Kidnapped : Please Continue To Pray For Their Safety

Abu Sayyaf and extremist rebels are still in Mindanao, some of them are dead and some breakaway groups survived previous military operations and still kidnap people. May God have mercy on their soul.

My Aunt Milet Mendoza hasn’t been freed yet by her kidnappers. I just am too worried about what these “dangerous people” could do with her and Ms. Espie from Nagdilaab Foundation. These are teens who are just brainwashed by Muslim Extremists in the Southern part of the Philippines. There are other people behind this. My Tita Milet went there because of her calling to help War displaced Filipinos (Muslims and Christians alike) and help them rehabilitate thru programs provided and implemented by NGO’s. I just read off an update in Inquirer that the abductors were able to use Esperancita Hupida (Ms. Espie’s) mobile phone and call Nagdilaab Foundation President Fr. Angel Calvo on Tuesday and reiterated the demand for 5 million pesos in ransom. Ms. Espie was able to talk “They threatened to cut Espie’s fingers if we do not give in to the ransom demand, they also made us hear how they hurt her while the call was ongoing… it is agonizing, unbearable and very barbaric… Espie was so weak and she could be ill, but her captors still did hurt her. She kept on begging for help and asked us to do all means to help her” Fr. Calvo said.This ransom value was lowered today to an undisclosed amount but was still impossible to raise by Ms. Espie's family. They would still not release information on my Aunt Milet until Hupida has been released. Government is strictly implementing a no ransom policy for kidnappers.

For those who were not able to read my previous article on my website, Ms. Espie Hupida and my Aunt Milet Mendoza were kidnapped along with four other people in a remote village of Tipo-Tipo Central Basilan, a war torn province in the southern Mindanao on Sept. 15. Four others managed to escape on separate occasions, Auntie Milet could have also done so but she did not want to leave Ms. Espie Hupida behind because she could barely walk. They could not however still get any information about my Aunt Milet. I ask all my friends, fellow bloggers and family to please continue to pray for my Aunt Milet and Ms. Espie’s safety.

I thought I was clean of MELAMINE! OMG even LIPTON!

Well folks, I just was shocked this morning. After working out, I grabbed the morning paper and checked out what the latest news was since I need to blog about something. You know what I found out? I've been drinking spiked tea all along....

This is the culprit:

If you think tea was healthy, think again! (>_<) tsk tsk!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, I've been drinking Melamine laced Lipton tea all along (a few cups a week). Now Unilever is pulling out this stuff exported from Indonesia. I just hate the fact that I'm a lil educated about tea but never in my wildest dreams thought that I'd be also a victim of this ingredient melamine. I just wish its not gonna affect my health. I hope these middlemen they blame for putting these in milk be reprimanded and taken to jail. The effect has just been worldwide! So if you are a victim, stop drinking this and all its flavors! This news has been confirmed by BFAD. (-_-)" if only they pay me for medical bills!

Who is Eugene Domingo?

I watch your movies Eugene Domingo! ^_^

I am a huge fan of Eugene Domingo and I ain't ashamed to say that out loud in my site ^_^. Her crazy antics and punchlines are the best a comedic actress would ever spurt out. Her timing and unprecedented candidness on and off movies are worthy for me and my friends to take notice. It was when we said, hey this girl's funny... we'll follow her movies! and it didn't end there.

My friends and I religiously watched her movies even if we obviously didn't like her co stars. We enjoy and adore her. Although I know, some pinoys would probably ask "Who is Eugene Domingo?".

I'm sure you watched her a couple of times in TV. If you are a theater addict like I was in college you probably watched one of her shows as well. She is a good actress from UP and I think there are a couple of merits to her name as well, but just this afternoon I read off a showbiz website that a couple of movies were pulled off from her... I tried to check out why... it turns out a clash between Mother Lily Monteverde and Eugene's manager Ricky Gallardo was the culprit. This in turn got 4 of her movies pulled out from her. The manager however belies this statement from Mother Lily saying "Its different if you got a movie pulled out, than not accepting the offer at all because we did not accept it to tell you frankly". I believe the manager in this case because Mother Lily had agreed upon prices for these films, but at the last minute she wanted a lower price which in turn stressed out the manager and Eugene. The only thing that the manager wanted was "WORD OF HONOR" because everything was set already. This is one big deal for anyone who knows the word "Professionalism".

Mother Lily says "Bhaka malowogi Negoshoh" lolz!

I am starting to hate Mother Lily but what can we do really. It's a good thing that a couple of films and her launching movie is still in play, otherwise I would really despise producers like that who don't honor their words just to earn a buck.

Retired Comptroller Eliseo dela Paz and the 6.9 Million Controversy

The one being awarded on this file picture from PIA is Eliseo dela Paz, he will receive a different AWARD from GMA I know! Lolz! ^_^

On a touchy subject. Of course I won't let this pass! =P Eliseo dela Paz admitted lapse of judgment when he brought along a large sum of money ... Euros totaling to an equivalent of 6.9 Million Pesos in local currency was just hand carried during a trip/conference for 77^th Interpol Assembly in St. Petersburg, Russia. This scorned him of carrying public funds for personal caprichos but he semantically denies that these were stolen and said he has the papers to show these were legal funds from the PNP budget. Authorities from Russia held him captive for a few thinking these were also illegal. It was just on his part that he blames for embarrassing the Philippines in such a prestigious occasion. I really hope this is not what I and millions of Filipinos think it is. I hope this is not stolen public funds. Dollars purchased through local banks even would ask you for reasons why you would carry a large sum but he said that he had forgotten it was prohibited at that time. I guess he was not used to carrying credit cards huh?! ^_^ lolz. Oh by the way, did you know that even their wives were with them at that time? Yes, all their wives came along and spent public funds for that trip! Talk about being considerate at these times where the economy ain't better huh?! At times where there are even people who have nothing to eat at the poorest regions... what else is new in the Philippines!

He said he'll show papers that these were legal funds and if he needed to appear tomorrow in the Ombudsman as he willfully obliged. People from other countries already see us corrupt and THAT I guess just pinned the tail on the donkey. I just wish he gets punished if proven guilty of mishandling it. The courts will decide... but of course how in the world could you repay us getting humiliated in the International community huh?!
