cover story

Giit pa ng pangulo na ang mga nakikisawsaw sa pinakamalaking suliranin na kanyang kinasasangkutan hinggil sa pagkamatay ng 44 commandos ay pawang mga “attention seekers” lamang at sinasamantala ang pagkakataon.

Dagdag pa niya na mali-mali ang impormasyon na nakukuha niya sa kapwa dismissed officers na sina SAF Commander Getulio Napenas at former PNP Chief General Allan Purisima.

Ngunit ayon naman kay Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguellas na kabilang sa mga clerics na nagnanais na patalsikin sa puwesto ang pangulo, ito ay isa lamang pamamaraan ng pangulo upang tuluyan na huwag masisi sa nasabing engkwentro. Bagama’t ang pangunahin niyang itinuturo na may pananagutan, hindi naman maipaliwanag ng pangulo kung bakit ang suspindidong si Purisima ay may kapangyarihan na magbigay ng ground order sa isa sa mga delikadong misyon ng Special Action Force.

Kinundina naman ng BOI o Bureau of Inquiry ang salaysay na ito ng pangulo dahil ayon sa kanilang report na isinumite, mapapansin na walang consistency ang pahayag ng pangulo mula January 28 hanggang kasalakuyan.

Naging basehan din ng BOI ang pahayag ni PNOY na kumukontra sa mga txt messages sa pagitan nila ni Purisima.

“At one point during the press briefing, the President stated that he was on top of the hunt for Marwan and company for several months. The President also denied the involvement of the suspended CPNP Purisima in Oplan Exodus. However, in the succeeding Senate Hearings, suspended CPNP Purisima admitted that he was accountable for Oplan Exodus.”

“In the same press briefing, when the President was asked for a categorical answer if he gave the go signal for Oplan Exodus, the President did not directly address the question and replied that the question was rhetorical. He further said ‘tinutulungan ako ni General Purisima,"

SUSPEK SA MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE PANSAMANTALANG MAKAKALAYA

PANSAMANTALANG makakalaya ang pangunahing suspek sa Maguindanao massacre kung kinasawi ng 58 katao at 32 sa mga ito ay pawang mga mamahayag noong nakaraang Nobyembre ng taong 2009.

Si Sajid Islam Ampatuan anak ng dating Magunindano governor na si Andal Ampatuan Sr., na may kasong multiple murder ay pinayagan na makapag-piyansa at pansamantalang makalaya matapos ito maaprubahan ni Quezon City Regional Trial Courct Branch 221 Judge Jocelyn Solis-Reyes na nanghain ng kanyang bail petition.

Bagama’t walang piyansa ang kasong murder maari naman maghain ang sinuman akusado ng isang petisyon sa korte na pansamantalang makalaya.

Aabot sa P11.6 million ang piyansang binayaran ng dating provincial officer-in-charge na si Sajid Islam Ampatuan.

Kaugnay pa rin ditto, bagama’t pansalamantalang makakalaya at binigyan naman ito ng hold departure order upang hindi ito makalabas ng bansa.

JEANE NAPOLES BALIK PINAS Namataan kamakailan ang pamilya Napoles na naghahapunan sa isang sikat at mamahaling restaurant, ang Sofitel Hotel Manila’s Spirals Buffet sa Pasay.

Kasama ni Jeane ang kanyang ama na si Jaime, dalawang kapatid na sina James Christopher at Jo Christine at isang Caucasian na hinihinalang kasintahan ng 24 anyos na si Jeane.

Matatandaan na naging kontrobersyal si Jeane ng madamay sa isyu ng PDAF scam na kinasasakuntan ng kanyang inang Janet Lim-Napoles. Si Janet na tinguriang PDAF queen na kinasuhan ng tax evasion dahil sa di umano’y pagnanakaw nito ng halos P10 bilyon ng mga proyekto ng gobyerno.

Sa kaiinitan ng kontrobersya ay bigla nawala si Jeane na parang bula.

Hanggang sa naglabasan sa social media kung gaano karangya ang pamu-

muhay nito sa America. Kung kaya’t hindi nakaligtas sa mata ng Bureau of Internal Revenues ang dalaga at angking yaman ng kanyang pamilya.

Isa sa mga hinabol ng BIR ang $2million worth condo nito sa Los Angeles, real estate, mga mahahaling sasakyan tulad ng Porche, at ang unlimited party at shopping spree ng dalaga.

Sa mga nabanggit, humigit kumulang na P32milyon ang tax na hindi naba-

bayaran ni Jeane Napoles.

Samantala ang mga kapatid niyang sina James at Jo ay kasama sana ng kasalukuyang nakadetine na si Senator Juance Ponce Enrile na may kaugnayan pa rin sa pork barrel scam.

Pinabulaanan naman ni Atty. Bruce Rivera, legal counsel ni Janet Napoles na nandito nga sa Maynila ang pinakabatang Napoles.

MAKATI MAYOR JUNJUN BINAY SUSPINDIDO Mula pahina 1 preventive suspension ay magbibigay daan sa kanilang imbestigasyon.

Masususpindi rin ang ilan pa na may kinalaman sa kasong malversation, falsification at violating ng Section (3) ng Anti-Graft & Corruption Practices Act at Government Procurement Reform Act. Tinatayang P11.97 milyon ang nagastos sa nasabing kontrata ng building na wala man lang nangyaring public bidding.

“The complaint was filed following months of case-buildup and evidence gathering by the special panel composed of field investigators” pagtatapos ni Ombudsman Morales.

PACQUIAO KUMPIYANSA NA MAGTATAGUMPAY LABAN KAY MAYWEATHER

Sa isang press conference na ginanap sa Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles na nagharap na namang muli sina Manny Pacquiao at Flyod Mayweather Jr. Naging pormal ang nasabing presscon dahil walang pormahan at asaran mula sa magkabilang kampo.

Nagpahayag naman ang 36 anyos at eight-division champion na si Manny Pacquiao na bagaman hindi niya mapatumba ang 38 anyos at five-division titlist na si Floyd Mayweather Jr ay sigurado naman siyang maiiuwi niya ang tagumpay.

Ani ni Pacman "“I’m 100 per cent confident I will win. The world has

waited a long time to see us fight and finally the time has come.”

Bagaman bago pa ang Pebrero 20 at hindi pa opisyal at hindi pa napipirmahan ang kanilang sagupaan ay sinimulan na ni Pacman ang kanyang pagpapakundisyon. At ngayong kasado na ay mas umigting pa ang kanyang pageensayo sa kanyang training camp sa Wild Card Boxing Club sa Hollywood, California, sa pangunguna ng kanyang chief trainer at hall of famer Freddie Roach.

“Training is going incredibly. I have an amazing team around me.

There will be fireworks for sure but

only one winner.”

Dagdag pa ni Pacman "“I don’t care which way the victory comes, but it will be mine."

“I’m more worried about my last few fights with (Oscar) De La Hoya and (Miguel) Cotto than this fight,” pagtatapos ni Saranggani Congressman Pacquiao na kapwa niya tinalo.

Hirit naman ni Freddie Roach "“I love challenges. And this is the biggest challenge of my life. We’re fighting the best fighter in the world, and we’re going to kick his ass.”

FIL-AM WEDDING HOST, BECOMES SOUGHT- AFTER FASHION DESIGNER

GAMEDEV PHILIPPINES LOOKING TO BUILD PARTNERSHIP WITH MAJOR GAME INDUSTRY GameOps Inc, what the government and

T Wedding host turned to men's fashion designer, Amable Yalong presented his new collection in the capital of fashion world New York City.

Yalong shows up to his events all glammed up with his own custom made suits that caught the eyes of many would-be grooms and grooms men.

According to Yalong he was discovered in social media via Instagram, one of them asked him if he would like to host his own fashion show during the fall and winter Fashion week, which he grabbed immediately.

Yalong's Y2 men's collection caters to fashionistos' or style-conscious men with penchant for tuxedos, suits and casual wear.

According to Yalong his concept was based on 1930's style when men used to get dressed even if they're construction workers. However, these kind of styles are no longer available anymore, so now with his latest Y2 collection he would like to create a lifestyle more than just a trend.

Yalong's style has attracted fashionistos like former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Antonio Burress.

According to Burreness, Yalong has a brilliant mind and creator of out-of the box things. Burreness added that his creations are clean sleek that if a man want to become handsome debonair, he must come and see Yalong's outfits.

The oversize Y2 leather totes are literally the next big thing in men's fashion according to Yalong.

Seattle-based twin Fil-Am models Scott and Sean Bautista showed off their Y2 collection.

"Quality, luxury, a lot of class. His flair, you know the design, is a lot different from others that you see traditionally," the twins said.

Currently, Yalong’s clients can only get his designs from his website.

But he said it’s ony a matter of time until he finds a store front to house his Y2 collection in North New Jersey.

he Game Developers Association of the Philippines has been part of the Game Developers Conference held in San Francisco, for the world's largest and longest-running proffesional-only game industry event.

The Philippines is eyeing to build partnership with major game companies around the globe.

Furthermore Baluyut added that “Right now, I can tell you that in just five months of going out, three conventions, we’ve already made some major head way. We’ve gotten companies like Microsoft to partner with studios in the

Philippines and international publishers like Ubisoft to visit the country and seriously explore the opportunities."

The Gamedev Philippines wants big companies to set up studios in the Philippines and allow other Filipinos to contribute to the gaming world.

Gamedev Philippines has many more stops before the year ends. They are planning on showcasing and networking at other notable conventions such as E3 conventions and Gamescom in Germany.

MORE JOBS AVAILABLE FOR PINOY NURSES IN THE UK.

Developement Corporation has received 270 more jobs for nurses from three United Kingdom hospitals.

Baldoz added: "Apart from the 220 job orders for nurses, we have reported in January this year, latest overseas employment oppurtunity augurs well to our globally-competitive health care proffesionals."

In a letter from Omanfil Chairman Leonardo De Ocampo to Rosalinda Baldoz said that the 270 openings with aprroved job orders by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration are for Whittington Health NHS Trust, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and the King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

needed by those who cannot afford legal services in their search for justice like the widows of the SAF44. We ask Atty.

Clooney to visit the Philippines and see for herself the plight of the nameless poor who are victims of injustice and human rights violations.”

Mrs. Clooney has asked the United Nation body to ask for the release for the former President Macapagal Arroyo from detention as an interim relief pursuant to Rule 92 of the Committee's Rule of Procedures to allow her to seek medical treatment abroad.

Philippine officials have come under fire for the January 25 operation of the police Special Action Force that targeted

Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir, alias Marwan, and Filipino terror suspect Basit Usman.

Forty-four SAF commandos, 18 Moro fighters and 5 civilians were killed in the operation.

According to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), hundreds of jobs are waiting for Filipino nurses in the United Kingsom.

Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said that Omanfil International Manpower From Page 1 After Mrs Clooney filed a case before the United Nation Human Rights Commitee in connection with the prosecution of former President Gloria Arroyo, Bayan Muna party list Rep. Neri Colmenares issued a statement “While we are glad that Atty. Clooney is concerned with the human rights situation in the Philippines, it is best that she also raise the issue of human rights violations of the poor and the powerless such as the at least 229 cases of extrajudicial killings of activists, media and ordinary people, enforced disappearances, illegal arrest and detention.

10 Classic Pinoy Superheroes You’ve Probably Never Heard Of Alyas Phantom (1966) is the F i l i p i n o counterpart of Lee Falk’s well-loved fictional hero, The Phantom. The title role was played by Bob Soler whose previous superhero film, Captain Barbell, marked his territory as an unforgettable screen legend.

Alyas Phantom, like its predecessor, relies on sheer strength and wit to outdo his enemies. In the original The Phantom, Christopher Walker sweared to fight crimes after a group of pirates killed his father. He was later conferred the monikers “The Man Who Cannot Die”, “Guardian of the Eastern Dark”, and “The Ghost Who Walks” by people who assumed he’s immortal.

O n Fe b r u a r y 1 2, 1986, Ramon G. Gimena of Sorsogon seized the first prize in Super Action Pocketkomiks’ O r i g i n a l S u p e rHero Drawing Contest. His creation, Atom Man, made its way to an eight-page story originally appeared in Super Action #32 (March 26, 1986).

The story began when the main character, Ram, suddenly turned into a superhuman after swallowing a “wonder pill” containing highly active atomic energy. Atom Man possesses telescopic vision, unbelievable speed, power of flight, and unbeatable strength.

With impeccable moves and dashing charisma, Captain Karate (1965) has everything you could expect from a classic Pinoy crimebuster. Although it pales in comparison with “Alyas Palos” (1962) in terms of popularity, Captain Karate remains one of Bernard Bonnin’s endearing legacy.

Clad in a suit reminiscent of Lone Ranger and Zorro, Captain Karate was top billed by Bonnin alongside Max Alvarado, Bessie Barredo, Tugak and Johnny Stuart. Bonnin’s magnetic appeal sealed the movie’s success all the way to its sequel in 1968 entitled “Target: Captain Karate”.

This Nida Blancastarrer came from an era when Darna movies were starting to dominate the silver screen.

Although its presence is rarely felt these days, Ang Babaing Isputnik (1963) was equally entertaining during her heydays. Purportedly named after a famous Soviet spacecraft, Ang Babaing Isputnik is a powerful outer space warrior who has the ability to fly (surprise, surprise!)

In addition to young Nida Blanca, the fantasy film also starred Tony Ferrer, Jess Lapid, and Max Alvarado. Nida also reprised her role in the same year not as the protagonist but as Darna’s nemesis in Isputnik vs. Darna.

During the height of Vilma-Nora rivalry, superhero movies were a huge hit. So when Ate V. graced the screen with her notable hits such as Wonder Vi, Phantom Lady and Lipad, Darna, Lipad, our superstar Nora Aunor wanted to keep up.

Super Gee is a millionaire-turned-heroine originally authored by Zoila Meneses for the Darna Komiks from 1972 to 73. After searching for the right superhero that would suit her style, Nora Aunor finally turned the all-black comics superhero into a full-blown movie icon.

Super Gee was released in 1973 under the superstar’s very own NV Productions. After a few years, the character was brought to life once again–thanks to Supergee II series published in the Super Action Komiks from 1987 to 88.

This shape-shifting superhero has the qualities that will make Optimus Prime cry in shame.

First appeared in Superheroes Pocketkomiks #1 (November 28, 1985), Transformer Man possesses the ability to change into any object he desires–be it vehicles, people or even animals.

Surprisingly, Transformer Man changed its identity when it was published for Pilipino Superheroes Pocketkomiks. His new name, Magic Man, appeared in the magazine from 1985 to 1988. This lesser-known Pinoy superhero was the brainchild of writer Vic J. Poblete and artist Mar T. Santana.

B e r t o n g Ip u - Ip o (1969) is a tornadoturned-superhero with a remarkable history to boot. The f i l m wa s l o o s e l y based on another classic icon of Philippine comics, Ipo-Ipo. Historian and collector Dennis Villegas considers Ipo-Ipo as the country’s first ever costumed hero who displays superhuman qualities.

The brainchild of Lib Abrena and OS del Rosario, Ipo-Ipo first appeared in the April 1 94 7 i s s u e o f “Ma g a s i n n g Pa g s i l a n g ” (Magazine of Birth). Both Bertong Ipu-Ipo and his predecessor are indestructible, thanks to their “tornado” powers which can ruin anything that dares to approach.

Who said superheroes are all about chiseled chest and voluptuous figure? Enter Wonder Dabiana—the heavyweight superhero that rocked the silver screen in 1978. Complete with fight scenes, blood-sucking villains, and other stuff that great fantasy movies are made of, Wonder Dabiana is an adorable work-of-art.

The title character was portrayed by plus-size actress Cecille Iñigo whose first portrayal of Dabiana in 1977 instantly catapulted her to stardom.

Wonder Dabiana is a spin-off of the original comics character, Dabiana, who first appeared in the Hiwaga Komiks in the 1970s. Fat but likeable, Dabiana was penned by Ed Plaza and illustrated by Romy Gamboa.

Tall and beefy, Kisig Pinoy has the strength of a demigod. He first appeared in Wrestle Warriors Komiks published by Infinity Publishing, Inc. during the early 90s. Kisig P i n o y, w h o w a s loosely based on wrestling superstar Randy “Macho Man” Savage, came to the local scene when wrestling mania was on its peak.

Thanks to the powers bestowed by a mysterious hermit, Pikoy (the weak alter-ego) transformed into Kisig Pinoy who uses Herculean strength to beat the bad guys.

Another classic superhero lost in the obscurity, Kisig Pinoy was created by writer Geraldo Jumawan and artist Louie A. Salvio.

Long before women drooled over Chris Evans’ Captain America, the local silver screen was already putting its creativity to test. End result? Captain Philippines, who, according to Marvel fanatics, is a vague rip-off of Captain America.

Released in 1965 under FPJ’s D’Lanor Productions, Captain Philippines was played

by Bob Soler, also known in film history as the very first Captain Barbell. The film also starred other familiar names in the industry such as Mary Walters, Nova Villa, Marion Douglas and L o u Sa l va d o r, Jr. w h o p l a ye d C a p t a i n Philippines’ sidekick, Boy Pinoy.

othing compares to the simplicity and good taste of Adobong Tahong for lunch.

This delicious Filipino recipe that makes use of mussel meat cooked in adobo style.

Use of Kiwi mussels is the special feature in this recipe. Just don't forget to remove the hair-like part in the middle. Bear in mind that you can use mussels with shell on. Use the type of mussel that suits you best.

This dish is cool to do because it is quick and easy to prepare, the ingredients are not expensive, and the result is superb. You love the idea of using toasted garlic as it makes the taste of the dish rise to a different level – do not overuse it though.

Pisces - Feb. 20 - March. 20

Magiging interesante ang takbo ng iyong pananalapi dahil magkakaroon ka ng ilang pagkakataon para kumita ng pera. Maaaring ito ay sa pamamagitan ng pagtaas ng iyong sahod o kaya naman ay mga sideline business na naiaalok sa iyo. Pero huwag ka ring masyadong kampante na kumo’t may dumarating na pera ay panay na ang gastos mo.

Tandaan na isang pambihirang tiyansa rin ito para makapagtabi at mapaghandaan ang mga panahon naman na maalat ang suwerte sa iyo.

Aries - March. 21 - April. 20 Humanda ka para sa isang mas masayang linggo. Paano? Sa pamamagitan ng pagsama sa mga kasiyahan na kung minsan ay iyong tinatanggihan at pagkakaroon ng oras upang makilala mo ang mga tao na handang makipagkaibigan sa iyo. Madalas kasi ang tao mismo ang tumatanggi sa kanyang kasiyahan na hindi niya namamalayan. Kaya naman ang aral dito ay mahalaga na malaman mo ang importansya ng pagsasabi ng “oo” at “hindi.” Kung wala ka namang nakikitang masama sa pagsasabi ng “oo,” pagbigyan mo.

Taurus - April. 21 - May. 21

Kung umaasa ka isang himala, halos hindi ito imposible kung positibo ka sa buhay at palagi mong tinulungan ang iyong sarili. Kahit sa paanong paraan ito dumating sa iyo, manalig ka na gagabayan ka ng iyong pangarap at kutob para makamit ito. Mayroon bang pagkakataon na hindi ka na makatulog o kaya naman ay nagigising kang nakangiti at tila may gusto kang gawin. Iyon na iyon, sundan mo na lang, planuhin at samahan nang taimtim na mga panalangin.

Gemini - May. 22 - June. 21

Panahon naman na para maging aktibo ang iyong social life. Hindi makakabuti sa iyong isipan, emosyon at pangkalahatang kalusugan ang palagiang pag-iisa. Tulungan mo ang iyong sarili na magkaroon ng positibong pananaw sa buhay at makakaagapay mo rito ang mga taong may masasayang personalidad. Kung may pinagdadaanan ka ay mas lalong maganda na magkaroon ka ng makakausap. Mabuti na ang mabaling ang iyong atensyon sa mga bagay na wala man kinalaman sa iyong problema pero kahit papaano ay nakakatulong para maibsan ang sakit na iyong nararamdaman.

Cancer - June. 22 - July. 22

Napapansin mo ba kung bakit parang hindi umaayon ang lahat sa iyong binabalak, kahit mabuti naman ang iyong intensyon at iyong pinag-isipan? Hindi naman kasi puwedeng konti lamang, dapat nararapat at sapat ang ibinabaling mong positibong enerhiya para sa iyong pinapangarap. May mga kombinasyon para makamit ang halos perperktong formula para sa tagumpay gaya na lamang ng sipag, pananampalataya, determinasyon, komunikasyon at koneskyon. Isama mo na rin dito na tantanan na ang pagpansin sa kung ano ang sasabihin ng iba, sa halip na pagtuunan ang iyong sarili.

Leo - July. 23 - August. 22

Kung ikaw mismo ay bukas na matuto at sumubok ng mga bagong bagay ay tiyak na marami ring magbubukas na pintuan ng oportunidad para sa iyo.

Virgo - Aug. 23 - Sept. 23

Gumalaw ka base sa alam mong nararapat at alam mong makakabuti. Sa bandang huli ay mapapansin mo na lang na umaayon sa iyo ang mga pangyayari dahil hindi ka bumitaw sa iyong disiplina kahit halos marami kang puwedeng irason para tumigil.

Gaya na lamang ito ng pagiging magastos mo sa mga panahon na ito. Kung hindi naman kailangan ay bakit mo pagpipilitan na mabili ang bagay na hindi mo kailangan. Bago ang porma ay maging praktikal ka.

Libra - Sep. 24 - Oct. 23

Ang dali mong mairita lalo na sa mga taong mamali-mali kahit pa sabihing wala naman silang ginagawang masama laban sa iyo. Relax at hayaan mo na kung maliit na bagay lang naman. Tama na siguro ang isa o dalawang beses na pagbibigay ng payo pero kung paulit-ulit mo itong gagawin dahil naiinis ka na ay ikaw na mismo ang naghahanap ng sakit ng ulo. Sa halip na ituon ang iyong damdamin sa negatibong tanawin para sa iyo, pansinin mo na lamang ang nagpaparamdam sa iyo ng kilig.

Scorpio - Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Iwasan mo na magsalita nang hindi napag-iisipan para hindi ka masakasakit ng damdamin at makaputol ng ugnayan na mahalaga para sa iyo. Sa ngayon ay nasa sa iyo kung ipagpapatuloy mo ang isang relasyon na maaaring makatulong sa iyong kabuhayan. Asahan mo na hindi madali ang lahat lalo na sa larangan ng pakikipagugnayan pero kung hindi mo uunahin ang iyong pagiging emosyonal ay magbubunga nang sagana ang iyong mga pinaghirapan.

Sagittarius - Nov. 23 - Dec. 21

Mainam na punuan mo ng positibong damdamin ang iyong mga ideya. Bagaman sa totoo na hindi praktikal na samahan ng emosyon ang mga seryosong gawain ay subok naman ito ang epektibo para sa iyo. Mas inspirado ka kasi ay mas ginaganahan ka na magtrabaho nang higit sa kinakailangan. Gayon din naman ay mas nagiging bukas ka sa pakikipagkaibigan o kaya naman ay prayoridad. Hindi mo ba napapansin na para bang mas minamalas ka kapag lagi kang nakasimangot o takot na takot ka.

Capricorn - Dec. 22 - Jan. 20

May mga investment na walang kinalaman o kinakailangan ng pera pero malaki ang pakinabang sa iyo sa pangkalahatan. Isa na rito ay ang paglilinis ng iyong kalat at pagoorginisa ng iyong mga kagamitan. Malamang nga ay malaki ang maiaawas na oras nito sa iyong day-off pero malaki naman ang maitutulong sa katiwasayan sa mga susunod na araw. Baka nga ay makakatulong ang iyong mga maitatabing gamit sa iyong pagtitipid. Dahil mamaya namomoroblema ka sa pambili ng isang bagay na mayroon ka na pala, hindi mo lang pinapansin.

Aquarius - Jan. 21 - Feb. 19

Sanay ka siguro mag-isa at marami na rin ang pagkakataon na nagtagumpay ka dahil sa sarili mong kayod. Pero hindi naman sapat na rason iyon para putulin mo ang ugnayan mo sa iba at sa kanilang maaaring maitutulong sa iyo. Panahon na rin para maging bukas ka sa pakikipagpalitan ng impormasyon at ideya na tiyak naman papabor din sa iyo bandang huli. Hindi ka lang siguro sanay pero hindi maglalaon ay mararamdaman mo na masaya pala na may katuwang sa pagkamit ng isang pangarap.

Mula Pahina 1

Kung nagpaalam siya sa publiko at nagpahinga ay inamin nitong nakaramdam siya ng midlife crisis, sa kanyang pagbabalik ay sinabi naman niyang nadala siya noon ng pagtatampo at medyo pagka-selfish kaya niya iniwan ang ABS-CBN kung saan din siya nagtagal ng 23 taon.

Sa kanyang pagbabalik ay ang show na Your Face Sound Familiar ang unang programang hinawakan ni Sharon. Sa press conference ng nasabing show, kung saan makakasama niya bilang hurado sina Jed Madela at Gary Valenciano sa mga artistang mang-i-impersonate ng ibang personalidad, ay inilahad na rin ng 49-year-old singer actress ang dahilan ng kanyang paglipat at pagbabalik.

“I learned that I should not rely on a bridge to tell the bosses how I feel. May tampo ako–this is the real reason I left. I now realize that it could have been fixed,” saad ng ina ni KC Concepcion. “Why did I let go of that trust for a minute? I should have listened to what other party has to say. My tampo was a very tiny reason. When we all sat down, I realized that what I’ve been thinking all the while was wrong.”

“God woke me up. He made me realize that I have been too complacent. I’ve learned to appreciate every blessing that come my way.

I now celebrate each and every blessing. Because of my experience, I don’t anymore make decisions without consulting God through prayers.”

Sa muli niyang pagharap sa madla ay kapansin-pansin din ang pagbaba ng timbang ng award-winning singer-actress na sa kanyang paglalahad ay nasa halos 40 lbs ang nabawas sa kanyang bigat.

“You cannot believe how big I became. I had no work. Siguro I lost a little over 40 pounds from the beginning but I have several more to go bago ko ma-fulfill ‘yung pagiging bold star ko,” ani Sharon. “So much happened so parang just when you think it’s over, meron na namang bago.”

“I am still trying to lose 15 more pounds and to try to exercise.

Honestly, I am not fond of exercising. My favorite lang is the treadmill.

I’m a multi-tasker. By doing the treadmill, I can watch a show and hindi ako nagwa-waste ng time. Not that exercising is a waste of time pero ‘yung hitting two birds with one stone,” sabi pa ni Sharon.

Samantala, sinabi rin ng dating ka-love team ni Gabby Concepcion na gusto niya na makagawa rin ng teleserye at handa siyang makipagtrabaho kahit kanino, kahit pa sa dating nobyo ng kanyang anak na si Piolo Pascual.

PAMILYA NG NAMAYAPANG YOUTUBE SENSATION, UMAANI NG BATIKOS Sumakabilang buhay na ang 28-taonggulang na bahagi ng Pinoy Youtube sensation na Jamich na si Jam Sebastian.

Ito ay matapos na magdesisyon ang kanyang pamilya na tanggalin na ang life support na nakakabit sa kanya sa St. Luke’s Medical Center Global in Taguig City noong Marso 4. Ang binata ay ka-love team at fiance ni Michelle Liggayu na halos isang taon rin na nakikipaglaban sa stage 4 Lung Cancer bago siya bawian ng buhay.

Sa p a m a m a g i t a n n g ka n ya n g Facebook ay ibinalita nga ni Michelle a n g d e s i s y o n n g p a m i l ya n i Ja m na sundin ang kanyang kahilingan.

Matatandaan na ilang linggo bago ang kanyang pagkamatay ay nagpahiwatig ang binata na gusto na niyang mamatay.

Pero ayaw pa noon ng kanyang inang si Mrs. Maricar Sebastian dahil gusto niyang lumaban ito sa kanyang sakit.

Pagkatapos noon ay binisita pa nga si Jam ni Kris Aquino at pati ng kanyang paboritong komedyante na si Vice Ganda.

“Nakapag-decide na ang family.

Hinihintay na lang maubos yung gamot ni Jam,” balita ni Michelle sa kanyang

Facebook.

“Sabay sabay tayong mag-pray for Jam na makaramdam na siya ng love and comfort sa arms ni God. Pag pray din natin na maging strong tayong lahat.

Everything will be okay...”

“Sana ma-dream kita [ Jam] na ipaalam mo lang samin na masaya ka na and healthy ulit with God. Thank you for everything... No words can explain.

Until we meet again...”

Bago pa man din ang desisyon ng pamilya Sebastian na tanggalin na ang life support na ikinabit sa binata ay nagpaabot na rin ang ama ni Michelle na hindi na kakayanin na labanan ni Jam ang kanyang sakit base na rin umano sa doktor na tumitingin sa binata .

“It is so painful for a mother, father, brother and loved ones to let go of Jam. But let us just accept the fact that Jam will no longer win this fight,” saad sa Facebook ng ama ni Mich na si Mr. Christopher Joseph Liggayu.

“Doctor Charity Gorospe, Jam’s lead cancer doctor is explaining to us the reality of Jam’s condition. All vital signs are weak and that it is a fight that we

CLAUDINE BARRETTO, DUMALO SA DEBUT NG ANAK NI MARJORIE BAGAMAN inamin ni Gretchen kamakailan na may tampuhan sila ng kanyang nakababatang kapatid na si Marjorie Barretto ay hindi ito napilit na magsalita tungkol sa dahilan. Pero may bulung-bulungan na noon na marahil ay may kinalaman dito ang pagkakamabutihan ulit umano nina Marjorie at ng kanilang nakaalitang kapatid na si Claudine.

Sa debut ng young actress na si Julia, anak ni Marjorie sa komedyanteng si Dennis Padilla, sa Rizal Ballroom ng Makati Shangri-La Hotel ay hindi dumalo si Gretchen pero naroon si Claudine. Patunay lamang ito na nagkabati na sina Marjorie at ang nakahiwalayang asawa ni Raymart Santiago.

Sa mga lumabas na larawan sa debut party noog Marso 10 ay hindi lamang naman si Claudine ang namataan dito kundi pati na si Dennis at ang mga magulang ng Barretto sisters na sina Miguel at Inday. Matatandaan na nagkaroon ng isyu noon ang magamang Julia at Dennis, nang mag-file ang Kapamilya teen star ng petisyon

para mabago ang kanyang pelyido.

Tinutulan ito ng komedyante na may iba pang anak kay Marjorie kabilang na ang nag-aartista ring si Claudia.

“[We haven’t seen each other yet], I don’t how to feel about it. But it’s fine. I knew from the start that she [ Claudine] was going to attend. It’s nice of her to attend, to grant Julia’s wish. It’s really nice of her,” pahayag ni Marjorie sa

Samantala, patuloy na umaani ng pambabatikos ang pamilya at nobya ni Jam na ayon sa mga basher ay ginagamit ang nangyari kay Jam para sa kanilang kasikatan. Pero sa halip na padala sa negatibong komento ay sinabi ni Mrs. Sebastian sa panayam niya sa pep.ph na wala silang pakialam.

“Wala akong pakialam sa basher.

Hindi kasi nila nararamdaman kung a n o n g n a r a r a m d a m a n n a m i n . At saka hindi nila kami kakilala,” saad pa nito sa anak na sumikat sa pagpopost ng love story videos sa Youtube. panayam sa kanya abscbnnews.com.

“It’s a nice feeling. Puwede na kami mag-family picture,” saad pa ng dating artista at pulitiko. “As long as my daughter is at peace, I am happy. Kasi siyempre she’s entering a new chapter in her life so it’s important for her to step into the new chapter with no emotional baggage, with no problems.

Parang hindi naman tama na magpilit ng tao. It’s my special day, I want everybody to be there. If that’s the reason kung bakit magkakaayos ang lahat, then good,” sabi ni Julia sa presscon bago ang kanyang big day.

ALJUR ABRENICA, TAPOS NA ANG PROBLEMA SA GMA ARTIST CENTER?

Nagkaroon ng ibang kinang ang karera ng singer-actress na si Rachelle Ann Go mula nang mapabilang siya s Broadway musical na Miss Saigon.

Sa dami at mataas na pamantayan ng pamunuan ng production ng nasabing musical show ay siya ang isa sa mga Pinoy na nakapasa at nahirang na gumanap bilang Gigi. Pero sa huling panayam sa 28-taonggulang na dalaga ay tila ayaw na nitong mapabilang pa sa show.

Hindi lamang pagkamit ng role at paglabas sa prestihiyoson musical play na nagpasikat kay Lea Salonga ang nakamit ni Rachelle rito.

Katunayan ay nanalo pa ang mang-aawit ng Best Featured Actress in A Musical sa 2014 Broadway World West End Awards.

“As of now, pinag-iisipan ko pa what I want to do next. Pero nakapagdecide na ako that I’m not gonna extend anymore as Gigi. So, last show ko sa Miss Saigon sa May 9,” sabi ni Rachelle sa isang panayam.

Subalit hindi naman kailangan mag-alala ang kanyang mga tagahanga bilang theater performer dahil ayon sa kanya ay gusto pa rin niyang ipursige ang career doon. Ang nais lamang niya ay maganapan ang ibang role o kaya naman ay mapabilang sa ibang musical play.

“I actually told the company that I wanna try other roles. So, naging open naman ako. Sabi ko, [gusto ko ng] Wicked and Les Misérables also.

Hindi ko pa alam. I still don’t know what’s gonna happen,” saad pa niya.

Muling nakita si Aljur Abrenica sa kanyang dating kinabibilangan na programang Sunday All Stars sa GMA noong Marso 1. Pero base sa pahayag ng pamunuan ng Kapuso Network at sa pagbibitiw ng kanyang abogado na si Atty. Ferdinand Topacio ay tila hindi pa tapos ang kanyang pagbabalik showbiz sa kanyang home studio.

Matatandaan na Hulyo noong isang taon ay naghain ng kaso ang kampo ni Aljur laban sa GMA Artistc Center.

Ito ay may kinalaman sa kanyang kahilingan na ipawalang-bisa ang kanyang kontrata sa talent arm na magtatapos pa sana sa 2017. Ayon sa salaysay ng dating ka-love team ni Kris

Bernal ay hindi na sila na nagtutugma ang balak sa kanya ng kanyang Artist Center sa kanyang gustong mangyari.

Hindi pa natatapos ang nasabing kaso at marahil ay hindi pa lubos na nakakapag-usap ang magkabilang panig pero pinayagan siya na lumabas sa musical variety show, na kasama rin naman umano sa nakasaad sa kanyang kontrata.

“Abrenica asked to return to ‘Sunday All Stars’ after a long absence. [Since] he still has a live contract with GMA 7, [he] was allowed to,” saad sa opisyal na pahayag ng GMA na nailathala sa Inquirer.

Samantala, sinagot din ng GMA Corporate Communications ang paratang ni Atty. Topacio na ‘di umano’y papayag sila na makabalik si Aljur kung magre-resign si Topacio bilang kanyang legal counsel.

“GMA Artist Center did not demand for the withdrawal of Atty. Topacio and his law office as legal counsel of Aljur Abrenica in the case he filed against GMA Network, “saad sa pahayag ng GMA na nailathala sa pep.ph. “There is also no truth to the other allegations

mentioned in Atty. Topacio’s statement about GMA Artist Center.”

Nobyembre noong isang taon naman nang makausap ang 24-taong-gulang na binata sa posibleng pagbabalik niya sa telebisyon . Saad pa nito sa isa niyang panayam ay kahit na may iringan sila ng GMA ay patuloy s’yang nakakatanggap ng trabaho. Gayon din sinabi rin niyang ang kaso na isinampa n’ya ay hindi para makipag-away kundi sana ay mapagbigyan ang kanyang kahilingan.

“Siguro, for now, yun na muna ang masasabi ko, just wait na lang kung ano, kasi… for further na mangyayari kasi ngayon, medyo critical pa siya,” saad ni Aljur.

“In time, yun yung ipinagpapasalamat ko sa GMA, sa kabila ng lahat is ‘andiyan pa rin sila for me. They keep on sending me schedules, trabaho. Hindi nila ako pinabayaan. So, ayun, meron lang akong munting kahilingan na mapagbigyan man o hindi, sana maayos din lahat.

Hanggang dun na muna po.

“Sa kaso, kagaya ng sinabi ko, matatapos din ‘yan, pero hanggang dun muna.”
