Charice’s Pyramid out now in Amazon and iTunes!

Whew!!! After so many months of patiently waiting, Charice’s newest song is now out in Amazon and iTunes for downloads. IT was officially released yesterday and true to many of our expectations, Pyramid is an absolute hit to many avid fans. AS of this writing, it has already reached #13 in top sales and #8th most popular in Amazon. I do hope this trend will continue until the song reaches Billboard 100. Im so excited!!!

By the way before I forget, I’d like to give credits to Iyaz for doing such a great job collaborating his genuine talent with Charice.  The album is under 2010 Reprise Records. Please continue supporting Charice!

Is Andrew Garcia a Filipino?

  I have been researching and looking for more information about this  young singer from Moreno Valley, Caifornia who auditioned for the 9th Season of American Idol. The moment he got the golden ticket after performing “Sunday Morning” at the LA auditions, I was so in a rush mode to check whether this “next-possible-idol” is a Pinoy pride or not (well, regardless, he’ll definitely add a new flavor in the show).

I’ve checked a couple of websites for a while. One site says that he’s not a Filipino, but is married to a Pinay. There’s a claim that he’s a Latino but surprisingly, Andrew has a couple of Filipino friends and, you won’t believe this, one of his favorite Female artists is the phenomenal Pinay singer Charice. Check the idol website to see it yourself.

New Airline to seek domination in Philippine skies!

 I guess this new airline has been making buzz in the past few months. Who would have thought that a new airline company would be created despite the threats of global recession and sky-rocketing movements of oil prices around the world? Such a brave move huh?

Spirit of Manila Airlines Corporation (Spirit of Manila) is the latest Filipino-owned airline company offering scheduled international and regional passenger services from Manila/Clark to key Asian and Middle Eastern countries. The airline is based in the Clark Freeport Zone at Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) in Clark Field, Pampanga. Spirit of Manila is designed for Filipino and international travelers, offering safe, reliable and on-time airline services through its experienced and dedicated staff whose objective is to satisfy the expectations of its passengers. The airline offers budget fares and other innovative schemes to cater to the overseas Filipino workers. Most of the airline staff have vast experience and expertise in the areas of airline operation and maintenance. They are trained and certified in their respective line of responsibilities.

SOM is currently offering promos that can be availed of on a limited time. For as low as P1000, you can already get a one-way ticket to Taipei, Taiwan-home of the world’s second largest tower, Taipei 101 while a ticket to Bahrain only costs P15,000. (exlusive of applicable government taxes, of course). While load factor seems to be low during its first few flights, SOM is putting its marketing efforts to a higher level to create a bullish competition against other major airlines.

I hope SOM will also expand its operations and soon apply for flying rights in NAIA. This would definitely help increase load factor of the airline and awareness of the company.
