Education is one of the most important things that every man should have. It is an essential thing that we need to survive in this huge planet. And better educations means better people. And that’s why Lopez Family invested a lot, not in commercial business, but in building a better educational institution for the people.

Lopez made its first donation to Asian Institute of Management in 1968 through Eugenio Lopez Foundation Inc, led by Mr. Eugenio Lopez. He believes that it is important to have a good quality of educational institutions in our country to help our fellow countrymen. “Through its support to AIM, the Foundation extends its vision to the future by making possible educational opportunities from which it is hoped will come tomorrow’s professional managers dedicated to building a more productive society,” Eugenio Lopez said. This donation helped the AIM to construct their main building and dormitory and was the single biggest donation made by a private business to an educational institution that time. (more…)

From doing school stuffs up to different blogging networks and earning more money online, this week’s What’s Up post is really awesome. Here’s the update.

Right now, me and my classmates just had the first two weeks of the first semester for school year 2010-2011. It was just the usual thing – boring but fun. There’s no new classmate except those irregular students having classes with our section. And so far, our professors looks really good. They teach very well, especially our professors in Differential Equations Engineering Mechanics (ok, our professor in Engineering Mechanics talks softly which makes you really sleepy but he’s so good, I understand all his lessons).

Are You the Philippines' Smartest Driver?

Did you know that the number of cars on the planet is increasing three times faster than the population growth? This only means that, the fuel needs of these massive number of cars in our planet is increasing too. But we all know that there’s a time that someday, fuel will be no more. And that’s why, we need to learn to minimize our daily fuel consumption.

And this month, Pilipinas Shell, one of the leading fuel companies on our country, is having an event dubbed as “Are You the Philippines’ Smartest Driver?”. This event/competition aims to help and teach our fellow Filipinos to learn how to minimize fuel consumption, to save money and of course, to save our mother nature. This competition is looking for Philippines’ Smartest Drivers – the one who has the knowledge of minimizing fuel consumption, can get the most out of every drop and the grand list of fuel saving tips on his mind. Everyone with a valid driver’s license is invited to join this competition (as of now, I’m thinking of joining this!). (more…)

From new blogs to new SEO tricks, from another new beginning and an end, this week’s What’s Up post is full of updates. And by the way, I am happy to say that I decided to make this “What’s Up?” post be published weekly.

Blogging news:

May has been a very busy month for me as a blogger. I created another blog, but I don’t want to announce it yet (yeah, I want to keep it a secret blog but if you find it, it’s okay). I created another blog where I can practice my SEO skills. Yes people, I am now doing some SEO stuffs. I do this not because I am bored with creativity stuffs, but because I need it. I think, a blogger like me who has no job (I’m still a student) and no source of money to pay for web hosting fees and domain name fees really needs to do SEO things to make some money online. So, I created that blog. And as of now, I have three blogs, this blog, the Blasting Mind and the secret one.

What's Up?

Choosing the right Presidential Candidate s a real tough task. But fortunately, GMA Network helped us to do this task. The Kandidato – a special TV episode by GMA Network which features the Presidentiables of the Philippine Elections 2010 for TV’s toughest job interview. In this TV show, the candidates running for Philippine presidency got the toughest questions from Howie Severion, Arnold Clavio and Malou Mangahas on their platforms and issues.

I’ve watched the special TV episode. Manny Villar – the one who said that it’s not impossible to solve the issue in ending poverty – took the job interview, I am very impressed with him about what he said about the issue regarding the land reform and the farmers. He said that the right thing to do with it is to solve this issue, and after solving the issue, the job won’t end there. The government should still support the farmers for better irrigation, better facilities and more. I am impressed because some of my relatives have their own rice farms. They plant rice for living, and I can see that they really need more support from the government, especially when natural calamities struck the farmlands. But if  you don’t like Manny Villar, I suggest reading the ten reasons to vote for Manny Villar.
