Philippines Breaks Guinness World Record of Largest Serving of Lechon

It was a hot and humid day but we were still happy during the event for Calata Corporation. For those who don't know, they're one of the largest agricultural conglomerates in the country. They are the corporation behind the distribution of brands like Bayer, Syngenta, Bmeg, Jardine, Monsanto, Dupont, Sinochem, Leads Agri, Planters Products, Swire, Yara. They are also behind agricultural chemical corporations such as AGRI Crop Protection, Heisenberg veterinary medicines, Thomson and Hine and Ivansmith agrochemicals.They also own Golden Bean Feeds which supply most of their products in AGRI stores nationwide. They're celebrating their 16th Anniversary and what better way to do it but by preparing a huge feast of roast pork commonly known as Lechon in this country. The premise is to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Serving of Roast Pork set by Mexico a couple of years back. By the way, they supply huge corporations like Puregold, Lydia's Lechon, and others with produce, technology, distribution so you can just imagine how big they are in the industry. Instead of having just their company's posh party, they wanted to share it with the community. with those who couldn't really afford the well loved Filipino dish usually served in huge parties. Everything goes!

Here's what happened during the Guinness World Record Attempt


Calata Corporation World's Biggest Serving of... by kumagcow

That's not all. Calata Corporation is partnering with other NGO's, Foundations to give scholarship grants to deserving students. They're eventually planning to also do this specifically for agricultural courses so they could further improve the lives of Filipinos in the agricultural sector. Their dream is to make agriculture cool and dubbed it AgriCOOLture. Since they're already making waves and earning a ton in this industry, they hope to inspire more people to work and change the manner they perceive the business because true enough, they're showing that there is money and opportunity in agriculture. Our aging farmers won't be there forever and there should be another generation of people who would want to spend their life working, tilling the fields with the help of new technology, advanced ways so this agricultural country would eventually NOT import goods anymore and just locally produce everything here.

Previous record set was about 3,015 Kgs, we however set 4,046 Kgs. An honor for the Philippines and Calata Corporation. Congratulations to Calata Corporation on your 16th year!

COLDPLAY Live 2012! - Available Now on CD+DVD!

Stadiums filled with people, albums selling like hotcakes, men oozing sexiness just like me. Nostalgia, that's one word to describe it but I almost cried seeing this. I was invited with a few people to a private viewing of COLDPLAY's concert DVD. It's slated to be released this Friday, that's November 30, 2012. Roughly around 100 minutes++ of unadulterated, pure music, lights and exhilarating concert experience made special because the band members had a say on it. They designed the whole thing with the people in mind so in turn they become a part of it. How?! Well let's just say that's exactly one of the things you should watch for when you purchase this after Friday. There are also several countries where they performed in but most of it is shot in Paris where you'll see a humongous stadium all filled with fans screaming their lungs out just for COLDPLAY.

This one isn't actually for local release. This is the international version. Those scribbles actually was seen also in the concert stage. I won't tell you how, you must get it first before it makes sense hehe.

All their best hits plus new ones are included in this DVD release. Mylo Xyloto (which is consequently also the fifth studio album by this British alternative rock band), Hurts Like Heaven, In My Place, Major Minus, Yellow, Violet Hall, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, Princess of China, Up In Flames, Viva La Vida, my personal favorite Charlie Brown, Paradise, Us Against The World, Clocks, Fix You and Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall.Oh and before I forget, Mylo Xyloto charted at number one in 34 countries on its first week so just imagine how much airplay their song gets in one day! The first week alone walloped 208,000 units of this!

Coldplay Live 2012 is their first concert film/live album. They're around the world touring and showing this concert to almost 3 Million people across countries.Chris Martin has never been so proud of this because the Mylo Xyloto tour made them realize that its the most fun they've ever had in a long time. From laser lights, to pyrotechnics and wristbands, it has been an honor for them to have had the chance to have their throng of fans perform with them in the concert. We were at awe at what we saw in Paris so don't even think about not watching it!

Go grab your copies on Friday! It will be available in Coldplay Live 2012 CD+DVD (Philippine Version) for only 485 Philippine Pesos and Coldplay Live 2012 CD+DVD (Imported Limited Edition) with free Mylo Xyloto baller for 1,500 Philippine Pesos.Thanks to the people from Astroplus/Astrovision, Odyssey Music and Video, and Polyeast Records. You guys rock! =)
