Mayhem at the launch ofthe newestAxe fragrances

Axe, the #1 male fragrance brand in the world,made the wildest fantasiesof one hundred very lucky guys come true at the launch of its newest fragrance – Axe Anarchy. The event – called The Axe Anarchy Raid– lets loose the sexiest women in the country on a gang of helpless, handcuffed guys in asteamygame of tag. And as if drop-deadgorgeous female celebrities and models weren’t enough, Axe made the game even more outrageous by offering a two million-peso reward to the winning pair.Crazy? You bet.

Ramon Bautista gets to make co-host Marc Nelson to feel his 6-pack abs.

“This is the first and maybe the only time that Axe is coming out with matching his and hers fragrances,” says Axe brand manager Raf Hechanova.“So we thought we would launch Axe Anarchy with the wildest, most insane idea we could think of.”

Behind the scenes: Divine Lee, Chariz Solomon, Sheena Halili, Ashley Rivera, Sam Pinto, Sarah Lahbati, and Ryza Cenon pose for a photo.

The Axe Anarchy Raid gets one hundred of the hottest girls in the country– the likes of Sam Pinto, Ellen Adarna, Iwa Moto, Jacq Yu, Regine Angeles, Nina Jose, Megan Young, Nadine Samonte, Sarah Lahbati, and many more – to search for a their match among one hundred lucky guys.  The prize?  A cool two million pesos for the first pair to rendezvous – one million for the cop and another million for her robber.Sounds easy?  Well, there’s a catch.  The girls had to look under the guys’ shirts and do a bit of frisking to find their match.

“We pretty much went overboard with this one,” adds Axe brand manager Gem Laforteza.  “Things just kinda’ got out of hand.”

Getting tackled: More fun in the Philippines.

The game started with a loud police siren that released the Robbers (the guys) from theirholding area.  It looked more like a jail break than a robbery.  One hundred guys– among them the Boys Night Out, RX 93.1DJ Gino Quillamor, GMA Leading Man Rocco Nacino, and Victor Basa – were literally tripping over each other in a mad rush to get to the other side of the field where the girls were.

Regine Angeles and Jinri Park in a sea of girls.

Police brutality:  fourteen girls vs. one guy.

But before theRobbers could get to the Cops, they had to squeeze through20 beauty-queen-type girls (called “Wardens”) and 20 big bouncer-type guys (called “Marshalls”).  These beauties and beasts were tasked to keep the guys and the girls away from one another by arresting the guys and putting them back in jail.  The game of tag quickly turns into patinteroas the gorgeous Wardens tried to tackle guys who were literally leaping away to avoid getting caught. Meanwhile the burly Marshalls were lifting guys off their feet to deliver them back to their holding areas.  Utter chaos.

Ayawpapigil:  DJ Tony getting tackled by a warden.

“I totally forgot that the bouncers could put us under arrest,” narrates The Morning Rush DJ Gino Quillamor.  “I was suddenly reminded when one of them lifted me up by the shoulders.”

As the Robbers got through to the other side, the Cops were released from their holding area and a different kind of chaos began.  Imagine playing as a Robber: You’d just be standing there letting the girls almost rip your shirt off for a glimpse of the code underneath.

Robber is traumatized.  There’s just too many girls in the game.

“First there would only be two or three of them,” recounts one of the guys.  “But then more would come.  And before you know it, six or eight pairs of hands are on you.  All you could do was look at their faces.  Everyone was having fun.”

In the end, two people – internet superstar Ashley Rivera (A.K.A. “Petra Mahalimuyak”) and journalist Eric Losloso– took home themillions.  But everyone went home with an experience they would never forget. 

Ashley Rivera and Eric Losloso bring home the millions.

Experience Axe’s signature brand of uncontrollable attraction with newAxe Anarchy For Him and For Her.Anarchy For Him is a fresh mix of fruity and woody notes for a sweet but masculine fragrance.  While Anarchy For Her is a succulent mix of fruity, woody, and floral notes for a luscious and feminine fragrance.  Find out more about Axe Anarchy at www.facebook.com/AxePhilippines.

Future of Philippine Football Teen Azkals National Football Selection 2012

 The Mens National team has developed winning as part of their habit in the last three years with the 3rd place finish in the Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup in Nepal as a manifestation of its success.

The combination of the good management of Dan Palami, efficient coaching of Michael Weiss, continuing advocacy and faith to thw whole group of team manager Alvin Caranza U17- U19 and the players they have scouted all over the world manifest the formula for us to move further and make football the game for Filipinos.

However , sustaining the success entails a lot of layers of responsibility , hard work , practice and task.

A. In the grassroots level, quality grassroots experts are needed in all the 33 provincial football association to ensure the football activities are continuous with combination's of training, mind setting, practice, competitions and festival for the kids.

At the same time, grassroots experts must trained by experts not only from our country but AFC and FIFA.

B. Coaches development must be sustained. Last year, the first batch of Filipino took the AFC A license level and resulted to 7 potential New A licensed coached in the country.

According to Atty Rolando Tulay General Secretary - PFF, Continuing education is needed for coaches as quality coaches produce quality players and quality players will give more honor in the Philippines.

C. Competitions from club level to age group competitions are needed, both for girls and boys and mens and womens.

This competitions will help us identify talents for future national youth teams.

And finally, the development of national youth teams in the country is important.

This key component is important and has been highlighted by PFF President, Mr, Mariano V. Araneta in his program.

For us to sustain the success, national youth teams must be develop further and exposed to competitions domestically and internationally. Partnerships with people who believes in the game is an important ingredient of the program, Elite coaches must be further develop by assessment and continuing education for new techniques.

National Team development in any country is always based on the strength of grassroots and national youth teams TM Alvin Caranza U17- U19 said. Supporting our age group teams will help us keep the momentum forward.

(Manila, Philippines) “Purity. Unity. Seduction. Sensation.” This is the maxim of Bigfish Innovation White. Clearly, at this party, you’re in for one heck of a musical ride.

Bigfish and Freedom Music present Bigfish Innovation White 2012, the country’s biggest musical congregation of white-clothed clubbers, happening on June 23 at the World Trade Center! This year’s lineup is a who’s who of the most promising acts in electronic music today: Cosmic Gate, Myon & Shane54, Bobina, and Emma Hewitt, who are joined by Bigfish’s John Paul Lee and Chris Raeuber.

German DJ/producer duo Cosmic Gate made the global dance community snap to attention when they jumped 43 places to land on No. 19 of DJ Mag’s Top 100 for 2009. That was the same year they teamed up with the striking, silken-voiced Australian songstress Emma Hewitt for the single “Not Enough Time”, a dance music hit that earned them nominations for Best Trance Track at the 2010 International Dance Music Awards and Best Selling Trance Act at the 2010 Beatport Awards.

Hungarian duo Myon & Shane54 are another European trance tandem that’s carving a name for themselves as they gig from continent to continent. With a list of solid singles and fierce remixes to their name, even trance luminaries Armin van Buuren and Above and Beyond are fans of their work, having featured them on their respective compilations.

Also on the bill is Moscow-based trance master Bobina, whom Ferry Corsten has called “one of the most talented music producers ever to come out of Russia”. Having released the country’s first #1 electronic dance album and being the first Russian DJ to snag a spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 roundup, Bobina is hailed as a dance music god in his home country.

Joining these trance greats at the Innovation White stage are Team Bigfish’s main men John Paul Lee and Chris Raeuber.

Head to the World Trade Center on June 23 and be part of this massive trance movement! Let’s keep things pure—let’s all come in white.

Transit of Venus

On 06 June 2012, a transit of Venus will be visible in the Philippines. The entire transit (all four contacts) is visible in Greenland, North and Central America, Pacific Is., Australasia, Asia (including the Philippines), E. Africa and most of Europe as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

The transit or passage of a planet across the face of the Sun is a relatively rare occurrence. As seen from Earth, only transits of Mercury and Venus are possible (an eclipse of the Sun occurs when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun. Since the planets Mercury and Venus orbit inside the path of the Earth around the Sun, they too can come between the Earth and the Sun. However since these planets have a tiny apparent diameter as seen from Earth, the Transit is seen as a small black disk moving across the face of the Sun). On the average, there are 13 transits of Mercury in a century. In contrast, transits of Venus occur in pairs with more than a century separating each pair. Only Eight (8) such events have occurred since the invention of the telescope (1631, 1639, 1761, 1769, 1874, 1882, 2004 and the upcoming 6 June 2012). The 2004 and 2012 transits form a contemporary pair separated by 8 years. The next two transits of Venus will occur on 2117 and 2125.

The principal events occurring during a transit are characterized by contacts, similar to the contacts of an annular solar eclipse. The transit begins with contact I, the instant when the planet's disk is externally tangent with the Sun. Shortly after contact I, the planet can be seen as a small spot along the solar limb. The entire disk of the planet is first seen at contact II when the planet is internally tangent with the Sun. During the next several hours, the silhouetted planet slowly traverses the brilliant solar disk. At contact III, the planet reaches the opposite limb and once again is internally tangent with the Sun. Finally, the transit ends at contact IV when the planet's limb is externally tangent to the Sun. Contacts I and II define the phase called ingress, while contacts III and IV are known as egress. Position angles for Venus at each contact are measured counterclockwise from the north point on the Sun's disk. Related important information on the forthcoming Transit of Venus are given in the accompanying table and diagram.

Contacts

There are four named "contacts" during a transit — moments when the circumference of Venus touches the circumference of the Sun at a single point as shown in Figure 3.

a) First contact (external ingress): Venus is entirely outside the disk of the Sun, moving inward
b) Second contact (internal ingress): Venus is entirely inside the disk of the Sun, moving further inward
c) Third contact (internal egress): Venus is entirely inside the disk of the Sun, moving outward
d) Fourth contact (external egress): Venus is entirely outside the disk of the Sun, moving outward.
e) A fifth named point is that of greatest transit, when Venus is at the middle of its path across the solar disk and which marks the halfway point in the timing of the transit.

Geocentric Phases of the 2012 Transit of Venus

EVENT PHILIPPINE STANDARD TIME (PST) POSITION ANGLE
Contact I  6:09 AM
  41°

Contact II  6:27 AM
  38°

Greatest  9:29 AM
  345°

Contact III  12:31 PM
  293°

Contact IV  12:49 PM
  290°

Observing the Transit

The safest way to observe a transit is to project the image of the Sun through a telescope, binoculars, or pinhole onto a screen, but the event can be viewed with the naked eye using filters specifically designed for this purpose, such as an astronomical solar filter with a vacuum-deposited layer of chromium, eclipse viewing glasses, or Grade 14 welder's glass. An earlier method of using exposed black-and-white film as a filter is no longer regarded as safe, as small imperfections or gaps in the film may permit damaging UV rays to pass through. Also, processed color film (unlike black-and-white film) does not contain silver, and is transparent to infra-red. This may result in burns to the retina. Observing the Sun directly without filters can cause a temporary or permanent loss of visual function, as it can damage or destroy retinal cells.

Philippine nights are at their shortest and daytimes are at their longest around the Summer solstice, which falls on June 21 at 7:09 A.M. (Philippine Standard Time). This is the time when the Sun attains its greatest declination of +23.5 degrees and passes directly overhead at noon for all observers at latitude 23.5 degrees North, which is known as the Tropic of Cancer. This event marks the start of the apparent southward movement of the Sun in the ecliptic.

Onset of Rainy Season and TD AMBO

The observed weather patterns during the past fews days signal the onset of South West (SW) monsoon season. The occurrence of an intermittent to continuous rains in Metro Manila and the western sections of Luzon and Visayas ( areas under Type 1 climate ) due to early morning and late afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms and the prevailing SW wind flow, are weather patterns associated with SW Monsoon. The presence of the a Low Pressure Area (LPA) east of Visayas and it's likely strengthening into a tropical cyclone is expected to bring simultaneous rains over the western sections of the country and the most areas of Luzon and Visayas, reinforcing the monsoon trough and enhancing the SW monsoon as it moves towards the north. With these developments the onset of the rainy season in the country has been established. However, breaks in the rain events are commmonly experienced that last for several days to weeks due to the strengthening of the ridge of the North Pacific high pressure area.

Right After the onset of rainy season, the first tropical cyclone enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and named AMBO.
