Wonder how much money GMA’s leaving on the table by not partnering with YouTube or collecting royalties via video ID. Just hope they don’t get stupid and copyright-troll like ABS-CBN.

If anyone from GMA’s reading this, YouTube is owned by Google. Go ask Google Philippines Country Consultant Aileen Apolo for more info on how you can profit from all this.

Gloria on Glorietta: Business as Usual

Saying it was “business as usual,” President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo went shopping and had a cup of coffee at the Glorietta mall in the Makati financial district on Tuesday, four days after an explosion there left 11 people killed and close to 100 others wounded.

The President smiled and waved at shoppers, and posed for photographs at the second floor veranda of Glorietta 2, overlooking the mall atrium.

Gloria has been consistently callous about the Glorietta bombing; her latest display is true to form. I guess mayhem is business as usual to this woman.
