Kris Aquino Defends PNoy


Kris Aquino on Monday night broke her silence over her brother's criticism of ABS-CBN News anchor Noli "Kabayan" de Castro and other Filipino journalists during the 25th anniversary party of "TV Patrol." 

Kris Aquino, the younger sister of President Benigno "PNoy" Aquino, who happens to be Noli De Castro's co-employee at ABS-CBN, tweet her answer to a twitter user who said that you never attack media back.


Here are the screen captures of the said Twitter conversation:
 
She said she is careful in commenting about the issue. "Prayed before I replied to make sure I don't tweet the wrong thing. My issues are so trivial in comparison to PNoy," Kris said. 
 "PNoy is our president and I do believe the majority of our people feel he's doing a great job. Maybe he just like anybody else," she added.
Kris said on Twitter that her brother has the right to defend himself and express his opinion. Freedom of speech is a 2-way street right? quips Kris Aquino on Twitter.

Her brother on Friday night lashed out at de Castro and Philippine media for alleged bias toward negative news reports. Aquino, in his speech at the 25th anniversary celebration of TV Patrol at the Manila Hotel, said he wants a positive spin in news stories and commentaries from ABS-CBN's flagship primetime news broadcast.

The president specifically vented his ire on de Castro, a veteran TV Patrol anchor and former a vice president of then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, for allegedly belitting the gains made by his administration with regard to the sorry state of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1.

Aquino also said he was unhappy over criticisms on TV Patrol regarding the National Bureau of Investigation's recovery of a kidnapped child last June 26. 

"May naitutulong po ba ang mga walang-basehang spekulasyon, lalo na kung lumalabas ka sa telebisyon at sinusubaybayan ng sambayanan? Kung nagbabangkaaan lang tayo sa kanto, hindi problema ang mga walang-basehang patutsada. Pero kung alam mong opinion maker ka, alam mo rin dapat na meron kang responsibilidad. Sana po, sa tuwing sasabihin nating 'magandang gabi, bayan,' ay totoong hinahangad nating maging maganda ang gabi ng bayan," he said.

De Castro has yet to comment on Aquino's statements. Ging Reyes, head of ABS-CBN's News and Current Affairs Division (NCAD), said: "Criticism is not a monopoly of journalists and media practitioners. The President had as much right to free speech as every citizen. Ang aming mga mamahayag ay may editorial independence, o kalayaan sa kanilang pagkalap ng balita at paglalahad ng istorya," Reyes said on TV Patrol Monday. "Ito ang pundasyon ng kredibilidad. Sa mga pagkakataong kinukwestyon ang aming pagiging patas at balanse, mayroon kaming sistema para tugunan ang ganitong reklamo ng manonood," she added.

TAX For Online Traders and Entrepreneurs



Attention: Online traders and entrepreneurs

The Bureau of Internal Revenue will start going after those who fail to issue electronic invoices to customers this year.

Commissioner Kim Jacinto-Henares told reporters that online businesses, such as the following:
  • sulit.com.ph
  • e-bay Philippines
  • alibaba.com
  • ayosdito.ph 
  • multiply.com 
These are just sample businesses that need to be registered with the BIR and should be paying the corresponding taxes.

The tax will cover even those entrepreneurs who use their personal Facebook accounts for business transactions.

"They are all bound by the law to comply with the invoicing requirement. Under the rules, online sellers shall be registered as such to the BIR, and that their electronic invoicing shall likewise be registered either directly to us or a third-party accredited by us", quips BIR Commissioner Kim Jacinto-Henares

The electronic invoicing could be availed of through a third party, but such third-party shall be accredited by the BIR. Meaning, private parties could participate and get the necessary accreditation from BIR.

Citing Section 237 of the National Internal Revenue Code, the BIR chief said the bureau need not issue a revenue regulation to implement the law requiring the issuance of receipts and sales invoices for online transactions as well as penalties for non-compliance.

SODERNO: Ultimate Taste Test


SODERNO: Ultimate Taste Test

From its humble beginnings as a ‘taste test’ among friends and neighbors, the Ultimate Taste Test has become a sold-out event drawing in thousands of foodies eager to try the latest food discoveries.

“Many home-based cooks and up-and-coming chefs would send me their dishes and asked if I could review their dishes on my blog. But I just eat all of those food samples!” recounts Anton Diaz, the popular food and travel blogger behind. www.OurAwesomePlanet.com

“Instead of eating all those samples, I thought not only of sharing these dishes with my readers but also giving them an opportunity to rate these dishes as well. That was how the Ultimate Taste Test was born.”

“In fact, many of the pioneer vendors of Mercato Centrale – the weekend food market that we organized along with partners RJ and Vanessa Ledesma and Gary and Janice Villanueva – were winners of previous Ultimate Taste Test.” Anton adds. “They include Dulcelin Gourmet specialties, Supreme Brazo, Angus Beef Tapa, Risa Chocolates, and Merry Moo Premium Ice Cream.”

The latest edition of the Ultimate Taste Test was recently held at Soderno Food Market in Molito Commercial Center, Alabang much to the delight of Southern-based food enthusiasts. Each attendee received a ‘passport’ where they rated the food and drinks samples of all the participating food entrepreneurs, which included innovative and specialty dishes from Margie’s Paella Negra, Frisch’s Liquor Ice Cream, Hizon’s premium flavored sorbets, Nina’s Grill’s fried pork and chicken isaw, Carlo’s Kitchen’s crunchy pork belly, Sober Club’s mocktails, Mama Lout’s Panzarotti, Merry Moo’s bacon chocolate ice cream and more.  

The top five winners of the latest Ultimate Taste Test will not only be featured in the www.OurAwesomePlanet.com blog, but they will also be given a free month’s stay in any of the Mercato Centrale-managed food markets which include Soderno in Alabang, Distrito in Makati, Mezza Norte in Quezon City and Mercato Centrale in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

For interested chefs, bakers and food entrepreneurs who are interested to participate in the next Ultimate Taste Test, please contact rache@diaz.ph or 09175318949. 


VIRAL PHOTO: TEXT SCAMMER ASKING FOR A LOAD


I remember a family friend who got scammed by this modus operandi. She thought it was her daughter who works overseas who texted her and asked for a load. She told us that my kinakapatid(J) changed her international roaming number and they will put a little loading business. It turned out to be a text scammer. Tita R lost Php 5,000 worth of load. It was her hard earned money. I pity her. But what can I do?

So when I saw this viral photo, I really laughed when the text scammer got a dose of his/ her own medicine. Ha ha! It serves them right. I wish the police/ NBI caught them and put them in jail for fooling people and stealing other people's load.

If ever you receive a similar text message, give them a ride so they will stop fooling people.

BUTUAN Court of Inspiration


Court of Inspiration in Butuan

         
Bound by their desire to provide their community with its first real basketball court, locals from Barangay Ampayon in Butuan are brought together to build their own “Court of Inspiration” under the Aray Natin, Galing Natin campaign- a collaborative effort between small-town locals and Alaxan FR to construct these symbols of community and turn them into something that moves people to aim for greatness.

The spirit of Bayanihan is still alive! Kayang kaya basta sama sama!
Barangay Ampayon is just one of the many places that Alaxan FR is eyeing for the construction of Courts of Inspiration. For Visayas, the first basketball court was unveiled recently in Iloilo. Soon to rise are courts in Bacolod, Dumaguete, Tacloban, and Cebu. In Mindanao, construction will begin shortly in the communities of Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga and Saranggani.
Through these projects, the campaign aims to give members of communities in different parts of our country pride in having personally built something that doesn’t just hone their skills, but builds their character as well.

“I was impressed at people’s willingness to jump at the opportunity to serve their community at our project in Butuan and I believe I’d witness the same level of enthusiasm in the communities where succeeding Courts of Inspiration are to be built,” says Kristine Martinez, Alaxan FR Product Director.

Alaxan FR Team with Barangay Captain Samuel Allan Amante

“Maganda rin ‘to lalo na sa kabataan, para malayo sila sa mga bisyo” (This is also good for the youth, that they may be steered away from vices) says Bgy. Captain Samuel Allan Amante, who led his people into volunteering. Drug use is currently high among teens in Bgy. Ampayon, and the local government see the project as a means of sending the youth into the right direction.


Coming Home to Mandaue Foam


                                     
Your home, your imagination.

I would like to share my top three (3) great finds at Mandaue Foam.

Number one on my list is the Noka. I have always wanted to upgrade our queen size bed to a King Size bed for more space and comfort. And Noka is the perfect bed for me.Fairly priced at Php 22,000. I can say that this is my dream bed! It has a very nice headboard and close on the sides. Yes, I don't want an open bed. It is bad Feng Shui to have an open space underneath the bed.
Everybody knew that Mandaue Foam is famous for its Hotel Quality Gala Bed Mattress. And guess what I discovered just last night? I saw on their website that Mandaue Foam came up with a new product. I could not wait to try their New Premium Latex Top Pocket Spring. They're heavenly! I could imagine myself having a deep slumber on this mattress.Cost for 78×78 Inches is Php 32,500.00 only.
The last but definitely not the least is the Verve L-shape Sofa with Ottoman Php 17,000.00. This is a very relaxing sofa that you could use while watching Television or movies on your home theater.
If ever I get married in the future I would love to have Mandaue's Foam products. Okay, okay, I admit, I blurted that out, after I saw this commercial from Mandaue Foam. I can't help being nostalgic! Hays!


Mandaue Foam 's trademark products include its signature Flex Foam.

- Price Subject to Change without prior notice. Please contact your nearest Mandaue Foam Showroom to confirm.
- For more information about this product please contact Mandaue Foam

Note: This is not a paid post. I am just fantasizing decorating my own home with Mandaue products. Who knows, I might get lucky and find a husband who will not only sweep me off my feet but also purchase all what I wanted above!

MMA fans can look forward to watching the pride of Asian MMA, Shinya “Tobikan Judan” Aoki, make his highly‐anticipated ONE FC debut in Manila. Shinya Aoki (30‐6‐1) is the DREAM Lightweight Champion and has beaten the likes of Tatsuya Kawajiri, Marcus Aurelio and Rich Clementi. He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu‐Jitsu and Judo which has earned him a reputation as one of the top submission specialists in the sport of MMA.

Gustavo Falciroli is the current CFC Australia Bantamweight Champion. He earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu‐Jitsu in 2003 and is currently on a two‐fight win streak.

Arlovski has gone toe‐to‐toe against some of the top heavyweight fighters in the world including the likes of Tim Sylvia, Fabrico Werdum and Fedor Emelianenko. Expect Arlovski to bring hard hitting action when he looks to continue his winning streak against Soa Palelei.

Two of the most skilled strikers in the ONE FC Featherweight division will battle it out in what is guaranteed to be a fast paced slug fest. Former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver will battle the pride of the Philippines Eric Kelly. In his first appearance in the ONE FC cage, Pulver will look to impress Asian MMA fans with a decisive victory over the rising star Kelly. Coming off an impressive unanimous decision victory over Bae Young Kwon at ONE FC: Destiny of Warriors, Kelly will do everything in his power to maintain his unbeaten fight record and turn Pulver’s dream debut into a nightmare.

BE DESPERATE....NOT


Be desperate....NOT!

We all have problems, burdens, fears, issues, you name it...we all have it. Each one of us has different versions of our stories. All of us has our own share of heartaches, longings and desires.
 
Before you go on with your story about all your problems, please stop. Be still and listen...please read first...

Relax! God is in charge of the situation and God loves you so much. It is only God's love that will make you have peace in your heart.

Be still and know that GOD is always there for you. God takes most of our load. Don't be too fearful. This is the kind of God we all have. God is in charge and he loves us.

For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.-Deuteronomy 20:4

So just do your best shot and let God do the rest!

You must remember that you are so valuable in the eyes of God. You have a bottomless pit of Worth because you are a child of God. Made in the image and likeness of God.

Do not be desperate for anything else in this world. For we are God's precious child. Imagine God singing this to you... Yes! You! The most wonderful being,God's beautiful child that God loves so much!

Child, you are, more precious than silver
Child, you are, more costly than gold
Child you are, more beautiful as diamonds
and nothing I desire compares to you...

When I heard Bo Sanchez singing these lines. It hit me hard right into my heart. I cried, with the realization that all my issues, fears and problems are no match to God. We can't win God's love anymore because He loves us already.

No one can compare to the love of God. He gave up His precious son, the darling of heaven and the universe...just because He loves us so, so much.

                        Lord, Your Love is deeper than seas.
                        Lord, Your Love encompasses the nations,
                        And yet, You live right here inside of me!

                        Who can weigh the value of knowing You?
                        Who can judge the worth of who You are?
                        Who can count the blessings of loving You?
                        Who can say just how great You are?

                        Lord, You are more precious than silver.
                        Lord, You are more costly than gold.
                        Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds,
                        And nothing I desire compares to You.
