MO TWISTER TO FACE RAPS OVER LEAKED VIDEO



Radio DJ Mo Twister or Mohan Gumatay in real life, born October 19,1977, will be facing charges after a video talking about sensitive issues between him and his then girlfriend Rhian Ramos allegedly leaked online.

“GMA Network is going to file charges against Mo Twister for malicious and false imputations against the network in his video posted this afternoon on YouTube” - GMA as quoted by gmanetwork.com in a story posted at 1 a.m. on Dec. 3. 
Gumatay said he had already deleted the controversial video but it was “repaired” by someone who bought his computer.

On his official Twitter account, Mo denies uploading the video.

At 8:20 p.m., still on Friday, Mo expressed through Twitter that he also didn’t know how the video got online.

“I can’t give any clear answers right now because I too am wondering how it all got here. I know I sold many of my things including computers that I had erased. Apparently, someone ‘repaired’ the erased files/hard drive and uploaded some personal files of mine,” he said.

Saying that he felt “terrible” about the incident, Mo said that he will postpone his flight to New York today and “stay until Monday, or later, in order to help clear or answer some of the questions, as well as investigate how someone may have retrieved my erased files.”

Mo stressed,

“One thing is clear, I loved Rhian very much and what we went through traumatized me, as other recent incidents have.”

Mo reiterated that he’s been “getting professional help to cope with the loss,” but have ultimately decided on “trying to heal outside of the Philippines instead” for an unknown period of time.

He ended his tweet with
“I appeal to whoever is in possession of my personal files to refrain from uploading anything further. I have spoken to my immediate supervisors and upon their advice, I will explain all of this on Sunday on ‘Paparazzi,’ as it is the only venue I have that has a sizable reach to many of you. I’m sorry again.”
The controversial video entitled “RepairedMovie.mov” was posted on YouTube by an anonymous user prettyjenny55 last November 28, 2011.

From a total of 353 page views on Friday night, it has been reported that the video has over 259,954 views as of today.


DAVID BECKHAM'S LA GALAXY VS. PHILIPPINE AZKALZ


The LA Galaxy won vs. the Philippine Azkals, 6-1 in their friendly match Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011, at the Rizal Stadium in Manila. 

David Beckham scores the first goal for the LA Galaxy against the Philippine Azkals in their friendly match Saturday, Dec. 2, 2011, at the Rizal Stadium in Manila

David Beckham scored the opening goal, a trademark curling right-footed strike from outside of the box in the 20th minute to spark the Galaxy to victory against the Filipino side that looked threatening on the first half.

The huge crowd in Rizal Stadium in Manila appeared stunned, perhaps even awed, at the way David Beckham so effortless and so precisely curled the ball, finding the top left corner over the flailing arms of Azkals goalkeeper Eduard Sacapano. Mike Magee doubled the lead in the 28th with an expertly taken strike from just outside the box, following a brilliant layoff from captain Landon Donovan.

The Azkals’ only goal courtesy of Phil Younghusband got the loudest response though as the Filipino-British striker unleashed a left-footed strike.
Irish international Robbie Keane also scored for the Galaxy, who extended a 2-1 halftime lead as the Azkals backline grew weary in the second half.
Phil Younghusband scores what would be the lone goal for the Philippine Azkals against the LA Galaxy.
Keane struck in the 47th minute from a Beckham free kick, before Adam Cristman scored two goals, including in the 62nd minute off a feed from Donovan.

But the action on the pitch took a backseat upon the arrival of boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, who came into the stadium early in the second half to watch the game together with his wife Jinkee and their children.

Beckham was substituted in the 75th minute. When he left the pitch, he approached Pacquiao at the VIP area to give him his jersey.

David Beckham also made good his promise to Phil Younghusband and gave him another of his jersey.

LUNAR ECLIPSE ON DECEMBER 10, 2011


It’s really nice to think that we can witness an event that occurs very very rarely. Like the celestial event that will happen on Saturday, December 10, 2011.

We will witness not just a lunar eclipse but a total lunar eclipse and meteor shower on December 10. 2011 at around 7:33 p.m. and end at 1:30 a.m. the following day.

In Manila, the moon will rise at 5:13 p.m. on Dec. 10 and set at 5:38 a.m. the following day.

If you live in the Philippines, or in North America except for the eastern section, Hawaii Island, Oceania, Australasia, some parts of Asia, eastern Africa and Eastern Europe, you will be one of the billion people who will be able to watch a total lunar eclipse and meteor shower. 

The major phases of the eclipse are as follows:
  • Penumbral eclipse begins at 7:33 p.m. 
  • Partial eclipse starts at 8:45 p.m. 
  • Total eclipse happens at 10:31 p.m. 
  • Partial eclipse ends at 12:17 a.m. on Dec. 11  
  • Penumbral eclipse concludes at 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 11.
A lunar eclipse takes place when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon so that the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon.

The penumbra, a Latin word meaning “for almost-shadow,” is the portion of a shadow resulting from the source of illumination being only partially blocked.

From Dec. 14 to 15, on the other the Geminids meteor shower will reach its peak.

Under a dark and cloudless sky just after midnight on the peak of its activity, meteors or ‘falling stars’ can be seen at an average rate of forty meteors per hour.
It’s a really democratic event because you don’t need an expensive telescope or any other sophisticated equipment to enjoy the spectacle — just your eyes or if you like you could use a pair of binoculars

This amazing phenomenon starts at about 7:33 p.m. on December 10, 2011.

In layman’s term, what you will witness with your bare eyes will be the moon moving into the Earth’s shadow. 

This is all expected to end roughly at 1:30 a.m.the following day.

However, a waning gibbous moon will be in the sky on the nights of this shower which will interfere with the show.
 Photo from air and space
The shower will appear to radiate from the constellation of Gemini, the Twin according to PAGASA .

Dec. 22, 2o11 is when the winter solstice will begin. Nights then will be longer than daytime. 

The Sun will reach the Winter Solstice on December 22 at 1:38 PM (PST). This marks the time when the Sun lies at its farthest point south of the equator. It signals the onset of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

JANELLE MANAHAN PINS DOWN RAMONA, GAIL & RJ IN RAMGEN'S MURDER CASE



MANILA, Philippines – Lawyers for Janelle Manahan, the girlfriend of slain actor Ram Revilla (Ramgen Bautista in real life), submitted their client’s reply affidavit before the Parañaque City Prosecutor’s Office on Friday.

According to Manahan’s lawyers, Ram’s was a strict disciplinarian who had incidents of physical and verbal clashes with his siblings. They said these could be possible motives for the murder.

"Ramgen is a strict disciplinarian who at some point during several confrontations with some of the brothers and sisters had hit, sinaktan, tinutukan, sinakal ang mga kapatid, which would establish motive for the siblings to have conspired to kill him,” said Atty. Restituto Mendoza. Ram was killed inside their home in BF Homes, Parañaque last October 28.

In her affidavit, Manahan said that in her 5-year relationship with Ram, she witnessed several incidents of violence in the Bautista household. Ram is the oldest of 9 children of former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. with Genelyn Magsaysay.

Physical abuse
Manahan, in her affidavit, recalled that Ram once hit her sister Ramona “Mara” Bautista, one of the suspects in the murder, with a Glock 9mm handgun.

There was also an incident involving Ram and Ramona’s Turkish husband, which led to a rift between Ramona and Ram. “After Ramona got married to his Turkish boyfriend, Ram also had a tiff with her husband,” Manahan stated.

Ram’s other sister Ragelyn “Gail” Bautista, who was also tagged by suspects as one of the masterminds, was described in Manahan’s statement as a “black sheep” and was always at odds with Ram. Gail was once choked by Ram during a heated argument, according to Manahan.


Argument over budget
The 18-year-old Ramon Joseph or “RJ”, who is currently detained at the Parañaque City Jail, was described as a “timid soft spoken brother” who was submissive to his oldest brother.

However, Manahan said in her statement that Ram and RJ also had arguments involving expensive purchases that would strain the family’s budget. Several text messages were earlier recovered by police, showing that the siblings argued over the allowance from their father. Ram had also punched RJ once, said Manahan.

The night of Ram's murder
In her affidavit, Manahan reiterated that she did not see the lone gunman’s face because it was covered with a Halloween mask. She said the gunman shot her using a pistol with a silencer.

Manahan said she instructed Ramona to call for help because they could not find Ram’s car keys. Ramona tried contacting RJ first but he was not answering. Manahan then told Ramona to call Gail, who lived nearby.

Manahan, who was struggling to stay conscious, said she “did not notice any panic or worry” in Gail's voice during her phone conversation with Ramona. Ramona told her that Gail was on the way and left the room. However, Gail never arrived, prompting Manahan to send a text message to her mother and some friends to ask for help. When she was brought to the hospital, Manahan said she saw Gail, Gail’s husband Hiro, Ram’s sister Ragene and Ragene’s friend.

Manahan noted that only Ragene’s friend was “grieving while the rest did not.” Ramona was allegedly missing at that time. RJ also arrived at the hospital and he “did not appear to be grieving,” according to Manahan.

Manahan failed to submit her affidavit personally because she was not feeling well. She will undergo a preliminary investigation on December 13. She was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, after she received treatment for gunshot wounds to the face.

Ramona tags Ram's assistant
Meanwhile, the lawyer for Ramona, a suspect in the murder of her brother and frustrated murder of Manahan, also submitted Ramona’s sworn statement before the Parañaque City Prosecutor’s Office on Friday. In her statement, Ramona denied allegations that she was involved in her brother’s murder.

Ramona tagged Ram’s personal assistant Ronald Ancajas as the only person she knows capable of committing the crime. Ramona also revealed that an unidentified person called up RJ and informed him that Janelle had already been brought to the hospital. The original copy of Ramona’s counter-affidavit was submitted to Assistant City Prosecutor Leah Roma a week after Ramona’s camp submitted a photocopy of the statement.

Ramona’s counsel Atty. Jeffrey Hepte was accompanied by Ramona’s mother Genelyn Magsaysay and 4 other siblings. Ramona attested to the statement before Philippine consul Leilani Feliciano in Ankara, Turkey last November 16. Ramona left the Philippines last November 4, after she was named a suspect in the crime.

MO TWISTER VIDEO ON RHIAN RAMOS' ABORTION?


Mo Twister and Rhian Ramos chose fame & money over life?  If that is true that's really sad.

We don't know them personally and we don't know what the real score is between the two of them. And maybe they'll say that we don't have any right to judge them. 

Though all of this brouhaha started when Mo Twister allegedly tweeted scandalous details about a former girl friend allegedly referring to Rhian Ramos.

LEAKED VIDEO OF MO TWISTER TALKING ABOUT RHIAN RAMOS ALLEGED ABORTION ALLEGEDLY DONE IN SINGAPORE.
                           
"Its 28th of July 2010, First time I'm doing this. I don't event know why. Um, Maybe one day you'll watch this. Just remember how horrible of a day it is. You're in Singapore, You've been crying all evening because tomorrow morning, You and Rhian will go to the hospital here and get rid our baby. It doesn't matter naman what I think about it because this was her choiice. I don't know how long you'll keep this as a souvenir, but this is the test (Whisper) This is wrong. This is the hardest thing (Crying) This is the hardest thing you've gone through before and you've gone through so much. And we have to blame our jobs for this"




"This industry that judges you for these things. This business has made her believe that we have to take the life of our own child because no one will forgive her for this. That this job will ruin her, so we agreed that we'd come here and get it done. Because you love her and you just want her to be okay. Its not like Rhian is having an easy time with this too. Its hard on all of us. She said one day we will see this again. And maybe our jobs will be a little bit easier and more accepting about it. One day you'll look at this video, 20 years from now, I don't even know if you will still be together and it will still hurt. It will still hurt like hell. (Crying) You'll be sorry for this your whole life. I'll be sorry for this my whole life. I'm sorry for the bad choice we are about to make. Its hard for both of us"




"Nobody wants to do this. I know other celebrities have been able to succeed after this problem, if it is even a problem, I don't know if it's a problem. But you know, her parents are tough on her. Her station, her channel, her manager is so tough on her that it has made her feel that having this baby, is just no other option. I know Rhian is young. Maybe one day when we're older, when she is older, that we won't have to go through this. I don't blame her. The pressure on her is so great. That I know she feels like she has no choice. So this is not your fault Rhian. Its not. I know how hard it is to be you in here, In this situation."


"Its July 28, 2010 and I'm sitting inside the hotel. The Ritz-Carlton in Singapore and we've been fighting all night about this. I'm doing my best to try to keep you safe. And all this fighting is taking a toll on us. I wish we could have this child. I don't want to do this. This job is so difficult. Its so difficult. I'm so sorry. I'll be sorry forever. Again, one day you'll watch this. Maybe when you're an old man. You'll remember how difficult today was. And I hope you watch this and I hope by that time, I'll be married and I'll have a family that I can try to make it up to. You're going to do something really wrong today. I'm sorry for that. This is business is so so hard. This business is so hard on its employees. I guess all bussinesses are. I don't know. It's our fault I know. We can't really blame our jobs because other people did it. But um, I understand."

To all the youngster out there reading this. Taking the life of an innocent child is never the solution for unwanted pregnancy.

Please consult a priest or a nun if ever you find yourself in an unwanted pregnancy. There are organizations who are willing to help you, so don't you ever emulate wrong doing.

GMA ASSASINATION PLOT CODE: PUT THE LITTLE GIRL TO SLEEP?



MANILA, Philippines – Elena Bautista-Horn, a spokesperson for Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, revealed on Wednesday a possible threat on the life of the former President. According to Horn, a source from a certain government agency talked to them a few days ago and told them about a so-called operation "Put the Little Girl to Sleep," being cooked allegedly by the Aquino administration.

“May mga nagsumbong na naman po sa amin na nasa administrasyon ngayon na may mga masamang balakin. Mayroon sila ngayong operation called ‘Put The Little Girl To Sleep.’ Ni-report na po sa amin ‘yan kaya kami ay nababahala kasi nakikita naman natin kung gaano ang insistence ni [Justice] Secretary [Leila] de Lima at [Comelec] Chairman [Sixto] Brillantes na ang dating Pangulo ay iligay sa government hospital,” said Horn.

According to their source, Mrs. Arroyo should be careful in the food being served and the medications being administered to her. Horn stated they consider the source as highly reliable that they decided to share the information to the media. She also said

Alam rin po natin na lumabas sa column ni Mon Tulfo na sinabi daw po ni Secretary Butch Abad na kung pababa-biyahihen si Mrs. Arroyo eh mabuti na daw na barilin siya sa tarmac. So napagtatagpi-tagpi namin ang storya na talagang parang may agenda na hindi maganda para sa dating pangulo,” she said.

They are unsure though if they should ask for added security from the Philippine National Police (PNP). Arroyo lawyers are also discussing if they should raise the matter on Thursday at the Pasay Regional Trial Court (RTC) hearing.

The Pasay RTC Branch 112 will hear on Thursday the motion requesting hospital arrest for Mrs. Arroyo, who was charged and arrested last November 18 for electoral sabotage of the 2007 elections.
