At the moment, the Philippine SEA Games Organizing Committee has not actually received the lists of athletes competing in the games.


But Philsoc has received a large number of accreditation applications from the Thai media for the Bacolod events, indicating that Olympic medal-winning boxers and weightlifters of Thailand are coming to town.

The initial "Who’s he?" got an affirmative answer when his debut album Afro-Saxon turned out to be a mindblower that grabbed listeners and got them asking for more. Well, what we requested took quite sometime to come but it finally happened recently with the arrival of his latest effort Anglo Cubano. The album is once again a wonderful surprise.

                    [Summary] => Alex Wilson was one of last year’s most interesting surprises. The initial "Who’s he?" got an affirmative answer when his debut album Afro-Saxon turned out to be a mindblower that grabbed listeners and got them asking for more. Well, what we requested took quite sometime to come but it finally happened recently with the arrival of his latest effort Anglo Cubano. The album is once again a wonderful surprise.
