Here’s the video of Willie Revillame’s “apology” over this Jan-Jan controversy. That’s how you get out of trouble when you’re in a country where STUPID rules. Just appeal to the lowest sensibilities.

Earning the WOW by building the WOW
(This is a guest post from reader Pancho Villacorta.) All the sloganeering on Earth by the best minds in marketing won’t make Philippine tourism magically fly off the plateau that it has been stuck on for the last ten years. Three million tourists a year is just a fraction of what other countries in Asia [...] Read more »
It Ain’t Bragging When You Can Back It Up
There’s a video circulting on the internet of Senator Richard Gordon being interviewed by news readers Ces Orena Drilon and Henry Omaga Diaz. The video shows, as some commenters have noted, Gordon’s trademark abrasiveness.

Good thing [...] Read more »

Manny Villar, Gibo Teodoro, and Dick Gordon to face off in Jan 14 Romulo Foundation debate
Erap Estrada and Noynoy Aquino chicken out!

Pinoybuzz returning to www.pinoybiz.blogspot.com
I’ve only recently begun rebuilding my original blog, www.pinoybiz.blogspot.com and it looks like it will entail a lot of work.
