For how many years, I AM BACK! A lot of things happened to
me. The reason why I left this blog hanging is that I thought nobody reads
this. I was thinking if I was just wasting my time typing my thoughts here.
Well, that was what I thought. If no one is reading this, then it should be all
fine with me --- no matter what from the very beginning why I put this up is to
express what I think about on certain things.
Well, I have changed (at least I think). For so many years,
I’ve been learning my lessons.
Along with the changes I’ve had, I am reformatting this page
into a new… I don’t know. Just new – it just came into my mind.
I will be talking here anything regarding Entertainment,
Sports, and Politics. And anything that should be talked about.
Napanood ko na ang full
trailer ng bagong pelikula ni Dingdong Dantes na sya ring producer nito.
Ang masasabi ko lang ay maganda talaga ang effects nito, as in special talaga walang duda. Tungkol naman sa kwento, parang
ordinaryo lang, pero tingnan din natin kung anong twists o kung anupaman ang kanilang gagawin para maging napakaganda
ang kalalabasan.
Anyway, panoorin
na lang natin na mag-uumpisa sa October
17, 2012.
Nasusubaybayan ko ang episodes
ng Protégé at Inside Protégé. Una pa lang na nakita ko si Ruru Madrid, mula sa
Mindanao, alam ko na siya ang magiging pambato ko sa competition na iyon bukod sa iba pang ‘kakumpetensya’ nya.
Isa lang ang mabigat kong dahilan, nakikita ko sa kanya ang
sarili ko – yung tipong patpatin pero may ibubuga pagdating sa talento lalo na
sa pag-arte – yun lang hindi pa ako kasing-palad nya na marami na ang
nakatuklas sa galing nyang ito.
Hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit tutok na tutok sa kanya
ang kanyang mentor na si Phillip
Salvador –alam nya kasing may future
ang batang protégé.
Anu’t anuman ang kalabasan ng kumpetisyon, suportado ko ang
batang ito. Unsolicited advice lang, keep your feet on the ground.
Nakatutuwa ang mga balita tungkol sa ‘paglilinis’ sa hanay
ng pulisya. Matatanggal ang mga tiwali, pero sana naman maging OBJECTIVE o PATAS ang
gagawing ‘paglilinis’. Baka naman mamaya, maling tao na pala ang natatanggal at
na-set-up lang pala.
Opinyon pa rin, matapang ang bago nilang pinuno ah –
napakarami nyang binabangga at babanggain – gayunpaman ang aking mensahe ay good luck. Kaisa ako sa kampanya para
linisin ang kanilang hanay at maitatag muli ang kanilang integridad.

Mainit ang pangalan ni Tito Sen ngayon dahil sa plagiarism issue. Marami nang komento
ang naglabasan ngunit hindi ito ang tatalakayin ko sa ngayon.
Sa totoo lang dismayado ako sa kanya sa pagboto nya against Former CJ Renato Corona noong
nakaraang Impeachment Trial – pumabor sya sa kagustuhan ng isang ‘malaking
tao’. Napapaisip tuloy ako sa ngayon, bakit nagigisa si Tito Sen ngayon at tila
naiipit/nagigipit? Hindi kaya dahil kumukontra na sya ngayon sa isang ‘malaking
tao’? Kasi nama’y pabor ang ‘taong’ ito sa isang pinagdedebatehang issue at sya nama’y hindi.
Sayang talaga sya. Isa pa naman ako sa bumoto sa kanya pero
hindi ko sya binoto dahil sa siya si TITO SOTTO. Binoto ko sya dahil sa kapatid
nyang si Vic. Aminin na nating lahat, hindi sya binoboto ng tao dahil sa s’ya
ay s’ya (siguro yung mga ngayon-ngayon na lang kasi nakilala na sya bilang
senador at tagapaglingkod noon sa, kundi ako nagkakamali, Quezon City).
Masakit mang tanggapin ibinoboto lang sya ng tao dahil sa
kapatid nyang si Vic.
Sa isyung dapat ay umalis na sya sa Philippine Longest Running Noontime Show na Eat… Bulaga!, dapat matagal na nyang ginawa iyon, bago pa dumating
ang isyung plagiarism. Hindi rason na
nakatutulong sya sa tao, sa halip, dahilan ito lalo upang lisanin nya ang EB.
Hangang-hanga naman ako sa bagong administrasyon ng Movie and Television Review and
Classification Board (MTRCB). Matagal na buhat nang maisakatuparan nila ang
tamang pag-kaklase ng mga panoorin – para nga naman mapatnubayan nang husto ang
kabataan sa kanilang panonood.
Kapag naililipat ko sa ABS-CBN ang channel, nagugulat ako sa dami ng palabas nila na nai-klase sa rating na SPG o Strict Parental
Guidance, pero kapag napapanood ko na ang programa, nasasabi kong tama
naman pala ang rating nun.
Pero, takang-taka talaga ako sa mga palabas ng GMA7. Kung
bakit naman ang karamihan sa kanilang palabas ay puro nasa PG o Parental Guidance
lamang. Kung tutuusin, hindi lahat ng palabas ng Siyete ay angkop na mai-klase
sa PG. Narito ang ilang halimbawa ng kanilang palabas:
Napakahilig talaga ng mga Pinoy na manood. Nalilibang ang
lahat sa mga panooring tulad ng teleserye; laging sinusubaybayan ang bawat
kilos ng mga artistang gumaganap sa mga character
sa story. Siguradong nagagalak ang
puso ng manonood kapag nakababawi ang bidang matagal nang naapi. Sobra naman
ang inis ng manonood kapag sobra na ang kasalbahihan ng nasa palabas.
Sa mga teleserye kong napanood mula pa noong bata ako
hanggang sa ngayong malaki na ako (syempre sa aking pagkakatanda) ay kakaunti
lang ang talagang tumatatak sa akin na maganda ang pagkakagawa. Tulad ng mga
sumusunod (in no particular order):
Kay
Tagal Kang Hinintay – pinagbidahan ni Ms. Lorna Tolentino
It
Might Be You – pinagtambalan nina Bea Alonzo at John Lloyd Cruz
Amaya
– si Marian Rivera ang bida
Budoy
– bida si Gerald Anderson
Munting
Heredera – tatlong batang babae ang nagbida rito
100
Days to Heaven – punum-puno ng moral values na pinagbidahan nila Ms.
Connie Reyes, Xyriel Manabat, at Ms. Jodie Sta. Maria
One
True Love – kasalukuyang pinalalabas sa telebisyon na pinagtatambalan nina
Alden Richards at Louise delos Reyes
Problems observed
Bida-Kontabida
Api System – this is the most common
scenario in every teleserye. Pahihirapan muna nang todo-todo ng
kontrabida ang bida, as in pati
yung mga manonood ay sobrang naiinis na, hindi lang sa kontrabida kundi
pati na rin sa bida dahil sobrang api-apihan na parang hindi s’ya marunong
lumaban, maaawa ka na nga sana
kaso sa sobrang awa, napapalitan na ito ng pagkayamot dahil walang magawa
ang bida
Sexual
Content – gustung-gusto raw ito ng mga Pinoy pero dapat kasi laging
isinasaalang-alang ang mga batang manonood, baka mamaya gayahin nila yung
mga ganun (kaya siguro maraming naitatalang kaso ng mga batang
‘nagyayarian’ kapapanood ng mga ganung klaseng teleserye).
Tingnan mo mga palabas ng Korea
na ipinalalabas dito sa ating bansa, wala namang masyadong ganun, kaya
gandang-ganda ang marami sa ating mga kababayan ng kanilang mga kwento. Bakit
sa atin? Hindi ba gaganda ang kwento kung walang ganun? Matututunan at
matututunan din ng mga bata yang halikan na yan – pero sa TAKDANG PANAHON,
hindi na nila kailangan makita sa TV yan; siguradong gagawin din nila yan
paglaki nila kasi kusa na ang katawan nila ang mag-uudyok sa kanila nyan
PAGLAKI NILA (paulit-ulit)
Pagkatapos ng Pasko at Bagong Taon, inaabangan namin ang
araw ng Pista ng Itim na Nazareno.
Deboto kami ng Itim na Nazareno pero hindi kami tulad ng iba
na sumusunod pa sa prosisyon, nakikipagbalyahan, nakikipagsipaan at kung
anu-ano pa para lang makahalik at makapagpunas ng panyo. Mahirap na dahil
mahirap ang buhay ngayon, mahirap magpagamot.
Ang ginagawa namin, sa gabi kami pumupunta, kung kailan malapit
nang maibalik ang Poon sa simbahan ng Quiapo. Magsisimba kami, magdarasal at
hihintaying makapasok ang Poon.
Ganito taun-taon ang ginagawa namin. Kasi hindi lang naman
sa araw na iyon kami maaaring makahalik sa Poon, kahit araw-araw ay pwede.
Hindi kailangang makipagtulakan at makipagbalyahan.
Ang ISYU tungkol sa
mga SANTO
Isa lang ang Itim na Poong Nazareno sa aming hinahalikan o
pinupunasan ng panyo. Maging ang ibang imaheng santo ni Jesus o ang Sto. Niño
ay ginagawan namin nang ganoon. Siyempre, KATOLIKO kami eh.
Pero, MAY ILANG RELIHIYON, ilang TAO o grupo ng mga tao ang
KUMUKWESTIYON sa ginagawang ito ng mga Katoliko. Ayon daw sa Bibliya at maging
sa Sampung Utos ng Diyos, IISA lamang ang DIYOS kung kaya’t HINDI maaaring
SANTUHIN ang IBA; HINDI dapat GUMAWA ng DIYOS-DIYOSAN.
Kamakailan ay naglabas ng pahayag ang GMA-7 na
nagpapasalamat sa mga taong tumatangkilik sa kanilang istasyon dahilan upang
sila’y maging “Double No. 1” (GMA-7 at GMANews TV-11).
Naturalmente, may mga taong nagtataas ng kilay at hindi
sumasang-ayon dito. Bakit ‘ka mo? Kasi karamihan sa mga nanonood sa Metro
Manila (MM) ay mga programa ng ABS-CBN ang kanilang tinatangkilik.
ABS-CBN2 vs. TV5 vs.
GMA-7
Kung susuriin mong mabuti ang sinasabi ng Siyete, ito ay
pumapatungkol sa PANGKALAHATANG Audience
Share (AS) o yung mga manonood. Tama naman sila roon. Kung ikaw ay kumukontra
sa sinabi ko, narito ang ilang katanungang dapat mong sagutin sa iyong sarili:
Maraming
nanonood ng Dos sa MM, eh paano ang ibang panig ng bansa? Ang ilang bahagi
ng Luzon? Vizayas? Mindanao?
Kahit
saan ka magpunta, malinaw ang signal ng Siyete kaysa Dos at Singko. Hindi
ba? Bakit ganoon?
Dahil nga
malakas ang signal ng Siyete, sa mga walang Cable, alin ang mas panonoorin na lamang nilang mga programa?
Sa
panahon ngayon, humahabol ang TV5. Ano ang ibig sabihin noon?
Narito naman ang hindi gaanong detalyado ngunit pinag-isang
sagot para sa mga katanungan.
Published: Newslink: The eye of truth, freedom, progress, and dignity (Sept. 28 - Oct. 10, 2011)
The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) FINALS has put defending champion Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) Blue Eagles and Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws in the front line of the Big Dome for the Best of Three game series.
Last season, it was the De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers who confronted the Blue Eagles. ADMU finally had a 3-peat championship.
The mere fact that the Tamaraws grabbed the opportunity to sweep other teams and become this season’s challenger to the Blue Eagles, it has elevated its level compared to last season.
The Atenistas in blue and white suit versus the FEUans vested in yellow and green made the Finals alive but we have observed that the cheering squads of the Blue Eagles were supported by a bigger crowd out of the estimated 19 thousand spectators in Araneta Coliseum. They seemed to outshine the cheerers of the Tamaraws. The Cheering squads play a very important role in the game to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the players.
Everybody thinks that the supporting cheerers can greatly help in the victory of any team. Win or lose, the supporting crowd must inspire the players.
It has been obvious that ADMU coach Norman Black’s players closely watched and guarded the Tamaraws’ top 3 Terrence Romeo, RR Garcia and Aldrech Ramos.
Win or lose, champion or not, everyone knows that the key players of top teams in the varsity games and amateur leagues have a better opportunity as future professional basketball players.
These names are of course players to watch, the “TAMARAWS Big Three..”
By the way, win or lose, we reiterate, it’s fine for our colleague ANDI RECTO, the FEU courtside reporter to have reached and done her part in the finals with the team this season and good enough to set angle for campus journalists. For comments and suggestions, send e-mail at drsa1017@yahoo.com
It is in the nature of Filipino attitude to be the number one violators of the rules imposed. Because of violating rules, these “pasaway” Filipinos go to precinct to settle their cases.
Jaywalking has been one of the most common cases in the Philippines that Filipinos commit. It is considered as having the lightest consequence.
“When you are caught Jaywalking, you are stupid because you do not know how to follow simple instruction.” These were the words of my professor in Journalism 100 that I remembered. Well, I must agree – especially to those who serve as role models.
I am not perfect as the famous phrase says “Nobody is perfect.” I must admit that I had also committed jaywalking because it feels like it is a waste of time to use the footbridges made by the government. But I did not jaywalk in the morning; I did it how many times at night because I believe vehicles that time are not numerous.
When I was younger, I hate people committing jaywalking, but now, I fully understand what and how those people feel when they jaywalk. I just realized that I never jaywalked not because of my friends who influenced me.
Having been confessed, I believe that it is not right to jaywalk – no matter how we feel being lazy, we must follow rules – rules are rules, anyway. Rules are made for the sake of one’s safety.
Mass Communication Society (MCS) annually celebrates the Mass Comm Fair to help its fellow students showcase their talents and be inspired of what they got. Mass Comm Fair (MCF) is a good setting for Mass Comm students as it is intended for them.
The MCF week was held last February 15-17 at the IAS Promenade (AB Grounds). The big event was held on February 17 (Thursday) at the FEU-Auditorium wherein qualified students showed their talents and contested in a competition of singing and dancing.
The MCS Officers have issued the remaining Organizational Shirts outside the Auditorium all through out the event. Students of Mass Communication have attended the event but its officers have failed to maximize the seats of the Auditorium. The reasons for this failure could be: (a) not all MC students have classes that day; (b) the MC third year students are busy doing their Productions; (c) the MC fourth year students are busy finalizing their thesis work; and/or (d) because of the Miting de Avance scheduled on the same date but timed two hours after the MCF started, which may be some MC students waited for it.
MCF big event is consisted of Mass Comm Idol, a singing contest, and the other which is contest of amateur dancers.
In my life in Far Eastern University, I was not able to attend the Mass Comm Fair. Last year, my reason is I was preparing and rehearsing for our stage play, a production organized by 3rd year students in fulfillment of their course requirement. Our production team did not allow us to attend the MCF as we would have to stage our play the next day. This year, I was not able to attend the MCF because I was busy preparing for the Miting de Avance as I was one of the candidates running for a position; another is I was not allowed to go at the Auditorium because I might be caught disqualified as it would be considered as illegal campaigning.
Based on my assessment, the MCF was still a success because the students have enjoyed the event. However, my friend Ma. Carla D. Lapore, also got it to be on the 2nd place as she joined the Mass Comm Idol ’11. It is still a success for us barkada and still waiting for a celebration.

The Far Eastern University – College “Y” Club (FEU-CYC), together with the Institute of Arts and Sciences – Student Council (IAS-SC), and Political Science – Internationa
l Studies Society (Pol-IS Soc), invited the Office of Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago to be the guest
speaker of the University regarding the empowerment of today’s youth.
The project proponents are Francis Anecto Labalan, FEU-CYC and Pol-IS Soc Treasurer; and Johanna Lauraya, IAS-SC Treasurer.
By Dante Rossetti Santos Alejo
I have witnessed the preparations made by the project proponents for the symposium entitled Youth Empowerment Symposium, with the theme “The Role of the Youth in Nation Building”. It was not easy. I prepared a timeline showing my personal experience regarding the event.
January 21, 2011 (Friday). The staff of Sen. Defensor Santiago had an Advance Party in the University. They have visited where the Senator would make her way, and what the Auditorium looks like. I, together with the project proponents, entertained the guests; Labalan and Lauraya answered some questions asked to them, and they also asked some questions to the staff.
January 24 (Monday). We had our posting of the posters. This was also a traumatic experience for me because something happened I could not explain since it is too personal.
January 26 (Wednesday). Sen. Defensor Santiago’s staff e-mailed us confirming the Media who would cover the event. Everything was settled but this one was the only problem because the University Administration did not agree to the fact. We have contacted different people who could help us. There were too many conflicts that whole day.
January 27 (Thursday). The day of the event. I went to school about 11 am. I was busy preparing some stuff. I had some papers photocopied; the certificate signed by the authorities (but conflicts still happened that time). I went to the auditorium at 12nn. I did the preparations with some of the Executive Committee. I wore my corporate attire inside the dressing room of the Auditorium. I helped to usher guests and participants. I was so busy that day.
The Auditorium was filled by a lot of people.
When the Senator arrived, everybody was overwhelmed. The event started and she was introduced by Ms. Lauraya. I was at the backstage that time. I was having my short rest from the busy works I’ve done. I listened to the Senator’s talk; she had jokes which everyone had laughed at. Yet, I wasn’t able to listen all what she had talked – what’s I am sure of is that she talked about the youth.
After the talk, she had entertained some questions. Then, she was awarded of token of appreciation.
When she went down the stage, we followed her and there was a short interview from the media.
After the ambush interviews, she walked on and had shook hands with the students. We followed her until she reached the hallway of the first floor of the Administration Building. We were at the center when a student-reporter from FEU-Advocate (the official newsletter of the University) asked her two questions.
The Senator continuously walked afterwards. When we went out of the building, too many students were on our way. We had picture takings here and there. It was indeed an important event, a happy experience.
We went back to the Auditorium and fixed everything.
The event was very successful.
In this moment of time, I would like to thank the IAS-SC Adviser Professor Babsie Morabe, FEU-CYC and Pol-IS Soc Advisers, the Executive Committee, and other organizers who made the event possible. I would also like to acknowledge all the people who participated, cooperated, and coordinated with us.
