I think I need coffee to counter the nervous anticipation I am having right now.The POP TALK episode of GMA News Tv channel-11 featuring BEACH RESORTS IN SAN JUAN BATANGAS will be aired today at 10pm. This is making me scared.I donno exactly how I will look like on tv.Maybe my uneasiness with the camera would show?I hope not.And especially during the giving of our verdict.I hope I did well there because I couldn't remember what I exactly said.hahaha Yes, I was one of the three guest...

This is for all those who will be staying in Metro manila during Holy Week either because this is where they really celebrate or they were left with no other choice but to stay home due to full occupancy in resorts and attractions all over the country.Yeah, it's so hard to travel during Holy Week.Like in our case, we almost gave up looking for a place to stay in baler Aurora as all the accommodations I contacted told me that they are already fully booked for the season>It pays to plan...

I've been waiting a long time for this one.Of course a good marketing slogan should go hand in hand with a powerful jingle ayt?Finally it's out---the DOMESTIC JINGLE of the It's More Fun in the Philippines tourism campaign.I have issue with the "banig" template still ---the picture that you see all throughout the video---but that's subject to another discussion. Focusing on the song, it's not bad.Not as impressive as the version of the Regional Network Group of Abs-Cbn which is "Piliin Mo ang...

Did you know the Coca-Cola (Coke) is already 100 years old?Now that's an achievement worth celebrating. And when Coca-Cola celebrates, they celebrate with a bang! That's exactly what happened during the COCA-COLA CONCERT NG BAYANG 2012 on March 23,2012 at the SM-MOA Concert Grounds where 10 hours of continuous concert showcased some of the best singers and bands in the country.This is Coke's way of celebrating 100 years of happiness! What a way to open summer in the Philippines! Coca-Cola...

I am not yet ready to be referred to as "travel blogger expert" I am sure some travel bloggers will raise their eyebrows when they hear that.But that's how I was called during the POP TALK episode on three different resorts in San Juan Batangas.Yes, I was guested as one of the reviewers of POP TALK which airs on GMA New Tv. I was contacted by one of the staff of Pop Talk on the same week leading to the March 16-17 shoot.Ëarly bird catches the first worm they say. I heard a few travel bloggers...

Everybody's already complaining about the hot weather. I was also tweeting about it last week until I realized I have no right to complain since it's already March which means summer has officially started in the Philippines.For us Filipinos, complaining that it's hot is not to say we hate the hot weather.It's more of a shout saying " ÿes!summer is here!" We all loooove summer. It's the time for beach parties, lazy drinking, tropical fruits and tons of summer food.Ice cream!!!!!!People have...

Last Saturday was the turn of CANADA and AUSTRALIA to outdo each other in the 3rd Philippine International Pyromusical Competition.I was in Pangasinan for a remote local festival so I sent another correspondent to cover the event for us.Both countries were neck to neck again.Here are the photos and what people had to say about the two competing countries.... Also feel free to read my first 4 weeks Coverage 11 Feb 2012 – South Korea and Malta 18 Feb 2012 – United Kingdom and Spain 25 Feb 2012...

Had one of the worst trip the other weekend. I had to travel back to Pangasinan solo on a non-airconditioned bus at night.The reason, my wife was too excited to go back because it's their barangay's annual fiesta so she and her co-workers had to go earlier (after work that is), and leave me behind. I have to be a responsible husband so that means I should be excited as well, even if it means just for her. hahaha.Seriously, I also felt excited of course.Growing up in that desolate town made me...

Last Saturday saw the FINAL DAY of showdown for the 3rd Philippine International Pyromusical Competition.It was ITALY'S turn.Unfortunately, my correspondent reported that the traffic leading to the venue,Sm-Mall of Asia, was very heavy and so he missed Italy's performance.Luckily, he was there in time for the Philippine's turn.While the Philippines is not an official competitor,it participates on demonstration basis every year and true enough, it has always been a crowd favorite. There was a...

Passing through Greenbelt Makati last night after watching an awesome theater play at GB1 when I noticed something on the wall of AYALA MUSEUM. The Giant poster which reads; NINOY: THE HERO IN THE MAN. Beside it is a big tv playing the accounts of former president CORY AQUINO about her husband.My wife's eyes got fixated with what is playing on the screen while I was wondering,is this new?Always pass by Ayala Museum but I have never really entered it.Bad me. And now this, I immediately...

This was supposed to be a date between me,my wife and our friend Marvin.He won 3 complimentary tickets for JEKYLL AND HYDE by Repertory Philippines via the Female Network.Unfortunately, he's professor in PUP changed her mind and decided to give them a test. The appointment was almost cancelled.Good thing Marvin gave us the tickets.I was from a shoot in Batangas and was kinda tired.Also had to attend the Krispy Kreme event in Alabang Town Center which I will be writing about soon.I met my wife...

I was tweeting about Krispy Kreme last Saturday and my followers in the South of the Metro were thrilled to know about the debut of a new store in Alabang.Yes, there is already a Krispy Kreme branch in Alabang Town Center.It officially opened last week in time for Krispy Kreme's 75th birthday!!! It's located in THE STREET, Alabang Town Center's new wing and this is the latest addition to the dynamic mix of retail and dining establishments in what is known as Corte delas Palmas in ATC. We...

This serves as a preview to my next post. I thought of featuring ERVIC VIJANDRE because I was with him and with another Young Urban Professional Maria Fe Orosco Bautista in San Juan Batangas last March 16-17 for the taping of POPTalk on GMAnewstv featuring three resorts in San Juan.I was among the three reviewers in that segment.I feel honored being chosen as the travel blogger expert. As I said, I will be talking about that in my next post but for now, here's a short feature on the Celebrity...

Have been dying to to this post along with a few other interesting topics which I experienced during our tour of Thunderbird Resort Poro Point last year. There were on four of us bloggers included in the tour and since the time was too short, city tour was not part of the itinerary. But since we had few hours of break provided for rest, we decided to go downtown San fernando La Union and explore as many attractions there as possible given the scarcity of time.Thanks to blogger Azrael and his...
