Customs Chief gets P5.3M Bonus

This I just cannot understand. Someone please help me try to comprehend how blatant corruption and malversion of public funds this is. Apparently, when the Bureau of Customs hits their annual target, they get P500 Million in reward which the can spread amongst themsleves. The Customs Chief, Napoleon Morales, got a lump sum of P5.3 [...]

The Biggest Decision of My Life (for now)

I’m currently in a crossroads in my life. On one hand I have a good career that has a lot of potential. My bosses are really good, and they’re always supportive. I can’t thank them enough for molding me into a professional and a leader. I’ve rose through the ranks in the past 3 years [...]

Pacquiao Knocks Out Diaz!

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao once again proves to the entire world that he is the best pound-per-pound boxer. True to a lot of predictions made by people, Pacman was able to score a knockout against Diaz before the 10th round. After 9 grueling rounds where Diaz attempted time and time again to come back, Pacman finally [...]

Reminicing College Days

Last Friday night, I went out with my Ateneo college blockmates and it was really fun seeing each other again after such a long time. We met up at Red Box in Greenbelt 3 for a night of good old fashioned singing, drinking, and unwinding. It’s amazing how much everyone has grown through the years! [...]

Obama-Clinton Comes Together

After months of intense and heated rivalry, Senator Obama and Clinton finally buried the hatchet and showed a united front for the Democratic party in New Hampshire. Though Clinton probably might have been dying inside, I can’t help but admire her for her political maturity. Despite having to go through a very personal fight with [...]

Embassy Club Closed!

It looks like the best party place in town is turning out to be a PLACE OF DEATH! Lol. Another fight broke out at Embassy Club and this time in included one of the DJ’s who literally mauled a 20-year old balikbayan. The fight stemmed from another misunderstanding which turned ugly since egos were [...]

Miriam Endorsed by GMA

Finally, payback time. Senator Miriam Santiago was recently endorsed by none other than President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for a seat in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The President endorsed her during the reception for her at the UN Headquarters in New York while on her state visit to the United States. The fiery senator has [...]

Meeting Senator Mar Roxas

Other than being a gaming industry executive, I also am a part-time consultant for new media and internet marketing. I get to meet a lot of interesting people because of this and one of them is 2010 Presidential Candidate and Senator, Mar Roxas. I finally met with him today and he’s really a humble and [...]

Britain’s Got Talent Winner - Street Dancer George Sampson

You know what guys, I think this show will get much higher ratings in the Philippines than Pinoy Idol or Pinoy Dream Academy. Why? Britain’s Got Talent is not just about singing. As long as you have a good act, you can audition and eventually win the entire competition. Last year’s winner was a 13 [...]

Typhoon Frank

Last weekend, Typhoon Frank hit the Philippines. Most of the people in Metro Manila complained about the loss of electricity, internet, and some even celebrated that there were no classes yesterday for all levels of school. This is a sad reflection of the level of apathy we have here in Manila. We should all be [...]

The Incredible Hulk Movie Review

Marvel Studio’s latest comic book movie adaptation, The Incredible Hulk, smashed it’s way to the box office, raking in millions of dollars across the globe. I watched it last weekend and I really have to say that the movie lived up to the hype and it made me forget the woeful Hulk movie made by [...]

Spartans with Light Sabers

The title says it all folks. Watch the video below and see what would happen if the Spartans from the movie 300 had Light Sabers instead of normal spears and swords.

Ransom Paid for Ces Drilon’s Release

Kidnappers all around the Philippines are probably rejoicing and planning on who they will abduct next. Why? Because we paid MILLIONS of pesos for the release of Ces Drilon and her crew. That’s the problem with situations like this - it’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t moment. The good part is [...]

Watching Get Smart Tonight!

I know I’m due to do the review of Incredible Hulk but that will have to wait for a few more hours. I’m going to watch Get Smart later this afternoon in the Podium with my girlfriend, Mich. I’ll just do two reviews back-to-back later when I get home. This is definitely one good and [...]
