Fil-Am Designer won big in the 70th annual Tony Awards
On the 70th Annual Tony Awards in New York, A Filipino costume and set designer Clint Romas won the Best Costume Design in a Play for his work on "Eclipsed." In his acceptance speech the Tony recipient honoured the Liberian women depicted in Danai Gurira's play set in the second Liberian Civil War. Clint Ramos also hailed by Vogue for dressing the 5 Liberian female protagonists at a rebel base camp during war-torn Liberia. The magazine peacekeepers evoked their "fierce desire to hold onto a sense of femininity in the face of a total dissolution of identity." Ramos also added of how he selected costumes to depict the women of the Peace Initiative Movement who fought and won the war by telling the men to stop the fighting and change the nation's direction. The University of the Philippines’ and Dulaang UP alumnus created costumes for the women of the peace rallies who wore T-shirts with printed words of peace. The multi-awarded designer won over nominees Tom Scutt for King Charles III, Jane Greenwood for Long Days Journey Into Night, and Michael Krass for Noises Off.
PINOYS ARE OK DESPITE "BREXIT" SITUATION
Asif Ahmad British Ambassador for the Philippines said that Britain's exit from the European Union will have no major impact on the situation of 250,000 Filipinos living and working in the country. According to Ahmad, neither would Britain’s exit have an impact on its immigration laws, especially for Filipinos who
want to migrate there adding to it “We have special categories of our immigration rules that allow essential workers to come in. It’s not that we are suddenly shutting the gates to people moving. We make our own decisions as to who comes and goes.” Britain and the European Union have serious disagreements on opening borders to refugees from Syria and other conflict stricken Middle East countries. “Migration of people within the EU and the UK is something that should be negotiated on how that takes place,” said Ahmad. “Our government has been at pains to reassure everybody living in the UK that there is no immediate change to their status.” The European Union’s core values include human rights, democracy and the rule of law, but Ahmad said migration should not be equated with human rights.
Ahmad also indicated that “It is wrong to put human rights and migration in the same pot.” “Migration is completely a different issue. Migration means every country has a right to retain control over its borders, determine whom it wants to have and in what quantities and terms under which people should come in or not,” he said. Ahmad said Asean could learn from the Brexit in terms of “avoiding the areas of difficulty. He said Asean members can create and open markets “where you could trade with each other and negotiate trade deals as a bloc.” “What you see in the UK is a desire of a member-state to have a strong voice in determining their economic wellbeing, sovereignty, defense and other ambitions that any country has.”

RHIAN RAMOS JOINS SOLENN, REVIVES A VILMA SANTO'S CHARACTER
Bongga ang mid 2016 ng Kapuso actress na si Rhian Ramos dahil dalawang magkaibang tipo ng programa ang kanyang ginagawa sa ngayon. Siya ang bagong kapareha ni Solenn Heussaff sa Taste Buddies, habang ang bibida naman s'ya sa TV remake ng Sinungaling Mong Puso. Ang orihinal na kasama ni Solenn sa Taste Buddies ay si Iya Villania pero dahil sa pagdadalang-tao nito kaya kinailangan nitong palitan. Pagkakataon naman iyon para makapasok sa programa si Rhian na malapit din sa Half-French actressmodel sa tunay na buhay. Ayon sa kakasal pa lang na si Solenn ay sakto din si Rhian bilang co-host kanilang show dahil game ito sa adventures. Continue on Page 7
Pormal nang nanumpa sa Malacañang Palace ang ika-16 na pangulo ng Pilipinas na si President Rodrigo Duterte. Naging simple ngunit makasaysayan ang nasabing inagurasyon na ginanap sa Rizal Hall sa Malacañang na dinaluhan ng 627 bisita kabilang na ang miyembro ng pamilya ng bagong Pangulo. Nanumpa si Pres. Rody sa kanyang fraternity brother sa Lex Tallionis fraternity na si Supreme Court Associate Justice Bienvenido Reyes. Bagaman nagkaron ng departure honors para kay outgoing Pres. Benigno Aquino III ay hindi naman siya nabigyan ng “farewell speech” bago nanumpa ang pumalit sa kanyang si Pangulong Duterte. Sinalubong ni PNoy si Duterte sa presidential hall bago ito pormal na
nanumpa. Nakatakda naman na makipagpulong si Pres. Rody sa Diplomatic Corps at pangangasiwaan nito ang mass oath-taking ng mga itinalaga niyang Gabinete na susundan ng kauna-unahang pagpupulong sa Palasyo. Si Pres. Rody, ang kauna-unahang nanalong pangulo na hindi dumalo sa kanyang proklamasyon sa Kongreso. Ang 71 anyos ang kauna-unahang pangulo ng Pilipinas na sumasakay sa tricycle at kumportable na kumain sa turo-turo lamang. Tinalo ni Duterte ang pambato ng Liberal Party (LP) na si Mar Roxas gayundin si Sen. Grace Poe at Vice-President Jejomar Binay ng United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).

Cover Story
Naging urong-sulong noong una si Duterte na tumakbo bilang pangulo kaya hindi agad siya nagsumite ng kanyang certificate of candidacy (COC) sa Commission on Elections (Comelec) pero nagdesisyon siyang tumakbo sa mismong deadline ng pagsusumite ng kanyang kandidatura dahil na rin sa mga panawagan ng mga supporters nito mula sa Maynila at Cebu. Nagpakalbo rin ang kanyang anak na si Sarah Duterte na uupong bagong Davao City Mayor upang ipakita ang kahilingan sa ama na tumakbo sa pagka-pangulo sa natapos na halalan. “If I could go back in time, I would decide not to run for president. While campaigning, I saw the crowd. They become wild, not just with applause. They shouted, tumakbo ka na kasi, hirap na kami,” ani Duterte sa kanyang huling mensahe niya bilang alkalde sa flag raising ceremony sa Davao City kamakailan. Si Duterte ang ikaapat na pangulo ng bansa na isasagawa ang kanyang oath-taking at inauguration sa Malacañang. Siya ang unang nanumpa sa Palasyo partikular sa Council of State room ng Executive Building ay si President Elpidio Quirino noong Abril 17, 1948 at ang pangalawa naman ay si President Carlos P. Garcia noong Marso 23, 1957 habang ikatlo si President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. noong 1986.
Ang Panunumpa ng ika-16 Pangulo ng Pilipinas Nanumpa na kahapon ang bagong pangulo ng Pilipinas na si President Rodrigo Duterte. Siya ang ika-16 Pangulo ng Pilipinas. Narito ang kumpletong kopya ng naging inaugural speech ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte na handa nang pamunuan ang bansa laban sa korapsyon, droga at kriminalidad kabilang na ang pagpapatigil ng malalang online gambling tungo sa minimithing pagbabago at pag-unlad. Umabot ng 15 minuto ang haba ng kanyang talumpati. President Fidel Ramos, sir, salamat po sa tulong mo making me President; President Joseph Ejercito Estrada; Senate President Franklin Drilon and the members of the Senate; Speaker Feliciano Belmonte and the members of the House of Representatives; Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court; His Excellency Guiseppe Pinto and the members of the Diplomatic Corps; incoming members of the Cabinet; fellow workers in government; my fellow countrymen. No leader, however strong, can succeed at anything of national importance or significance unless he has the support and cooperation of the people he is tasked to lead and sworn to serve. It is the people from whom democratic governments draw strength and this administration is no exception. That is why we have to listen to the murmurings of the people, feel their pulse, supply their needs and fortify their faith and trust in us whom they elected to public office. There are many amongst us who advance the assessment that the problems that bedevil our country today which need to be addressed with urgency, are corruption, both in the high and low echelons of government, criminality in the streets, and the rampant sale of illegal drugs in all strata of Philippine society and the breakdown of law and order. True, but not absolutely so. For I see these ills as mere symptoms of a virulent social disease that creeps and cuts into the moral fiber of Philippine society. I sense a problem deeper and more serious than any of those mentioned or all of them put together. But of course, it is not to say that we will ignore them because they have to be stopped by all means that the law allows. Erosion of faith and trust in government – that is the real problem that confronts us. Resulting therefrom, I see the erosion of the people’s trust in our country’s leaders; the erosion of faith in our judicial system; the erosion of confidence in the capacity of our public servants to make the people’s lives better, safer and healthier. Indeed ours is a problem that dampens the human spirit. But all is not lost. I know that there are those who do not approve of my methods of fighting criminality, the sale and use of illegal drugs and corruption. They say that my methods are unorthodox and verge on the illegal. In response let me say this: I have seen how corruption bled the government of funds, which were allocated for the use in uplifting the poor from the mire that they are in. I have seen how illegal drugs destroyed individuals and ruined family relationships. I have seen how criminality, by means all foul, snatched from the innocent and the unsuspecting, the years and years of accumulated savings. Years of toil and then, suddenly, they are back to where they started. Look at this from that perspective and tell me that I am wrong. In this fight, I ask Congress and the Commission on Human Rights and all others who are similarly situated to allow us a level of governance that is consistent to our mandate. The fight will be relentless and it will be sustained. As a lawyer and a former prosecutor, I know the limits of the power and authority of the president. I know what is legal and what is not. My adherence to due process and the rule of law is uncompromising. You mind your work and I will mind mine. “Malasakit;” “Tunay na Pagbabago; Tinud-anay (real) nga Kausaban(change)” – these are words which catapulted me to the presidency. These slogans were conceptualized not for the sole purpose of securing the votes of the electorate. “Tinud-anay nga kabag-uhan (real change). Mao kana ang tumong sa atong pang-gobyerno (this is the direction of our government).” Far from that. These were battle cries articulated by me in behalf of the people hungry for genuine and meaningful change. But the change, if it is to be permanent and significant, must start with us and in us. To borrow the language of F. Sionil Jose, we have become our own worst enemies. And we must have the courage and the will to change ourselves. Love of country, subordination of personal interests to the common good, concern and care for the helpless and the impoverished – these are among the lost and faded values that we seek to recover and revitalize as we commence our journey towards a better Philippines. The ride will be rough. But come and join me just the same. Together, shoulder to shoulder, let us take the first wobbly steps in this quest. There are two quotations from revered figures that shall serve as the foundation upon which this administration shall be built. “The test of government is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide for those who have little.” (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) And from (Abraham) Lincoln I draw this expression: “You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong; You cannot help the poor by discouraging the rich; You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer; You cannot further the brotherhood by inciting class hatred among men.” My economic and financial, political policies are contained in those quotations, though couched in general terms. Read between the lines. I need not go into specifics now. They shall be supplied to you in due time. However, there are certain policies and specifics of which cannot wait for tomorrow to be announced.
PNoy walang farewell speech Hindi na nagtalumpati ang dating pangulong si Benigno Aquino III sa pagbaba nito ng pwesto noong nakaraang Hunyo 30. Nagkaroon lamang ito ng departure honors ngunit hindi na siya binigyan ng “farewell speech” bago nanumpa bilang ika-16 pangulo ng bansa si President Rodrigo Duterte. Sinalubong ni PNoy si Duterte sa presidential hall ng Malacañang bago pormal na nanumpa. Alas-12 ng tanghali nanumpa si Duterte habang at sumakay naman ng presidential car si Aquino upang umuwi sa kanyang tahanan sa Times St., Quezon City. Sinikap na gawing smooth at simple lang ang transition at inagurasyon dahil ito ang gusto ng bagong pangulo kung saan mahigit 600 ang bisita kasama na ang mga ambassadors ng iba’t ibang bansa. Sinundo naman ng bus ang mga bisita ni Duterte mula sa PICC
at dinala sila sa Malacañang para sa inagurasyon at oath-taking na gaganapin sa Rizal Hall ng Palasyo. Ang pinayagan lamang na magdala ng kanilang sasakyan sa compound ng Palasyo ay ang mga ambassadors habang ang ibang bisita ay pinayuhan na iwan na lamang ang kanilang sasakyan sa PICC.
Tatlong anak bawat pamilya isinusulong Seryoso sa kanyang liderato ang bagong luklok na pangulo na si Rodrigo Duterte na ipatupad ang 3-child policy para bawat mag-asawa. Sa kanyang huling flag raising ceremony bilang Mayor ng Davao City ay sinabi nito na suportado niya ang Responsible Parenthood sa kabila ng mahigpit na pagtutol dito ng Simbahang Katolika. “I will reinstall the program of family planning. Tatlo tama na yan so social workers must be proactive. Better shape up. Wag na muna simbahan, away kami diyan e. Noon pa yan, it started during [President Fidel] Ramos’ time. He was the only president who fought for family planning. Pati ako binabangga ko…family planning. Hindi na realistic e,”
VP Leni Robredo nanumpa sa Quezon City "Gawin nating lakas hindi hadlang ang ating pagkakaiba"
Samantala, ginanap naman ang pormal na panunumpa bilang bise presidente ang dating Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo sa Quezon City. Hindi tulad ng mga nagdaang panunumpa ng mga bise presidente, mga karaniwan o nasa marginalized sector ang naging saksi sa kanyang oath-taking na ginanap ng alas-9 ng umaga sa QC Reception House na kilala sa tawag na Boracay Mansion. Dinaluhan rin ito ng mga opisyal sa QC, at ilang mga kilalang personalidad pero mas marami ay mula sa naturang sektor. Nanumpa si Robredo kina barangay captain Rolando Coner ng
dagdag pa ni Duterte. Kontra ang Simbah ang Katolika sa abortion at paggamit ng contraceptives tulad ng pills at condoms. Sinabi naman ni new NEDA chief Ernesto Pernia, isusulong ni Duterte ang ‘rapid and sustained implementation’ ng Responsible Parenthood at Reproductive Health Act. “If you enable families to limit and phase their children to what they can afford and what they can provide for, then that’s going to have an effect on poverty and inequality,” ani new NEDA chief Pernia. Barangay Punta Tarawal, ang pinakamaliit, pinaka-malayo at pinakamahirap na bayan ng Camarines Sur’s third district at kay Capt. Regina Celeste San Miguel ng Barangay Mariana, QC. Dahil limitadong espasyo ng Executive house, 300 lamang ang bisita ni Robredo sa kanyang inagurasyon, ilang miyembro ng pamilya, ilang kaibigan tulad ni QC Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte. Dumalo rin ang dating presidential sister at aktres na si Kris Aquino, isa sa mga financier ni Robredo ng nagdaang may 9 elections bilang kinatawan ni outgoing President Benigno Aquino III at mga kapatid nito. Naging simple at maikli lamang at matipid sa gastos dahil tumagal lamang ito ng isang oras o hanggang alas-10 ng umaga. Inimbitahan din ng kampo ni Robredo ang running-mate na si dating Interior Secretary Mar Roxas. Ang inagurasyon ay sinimulan ng flag raising ceremony na inawit ng Payatas Childrens Choir.
Digong nagbabala sa kanyang gabinete Nagbabala ang bagong pangulo na si Rodrigo Duterte laban sa mga corrupt na opisyales ng gobyerno. Aniya agad patatalsikin sa kanilang pwesto ang sino man sa miyembro ng kanyang gabinete na masasangkot sa anomalya. Sa kanyang mensahe sa huling pagdalo nito sa flag raising ceremony bilang alkalde ng Davao City, walang puwang ang corruption sa kanyang gobyerno. Sinabi pa ni Duterte, ang sinumang miyembro ng Gabinete niyang masasangkot sa korapsyon at makakasuhan ng anomalya ay walang maaasahang tulong mula sa kanya. Aniya, hindi na dapat hintayin ng kanyang Gabinete na sila ay sibakin sa puwesto sa sandaling masangkot sa anomalya. “Dapat ay magbalot-balot na lang agad ang mga miyembro Gabinete at huwag na nilang hintayin na ‘pitikin’ ko pa sila,” ani Duterte. Sinabi pa ni Duterte, hindi dapat gamitin ng kanyang Gabinete ang posisyon nito upang isulong ang kani-kanilang kampanyang pulitikal o ambisyon nito. Therefore, I direct all department secretaries and the heads of agencies to reduce requirements and the processing time of all applications, from the submission to the release. I order all department secretaries and heads of agencies to remove redundant requirements and compliance with one department or agency, shall be accepted as sufficient for all. I order all department secretaries and heads of agencies to refrain from changing and bending the rules government contracts, transactions and projects already approved and awaiting implementation. Changing the rules when the game is on-going is wrong. I abhor secrecy and instead advocate transparency [applause] in all government contracts, projects and business transactions from submission of proposals to negotiation to perfection and finally, to consummation. Do them and we will work together. Do not do them, we will part sooner than later. On the international front and community of nations, let me reiterate that the Republic of the Philippines will honor treaties and international obligations. On the domestic front, my administration is committed to implement all signed peace agreements in step with constitutional and legal reforms. I am elated by the expression of unity among our Moro brothers and leaders, and the response of everyone else to my call for peace. I look forward to the participation of all other stakeholders, particularly our indigenous peoples, to ensure inclusivity in the peace process. Let me remind in the end of this talk, that I was elected to the presidency to serve the entire country. I was not elected to serve the interests of any one person or any group or any one class. I serve every one and not only one. That is why I have adapted as an article of faith, the following lines written by someone whose name I could no longer recall. He said: “I have no friends to serve, I have no enemies to harm.” P re s c i n d i n g t h e re f ro m , I n ow a s k eve r yo n e , a n d I m e a n everyone, to join me as we embark on this crusade for a better and brighter tomorrow. But before I end, let me express the nations, on behalf of the people, our condolences to the Republic of Turkey of what has happened in the place. We offer our deepest condolences. Why am I here? Hindi kasali ito diyan. The past tense was, I am here because I love my country and I love the people of the Philippines. I am here, why? Because I am ready to start my work for the nation. Thank you and good afternoon.
“There will be no corruption just like here. The first whip. Mga sekretaryo ka sa Cabinet tapos nangwarta ka. Then I just have to whisper: ‘Please go,” paliwanag pa ni Digong. Nakiusap din si Dut erte sa taumbayan na isumbong sa kanyang tanggapan ang mga nalalaman nilang corruption sa pamamagitan ng kanyang ilalagay na 12 hotlines na bukas 24 oras. Samantala, ipatutupad nationwide ng papasok na administrasyon ang liquor ban gayundin ang curfew sa mga menor-de-edad. Siniguro rin niya na ang kanyang gobyerno ay para sa mahihirap, para sa walang mga pag-asa at para sa mga hindi kayang ipagtanggol ang kanilang mga sarili. “My government is for the helpless, for the hopeless, and for the defenseless,” giit pa ni Duterte sa kanyang mensahe. Aniya, hindi siya natatakot na ma-impeach basta ipatutupad niya ang kanyang programa laban sa kriminalidad at corruption. “Impeachment? Go ahead walang problema sa akin. I will insist what I promised to the people,” hamon ni Duterte.
Tenorio at Abueva hindi kasama sa Final 12 ng Gilas Pilipinas
Inulan ng batikos si Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tab Baldwin matapos hindi mapasama sa Final 12 ang veteran playmaker LA Tenorio at small forward Calvin Abueva. Ipinagtanggol ni Baldwin ang pagpili niya kina naturalized player Andray Blatche, June Mar Fajardo, Jayson Castro, Gabe Norwood, Ranidel De Ocampo, Japeth Aguilar, Marc Pingris, Troy Rosario, Ryan Reyes, Jeff Chan at Bobby Ray Parks Jr. Ayon kay Baldwin, ang naturang Final 12 ang sa palagay niya na maaaring magbigay ng magandang laban sa 2016 FIBA Olympic Qualiftying Tournament. “We selected the team that best competes with the teams that we are going to play against,” wika ni Baldwin sa pagbabalik ng Nationals sa bansa noong Martes ng gabi mula sa isang threeweek training camp sa Europe. “Size was such a big factor in our selection. So it’s not a question of what Calvin didn’t do or what LA didn’t do. It’s more of what type of player they are today,” dagdag pa nito. Naglabas ng himutok ang mga fans sa social media na mas beterano sina Tenorio at Abueva kumpara kina Rosario at Parks, naglaro sa nakaraang NBA D-League at isang two-time UAAP Most Valuable Player para sa National University Bulldogs. Habang maluwag na tinanggap ni Tenorio ang naturang desisyon ni Baldwin ay labis naman itong dinamdam ni Abueva. Inamin ni Baldwin na ang height disadvantage nina Tenorio (5-foot-9) at Abueva (6’2) sa Manila OQT ang isa sa kanyang pinagbasehan. “It’s not the best 12 players. It’s not the most valuable 12 players. It’s the players that we believe match what we need to do in this particular OQT, and size was a big factor. It was a huge factor,” sabi ni Baldwin. Sa Manila OQT, nakatakda sa Hulyo 5-10 sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City, ay kasama ng Gilas Pilipinas sa Group B ang France at New Zealand, habang nasa Group A naman ang Turkey, Canada at Senegal.

UP Student invented a new device TOKYO HONORS 6TH PRESIDENT ELPIDIO RIVERA QUIRINO The Philippines’ 6th President, Elpidio Rivera Japanese troops during World War II. anniversary in February 29 this year, Quirino’s for super fast corn planting Quirino, was recently honored by the Tokyo The Quirino amnesty paved the way for the remains were relocated and reinterred at a government with a monument as a tribute to his contribution to bilateral relations between the Philippines and Japan. The memorial to President Quirino was unveiled in Tokyo’s Hibiya Park.

Rosette Sabiniano, a University of the Philippines (UP) student has invented a device that reduces the amount of time used by small-scale farmers to plant corn plants. According to research the gear could plant corns 14 times faster than the normal planting method. It usually takes 107minutes to manually plant a corn in a 500-sqm area, but the UP scholar's invention reduces the time just to seven minutes. Rosette describe her device as a sustainable, inexpensive and easily assembled equiptment that signigicantly increases the productivityof local farmers. This mechincal corn planter is designed with galvanized iron tubes, metal sheet, metal plates, and two bearings that can be seperated in parts making it easily to just replace a part that malfunction instead of changing everything. Rossette explained that “The important parts of the design were the diameter of the seed containers, the position of the holes of the seed containers, the diameter of the wheels, and its anti-slippage structure and the structure of the furrower.” The device has three functions, which it simultaneously executes when being used: furrowing, seed dropping, and seed covering. The farmers just have to push down the controller or the handle up to the desired depth of cut in the soil and pull the equipment. In the traditional way of farming, these methods are undertaken separately, with the farmer sowing the soil first with a carabao or a tractor and then individually dropping seeds. Rossette also told media she invented the mechanical corn planter as part of her advocacy to improve the lives of farmers in the country. She shared how she grew up watching her grandfather plowing fields in Nueva Ecija, the biggest rice producing-province. Corn is the second largest crop produced in the Philippines. Rossette plans to work with the Department of Agriculture after graduation to pursue her advocacy of helping small scale farmers with her invention.

#HUGOTCAFE: DEN OF THE MILLENNIALS Tara Let's Eat by:Irene Tria "Don’t take your love away from me Don’t you leave my heart in misery If you go, then I’ll be blue ‘Cause breaking up is hard to do" Definitely this verse from a song in the late 70’s is relatable to everyone who underwent a serious break-up or simply just heartbroken. From selling churros, Overseas Worker from Singapore, Amfi Joaquin and husband then opted of why not create something that would capture everyone’s interest. While browsing her social media accounts, Amfi got intrigued with the trending #hugotlines, wondered if they have intentionally posted those lines to become viral or was really delivered from their heart, in short “may pinag-huhugutan”. That’s when the idea came up of why not put up a café instead of selling a fried-dough pastry based snack, but with a twist, a place where there are affordable good foods and can accommodate people from all walks of life. Because of the overwhelming reception of the netizens with #hugotlines, then came the birth of #HugotCafé . In less than a week, #HugotCafé already have 20 thousand followers on Facebook, and all of them actively send inquiries about their menu and some would just exchange #hugotlines with Amfi.
Who would’ve thought that in this time of digital age, millennials that grew up in an electronics-filled and increasingly online and socially-networked world would be interested in sharing their softer side? Yes, one of the highlights and reasons why millennial visit #HugotCafé is because of their open mic. Open mic is a live show where audience members may perform on stage; a live poetry reading. In just one month, the return of investment for #HugotCafé is almost 90%; because of that Amfi decided to come home and concentrate with #HugotCafé. "We brainstorm in February, and then construction in March, softopening in April and we’re already one month. We are so overwhelmed by the number of customers who visits us every day. Some would really wait for almost two hours just to try our #hugotmenu." – Amfi Here are their must try: #HugotCafé does not only focus on their live poetry and open mic nor the exchange of hugot lines among other customers, BUT they also make sure that their #hugotmenu is really good and satisfactory. #HugotCafé is open from 11 AM to 10 PM at the Second Floor, XRC Building, 3702 Hermosa Corner Limay Street, Tondo, Manila and soon will be opening their second branch at GN Building JP Laurel Highway, Kumintang Ibaba, Batangas City

a ilasing n Crispy N ied Shrimp ) Hipon (Fr d in Wine Marinate
This Crispy Nilasing na Hipon recipe is another variation of the popular shrimp pulutan dish. This version is crispier and tastier due to the use of cooking wine as the marinade. Nilasing na Hipon (sometimes called crispy fried drunken shrimp) is a popular dish in the Philippines. It makes use of whole medium sized shrimp with head and tail on. It is very important to get the shrimp ready before cooking –this means cleaning it thoroughly in running water, or you can also use a large bowl. If using a bowl, simply fill it with water and wash each of the shrimp well. Once done, let the water drip for a few minutes. I recommend the use of a colander or a wire mesh to make the job easy. Next comes the marinade. Arrange the shrimp in a clean bowl. Sprinkle the garlic salt and ground black pepper over it. Toss using a spoon or even your hands. Add the cooking wine. I use Shao Xing cooking wine for this recipe. You can also use other liquors such as gin, vodka, and brandy. This is the part when the shrimp is absorbing all those good flavors. The next part is the preparation of the coating or the ingredients that makes the shrimp crispy. I use flour, cornstarch, and ground cayenne pepper (to add spice). Dredge the marinated shrimp on the flour mixture and fry. That’s it. I love to have this with super spicy vinegar. Try this Crispy Nilasing na Hipon (Fried Shrimp Marinated in Wine) for pulutan, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
• 1 pound shrimp, head and shell on • ¾ cup all purpose flour • ¼ cup Shao Xing Cooking wine • ¼ teaspoon ground black
pepper • 1½ teaspoons garlic salt • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne red pepper • 3 tablespoons cornstarch • 1½ cups cooking oil
Instructions 1. Wash the shrimp with running water. Drain the water and place the shrimp in a bowl. 2. Add garlic salt and ground black pepper. Mix the ingredients either by tossing using your hands. 3. Add the cooking wine. Toss and ensure that all the ingredients are well blended. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. 4.

TAA NA SA TAAL CHURCH Ang pinakamalaking Simbahang Katoliko sa Asya Tektso at kuha ni Jane Gonzales
Naghahanap ka ba ng naiibang lugar na tipong may “world record” na pinanghahawakan pero hindi naman ganun kalayo? Ang Basilica of St. Martin of Tours na nasa sentro ng bayan ng Taal, Batanggas ay isa sa mainam na puntahan. Ito ang sinasabing pinakamalaking simbahang Katoliko sa Pilipinas at Asya. Masusulit din naman ang paglalakbay mo dahil ilang lakad lang mula rito ay mabibisita mo na ang Galleria Taal (Camera Museum), Bahay ni Leon Apacible at Our Lady of Caysasay Church. Byaheng pa-Taal! Isa sa daan para makarating sa taal ay pagsakay alin man bus terminal sa may Kamuning o Cubao, Quezon City. Kung susumahin ay posibleng umabot ng tatlong oras ang byahe at mababa sa Php 200 kada isang tao ang pamasahe. Samantala, para makarating naman sa mismong simbahan ay kailangan sumakay pa ng jeep (Php 8) papuntang Lemery. Ang Facade ng Simbahan
May taas na 96 metro at lapad na 45 metro ang Basilica of St. Martin of Tours. Ang façade nito ay maihahambing sa mga napanood mong paaralan sa pelikula gaya na lamang ng gusali sa pelikulang Sarah, Ang Munting Prinsesa at Matilda. Subalit kapansin-pansin hindi ito pininturahan na marahil ay para mapanatili ang pagka-vintage o lumang karakter nito. Kung ihahalintulad naman ang kabuuang itsura nito na nasa mataas na lugar ay puwede na ang Antipolo Church (Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage) at Manaoag Church ( Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag ). Ito kasi yung klase ng simbahan na malayo pa lamang ay matatanaw mo na sa laki at taas nito. Samantala, nasa harapan naman ng simbahan ang malaki ring church bell, mukha itong malaki pero ang sabi ang pinakamalaki ay nasa Panay Church. Interior ng Simbahan Maganda ang looban o interior ng Taal Church na mapapansin mo agad ang natatanging kariktan, arkitektura, visual arts, at pagkabanal ng simbahan. Conservative ang mga kulay dahil halos naglalaro lamang sa gray, brown at white ang pintura. Litaw na litaw naman bilang accent ang mga pinta dahil sa mahusay na pagkakaguhit, kulay, detalye, at rangya. Tulad ng ibang malalaking simbahan ay may lugar dito para sa pagbibinyag, sindihan ng kandila, at lugar kung saan ka maaaring humawak sa poon. Kasaysayan Ang orihinal na gusali ng Taal Church ay itinayo noong 1575 sa pangunguna ni Padre Diego Espina. Pero hindi na ito ang nakikita ng marami dahil ang kasalukuyang puwesto ng simbahan ay pinaglipatan na lamang nito. Ang orihinal na puwesto nito ay nasa San Nicolas na malapit mismo sa Taal Volcano. Nang sumabog ang bulkan noong 1754 ay kasama rin ito sa mga napagpasyahang ilipat. Ang nasa likod naman ng pangalawang konstraksyon
nito ay si Father Marcos Anton na kinuhang architect si Luciano Oliver. Kung saliksikin ay ang nabanggit na architect ang nasa likod din ng renobasyon ng San Agustin Church (Maynila) noong 1854. Sino ba si St. Martin of Tours? Ayon sa Catholic Online, si St. Martin ay ipinanganak sa Hungary, naninirahan nang matagal sa Pavy, Italy pero tumanda’t namatay na sa France. Sinasabing si St. Martin ay sikat sa kanyang "miraculous cloak". Ayon pa sa kwento ng Catholic Online ay isang araw na nakatodo postura ang mandirigmang si Martin, nakakita siya ng ng isang pulubing halos hubad na sa kanyang gula-gulanit na damit. Sa kanyang awa sa pobreng lalaki ay pinunit niya ang kanyang puting balabal at idinamit dito. Nang gabi daw iyon ay napanaginipan ni Martin si Jesus na suot-suot ang kalahati ng kanyang cloak na ibinigay. Pagkatapos noon ay bininyagan na siya sa edad na 18-taong gulang. Pero hindi lang natatapos sa balabal ang kwento n’ya, gaya ng ibang Kristiyano ay marami sa siyang dinanas na hirap sa kanyang iba’t ibang paglalakbay. Kasama na rito ang pagkakatanggal sa kanya sa militar, pagtakwil sa kanya ng kanyang ama, at ang pagluklok sa kanya bilang Bishop, hindi ng simbahan, kundi ng mga residente sa Tours o Turonensis sa France.

Cancer - June. 22 - July. 22
Mahalaga ang pagiging matatag at paninindigan sa iyong prinsipyo kaysa pananahimik. Sa panahon ngayon, ang pananahimik para maipaabot ang iyong pag-asam ng kapayapaan ay 'di na napapansin. Kaya kailangan na maging direkta at bukas ng pagsasabi ng iyong saloobin para sa iyong kapakanan at pinangangalagaan.
Leo - July. 23 - August. 22
Nakakainis, nakakabato at tila nakakawala na rin ng gana na magpatuloy pa pero huwag ka munang sumuko sa laban. Ang iyong pagsusumikap ay may patutunguhan lalo na sa aspeto ng iyong pananalapi. Samahan mo lang nang malalim na pag-aanalisa ang iyong mga susunod na hakbang para nasa tama ka ring direksyon. Sa panahon na pinanghihinaan ka na ng loob, isipin mo na lang na kapag tumigil ka ba ay ito ba talaga ang gusto mo? Para saan ang mga nasimulan at pinagpaguran.
Virgo - Aug. 23 - Sept. 23
Minsan napakahusay kung magiging mapangahas ka rin na tuklasin kung anong kapalaran ang posibleng matamo sa kabilang ibayo. Hindi mo naman kailangan na iwanan kaagad kung ano ang mayroon ka ngayon kung mas mainam sa isa. Ang importante ay alam mong mayroon ka pang pagpipilian. Kung tutuusin kasi ay maraming tao ang nagtitiis sa kalagayan nila kahit na puwede naman silang umahon sa kanilang estado. Ang dapat lang ay magkaroon ng kamalayan, tamang pag-aanalisa, at lakas ng loob.
Libra - Sep. 24 - Oct. 23 Hindi na kataka-taka ang lakas ng iyong karisma. Kung malalaman mo kung paano ito gamitin para sa bentahe at lalo na sa pakikipag-ugnayan mo sa trabaho, negosyo o sosyalan ay marami itong maihahatid na magandang bagay sa iyo. Samantala, huwag kang mangamba kung kinakailangan na minsan ay kailangan mong magpaubaya o magparaya. Dahil kung may nawawala ay dumarating din. Ang kailangan mo lang maging handa sa oportunidad na iyong inaasam.
Scorpio - Oct. 24 - Nov. 22
Ang pagdating ng problema ay hindi mo mapipigilan kahit anong gawin mo dahil may iba-iba naman dahilan ‘yan. Nangyayari ito sa panahon na kahit masaya ang mga nangyayari sa iyo at partikular na sa mga pagkakataon na hindi mo inaasahan. Ang pinakamainam na solusyon na lamang dito ay maging matatag at positibo ka sa pagharap sa mga suliranin. Totoo na ang pagiging mahinahon o masaya ay isang desisyon na iyong dapat na matutuhan.
Sagittarius - Nov. 23 - Dec. 21
Importante na matanggap mo na hindi lahat ay mapapasakamay mo. Subalit, hindi naman ibig sabihin nito ay wala ng magagandang bagay na mangyayari sa iyo. Sadyang may mga pagkakataon na inilalaan para sa iyo basta marunong kang maghintay at maging determinado. Isa pa’y madalas hindi man eksakto sa imahinasyon mo ay mas mainam pa nga ang iyong nakakamit sa buhay. Maging mapagpasalamat at huwag kang bibitaw!

Capricorn - Dec. 22 - Jan. 20
Maliliit man ay mahahalaga rin. Ito ang bagay na prinsipyo para sa iyo ngayon para hindi lamang umusad, kundi magkaroon ng progreso ang iyong mga plano. Madalas kasi ay nakatuon lamang ang iyong atensyon sa malalaking bagay o konsepto. Ang nakakaligtaan mo ay dapat mong tingnan din ang ilang detalye at maliliit na tagumpay na iyong matatamasa. Hindi lamang ito para mapagaan ang iyong loob, kundi para makita mo rin kung saan ka malakas o ginaganahan at saan ka mahina o dapat mong pagtuonan ng pansin. Mainam din naman na nagsisimula sa kaunti pero dahan-dahan at sigurado naman ang pag-abante.
Aquarius - Jan. 21 - Feb. 19
Wala naman problema sa pagiging bukas sa iyong saloobin, partikular na roon sa gusto mong makamit. Iyon nga lang ay huwag ka naman na maging garapal. Huwag mong ipilit at ipagtutulakan ang gusto mo para makuha lamang at kahit nakakaagrabyado ka na ng iba. Kalma lang at samahan mo ng pagkuwela ang iyong pamamaraan. Kung akala mo na hindi nakakatulong sa iyo ang pagiging kalmante ay nagkakamali ka.
Pisces - Feb. 20 - March. 20
Ang pananatili ng iyong balanseng paghawak sa sitwasyon, kahit pa nakakadama ka rin ng pressure ay napakainam. Marami kang natutuhan at natatapos na gawain dahil dito. Bukod pa d’yan ay natutulungan mo rin ang ibang tao na maging mabuti sa kanilang gawain. Nakikita rin naman kasi nila na tama ang iyong taktika sa buhay at mainam kung gagayahin ka nila. Kung iisipin ay malakas din ang iyong impluwensya sa iba ng hindi mo namamalayan.
Aries - March. 21 - April. 20
Tama na huwag kang padala sa konsepto na kailangan na magawa mo lahat at nang mabilisan. Mainam na pagtuunan mo muna ang iyong makakaya sa kasalukuyan bago ka umusad sa susunod na gawain. Maaaring marami ang magpapadama sa iyo na mali ka, pero sa bandang huli ang makakapagtanto rin kung tama o mali ang iyong desisyon ay panahon. Ang lagi mo lang iisipin ay mabuti ka dahil may ginagawa ka at sinusunod mo ang sa tingin mong dapat gawin.
Taurus - April. 21 - May. 21
Kung tatanggapin mo ang iyong realidad at buong pagkatao ay matututuhan mo ring tanggapin ang mga biyaya na nakalaan sa iyo. Walang puwang ang agam-agam at ni hindi mo kailangan magdalawangisip kung karapat- dapat ka ba. Kung ano man ang makakamit o tinatamasa mong tagumpay ay ito talaga ay para sa iyo. Tandaan mo rin na hanggang positibo ka ay maraming pintuan ng oportunidad kang makikita at mabubuksan.
Gemini - May. 22 - June. 21 Kahit na nasa punto ka pa na inaalam mo kung anu-ano ang dapat unahin ay huwag mo kalimutan ang iyong “focus.” Kung mayroon ka nito ay maiwawasan mo ang hindi mo na dapat pakialaman. Gayon din, tuloy-tuloy lang ang iyong pagpupursige sa buhay nang walang inaalintanang ibang tao. Malay mo, ito lamang pala ang susi sa iyong mahayahay na buhay kahit gaano pa kalalim o kalayo ang gusto mong patunguhan.

EXPRESS/IMPRESS : BARON GEISLER VS KIKO MATOS, AMANOS
“We should never apologize for having high standards in love, because the right man, or the man who really wants to be in your life will rise up to meet those standards,” saad pa ni Jodi na tila nag-iiwan tila may iba ring ipinapakahulugan.
ni phoebe doroth
Nagsimula sa enkwentro nila sa isang bar hanggang sa nauwi sa hamunan na sa TV para sa isang Mixed Martial Arts [MMA] fight. Ito ang naganap sa pagitan ng dating teen star na si Baron Geisler at ng independent actor nasi Kiko Matos. Ang kanilang URCC Fight Night ay ginanap sa Valkyrie Club sa Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Dahil naging “unanimous draw” ang resulta ng kanilang paghaharap, may maaasahan pa kayang rematch? Kung pagbabasehan ang pahayag nina Kiko at Baron ay wala na. Tila sa loob na ibinuhos ng dalawa ang kanilang galit at doon na rin tinapos. Ika nga ni Kiko ay may respeto s’ya kay Baron at mayroon itong ginuntuang puso. “It has been a roller coaster ride these past few weeks. At this point, whenever I look back upon everything that happened I feel very humbled. From the bar fight, to getting kissed, to spraying ‘BEER’ at my [opponent], and being in the ring. I am just in awe,” mensahe ni Kiko sa kanyang Facebook matapos ang laban. “I would like to give credit and my respects to Baron Geisler for not giving up and taking all the hits. Baron Geisler is a strong [opponent] and with a heart of gold.” Samantala, sinabi ni Baron sa panayam sa kanya ng ABS-CBN News na limang araw lang s’yang nakapag-ensayo. Inamin din n’ya na sa unang round ng kanilang pagtutuos ay gusto lang n’ya ay ma-survive ang round. “I just took the challenge. I don’t pick fights and I never back down. I still feel I’m the winner here. We’re both are, but I feel na-challenge ko ang sarili ko. Magiging humble na ko ‘pag labas ko,” ani Baron. Dagdag pa niya ay wala na sa kanya ang pride, yabang at okay na sila na ni

Kiko. Parehbo daw silang may respeto sa isa’t isa. Matindi rin ang trip ng dalawang ito pero mabuti na rin na idaan na lang sa MMA at maging sports pagkatapos ng lahat. Sa huli pareho rin silang nanalo sa kanilang mga realizations sa isa’t isa.
IMPRESS: JODI STA. MARIA UMI-ACHY BREAKY HEART FOR REEL AND REAL Kasalukuyan napapanood sa sinehan ang Achy Breaky Heart ng Star Cinema na pinagbibidahan ni Jodi Sta. Maria. Dito ay dalawa ang kanyang leading man sa katauhan nina Richard Yap at Ian Veneracion na pinag-aagawan ang kanyang karakter na si Chinggay. Subalit, kung gaano nakakakilig ang kanyang pelikula ay masasabing kabaligtaran ito sa ngayon sa totoong buhay. Hiwalay na kasi si Jodi sa kanyang longtime boyfriend na si Cavite Vice-Governor Jolo Revilla. Ayon sa panayam sa huli sa Pep.ph ay mutual decision naman daw ang paghihiwalay nila at gusto muna nilang pagtuunan ang kani-kaniyang karera. Mainam na walang sinasabing masama sa isa’t isa sina Jodi at Jolo para humapa hanggang nawala na ang intriga. Subalit kung may isa pang magandang bagay dito ay tila mas naging wais at mature si Jodi. Sa panayam sa kanya ay nakaka-inspire ang kanyang mga linya gaya na lamang ng ma-interview s’ya sa Tonight With Boy Abunda.
EXPRESS: SUNSHINE DIZON PALABAN FOR REEL AND REAL Isa sa cast ng upcoming show na Encantadia si Sunshine Dizon, na isa rin sa mga orihinal na sang’gre sa version nito noong 2005. Kung dati ay siya ang sang’gre o diwata ng apoy, inaabangan naman ng mga manonood kung ano ang kanyang susunod na papel. Pero kamakailan ay ibang clue ang pinasabog ni Sunshine sa kanyang Instagram. Ang ‘di umano’y third party sa relasyon niya sa kanyang asawang si Timothy Tan na nagngangalang Clarissa Sison. “Hello Clarisma! Cla,Claris of St.Lukes q.c patient experience officer Clarisma Soriano Sison…” Ang mensahe ni Sunshine sa Instagram na nagbigay ng clue ng kanyang pinagdadaanan. “#CLARISMASORIANOSISON #PATIENTEXPERIENCOFFICER#patientexper ience Oh and by the way, how was it like to live so near me? Exactly 3 floors up in the same building were my children and i live. And did you also enjoyed your U.S trip recently? So excited to hear all about it, im pretty sure your husband will be so happy also. I do hope its all worth it. #clarismasorianosison#stlukeshospit alqc #claris” Ang isa pang hiwalay na post ng Kapuso actress na may larawan na ng tinutukoy n’yang babae. Naglabas na rin ng pahayag ang kanyang nakahiwalayang asawa na balak na umanong makipag-annul. Samantala, may kumakalat din na mensahe si Clarissa na nanawagan na huwag sana manghusga kaagad ang mga tao sa kanya. Subalit, hindi pa kumpirmado kung ito nga ang tunay na Clarissa. Sabi ni Sunshine ay handa siyang ilaban sa korte ang isyu hanggang sa makuha n’ya ang hustisya. Naku, mahirap din pala kapag totohanan na ang isang “mistress story” kasi hindi mo man alam kung kailan ang ending pero marami ang masasaktan.
RHIAN RAMOS JOINS HEART EVANGELISTA: THE WOMAN WITH "THE RAREST AD DESIRABLE HANDBAG" SOLENN, REVIVES A VILMA Maliban sa pagiging actress at bida sa Juan Happy Love Story ay marami pa ngang magagandang katangian ang isang Heart Evangelista. Isa rin siya sa kinikilalang fashion icon sa local showbiz, bukod pa sa kanyang pagiging mabenta at naiibang visual artist. Isa sa pinagkakaabalahan ni Heart ay ang pagpipinta sa signature handbag na ayon sa report ng Philippine Journal ay napagkakakitaan n’ya ng may Php 60, 000 hanggang Php 90,000. Maliban pa ito sa talagang pagpipinta n’ya sa canvas na nagdadala sa kanya ng Php 700, 000 hanggang Php 1 million kada isang art piece. Sa panayam pa nga sa asawa ni Sen. Chiz Escudero ay nakatakda umano nitong ilunsad ang kanyang business na may kinalaman sa all white and all black collection of clothes. Sa ibang banda, nakaw-pansin din ang bag ni Heart sa kanyang Instagram post. Ito ay ang 25-sentimetrong Himalayan Birkin bag na gawa sa Niloticus croc. Bibibira at isa sa pinakaasam ang nasabing bag sa mundo ayon sa Vogue. com. Tinatayang humigit- kumulang na $150,000 ang halaga nito at ilan sa celebrities na mayroon umano nito ay sina Hollywood star Victoria Beckham at reality star- socialite Kim Kardashian. “… fashion is something that is innate. Fashion has a lot to do with your passion, your life, and about the things that you want to do. You can’t just put
on a fur coat and say, “Oh, I love this.” You can’t just put on a designer dress but not be comfortable wearing it. Fashion has a lot to do with who you are,” saad ni Heart tungkol sa kanyang fashion sense sa panayam sa kanya ng Star Style. A week ago, the Instagram followers of the Juan Happy Love Story star were stunned with her newest handbag acquisition. It was a 25-centimeter Himalayan Birkin, which according to Vogue.com, is the ‘rarest and most desirable handbag in the world.’
LOISA ANDALIO, THE NEXT BIG STAR NA NGA BA? Kung pagbabasehan ang ratings ng Wansapanataym Presents: Candy’s Crush ay mukhang tanggap nga ng manonood ang tambalan nina Jerome Ponce at Loisa Andalio. Bago ang kanilang pagsalang sa nabanggit na weekly show ay napanood na ang dalawa sa Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita. Dahil sa bagong programang ito ay hinuhulaan na isa ang dalaga a susunod na igo-groom na big star ng Kapamilya Network. Matatandaan na gaya n’ya na isang ex-PBB (Teen Edition) housemate ay umulagwa rin ang mga career nina James Reid at Kim Chiu. Dumaan din s’ya ngayon sa pagkakaroon ng love team sa mga katauhan nina Joshua Garcia at Jerome. Nauna na s’yang naipareha kay Joshua na kinagat din ng masa. “Siyempre masaya kami kasi nabibigyan kami ng opportunity ni Jerome na magka-work po,” ani Loisa sa interview sa kanya ng ABS-CBN News tungkol sa kanyang ka-love team. “Para sa akin kailangan ko talagang bumawi sa kanila dahil binibigyan nila kami -- ako -- ng chance. Masaya din dahil hindi naman sa pinu-push, binibigyan ng chance kung magwo-work out, so masaya,” sabi naman ni Jerome.
SANTO'S CHARACTER

“She eats almost anything like me. She’s sporty and kalog. It’s gonna be fun,” ani Solenn. Samantala, tuloy pa rin ang pagpapakitang gilas ni Rhian sa larangan ng pag-arte. Ang kanyang bagong drama project ay adaptation ng 1992 movie ni Vilma Santos. Siya ang magre-remake ng role ng Star for All Seasons dito na nangangalang si Clara. Isang babaeng hindi masaya sa kanyang buhay may-asawa kaya iibig sa lalakeng mas bata sa kanya. “We are all honored to be a part of this show dahil alam namin na talagang acting piece siya para sa aming lahat. It requires everyone to give it their all. As actors and as lovers of our craft, it’s really an honor for us to receive a project like this,” saad ni Rhian. Ang magiging leading men n’ya rito ay sina Kiko Estrada at Rafael Rosell na gagampanan ang mga karakter na binigyang buhay noon nina Aga Muhlach at Gabby Concepcion. Narito rin sina Jazz Ocampo, Glydel Mercado, Stephanie Sol, Gab de Leon, Gee Canlas, JC Tiuseco, Sherilyn Reyes, Cheska Diaz, at Michael de Mesa.
