Review: InCase Canvas Maki Jacket for iPad Mini


I've always wanted to protect every equipment I've got since devices such as my iPad Mini needs tender loving care since my work requires lying it down into rough, uneven surfaces. Thankfully while shopping around JB HiFi, I stumbled upon a product from InCase that would make my iPad turn into incognito mode.
The case features a durable cotton canvas with individual ports for easy access into the iPad Mini's physical buttons as well as its charging port and speakers. 
While inside sports 'soft-felt' finish that impresses the hands while preventing your iDevice from any scratches. It is also quite secure, given that velcro flaps hold it tight and an orange elasticated strap keeps it closed when unused.
Unfortunately, only one camo texture will be available for purchase and will sit perfectly with the Philippine Navy's battle dress attire. When I got it off from the store in Melbourne, Australia. I found out that the texture is too faded to match the Army and Air Force BDA, even with any Australian Defense Force uniform.

Last Words. I just wish that there is an option for a black strap to keep things in real camo. Yet I can honestly vouch that InCase has done an incredible product that individualizes every iPad Mini out there, especially those who work in the military.

The product retails for AUD 34.99-39.99 at any JB HiFi store located in Melbourne and Sydney. Filipino buyers may opt to order one online, just click here

Front Row: Maestro Sundalo, Saturday at 9:45pm

One of GMA News TV's most awarded programs, "Front Row" will be featuring a documentary about soldier's who provides free basic education to a group of people living at far-flung areas where graduate/licensed teacher's are not normally found or would dare to tread. 

It is proud to say that a soldier does not always need guns to combat war. His tools mark the use of words, his professional knowledge and wisdom to share and change the mindset of the people on leading the right path...

Better meet and know a soldier before you judge. It is one noble profession.

So mark your Saturday, 6th of July at 9:45p.m. GMA network.

JOKE TIME: Ang colonel at ang airman

Isang araw, ng matapos mag-lipat sa kanyang bagong opisina, may isang colonel na nakaupo sa kanyang desk habang kumakatok sa pintuan ang isang airman.  

Conscious sa bago nyang posisyon, mabilis na kinuha ng colonel ang telepono malapit sa kanya. Sinabihan ang Airman na pumasok at may sinabi sa telepono.

"...Yes, General, magkikita kami mamayang hapon at makaka-asa ka na darating sa kanya ang iyong mensahe... Sa ngayon Sir, maraming salamat sa iyong magagandang salita."

Sa pakiramdam nyang naimpress ang isang airman. Tinanong niya ito, "Ano kailangan mo?"

"Nothing important Sir," sabi ng airman, "Kailangan ko lang po i-install yung telepono."

He... He... He...

Guns for Peace Program

In the hope of making peace with our lost brothers, the Armed Forces of the Philippine's Gun For Peace Program (GFPP) shall offer cash incentives to NPA members who will surrender with their firearms to the government and grab the big opportunity to start a new life away from the dangers of the armed conflict




The program is a transition mechanism and an avenue that will truly facilitate NPA rebels and other armed threat groups who wish to lay down their arms and surrender. 

Aside from the firearms remuneration package which will go as high as P200,000 for light machine guns, surrenderees can also benefit from other government programs instituted by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and scholarships to the children of the victims.

Thanks for the program, it is exciting to learn that more rebels have decided to surrender and live a normal life. It is adamant that supporting armed conflict will never be the solution to our country's problem. 

We should all look forward to working together for peace and prosperity.
