My 2011 christmas message

Isang masaya at makabuluhang pasko sa ating lahat.
Ang pasko ay tunay na kaligayahan at pagbibigayan sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino at sa buong mundo
Nawa'y tunay na tunay na kaligayahan ay siyang naging maluwalhati ng pagbabago sa tunay na diwa ng pamilya kung tayo'y nag-iisa lang sa linis ng bawat tahanan.
Dinaranas tayo ng mga biktima ng mga kalamidad sa Bisayas at Mindanao milyun-milyung pisong nawala ng tahanan at kabuhayan pati na ang agrikultura at imprastraktura kabilang na ang iligal na pagtotroso na sanhi dahil sa climate change.
Tandaan.Itigil na ang demolisyon,Itigil na ang charter change.Itigil na ang mining at illegal logging.
Mula sa aking pamilya,bumabati po sa inyo ng isang Masaya at Makabuluhang Pasko sa inyong lahat

Antipolo Bans Styrofoam and Plastic Bags

ANTIPOLO CITY, Philippines — Business establishments are now required to adhere to the local government’s policy on the ban on the use of Styrofoam as packaging and the regulation on the use of plastic bags in this city.

This came as the two-year moratorium on City Ordinance 2009-370, which prohibits the use of plastic bags on dry goods and regulates its utilization on wet goods and prohibits the use of Styrofoam in the city, ended on Nov. 3, 2011.

Based on the ordinance, which has been disseminated to the public through the city’s Public Information Office, the use and storage of Styrofoam as containers for food, produce and other products shall now be illegal.

It is now also prohibited to use plastic bags on dry goods as primary packaging materials. However, on wet goods, business establishments shall only use plastic bags as primary packaging materials only.

Options for the business establishments include the use of environment-friendly packaging materials or biodegradable alternatives that include reusable materials, and paper bags, bayong, cloth bags, newspapers, used papers and many others.

The presence in the commercial establishment of significant quantity of non-environmentally acceptable packaging like Styrofoam and plastic bags shall constitute a rebuttable presumption of intent to sell or convey the same to customers.

The office of Mayor Danilo Leyble has yet to issue an update on the implementation of the ordinance as of Monday.

Penalties for the violators range from P500 or community service for not less than 6 hours for the first offense to P5,000 or imprisonment of not more than six months and for business establishments, the cancellation of their license to operate for one year for the fourth offense.

It was learned that major business establishments including SM Masinag, Shopwise, National Bookstore and Budget Lane Super Palengke have started using biodegradable packaging containers even prior to the start of the implementation of the environment-friendly ordinance.

The city’s mobile public address system has been making the rounds of the city as part of the city government’s information campaign on the ban on plastic bags and “styro” containers here.

Bishop targets "foul-mouthed" DJs of FM radio stations, urges KBP to punish them

Inquirer.net reports that Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes is urging the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) to go after "disc jockeys of some FM radio stations who use foul language on air and discipline them." Though Bastes did not name the DJs, he seemed particularly incensed by "those who run late-night radio programs."

In a segment broadcast over the Church-run Radio Veritas, Bastes said, "Some of the DJs, especially in midnight programs, are using indecent and vulgar language, which is not good since we are a Christian country." He went on to say that "listening to FM radio stations supposedly for relaxation and entertainment was no longer a joyful experience since radio personalities engage in talks with 'double meaning' or sexual innuendos."

Bastes said he found the DJs' behavior shameful and stressed that they must instead "use good words on air to help boost the character and morality of Filipinos. The KBP should really monitor and punish these DJs who use filthy language."

My message on Easter Sunday

Mga kasama,salubungin ang sambahayang Pilipino sa paggunita ng Pasko ng Muling Pagkabuhay.
Nawa ang tunay na diwa ng totoong pagbabago upang makamit lang mga hamong sinimulan ang walang pinipiling panahon upang matatamo lang ng aking trabaho.
Sa kabila ng mga krisis ngayon,lalong-lalo na ang paglilitis laban sa opisyal ng gobyerno at mga kontrobersyang nasasangkot sa ating lipunan,Angat sa iba ang bawat panatag at delikadesa ang may ginagawa sa aking pamana na may landas.
Bawat Pilipino ay may sariling pamilya.
Bawat Pilipino ay may bagong buhay.
Bubuhayin natin ang Pilipinas upang maging matatag na henerasyon
bilang tunay na ehemplo sa serbisyo publiko para sa pamilya upang makatulong sa ekonomiya patungo sa isang bagong buhay.
Kasama ako,tatay,nanay,ate,kuya,lolo,lola,tito,tita,lahat tayo may sariling tahanan.
Kasama ako,iisa ang totoong institusyon.
Muli,isang Masayang Pasko ng Pagkabuhay sa Isa at sa atin.
Bago naman ang Pilipinas.

GMA Hits WV and Southern Mindanao

The Kapuso network brought its A-listers to the regions to take part in the activities lined up for the celebration of various festivals. These include the Paraw Regatta, Bago City Charter Day, Bayawan City, and the Kalilangan 2011 held in Iloilo City, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental and General Santos City, respectively.

In Iloilo City, the Kapuso Night celebration for the colorful Paraw Regatta was held at the Villa Beach. A crowd of 15,000 people partied with Party Pilipinas’ resident Bad Boy on the Dance Floor Mark Herras; one of Bubble Gang’s resident hunk, Wendell Ramos; and one of the leading ladies in the upcoming soap My Lover, My Wife, Nadine Samonte.

At Bayawan City, Negros Oriental, the stars of primetime fantaserye Dwarfina and Party Pilipinas joined forces for the Tawo-Tawo Festival.

The GMA contingent composed of Will Devaughn, Vaness del Moral, Angelika Dela Cruz, and Mico Aytona participated in the Kapuso Street Dancing and Float Parade and the Kapuso Night at the Bayawan Integrated Center.

The line-up was further beefed up with the presence of Party Pilipinas’ Iza Calzado and Rochelle Pangilinan, together with Bubble Gang’s Maureen Larrazabal. More than 10,000 people flocked to the venue.

“All of our hard work and preparations paid off. Seeing this huge turnout is enough reward for all of our effort,” commented Jocelyn Bautista, Program Manager for Entertainment TV-Regional.

Meanwhile, in Bago City’s Charter Day celebration, the stars of Pablo S. Gomez’s Machete took centerstage, from comedienne Chariz Solomon to female leads Ryza Cenon and Bela Padilla.

When Machete himself finally appeared onstage, screams and shrills filled the air. Aljur also took a lady from the audience to join him onstage.



Local Kapuso personalities John Arceo and Ana Maris Igpit hosted the show, while Adrian Bobe facilitated the on-ground games which were held before the main show.

Kabalikat Civicom Group estimated that the crowd numbered to 15,000 to 20,000.

After Visayas, the Kapuso contingent flew to the country’s tuna capital – General Santos City, for the Kalilangan Festival. Kapuso stars led by Mark Anthony Fernandez, Katrina Halili, Maureen Larrazabal, and Will Devaughn starred in the Kapuso Night held at the convention center of the KCC Mall of Gensan.

Mark Anthony and Katrina both came off from the rousing success of their respective teleserye – Little Star and Beauty Queen, respectively.

Prior to the main show, the crowd – estimated to be at 4,500 – was treated to an episode marathon of the newest Kapuso show Nita Negrita. They also readily participated in the games prepared for them and was facilitated by Starstruck alumnus Chuck Allie and local personality Resci Rizada.

Bautista said, “All of these efforts are part of the network’s commitment of bringing superior entertainment to our Kapuso in the regions.”

Apart from its participation in the festivals, mall shows featuring the various programs and shows of GMA Network and its personalities will unfurl in key cities and various points in the country.

“The Network’s rollout of exciting activities and star-studded events for this year is surely something that our Kapusos from all over the regions can expect. We also expect more first-time partnerships with LGUs just like the recently concluded Tawo-Tawo Festival,” said Oliver Amoroso, assistant vice president for Regional Marketing and Sales.

Willing Willie live in Davao today

Pusposan na ang ginagawang paghahanda ng buong crew at staff ng Willing Willie, TV5 at Wil Productions para sa paparating na Willing Willie On-Tour na gaganapin sa Land of Promise, Mindanao, Agro Football Field, Quimpo Blvd. Ecoland, Barangay 76-A, Talomo District Davao City this coming February 26, 2011.

Araw na nga lang ang binibilang ng ating mga kababayan Davaoeño para masilayan nila ng personal at live na mapanood ang Willing Willie na dati ay sa telebisyon lang nila nakikita. Napakaswerte ng mga taga Davao dahil ito ang pangalawang destination na pinili ni Willie Revillame para magshow ang programang Willing Willie na napapanood natin sa TV5 mula Lunes hanggang Sabado.


Matatandaang nagshow na rin ang dating programa ni Willie na Wowowee sa Davao City na nilahokan ng libo-libong mga davaoeno. Kung naging matagumpay ang nakaraang Willing Willie On-Tour sa Lingayen Pangasinan, mas pagtitibayan pa daw ng buong grupo ang kanilang pagtatanghal sa Davao City.

Hindi lang pala ang Willing Willie ang magkakaroon ng show sa Davao City dahil nag-announced na rin ang Kapamilya Station na magkakaroon din daw sila ng show sa Davao City ngayong February 27, linggo ang ASAP Rocks!. Coincidence nga ba ito or talagang ayaw magpatalo ng Kapamilya network sa umaangat na station ang TV5.

Since na Sabado gaganapin ang Willing Willie, asahan na natin na manonood ang mga kapamilya artist na magtatanghal din sa Davao City.

Sadya nga bang matalino talaga ang TV5 Marketing dahil uunahan ng Willing Willie na magshow sa Davao City ang Kapamilya Network?

Kung baga tira-tira na lang ang excitement na mararanasan ng mga Kapamilya na magtatanghal sa Davao. Kung baga sure nasa Willing Willie ang siguradong crowd ng mga Davaoeño. Ganun pa man, swerte pa rin ng mga taga Davao.

Willing Willie Live in Davao City this coming February 26, 2011. See you there mga Kapatid!

Mga Henerasyon ng EDSA,Pilipinas,gagayahin ang Singapore

Mga henerasyon ng EDSA
Pilipinas gagayahin ang Singapore


Kahapon,Biyernes,ang ika-25 taong anibersaryo ng 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution,Si PNoy ang nanguna sa selebrasyon sa EDSA People Power Monument na dinaluhan nina Bise Presidente Jejomar Binay,dating Pang.Fidel V.Ramos,Speaker Sonny Belmonte,mga government officials at iba’t ibang personalidad ang dumadalo sa
mismong okasyon.
25 taong nakalipas nang giniba ang pamumuno ni Ferdinand Marcos sa pwesto at ibinalik ang demokrasya sa bansa sa pamumuno ni Corazon Aquino,ang ina ng ating pangulo.
Samakatuwid,buo ang loob ang henerasyon ng EDSA upang maibsan ang ating tunay at tapat na malinis na pamahalaan.
Mitsa ng pagkakaisa at pagtutulungan sa katotohanan at katarungan,kahit sandali ang kalye tungo sa tamang daang landas.
Pero minsan basahin ang kasaysayan,maraming tao ang uulanin sa EDSA.
Kung sukat akalain,tatalikdan mo ako ang iyong konsensya.
Nagsorry ang magkapatid na Aquino sa pamilya ni Marcos para ilibing siya sa Libingan ng mga Bayani.
Nag-alay lakad ang Yellow Ribbon Movement noong Huwebes at ang human chain sa Rizal High School noong Miyerkules.
Kumpara ang Pilipinas sa bansang Singapore,sabi ni Sen.Miriam Defensor Santiago at si Bongbong Marcos
baka sakaling maunlad ang Singapore kaysa doon sa atin.Di ba.
Sabay ang kaarawan niya noong Martes,pinasinayaan ni PNoy sina Senate Pres.Juan Ponce Enrile,FVR,at Sen.Gringo ang museum(museo)ng Department of National Defense kung saan sinariwa pa ang alaala ng 2 dating opisyal ni Marcos.nandiyan rin ang dating hepe ng binuwag na Philippine Constabulary na si Ret.Gen.Ramon Montano.Inaresto si Montano noong Feb.25,2006,ang anibersaryo ng People Power Revolution at pinalaya noong Feb.27,2006.
5 taong nakalipas nang ideklara ang state of emergency ni dating Pangulong Gloria Macapagal Arroyo,kinansela ang aktibidades ng EDSA pagkatapos ang actual rally sa Ayala Avenue noong bisperas ng selebrasyon kasama sina dating Pangulong Cory Aquino na nakisama ang mga malapit na tagasuporta nito.
Noon at ngayon,magbago na ang tingin ng pamumuhay ng Pilipino pagkatapos ng 25 taon ng ating buhay pagkatapos ng 1986 revolution.Hangad po naming ang maging inspirasyon upang makamit ang ating inaasam na pagsasarili laban sa mamamayang Pilipino.
Ngayong Sabado,susubukan ang galing ni Ana”The Hurricane”Julaton laban kay Franchesca Alcanter sa California.
Go go go Julaton!!!

This year, the observance focuses on the information and communcation technologies for the safeguarding and promotion of languages and linguistic diversity.

Languages are important tools for identity, communication, social integration, education, and development for humans. But as globalization increases, they are also increasingly under threat. People find it easier to communicate with widely used languages and children are no longer educated in languages spoken by a limited number of people. As fewer people use local languages, they gradually die out. When languages fade, so does the world’s rich tapestry of cultural diversity. Opportunities, transactions, memory, unique modes of thinking and expression – valuable resources for ensuring a better future – are also lost.

More than 50 percent of the approximately 7,000 languages spoken in the world are likely to die out within a few generations, and 96 percent of these languages are spoken by a mere 4 percent of the world’s population.

Languages play a vital role in development, in ensuring cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue, in strengthening cooperation and attaining quality education for all, in building inclusive knowledge societies and preserving cultural heritage, and in mobilizing political will for applying the benefits of science and technology to sustainable development.

Languages are the most powerful tools for the preservation and development of tangible and intangible heritage. All moves to promote the dissemination of mother tongues encourage linguistic diversity and multilingual education. They develop fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions throughout the world and they inspire solidarity based on understanding, tolerance, and dialogue.

According to program director Glenn Allona, Barangay LS bears the distinction of having successfully established the “crazy fun” sound brand in the market through programs like Talk To Papa and Wanted Sweetheart, among others. “With TugStugan Na!, we aim to bring back the focus on the staple of FM programming which is music. We need to balance, if not underscore, the vibrance of comedy-talk programming with a pleasant and highly-entertaining all-hits music format,” Allona shared.

“The new TugStugan Na! theme for LS is also a very positive call-out for the listening public as it encourages them to tune to more positive vibes,” added project manager Margaret Gil.

Barangay LS 97.1 offers clean fun and free on-air music. It can also play Cupid or love breaker, a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, an instant friend with a ready line-up of only the most popular songs in the land.
