MARCH 2015 I FIRST ISSUE

Taong 2009 pa lamang ng tangkain na plantyahin ang big boxing event na ito ngunit hindi magkasundo ang dalawang panig kaya ito nauudlot. Kumpyansa si Mayweather na malaki ang laban niya kay Pacquiao at nakahanda siyang isugal ang kanyang (47-0, 26 KOs) upang maitala ang 5-weight titles at maging isa sa mga highest paid boxing athlete. “I mean, when you just look at the tale of the tape, I have a longer reach, I’m taller, I’m stronger and I’m more accurate”, pahayag ng 38-year old na si Mayweather Jr. Dagdag pa niya na naniniwala siyang malaki ang nagbago k a y P a c m a n m u l a nang iwanan niya ang kanyang strength and conditioning coach na si Alex Ariza noong 2012. “He may not be the same fighter, but this is a guy that I cannot overlook. He got here somehow & someway. You never take anything for granted because anything can happen. But as far as me being nervous or worried, absolutely not but I’m always cautious & smart.” Magkakaroon naman ng 60-40 money split ang dalawa kung saan 60% sa kabuuan ng kikitain ng mega fight ng taon ay mapupunta kay Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. Sa kabilang banda, ay nagsimula na ang pag-eensayo ni 8-division boxing champion of the world na si Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao kung saan pinag-aaralan na rin ng kanyang chief trainer na si Freddie Roach ang mga fight tapes ni Mayweather Jr. Malaki ang paniniwala ng sambayanang Pilipino na hindi mabibigo ang 36-anyos na si Pacquiao na nakapagtala ng kanyang (57-5-2, 38KOs)8-division titles: Flyweight, Junior Featherweight, Junior Lightweight, Lightweight, Junior Welterweight, Welterweight at Junior Middleweight).

Nakatakda nang piliin ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino at Interior Secretary Mar Roxas II ang hahalili sa iniwang pwesto ni resigned Philippine National Police Chief Director General Alan Purisima. Ang maswerteng pitong opisyal ng PNP ang napipisil

na susunod ay sina: PNP-OIC Deputy Director General Leonardo Espina, Deputy Director General Marcelo Gabo Jr, Directors Carmelo Valmoria, Ricardo Marquez, Benjamin Magalong, Danny Constantino at Juanita Vaño. Ang mga katangian ng susunod na PNP chief ay ang pagkakaroon ng Loyalty, Integrity at Reputation. Ngunit ang ilan sa pitong ito ay mga nakatakda nang mag-retiro ngayon taon at sa susunod na taon. Tulad na lamang ni Head of Administration & Operations at OIC na si Espina; at Director Valmoria ay nakatakda na magretiro sa darating na Hulyo ng kasalukuyang taon. Samantalang si Chief of Directional Staff Garbo ay sa susunod na taon ng Marso at ang mga natitira pang lima ay sa Mayo 2016 naman.

Sa isang panayam sa radyo ay tahasang sinabi ni Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters Spokesman Azis Misra Mama na hindi nila isasauli ang mga armas dahil hindi naman nila ito hiniram. Naikumpara pa niya ito sa larong boxing, na kapag napatumba ang kalaban at nakuha ang belt, maari lamang itong mabawi kung magkakaroon ng “rematch”. Tinatayang 10 firearms ang nakuha ng BIFF mula sa tropa ng SAF sa naganap na engkwentro sa Mamasapano, Maguindanao madaling araw ng Enero 25.Giit pa ni Misra “Let them come here and take bullets that they want us to return”.

Kinumpirma ng isang mapagkakatiwalaang source na ang most-wanted terrorist na si Abdul Basit Usman ay paiba-iba lamang ng tinutuluyan sa Maguindanao upang hindi matunton ng mga awtoridad ang kanyang kinaroroonan. Si Usman na isang katutubong Maguindanaon na kilala bilang “Teng” ay sumailalim sa mga pagsasanay sa paghawak ng mga pampasabog at paggawa ng mga improvised na bomba sa Kandahar, Afghanistan at Peshawar Pakistan noong 1990s. Isa si Usman sa mga target na arestuhin ng PNP-Special Action Force na kumitil sa buhay ng 44 SAF troopers at kapwa most-wanted terrorist na si Zilkifli bin Hir Marwan. Bagama’t sugatan ay nagawa pa rin nitong makatakas at kasalukuyang nagpapagaling dahil mayroon itong taga-supply ng gamot at pagkain. Samantala, nailibing na ang mga labi ng Marwan sa Pasikil, isang agricultural area sa Maguindanao malapit sa bayan ng Rajab Buayon.

Tumanggi si US Marine Joseph Scott Pemberton na maghain ng plea kaugnay ng kanyang murder case sa pagpatay niya kay Filipino transgender Jeffrey “Jennifer” Laude. Siya ang itinuturong suspek sa pagpatay kay Laude na natagpuan ang bangkay sa isang motel sa Olangapo noong nakaraang taon kung kaya’t ang korte na lamang ang naghain ng “not guilty plea” nito. K a p w a i b i n a s u r a a n g p a n a w a g a n n g pagpapaliban ng visiting forces agreement at ang hiling ng kampo nito na ibaba ang kaso mula murder sa homicide.

Dapat nang lubus-lubusin ang enjoyment sa bed weather dahil sa mga darating na araw ay he-hello na ang perspire day every day. Ito ay sa kadahilanang tuluyan nang lilisan ang northeast monsoon o hanging amihan na nagdadala ng malamig na simoy ng hanging mula sa hapon hanggang gabi at kinabukasan ng madaling araw. Kung saan ang pakiramdam sa Pinas ay magpa-Pasko pa lang, ihanda niyo na ang inyong mga sarili dahil magpaparamdam na si haring araw. Ayon kay Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration weather forecaster Alvin Pura “Temperatures will be slowly warming up in the next few days due to the easterlies. Cold and dry air from China and Siberia brought by the northeast monsoon will recede gradually in the next days”. Samantala makakaranas naman ng mga pag-ulan at thunderstorms sa Kabisayaan at Mindanao, habang magiging maulap naman na may panaka-nakang pag-ulan sa buong Metro Manila at kabuan ng Luzon.

goodbye bed weather, hello perspire day everYday

HIDDen paradises in the philippines that will take your breath away

MARCH 2015 I FIRST ISSUE

Abby Sangalan, the daughter of a noted Filipina Taekwondo athlete has earned distinctions from news publication for her outstanding achievements in the same martial art. Abby, the wonder kid recieved the Junior Star of the Year Award out of dozens of finalist this month, according to Daily Telegraph she was given a medal and a cash of $1000, which would help her continue competing as she moves to senior division. Abby's mother Natalia, a former Philippine national team member, had trained her since she was young at their family-owned Taekwondo Academy for Young Athletes (TAYA). Abby is ranked 3rd in Dan Kukkiwon black belt, having started her training at the age of 6, as a young athlete she quickly gained traction in competitive circuits. She's becoming the New South Wales champion 3 times in 2012 and 2 times in 2013, according to TAYA's website. Last year Abby won the gold medal at the Oceania Championships, reached round 16 in the World of Junior Teakwondo Championships, and she was ranked by the Australian Institute of Sports among the country's Top 50 rising taekwondo athletes.

Melaniel V. Vecina, succeeded and earned the right to the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange & Study (YES) program in the US. Despite having one of her senses taken away at a very young age, Melaniel was picked from more than 8,000 applicants with and without disabilities from around the world. According to Melaniel, it was her honour to represent all the blind community, and to take away all the perception that all the disabled persons just need to stay at home. "Paligsahan ng may K sa Kasaysayan, Kultura ng Pilipinas, History Quiz by the Na t iona l H is to r ica l Commis ion o f t he Philippines (NHCP) and National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) are the other scholarship Melaniel have won last year. According to her mother Carmencita, Melaniel lost her sight at the age of six through infection. At first Melaniel felt depdressed, Carmencita didn't expected that this will happen to her daughter because she was

healthy. According to Carmencita if she was her in her daughters place she would have lost hope. But despite her condition, Melaniel would still help in performing household duties, even taking care of her younger siblings. With this scholarship, Melaniel is more determined to become a successfull lawyer like her idol Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago.

Abe said that the goverment will unite to take comprehensive measures for promoting the creation of a country that is unbending in disasters. In addition to this, Abe said that this will be accomplished by accelerating its reconstruction, making maximum use of the valuable lessons learned and constantly acquiring the latest knowledge and expertise. Japan goverment is planning to hold a memorial service on March 11th in Tokyo to

mark its 4th anniversasry, with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as the head of the organizing committee. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will also ask the members of the public to observe a minute of prayer around 2:46 PM on March 11 when the tremor struck the country.

From Page 1

Last month the Japanese government decided to allow nurses and caregiver trainees from Philippines and Indonesia to stay in Japan for 1 more year for further training and to give failed candidates another chance for qualification exam to work in Japan. This is the third time the government of Japan has decided to give an extra year to prospective health-care workers from Philippines and Indonesia. First extension was in 2011 and the second was in 2013, which a Japanese official said has helped boost the overall pass rate. The candidates arrived in Japan and take language lessons for six months and received on-the-job training. Candidate nurses are given three chances to take the exams and one for caregivers. An extension makes it possible for prospective nurses to sit for the test four times and for caregivers twice. Around 2,200 trainees have so far come to

Japan from the two Southeast Asian countries in line with the agreements.

1. T i n i p a k R i v e r (Tanay, Rizal).Tinipak River, a hidden p a r a d i s e i n B r g y. Dara i tan in Tanay, Rizal, was awarded as the cleanest inland b o d y o f w a t e r i n Region IV. Reaching this destination requires patience and endurance in trekking giant trails of rock, making Tinipak River a perfect getaway for those who love outdoor adventure. From giant boulders to tranquil and cool river water, this place has everything you need to enjoy an adrenaline-filled weekend.2. Jomal ig Is land (Quezon Province).Jomalig is a lesser-k n o w n i s l a n d municipality in Quezon Province. I t boasts o f go ld and wh i te beaches, the reason why many backpackers call it a dessert paradise in the middle of the ocean. Feast your eyes on its two breathtaking beaches: The Kanaway Beach on the east side facing the Pacific Ocean, and the Salibungot Beach on the west facing Lamon Bay. Enjoy a gastronomic adventure by tasting some of the exotic seafood the island offers: Lobster, shrimps, crab, and the fish called surahan, considered by people in Pollilo Islands as the world’s most delicious.3. Seco Island (Antique).T h e S e c o I s l a n d i s a s e r e n e a n d uninhabi ted is land located about 50 km west of Panay. I t ’s basical ly an island made of white sand stretching 1.5 kilometers in the middle of the ocean. The island paradise was named after the Kinaray-a word for “elbow” due to its shape. Named as one of the best kiteboarding spots in the Philippines, Seco Island is also the ideal place for those into camping and even as simple as soul-searching.

4. Corcuera Island (Romblon).Corcuera is a virgin island municipality in Romblon and home to white sand beaches that could rival Boracay’s.

Locals still refer to it as Simara, the island’s old name when it was still part of Banton town. It was later renamed in 1931 to honor Spanish Governor General Hurtado de Corcuera who ruled the country from 1635 to 1644. Swimmers will surely enjoy the seashores in barangays Poblacion, Ambulung, Tacasan, Colong-Colong, Mangansag and Alegria. You can also visit other tourist attractions such as caves filled with stunning stalagmites and stalactites.5 . Quezon Beach (Patikul, Sulu).Q u e z o n B e a c h i n Patikul, Sulu is a non-commercialized tourist des t ina t ion known for its fine sand and crystal-clear waters. It is considered as one of the best beaches in the country–some even say its better than the world-renowned Boracay.6. Calayan Is land (Cagayan).Calayan is an island in Cagayan located 60 km north of Luzon i n t h e B a b u y a n Channel. It is the seat of municipality of a town of the same name which is also comprised of Camiguin, Dalupiri and Babuyan Claro. Together, they make up four of the five islands (the fifth being Fuga Island of the Aparri municipality) of the Babuyan Islands. Thanks to its remote location, Calayan Island is said to be as stunning as the nearby Batanes province. It boasts of white sand beaches, thick rainforests, and coves among others. Calayan Island is also home to Calayan rail, an endemic species of bird locally known as piding.

7. Balot Island (Sultan Kudarat).Balot Island may be a less popular choice for family vacations, but that doesn’t mean i t c a n ’ t c o m p e t e w i t h o t h e r h i g h l y commercialized beaches in the country. One of the six islets in Kalamansig in Sultan Kudarat, Balot Island has all the components of a perfect summer getaway: It has white sand, stunning rock formations, and clear blue sea water showcasing amazing coral reefs.

8 . N ag s a s a C ove (Zambales).If you’re looking for an untouched and uninhabited paradise n e a r M a n i l a , t h e N a g s a s a C o v e i n Z a m b a l e s s h o u l d definitely top your list. Located in San Antonio, it’s one of the three coves in the area–the other two namely Anawangin and Capones.

So all your bags are packed and you’re now ready to go somewhere peaceful, private, and relaxing. Problem is, that kind of place is a rarity nowadays. You mention “vacation spot” and

people will immediately think of Boracay, Puerto Galera, and Pagudpud. Yes, they can still be great places to unwind but if you prefer solitude, there are other less popular places that can give you just that. The good news is that you don’t even have to leave the country to visit some unspoiled vacation spots. Here are just 8 of the most stunning hidden paradises in the Philippines that are worth including on your bucket list:

Sa isang samahan hindi naman puwdeng parati na puro romansa at kilig ang ma-ngingibabaw. Kailangan din na inaasikaso ninyo ang inyong mga proyektong dalawa gaya ng halimbawa ng pagsosyo sa isang kabuhayan, planong paglalakbay o pagbili ng bahay. Kahit naman na ganoon ay hindi mawawala ang saya, sa halip pa nga ay

mas kapansin-pansin na naglalapit ang inyong loob dahil dito. Masarap at magaan sa pakiramdam na alam mong may katuwang ka.

Scorpio - Oct. 24 - Nov. 22

May kadaldalan ka rin at mapapansin mo iyan sa mga susunod na araw na parang hindi buo ang araw mo na wala kang nakakakwentuhan. Mabuti na ‘yan na ikaw mismo ang naglalapit sa iyong sarili sa ibang tao at baka pa nga ay may kapwa ka na naaaliw sa tu-wing kayo ay nag-uusap. Kung susumahin din naman sa komunikasyon nagkakaroon ng

social life, kaalaman at namumuo ang isang malalim na relasyon. Ang dapat mo lang pag-ingatan ay huwag ikuwento ang mga bagay na dapat ay nananatiling nililhim.

Aquarius - Jan. 21 - Feb. 19

Malakas ang paniniwala mo sa pag-ibig at handa kang hintayin ang taong alam mong tunay na itinitibok ng iyong puso. Tama nga naman na hindi kumo’t may umaaligid ay siya na kaagad ang dapat mong sunggaban para masabi lang na mayroon kang karelasyon. Subalit, para naman doon sa nahanap na ang kabiyak ng kanilang puso,

makabubuti na paninindigan ang paniniwala na sila ang pinagtagpo ng tadhana. Sabi nga ng isang kanta ay ‘Got to Believe in Magic.’

Taurus - April. 21 - May. 21

Nag-aalab ang nararamdaman mong pag-ibig ngayon at hindi ito iyong tipong malakas na biglang hihina sa mga susunod na araw. Katunayan ito iyong tipo ng pag-ibig na nagtatagal para bigyan ng liwanag at tamang init ang iyong buhay. Damhin mo lamang ang kasiyahan na nagaganap sa iyong paligid. Huwag mong hayaan na maapektuhan ka

ng konting problema para maging maayos din ang relasyon mo sa iba lalo na sa espesyal na tao sa iyong buhay. Isipin mo palagi na may mas magandang bukas ang taong marunong magpahalaga at lalong-lalo na ang handang magmahal.

Leo - July. 23 - August. 22

Kapag magulo ang isipan at ng iyong puso, iwasan mo rin na magkaroon ng malaking desisyon. Huwag kang magpadala sa bugso ng damdamin dahil bukod sa nabubulagan ka ay baka mapasok ka sa isang gusot na mahihirapan kang malusutan. Hinay lamang at hayaan na tapusin mo muna ang isang problema bago ka tumalon sa isang pag-

subok. Kung wala kang awa sa iyong sarili, bigyan mo ng pagpapahalaga ang mga taong umaalala sa iyong kapakanan.

Virgo - Aug. 23 - Sept. 23

Nasa mabuting estado ang inyong relasyon na kung saan kapwa ninyo naiintindihan at pinagkakatiwalaan ang isa ‘t isa. Pangalagaan mo ito sa pamamagitan ng pag-iwas sa mga salik na posibleng makasira sa inyo matatag na samahan. Tandaan na iba ang pag-iwas kaysa paggawa ng sariling multo na kahit wala naman problema ay

pinapalaki. Basta gawin mo ang parte mo at maging bukas ka sa pakikipag-usap sa kanya.

Libra - Sep. 24 - Oct. 23

Maaaring minsan malungkot o kaya naman parang walang excitement pero hindi naman ibig sabihin nito ay malas ka na agad sa pag-ibig. Kung ikukumpara mo lagi ang inyong relasyon sa iba ay sigurado ka ngang mararamdaman mo na parang may kulang. Bakit? Sadya namang laging mayroon ang iba na wala kayo dahil unang-una

iba ang kanilang pinagdadaanan. Maniwala kang masuwerte ka sa kanya at siya sa iyo at hindi maglalaon ay magiging kontento ka kahit marami pa kayong planong hindi natutupad.

Sagittarius - Nov. 23 - Dec. 21

Kinaiinggitan ka pagdating sa larangan ng pag-ibig dahil tila madali para sa iyo ang magmahal at may magmahal. Maganda rin talaga na hindi mo hinahayaan na mawalan ng oras para sa pakikipagsosyalan. Sa pamamagitan kasi nito ay nakakakuha ka ng ideya, koneksyon at positibong enerhiya. Kaya ang tangi mo na lamang alalahanin ay huwag ka

lamang sosobra para hindi ka rin magkulang sa ibang aspeto ng iyong buhay.

Aries - March. 21 - April. 20

Huwag kang mahiyang ihinga sa iyong kapareha kung may pinagdadaanan ka sa iyong trabaho. Dapat sa kanya mo ipinagkakatiwala ang iyong loob at sa kanya ka rin kukuha ng kumpiyansa para lumaban. Maganda rin naman ang humingi ng payo sa iyong mga kasama para sa propesyonal na aspeto. Pero iba kapag nanggagaling sa puso ang

ibinibigay na payo sa iyo, dinadamayan ka na at naipapaalala pa sa iyo na kahit anong mangyari ay hindi lang karera ang mahalaga sa mundo.

Pisces - Feb. 20 - March. 20

Kahit pa sabihing kayo naman talaga ang magsasama, hindi maiiwasan na makaka-apekto sa inyo ang problema ng iyong pami-pamilya. Nasa inyo kung papaapekto kayo pero mabuti na napag-uusapan ninyo ang ayaw at gusto ninyo. Siyempre maigi na nag-kakatulungan kayo pero kung hindi talaga kaya na makisama ay magpakatotoo kayo at

magkaroon ng kasunduan. Isang dahilan nga iyan kaya mainam sa mga mag-asawa na bumukod ng bahay para iwas gusot.

Capricorn - Dec. 22 - Jan. 20

Makakatulong sa isang magsing-irog na sumali sa isang grupo na kung saan pareho si-lang interesado o may kinalaman sa kanilang hilig. Bagaman maganda ang pagkakaroon ng quality time sa isa’t isa, mainam pa rin maging bukas ang isipan na hindi lamang sa iisang tao dapat iikot ang mundo ninyo. Ganoon din ang gawin mo sa iyong kapareha,

para hindi kayo magkasawaan at sa halip ay sabay pa kayong umunlad at makadiskubre ng bagay-bagay sa inyong mga sarili.

Gemini - May. 22 - June. 21

Panahon na rin siguro na pag-usapan ninyo ang tungkol sa pera, hindi para pag-awayan kundi para magkasundo. Bagaman ang pera at pag-ibig ay mahirap pag-ugnayin, mas lalong magkakaroon ng problema sa hinaharap kong hindi ito pinag-uusapan. Mas alam ninyo ang kagustuhan o plano ng bawat isa, mas malinaw ang takbo ng inyong

pananalapi. Baka naman gusto ninyo mag-ipon para sa bahay o magtayo ng isang negosyo?

Cancer - June. 22 - July. 22

jasmine at sam, pinaghihiwalay ni anne curtis? xian lim, persona non grata sa albay?

Dagdag pa sa kanilang balita ay marahil isang malaking da-hilan nito ay ang hindi pagkakagusto ng ate ni Jasmine na si Anne Curtis sa binatang singer-actor. Matatandaan na nagkaroon na rin ng insidente sa isang bar noon sina Anne at Sam kung saan tinawag ng aktres ang binata di umano ng “not classy.” Pero pagkatapos nito ay nanahimik ang isyu na ito at nahalungkat na lamang ulit dahil sa pagkaka-labuan ng dalawa. Bagaman wala pang kumpirmasyon sa kampo nina Sam at Jasmine sa estado ng kanilang relasyon ay may nagsasabi na mapapansin naman sa mga Instagram nga mga ito ang pag-hupa ng kanilang sweetness sa isa’t isa. Samantala, naka-katanggap din ng pamba-bash si Anne dahil sa pagdawit ng kaniyang pangalan. Ipinagtanggol naman kaagad siya ni Jas-mine. “Call me names for what happened but don’t involve her because she has nothing to do with what has happened,” saad ng Kapatid actress laban sa isang nag-comment na matapobre umano si Anne.

Ayaw ng patulan ng dating PBA player na si Benjie Parasa ang pasaring ng kanyang dat-ing asawa na si Jackie Forster sa Instagram nito na kung saan nanawagan ito sa dalawa nilang anak na sila Andre at Kobe at tila pag-

papalabas ng pangit nitong karanasan sa piling niya. Bagaman nagsimula at nagtapos sa panawagan sa kan-yang mga anak na kanyang name-miss dahil wala siyang komunikasyon sa mga ito, naging malaman ang mahaba-habang post ng isa sa mga ‘Regal Baby’ noong dekada ’90. Aniya ay wala raw siyang boses, sunod-sunuran at second priority lamang ng taong pinakasalan niya na sampong taon ang tanda sa kanya. “I ‘fell in love’ with a man 10 years older at 15, since my mom was against the relationship for obvious reasons, she had no choice but to move back to the U.S. since the man told her he would marry me once he had his season break

which was months away,” ang mensahe ng dating aktres talent na si Jackie. “We lived together first, in those next months I would have get pregnant and have 2 miscarriages. Why and how they happened I will save for a more appropriate time. Not know-ing any better, I still married him a few months later mainly so my family wouldn’t be ashamed I lived with him and also because I believed he would change. “After we were married in December, I became pregnant with Andre, the situation in the home didn’t change and worse… his mom came for a trip and one day asked me if we had any marital problems she can help with. So I shared a few… “Once my then husband came home, all hell broke loose because he was upset I told her his issues and she believed him. To make this short, she yelled at me saying ‘Palayasin mo ‘yan dito! Tandaan mo, Jackie, wala akong apo sa ‘yo!!!’ What was I supposed to do? I was pregnant and I’d had 2 previous miscarriages... I had to leave. “I left for the U.S. and spent most of my pregnancy there with only a few phone calls with him and one visit during the summer. My due date was Nov. 3, An-dre was born Nov. 1 His dad never arrived. His reason for not coming sooner was he had an important game and his reason for not following after the birth was a typhoon. I was all alone. I should have known better. “I turned 17 3 weeks after Andre was born. I flew to Ma-nila shortly after on a flight all by myself where both Andre and I develop a fever... do you think anybody took us for medical help when we landed??? So many signs… I was so naive. I was always second best and never a priority. I never had a voice. “Maybe that’s why he married a child? I don’t

regret any of it because in the end I had Andre and Kobe. “But this would prove to be the beginning of a very miser-able life. #imissandloveyouAndreandKobe” Matagal nang hindi kinikibo ng mga anak niyang sina An-dre at Kobe na kapwa na rin gumagawa ng pangalan nga-yon. Si Andre ay nakagawa na ng mga proyekto sa telebi-syon at pelikula gaya ng Ang Diary ng Panget, habang si Kobe naman ay prime player ng LA Cathedral Phantoms sa US. “Wala, I don’t care, kasi I’m happy with the life I have now. I have a new mom [Lyxen Diomampo], she’s better and she treats us the way that we want to, and not like what she (For-ster) did to us,” saad ni Kobe sa panayam sa kanya noong 2013 sa launch ng Viva Artist Agency. “I’m happy with my life and I’m just focusing on the good side. I won’t focus on the bad side, because past is the past, and we’re already ahead to the future. I’m just going to focus now, and I’m not going to mind it.” Samantala, sinubukan naman ng celebrity news site na Pep.ph na kausapin first PBA Rookie-MVP na si Benjie. Saad nito ay ayaw na niyang patulan dahil nakaraan na ang mga sinabi ng dating asawa.

“Masaya na ako sa kanya nung nagpakasal siya at nag-karoon ng dalawang anak. Sana masaya na lang tayo sa isa’t isa,” sagot ni komedyante.

Hindi naging maganda ang pagbisita ng Kapamilya actor na si Xian Lim sa Albay para sa Fiesta Tsinoy 2015 ng la-lawigan ng Albay. Di umano ay bukod pa sa tinanggihan ng perennial love team ni Kim Chiu ang ibinibigay na t-shirt sa kanya ng isang officer ni Governor Joey Sal-

ceda ay nagsalita pa umano ito ng “I am not here to promote Albay.” “PTCAO [Provincial Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office] gave souve-nir Tshirt printed with - ‘Warm Albay’ “Xian Lim rejected it.  “PTCAO gave coffee book table titled - ‘Warm Albay’ - Xian Lim re-jected it . “Then Xian Lim says why: I AM NOT HERE TO PROMOTE ALBAY,” sunod-sunod na patutsada sa Facebook ni Salceda sa naganap na insidente noong Pebrero 19. Ipinagtanggol din ng opisyal ang kanyang tauhan na hiniya umano ni Xian dahil sa kanyang pagtanggi. “Ordinary staff ng PTCAO ang ininsulto at hiniya ni Xian Lim. Togeth-er with ordinary Albayanos, they are the ones who work hard, silently and patiently for Albay tourism. And based on the prevarications on his posts, he is not getting it. “1. Hindi namin pinapasuot ang Tshirt sa guests. Binibigay lang “2. The mere fact that coffee book table is called Warm Albay and the tshirt is Warm Albay should already be obvious that these are typi-cal touristic materials. The PTCAO incident morally approximates the cruelty and brutality in Maguindanao, and what’s worse we did not pay the MILF P350,000 to do it and we expected something better from him since he is not a terrorist, instead an artist. No forgiveness deserved,” dagdag pa nito. Samantala, nagpaabot na rin ng paghingi ng tawad ang ‘Bride for Rent’ actor sa gobernador at sa kanyang nasaktan sa pangyayari. Subalit nilinaw nito ang dahilan bat niya tinanggihan at kung ano talaga ang sinabi niya noong araw na iyon sa pamamagitan ng Twitter. “My exact words to her [Atty. Cruz ] were ‘Sorry po, hindi ko maisuot yung tshirt kasi baka magka-conflict sa clothing endorsement ko. Pas-ensya na po,’” mensahe ni Xian. “I love Albay and I am always happy to be here with its good people. I deeply apologize to gov. Salceda and the people of Albay for the misunderstanding about my reasons for refusal to wear the t shirt.” “My parents raised me to be respectful and generous to everyone, and my management has always stressed the virtue of decency and humility. I do not do drugs and have worked hard to get to where I am.” “If you send me the t shirt and after I have cleared it with my clothing endorsement, I would be more than happy to wear it online and on air. I am also very willing to promote the book of Albay.” Sa panayam ni Xian sa The Buzz ay muling nilinaw ng aktor ang kanyang panig gaya ng pagkakasaad niya sa Twitter. At sa kabutihang palad ay ginawad na rin ni Salceda ang kanyang kapatawaran na inire din sa programa. “In the spirit of Lent, and in the season of Kuwaresma, and on behalf of the people of Albay, I will accept his apology and it’s a necessary first step of repentance. And after repentance is penance, so bilang pen-ance niya po, e, talagang dahil ang nasaktan dito ay Albay toursim, so Albay tourism ang kailangan tulungan niya.
