Pope Benedict: "Rock music is

Pope Benedict a.k.a. Ratzinger is at it again.
Ratzinger who two years ago condemned Harry potter as
"corrupt (a sentiment shared by Becky Fischer)," and who
in his infinite wisdom cried that the Internet is bad, has
confessed in his new book John Paul II, My Beloved
Predecessor that he failed to stop Bob Dylan from playing
for the late Pope. Paranoid that he is, Ratzinger believe
without proof that Bob Dylan was a "prophet." A prophet
who according to Ratzinger should not be allowed to
appear in public stages. Ratzinger, who was just a
Cardinal then, was forced to endure a set by Dylan.

Yahoo! Answers Philippines launched last week and so
far the answers, specially from the top users, are nothing
but delightful. Chin Wong in his Manila Standard Today
column pondered on the challenge that Yahoo Answers
had to, well, answer: how to make "sure that the right
people see the right questions."
Muddling through Yahoo! Answers Philippines, the
look and color scheme of which is consistent with Yahoo
Answers Blog - Green, green and more green - a trend
which reverberate in other lime coated Web 2.0
companies. Furthermore I couldn't help but think of Rico
Mossesgeld's blog. Fool for Five was after all built on a
concept of Rico asking question and answering it himself -
a mirror monologue ruminations. Yahoo, on the other
hand, took the question portion and flung it unto the
community to create a multi-part dialogue - a forum built
or ruined (depending on your answer) by trust.

How to Save Philippines from
Sinking
March 05, 2007 | Atheism | Philippines

Basang Panaginip http://basangpanaginip.blogspot.com/
When I was around 10 years old, my mother exiled
me for attempting to watch the pre-EDSA revolution
protests. This was during the early 80s. Waking up at
dawn, I would traverse streets selling newspapers, just so
I can have enough pocket money to visit the protests
sites. I was able to keep this secret from my mother for a
few months, but as what happens with youth, a series of
blunders led me to being found out.
There, in a small provincial town north of Luzon, the
beauty of nature stood naked, with it's glistening river,
obscure crocodile-filled swamp, and rolling hills. There, in
the back of a carabao, atop a caimito tree, I found the
simple pleasures of this planet we call earth.
This glimmer of joyous youth, was marred with a
black dot, as a few years back before my kindergarten, I
witnessed the nearby river swallowed whole this beautiful
town. The typhoon and incessant torrent of rain spilled
over creating a chest-level flood. Many evacuated, and I
remember groups of people huddled on the 2nd floor of a
neighbor Chinese convenient store.

Children to be Terrorists!
February 28, 2007 | Atheism
We are all born atheist. As babies, we have no
conception of Jesus, Abraham, or Mohammad. Yet
fundamentalists tell us otherwise - that we are born
Christians, Jews or Muslim. Growing up, some of us are
bombarded with dogmas that our young, innocent minds
accepted without question - adults know it all as the story
goes. Some us outgrow the teachings of our parents that
Santa Claus gave the gift under the Christmas tree. Yet,
woe to others, many growing up couldn't shake the white
bearded old man, many still believe that he is the
gift-giver.

Driving through a Swiss city one day, Sir Alfred
Hitchcock, the British filmmaker famous for suspense and

and said, "That is the most frightening sight I have ever
seen." His companion was surprised to see nothing more
alarming that a priest in conversation with a little boy, his
hand on the child's shoulder. "Run, little boy," cried
Hitchcock, leaning out of the car. "Run for your life!"

What are the general details of your boat trip
to Boracay?
We rode the Negros Navigation ferry from the
Manila Pier to Caticlan on our way to Boracay
and the WG&A Super Ferry on our way home.
There were four of us going there and three
going home.
How long was the trip?
The actual boat ride itself averages 12 hours.
Going there we arrived the port at around 3
p.m., boarded the boat around 5:30. We were
actually the last ones to board. There were
problems with people who booked online. We
finally got off the boat around 8:30 a.m. the

Baguio Flower Festival
Blooms Anew
Posted by ka_edong on February 24th, 2007
at Baguio
After a series of “challenging” years, Baguio is
once again celebrating a “normal” Panagbenga
(Flower Festival). Among the previous years’
difficulties were the meningo scare, strong
rains during Flower Fest parades and (worst!)
having two Flower Festival organizers — trust
the politicians to make the worst out of a good
thing.
But all is nice and rosy once again for the
Baguio Flower Festival 2007. The Baguio Flower
Festival is in Bloom Anew!
I was at the street dancing parade this morning
along with a million others joining the
festivities. The crowds were sooo thick, I
thought I was re-living my past life as a
sardine! Except for the huge crowds and traffic,
all else was Lovely! See some photos of the
Baguio Flower Festival at my gallery. Am
expecting better photos tomorrow at the float
parade! If only I could get past the stern
looking boy scout steadfastly guarding the
cordon …

Paraw Regatta: Sailing
On for 35 years
Posted by habagatcentral on February 22nd,
2007 at Road Trip, Iloilo, Guimaras
Sailing the Ilonggo seas for more than thirty
years, the Paraw Regatta has been the
manifestation of the Ilonggos long history with
the sea. “Paraw” is a Hiligaynon term that
refers to the sail boat that has a triangular sail
used for traveling and fishing.
The Paraw Regatta, perhaps the oldest sailing
event in Southeast Asia, is held every
February depending on weather
conditions. This event has been instituted in
1973 and thus became an annual celebration of
Ilonggo’s maritime life.
The regatta reminisces the escape of the Ten
Bornean Datus to escape the tyranny of Sultan
Makatunaw that led them to Panay Island
along with their families using the “balanghai”
or sail boats that has been copied by the
modern “paraw”.

Rounin Starts on April 16
Philippines Best of Blogs
Complete with costume ang major cast ng Rounin, na
kinabibilangan nina Diether Ocampo, Luis Manzano,
Angelica Panganiban, Rafael Rosell, Nikki Gil, Jhong
Hilario, Rayver Cruz, Shaina Magdayao, Joross Gamboa,
Melissa Ricks, TJ Trinidad, Agot Isidro, Ina Raymundo,
Geoff Eigenmann, Monsour del Rosario at Carlos Agassi,
among others, sa grand press launch na idinaos ng ABS-CBN
last Thursday night.

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
napakalaking tele-epiko. Sa presscon ay nagbigay ng
background si Deo Endrinal (executive in charge of production)
kung paano nabuo ang ambisyosong proyekto.
Nagsimula raw itong i-conceptualize noong
October-November of 2005 kaya it took them one and a half
years para mabuo ito. In fact, hanggang ngayon, nasa last stages
of taping pa sila. Sa paghahanap na lang ng location para maitayo
ang mundo ng Rounin ay kumain na sila ng katakut-takot na
oras at araw. Nakakita sila ng isang 44-hectare abandoned
cement factory at dalawang buwan ang ginugol para maitayo
ang mga bayan ng Lumeria, Helion, Vesta, Argos at Icarra.
Ang lahat ng cast ay sumailalim sa three-month rigid training
ng iba't ibang uri ng martial arts, tulad ng capoeira, muay
thai, judo, kali (arnis at knife fighting) at wushu. Sa
kauna-unahang pagkakataon ay nakipagtulungan ang ABS-CBN
sa Reality Pictures at Larger than Life Productions para sa
gagamiting special effects ng serye.
Dito naubos ang pinakamaraming oras ng paghahanda para sa
Rounin, dahil isang shot lang daw ay inaabot ng isang buwan
para sa effects. Nagsimulang gawin ang special effects noong
July, 2006 at hanggang ngayon, abala pa ang mahigit 1,000
technicians ng Larger than Life para masigurong
mamamangha ang manonood.
Sa April 16 na magsisimulang mapanood ang Rounin at ito ang
kauna-unahang high definition series na ipalalabas sa
Philippine TV, mula sa direksyon ni Erik Matti with fight
director Philip Kho and co-directors Jerome Pobocan at
Richard Somes.

Gerald Anderson's manager denies that
his talent is leaving him
Itinanggi ng manager ni Gerald Anderson ang tsismis na gusto
nang lumayas sa kanya ng aktor. Wala raw itong katotohanan.
Okey pa rin daw ang relasyon nila ngayon ng PBB Teen
Edition runner-up na si Gerald. Imposible rin daw makawala sa
kanya si Gerald dahil may kontrata siya rito.

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
Isang dating malapit sa manager ni Gerald naman ang nakausap
namin at nagpahayag ng pagkalungkot sa nangyayari. "Hindi na
siya natuto. Yung ginagawa niya noon kay Joross Gamboa at
naging problema nila, eh, ginagawa na naman niya ngayon kay
Gerald, sabi pa nito.
Samantala, hindi pa namin personal na nakakausap si Gerald
kaya hindi pa namin alam ang side niya. Regarding our source of
this story, sigurado kaming hindi siya nagsisinungaling dahil siya
mismo ang kumausap kay Jun para ayusin ang tungkol sa
commission issue sa kanila ni Gerald kasama ang isa pang sikat
na TV host.
"Natunugan na siguro niya (manager) ang plano ni Gerald kaya
bantay-to-death siya ngayon sa mga taping nito. Kung saan
magpunta si Gerald, nandon din siya. Pero wala na siyang
magagawa kung sakaling ang talent na niya ang umayaw sa kanya
at magreklamo," wika naman ng lady reporter na dati ring
malapit sa manager ni Gerald.

PBB2 Updates : Housemates' Dance
Rehearsal and Nel as the dancing
house pet
4 of 45 3/24/2007 2:59 PM

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
Big Brother asked the housemates to rehearse their dance
steps for the song assigned to them. Mickey choreographed
majority of the steps while some housemates pitch in their
ideas. The song, if i'm not mistaken, is from ABS-CBN's
Summer Station ID and as part of the housemates' task, they
should come up with a dance number. So here's a video clip of
them rehearsing in the living area.
Wondering what Nel was doing? Since Nell was the 5th
housemate to answer big brother's call from the big red
phone, he can't dance with his fellow housemates. The 5th call
is bad news and constitutes being a house pet for a day. Did
that stop him from dancing? Hell No! He's making his own
moves in one corner as shown in this pic. hehe

Other updates: Tonight's the night! The housemates will be
asked to complete their weekly task. They will only be given
15 minutes (for all 14 housemates) to finish the maze. Will it
be a victory for them or could it be 3 failures in a row?

Kris Aquino, pamimigay na ang
GKNB?
"You want the show? You can have it!" Yan ang dayalog ni
Kris Aquino kay Edu Manzano nung super thankful ang
actor-TV host, dahil sa kanya nga ipinagkatiwala ang Pilipinas,
Game Ka Na Ba? hosting habang nagpapahinga si Kris.
Aminado si Edu na parang si Kris na rin ang nagbigay sa kanya
ng extra income bukod sa ginagawa niyang Walang Kapalit
teleserye with Claudine Barretto and Piolo Pascual.
"You're doing good, huh!" sey pa ni Kris. Kaya ikinuwento pa
ni Edu na sinisimulan na niyang i-enjoy ang hosting sa PGKNB?
Biro ni Kris, "You want the show? You can have it!" at
nagtawanan na lang ang dalawa.

In fairness, magkaiba ang style ng hosting nina Edu at Kris.
Sanay na tayo at kabisado na natin si Kris pag nag-host. Si Edu
naman, hanep din ang hirit ng punchline, kaya eksaktong
pinchhitter siya ni Kris.

PBB2 Updates : Dionne answers
Kuya's 4th call
The housemates were busy practicing for their weekly task when
big brother's big red phone rang. Mickey asked all the

It was good news for dionne because the 4th call constitutes a
1-minute-storage-room shopping spree. Big Brother gave a
5,000 pesos limit for dionne and will just be called again if the
storage room is ready. Now who's gonna answer big brother's
5th call and become a pet for a day? It's not always a good
news housemates! hehe

Gerald Anderson, iiwan na ang
manager
Nakakalungkot ang narinig naming kuwento tungkol kay Gerald
Anderson at sa discoverer-manager niyang si Jun Reyes.
Mukhang hindi na raw kasi magtatagal at aalis na rin sa poder ni
Jun ang talent niyang si Gerald.
9 of 45 3/24/2007 2:59 PM

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
Ang dahilan, pera! Hindi raw nagkakasundo sa pera ang dalawa
dahil masyadong naaagrabyado si Gerald sa komisyon na
kinukuha ni Jun dito. Bukod daw sa komisyon na kinukuha ng
ABS-CBN Star Magic, kumukuha rin si Jun ng hiwalay na 30%
sa binata kaya halos kalahati na lang o mas mababa pa roon
ang natitira kay Gerald.
Isang very reliable source namin ang nagkumpirma tungkol sa
problemang ito ni Gerald sa kanyang manager. Ang katwiran
naman daw ng manager, ginagastusan niya si Gerald kaya
wala itong karapatang magreklamo.
Pinapa-presscon daw ni Jun si Gerald at doon napupunta ang
bahagi ng komisyon na kinukuha niya. Giit naman ng source
namin: "Oo nga, ipinapa-presscon niya pero ilang reporters lang
ba ang ini-invite niya. Yung dating mga close kay Gerald at
tumutulong sa kanya noon di naman niya naiimbita. At saka,
hindi na kailangan ng presscon ngayon ni Gerald. Very visible
siya sa TV, huh!"
Pinagsabihan na rin si Jun ng isang female TV host na malapit sa
kanya ang executive producer ng isang programa ng Dos na
ayusin ang problema sa pagitan nila ni Gerald. Kung saka-sakali
nga naman kasi na umalis si Gerald sa poder ni Jun, eh, wala na
siyang magagawa kahit pa may kontrata silang dalawa.
On the lighter side, going strong pa rin ang loveteam nina
Gerald at Kim Chiu na regular na napapanood sa Sana Maulit
Muli ng ABS-CBN. With or without Jun Reyes, alam namin na
makakaya pa rin namang maka-survive ni Gerald dahil tiyak na
hindi siya pababayaan ng Star Magic

SMM Teaser : Death Runs After
Jasmine
Here's the new Sana Maulit Muli teaser where death runs after
Jasmine no matter how hard Travis tried to save her from her
destiny. Mr. Destiny reminds them that you cannot cheat death
no matter what angle you try to put it. I noticed the falling
billboard scene was similar to the last scene of the movie final

Rounin : The Most Expensive and
Most Star-Studded Philippine TV
Series
Nagulat kami to find out na 85 stars pala ang kasama sa fantasy
series na Rounin ng ABS-CBN, na malapit nang isaere. Sa
kasaysayan ng telebisyon, we'd say na ito na yata ang
pinaka-star-studded kung ganun. Pero dahil sa rami, hindi kasya
sa espasyo kung babanggitin namin ang lahat ng cast members,
aside from the fact na hindi rin namin sila memorized lahat.
Basta ang major cast ay sina Diether Ocampo, Angelica
Panganiban, Shaina Magdayao, Rayver Cruz, Luis
Manzano, Joross Gamboa, Melissa Ricks, Jhong Hilario,
Rafael Rossel, Nikki Gil at marami pang iba.
Sa April 23 na magsisimula ang airing nito replacing Maging
Sino Ka Man, at balitang pantapat sa Lupin ng GMA-7
starring Richard Gutierrez.
Bukod sa pinaka-star-studded, isa rin daw ito sa most
expensive Tv series to be aired on Philippine television. Bukas
ang grand presscon ng Rounin at ang malaking tanong,
makarating kaya lahat ang 85 stars na kasama sa serye?

Kuya's 2nd call
Zeke was the first one to answer Kuya's call from Big Bro's
Big Red Phone. He spent the whole day under the sun and was
forbidden to take a bath for two days. Now it's mickey who
answered the 2nd call. The first time he answered, Big Bro said
that he was just "testing" if the phone works.

Around Lunch time, the phone rang again and Mickey
answered again. Big Bro told him that the 2nd call was good
news and asked him to gather all the housemates and tell them
what the call was all about.
The 2nd call constitutes the PAMPERING REWARD which
includes facial, haircut and foot massage. I wonder who
would answer the 3rd call and get one of his/her wishes
granted?

pagtatambal nila ni Angel Locsin sa Angel of Mine episode
ng Angel trilogy na produced ng Eagle Eye Entertainment
nina Becky Aguila at Angel Locsin.
Si John Prats ang pumalit kay Jericho and hopefully, may

panoorin ang pelikulang may May 16 playdate. Kasama rin sa
episode sina Charming Lagusad, Bianca at Katrina Aguila,
Charee Pineda, Eugene Domingo, Malou Crisologo at
Pinky Amador.
Nalaman namin kay Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, manager
ni Jericho na may offer nga si Becky, pero ang schedule nito ang
main problem. Marami raw itong sisimulang project sa
ABS-CBN at malabong matanggap ang pelikula. Na-text din ng
talent manager na dinumog ang actor nang bumisita sa Ghana,
Africa at kinailangan ng bodyguards. Popular siya roon dahil
palabas ang Pangako Sa 'Yo na ang English title ay Timeless

PBB2 First Nomination Night : Kian,
Jasmin, Gee-an and Bea
It was quite a bittersweet moment last night when the
housemates, after meeting four new residents a few days earlier,
had to say goodbye to two of them. Jeremy and Mikah's
personalities may be missed inside the Big Brother house, but it
was Kian who was treated to an unfortunate twist of fate. After
he was automatically nominated, three other housemates
joined him as well, in Pinoy Big Brother Season Two's first
official nomination night.
Jasmin received the most votes from her peers. Twelve votes
said she was a bit bossier than usual, and that her
finger-pointing turned out to be a big issue as well. Upon
learning this, Jasmin appealed to her mates in Davao,
Zamboanga and Osamis, saying: "Kaya ko dito, pinapakita ko

lang ang tunay na ako."
Gee-Ann, who over the last few days expressed a yearning to
leave the PBB House, may just get her wish in a week. Although
she changed her mind, the stigma remained, and it reflected into
five votes against her. She asked for support, but not only for
herself: "Marami pa kaming maipapakita ni Pamela sa
loob."
Bea was the last to be nominated. Her five votes stemmed from
the observation that she was at times insincere, and a little bossy.
Her voice was shaky when she said: "To my family thank you,
kase pinagdadasal nila ako."
Here's the official tally of the nomination for eviction.
I'm guessing it's gonna be jasmin that would go home next
week because of her attitude problem. Although she was trying
her best to change her bossy attitude, it wasn't enough to swing
the votes of her fellow housemates. But then, we won't know
how the voting will turn out since she's from the south and
probably have a lot of supporters. We'll just have to see who
will be evicted next week.

Sina Ryan and Maja ang nasa title role bilang magkapatid with
the kuya na about to get married and the bunso doing everything
para hindi ito matuloy. resumably, this would have been
Dingdong's and Jennylyn's roles sana.
Now, Jennylyn is still part of the cast bilang the bride to be of
Ryan na dapat ay kay Iza noon. Jennylyn also replaced Jolina
Magdangal, na original choice for this revived project, but had
to decline. Magsisimula na kasi ang election period at tutulong si
Jolens na kumampanya for her boyfriend Bebong Munoz na
tatakbo for congressman sa second district ng Caloocan.
Ang role naman na para kay Mark Herras noon, that of a
wannabe actor na sali nang sali sa mga talent-reality shows, ay
napunta kay Jason Abalos, na isa ring produkto ng artista search
show, Star Circle Quest II, gaya ni Mark na produkto naman
ng StarStruck.
Si Topel Lee ang magdidirek ng My Kuya's Wedding, his first
romantic film after three successive horror movies, Dilim,
"Yaya" episode of Shake, Rattle & Roll 8, and the upcoming
Ouija from GMA Films.

Mikah Dizon and Jeremy Hidano ended their week long stay
inside the Big Brother house after the public decided to let
Bodie Cruz and Maricris Dizon occupy the last two
housemate slots. It was a chance in a lifetime for the four
housemate hopefuls but sadly the lass from Baguio and the
boy from Japan had to go tonight.
Here's the official vote tally of the 4 secret housemates which, I
find very surprising. I was hoping for Mikah to stay instead
of Maricris because she adds more color if compared to
Maricris' rather "lifeless fixture" in the house.

humihilera ako sa mga tulad nila. Idol ko po sila kaya mananatili
akong tagahanga nila at di ako puwedeng pumantay sa kanila,"
very humble na sabi ni Yeng sa pictorial ng PDA scholars last
March 14.
Marami ang nagsasabi na deserving na raw matawag si Yeng
bilang "Rock Princess" dahil dalawa na ang hit singles niya
mula sa kanyang debut album na Salamat for Star Records.
Kailan nga lang ay nabigyan si Yeng ng Platinum Record
Award, ngayon ay nakaabot na sa Double Platinum ang
kanyang album.
"Yung title na Rock Princess, parang hindi ko pa deserve yon,"
sabi ni Yeng. "Tama na yung tawagin akong Grand Dreamer.
Yun na lang. Ayokong may magsabi na nang-aagaw ako ng title.
Para lang yon kina Barbie at Kitchie, para sa mga idols ko."
Naging successful ang naging show ng PDA Top 6 sa Tokyo,
Japan kamakailan, kung saan nakasama nila sina Sam Milby at
Piolo Pascual. Ngayon ay naghahanda naman ang grupo para sa

PBB2 Updates : Voluntary Exit for
Gee-Ann?
Mariel's statement from PBB2 Uplate meant a lot. She said that
25 of 45 3/24/2007 2:59 PM

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
one housemate's decision could totally change the fate of the 4
secret housemates. Is Gee-Ann really up for a voluntary exit?
Or is it just the people's way of patching totally different things
to come up with a speculation?
Gee-Ann had spent a lot of time in the confession room talking
to big brother but of course, the livestream does not show it
because it's supposed to be "for primetime only". Could they
be talking about her voluntary exit or something else?
Gee-ann said that she feels that she's not doing her purpose in
the house and that makes her depressed considering that she
also had a lot of violations. She's also worried on how people
outside think of her especially her family. She never mentioned
that she is indeed voluntarily exiting the house so I guess we just
have to wait and see...
More updates : Wendy and Zeke at the housemates' open
forum
Zeke opened up the talk with an apology. Zeke said sorry to
any housemate who got offended with the rough attitude he
showed the other day. He said that he was just stressed out from
the "secret task" and that he never meant to offend anyone.
Wendy immediately followed Zeke with her side of the story.
Wendy told Zeke that she was not happy with hearing the
F-word from Zeke, and that there have been several occassion
when Zeke was too tactless. According to Wendy, she had tried
so hard to understand Zeke, but to no avail, she continues to get
offended with Zeke's words.
It was an emotional exchange of words between Zeke and
Wendy in front of the other housemates. When Zeke realized
that the talk was going nowhere and it was pointless to argue,
Zeke approached Wendy and gave her a hug of peace. At this
point, Wendy burst into tears as Zeke placed his arms around
her.

The Bench pictorials featured on this release are Sam Milby,
Piolo Pascual, Angelica Panganiban, Rafael Rosell and
Zanjoe Marudo. There's actually a lot more to come but i guess
bench decided to release it little by little.

Obviously, the theme is for summer. I can't wait for the other
Kapamilya Stars to be featured. I'm pretty sure Kim and
Gerald will have theirs too. Penshoppe is also brewing their
own summer clothing line and i've seen a couple of their
pictorials too and it was nice. I'll be posting them as soon as they
release the said pictures.

PBB2 Brewing Loveteam : Robert and
Wendy
It looks like there's a new loveteam brewing inside the Pinoy
Big Brother house. In a truth or dare game of the PBB2
Housemates, Robert was asked who among the female
housemates would he "pursue" if given the chance to do so ,
his answer was wendy. Likewise, Wendy also said that looks
and personality-wise, she'd go for Robert. And there goes the
ear-biting dare....

Looks like the "trial and error" for the loveteams have started
early. I've been reading some feedbacks about their tandem,
some liked the idea, some did not. Will they have the
chemistry of a PBB Loveteam? If the pairing gets a good
feedback, I'm sure that it's gonna have a lot of TV airtime. If it
doesn't, they'd focus on the next pair. I think that's how big
bro's loveteam formula works so I guess we'll just have to wait
and see...
I wonder how people will call them if the pairing succeeds...
RONDY? or WENDERT? hehe

Up On Us, Cathy Garcia-Molina for You Are The One, and
Cesar Montano for Ligalig.
Nominado ang mainstream movie naman ni Direk Dante na
Kaleldo. Samantala, ang isa pang bida ni Direk Dante sa
Donsol na si Sid Lucero ang sinasabing isa sa mga mahihigpit
na makakalaban ni Sam Milby as new movie actor of the

Magaling si Sam sa You Are The One pero di rin matatawaran
ang ipinakitang akting ni Sid for Donsol.
Pero siyempre, andiyan pa rin ang iba pang nominees para sa
exciting category na ito na mga sikat naman po talagang lahat

Jake Cuenca, Kuntento sa ABS-CBN
Nanlaki bigla ang mga mata ni Jake Cuenca nang uriratin siya
ng movie scribe tungkol sa isang TV gay executive na diumano'y
tumutulong sa aktor para magkaroon ng sunudsunod na project
sa ABS-CBN. Mula kasi nu'ng lumipat siya from GMA
Network to ABS-CBN, tila hindi raw ito nawawalan ng
proyekto sa bagong network.
38 of 45 3/24/2007 2:59 PM

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
"Wala kaya, no?" paglilinaw ni Jake. Dumating si Jake sa
Nominees Night ng 4th Golden Screen Awards sa Zirkoh
Greenhills last March 6. "May ganu'n bang issue? Naku, wala
akong alam du'n. As in, hindi ko alam na may ganu'ng issue sa
akin. Eh, sana hindi na ako nagpapakahirap magtrabaho."
Tigas din ng tanggi ni Jake sa isyung may itinatago siyang anak.
Aniya, wala siyang itinatagong anak sa pagkabinata. "Nakatatawa
naman yung issue," sabi ng actor. "Lalong walang katotohanan
ang balitang yon. Wala pa akong anak. Sure na sure ako sa bagay
na yan. O, baka naman kasi dahil nakikita nilang may bata sa
tinitirhan ko. Yung pamangkin ko from the US, nababakasyon
dito at yung three year old sister ko na si Bea is also here. Baka
sila yung natsitsimis sa akin. Pero hindi ko sila mga anak," sambit
ni Jake.
Sa ngayon, kuntento na rin daw naman si Jake sa takbo ng
career niya sa ABS-CBN. Hindi naman daw siya nawawalan ng
proyekto. Nagtataka lang siya dahil maraming girls ang nalilink sa
kanya, kasama na si Angelica Panganiban. Pero, ani Jake, wala
pa raw siyang girlfriend dahil nakatutok ang atensyon niya sa
trabaho.
Kasama si Jake sa primetime soap na Sana Maulit Muli ng
ABS-CBN.

PDA Top 6 US TOUR
39 of 45 3/24/2007 2:59 PM

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
Mas sikat at mas maraming shows all over the country at may
upcoming US tour ang Top 6 ng Pinoy Dream Academy na
sina Yeng Constantino, Jay-R Siaboc, Jr, Ronnie Liang,
Panky Trinidad, Irish Fullerton at Chad Peralta, pero mas
mauunahan pa sila ng Philippine Idol Final 12 na mag-concert
sa Araneta Coliseum this coming March 23, 2007.
Samantalang matagal nang pangarap ng Top 6 na mag-show sila
sa nasabing venue after nilang manalo sa PDA. "Wala kasi silang
offer sa Araneta, puro out of the country, anong magagawa
namin?" say ng taga-PDA. Mas maganda naman daw siguro
kung lilibutin muna nila ang buong Pilipinas except Metro
Manila at mundo para makilala sila ng husto at last leg na lang
ang Big Dome.
Pero si Panky ay iba naman ang katwiran, "Siyempre po, every
singer's dream ay makapag-concert sa Araneta kasi for me po, ito
ang gauge para sa isang singer kung sikat na siya kapag
nakatuntong siya sa Araneta, pero dapat po, maraming manood,
e, kung iilan lang, wag na lang kasi lugi ang producer at mukha
ka namang tangang nagpi-perform doon na walang gaanong
taong nanonood sayo."
Tulad ng experience nila sa Japan dahil ang venue pala ng
pinag-show-an nila sa Shinjuku Bunka Center, Shinjuku,
Tokyo ay sila na ang last performers dahil gigibain na raw ang
nasabing venue dahil luma na ang building. "Suwerte po namin,"
saad sa amin.
Samantala, by April 7 ay tutulak naman ang Top 6 sa US para sa
7 shows doon na handog din ng TFC at April 25 na ang balik
nila ng bansa.

Aiai will not be hosting The Buzz
Kumpirmadong hindi na jo-join si Aiai delas Alas bilang isa sa
papalit kay Kris Aquino sa The Buzz. Tsika sa amin ng insider,
"Kinausap na si Boy Abunda ng taga-The Buzz at pormal nang
inalok na isa si Aiai sa co-host nila ni Cristy Fermin pero hindi
tinanggap ni Boy dahil hindi yata niya nagustuhan ang
negosasyon.
"Una, hindi nga natupad yung request ni Kris na ang friendship
niya ang hahalili sa kanya sa The Buzz dahil binali na mismo ng
bossing daw ng programa na dapat every week, iba-ibang
co-hosts dahil cost-cutting daw.
"Pangalawa, hindi yata ma ganda ang offer na talent fee kay
Aiai, parang naging honorarium ang dating, masyadong minaliit
ang kakayahan ng friendship ni Tetay. "Kaya pahulaan na naman
next week kung sino ang isasalang after ni Ruffa (Gutierrez)
ngayong hapon."
Tiyak na puputaktihin ng reporters si Aiai kung may say ba siya
sa pagtanggi ng manager niya sa The Buzz at kung totoong
na-offend siyang isa lang siya sa hahalili sa kaibigan niyang si
Kris para sa nasabing programa sa press launch ng Cute Ang
Ina Mo na naka-schedule this week

PBB2 Secret Housemates and Secret
Places
41 of 45 3/24/2007 2:59 PM

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
A new twist has happened in day 13 of Pinoy Big Brother as
not only did Big Brother clandestinely welcomed 4 secret
housemates but he also revealed secret places inside the Big
Brother House. With their eyes covered, the four secret
housemates were ushered inside Big Brother's sandy, secret
garden by hosts Bianca Gonzales, Mariel Rodriguez and
Jason Gainza.
One of the 4 housemates who will stay inside the secret garden
is Jeremy Hidano. Despite growing up in Japan and being
raised by a Japanese step-father, this 20-year-old is proud to say
that he is 100 percent Filipino. Another secret housemate who
grew up far from the Philippines was Maricris Dizon. Growing
up in Italy, Maricris recalled that she did not experience any
discrimination and she had a harmonious life living abroad.
The third person to enter the secret garden was 'kikay' girl
Mikah Dizon. If some people think that she is lucky because of
her endowments, this 20-year-old student from Baguio thinks
otherwise. Last to enter the secret garden was self-confessed
PBB fan Bodie Cruz. Son of veteran actor, Tirso Cruz III,
Bodie admitted that he had never been with strangers and
joining PBB was the biggest risk he has ever taken.
The four secret housemates were left inside the garden
without their basic needs. While the 4 secret housemates made
their way inside the secret garden, Big Brother called housemates
Zeke and Dionne inside the confession room and he gave to
them his next instruction, to furtively provide the secret
housemates with their necessities.

Big Brother added that they should not tell anyone about the
secret housemates because it would mean an automatic
nomination for eviction for them. However, Big Brother
assured the two housemates that if they are successful with their
task, both of them will have immunity from the first
nomination.

Hiwalayang Kris aquino at James Yap?
How true na one of these days, magpapatawag ng press
conference si Kris Aquino para ihayag ang opisyal na
paghihiwalay nila ng asawang si James Yap?
Ito ang napag-alaman ng People's Tonight mula sa isang
43 of 45 3/24/2007 2:59 PM

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
mapagkakatiwalaaang source. Kung kailan magpapa-presscon,
yan ang hindi pa masagot ng aming kausap. Puwedeng sa lalong
madaling panahon or puwedeng pagkapanganak na, pero
kinumpirma niyang officially ay hiwalay na raw sina James at
Kris nito lamang Huwebes. Dagdag pa ng aming source,
talagang desidido si Kris na makipaghiwalay ang in fact,
pabibinyagan daw nito ang baby nang wala si James.
Medyo naguguluhan lang kami sa petsa ng paghihiwalay nina
Kris at James dahil may nakausap naman kaming isang malapit
kay James na nagsabing pagkatapos sunduin ng basketbolista ang
asawa sa hospital, hindi na raw nagsama ang dalawa sa iisang
bubong at usap-usapang nakitulog na lang ito sa teammate nang
gabing iyon.
Say pa ng aming source, the couple has yet to talk pa kung paano
ang arrangement sa anak na si Baby James and hopefully,
maging maayos daw sana ang maging usapan.
Samantala, as we all know ay hindi nakapasok si James sa RP
Team at sabi ng aming source, imposible rin naman daw na
makapaglaro nang maayos ang basketbolista dahil sa problemang
kinakaharap.

Jasmin Engracia ng PBB2,
MAHADERA?
Hindi nagustuhan ng ilang Pinoy Big Brother Season 2
housemates ang diskarte ng kanilang bagong kasama na si
Jasmin Engracia (10th housemate), 22-year-old nursing
student sa Mindanao Medical Foundation College sa Davao City.
Former Miss Zamboanga beauty pageant winner dahil unang
araw pa lamang nito sa bahay ni Kuya ay nakakitaan kaagad ito
ng ibang ugali.
Habang ginagawa ng mga housemates ang kanilang second
44 of 45 3/24/2007 2:59 PM

[m]channel (markzchannel) - Pinoy Entertainment Blog http://markzchannel.blogspot.com/
weekly task na "Big Brother home service" ay
kapansin-pansin ang hindi pagsang-ayon ni Jasmin sa suggestions
ng kankyang fellow housemates tungkol sa kanilang pagluluto.
Napagod ang ilang housemates sa pakikipagtalo kay Jasmin
kaya naupo na lamang ang mga ito at pinabayaang mag
take-charge ang "diskarte queen" sa pagluluto ng kare-kare.
"We have to work as a team," paalala ni Mickey sa bagong
pasok na housemate pero dedma pa rin si Jasmin hanggang sa
namuo ang sauce ng kare-kare at lumabas ang mantika dito.
Nang makita nila Robert at Wendy ang nangyari sa kanilang
niluluto, to the rescue kaagad ang dalawa kaya’t naagapan nila
ang kawawang kare-kare. Nang maging maayos na ang lahat,
muli na na mang kinuha ni Jasmin ang sandok sa kamay ni
Robert at nag-take charge sa kusina.
Pagkatapos magluto ng mga housemates, napansin ni Big
Brother na tahimik si Wendy sa isang sulok kaya pinatawag niya
ito sa confession room. Tinanong ni Kuya si Wendy kung ano
ang problema nito at lumabas na nga ang inis ni Ms. Navotas sa
baagong housemate, "Si Jasmin, naloloka ako sa kanya...
bago pa siya kaya dapat siya ang mag-adjust...mahadera
siya!"

March Monday Night Madness
Posted on March 19th, 2007 by photojunkie.
Categories: Blog.
So the powerbook stopped
booting on Sunday morning. It’s being looked at this week, but it means I’m without a computer for at least a
week. Perhaps it’s time to look into an iMac.
This evening I got myself a pair of Nike runners. When did running shoes start to look so futuristic. So I
figured I’d start using the treadmill and bike in the exercise room downstairs in my apt. So apparently with a
purchase of shoes you get a free box of gingersnap cookies. WTF?
So I’m finally catching up on some ironing while watching Season One of Laguna Beach. How’s that for
multitasking.

Drawn : Best Canadian Blog
Posted on March 12th, 2007 by photojunkie.
Categories: Blog on Blogs.
Congrats to John Martz and his crew at Drawn. They beat out photojunkie.ca as Best Canadian Weblog this
year. Very well deserved John.
The picture above was from last year, when I won and he lost (although in a different category).
UPDATE: Apparently, I’ve been inducted into the Bloggies Hall of Fame of sorts. Starting next year, you
will only be allowed to win in any given category, a maximum of 3 times. This means photojunkie will never
be in the running for Best Canadian weblog ever again. I have won in 2003, 2005 and 2006.

Motorola KRZR : Sugar Sweet
Posted on March 12th, 2007 by photojunkie.
Categories: YouTube.
The folks over at Hill and Knowlton provided me with a Motorola KRZR K1m to try out and review a couple
of weeks ago. It’s pretty damn sexy, but I do have a lists of beefs as well, which I will get to in a future
review.
It didn’t occur to me that the commercial above was for the same phone that I had recieved, until I saw the
commercial again this past weekend. I think subconsciously I knew it was a cellular phone ad, but what really
caught me originally was the visual effects and the catchy tune, which I discovered is Sugar Sweet by The
Icicles. An indie band from Grand Rapids Michigan, who will be releasing a new album this coming spring.
Check out the band, more about the phone soon enough.

GTABloggers: I’m Picking up the Ball
Posted on March 6th, 2007 by photojunkie.
Categories: Blog, Toronto, Get Togethers, GTABloggers.
So over the last year and a half, I’ve gotten busy and kinda let gtablogers.com die a slow death. I dropped the
ball and let things slide way way down. Well it’s not quite dead yet, and we are looking at rebuilding it in the
next couple of months, bigger and even better than before. Aside, from being able to surf through an
extensive blogroll of Toronto blogs, the GTABlogger community provided two things, which I’m officially
bring back a) Regular Social Get Togethers and b) and Active Mailing List.
I know this is short notice for most, but quite a few of you have known about this for awhile now. We are
having a Pub Night at the Duke of York TONIGHT.
GTABloggers Pub Night - March 2007
Tuesday, March 6, 2007
6:00pm - 11pm
Duke of York
39 Prince Arthur Ave.
Toronto, ON
Reservation is under GTAbloggers.
The second announcement is the opening of the GTABloggers google group.
http://groups.google.com/group/gtabloggers
The old list used to be a great resource to ask about various things about the city, ie recommendations for
places to eat, buy things etc. I hope the Google group will grow to be something similiar to the old mailing
list.

AutoShare : Self Serve Plowing Services
Posted on March 6th, 2007 by photojunkie.
Categories: Photos, Canon 20D.
It was amusing to find these Mini Plows set up right beside the AutoShare sign at Dundas West and Bloor.
With all the snow we have been getting lately, Self Serve Plowing sounds like the perfect idea.

I went to a Viz Think presentation and all I got were these Post it Notes
Posted on March 6th, 2007 by photojunkie.
Categories: Blog, Geek.
So last Tuesday, I went to a Visual Thinking session, held by Ryan Coleman. I was intrigued by the idea, and
it seemed like it was something I could do, as a non-programmer. Especially since I considered myself a
visual person.
So Visual Thinking, it’s not quite as simple as it sounds, but it’s not difficult either. If you break it down to
the basics, you have various Nodes that build into a Model. Now you just need to break down any problem
solving needs that you have into these elements. Still confused? In order to understand anything, and I truely
mean anything. You need to break things down into smaller pieces. Once you understand the relationship
between those smaller pieces, then you rebuild it to your needs.
Yes I know, you are still confused. Go read this post by Ryan over at the MaRS Blog about Visual Thinking.
So after the session we went for food and drinks, armed with sharpies, index cards and post it notes. The
problem I set forth was, how do you build a photography portfolio site that is innovative and different from
your average portfolio site.
What I left with was 15 post it notes and an idea that brought me outside the traditional box.
I’m sure more than half of you are trying to figure out, what the hell is he going on about. Even now, a week
later, I’m still trying to digest what I learned. But if you want to walk away with the one moral of the story.
If you have a problem you want to solve, break it down visually into pieces and then create a model with it.
You can view my Viz Think set over at flickr.

Junction Lights
Posted on March 6th, 2007 by photojunkie.
Categories: Photos, Canon 20D, Lensbaby.
On Saturday, I was out shooting with some Canon Users from Torcamp. It’s been awhile since I’ve done any
sort of photowalking. After doing so much of it a few years back, it kind of gets old. But it’s actually quite
refreshing, when you have a new group of people to shoot with. It’s even cooler when you can swap and
trade lens through out the afternoon.
We decided to hit The Junction, which is an interesting part of the west end of town. Lot of cool little shops,
but also a lot of vacancy’s. Perhaps it’s the next neighbour to be in. Seeing all the empty store fronts was
actually quite inspiring. So many possibilities.

Today, is the beginning of the rest of my Life
Posted on February 28th, 2007 by photojunkie.
Categories: Blog, Photojunkie, Million.
When I started my site in the fall of 2000 I never thought it would encompass my life the way it has. I never
would have thought it would open so many doors and connect me with some many people both far and wide.
Now here I am in my 7th year and I’m still going at it. The URL has changed several times over and the
content has evolved from interest to interest, with the readership base changing in and out. But the concept
has remained the same. The concept of sharing myself, whether it be through my photos, experiences or just
casual hypertexting.
At some point today, I’m gonna hit the one million mark, which I’ve probably already hit over a year ago, if I
hadn’t switched counters awhile back. What does that mean? It means a lot of hours, a lot of viewers and
hopefully a lot more. Possibly an impact? The site has really impacted my life experiences over the years and
I hope I have made some sort of impact on you as well, regardless of size.
So what lays ahead? I don’t know if I can answer that question, because every year, I look back and realize
how many new and different experiences I have. Opportunities that have arisen from the unexpected.
Moments that can’t be predicted. Hopefully, you’ll tag along for the ride.
What I would like to say is Thank you for being a part of this adventure, Thank you for your support
and Thank you for your friendship.
PS: I’ll be announcing the rest of the giveaway winners on Friday, so check in to see if you won anything.

Blue Skies on a Winter Day

Usually blue skies are a sign of a warm day, but in the winter it’s usually quite the opposite, the blue and
sunny days tend to be the coldest.

In search of the perfect grilled squid
By Grace | Related entries in Lifestyle, Food and Transportation
Inihaw na pusit. Succulent, sweet and grilled to perfection.
Haay. I’ve craved this for the past seven years.. Not that I can’t find this in the US, but there’s something nostalgic
about eating grilled squid with soysauce and vinegar combo, hot rice, and served on a banana leaf.
Finally… Aaah.. *rubbing belly* Busog na.
At Samaral Restaurant in Calamba, day 3 of my vacation…

Comments are not spam
By Grace | Related entries in Uncategorized, Personal Experiences
The authors of Filipina Soul, that’s me and Maricar, deeply appreciate everyone who places their comments and
participates in the very active discussions on this blog. I learn a lot more about the posts I write whenever you add
your comments, and though I try to reply as much as I can, there are posts that have taken a life of their own and
became almost like forums, that really, the readers themselves take care of each other to reply back and forth. And I
love it like that! That’s exactly what good discussions are all about.
And thanks to Roxy, a regular reader and a Jumong
fan, I was alerted of comments that went missing from March 15-22. I was in the Philippines that week and I must
admit that I came back to over 2000 akismet spams that I just massed-deleted. So my deep apologies to anyone else
whose comments were lost. I recovered some from the Akismet spam folder this week but comments from last week
may have been gone forever.
Again, I am very sorry for this and will do my best to go through the spam folders more diligently so that none of
your valued comments will get lost. And if you do find that your comments didn’t get through, don’t hesitate to
email at gracei@b5media.com .

Trace Suites - Five star service in a small town
By Grace | Related entries in Lifestyle, Food and Transportation, Personal Experiences, Travel and Tourism
I never thought I’d find a five star hotel tucked in the hills of Los Banos.
The hotel was impeccable and the service was definitely better than even hotels I stayed at in the US. There was a
ready smile for us and always a courteous greeting. More than once when I asked the kitchen to heat our Chinese
take-out leftover food (bought outside where it was cheaper), it was heated and presented to me like I requested for a
room service - in nicer china and silverware and on a tray with linen napkins. Another time, when my hudband after
our rented van because he left a suit in it, the consierge immediately called the guard at the gate and instructed the
van to turn back. And when we were told the 24-hour security is on-duty round the clock, they weren’t joking. Our
vehicles were checked everytime it entered the compound, no matter what time it was.
Trace Suites in Los Banos.
It’s a two-year old hotel built in time for the ASEAN Games held in the Philippines. Los Banos hosted the
swimming event and the hotel became home to the athletes for the meet. There is an Olympic size pool and training
facility that still operates for the Philippine swim team. Also inside the guarded compound is a booming Trace
College that offers elementary to undergrad that has airconditioned classrooms and worldclass facilities.
So look for yourself - here is where I stayed.
In the foreground is the aquatic sports museum, with a huge olympic size pool, and complete with training rooms and
gyms. In the background is the famed Mount Maria Makiling. The photo below shows the school to the right of the
pool. The hotel is (off-camera) adjacent to the school.

Is this really Los Banos?
By Grace | Related entries in General: Philippine Culture, Places to Visit
Have you recently been to Los Banos, Laguna ?
Seven years is a long time to be away from the place I love. And of course I expected change. But nothing prepared
me for how nice that change was. Los Banos has now become a model place to live. Eveything is so clean and
orderly. There are no litter on the streets anywhere. It’s unlawful to throw trash or smoke inside the jeepneys, and by
law every public transport has to have a trashcan. They have a waste and recycling management that puts Baltimore
to shame. Los Banos residents use their biodegradable trash so well that the plants around town have benefitted from
the richer soil. The city is even now declared as a Science and Nature City, a testament to the marked improvement
as a well as the abundant nature sites and scientific learning centers. There is even a neat children’s park beside the
municipal hall.
The highway lanes are now marked with white and yellow strips and there are pedestrian lanes too, and surprise
surprise (!) people actually use them.

Traffic enforcers are serious about making people obey rules, so much so that a bullhorn will unbashedly describe
you out if they see you disobeying, “Hey, you! the woman with the blue umbrella that’s crossing the street! Here in
Los Banos, people obey traffic laws so how come you’ve the guts to jay-walk! Be ashamed of yourself!” (HOY!
ikaw! Yang babaeng naka-blue na payong na tumatawid ng kalsada! Dito po sa Los Banos, sumusunod ng traffic
laws ang tao, eh bakit ang lakas mong mag-jay walking! Mahiya ka naman!”) Double shame on you if the mayor
himself catches you disobeying the law. And he does, this mayor Perez. Everyone told me that he’s a frequent site at
the junction, directing traffic or using the bullhorn.
Everyone I talked to says it with pride, how Los Banos has improved with a better public servant in office and
innovative ways of running the town. It is a good place to live.

(”My Journey Home ” chronicles this balikbayan’s return after 7 long years.)
Well, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Flying with a toddler for 26 hours, I mean. I followed wise advice
and brought a a bag full of cookies, crackers, juices and various toys that kept her occupied. What made it all the
more pleasant was a small turn of blessing. My husband and I were given seats (window and aisle) that didn’t have
an occupant in the middle, so our daughter was able to have that extra space all to herself from Detroit to Nagoya,
Japan. YEY!
The layover in Japan was something else though. We deplaned for a crew change and plane clean up. But instead of
a holding area of passengers continuing to Manila, we were herded through a long line into another set of thorough
security checks. Why, I have no idea, since we have been checked at the US airport we came from.

Filipina Soul http://www.filipinasoul.com/
But, we were finally here at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), checking through immigrations. The
first thing I noticed were people who serviced us “with a smile”. We were greeted with “Good morning, Ma’am/Sir.”
There was quite a crowd at the baggage claims, as expected, but because several porters were sorting through the
bags and boxes, passengers actually got to their belongings rapidly. (added - and no, we didn’t have to pay anyone to
help with luuggage. I actually saw an airport personnel REFUSE money from a passenger who wanted some help
with his bags. hurray for improvements!)
At the annex were families waitied, there were designated areas alphabetically arranged by first letter of the
surnames. So we found the “GHI” and didn’t have to squint at the hundreds of waiting families to find our relatives.
The ride home through the coastal road was smooth and quick, as well. That road still in construction when I was
here last, and now it’s fully functional and the choice for commuters trying to by pass Manila’s traffic.
My, how the Philippines has changed!

Vacation days are over…
By Grace | Related entries in Personal Experiences
I’m back from the Philippines!
I took a two-week vacation to attend my brother’s wedding and it and it was too short of a break, I can tell you now.
My body’s still adjusting to the 12 hour time difference and I’m wide awake at 3 in the morning. I checked this blog
and I was floored! Two hours and two hundred comments later, I’m finally done moderating. And to those waiting
for replies, I do hope to get to you in the next few days. Right now I am so excited to just let you in on what I did
those two weeks in MY JOURNEY HOME, after being gone for more than seven years.

Fruits

Mangoes, sweet mangoes! They’re everywhere, and yes, I’m having my taste buds pampered with their delectable
sweetness.
I’ve also had guyabano (sour sop), small local bananas, green mangoes, star apple (which we had to search for).
I don’t know where I can get young coconut right off the tree, but that’s definitely something I don’t want to miss.
What fruit are you craving for now? Let me know, and I’ll eat some for you!

One Week
By Maricar | Related entries in Uncategorized
It’s been a week since we arrived. I feel as though it’s been much longer. So many things have happened. I’ve been
to a lot of places, seen many people. My brother is married (!). My kids have adjusted to the time zone, if not the
weather.
Last week, our schedule seemed so empty, but it’s become quite full since then. I’m not sure where the time goes
sometimes. There are still people to see, and I do hope I get to see them before we leave!
Time is ticking, and sooner than I’d like, we’ll be boarding a plane again. But that’s still some time off. I’m enjoying
being here.

Marikina
By Maricar | Related entries in Uncategorized, Personal Experiences
Marikina has been gaining reputation as a place that’s on the upward move. I saw this for myself. There are new
malls and condominiums. The streets are clean and newly-paved. Evidences of a city that’s gaining economic
grounds. I observed a positive attitude among the residents that speaks well of the local government.
One of the highlights of our visit was the butterfly house. Various kinds of butterflies, depending on the season, are
bred from eggs. Visitors can see larvae, pupae, and of course, adult butterflies flying around.

Chowking
By Maricar | Related entries in Uncategorized
Another must-visit food place for us is Chowking. Love the food there. Siopao is a must. We’ve ordered the
spareribs, pancit canton, sweet and sour pork, and chicken and rice. And still high on my list is their scrumptious
halo-halo, which I seem to see on billboards everywhere I go.
The food is slower to arrive than most fastfood joints, but that’s because it’s cooked to order. But it’s fast enough,
and definitely worth it.
I’m not much of a foodie when it comes to Filipino food, though I know there are many places with a much better
menu. But take me to Chowking and I’ll be happy.
Tomorrow, my best friend and I will have our chikahan. I think Chowking would be a great place. Stories traded
over bowls of halo-halo are something to look forward to.

These Google Adsense cheque thieves should be sent to jail
Posted March 20, 2007 Comments(6)
It's not the first time it happened and it definitely won't be the last.
Several scumbags in the Philippines are stealing someone else's Google Adsense cheque and encashing it using a fake
identity at times. Pray, tell me, how exactly can you do that? Beats me. But it only shows why PayPal has a reason not
to offer the full lineup of functions yet to PayPal Philippines accounts.
Let's look at how these cases of cheque theft are being done.

How to earn from Text-Link-Ads
Posted March 16, 2007 Comments(2)
A webmaster-friend of mine told me that exactly a week after he signed up in Text-Link-Ads, his account shows he has
already earned $15. I visited his site (PR4 with a fair amount of backlinks) and there they are, the three text link ads
worth $15. Not bad, considering all he did was submit his site to Text-Link-Ads and add the appropriate code. That's it.
Text-Link-Ads
(TLA) is a link advertising system that pays publishers for placing advertisers' links in their sites. TLA splits the final
sale price of any ads sold 50/50 with the site owner. Ads on a site are priced based on an algorithm that factors in the
traffic of a website, site theme, and link popularity.

23 March 2007 : Absolute veto

president has the power to veto legislation, including particular items in the budget. But that power isn’t absolute.

22 March 2007 : Generation gap
My column for today is Generation gap, and here are some links that are related. There’s a nice overview of our

population is headed in the government census website, and a commentary by Romulo Virola on how our
population is actually aging.

21 March 2007 : Don’t bother to think
An article in Slate today tackles how the United States tackled the Philippines and you can contrast this with an
article in The Objective Standard as to why the United States is bogged down in Iraq, with no successful end
game in sight…. And along the way, contradicts the very things that enabled the economic statistics in which she
takes pride: had people not been smoking as much, or sending it out zillions of text messages, her raising taxes
(not a reform, as she claims, but the logical question of her over-spending) would not have been able to
compensated for what came before. Her laying it on thick on Tony Lopez also belies her claim to not being
obsessed with politics, when as any president does, so does her cabinet: and what are Raul Gonzales (whose job is
the Justice Department) and Ricardo Saludo (whose job is to be Secretary to the Cabinet) doing but politicking?

20 March 2007 : Self-sabotage
That, and the timing: if, on its face, there is nothing wrong with a warrant, when and how that warrant is served
can become an instance of harassment, for example, when it’s served at a time that denies the accused a chance to
post bail.Anyway, I refer you to the blog of Gibbs Cadiz and the waiting of the paper’s staff for the warrant to be
served.In his column today, Alex Magno asserts that sample ballots can account for as much as 10% of the votes
of a candidate, and that this is the advantage offered by the political machinery that manages to distributes such
ballots…. You can look at how Social Weather Stations did its post mortem on the survey results (particularly the
exit polls) or dig around Philippine Commentary who studied the issue exhaustively.In other words, Magno may
be magnifying the power of the machine and downplaying in turn, the ability of surveys to generate a meaningful
snapshot of what voters will actually do. Anyway, here’s the latest on the survey on party list preferences.For
those interested in Danton Remoto’s senatorial candidacy, the Comelec it seems, is poised to make its final
decision known.GO said, TU said, scuttlebutt courtesy of the Manila Times.The blogosphere has its usual round
of meaty stuff: baratillo@cubao analyzes news reports on human rights violations.

19 March 2007 : Apples and oranges
The Inquirer editorial for today points to an ongoing debate where the police seem to be taking a more sensible

for today is Radical yet firmly legal. Please see my entry for today’s Inquirer Current for my view that the armed
forces is arguing apples while the rest of society is arguing oranges.

Nursing wages rise, shortage continues
Luck has no magical formula. It surely comes when readiness meets an opportunity. For the 17,000
Filipino board passers in the June 2006 nursing examination, job opportunities in and outside the
United States continue to beckon.
However, the question on the nursing board passers’ preparedness, which sprang from the
reportedly tainted test results, seems to suggest their luck won’t come any sooner.
The issue on the exam leak has snowballed, settling on a move for selective retake of the
examination based on the recommendation of the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing
Poll
Schools.
Opportunities Are you happy with your NLE Rating?
Yes! Very much!
The shortage of nurses that US healthcare industry needs to fill up hits hundreds of thousands. It was alright.
Quite disappointing.
Unacceptable!
John L. Moore, in his March 17 article on The Morning News, www.nwaonline.net, wrote that the
Vote
shortage continues despite rising wages of nurses.
Current results
Moore has quoted Steve Percival, director of human resources at Washington Regional Medical
You can only vote once.
System, saying [that he] and his counterparts at other hospitals have a tough job trying to keep
STARTED : January 30, 2007
their hospitals fully staffed with nurses. ENDS : Indefinitely
He said the health care industry has bemoaned the nursing shortage for more than a decade, and SEARCH
that more will be needed for additional patients as the Baby Boom generations age.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projected in 2005 more than 3.1 million registered nurse jobs
Search
would be available by 2014. That would add more than 700,000 new jobs for nurses, Moore said.
Web pinoybsn.blogspot.co
If other projections from the American Hospital Association hold true, the country could have a
shortfall of 600,000 nurses by 2020, said Mike Meeks, senior vice president for Northwest Health
System.
Paul Cunningham, senior vice president of the Arkansas Hospital Association, said that one of the
problems in getting a larger supply of nurses into the US health care system is the lack of qualified
nursing faculty for the nursing schools.
Cunningham said many faculty members of nursing programs are approaching 50 and beyond and
are thinking about retirement in the next five to eight years.
Nursing schools at both NorthWest Arkansas Community College and the University of Arkansas
have expanded their programs in recent years, but recruiting nursing faculty can be a challenge,
officials for both schools said.
Quoting other sources, Moore also cited another reason for shortage of nurses being the multiple
opportunities for work out side the hospital setting. Managed care organizations, insurance
companies, doctor's offices, nursing homes, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical companies and
medical software companies also hire nurses.
Citing a 2007 Minority Nurse magazine article, Moore said that the average salary of a registered
nurse in Oakland, Calif. alone is $80,270 per year, adding that the projected number of new jobs
added for registered nurses between 2004 and 2014 is 703,000.

RP is training ground for China's nurses-to-be ARCHIVES
What can be so extraordinary about a group of students studying “The Life and Works of Jose 2006-06-25
Rizal?" Well, for one, the classes are taught in Beijing, China. For another, the students are Chinese
2006-07-02
mainlanders who have no stake in Philippine affairs.
2006-07-09
“I don’t think we need to learn too much about these matters," says Zhang Chan, a 19-year-old girl
2006-07-16
from northeastern China. “But students have mainly lost interest because they can’t understand the
2006-07-23
lessons. Our English isn’t very good and the teacher speaks too fast."
2006-07-30
A twin sister younger by 27 minutes, Zhang Juan, realizes the value of learning about another
2006-08-06
country’s history and tradition but says that “talking about only one person’s life can get boring."
2006-08-13
The twins, however, are plodding on because they see education as the path to a secure future.
2006-08-20
The girls, along with about 50 others, are college freshmen at Beijing’s Yanjing Overseas
2006-08-27
University.
2006-09-03
They have come to the Chinese capital from various corners of the country – from the frigid north 2006-09-10
to the humid south, from the desert region to the coastal areas – in order to study nursing.
2006-09-17
2006-09-24
Training in RP
2006-10-01
After a year of Philippine curriculum-based classes in Beijing, they head off to Tuguegarao,
2006-10-08
Cagayan, for studies at St. Paul University, Yanjing’s partner school in the Philippines. There, they
will attend college for three more years until they finally obtain their nursing degrees. Then comes 2006-10-15
the real action: finding high paying jobs in the United States, Canada, England, Australia or maybe,
2006-10-22
even back home.
2006-10-29
The real picture is not as simple as that of a bunch of young men and women tantalized by the 2006-11-05
dollar and the euro.
2006-11-12
2006-11-19
In informal class surveys, the most frequently cited reason for wanting to become a nurse was the
desire to care for people in need of medical care. 2006-11-26
2006-12-03
An exceptionally expressive 18-year-old girl wrote: “When I was young, I already had a dream to
2006-12-10
be a nurse. At that time, I only felt that white clothes are very beautiful. But now I know the
society need(s) nurses to serve people and help patient to reduce their pains."
2006-12-17
2006-12-24
Some of the students cite particular goal: to return to their hometowns to serve.

The more pragmatic reasons, of course, came up. These included finding a secure job, earning a

A CALL FOR HELP, JUSTICE, UNDERSTANDING AND LOVE
OPEN LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ITS
GOVERNMENT, AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND
EMPLOYMENT, PROFESSIONAL REGULATION COMMISSION, THE PHILIPPINE
GOVERNMENT, PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, NURSING LEADERS AND JUNE PASSERS.
A CALL FOR HELP, JUSTICE, UNDERSTANDING AND LOVE
Have you tried give a child a candy or lollipop? I guess you did, but did you tried to take the
candy you had given to him. Will he/she be happy? Definitely that child will cry. That is what
happened to us, June 2006, Philippine Nursing Licensure Examination Passer. We were
given the title NURSE because we passed the exam and met the required standards. We
fought for our rights and we won over the highest court in the Philippines, the Supreme Court.
We struggled; we face the embarrassment even though we haven't done anything wrong. We
won over the court because we are proven ELIGIBLE and CAPABLE to work our Profession.
We are like hectares of ripe tomatoes and one of them is rotten, will you throw hectares of
tomatoes because one was rotten? So please don't talk as if everyone did the crime. If only
few people did this unlawful act then punish them but not everyone. I personally will volunteer
to retake if those people who made this crime are punished. DOLE, PRC and the
Government of the Philippines did not sue or put to case those people who neglected their
work such as those two Board of Nursing members during the June examinations. We want
them to pay for the wrongs that they did, they should be the one to be punished not
INNOCENT passers. The government should take action because this leakage issue is solely
because of neglect of duty as a servant of our nation. Corruption is one of the reasons why
this thing happened.
This won’t be an issue as a matter of fact because the issue has been cleared and we won
the decision of the court. The decision of the court indicates that we have the knowledge,
skill, experience and eligibility. The following phrases were quoted in one of the email replies
of ANA, these will be answered one by one.
First: "ANA considers this to be a matter of public health and safety. Absolute
integrity of the professional licensure and exam process must be strictly maintained
for purposes of public safety and confidence."
We are happy that ANA stands by a philosophy of maintaining good integrity on professional
licensure and exam, because this is necessary to protect the public health of a country. What
ANA did not understand or take into consideration that the issue on public health was
addressed during court proceeding and that the courts decision is that the June board passers
are eligible, capable, has enough knowledge and skills to work as a nurse.
Second: "ANA recognizes that these nurses are duly licensed and able to practice
within the Philippines. Our interests lie with those who wish to come to the United
States to practice nursing."
Therefore if ANA recognize that we are duly licensed and able to practice within the Philippines
then it’s clearly saying that we have the knowledge and what's necessary to become a
Registered Nurse. Therefore no public safety was questioned because you didn't question our
eligibility as nurses. You are saying that your only concern is the public safety of your people,
and Philippine government does not care about public safety of its people at all? Before a
nurse Filipino nurse can work as a registered nurse in your country they are obliged to take
US exams which are CGFNS and NCLEX. The PNLEX (Philippine Nursing Licensure Examination)
solely made to test the capacity of our local nurses to work locally. Your exam is different
with our exam here. And you have two exams to test the capability of Filipino nurses. Then
there's nothing to worry unless if you doubt your own exams.
Third: "ANA understands that investigations into this matter have found that Tests #3
and #5 were substantially compromised. However, there was nothing that was made

Reply to QueenB's email from ANA
Guys eto yung sagot ng ANA sa email ko, sa tanong na retake all ba o partial lang ang gusto nila??
QueenB ito
---------------------
Thank you for contacting the American Nurses Association (ANA) about its recent
announcement on the compromised June 2006 Philippine Nurse Exam. As noted in our letter to
the Philippine Regulation Commission, ANA considers this to be a matter of public health and
safety. Absolute integrity of the professional licensure and exam process must be strictly
maintained for purposes of public safety and confidence. ANA also noted in the letter that it is
clear that the United States has benefited from the many excellent Philippine nurses who have
come here to practice.
ANA recognizes that these nurses are duly licensed and able to practice within the Philippines.
Our interests lie with those who wish to come to the United States to practice nursing.
ANA understands that investigations into this matter have found that Tests #3 and #5 were
substantially compromised. However, there was nothing that was made public that indicates
that these were the only two tests of the exam that were compromised – only that these
were the most compromised. It is for this reason that the ANA Board of Directors
recommended that the entire exam be retaken. ANA is aware that the Commission on
Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) has agreed that retaking Tests #3 and #5 is
sufficient to meet their requirements for a VisaScreen Certificate.
Each organization’s position stems from a different perspective. CGFNS is a regulatory
authority. ANA’s position stems from our role as the professional association and the custodian
of the U.S. Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. Provision 3.4 states that:
Nursing is responsible and accountable for assuring that only those individuals who have
demonstrated the knowledge, skill, practice experiences, commitment, and integrity essential to
professional practice are allowed to enter into and continue to practice within the profession.
Given The Code, ANA’s perspective is that when entrusted with caring for the public, there can
be no doubt as to the qualifications of the nurse. ANA recognizes the CGFNS’ position that
successful retake of Tests #3 and #5 is an acceptable remedy to meet the needs of a
VisaScreen Certificate.
Again, thank you for contacting the ANA. Please do not hesitate to contact Cheryl Peterson,
cheryl.peterson@ana.org, should you have any further questions.
Best regards,
Mary McNamara
Senior Public Relations Specialist
American Nurses Association

Muralla St. cor. Gen. Luna St., Intramuros
1002 Manila
Philippines
Dear Secretary Brion:
Greetings.
Foremost, let me thank you, on behalf of the other June 2006 PNLE passers whom I represent, for
the untiring efforts you have done in assuring us a hold on our local licenses. Your efforts, as well
as with the other government representatives, prove that we are not alone in this battle.
The recent release of Executive Order No. 609 signed on March 12, 2007 is proof that ours is no
longer individual problems but already a national issue. However, some points in the conduct of the
retake need clarifications.
While it is true that we have the option to either retake TESTS III and V or the whole exam, we
believe that there are flaws in the mechanics of the retake, to wit;
1. On December 2006, 1,687 examinees were ordered by the Court of Appeals to retake TESTS III
and V. To begin with, these 1,687 examinees are those who truly FAILED the board exam, but were
given the chance to retake since they were erroneously declared as passers;
2. Passing the Nursing Licensure Exam requires that an examinee obtain an AVERAGE rating of
75%. Article IV, Section 15 of RA 9173 also known as Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 reads:
In order to pass the examination, an examinee must obtain a general average of at least
seventy-five percent (75%) with a rating of not below sixty percent (60%) in any subject. An
examinee who obtains an average ratings of seventy-five (75%) or higher but gets a rating below
sixty percent (60%) in any subject must take the examination again but only in the subjects where
he/she is rated below sixty percent (60%). In order to pass the succeeding examination, an
examinee must obtain a rating of at least seventy-five percent (75%) in the subject or subjects
repeated.
3. That we, the June 2006 passers, satisfactorily met the passing requirements stipulated in Article
IV Section 15 of the Philippine Nursing Act.
4. The CGFNS, in its recommendations to the Philippine Regulatory Bodies, wants the June 2006
passers to retake TESTS III and V, and obtain a passing rating in both.
5. That by requiring us to obtain a 75% in the two tests and not averaging it with our earlier test
ratings, the government drafted an executive order that proves harmful than beneficial to us.

Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing (ADPCN) on Saturday agreed to provide free one-week
special review sessions to any of the 17,000 June 2006 nursing board passers who would choose to
take tests 3 and 5.
The partial retake was suggested by the United States’ Commission on Graduates of Foreign

Manila, Philippines (AHN) - The Philippines moved closer to avoiding another problem with licensure

ANA's Statement on the June 2006 PNLE
AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION URGES NEW TESTS FOR PHILIPPINE NURSES SEEKING
TO PRACTICE IN THE U.S.
EARLIER EXAMS COMPROMISED, QUESTIONS LEARNED PRIOR TO TESTING
SILVER SPRING, MD – The American Nurses Association (ANA) is urging the Philippine government
to facilitate a retake of the nurse licensure exam without penalty for the nurses who passed the
June 2006 examination. Following investigations by both the Commission on Graduates of Foreign
Nursing Schools (CGFNS) and the Philippine government, it was discovered at least 110 questions
(22 percent) of the 500 question exam were known by large numbers of examinees and
test-preparation operators at least two days prior to commencement of the examination.
“It is clear that the exam was significantly compromised. In the interest of public health and safety,
ANA believes that every effort must be made to protect the integrity of the professional exam and
licensure process in order to uphold the public trust and confidence,” commented President
Rebecca M. Patton, MSN, RN, CNOR.
ANA has resolved that all passing applicants of the June 2006 Philippine nurse licensure exam
wishing to be considered for entrance into the United States to practice nursing should be required
to retake a new and different nurse licensure test and obtain a passing score. ANA recognizes the
June 2006 applicants who passed the examination are lawfully licensed to practice nursing in the
Philippines. However, U.S. law requires that all non-U.S. licensed registered nurses applicants be
reviewed to determine if the foreign educated nurse’s education, training license and experience is
comparable to that of a registered nurse in the United States. Given the extent to which the June
2006 exam was compromised, there are significant questions as to whether the exam can be
considered a reliable test of nursing knowledge.
Foreign educated nurses are required to be prescreened and certified as part of the temporary or
permanent occupational visa application process, as detailed in the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. ANA was one of the strongest proponents of the
pre-screening provisions of that legislation as part of the association’s commitment to maintaining
the highest professional standards, and ensuring a prescreening process that works to protect the
public safety.
###
The ANA is the only full-service professional organization representing the interests of the nation's
2.9 million registered nurses through its 54 constituent member nurses associations. The ANA
advances the nursing profession
by fostering high standards of nursing practice, promoting the rights of nurses in the workplace,
projecting a positive and realistic view of nursing, and by lobbying the Congress and regulatory
agencies on health care issues affecting nurses and the public.

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
March 19th, 2007
Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars is finally released
worldwide come March 28, 2007.
The demo has been out since February, but given the mammoth Gig size, I'd rather go wait for the actual
release.
Its last game of the same series was 2001, CnC Yuri's Revenge, and the creative team behind this literally
shaked and baked!
In 1998, Westwood was acquired by Electronic Arts
(EA). In response to what was perceived as an unwillingness to maintain the Westwood brand and
independence from EA, many long-time employees quit over the next few years.

Wanted: A good read
March 12th, 2007
I think I am running out of mystery novels to read. All the new releases seem to be formatted to fit the s
formula. Or most authors have their usual style/tricks that it gets boring halfway through the novel. I've rea
most of the books authored by James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Sandra Brown, Brad Meltzer, David
Baldacci, John Grisham, Michael Connelly, and of course Dan Brown. My all-time favorite remains to be
Follett. I don't like Robert Ludlum coz he gets too technical, I prefer to watch the movies made from his
instead. So, what's left out there? Any good reads left?

FinanceManila, the 9 years that were and will be
March 10th, 2007
5 of 6 3/24/2007 3:05 PM

Finance Manila http://www.financemanila.net/
It's our 9th Anniversary! When I created this site back in 1998, it wasn't even a forum nor was it a formaliz
blog. But it was indeed, a blog –in the sense that the word blog was taken from weB-LOG, wherein one input
his ideas in the web thru typed text and presented images. But the term Blog was not coined yet back then.
Nine years ago, I was just hitching a ride with free webhosts, and my site was really amateur. It just began as
an offshoot to my curiousity about computers that I started making a webpage for my nephew(s) about Voltes
V, which was making a comeback then. (And besides, I had the time since I was newly single!) This
mushroomed into webpages about Mazinger Z, MP3s, 80s Songs, and even "chicken soup for the soul" type
pages (this and my 80s songs and lyrics, and MP3 pages were taken down due to rising popularity which
resulted in some publisher(s) complaining).

Wedding Gowns
Everytime I go to a mall, there is always an exhibition of wedding gowns. At the SM Mall of Asia lobby,
Edward Teng Couturier showed off a sample of their bridal gowns. They also offer other servics other
than bridal and debutant gown They can also make cocktail and evening dress, baromg suit, tuxedo,
uniform, costumes. The bridal gowns can be quite expensive. I think the cheapest is 40,000 pesos
(roughly $800). But most brides are willing to spend for this once in a lifetime event.

Seaweed Accent Furniture
This accent chair is made from seaweed . It looks really attractive. The chair is made sturdy by wires
where the seaweed is woven on it. Lying down on the chair, one is really surprised to see how
comfortable it is. The price is 14,000.00 pesos which can be bought at Artemis (just across Federal
Hardware), Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati City beside the Mazda building. I learned that Artemis
regulary has unique displays from Furniture Exporters.

Asian Hair Styles

Shopping Finds http://nimrodel.net/
My daughter just had to have a funky Asian hair style. And who could do it better but this Korean hair
salon in Pasig City called Hair News ? The owner/hair stylist is a Korean of course. She has 16 years
experience in Korean hair styling. M was given a catalog of various hair styles to choose from. Noting her
frame and hair texture, M chose a style that would definitely suit her. While waiting, the staff served us
coffee. What great customer service.
M is quite pleased with the result. It is worth the 450 pesos.

Old Furniture at Evangelista St. Makati City

Shopping Finds http://nimrodel.net/
Garage Sale is always fun. You never know when you can find some useful item. There’s a place along
the side streets of Evangelista St. in Makati City that have rows of houses selling garage sale items. My
family and I scooted over there to check out old furniture we could use for our new home. Checking out
the simple consoles the price ranged from 4000 pesos to 6000 pesos. A chest costs around 3,500 pesos.
They are definitely cheaper than the regular furniture shops.

Living Room Furniture at Federal Hardware
Moving to our new home involves shopping for new furniture. So starting today, I am going to post a few
of my “window-shopping finds”. Over at Federal Hardware in Pasong Tamo extension, Makati, Federal
Hardware offers a wide range of furniture, hardware and other home improvement needs. The place is
not for us. I find the prices of the living room furniture quite pricey for my taste. The only cheap furniture I
saw were shoe cabinets but that’s another story.

Lucky Jade Pig Charms for the Year of the Fire

Shopping Finds http://nimrodel.net/
Pig
All the malls are now showcasing Year of the Pig Charms. Tomorrow is Lunar Chinese New Year.
February 18th 2007 thru February 6th 2008 is the Year of the FIRE PIG. I like this particular Jade Pig
Charm as it’s a laughing pig on display at the Walter Mart Makati. The price tag for this lovely jade pig is
$100.00
This other Jade pig charm costs slightly less at $50.00 . Real Jade is expensive of course.
What is so great about the “pig”
Grandmaster Professor Lin-Yun Rinpoche teaches us that of all the animals of the Chinese
zodiac, the pig is the most blessed. The horse draws a cart, the ox plows the fields, the goat
provides milk, the rooster lets you know when morning has come, and the dog stands guard at
night, but the pig is obligated to do nothing at all except sleep, eat and sleep some more. The
pig is happy go lucky, easy going, and eager to avoid conflict.
Since the pig’s natural element is water, the year of the fire pig is when fire meets water. The
elements of fire and water are at odds with each other and do not coexist in a peaceful
manner. For those born in the year of the Pig, it is Tia Sway year. They will be in the hot seat.
People born in the year of the Monkey are at odds with the year, and those born in the year of
the Snake are in direct opposition to the year and should take special care.

March 24th, 2007 by jhay · No Comments with 18 Views
Life is full of struggles; evolution, human history and civilization have been shaped by one element, struggle. We
live and stand today, as a testament to those who have gone before us, who struggled before us. In turn we too are
engaged in struggle, in all forms and in all fields we are still at it. In this installment of The Road to the Philippine
Blog Awards: Finalists’ Spotlight; we feature a blog that has been both witness and herald for one blogger’s own
struggle. It is also for this reason that this particular blog has been selected as one of the Finalists in the Personal
Blog category of the Philippine Blog Awards.

March 23rd, 2007 by jhay · 3 Comments with 90 Views
This is the fourth installment of The Road to the Philippine Blog Awards: Finalists’ Spotlight, an ongoing blog
series here on The Four-eyed Journal wherein we try to get behind the scenes of the upcoming Philippine Blog
Awards
by having the Finalists share their thoughts on the awards and being one of the top contenders by answering ten
questions that are simple, while some are provocative.
We already had Bikoy.net, Lastleaf.org and Misteryosa.com take the spotlight all of them being finalists in the
Personal blog category. In this chapter, we put on the spotlight a Finalist from the Technology blog category.
Representing the Mac enthusiasts in the Philippines, PinoyMacLovers.

Good day everyone! Welcome to the third installment of The Road to the Philippine Blog Awards: Finalists’
Spotlight
a blogging series which features the finalists in every category as they share their thoughts and *ehem* snippets of
their winning speeches.
We’re still in the Personal Category and this time around, Shari Cruz of Misteryosa.com steps up to plate and
gives us her two cents’ worth about being finalist in the Personal category of The Philippine Blog Awards.

up quite a considerable traffic and readership. It features the thoughts, articles, poems and short stories that Mae

Heatstroke: Preventions and solutions
March 19th, 2007 by jhay · 2 Comments with 99 Views
It’s summer time and already we can all feel the blazing heat of the sun bearing down upon us all here in the
Philippines and in the other countries of the same season during this time of the year. Just saw news report in
GMA 7’s “Saksi” that temperatures in Metro Manila have hit the 37 C mark which is equivalent to the normal
human body temperature. I’ve even heard that this would just be the beginning and expect temperatures to rise
higher in the coming summer days.
This increases certain health risks particularly heat stroke or hyperthermia (hyperpyrexia).
It is an acute condition which occurs when the body produces or ab sorbs more heat than it can …

John Chow dot Com: an essential read for bloggers
March 19th, 2007 by jhay · 5 Comments with 169 Views
This blog is about to reach it’s one-year-anniversary mark in two months’ time. Already it has improved so much
and the journey has been all worth it. A reader once asked me via e-mail, “What’s my secret?” Now I know that
I’m no problogger, I don’t have fat AdSense cheques that comes to my mailbox every month, I’ve never even
made it to Digg or del.ico.us’ front page before, but little by little, my efforts at improving this blog are being
slowly rewarded.
Going back to the question I was asked, among my secrets, well it’s not exactly a secret since there are a thousand
more bloggers who do this is to read the blogs of the A-list bloggers, …

Taebo was part of my Sunday morning when I was still in the

workout. It does work out your every muscle. Try this Taebo video at

Six in 10 students in Philippines unfit for
university
As a professor in a big university in Cebu, I can attest to the fact that
majority of the students are not yet fit for college. This is seen in the
results of basic Math exams, Trigonometry and Algebra, which I give
at the start of every semester. Most of the students do not know how
to operate with grouping symbols and they fail in the basic
polynomial factoring. It isn't a surprise for me to read this report that
more than half of the 1.3 million students in public and private high
schools in the Philippines are unfit for college.

Steps to do if you spill liquid on your laptop
For me, to disassemble a laptop is easy. To
reassemble it is difficult. Imagine which
screw goes to where and which connection
goes to which socket. So if ever I get into a
situation like accidentally spill a beverage
into my laptop, I might run to the nearest
shop and have it looked into. Or you can try this tips from Chris J.

UK Schools to Ban Niqab
UK schools will very soon have the authority
to ban the niqab (face-veil) in schools after

AVP Week '07: Day 5 - Vintage Dan!
We have come to the end of the line for this week's AVP series. For our closing video, we chose the work of
Shierdan Pamintuan -- a virtually unknown early last year but has been nominated in The 2006 W@Wie
Award and even snatched one of the TOP 5 trophies! Do not let the vintage-feel of the clip and the music box
scoring at the start fool you. This guy rocks and it shows in his video. Now if you're ready, it's time to hit the
play button!

AVP Week '07: Day 4 - Baptism of Fire!
If every batch of W@Wies have a 'flavor of the moment' in their quest for fresh talents in videography, this is
probably the it-guy at this time. Jezreel Cruz doesn't hide the fact that he's new in the business and his clients
(so far) are all W@Wies. Actually, we were seriously concerned that this video would not make it in time for
today's presentation. That could've cut short the AVP Week by one day. But it's here now, and personally, what
we saw exeeded our expectation from someone new in the business. He called this clip 'New Beginnings,' we call
it his baptism of fire. Check this out!

AVP Week '07: Day 3 - Iloilo's Pride!
When we asked Jason Magbanua for referrals of promising names we could possibly feature for this AVP Week,
he suggested two non-Manila based videographers. The first one never replied to our offer; but Iloilo-based Fiel
Pranga of Mayad Studios agreed and rose up to the challenge. As proven by one of last year's entry, suppliers
based in the provinces could be at par (or somethimes, even better!) with their Manila counterparts. We
particularly liked the scoring and the text graphics in this clip. Watch it now.

AVP Week '07: Day 2 - Absolute Reality!
When we talk about a reality TV approach to wedding videos, there's only one name that comes to mind --
Buddy Gancenia. As far as we know, he pioneered in this innovative concept in early 2005. When we
comissioned him to do the AVPs for The 2006 W@Wie Awards, he still infused that RealiTV approach and it
worked well! Buddy's clip for our AVP Week bears the same trademark that realityweddingvideos.tv is known
for. Watch and get real!

AVP Week '07: Day 1 - Something New!
Our line-up for last year's AVP Week was such a powerhouse but that didn't mean we've run out of other
talented wedding videographers to feature for this year's edition. If you think that going dreamy, breathtaking
and heart-pounding is the only route to make a one-minuter AVP, then think again. This week's opener went
the opposite way by presenting the crazy & goofy side of weddings. Joel Salindong (yup, he's the guy behind
those moving airplane in our banner ads!) dared to present something new for our AVP Week. Watch and
enjoy!

Perfect on women or men, this ring could be everything from a personal design

Heart & Soles!
Having been bitten by Crocs™ soon after its flagship store opened in Bonifacio High
Street at the Fort, we've wondered if there are people 'crocky' enough to wear a pair
in their own wedding. As we checked out crocs.com, we've found out that there is a
page-full of testimonials of people who did just that. One couple even provided pairs
for their entire wedding party! How cool is that? If your considering wearing a pair
in your own big day, you can wear them as is or jazz a few vent holes with Jibbitz
stones, hearts or even a Philippine flag! Can't wait to get your own pair, here's a list
of retailers across the country.

The Davao Blog Party was a big, big success!
The day started with a little “executive” meeting with head organizer Blogie Robillo, cousin-blogger Angel Abella,
Jun Macarambon
and special guests Janette Toral and Aileen Apolo. Aileen did a presentation on Google Apps and Janette talked
about her Digital Filipino club, which I am going to join very soon.

Finally! My first Wordpress Theme release!
Loosely based on this blog’s theme, I began work
on it last September, but for some unforeseen reasons (actually I don’t remember — is unmemorable a word?), I
abandoned it. Last night, lightning struck and I finally decided to finish it. Oh, I also ended up renaming it.
I’m launching this theme in tandem with my new gadgets blog.
Head over to the official theme page at Darn Slick to check it out.

Just a silly little story.
I got a call from an agent of PLDT Mydsl yesterday who informed me of a “promo” they’re offering to their current
subscribers:
1 month free DSL with 1-year contract
3 months free DSL with 2-year contract
I wasn’t at all taken by their measly promo. I was expecting more in the lines of a free pc for putting up with their

Alleba Blog http://www.alleba.com/blog/
crap service for 2 years! They should thank Bayantel for not having their DSL available in my area or else I would
have already switched a long time ago.
Going back to the story, the agent asked for my email address. I said: “andrew… at… alleba”. She interrupted me.
“Ano yun sir?”. “andrew… at… a-l-l-e-b-a dot com”, I muttered. She answered, “Sir, andrew at alehba dot com?
Hindi sya Yahoo?” “Hindi” “Sigurado ka sir?” “Oo” “Bago sya na email sir?” “Hindi.” “Ahh sige ok sir.”
Translation:
(agent asks for my email address)
“andrew… at… alleba”
“What’s that sir?”
“andrew… at… a-l-l-e-b-a dot com”
“Sir, andrew at alehba dot com? Is that a Yahoo! email address?”
“No.” (obviously!)
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.” (duh!)
“Is that a new email service?”
“No.” (double duh!)
“Ok sir.”
I wonder why she would think that Yahoo! is the only email service in the whole world?! Just goes to show how
“world-class” PLDT is.

The Davao Blog Party #1
Posted February 21st, 2007
Visited 326 times | 4 Comments | View blog reactions
Blogie, Marc, Kim, Ria, Jun
and I met a few hours ago at Blugre MTS to discuss our upcoming Davao Blog Party to be held on Saturday, March
17, 2007. The newly-opened NetFront Coffee Shop and Internet Cafe will serve as the venue. There were a few
jokes thrown here and there but I’m glad to report that this time we got somewhere. Kim was nice enough to agree to
plug the event on her radio show (she DJ’s part-time). Apart from that she’s also responsible for “physical
arrangements”. Sounds like a weird sexual medical saga, but no that just means that she decides where all the
attendees will be seated. We joked that Ria
would be cooking the food at NetFront’s kitchen. But no she’ll only coordinate with whoever will cater the event.
There were more senseless stuff about chicken sandwiches, cheese pimiento spreads and oven toasters to be raffled
off which I’d rather not dwell on.

Of All Names, Why Mine?

I saw an ad in the Philippine Daily Inquirer yesterday that more or less pissed the hell out of me. It was for “the
country’s first mobile instant messenger”, Yehba. Yeah, you read that right, YEHBA. I dunno if they unknowingly
picked that name, I don’t care, it’s too close to mine in pronunciation. Alleba has been around since 2001, so they
can’t claim that they thought of it first.
It’s no secret that Alleba is pronounced
a-yeh-bah (yes, double L’s (LL) take on the letter Y). I might not be that famous but even so these guys couldn’t be
more blatant. I worked hard on my brand and I continue to do so. I’ll have to talk to some people to see what actions
I must take to protect it.

I had a little eyeball with other Davaoeño bloggers last night at the 51 Cafe near Victoria Plaza. It was nice to know
that there’s more of us here in the city. Well, maybe just 6 more. It was my first time to meet Bloggie Robillo, Marc
Javellana, Jim, Dominique, Floraine and Chris. Newly-mowed Jun and sizzling Ria Jose were there too. The
discussions often digressed from planning a blog party to some geeky open source evangelisms. I, for one, like
Windows XP. Lol. It was kinda hard to butt in guys. But don’t get me wrong, Microsoft reeks.
After the whole thing everything about the blog party was still up in the air except for one thing — the date: March
17, 2007. I heard from the grapevine that Dennis
and Jun will contribute a chunk of their Ituloy Angsulong winnings to the party. Yeah, more food! More drinks!
Speaking of guests, Blogie said that Janette Toral will be there. Right now we’re also trying to get Aileen Apolo to
attend.
If you’re interested in sponsoring our event, don’t hesitate to contact me: andrew [@] alleba.com. Or visit Mr.

Am I doing things right with my blog? I only took the craft (semi-)seriously last June 2006. Using that as a starting
point, let’s make an assessment using Abe’s 5 Ways to Check Blog Growth:
Feedburner Subscribers - Then: 0 Now: 156 (it actually went up to about 3,000 but that’s obviously whacked)
Alexa Rank - Before: Hard to tell, my blog’s in a subfolder. *sigh*
Blog Worth - Before: probably less than $100 Now: $89,761.86
Blog Juice - Before: 0 Now: 4.4
SEOMoz Page Strength - Before: 0 Now: 5.0
Make that 10 ways to check blog growth:
Google Pagerank - Then: 0 Now: 6
Pinoy Top Blogs Rank - Then: (Pathetic)th Now: 38th
Technorati Rank - Then: in the millions Now: 21,223
Technorati Links - Then: 0 Now: 256 links from 159 blogs
Blogger Friends - Then: 0 Now: Countless (naks!)

Looking at Dennis Agulo’s Seobunker, two entries from Davao City are making a killing in the rankings! Fellow
Davaoeno Jun Macha-macallit (who’s kinda makulit) is currently in second place while Dennis himself is in the top
8. Wow, go team Davao!!
Link love: (don’t forget my coffee and dessert guys)
Ituloy Angsulong - Seobunker
Ituloy Angsulong entry by a Proud Moro
These rankings are at best preliminary. There’s still 19 days to go. Anything could happen then! Good luck
everyone!

Survey On Pinoy Blogging Trends
March 23, 2007 | Blogs and blogging, Communications, Philippines | 3 Comments
A friend is doing research for his graduate degree in communications and has asked me to share this with
fellow Filipino bloggers. If you have time, please answer this survey: PinoyBlogging: Goals, Trends&
Baseline Survey (V 1.3).
Blogging is slowly emerging as an alternative communication medium worldwide. In the
Philippines, blog sites like Friendster, Multiply, and i.ph... have started becoming popular, first
among the youth, and more recently among adults and professionals.
We wish to obtain a baseline reading of how Pinoys use, engage, participate, read, socialize,
benefit from and communicate via blogs. This is a part of our requirements for UP College of
Mass Communication Class on Communication Research Methods.
For questions and inquiries, please visit our blog at CommTheo3.multiply.com...

Announcing My New Blog: Study Driving

I have a new blog, and it’s called Study Driving. It has a great domain, too: studydriving.com... .

Blogging Pro Wordpress Theme.
If you’re interested in automotive stuff, then I suggest you head on there right now. Okay, there’s not much to
see but a few tips, tricks, and some videos. I originally planned it to be an info site, but I thought that would be
too much work for me, so a blog format would instead be ideal.
Perhaps you’d like to contribute. Just contact me and let’s see what we can do.

lifestyle, food/cooking, entertainment, gadgets, fitness, travel, parenting, problogging, blogging tutorials, and

you might just be the right person for the job.
This is mostly part-time blogging, and the compensation is a mix of a monthly base plus revenue share, and
also with incentives for selling direct ad space on the blog. It’s also an excellent space for cross-promoting
your own blogs or publications, if you have them.
Please get in touch with me if you’re interested. Do indicate the niche/topic you want to write about, ...

So I Signed Up For ReviewMe. Have I Just Sold My Soul?
March 20, 2007 | Blogs and blogging, Problogging, netrepreneurship, reviews | 3 Comments
A lot of bloggers are going against the idea of Pay Per Post type of schemes. For one, it’s considered a hit
against one’s credibility to write material that endorses commercial products or services for compensation. And
then there’s the problem of losing Google juice because of linking to these commercial material.

But then again to many—especially those who are just starting to enjoy the benefits of monetization—this is
the only viable way to earn a few bucks off the blogosphere. Some think blogging for money this way is akin

This has brought up a lot of arguments, notable among which is …

Please try to look for my March 6 post. That was the post
where I wrote about the governor’s absenteeism. And
what’s wrong anyway if I want to see my governor for
personal purposes? Isn’t that my right? Isn’t that part of
the service he should render to his constituents? I am
not asking for an arm and a leg, just a simple chat with
the governor.
And why do you say it’s personal when in fact I went
there as a representative of our local youth group? You
did not even bother to ask me why I went there and yet
you start barking out comments like that. You even
insinuate that I want immediate attention.
I went there the first time, he was not there and I was
told to come back at another date. I came back, still no
show and gave me another date yet again. I came back
again, he just left the office. I finally gave up. I don’t think
that even comes close to me wanting immediate
attention.
I never said that Filipinos in America don’t pay taxes.
Where did you even get such an idea, Eduardo? It might
be you who has downed the Johnny Blue. And I never
flaunted my tax payment. It was you who even declared
$600 a year as your payment. I never quoted any figure
on my part. I just said I am a taxpayer and I deserve to
see the governor. It doesn’t matter how much taxes I
pay. I pay them, period. That makes me a taxpayer,
doesn’t it?
Yes, I said media only talks about bad things most of the
time, and thus it is not an adequate source by itself. And
yes, I wrote that if something fishy happens etc., expose
it to media. Isn’t something fishy equivalent to something
bad? So where’s the contradiction there, amigo? My
point still holds true, that media will most of the time only
talk about bad things.
However, Eduardo, I very much agree with your last
statement that news reporting is a two sided coin. If only
everyone would take a look at both sides, then we will all
be better off. But this is usually not the case. Some
people believe almost anything they read. Isn’t chismis
one of the favorite past times of pinoys?
In the Philippines, you are guilty until proven innocent.
That is the sad truth. Mr. Pontaoe, I forgive you for not
being able to read my March 6 post, as I do not expect
anyone to read all posts in the Forum. However it would
be best to really read thoroughly and think about what
you will be posting in the forum first, before actually
making strong comments like you usually do.
This is a good example of responsible journalism and will
make discussions in this forum more informative and fair.
I was only able to make a comment on the governor’s
absenteeism since I experienced it first hand. Others
might have a different experience, but this is my
experience and that is what I based my comments on.
As you have written previously, entente cordiale. No
offense meant and none taken.

Need more details on proposal
Isidro Ramos
24 Mar 2007
Mr. Van S. de Leon, your proposal to install a think tank
in Pangasinan is great however; I do have reservations
on the percentage being proposed. It is huge… it is
equivalent to my state property tax and plus, you did not
indicate what type of people will be in the board
members and what clout do they have. Are you going to
file with the US federal government so our contribution
will be tax deducted? Which financial institution will be
the guardian of the funds? Please give us more of your
“scheme”.

I do not blame people (posters) who want to display their
limited mental capacity or gross ignorance by stating in
this forum that the Philippines is not really in a bad
situation compared with other countries. They act like
GMA who stated recently that her governance is better
than the previous administrations - denial of
responsibility for any obvious worsening problem that
exists in our country.
GMA even advised the Filipino people to avoid buying
“LUXURY ITEMS” in response to the worsening poverty
problem. At sabi nya, pati siya, nagpapalipas din ng
gutom ng isang lingo.
Anyone with a common sense knows that if the Filipino
people continue to multiply like amoeba, no amount of
economic development and reforms can improve the
quality of life for the majority of the Filipinos. Add the
massive graft and corruption, crimes, illegal drugs and
gambling, etc and all the symptoms for the worst and
complicated “ILLNESS” is ready to happen. In extreme
circumstances which the Philippines is now leading to is
like a serious illness, surgical operation or amputation is
necessary.
Maybe some recent events are a signal of their way of
curing the illness. Hindi na puede ang Salompas o Band
Aid dahil malala na.
If it is so difficult for some posters in this forum to
understand and accept the problems, the first step that

must be taken to solve the problems, how can the poor
majority of the Filipinos help in solving the problems?
Ang alam nilang lunas ay ibenta ang boto nila na ang
kapalit ay pera galing sa kaban ng bayan… o makita
yung kandidatong actor or actress na sumayaw at
kumanta. Hindi ba “KATANGAHAN” ang isang malaking
problema kaya nangyayari ito sa Pilipinas?

Brutal but brilliant
Eduardo Pontaoe
23 Mar 2007
I am sorry, I think its Lomibao not Lambino who’s out of
the political equation.
Lomibao has seen the light and isn’t good. He thought it
was a candle light on the table for a sumptuous meal but
realized soon enough the freight train coming at him at
full speed. Lomibao quitting on his own volition? For
unity? Unity my foot.
Let us poke our noses what’s Lomibao was up to in the
first place. What got me thinking is why resign a
departmental position run for congress and quit so
sudden to campaign for some derelicts? So, it was a
“lorey..conconaori” after all.
Arroyo (JdV?) made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. A
deal of a deal. Possibly, return what it already cost him,
quintuple the amount, a cabinet position or
ambassadorship for icing, and make way for Joe de V to
cut through like knife on butter. Brutal but brilliant.
Now, let’s wait for The Benjie to make his clownish move
against Machiavelli himself.

Straight in the eye journalism
Eduardo Pontaoe
23 Mar 2007
The Sunday Punch is a newspaper that can butt heads
with anybody in the business. I mean locally and
nationally. It’s a heads-on… damn the torpedoes… no
holds barred… straight in the eye kind of journalism.

That’s what makes The Punch fascinating.
The subtlety of delivery is a force to be reckoned with.
Sometimes people reacted passionately to what The
Punch prints but as everybody knew it’s the last breath
of life for anybody on the dark side.
Case in point. Remember the Tondaligan Park scandal?
When The Gonz exposed it, VM Alvin Fernandez went
all the way to high heavens to deny the undeniable but
what followed was a coup of journalistic reporting. The
slew of mind boggling scandals; the garbage boondoggle
at Awai… Malimgas market… the MacAdore hotel…
Magsaysay Park… dredging machine… the towing for
profit… absenteeism in the Clowncil… the Decorp
debacle are known because of pitbull-like tenacity of The
Punch under Ermin Garcia. True to form… the first and
last defense of what is right. The public is fortunate to
have them around.
Hey…Ermin! Float like a butterfly sting like a bee.
(Editor’s reply - sounds like a eulogy but thanks for
the bump)

A Think-Tank/Do-Tank for
Pangasinan
Van S. de Leon
23 Mar 2007
Whoever that Pangasinense that will be elected to office
it will be the same story. Let us tap the overseas
Pangasinenses scattered all over the world to contribute
1 percent of their income on a monthly basis to a
Pangasinan Think-Tank/Do-Tank Group based in USA.
There is so much of financial resources as well as
intellectual resources of overseas Pangasinenses all
over the world that could be pooled together to support a
very aggressive Pangasinan Think-Tank /Do-Tank group
that will aggressively legally approach corruption, fraud ,
dishonesty, etc of those who govern as well as the
governed.
The basic problem is that the people who govern as well
as the governed don’t follow the law. We need massive
money to finance such group. We need 100 million
dollars to finance such Proactive Group, and a
personality and quality of that of Ermin Garcia Sr. who
will run such Pangasinan Think-Tank?/Do-Tank Group.
Filipinos overseas remit to the Philippines 8 billion
dollars a year. How much do Pangasinenses remit to
Pangasinan a year? 100 million dollars is achievable I
think to start the ball rolling.
Dear Fellow Pangasinenses, I want to hear from you.
We need outside” force” based in USA to get things in

Move on… to Mr. Mayor
Victoria N. Carrera
23 Mar 2007
Lambino was asked by PGMA to help campaign for the
senatorial candidates under administration’s senatorial
candidates. According to Sun Star Pangasinan News,
Lambino was convinced by PGMA to give way this
coming election for the sake of unity. He said that it was
a painful decision.
Now fellow posters, “ABANGAN ANG SUSUNOD NA
KABANATA” the deadline for the filing of candidacy isn’t
over yet. Some politicians can always change their
decision and usually at the last minute. So fellow
posters, enough about this Lambino guy. Move on to
another issue………..
On another note: I am calling the attention of the Great
Mayor of Dagupan City. Since it’s your last term of office,
please make sure that the Pistay Dayat Committee
under your administration submits a financial statement
this time. Leave your office at least with good conscience
and some dignity.
Sometimes I wonder if the good mayor and his people
even read The PUNCH. Mr. Mayor, defend yourself.
You’ve been PUNCHED left and right but you remain
silent. Silence is dangerous SOMETIMES

Mr. Bulatao,
Let me respond to what you posted in one single stroke
to conserve time and space. I audit checked carefully
what you wrote up and I came to the conclusion that it’s
full of speculations tantamount of being sexed-up. Your
post on the 18th where you downloaded your limpid
argument that the Agbayanis are power hungry
individuals is the most brazen I have seen in the Forum.
Your deep contempt for Victor’s performance at Urduja
without proper verification and complete disregard to self

respect and even accusing him as an absentee landlord,
showed the frivolousness of your inference and your
huge mistake not keeping your eyes on the ball.
Absentee landlord? Are you sure? Or you misinterpreted
a lessee from a landlord. And going to Urduja, what do
you want from the governor? This is your uproar…the
22nd… in not finding him available when you wanted an
immediate attention. Not because of his gubernatorial
performance but your obsession for something personal.
Looking and begging for a morsel of bureaucracy, Mr.
Bulatao? Well, living in America has its advantages…the
whole kit and caboodle. But, your exultations as a
taxpayer you blundered in your misguided assumption
that Filipinos here don’t pay taxes in the Philippines.
However, it wouldn’t give you the monopoly of attention.
How’s $600 dollars a year sounds to y
