Metro Manila Film Festival Philippines Copies Tribeca Film Festival Logo for Social Media Campaign

Like I said, the blatant gaya-gaya puto maya case of "Design and Idea theft" is going around social media, what's alarming is that both cases of intellectual property theft in the Philippines are both started by government offices. Was this an intentional, brazen bit of idea theft?

Here's the second social media case:

 

The Metro Manila Film Festival 2015 was quick to erase their tracks on their social media campaign blunder as a hawk-eyed film reviewer quickly spotted their typeface attempt. 

Epic fail pa rin kasi a FilmPoliceReviews.com was able to screen cap the Metro Manila Film Festival's online attempt na mag-neknok ng Tribeca NYC filmfest logo.

 And matapang si kuya, parang si Heneral Luna lang ang peg at good for him for calling out MMFF 2015 on that!

The Metro Manila Film Festival Philippines responded by taking
their site down for a while.

Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines Steals a Pinoy Artist Baybayin Logo for their APEC event

This week alone there are two cases of  "Design and Idea theft" gaining traction on social media, what's alarming is that both cases of intellectual property theft in the Philippines are both started by government offices. Was this an intentional, brazen bit of idea theft?

Here's the first social media case:

Asking artist for samples then blatantly lifting his ideas off, the graphics and mixing them with yours - well doesn't make them yours?

Face palm moment is that the Philippine Government branch in question is Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines

So what will be explanation here? They were to stressed for the APEC summit? They had a clueless staff member just make a collage of a logo that would suffice their superiors?

For a more details on the issue visit the site Baybayin.com which knows the artist (who has the original EPS files). EPS are raw vector files which you can open on Illustrator. Most artist draw by hand using a pen tablet on Adobe Illustrator.This is a high resolution file, dun pa lang alam sha na ang source ng artwork.

Bakit Naka Upo Lang si Apolinario Mabini sa Buong Pelikula ng Heneral Luna?

Just to translate -  in one screening of the Pinoy movie "Heneral Luna," a girl walking out the cinema with her boyfriend wondered out loud - "How come Apolinario Mabini was sitting all the time?"

Okay, let's just say the girl didn't grow up in the Philippines or she was probably spaced out during her Aralin Panlipunan class during her whole grade school years... so the whole thing is just sad and says a lot about the sorry state of our education system in the Philippines.


Here's quick historical tidbit:

Apolinario Mabini was a Filipino revolutionary leader who fought for the independence of the country. Being a cripple, didn't stop this man from being tenacious, he was dubbed the "Brains of the Revolution."

Mabini was struck by polio in 1895, and the disease gradually incapacitated him until January 1896, when he finally lost the use of both his lower limbs.

 

Okay nood pa more, para may ma-upgrade ang mga utak. Get to know your Pambansang heroes!

Bala sa Bagahe: NAIA Airport Staff Asks Balikbayan to Pay P500 for Bullets in her Luggage

Isang Pinoy balikbayan mula sa Long Beach California ang hinarang sa NAIA dahil may nakitang mga bala sa kanyang bagahe.

May bagong raket na naman ang staff sa NAIA. Mag-ingat po mga balikbayan pauwing Pilipinas.

The luggage pocket where they supposedly "found" the bullets.

Mrs. De Guzman's luggage went through the NAIA x-ray machine and she was flagged for carrying bullets in the pockets of her travel luggage.

I reiterated that those bullets were not mine and that I have no idea where they came from. Aba, bakit naman ako magdadala ng bala sa airport! At san ako kukuha ng bala?!?!

Without any other question towards me, they asked for my passport and my greencard. They threatened that they will be putting this on my record and will reflect on all my future travels.  

Eto ang buong Facebook post ni Ginang De Guzman :

Nakakaloka talaga ang NAIA!!! I just got off a flight from Manila to LAX at talaga namang ang pangongotong sa Pilipinas e hindi natatapos!!!

I got to NAIA Terminal 2 between 6:30-6:45PM September 18, 2015. I was in a wheelchair and only had three bags. Pagdating sa NAIA tinulungan ako ng mga porter. One was pushing my wheelchair and the other was pushing my baggage. My bags were xrayed as per procedure. Pero paglabas ng mga gamit ko galing sa xray e bigla akong tinawag ng NAIA staff! isip isip ko e wala naman akong dalang kahit ano, pagkain lamang! Lumapit agad ang isa at binulungan ako na baka daw may dala akong anting anting o agimat o kung ano man na baon ko sa baggage. Diyos ko po, wala naman akong alam dun!

Sabi ko pa baka hindi akin ang baggage na yan kasi sunod sunod naman ang mga ine-X-ray. Inulit nga nila, tapos tinawag ako nung NAIA lady staff na may baon daw akong kakaiba sa bagahe.

Pinasok ng lalaking staff ang kanyang kamay sa bulsa ng bagahe ko habang nakatalikod sakin. Pagharap niya e nakasara ang kanyang kamay at patago na binuksan ang kamay! Paglabas -- aba'y may hawak na bala!!! dalawang bala ang nilabas niya. Wala nang tingga ang isa at ung isa e buo pa!

Without any other question towards me, they asked for my passport and my greencard. They threatened that they will be putting this on my record and will reflect on all my future travels. I reiterated that those bullets were not mine and that I have no idea where they came from. Aba, bakit naman ako magdadala ng bala sa airport! At san ako kukuha ng bala?!?!



Umalis ung babae't lalaki na kausap ko. Dala dala nila ang passport at greencard ko. Hindi ko alam kung ano gagawin ko. Wala akong alam sa balang yon!!! Pinaghirapan ko ang greencard ko at napakatagal kong inaayos un. Bigla biglang magkakaroon ako ng record na wala naman akong ginawa!

Pagbalik ng babae, sinabi ko na baka pwedeng irecheck kasi hindi talaga sakin ung mga bala. Baka kako naman pwedeng may iba pang paraan para hindi ako magka record kasi hindi talaga akin yun.

Bumulong ung porter sa tabi ko. Sabi niya, "Ate, ayusin mo nalang. Pwede na yan sa 500." Sabi ko sa babae e, "Baka pwedeng tulungan mo ako." Sagot naman niya, "O sige po, iabot mo nalang sakin patago. Baka mahuli ako ng supervisor."





Dyos ko po!!! Para lang sa 500 e magkakarecord ako at baka hindi pa ako makasakay sa eroplano pabalik ng LA?!?! Sige na! ibibigay ko na!

Sa pangalawang pagkakataon e binodycheck ako at dun ko na inabot ang 500 pesos sa kanila. Pati ung porter na bumulong e binigyan ko ng 200 pesos.

Ayun, pinayagan na akong umalis! Ay nako!!! Para sa 500 pesos e maninira sila ng pangalan ng tao!!!

Isaac Caldiero wins American Ninja Warrior and the $1 Million Grand Prize

Since the American Ninja Warrior TV series began in 2009, no athlete had ever gone past the 3rd stage of the competition, but in the season seven finale, both Geoff Britten and Isaac Caldiero finished the cutthroat course.

American Ninja Warriors should have a good mixed of speed, strength, balance and agility. Most who did well on the course are free runners, parkour athletes, professional rock climbers.

For the 2015 finale, Geoff Britten completed Stage 4 first, but Isaac Caldiero was able to beat his time by a mere 3.6 seconds, winning the $1 million grand prize.




If you watched Isaac Caldiero scale Mt. Midoriyama- it was amazing, he made it look so easy flying. A well-deserved win!


Watch the video and see Isaac Caldiero bagged the grand prize as the true and sole winner of American Ninja Warrior.
