Manny Villar Song Lyrics - 2010 Presidential Election Commercials

Senator Manny Villar is really pouring a lot of his money for the coming 2010 Presidential Elections and you got to give credit to his campaign staff. Here is the video that is making viral into the hearts of the Filipinos.



Lyrics of the Song
Naging Mahirap

Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura?
Nag-Pasko ka na ba sa gitna ng kalsada?
Yan ang tanong namin,
Tunay ka bang isa sa amin?

Nalaman mo na bang mapapag-aral ka nya?
Tutulungan tayo para magka-trabaho?
At kanyang plano'y magka-bahay tayo?

Si Villar ang tunay na mahirap.
Si Villar ang tunay na may malasakit.
Si Villar ang may kakayahan
At gumawa ng sariling pangalan.

Si Manny Villar ang magtatapos
ng ating kahirapan.


What do you think? Will this video make his way to Malacanang?
Post your comments.

Filipino Peacekeepers in Haiti Assist Rescue Efforts in Earthquake Aftermath

Filipino peacekeepers were the first to rush to the headquarters of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and take part in rescue efforts after the seven-story building was levelled by magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince on Tuesday night.

In its report to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Philippine Mission to the United Nations said that it was informed by the UN that members of the 10th Philippine Peacekeeping Contingent under Lt. Col. Lope Dagoy are assisting in the search for an undetermined number of UN personnel who were in the building when it collapsed.




The Philippine Mission said it could not determine at this point if there were any casualties among members of the Philippine military and police contingents as well as UN civilian staff members serving with MINUSTAH as power and communications line have been cut off. It said it could not account for all of Filipino peacekeeping personnel as its only source of information was UN Headquarters in New York which was only able to establish contact with MINUSTAH officials via satellite phones.

However, it said that Lieutenant Colonel Dagoy was able to contact his wife via satellite phone and asked her to relay to the Peacekeeping Operations Center of the Armed Forces of the Philippines that he was trying to account for all members of the contingent. While he did not mention any casualties or damage to the Philippine headquarters, he said contingent members were forced to vacate the building after the area was hit by a series of aftershocks.

The Philippine Mission said Sr. Supt. Rodolfo Fuentes, commander of the Philippine police contingent, was also able to establish contact through internet and said he and several other peacekeepers were safe in the UN Logistics Base near the Port-au-Prince International Airport.

Based on newspaper reports, the Philippine Mission was able to determine that at least three other areas in the capital where Filipino peacekeepers are assigned sustained serious damage from the earthquake.

There are 157 officers and enlisted personnel from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and 15 officers from the Philippine National Police (PNP) serving with MINUSTAH. There are also an undetermined number of Filipino civilian staff working with the UN.

Aside from the peacekeepers, there are some 447 Filipinos working in the garments, telecommunication and power sectors in the country, mostly in middle and upper management levels. There are also Filipino nuns and priests in Haiti.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has sent instructions to the Philippine Mission in New York, as well as the Philippine Embassy in Havana, Cuba, to check on the conditions of the members of the Filipino community in Haiti.

The Philippine Mission in New York will coordinate with the United Nations on the extension of assistance to them, as well as to the Haiti Government and people.

Showtime on Preventive Suspension - Osang Axe as Judge

All time controversial actress Rosanna Roces was dissappointed over the decision of MTRCB 20 day preventive suspension of "Showtime" because of remarks she made againsts teachers. Before the decision of MTRCB was issued, ABS-CBN has already axed Rosanna Roces from being the judge of the said show.

However Roces further argued that she is not criticizing the teachers in general and further added that she has the liberty “to say whatever I want to say.”

"Nagpapasalamat ako sa ABS-CBN dahil binigyan nila ako ng pagkakataong humingi ng paumanhin sa aking naging pahayag sa ‘Showtime.’ Naramdaman kong nakahanap ako ng tunay na kapamilya sa ABS-CBN dahil hindi nila ako iniwan sa ere. Kung sa ibang network, gaya ng naranasan ko noon, ay iniwan ako at pinabayaang magpaliwanag ng mag-isa," she said.

Like Roces, the show’s hosts - Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro and Kim Atienza - and judge Vice Ganda were disappointed by the MTRCB’s decision.

The Kapamilya network has already taken action to make sure that the popular show will come back on air soon.

According to lawyer Mona Manalo of ABS-CBN legal department, the network filed on Tuesday an appeal before the Court of Appeals.

In its petition, Manalo said the network has asked the court to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) and a writ of preliminary injunction to restrain the MTRCB from enforcing its January 11 suspension order.

The network also asked the appellate court to issue a writ of certiorari to set aside the order and to make permanent preliminary injunction.

Here is TV Patrol's full report on Osangs' statements.

Mayweather's Camp has Officially Chicken Out

Top Rank promoter, Bob Arum, has announced that the mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather will no longer push through. This announcement came after long hours of mediation session from both camps.

Although neither side was allowed to provide specifics of their dispute, Mayweather apparently resisted at a hard-fought compromise in the testing issues first raised by the former welterweight champion.

"I knew this was going to happen," said a weary Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter. "You had to play it out."

The promoters went into the hourlong mediation Tuesday hoping to reach an agreement on the drug testing issue for the fight. Mayweather's camp demanded random blood testing in addition to unlimited urine testing, with Pacquiao resisting at the stringent requests.

"I've been saying this for years: He's a psychological coward who doesn't want to fight anybody who has a chance of beating him," Arum said. "He walked away from a rematch with Oscar (De La Hoya) that would have paid him a fortune because De La Hoya held him close in the first fight (in May 2007)."

Arum said there's "no chance ever of salvaging it for March, no chance for it ever to happen." He plans to propose a mid-March bout with 154-pound champion Yuri Foreman to Pacquiao, who could become a champion in his eighth weight class.

The War on Pacquiao vs Mayweather has Started

It looks like the fight of Pacquiao vs Mayweather will not be fought into the ring but into court. As soon as the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr. has turned down Bob Arum's ultimate proposal to mega-buck fight, Manny Pacquiao fired back at his potential opponent's camp, filing a defamation case Wednesday.

Manny Pacquiao, distinguished by many as boxing's best pound-for-pound fighter, filed an oral defamation suit in U.S District Court in Nevada against Floyd Mayweather Jr, Mayweather Sr. Roger Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and Oscar De La Hoya.

Pacquiao insisted that he cannot afford his name and years of hard work be tarnished by allegations of him taking performance enhancing drugs. It is being noted that the Mayweather Camp has issued statements regarding Manny using performance drugs in his fights.

Nevada State Athletic Commission has order a directive to both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. to submit their urine samples for testing which Manny has already complied.

In the meantime, Top-Rank Promoter Bob Arum said that he is looking for an alternate fight for Pacquaio on March 20 against either Jr. Middleweight champion Yuri Foreman or former Jr. Welterweight champ Paul Malignaggi.

A win by Pacquiao over Foreman will give him his eighth championship in eight weight divisions.
