Did President Gloria Had a 'Boob Job'?

In a recent speech by former President Joseph Estrada to the Manila Medical Society, he jokingly mentioned the controversy of the President having a 'boob job'.

He said, "Sa dinami-dami ng mga dapat na imbestigahan ng NBI ay kung bakit pati ang “boob job” ng Pangulo ay kanilang pinagdidiskitahan." He further added as to why the NBI is continuing to investigate who among the staff of Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Muntinlupa leak the leak to media the 'procedure' done to President Arroyo.

He jokingly added, "Wag n’yo naman dibdibin ang kasong ito. When there are so many cases of killings, ambu­shes, bombings and other heinous crimes that need to be investigated. I hope that no doctor in this assembly tonight is under investigation by the NBI for being talkative and revealing the truth about the very important patient,”.

“Sabagay hindi naman ako kasi pious li­ving. Alam n’yo ba ang ibig sabihin ng pious li­ving? Ibig sabihin noon, ‘paayos nang paayos’. If you are among those saying that I was the one who talked about implants, I hope you do not get qua­rantined for life,” dagdag nito.

Mayon Volcano Set to Erupt - Alert Level 2

Philvocs has raised the level for Mayon Volcano to Alert Level “2" due to moderate unrest.

"This alert condition signifies a state of unrest which could lead to ash explosions or eventually to hazardous magmatic eruption. Thus, at Alert Level 2, Phivolcs strongly recommends that the 6-km radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) around the volcano and the 7-km Extended Danger Zone (EDZ) on the southeast flank of the volcano are off-limits due to the threat from sudden explosions and rockfalls from the upper slopes," it said on its website.

Provincial officials in Albay, Bicol have already mapped out evacuation plans, which also includes forced evacuation of residents living near volcano's periphery.

Cedric Daep, head of the Albay Public Safety and Emergency Management Office (APSEMO), said Governor Jose Salceda has also banned mountain-climbing activities on Mayon.

"Sa ngayon nag-issue si Governor ng advisory, pinagbawal ang mountain climbing. Bawal ang any human activity in critical areas sa 6-km permanent danger zone [The governor issued an advisory barring mountain-climbing. He also banned human activity in critical areas at the six-kilometer permanent danger zone]," Daep said in an interview on dzXL radio.

Daep mentioned that they had met with community leaders in high-risk zones to ask them to convince farmers not to sleep in areas near the permanent danger zone.

Blasts hit Mindanao again, 6 people dead, over 40 injured

MANILA, Philippines - Two separate bombings in Jolo and Iligan City on Tuesday morning killed six people and injured around 40 others, including state security personnel, officials said.

Philippine Marines commandant Maj. Gen. Ben Dolorfino said the first explosion occurred when an improvised explosive device (IED) went off at 7:55 a.m. Tuesday in Poblacion village in front of the Go Teck Leng Hardware along Sanchez Street in Jolo.

Roughly three hours after the explosion in Jolo, another IED went off in Iligan City, wounding seven people including two soldiers, police said.

The blasts were the latest in a fresh wave of bombings in the volatile southern Philippines. A ranking military official, however, expressed doubts whether the incidents were related.

On Sunday morning, an improvised explosive device (IED) planted at a lechon (roasted pig) house in front of the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral in Cotabato City, killing five people and injuring 29 others.

The night before, another blast caused by a 60-millimeter mortar explosive in Barangay Buayan in Datu Piang town in Maguindanao province injured three people.

Sulu blast

Superintendent Jose Bayani Gucela, a public information officer of the Philippine National Police (PNP) for Western Mindanao, said the IED was placed "inside" a motorcycle parked about 100 meters away from a Catholic church in downtown Jolo where a Mass was just held.

Gucela said investigators likewise recovered two unexploded IEDs, each placed in a cardboard box also around 100 meters away from the church.

According to Gucela, the blast killed six people and wounded about 40 others. A sketchy report from Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) operations chief Superintendent Danilo Bacas said a policeman was among those hurt in the explosion.

Bacas said the Sulu cathedral is located across the street where the explosion occurred. "Nasa kabilang kalye po ang simbahan [pero] medyo malayo [The cathedral is located across the street but it is somewhat far (from the blast site)]."

Philippine Navy spokesperson Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo said most of the wounded victims in the Jolo blast were in critical condition.

"Our initial report showed that a motorcycle parked near the store allegedly with wire connected on it was noticed, prompting concerned citizens to report the sightings to the police. An explosion followed just as policemen were responding to the information," Arevalo said in a text message to reporters.

Another in Iligan City

Northern Mindanao police director Chief Superintendent Danilo Empedrad said the Iligan City blast occurred at 10:50 a.m. along Sabayle Street near the city pier.

Initial reports said the IED was placed inside a vehicle parked right beside a mini-cruiser belonging to the Philippine Army, Empedrad said.
