Kris Aquino Defends PNoy via Twitter


Despite of too much criticism from the media, Kris Aquino remains firm in defending her brother President Noynoy.  PNoy was criticized after a 'scolding spree' at the recent anniversary celebration of ABS-CBN TV Patrol.

Like most of celebrities, Kris pours out her sentiments via twitter (kris aquino twitter) when a follower commented that PNoy “would give media freedom” similar to what their father, Benigno Aquino, Jr., “would’ve wanted,” noting that the former senator himself was part of the press (he worked as a war correspondent for the Manila Times).

Kris replied by tweeting:

“@NinaBellatrix1 hi Nina. Prayed be4 I replied to make sure I don't tweet the wrong thing. My issues r so trivial in comparison to PNoy. PNoy is our president & I do believe the majority of our people feel he's doing a great job. Maybe he just like anybody else has the right to defend himself & express his opinion? Freedom of speech is a 2 way street right?”

However, another netizen commented that though PNoy has a right to defend himself, “it was just inappropriate for the occasion. It was uncalled for.”

To which Kris responded, “that's y we live in a DEMOCRACY. Our president is free to express himself & so r u. Good night.”

PNoy was the guest of honor at the of the long-running Kapamilya news program.  Although he did not directly name his subject, PNoy did refer to him as a government official who served for six years. He also quoted Noli’s famous line, “Magandang gabi, bayan” at one point.

Noli De Castro serves as the vice-president of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo from 2004 to 2010.

Ex-President Arroyo Is Out Of Jail


Wearing a neck brace to support her spine that is weakened from a rare disease, Arroyo left a tightly guarded military hospital in Manila where she had been awaiting trial on the charge that could see her jailed for life.

The granting of bail appeared a major setback for her successor, Benigno Aquino, who has said that bringing Arroyo to justice for crimes she allegedly committed while in power is crucial to his high-profile anti-graft campaign.

Aquino won the 2010 presidential elections in a landslide after campaigning to wipe out corruption that he said crippled Philippine society during the nearly 10 years Arroyo was in power.
Arroyo's spokesman, Ferdinand Topacio, described the ruling on Wednesday morning from a Manila court as "a triumph of justice and a resounding denial of dictatorship" that proved her earlier assertions of innocence.

"It is a reaffirmation of what our camp has been saying all along," Topacio said, before borrowing from a quote by former US president Abraham Lincoln.

"That the charges against the former president are as thin as the soup made from boiling the shadow of a chicken that has been starved to death."

Arroyo, 65, was arrested at an exclusive hospital in November last year shortly after immigration authorities blocked her at Manila airport from leaving the country.

Aquino had said Arroyo was trying to flee the country to escape imminent charges against her, although she said she needed specialist treatment overseas for her spinal disease.

Arroyo was charged shortly after with "electoral sabotage" for allegedly conspiring with a feared political warlord to rig the 2007 senatorial elections.

She was then transferred to the military hospital, where she had been detained while awaiting trial. No date has yet been set for the start of the trial, which could take years to complete.

Coach Tim Cone Fined P23K

PBA FINALS 2012 - Tim Cone Throws a Chair


B-Meg coach Tim Cone apparently has gotten away with a slap on the wrist after being fined a total of P23,400 for throwing a chair on the court while the game was ongoing during Game 1 of their PBA Governors’ Cup best-of-seven title series with Rain or Shine last Sunday.
He was assessed P20,000 for the more serious offense of throwing the chair, and P3,400 for a technical foul resulting from that outburst.
The incident – perhaps the first of its kind in the league – took place at 7:23 mark of the payoff period.
A similar outburst by popular US NCAA basketball coach Bobby Knight resulted in a one-game suspension and two years probation from the Big 10 conference in 1985.
Known for his outburst, tongue-lashing and combative mood towards the referees when protesting a call or a ‘no call,’ Cone flung a chair while action was ongoing after he thought his player James Yap was fouled while driving to the basket.
Rain or Shine went on to win Game 1 of the best-of-seven series, 91-80.
Cone apologized for his rant, saying: “Our guys are hit on the testicles. I tried to tell the refs but it fell on deaf ears. I made a mistake. I let my frustrations get over me. But at some point you have to make a statement.
Last Monday, he issued another statement via text message.

Pork Chopped, pagsiyasat sa pork barrel ng Kongreso Video - GMA Ne

Saan ba talaga napupunta ang "Pork Barrel" ng mga Congressman? Watch the GMA News Report in News To Go



News to Go is the daily morning newscast of GMA News TV, anchored by Howie Severino and Kara David. It airs Mondays to Fridays at 9:00 AM (PHL Time) on GMA News TV Channel 11.

Persons with disabilities find work online

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) have found suitable means of earninga living on the internet.

Differently-abled graphic artist head, Darlito Palermo, engineer, said his organization established by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has paved way for about 50 PWDs in Davao City to work online, earning as much as P30,000 a month.

Palermo viewed online jobs as suitable for PWDs who need not go to workplaces which, mostly, have yet to establish accessible features such as ramps.

“The can work at home. They don’t need to go out, commute, and go to work in establishments which are not accessible,” he said.

PWDs are now working online for companies based in Singapore, Netherlands, the United States, Australia, and other developed countries, rendering services as virtual assistants, web designers, content writers, data encoder, remote PC assistant, among others.

Totally blind, 25-year-old Maricel Fornis of Sasa, Davao City shared her experiences working online during the Career and Employment Advocacy held Wednesday at SM City Annex in observance of the 34th National Prevention and Rehabilitation Week.

Fornis said she lost her sight in a vehicular accident in February 2002, but she rose from the misfortune by training for online work.

She now serves as the virtual secretary of an executive director of a company based in Singapore. She arranges flight summaries, book hotels, coordinate meetings, and prepare documents for visa applications of her employer.

She views online work as beneficial to PWDs who would be spared from the hazards of mobile barriers because they only have to stay at home and work on their internet-connected personal computers. Working online makes them save expenses for transportation and fuel, she said.

Fornis also shared information about the values and attitudes which had help her stay long in online work. She said one must be determined, resourceful, initiative, conscious about the importance of global services and must be result-oriented.

“Gikinahanglan ang right attitude. Dali lang tun-an ang computer pero dili ang right attitude. Apan ang right attitude ang gikinahanglan kaayo. (Right attitude is needed. It is easy to learn how to use the computer but not the right attitude which is the most important),” she said.

Meanwhile, 30-year old orthopedic Gil V. Alfeche of Sasa, Davao City is now working as a quality control assurance officer of an English online tutorial company based in Singapore.

Recalling his quest for a job, he said he used to repair cellphone services, among other odd jobs after dropping from college as a graduating student of computer engineering of the University of Mindanao.

Because of his desire to look for jobs online, he borrowed money from friends just to buy his own computer unit and connected to the internet. That started opening up fortunes for him.

“Dili lang jud ta mawad-an ug paglaum. (Let’s not lose hope),” he said. (source JA-PIA 11)

Ex-President Charged With Another Plunder Case


The Office of the Ombudsman on Monday filed plunder charges against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and nine other former state officials, mostly of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), for allegedly misusing P365,997,915 in PCSO funds.
It was the first plunder case against Arroyo who is under hospital arrest at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City for electoral sabotage during the 2007 senatorial election.
Also named respondents in the 10-page complaint filed before the Sandiganbayan are former PCSO General Manager Rosario Uriarte, Assistant General Manager for Finance Benigno Aguas, and former PCSO board members Sergio Valencia, Manuel Morato, Raymon Roquero, Maria Fatima Valdez and Jose R. Taruc V.
Former Commission on Audit (COA) Chairman Reynaldo Villar and COA Region 5 head Nilda Plaras were also named in the complaint.
PCSO Director Aleta Tolentino earlier said the COA officials were included because of their “conspiracy and connivance.”
No bail was recommended for the accused, said the Sandiganbayan.
Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales approved the plunder case.
Based on the information filed by the Ombudsman, Arroyo and her nine co-accused conspired and connived to acquire ill-gotten wealth from the PCSO from January 2008 to June 2010.
Morales underscored the evidence that indicated Uriarte wrote to Arroyo eight times requesting that she be allowed to draw from the agency’s intelligence fund.
The money to be drawn from the fund was supposed to have been used “to monitor the PCSO’s charitable activities and projects; to buy information to determine if the funds were being used for the purposes for which [they] were intended; to fund an investigation of how medicine given to beneficiaries marked “Botika ng Masa” had ended up in commercial markets, and to counter various scams victimizing lotto bettors and winners.”
Morales earlier filed a graft case against Arroyo in connection with the $329-million national broadband (NBN) deal with China’s ZTE.

Dolphy Dies At Age 83

Rodolfo Quizon Sr. or better known as "Dolphy" passed away Tuesday at 8:34 p.m., at the Makati Medical Center (MMC).  In a report issued by the MMC to the media, Dolphy's cause of death is "multiple organ failure secondary to complications brought about by severe pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and acute renal failure." 


King of Comedy's Early Life (wikipedia)



Dolphy was born in July 25, 1928 in Calle Padre Herrera (now P. Herrera St.) of Tondo, Manila. His father was Melencio Quizon, the son of Modesto Quizon and Adorable Quizon (née Espinosa) and a ship engine worker in the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Company of Manila . His mother was Salud Quizon (née Vera), the daughter of Maximo Vera and Ninay Vera (née de la Rosa). He was the second eldest of ten children.


Dolphy sold peanuts and watermelon seeds at movie theaters as a boy, which enabled him to watch movies for free. He was about thirteen when World War II started. He did odd jobs including shining shoes; attaching buttons at a pants factory; sorting bottles by size; working as a stevedore at the pier; trading; and driving calesas. In his free time he regularly watched stage shows at the Life Theater and the Avenue Theater. His favorite performers included the comedy duo Pugo and Togo, and the dancers Benny Mack and Bayani Casimiro.


He started performing onstage during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Dolphy was turning 17 when Benny Mack got him a job as a chorus dancer for a month at the Avenue Theater and subsequently on the Lyric Theater. He also appeared in shows at the Orient Theater. Golay was his first stage name. During air raids, they would interrupt the show and run for the air-raid shelter in the orchestra section together with the audience. If no bombs exploded, the show resumed.

Binay Rallies Local Officials In Fight Against Illegal Recruitment


Vice President Jejomar C. Binay has urged local government officials to help the national government fight illegal recruitment and human trafficking.

Binay, concurrent chairman emeritus of the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking and chairman of the Presidential Task Force Against Illegal Recruitment, noted that local officials are the first to know if there are cases of illegal recruitment and human trafficking in their area.

"Local government officials know their surroundings better. So I'm asking their support to fight this menace especially in the provinces,” he said in a statement.

Binay had also urged the public to report to authorities suspected transit homes of illegal recruitment and human trafficking syndicates.

“If you notice that some strangers are renting out an empty house in your neighborhood and filling it up with women, then please get in touch with us. We need the public’s help and cooperation to fight human trafficking,” Binay said.

On the other hand, the Vice President asked those who are planning to work abroad to inquire with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) first to make sure that the jobs are legitimate.
