Smoking Photo Nina Nora Aunor at Anne Curtis, Binatikos


Dalawang pamosong aktres na ang kinukondena ng Philippime Medical Association (PMA) hinggil sa pagpapakuuha nila ng larawang may hawak-hawak na sigarilyo. Naunang pinuna ang litrato ng Superstar na si Nora Aunor na lumabas sa Yes! Magazine. Sumunod na binatikos ay ang "Anne-bisyosa" at "No Other Woman" na si Anne Curtis na may hawak ding sigarilyo sa Rogue Magazine.


May karapatan ang PMA na batikusin ang mga aktres na ito dahil iniidolo sila ng maraming tagahanga. Maling senyales nga naman na ipakitang "cool" ang paninigarilyo dahil sa masamang epekto nito sa kalusugan.

Ang puna ko lang, bakit walang bumabatikos sa mga gobyerno ng lahat ng bansa laban sa pagbebenta ng sigarilyo gayong bukas naman sa mga mata nila ang masamang epekto nito sa mga mamamayan.? Ang sagot? Ang sigarilyo kasi ang isa sa pangunahing kinukuhanan ng buwis ng mga gobyerno. Sa gobyerno ngayon sa Pilipinas, mas malabong ipagbawal ng pangulo ang paninigarilyo at ang sigarilyo mismo dahil siya mismo ay naninigarilyo.

Ngiti Mula Sa Isang Bungi


My entry to Isang Minutong Smile...

Magbibigay ako ng ngiti, 

      kahit ako ay bungi,

Ipagmamalaki ang lahi 
      at hindi mangingimi;


Pasasayahin si Totoy
      at maging si Nene,


Tuturuang sumaya 
     kahit may kirot sa labi.

Salamat sa mabubuting sponsors ng SMILE Quotes Contest : Field of DreamsAlohagems on SquidooISP101 at from the dungeOn.

SARAO JEEPNEY For SALE


Sa mga Pinoy, kung bibili ng jeepney ay laging SARAO ang nangunguna sa kanilang listahan. Ito ay dahil sa tibay at porma ng gawang Sarao. Noong 1986, nagkaroon na ako ng Sarao Jeep, P150,000 hulugan. Sa ngayon, nagbabalak akong bumili muli kaya lang wala pang pondo.

Sa ngayon ay gumagawa pa rin ng mga jeepney ang Sarao. Tunghayan natin ang mga jeepney na gawang Sarao:

Ang Bagsik ng Bagyong Pedring

Sinalanta ng Bagyong Pedring ang lahat halos ng bayan ng Luzon ngayong araw na ito, ika-27 ng Setyembre 2011. Humigit kumulang sa 15 na ang mga namatay na ang karamihan ay sanhi ng pagdangan sa kanila ng puno o nabuwal na pader. Tunghayan ang bagsik ng Bagyong Pedring :

Navotas

Agham Road, Quezon City

Roxas Boulevard, Manila

Mall Of Asia, Pasay City

US Embassy, Manila

Dahil na rin sa maagang paghahanda ng mga residente at pamahalaan-lokal, naiwasan ang mas matinding pinsala sa kabuhayan at buhay.

Anne Curtis, "Anne-bisyosa"


Angkop na angkop ang pamagat ng CD ni Anne Curtis na "Annebisyosa" dahil kitang-kita naman kung paano niya ambisyoning umawit at makagawa ng CD (compact disc) o solo album kahit hindi naman gaanong kaayaaya ang kanyang tinig. Hindi rin maganda ang aking boses at hindi ako nanlalait subali't may karapatan naman akong magbigay ng aking opinyon base sa aking naririnig. 

Sa aking pandinig, tila pinipirasong yero ang boses ni Anne. Madalas ay sablay at hindi maabot ang nota. Kaya nga siguro pinamagatan niyang "Annebisyosa" ang kanyang CD dahil iyon ay naglalarawan ng katotohanan. Sa Pilipinas Got Talent noong Linggo, ika-25 ng Setyembre 2011, muling ipinarinig ni Anne ang kanyang makaalis-tutuling boses. Kung wala pang backup singers ay baka lalong nagwala ang magandang aktres. Magkagayunman, bilib din ako sa fighting spirit ni Miss Curtis. Talagang palaban siya. Kahit na nga nao-okray siya nina Vhong Navarro at Vice Ganda sa Showtime ay sige pa rin ang kanyang birit.

Siya, kayo na ang humusga kung may K ba itong si Anne na maging ambisyosang mang-aawit!

The Legacy of Martial Law in the Philippines

On 21 September 1972, President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed Proclamation 1081 and declared the Philippine under Martial Law. The imposition of military rule is "to save the Republic and form a new society." I was in Grade 6 when this happened. As a child, we did not mind about it although we had to plant vegetables in school in line with the Green Revolution project of the government. We had to memorize and sing "Bagong Lipunan" song right after the Lupang Hinirang. The song was written by National Artist  Felipe Padilla De Leon and went like this:


Bagong Lipunan
May bagong silang,
May bago nang buhay,
Bagong bansa,
Bagong galaw,
Sa Bagong Lipunan.
Magbabago ang lahat,
Tungo sa pag-unlad,
at ating itanghal,
Bagong lipunan!
Victims of the Martial Law will disagree with me but it seemed peaceful and quiet during that time. As a child, we did not mind the curfew. The only time I joined a protest rally was when the Education Act of 1981 was being considered. This Act will put the University of the Philippines under the Ministry of Education which many UP students strongly opposed.
However, here are the positive legacy of the Martial Law:

Cultural Center of the Philippines
Folk Arts Theater of the Philippines

GSIS Building

Product Development & Design Center of the Philippines

Philippine International Convention Center (PICC)
