this is on the amiel alcantara story that has been featured in wawam.wordpress - abs-cbn ran a story on wawam.wordpress starting a signature campaign. we think it's a big thing that a philippine-based internet blog gets featured on a high rating news program aired nationwide.

WAWAM! on The Manila Standard Today front page
this happened last year during the height of the atenista-burns-wood-with-names-of- la-salle-players-in-bonfire celebration last year at the ateneo after ateneo won the UAAP championship - WAWAM! blogspot was mentioned on the front page of The Manila Standard Today newspaper. (view pic of first page of the newspaper here: http://dynamic2.philonline.com/pdf_October_2008/pdf_oct6_2008.pdf)
we only found out this week when we googled the name "wawam". we wanted to get a google check on where "wawam" is being published around the net.
this was the article printed on the paper:
though our thank you is coming some months after the fact, we like to thank The Manila Standard Today for the exposure and publicity.

Ateneo apologizes to La Salle over bonfire
THE president of the Ateneo de Manila University has apologized to the De La Salle University community over photos that showed wooden planks with the names of La Salle’s basketball players, which were later burned in a bonfire on Sept. 30.
Ateneo alumnus and former Standard Today columnist Jesse Paredes, brother of musician Jim Paredes, admitted to “producing the materials with the names of the Green Archers and placing them prominently in the woodpile before the bonfire.”
Jesse, in his letter to Ateneo president Fr. Bienvenido Nebres dated Oct. 3, said he was apologizing for putting Nebres in a “queasy situation” because of the “backlash” created by what he did.
On Oct. 2, Nebres sent a letter to La Salle president Armin Luistro apologizing for the incident.
“Unfortunately, none of us saw it ahead of time, because the woodpile was covered by a tarp against the rain until the time came to light it,” Nebres wrote.
Several Internet blogs were busy the past few days with postings from people claiming to be students or alumnus or parents of students from La Salle and Ateneo condemning the incident, which apparently came to light only after photos were posted in cyberspace.
One of the photos showed the unlit woodpile with planks bearing the names of La Salle’s basketball players, and another showed a man placing the planks on the woodpile. Standard Today obtained the two photos posted by a Veepee Pinpin on the WAWAM! blog.
Most postings on the blog condemned the incident. One post said this was in response to the supposed La Salle cheer “Burn, Ateneo, burn.”
Ateneo won the seniors basketball championship of the 71st season of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines games on Sept. 21, sweeping La Salle in two games of the finals for their fourth title.
The last time Ateneo won the championship was in 2002.

WAWAM! and angelica panganiban at The New York Times blog
WAWAM! and angelica panganiban appears in a blog in The New York Times.

just a note for those not familiar with philippine advertising on these types of ad materials.
these are actually large calendar posters that serve as pin up posters, put up in many men's rooms and places where men congregate. these pin up posters have the same functionality and desirability as that of the playboy and penthouse centerfolds with a plus, a calendar.
these calendars are hot items. they are originally meant to be posted in sari-sari stores (small neighborhood retail stores, much smaller than a 7/11) but never reach the intended destination. they are instead given as "gifts" to special customers (and friends) or if you see a salesman's truck in your neighborhood, something you beg for. they are very much sought after like a collector's item.
ginebra san miguel inc. is the largest gin drink distiller in the philippines with ginebra san miguel gin as the dominant leader. in fact, the philippines is the largest gin market in the world, making ginebra san miguel the best selling gin in the world.
as posted previously, it is some kind of a tradition for ginebra san miguel and all other local hard liquor brands in the country to produce and release these pin up calendars every year. i doubt if it has any brand equity building or volume generating abilities, it's really just one of those things you do every end of the year to waste advertising money.
all the pin up calendars are the same - they feature the latest sex sirens, the acknowledged sexiest actresses of the current year all dressed as little as possible, in the skimpiest of bikinis or just towels or plants to cover their private parts.
these actresses are called "bold stars" (as in boldly reveal as much flesh, in the nude too) but the weird thing is these actresses don't actually appear in movies. there is no movie industry in the philippines to speak of, very few local movies are produced as most of them don't make money. the philippine audience prefer hollywood movies or free tv.
these "actresses" do their bold poses in men's magazines like FHM. Angelica Panganiban has been in the cover of FHM many times over but all of them before this photo shoot when she still had the body that did not need the magic of the photoshop.
