Their names sound ordinary, but right now they’re the hottest new stars from the Viva Artists Agency. Unfortunately for me, I don’t know who they are yet, but I’m sure I’ll hear more and more […]

The cool mountain air is the first sign. As you drive along the snaking mountain roads, pine trees almost barring your sight of the next bend, you begin to question whether you’re still in the Philippines. After five to six hours of driving, you’ve almost forgotten the the busy, smoggy, humid place you once called […]
We’d like to know more about you, our dear readers. If you could take a few seconds, please answer our poll on the right. We want to know where you’re from. Other than the Philippines, we’ll just go by continent. We didn’t include Antarctica but if you’re from there, feel free to let us know! […]

This is part 2 of our interview with Angelo Fernandez of NBA Obsessed, a b5media […]
Alam niyo ba? Do you know?
Do you want some Tagalog reading material? There is a Tagalog version of Wikipedia where you can get encyclopedic information that is specific to the Philippines.
Some trivia from the main page, Unang Pahina:
Alam ba ninyo…
…na naglalaman ang paelyang Pilipino ng higit na nakararaming húling-dagat kaysa sa uring Kastila?
…na ang […]
A few weeks ago, I struggled with remembering the Tagalog word for “crazy”. There are several direct translations of this word, and I couldn’t find the exact one that was needed then.
