Scottish Vlogger na si Dale Philip, hindi natuwa sa na ginagawang office ng mga customer ang Starbucks sa Pilipinas

United Kingdom-based travel vlogger Dale Philip couldn’t hide his culture shock during his visit to the Philippines after he saw how Filipinos were treating coffee shops in the country.

In his vlog, he was surprised when he saw that Starbucks, one of the most popular coffee shops in the country, was full of visitors who were doing their job at the establishment.

According to him, some customers were just buying one coffee and staying there for hours because of the free wifi and electricity being offered by the establishment.

“Look at all these guys with their laptops just sitting, using it as their personal office. I would hate that,” said Philip.

“I would hate to have a business where people just come and use it as their personal office, use your WiFi and electricity, and buy like one coffee,” he added.

Dale said it he do not understand why some people prefer to work at coffee shops if they could do it in the comfort of their homes.

“Just sit in your house, just sit in your condo, just sit in your hotel room and do your work…I don’t understand this whole concept,” he stated.

As of writing Starbucks Philippines has yet to release a response to Dale’s complaint.

Show na ‘Here Lies Love’ na naging matunog noon dahil sa isyu ni Lea Salonga, magtatapos na dahil sa mababang kita

Broadway musical ‘Here Lies Love,’ which is about the life of former First Lady Imelda Marcos, was set to end on November 26 due to low ticket sales.

It can be recalled that ‘Here Lies Love’ became known in the Philippines after a fan recorded Lea Salonga, who’s one of the cast of the show while rejecting the request from her sudden visitors in her dressing room.

According to the report, the show was already losing money as they needed to shell out a production cost of $700,000 per week, while the ticket sales were only reaching $500,000 to $620,000 weekly.

“But the reality is, succeeding on Broadway means not only producing excellent work with artistic merit, it also means creating the audience for it. And how much time it takes to find and grow new audiences is out of sync with the tight timeframes for audience-building and awareness,” the producers said.

However, they were proud that they brought the first all-Filipino acting company on Broadway, which received ‘critical acclaim.’

As of writing, Lea has yet to give any statement on the end of their show.

Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador shared the footage during Janno Gibbs’ walk-out amid the interview with him.

It can be recalled that on November 10, Rendon was invited as a guest on “The Mens Room” with Stanley Chi and Janno and claimed that he was not treated well by the singer-comedian due to the criticism he threw against Michael V.

“Hindi ko nagustuhan yung ginaawang interview kagabi sa TV5 “The Mens Room” with @jannolategibbs & @stanleychi pumunta ako as a professional na tao sa show ninyo, kung namamahiya lang kayo ng guest ninyo ay tigilan ninyo nalang yan,” said Rendon.

Several days after he criticized Janno, Rendon then posted the whole footage of the incident, showing that the two were just trying to prank Stanley.

Rendon showed how Stanley tried to calm Rendon while the latter was mulling to criticize their show on social media due to the unprofessionalism of Janno.

It also revealed how Janno personally asked Rendon to prank Stanley.

“Plano ko i-good time si Stanley. Ganito ang plano, ang cue ko ay si Michael V,” Janno told Rendon.

“Hindi ba aatakihin sa puso yan si Stanley? Mukhang malabot kasi,” Rendon asked Janno.

After the prank was revealed, Janno returned to the stage to continue the interview while Rendon explained that he was already a changed man.

Cristy’s co-hosts, Rommel Chika and Wendell Alvarez, couldn’t stop asking if Manny was still selling some of his properties since he spent a lot of money last presidential election.

“Palagay mo anong dahilan ba’t nagbebenta ng properties sina Jinkee at Pacman?” Cristy asked.

“E, kasi ‘di ba noon pa maraming nagsasabi sa kaniya na ‘Pacman, ‘wag kang tumakbo sa panguluhan kasi mauubos ang pera mo doon’,” Wendell responded.

It can be recalled that Chavit Singson urged Manny to reconsider his decision to run for the presidential election as he would spend a tremendous amount of money even without any assurance of winning.

“Hindi ko po talaga napigilan na maiyak noong mga panahon na iyon kasi alam ko talaga, napatunayan ko sa sarili ko, na siya na talaga,” he added.

According to him, Bianca really showed interest in his religion by not missing any sessions.

“Inaral po niya ‘yon, everyday nagpupunta po siya…sa amin po kasi may 25 sessions, may eight months pa na pagsubok na hindi ka pwedeng maka-miss kahit isang pagsamba. At tinapos po niya lahat ‘yon nang hindi ko siya pinipilit,” he said.
