for a stroll inside the mall or go for a walk at the park during cold and windy afternoons, they would avail of the comfy feel and warmth that only girl sweaters can bring.

But looking for several kinds of high-quality and fashionable sweaters can be hard in local markets as business merchandisers often order a few number of stocks. This has not kept young girls from going with the trend as online stores have put a solution to their fashion concerns. Try looking at www.aeropostale.com, where a wide variety of girls sweaters are made available to complete a teenage girl's fashion package.

Hayden Kho and Vicky Belo's Wedding, All Set?

by , in
After the waves of struggle and tribulation, Hayden Kho and celebrity doctor Vicky Belo finally announces some details of their wedding set next year in America.

In retrospect, Hayden had been confronted by his sex scandal issue last 2009 which put him in hot water when actress Katrina Halili filed a case against him. The scenario even went worst when his license as a doctor was revoked by the Professional Regulations Commission.



The most recent of problems encountered by the controversial couple was the Quark Henares, Vicky's son from business ex-husband Atom Henares, uttered his disapproval on the engagement. He also posed a threat to Hayden if ever he causes hurt again to his mother and this attests his love for a mother. But gladly, before Quark left for further study to the States, all went well and fixed. Hayden also understood why Quark has said such statements.

Celebrity: Equal to Role Model? The Line Drawn between Expression(through the Arts) and Advocacy

by , in


Showbiz icons cannot escape criticisms and while they are still in the business, it is inevitable. Issues sometimes make or break their careers. Some even say that if you are talked about, you are assured of your continued existence in the arena.

Just recently, when Nora Aunor made her steps for her comeback to the show business, got some thumbs down from anti-smoking advocates. This was due to her vogue-like pose in the cover photo of YES Magazine with the superstar holding a cigar. She has captured the limelight yet in the wrong way as a Catholic priest commented. Philippine Medical Association (PMA) has also spoken their piece regarding artists to act as role models and not project bad values and vices, like the hazardous smoking.

The group has been disappointed for the act but I think this draws the line between art and advocacy. Though art could be an effective means for advocacy, still the freedom to express prevails, from which art is a perfect avenue to express. With this the magazine’s editor-in-chief defended the cover photo and pointed that it only depicts who Nora is as of the present: a free-spirited and more liberated artist as she breaks her silence on issues regarding her sexuality, her children and a lot more. But in the end, the editor attested full support to the no-smoking campaign. As of the latest, Nora also promised to quit her smoking in due time, as it has caused her health to breakdown and she confirmed to be one of the advocates for the smoke free Philippines campaign as soon as she quits.

Phil and Angel: Keeping Status a Secret?

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband

The rumored couple Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband (Azkals Team) had been seen together for months, in public. Even in the games Phil played outside the country, Angel never failed to give some moral support. The last time the rumored “in a relationship status” couple was spotted in a Magazine launching event held at The Peninsula Manila, they were not able to escape some speculations from the press people.

All the more the media was intrigued when Angel answered the questions in brief yet meaty answers on how their relationship was going. Prior to this event, Angel has already made a statement that they are more than friends but on the detail, she preferred not to elaborate, just kept on smiling and said that they are both happy with each other.

She also said that it could be more complicated to explain because people have different assumptions and understandings on how things go. Angel just in a more recent interview also mentioned “No anniversary date yet,” which connotes that the relationship has gone another step but still she uttered in defense that she could not define the status of the relationship she shares with the Azkals player.


Keeping their affair’s status a secret could be a healthier move to preserve whatever these celebrities do have for each other. People from the show business have learned the lesson of keeping in private their love affairs to save it from being ruined by unjust controversies.

Though they are considered public figures, these personalities deserve a private life, something ordinary people enjoy. Private matters, such as relationships must be kept for a secret, and that is what showbiz people are slowly practicing as they are already tired of media people feasting upon their private lives.

Angel and Phil had chosen not to expose their private matters to the public but as they say action speaks louder than words, their affection for each other radiates the glow of a healthy relationship, of whatever kind it maybe. It is more than obvious that both of them enjoy each other’s company and they help each other grow for the better.

By keeping the status a secret, Angel and Phil feels comfortable appearing in public gatherings as a couple. Even though Angel said it was undefined, but they are “more than friends” and her “We are happy” response, what else could we think of?

Bang! It must be an open secret.

Technological advancements are inevitable and one of the innovations that computers have brought into this modern age is website hosting. In a simpler sense, it is an online service which provides users some space to store the website contents: HTML files or web pages, CSS files, image files, Javascripts and the like. Such internet information would need a storage situated in a fully-secured place with a permanent connection to the web through high speed data lines. 

For the user’s convenience, the server must be linked round the clock to the internet. A specific IP address is assigned to the server so that it could be connected to any other computer online. Server space is another term for web site hosting. If there was no such thing as web site hosting, you could not see even a single page available on the web. It is highly required to keep functional and make stable the web connection, so that the server could be accessed anytime.

True Love Prevails in the End for “No Other Woman” movie

by , in
Anne Curtis, Cristine Reyes, Derek Ramsay

Like any other movie-goer, one could get the idea of the main theme upon reading the title. “No other Woman” would suggest another infidelity story, a common cancer in all relationships since the past. But after watching the movie, you would not get the feel of regret as you have watched another Filipino film, well-crafted and it’s more than what you have thought and greater than you have expected.

The movie shows a modern tale of true love put into test between Sharmaine (Cristine Reyes), an almost perfect wife and Ram (Derek Ramsey), a faithful husband who later gives in to a temptation. The eve-like personality of Cara, played by no less than Anne Curtis, is the tempter, who is a happy-go-lucky New York schooled playgirl. Cara does not believe in true love for in her lifetime, she has not found one. For her, a relationship is like a game and boys are not worth a fight. But things changed when she found affection which later on develops into passion and love for Ram.

Sharmaine and Cara, the two main female characters in the story have their own share of turning points. The good housewife changes her outlook and decides to project a stronger personality after she has finally caught her husband who broke his promise of having no other woman aside from her. She finally sets her feet into her stilettos and gets herself ready to defend her marriage. On the other hand, the mistress in denial, Cara also in the end realizes that she is truly in love with Derek. She had to accept in that she was just a part of the dark past of a man who wanted to satisfy his wild fantasies.

Ram does not escape emotional struggles as with his dad, whom he hates most. The root of his hate was when his father left their home for another woman during his college days. The hate feeling later led him to imitate his father by engaging in a third party, and it was too late when he realized.

Yet in the end as they say, true love prevails. A mistress’ love for the married man, made her to realize that love was not a game and was not made just for fun. The wife also shows her unconditional love for her husband as she gave up her pride and went to the hospital after his husband caught a vehicular accident.

No Other Woman also shows the acting prowess of Anne and Christine who played their roles in precision and both deserve an acting award.

Nike

by , in
Wherever your feet take you, running, not only it is a good exercise, it helps you lose weight, develop bone mass or rally your mind for proper coordination. That is why it is very important to choose the proper shoes that would suit your needs and objectives. Nike, in its own predisposition, has proven what the name carries, that is, victory. In the shoe industry, Nike has dominated the spectrum of excellence in terms of quality, sturdiness and bravura.

Nike


Formerly named as Blue Ribbon Sports, which eventually became Nike in 1978, Nike was established in 1964 by Bill Bowerman, a coach and a runner, and Philip Knight. Its main center of operations is in Portland, Oregon. Nike branches to more than 700 shops worldwide catering to 45 countries around the globe. Not only Nike is confined to distributing shoes but it extended its line of products to clothing apparel and athletic equipment to a long line of sporting activities. Its latest addition to its line of products contains Flywire and a foam in the name of Lunarlite, which makes the shoes more lighter and more comfortable. It is in this regard that Nike is topping the business line in the market world. It has been said that when you choose Nike you choose a lifetime companion.

Continued research and innovative ideas resulted to Nike not only meeting the demands but making sure that the needs and specific makes of the products they want are provided.It was in 1971 when the company released the first ever Nike shoe for soccer to the market. And it was only in 1982 that Nike promoted its products via television advertisements. It was LLie Natase, a tennis player of Romania, who first endorsed it.

If you value your money, then Nike should be your choice.

Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Coca-Cola!

by , in
When it comes to festivals and merrymaking, Davao never falls far from the list of places to go to. The annual Kadayawan festival has been a phenomenon in itself, drawing crowds of people who want to see and experience how to party – the Davaoeno way.

If you stroll the main streets of the city and even wander as far as the immediate town outskirts and you will feel the boundless energy of everyone you meet. The people here are known for the warm hospitality, engaging smiles and the ongoing love affair with food. The ultimate foodie, Davaoenos have always been known to serve food regardless the occasion – birthdays, valentines, the holidays, job promotions, graduations….even the ‘just because’ days – because as you know the family is together a reason enough to celebrate. And where food and family is, Coca Cola can’t be far behind which we truly love from the start.

And as Davaoeno’s, we share the same values as Coca Cola – happiness, pure, simple and unadulterated. This sentiment is aptly covered in Buildex Pagales’ song, ‘Madayaw Davao’…’Lahi ra gyud kung magka uban uban. (Nothing beats togetherness.) See video below and lyrics after the jump (provided in English and Bisaya translation)



Incidentally, the famous Kadayawan festival of Davao takes its roots from the word dayaw which means that which is good, valuable, superior and beautiful. Nothing could be closer to the truth because Davao is known for its good and noble locals, impeccable and valuable principles, superior culture and way of living as well as the natural beauty of the land and the people themselves. That’s why our family has never moved to a new place because we really love it here and we always look forward the celebration of the King of Festival – Kadayawan.  

But don’t just read about the festival. Hop into a plane and mingle and join the revelry. The Davaoeno way always have a glass of ice cold Coca Colas with the local delicacy – the Durian or pair it up with their wide array of delicacies. This is just my favorite!

Now there’s something you don’t see everyday! Just like the song that was composed for the festival - ‘Madayaw Davao! ….Where my pride will always lie, where my love will never die.’ Singer Buildex’ words ring out with truth and sincerity.

So what are you waiting for? Visit Davao in time for the Kadayawan festival and see firsthand the how the locals party. Party hard the Davaoeno way – it’s that simple. Engage in the festivity and try the following activities:

Aug20, 8pm onwards – Buildex Pagales Live concert together with Evee (local Davaoeno  band)

Aug21, 7am to 3pm – Float Parade, Come and see heartthrobs Buildex and Enchong Dee live and in the flesh!

Aug21, 6pm onwards – Join the back to back concert with guest bands Callalily, 6Cyclemind and Freestyle

Get the taste of true Davao happiness. The happiness in this land, much like happiness what Coca Cola brings is superior and incomparable. Madayaw, Davao! 


Madayaw Davao! Madayaw Coca-Cola! Lyrics (Bisaya)
Artist: Buildex Pagales

Lain laing luna ang atong gigikanan
Ang atong panag' uban wala’y kaparehas
Mao nga dali na, itodo na nato
Isinggit na, ang gugma sa atong dakbayan

CHORUS
Madayaw Davao! Dinhi kusog ang pagkamadagipon
Madayaw Davao! Dinhi malipayon ang kinabuhi
Dinhi ang akong gugma, dili mahanaw
Dinhi ang akong garbo, wala’y katapusan

Mao nga pagmata na! Ipakita sa kalibutan
Kini ang tinood! Ang atong garbo!
Mao nga dali na! Itodo ng kalipay
Awiton ta ang gugma sa akong dakbayan!

Madayaw Davao! Gusto namo ang labaw sa tanan
Madayaw Davao! Lahi ra gyud kung magka uban uban
Dinhi ang akong gugma, dili mahanaw
Dinhi ang akong garbo, wala’y katapusan

Dili ko garboso, gusto lang nako isangyaw
Lain lain man ang atong mga panglantaw
Usa lang ang makahatag pahiyom
Biisan asa man makaabot nga dapit
Kini gihapon ang gina binabalik-balikan

CHORUS x2

Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Davao!
Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Davao!

Madayaw Davao! Madayaw Coca-Cola! Lyrics (English)
Artist: Buildex Pagales

We are all different. From different places.
But we have a bond, so deep and strong
So come together, and take it higher
Let’s shout about it, this home we love

CHORUS
Madayaw Davao! Where the loyalty is fierce
Madayaw Davao! Happiness lives here
Where my pride will always lie
Where my love will never die

So time to rise up and show the whole world
This is “the real thing,” this pride we share
So here it comes now, dial up the fun
Let’s sing about it, this home we love

Madayaw Davao! Where we only want the best
Madayaw Davao! Nothing beats togetherness
Where my pride will always lie
Where my love will never die

I don’t want to boast, just wanna say
We may have different points of view
But the same one thing makes us smile
We may end up in different places
But we’ll keep coming back to the same one place

CHORUS x2
Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Davao!
Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Davao!

Matt Dalio and The China Care Foundation

by , in
China Care Foundation, Matt Dallio
From an early age, Matt Dalio has walked a path in life that is a little different from the average person. While most teenagers are obsessed with videogames, cars, social media, or parties, Matt spent most of his time trying to help orphans on the other side of the world. It started when he was a young boy and he spent a year living abroad in China. He attended school there with the local children and was the only non-Chinese born student in the school. At first he was an outcast but the children soon befriended him and they all became friends. From this experience, he would grow up and never forget the compassion that his schoolmates showed him when he was the outsider.

Years later, while Matt Dalio was thinking of things he could do for his Eagle Scout project, he began to research how he could help Chinese children. He soon found out about the large number of orphans there. Because of the one child limit imposed on all Chinese families by the government, if a child is born with an abnormality or birth defect, it is common for the parents to simply abandon the child. Although many of these birth defects could be solved with a simple outpatient surgery. So many orphans in China have cases of a cleft lip, or clubbed foot.

More Than a Collar, Fun Stuff for Your Dog

by , in
A dog is more than simply a pet, it quickly becomes a member of the family. That is why many people look for various items for their dog to give as gifts and to make sure that they are as well dressed as anyone else in the household. There are several different options that are available to you, including dog collars, jackets and for the special occasion, dog costumes.


Dog Costume
The collar is something that every dog should have, as it gives you a way to quickly contain the dog if necessary and it holds vital information in many cases, such as vaccination information and contact information. You have many different options that are available for you, including jeweled collars, spiked dog collars and even the super collar, which is a collar with a built in leash. Choose one that is going to be comfortable for your pet while at the same time, providing it with a little bit of flair.

Dog jackets are ideal for certain types of breeds, particularly when the weather gets cold. If your dog tends to run a little bit cold in the winter time, he is going to appreciate having one of these items. You are going to need to judge for yourself, however, whether your dog is going to need to wear the jacket on a continual basis or if it is just going to wear it when it is outside. If you’re going to be taking it on and off frequently, make sure that you choose one that is not only fashionable, but is convenient for that purpose.

Advil Flash Mob

by , in
Advil Liquid Gel

Market Market recently featured a short 10 minute skit about pain and what it does which I first saw the video from Lunch Break Blogger. It made me think a bit - pain may come and go but it doesn’t have to keep you down. It doesn’t have to be the boss of your life – dictating what you can and cannot do. It shouldn’t stand in the way of having a good time. It may come in the form of body pain, headache, toothache or even dysmenorrhea or what Advil people have creatively called: the League of Pain. Just like what you see on the Flash Mob video below. 


Any of these types of pain can be one of life’s unwelcome distractions. Just when you think you can plan smoothly or work non-stop, along comes this body pain. Instantly, you lose your concentration and your speed of thought becomes jagged. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so they say. With the EVIL that the League of Pain brings comes the GOOD that medicines can offer. 

There are now medicines to combat this kind of condition. Medicines in other forms can be ingested but take considerable time to work. This is where Tablet Man failed. Good intentions sometimes do not make the best the solutions. Thank goodness there’s Advil Liqui Gel. It’s a revolutionary new medicine in gel form that works fast! Pain sufferers can know kiss their agony goodbye. There is no need to wait in for Advil to take effect and save the day. With Advil Liqui Gel – the League of Pain becomes a thing of the past.

Mobile teaching program “Text2Teach” to expand in Visayas and Mindanao

by , in

Text2Teach
Signing the Memorandum of Agreement for Phase 4 of the Text2Teach program are (from L-R):  Nokia Corporation Directorfor Community Involvement Gregory Ephinston, Ayala Foundation Co-Vice Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, DepEd Undersecretary Yolanda Quijano, and Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu


Innovative mobile teaching program Text2Teach is set to go nationwide as it targets 850 new public elementary schools in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao for English, Math, and Science lessons beginning this year.

The plan was announced during the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for Phase 4 of the program. Signatories are Department of Education Undersecretary Yolanda Quijano, Ayala Foundation Co-Vice Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, Nokia Director for Community Involvement Gregory Elphinston, and Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu.

The fourth phase, to be implemented starting July, will finally make the program available not only in Luzon but across the country as the proponents work to bring Text2Teach to Visayas and Mindanao and to upgrade the 205 satellite schools from the earlier phases. By the end of Phase 3 in August, the total number of Text2Teach-enabled schools will have reached 555, benefiting about 40,000 pupils, and almost 1,800 school heads, teachers and DepEd officials.

Text2Teach Phase 4 also marks the beginning of a stronger partnership with the local government units. DepEd regional offices will play a vital role in teachers training while LGUs will provide bigger counterpart funding for the program. Phase 4 also sees Pearson Foundation returning to the program as a key component in developing new downloadable educational materials for English, Science and Mathematics.

Since its Philippine launch in 2004, Text2Teachhas been aiding in improving the performance of students all over the country, particularly in the three basic subjects through downloadable educational videos using Nokia mobile phones and Globe internet connection.

Using the power of mobile technology, Grades 5 and 6 students can watch any of the almost 400 educational audio and video materials loaded in the Nokia N86 8MP phones and equipped with the Nokia Education Delivery (NED) application. NED allows teachers to download and easily access educational audios and videos on Math, Science and English specifically designed for the project, providing a highly effective visual aid for teachers. It also creates an interactive, student-focused learning environment in the classroom which makes the students eager to go to school.

Aside from the Nokia N86 8MP phone and educational videos, Text2Teach recipient schools also get a Globe SIM card provided with P150 worth of free pre-paid load monthly for one year, a 29-inch colored TV, 3-day teacher training and teachers guides.

Alma Abalos Fernandez, a teacher at Carael Elementary School in Dagupan City, pointed out that the effectiveness of the program is evident in helping students appreciate a complex subject like science.

“Before we had Text2Teach, I had to rely on my imagination. I gave a lot of examples and used a lot of visual aids to make sure they understand the subject. But with Text2Teach, there is a better appreciation of what is being discussed. You can also see that the students learn faster. Just show them the video and you capture their attention. The students also retain the lessons better because they can see actual images on the video. And we don’t have to spend much on visual aids anymore,” Fernandez related in the vernacular.

Aside from improved performance, Text2Teach also helps minimize student absenteeism since they are now excited to go to class and watch the videos.
