I've been tasked to do a booklet to be presented to Malacañang a week ago for the National Innovation Summit and was proud that President Gloria Arroyo held my work in front of the press. Though I'm not a big fan of her, it just felt like a sort of achievement that a president holds my work.Kudos! Hahaha.

Here is the actual artwork...

Hmmm...I think the color is too biased in blue. Oh well...

On my recent blog regarding the recall of mattel products in the market, Nokia too began to recall dangerous cellphone batteries (BL-5C series) for some of their models. One of the stories is about a housewife charging her new expensive cellphone when it suddenly exploded. Quickly she took pictures and documented what happened then sent it to Nokia.
Overcharging of battery is not new in regards to Nokia products as we laymen know. It may also be a cause of short circuit for some phones and which may not work. Thus when you overcharge a Nokia cellphone and got it damaged along the process, sure as hell your friendly neighborhood store won't replace the product (this is in regards to the Philippines). My hunch is that, Nokia knew it all along but didn't mind it until a case might be filed to them. Swell! Their sales could surely feed a starving third world and they can't even perform their obligations for their consumers' safety. C'mon guys admit it.
Noooookia!
