Operation Tulong By SM To Help Affected Typhoon Victims

Now that the stormed Pablo has passed the islands of Mindanao and Visayas, it time to rebuild and help our fellow kakabayans down south. As we here in Luzon are fortunate enough to have never felt the wrath of the typhoon this Christmas season. It would be a great and noble deed to share what we have for the victims of the recent super typhoon.

You can be part of rehabilitaion revolution with SM supermalls' Operation Tulong in selected SM Malls in the country. You may also donate through the SM Foundation Inc. Banco De Oro account number 15000-706-94.

Operation Tulong Express at SM City Cagayan De Oro had 1,221 families using the grounds of the mall as shelter during the height of Typhoon Pablo (composed of 4,838 individuals), which was 13.5% of the total number of evacuees during the Typhoon in Cagayan de Oro. With that, we'd like everyone to know that we are accepting donations for those who have been affected by the Typhoon. We have also set up Operation Tulong Express in SM Lanang Premier and SM City Davao.

BPI Family Bank FREE 1-Year Comprehensive Insurance with Acts of Nature Coverage

Extending for another time to our valued clients

BPI Family Auto Loan is calling on car buyers to take advantage of the FREE 1-year comprehensive insurance with Acts of Nature Coverage before it ends on December 21, 2012. 

This promo was initially implemented from February 1 to June 1 this year, but was extended several times to cover most of 2012 because of the clamour from BPI’s clients who have earlier planned to buy their new cars this year. The promo aims to make car ownership EASY for BPI clients as the initial cash payment for buying a car (Down payment + LTO registration + chattel mortgage + comprehensive insurance) is drastically reduced with the free comprehensive insurance. The cost of a comprehensive insurance usually amounts to three percent of the market value of the car which means a savings of about PHP 30,000.00 for a car worth PHP 1, 000, 000.00.

MUSIC LYF: Kimpoy Feliciano Media Conference

He may be based in New Zealand, but his time to shine here in the country is still trending. Kimpoy Feliciano is now on a roll and going further beyond being a social media influencer with the launch of his debut album under Universal Records. 

He does not hail from celebrity clans or artista searches on TV, but he gained popularity with social media sites like twitter and youtube. Particularly, the first time I saw him was in the "Teach Me How To Dougie" video. 

Even with his family's migration, it is still the internet that links him and his followers together and also giving them news about him. And now with his album, he came back to the country to promote it personally to fans and also had his 1st media conference with the bloggers. With a number of trending topics he made through the years, Kimpoy goes further with showing his talent in singing. The album contains a CD and a DVD where his videos are included. 

If you are a Kimpoy Feliciano fan, I have a treat at the end of the post...

Axe Anarchy Island Bikini Auction Party

Saving the environment has never been sexier with Axe Philippine’s Sexy Saves Boracay project!  And he last part of the project is extra steamy.

Axe Philippines wanted to take the eco-friendly project a bit further by coming up with something that they’ve never done before.

So, you may be asking what exactly is a “Bikini Auction Party”. Well, it’s pretty weird.
