Ignite Manila: 15 Seconds Or Bust

Ignite Manila is happening on the night of March 2, 2010. It will be a special event of 16 speakers who would be passionately speaking for their chosen topics. Each speaker would only have 15 seconds per slide so it’s really a challenge to be as engaging and concise as possible. I am fortunate[...]

Globe Run For Home Year 2: March 21

Nagsasa Cove in Zambales

The province of Zambales is probably the least progressive among the provinces that are less than three hours away from Imperial Manila.

Rockeoke Mondays At Magnet Bonifacio High Street

If you feel like Mondays should always be drab and boring, it’s clear that you haven’t been to Magnet High Street’s Rockeoke yet. Rockeoke brings together the cheeky and somewhat campy goodness of sing along bars around the metro with well-established rock anthems. As host Wango Ga[...]
