This movie is trully remarkable and extra ordinary one. I could compare this to 90’s movie “The Awakening” starring Robbin Williams and De Niro. More than the active and entertainment value, this movie is a reminder that business and innovation exist not just for profit and power, but it has its duty to humanity and the less fortunate.
I applaude Mr. Harrison Ford as the Executive Producer. Such kind of film may not be as money making as to his other blockbuster films (Starwars, Indiana Jones, The Patriot Games, The Fugitive, etc.) . But film as this will make investors and visionaries to think again of their duty to society and the world, above selfish ambision and profiteering. Beyond entertainment value, this film exhale hope and conscience to viewing public.
As to world class furniture design, a Filipino is making waves all over the world these days. As the world is turning to organic, so as to this young man’s works of art. His works are a masterpiece. Let me relay them to you through photos. Picture paints a thousand words and it can be seen in the works of …
I am pleased and proud to feature some of his classic design collection:
Above framed photos are only some of his chair collections. More will be featured in the coming days (e.g. dining, sleeping, storage, compliments, etc.).
Photos are mostly excerpt from his site and google images. More to follow soon!
Let God be glorified through his works and life testimony!
The man behind.
Kenneth Cobonpue is a Filipino national, a native of Cebu, Philippines.
He got his degree in Industrial Design at Pratt Institute, New York.
Apprenticed for a leather and wood workshop near Florence, Italy, while completing his studies.
Got his Furniture Marketing and Production exposure at Export Akademie Baden-Württemberg in Reutlingen, Germany (under a private and state scholarship program). Subsequently worked in Bielefeld and Munich.
Return to Cebu on 1996 to manage his mother’s furniture business (founded 1972). His mother Betty Cobonpue is a designer known for creating new techniques in using rattan. Later he slowly adopt his own style and can be seen from his collections.
Kenneth is more than his family’s pride. To Pinoy Espesyal, this man is trully special as he is a national treasure. Although his works is already known to the architecture and Interior design community, who would have thought that Kenneth’s artistry and global standard are featured and taught at Bread of Life Christian Ministry … having a place in its program for love for nation called the ”Brown Raise.” This man uplift in his own way the image of Phippines in the global village.
Kenneth’s works are widely published in many nations around the globe (Newsletter, Magazines, Books, Hybrid Living).
As of Sunday, March 14, 2010, 6.6. Strong Earthquake shaken Northern Japan.So far, no major damage or casualties were reported.
As per report, buildings were shaken and was felt as far as Tokyo, 240 mile away. The epicentre was about 40 km (25 miles) beneath the ocean off Honshu, Japan’s main island. It happened at 5:08 p.m. (0808 GMT).
There were no Tsunami alerts.
In spite of the strong quake, Japan’s major firms in the area has assured their citizenry of normal operations. Nonetheless, Expressway were closed for checking.
FYI. Japan is known as one of the world’s most earthquake-prone countries in the world.
He is the toast in the boxing world. Manny is his nickname. His real name is Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao. Also called as the “Pacman.” Manny Pacquiao was born on December 17, 1978 at Kibawe, Bukidnon, Mindanao and currently resides in his home town General Santos City, South Cotabato, Philippines. He is married to Jinkee Pacquiao and they have four children.
No other boxer in history whom have won seven world titles in seven different weight divisions.
In addition, he is the former Ring Magazine featherweight and super featherweight champion. He is now the, Ring Magazine light welterweight champion, and is rated by Ring Magazine as the number 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
Who would have thought that this young man from a very poor broken family from General Santos Philippines would even conquer the lineal championship in four different weight classes. Hew started with only 106 pounds (light flyweight) when he was only 16. His potentials were first noticed through a boxing show titled, “Blow by Blow” where he fought at small boxing venues. His professional debut was a four round bout against Edmund “Enting” Ignacio, on January 22, 1995, which Pacquiao won via decision, becoming an instant star of the program. Manny’s boxing career made a drastic turn around after the death of his close friend Mark Penaflorida in 1994. He was the one who encourage the young Pacquiao to pursue a professional boxing career.
Manny Pacquiao is no ordinary boxer. He wins fight not just for the title but also to inspire his nation the Philippines. Beyond his boxing career achievement is his contribution to Philippine sport, politics, showbiz, donations to the less fortunate, peace advocates, advertising and endoresement, etc.
Pacquiao’s big break came on when unexpectedly, he was asked as a late replacement on two weeks’ notice against former IBF World super bantamweight champion Lehlohonolo Ledwaba at MGM Grand Las Vegas, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He won! He became the new IBF World super bantamweight champion (his second major boxing world title). Pacquiao went on. Credited to his improvement is his expert low profile trainor Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym.

Other recognition and achievement:
Manny Pacquiao at the cover of TIME Asia Magazine. He was also included by Time Magazine as one of the world’s most influential people for the year 2009, for his exploits in boxing and his influence among the Filipino people. Pacquiao was also included by Forbes Magazine in its annual Celebrity 100 ist for the year 2009, joining Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie and fellow athletes Tiger Woods and Bryant. Forbes also listed Pacquiao as the world’s sixth highest-paid athlete, with a total of $40 million from the second half of 2008 to the first half of 2009. The athletes who ranked ahead of Pacquiao were Woods at number 1 spot ($110 million); Bryant, basketball legend Michael Jordan, and Formula One star Kimi Räikkönen sharing the number 2 rank ($45 million each); and football superstar David Beckham at number 5 ($42 million). Pacquiao had also won the 2009 ESPY Awards for the Best Fighter category, beating fellow boxer Shane Mosley and Brazilian mixed martial arts fighter Lyoto Machida.
He appeared in TV shows (Philippines). First he signed with ABS CBN, then later transferred to GMA 7 (not to mention his numerous guestings, interviews and other participation in both local and international shows TV shows).
There were so many to mention (e.g. opening ceremony for sports and various events, commercials, etc.)Many is a superstar to many and he deserve the admiration for all the glory he shared with the Filipino people. Nonetheless, with all the glitz, boxing belt and glamour… at the end of the day, Manny Pacquiao “the Pacman” is a Filipino that will be remembered from generation to generation because his victory is a victory of his nation the Philippines. To us, he is the same ordiry person who made his dream into reality through hardwork and love for his country. His achievement inspires not just the boxing fans but his whole country and the world. Would you believe that whenever Manny Pacquiao has a boxing match, time stops in the Philippines. Even war with the rebels and terorists stops (no crimes as well on every streets and municipalities). To God be the Glory!!!

To know more of the Holy Week on a more graphic way, please do watch the film, “The Passion of Christ” as directed by Mel Gibson.
Please do not think that Holy Week is a time for penitense or inflicting of pain in to your self in remembering Christ suffering. Biblically, God only desire that you accept His Son Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and repent on your sin through faith and prayer. Good works and being religious won’t save you as all man have sinned and fallshort in the eyes of God. Jesus already paid our sins in the first holy week. We just have to accept him, that’s all.
Above image is excerpt from Google images. As it seems to say, better to be of value and support the less fortunate and the children than be a hipocritical religious. Jesus already suffered, died and resurrected. It is enough. No need to repeat them.
As per gathered report, Prudential UK is about to enter into a deal to buy AIG Asia for $25.5 Billion in cash and $10.5 Billion in new shares and other securities.
The world awaits of futher development as it will lead life insurer in South East Asia and in China and India when it combine.
