MTRCB chair to Joey, Willie: Be professional, mature 09/01/2007 | 11:16 AMConsoliza Laguardia, chairperson of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) says enough to the "drama" caused by these two noontime TV hosts which is turning out to be a publicity circus."Laguardia on Saturday gave a “motherly" advice to the two television hosts. “I’m just appealing to their professionalism and maturity and social responsibility sa audience.

Ad of the Month..for June?
2007-08-30 19:05:00
Clearly very much delayed in updating the website, here's Adobo Magazine's ad of the month for June (July, August as well?). The concept doesn't hit the target (male like me) because of two things... I am turned off by the concept of using a transgender person which makes me think "is this the best they could think of to hit the male ego?" and second, parking your Porsche on the side street is plain crazy and unbelievable. This ad of the month(s) sucks by my book.

ADOBO: JimenezBasic resigns BENCH
2007-09-26 08:46:00
'Loyalty' nowadays is just a word silly romantics hold onto.Finally it is confirmed in the latest Adobo Magazine Issue #11. Part of the article can be read here and at the Adobo Magazine website. As what Tsismax have mentioned in a previous blog entry dated last September 17 (look for BENCH label) there were rumors circulating regarding the Agency of the Year resigning the local lifestyle/clothing giant but was not confirmed. Now that is out for all the industry to see, Tsismax' personal take on this is if you want your friends to 'remain your friends', don't get into business with them or at least be prepared to be dumped even after a long "engagement" period. I've heard of similar situations so many times I've surmised na talagang "trabaho lang, walang personalan". I've always believed in working hard for a brand no matter if you don't sleep for 3 days straight, and getting recognition for such sacrifices is merely a bonus. Before, we thought this saying only applies to in

The untold story of Angelito Sisnorio’s death
2007-09-06 10:26:00
I was in Thailand when this news broke. Was seating one lazy morning staring at the early morning traffic of Bangkok near Patpong, when I saw this Thai paper in English about our countryman Angelito Sisnorio. I recalled reading the boxing officials of Thailand really felt sorry about the "tragedy" and was somehow glad at least they were saying something and not keeping mum about it. When I went back to my hotel room, it was also part of the TV news. So I thought to myself it was a big story in Thailand ergo a big deal to them. Reading this piece today at The Manila Times internet edition made me think if we were just too forgiving to our Thai neighbors. I feel somewhat angered, even though this news came out early April of this year. There was clearly an injustice and I just want to punch somebody (not a fellow countryman) in the face. I regret loving that Guay Tiam Dom Yum Gung and Singha beer. Boxer recalls ring tragedy By Isagani

PAL makes it to World Airline Rankings

PAL was the only Philippine airline included. Read more...I just saw Cebu Pacific's ad about being number 1 in (domestic) flights et cetera et cetera. I am no Lucio Tan fan but I think Philippine Airlines has the history, the track record and more importantly the perseverance to be named as THE national carrier. Although kudos to Cebu Pacific's re fleeting and jaw dropping "1 peso" offering but the name Cebu Pacific does not in any way represent the whole nation but just one province in a slew of provinces in our island nation plus it's only been here for like a couple of years (?). My honest opinion is PAL should be accorded

BUBUWIT SQUEAKS - Ad scam or Scam ad?
2007-09-04 21:40:00
With Permission from Ms. Marjorie Teresa R. PerezADMIX Business Mirror articleTuesday September 4, 2007AD SCAM or SCAM AD?BUBUWIT got a whiff that one ad agency is resorting to a "shortcut" in bidding for creative awards in an Asian competition. According to Bubuwit, a lot of creative effort was put into the print layout of a company (name withheld upon request) and had it appear once in a newspaper to qualify as an entry. Having not even a semblance of an ad campaign, the one-time ad could have been easily disqualified. No, it was not Bubuwit who coined the phrase, "ad scam or scam ad." It was the term used by one highly respected lady manager of a top agency. grd23 said... Ilan lang ba ang mga lady managers ng top agencies na active today?
