GMA-7 now casting other roles for Dyesebel

Ngayon may formal announcement na kung sino ang gaganap na Dyesebel, hinahanapan na ng GMA-7 ang magiging cast of the upcoming primetime soap.

Magsasamang muli ang tambalan nina Marian Rivera (Dyesebel) at Dingdong Dantes (Fredo) in this first television serialization of the classic Mars Ravelo mermaid character based in a comics in the ‘50s. Ito ang magiging next project nila pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng Marimar.


Bale si Marian ang magiging unang Dyesebel sa TV, the same way Edna Luna was the first Dyesebel in the big screen in two successive movies, Dyesebel (1953) and Anak Ni Dyesebel (1964). Although Ara Mina made a special appearance as Dyesebel noon sa Darna ni Angel Locsin.

Ang iba pang mga aktres na gumanap bilang Dyesebel ay sina Vilma Santos (1973), Alma Moreno (1978), Alice Dixson (1990), at Charlene Gonzalez (1996).

Dingdong, meanwhile, is the first TV incarnation of Fredo na unang ginampanan ni Jaime dela Rosa. Other actors who played Fredo in Dyesebel films were Romeo Miranda, Mat Ranillo III, and Matthew Mendoza. Sa 1990 version ng Dyesebel, Fredo's name was changed to Edward, na ginampanan naman ni Richard Gomez.

Nagpa-final casting na ang GMA-7 for the other memorable characters of Dyesebel. Although may mga pangalan nang nababanggit, hindi pa ito puwedeng mailabas dahil ang iba sa kanila, hindi pa raw kasi nakakausap. So baka magulat sila na mas nauna pa nilang malaman ang balita in print kaysa personal.

Ang ilan sa mga sure co-stars of Marian and Dingdong will be the pair of Aljur Abrenica and Kris Bernal fresh from their Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan. Mga tao ang papel nila rito.

Another sure-cast is Jean Garcia na tao rin ang gagampanang papel.

May nai-cast na bilang si Betty, ang ex girlfriend ni Fredo na magiging kalaban ni Dyesebel sa pag-ibig, at ang syokoy na in love naman kay Dyesebel ngunit as mentioned, hindi pa sila puwedeng mapangalanan. Ang tunay raw na wala pang final cast ay ang mga magsisiganap na mga taong dagat na kasama ni Dyesebel from Banak (ang sirena na kumupkop kay Dyesebel) to Diangga (ang sirenang reyna ng karagatan).

Arroyo Won't Mind Those Rallies!

President Arroyo will remain busy for the whole day Friday despite various protest rallies calling for her ouster including an inter-faith rally in the country's financial district.


Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the President will attend a mass oath-taking in Malacañang, a soft opening of Ocean Adventure Park in Manila and a series of inaugurations of various infrastructure projects of the government.

A radio dzMM report said Mrs. Arroyo was accompanied by Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, Speaker Prospero Nograles and general manager Dean Barbers of the Philippines Tourism Authority during the opening of the ocean park.

Lim was one of the political personalities who joined former president Joseph Estrada’s "unity walk" Thursday, which called for Mrs. Arroyo resignation.

What was Gretchen Barretto thinking?

...bratty, sensitive, touchy, pouty, moody, fearless, reckless, careless, full of rage, feisty, controlling, demanding, blunt, rough, outrageous, bitchy, daring, obsessive, tactless, vain, extravagant, flirty, a tease, extremely lustful, ridiculous, a mistress and a wondrous woman to myself most of the time. But I am also loving, caring, affectionate, thoughtful, hardworking, organized, neat, hilarious, playful, fabulous, genuine, unforgettable, fascinating, captivating, fashionable, alluring, stunning, a friend, a listener, a model, a goddess, a celebrity, a singer, an actress, an aunt, a sister, a mother, a girlfriend, a role-playing wife. A baby...

These are the adjectives which Gretchen Barretto uses in describing herself in the literature of her album Gretchen Barretto Unexpected which she herself executive-produced (with Malou N. Santos and Annabelle Regalado-Borja as executive producers for distribution, and Chito Ilagan as over-all album producer).

“Yes,” Gretchen said with a wide smile, “I am a mistress. It’s true, it’s a fact, it’s not a lie. But,” she added, keeping her fingers crossed, “I won’t be a mistress for long...”


For a (refreshing) change, even if Gretchen is caught in a web of endless controversies, Funfare refrained from asking her whether or not it’s true that, 1). she was driven away from home by her beloved Tonyboy Cojuangco (Gretchen already denied it an an earlier Funfare story), 2). she was being offered marriage by the dashing businessman being linked to her (Gretchen has also denied it), 3). she has been conferring with her lawyer about the subject of “alimony” (she was mum about the matter), 4). her daughter Dominique is mad at her because of her (Gretchen”s) indiscretions, and 5). she and Nadia Montenegro, whom Gretchen suspected of spreading the ugly gossip about and against her, had a violent confrontation at a Quezon City hotel where they reportedly threw not only harsh words at each other but also bottles of water (Gretchen refused to make any comment).

Instead, Funfare asked Gretchen what made her choose the 12 selections in her album (which turned “gold” only a few days after its release), and she very gladly obliged, agreeing to explain the significance of and singing a few lines from each song.

So what was Gretchen thinking while she was recording the 12 songs?

1. Fly Me To The Moon

...In other words, hold my hand; in other words, darling, kiss me. Fill my heart with song and let me sing forevermore. You are all I long for, all I worship and adore...

“Many years back, I saw a movie (title not mentioned) starring Richard Dreyfus as an old man who fell in love with a much younger woman, 30 years his junior. Then, he passed away. I fell in love with that movie because I could identify with the woman. That song was sung in the movie.”

2. A House is Not a Home

When I climb the stair and turn the key, oh please be there still in love with me...

Asked who she was thinking was on top of the stairs, Gretchen said, “Of course, Tony, Dominique and our little doggy Chuwawa.”

Does she still hold the key to that house?

“Oo naman!”

3. More Than You’ll Ever Know

Take my hand, we’ll walk awhile, we’ll talk awhile, feel my love, always there beside you; I love you more than you’ll ever know...

How often does she tell Tonyboy, “I love you!”?

“I don’t really say ‘I love you’ to Tony. I make him feel my love, I don’t just say it. You know, Tony and I have our way of saying ‘I love you’ to each other. We say, ‘A-Ya-Yo.’ We got it from Dominique. When she was a baby, she couldn’t say ‘I love you;’ she would say, ‘A-Ya-Yo.’ But for me, just saying ‘I love you’ is never enough. Pinaparamdam ko talaga kay Tony.”

4. Moon River (from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s starring Audrey Hepburn)

Moon river, wider than a mile, I’m crossin’ you in style some day...

“You know what my favorite line is from the song? This: Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way. Two drifters off to see the world; there’s such a lot of world to see, We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin‘ ‘round the bend...’ Beautiful, isn’t it?”

5. An Affair to Remember

Our love affair is a wondrous thing...our love was born with out first embrace...

So when did she and Tonyboy have their first embrace (they’ve been living together for almost 14 years)?

“I won’t tell you. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!” (Then, she proceeded to sing a few lines from Moment to Moment, theme song of the movie of the same title but not in the album: From moment to moment, every moment that I live, I live for every moment with you...)

6. Please Don’t Ask Me

...My first impulse is to run to your side; my heart’s not free and so I must hide. Please don’t ask me why I’m so in love with you...

Who is she running to?

“Guess who. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!”

Or is the song some kind of an appeal to...who?

“What do you think?”

7. More

More than you’ll ever know my arms long to hold you so, my life...

So whose arms does she long to hold in return?

“His arms!”

And then she sang a few more lines from the song: “But far beyond forever you’ll be mine; I know I’ve never lived before and my heart is very sure. No one else could love you more...”

8. I Will

...You know I love you still. Will I wait a lonely lifetime? If you want me to, I will...

I will, not “I do”?

“You know,” Gretchen said, a sad look crossing her lovely face (enhanced by Oil of Olay), “In the meantime, while I’m waiting to say ‘I do,’ all I can say is ‘I will.’ That’s enough for the meantime.”

9. An Unexpected Song

Now, no matter where I am; no matter what I do, I see your face appearing like an unexpected song, an unexpected song that only we are hearing...

“You know, putting out this album was unexpected, so this song (by Donald Black and Andrew Lloyd Webber) is the fitting title of the album. I first heard it being sung by Joe Mari Chan and Samantha Chavez. Joe Mari is my favorite singer. I find him very sexy because of his voice, and the heart and the emotion and the feelings that he put into his every song. That song really inspired me. Since then, Unexpected has become one of my favorite songs.”

Lately, Gretchen has been guesting in TV shows and promoting the album “live” in a mall tour.

“You know why? Well, I want to show everybody that I am really the one singing on the album. Sabi ng ibang tao kasi, inayos daw ang boses ko, Of course, not! Hindi ko raw boses ‘yon. Of course, not! You know, I’ve been singing since I was 10. You might wonder, why did I record an album only now? Because I’ve been busy doing movies and so many other things. As I’ve said, my decision to come up with an album was unexpected.”

10. All The Things You Are

You are the promised kiss of springtime that makes the lonely winter seem long; you are the breathless hush of evening that trembles on the brink of a lovely song...

Are the beautiful clothes, the expensive jewelry, the huge mansion, the high-class restaurants, the trips abroad, and all the trappings of wealth, power and fame all the things she is?

“No, they are not,” stressed Gretchen. “They are only mere icings; they are just material,” she added, looking down at her beautiful, silver shoes that must have cost quite an amount (good enough for a week’s supply of food for a family living under a bridge in this cruel city?). “I am like Cinderella.”

Told that she looked like a diamond in the sky, worth millions, Gretchen said, “I’m a survivor. You have to be stronger, you have to be a better person after surviving every struggle and every trial in your life. I’ve gone through a lot in my life and I am the sum total of all my experiences, sad and happy, good and bad. I have committed many mistakes...I’m only human, too, you know...and I’m thankful that the public has forgiven me and has accepted me for what I am — a sinner.”

11. Love Me For What I Am

We fell in love on the first night that we met, together we’ve been happy, I have very few regrets. The ordinary problems have not been hard to face. But lately little changes have been slowly taking place...

Asked what is so lovable about her, Gretchen said, “I think my being honest and sincere. What you see is what you get. There’s no pretension whatsoever. Do I have fangs? No, I won’t call them fangs. But I assure you that I fight for my rights especially kapag feeling ko inaapi na ako.”

12. Ikaw Lamang

Langit ay buhay sa tuwing ika’y hahagkan. Anong ligaya kapag ika’y mamasdan. Sa piling mo ang gabi tila araw; ikaw ang pangrap, ikaw lamang...

“It was Chito Ilacad, my album’s over-all producer, who suggested that I include this song as the finale. He said, ‘Kailangan may Tagalog song.’ I listened to the song, which happens to be one of Chito’s favorites, and I loved it, so...”

Asked which of the dozens of adjectives in the album’s literature best describes her, Gretchen broke into a lusty laughter.

“I’m a tease. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!”

And then, she ended the interview by singing another line from Moon River, as if singing to herself...

Old dream maker, you heart-breaker; wherever you’re goin’ I’m goin’ your way...

Hindi pakikinggan ng taumbayan

Sa kabila ng panibagong eskandalong bumabalot sa gobyernong Arroyo, nanindigan si Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo na wala nang insidenteng mangyayaring kagaya ng tagumpay na sinapit sa Edsa 1 at Edsa 2 dahil hindi ito matatanggap sa buong mundo.
Hindi natin kokontrahin ang ideyang ito ng administras­yong Arroyo dahil sila ang nasa posisyon at hawak nila ang kapangyarihan kaya’t dapat lamang sa aming palagay na maging positibo ang kanilang pananaw anumang aspeto sa ating lipunan ang pag-uusapan.
Subalit kung ganito na kainit ang sitwasyon sapagkat hindi lamang mga kritiko ng gobyerno ang nag-aalsa kundi ang maging ang dating mga kakampi nito ay nagpapahayag na rin ng disgusto sa kanyang liderato, hindi kaya kailangan na ring mag-isip-isip ng Pangulo at gumawa ng paraan upang mapahinahon ang grupo o sektor na kumukondena sa kanyang pamamahala?


Sa pagkakataong ito hindi na pupuwedeng idaan sa pagtataray o pagpapa-cute ang mga ibinabatong isyu dahil hindi na ito bumebenta sa taumbayan.
Ang dapat gawin ng gobyernong Arroyo sa ganito kainit na sitwasyong pampulitikal sa bansa ay pakinggan ang bawat panig at patunayang walang katotohanan ang mga alegasyong ibinabato sa kanyang liderato.
Hindi rin pupuwedeng idaan lamang sa paliwanagan ang lahat. Ang kailangan ay may maparusahang mga personaheng sangkot sa mga iregularidad. Sapagkat kung puro paliwanag at paghingi ng paumanhin lamang dadaanin ng gobyernong Arroyo ang kanilang mga atraso, hindi na ito pakikinggan ng sambayanang Filipino at paulit-ulit na hihingin ang pagbaba ni Pangulong Arroyo sa kapangyarihan.

Esperon: Military would not join inter-faith rally !

The Armed Forces chief of staff on Friday said the military will not join Friday’s inter-faith rally in Makati City even if the crowd grows to a million people.

Gen. Hermogenes Esperon said a million protesters calling for President Arroyo's ouster during Friday's rally will not matter as long as the protest is done peacefully.

“It doesn’t make a difference as long as things are done peacefully without violence. What important here is that everything is discussed civilly. Are they doing the right thing? Will that strengthen our democracy or the democratic processes? That’s important to us,” Esperon told reporters at Camp Aguinaldo.



“We will listen to our mandate, to people who will encourage [us] to stick to democratic processes and support democratic institutions. We are averse in supporting people who would destroy our democratic processes and institution. So regardless of numbers, what will matter is who supports democratic processes and institutions,” he added.

Esperon reiterated the military’s stand that it would not join any mass action that would bring down the government.

“The more that you call the military to intervene the more that you weaken democracy and i hope you still realize that democracy is what we regained in February ‘86. Let us not lose it, let us not weaken that what we gained,” he said.

Last February 25, during the commemoration of the 22nd anniversary of the EDSA People Power 1, top military and police officials staged a “Unity Walk” to show their solidarity in supporting the Arroyo administration.

The action dispelled reports that some military officials would defect and withdraw support for the President.

Esperon said there is no need to conduct a loyalty check because of the high morale of government troops.

“I do not expect them to be personally loyal to me but they are expected as they are doing to be performing their jobs and they are doing it very well,” he said, belittling a so-called manifesto from alleged junior officers in the military which called for Mrs. Arroyo's ouster.

Erap to Romulo Neri: Face the nation, tell the truth!

Former president Joseph Estrada called on former socioeconomic planning chief Romulo Neri to follow the lead of Rodolfo Noel "Jun" Lozada and "tell the truth" behind the national broadband network (NBN) deal.

In his speech after the Mass at the University of Makati, Estrada said that he can no longer remain silent with eveything that is happening around.

"Hindi na po ako makaitiis ngayon na magsawalang-kibo na lamang habang nakikita kong patuloy na pinagtatakpan at tinatago sa atin ang katotohanan," he said.


(I can no longer remain silent especially with the cover-ups that's been happening.)

He called on Neri and other government officials involved to come clean and "face the Filipino people" by revealing what they know about the scrapped government project with China's ZTE Corp.

"Nananawagan po ako sa mga opisyal ng gobyerno, lalo na kay Secretary Romulo Neri na alam kong isang marangal na tao, na ilahad na ang katotohanan at matapat kang humarap sa sambayanang Pilipino," he said.

(I call on government officials, especially Secretary Romulo Neri, who I know is an honorable man, to reveal the truth and face the Filipino people with honesty.)

"Tularan mo si Mr. Jun Lozada... kung magsasalita ka ng totoo, ang buong sambayanang Pilipino ay nasa likuran mo kaya't huwag kang matakot, at magiging isang bayani ka rin katulad ni Jun Lozada," he added.

(Be like Mr. Jun Lozada...if you'll speak the truth, the Filipino nation will be behind you so don't be afraid, you'll be a hero like Jun Lozada.)

"Ginoong Neri, nakikiusap kami sa inyo -- huwag kang matakot, nasa likuran mo kami dahil [kung hindi ka magsasalita]... hindi ka patitigilin ng konsensya mo hanggang sa huling hininga mo," Estrada added.

(Mr. Neri, we appeal to you -- don't be afraid, we're behind you...you're conscience will bother you until your last breath if you don't speak now.)

Estrada, who was surrounded by his allies in the opposition, also called on the people to take a stand and defend the truth.

"We have to join hands today and be one so we can ferret out the truth in government transactions. This is not just for me or for the opposition, but more importantly, for you our youth, who stand to inherit this nation," Estrada said to the crowd, which was composed mainly of students of the university.

"We do not want to leave behind a nation that is poor, that is weak, that is heavily indebted to any country -- and this future has been compromised because of the wrongdoings of their leaders today," he added.

"The truth must set us free for us to be able to chart our destiny and for our nation to move forward," he added.

Bacani to Arroyo, Neri: Say what you know
An estimated 1,000 people, meanwhile, attended the "Mass for Truth" at the Makati university.

Among those in attendance were Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, former senator Ernesto Maceda, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, lawyer Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel, Anakpawis Rep. Luis Beltran and several former members of the Estrada Cabinet.

In his homily, Novaliches Bishop Teodoro Bacani called on the President and Neri to speak up and "say what they know" about the ZTE-NBN deal.

Bacani took a swipe at what he called the Palace's varying stories on the P500,000 given to Lozada, as well as to Pampanga Gov. Ed Panlilio and other local officials back in October 2007.

"Naghihirap ang bayan pero maraming pera para pambusal sa nagsasabi ng katotohanan..." Bacani said in his homily.

(The country's suffering but there are funds to gag those who are telling the truth...)

The Novaliches bishop also criticized the President's "I'm sorry" speech after the "Hello Garci" scandal broke out in 2005.

Thursday's rally, according to organizers, is dry-run for the interfaith rally in Makati on Friday. Binay said that there will be more people expected in Friday's rally compared to previous anti-Arroyo rallies in the city.

Estrada to Arroyo: Resign
Earlier, Estrada joined former president Corazon Aquino and other groups in demanding the resignation of Mrs. Arroyo.

"Ayaw niya ipaakyat ang impeachment, hindi naman siya incapacitated, alangan namang mamatay siya. Anong naiwan? resignation. Eh di dapat she resign," said Estrada.

(She would not let impeachment push through, she’s not incapacitated, it’s improbable that she’ll die. What’s left? Resignation. Then she should resign.)

Estrada had earlier said that there were other legal steps for Mrs. Arroyo to resolve the current political crisis her administration is facing – including letting an impeachment process against her push through – so that she can respond to the accusation that have been hurled against her.

After more than six years of trial, an anti-graft court convicted of plunder the ousted president. President Arroyo however granted him executive clemency.

Estrada, when asked how to describe the Arroyo administration, said: "Ipinaglihi sa cover up (Conceived of cover-up)."

Estrada also said that he will join Friday’s rally after the United Opposition requested him to attend.

President Arroyo has been hounded by calls for her resignation due to alleged corruption by her administration.

The latest allegations of corruption to hit Mrs. Arroyo involve accusations her husband and a close political ally tried to get millions in kickbacks from an aborted national broadband network deal with ZTE.

The presidential palace has repeatedly denied the allegations and has stopped government officials involved in the deal from appearing before a Senate inquiry.

Civil society groups, left-wing solons and activist organizations as well as members of some religious organizations have also called for Arroyo’s resignation.

However, President Arroyo was given a boost after the influential Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines decided not to back mounting calls for her to go.

While many were expecting the church, considered the country’s moral voice, to call for Mrs. Arroyo's resignation, it instead condemned the "continuing culture of corruption" in government.

PUP Has Bomb Threat Before Jun Lozada Arrive

Nakakasa na ang programa para sa kilos-protesta ng mga estudyante ng Polytechnic University of the Philippines habang hinihintay si Jun Lozada Huwebes ng umaga.

Pero pasado alas-10, biglang tumunog ang bell. Ibig sabihin, kanselado na ang klase sa buong unibersidad.

Isinara rin kaagad ang main gate kaya takang-taka ang mga estudyante.

Sabi ng mga security guard, may bomb threat daw.


"SOP po namin once na-suspend ang klase, nagpapababa po kami tapos sinasara ang gate," ani Jay Telan, isang security officer ng sa PUP.

"Kailangan i-maximize po namin 'yung seguiridad na puro PUP [students] lang, pero baka sa dami po niyan eh may nakahalo na po," ani security guard Edwin Samson.

Tumindi ang tensyon sa pagitan ng mga estudyante at gwardia kaya nagkairingan at kinalampag ang gate.

Nasugatan ang estudyanteng nakitulak sa gate. Nagawang pigilan ng mga estudyante na muling maisara ang gate.

"Ang number one reason nila bakit nila ni-lock 'yung main gate ay para huwag papasukin ang mga estudyante. Huwag makapasok ang mga estudyante, huwag makapasok si Jun Lozada," ani Henry Ynaje, student leader sa PUP.

Nang dumating ang bomb squad, pati sila, hinarang ng mga estudyante.

Pinagsisipa pa ng estudyanteng ito ang sasakyan kaya muntik siyang masagasaan.

Pati back-up vehicle ng bomb squad, hinarang din.

"Wala kaming alam na meron ditong mga estudyante na nag-rarally. Ang tawag sa amin ay may bomb threat," ani Senior Police Officer 1 Modesto Pagaran ng bomb squad.

Maya-maya pa, dumating na si Jun Lozada at pinaulanan ng confetti.

"Kung may sasabog man ngayong umaga, ang sasabog dito sa PUP ay katotohanan," ani Lozada.

Pero sa kalagitnaan ng speech ng ZTE star witness, nawala ang sound system.

"Mukhang may taga-Malacañang dito. Pati kuryente n'yo, pinuputol," aniya.

Hinikayat ni lozada ang mga estudyante na sumama sa rally sa Makati sa Biyernes.

"Puwede ko bang asahan ang mga taga-PUP na samahan kami sa Ayala bukas ng hapon?" tanong ni Lozada, na sinagot naman ng "oo."

Halos 15 minuto lang ang itinagal ni lozada.

Nainis naman ang ibang estudyante dahil nakansela ang klase.

“Nakakainis po kasi nag-e-exam kami tapos bigla ititigil ang klase. Oo, tama ginagawa nila pero me karpaatan din kami makapag-aral,” sabi ng isang estudyante.

Ginalugad pa rin ng bomb squad ang buong PUP pero walang nakitang bomba.

PNP on Alert for Anti- Gloria Arroyo Protest

Philippine troops and police were on full alert for a protest rally against President Arroyo because of fears of attacks by Islamic militants or communist rebels, officials said on Thursday.

Organizers dismissed the threats as an attempt by security officials to scare people away from attending Friday's rally. They expect tens of thousands to join the protest in the Makati business district and demand Arroyo's ouster over a kickbacks scandal.

"We expect our forces to number 5,000," Manila police chief Geary Barias told local radio, adding that reinforcements were being brought in from neighboring provinces. He said police would be on full alert in the city from Thursday evening.

Maj. Gen. Fernando Mesa, the military commander for the Metro Manila region, told another radio station that troops and armored vehicles would be kept on standby at a military camp in the capital to reinforce police if needed.

He said the military was reacting to threats purportedly from the Abu Sayyaf group of militants and also from the communist New People's Army.

"We must all be wary of the unseen hands who may be using the current situation to foment hatred, distrust and chaos," said Lorelei Fajardo, a presidential palace spokeswoman.

"While we all enjoy the blessings of democracy, we must all protect the same from scheming groups or individuals who are bent on destroying our democratic way of life."

Mrs. Arroyo, who has been in power since 2001, is battling allegations of kickbacks in a $329 million telecommunications deal with China's ZTE Corp. She and her husband have been named in an ongoing Senate inquiry into the deal but no one has offered any evidence linking them to kickbacks.

Political analysts however say she does not appear to be in any danger yet. She commands a huge majority in the House of Representatives and has the support of the military.

The powerful Catholic church declined earlier this week to join calls for her resignation.

3-2 For Santa Lucia Realtors

Isang panalo na lang ang kailangan ng Sta. Lucia Realty!
Naitakas ng tropa ni coach Boyet Fernandez ang Game 5 kagabi, 88-76, sa kanilang championship showdown ng Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdogs sa 2007-08 SMART Philippine Basketball Associa­tion Philippine Cup sa Araneta Coliseum sa Quezon City.
Parehong pilay ang dalawang teams sa laro dahil sa one-game suspension na ipinataw kina James Yap ng Purefoods at Joseph Yeo ng Sta. Lucia, na kapwa nabigyan ng flagrant foul 2.


Sa unang dalawang quarter ay tila nagtatantiyahan lang ang dalawang team. Nag-init ang karburador ng Giants na nagpa­kawala ng 15-4 na atake, pero sinagot naman ng Real­tors ng sariling 9-0 run.
Natapos ang first half na lamang ng katiting na dalawang puntos ang Purefoods, 39-37.
Malalagkit ang depensang ipinakita ng magka­bilang panig patunay ang low scoring ballgame.
“We are here in the finals because of our defense, and I think it’s sho­wing right now. We stopped Purefoods from reaching 80,” ani coach Fernandez.
Nagsimulang kumalas ang Realtors sa third quarter sa kabuuang 25 points na kinamada kontra sa 11 ng Giants para sa 62-50 kalamangan tungo sa fourth.
Sa kalagitnaan ng hu­ling canto, sinubukang maghabol ng Giants sa pamamagitan ng tatlong tres na magkakasunod na pinakawalan nina Chico Lanete at Noy Castillo, pero solo-katawan na binuhat ni veteran Marlou Aquino ang Realtors.
Lahat ng 12 puntos ni Aquino ay kinamada niya sa fourth, walo rito ay sagot sa paghahabol ng Giants.
“We’ll be ready for that,” ani Fernandez sa pagbabalik-laro ni Yap sa Game 6 sa Miyerkules sa Big Dome rin.
Nanguna pa rin si Kelly Williams sa kabuuang 20 points at 16 rebounds para sa Realtors. Nagdag­dag si Dennis Espino ng 15, at may 14 pa si Nelbert Omolon.

Marian Rivera, Requested By Dolphy in a New Movie

Nasa Hong Kong kami ngayon ka­sama ng ilang kaibigan. Bago kami lu­mipad pa-HK ay may nakapagbulong sa amin na magsisimula na ang shooting ng Dolphy-Vic Sotto movie (na wala pang pamagat).
Sa Marso 28 na ang first shooting day ng comedy event na ito na produced ng RVQ Productions (ni Mang Dolphy), M-Zet Productions (ni Bossing) at APT Entertainment (ni Mr. Tony Tuviera).
Plantsado na raw ang script at handang-handa nang gumiling ang ka­mera ni Direk Tony Y. Reyes (nagdirek ng blockbuster Enteng Ka­bisote series ni Vic).
Bukod sa dalawang hari ng komedya, kasama rin sa cast ng pelikula si Marian Rivera.
Ang dinig namin ay mismong si Mang Dolphy ang nag-request na kunin si Marian para sa pelikula nila ni Vic.


Kung hindi kami nagkakamali ay si Marian ang gaganap na love interest ni Bossing sa movie. Nang banggitin daw ito kay Marian ay natuwa ang dalaga at na-excite na kasali siya sa pelikula.
Kahit maliwanag na sina Dolphy at Vic ang ibinebenta ng pelikula ay sigurado raw na maganda ang role ni Marian at importante ito sa istorya.
Malamang magla­gare si Marian sa Vic-Dolphy movie kapag nagsimula na ang taping niya para sa Dyesebel ng GMA.

GLORIA ARROYO UMAMIN NA, NANLOLOKO PA -- PING LACSON

Isang malaking panloloko na naman sa taongbayan ang palusot ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo na napilitan siyang pirmahan ang ZTE-National Broadband Network (ZTE-NBN) contract dahil nagkasubuan na kahit alam niyang may bahid ito ng iregularidad.
Inamin kamakailan ni Arroyo na noong gabi ng bisperas ng pirmahan sa kontrata ng broadband project ay itinawag sa kanya ang tungkol sa “katiwaliang bumabalot” dito. Subalit hindi na umano magagawang kanselahin pa ito noong gabing iyon sa katwirang ibang bansa ang kausap sa kontrata.


Kagyat namang nagpahayag ng reaksyon si Sen. Panfilo ‘Ping’ Lacson sa paliwanag ni Arroyo na aniya’y mahirap lunukin at tanggapin dahil malinaw na lantarang panloloko na naman ito sa taongabayan.
“Mahirap lunukin ‘yung explanation niya, niloloko tayo sa kanyang explanation, alam niyang may mali at maanomalya ‘yung kontrata bakit pa niya itinuloy?” diin pa ni Lacson.
Ayon pa kay Lacson, ang pag-amin umano ng Pangulo na maanomalya ang kontrata ay isang lantarang paglaglag na rin sa mga opisyal nito na todo ang pagtatanggol at pagsasabing malinis o above board ang naturang kontrata. Lalo lamang umano lumaki ang problema at tuluyan nang nagkabuhol-buhol ang kanilang mga pagsisinungaling.
Dahil dito, pinabababalik ni Lacson sa Senado ang lahat ng mga opisyal na nagsasabing above board ang kontrata upang humingi ng paumanhin sa harap ng mga senador ukol sa kanilang pagsisinungaling. Partikular na nais pabalikin sa Senado ni Lacson ay si Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Secretary Leandro Mendoza gayundin si Commission on Higher Education (CHED) chairman Romulo Neri.
Ayon kay Lacson kung hindi umano ito gagawin ng mga nabanggit na opis­yal na humarap sa Senado under oath ay hindi na kailangan pang mananatili ang mga ito sa puwesto kundi magbitiw na dahil sa lantarang pagsisinungaling sa sambayanang Pilipino.
RESIGN NA!
Samantala, sinabi ni Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Teddy Casiño na ang tuluyan nang pagbibitiw ng Pangulo sa puwesto ang tanging nalalabing opsiyon nito bago pa man humantong na siya’y kaladkarin ng taongbayan palabas ng Malacañang.
Ayon kay Casino, ang ginawang pag-amin ni Arroyo ukol sa maanomal­yang ZTE-National Broadband Network deal ay mas higit pang malala kaysa sa ginawa niyang “I am sorry” speech noong 2005 sa kainitan ng “Hello Garci” scandal.
“The President’s admission about the anomalies in the NBN-ZTE deal is worse than her ‘I am sorry’ speech of 2005,” ani Casiño. “A president who insults the nation’s intelligence with such a blatant lie has no right to be in power. President Arroyo should resign immediately or face ouster from an outraged public.”
Sa panig ni Sen. Mar Roxas, minsan na umanong nagkasala ang Pangulo sa taongbayan noong pumutok ang “Hello Garci” scandal at ngayon ay muling inamin ni Arroyo ang pagkakamali matapos pirmahan nito ang NBN-ZTE deal kahit alam niyang maanomalya.
Dahil dito, mahirap na aniyang pagkatiwalaan si Arroyo at kuwestiyonable na ang sensiridad nitong hindi na maulit ang ganitong mga pagkakasala.
“Bakit tayo ngayon maniniwala na pagkatapos ng pag-amin ng Pangulo ay magkakaroon ng hustisya na hindi na mauulit ang mga ganitong anomalya?” ani Roxas.
GMA WALANG KAWALA
Ito ang nagkakaisang pahayag nina Lacson, Se­nate majority floor leader Francis Pangilinan at mino­rity leader Aquilino ‘Nene’ Pimentel Jr., sa pag-amin ni Arroyo.
Ayon kay Pangilinan, binansagang Mr. Noted at dating kaalayado ni Arroyo, kahit anong depensa ang gawin ng Pangulo malinaw aniyang panlilinlang ang bagong estratehiyang naisip ng Malacañang dahil nalulubog sa eskandalo ito.
“What GMA did or did not do after she learned that something was wrong with the ZTE-NBN deal on the eve of its signing is the smoking gun that links her to the scandal. That’s also what Secretary Romulo Neri doesn’t want to supply,” ani Pimentel.
“Nagpapatunay na si GMA ay walang konsensiya, wala sa kanya ang sentimiyento ng bayan. Biro mo umamin na alam na niya na may mali ang broadband contract, pinabayaan pa rin mapirmahan at 5 months later saka na kunyari kinansela. Why delay? She should explain, lalong magdududa na ang tao na may hinihintay na mangyayari muna bago kinansela daw,” ayon pa kay Pimentel.
Sa panig ni Lacson, wala na aniyang kawala si Arroyo sa broadband scandal dahil malinaw ang ginawa nitong pag-eskapo patungong China para saksihan ang contract signing gayong naka-confine noon sa ospital si First Gentleman Mike Arroyo na isinailalim sa triple bypass operation.
“Unang-una kung nalaman niyang flawed o may problema, eh bakit witness siya sa signing. Ano mas magandang dahilan kung ‘di siya tumuloy kundi health ni FG. Tumuloy siya despite the problem sa kontrata,” ani Lacson.

ABS-CBN executives to be charged for ULTRA stampede

Nakatakdang magsampa ng mga kaso ang state prosecutors laban sa ilang opisyales at empleyado ng ABS-CBN Brodcasting Corp. kaugnay ng ULTRA stampede na naganap sa first anniversary ng noontime show na Wowowee noong February 4, 2006, kung saan 74 na katao ang namatay at marami pang iba ang nasaktan.

Ang mga kasong isasampa ng Department of Justice (DOJ) laban sa ilang executives ng ABS-CBN ay reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicide at multiple physical injuries.

Ang desisyon na ito ay naganap matapos ibasura ng DOJ ang motion for reconsideration ng ABS-CBN upang pigilan ang paghahain ng criminal charges.

Kabilang sa sasampahan ng kaso sina ABS-CBN Executive Vice President Charo Santos-Concio at Senior Vice President Cory Vidanes, ang Head of Security na si Cipriano Luspo.


Kasama rin ang staff ng Wowowee na sina Morly Stewart Nuevo, executive producer; Harold James Nuevo, assistant producer; Norbert Vidanes, director; Francisco Rivera, location manager; Mel Feliciano, assistant director; Jean Owen Garcia, floor director; Rey Cayabyab, at assistant location manager; at ang Ultralink Goldlink Security Services, Inc.

Sinabi ng mga akusado, sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga abogado, na hindi pa kumpleto ang premilinary investigation ng DOJ sa kaso.

Dinidinig pa raw kasi ng DOJ ang iba pang reklamo laban kina dating Pasig City Mayor Vicente Eusebio, dating City Police Chief Superintendent Raul Medina, at iba pang lokal na opisyales ng pamahalaan.

Sa pamamagitan ng tatlong pahinang order, sinabi ng DOJ na ang isinasagawang hearing sa ibang complainants at ang mosyon ng ABS-CBN sa mataas na hukuman ay hindi makakapigil sa pagsasampa ng mga kaso.

ABS-CBN APPEALS. Matatandaan na noong January 29, 2008 ay ibinasura ng Supreme Court ang mosyon ng ABS-CBN na kumukuwestiyon sa resulta ng preliminary investigation ng DOJ kaugnay ng ULTRA stampede.

Ang desisyon na ito ng mataas na hukuman ay magbibigay daan para sa pagpapatuloy ng proceedings, na nangangahulugan na maaari na ngayong isampa ang mga kaso laban sa opisyales ng ABS-CBN sa mababang korte.

Sa 22-page resolution na isinulat ni Associate Justice Conchita Carpio Morales, hindi sumang-ayon ang mataas na hukuman sa argumento ng petitioner na ang preliminary investigation ng DOJ ay "biased and unfounded."

Hindi rin sinang-ayunan ng mataas na hukuman ang opinyon ng petitioner na hinatulan na ni Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez ang kaso sa pamamagitan ng mga pahayag niya sa media. Ayon sa resolution, ang mga pangambang ito ng petitioner ay "speculatory" lamang.

Hindi rin sumang-ayon ang mataas na hukuman sa claim ng petitioner na walang kapangyarihan ang justice department na magsagawa ng criminal at preliminary investigation nang sabay.

Base sa records mula sa mataas na hukuman, ang National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)—isang ahensiya sa ilalim ng DOJ—ang nagsagawa ng criminal investigation samantalang isang department panel naman ang nagsagawa ng preliminary investigation.

Ngunit ang desisyon na ito ay hindi pa final. May labinlimang araw pa ang ABS-CBN upang mag-file ng motion for reconsideration.

Hindi maaaring magpatuloy ang DOJ sa pagsasampa ng mga kaso hangga't hindi pa final at executory ang desisyon.

UNFAIR AND SUSPECT. Binatikos naman ng ABS-CBN ang desisyon ng DOJ na ipagpatuloy ang pagsasampa ng mga kaso laban sa network executives na inakusahan kaugnay ng ULTRA stampede.

Ayon sa official statement ng ABS-CBN na inilabas sa media: "We find the DOJ's actions unfair and suspect. There is no logical reason why the DOJ would charge ABS-CBN and exclude government officials from the case. It is painfully obvious to us that we are being singled out and subjected to harassment unrelated to the ULTRA."

Ngunit sa kabila nito, ayon sa ABS-CBN, "we will remain committed to the Truth."

Ayon pa sa ABS-CBN, ang stampede naganap sa unang anibersaryo ng Wowowee "was a tragic accident that still brings us Kapamilyas untold sorrow and grief.

"But we have faced it the only way we know how: by accepting responsibility and personally offering our profoundest apologies to the families of every single life lost. Even now, ABS-CBN provides aid and lifelong assistance to the relatives of the victims.

Sinabi rin ng ABS-CBN na "...through the 71 Dreams Foundation, ABS-CBN provides education and livelihood to the victims' families that have become our own."

Dagdag pa ng Kapamilya network, ang responsibilidad nila ay sa mga pamilya ng biktima at sa publiko.

People Power , Alive Again!

Pinatunayan ng hiwa-hiwalay na kilos protesta laban sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sa paggunita sa ika-22 taong anibersaryo ng EDSA 1 na buhay na buhay pa ang People Power.
Ito ang kapwa pahayag nina Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Teddy Casiño at Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) Secretary General Renato Reyes nang makatuntong ang mga ito sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon sa sa Mendiola simula noong 2005.
Ang Mendiola ay idineklara ni dating Manila Mayor Lito Atienza bilang “no rally zone” sa gitna “Hello Garci” scandal su­balit binuksan ito ni Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim sa mga raliyista tuwing weekend at pista opisyal.
Bukod sa Mendiola, sinubukan din ng Akbayan party-list group sa pangunguna ng kanilang kinatawan sa Kamara na si Rep. Risa Hontiveros na magsagawa ng kilos-protesta sa EDSA Shrine sa kabila ng mahigpit na pagbabantay ng Philippine National Police (PNP).


Ayon kay Casiño na hindi mailarawan ang kasi­yahan dahil muling nakatuntong sa Mendiola, ang kaliwa’t kanang kilos protesta laban sa administrasyon ni Arroyo kahapon ay indikasyon na hindi totoong pagod na ang mga tao sa people power.
“Hangga’t may nasasamantala at nang-aabuso sa kanilang kapangyarihan, mabubuhay ang people power,” ani Casiño.
Sinabi naman ni Reyes na taliwas ito sa inaakala ng Malacañang na sawa na ang mga tao sa people power.
Patunay dito, ayon kay Reyes ang communal action ng ipinapakita ng iba’t ibang sektor ng lipunan tulad ng paglabas sa lansangan ng mga estudyante para kalampagin ang corrupt government.
Mendiola ninamnam
Ninamnam nang husto ng mga raliyista ang pagka­kataon na makatapak sa Mendiola kung saan kabilang sa nagtipun-tipon ang mga miyembro ng grupong Bayan, Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), League of Filipino Students (LFS), Courage, Gabriela, Kada­may, Migrante, Youth-Act Now, Anakpawis at iba pa.
Sumama rin sa naturang pagtitipon at nagmartsa pa si dating Vice President Teofisto Guingona kasama sina Anakpawis Rep. Crispin Beltran at Rafael Mariano ng Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas.
Sa pambihirang pagka­kataon ay walang nangyaring girian, tulakan at paluan sa pagitan ng mga demonstrador at mga pulis at gaya ng nakasaad sa permit, dakong alas-6 ng gabi ay matiwasay na nilisan ng mga raliyista ang Mendiola saka muling nagmartsa at nagsagawa ng torch parade na sinabayan ng noise barrage sa palibot ng komunidad patungong España sa Sampaloc kung saan tuluyang naghiwa-hiwalay ang mga ito.
Nagkabiglaan sa EDSA
Sa Edsa Shrine, nabigla na lamang ang mga nagbabantay na pulisya nang sabay-sabay na sumulpot mula sa iba’t ibang lugar ang mga raliyista sa kalagitnaan ng misa sa pagdiriwang ng ika-22 anibersaryo ng EDSA Revolution na dinaluhan nina dating Pangulong Fidel Ramos at Vice President Noli de Castro.
Ang mga raliyista mula sa grupong AKBAYAN at Laban ng Masa ay bigla umanong sumulpot sa may flyover at ang ilan naman ay galing ng Cubao.
Ayon sa pulisya mahigpit ang kautusan sa kanila na huwag palalapitin sa EDSA Shrine Monument ang mga raliyista kaya nagkaroon ng tensyon sa paligid ng EDSA Shrine sa pagsulpot ng mga raliyista na armado ng mga placard na nagsasaad ng “GMA Resign.”
Alas-5 ng hapon ay parang bulang nawala ang mga raliyista sa EDSA Shrine na napag-alamang tumuloy sa Ateneo University kung saan ay nagdaos ng misa para sa katotohanan.
Misa sa Baclaran
Kaalinsabay ng mga pagkilos sa Mendiola at EDSA gayundin sa iba pang siyudad sa bansa, nagdaos naman ng misa sa Baclaran Church kung saan nanguna sa mga duma­lo sina dating Pangulong Corazon Aquino at broadband scandal star witness Rodolfo ‘Jun’ Lozada at ang kapatid nitong si Carmen gayundin sina dating senador Franklin Drilon, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, Sen. Noynoy Aquino, Gina de Venecia, mga lider ng Black & White Movement at brothers ng De La Salle University.
Dakong alas-tres ng hapon kahapon ng magsimula ang misa sa pangunguna ni Fr. Joseph Joey Echano na humimok sa taumbayan na kumilos na kaugnay sa mga nalalantad na katiwalian sa bansa.
“Ang apoy sa impiyerno ay naghihintay para sa mga nagsasawalang kibo lalo na sa panahon ng krisis,” paalala ni Father Echano.
Nang matapos ang misa, sinindahan naman ni Mrs. Aquino ang kandila ng katotohanan bago ito nagbigay ng pahayag na sinundan naman ni Lozada.
Nang tumayo sa pulpito ng simbahan si Lozada ay nagpalakpakan at nagtayuan pa ang mga tao.
Sinabi ni Lozada na sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon ng bayan, sa kabutihan sa puso ng bawat mamamayan magsisimula ang tunay na pagkilos para sa pagbabago ng bansa.
“Ang tunay na Pilipino ay nagsasabi ng totoo, ang tunay na Pilipino ay nagsisilbi para sa totoo at maraming Pilipino ang magtatanggol sa katotohanan,” ani Lozada.
Diwa ng EDSA ipinaalala
Samantala, pinaalalahanan ni Lingayen Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz ang publiko hinggil sa tunay na diwa ng EDSA Revolution.
Ayon kay Cruz, maraming maling interpretasyon sa tunay na pakahulugan ng People Power, gaya na lamang ang sinasabi ng ilan na isa itong masamang karanasan na hindi na dapat maulit pa sa bansa.
Nilinaw ni Cruz na ang people power ay ang kapangyarihan ng nagkakaisang sambayanan at hindi ng armas o yaman.
Ito, aniya, ay ang kahanga-hangang moral power ng taumbayan para labanan ang talamak na graft and corruption sa gobyerno, at ang mga hindi na masikmurang opisyal ng pamahalaan.
Ang people power, ayon pa kay Cruz, ay pagpapakita na ang boses ng sambayanan ang dapat mangibabaw sa bansa at hindi ang Malacañang o ang Armed Forces of the Philippines o maging ang Philippines National Police.

Gretchen Barretto, Aminadong Mistress

Mamaya sa The Ricky Lo Exclusives ay deretsahang sinabi ni Gretchen Baretto na isa siyang mistress.
Nakalagay rin sa kanyang Unexpected album ang kanyang saloobin, at sinabi rin niyang isa siyang mistress. Sa prologue nito, sinabi niyang, “I am bratty, sensitive, touchy, pouty, moody, fearless, reckless, careless, full of rage, feisty, controlling, demanding, blunt, rough, outrageous, bitchy, daring, obsessive, tactless, vain, extra­vagant, flirty, a tease, extremely lustful, ridiculous, a mistress and a wondrous woman to myself of the times.”
Pero mas naintriga kami sa mga pinasala­matan niya na itinutu­ring niyang inspirasyon sa buhay.


Nanguna siyempre sina Tonyboy at Dominique at sinundan ng kapa­tid niyang si Marjorie Barretto.
Say ni Gretchen, “…Marjorie & her kept man which makes him my kept brother in law :)”
Kasama sa pinas­lamatan niya sina Claudine at Raymart Santiago at mga malalapit niyang kaibigan gaya nina Kuya Boy Abunda, Bettina Aspillaga, ang mag-asawang Richard Gomez at Lucy Torres, at Douglas Quijano.
Bakit kaya hindi kasama ang iba pa niyang kapatid at ang magulang niya?

Shocking Revelations About Gretchen Barretto and Nadia Montenegro

Erstwhile best friends Gretchen Barretto and Nadia Montenegro’s word war has gone overboard. It was triggered by Nadia’s allegedly texting their common friends fabricated stories about Tony Boy Cojuangco throwing Greta out of their mansion because of her rumored affair with businessman Dodie Puno.

They reportedly had a face-to-face encounter in Rembrandt last Feb. 22, which only aggravated the situation. Supposedly with them in the room were Dodie, Boy Asistio (Nadia’s longtime partner), Tanya Montenegro and a relative of Dodie’s.


An insider recounts for us juicy parts of what supposedly transpired that fateful afternoon. It could well be one of RP show biz’s historical, este, hysterical moments:

Nadia shouted at Greta, “Baboy ka!” Greta fired back, “Mas baboy ka! And then she blurted out one of Nadia’s darkest secrets which stunned Boy Asistio. (Clue: It involves an actor with foreign blood who’s making a comeback.)

Boy (who likes gambling) looked liked he lost the biggest gamble of his life. He was advised that maybe Nadia needed professional help for the sake of their kids, that she seemed to have a bipolar disorder. My source also says, “Students pa si Greta and Nadia ay may lihim na inggit na si Nadia kay Greta na dala-dala niya until now.”

My source adds: Greta loves Tonyboy but she’s thrilled about Dodie’s marriage proposal. Tonyboy also wants to marry Greta but his annulment hasn’t come through. Until that happens, Tonyboy will just put up with Greta’s partying and casual flirtations. His only condition is that she’s back home when their daughter Dominique wakes up.

Greta and Nadia’s case reminds me of what my Mom used to say: “Mag-ingat sa mga ’di mo kilala. Pero mas mag-ingat sa mga taong kilala mo na.”

Aquino, Lozada lead ‘Mass for Truth and Accountability’

People power is not dead, according to the parish priest in Baclaran in his homily at Monday’s “mass for Truth and Accountability” to commemorate the 22nd anniversary of the first people power revolt that ousted former president Ferdinand Marcos.

"Tama na sobra na kumilos na [Enough is enough, act now]," said Father Joey Echano, one of 10 priests concelebrating the mass attended by personalities in politics, civil society and business, led by former president Corazon Aquino.


"Hindi patay ang people power...ito ay sisibol nang mas may lakas at
kapangyarihan [People power is not dead, it will rise stronger]," Echano added, adding that the revolution must start from within.

"Kailangan ng katotohanan upang tayo ay umunlad. Walang tunay na
kaunlaran kung walang katotohanan, [We need the truth to progress. There is no real progress if there is not truth]," Echano said.

Aquino, in her trademark yellow dress, was seated beside Rodolfo Lozada Jr., the key witness in the national broadband network controversy.

Also present were former Senate president Franklin Drilon, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim; Gina De Venecia, wife of ousted Speaker Jose De Venecia; Ramon del Rosario of the Makati Business Club; Edward Go, chairman of the National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections (Namfrel); Leah Navarro of the Black and White movement; Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo and Parañaque Representative Roilo Golez.

22 years after President Marcos , Filipinos still Unhappy

TODAY marks 22 years since the fall of President Ferdinand Marcos and although the economy has improved the lives of many, politics remains dominated by money, patronage and corruption, analysts say.

With the media often drawing comparisons between Marcos and the current President Macapagal-Arroyo, analysts believe people have become disillusioned with a political system that is fundamentally flawed and only benefits the few.

“People today don’t have the same fire in their eyes as they did 22 years ago,” said Enrique Esteban, a political analyst with the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P), in Pasig City.


“Twice now they have been called out onto the streets, first to throw out Marcos and later Joseph Estrada. They were promised change and an end to corruption, but nothing changed.”

This absence of “fire” was notable after Estrada was last year sentenced to life in jail for massive corruption. There were fears his supporters would take to the streets in protest �" but in the event the reaction was largely muted.

He was pardoned shortly after �" again to little public reaction.

Mired in yet another corruption scandal, Mrs. Arroyo is facing renewed calls for her resignation from a fragmented political opposition and a divided Roman Catholic Church and business community.

Mrs. Arroyo may not be the most loved leader the country has ever had but without any credible alternative, she is expected to see her term through to its end in 2010.

Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the fall of Marcos by the so-called People Power Revolution and rallies are expected to be held throughout Manila demanding Mrs. Arroyo’s resignation.

When Marcos was overthrown on Feb. 25, 1986, he left a country on the brink of bankruptcy.

In comparison the Philippine economy grew 7.3 percent last year, the best performance in 31 years, while inflation stands at a 20-year low and the budget deficit is the lowest in 10 years, due largely to Arroyo policies.

Yet while Mrs. Arroyo can point to the economy as one of her major achievements, she is perceived by many as overseeing widespread electoral fraud during the 2004 presidential election, of being corrupt and turning a blind eye to human rights abuses.

“Since Marcos, little has changed in terms of the way the country is run,” said Edmund Tanya, a political scientist with the University of Santo Tomas.

“Family dynasties are still the major force in Philippine politics.

“Many Filipinos have become tired of street politics as nothing fundamentally changes.

“The church is desperately looking for another Cardinal Jaime Sin, who was one of the key figures in the People Power Revolution, and the middle class, who were so vocal 22 years ago, and are simply packing their bags and leaving.

“As for the opposition, there will be presidential elections in two years’ time, so no one is prepared to stick his or her neck out now.”

Antonio Abaya, a political analyst and newspaper columnist, agreed, saying “the families still rule while money, corruption and greed have become an entrenched part of the political system.”

After 20 years in power, many of them under martial law, Marcos was finally ousted after the military split and joined more than one million people in angry protests on the streets of Manila.

For her part, Mrs. Arroyo has survived three impeachment attempts, a military revolt and an attempted coup.

According to Abaya, people have grown “tired of the political noise.”

“Unlike 1986, the middle class are now leaving in droves as they see no future in the country, at least while the political system remains in the hands of the elite families.

“The church too is having a problem as it no longer has the likes of Cardinal Sin, who could bring the church together and speak with one voice.

“And without a recognizable opposition figure to rally around, the movement against Arroyo is confined to some church leaders, civil society and leftist groups.”

The latest corruption allegation against Mrs. Arroyo involves a now-defunct $329-million national broadband network deal with China’s state-run ZTE Corp.

Mrs. Arroyo cancelled the deal amid claims her husband and a close political ally put pressure on the government to approve the overpriced contract in order to collect $130 million in kickbacks.

They deny the claims, but the Senate has launched an inquiry

Last Episode of Marimar will be Live

Star-studded at masaya ng 56th birthday party ni Ma’am Wilma Galvante (SVP for Entertainment ng GMA 7) nu’ng Biyernes sa mezzanine ng Imperial Palace Suites.
Present ang pamilya ni Ma’am Wilma, mga kaibigan niya at kasamahan sa Kapuso network. Puno ang venue sa dami ng GMA stars kaya tuwang-tuwa ang birthday girl.


Dinatnan namin doon sina Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, Paolo Contis, Alessandra de Rossi, Tita Annabelle Rama, Tito Douglas Quijano at iba pang bigating talent ma­nagers.
Magkasamang duma­ting ang magkaibigang Katrina Halili at Cristine Reyes. Katabing mesa namin ang mag-sweetheart na Dra. Vicki Belo at Dr. Hayden Kho, Jr.
Si Marky Cielo ang ka-table ni Lovi Poe dahil late dumating si Jolo Revilla kasama sina Sen. Bong Revilla at Lani Mercado.
Sabay dumating sina Janno Gibbs at Bing Loyzaga. Nahilingang umawit si Janno at nag-duet sila ni Dr. Hayden ng The Way You Look Tonight na paborito ni Ma’am Wilma.
Kumanta rin sina Ricky Davao, Eula Valdes, Lovi Poe, Tyron Pe­rez, Rita Iringan (ng Su­garpop) at Lhar Santiago (ng 24 Oras).
Nasa isang table ang Kamandag girls na sina Maxene Magalona, Ehra Madrigal at Jewel Mische. Humabol sa party si Richard Gutierrez at naki-join ito sa kanila.
Dumating din sina Tito Eddie & Raymond Gu­tierrez, Iza Calzado, Wendell Ramos, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Rhian Ramos, Bianca King, Paolo & Bubbles Paraiso, Donita Rose, Joseph Bitangcol, Anjo & Jackie Yllana at marami pang iba.
Hindi nag-abot sina Alessandra at Jeremy Marquez dahil late nang dumating si Jeremy at nakaalis na si Alessandra. Hindi kasama ni Ms. Lucy Torres ang mister niyang si Richard Gomez.
Umapir din sa party si Ruffa Gutierrez para bumati kay Ma’am Wilma mereseng Kapamilya siya at hindi Kapuso. Akala ng marami ay dumating si Angel Locsin, ‘yun pala ay si Glaiza de Castro. Sobrang kamukha ni Glaiza si Angel sa ayos at itsura niya nu’ng gabing ‘yon.
Isa sa mga aligaga sa party ay si Mother Lily Monteverde. Hindi nagbu-ballroom dancing si Mother kaya ‘representative’ niya ang anak na si Ms. Roselle Monteverde-Teo sa special production number ng mga ‘powerful women’ of GMA.
Kasama si Mother Ricky Reyes ay tig-iisang DI (dance instructor) sina Ma’am Wilma, Tita Marivin Arayata, Tita Redgie Acuña-Magno, Ms. Darling de Jesus, Ms. Gigi Santiago-Lara at Ms. Roselle at sama-sama silang humataw ng swing, cha-cha, rumba, foxtrot, at iba pang ballroom chuva.
Hindi kasali sa ballroom number si Tita Lilybeth Rasonable dahil mas gusto niya raw mag-solo. Ganadong magsisayaw sa dance floor sina Direk Joel Lamangan, Direk Manny Valera at Tito Butch Francisco habang tumutugtog ang live band.
***
May ‘eksena’ sa birthday party ni Ma’am Wilma dahil dumating ang manager ni Angel Locsin na si Becky Aguila. Sinamahan ni Becky sa party ang isa niya pang alaga na si Jennylyn Mercado.
Isa-isang bineso ni Becky ang mga GMA executive na nandu’n. Sabi sa amin ni Tita Avin, matagal nang nagte-text sa kanya si Becky at sinasabing panahon na para magkabati sila ng mga GMA execs na sumama ang loob sa kanya dahil sa paglipat ni Angel sa kabilang istasyon.
Si Tita Redgie ang pinakahuling nilapitan ni Becky para batiin. In fairness ay bineso-beso siya ng dating program manager ng mga show ni Angel sa Siyete.
Naging very civil ang Kapuso executives kay Becky.
Dayalog sa amin ni Ma’am Wilma, “I really wanted to see Jennylyn and appreciate her coming to my party. It’s okay na kasama niya si Becky. Everyone naman is welcome, eh!”
May show pa si Jen sa Zirkoh-Timog that night. Bago siya umalis sa party ay pinakanta muna siya. Killing Me Softly ang ina­wit ni Jen, na ewan kung dedicated sa ama ng ipinagbubuntis niya na si Patrick Garcia.
Nakasabay namin sila ni Becky pababa ng hagdan ng Imperial. Inalalayan namin ang buntis na si Jen dahil hirap siyang humakbang sa suot niyang sapatos na mataas ang heels.
In fairness ay ang gandang preggy ni Jen at muk­hang girl ang magi­ging anak nila ni Patrick.
***
Nabitin sa pag-inom ng red wine si Direk Joyce Bernal dahil may ibang lakad pa sila ni Dingdong Dantes nu’ng gabing ‘yon. May party raw kasi sa bahay na pinagteteypingan nila ng Marimar sa Bulacan at imbitado sila ni Dingdong.
Nabanggit sa amin ni Direk Joyce na sa Marso 7 na ang last taping day nila ng Marimar.
Live ang finale episode nila sa Marso 14 kaya kaabang-abang ang pagtatapos ng toprated teledrama ng Siyete.
Hindi pa sa Marimar magtatapos ang tamba­lang Dingdong at Marian dahil si Dingdong pa rin ang magiging kapareha ni Marian sa Dyesebel.
Dyesebel ang bagong ididirek na show ni Bb. Joyce after Marimar. Kinumpirma niya sa amin na si Dingdong ang gaganap bilang Fredo, ang love interest ng sirenang si Dyesebel.

Gloria Says: No One Can Force Me to Resign

President Arroyo Sunday said no one can force her to resign her post amid the numerous controversies hounding her administration and the First Family.

Mrs. Arroyo insisted that she has still the power and authority to decide the workings of government and no one else, the President said in a speech after a private mass with her her family and friends in Malacañang,


Ako ang Pangulo. Wala ng iba. Ako ang magpapasya sa mga usapin sa pamahalaan, hindi yung ibang wala sa tungkulin," she said.

(I am the President, no one else. I am the one who decides on the issues in government and not those who are not in government.)

The President added that the members of the First Family are not using her position as leverage to promote their own business interest.

"Ang aking pamilya ay hindi nagnenegosyo sa pamahalaan(My family is not treating the government as a business venture)," she said, reacting to allegations of ousted House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. that the First Gentleman Jose Miguel "Mike" Arroyo and his son, Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel "Mikey" Arroyo have been involved in smuggling operations.

She also reiterated that she will step down when her term ends in 2010 as mandated in the Constitution.

Though acknowledging two EDSA People Powers—first in 1986 and the other in 2001, Mrs. Arroyo said the international community would not tolerate another bloodless revolt of the people which would oust her from her post.

"The world won’t forgive another EDSA revolt in 2008. Who would invest in the Philippines if that would happen? We all know that I am not perfect but God knows how I worked hard everyday to bring positive change," she said

The President also assured the public that those who would be proven guilty in the overpriced national broadband network (NBN) mess would be charged before the proper venue

"Pananagutin natin sila. Galit ang tao sa kurakot. Ganon din ako (We will make them pay. People are angry at greedy and corrupt people. So am I)," she added.

Senate witness Rodolfo Noel "Jun" Lozada Jr. earlier testified before the Blue Ribbon Committee on the government’s NBN deal with China’s ZTE Corp. claiming it was overpriced by $130 million.

The excess money was meant to the kickback of resigned chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr. for brokering the project, Lozada said.

Last Saturday, President Arroyo admitted that she was told about the purported corruption in government’s scrapped broadband project with China before the signing of the contract.

"Nagsumbong sa akin the night before the signing of the supply contract… So, papaano mo naman maka-cancel the night before, meron kang ibang bansang kausap?" Mrs. Arroyo said in an interview on dzRH.

(I was told about corruption the night before the signing of the supply contract. How could we cancel it the night before the signing, given that another country was involved in this contract?)

The President added: "So, tuloy iyong signing pero sa unang pagkakataon, kinausap ko kaagad iyong Pangulo ng China para sabihin sa kaniya na kailangan kanselahin iyong proyekto."

(So, the signing pushed through but for the first time I immediately talked to the Chinese president to tell him that we needed to cancel the project because of this issue)

Mrs. Arroyo said the Chinese government was initially shocked but eventually it conceded.

The President said she was assured by the Chinese government that the relations between the Philippines and China would not be affected despite the cancellation of the alleged irregular NBN project.

Holy Mass on TV for Filipino Migrants

Fr. Erno Diaz, Rector of the Chapel of San Lorenzo Ruiz in New York, would like Filipino migrants and overseas workers brought closer to God through Mass and spiritual instruction on television.

He envisions a “Mother Angelica” of EWTN kind of broadcast from the chapel in New York. San Lorenzo Ruiz, after all, is the patron saint of Filipino migrants and OFWs.

Father Erno is founding chair.

The Chapel of San Lorenzo Ruiz on 378 Broome St., Lower Manhattan, was designated by Cardinal Edward Egan for the Filipino community. It is attached to the Philippine Pastoral Center of the Filipino Apostolate of the Archdiocese of New York.

It opened in 2005 and was blessed by Bishop Precioso Cantillas, chair of the Philippine Episcopal Commission on Migration. President Macapagal-Arroyo attended.

Former Senator Helena Benitez supports the airing of Mass honoring San Lorenzo for Filipino migrants. Her niece Dr. Amelou Reyes, president of PWU, and Dr. Dolores Baja-Lasan, PWU chancellor, support the same.
