Fliptravels.com was invited by the Department of Tourism together with the selected group of media for its launching of the new campaign slogan. After last year’s Kay Ganda Hullabaloo, every body’s itching and excited to have a new banner and move on from the horrid past.
Few minutes after the launch, the hashtag #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines spread on the web faster than a herpes virus in a college dorm.
But as expected, a lot of nega stars made some scenes all over twitterdom and facebook universe. And I quote “It is just another resurrected …

Ok that’s it! 30 years down the drain!
I remember being so excited to reach the big three-0, but in the later years the excitement became an unsurmountable horror. I’m OLD for crying out loud! And taking reference to the NSO figures, being an average Filipino man means I only have 38.72 years left to explore the rest of the world!
THAT’S A SERIOUS SH**!

Kidding aside. The three decades that I lived to date was a colorful tapestry of stories; the comedy, drama, musical and SciFi episodes and the glory of the …

She’s not the usual mom who would tell you that smoking is bad for your health, or nag you to be home before 9 PM. She would never comfort you if you come running, crying because you screwed up your recitation in school, she will even have an encore of that recitation to explain why you screwed up. But she is the mom who will teach you that courage is the foundation of social relationship and that kindness is its pillar. She is the mom who will push you from …

OKAY serious talk this time, shift to Makabayan mode…

Up to this point in time we are still hanging in mid-air as we decide whose “bilog na hugis itlog” are we shading. That’s why we decided to make a little research to come up with a comprehensive grid comparison of the presidential candidates’ platform, political background, track records and pros vs. cons and we thought of sharing it to you all for your perusal.

Here are the top 5 presidentiables (ranking according to …errr… 7Eleven).

Global warming is not a myth.
And we all know that you know it.
And now is the time to start doing something.
Earth Hour is an attempt to redeem ourselves and save our planet from a ruthless end.
On Saturday, March 27 2010 at 8:30 p.m., we will be taking part in Earth Hour, an initiative of the World Wildlife Fund. We’ll be joining hundreds of millions of concerned citizens in showing the world we can work together to resolve the threat of global warming.
Last year, millions of people took part in the third …

It was around 6:00 PM (manila time) I was snoozing when a tremor woke me up. Not sure about the magnitude but it was that strong that the few seconds of movement of my apartment building jolted me up from my dream sequence.
I never thought it’s a warning of nature. 12 hours later right across the other side of the globe, in Port-au-Prince a 7.0 magnitude eartquake hit the city one unsuspecting afternoon. This claimed the lives of what feared to top about 100,000 people. This nation has never faced …

In the last couple of months, the pacific ring of fire has been under siege. And now, Mt. Mayon is on the verge of erupting.
The Country’s  most active volcano could erupt within days, officials warned Sunday after detecting a drastic surge in earthquakes and eerie rumbling sounds in surrounding foothills. Tens of thousands of villagers have been evacuated as a precaution.
Scientists raised the alert level for the Mayon volcano to one step below a major eruption after 453 volcanic earthquakes were detected in a five-hour span Sunday, compared to just …
