The project was "Enchong Dee at UAAP Magazine: Into the Blue", based on Into the Blue (2005 film) with a snorkeling scenes has been delayed for 48 months due to numerous hectic schedules undertaken since September 24, 2012 to present because of his personal busy schedule for the taping of hisAbs-Cbn's primetime television drama series "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" in which starring Kim Chiu, Xian Lim and Maja salvador replacing the timeslot ofLorenzo's Time starring Zaijan Jaranilla on Primetime Bida.

During the last day of September 2012, it was decided the UAAP Magazine editorial staff to drop UAAP Magazine's third issue 2012 as a regular feature citing over personal problems as a athlete and instead was Garage Magazine of Sesame Seeds Creatives, Inc. a subsidiary of Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation by October of this year as cover story feature with the many faces of this style savant as he conquered the fashion capital of Italy wearing Holiday 2012 menswear by esteemed Philippine fashion designers. However, he did not participate because of a schedule conflict in March 2010, and he cannot go to the 73rd UAAP Swimming Championship on September 23, 2010. He misses being part of the UAAP anymore, especially since he is no longer actively training. 

Dee is now considered the busiest Kapamilya actor and is also a singer. His latest music album, "Enchong Dee," features the newest single "Chinito Problems".

It is expected to feature again in the Magazine just in time for the 5th anniversary of his graduation in De La Salle University this June 20, 2014 for his pictorial and interview and article written by Toff de Venecia of Chalk Magazine, and it will be released in time for the 77th UAAP Swimming Competition on October 2, 2014. (Editor-in-Chief Jinno Rufino's Note: Due to the 2-day 30th Barrio Fiesta in London for the 20th Anniversary Celebration of The Filipino Channel (TFC), Enchong Dee was unable to shoot for the magazine's regular feature and rescheduled the pictorial to the third week of October 2014, due to the approval of UAAP Magazine Editorial Board.) Once it is procured separately, and the case is resolved. 

The reason: why is Enchong Dee is no longer an amateur competitive elite swimmer, member of the Philippine national swimming team, and participant of the UAAP Swimming Championship for 2 seasons (UAAP Season 73-2010 and UAAP Season 75-2012), and he is not retired as an athlete? There is no retirement plans for the celebrity as a sports athlete anymore? Napansin kung wala na si Enchong Dee sa UAAP. any update guys kung saan na siya ngayon? At ito ang dahilan kung ba't niya muntik na kinansela ang kanyang pictorial sa UAAP Magazine dalawang taon at tatlong buwan nakalipas?

Napansin kung wala na si Enchong Dee sa UAAP. any update guys kung saan na siya? At ito ang dahilan kung ba't niya kinansela ang kanyang pictorial sa UAAP Magazine dalawang taon at tatlong buwan nakalipas? Ask the ABS-CBN reporter Maan Macapagal or UAAP Magazine editorial consultant TJ Manotoc regarding the reason for the project. "We will look forward to this project, which is caused by his hectic schedule due to his future projects (including primetime drama series and movies), and it will push through beyond the year 2017, just in time for UAAP Season 80."

The problems were resolved about Dee's incomplete playing year for the Green Tankers in Season 75 in the same year, minus former coach Professor Rene "Guy" Concepcion and former swimming team captain Mike Advincula due to their graduation, because he wants to participate again this year, but he defers the training schedule. He decided to have a 60-day temporary restraining order from the Quezon City Regional Trial Court, and he was able to compete again in 2012. The 23-year-old actor is seeking to participate in future local and international swimming competitions because of his hectic schedule as an actor.

Soon, the compilations of photographs for the UAAP Swimming Championship at TRACE College Aquatic Sports Complex in Los Baños, Laguna, from 2007 to 2009 came from various Multiply.com users way back in 2007 up to 2009, to be released in the Magazine's 5th issue. But, after the end of first semester sports of UAAP last October 12, 2012, a day after the UAAP Men's Basketball Finals Game 2, the decision of the UAAP Magazine Staff that his regular feature will stalled or put on hold due to his busy schedules as an television actor it will have a long-delay for 36 months starting from September 24, 2012 to September 2015, it was extended to 2027.

The release date for the Magazine is on November 15, 2014.

Official Statement of PLDT on the turnover of old telephone books from junk shops

PLDT, Inc., previously recognized as the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, has proclaimed the allocation of outdated telephone directories from display at the Directories Philippines Corporation (DPC) Main Office and various junk shops across the nation to a newly established PLDT Library situated within the PLDT Ramon Cojuangco Building in Makati. For several years, efforts have been directed towards creating a proposed library that houses antique telephone directories organized by decade and year, ranging from 1958 to the present. This collection will also feature both older and modern smartphones, computers (including desktops and laptops), printers, projectors, telephone devices, and televisions from various technology firms. The telecommunications powerhouse envisions having a dedicated library within its headquarters. 

The exhibition of the historical PLDT-DPC Metro Manila telephone directory in an Ikea bookshelf illustrates the journey from the inaugural official flagship telephone directory published in 1958 (spanning the combined volume era) to the current period (covering the triple-volume era from 1977-1978 to 1983-1984, 1995-1996, and 2014-2015, as well as the double-volume era from 1984-1985 to 1994-1995 and the four-volume era from 1996-1997 to 2013-2014), all meticulously arranged by decade and year. From 1995-1996 to 2013-2014, the yellow pages were divided into two compilations titled "Household & Business" and "Commercial & Industrial," while since 1996, the white pages have been categorized into two sections known as "Government & Business Listings" and "Residential Listings. " The preservation of the covers and pages of these telephone directories is a priority, ensuring that they cannot be incinerated.
