Pinoy in Singapore

In probably one of the least exciting fights by Manny Pacquiao, Pacquiao won by unanimous decision with a scores of: 120-108, 119-109, 119-109. It turns out Manny was better off practicing his song number for his after fight party during his final workout. Clottey was fighting not to be knocked out instead of fighting to [...]

Here’s a must-read well written profile about Manny Pacquiao by Andrew Corsello for GQ Magazine. It’s so interesting that I got through all 7 pages without getting one bit bored. This piece to me is like watching an Al Pacino / Robert de Niro fictional movie directed by Guy Ritchie. Strange, ruthless, ironic and humorous. [...]

Got this from facebook and Calvin’s hub.  Watch Pilipinas Got Talent favorite Jovit Baldivino belt out Journey’s Faithfully.  Ok, first let me say I don’t get to watch Pilipinas Got Talent.  But I am pretty sure that Pilipinas got a LOT of talent.  And Jovit is one of them.  Sphere: Related Content

I got this link through one of those forwarded emails (which I usually don’t read).  This is a short movie by Ferdinand Dimadura that won the 2006 Berlin International Film Festival on the theme food, taste and hunger.  The story is moving and the song he created to go with it fits perfectly.  I hope [...]

I found this clip of Manny Pacquiao and David Diaz post game interview on YouTube. I love it that Manny is still always humble, grounded, and gracious even after having so many victories. When asked about which fight between Marquez on the same weight class and moving up a weight class against Hatton he’d rather [...]

In an article by Abdullah Al-Maghlooth | Al-Watan published on the Arab News last June 16, he talks about how Filipinos affect their lives in Saudi. It is really heartwarming. Nobody here can think of a life without Filipinos, who make up around 20 percent of the world’s seafarers. There are 1.2 million Filipino sailors. [...]

But for just P450 a month or P15 a day we can help these families by giving [...]

It’s just amazing! And it’s really nice that she’s proud to let [...]

When I hear the name Illac Diaz, for some reason what comes to mind is his Johnson and Johnson baby oil ad way back when I was high school – probably because he was shirtless. But now, he’s famous for the many awards he is reaping for Sphere: Related Content

Mr. Tsiken and I feel really fortunate that an opportunity to pursue greener pastures crossed our paths though we’re a little bit guilty since we’re probably contributing to our country’s brain drain.  So to make up, we wanted to share the gift of education to the less fortunate children of our country.  For only P450.00 [...]
