Lolo Digong my President

I just want to share this photo that i took yesterday in the campaign rally of DuterteCayetano in Alabang. Everytime I see Mayor Duterte, I remember my Lolo who is just like him and then I saw this child wearing a 'paper cap' saying "Lolo Digong is my President".

My IPTL Season 2 Experience

2015 is the year 2 of the International Premiere Tennis League. We never missed to watch IPTL since it started last year. My mother and I are Tennis enthusiasts. My mother was really excite for Season 2 because Rafael Nadal came to play here in Manila and I was glad too although my number one idol is Novak Djokovic and I am really praying, hoping and wishing that Novak will play here in Manila next year! *cross fingers*.

 Day 1- December 6, 2015

 

I won a jacket and a cap from Manila Bulletin!

Day 2 - December 7, 2015

The day where Rafa Nadal played in Manila! All of the fans were cheering for Rafa when he enters Mall of Asia Arena. He won 2 games and it was his first 2 games of the season.

 

My mother was not satisfied seeing Nadal played from our seats. She wanted to have his autograph and picture with him. We tried our luck in the contest of IPTL entitled #MyIPTLSeat. I posted selfies in Twitter, Facebook and Instagram with the #MyIPTLseat and hope for the best. It's 2nd day and we received nothing from IPTL. We tried to go to City of Dreams where the players are staying but no luck. 

Day 3 - December 8, 2015

I almost gave up on the final day of IPTL here in Manila because we've been trying our luck for the past two days and still got nothing. We are 1 hour late before we got to MOA arena. While watching the game, there's an unknown number calling... and guess who?! It's Sham from IPTL saying that we won the #MyIPTLseat contest! I was overjoyed. My happiness that time were priceless. We had the chance of a lifetime that other Tennis enthusiasts wants!

We are truly grateful for Sham for assisting us and Ella Ling for the photos! I was nice meeting you!

Our two days of trying our best to meet the IPTL stars are worth it. Thank you very much IPTL for this unforgettable experience.

Got my License!

Finally, some ID that will prove that I'm 19 yrs old. Yeah, I always got that "Seriously?! you're 19?". 

Spent 6 hours in LTO Kawit, Cavite just to get my driver's license. Thank God, the ID was released on that day. Well, no need for long description for this post. I'm just happy I got my license!

What To Do & Not To Do in the Senate of the Philippines

It's my Junior year in college and this is the time where the climax of a college student happens! As a Broadcast Journalism student, we are required to do news packages where we need to cover stories base on what beat (topic) the professor will assign to us. 

Our first news package beat was National/Politics. Since it's Politics, we decided to search for the schedule of hearings in the Senate of the Philippines. We have the schedule, venue and names of the senators and committees but we don't have any idea how to go there and what to do and not to do when attending a hearing. So I thought that i should write about this for you guys!

How to go to Senate of the Philippines

If you're from Tagaytay or Cavite:

• In Emilio Aguinaldo H-way, take a bus going to Pasay or Baclaran.
• Go to Baclaran and walk near to Mc Donald's.
• In front of Mc Donald's, there's an orange cab going to the Senate.
• Ride the cab and tell the driver to drop you near the Senate.

CLICK THIS LINK to know another way on how to go to the Senate of the Philippines.

To Do & Not To Do inside the Senate of the Philippines

• Come early. You don't want to make a scene entering the hall and Senators, Congressman and Media people are looking at you. 
• Bring your Student ID or Media press ID. This will be your life savior! Trust me.
• Wear appropriate clothes. It's better if you wear Business clothes like slacks, leather shoes and blazer.
  

• Do not wear rubber shoes.
• Use the left elevator. The right elevator is for Senators and Staff.
• Learn to greet the guards and other staff inside. Simple Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Thank you will do.

There you go guys! I hope that this post helped you. Let me know your reaction and questions (if you have any). You can reach me here.
