Tricycle accounts for more than half of the total public transport vehicle in the Philippines, all combined, jeepneys, buses and taxicabs. They are in every street corner, ready to bring you to your destination without a sweat. They are big in numbers but they are the most less-taken cared of sector of the working masses. They don’t get to see doctors when they are sick, for obvious reasons, they only earn just enough or even less for the needs of their family, no extra money to spend for their own welfare. No benefits from the government so far! Happy to hear that there is a foundation who heard their woes and stood up to help improve their lives.    Nov. 22  at Max’s Scout Tuazon, Diliman, Quezon City,  the Madrigal Foundation headed by Ms. Therese Madrigal with its partners had a successful launched of “Para Kay Manong Toda,”  an Advocacy campaign to help our marginalise tricycle drivers to help them alleviate their lives by being heard thro...

Only in the Philippines…. Christmas celebrations are longest and extra-special. It’s a part of the Filipino culture and tradition. Filipinos are known for having close family ties and being super hospitable. Every celebration is always extra-special for them. Once the calendar hit the “BER” months, Christmas spirit can be heard and felt in just every corner.   Christmas carols are being played in the radio, tv commercials and in malls, hotels and restaurants. Christmas lightings and shows are everywhere. Visitors from other countries could only wonder in amazement how locals are able to allot the entire latter third part of the calendar year to celebrating Christmas. That’s Pinoy spirit! Part of our tradition is to fill our dining tables with bountiful mix of foods, 1) during the “noche Buena” salo-salo, and 2) on special gatherings with friends on several batches… last year I attended more or less 6 Christmas parties! J And in all these occasions, one particular food...

The power of countries depends on the economy, which real estate market is a significant segment of. More than 50% of global finance belongs to it. An impressive share, isn’t it? This market segment is most adapted to reforms and crises. However, this does not mean that it cannot be slightly improved by innovations, such as the blockchain. The technological upgrade will allow the real estate market, as well as the economy, in particular, to move to a new stage of development. While the real estate market is “collecting its belongings” and is preparing for a full-fledged move to the blockchain, there could be a Japanese company that has launched the sale of real estate for the cryptocurrency market. Also today, a couple of Bitcoins can already buy you a paradise on an island somewhere in the Caribbean. The world of real estate is gradually becoming digital. Definitely, the “relocation” of the housing market onto the blockchain will have a positive impact on its development. Th...

For shorter distances, tricycles are just around every street corne r, ready to bring you to your destination without sweating under the heat of the sun.

That way, the Foundation is hoping that at least some of their needs will be heard by means of these awareness programs. A Forum & Press Conference is set with panelist’s tha...

It was so cool. I was able to witness the launch of another new app in the market, “Motolite ResQ App,” an app that will give you peace of mind on the road….a first of its kind in the Philippines! I experienced years back having been stuck on the road due to a battery problem. Motolite’s Express Hatid service saved us from trouble then. They came just in time and put us on the go again. From my childhood years also, with a family-owned jeepney and taxicab, my father depended on this ever reliable and trust-worthy battery brand too.  Motolite is not only the Philippines’ undisputed leader in automotive, motorcycle, and industrial batteries, it is also one of the few Filipino manufacturing companies ranked number one in the automotive battery segment in foreign markets like Australia and Malaysia. Not stopping from the Express Hatid Service, Motolite coined another innovative service for its clientele, the  Res-Q App,   Motolite’s on demand 24/7 roads...
