Policy, not politics, should drive ICT
GOVERNMENT| Sept. 10, 2012, 6:04 p.m.
By Kokumo Goodie, Lagos, Nigeria
Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the governor of the State of Osun in South-west Nigeria, has called on politicians to cease playing politics with the development of information communications technology (ICT) and allow robust policies that will put the nation on the fast lane of the ICT super-highway to take centre stage.
Aregbesola was speaking at the Nigerian Telecoms Awards at The Incubator Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. He commended the establishment of the Ministry of Communications Technology, saying the Ministry would fast-track development in a world where ICT literacy is increasingly becoming a fundamental human right.
"One of the most forward-looking policy decisions of the Federal Government in recent time was the creation of the Ministry of Communications Technology to coordinate the nation's drive towards a digitalised economy," he said.
"This, no doubt, brings to the fore the indispensable significance of ICT to the development effort of Nigeria. It is my conviction that in matters having to do with ICT – especially in a world where ICT literacy is fast becoming a fundamental right – policy, rather than politics, should define the direction," he said.
He added that technology, just like time, waits for nobody and now is the time to act if the country's Vision 20:20 is not going to remain a mere pipe dream in the limbo of time.
Speaking of his administration's approach to building a knowledge-driven economy, he said much of its effort is focused on massive investment in e-youth strategies. "We believe that an investment in today's children and youth would yield the best returns in the not-too-distant future.
This is the sure path that we have resolved to follow. That is why we have invested in the Opon Imo (e-learning tablets), which is a self-study aid and a robust electronic device with uniform learning content designed for use in senior secondary schools in our state," he disclosed.
According to him, the electronic tablet comes pre-loaded with students' prescribed textbooks, tutorials and past questions in the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), the National Examinations Council (NECO) and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This kind of learning aid is traditionally known to be beyond the reach of the majority of students in the country. It has an in-built feedback mechanism for monitoring students' performance. These tablets are to be made available to all the senior secondary students for free. Through this initiative, the state government seeks to expose pupils of its senior secondary schools to information technology at an early age.
He said the government may have taken a cue from global best practices exemplified by similar project in India but added that this revolutionary e-learning device, so fittingly tagged Opon Imo (tablet of knowledge) is a trailblazing effort by the State Government of Osun; and it is meant to address the problem of access to vital educational resources.
India had in 2011 introduced the Aakash, a low-cost android-based e-learning device, under a programme to link 25,000 colleges and 400 universities. Although, the Opon Imo and the Aakash do share some basic, functional similarities of facilitating and deepening access to reading and instructional materials, they are different in terms of their architecture. The two devices were designed with features that are unique to their varied environments.
For instance, while the Aakash relies on external sources (the web) for content, the Opon Imo makes use of internal memory and hence is more suitable to our environment where Internet services are epileptic and unreliable.
The Opon Imo initiative, which is expected to deliver jobs and transfer new skills to the citizens of the state, promises to be a new, revolutionary learning experience for Osun secondary school pupils. This is one of the significant steps in our journey to a new beginning in the State of Osun.
"Our investment in computer for secondary school pupils was born out of our conviction that the future belongs to the digital age and it will be disastrous if our people are not prepared for this.
The computer has become the centre of the universe whether it is mainframe, desktop, laptop, handheld (as telephone) or palm top. It is interesting now that even artisans and motor mechanics need the computer to diagnose problems with cars and provide solutions to them.
Architects and draughtsmen now use the computer to design houses," he disclosed, stressing that even farmers need computers - for soil testing and analysis, planning, operating certain machinery, tracking farm animals, diagnosing diseases in plants and animals, confirming bank balances, requisitioning farm inputs such as seedlings, fertilisers and agro-chemicals and forecasting harvest.
Financial transactions are carried out in the comfort of our homes. Plane tickets are booked and paid for online while virtually limitless information on varying subjects are made available on the internet ranging from dating to how to commit suicide.
"Our investment in IT however goes beyond Opon Imo. We have also set up the OYES'TECH. Through it, we are training and empowering, at the start, about 5,000 youths on information technology. They are being trained over six months on how to assemble and repair computers, telephones and other electronic devices. Our target is to have 20,000 youths benefit from this scheme," he said about another initiative of the administration.
He recalled that last year, it entered into partnership with a private sector IT service provider on job creation under which the firm agreed to train and create employment by deploying a total of 5,000 Point of Sales/Point of Transactions Terminals (handheld machines) to 5,000 youths (OYES agents) as Equipment Loans. The firm will also train and identify various economic activities where the terminals can be used by the youths to generate income.
Under the scheme, access will be provided for various economic activities such as National Identity Data Capturing, Sale of Airtime of telecommunication companies, Central Bank of Nigeria cashless and money transfer programme.
Each of the 5,000 OYES agents (under the initiative) will be given a terminal (POS/POT machine) and its accessories, which will be financed upfront by the partnering firm. The project cost of providing the terminal, communication and associated working capital will be treated as equipment loans to the OYES agents and each agent is expected to repay the loan from his or her monthly income after which, the equipment (terminal) becomes that of the agent. The terminal will be used with skills acquired to earn a minimum monthly income of N40,000 under the firm's mentoring and training.
There has also been an increase in awareness and application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques in various sectors of government, including agriculture. We have embarked on an aerial mapping of the entire state and the establishment of Geo-Spatial Land Information Systems. This project has reached an advanced stage.
GIS application in the agriculture programme was initially adopted in the land validation project carried out on farm settlements in the state. At the end of the exercise, farm holdings are now easily validated, records updated and geo-referenced using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) devices and the data sets were then imported into a GIS environment to allow for storage, retrieval and analysis of the spatial data sets.
The Governor explained that with the Agricultural Land Parcelling Information Systems (A-LPIS), the state is therefore in a position to conduct: traceability, plan and track input supply, offer effective support and monitoring, predict yields, precision farming etc, on its farm settlements. The goal is the development of A-LPIS for the state, thus enabling information relating to agricultural lands in the state being available, real time, on the web and at the touch of a button.
Another area where technology has been deployed is tax administration." We have stopped the old practice of tax collection by travelling clerks. Rather, all taxes, rates and levies payable in the state are now done through the banks and paid directly into the accounts of the government.
With this technological innovation alone, we have blocked loopholes and have been able to double the internally generated revenue of the government from N300 million to N600 million," he said, stressing that with the support of all stakeholders, the drive towards making human capital the fundamental pillar of development will deliver its promise in a future that is not far from now.
He commend the board and management of the Nigerian Telecoms Awards for putting together the event, saying: "It is gratifying that this initiative has become a well-respected project among ICT stakeholders in Nigeria and Africa. I want to congratulate the other awardees for their well-deserved honour."

Vivid Named Studio of the Year- XCritic Consumer Reviews
The love triangle continues - on screen and off. Racquel and Buck are still having a torrid romance, but she's starting to drift away. He tries to convince her he's a good man, and that they should be together. Does he? Can he? Perhaps. Will you get Racquel, Dyanna Lauren, Isis Nile, Asia Carrera and nymphet Tara Monroe absolutely naked and in your face? Definitely. The Revenge of Bonnie & Clyde Part 4. The final chapter. Over and out... With a bang.
It's a movie within a movie. It's present day L.A. The set is brimming with the brand of sexual intrigue that just seems to follow Racquel Darrian wherever she goes. And the only thing hotter than the love triangle on camera is the love triangle behind the scenes. Racquel attacks Derrick. Dyanna does Jon. Buck does Isis. And Paul Thomas does the hit series right.
Lene is a model studying to be a detective. The friendly Buck is a gumshoe already. To help her get acquainted with the job, Buck lets Lene help out on a murder-1 case -- The victim being a model herself! Lene gets a feel for the work. And for Ariel and for Vanessa Chase. Asia gets a feel for Buck. Isis gets a feel for Jonathan. Shelby gets a feel for Ian. And Leena gets an anal feel for Jonathan! Got a Feel for Supermodel?

A Statement from Eldo Kim
In several weeks, it will have been a year since I emailed false bomb threats during my final exams. Looking back, I can only cringe at my sheer stupidity and immaturity.

Letter to the Editor
In the same fashion that student divestment efforts in the 1980s blossomed into a worldwide, successful campaign against South African apartheid investments, may this action inspire major change at Harvard and other institutions to stem climate chaos.

When I saw this fabric I knew I had to have it and I knew I wanted to sew a sommer dress out of it. I recently go these old Burda magazines and went through them. I finally decided on the pattern 116 from Burda 5/2004. It was easy to sew even with the liner. I'm really happy with it and can't wait for the really warm weather to come.

Historical Traveler Reviews Amathus Beach Hotel Paphos
Possibly the best Med resort hotel I have stayed at in 30 years
Just got back and I have to say that this is a terrific hotel , most 5 star beach hotels in my experience are closer to 4 star , not the Paphos Amathus . From the moment we arrived and were given a cold fruit punch and iced towel and then escorted to our room by the receptionist this was the real deal . The room was a decent size and modern with all the normal luxurys , we chose the top floor inland facing room to save a few pounds and I would recommend these , the views across the tennis courts to the shops and restaurants and the distant hills are fine plus the added advantage of no sun in the afternoon makes them cooler then the SV rooms . The hotel is low rise three story with the rooms in two wings and reception in the middle, terrific modern design makes the hotel always light and airy , the huge free form swimming pool has no shortage of sun beds and these plus the enormous grass areas between the pool and the beach mean that you will always find a sunbed . The staff roound the pool / grass/ beach area were the best I have ever seen , they won't allow you to move a sun bed on your own , umberallas are swiftly found and positioned where you want them , you don't have to move a muscle , drinks / food service around the pool is constant . Iced towels are provide daily at midday . And yet the hotel is still informal and not stuffy in any way . Jets skis / paragliding etc are on the beach and are proffessionaly managed . Can't comment on the food as we were on half board but the restaurants looked very classy , personally I dont understand why anybody would go for HB when 100 yards right out of the hotel there is an american, italian , french , greek , chinese restaurant and left is a seafood and greek restarant , we ate in most of these and all were very good . Its a 20 minute walk to the harbour (bit tatty) and more restaurants . While we were there we looked round the Annebelle (nice hotel but appeared small cramped and dark compared to the PA )and the Amyra (smaller and trendy style was not to my taste) but the PA was so much spacious with so much room. This was our first visit to Cyprus and I cannot beleive that there are many other hotels of the same standard . We managed to save money over brochure price by booking direct with the LHW website plus booking our own flights . Terrific hotel , crititisms ?? , biger corn flake bowls plus chocolates during the weird nightly 'turn down' service , ok the beach is not great but its actually better then i expected given previous comments
Superb Hotel
We visited this hotel in May this year, fantastic. A genuine 5 star property. Breakfast overlooking the med and so much fantastic food to choose from, everything from fresh strawberrirs to omlettes cooked to your liking while you wait! Watersports are 50 yards down the beach great fun and good value. We only stayed bed and breakfast, there are some really excellent restaurants just outside the hotel and the centre of Paphos is a three minute taxi ride away. Beach/pool towels provided and the rooms are excellent. Nearly all sea view and luxury robes and slippers provided.
We ate in the hotel restaurant once as a treat. Very expensive but you must try the lobster tail starter and the duck - superb - as is the service and the pianist at the grand piano!
A very nice hotel
I confirm everything that has been written by the other tripadvisors. The food was very good and the buffet excellent. Be careful though when paying your bill. The hotel does not give a good exchange rate and charges commission which, for the week, can be an extra �50+. Pay in Cypriot pounds on your credit card.
We liked it a lot!
Great place to stay for a week.
Rooms are nice and relatively large. Food and service are good.
Wines are rather overpriced, even for local Cyprus wines.
Wonderful pool.
The only drawback is that there is no real beach. They should remove the word "beach" from the hotel name.
But we liked this place and we'll go back.
I visited the Paphos Amathus Beach Hotel in June 2003 with my family. It was simply fantastic, the food was great, the staff were accommodating and the hotel was beautifully luxurious and sophisticated. The hotel is situated right on the sea front and the views are quite breathtaking. It is perfect for families and couples. Its a great hotel, even though a little expensive.
Stayed there for eleven nights in october,Brilliant!!! Staff Brilliant,Hotel Brilliant,Pool Brilliant,Food Brilliant what more can i say,Beach small but spotless not cheap but well worth it.Can't wait to go back
Paphos amathus beach hotel
What a luxurious hotel this is.we stayed here for 1 week and i wished it could have been for longer. The staff and management we very helpful and attentive. the spa is excellent and the indoor pool very inviting. When we arrived we were given an upgraded room as our air conditioning was not working which we had not had time to notice as we had just arrived The pool is loverly and the pool staff are very attentive even coming round with ice cold flannels to cool you. The food is excellent with waiter service in the amarosa resteraunt.The breakfast was somthing else with so much choice. All in all if you want a holiday that is totally relaxing and with attentive staff and luxurious surroundings go there!
A lovely setting
we had a week at the amathus beach - the service was very good - it was quite luxurious. Great for the children - games room ( but computers didn't appear to have been set with parental control!) Lovely pool - great cocktails. Food in restaurants excellent but expensive. Our junior suite on the ground floor was spacious enough - the view was partial sea view, partial disused building although we never sat in what amounted to our back yard! Small beach nearby where you could go jet skiing or paragliding. Breakfast was great - lots of choice and good quality. Lots of Brits there - children made friends and very safe for them. Children's disco so adults can eat in restaurants nearby!!! A lovely hotel, maybe in need of a little refurbishment in some rooms but overall very nice and would go there again. Children told not to run on the marble floors incase they slipped - hotel staff very polite and friendly - my young sons wanted me to say this and they had a great time. When I asked my younger son who is just seven what he thought of the hotel, he said it was fabulous and the best hotel he has been to. My soon to be ten year old son thought it was tremendously fantastic - his words. My partner used the gym on several occasions which he enjoyed. The numbers of people to pool space was fine - never too crowded or noisy. Very relaxing.
Perfect hotel
Stayed here 3 times, wonderful hotel. Has everything you could wish for a perfect holiday. Excellant Food, spotless everywhere and warm friendly staff.
Excellent hotel
This really was a luxurious hotel with all ameinities you could wish for. Being one of the leading hotels of the world, the rooms were furnished to very high standards, and after the daily room service, sweets were left on your pillow! Couldn't ask for any more. When we arrived we were greated by cocktails and cool flannels, friendly staff and beautifully furnished marble everything in the whole hotel.
The pool and pool bar were beautiful, the indoor pool also good and great boutiques and beauty salons/treatments to indulge in. Beautiful grounds with everything from banana trees to hibiscus in, around the pool.
Food was lovely, both a la carte evening meals and the spectacular breakfasts - everything from rows and rows of fruit to freshly baked pastries and much much more.
Only one small snag - beach was really quite small, although private - try Polis or Coral Bay for a great beach trip - very beautiful. Although the local beach was great for hoping onto for a little banana boat ride!!!

Watching the bombers go by....
So, out first night in Cyprus, our kind host showed us our flat, then showed us the base where the bombers leave to go and bomb ISIS. We have a great view from our window :) , no I mean we really do, gorgeous coast and beach view from where we are.

When Life Gives You Lemons....
... Who knew the bus schedule was different on Sunday right?...LOL. I was so tired from not sleeping two nights ago and then walking around all day yesterday at Paphos with ~50lbs backpack. I probably walked ~6.5mi in 90+ degree heat. I was soaking wet and utterly exhausted. I have never walked and been so tired and have my feet sore, but it was probably the extra weight from my pack and the temperature.
Well, anyway, so ...
Agia Kyriaki (Chrisopolitissa) & St. Paul's Pillar
Agia Kyiakis is a 12th-century A.D. Byzantine church. It is not overly impressive, but it does have a large basilica and bishop's palace surrounding it from the 4th century A.D. In the front courtyard of the church there stands a white, 1st-century pillar according to tradition, is the place where Paul was tied and scourged. Of course, there is no historical evidence for this claim but the pillar very well could have been around when Paul was ...
Tombs of the Kings
These graves are not thought to belong to royalty but to wealthy, prominent families and persons. The tombs date back to the 3rd-century B.C. The most impressive tombs are peristyle with Doric columns encircling an open court or lining the entrance way to the tomb. Each tomb was carved out from native rock and typically contained several graves (burial places). Most, if not nearly all, of these graves would have been present when Paul was visiting the city. ...
Akamas Peninsular
... The site was obviously being developed and what it lacked in information it made up for in freedom of access.
Our last visit was to Geroskipou. This village was on the road to the airport. It was described as quaint but wasn't. The small church was attractive though and worthy of a later visit if time permits.
We took the coast road back into Kato Paphos and stopped for a beer at The Harbour bar. We returned to the hotel quite ...

Ignore money: Shaheen's awful college advice
Sen. Shaheen is a sponsor of the "Pay As You Earn plan." The legislation "caps payments for Federal Direct Student Loans at 10 percent of discretionary income," as a Shaheen press release explained it. The idea is that recent college graduates often have low-paying jobs, so their student loan payments should be held to levels they can always afford to make.
Shaheen said the plan "is especially important for workers in lower-paying public service careers, such as teachers, nurses, or first-responders." Then she made this stunning statement: "Students should be able to pursue a career based on their passions and interests, not by concerns about being able to pay back their loans."
In what universe?
Shaheen would have students pursue their dreams free from financial considerations. Their parents might have other ideas. Choosing to be a social worker or a (gulp) journalist instead of a banker or entrepreneur is a matter of more than personal fulfillment. It is a matter of economics as well. Young people should understand the real-life financial consequences of their career choices. They should not be encouraged by government policy to expect that such consequences are a matter of no concern.
The ready availability of government-subsidized, low-interest student loans already encourages people to pursue careers with little regard to their ability to repay those debts. Further distancing career choices from the financial realities that await in the real world sounds compassionate, but it could lead to many more people staying in debt much longer while pursuing work for which there is little demand.

The Minamata disaster - 50 years on
Also in this week's column: Is there any evolutionary advantage in snoring? What is deep vein thrombosis? Can leaving a baby to 'cry it out' cause brain damage? The Minamata disaster - 50 years on It is now 50 years since the most horrific mercury poisoning disaster the world has ever seen took place in Minamata, Japan. In …
Using Mercury in Humans
Just a quick note to let readers know that mercury is used in most vaccines even with the potential heath risk (It is probably used to weaken the virus often contained in the vaccines). We shoot up 3 month old infants with the same quantity of mercury that an adult receives even though the child is less than 1/10 the size and many organs of the child's body are still developing. These vaccines may be linked to autism, often appears a while after birth and which has some characteristics of the "Mad Hatter" syndrome.
Vaccines, in many cases, are beneficial but others may not be needed especially at 3 months of age, while a child is still developing. For example, Hepatitis B, all the documents that the Drs office gave on why this vaccine is needed refers to adult activities as the means of getting hepatitis B. Why are they wanting to give this to a 3 month old?
Be careful, mercury is still considered harmless in controlled amounts. I have a hard time believing that a small amount is harmless.

So... I found my copy of Windows 7 Professional and figured I'd reformat the gaming PC I just bought.. But I did that and now when I try to get on, I can't get online, saying windows cannot find network drivers..
I assume the problem there is I need to redownload my motherboard drivers on a new PC..
That is the motherboard I have.. What drivers do I need to download to get my PC working back fine?
I'm pretty much a PC noob so I'm not really sure...
Big thanks for the help duders, I messed up! :'(

The 7 key events from San Diego Comic-Con 2014
Another year of one of the world's biggest pop culture convention, San Diego Comic-Con 2014, is in the books. Here are the key moments — and lack of key moments — that fans are talking about coming out of this year's convention.
Marvel, DC disappoint fans by keeping movie plans under wraps
The fans who made it in for the first Hall H panel Saturday morning were the ones who camped overnight, and while they had the chance to see some first peeks, they were left wanting when it came to announcements about the cinematic futures of the two big comic book companies.
At the Warner Bros. movie panel, director Zack Snyder brought out the cast of the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," including Henry Cavill (Superman), Ben Affleck (Batman) and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman). The cast proceeded to wave at the fans then immediately leave, without answering any questions from either the moderator or fans, or saying anything at all.
Weird Al parodies the Pixies in #FirstWorldProblems, the 6th of 8 music videos in 8 days
"Weird Al" Yankovic
A screenshot from Weird Al's "First World Problems."
"Weird Al" Yankovic is in the middle of releasing eight videos over the course of eight days from his new album "Mandatory Fun," and the first of two weekend videos brings us "First World Problems."
In the song, he takes the #FirstWorldProblems meme and tackles such deep problems as someone calling him on the phone instead of texting, no breakfast menu since he slept in until 2 and only having non-gluten-free cookies available in the airport lounge.
Feel free to assume to assume Al's character in this video — and his self-described "douchey" blonde wig — are from whatever part of Southern California that you hate the most.
The song is a style parody of the Pixies, including a nod to the band with an opening rift lifted from the pixies' "Debaser." Compare it to the original here:
Batman kisses Spider-Man on pre-Comic-Con magazine cover
Pacific San Diego Magazine
Batman kisses Spider-Man on the cover to the July 2014 issue of Pacific San Diego Magazine.
Free monthly Pacific San Diego Magazine has two big events this coming week: the city's gay pride festival this weekend, and San Diego Comic-Con next week. They took the two and combined them with a riff on the Spider-Man upside-down movie kiss in an unauthorized DC/Marvel crossover on this month's cover.
"As Pride and Comic-Con descend upon San Diego, the time has come to reveal the truth: all heroes are welcome, even when they're kissing their boyfriends," Pacific San Diego Magazine editor-in-chief/publisher David Perloff told Fox 5 San Diego.
The cover faced split reaction, with San Diego Pride voicing their support while mother Cindy Montoya told Fox 5 "I don't want to see it right on the street where my daughter can get it."
Perloff also wrote some flirtatious dialogue for Spidey and Bats' secret identities, including Peter Parker promising to walk in the pride parade with the Hulk in drag as Wonder Woman.
Is it OK to crowdfund a trip to San Diego Comic-Con?
Jerod Harris/Getty Images for Marvel
A general view of the atmosphere at Marvel's 'Thor: The Dark World' Autograph Signing - Comic-Con International 2013 on July 21, 2013 in San Diego.
Writer and vlogger Kiala Kazebee is set to appear at a San Diego Comic-Con panel on women in comics, but she's come under fire for using crowdfunding to pay for her trip.
Kazebee explains on her GoFundMe page, which launched Tuesday, that she was laid off and lost her home due to a break-up. She has plans to move to Los Angeles, but that move is where her savings have all been allocated, so she sought support from her fans to enable her to attend Comic-Con.
In addition to the panel she's appearing on, she's also set to meet with fans of her online video show Vaginal Fantasy Book Club, which also stars actress Felicia Day, and she also wanted to socialize with friends and fans. The effort was fully funded in one day.
Kazebee expressed her own reservations about using crowdfunding.
Chinese moviegoers love Michael Bay's 'Transformers,' but where are the critics?
Fresh Movie Trailers (via YouTube)
Trailer for "Transformers: Age of Extinction": It's a huge hit...in China
Chinese moviegoers really liked the Na'vi in James Cameron's "Avatar." But they are head over heels in love with the Autobots in Michael Bay's "Transformers: Age of Extinction."
The latest clashing robots sequel has shattered China's all-time box office record set by "Avatar," which grossed $221.9 million back in 2010. In just three weeks of release, the third "Transformers" sequel has grossed $262.3 million.
That's substantially more than the critically drubbed action film netted in domestic theaters, where "Transformers: Age of Extinction" has taken in $208 million. While that's certainly a relatively good haul, the comparative returns trail the first three "Transformers" films at the same point in release.
Chinese moviegoers have been inordinately kind to Bay's films for a long time. The original "Transformers" movie grossed $45 million in China in 2007, the 2009 sequel took in $72 million there and the third film hauled in $172 million in 2011.

Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant to open in PH
MANILA, Philippines -- The American kid-friendly restaurant chain Chuck E. Cheese's is set to open its first branch in the country this year.
Lisa Ronquillo, assistant vice president for marketing of The Bistro Group, said the branch, located at the newly renovated Glorietta mall in Makati City, will open its doors to the public before the first quarter of the year ends.
The Bistro Group is known as the home of several international and homegrown casual dining brands including TGI Friday's, Italianni's, Fish & Co., Flapjacks, Pig Out! Krazy Garlik, The Stock Market, Bulgogi Brothers, Ma Maison, Village Tavern, Watami and Modern Shanghai, which was just launched a few days ago.
"We'll soon have Chuck E. Cheese's, which is a family entertainment concept. Think Timezone with food and party function areas," Ronquillo told ABS-CBNnews.com during the launch of The Bistro Group's newest campaign called "Taste the Love."
"We're opening two this year. The first one will be in Glorietta," she added.
The US-based Chuck E. Cheese's has some 500 branches in different locations such as United Arab Emirates, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Saudi Arabia.
The restaurant is known for offering video games and high-tech simulator rides on top of its family-friendly dishes such as pizza and sandwiches.
