Filipino tourist missing in Bali since Christmas Eve According to Oliveros, her sister met up in Bali with a Russian friend whom she worked with at a Palawan resort on the same day she left the Philippines.
A Filipino woman who came to Bali for a vacation more than two weeks ago, has been missing since Christmas Eve, the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) revealed yesterday. The woman was identified as Ella Balmaceda Paaño, according to a bulletin posted by the DFA. She left the Philippines for Bali on Dec. 22, her older sister Eden Paaño Oliveros told our sister platform, Coconuts Manila, in a phone interview today.
“Our hunch is that [the Russian friend] has something to do with our sister going missing,” Oliveros said in Filipino. Oliveros said they had been talking to her sister through video calls every day and that the last time they were in contact was on Christmas Eve. They noticed the next day that Paaño was inactive on Facebook Messenger, and she has remained inactive since. Her cellphone number cannot be contacted either. It was Paaño’s first time to travel outside the Philippines and the trip was a gift to herself to celebrate her birthday on Dec. 20, Oliveros said. Oliveros and their family approached the DFA for help on Monday. According
to the Foreign Affairs department, the Philippine Embassy in Jakarta has filed a missing person report for Paaño. If anybody on the island has heard or seen anything, please contact us at bali@coconuts.co, or her family at (+63) 9081427763 or (+63) 9125788021. (coconuts.co)

For the past few days we’ve been craving carbs; real, home-style spaghetti with creamy sauces, proper al dente textures and flavours a la Italia. Call it rainy season comfort cravings, twice-a-day work outs, extra long surf sessions or just plain and simple gluttony... but pasta has been on our minds. When a Gu Girl puts that wish out into the universe, what does the universe do? Opens up La Pasteria Bali in Umalas, answers all our unsung prayers and delivers exactly what we want and then some. Pasta for days and we aren’t even sorry! Ok so pasta isn’t exactly a new acquaintance to us by any standards, I mean, we clearly have a very loving relationship with all things edible. But La Pasteria delivers a whole new world of carbs, with everything extra fresh, all the pasta made in-house and every single recipe more original than your mama’s spaghetti. ! We started our feast, and there’s no other way of describing it, with stuffed zucchini blossoms and truffle polenta chips. Quick question: is there anything that wouldn’t taste epic with truffle oil? We’d probably eat each other, but luckily these polenta chips did the trick... for now. The signature pasta menu is a little more extra than your average pasta menu. Instead of any old spag bol you’ll find a shredded slow cooked beef pappardelle (though there is a tofu bolognaise for the cruelty-free crowd). The mozzarella stuffed meatballs served with paccheri (which is a type of pasta, for all you pasta-illiterates) had us saying twenty Hail Marys for sins committed against our waistlines, and the whole egg & ricotta ravioli is all sorts of #eggporn aka our favourite genre of... food. After a little break to discreetly undo our buttons, it was time to hit the desserts, and hit them we did - HARD. The lemon mascarpone tart is the perfect tangy balance to the sweet tiramisu, and the chocolate cream and espresso pannacotta tart... Can we have them all double please? Pair them with a double espresso, or if you’re sneaky like us, order it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream cause an affogato doesn’t ACTUALLY count as an extra dessert, amirite? " ! La Pasteria is located on Umalas I just a stone’s throw away from Jungle. Why not head there for a long Italian style dinner with the famiglia or reenact the Lady & the Tramp scene with your Tinder date.. Go with the

THE SEMINYAK WEEKLY 9 Australian Teenager Denied Entry by Indonesian Immigration Because of a Tear in her Passport The major crackdown by the Indonesian Immigration also fined airlines US$5,000 ($7,131) for each passen- ger denied entry under the new strict rule. Lexi said a customs official took one look at her two-year-old passport, which had a small tear down the spine next to the main page, and pulled her aside inside an office. As reported by Daily Mail a teen girl was blocked from entering Bali and forced to spend 11 hours in an airport before she was sent home because of a tiny tear in her passport. A tiny tear. That’s what Daily Mail re- ported. But in fact the page con- taining the personal details has been ripped of almost entirely. Lexi Karakostas, 16, flew to the Bali from Melbourne with a friend on Thursday last week but didn't get further than the immigration desk. The schoolgirl was one of dozens of Australians turned away at Denpasar Airport in recent months with only minor damage to their doc- uments.
Inside, she sat in front of an immigration official who told her she would not be allowed in to Indonesia as her passport was damaged, and instead be sent home. Lexi said she immediately burst into tears as she was alone and her friend and the friend's father who they planned to stay were not allowed in to see her. “I was hysterical, I didn't know what to do,” she said. Airport staff retrieved and searched her luggage and booked her on a plane back to Melbourne at 7.30am on Friday - 11 hours after her 8.30pm arrival. Her passport was not returned to her until

she was escorted to her seat on a Jetstar flight in the morning. Lexi's mother Susan Kara- kostas said she was shocked when her daughter called her hysterical and bawling her eyes out late at night. “I called the embassy and they said it's happened to a lot of Australians as Indone- sia appears to be cracking down on slight passport damage especially in the last month.” Karakostas said. Travelers on social media de- scribed being denied entry over minor water damage, creases, and small scratches on their passport. However, others sailed through with much worse damage, pointing to the policy being interpreted differently by individual officers. So you better check and re- place your passport with a new one if it is just slightly damaged. (SW)
10 THE SEMINYAK WEEKLY Lombok: Wife burns husband to death after row over cellphone password A Lombok man died in hospital yesterday after being set ablaze by his enraged wife, whom he allegedly struck during a violent argument on Saturday afternoon. The quarrel, which unfolded at their home in the village of Pandanwangi, East Lombok, was reportedly triggered by the husband’s refusal to share his cellphone password. The victim, identified as Dedi Purnama, 26, had been busy repairing the roof tiles of his house, when his wife, 25-year-old Ilham Cahyani, asked for the code to open his cell phone. Much to Cahyani’s frustration, Purnama refused her request and the pair began to bicker, as reported by Detiknews. Tensions increased, and an angry Purnama came down the ladder and allegedly struck his wife, sparking a physical encounter, according to Made Yogi, head of the East Lombok Police Criminal Investigation Unit. At this point, Cahyani allegedly grabbed a can of gasoline and poured it over her husband’s body before setting him ablaze with a lighter. An eyewitness, known only as “Oji,” told the paper that he ran over after seeing the incident unfold and helped extinguish the flames. The damage, however, was done.
Despite being taken to the nearby Keruak Health Center, where he was treated for two days, Purnama died as a result of the burns sustained. Police are still investigating this case, and a number of witnesses have been questioned regarding the incident. Meanwhile, Cahyani is being detained at East Lombok Regional Police Station, according to okenews. ((coconuts.co))

Your Head is Like a Sacred Temple - Protect it traditional dress, on a motorbike not to wear a helmet . In the past, many Balinese Hindu have belligerent insist- ed that male and female headwear worn to ceremonies precluded wearing motorcycle
Almost certain to draw fire from segments of the Hindu community in Bali, the head of the traffic police in the Bali- nese Regency of Ka- rangasem, Ni Luh Putu Anne Parwisti, has said there is no reason for anyone, including people traveling on motorcy- cle to and from religious cere- monies in
helmets and, therefore, Balinese should simply be exempted from traffic rules on protective head gear. Yes. This headwear can obvi- ously protect you from any harm. And it even works bet- ter in combination with honking your horn all the time. Beritabali.com reports that the policewoman in charge of traffic

enforcement and safety said the use of a crash helmet is very important to protect lives in the event of a road accident. Continuing, Parwisti said that whoever is on a mo- torcycle and no matter what their destination, be it near or far, is required to wear a helmet for the sake of their own safety. “Even if they are wear- ing traditional dress, for rea- sons of safety, they must al- ways use a helmet when driv- ing motorcycle,” said Police officer Parwisti, who is herself a native Balinese.
