Let's Do The News! (February 15, 2014)

Things we learned today...

- Earlier, the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) began a charity walk for the benefit of Superstorm Yolanda victims. Although more of a charity walk, this WORLDWIDE WALK is gunning for the Guinness World Record for LARGEST CHARITY WALK (single venue) and LARGEST CHARITY WALK IN 24 HOURS (multiple venues). It's a cross-country walk for a cause but will they do it?

- A few years ago, a Japanese company collaborated with Cie Games for the Asian equivalent of Car Town called Car Town EX. It's like the original one except it's available exclusively for Asian countries including the Philippines. Earlier this year, with Cie Games taking full responsibility of both versions, EX players from Asia-Pacific were shocked that Car Town EX's services will be ending soon. The blue points they had will retain once they switched to the original Car Town but sadly, all their hard-earned cars, decorations, and other stuff will be gone, which is somewhat a bad move for a small developer based in California. What would they do now?

- An infographic, according to our sources, pointed that there could be possible heavy traffics in the Metro in any event one of the 2014 infrastructure projects kicked in.

- Elisa, the singer behind the songs from Kagaku no Railgun, Hayate no Gotoku 2nd Season, TWGOK, and others, will be one of the special guests at April 2014's Sakura Con, marking her 1st arrival at a North American convention.

- Former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan returns to the screen as former CIA Agent Devereaux in the upcoming film November Man, based on the late Bill Granger's There Are No Spies, which is the seventh-installment of the 13-part November Man franchise. It also stars Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, Luke Bracey, and Bill Smitrovich. Roger Donaldson served as the director of the film.

- About 1 million units of the Toyota Prius have been recalled recently due to hybrid system problems.

- Asian V8 Championship, the Asian equivalent of NASCAR, will have a premiere at the 27th of February at the Resorts World Atrium while testing starts at March 1 at Batangas Racing Circuit. On the 5th and 6th of April, the first of three two-day motorsport festivals to showcase the new race will be held at Clark International Speedway.

- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 collaborates with the World Wildlife Fund to spread the message encouraging everyone to use their power to become superheroes for the planet. Our favorite friendly neighborhood, Spiderman, will be the first Super Hero ambassador for this year's EARTH HOUR, coinciding with the launch of Earth Hour Blue, a new digital crowdfunding platform for the planet to engage everyone in the annual lights off event, which will be held on the 29th of March, 2014, at 8:30PM.

TTFN!!!
