Primer Groups opens 5 more stores at Abreeza

By CARMELITO Q. FRANCISCO

PRIMER Group of Companies, a distributor of foreign brands, opened five stores during the last two months at the Abreeza, the mall in the 10-hectare mixed-use project of the Ayala Land Inc. and Anflo Management and Investment Corp.

Based on company information, Primer Group spent about P40 million ($920,386 @ $1=P43.46) in opening Columbia, Bauhaus, Quicksilver, Ellesse and Tretorn.

DAR Regional Director Faisar Mambuay, CESO IV and PARO Agusan Norte Andre Atega (leftmost) Jacky E.

When the mall opened in May, Primer Group also opened 14 stores and kiosks, including outlets for the Travel Club, Bratpack and Res|Toe|Run, a brand of shoes.

Columbia is a 70-year old name in sports wear; Bauhaus is a clothing brand based in Melbourne, Australia; Quicksilver, is an American company known for its products for surfing and other sports wear; Ellesse is an Italian sports wear company; and, Tretorn

is a Sweden brand for shoes and other apparel.

During the opening of its 14 stores and kiosks, the company projected a 45% increase in its Min-

danao revenues as it also has stores in SM City Davao, Limketkai in Cagayan de Oro, and Robinsons Mall and KCCC Mall in General Santos City.

Although he did not mention how much the revenues were from its Mindanao-based stores, Quintos was confident that it will be “substantial.”

He said these stores have lured high-end shoppers that have been looking for brands that will fit their lifestyle. In one instance, a moneyed family based in Central Mindanao tried but failed to persuade one store to close down for one day

so its members could shop.

Although its request was not granted, the family went on shopping for its members wanted.

The entry of these new stores have also resulted in more spaces rented for Abreeza, which has 330 spaces out to be rented.

The mall is looking at filling 90% of those spaces by the end of 2011, but it has yet to release the report on how many stores have yet to be filled.

In Oct o b e r,

about 80% of the spaces were already filled up, said Antonio Luigi C. Escano, operations manager of the mall.

The projecting is also opening within the next three years the hotel and the 26-story condominium, the Abreeza Residences of Alveo Land, another Ayala Land subsidiary.

In 2012, the mall component of Centrio, a Cagayan de Oro mixed-use joint venture project of Ayala and Floirendo companies will be opened.

Quintos of Primer Group said his company will likely also open stores in that location.

REGIONAL NEWS APO Ranao serves Iligan-C. de Oro flood victims 4

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2011

Editor: JOE DEL PEURTO FELICILDA

TRUE to its pledge and commitment to serve, Alpha Phi Omega (APO) RANAO came with relief goods from Marawi City and Lanao del Sur last Sunday, December 25 to the Evacuation Center for the December 17 flood victims at Upper Hinaplanon, Iligan City.

Dureza From page 6

The other is full of life, vibrant.

The Sea of Galilee is sparkling, alive with marine life, teeming with fishes, blooming corrals and rich underwater marine growth. But the Dead Sea is so salty, its waters murky and stagnant, unmoving with no lush marine life.

Stunned by this contrast, hydrologists and scientists were once commissioned to find out what was the cause of all this. What they discovered was so simple. And so ordinary and true that even an ordinary man could discover for himself.

They found that the river bed of Dead Sea was so far below the sea level. In fact, it was (and still is) reputed to be in the lowest level on earth. For being so low below sea level, the Dead Sea could only take in water into its basin but it could not give out water. It had no rivers to bring out water from its basin.

It received water but nothing flowed out of it.

In stark contrast, the Sea of Galilee had more rivers from which flowed its streaming waters out of its basin unto the fields and farms downstream. Unlike the Dead Sea that only received but never gave, the Sea of Galilee was generous as it had more rivers

that brought its sparkling waters in its bosom down to the world outside. In fact, it gave more than what it received. And the more it gave, the more sparkling waters flowed into it.

At a time like this, it may be good to look at ourselves.

Is your life so murky and stagnant as you only care for your own selves? Are you as selfish? Do you just receive and not give? And are you as dead as the Dead Sea? Or are you so generous and selfless? Do you share your blessings to others especially to those who have less.? Do you give much more than you receive? Is your life sparkling and bountiful? And are you so vibrant, so full of life as the Sea of Galilee?

THE WORLD OUTSIDE -- When you see one in tattered clothes, knocking on your car door with outstretched hand, do you shoo him away telling yourself you should not be helping mendicants and beggars?Or you roll down your car window and give your lowest coin just so he conveniently disappears? Or you give him enough for a meal? When you have ordered so much in a restaurant and when you have so much untouched left

overs, do you pack them in a doggie bag and not give it to your dog but to some waif loitering outside hoping you will give a second look? Do you look beyond your gated walls or farmhouse to the neighbor next door and get the feel of what their next meal can be, if at all?

Or closer to home, how do you treat your househelps who work for you 24-hours a day? Are you as generous to them as when you tip a 5-star hotel waiter for a quickie meal or coffee or to a snappy saluting and overly solicitous uniformed man?

Are you finding out how your yaya ekes out a living to send her own children to school hoping her own children don’t end up doing the same menial job later in their lives? Do you tend to find out from your business employees how they manage to keep body and soul together? And so on and so forth. And many more questions you yourselves can frame on your own.

Pause and think of the lessons of the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee. In the end, only you can tell. @@@ A Blessed Christmas and a generous New Year to one and all!

is to get everyone on board to help the victims and their families. Let those who carp and criticize first help. We will deal with your views later. @@@@ MY PARABLE --The recent tragedy and the Christmas season both reminded me of that old parable about the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee. This also reminded me of a venerable lady, paralyzed and immobilized in a wheelchair for life but whose intellect and mind travelled and meandered all over the world. She taught me this parable many,many years ago.

She’s the late Lourdes Cura Solis who came from Luzon, met at UP and married a Dabawenyo, Mariano Solis.

Both of them spent the best of their lives in Davao in the service of the unfortunate.

A TALE OF CONTRASTS --The Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee are two bodies of water in the middle east adjacent to one another but they both have startling contrasts.

So near yet so different. One is dead as its name connotes.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Typhoon survivors need more help

By IRMA S. BOZA

ILIGAN City--More than 285 people are dead and 400 missing after Tropical Storm Sendong ripped Iligan City on Friday December 16, 2011.

Despite the claims that there were tropical storm signal warning from PAGASA – the Philippine government agency for weather forecasting, flood control, astronomical observations, and time service, there was no known “pre-emptive evacuation” that took place. Torrential rains attacked the area while most families were sleeping.

Rivers swelled and rapidly overflowed its banks immediately wiping out homes.

Hundreds of men, women and children were drowned leaving a toll of 285 reported dead and 400 still missing as of December 21.

The dead quickly overwhelmed the local mortuaries. Soon bodies were no longer accepted and they were simply stacked up outside. A shortage of embalming fluid and coffins made proper burial impossible.

Relief efforts were slow to materialize and thousands of homeless were soon hungry and unclothed.

Some survivors said that huge logs, illegally cut, came racing down the river and BRANCHES 1. QAPI - CDO 2. QAPI-ILIGAN

destroyed houses and struck survivors. The fortunate ones clung to the logs and floated to safety.

The government and local media are investigating this illegal lumbering and have promised action against those who put profit above the safety of fellow citizens.

Currently, combined efforts of hundreds of local volunteers and Army personnel are providing a minimal amount of food, water and blankets to the homeless.

Due on Friday, the 23rd of December is the largest ship in the Philippine navy which will carry relief supplies including 400 much-needed coffins.

Editor: RUEL PELONE

Wala na gyuy tubig PILA ka adlaw nga gaagas ang tubig nga gina-supply sa Cagayan de Oro Water District (Cowd), 5 ngadto sa 6 ka oras matag adlaw.

Apan niadtong Miyerkoles sa gabii wala na gyud miagas pa ang tubig.

Ang resulta, daghan ang nangabilar og pinaabot.

Tingali wala pa madawat sa Cowd ang salapi nga gigahin ni Presidente Benigno Aquino III. Ingon sa Cowd sobra sa P30-milyones ka pesos ang kadaut nga ilang nahiagum, apan si Presidente Aquino migahin og P52-milyones kapin.

Kung sumahon, ginansiya pa ang Cowd og P22-milyones ka pesos kapin kung kulang.

Ang tubig nga ginasupply sa Cowd nawala human nga mihapak ang bagyong Sendong dinhi sa Cagayan de Oro niadtong kaadlawon sa petsa 17 sa Disyembre. Petsa 30 na sa Disyembre karon

Editorial apan walay alibyo kay wala may maayong resulta ang matod pa pag-ayo sa Cowd sa ilang nagubang pasilidad.

Kung wala pa marelease ang gigahin ni Presidente Aquino, nganong dili man kamo una mogasto, o aduna pa ba kahay kuwarta ang Cowd.

Imposible kung wala kay 30-porsento man ang usbaw sa bayronon sa tubig ang gipangayo sa Cowd ngadto sa ilang kunsomidor.

Gani, ang pipila nakadawat na man sa singil o “billing” sa Cowd bisan og walay agas ang ilang mga gripo.

Nganong hinay man ang paglihuk sa Cowd?

Ang usa ka ahensiya dili gayud makalihuk kung walay kuwarta. Hinaut nga dili bangkaruta ang Cowd; asa na man diay mipaingon ang kuwarta.

Your family tree THINK a minute.

Ever hear the expressions “Like father, like son?” or “The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree?”

Two families in America were studied for many years.

One was the Max Jukes family; the other was the Jonathan Edwards family.

What was discovered in this study is very interesting.

Max Jukes was a man who did not believe in God or strong principles of right and wrong, and he married a woman like himself.

More than 1,200 of their descendants were studied for several generations.

310 became professional beggars; 440 died of sexually transmitted diseases; 130 were sent to prison, 7 of them for murder; over 100 became alcoholics; 60 became professional thieves

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst and robbers; and 190 became prostitutes. Only 20 learned a profession, and 10 of those learned their trade in prison.

Jonathan Edwards, however, was a man who daily lived by the principles of Jesus Christ, and he chose to marry a woman who also had a personal relationship with Christ.

Their descendants were studied over generations also. 300 of them became Christian ministers, mis-

sionaries, and theology professors; over 100 others became university professors; another100 became lawyers and attorneys; 30 became judges; 60 became medical doctors; another 60 became writers of published, popular books; 14 became presidents of universities; many others became successful business people; 3 became United States congressmen; and 1 became the Vice President of the United States.

It is clearly true that our

children end up following our example much more than following our advice!

You cannot train up your child in the way you’re not going yourself.

But you can start changing and going that way today—by asking the One Who invented families to forgive you for your wrong way of living.

Then ask Jesus Christ to take charge of your heart and character.

As you start living His way every day, you will start showing your children the successful, right way of living.

And they will also teach their children, who will then teach their children.

Because well trained children grow up to train their children well.

Just Think a Minute.

From tragedy to triumph A RIVER of tears flowed with the pouring rain and a chorus of moaning joined the howling wind, in the darkest hour before dawn of December 17, 2011. It was a day of infamy when man’s greed provoked Mother Nature’s fury, and she unleashed the full strength of her ferocity.

It was not an act of God. It was not even a force of nature. It was the folly of man. Man at the height of his avarice and at the depth of his selfishness, has by his own hand opened the floodgates of judgment upon his foolish head.

But our loving God never sleeps. He let the ocean of His mercy flow out to the struggling souls in their hour of desperate darkness.

He dispatched His angels to the scene of chaos. Some came as rescuers with ropes, firemen with rubber rafts or bystanders with helping hands. Some angels took the shape of tree branches, billboard structures, float-

Words For Bullets Girlie Gualberto-Suan ing cabinets, swimming animals and other unlikely objects that unbelievably transformed into life-saving devices.

It was a night of misery and miracles!

My dear friends Kito and Aida del Castillo together with their family, were huddled on the rooftop of their house praying the rosary and singing songs of praise. They thanked God for their most valuable Christmas gift, which was their life.

My sister Dolly Diaz, who always looks stunning and smart, arrived at our doorstep looking like a mouse that the cat dragged in from the mud. Sendong

dealt her a cruel blow, but she was her usual serene and upbeat self. She lost everything, but she just shrugged it off and said, “What I lost were only things.” It showed that she was also smart on the inside, where it matters most.

God sent His chariots to my brother Bans Gualberto in the form of a vacant taxi and a fire truck. Bans’ harrowing and heroic tale of rescue cannot be given justice in this article. But I can’t resist recounting its anticlimactic ending. In the aftermath of his traumatic yet spirit-filled experience, Bans lost his voice. I presumed he was sick from the fatigue and stress he had

gone through. He croaked, “I’m not sick. I lost my voice from the endless retelling of my story.” Yikes! Even in the pit of despair, the gem of humor sparkles.

From the darkest tragedy, there is a triumph of the human spirit. From the biggest mess, there is a message of hope. God did not leave us orphaned. The tremendous outpouring of generosity and kindness was proof of God's inspiring presence.

The call to compassion was answered magnificently, by a flood of charity. This year Christmas was celebrated quietly and frugally. The meaningless partying had been replaced with selfless giving. Amazingly, Sendong led us to discover the true essence of Christmas. It’s not a celebration, it’s an adoration of the newborn Jesus. It’s about LOVE.. of God through man.

We may have thought that Christmas has silently slipped away, but actually we have celebrated it in a most meaningful way!

The parable of the dead sea SENDONG SHOCKED US ALL––Never before has Mindanao experienced this kind of devastation. Not that it is the worst in the country.

It’s just that unlike Luzon and the Visayas, typhoons were unheard of in Mindanao until “Sendong” came.

The last one was about 40 years ago. That’s the reason why we Mindanaoans were caught literally with our pants down.

Call this a freak one?

Maybe but not really. With climactic crisis (a.k.a. “climate change”) all upon us, now we can never tell. Who knows, there will be more of this to come. God forbid!

We never got the chance to practice our typhoon responses. True, we did not get much lessons from the past. But of course, for some early critics, this is

Advocacy Mindanao Jess G. Dureza not an excuse for what they consider as bad crisis situation management observed over the past few days. *** I have been watching from Davao City only through media reports the events as they happened.

From a distance, we can never really make an accurate assessment of how the crisis was managed. There is always this temptation of doing a swivel -chair commentary without knowing

the behind-the-scene facts that are material to an honest and accurate analysis. In disasters such as this one, there will always be who will complain and criticize. Truth is there is not enough we can all possibly and humanly do to assuage and heal the pangs of pain and sufferings of the unfortunate many. When I handled crisis situations in the past, I always viewed with disdain others who made commentaries, even

criticisms, from afar and not from where the action was happening. Especially while the crisis situation was still on going.

I am saying this because lately I have been getting calls and messages complaining about how the situation is allegedly “being mishandled” after Sendong hit. And there is this tendency, especially during times of helplessness, to immediately put the blame on someone or something.

I will reserve my comments on this at the proper time. But yes, we need not be exposed to previous typhoons to know what should be properly done to address crisis situations, like this one. Let’s keep that for another time.

What’s important now is DUREZA/p.4

7 7,209 Pinoys are in jail in 66 countries Editor: ALLAN MEDIANTE

Lest we forget, they need our prayers and compassion, and strong government action...

“If Filipinos are scattered all over the world, so are those who are in jail. The inconvenient truth is that many of those who have joined the great Filipino Diaspora have ended up in a drab, dark and dirty foreign prison. ” Reports from 92 DFA posts revealed that a total of 7,209 Filipinos are either presently imprisoned or had pending cases in courts in six continents as of December last year.

“Our poor fellow Filipinos were behind bars or in the dock in 66 countries, from up in the Andes, where 35 alleged Filipina drug mules were awaiting their fate in Peru, to deep in Africa in Tanzania where 8 Filipinos were battling for their freedom in court, to strife-torn Syria where 27 domestics were up for trial or deportation, to China where 157 Filipinos were in prison for drug trafficking, 60 of whom had been meted with the death penalty,” according to Rep. Sonny Angara.

The 7,209 – culled from a 495-page DFA document – marked a two- and-half fold spike from the 2,856 “Filipinos in distress” reported

in 2003. Of these overseas Filipinos whom the DFA classified as “in detention, or house arrest or have pending cases in court” from July to December last year, 4,250 were male, and 2,913 female.

More than a third, or 2,555 of the 7,209, were already convicted and serving sentence at the time the report was made. While overall more Filipino men ran afoul with the law than their female counterparts, the DFA report showed that more Filipinas (760) were being convicted than Filipino men (590).

(If there seems to be data disparity here, it is because many consular reports did not indicate the gender of the detained.)

But the ranks of the convicted could swell as there was a total of 1,060 Filipinos waiting for their day in court, categorized by our diplomats as either “awaiting trial” or “on trial” or “under investigation.”

Angara added that some of them, however, even if convicted, will never serve a single day of their sentence as

foreign governments would rather deport them than pay for their board and lodging, a fate that awaits even those who have been acquitted.

From July to December 2011, 4,041 Filipinos were facing deportation, the eventual penalty for those who break immigration law. If all will be repatriated at the same time, it will need 23 Cebu Pacific Airbus 320s to fly them home.

Violation of immigration laws was the number one reason why Filipinos end up behind bars in other countries, accounting for 628 of the reported cases in the second semester of 2010.

Next were drug-related cases which, if you read the DFA report, run the whole gamut of the illegal narcotics trade, from manufacturing to smuggling to retailing to possession. At the end of last year, 478 Filipinos were in prison for these charges, of which one in every three can be found in a Chinese jail.

“That drug pushing can be an equal-opportunity tormentor as well, can be gleaned from the fact that women

accounted for 262, or more than half, of the reported cases. Although many Filipina drug mules were apprehended in China, it will be a folly to call it a Yellow Peril, as an increasing number of Filipinas with drugs in their possession were caught in Latin America. By the end of last year, 35 Pinays were languishing in Peruvian jails, 26 in Brazil, 6 in Ecuador, 2 in Chile, one each in Colombia, Bolivia and Suriname, and a pair was probably dancing the tango in some Argentinian jail.” Angara said.

Third on the list was “immorality”, a catch-all felony enforced by the religious police in Saudi Arabia and a few other Islamic states.

One post in that country, Riyadh, reported 222 cases, or two-thirds of the 316 cases worldwide.

Others in the top 10 offenses were theft and robbery (161 cases); estafa, embezzlement, fraud (114); libel, slander, defamation ( 114); murder, homicide (96); forgery, “false statement” (61); graft and corruption (58); and sex-related crimes (34).

Angara further stated that it will, however, be hard to ascertain the fi nal and complete numbers as most consular offices failed to detail the charges faced by our OFWs for reasons ranging from hardship in collating information as one diplomatic post can sometimes service six countries, to the need to protect the privacy of the accused, and to some

host governments’ explicit prohibition against divulging of the names of the indicted.

“Although it’s sometimes scant and sketchy as to specifics, the DFA report still reads like a global penal catalog based on the crimes that OFWs have been charged,” he stressed. The assortment of cases lodged against them ranged from sodomy to credit card fraud to illegal gambling to “terrorizing” an abode to possession of pornographic materials.

As to where these detained Philippine nationals were, half were in Malaysia, which packed its jails with 3,680 Filipinos. The deportation protocol of our southern neighbor is that the way to the Philippines must pass first through a prison door.

From July to December of last year our diplomats in Kuala Lumpur monitored 2,647 Filipino males and 1,033 Filipinas in six deportation megaplexes – Papar, Sibuga,Tawan, Sandakan, Sarawak and Pekan Nana.

Thrown in jail with their parents were 449 children.

Next to Malaysia was Saudi Arabia with 590 OFWs “in detention, house arrest or with pending cases in court,” followed by UAE (461), Indonesia (333), Kuwait ( 297), USA (283), Israel ( 236), China (210), Japan (123), Hong Kong (111), Singapore (83), Bahrain (62), Qatar (62), Italy (61), Thailand (57), Lebanon (54), Brazil (47), Macau (39), Peru (38) and Jordan (37) rounding up the

top 20.

The DFA estimates that there are 9,435,746 Philippine nationals abroad. Of this number, it believes that 686,320 are undocumented.

“The increasing number of our citizens in foreign shores should prompt us to multiply the resources which can be dispatched to their aid, whenever and wherever they will find themselves in distress,” pointed out Angara.

He further said, “For starters, government should increase, out of budgetary savings at the President’s constant disposal, the P150 million Assistance to Nationals Fund which the DFA administers.

This amount, which is about 3.4 million in US dollars, is a drop in the big bucket of OFW remittances last year which reached $18.76 billion and which is on track of being breached this year. We should reciprocate their remittances by setting up helplines and lifelines.”

“The alarming growth in drug smuggling cases should lead the government to devise “tripwire” mechanisms that will prevent mules from plying their trade including police action that will smash the local syndicates that dispatch them in droves,” he stressed.

Angara, however, emphasized that the ultimate and ideal solution which the government should aim for is to foster a healthy economy, which would encourage the return of OFWs and provide jobs and economic opportunities domestically.

The Acid Truth About Our Oceans

By EWA MAGIERA, IUCN Media

OCEAN acidification can no longer remain on the periphery of the international debates on climate change and the environment and should be addressed by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and other global environmental conventions, urges IUCN and the International Ocean Acidification Reference User Group (RUG) at the climate change summit in Durban.

In the run up to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro in June next year (Rio+20), world experts from RUG call for decision makers to urgently address the critical issue of ocean acidification.

“The increasing amounts of carbon dioxide that we emit into the atmosphere every day are changing our oceans, steadily increasing their acidity, and dramatically affecting marine life,” says Professor Dan Laffoley Marine Vice Chair of IUCN’s World Commission on Protected Areas and Chair of RUG. “This may also have severe impacts on human life in the future. Only by reducing our CO2 emissions and enhancing

the protection of oceans to strengthen their ability to recover, can we effectively address this issue. Policy makers in Durban, and in Rio in June next year, need to recognize this and take appropriate actions.”

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, particularly CO2, which is the main driver of climate change and the main cause of ocean acidification, is one of the goals of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

But the latest RUG publication calls for a broader strategy to reduce ocean acidification, alongside those tackling other threats to the marine environment such as overfishing and pollution.

According to the experts, although both climate change and ocean acidification are caused by excessive amounts of CO2 emissions, and so should be tackled together, not all approaches used to address the former will be effective in the fight against the latter.

“For example, ‘geoengineering’ solutions, such as reflecting solar radiation, which are often suggested to deal with climate change, will not address the progressive acidification of the ocean,” says Dr John Baxter of the Scottish Natural Heritage and Deputy Chair of the RUG. “Both climate change and acidification need to be taken into account when designing solutions to these challenges.”

Each year, the ocean absorbs approximately 25% of all the CO2 we emit. Its acidity has increased by 30% since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and acidification will continue at an unprecedented rate in the coming decades.

This can have a negative impact on marine organisms, especially the ‘calcifying’ ones such as shellfish, molluscs, coral reefs and various types of zooplankton and phytoplankton.

Increasing ocean acidity requires them to use more energy to build their shells, which has potentially severe ecological consequences. If the current acidification rate continues, it could lead to extinctions of some species and impact others that feed on them.

“Through its ability to absorb large amounts of CO2, the ocean plays a crucial role in moderating the rate and severity of climate change”, says Dr Carol Turley from the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the Knowledge Exchange Coordinator for the UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme, one of the partners of the Reference User Group. “But in many ways our ocean is also a victim of its own success, as this capacity jeopardizes its future health, its biodiversity and its ability to continue to provide us with food and sustainable economic development. Ocean acidification requires urgent and effective action now, before it’s too late. The obvious action is to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.”

Sa dihang anaa na sa balay ang maong dako nga sulbabida, akong gibuhatan kini og salog pinaagi sa tabla ug akong gipahaum sa kalinginon aron gayud mosibo kini nga dili matangtang bisan pa kung maagi-an sa sulog.

Kanunay gayud kini nako pahanginan ug giabay niini ang lubid nga dako ug flashlight ngadto sa sulbabida aron ready na gamiton bisan pa man nga wala pay katalagman. Gipahimutang namo kini sa may kusina nga bahin aron dali ra ang pagbira kung sa panahon adunay kalamidad.(Atangi gayud ang dugang sumpay ugma)

HOROSCOPE

Maayong adlaw kanimo Kuya Sonny. Ang akong suliran nga buot nakong ipatambag kanimo mao ang kabahin sa akong utlanan sa yuta nga ilogon kini sa akong silingan. Buot sabton nga makuhaan og dyutay ang lona

Maayong adlaw usab kanimo 249. Daghan na nga managsilingan ang nagkabingkil sa boundary kon utlanan sa ilang yuta. Gani ang uban kanaila, nagtinigbasa na tungod kay wala magkasinabtanay. Ang imong maayong buhaton, modangop ka sa inyong Lupon aron mahusay kamong duroha. Salamat.

Aquarius. It’s all good news this year, and you have a chance to feel more comfortable in your own skin than ever before.

Get ready to adopt the lessons you learned from the past year, and be on the lookout for interesting new people with influence.

Pisces. Further your knowledge in the industry you work and you can get ahead in business and gain a higher status, which in turn can increase your earning capacity. Use any down time to plot a course for where you would like to be this time next year.

Aries. You have come a long way in the past year and consequently have developed a sixth sense and tougher attitude. What happens next is up to you so take this time to prove to others how capably you really are at making your own decisions.

Taurus. Talk to others and share your ideas to gain further inspiration. It’s time to think outside the box to get attention from the top brass. You have what it takes to advance, you just need to harness all your skills.

Gemini. It’s the end of a year and the start of an abundance of new possibilities for the next. What you decide to do for yourself and how you go about making life happen is entirely up to you and nobody else.

Cancer. It may be ok to have a high expectation of yourself, be careful not to hold others to the same strict standards. If something needs to be said, communicate in a diplomatic manner.

Leo. Both Venus the love planet and Mercury the communication planet affect your personal life. It’s time to think through what to say to garner the results you want. However, with Mercury making a move on the 8th, it’s a positive time to make plans.

Virgo. Try to find other ways to communicate and let a special person know they are on your mind. Singles can make a romantic connection, and although sparks may not fly immediately, you are destined to build a strong union.

Libra. With the New Year upon you, it’s an ideal time to let bygones be bygones. If someone has come back into your life without explanation, don’t worry; the reasons will soon become clear.

Scorpio. You will finally be able to see clearly for the first time in a long while. Perhaps it’s the New Year or maybe it’s a celestial nudge in the right direction, whatever the case, it will allow you to make an important decision.

Sagittarius. There is an abundance of positive energy around your sign at the moment and you could be lucky in love.

Don’t be scared to make the first move. You have nothing to lose except boring nights home alone on the sofa.

Capricorn. Right now you have a chance to get more organized. Avoid over–booking your day planner and you will be surprised at how much more you can accomplish. When you have more structure in your life, you can spend time contemplating what comes next.

ENTERTAINMENT 9 ‘Asiong Salonga’ reaps most of 37th MMFF awards FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2011

Editor: IRENE DOMINGO

Shake Rattle and Roll 13 and Enteng Ng Ina Mo. My Househusband also took home the Gender Sensitivity Award.

Second Best Picture was given to Enteng Ng Ina Mo while Shake Rattle and Roll 13 took Third Best Picture.

Best Child Perfomer was Bugoy Cariño for his role in Shake Rattle and Roll 13.

Also, Enteng Ng Ina Mo got the Best Make-Up nod.

Ang Panday 2 took home Best Float and Best Visual Effects.

Given a special tribute last night was the late Lito Calzado, the father of Iza Calzado, who made a huge contribution to the film industry as a dancer, director and even as actor in certain movies.

Veteran Eddie Garcia was cited for his life’s work before he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award.

The night was hosted

by Richard Gomez, John Estrada and AiAi Delas Alas. With a report from MJ Marfori, TV5

said noting that the former Olympian pleaded guilty to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges filed by his exgirlfriend Joe Harris.

“Who knows, there might be even an amicable settlement with his girlfriend (Joe Harris)? We never know. That’s why I’m sure Mayweather needs money.” — JVP, GMA News

THE night belonged to Asiong Salonga and it marked a significant moment for Pinoy action films.

Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story took home 11 awards at the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival Awards Wednesday night at the Newport Performing Arts Center. The awards included Best Picture, Gatpuno Villegas Award, Best Supporting Actor (John Regala) and Best Director.

The Best Director win was credited to the film’s Associate Director Gary Dela Cruz, but the film’s producer and lead actor ER Ejercito gave credit to Tikoy Aguiluz.

Ejercito and Aguiluz had a falling out near the release date of the film with regards to creative control of the film. Aguiluz asked

that his name be removed from the film credits and posters.

Manila Kingpin also received trophies in the Best Screenplay (Roy Iglesias and Rey Ventura), Best Original Theme Song (“La Paloma” peformed by Ely Buendia), Best Sound Recording (Mike Idioma), Best Musical Scorer (Jessie Lazaten), Best Editing, Best Production Design and Best Cinematography (Carlo Mendoza) It marked be the second straight win for Carlo Mendoza after winning in the same category last year for the film Rosario.

Best Actor went to Dingdong Dantes for the film Segunda Mano. Maricel

Soriano won in the Best Actress category for Yesterday Today Tomorrow.

Both weren’t able to attend to receive their awards.

Best Supporting Actress went to Eugene Domingo for her performance in My Househusband. Eugene participated in two other films,

Pacquiao-Mayweather Jr still possible in 2012 THE short jail-term Floyd Mayweather Jr. is serving will not be an obstacle for a planned fight with Manny Pacquiao next year.

Moy Lainez, Pacquiao’s former chief handler, is confident the biggest fight in boxing history can still push through despite the 34-year-old Mayweather’s current legal problems.

Lainez believes money will be the main issue that will finally make a dream bout between the Filipino ring superstar and his brash American rival possible in 2012.

“I personally believe the fight will push through because of the huge amount of money involved,” said the 68-year-old boxing veteran who was part of the original Team Pacquiao along with Lito Mondejar and the late Rod Nazario, Pacquiao’s former manager.

Boxing experts, since the idea of pitting the world’s top two pound-for-pound boxers two years ago, already projected that the PacquiaoMayweather match will be the biggest and richest fight ever in the history of the sport.

Some even believe that the mega-buck bout is capable of breaching the $100 million mark owing on the large purses of the two fighters alone.

A number of stumbling blocks had kept the fight from becoming a reality, the latest of which is the 90-day sentence handed out by a Las Vegas court to Mayweather last Wednesday stemming from a misdemeanor domestic violence charges.

Lainez is not losing hope, though.

“Both sides will lose

millions if the fight will not push through,” he said.

“Even Bob Arum will lose a huge amount of money.

I am confident that Manny and Mayweather will fight in 2012.”

Mayweather will start his jail term on January 6 and is expected to be released in early April.

The jail time, according to Lainez, all the more forces Mayweather to seek a mouth-watering fight with the eight-time world champion.

“Mayweather needs a large amount of money,” he

TRIVIA Cornea---no blood supply

Kalderetang Kambing

Videoke FROM THE START Lyrics by: Rachelle An Go Endless, we’ll be together always and I will hold forever This love that we have come to know we’ll always stay In love this say until forever and a day and I will never ever change cause you are all my eyes can see it’s everlasting

Did you know that “cornea” has no blood supply?

The human eye sees everything upside down, but the brain turns it right side up, with an average field of vision encompassing a 200-degree wide angle.

Your ears and nose continue to grow throughout your entire life but your eyes are the same size from birth to death A bird’s eye takes up about 50 percent of its head; human eyes take up about 5 percentof the head.

If you go blind in one eye, you’ll loose only one-fifth of your vision, but lose all your depth perception. The only part of the human body that has no blood supply is the cornea; it takes its oxygen directly.

Ingredients: 3 lb goat meat 1 c Vinegar 2 Whole garlic bulbs 4 siling labuyo 1 lb Onions 6 oz Tomato paste 1 1/2 c water 1/2 lb Potatoes 1 Red bell pepper 1/2 lb ground beef liver 1/8 c quezo de bola 1/2 c olive oil 1 t Cooking oil 1 t vetsin Dash Red pepper 1 t Salt Cooking Kalderetang Kambing 1. You should be able to find the special ingredients at a Filipino grocery.

2. Skin and mince the garlic and combine with the vinegar in a non-reactive dish large enough to hold the goat meat

and marinate for 5 hours.

3. When marination is nearly complete, Slice the onions, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 inch cubes, and julienne the bell pepper.

4. Fryi the siling labuyo in some cooking oil; remove from pan and set aside.

5. Add more cooking oil and brown the meat.

6. Remove meat and set aside.

7. In same pan, saute one tbs garlic and onions.

8. Return meat to pan along with the tomato paste and water and simmer until the meat is tender.

9. Add the tomatoes, red pepper, beef liver, quezo de bola and the fried siling labuyo.

10. Stiri in the olive oil and season with salt, pepper and vetsin.

11. Cook for 5 more minutes.

Bridge: Promise that you’ll always love me That I will be your one and only and that you’ll hold me ‘til eternity Refrain: Say you’ll keep me in your heart Promise me, we’ll never part I can only love you so much more cause you are all I’m living for and the only thing I’d do Is to give my love to you and forever you’ll be in my heart The way I’ve always loved you from the start Hold me like you’ve never done before let me dream away my life let me spend this night away until it’s morning love me say you’ll never leave me even if tomorrow there will be no more sun to shine you’re all that matters (Repeat Bridge) (Repeat Refrain 2x)
