People & Interviews

We welcome 2012 with open arms. We encourage you to do the same, as we know that some of you may be grumbling and dragging your way to work this morning. Wake up and smell the fresh air. Have you noticed that there was not much "paputok" this year? I used to wake up to smog covering the entire Metro Manila. Anyway, this year, for us, started better than how we start each year. We hope that you started your year right, as well.

It's been a long journey for the Philippines' boxing hero, Manny Pacquiao. Today is the day! We wish you all the luck, Manny :) We, Filipinos, are behind you all the way.

Happy birthday to the best technical director ever, EJ Arboleda!
