Power Mac Center Pixelworx Awards Cinemansanas Short Film Challenge Winners

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ypur Pambansang Blogger had the pleasure of attending the culmination event for the Power Mac Center Pixelworx short film challenge where six finalists were pre-selected to get the chance to be among the 3 grand winners.

The finalists at the event were all probably both nervous and excited while awaiting the decision of the judges.

Cinemansanas is the second installment of Pixelworx, Power Mac Center’s advocacy of recognizing artists who break the standards of the art scene. It is celebrated with a series of workshops, live demos, and an ultimate art challenge.

The name Cinemansanas is a play between two words, cine and mansanas, to mean film/movie and Apple since the competition required participants to submit 5 minute movies shot using any iOS device.

The awards ceremony was held at the Power Mac Center Spotlight in Circuit Makati. A special screening of all the films were also shown afterwards at the Black Box Theater where the awarding took place.

Miss Tourism Philippines 2016 Candidates Flaunt Filipiniana Gowns at Tourism Lifestyle and Business Expo

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Santacruzan is the pageant on the last day of Flores de Mayo (Flowers of May), a festival held in the Philippines in the month of May. It is one of the May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and lasts for the entire month. Thus the month of May is filled with many festivities involving lovely ladies adorned in their elegant and sophisticated Filipiniana attires.

The Tourism and Lifestyle Expo recognizes the tradition and incorporates the Santacruzan theme as among the attractions that you can find at the second run of the event which was very successful that it had to do another run just a few days after the first. 

We've seen the Miss Tourism Philippines 2016 candidates last time on a fashion show for the event, and this time they now flaunt again their beauty at the 2nd Tourism and Lifestyle Expo on May 10 at the Glorietta Activity Center.

Lot's of spectators were at awe with the magnificence of both the ladies and their outfits. They really stood out and truly deserve their spot as candidates for a prestigious beauty pageant, As everyone knows that the Santaruzan is considered to be the "Queen of Filipino Festivals," it seems very appropriate that one of these ladies will soon be crowned and become queen.

I would have been equally thrilled if I knew who the designers were so I can commend them for their wonderful creations. All I know is that these gowns were designed by fellow Filipinos that undoubtedly have world-class talent comparable to other foreign fashion designers. Kudos to all teh designers and we salute you all.

Boracay and Miss Global Philippines 2016 Candidates

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We all love seeing beautiful women flaunt their assets and this is very evident why many beauty pageants are prime hits during grand coronation nights and our women often win a title, if not the highest, or get a place among the top 10 or 5 chosen ones.

One way to see the women and all their splendor is by seeing them wear their swimsuit so we could see how flawless and well-sculpt their bodies are. A lot of women now are conscious in maintaining their physique because the world usually relates beautiful with being slim and sexy.

The Swimsuit Competition of Miss Global Philippines 2016 is just one of the many competitions that aims to discover who among the candidates are rightful to become the grand winner. The competition was held on May 6, 2016 in Boracay island of Aklan, specifically at the Wave Bar and Lounge, and out of the 23 candidates who all showcased their beauty and physique, three stood out among the rest for best in swimsuit this year.

Congratulations to #23 Perlyn Ocampo for being the Best in Swimsuit this year. Candidate #12 Anne Antonio got the 2nd runner up and #11 Kristine Cruz is the 1st runner up.

But this story is not just to announce the winners of the Swimsuit competition because we also took the opportunity to have some fun shots with the girls during some of the breaks aside from the reguar photo-shoots at the Puka Beach, at Crown Regency Resort and Convention Center, and at Boracay West Cove... We even had shots while onboard the boat of Montenegro lines. The beauty of these girls is just so alluring that photographers couldn't stop themselves from clicking their cameras. We all love to capture these beauties and make them among pour prized possessions.

Puka Beach located at Barangay Yapak is one of the most pristine beaches in Boracay. It's hardly a hidden gem anymore since we obviously have known of it and now used it as one of the beautiful site for our photo-shoot with the candidates. Aside from its powdery white sand, the different hues of blue, green, and cyan shows how clean the water is.
