Photo AlbumAnong kwento ko? (11 photos)Jul 12, '08 4:27 AM
for everyone

"Anong kwento mo?" bungad ng isang dambuhalang tarpaulin ng Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival 2008 sa CCP Tanghalang Pambansa.

"Bakit ikaw lang mag-isa?" Dugtong pa niya. "Nasaan sila?"

"Potah ewan," sagot ko. "May mga trabaho. O baka may tinatrabaho. Char!"

"Keri na. Pasok ka na; papatapos na yung show ni Adela."

At dahil ako ay nahuli sa opening film at walang oras magbabad sa higanteng blokeng gusali, inaliw ko na lamang ang aking sarili sa paglaro ng liwanag.

Ang still kamera. Kahit sa isang pitik, sa kwento'y hitik. :D

The Cinemalaya 2008 runs from July 11 to 20, 2008 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Tanghalang Pambansa. Tickets: P100 (flash your school ID and you'll get 50% discount, P350 for a day pass. But if you're filthy loaded and uber hungry for great Pinoy indie flicks, shell out P950 for a mahiwagang festival pass.


It was Philippine-American Friendship Day at the Hotel Stotsenberg in Clark Special Economic Zone when Kadangyan, an ethno-tribal rock quintet performed for the the guests of Adventure Philippines' Seminar on Adventure Tourism. There were a number of foreigners (who are experts in adventure tourism industry) around but the distinct Pinoy atmosphere was abound. Thanks to these guys, their music is one good reason why it's rockin' nice to be Pinoy. :)

Visit them at www.kadangyanband.multiply.com

"KADANGYAN is an Ifugao term which means “Rich in Culture”.

The band started from a group of visual and performing artists who shared the same passion and advocacy then they decided to venture into music.

After few performances and positive feedbacks from the audience, came more invitations from different event organizers all over Cebu, and there it started. The band was officially formed on the month of October way back year 2000.

With members coming from the different parts of the country. Kadangyan produced songs that were very distinctive and unique using Filipino indigenous instruments which were mostly hand crafted.

Now KADANGYAN specializes in ethno-tribal rock music, and likewise plays in an acoustic set-up, provides natural ambient music and performs different kinds of Filipino native rituals on music bars, on-stage, theatres, universities, conventions or even on private parties and special gatherings.

As what KADANGYAN always says that “The beauty of every place in the world is it’s own culture!”…

Blog EntryFilipinos are top Multiply usersJun 24, '08 12:22 PM
for everyone

from:  ABS-CBN online

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryID=122308





Filipinos are top Multiply users

By DAVID DIZON
abs-cbnNEWS.com

A third of the traffic going to social networking site Multiply, or approximately 300 million page views, is coming from Filipino users worldwide, top Multiply executives said Wednesday.

Multiply president and founder Peter Pezaris said Multiply gets about a billion page views a month, a third of which comes from Filipinos in different parts of the globe. This makes Filipinos the number one users of Multiply, ranking higher than users in the United States where the site is based.

Pezaris said the Filipino culture's emphasis on family and relationships is the main reason why the social networking site is so popular in the Philippines.

"The reason why we are popular here, I think, relates to that notion of friends and family, the fact that our service is much more focused on connecting you with people that you know in real life rather than introducing you to people that you don’t know. It’s a site that really plays into the cultural phenomenon that’s here in the Philippines," he told abs-cbnNEWS.com.



David Hersh, Multiply vice-president for business development, also said the integration of unlimited photosharing in Multiply is very attractive to Filipino Internet users. Most Filipino Multiply users are female, in the 18-25 age bracket, and average about 160 Multiply page views a month.

"Filipinos are just rabid consumers of content. It’s amazing. Those 160 page views aren’t just fluff page views of people bouncing from profile to profile. It’s people consuming photos, videos and blogs from the people in their world. It’s meaningful activity. It reflects the deep level of engagement that we have with our user base especially here in the Philippines," Pezaris said.

Local partner

For the Philippine market, Multiply recently partnered with ABS-CBN Interactive to tap local advertisers and launch mobile services for Filipino Multiply users. (Disclosure: Abs-cbnNEWS.com is run by ABS-CBN Interactive.)

Paolo Pineda, ABS-CBN Interactive managing director, said the company is the exclusive reseller of advertising on Multiply for the Philippines. He said ABS-CBN Interactive will also be actively campaigning to build Multiply's user base in the country.

One of the successful Multiply communities launched by ABS-CBN Interactive centered on the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus show. The show now has two sites - the official one where profiles and schedules are posted and a Multiply site where PBB fans can go online.

Pineda said one local call center that advertised on Multiply was able to attract recruits through its Multiply community site.

"It’s more of these community building efforts online for Filipinos worldwide. We want to really try to populate the brand and get more people to understand it and work on the advertising and get the brands to see that this is really a safe place to put your brand in," he said.

Real-world relationships

Hersh said Multiply currently has nine million registered users worldwide, of which 2.2 million are Filipinos. He said that while the growth of Multiply has been slower compared to other social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, it is the real-world relationships in Multiply that sets it apart and ensures its longevity.

"If your online social network is full of people that you have no real world connection to, there’s very little reason to keep you there and it’s very easy for you to switch. But on Multiply, it’s your real-world social network online and your content and it’s the discussion that goes on around that content that’s going to keep you coming back," he said.

Adds Pezaris: "It’s closer, deeper relationships which enables the sharing of personal, meaningful content to you and the continuing sharing of that is the personal documentation of your life online. Over a period of time, you build up this history like a living scrapbook of what’s happening in your life and it’s a collaborative effort because while you add to it, all your friends and family add to it also and that’s what really develops the long-term value."


Photo AlbumSummer shone after the storm (19 photos)Jun 6, '08 2:19 PM

Weary folks of Media Meter trooped to the Camayan Beach Resort in Subic for the annual communion with the Mighty Sun last May 28. But storm came and blocked our sunlight. The sea roared and raindrops pelted on our skin.

We took Nature's play of power positively. Rather sulk in our huts and airconditioned rooms (Nice interiors...), we braved the wrath of amihan with child-like glee and wanton surrender.

On this set, summer came brightly the next morning. Brand new day. Gone were the toxins of partying overnight. It was a breath of fresh air before going back to the routine of city living.

Here's a quick look at the winning images of World Press Photo awards for the year 2007.

Judges described the World Press Photo of the year by Britain's Tim Hetherington for Vanity Fair magazine as an image that shows "the exhaustion of a man - and the exhaustion of a nation".

"We're all connected to this. It's a picture of a man at the end of a line," jury chairman Gary Knight said.

"There's a human quality to this picture," said juror MaryAnne Golon.

"It says that conflict is the basis of this man's life."

World Press Photo is held every year since 1955 and has been regarded as the "world's largest and most prestigious annual press photography contest". A travelling exhibition around the world is also held in line with the organization's concern with "stimulating developments in photojournalism and encouraging transfer of knowledge" initiatives.

Ayala Museum and SM Malls played host to the exhibition for the past two years. Unfortunately, a review of the World Press Photo website showed the Philippines has been excluded for this year's exhibition.

REALIZING NEW POLITICS
with Gov. Grace Padaca, Gov. Ed Panlilio and Nicanor Perlas


P100 (P50 for Students)

"Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense regardless of how it turns out."

~ Vaclav Havel







Is new politics in the horizon? How did it come about? Why is it finally on its way? What are the driving forces behind it? Why does it have a possibility to emerge in 2010?

The struggle for a new Philippines has to take place in the areas of culture, politics, and economics. We come together to focus on the turbulent and highly charged area of politics and ask our burning questions.

Blog EntryCrayon Forum for kids of Quirino AvenueMay 3, '08 12:42 AM
for everyone

 

"Enweys, gusto ko lang sana kayong yayain na magvolunteer sa isang writing workshop para sa mga batang nakatira sa ilalim ng tulay.  Sila ay part ng community ng ATD Fourth World check out their site http://www.atd-fourthworld.org/. Di pa namin naseset ang exact date pero malamang Sabado gaganapin to. 

 

Karamihan sa mga batang 'to yung mga namamalimos sa kalye, di makapag-aral kasi walang pera ang mga magulang.  Karamihan sa kanila ang daming galis sa katawan kasi hindi naarawan at nakakaligo kasi yung perang pampaligo nila nilalaan na lang nila sa pagkain nila.  Karamihan sa kanila yung mga batang madudungis na iniiwasan natin sa kalye. 

 

Ang ATD ang isang movement na tinataguyod na magkaroon sila ng dignidad kahit na mahihirap sila.  Madami silang volunteers na nagbibigay ng mga arts and crafts workshops sa mga bata.  Iba't ibang forums naman para sa mga magulang nila. 

 

Hindi pa daw sila nagkakaroon ng writing workshops.  Nakakapanghinayang kasi nung minsang naobserbahan ko ang mga batang kasama sa community nila sobrang creative magdrowing.  Malaki ang chances na hindi pa lang natatap ang imagination nila.

 

Sa ngayon, tatlo pa lang kaming nagcoconfirm dito sa workshop na to.  Pagmimeetingan pa namin ko pano ang modules at kung pano ito ipiprisinta sa mga batang gutom sa kaalaman.  Pero nakapagdesisyon na kami na sa buwan ng Mayo namin gagawin ang event.

 

Kaya hinihikayat ko talaga kayo na tumulong.  Di kailangan na writing workshop din kayo.  Puwedeng arts and crafts.  Puwedeng photography.  Puwedeng basahan niyo sila ng libro.  Puwedeng kahit ano.  Di naman tayo magtatagal.  Isang oras lang naman yun.  Sa may Pandacan o sa kalye dun sa may Quirino Avenue (lugar ng mga holdaper, hehe).

 

Puwede rin namang perang pangmeryenda ng mga bata at gamit para sa workshop (ayan kinakapalan ko na mukha ko). 

 

Sa mga interesado, puwedeng puwede niyo akong i-email: rnavarra@gmail.com.  Puwede rin sa e-mail na ito.  Sa ngayon puro mga kaopisina ko pa lang ang nayaya ko.  Pero iwewelcome rin kayo ng mga batang to. 

 

Salamat!!!"

Blog EntryPrudente, "the best PUP president" dies, 81Apr 12, '08 1:13 AM
for everyone

Nemesio Prudente, the former president of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines and human rights advocate, died Friday morning in a Cavite hospital due to complications after a prostate operation, the Inquirer reported. He was 81.

A good friend and a fellow academician in PUP, Rogelio Ordoñez called "Doc" Prudente as the best President the University ever had. Ordoñez, Editorial Board Chairman of Pinoy Weekly wrote: "Higit sa lahat, naipunla niya sa PUP ang isang edukasyong may makabayang oryentasyon at mulat sa pambansang kalagayan. Ang diwa ng makabayan at makataong aktibismo at paglaban sa inhustisya ang naipunla niya’t napayabong sa PUP. Sa aba naming palagay, sa mga humalili sa kanya, waring wala pa siyang kapantay sa hindi mapag-imbot na dedikasyon at pagmamahal sa PUP at, lalo na nga, sa pagiging makabayang edukador at progresibong intelektuwal."

Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison in his website remembers Prudente as "an outstanding educator. He rose to the position of president of the Philippine College of Commerce and then the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. But most admirable of him was that he promoted and practised that type of education and life of action that is clearly, resolutely and militantly in the service of the Filipino people in their struggle for national liberation, democracy, social justice, development and peace.

"He articulated a progressive nationalist policy and was ever supportive of the students whenever they joined protest mass actions. He also appointed to the faculty patriotic and progressive teachers. Thus, the PCC became one of the most active centers of the anti-imperialist and democratic student movement in the 1960s, in the First Quarter Storm of 1970 and up to the imposition of martial law on the people.

"Before I went underground in late 1968, I had become close to "Doc" Prudente because I had frequent conversations with him and Prof. Teodosio Lansang over subjects encompassing philosophy, political economy and social science in connection with current events. "Doc" Prudente had a revolutionary outlook and was seriously interested in the revolutionary transformation of Philippine society from a semicolonial and semifeudal status to an independent and democratic one.

"He also actively supported the Movement for a Democratic Philippines, the Movement of Concerned Citizens for Civil Liberties and the formation of a workers' institute. He cooperated with the Preparatory Commission of the NDFP and subsequently with the NDFP. He was never cowed by threats of arrest and actual detention. In and out of the fascist prison, he was a model of firm resistance and a modest hardworking man among comrades.

"The enemy could not tolerate his ideas and deeds in fighting for the rights of workers, in promoting the united front and in making the PUP an outstanding university of learning and technical training for patriotic and progressive students and teachers.

"But "Doc" Prudente was a steadfast revolutionary patriot. He upheld his principles and courageously put his life, limb and liberty on the line in fighting for the just cause of the Filipino people. In his years of retirement from academic life, he continued to have excellent relations with the revolutionary mass movement, especially with the youth and workers. He was held in the highest esteem by the broad masses of the people. His memory and example will always inspire the people."

VideoEdith Piaf sings "La Vie En Rose" (1954)Mar 8, '08 10:36 AM
for everyone
"'La vie en rose' (French for "Life in pink") was the signature song of French singer, Édith Piaf.

Piaf first popularized the song in 1946. The lyrics were written by Piaf and the melody of the song by "Louiguy" (Louis Gugliemi). Initially, Piaf's peers and her songwriting team did not think the song would be successful, but it became a favorite with audiences.[1] An English version of the lyrics was written later by Mack David. Owing to its popularity, the song appeared on most of Piaf's subsequent albums. A 1998 documentary about Édith Piaf was called La Vie en Rose, as was the 2007 biographical feature film La Vie En Rose, which won Marion Cotillard, who played Piaf, an Oscar as Best Actress.

The song has become a standard and has been performed by many artists. It was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998. It has also become a generic song representing the French, as Rule, Britannia! and Stars and Stripes Forever have for Britain and the US, respectively." -Wikipedia
