In May 3, 2015, the people of Bantayan Island was given the chance to watch Manny Pacquiao fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. via live Pay-per-View setup for free at three strategic area in Bantayan Island Cebu towns of Bantayan, Madridejos and Sta. Fe courtesy of Pru Life UK. Simultaneously, Pru Life UK brought similar activity in communities in Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Batangas, Quezon, Albay, Aklan and Northern Samar.

"Seeing the Cebuanos in Bantayan Island get back on their feet has been a truly a remarkable experience for our staff and volunteers. Helping them rebuild their homes is just the first step. We hope that watching this fight live gives them the opportunity to set aside their daily struggles as they join in this national celebration,” said Antonio Manuel de Rosas, President and CEO of Pru Life UK.

It was a rare opportunity for some of the people in Bantayan Island to watch the fight of their champion and hero live via pay-per-view especially those who are still recovering from the devastation of typhoon Yolanda. Majority from nearby islets don't even have electricity and lack of decent dwelling after being destroyed by the catastrophe. But as seen in their expressions of cheers and screams, these people went tirelessly rises from being struck with the support of united charities around the world and Pru Life UK Foundation that are willing to help and cherish these once victims of unfavorable circumstances.



Adopting this popular quote from Morgan W. says "You learn more from losing than winning, you learn how to keep going." Cebuanos in Bantayan Island learned the hard way but it was definitely worth the fight as what their champion Manny Pacquiao did in his boxing career and reached the status now as one of the greatest boxers. I am thankful for the opportunity that Pru Life UK has shared to the people of Bantayan, to partake one of the greatest lesson of life through our nation's hero's fight of the century, - Resiliency.

Mrs. Emma Helbuena and cousin Marilou Helbuena living at Hilantagaan islet, both woke up early Sunday of May 3 to attend early church mass to offer prayer for Manny Pacquiao before riding a motor banca that will bring them to Bantayan Island so they could watch Manny Pacquiao fight live via big screen for the first time. When I approached them after the winner has been announced, they try to hide their emotions but I can see it from their teary eyes that they didn't expect that the result is laid that way and for them, there no other champions than their idol, it's the the people's champ Manny Pacquiao.



From the people of Bantayan and nearby islets of Hilantagaan they went to theirs homes bearing another bunch of Hope and inspiration that every fall down has a sweet victory devised for them.

#ForEveryPinoyFighter at Cebu Events Blog

Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc. recently visited Cebu for another edition of the Yamaha Tricity Grand Test ride with exclusive presence of Mr. Gerald Anderson who also ride the Yamaha Tricity around the custom built track that showcases the full ability and features of the Yamaha Tricity at Sm City Cebu North Parking. The Yamaha-Exclusive Leaning Multi-Wheel system allows two front wheels to adjust independently to different road conditions. Enthusiasts, club members, and the general public who joined the test ride undergo detailed briefing of the course and an evaluation of their riding skills under strict supervision by Yamaha certified instructors. Mall goers inside SM City Cebu also learned about LMW and Tricity through Yamaha Rev stations setup indoor.


Yamaha’s own design philosophy “Refined Dynamism” gives birth to the concept of being “Smart for All”. The feature point of this New Commuter Vehicle is the LMW mechanism or Leaning Multi Wheel, a mechanism that allows two front wheels to deal with changes in different road surfaces while keeping both tires in contact with the road as it leans.



The Yamaha LMW mechanism is born because of the harmonious integration of 2 key systems.

1. A parallelogram Link system that allows the parallel leaning of two front wheels and separate functioning of independent suspensions.
2. A Cantilevered Telescopic Suspension for the two front wheels with unique machine dimensions and geometry.

The Tricity has a Unified Breaking System (UBS) that the force is administered to the front two discs and single rear disc when the rear brake lever is applied. The Yamaha Tricity has a displacement of 125 cc and is available in all 3s shops nationwide with the suggested retail price of PHP 146,000 and comes in matte red or white color.

@GeraldAnderson test driving Yamaha's #Leaning #MultiWheel #LMW system at #Yamaha #Tricity Grand #Testride at #SMCebu North Parking area. Testride available until 8 pm today.
