CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- The boom in the country’s construction industry has be-come a big boon to this prov-ince’s coffers amid reports that its income from quarrying has reached almost P1 billion since last June alone.
The provincial environment and natural resources offi ce (PENRO) reported a total in-come of P915,810,000 from tax collections from gravel and sand quarry operations in the province.
PENRO noted that the pro-vincial government is expect-ed to be a major benefi ciary of the growth in the construc-tion industry which is projected to grow faster than the six to seven percent economic tar-get set by the government for 2013.
Construction boom a major boon to local quarry industry
PENRO cited a report from the construction market re-search fi rm BCI Asia describ-ing this year as the “birth of new construction” for the Phil-ippines with projected P1.18 trillion worth of projects which is 264 percent growth com-pared to the previous year.
It also noted projections from the Philippine Construc-tors Association Inc. (PCA) that the country’s construc-tion industry this year expects to grow eight percent or faster than the economy, with pub-lic and private sector projects seen giving the sector a boost.
The PCA, it said, noted better prospects both in the country and abroad with the construction industry growing faster than the six to seven percent economic target set by the government for 2013.
“Moreover, it is expected
that public construction will continue to boost the sector in the next three years as the DPWH’s rally will be sustained to garner more than P600-bil-lion capital outlays by the end of 2016,” the PCA report said.
Pampanga is a major source of quality sand for con-struction nationwide.
“The provincial govern-ment’s income from quarrying since June covered sand and gravel fees, weighing scale fees, anti-overloading fees and accreditation of other ve-hicles,” PENRO said.
Gov. Lilia Pineda set a tar-get of P3 billion for quarry in-come for her second three-year term.
PENRO offi cials said it is fi nding ways to further improve quarrying operations and its system of collecting quarry fees.

ANGELES CITY -- The pro-vincial government of Tarlac has called off its scheduled Christmas party next month and instead donate funds allocated for it to victims of Typhoon Yolanda in the Vi-sayas.
“This is a show of soli-darity to our kababayans in Regions 6, 7, and 8. We are donating the money to them as a way of doing our share in the rebuilding of the lives of the survivors of Typhoon Yolanda,” Tarlac Gov. Victor Yap said in a statement.
This is apart from the pro-vincial government’s “Tawid Tulong Visayas” project that involved local folk who were vic-tims of the recent Typhoon Santi also donating relief goods for Yolanda victims.
“I hope that in our own little way, we would be able to ease the suffering of our kababayans there specially this holiday season,” Yap said.
Tarlac is Pres. Aquino’s home province. Both his father, the late Sen. Benigno Aquino and mother, former Pres. Cora-zon Aquino, were natives of Tarlac. –Ding Cervantes

LUNGSOD NG MALOLOS—Nakipagsabayan ang mga Bulakenyo sa mayayamang bansa sa pagbibigay ng mga donasyong pera at gamit sa mga nasalanta ng bagyong Yolanda sa mga lalawigan ng Samar at Leyte.
Tampok dito ang pag-ii-pon ng SM Supermalls ng P100-million calamity fund, pagpapadala ng Kapitolyo ng mahigit 100 katao upang tu-mulong, bukod pa sa pag-ii-pon ng mga donasyon na tinu-gon maging ng mga mag-aaral at pahayagang pampaaralan.
Hindi rin nagpaiwan ang il-ang mamamahayag sa lalaw-igan sa pagpapahatid ng tu-long sa mga kaibigang mam-amahayag sa Samar.
Samantala, tuluyan nang tumulak noong Sabado, Nobyembre 23 patungong Sa-mar at Leyte ang mahigit 100 kataong delegasyon ng Bula-
Tulong ng Bulacan ipinahatid na sa Samarcan.
Ito ay matapos maantala ang biyahe na unang itinakda noong Nobyembre 19 at muli noong Nobyembre 21.
Ayon kay Gob. Wilhelmino Alvarado ang pagpapahahatid ng delegasyon ng lalawigan ay bilang bahagi ng pag-ayu-da para sa mas mabilis na pagbangon ng mga biktima ng bagyo.
“Kapag tayo ang tinamaan ng kalamidad, tayo ang kanil-ang tinutulungan, ngayon ay pagkakataon natin na ibalik ang pabor,” sabi ng goberna-dor.
Ang delegasyon ng Bula-can ay binubuo ng mga duk-tor,narses at mga piling res-cue group sa lalawigan ng Bu-lacan.
Sila ay mananatili sa Sa-mar at Leyte sa loob ng isa hanggang dalawang linggo.
Ayon kay Provincial Ad-ministrator Jim Valerio, ang delegasyon ng Bulacan ay
hindi aasa sa mga pupuntah-ang bayan.
Ito ay nangangahulugan na kasama sa paghahatid ng tulong ng lalawigan ay ang mga gagamiting gamot, kag-amitan at mga pagkain at in-umin ng mga bumbuo ng del-egasyon.
Ayon kay Valerio, 10 trak at limang ambulansiya ang ipinadala ng Bulacan sa Sa-mar at Leyte.
Bukod dito, may dala na ring krudo at gasolina ang del-egasyon na gagamitin sa mga sasakyan.
Sa pagtulak ng delegasyon ng lalawigan, kasamana rin nilang ihahatid ang mga do-nasyong sinimulang inipon mula noong Nobyembre 23.
Ngunit ayon kay Valerio, magpapatuloy ang Kapitolyo sa pagtanggap ng donasyon hanggang Nobyembre.
Ang panawagan ng Kap-itolyo para sa mga donasyon ay tinugon ng mga pamaha-
laang lokal sa lalawigan, mag-ing ng mga pribadong Bulak-enyo at mga samahan. Kasa-ma rito ang Christiaan Brother International (CBI) na binubuo ng mga mag-aaral ng Bulacan State University (BulSU).
Maging ang mga bumubuo ng The Communique, ang opisyal na pahayag ng Bul-SU College of Arts and Let-
ters ay nag-ipon din ng mga donasyon ay inihaatid sa Ka-pitolyo.
Samantala, inihayag ng SM City Supermalls na nag-ii-pon din sila ng mga donasyon para ihatid sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo. Sa opisyal na paha-yag sinabi, nito na mag-iipon sila ng calamity fund na uma-abot sa P100 milyon.

CLARK FREEPORT – All roads led to SM City Clark last Saturday for the second Pyro-fest Competition causing traf-fi c snarls from all directions leading to the event site.
Just before 7 p.m. for the scheduled start of the fi re-works competition, bumper-to-bumper traffi c was ob-
Traffi c snarls, mammoth crowd mark 2nd SM Clark Pyrofest Competition
served from Puregold Dau in Mabalacat City from the north all the way to SM City Clark as well as from the Abacan Bridge in Angeles City from the south.
The main Roxas Highway here was also choked with vehicles making a U-turn to SM. Due to the heavy traf-fi c, people parked their vehi-cles along the road and just
walked to SM.A huge crowd quickly gath-
ered at the back of SM City Clark where the audience had a better view of the fi re-works competition at the new-ly-opened area dubbed The Meeting Place.
The series of spectacu-lar fi rework exhibitions saw competitors including pro-vincial delegates and profes-
sional pyrotechnic artists from Batangas, Laguna, Bulacan, Bacolod, Cebu, General San-tos, Cotabato, and Oroquie-ta City and exhibition shows from Singapore and Malaysia.
The second day of the Py-rofest competition is set on Nov. 30 which will coincide with the celebration of Ange-les City’s annual Mardi Gras festival popularly known as
“Tigtigan Terakan Keng Dalan (Music and Dancing on the Street) held along the MacAr-thur Highway in Barangay Balibago.
SM City Clark said in a statement that over half a mil-lion peso worth of prizes will be given away to the winners of the 2nd Pyrofest Competi-tion which will be announced on Nov. 30.
Passengers from North Luzon celebrate with CEB on its 5th year of fl ying direct from Clark to various domestic and international destinations.
THE PHILIPPINES’ lead-ing airline, Cebu Pacifi c Air (PSE:CEB) will launch di-rect fl ights from Manila to To-kyo (Narita) and to Nagoya on March 30, 2014. CEB will be the fi rst Philippine low-cost carrier to offer direct fl ights be-tween Manila and these two key Japanese cities.
CEB currently operates thrice weekly fl ights from Ma-nila to Osaka. It is slated to more than double its fl ight fre-quency to Osaka, when it be-gins fl ying daily Manila-Osa-ka-Manila fl ights on December 20, 2013. The additional four weekly fl ights translate to a 133% seat capacity increase.
“With Cebu Pacifi c’s trade-mark lowest fares, travelers from Japan now have Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka as jump-off points when exploring the Philippines’ world-renowned beach and diving destina-tions. This is very much in line with the government’s tour-ism agenda, and the airline’s commitment to boost Philip-
CebPac expands Japan operations with Tokyo, Nagoya fl ightspine tourism,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.
“With more fl ights to the Philippines, we believe Japan has the potential to be as big as South Korea when it comes to foreign tourist arrivals,” she added.
CEB will launch daily ser-vices to Tokyo (Narita), uti-lizing the airline’s brand-new Airbus A320 fl eet. The maid-en fl ight will depart Manila at 5:25am, arriving in Tokyo at 10:35am. The return fl ight de-parts Tokyo at 11:45am, and arrives in Manila at 3:45pm.
On the same day, CEB is set to launch its Manila-Na-goya-Manila service, with a Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday frequency. De-parting Manila at 3:20pm, the maiden fl ight will arrive in Na-goya at 8:25pm. The return fl ight will depart Nagoya at 9:10pm, and arrive in Manila at 12:10am the next day.
To launch CEB’s newest in-ternational destinations, CEB
holds an introductory P2,488 seat sale from Manila to Tokyo or Nagoya, from November 22 to 24, 2013 or until seats last. Travel period is from March 30 to September 30, 2014.
Quoted fares are exclu-sive of government taxes and fuel surcharges. After the seat sale, lowest year-round fares start at P5,499. CEB fares to Nagoya and Narita are up to 60% lower than other full-ser-vice airlines.
For bookings and inquiries, guests can go to http://www.cebupacifi cair.com/, or call the reservation hotlines (02)7020-888 or (032)230-8888. The latest seat sales can also be found on CEB’s offi cial Twitter (@cebupacifi cair) and Face-book pages.
“We are proud to offer more low-fare great-value options to and from Japan, for the benefi t of leisure and business travel-lers, as well as overseas Fili-pino workers based there. We continue fl ying to where Filipi-nos are,” Iyog said.
Aside from Tokyo, Na-goya and Osaka, CEB offers fl ights to 21 other internation-al destinations, namely Bali, Bangkok, Beijing, Brunei, Bu-san, Dubai, Guangzhou, Ha-noi, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong, Incheon (Seoul), Jakarta, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Ma-cau, Phuket, Shanghai, Siem Reap, Singapore, Taipei and Xiamen. It also operates the most extensive network in the Philippines with destinations such as Boracay, Palawan and Coron.
CEB’s 47-strong fl eet is comprised of 10 Airbus A319, 27 Airbus A320, 2 Airbus A330 and 8 ATR-72 500 aircraft.

Epic failNINETEEN JOURNALISTS killed during the presidency of BS Aquino III. Data from the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility hold.
That is three short of the 23 recorded by the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines – 16 radio broadcasters and seven print journalists.
Whichever, obtains there is what an NUJP statement calls “a trail of blood redder, thicker, and worse compared to the number of work-related media murders per year under four other presidents before him.” The single wholesale slaughter of 32 media workers in the Ampatuan Massacre, an exception.
“There is a simple explanation to call [BS Aquino] the country’s “Impunity King”: He allows the perpetuation of the culture of impunity as he has not done anything to end it. This is the main reason why the killings and harassment of journalists continue.” Said a pooled editorial prepared by various media groups in commemoration of the fourth anniversary of the Ampatuan Massacre.
To which the Honorable Herminio B. Coloma Jr, secretary of the Presidential Communications Operations Offi ce, retorted: “We want to erase the stigma of a culture of impunity. And that is one of the important reasons why the President asked for the people’s mandate, to erase this culture of impunity. Perhaps it will be just to say that at present, that no longer exists.”
Ever on denial mode, in keeping with the character of his boss, this Coloma.
“Let us look at the defi nition of the word ‘impunity.’ The word impunity means abuses that go unchecked, authorities do not oppose these and do not take enough measures to stop crime.” So he was translated as saying in Filipino.
Rhetorically now: “Is it right to say this about the current administration? If we recall, that is one of the platforms of our President when he ran for offi ce: to restore justice in our country and that is one of the reasons why our citizens trusted him.”
And failing there – most dismally. That is one of the reasons why our citizens lost their trust in him.
A voice most ungodly“TODAY IS a historic moment, if only because for the fi rst time, this was approved at the committee level.”
So declared Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Neri Colmenares of November 20, 2013, the day the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill (APDB) was approved – unanimously – by the House committee on suffrage and electoral reforms.
A consolidation of three bills, the approved measure seeks to prohibit relatives up to the second degree of consanguinity to hold or run for both national and local offi ce in “successive, simultaneous, or overlapping terms.”
It also provides for the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to decide through lottery who in the clan would be permitted to run in the election in case none of the candidates in the same family refuses to withdraw.
The fi rst attempt to legislate a solution to what has been deemed the scourge of Philippine politics was 18 years ago, a fact all too clear to those who are now ecstatic over the passage of the bill, if only at the committee level.
“The State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defi ned by law.” So it is enshrined in Article II Section 26 of the 1987 Constitution.
All attempts to just cobble an enabling law, aborted at their very conception, the legislative bodies as much dynastic in their composition as the other layers of government.
So what difference will it make this time?“Power, both economic and political should
not be held by just a few. We need to give a chance to others who are equally capable but do not have the opportunity.”
So spake eloquently Senator JV Ejercito, author of the Senate version of the APDB, his motives readily suspect given his being a dynast himself: son of the deposed, convicted, pardoned President Joseph Estrada, now mayor of Manila, and former actress Guia Gomez, now mayor of San Juan; half-brother to Senator Jinggoy Estrada and uncle to the latter’s daughter, San Juan Councilor Janella Ejercito Estrada; cousin to Laguna Governor ER Ejercito and Quezon Province Board Member Gary Estrada.
Matter-of-factly thus, JV conceded that passing an anti-political dynasty law “may not be an easy legislative task.”
“I’d like to make a stand as me because I’m after all the leader of everybody here and I want to be as hands off as possible and not try to push anybody. I’m in favor of it...I’m in favor of it if only because the Constitution says it.”
Circuitous locution on the APDB there from House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. constrained as he is with a dynasty of his own: only daughter Josefi na aka Joy is the incumbent vice mayor of Quezon City, nephew Jose Christopher aka Kit is the city’s 6th district representative.
“I want to put it on record that if there’s, let’s say, a situation where it’s either she or me, I will yield...Let the youth take over.”
That situation’s long time passing, Sir. “I believe (APDB) will experience rough
sailing but you know, Rome wasn’t built in a day. We have already put up a big stone. It already passed in the committee level and I think that is something to be happy about but it’s still a long way.”
Belmonte dishing out a consuelo de bobo. Senator Nancy Binay though takes to
a different application of the anti-dynasty measure. Rather than family members in elective positions – being there by the sovereign will of the people and divine grace, it is those in appointive positions – merely serving at the pleasure of the powers-that-be, that should be subjected to the anti-dynasty scrutiny.
Binay says: “Dapat mas bantayan natin yung appointing members of one family in key and high positions of government.” A not-so-cloaked reference to the Abads in positions of power -- Budget Secretary Butch Abad whose daughter Julia is head of the Presidential Management Staff. Not to mention his wife, Henedina representing the lone district of tiny Batanes but reportedly getting more priority development assistance funds than House Speaker Belmonte.
No hypocritical civility but in-your-face bluntness becomes Binay when, invoking the supreme law of the land, she argued the APDB “may limit what the Constitution says about who can run.”
Articulating thus: “…if the person is elected then that is already the voice of the people. And what is the constitution about but the voice of the people. So why deprive the people of their voice.”
And went a step higher to lay her case before the supreme being: “It may also go against the principle of vox populi, vox Dei.”
The voice of Makati, most precisely, given the premier city’s being a Binay fi efdom since the Marcos ouster, breeding the current Vice President of the Philippines who was many times city mayor, his wife who was once mayor, his son who is current mayor, his other daughter who is representative of the city’s second district and this senator daughter.
Ganyan sila sa Makati, ganyan din sa buong Pilipinas.
A matter of vox Makatii, vox dei there to me. As the voice of the people Binay referred to may well be the voice – not of God – but of their gods. Their god of goons, their lord of numbers, their lord of celluloid illusion, at one time their glorious goddess of the tapes, and of currency, the almighty epal.Hear then this caveat all the way out of the 8th
century from the English scholar and theologian Alcuin: “And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.”Yeah, most fi tting to the Philippine praxis of democrazy.

“This (awarding) is a kick-off program of activities in our full implementation of new la-bor law compliance system
Mekeni leads 10 otherfi rms in DOLE awards
that we are usually conduct-ing based on the enforcement power of DOLE,” Agravante said during the awarding cer-emonies.
TCCLS is one of the most coveted certifi cations by any company as it acknowledg-es voluntary compliance with standards on general labor, occupational safety, health and child labor.
Part of the incentives in the TCCLS certifi cation is a three-year exemption from manda-tory inspections and eligibility to win higher recognition such as the DOLE Secretary’s La-bor Law Compliance Award and the Tripartite Seal of Ex-cellence to be given in Mala-canang, Agravante said.
Agravante noted that Me-keni complied with necessary standards per evaluation of the committee “especially on health and safety being in the food industry”.
Mekeni was founded by couple Felix and Meding Garcia as a backyard toci-no business in Balubad, Po-rac in 1986. It now employs more than 1,000 workers and has been conferred various awards and certifi cations from various government agencies, local and international private fi rms.
Its recent awards include the Platinum Award of Total Quality Leadership conferred by Business Initiative Direc-tions in Frankfurt, Germany.
DOLE noted that Mekeni is the very fi rst Asian and Philip-pine meat plant to have been certifi ed with the highest stan-dards in hotdog processing. It is the fi rst in Asia and the Philippines and second in the world to get the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) or ISO 22000 in 2006.
Recently, it was also cer-tifi ed as the fi rst Philippine meat processing company to have obtained the Food Safety System Certifi cation (FSSC) 22000, the latest and integrated standard on food safety and quality. FSSC cov-ers many of the most com-prehensive existing food and safety standards and pro-gram requirements because of the full integration of ISO 22000.
This certifi cation covers its hotdog line and marinated products, making Mekeni’s to-cino as the fi rst and only tocino that is ISO certifi ed.
Of the 11 awardees, only Mekeni, International Wiring Systems Phils, and Subic En-erzone qualify for the SLLCA and TSE awards.

Robert Serrano, president of the Maba-lacat Tribal Association (MATA) and Joey P. Tan-glao, trustee of the Bam-ban Tribal Association (BATA), accused the le-gal counsel of NCIP-Tar-lac yesterday of conniv-ing with the CDC in an election held on Novem-ber 23 to remove them from offi ce even as they questioned the propriety of the CDC project.
The election for MATA and BATA was set by NCIP-Tarlac legal of-fi cer Roland Calde in a memorandum dated Nov 6 and was held at the Marcos Village Elemen-tary School in Mabalacat
Trouble at Clark FreeportCity.
In the November 23 elections, Larry Lingay was elected MATA pres-ident while Oscar Rivera was elected BATA pres-ident.
Non-member of tribeBut Ruvielane Mar-
garito, Aeta tribal chief-tain, said the just con-cluded election was il-legal and the winners were known lackeys of the CDC. She said Lin-gay is a Baptist pastor from Zambales and not a member of their tribe even if he is now resid-ing in Barangay Kalangi-tan, Capas, Tarlac while Rivera is the signato-ry of the “onerous” Joint Management Agreement
(JMA) with CDC.Then Pampanga 1st
District Rep. Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin has la-beled the JMA as oner-ous because of its pro-vision of an 80-20 shar-ing scheme in favor of CDC and at the expense of the Aeta tribes whom the solon called “the real owners oif the land.”
‘Hakot’Margarita also ac-
cused the CDC of “ha-kot (bringing in voters)” coming from Barangay Sapang Bato, Angeles City and other areas in the elections who are not members of their tribes.
In a letter to NCIP Region III Director Ron-aldo M. Daquioag, MATA
and BATA deplored Cal-de for his alleged “intru-sion” into their affairs. The letter dated Nov. 6 was signed by Serrano as MATA president and Danilo R. Adrias as BATA president.
The two Aeta associ-ations questioned the le-gality of Calde calling for an election for their two associations when “atin kami sariling by-laws (we have our own constitu-tion and by-laws).”
Serrano said they still have several more years before their term expires as provided in their char-ter.
The two tribal associ-ations are now calling for the cancellation of the JMA between the CDC
and their associations regarding the use of their ancestral domain.
“Paglokwan dakami (They are making fools of us),” Serrano said.
‘Landgrab’Margarito said only
two hectares of their an-cestral domain was in-cluded in the memo-randum of agreement (MOA) it had with CDC when the BB Internation-al Resort and Develop-ment Corp. (BBI), which had a contract with CDC, occupies 44 hectares of their ancestral domain. She said only the two hectares has a Free Pri-or and Informed Consent (FPIC) with their asso-ciations as provided by
the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA).
“This is virtually land-grabbing of our ancestral domain,” she said.
The cancellation of the JMA will imperil the ongoing construction of the P2.5 billion Clark Val-ley View Leisure and Re-sort of the BBI.
According to Mar-garito, the CDC signed a leased contract with BBI in September 2006 for 121 hectares. On July 26, 2007, the CDC obtained a FPIC for two hectares of the 44 hect-ares covered by the lease contract.
She said the NCIP certifi cate of compliance was released on July 12, 2007.

Chopper with relief goods crashes...FROM PAGE 1 sued a mayday alert to
Villamor Air Base before it crashed.
The helicopter’s pilot and co-pilot who were not immediately iden-tifi ed were reported to have been helped by lo-cal fi shermen who saw the chopper crash. The
two were later fl own by the US Marines to Villa-mor.
The source said the US Marines Corps led by Maj. Jason Kaufmann on board a C-130 fl ew to the accident site to res-cue operations in Manila Bay instead of immedi-
ately landing at Villamor following a humanitarian sortie to Tacloban City.
The US aircraft was able to locate the crashed chopper some four kilometers from the shores of Hagonoy, but it’s pilot and co-pilot were already ashore.

“We call on the Su-preme Court to delegate a special court exclu-sively for the Ampatuan massacre that can con-duct daily hearings with full media coverage,” said NUJP-Pampanga chairman Ashley Mana-bat.
For his part, Fred Vil-lareal, vice chair of the NUJP- Pampanga urged that the case be resolved by the end of Pres. Aqui-no’s term in 2016.
Manabat noted that
“it has been four years since 58 people, includ-ing 32 journalists, were brutally killed by a pow-erful clan in Maguindan-ao but not one has been convicted. The same is true in other murders of mediamen in the coun-try.”
“What is worse is that the culture of impuni-ty seems to reign even more strongly even as we reel from the devas-tation of typhoon Yolan-da,” he said.
He noted that “the
pork barrel scandal and reports of government neglect, politicking, law-lessness, continuing hunger in the devastated lands, and the fudging of the casualty count in the Visayas make for a richer ground for the cul-ture of impunity.”
“Let us not forget,” he appealed to the media, even as they vowed to continue marking the an-niversary of the Ampatu-an massacre even after the case is resolved.

Kalbo tinubuan ng buhok
MARAMI ang nagulat sa singer/songwriter/TV host na si Abby Asistio nang dumalo ito sa press launch ng Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion dahil may tumutubo nang buhok sa kanyang ulo.
Abby is the daughter of former actress Veronica Jones na kapatid ni Jacklyn Jose. Pinsan niya bale si Andi Eigenmann at open book naman na ang ama niya ay ang dating mayor ng Caloocan na si Boy Asistio
Sa showbiz, open book din na may sakit si Abby na alopecia na ang ibig sabihin ay “hair loss or baldness”. Four years old lang siya nang dapuan ng nasabing sakit kaya nakagisnan na nga namin siyang kalbo and in fairness, bagay sa kanya.
Last March lang nagsimulang gamitin ni Abby ang Novuhair at ang bilis ng epekto nito dahil may buhok na siya ngayon na simula nang bata siya ay hindi niya naranasan.
“Ikinahiya ko po talaga ’yung kakulangan (ng buhok) na ’yun na hindi ko po pinapakita kaya po ako nagsusumbrero at nagwi-wig while growing-up,” pagre-recall ni Abby sa entertainment press at the Novuhair’s press launch.
“Pero last year po, napagdesisyunan ko na hindi ’yun hadlang sa anuman ang gusto kong gawin sa buhay na ibig sabihin, I’m less than everyone because I don’t have hair.”
Ayon pa kay Abby, talagang inakala niya na hopeless na ang kaso niya at forever na siyang magiging kalbo kaya nga ini-imagine na niya na kapag ikinasal siya someday, naka-wig din siya.
“Kaya nu’ng nasimulan kong gamitin ’yung Novuhair, sa totoo lang po, I really had no expectations. Ginamit ko po offi cially March (2013) kasi December ako kinausap ng mga taga-Novuhair so March lang ako nag-start hanggang ngayon ginagamit ko po at heto, may buhok na ako after fi ve (5) months,” masayang kuwento ni Abby.
Well, bilang bagong brand Ambasador ng Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion: Nature’s answer to hair loss, masasabi naming perfect na perfect si Abby to endorse the product dahil mismong sa kanya ay epektibo ito. Kung baga, siya ang living testimony kung gaano kahusay ang nasabing produkto.
Cristine Reyes pahinga muna ang lovelife
GAME NA GAME si Cristine Reyes sa lahat ng mai-intrigang tanong sa promo ng “When the Love Has Gone” mula sa Viva Films na ipalalabas na sa Nov. 27.
May mga nagsasabing “put on” lang ang lahat ng saya at kilos niya dahil malaking bahagi ng pelikula ay nakasalalay sa kanya. Isa siya sa major cast ng pelikulang itinuturing na pinaka-dramatic love story ever produced by Viva Films.
“Totoong masaya ako, dahil, naayos ko ang buhay ko para masiguro kong walang mawawala sa akin. Kung mayroon man, hindi naman tuluyan dahil nananatili kaming magkaibigan pa rin. Hindi man as lovers, okey na ‘yung maging best of friends. At least, magkasama pa rin kami lagi.”
Tinutukoy siyempre ni Cristine ay si Derek Ramsay na naging boyfriend niya for only a month ba?“At naniniwala ako sa forever!” patuloy niya. “Kung
hindi forever ang pagiging lovers namin, at least, may pag-asang maging forever ang friendship namin.”
Samantala, pahinga muna si Cristine sa lovelife. Pero, hindi raw nangangahulugan na hindi na siya magmamahal uli. “Habang tumitibok ang puso ko, may pag-asang magkaroon,” aniya, sabay halakhak.

Sharon Cuneta maramipa ring blessings
AMINADO RAW si Sharon Cuneta sa hindi na
siya ganun ka-popular. In short laos na si Sharon Cuneta.
Nevertheless, she’s so composed and humble by saying so.
She believes that things happen and acceptance is the best way to face it.
Still, Sharon is a megastar in many ways. Her big donation (P10M) for the Yolanda victims could very well speak for the tag.
No wonder why she is still blessed. Meanwhile, in her show, Madam Chairman on TV5, her guests this week include Paolo Paraiso, Vince Hizon, Bal David, Jayvee Gayoso and 3 other PBA legends. In this week’s episode, Bebeth (Sharon Cuneta) deals with.
Actually, blessed pa rin naman si Sharon. May magandang kapalit ang car
accident na nangyari sa kanya a few days ago. Binangga ang van na sinasakyan ni
Mega at sumabog pa ang gulong, pero thankful ito na walang nasaktan sa mga sakay ng
dalawang sasakyan.Ang binanggit naming magandang
kapalit ng aksidente ni Sharon ay ang pagkaka-extend ng show niyang Madam Chairman, isa sa two shows niya sa TV5, the other one is The Mega and The Songwriter nila ni Ogie Alcasid.
Tweet nito: “Happy to announce that because you have made Madam Chairman such a success, TV5 has extended our run for another 7 weeks. Thank you from the bottom of all our @tv5madamhearts! We love you!”
Sa interview kay Sharon, nabanggit na mahal na mahal niya ang Madam Chairman at kung siya lang ang masusunod, gusto niyang
forever na itong umere. At kung alam lang daw niyang masaya itong gawin,
sana 20 years ago ay ginawa na niya.Cristine Reyes
