8 Pesos Jeepney Fare to take effect on February 2, 2011

After the taxi fare increase during the start of the year, another burden to regular PUV (public utility vehicles) commuters is about to take effect this month of February.

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) approved the P8 jeepney fare in Manila which is P1 more than the current rate of P7. The provincial P1 jeepney fare increase was also approved by the Board. The said fare hikes will take effect on Wednesday, February 2, 2011.


Via Inquirer, Manuel Iway, an LTFRB board member, released the following statements:

“The provisional increase was granted because the board took judicial notice that the prices of goods have been going up, as well as the cost of maintaining jeepney operations, affecting the livelihood of operators.”, Iway said.

“While the interest of the public is still the main concern, we must also protect the rights of the jeepney operators, who are serving vital industries,” Iway added.

Pasang Masda and the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines were the people behind the request of the newly approved jeepney fare hike.

Oyo Boy, Kristine Wedding Video

If you happen to have read on my post about the prenuptial video of Oyo Boy Sotto and Kristine Hermosa, you might have noticed that the video was set to private. This was according to the request of the couple. But after some days, finally they allowed their fans to view their pre-wedding video.

Not only that. The official wedding video of Oyo and Kristine was also made public. Check out Oyo and Kristine's wedding video below:



According to their videographers, Oyo Boy especially requested to use Howie Day's Collide as background music for the video. A bad news to their fans, the couple also made a request on a vows-free video which according to witnesses were sweet and funny.

"Oyo made one request the day before the wedding, that we use Howie Day’s Collide on their SDE. The exact same song used in Tin’s march.

Tin, on the other hand, wanted the SDE soundbites and vows-free. A bummer for those who weren’t there, the two did exchange some sweet and funny words that day. But like I said, they got exactly what they wanted." says Threelogy Video Corporation, the official wedding videographer of Oyo and Kristine.

Once again, you can check the prenuptial video HERE.

Misa Campo spices up February 2011 Issue of FHM Philippines

Another certified hot babe is gracing FHM's cover! The famous car show model Misa Campo is covering FHM Philippines' February 2011 issue.


Born Michika Devieux, the 23 year-old Filipino-Dutch model was born and raised in Canada and is now based in the US. She has been featured and covered various men's and sports magazines including Maxim (USA) and Uno (Philippines).

Here is what FHM Philippines says about their sexy February 2011 issue Covergirl, Misa Ocampo:

Believe it, it's true!

Two things you need to know about FHM Philippines February 2011 cover babe Misa Campo: First, she’s Pinay. Second, the famous car show model in the US has long hit it big on the internet. One thing you might want to know is that like you, we’ve been crushing on this babe for a very long time.
If you think we’re being a tad too eager and a hair too excited, well, that’s ‘cause we are.

FHM staffers have been crushing on Misa ever since we chanced upon this car show model on the internet one lousy, lazy day a lifetime ago.

Soon, FHM staffers were competing against each other, looking for the best photos to turn into a screensaver, a wallpaper, a slide show even.

She gave us a jolt that lousy lazy afternoon; she’s giving us a jolt now.

Pretty packed for the quickie that is the 28-day February! What you waiting for? Grab a copy today!

A Happy Sunday

I got so much to be thankful for, today. Firstly, I was able to wake up early to exercise a bit. I usually wake up late on Sundays. Good thing my phone's alarm clock worked this time. Most of the time it doesn't since it does not wake me up. (Yeah, I am blaming the phone... Haha)

Secondly, I arrived at the Church just minutes before it started. Glad I was not late and was able to take a comfortable seat beside a gorgeous being... (Nagkataon lang po... I don't usually attend the mass to flirt... But I also do sometimes, though... Toinks... Nyahaha)

Lastly, I am grateful that I decided to pay my internet bills today since the cute cashier was on duty. (Oh damn! How lovely are those eyes! Wahehe)

Photos of Shirtless Justin Bieber hit the Web!

Supposedly to be sent to his girlfriend Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber's photos while posing shirtless have been circulating the web, recently.

Laramag reports that while doing a shoot, Justin Bieber asked his stylist to take some pictures of him using a Blackberry phone while half-naked to be later sent to his girlfriend, Selena Gomez. But obviously, the shirtless Justin Bieber pictures ended up in the internet.

“Justin was talking to the stylist, asking her to take sexy pictures of him for his girlfriend. He was just being cute about it, joking around, but he definitely wanted to look good for this girl. He never said the name Selena, but we knew who it was.”

More shirtless Justin Bieber photos below:

Shaina Magdayao calls Ruffa Gutierrez at 2AM!

It seems like beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez is still not out of the picture of John Lloyd Cruz - Shaina Magdayao love affair. A new intriguing issue is buzzing around the web and papers that John Lloyd's ex-girlfriend Ruffa received a call from Shaina in the middle of the night at exactly 2 in the morning!

The above photo is from an old issue but may be related to this one. Credits to the owner of the pic. :D

And take note, according to reports, Shaina was said to be crying while talking to Ruffa on the phone!

Tweetbiz host Tim Yap confirmed the incident saying that he received a response via text message from Ruffa after he asked her about the issue.

"Realllyyy? Who said?? Yes she called but I were half asleep next to my girls (hellow it was 2 am!) so I couldn't talk. Simply told her that if she had a problem...to go ask JL not me. That's all I'm gonna say Timmie. Pasensya na. Kaloka!" the SMS message reads.

Star Magic who is handling Shaina also released a short statement confirming Ruffa and Shaina talking on the phone:

"Yes, it's true. The ladies had a private and cordial talk." according to Star Magic.

Ruffa did not reveal what was Shaina's reason of calling so late. She only said:

"For those waiting for my pasabog or tell-all...I'm soooo sorry to disappoint you but it's not gonna happen. You can wonder & guess all you want, give your blatant opinions, sweet or violent reactions but at the end of the day tweeties it's our lives, our happiness & frankly none of anyone business." Ruffa posted on Twitter.

What could Shaina's reason for calling in the middle of the night possibly be? Are John Lloyd and Shaina having problems in their relationship? Feel free to comment below.. :D

Palawan, Philippines makes it to National Geographic's "20 Best Trips of 2011" list

The National Geographic Traveler editors recently released their list of 20 best destinations to consider in 2011. The beautiful island of Palawan, Philippines made it to the list!


Qouting NatGeo:

"Palawan’s limestone karst cliffs, coral atolls, mangrove forests, sugar-white sandy beaches, and extensive fringing reefs create one of the Philippines' most biodiverse terrestrial and marine environments. Designated as a fish and wildlife sanctuary in 1967, the Philippines' largest (in total land area) province encompasses nearly 1,240 miles (1,995 kilometers) of coastline stretching across 1,768 islands."

Yeah, I heard so much about Palawan. For sure, I'll be packing for a trip to El Nido one of these days if I can have time and money.. It's been my long time dream to visit this marvelous place... :D

By the way, you can check NatGeo's article on Palawan HERE.

Sarah Geronimo, Gerald Anderson's new movie "Just The Way You Are" in the works!

Update: The new title of the movie is "Catch Me I'm In Love".

An interesting team up of the Pop/Box-Office Princess Sarah Geronimo and Action Drama Prince Gerald Anderson is currently being cooked. Yes, the two Kapamilya stars are working on their first movie together entitled, "Just The Way You Are".


The taping of the new movie started without a title and now it has been revealed and confirmed by a blog that "Just The Way You Are" will be its title.

Hmmmmm... What do you think about it, guys? How does the title appeal to you?

And since we witnessed on the axed TV show "Idol" that Sarah-Sam and Sarah-Coco weren't successful pair ups, do you think Sarah-Gerald loveteam would work this time around?

I also wonder if Bruno Mars who is coming to Philippines for a concert will be recording his song with the same title for the movie... :D

Daniel Matsunaga Elevator Scandal : Daniel Kissing a Girl in an Elevator Caught on CCTV?

While video hopping on Youtube, I found a controversial video containing Daniel Matsunaga in its title. It shows the Brazilian-Japanese model kissing a girl inside an elevator! I am not sure if it is really Daniel Matsunaga although the guy really shares similar features of the Kapuso hunk. The video looks like a CCTV recording and it is dated January 8, 2011.

So I searched for info about the "Daniel Matsunaga Elevator Scandal" and found out that the incident happened on a go-see last January 8, 2011. They say that Daniel was flirting one of the female models during that go-see. Some people who noticed it got suspicious and found a way to get a copy of the CCTV recording to know what happened inside the elevator.

If it is really Daniel Matsunaga, I wonder how he would explain the video to her girlfriend actress Heart Evangelista.

Watch the video below:



Update: Heart Evangelista tweeted this awhile ago:

"dont worry guys...if you saw it..somethings cooking:)"

Hmmmmm... Must be just a mere viral marketing gimmick... No wonder the kiss was hidden on the clip.. :D
