Ne-yo in Manila + Ways to rip off Araneta Coliseum
When I found out that Ne-yo was coming to Manila, I told myself I wouldn’t watch because the girlfriend was out of the country. On my way to work this morning, Wave 89.1 was having some kind of scavenger hunt for 9 teams. The prize? Actual backstage passes to the concert. Wow. And then after each commercial break, they would play songs he either sang or wrote.
I just realized, there was just no way I was going to miss this concert. Kahit general admission lang.
The PBA is a San Miguel Corporation League
When former PBA commissioner Noli Eala was forced to resign because of extramarital affairs with a married woman in the early part of last year, he had these words to say.
“…I have always believed that the PBA is bigger than any one man, one team, one player or one team owner”
He missed something in that statement - that there is one company that’s bigger than the PBA. One look at the current team lineup and you’ll notice that San Miguel owns more than enough teams to exact a significant influence.
When Editorial Integrity is Thrown Out the Window
Unless you’re talking about some porn mag, there’s just no way a magazine will survive without advertising in the Philippines. Though our land is home to the best writers and photographers in the world, that’s just how it is. Another challenge for magazines is how to make their content fresh and dynamic enough to warrant a monthly purchase. P100-P125 for a magazine can be quite a stretch for the typical C market reader.
To put it simply, a magazine doesn’t rank high on a need scale at all.
Who is Shawn Yao and the Rogue Magazine Mystery
If you love browsing magazines, then you’ve probably picked up and looked at KC Concepcion’s Rogue Magazine cover. No doubt about it, the Megastar’s daughter is destined for stardom. She doesn’t just qualify as eye candy, she’s one helluva’ talented woman as well. How can someone be so perfect?
These reasons though, aren’t why you can no longer find a KC Concepcion Rogue Magazine issue on the newsstands (you can check out the pics here).
Anytime a magazine sells out at least 85% of its monthly print run, you can expect good returns on your monthly investment.
WHAT IF, someone just suddenly decides to purchase all available copies? This strategy was actually explored when a famous men’s magazine launched a year or two ago. While this move would have prevented the title from making a big splash in the magazine market (by preventing it from falling into the hands of potential repeat purchasers), it would definitely raise the public’s curiosity. Anyone remember the infamous Diana Zubiri shoot on Edsa? Any red-blooded male would.
I’m not familiar with Rogue’s true circulation, but whispers from publishing circles indicate that a family (with family name Yao) has indeed bought every available Rogue Magazine out there.

Help Me Help You Resume Writing Tips
Resume writing is something I took seriously when I was just looking to join the workforce. For one, I didn’t want to end up in a job that I didn’t like. Two, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do back then. If anything, a person’s resume can actually become the ticket to finding the perfect job.
