Rumor Debunked: TELSTRA Philippines is NOT Happening NOW.

A lot of rumors circulating on the internet about Australian telecommunications company Telstra. Where did it all start? Nobody clearly knows where exactly. It may be the Facebook status that has been going around about a new player in the telecommunications market in the Philippines. Or it may be because of the photo below of a building rumored to be Telstra Philippines’ HQ.



 

Rumor has it: Telstra will provide unlimited internet with infinitive speeds just because they can. Seeing this (below) screencap on facebook we still wondered about the legitimacy of information since Telstra DOES NOT have a Philippines Facebook page.



 

So to finally put an end to the rumors of Telstra Philippines, we went to Telstra’s official VERIFIED Facebook and Twitter pages and this is what they had to say:



 

Long story short: There is a discussion between Telstra Au and San Miguel Corporation but nothing has been finalized, no agreements made, no contracts signed and there is NO assurance when this agreement will happen or if it will even happen at all.

What do you think of this issue?

He was one semester away from graduating but he didn’t have money. So his friends did this!

Facebook user Jan Ray Parayno was a semester away from graduating from college—but he didn’t have the means to pay for his tuition fee.


His parents separated more than decade ago, and they have been financially struggling to keep him in school. His father was working as a foreman in Saudi Arabia, while his mother worked as a seamstress to make ends meet.



But an unexpected twist of fate happened. His father got into an accident and wasn’t able to work well. Their finances started to plunge, and there wasn’t enough money for his tuition’s down payment. he wasn’t worried at first, knowing that his school allows students to get their schedules before paying anything—thinking this would give his parents enough time to raise money. To his horror, the school required payment before getting his schedule first. He felt hopeless.



Fortunately for him, he had his friends who were willing to do anything to help him up. One of his friends, Aldrin, realized he had excess cash from his tuition fee and decided to give it to his friend. Aldrin then asked the others if they had any extra, and were willing to help their friend, Jan Ray.  One by one, his friends Mark, JL, ‘Totoy’, Nikko, Dong, Rick, Raffy and ‘Chuckling’ gave their extra cash. They were able to raise P1,665—just enough to get him through the down payment.

Jan Ray was so overwhelmed by his friends’ actions that he wasn’t able to say anything— but all his friends knew how thankful he was. He shares this inspiring story on Facebook, which slowly attracted many people willing to help him too.

Hard times will always reveal true friends.

Meanwhile, Riza may have the big-chance of landing a good job on Facebook after a certain comment from Renee Gertjejansen Briscoe emerged suggesting Mark Zuckerberg to hire her.
Unexpectedly, the co-founder of the leading social media platform on this phenomenon have replied saying that it is a ‘Good Idea’.

Mineski-Dota secures spot in Frankfurt Major

What a time it is to be alive for Mineski-Dota fans all around the world.

The Filipino team continues to dance towards greatness, as they secure their second global LAN this season, less than a week after clinching their spot in the Nanyang Championships in Singapore.

By sweeping Fnatic in the WB finals of the SEA Qualifier playoffs, Mineski-Dota clinched a trip to Germany for next month, where they will be competing in the 3,000,000 USD Frankfurt Major, as one of two South-East Asian representatives to the biggest Dota 2 tournament of Fall 2015. There, Jay and the rest of the gang will be taking on the very best teams from across the globe, including Evil Geniuses, CDEC Gaming, LGD Gaming, and Vici Gaming, the top four placers from The International 2015.

Fnatic meanwhile will have another shot at qualifying for the Frankfurt Major as they take on Team 123 in another bo3 for the second SEA berth, which starts in just a few moments as of publication time.

Series MVP Kuku can finally showcase to the rest of the world his top-notch midlaning skills, after handily beating Mushi in the lane in the first and last game of the series, first as Windranger against the Malaysian sensation's Shadow Fiend, and later on with reverse heroes.

Mineski will now be making their return to Germany, a country they haven't competed in since the inaugural The International, over 5 years ago now.

The reason behind this is China is becoming very expensive for this industry that’s why Gaming studios are trying to find new hubs to relocate their manpower.

This is one great news to look forward

In This Videogame, Death Means You'll Never Play Again

In videogames, death is rarely fatal. If you take a shotgun blast to the noggin, a simple restart gets you back in the action. That’s what makes the twist behind the upcoming PC game Upsilon Circuit so scary: If you die in this world, you’re done. Nope, can’t even start over. You can never play again.

The goal of indie game studio Robot Loves Kitty is to see how players behave when any misstep could mean the permanent end of their existence. (They’re calling it perma-permadeath.)

The setup: Two teams of four meet in a fantasy arena, where monsters and traps threaten at every turn. “What I’m hoping happens is that the experience evolves,” codeveloper Calvin Goble says, “and that the people who live longest will respect their one life, be more cautious and careful.” Yes, only eight people play at a time, but a vast audience of spectators can stream the game live—plus they’re empowered to toss aid or obstacles to the all-too-mortal players. In the event of a perma-permadeath, a random viewer becomes the next player, like a contestant on The Price Is Right summoned up from the crowd. “The only way we can go a step up from this is if we actually start killing the contestants in real life,” Goble says. OK, now you’re really freaking us out.

Marcos: I am running for vice president

STATEMENT OF SEN. FERDINAND “BONGBONG” MARCOS, JR

I have decided to run for Vice President in the May 2016 elections.

All these talks of teaming up with certain leading presidential candidates have been mere speculations.

I flew to Davao City on Wednesday and consulted with Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. He was gracious enough to promise me his support should I decide to run for Vice President. I too will support Mayor Duterte if and when he runs for President.

Regarding Vice President Jejomar Binay, I was invited to be his Vice-Presidential candidate. There were initial talks between our supporters. But any team up with the Vice President must be rooted on a shared vision for our country, a common platform of government as well as political perspectives.

Unfortunately it would be difficult for me to tame our political differences.

For one thing, I believe that elected officials have an obligation to our people to help change the course of our nation’s history by banishing the politics of personality which to me is one of the primary causes why our country today has become a soft state where the rich become richer, the poor become poorer, graft and corruption is endemic, the drug menace pervades, injustice is the norm and government incompetence is accepted.

Consequently, I have decided to put my political fortune in the hands of the Filipino people. I humbly ask them to judge whether or not I am worthy of their trust to be Vice President on the strength of my performance as a public servant in the last 26 years: first as former Vice Governor and Governor of Ilocos Norte, then as Representative of the 2nd District of Ilocos Norte and, finally, as Senator of the country.

Thank you and may God bless us all.
