Regine Velasquez (MNS Photo) Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez said she tends to be “choosy” when it comes to movie projects, noting that it is not her forte. Velasquez admitted that she usually feels uncomfortable when doing films. “I get uncomfortable… Bago ko gawin ‘yung project, talagang kailangan kong i-psyche ‘yung sarili ko. Mahirap ha, kasi I have to wake up in the morning being a different person,” she said. Velasquez was quick to add, however, that she also enjoys being a movie actress. “Siyempre, I end up enjoying it. Pero before that, lagi akong hesitant because I am not an actor. I am a singer,” she said. “I want to accept projects na I am sure I can do, like rom-com,” she added. “Depende siguro din kung may role pa na babagay sa akin.” When asked about her preferred leading man should she star in a movie again, Velasquez said: “Hindi ko alam. Kasi nga, parang hindi ko masyadong iniisip eh. So hindi ko alam unlike before na parang once a year kailangan kong mag-movie so naghahanap na agad ako [ng actor].” Velasquez starred in hit films like “Wanted: Perfect Mother,” “Dahil May Isang Ikaw,” “Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw,” “Till I Met You” and “Pangako Ikaw Lang.” (MNS)

Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Chief Negotiator Mohagher Iqbal during the continuation of the hearing for SAF 44.(MNS photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) – Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) peace panel chair Mohagher Iqbal on Thursday admitted that the MILF leadership does not have complete control of the areas in Mindanao identified as MILF territories. “Hindi po namin sinasabi that the MILF is in total control of Moro areas. We have control in certain areas but total control po ay hindi,” Iqbal said at the continuation of the Senate probe on the January 25 Mamasapano incident. “Kahit na ‘yung government of the Republic of the Philippines ay wala din naman pong total control of its area. May mga lawless groups pa rin na gumagala. So ganun din po yung sa MILF territories, hindi total control,” he added. Iqbal was responding to the query of Sen. Teofisto Guingona about the presence of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) and private armed groups in the area of Barangay Tukanalipao in Mamasapano, where the firefight between the PNP-Special Action Force and the MILF occurred on January 25. The site of the incident was identified as an MILF-controlled area. Earlier at the hearing, Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Governor Mujiv Hataman admitted that there was confirmed presence of private armed groups in the encounter site during the January 25 incident. Guingona then questioned Iqbal on the matters of security if the MILF will be given authority to establish and run its own police force. Bangsamoro Read More …

(MNS photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) – Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago on Thursday said criminal charges may be filed against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) before the international court if proven that their members were involved in the brutal killing of elite policemen in Mamasapano, Maguindanao, on January 25. At the continuation of the Senate investigation on the Mamasapano incident, Santiago said a video showing the brutal killing of one of the SAF troopers by still unidentified men can be used as evidence in the filing of charges. In the said video, which was first posted on YouTube, it can be seen that one of the Special Action Force (SAF) commandos was still alive when he was shot twice on the head by a still unidentified man, believed to be a Moro guerilla. “Sa paa lang ang tama pero nilapitan niya at binaril sa ulo twice. Walang pakundanggan! At bukod diyan ay may dala pa silang video para mai-post. Parang trophy pa nila. Ganung klase ang kalaban na meron tayo,” Santiago said. Santiago pointed out that the situation on the ground during the encounter can also be used as basis in the filing of charges against the MILF before the international court. She stressed that based on the United Nation’s Read More …

At a press briefing Thursday after her appearance at the Senate hearing on the Mamasapano incident, Santiago went as far as saying that relieved Special Action Force (SAF) chief Director Getulio Napeñas Jr. was just a “scapegoat.” Asked if she thinks Aquino was forthcoming about his role in the incident, Santiago said, “No, not completely.” The SAF members were killed when the operation, designed to arrest two high-profile terrorists, resulted in an encounter with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which has an existing peace agreement with the government. On Aquino’s statement that the operation to arrest Malaysian Julkifli bin Hir and Filipino bomb-maker Basit Usman does not need his go-signal, Santiago said, “I don’t believe that for a minute, I’m sorry.” “He had a direct hand from the very Read More …
