Alamat is now in myGlobe!

Text ALAMAT to 2355 and you’ll get the latest news about Alamat Comics!

Right now, you’ll just get a text about our titles that are currently in the stores, and you should have bought all of them by now. The program that makes this possible is still being beta-tested, so there will still be some glitches.

Just in case you’re wondering, Alamat did not make some multi-million dollar deal with Globe. This new service is open to everyone with a Globe Handyphone. It’s called Text Site and anyone can make their own T-Site. Just log-on to: www.myglobe.com.ph and click on MyServices. From there, you’ll go to a page where you can select “Text Group and Text Site.” You can then begin to set-up your T-Site.

Note: for some reason, it takes Globe two days to approve the “domain name” of your Text Site.

Fee: you only pay an annual fee of P300.00. (And no, you don’t get one peso for every person that texts your site.)

The myGlobe site is still a bit clunky and difficult to navigate, especially when it comes to setting up your own Text Site, so you might find yourself clicking the HELP button often.

I hope Globe includes more instructions on about Text Sites by the time they launch it.

And when they do launch it... oh, my... can just imagine what weird, crazy, nonsensical Text Sites will populate the ether!

We do, indeed, live in the age of 500 channels and nothing on.

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a...

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living ...

Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...
