Hi guys, it’s my birthday in 4 days, so I decided to break my “hiatus curse” and actually blog here on Video Chops!

I’ve been missing A LOT lately and one of them is spotting the latest online video contests in the Philippines. So let me kick it off with the I LOVE MAKATI video contest – all Makati-lovers are encouraged to join.

Wanna know how? Here are the mechanics:

1. Contest is open to everyone, 18 years and old above.
2. The video should be no less than 30 seconds that captures why one loves Makati. It can highlight living, doing busines, and tourism aspects of the city.
3. Mandatory components:
   - the I Love Makati watermark (to be posted here shortly) to appear at the lower right hand side of the video.
   - a video or image snippet of Jupiter Suites anywhere in the 30 second video.
   - at the end of the video, state that:
