Charice Pempengco loses passports

Fast-rising international singing sensation Charice Pempengco unfortunately has lost important belongings to the evil Bukas Kotse Gang. It includes a Lacoste bag, mobile phones, an ATM card, keys and the passports which helped her out in travelling abroad.

Here's an excerpt of the news article courtesy of ABS-CBN News:

When robbers strike, not even the country's pride is spared. This is what international young star-singer Charice Pempengco learned the hard way after she lost her passport and other valuables to suspected Bukas Kotse Gang members while eating dinner in Calamba, Laguna Wednesday night.

Pempengco said she and her mother, Raquel, had stopped for dinner at Tuding's Restaurant in Calamba with their driver and helper. After 30 minutes, they returned to their Toyota Hi-Ace van (XGM-508) and were suprised to discover that her mom's black Lacoste bag was missing.

Pempengco said the bag contained two mobile phones (p910i and T610), passports, ATM card and the keys to their house.

She said they immediately went to a police station and reported the incident. An unidentified witness said he saw three men circling the area before the robbery.

Pempengco is now asking the public to help her recover their passports, which would allow her to continue guesting in concerts overseas. "Just please return the passports, not the cellphone or the other things but just the passports," Pempengco begged.

Pempengo has scheduled guest appearances on ABS-CBN variety show ASAP '08 this Sunday and in Wowowee on March 15 and 17.

Celebrate Love this Valentine's Day

Feel the warmth and coolness of love this Valentine's Day with these great photos:

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
The warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
And the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than...
YOU.

Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo's racist remark against Bisaya

I have just watched Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo today and yes, mayroon ngang eksena na kung saan against sina Angie (Judy Ann Santos), Jed (Ryan Agoncillo) at ang kanilang family na magsalita ng Bisaya ang kanilang anak na si Rafa (Timothy Lambert Chan).

"Bakit pinapalaki ninyong Bisaya ang apo ko?" ang tanong ng lola (Gloria Diaz)

At sumagot naman si Angie, “Speak to the kid in Tagalog. Parang Pinoy."

Nag-react agad ang isang senador (Aquilino 'Nene' Pimentel Jr) sa nasabing anti-Bisaya remark ng Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo. Ayon pa sa kanya, nakakainsulto raw ito sa mga Bisaya at dapat daw ituwid ng Star Cinema.

Para sa mga kababayan nating Bisaya, 'wag po kayong magpadala o ma-offend sa nasabing eksena sapagkat hindi naman 'yun ang nais ipakahulugan ng pelikula.

Sina Angie at Jed ay tubong Tagalog at hindi Bisaya, kaya mas nanaisin nilang unang matutunan ng kanilang anak ang salitang Tagalog.

Dahil nga sa mas madalas kausap at kasama ni Rafa ang kaniyang Bisayang yaya, mas natutunan nyang magsalita ng Bisaya.

Sa pagkakataong iyon, ang nais ipaabot na mensahe ay ang dapat pagkakaroon ng sapat na panahon ng mga magulang para sa kanilang anak. Sila mismo ang dapat nakakausap at nakakasama nang madalas sa araw-araw.

For sure, hindi nais maliitin ng pelikula ang salitang Bisaya dahil ang hangad lamang nito ay ang "mas pagkakaunawaan" ng magulang at ng kanilang anak.

Ayon pa nga kay Angie, mas gusto nyang mag-Tagalog ang kaniyang anak dahil matutunan naman daw sa school ang salitang English. Which is true naman, even for other languages as we move places here and there.

Ang ibang mga Bisaya naman ay nagpauna nang hindi big deal ang naturang 'racist remark' sapagkat it makes them even more proud of themselves. Sabi pa nga ng ilan, at least daw ang mga taga Bisaya, marunong magsalita ng tatlong languages, Bisaya, Tagalog at English kaysa sa mga Tagalog natives. O di ba?

Ang dapat pa nga sigurong pagtuunan doon ay kung pa'no pinagmukhang "jologs" ang mga Pinoy sa paningin ng mga taga-Spain at kung pa'no ginawang katatawanan ang hitsura ni Bronson sa pelikula.

Pero part na talaga yan ng pelikulang Pinoy, especially comedy films, kaya we all have nothing to worry about.

Kid gets hit by a car while crossing the street

A kid in a hurry was terribly hit by a speeding car, but he incredibly survived and managed to get up, stand on his feet and run away.

He must be a Spidey kid? or one of the mutant ninja turtles?

When Santa scares children

For kids, Christmas will never be the same without Santa Claus. But what if they get scared of Santa? Will it still be a merry Christmas? or a scary Christmas?
