Just got word via Janette Toral in Facebook that Yahoo is going to release Pinoy themed statement tees for their Yahoo Purple Hunt campaign... and since I'm a big fan of statement tees (and since they're a hot trend in Philippine pop culture now) I thought I'd share some of the tees they pre-released online.

Globe prepaid hassles--disappearing load and more

What the hell? I was about to register for a prepaid SMS service, but I never got past that part because my load was short 3 bucks.
