Armed with unmatched energy and magnetic charisma, the crew members captured the heart of Americans in ABDC back in 2009. Now, it’s time for Filipinos to witness their awesome moves and grooves at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World Manila on December 3; at the Eastwood Mall Open Park on December 4; and at the Venice Piazza at McKinley Hill on December 5.

The concert will be a homecoming of sort for the group, having Filipino members. They are: Aris Paracuelles, Daniel Ryan “Ryanimay” Conferido, Dominic “D-Trix” Sandoval, and Brian Hirano.

Quest Crew is a family of close friends with a common love for dance and the arts. Accomplished dancers, each with their own specialty and style, they bring to the stage a great mix of humor, musicality, high-flying and eye-popping tricks, innovative choreography, and personality that consistently brings audiences to their feet. The group gained international popularity after winning the dance contest and has landed them in different dance concerts and appearances in Europe, Australia, and Asia.

Joining the international dance group in the concert series are Young JV, 23rd Awit Awards Best New Performer of the Year; Amber Davis, Urban Music Awards Best Female RnB artist; and Philippine All Stars, 2006 and 2008 winners of World Hip Hop Dance Championships.

So if you love to dance, be sure to catch Quest Crew as they perform in Manila for the first time. VIP seats will be given to special ticket patrons but general admission is free!

This concert was made possible through the help of McDonald’s, Pik-nik, The Bar, and Carlo Rossi; and media partners Channel V, the official Music Channel, Star World, Fox TV, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Businessworld, Herword.com Magic 89.9, 99.5 RT, Spot.ph, and Pep.ph. For more details, you can www.eastwoodcity.com or call 0917-838-0111.

If you failed to catch their performances or want to refresh your memories of their great locking styles, here's a video of them as posted in Youtube by imthefreakinbest.


I really do hope I can catch them live and attend their press conference. I'll share you if I will be able to join them.

In line with the vision of my blog to help uplift the spirit/hope of the Filipino nation, I hope we can express our support to our fellow countrymen competing right now in Vietnam. It will just take you less than a minute of your time to further make our Ms. Philippines (Kris Psyche Resus) to win the Ms. Photogenic and hopefully the Ms. Earth 2010 crown amidst having it in another country this year. I hope she will have the support just like how we did it for Efren Penaflorida and Venus Raj. Here's how you can help her:


It is just a simple process and I hope we can show our support for Psyche. You might know me to be not a fan of online voting but I'm taking it aside for now to support not only our countrymen but a good person as well. I have been able to interact with Psyche just last May for Nestea Hot Camp and she is very nice person whenever I saw here every week during the camp (During that time even she still not a contestant for Ms. Earth-Philippines). I really do hope she win! Let's vote and watch her bring home the crown!

I don't normally want to post negative write-up on my blog but I have been receiving some comments from my readers about the incident that happened last Saturday regarding the 50% and 60% sale of 2 mobile companies (LG and Nokia). As a blogger, I don't just post sale announcement and as much as possible try my best to go to these sale events that I post. I do that because I believe I also have the responsibility to my readers to tell them whether the sale is really a great deal or not. I did not line up during the event but a relative of mine got interested to purchase one after reading my post. 


My cousin was there when the mall just opened and he told me that it was really unorganized. People run to the 4th floor of the mall expecting they will be the first people in the line but to their surprise there are around 20-40 people who are already there lined up. How can people suddenly be there when the mall just opened? Not unless they locked themselves up the previous night or better yet they were employees of an establishment of the mall and used their employee IDs to get inside even before regular customers can. I was informed by my cousin that these people who are there in line were really employees of some establishment. The frustration doesn't end there as the line of customers have not been organized well by the people who should be responsible. When we arrived at the mall to check my cousin, we found him at a lump of people in front of Samsung store without a clear line. People also began to swarm around the LG store thus really creating a great mess. I was informed that in only a few minutes after opening, the queue of customers end up until the ground floor already. 


I don't think Nokia and most especially LG can blame the customers being angry after they announced that they are ending the sale already. To be fair with Nokia, I think they are more organized as compared to LG during that day (at least in SM Megamall) but also heard some problems at the start of their sale. In LG Sale, people are already screaming to boycott LG and screaming BOO at the announcer because of the whole fiasco.  I believe if it was just organized and expectations were set at the start, then the whole thing will not end up that way. If these companies just want to sensationalize this sale, I hope this is not at the mercy of these people where some even came from the provinces just to support their sale event.  


Here are some of my constructive criticisms that hopefully can be heard and will be implemented in the future by other mobile networks or any other companies planning to set-up such massive sale event:

  • Organize the event well - I heard the security are not that well informed about the event and I haven't seen much manpower from the companies to help organize the people. Don't tell us that you don't expect a lot of people to come because as the organizer of such event, you should always prepare for the worst thing possible.
  • Provide numbers/stubs - I think all the confusion on lines and other items could be prevented if a priority number was given to the customers on queue. If LG knew that they only have 30 units to sell, then they could just release 30 numbers to the first 30 VALID customers and tell the other people that all units are taken. In that case, people will not line up anymore and wait for hours waiting for nothing. If this strategy was just implemented, the usual "singitan" could have prevented.
  • Be fair to all customers - I think LG/Nokia should never allowed those employees of the mall who were inside the establishment to purchase the devices on sale. It is very unfair for those customers who lined up at the heat of the sun outside of the mall just to wait for the opening. I actually think it could have been better if the sale event was held not in a mall where such unfair acts can be done. If it is only the venue possible, then I think it could have been better if both companies just designated a specific entrance on the mall where they can line up while waiting for the opening of the store. Companies can then hand-out numbers right from there. In this case, people will not have to run for their life going to the store.
  • Security enforcement - I saw security personnel started to be around the perimeter when the people started shouting already. I'm not sure who's fault is in here but I would expect that these companies should have called them early on so the lines were organized and angry customers can be calmed down.
A lot of people are frustrated about the entire fiasco of the sale. I am also disappointed on how things were done. I don't think these people deserve such treatment and should not be abused for the sake of making the event "success". The success of a sale event is not judged by the number of people who came but I believe it should be on the number of "HAPPY" and "SATISFIED" customers after buying a great deal from an event. In that case, I believe the sale event last Saturday is a failure. Good thing violence did not occur or else things could have been worse. I hope everyone should take this as a lesson.
