Showbiz & Celebrity / bol-anon roots in hollywood
September 29, 2013, 12:10:13 PM
LOS ANGELESâ€"Hailee Steinfeld has done seven films, including “Romeo and Juliet,” since her Oscar-nominated feature-film debut performance in “True Grit.” So, the talented 16-year-old, pretty in a pink printed blouse and miniskirt, said in my recent chat with her, she has not seen much of her family, including Filipino relatives.

“Not as often as I’d like to,” Hailee said. Her mom, Cheri, who was in the back of the room, traces her roots back to Bohol. Hailee fondly calls her maternal grandpa, Ricardo Domasin, “Papa.” Her great grandfather, Peter Domasin, was the one originally from Bohol. Hailee’s dad is also named Peter.

“I have been traveling so much lately,” Hailee added. “But when the family does get together, it’s definitely an occasion.”

I took the chance to give copies of my book, “My Filipino Connection: The Philippines in Hollywood,” to Hailee, who quickly noticed that Darren Criss was one of her fellow Fil-Ams featured along with her on the cover. Cheri said she looked forward to showing the book (available at National Book Store in the Philippines and on amazon.com) to her family.

In the book, I mentioned that Hailee’s uncle, Larry Domasin, was a child actor whose credits include costarring with Elvis Presley in the 1960s film, “Fun in Acapulco.” I asked Hailee if her uncle Larry’s acting stint somehow inspired her to become an actor, too. “It’s interesting because I [can’t really say I] come from a family of actors,” she replied. “There have been a few [relatives] like my uncle Larry, who has done a few things. The thing I admire the most is that he did [some acting] because he loved it and had a great time. He did it as long as he wanted to. And he has a great life now. I love seeing him. He’s great.”

Been busy

Hailee said she still dreamt of seeing the Philippines, especially Bohol. In fact, with a blooming career, she hopes to make a film in the Philippines. “Every place I want to go to is a place where I hope to shoot a film,” she said.

(After the interview, we chatted briefly about Filipino food. Saying she was picky, Hailee singled out one good meal she had in a Filipino restaurantâ€"in Glendale or Pasadena, she was not sure.)

“I have been busy,” she said with the sweetest smile. Quite an understatement. “I have done ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘Ender’s Game.’ Two of my films, ‘Can a Song Save Your Life?’ and ‘Hateship Loveship’ were bought in Toronto. I have a few moreâ€"I am losing track!â€"‘Three days to Kill’ and ‘The Keeping Room.’” Add Tommy Lee Jones’ “The Homesman” to that list.

Hailee said she would always be grateful for her major break in the Coen brothers’ acclaimed “True Grit.” “I always refer back to my experience on ‘True Grit.’ That was my first film and every single thing that I learned in those three months has traveled with me everywhere. I have since had the opportunity to work with so many incredible people. In ‘Can a Song Save Your Life?’ I worked with Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley, whom I admire and look up to. They were so supportive and helpfulâ€"like everyone else I have worked with. In ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ my experience with Lesley Manville (who plays the nurse) sticks with me.”

Huge honor

Landing the Shakespearean heroine was a coup for the young actress. She plays against Douglas Booth’s Romeo in director Carlo Carlei’s retelling of the classic story, as scripted by Julian Fellowes (“Downton Abbey”). “The casting came about very quickly. I received a phone call and, I remember thinking, to even be considered for a part like this is such a huge honor.

“After that, I went immediately into dialect training. We spent a week or two in Italy before we started filming. That always helps so muchâ€"immersing yourself in the culture and working with the wardrobe, locations. Everyone and everything has such an impact on my performance that I am truly thankful for.”

I urged her to talk some more about her coming films. She obliged: “‘Ender’s Game’ is an epic adventure. I play a character named Petra Arkanian, the only girl in the army that Ender is placed into. They become really good close friends, and help each other out in that world.

“In ‘Can a Song Save Your Life?’ I play Mark Ruffalo’s daughter, a lost teener trying to fit inâ€"she basically does what she can. Her dad comes into her life at a time when she really needs him. They rekindle their relationship. It’s a beautiful coming-of-age story.

“In ‘Three Days to Kill,’ I play Kevin Costner’s daughter. In some ways, she is similar to my character in ‘Can a Song.’ This is a girl who is, again, trying to fit in. She has moved to Paris with her mom. It’s a whole different world. She takes the Metro to school. She is trying to make it as if it’s normal for her.  She puts on a façade until the end of the movie, where you see her for who she really is. She reconnects with her dad. It’s a really beautiful story.

“‘The Keeping Room’ is about two sisters and their female slave during the Civil War. I play the younger sister to Brit Marling. It’s about these women who are by themselves on their property. Two Union soldiers who have broken off from the war come to invade their space. It’s a really beautiful story of three powerful women fending for themselves.”

Back to “Romeo and Juliet,” Hailee said filming in Italy was quite a contrast from acting in front of a green screen in “Ender’s Game.” “Very different,” she stressed. “It was one of the most interesting things I’ve doneâ€"going from filming a story in the actual location it was set in to going in front of a green screen for three months. So that was definitely a departure, really opposite sides of the spectrum but it was really interesting.

“I really enjoy doing period pieces like ‘Romeo and Juliet’ because you have everything there around you to use and take advantage of. But I’ve also learned that I really enjoy doing a film where I am required to use my imagination. That was really fun for me, a new experience that I really enjoyed. ”

The teenage actress admitted that she had never fallen in love. “I can’t really say…I would be able to tell you if I knew, but I haven’t. I have to agree with Julian (Fellowes) that ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is a symbol of first deep love. Obviously, the way that story is told is very dramatic. Everything, apart from their loveâ€"the inner conflict, the feuding families, and just everything going on makes it so exciting when they are together. That’s the way it’s supposed to be, that no matter what anyone is telling you on the outside, you should love who you want to love. But I’m 16 and I don’t really know much about love.”

Social media

Poised and articulate, Hailee is growing up into a young lady. On how she kept herself solid in a profession where drugs and alcohol claim many young lives, Hailee explained, “I owe my parents a lot, the way they brought me up. It was sort of a strict household, where I learned right from wrong. I am home-schooled. It’s interesting because, as much as I feel that I am not part of that stuff, I do see it happen all the time. I am actually fascinated by it because I don’t really understand it.”

Hailee has taken to social media, especially Twitter, very well. “I recently became very big in the social media. It’s so interesting to me that I will get a message from somebody on the other side of the world, saying that they are so excited to see ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ It’s so crazy because, first of all, I always think, how do they know? Other than that, it’s incredible to connect with your fan base and talk to people who are excited about and admire your work. It’s always really flattering. I have yet to have one of those crazy fan experiences.”

On being the face of the fashion house, Miu Miu, Hailee recalled, “I did a campaign for them a couple of seasons ago. It was a wonderful experience. After I was flown to Paris to see the Miu Miu fashion showâ€"t was my first fashion show, my first Fashion Week, it was unreal. The designers, models and the showsâ€"they put on such a production. It’s so incredible. I really felt like I was introduced to fashion on another level. Fashion has become a really big part of my life.”

Day by day

As Hailee plunges from one film project into another, does she have time to map out the kind of future she’d like to have? “I have moments where I will sit and think about what I will be doing in a couple of months or years from now. But because there is so much going on right now, I find it easier to take it day by day. Before you know it, you will find yourself thinking about many months and years into the future so I think it’s less stressful to take it day by day. It’s easier to take it all in that way. But I definitely have times where I am really interested in what the future will be like but there’s only so much you can do thinking about that.”

More and more foreign students are coming to the Philippines to study. The Bureau of Immigration (BI) reported on January 17, 2013, that it granted a total of 42,478 student visas and special study permits (SSPs) in 2012, 14 percent higher than the 41,443 foreign students in 2011. There were 31,000 SSP holders, mostly based in the provinces, and 16,478 student visa holders. Of the students visa holders, 3,302 were new enrollees while 12,949 were old students.

A student visa is issued to foreigner aged 18 years and above, who takes up a course higher than high school in a university, seminary, or school authorized by the BI to admit foreign students. An SSP is issued to a foreign student below 18 years old who studies in elementary, secondary, tertiary institutions and enrolls in a special course of less than one year.

Only schools accredited by the BI, Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, and Federation of Accrediting Agencies are authorized to accept foreign students. There are over 2,100 private, state-run, and small institutions nationwide offering a wide array of courses.

The upsurge in the number of foreign enrollees is a testament to the quality of the Philippine educational system. It is also attributed to the proficiency of Filipino teachers in English and its use as a medium of instruction in most schools. In the 1980s, the government began inviting foreign studetns to study in specialized fields such as medicine and agriculture. In the 1990s, many schools were established to offer courses in English language, aviation, and hotel and restaurant management. In 2000, the government relaxed the issuance of visas for foreign students and established exchange programs between Philippine schools and universities in Australia, the United States, South Korea, Canada, and Europe.

We congratulate the Bureau of Immigration headed by Commissioner Gen. Ricardo A. David Jr. and Commission on Higher Education Chairperson Dr. Patricia B. Licuanan, in their efforts to promote a conducive learning environment for foreign students in the Republic of the Philippines. CONGRATULATIONS AND MABUHAY!

MANILA, Philippines - Pinabulaanan ng alkalde ng Tagbilaran City ang reklamong sexual harassment ng isang flight crew ng eroplano ng Zest Air sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), kamakalawa.

Kinilala ni Airport Police Intelligence and Investigation Division (APD-PIID) head Captain Alden Guy, ang mayor ng Tagbilaran City, Bohol Province na si Dan N. Lim.

Isinumbong ng isang Camille Rose Diaz, flight attendant ng Zest Air at taga Paco, Manila si Lim.

Ayon kay Diaz, sakay sila ng Zest Air flight Z2-353 ga­ling Tagbilaran dakong alas 4:43 ng hapon kamakalawa. Nang lumapag ang eroplano sa runway ng NAIA at papunta sa old domestic airport ay tumayo at gustong magpunta sa banyo ng alkalde pero sinabihan niya ito na hindi pa puwedeng tumayo dahil ang ‘setbelt sign ay naka-on’ dahil nagta-taxi pa ang eroplano.

Sabi ni Diaz, pinakiusapan niya si Mayor Lim na noon ay naka-upo sa 1C na huwag munang magtungo sa banyo dahil may sinusunod aniya silang airline safety procedures.

“No passenger/s is allowed to remove seatbelt until the aircraft is properly parked,” sabi ni Diaz kay Lim.

Dahil dito ay bigla umanong tumayo ang Alkalde at ibinaba daw ang zipper ng kanyang pantalon at brief at hinawakan pa umano ang ari nito.

“Saan mo ako gustong umihi dito?” sabi umano ng mayor at saka umano ipinakita ang ari kay Diaz at sa mga pasahero at kasamahang crew.




Agad inimpormahan ni Diaz ang mga piloto ng eroplano na sina Capt. Ronaldo Ramos at first officer Renato Pitogo tungkol sa pangyayari para humingi ng police assistance pagdating sa old terminal ng paliparan.

Sa pahayag naman ni Mayor Lim, hindi niya puwedeng gawin ang ganitong klase ng kabastusan lalo na sa harapan ng kanyang mga kababayan.

Sinabi ni Cpl. Eduardo Duran, case investigator, pinakiusapan daw ni Mayor Lim ang crew para siya maka-ihi dahil isa siyang diabetic at kailangan niyang umihi.

May regulasyon kasing ipinatutupad ang Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), ‘that no passenger/s is allowed to use lavatory or stand while the aircraft is in motion for safety measures.’

Nakatakda namang magsampa ng kasong administratibo at kriminal si Lim sa crew ng Zest Air sa Pasay City Prosecutor’s Office.

Philippine Daily News / 28 Boholanos start peace run
August 22, 2011, 03:31:19 PM
Philippine Daily Inquirer
2:57 am | Monday, August 22nd,


Zamboanga City, Philippinesâ€"Twenty eight Boholanos began a 452-kilometer run on Sunday from this city to Cotabato City in support of ongoing peace talks between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
Augusto Miclat Jr., director of the International Initiatives for Dialogue (IID), said the marathon involving Boholanos showed that the peace process was not only the concern of people in Mindanao.
“These runners are not activists, they are ordinary people who share the sentiments of the Mindanao people longing for peace,” Miclat said.
The run, dubbed Duyog Mindanao 2011, is part of civil society’s participation for sustainable peace in Mindanao, he said.
Judito Cabusao, IID program manager, said the Boholanos committed “to run for peace in Mindanao because they want to be part of the peace process, especially in policy advocacy and they too share the sentiments of Mindanao people.”
The runners, whose ages range from 20s to 50s, were expected to complete the course in 11 days

NAG-SEX ON CAM PARA MAY MAKAIN
JB SALARZON
TOP STORIES
â– NAG-SEX ON CAM PARA MAY MAKAIN  news today April 9

“Ayoko sana ang ganitong trabaho kaso kaila­ngan ko ng pera para sa pagkain ng aking pamilya.”

Ito ang pag-amin ng isa sa lima kataong dinampot nang maaktuhang gumagawa ng kalaswaan sa harap ng computer nang salakayin ang isang cybersex den sa Barangay Bamboo Hills, Consolacion, Cebu.

Kasabay ng pag-aresto ng mga elemento ng Crimi­nal Investigation and Detection Group (CID­G)-7 ay inginuso ng mga ito ang manager ng pinapasukang cybersex den na isang Dutch national at ang kasapakat nitong dalawang kababaihang Pinay na tumatayong mga manager ng nasabing iligal na negosyo.

Kabilang sa naabutan sa sinalakay na apartment na nagsisilbing cybersex den ay dalawang babae, at tatlong lalaki na pare-pareho ang linya ng trabaho sa cybersex den.

Samantala, hindi muna isinapubliko ng pulisya ang pangalan ng mga suspek dahil kasalukuyan pa ang kanilang ginagawang paghahanap sa mga ito na ipinagharap ng kasong pag­labag sa Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003 sa Cebu Provincial Prosecutor’s Office.

Ang pagsalakay sa apartment ng Dutch nationa­l ay isinakatuparan sa bisa ng search warrant na inisyu ni Judge Samuel Malazarte ng Regiona­l Tria­l Court-Branch 15.

Batay sa kuwento ng isa sa mga trabahador ng cybersex den na si Jose (‘di tunay na pangalan), na-recruit diumano siya ng isa sa Pinay na manage­r na magtrabaho sa kanyang Internet café kapalit ang P15,000 na sahod kada 15-araw. Paghuhubad at paggawa ng kalaswaan umano sa harap ng came­ra ang natokang trabaho sa kanya.

Sinabi pa nito na bahagi ng kanyang “trabaho” ang paglalaro ng ari at pakikipag-sex sa babae sa harapan ng kamera.

Aniya, ginagawa niya ang “trabaho” tatlong beses kada linggo sa loob ng apat na oras at binayaran ng P1,000 hanggang P2,000 kada 15-araw ng mga dalawang mana­ger ng Dutch.

Kuwento naman ni Dale (‘di rin tunay na pa­ngalan), dala ng panga­ngailangan sa pera at kahirapan sa buhay kaya’t na-recruit siya sa trabaho pero ang masaklap nagoyo diumano sila ng Dutch na mag-sex na mag-asawa tatlong beses sa isang linggo sa harapan ng kamera kapalit ng P500 hanggang P1,500 kada 15-araw.

Sa panig naman ng isa pang cybersex worker na itinago sa pangalang Dennis, ni-recruit umano siya ng Dutch at dalawang manager nito bilang model pero nagulat na lamang siya nang ipagawa sa kanya ang mga kalaswaan sa harapan ng camera.

MANILA, Philippines â€" The number of Filipino families who claimed they have experienced hunger due to lack of anything to eat in the past three months reached 4.1 million households, up by 700,000 families from the previous survey period, based on the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey results.

The survey showed that 51 percent or an estimated 10.4 million families consider themselves mahirap or poor, or two points higher than the 49 percent last November.

But President Aquino does not buy the survey results.

He said he could “not reconcile” the survey figures showing more Filipinos are supposedly poor and hungry with the many jobs generated from the influx of investments in the country.

In the nationwide survey conducted last March 4-7 by SWS-BusinessWorld showed that of the 1,200 respondents, 20.5 percent or an estimated 4.1 million families claimed they experienced hunger at least once in the last three months.

The measure of hunger refers to involuntary suffering because the respondents answer a survey question that specifies hunger due to lack of anything to eat.

Survey questions about household hunger are directed to the household head, using the phrase “experienced hunger, and did not have anything to eat (nakaranas ng gutom at wala kayong makain).”

SWS noted that the latest figure is higher by 700,000 families from the 3.4 million (18.1 percent) households last November. SWS said the increase in overall hunger resulted from the gain for both moderate and severe hunger rates.

Moderate hunger, which refers to those experiencing it only once or a few times, rose to 15.7 percent or an estimated 3.2 million families from 15 percent or 2.8 million families in the last survey period.

Severe hunger, which refers to those who experienced it often or always increased to 4.7 percent or 950,000 families from 3.1 percent or 588,000 families.

Concerning geographic area, overall hunger is at its all-time high with 25 percent or 2.2 million families in Balance Luzon from 18.3 percent or 1.5 million families.

Self-rated poverty rose in all areas except Metro Manila, where it fell 10 points to 34 percent from 44 percent.

An eight-point increase was recorded in the Visayas (61 percent from 53 percent), a five-point gain in Mindanao (49 percent from 44 percent), and by a three-point rise in Luzon (54 percent from 51 percent).

It also rose by four points to 59 percent in rural areas and by three points to 45 percent in urban areas.

Self-rated food poverty fell by four points to 24 percent in Metro Manila but increased in other areas, 51 percent in the Visayas, 42 percent in Balance Luzon, and 38 percent in Mindanao.

President Aquino questioned the manner by which SWS determined its survey respondents on the issue of poverty and hunger, saying the pollster did not consider the beneficiaries of the government’s conditional cash transfer (CCT) program.

Aquino, speaking to reporters during in Pangasinan, said the bulk of the survey data came from the National Capital Region and the rest of Luzon, which had fewer recipients of the cash subsidy.

“The bulk of the beneficiaries of the CCT are in Visayas and Mindanao. The statistical sample used in the survey did not capture those who benefited from our CCT program,” he said.

Despite his uncertainties on the survey method, Aquino still said he has asked Department of Labor and Employment and the Department of Social Welfare and Development to verify the hunger and poverty figures and make the necessary measures to uplift their conditions

MANILA, Philippines -- Concerned government agencies are working double time to rescue 2.4 million children from hard labor and instead send them to school, Malacañang announced Wedesday.

Deputy Presidential Spokeswoman Abigail Valte said they are concerned about the high number of child laborers in the country as reported by the International Labor Organization (ILO) and would exert all efforts to put an end to such exploitive practice.

“Children are supposed to be in school and not working. We are very concerned about the problem. It is being addressed by the Department of Labor and Employment in cooperation with the Department of Social Welfare and Development,” Valte told reporters in the Palace.

The ILO earlier raised the alarm over the estimated 2.4 million Filipino children working in dangerous areas such as sex trade, mining and factories. Widespread poverty has supposedly driven these children to work as helpers, street vendors, farm workers, among others.

Valte said the labor department is already working with the UN agency to eliminate the worst forms of child labor in the country. To determine the extent of the problem, she said they intend to count all the child workers and sort them by profession.

“They want to know the actual number of child workers and their particular industries so we can propose alternatives,” she said.

The labor department earlier announced the government intends to reduce by one-half the worst forms of child labor in the country by 2016.

The anti-child labor program involves stricter enforcement of child labor laws and for alternative employment for the child workers’ families

(SPOT.ph) Seven Filipinos have been suspected of stealing a diamond-and-emerald necklace with an estimated worth of US$1 million in Istanbul, Turkey, reports ABS-CBN News. Citing the news site Today's Zaman, ABS-CBN reports that the suspects allegedly stole the necklace from the Zela Jeweler booth at the 32nd Istanbul Jewelry Expo last month.

The suspects reportedly flew to Dubai after the heist and went back to the Philippines. Six of them were identified through security camera footage: Janice Apostol, Armando Fajardo, Edgardo Ramos, Cesar Galvez, Rosita Panlilio and Herbie Cruz.

According to Today's Zaman, some of the suspects supposedly distracted the employee that manned the booth, while one provided cover and another served as the lookout person. Apostol and Panlilio reportedly  entered and exited the jewelry expo's security checkpoints frequently to distract the security guards.

Immigration officers in Turkey supposedly "became stricter to Filipinos entering the country" after the heist, reports ABS-CBN News.

Suan said the offer was made in person and through phone, which he had turned down. He continues to deny charges of child abuse and exploitation being leveled against Revillame, insisting that his son was neither humiliated nor forced to dance in “Willing Willie.”

He expressed hope that the matter be settled soon

Pamilya ni Sally wala pa raw natatanggap na tulong
Ni Angie dela Cruz (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated April 06, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (8)   



MANILA, Philippines - Wala pang natatanggap na anumang tulong ang pamilya nina Sally Ordinario-Villanueva. 

Ito ang sinabi ng pamilyang Ordinario sa kabila ng kaliwat ka­nang pangako ng mga pulitikong sasagutin nila ang pag-aaral ng dalawang anak ni Villanueva.

Ayon kay Ayline Ordinario, nakababatang kapatid ni Sally, hanggang ngayon ay problema pa rin ng kanilang pamilya ang pambili ng damit na isusuot ng kanyang ate Sally oras na dumating na sa bansa ang labi ng kapatid sa Huwebes.

Anya, malaki ang pasasalamat ng pamilya Ordinario sa Tajuna funeral homes dahil sinagot na nito ang kulay puting kabaong na gagamitin ni Sally oras na mailagak ang kanyang labi sa QC.

Tatlo hanggang apat na araw ibuburol ang mga labi ni Sally sa bahay ng kanyang kapatid sa Bgy. Batasan Hills, QC.

Ililipat ang mga labi sa kanyang tahanan sa Echague, Isabela para paglamayan ng dalawang araw bago dalhin sa Tupaz, Isabela sa bahay ng asawang si Hilarion at doon na ililibing.

MANILA, Philippines - There's nothing more the Philippines could have done to safe the lives of 3 Filipinos executed in China for drug trafficking, a senator said on Wednesday.

Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago said the three were bound by Chinese laws when they entered China. "Kung pumasok ka ng isang bansa, ibig sabihin tanggap mo ang mga batas nila," she said in a phone interview. "

Hindi naman puwedeng ikaw na alien, mas maganda pa ang trato sa 'yo ng gobyernong pinuntahan mo."

Santiago believes China did the right thing in enforcing its laws, and that the Philippines has no basis to protest.

"They simply enforced without discrimination a long-standing rule in its jurisdiction. There's no grounds for the Philippines to protest or make a brazen objection," she said. Santiago also said the execution must not strain Chinese-Philippine relations because it was based on "mutual respect" and international laws

OK, so the three drug mules scheduled to die in China at the end of the month are Filipinos and they deserve humanitarian assistance from our government. But do we have to spend more than we should for the drug offenders? Shouldn’t we spend our scarce resources and political capital for the OFWs who truly need government aid?

President Benigno Aquino 3rd has admirably responded to the petition of the families of the drug carriers. He sent Vice President Jejomar Binay to China to appeal to the Chinese government for leniency, if not clemency. Out of respect and in deference to the Vice President, the host government stayed the execution indefinitely “in accordance with our laws.”

The temporary reprieve was a small victory. If you ask me. President Aquino and Vice President Binay have done their part. And they did well. They have clearly shown their concern for Filipinos in distress. There is nothing more they can do.

The drug mules knew what they were doing and were fully aware of the attendant risks and consequences when they took on the job offered them by the drug syndicates. It’s clear that they accepted the job for the money. It would be interesting to know how many times they had slipped through immigration inspection at the airport with illegal drugs in their luggage. How were they able to smuggle the heroin out of the airports? Who were their accomplices?

While I commiserate with them, I find the public attention generated by the prospect of execution a little misplaced. They are not overseas workers in the first place. They went to China to trade or to conduct business or, more to the point, to smuggle illegal drugs to that country. And they were handsomely paid for their services. That, in effect, qualifies them as members of the drug syndicates whether by circumstance or by profession.

I am not saying that we should not take pity on them. We should. I do. As a Christian, I sympathize with them and their families. Besides, I don’t believe in the death penalty. Ours is a borrowed life. Only our Creator has the right to take it back, on His own terms. Life is not a privilege; it is a gift. Executions or death penalties are inhumane. Cruel.

But there’s a consolation to all this. We should seize that comfort. With the fervid media attention generated by the forthcoming executions, the campaign against illegal drugs has received a big boost. Ironic, isn’t it?

I may sound unchristian, but that’s how I see the meaning of the execution of three countrymen on foreign soil. Their date with the hangman should discourage and scare the “carriers”â€"active and prospectiveâ€"from plunging into the sordid drug business. Their death should serve as a deterrent against illegal drugs.

It’s time to tackle more pressing, humanitarian concerns that need the undivided attention of the President. Let’s mobilize more money, time and energies for our OFWs in Japan and those in hotspots in North Africa and the Middle East, like Libya, Bahrain and Kuwait trapped between the government troops on one hand, and the opposition and the United Nations forces on the other.

Our OFWs in Japan and Libya, in particular, are crying for help. They are the real heroes of our time. They are a vital part of our country’s life-support system. Our hopes and dreamsâ€"education for our children, roof over our heads and food on our tableâ€"are kept alive by their hard-earned remittances. Our march to progress is made much more certain by their sacrifices, their families and the public institutions that support them.

LGU Philippines / Why Noynoy should worry
March 29, 2011, 11:57:03 PM
PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino 3rd’s satisfaction ratings are now straddling negative territory. He is the only president in the last quarter century whose satisfaction ratings dropped in the first eight to 10 months of office.

The euphoria that carried him to a landslide victory in May 2010 is gone. He has lost the trust and confidence of a largeâ€"and growingâ€"segment of the population. He has disappointed them. He is no longer invincible. He is vulnerable and he knows it.

Aquino’s net satisfaction ratings have droppedâ€"precipitously. People are beginning not to like the way he handles his job. Noynoy is unique as a president. Barely a year ago, he was the most popular president in history.

Per results of the Social Weather Stations survey of March 4 to 7 (four days), Aquino’s net satisfaction rating is down 13 points, to just 51 percentâ€"69 percent satisfied minus the 18 percent satisfied.

This 51 percent looks good, but not if you consider that the SWS survey has an error margin of plus or minus 3 percent. Add three percentage points to 51 percent and you get 54 percent. Deduct three percentage points from 51 percent and you get 48 percent.

For all practical purposes, Noynoy Aquino’s public approval rating is now in negative territory, below majority. He is skating on thin ice insofar as his job and popularity is concerned. People are beginning to be pissed off with him, and they are telling him.

The 13 percentage points is the steepest drop in a nine- to 10-month period for a sitting president starting with Corazon Aquino during whose presidency SWS began the job survey ratings for presidents.

On the other hand, the Pulse Asia survey of February 24 to March 6 (11 days) is kinder to PNoy. It said 74 percent approved of his performance, 7 percent disapproved and 18 percent were undecided. Using the SWS formula of deducting disapprove (seven) from approve (74), you have a net approval rating of 67, very high compared to the 51 (“net satisfaction”) of SWS but still a significant nine-percentage-point drop from 76 percent (79 approve minus three disapprove) in Pulse Asia’s October 2010 poll.

There is one explanation why Aquino’s net satisfaction rating was 51 percent in SWS and 67 percent in Pulse Asia: The People Power euphoria.

Pulse Asia began the survey at the height of the February 22 to 25 25th anniversary celebration of People Power, when many were in a party mood.

SWS conducted its survey in early March when the revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa were in full swing, sparked by popular unrest over massive unemployment and lack of opportunity for the poor while their leaders wallowed in luxury.

Disturbingly, in the same February 24 to March 6 Pulse Asia survey, more Filipinos now trust (81 percent) and approve (83 percent) of Vice President Jejomar Binay’s performance than President Aquino (75 percent trust and 74 percent approval). The six percentage-point difference in trust ratings (Binay’s 81 vs. Aquino’s 75) is significant since 6 percent of 95 million (the population) is 5.7 millionâ€"the equivalent of half of the population of Metro Manila.

Back in October 2010, more Filipinos (80 percent) trusted Aquino than Binay (78 percent). In just five months, 5 percent of Filipinos (equivalent of 4.75 million) lost their trust in the President.

The May 1986, SWS survey, Cory Aquino had a net satisfaction rating of +53. In March 1987, after 10 months, she had a net satisfaction rating of +69â€"a huge gain of 16 percentage points.

Fidel V. Ramos had a net satisfaction rating of +66 in September 1992. In April 1993, after seven months, the retired West Point-trained general had a net satisfaction rating of +67, up one percentage point.

Joseph Estrada had a net satisfaction rating of +60 in September 1998. In June 1999, after nine months, the veteran actor turned politician, enjoyed a net satisfaction rating of +65, up five percentage points.

Gloria Arroyo had a net satisfaction rating of +24 in March 2001. By November 2001, a lapse of eight months, she enjoyed net satisfaction rating of +27, up three percentage points.

Thus, Noynoy Aquino is the only sitting president in a quarter century whose job satisfaction rating declined and the only president whose job rating didn’t rise after barely a year in office.

UPDATE 5) Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Dinky Soliman wrote on Monday, March 28, a letter of protest to TV5 management, headed by its chairman Manny Pangilinan, over another controversy involving "Willing Willie" host Willie Revillame.

Soliman had appealed to the network not to allow children to endure ridicule and embarrassment on national television after its early evening program allowed a six-year-old boy named Jan-Jan Estrada to perform dance moves akin to male erotic dancing. During the routine, Jan-Jan was crying amid laughs from the audience and strikingly from Revillame himself.

In an e-mail to Yahoo! OMG! Philippines, Soliman said: "I will write a letter of protest to Channel 5 (and) to Mr. Manny Pangilinan regarding the case and we should all write him and demand that children should not be part of the show. They should not be used as instrument for enjoyment and to be laughed at. I will send the communication today."

At one point during Jan-Jan's performance, Revillame said: "Umiiyak pa yan…Ngayon pa sa hirap ng buhay ng tao…si Jan Jan siyempre sasayaw bilang macho dancer sa edad na yan para sa kanyang mahal na pamilya…pinahanga mo ako Jan Jan."

"Lumuluha yan…parang sa pelikulang 'Burlesk Queen'…umiiyak na ganoon…ginagawa para sa pamilya. Masama ang loob pero kailangan kong gawin para sa mahal sa buhay," he added.

The show's spinner then repeated the song the child had danced to five times after, apparently forcing the sobbing child to repeat his "macho dancing," even in his final appearance on a rising platform on stage.

DSWD statement

A few hours after her e-mail, Soliman sent the protest letter to TV5 which was addressed to Pangilinan. In this regard, the DSWD sent Yahoo! OMG! Philippines its official statement:

"The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) condemns the emotional abuse and humiliation bestowed on a six-year-old child contestant, during the March 12, 2011 episode of the Willing Willie show aired on TV5.

The sequence shows the boy gyrating in a distasteful manner with the audience, including the host (Willie Revillame), manifesting no evidence of concern or alarm for the child. This incident is clearly a violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act and a blatant manifestation of child abuse.  The term “child abuse” includes the following acts: “psychological and physical abuse, neglect, cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment,” and “any act by deeds or words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of the child as a human being.”

Putting pressure on children to do acts such as mimicking adult sexy dances, in exchange for a certain amount of money, and at the expense of being laughed at and ridiculed by hundreds of people, clearly traumatizes the child. This is a clear form of child abuse and will not be tolerated by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

The Department has already communicated to ABC Development Communication Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan asking that children should not be allowed to appear in TV shows like Willing Willie, especially those capitalizing on poverty as a source of immediate entertainment. In the formal communication with Mr. Pangilinan, the Department has also rebuked the insensitive actions and remarks of Mr. Revillame.

On a final note, the Department is also conducting its own investigation on the said incident and if warranted under the circumstances, legal action will be taken against the TV 5 management and other concerned parties in violation of RA 7610. The necessary counseling will also be awarded to the child and his parents, to prevent further trauma and abuse due to the media hype brought about by this saddening incident."

MTRCB action

For its part, the Movies and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has begun to act on complaints regarding the "Willing Willie" episode. In a brief published on its website, the MTRCB said, "The Board received numerous complaints about the 12 March 2011 episode of “Willing Willie” aired over Kapatid Network TV5 where a six-year old boy contestant was shown to be gyrating and impersonating the body movements of a macho dancer.

In accordance with the Board’s duty to enforce the Constitutional mandate that the State shall defend the rights of children from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation, and other conditions prejudicial to their development, the Board has referred the matter to the Hearing and Adjudication Committee for appropriate disposition.

The Board further emphasizes that whenever children are featured in television programs, producers are mandated to observe legal standards stipulated in R.A. 7160 to avoid “psychological abuse xxx cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment” and “any act by deeds and words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of the child.”


Meanwhile, TV5 Head of Creative and TV Entertainment Perci Intalan told Yahoo! OMG! Philippines that the network and "Willing Willie" producer Wil Productions are aware of the issue and the comments of the public regarding the matter and are currently in discussions on appropriate action.

SOUTH ORANGE, NJ â€" For nearly half of last year, Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey’s oldest and largest Catholic University, had no president.

After the last president stepped down in July, Seton’s top officials have been searching. Their strict qualification: Only catholic priests are allowed to head this university of about 10,000 students.

But in a break from a 25-year tradition, a Filipino educator became its first lay president and the first Filipino to become president of an American university.

“We’ve been blessed, my family and I, to be asked to play this key role at the key point of the history of Seton Hall, as a Filipino-American. At least, from what I understand at this point I’ll be the first Filipino-American President, it means a lot,” said Dr. Amado Gabriel Esteban said.

Seton’s Board of Trustees then made an exception to the University’s by-laws to allow the appointment of Dr. Esteban as president eventually.

“I try not to get out-worked, so hard work goes a long, long way towards ensuring that you’re able to reach your dreams. It doesn’t hurt to have some luck along the way, and I’d say prayer is a big factor,” he said.

Born and raised in the Philippines, 49-year-old Esteban comes from a family of educators. His father was a college professor and his mother was a high school teacher.

Before coming to the US in 1987, armed with his masters in business administration, Esteban taught at the College of Business at the University of the Philippines.

Esteban said, “I applaud our school teachers especially in the Philippines for what they do, they work with the future of our country”.

Being at the helm of the largest Catholic university is a big challenge. But Esteban is confident he could face their challenging new goal of becoming one of the top 5 Catholic universities in the nation.

Esteban said setting your dreams high often pays off big time. “If you set your goals low, then that’s what you’re going to achieve, so you have to set your goals high but never forget your priorities.”

Esteban said he may not be the priest they were looking for, but as a Filipino who embraces his Catholic faith like no other, it’s close enough

For the mayor of Panglao town and potential investors, it represents limitless revenues. But for the local fishers and environment advocates, the plan to build artificial islands off the tourism haven could mean destruction of their livelihood and vital marine life.

Patterned after the luxurious Palm Islands in Dubai, the proposed Panglao Oasis Islands in the waters off Bohol are envisioned as perfectly built enclaves that will accommodate upscale tourists.

"These islands are presenting a solution to boost tourist arrivals and double the paltry revenue of the country’s tourism industry," Panglao Mayor Benedicto Alcala told GMA News Online in an interview. Philippine tourism receipts are currently estimated at $2.25 billion a year, Department of Tourism (DOT) records show.

The project could also open up opportunities for both domestic and foreign investors, Alcala said. "There is a limitless possibility of investments that would pour into the country," he added.

However, the fisherfolk alliance Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) is opposing the ambitious reclamation project, saying profits should not take precedence over the livelihood of small fishers.

"These man-made islands will be put up where we catch fishes. Kung maitayo na ang mga ‘yan, lalo kami papalaot, lalo naming ilalagay sa panganib ang mga buhay namin," Pamalakaya chair Fernando Hicap said in a separate interview.

Hicap said the government will be engaging in "all-out destruction" of Panglao’s geography if it pushes through with the creation of the artificial islands.

“The construction will stir up so much silt that coral reefs and other creatures will be asphyxiated or chased away. Eventually, fishes will die or find new habitats," he explained.

A master-planned Boracay?

The proponent, Oasis Leisure Islands Development Inc. based in Bohol’s capital city of Tagbilaran, intends to create five interconnected islands off the seas of Panglao for the reclamation project.



The first island is for commercial and recreational facilities such as convention centers, hotels, and casinos, said lawyer and Oasis spokesperson Carlos Castillo. “We hope to upstage Macau’s development in this island," he said.

Schools, spas, and residential areas are planned for the second island, Castillo said.

The third island, he said, would house commercial establishments like boutique hotels, souvenir shops, dive shops, and theme parks. Apartment complexes for employees of the tourism facilities in the islands will also be located in the island, described in the project profile as a "master-planned Boracay."

A greater part of the fourth island would be developed as a nature park, with the remaining area utilized for camping and fishing grounds, Castillo said.

Finally, the fifth island would be for “those interested in owning a piece of paradise," said Castillo.



The provincial government of Bohol entered into a joint venture agreement with the company in June last year for the reclamation project, said Castillo, who refused to provide financial details about the proposal.

The Panglao Oasis Islands, according to the project profile obtained by GMA News Online, will “harness and sustain" Bohol’s vast tourism potential.

In 2009, a total of 313,317 tourists visited Bohol, according to DOT data. The provincial government is pursuing major transport infrastructure projects, including the Circumferential Roads and Panglao-Bohol International Airport, to cater to the expected exponential increase in the influx of tourists from all over the world.

The Panglao Oasis Islands proposal has found a major ally in Mayor Alcala, who is looking at the “building of trust between the public and private sectors" to realize the project. "It can be challenging… but when done correctly, such a partnership can have world-changing results," he said.

Also called land-filling, land reclamation has been employed by many countries to develop infrastructure and agricultural areas in places that are already crowded.

Mayor Alcala cited the examples of Japan, where boatloads of dirt and rock were hauled from a nearby mountain and dumped into Osaka Bay to create an island for the new Kansai international airport, and Singapore, which extended its terrestrial territory into the shallow waters around its main island with the help of the private sector.

He described the creation of man-made islands as "a dream project that will not only address the difficulty in acquiring property for investments in Panglao, but will also put Bohol and the country at the forefront of the international tourism landscape."

Tarsier habitat

The project is facing stiff opposition not only from fishers but also environmentalists, who are worried about its impact on the marine environment of Bohol.

Pamalakaya’s Hicap said creating new land masses will alter the sea current, lead to rising sea levels, and bury coral reefs, oyster beds, and sea grasses that nurture fish and other marine life. Scuba diving will suffer as a result, he said.

The huge volume of land needed to fill the waters off Panglao is expected to come from Maribojoc town in Bohol province, the non-governmental organization Environmental Legal Assistance Center (ELAC) said.

“It is inevitable that they need to quarry a vast area of land and cut trees. As a consequence, that small town of the province may eventually face massive flooding and soil erosion," ELAC executive director Raul Barbarona said.

He pointed out that there are already applications for quarrying in Maribojoc â€" home to the world’s smallest primates. “We cannot stand the desire of these selfish investors to destroy this small town, particularly the habitat of tarsiers," Barbarona said.

Solid waste from the reclaimed areas that may be disposed in a sanitary landfill in mainland Panglao will result in “adverse impact to the environment and people," Barbarona said.

The proponent has downplayed these concerns, saying an environmental and feasibility study will be done first. “It is our major priority to promote land sustainability and the availability of usable land to future generations," Castillo said.

While the mayor of Panglao favors the project, the municipal council is currently in the opposition camp. Last week, the local legislature passed a resolution banning all kinds of reclamation activities within Panglao’s territory, Barbarona said.

Yet, fishers and environment groups are far from complacent, knowing that the project is supported by the provincial government, he added.

Talk of the Town / kalooy sa mga Pinoy sa Libya
March 03, 2011, 02:39:38 AM
OFWs who have successfully escaped from Libya declared that the only workers left in Libya are Filipinos. As of Wednesday, only about 3,500 Filipino OFWs out of 30,000 have been evacuated out of Libya.  About 15,000 are still trapped inside Libya. Compare that to China which immediately evacuated 29,000 of its nationals in 5 days. Pakistan, India, Korea, Nigeria and Thailand also quickly evacuated their people.

Why did it take 10 days to hire a ship from Greece to pick up 1,725 Filipinos in Bhengazi? Also, ten days to charter an airplane to pick up OFWs from Bhengazi to ferry them to Crete? It had to take Acting Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario to go himself to Tunisia and to Libya to expedite action. Main reason for the delay is the lack of funds released. DFA claimed it released $150,000 to the Philippine Embassy in Tripoli. It was only a few days ago that OWWA released P125 million for the ship and airplane charters. Another reason could be that for the first 3 weeks of February, Malacañang was preoccupied with the preparations and activities to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Edsa. And then there were a small number of personnel deployed at the Philippine Embassy in Libya

Health and Food / Oral love linked to cancer risk
February 24, 2011, 11:08:38 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) â€" US scientists have said there is strong evidence linking oral sex to cancer, and urged more studies of how human papillomaviruses (HPV) may be to blame for a rise in oral cancer among white men.

In the United States, oral cancer due to HPV infection is now more common than oral cancer from tobacco use, which remains the leading cause of such cancers in the rest of the world.

Researchers have found a 225-percent increase in oral cancer cases in the United States from 1974 to 2007, mainly among white men, said Maura Gillison of Ohio State University.

"When you compare people who have an oral infection or not... the single greatest factor is the number of partners on whom the person has performed oral sex," said Gillison, who has been researching HPV and cancer for 15 years.

"When the number of partners increases, the risk increases," she told reporters at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington.

Previous studies have suggested that people who have performed oral sex on six or more partners over a lifetime face an eight-fold higher risk of acquiring HPV-related head or neck cancer than those with fewer than six partners, she said

Talk of the Town / Pinays prefer ugly, rich husbands
February 12, 2011, 12:22:22 AM

By Helen Flores (The Philippine Star) Updated February 12, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (0)   


MANILA, Philippines â€"  Looks are good but we need cash


This seems to be true for a majority of Filipino women who prefer to marry for money rather than looks, according to a survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) released yesterday.

The pre-Valentine survey showed 51 percent of Filipino women wouldn’t mind marrying a rich but ugly man.

This means the remaining 46 percent would rather marry a good-looking guy even if he were poor.

The women answered the question, “If you were to choose one of the following two persons to be your lifetime partner, who would you pick: A person who is rich but ugly, or A person who is good-looking but poor.”

Only two percent of the women respondents did not answer the question.

For Filipino men, looks proved to be the more important factor. The same survey revealed 52 percent of Filipino men are more likely to choose a good-looking partner even if she is poor.

For Filipino women, financial stability was a more important consideration, with 57 percent saying they would pick a rich but ugly partner, as against the remaining 41 percent inclined to marry a poor but good-looking guy.

Courtship is important in building relationships because it helps couples know each other better, it allows couples to decide if they want to be committed, it allows couples to decide if they are ready to be committed, it develops security, and it develops understanding and acceptance.

Courtship is one of the primary stepping stones for building a successful and long-lasting relationship. There are many different courtship practices and traditions all over the world and parents, couples and even relationship advisers have noted the importance of courtship.

Going through a courtship period is good relationship advice for couples who are thinking of pursuing a more serious relationship. Here are more reasons why courtship is important in building strong relationships.

It helps couples know each other better

Courtship is generally regarded as the period before a couple’s engagement and marriage. This period is a crucial time for the couple to get to know each other better and gain insight about their partners.

It is also during the courtship period that men and women see the personalities, strengths, weaknesses, interests and goals of their partners. As a result, it also helps couples assess how compatible they are with each other.

It allows couples to decide whether they want to be committed

Once a couple knows each other’s personalities, similarities and differences, they will be able to decide whether they actually want to spend the rest of their lives together, and if there is a potential for a more serious commitment.

It allows couples to know if they are ready to be committed

Wanting to be committed is one thing and being ready for a commitment is another thing altogether. Courtship allows the couple time to assess whether they are heading in the same direction and whether they share the same long-term goals. Having a commitment can influence your plans and decision-making.

Conflicts often arise when a couple jumps into a serious commitment without even considering if they are ready for the responsibilities involved or if they are willing to have someone else influence their decisions.

It develops security

It is during courtship that a man presents his best and tries to gain the woman’s affection. Hence, courtship is usually one of the most special and memorable periods for both the man and woman.

The hard work that the man does during courtship will make him value his woman and the relationship more. At the same time, the woman will feel more secure in the knowledge that her man is willing to strive to prove himself to her.

It develops understanding and acceptance

One of the most important elements that contributes to the success of a relationship is understanding and acceptance. Because courtship allows the couple to know and assess each other better, it consequently gives them time to settle their differences and nurture their strengths if they really want to pursue a relationship with one another.

When a couple is able to settle their differences, they learn to understand and accept one another. And if they are able to understand and accept one another, there is less chance that their differences will become a major issue that will be more difficult to deal with later in the relationship.

However you choose to spend your courtship period, the important thing is to invest time and effort with your partner during this time.

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) â€" Roughly two thirds of American teenagers are comfortable enough with their parents to have them as Facebook friends, according to a new study.

But 16 percent of students said befriending their parents was a precondition for joining the social networking site and 38 percent said they simply ignored friend requests from their father or mother.

"Facebook ... continues to be the new frontier in the ever evolving relationship between parent and child," said Kristen Campbell, of Kaplan Test Prep, which questioned 2,313 students, aged about 16 to 18, about social networking trends.

The study showed that 65 percent of teens "are not hiding and that is positive," said Campbell, an executive director at the company that develops college prep programs.

For many young Americans, Facebook offers an opportunity to remain independent from their parents, according to Campbell.

"Even though parents are very involved and very active, Facebook allows young people to exert their independence," she explained. "They want part of their lives to be private."

In some instances, parents and their children decide to mutually keep their Facebook lives separate. Even though many teens ignore friend requests from their parents, 82 percent of teens report that their parents are either "very involved" or "somewhat involved" in their academic lives.

Campbell described Facebook as a natural step in being connected for a generation that has grown up with the Internet.

"This is a generation that's communicating electronically and now the lines of communication are open in new ways."

Health and Food / Healthy Ways of Losing Stomach Fat
February 08, 2011, 02:26:12 AM
Here are a few tips on how to lose stomach fat in a healthy way: drink plenty of water, fruits and veggies; engage in aerobic exercise; do some weight training; have a proper nutrition and diet.

Belly fats can be very annoying. And, to get rid of them fast is one major concern of almost all women who gained weight through time. What to do and how to do it effectively is the big question. Below are some helpful ways that you can follow to achieve your goal:

drink plenty of water, fruits and veggies

Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Water will eliminate toxins from your body making it very important for your health. Drinking plenty of it can basically aid you in controlling your diet. Drinking vegetable and fruit juice is another healthy way of eliminating fat since they are rich in fiber. Fiber will naturally push calories out of your body.

Engage in aerobic exercise

Aerobic exercise includes bicycling, jogging, walking, swimming, dancing and stair climbing. These exercises are great for burning belly fat. Any of these exercises should be done for about 30 minutes or more. Anything less than that would be considered as a exercises contributing to plainly cardiovascular benefits, but not in burning the fats in your abdominal area.

Do some weight training

Weight training need not be a strenuous one for you. Choose a program that fits just right for your body structure and need. This is a very good way to sculpt and tone your muscles. Weight training is able to burn fats fast and easier because of its capability to increase metabolism rate.

Have a proper nutrition and diet

In order to succeed in your fat elimination program, the key here is to integrate exercise and good nutrition and proper diet. You should have less intake of calories to expedite in getting rid of the fat in your belly. Eating in smaller portions of about 4 to 5 times per day is better that overeating in one or maybe two meal times. Choose natural and or organic food too. Take vitamins and supplements for a healthier you. Lastly, have a large amount of fiber and protein in your food intake. Foods rich in monounsaturated fats like beans, nuts and avocado can give you a feeling of being full, thus decreasing you cravings for more food.

Belly fat is caused not only by lack of exercise and increase in food intake. Studies show that stress can play a devastating role in your tummy. But, then again, with enough rest and exercise combined with a proper nutrition like that of Jillian Michaels diet, you know you have better chances of having the flat belly you so desire.

World Daily News / Wife for rent in India
February 05, 2011, 01:10:52 AM
Poor husbands in India have set up rent-a-wife schemes, leasing their partners for up to £100 a month to richer men as the shortage of brides has reached crisis proportions.
The increasing scarcity of young women graphically shows the impact of the outlawed but widespread practice of aborting female foetuses because families want boys, not girls.
Atta Prajapati, a farm worker who lives in Gujarat state, leases out his wife Laxmi to a wealthy landowner for £100 a month - around ten times his salary.
Laxmi is expected to live with the man, look after him and his house and, of course, provide sex.
Female infanticide has been widespread in India for generations.
In 1870 the British colonial government passed a law to ban it, but with little effect. Girls must be married off. And to achieve that a daughter's parents usually have to pay the groom's family a dowry of cash and gifts - often a massive burden on the parents' savings and income.
Boys are also likely to provide more of an income than girls. Dowries were outlawed in 1961, but the practice is still common and the law all-but ignored.
The arrival of ultrasound technology in the 1980s, which made it possible to determine the sex of a foetus, made sex selection much easier.
Doctors were banned from revealing the sex of a foetus in 1994, but only one doctor has ever been prosecuted for doing so.
A report in the Lancet this year calculated that in the past 20 years, no fewer than ten million female foetuses had been aborted at the rate of 500,000 a year.
The nationwide figure for women per 1,000 men declined from 945 in 1991 to 927 in 2001, according to the census.
But in the under-sevens, the imbalance was far more acute. In the Punjab, there were only 790 girls for every 1000 boys of that age.
Officials say in parts of states such as Punjab and Haryana, the sex ratio could now be as low as 500 or 600 females to 1,000 males.
The lack of marriageable girls has led to booming business for bride brokers, who are paid to find a woman for a man to marry.
Brokers charge a groom's family up to £750 and the girl's family will receive around £200.
Dr Sabhu George, who has been researching the phenomenon for the last 21 years, warned: 'Over the next five years, we could see over one million foetuses eliminated every year. The future is frightening.
The world needs to know about this problem because it is going to get worse.'
His research, in New Delhi, shows that as ultrasound technology becomes available in more remote areas of India, the number of abortions of female foetuses increases.
'At this pace, we'll soon have no girls born in this country. We don't know where it will stop,' he said.
Only last week, an undercover Indian TV documentary sent a pregnant female researcher for a consultation with 140 different doctors.
In each case, she asked for an abortion simply because she was carrying a girl. A hundred of the doctors agreed.
Though police have been forced to investigate the programme's findings, to date only one doctor has been jailed for revealing the sex of an unborn baby.

General Topic / Drinking Cow Urine and Eating Cow Dung?
February 05, 2011, 01:02:22 AM
Cow Urine Sales Skyrocket in India!

By David J. Stewart

       The Hindu Vedas say that the cow is holy and should be worshipped. These Brahmins also claim that cow dung ash has medicinal value. However, samples sent to a leading test laboratory in West Germany have purportedly proved this to be untrue. Even today Hindus smear their homes with cow dung, expecting a special blessing.

Hindus foolishly worship cows as gods... DRINKING COW URINE and EATING COW DUNG! As an outgrowth of this, products made by cows also have an enormous history of usage in that country. A popular urine soft drink was launched in India in 2009, to unite the faith of 8,000,000 Hindus. This is the work of Satan. God gave us milk, orange juice, water, and so many other wonderful beverages... why drink URINE with all it's impurities and bodily waste? And worse, Hindus eat the cow's dung. This is what the Devil does to people. Without Jesus Christ, people are capable of anything.

Cow products made from dung and urine (known as goratna) have seen an enormous boost in popularity lately. You can get lotions, potions and pills, some of which are cure-alls that battle everything from constipation, to irregular periods, to hysteria, to cancer, and much more. In addition to medicines, the goratna products range from cow dung toothpaste, to detergents, a skin-whitening cream, baldness and obesity cures, soap and a cow urine “antiseptic aftershave.” How about "cow-dung toothpaste"?

Of course, you’re not allowed to slaughter cows, but you are allowed to use the five following items, collectively known as "panchgavya": milk, curd, cheese, urine and dung. Panchgavya is used to make a popular drink in India, which is alleged to have healing properties. No thanks, I'll pass.

Hindus in India smile with happiness as a large cow craps on the floor of their home. They think this is a sure sign that their home has been blessed. Hindu's in India smear cow dung across the entrance of their homes, and require anyone entering their home to step through the dung. Needless to say, Hinduism is a bizarre, Satanic, and sicko religion. Hindus are in desperate need of the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you are Hindu and this article offends you... SO BE IT! I care about you and don't want you to burn in Hellfire. I am telling you the truth. Salvation is found ONLY through the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:10-12). Acts 10:43 states, "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." There is NO other way to Heaven (John 14:6). 

According to the History Channel, in a segment called The History Of Dung, they state that there are 250,000,000 cows in India, and each cow produces 16-tons (32,000 LBS.) of dung per year. 

Tragically, in India people are dying of hunger. Why are low caste poor Hindus prohibited from eating beef? People stop their cars, and sit for hours waiting for a cow to clear the roadway, thinking it to be sacred. In India cow meat is cheaper than other available meats. Instead of these Brahmins taking care of the low caste peoples of India, they are doing their best to save their "holy" cows instead. This is evil. According to Valmith's Ramayana, God Rama "ATE" meat. So then "why" have these Brahmins given up beef-eating?  It's hypocrisy within their own religion. 


Drinking Cow Urine for Health?

Hinduism also teaches URINE DRINKING. One Prime Minister, Morarji Desai (Brahmin), boasted that he was drinking eight ounces of his own urine daily (pure and fresh!) in the morning in accordance with the Vedas claim that urine has medicinal value. With the same claim today the Brahmins are drinking cow's urine as if it is a DAILY TONIC. No scientists have ever claimed that urine has any medicinal value. On the contrary it is well known fact that urine is an unwanted organic substance that the human body needs to discharge. This is practice is another unscientific nonsense of Hinduism.

HINDU nationalists in India have launched a marketing exercise to promote cow’s urine as a health cure for ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer.

The urine, which is being sold under the label “Gift of the Cow”, is being enthusiastically promoted by the government of Gujarat, one of three states in India dominated by Hindu nationalists.

The urine is collected daily from almost 600 shelters for rescued and wounded cattle set up by the Vishwa Hindu Parisad (VHP), or World Council of Holy men, as part of a government cow-protection programme to save the country’s sacred, but often maltreated, beasts.

Advertised as being “sterilised and completely fresh” it is available for 20 rupees (30p) a bottle at about 50 centres run by the VHP in Gujerat, from 200 of their outlets in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh, and at fairs and religious festivals throughout India.

It also comes in tablets or a cream mixed with other traditional medicinal herbs. Demand is currently outstripping supply.

DENVER (Reuters) â€" A Colorado mother who told police her 13-month-old son drowned in the bathtub while she was playing a game on Facebook was charged on Friday with child abuse resulting in death.

Shannon Johnson, 34, was advised of the charge against her via a video hookup from the jail where she is being held on a $100,000 bond, said Jennifer Finch, spokeswoman for the Weld County District Attorney's Office.

Johnson requested a public defender during the brief hearing and another hearing was set for later in the month, Finch said.

Under questioning by police after the boy died at a Denver-area hospital last September, Johnson admitted she placed the baby in the bathtub and went into another room to play the Facebook game "Cafe World."

She also checked in with friends and watched videos on the site while the boy bathed alone, according to an affidavit filed in the case.

When she didn't hear any sounds from the boy after 10 minutes, she found him slumped over face down in the bathwater making "gurgling" sounds, the affidavit. Johnson then called 911, and the boy was airlifted to the hospital where he was pronounced dead from drowning.

When police arrived at Johnson's home in Fort Lupton, Colorado, they found a laptop opened to Facebook.

Johnson told police that she frequently left the boy unattended in the bathtub because he was "independent," he liked to be left alone, and she didn't want him to be a "mama's boy," according to the affidavit.

Police also questioned the boy's grandmother, who said he suffered a seizure while she was baby-sitting him a month before he died. She told police she warned her daughter about leaving her grandson alone in the tub after the seizure.

When police asked Johnson about the wisdom of leaving a young child with a history of seizures alone in water, Johnson admitted that "it was so stupid."

She faces up to 48 years in prison if convicted.

If you ask tourism Secretary Joseph Ace Durano, it’s not only the Chocolate Hills or the tarsiers that make Bohol one of the country’s favorite destinations of local and foreign tourists.

“The tour guides in Bohol are the best tour guides in the country. We give standard training to local government units. For some reason, their tour guides are university professors or clergymen,” he said before congressmen in today’s briefing on the budget of the Department of Tourism (DOT

BOHOL, Philippines - Disaster officials are closely monitoring Bohol's Loboc River following the opening of the floodgates of a hydroelectric plant upstream.

Operators of the power plant decided to open the gates due to incessant rains resulting in rising water levels Loboc River, a popular tourist attraction.

Plant Engineer Alfredo Onez said 2 gates were opened at 5:50 a.m. on Thursday (Jan. 27) as water levels hit a critical 31.6 meters.

High water levels could destroy the plant's turbines.

The local disaster council recalled, the last time the dam was opened, downstream communities lost P6 million worth of livelihood.

River cruises along the Loboc River have already been cancelled for the day. The river cruise is a popular tourism attraction of the province.

Bohol's Loboc River has given livelihood to communities near the banks.

Hi everyone,

I have searched high and low and cannot find a centralized place for information about shipping my car and my personal belongings to Bohol from Manila.  I see references about RoRo but I can't locate any rates or schedules.  I'd like to use RoRo to get my car over (one way) and also hire a truck here in Luzon to drop off my belongings and then return. (round trip).  Does anyone know where to find this information?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

MANILA, Philippines - President Benigno Aquino said Thursday he had splashed out on a luxury Porsche sportscar, sparking criticism in a country where a third of the population live on less than a dollar a day.

"It appeared to be out of character. He had campaigned against luxury cars and here he is buying a Porsche," Milo Tanchuling, secretary general of the activist group Freedom from Debt Coalition, told AFP.

"There is a danger that it will be viewed by many as a sign of extravagance and an unnecessary flaunting of wealth amid massive poverty."

Local press cited a recent Aquino order banning government units from buying luxury cars as service vehicles.

The 50-year-old bachelor said he sold his old BMW and took out a personal loan to buy the Porsche, which he said allowed him a relaxing drive amid his gargantuan responsibilities.

"I was happy with the deal because its mileage was less than 10,000 kilometers," Aquino said of the pre-owned vehicle, which local news reports said was a white entry-level model worth P4.5 million ($102,000).

Aquino's spokesman, Edwin Lacierda, defended his boss, saying the car's value had depreciated substantially compared with a brand-new Porsche.

"If it was not depreciated, the president wouldn't even buy it, wouldn't even consider it," Lacierda said.

Aquino won a landslide victory in the May election last year on an anti-corruption pledge of clean government and an end to wasteful spending that he said was the cause of widespread poverty.

THE government will allow private importers to bring in 440,000 metric tons of rice this year from 220,000 last year to head off a looming rice shortage, National Food Authority Administrator Lito Banayo said Friday.

“We will give the private sector a bigger share than last year. That was the directive of [Agriculture] Secretary [Proceso] Alcala,” Banayo said.

He would not say how much rice would be imported this year, but confirmed that at least 1.08 million metric tons will be brought in before the lean months for buffer stocking.

“The 1 million metric tons will form part of the security stocks that the government procures to tide the country over during the lean months of July, August until September, the typhoon months of the year,” he said.

The food agency plans its first rice tender this year in the first quarter, and to increase its buffer stock to 40 days from 30 to be prepared for calamities. The country’s average rice consumption is 36,000 metric tons a day.

The Philippines has so far extended to 2013 a rice supply agreement with Vietnam.

LGU Philippines / How President Noynoy can lead ?
January 08, 2011, 03:54:40 AM
There has been a spate of criticisms against President Noynoy lately, some of them personal. Those who have sources at the Palace say he allegedly does not want to be disturbed until 10 am and he does not want to work beyond 4pm. They say he is lazy. He has not had a cabinet meeting for the last three months. And as an added fillip he can’t seem to keep close relations with women. Etc. etc. The trouble with these criticisms is that they have come too late. These should have been considered before he was elected.

Christian Bautista raised $37,000 at a fund-raising affair for the building of St. Ignatius Church in Manado, Indonesia.

“Tickets were sold out at $30 each,” reported Carlo Orosa. “”For his last song, a bid was made to raise more money by letting Christian sing The Way You Look At Me, his biggest hit in Indonesia. Several girls in the audience pledged from $500 to $1,000.”

For his effort, Christian was featured on the front page of The Manado Post.

Noted Carlo, “Manado has the most number of Catholics and Christians, totaling 65 percent. Indonesia has a total population of 350 million, predominantly Muslim

Nagpunta sa Bohol sina Ogie at Regine pagkatapos ng kanilang kasal. Kasama nila sa Bohol vacation ang mag-asawang Michelle Van Eimereen at Mark Murrow, pati ang kanilang mga anak na sina Leila at Sarah.

Puring-puri ni Ogie ang kagandahan ng Bohol. Nag-enjoy ang kanyang mga anak kaya tiyak na babalik sila sa bayan ni Cesar Montano.

Marami ang nagsasabi sa akin na mas maganda ang Bohol kesa sa Boracay at naniniwala ako dahil masyado nang commercialized ang Boracay.

PAGASA’s 5 p.m. bulletin said the northeast monsoon is prevailing over Luzon while the tail-end of a cold front is affecting Visayas and Mindanao.

“Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao will experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms becoming widespread rains over Leyte and Negros provinces, Bohol, Cebu, and Mindanao which may trigger flashfloods and landslides. The rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with light rains," it said.

It said moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over the whole country. The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be moderate to rough.

Toribio is not a pure Bol anon and not a boxer.
Simeon G. Toribio (September 3, 1905 â€" June 5, 1969) was a Filipino athlete, who won the bronze medal in the high jump at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States. He represented the Philippines in three consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1928.[1][2]

In 1930, Toribio was awarded the Helms World Trophy for being Asia's greatest athlete. He became a lawyer and a congressman representing Bohol province where he later settled. Simeon Toribio, the pride of Zamboanga, was considered the "Filipino Field Athlete of the Half Century" and "Asia's Best Athlete" for winning gold medals in the high jump event in the Far Eastern Olympics in 1921, 1923, 1927, 1930 and 1934 and a bronze medal in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics.[3]

According to author Jorge Afable, Toribio could have won the gold medal, if not only for the "call of nature". It was a grueling four-hour competition to jump over the bar raised at 6 feet and six inches high. Toribio, who once made the jump, failed to overcome it the second time because he was distressed by call of nature. Before this, Toribio narrowly missed the bronze in the 1928 Amsterdam Games.

Toribio, who studied at Silliman University,[4] later became a lawyer. In 1941, he was elected to the House of Representatives of the Philippines, representing the Second District of Bohol, and serving until 1953.

MANILA, Philippines - Kumilos na si Vice President at Presidential Adviser for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) Concerns Jejomar Binay upang tulungan ang isang Pinay na nahaharap sa parusang bitay bunga ng pagpupuslit ng illegal na droga sa China.

Inatasan kahapon ni Binay ang Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) na bigyan ng kaukulang tulong ang Pinay na isang guro sa Shanwei City na inaresto sa Baiyun International Airport matapos na makuha sa bagahe nito ang may 1,996 gramo ng heroin na nakalagay sa foil packet noong Oktubre 26, 2010.

“I am directing the DFA, particularly our consulate, to give all possible assistance to our kababayan. This is another unfortunate case,” ani Binay

Ayon sa DFA, noong Nobyembre 18 ay nagtungo na ang mga kinatawan ng Consulate General sa Guangzhou kung saan nakapiit ang nasabing OFW upang tingnan ang kalagayan nito.

Ang nasabing OFW ay nag-aantabay na ng kanyang paglilitis sa kaso na may katapat na parusang kamatayan sa China.   

Sa direktiba ni Binay, ang DFA ay magbibigay ng mga kaganapan sa kaso at nais din ng Bise Presidente na panatilihing may close contact ang ahensya sa mga kaanak ng nasabing OFW.   

Umapela naman si Binay sa mga OFWs na sundin ang mga batas ng mga bansang kanilang pupuntahan matapos ang pagtaas ng bilang ng mga Pinoy na ginagawang drug mules o courier dahil na rin sa malaking alok na halaga ng mga drug syndicates.

Waa nato kinahanglana ang Int'l airport dinhi sa Bohol....PERO, nagkinahanglan ta ug bag-ong DOMESTIC airport...

Wala naman problema kung international ang airport unya gamiton lang para domestic used ug mao na imoha gusto.I see the design and aerial view and total concept of the airport in Hoteliers Executive magazine in our Coporate Office when i was in Europe recently.So many airline got an interest to open a direct flight and the landing fee for the international airline is very expensive and Bohol can generate revenue then for the corrupt officials.Four Season Hotels & Resort will build 350rooms  (5 star) hotel in Panglao next year too.
