The End Of The Century
The Ramones heavily influenced us during our development stages. And especially in High School. The Ramones were strong willed , and vision driven, even if they didn't have a template for doing what they wanted to do; they just did and learned everything as they went along. And there's nothing more Punk Rock than just going for it.
Johnny Ramone never smiled. Joey Ramone was a freak and a weirdo. Tommy Ramone was the proffesional. Dee Dee Ramone was the junkie. And the other ones were Drunks and the other Other one wasn't a real Ramone. The Ramones were kind of like your family.
And at the same time, they're just like your friends.
This is part 1 of their 2003 Documentary called End Of The Century.

Why The Filipinos Are Still Poor
Here's an interesting new look at why the Filipinos are still Poor.
We do not support all the opinions in this video, but they sure do have some points.
And also, maybe if we express the country's problems in a more creative light, we can find more creative and colorful solutions as well for them.
Fillmore Slim ; The Game ,
Fillmore Slim was the first real West Coast Pimp. He started out as a blues singer and somehow found himself in the game.... OG of the game and now pursuing his Music Career again, he talks about the ups and downs of the game. A lot to learn from him.

From Jet Li's Once Upon A Time movies to Bruce Lee's blockbusters to Jackie Chan's diversified movie selections.

WHOOP x FRESH MANILA
Long time peer and ally , Whoop has been part of PSP since the days when street art in the Philippines was but a mere fetus feeding itself to form a living , breathing , organic sub - culture.
The first time i got to paint with Whoopie was in - front of Fresh Manila store , back then it was in Tomas Morato. Back then, his works already had a surreal candy style using colors and characters to his own aethetic. But back then, he wasn't as polished as he is known for today.
I've been blessed to watch the evolution of a lot of the cats here in the Philippines and Whoop had always been an inspiration and exciting to see n his element (or in his own world).
Finally, he is blessed by Fresh Manila to release his first toy release, and also... A solo Exhibit.
