Noong sinulat ko na dadalin ng Globe Telecom sa Pilipinas ang IPhone 3G , sinulat ko doon ang inaasahang magiging presyo ng IPhone 3G kung susundin ang binigay na presyo mismo ng Apple .  Marahil marami ang nasiyahan ng makita ang kinalabasan ng kalkulasyon (Php 8,842.66).

Ngunit maaring madismaya kayo, katulad ko, kapag inyong nalaman kung magkano "maaring" ilabas ng Globe ang Iphone 3G

It’s summer time and there’s nothing more comforting to wear on your feet than Havaianas flip-flops. How about customizing a pair of Havs that you can name your own? Isn’t that great?

I stumbled upon an informative article, from the Price of Rice, a GMANews.tv Microsite, while trying to make myself busy. It’s about figures and informations about Rice in the Philippines. Who would’ve expected the figures would be that high. With the Rice "Crisis" that the Philippines is currently under, this information would give us insights on how it came about and hopefully how we could overcome it. My question would be, "Are the reasons and solutions, given by our current government, enough to ease the people and not make them worry anymore about the current "Rice Crisis" that we are experiencing?"

June 12, 2008 — boxing fans, especially the fans of Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao, better mark their calendars, as Pacquiao is set to move up in weight and mix it up for the World Boxing Council (WBC) title against David Diaz, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada. The upcoming fight, promoted by Top Rank in association with MP Promotions, will see a newly-crowned WBC Super Featherweight Champion and WBC Lightweight Champion battle it out for 12 rounds of boxing with the Lightweight Title at stake.

Given the nicknames, "Republica Enemy No. 1", "The Mexicutioner", "PacMan", Pacquiao (46-3-2, 34 KOs), hailing from General Santos City, Philippines, was named 2006 Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America and The Ring Magazine. He defeated the best boxers that Mexico offered including Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar Larios, Emanuel Lucero, Hector Velasquez and Jorge Solis. Winning 11, drawing 1, and losing 1 from his last 13 fights since 2003 including, two knockout victories against Mexican icon and three-division champion Morales, a dominating 12-round unanimous decision against Larios, victories over Barrera and Solis. Pacquiao’s split decision victory 12 rounds against Marquez early this year made Pacquiao a four-division world champion and avenged a disputed draw from their 2004 fight.

Diaz (34-1-1, 17 KOs), hailing from Chicago, will be making his second title defense. He was able to defend it after a hard-fought unanimous decision over the three-division world champion and future Hall of Famer, Morales. Diaz, trailing on the scorecards during the early rounds, remained cool and rallied before the hometown Chicago crowd to capture the decision. He won the decision by scores of 114-113, 115-113 and 115-112. With the victory, Diaz placed himself among the best lightweights in the sport of boxing. With 12 years of experience as a professional boxer, member of the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team, Diaz is more than prepared for a pound-for-pound bout against the sports most exciting fighter.
