Yesterday was the last day of the Dinagyang festival and also the day when ‘tribes’ perform in the Dinagyang street competition. Aple and I decided to go and just walk around. we didn’t get to see the performances since the stages were packed with so many people.

Anyways, we just took a clip of a tribe marching through the street. The tribe we caught just happened to be Tribu Silak of Molo City High. They used to be called Tribu Lunok when i was in high school. And they were probably the main rival of Tribu Bola-Bola of Iloilo National High School which was the tribe of the school i attended.

Paypal now allows withdrawal to Philippine banks

Posted on the January 28th, 2008 under quickies,the web by rayland

PinoyMoneyTalk has given word that PayPal started allowing users in the Philippines to withdraw funds to local bank accounts. To do this, you first have to attach a bank account to your PayPal account. You also need the bank code in order to successfully attach your bank account. PinoyMoneyTalk currently has a partial list here. Good thing the bank code for BPI is there.. i might go ahead and try this.. this would actually be better than using eon to withdraw the funds since there is no charge for transactions which exceed 7000 pesos.
