Buong karangalang ipinahayag ng Department of Education (Dep-Ed) sa isang Circular Memorandum ang paglulunsad ng Larong Pinoy Sports Clinic ng Magna Kultura sa mga Mababang Paaralan sa National Capital Region.  Nagsanib puwersa ang Dep-Ed at Magna Kultura Foundation upang palakasin ang diwa ng mga laro sa mga paaralan at pamayanan sa Pilipinas.


Nilikha ng Magna Kultura ang mga pagsasanay at patakaran ng mga palaro, na inaprubahan ng DepEd upang ipinamamahagi ito sa buong bansa. 

Ang layunin ng Magna Kultura at Dep-Ed ay gawing matatag ang mga larong katutubo, hanggang sa mailunsad ang Pambansang Palarong Pinoy sa Pilipinas. Sa ganitong paraan ay di lamang mananatiling buhay ang mga Larong Pinoy, kungdi maipagmamalaki sa buong mundo na ang mga Pilipino ay may mga palaro na kasing husay ng mga laro sa pandaigdig na paligsahan.

Mula Oktubre 2008 hanggang Marso 2009 ilulunsad ng Magna Kultura Foundation ang Larong Pinoy Sports Clinic sa mga Mababang...

Philippine All-Stars: The World's Best Submitted by Matt Marquez on Wed, 09/24/2008 - 05:29. Photobucket For few short days this summer hip-hop America got served. It was introduced to something much of the hip-hop world already knew: the Philippine All-Stars are the world’s best. Take notice America, there’s a new definition of what it means to “represent.” With their gritty urban style and mind-blowing choreography the All-Stars showed up on our national stage and rocked-it all the way to another world title at the World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vegas this summer. While Rapper Nas is proclaiming that “hip-hop is dead”, and that might be true in Queens, the Philippine All-Stars showed-up like Doctor Frankenstein re-animating the impossible all the way to another world title. Yeah, they’re for real. Their style is original and might as well be from another planet because this crew is stellar. With moves that would have Cirque du Soleil fiendin’ for fix like a side-show w...

BUILDING THE RIGHT DREAM AND SHARING IT.

Posted by: Rommel Santiago in Public Blog

Remember the movie "Field of Dreams" with famous whispering voice in the wind that said, "If You Build It, They Will Come!."  I am not a baseball ball fanatic and I don't know much about  it's players, but I like the motivational drift that the movie conveys: about building a dream. Aiming for something worthwhile that you have been deeply yearning for, that something you always wanted to achieve.  It may well be that it is also what God has purposed you to achieve in your lifetime.  If you keep at it, with the right purpose, it will happen. 

When I was an executive in an advertising agency that handled the Milo advertising account in the the 80's, I vividly recall how we sparked a 'blue ocean' of possibilities in youth sport development.  We triggered Nestle Philippines to channel some of its advertising budgets into supporting the idea of a grassroots schools for sports --- now popularly known as the MILO Summer Sports ...

The wheels have finally begun to turn. After almost 6 years, Makiling is finally recording a new album. The new album, the band’s 3rd after 2000’s MEDYO MODERN and 2001’s PATINTERO SA ILALIM NG BUWAN, will be a double album.

We’ve been writing new music regularly since the last album and now it’s all piled up into a big body of works. Thus we decided to release the 3rd as a double album. We plan to put 24 tracks of all new works and a couple of remixes of old pieces.

We are currently recording at Louie Talan’s Wombworks studios at Marikina. The album will be launched in a series of events at December of this year
