And the time has come! Thank you guys for the 11 flipp entries to our Flippish contest “What’s Your Flippest Flippish Video?” The comments were read and judged by 3 individuals. It was not really about the video choice but the reason behind why they loved it. So after getting the Top 3 votes from each judge, we got TWO (2) winners!

2nd Prize (P500 worth of cellphone load):

Rommel of Inghinyero.com! He voted for “Campaign Ad” from the show Test Tube. He said:

Direk Campaign Ad is currently my favorite.

Its kinda timely. The spoofs of TV commercials and their dialogues are very much parallel to the typical TV ads. You can clearly see how politicians crumble and whore themselves to seem decent and clean in the viewer public’s eyes.

Elections for 2010 is coming. I hope that FLippish would do more vids that cater these topic.

Here’s the video:

AND THE WINNER IS (P2000 YSA Skin Care Gift Certificate and P1000 cellphone load) …

Nino AKA LILWIZ! He voted for “Koryans in Da Pilipins”. He said:

Flippish. . .The name speaks for itself that this new and 1st ever online tv show is now setting a new trend to everyone. The use of this Web 2.0 technology that showcase Filipino stuffs is very catchy, and the videos featured here are original. . .

For my favorite VIDEO, I have to give props to ” KORYANS IN THE PILIPINS ”
This video is very interesting, people would watch it because a lot of us is curious na ” bakit nga ba madaming KOREANO dito?? ” . It is true that the Philippines nowadays are resided by some Koreans. One of the reasons ??? They go here for english education.Some go here just for a long vacation too or some stay here as immigrants. I was surprised when I watch the show that SANDARA is also the reason why there here. Hmmmm, maybe they are inspired or something.:)hehehe. Owww well, I think that we should always welcome the Koreans when we see them walking around in our territory. Let us show them the greatest trait that we have( BEING HOSPITABLE ):) and I know that having them as our friend will also help them improve their ENGLISH skills.My Korean ex improves a lot. . .They are also hospitable believe me. . .I actually have Korean friends from my old school and i hang out with them a lot of times. I agree about their traits that was shown in the video. . .

OH BY THE WAY, nice Korean look KRING!! hehehe :p

And here it is:

Just a few weeks ago, a funny TV commercial of a local DSL company surprised the nation. While other brands bombard us with young women in bikinis in their ads, this one dared to be different. And it’s very witty too! Ladies and gentlemen, Video Chops presents internet’s newest sensation, Lola Techie!

Lola Techie is the grandmother of JR, who I assume is a teenager who’s been neglecting her lola for quite awhile now. Lola Techie uses her DSL connection to get her grandson’s attention – reprimanding him for ignoring her online. Their first video viral is about lola’s super poke and Youtube skills which was a super overnight hit.  Once it hit Youtube last week, the video spread all over the net like wildfire.

Now, a new viral video is up! And we discover that Lola Techie also has a Twitter account!

Great TV ads come and go. But the marketing team of Bayan DSL took this brilliant concept to the next level. Now, Lola Techie is ACTIVE all over the net with constant updates on her Youtube, Facebook, Multiply, Twitter and Plurk account. “Ghost blogger” or not, Lola Techie‘s daily shout-outs certainly put smiles on faces of her followers.

After the second viral went online, I’m excited what Lola Techie might be doing next! But I’m sure JR’s not as enthusiastic about it as I am.

Pop Icon and Legend Michael Jackson died today at a young age of 50. VideoChops.com gives homage and tribute to music’s King of Pop. This is one of the world’s most popular and amazing video virals in the internet. Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Philippines‘ THRILLER.

I’ve had news about this from the show producer, Japs but I still waited for something to come up online before announcing it. And it’s confirmed. Qtube of QTV Channel 11 will be having their Best of Season 1 episode tonight! Here’s their tweet:

Missed out on past episodes? Tonight, we’re bringing back all your favorites in the best of Qtube’s season one! Catch it 10:15 PM tonight.

And great to know that two segments of the show will be about video blogging – featuring yours truly, CokskiBlue and one of Flippish.com‘s hit virals, Workout with Roldan! So tune it, 10:15 tonight guys!

Wanna Change? Wala Nang Change... a play on these phrases produced a character so unique and magnificently-written. Ladies and gentlemen, do I still need to introduce Juana Change?

The first week her first video entitled “Cha-Cha” came out, it generated an impressive 3, 000 views. She was literally an overnight sensation. But Juana is no one-hit wonder. Her impact still engulfs the Youtubesphere as her videos get more controversial and relevant to today’s political issues.

Juana Change, Mae Paner

Kudos to talented actress Mae Paner, who I’ve spotted quite a number of times in great theater productions. I read she has been in PETA (Philippine Education Theater Association) since 1983. Not only that – she already has several successful TV ads and films under her belt. There’s no other person who could encapsulate the color, variety and range of Juana Change’s character which Mae Paner tried and has wonderfully portrayed.

So who really is Juana Change? For those who are new to her work, here’s a good summary of who the character is (from JuanaChange.org):

“Juana Change” is a character who represents the everyday Filipino. She is the street sweeper, the jeepney driver, the government employee, or the overseas Filipino among others. She can also be a congresswoman, a faith healer or a general. She is our mirror. The Convergence Team, a group of creative artists, advocates, activists and communicators developed Juana Change and filmed short “virals” of vignettes that depict what we have become as Filipinos.

In the first week alone of the release of the first viral, more than 3,000 hits were logged on You Tube. To date, there are almost 40,000 hits on the most popular of the series. Immediate interest from major networks, other creative artists, advertising firms and reform groups brought Juana Change to prominence in a very short time. Interviews and features in television and radio both local and international continue to bridge the internet campaign with the broader multimedia audience. More important are the reactions, comments and feedback from Filipinos here and abroad on how they could relate with the character and how they could help work for change. This connection with and call to Filipinos will continue to be the focus of the group as it evolves Juana Change and its broader multi-media campaign.
