Krispy Kreme Opens in Cebu Oct-22; 1st Customer Free 1-Yr Supply of Doughnuts!

Krispy Kreme opens in Cebu on Oct-22 in Ayala Center Cebu and in Asiatown IT Park. People are so excited and even more so now that there's a contest going for the 1st customer getting 1-year supply of FREE doughnuts! That is just amazing!

Krispy Kreme is entering Cebu with a bang, just as any new brand should. Apparently the first 100 customers will also get other prizes.

We have a bet going that Krispy Kreme will last longer than Gonut Donuts (which didn't last long by the way). I think they have a pretty good chance

The Philippines' Own SuperMan - Goes Through Extensive Surgery To Look Like Man Of Steel

Should we call this the ultimate cosplay? Herbert Chavez, 35-year-old Filipino designer has decided he literally wanted to grow up and be superman.

He went to the extent of extensive cosmetic surgery just to look like Superman. With so many procedures, check out the before and after pictures. Everything from his nose, lips, cheeks, chin and even skin whitening (Hello, Michael Jackson?)

Once a typical-looking Filipino, Chavez now has the firm-jawed face of Clark Kent.

A curl of black hair falls on his forehead, and he occasionally sports the thick, black glasses of his idol's nerdier incarnation, mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent.

He is planning an operation that will give him a more muscular abdomen and is looking at specialised surgery in Japan that will insert metal in his legs to make him taller.

This is next-level idolizing. We can call him our very own local celebrity, our own Superman

What Really Happened In SM Pampanga Shooting Incident + Updates

Remember the shooting incident just a few weeks ago in SM Pampanga? It was all over the news, right at the heels of another shooting incident in another SM shopping mall where again there were rumors of infidelity and love triangle motivations.

Two minors named Jake Perez and Jonathan Salvador died just last Sept-22. The 13-year-old boy first shot his alleged lover, a 16-year-old boy, in the head. The boy, who used a caliber .22 pistol, then shot himself in the head. The victims were first rushed to the Jose B. Lingad Hospital. The younger boy was transferred to San Fernandino Hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU), while the other was sent to V.L. Makabali Hospital for a CT scan, and was brought back to Jose B. Lingad Hospital.




This video leaked a few days ago, showing that one of the boys was in fact alive when the police alive - note the movement of his leg. The police was intensely criticized for appearing nonchalant the whole time in this video. Although apparently the police were the ones who took the boys to the hospital. Even if both boys were not able to live through the incident.

ABS-CBN recently reported that the Pampanga Philippine National Police (PNP) already considers the SM shooting incident involving two minors a closed case despite possibilities raised by one of the victims' family.

The family claimed that a third party may be involved in the killing, as gleaned from an amateur video of the incident that made the rounds in the Internet last week. Pampanga PNP spokesperson Superintendent Jhoanna Rosales told ANC that all evidence gathered by police pointed to the 13-year-old victim as the one who shot his friend and ultimately, himself.
