Kipling, the Belgian bag brand, and World Vision have launched “A Brighter Christmas for A Brighter Tomorrow,” a program to raise funds for the education of children under the care of the advocacy group.

For every bag or piece of luggage purchased at Kipling stores in the Philippines from December 1 to 31, 2012, Kipling will donate Php500 to World Vision. (Up to 22 percent of the cost of the item, which is pretty generous.)

The Boysen KNOxOUT Project: EDSA campaign has won the 2012 TBWA Disruption Award Grand Prix.


The urban renewal initiative was undertaken to lessen air pollution on the highway using large-scale artworks created with air-cleaning paint.

The Boysen KNOxOUT campaign beat 80 submissions from all over the world for the top prize. Congratulations to Jackie Ongking and the entire Project: EDSA team for bringing a great idea to life.

On Friday, July 20, 2012, reporters, writers, and editors of InterAksyon.com will be working out of the lobby of the Palma Hall of the University of the Philippines.

Students, teachers, and members of the UP community are invited to participate in the event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 20.

Apart from interacting with the editorial team of InterAksyon, people dropping in may enjoy free downloads and installation of the InterAksyon app for iOS and Android devices. Free coffee, snacks, and wifi care of Smart Communications will also be on tap.

From 2 to 3 p.m., InterAksyon columnist Jessica Zafra will be on site to sign copies of her books. Depending on atmospheric conditions (She does not like high humidity) and the quality of the available caffeine she may make people cry (This happens often enough so people are disappointed when it doesn’t) so bring tissues.

Teddy Boy Locsin will be present to meet readers, mock them, sign autographs, insult their vocabularies, and pose for pictures with them for their twitter and facebook accounts.
