UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Anne Curtis speaks out about lowering the age of criminal responsibility

A

nne Curtis used social media platforms to voice her opinion regarding lawmakers working on passing a bill that lowers the age of criminal responsibility.

Anne, who is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, said that she stands with the “Council for the Welfare of Children, civil society organizations, professional associations, child protection experts, well-meaning citizens, parents and the youth.”

“I stand with them for NOT lowering the criminal age of responsibility but instead supporting the full implementation of the current law of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act,” she wrote.

“I understand that there are those who see differently but if you could only try and discern that they are STILL CHILDREN, are victims of their circumstance and are still young enough to change their ways,” she added.

Anne reiterated that these children who are “in conflict” with the law are already victims of poverty and exploitation and so there is still a chance for them to change.

“Instead of being penalized, they should have access to proper rehabilitation—where they can be properly cared for to understand what they may have done wrong, learn to change their ways and be given a second chance at life,” she said.

In the end, she said, “I stand with UNICEF as they call on the Government to work with child rights defenders and strengthen the juvenile justice system for the sake of all Filipino children,” with the hashtag “#ChildrenNotCriminals.”

Under the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act, the age of criminal responsibility is set at 15 and so minors under 18 years old would not face charges but would be put in rehabilitation and other institutions to help them instead.

While Anne’s celebrity friends showed their support for her views, it received mixed reactions from her 11.7 million Instagram followers.

“Proud of you Anita. Ilaban ang magandang kinabukasan ng mga kabataan,” Angel Locsin said.

UNICEF also commented and said, “Thank you for speaking up, Anne! ALL CHILDREN must be treated with dignity and accorded their inalienable rights. Children in conflict with the law, who are already vulnerable and exploited, need to be protected and not further penalized. They deserve a second chance in life. They are #ChildrenNotCriminals.”

Eddie Garcia, still on life support

S

till in a deep comatose state after figuring in an accident last weekend, veteran actor Eddie Garcia is reportedly deteriorating despite being on a life support machine at the intensive care unit of Makati Medical Center (MMC) where he was transferred, according to a report from local news site PhilStar this Thursday.

Lilibeth Romero, the longtime partner of the former Ang Probinsyano star, confirmed this in the said interview, where she shared exclusive details about his unfortunate condition at length for the first time.

“He was declared DOA (Dead On Arrival) at the first hospital,” said Lilibeth, referring to Mary Johnston Hospital in Tondo, Manila where Eddie was first rushed on Saturday morning. “I learned that when he stumbled on a cable wire and hit his head on the pavement, he broke his spinal cord.

It was the ‘freakest’ of accidents that could have been prevented.”

Contrary to initial reports, Eddie didn’t suffer from a heart attack but of a neck injury after accidentally tripping on a wire during the taping of a program he is starring in. This was attested by Dr. Enrique Lagman, her uncle and one of the doctors from MMC where he was initially revived and later on placed under critical condition, said Lilibeth.

“I was asked if I wanted to have Eddie resuscitated but I bided my time. I might make a decision this afternoon (yesterday),” she added.

As of today, Eddie remains reportedly unresponsive, his condition described as one of “Glasgow coma, the lowest rate.”

Of the incident, Lilibeth could barely hide her disappointment over the lack of a medic or standby vehicle on the set, having called Eddie’s one “that could have been prevented.”

“I was told that the accident happened on the third shoot of the same scene from anoth-

er angle,” told Lilibeth, who said that she hasn’t spoken to the management of GMA network yet, “and they should have checked the condition of the street and if cable wires were scattered all around.”

Although she was told that Eddie was in a comfortable place (in an air-conditioned tent, to be exact) while waiting to shoot his scenes prior to the accident.

The news, of course, came

as a surprise to her more than anyone since Lilibeth was aware that Eddie was in good condition based on their routinely check-up once every three months. “His blood pressure and blood sugar were normal,” said Lillibeth, “And he even campaigned (for a party list) in last May 13 elections, staying under the oppressive sun for hours. I was with him, prepared with towels, drinks and sandwiches. So I was devastated when I saw that accident on the video clip. And it had to happen in line of work! I saw the video only once and I don’t want to see it again.”

She also added that “nothing unusual” happened the night before and the morning of the accident. “Everything was the usual. As he used to, he was smiling when he bade me goodbye. At the ICU, I keep on whispering to him, never mind if he doesn’t respond at all, not even with a slight movement of his fingers.”

Senator Grace Poe: ‘Protektahan natin ang mga nagta-trabaho sa set’

S

a ulat ng TV Patrol, may paalala si Senator Grace Poe matapos niyang ikabahala ang nangyari sa aktor na si Eddie Garcia na hanggang ngayon ay nasa comatose state pa rin sa Makati Medical Center.

Ayon sa Senadora, “Protektahan natin ang ating mga nagtatrabaho sa set. Lalong-lalo na kung action scene.”

Napatid ang beteranong aktor sa cable wire sa set ng isang palabas kung saan kabilang ng

aktor, na naging cause naman ng neck injury na nagbunsod ng present condition ng aktor.

Hindi rin daw nagsasalita si Senator Poe para manisi kundi para magpaalala lang, “Hindi sa pagsisisi maski na kanino, pero importante may naka-standby sana na doctor o medic.”

Isa si Senator Poe sa mga dumalaw sa beteranong aktor sa ospital matapos mabalitaan ang nangyari.

Kim Chiu, Xian Lim, and Erich Gonzales finish look test for ‘Love Thy Woman’

S

tars Kim Chiu, Xian Lim, and Erich Gonzales are preparing for the launch of their newest television series, Love Thy Woman.

As seen in photos shared by a certain Lizette Franco on Instagram last Sunday, the main cast just finished their screen test for the show billed as the next big serye with its unique storyline and powerhouse cast.

Kim stars as the daughter of Sunshine Cruz and Christopher de Leon, while Xian will play as the fiance of Erich Gonzales’ character, who happens to be Kim’s half-sister.

According to host and eventologist Tim Yap, who is set to make his debut in a TV series through Love Thy Woman, the story deals with “the crazy, rich lives of Chinoys and how love, family and scandal are intertwined with lots of twists and turns that’ll make you glued to your screens nightly.”

Kim, for her part, said that she’s p r o u d and happy to go back to her roots as a Chinese in the

show. “Nung sinabi na about sa FilipinoChinese [family] and i-introduce siya sa mga tao, mas malalaman pa nila kung ano ‘yung kuwento ng traditional Filipino and Chinese so I am very proud,” she said in an interview with ABSCBN News previously.

The project marks her much-awaited reunion with Xian whom she last worked with in the primetime series ‘The Story of Us in 2016.

Like Kim, Xian is excited about how their avid fans will welcome the show. “This is something for [our supporters] and this is something that we’ve been waiting for,” he said.

Meanwhile, despite having to take on the task of learning not only her lines but the Mandarin language for her role as Queenie Wong, Erich didn’t have qualms accepting the project much like her co-stars Kim and Xian. “Nung prinesent nila sa akin ‘yung story, na-excite ako sa kuwento kasi family drama siya… Exciting lang mapanood kung paano gagawin ‘yung mga eksena kasi I think first time mapapanood sa TV ‘yung ganun,” she said.

Aside from Kim, Xian, Erich, Tim, Sunshine, and Christopher, Dreamscape’s Love Thy Woman stars other big names such as Eula Valdez, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Ruffa Gutierrez and Jennifer Sevilla, to name a few.

The acclaimed actor has under-

gone a quiet transformation over the past year, sporting a scruffy beard and growing his hair.

This did not escape even President Rodrigo Duterte, who met Cruz at a dinner the official hosted for several celebrities in Malacañang on Tuesday.

“Kita ra ba nako si, kami ni, didto sa party sa Malacañang. ‘Di ka kaila sa iyang bana. Nagpatubo og bungot, nagpataas og buhok,” he said.

Adarna is Cruz’s current girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Duterte had nothing but praise for Adarna.

“Pero tinuod ha? Walay binuang, usa sa mga nakit-an nako nga guwapa nga tisay nga Pilipina. Pero walay binuang, gamay lang nga babae, pero kanang porma sa lawas, gwapo kaayo,” he said.

(‘Yung totoo, walang biro, isa siya sa mga nakita ko na magandang mestisa na Pilipina. Maliit na babae, pero maganda ang katawan.)

Minsan nakakatuwa sa mall, bigla-bigla may hahampas sa shoulder mo, sasabihin, ‘Napaka-salbahe mo.’ Tapos bigla sasabihin, ‘Pakuha nga ako picture.’ Sabi ko, ‘O bakit papakuha ka picture?’ ‘Hindi alam ko naman sa show lang yun.’ So basically, it really warms my heart na nakaka-apekto ako sa kanila,” masayang kuwento ni Tirso sa PUSH.

Gerald Anderson shares what he loved most about Japan

A

fter traveling to Japan earlier this year to shoot his latest film Between Maybes with Julia Barretto, Gerald Anderson shared he only has nice things to say about the prefecture of Saga where they shot all of the film’s scenes.

“I had a great experience nung nagshoot kami ng movie dun because kung saan kami nag-shoot very quiet and masarap yung pagkain and maganda yung kultura. It’s the culture, everyone was friendly, nagtutulungan, malinis yung lugar talaga,” he said during the Lights, Camera, Action celebrity screening event held last May 26 inside ABS-CBN.

Another reason why Gerald stated he wouldn’t mind visiting Japan again was because of the variety and quality of the food available.

“Well number one reason talaga yung food. Masarap yung Saga beef, sa Saga kasi kami nag-shooting eh. Pati sushi, sashimi, lahat yan kinakain ko. Lahat kinakain ko (laughs),” he revealed.

Aside from Saga, Gerald shared he also got to do a day trip to another beautiful city nearby.

“Fukouka was nice. Kasi maliit

yung Saga so we had one day and pumunta kami sa Fukouka na medyo big city so it was a different environment,” he added.

After seeing Japan, the actor is hoping to visit another new country where he can fulfill another item on his bucket list.

“Gusto ko pa mag dive with the great white (sharks) na hindi ko pa nagagawa. Nakapag-dive ako with sharks but with great whites hindi pa. Wala lang time.

Naghahanap ako ng great whites. Ibang experience din yan. ,” he said.

Currently, Gerald is preparing for his upcoming TV series.

“May soap ako ipapalabas very soon at tini-tape namin ngayon. It’s something very physical and very dramatic and it’s about family, it’s about friendship, and it’s about brotherhood,” he remarked.

Kahit na magkakasunod na tagumpay ang kanyang tinatamasa ngayon

sa kanyang karera, hindi ito dahilan para lumaki ang kanyang ulo.

“For me there will always be times na overwhelming.

Pero kapag dumadating po yung time na yun, when you get to that point in your life, you have to think about why you started doing this in the first place.

You have to go back to your passion and your drive for doing what you love, which for us is singing and music. It also helps to kind of refresh yourself. Huwag mo i-push yung sarili mo to keep doing kung hindi na kaya… you have to have balance,” pahayag pa ni Darren.

Kasalukuyan ngayon na nasa Singapore si Darren para sa special performance kasama ang ilan pang OPM singers.

REFLECTIONS

PEACE MAKING–PART I

onsider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance (Jas. 1:2,3).

These trials come because we live in a fallen world of sinful men and the sinister presence of evil in it. Our Lord reminds us that in this world you will have troubles (John 16:33). These trials and troubles include conflicts among Christians in their marriage, at home, at work, and in the church. Even mature Christians have conflicts. Illustrative cases are the conflict between Paul and Barnabas over Mark (Acts 15:3641) and that of Euodia and Syntychefor unknown reasons (Phil. 4:2-3).

Of course, conflicts can have disastrous results such as violence, breakups of friendship, assassination of character, division in a church or an institution, and many others. But not all conflicts are bad for good can come out of it. In the New Testament, the early Christian church experienced conflict because some people complained that they were shortchanged in the distribution of food (Acts 6). But a solution developed that resulted in the change of structure of delivery of services for the better. Crisis can result in new cre-

ations. God said, I will do something new.

Conflict “begins when you are at odds with another person over what you think, want or do. It begins when you don’t get what you want” (Ken Sande & Kevin Johnson). This definition is consistent with what James, the brother of Jesus Christ, said: What causes fights and quarrels among you?

Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot get what you want. You quarrel and fight (Jas. 4:1-2).

When two Christians are in conflict for whatever reason, how are they to resolve their conflict and restore peace between them? Of course, one can deny that there is a conflict or simply run away from it or go into depression. Often one simply quitsor resigns.

Of course, one can just overlook the cause of the conflict and forgive. The Bible says, “The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. And his glory is to overlook a transgression” (Prov.

19:11). This will be noble although but there are conflicts that one cannot simply ignore. These solutions do not solve the problem nor will it give lasting peace of mind. This is simply peace

that’s very important to him. And then also his love for food. Yun yung natutunan ko talaga sa kanya yun. He would spend hours in the kitchen just for a meal na mauubos naman within a few minutes, alam mo yun?

But I really appreciate that. Marami kang matututunan, yung patience and creativity sa pagluluto,” she shared.

faking.

Ken Sande and Kevin Johnson offer the Four Gs of conflict resolution which I find very helpful with some modifications. The first is GO HIGHER. Focus on God. What is God saying to me at this time? Can I hear God in the midst of conflict giving me a new commission, a new direction or a new way of doing things? God works through the events and structures of history. Our God is the God of newness. We are horizontal-focused during conflicts – between parties. We start with a vertical focus – God and His glory alone. Conflicts provide opportunities to glorify God. The Bible says, Whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31).?

The second G is GO INNER. Get real. Most conflicts, if not all, are products of contributory factors. Jesus said, How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye ….”

(Matt. 7:3-5). Analyze the conflict thoroughly. Face the facts. Ask a mature Christian-friend to spot your failings. Listen to their advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise (Prov. 19:20). The truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Avoid an over-reaction to the conflict and take an adversarial position immediately.

Don’t prejudge the other person. Due process demands that we hear the other person’s side. Nicodimus asked during the almost ex parte hearing of Jesus before the Jewish leaders, Does our law condemns a man before it hears him

(Jn. 7:52).

Once you recognize our part in the conflict own the part one hundred percent. Even if your part may only be 10% of the conflict, own 100% of that 10%. Only then are you ready to initiate steps towards reconciliation and restoration of relationship.

Peace is worth our greatest effort. The Bible says, Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace (Eph. 4:3). Why? Because Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace.

Kapamilya ni Eddie Garcia nilinaw na hindi atake sa puso ang dahilan ng pagkatumba nito

N

ilinaw ng isang malapit na family member ng veteran actor na si Eddie Garcia na hindi totoong severe heart attack at stroke ang dahilan kung bakit nawalan ito ng malay kahapon (June 8) ng umaga habang nagti-taping ng isang teleserye.

Ayon pa sa kanyang pahayag kaya nawalan ng malay ang award-winning actor-director dahil dahil sumubsob ang mukha nito sa lupa nang madapa habang kinukunan ang isang eksena.

Napatid ang mga paa ng aktor sa isang kable kaya nawalan ito ng balance at bigla na lang bumulagta.

Kumalat naman agad ang video ng pagkadapa ni Manoy Eddie sa social media.

Ayon pa sa malapit na kapamilya ng aktor, dahil sa aksidente ay nagkaroon fracture ang kanyang base neck C1 at C2 vertebrae. Ngayong umaga ng June 9 ay naglabas naman ang GMA-7 ng official statement tungkol sa video kumalat sa social media mula sa insidente.

“The video of Mr. Eddie Garcia faltering in his steps and eventually

collapsing has reached GMA. We are seriously reviewing the said video as well as other videos of the same scene which our cameras also took before we make any conclusions on what really transpired.

“The statement that was released earlier was given to GMA News by Nick, Mr. Eddie Garcia’s stepson.

“We will wait for the family or

their doctor to issue a formal update on his condition. Meanwhile, we continue to pray for his quick recovery.”

them and I guess my message to my stepdad is thank you so much and I’m glad that my mom found her forever,” she said.

The former 2015 Miss Universe said she has learned a lot of valuable things from both her stepdad and biological dad.

“There’s really a lot. Magkaiba kasi sila. From my stepdad, his love for music talaga. Growing up with my stepdad and my mom together, lagi silang kumakanta ng mga ‘50s, ‘60s, and mga ‘70s na mga songs. Because yun yung kapanahunan nila, ganyan. And rumaraket kami before. We would go to nursing homes and then sing to them for two hours para meron kaming spending money, ganyan.

So I learned a lot of songs from them. Yun yung hanggang ngayon nadadala ko pa rin because when I go to some events and they play the old songs, meron akong pang ice breaker sa mga tao kasi ang dami kong natutunan from them, from my dad talaga,” she said.

Andi Eigenmann exposes concerning trash problem in Siargao

ndi Eigenmann is among the many residents of Siargao who are disquieted by the growing trash problem in the island.

Recently, the actress – who has since turned her back on the city life by relocating to the province – took to her Instagram Stories to share the side of her home that many don’t get to see: heaps of trash piled in the island’s back roads due to the high influx of tourists.

The photo she uploaded came from Rafael Nogalo, a certified surfing instructor and resident of Siargao, who on Wednesday called attention to the poor waste management on the island by sharing a series of concerning images on Instagram.

“While tourists sip cocktails on Siargao’s picture perfect beaches, mountains of rubbish are piled in our back roads - poisoning the ground water and creating irreversible damage to our beloved island home. Is this the

Joyce also joined Assunta de Rossi and Comedy Queen of the Philippines Aiai Delas Alas in the movie ‘Pinay Pie.’

Joyce was an in-demand cover girl for men’s magazine in the ‘90s. She last graced the cover of FHM Magazine in 2007.

In August 2008, Joyce married her Fil-Am boyfriend Paul Ely Egbalic who is a member of the United States Air Force.

Their union is blessed with two girls and a boy: Jorja Ely, Jaysen Elise, and “Pantasya ng Bayan.” We did a little digging and here’s what we found out.

Pag-amin pa ng aktres, nanibago siya sa una bilang ang mga teleseryeng The Better Half at Asintado ang huling naging proyekto niya, na may parehong mabibigat na roles na ginampanan.

“Although parang nanibago ako kasi, I came from The Better Half, and then I did Asintado after three weeks. So two years straight ‘yun na mahirap yung roles ko. And then bigla na lang akong binigyan ng light [role] na Shantal.

“Internally lang naman yung struggle ko na parang feeling ko hindi ako umaarte. Kasi sanay ako nang nagagalit, umiiyak, sumisigaw, puro [ganung] hugot
