Its name is one of its attributes, an element of its existence, and essential to its identity.” (6 Fletcher [Perm Ed], pp. 3-4).

This was announced by Star Cinema managing director Malou Santos during the “Chat with the Chairman” event at ABS-CBN on Tuesday, as reported by Star Cinema in its website.

As in the day after the grand finals, I leave for New York. Our finals will be on August 29 and August 30, August 31, I’m on a plane out. So no movie this year,” she had said. Salonga will be part of the musical “Allegiance” with Japanese-American actor George Takei, which is scheduled to start previews October 6 at the Longacre Theater in New York prior to its official opening on November 8.

(MNS photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) – Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad on Monday defended Interior Secretary Mar Roxas against allegations that his camp was behind the inclusion of Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Director General Joel Villanueva in the latest batch of politicians sued in connection with the pork barrel scam. On the sidelines of the budget briefing of the Development Budget Coordinating Committee at the House of Representatives, Abad told reporters it is not in Roxas’ character to malign an ally. “I don’t think Sec. Roxas is going to do that to a close ally. I don’t think it’s in his character and nature,” he said. Earlier, a Manila Times report quoted Villanueva as saying that “jealousy” might have driven some Liberal Party (LP) stalwarts to find a way for him to be sued for the alleged misuse of his pork barrel allocation as the congressional representative of CIBAC party-list. Villanueva is accused of allegedly receiving P2.33 million in kickbacks from his pork barrel fund allocations. The Manila Times news report cited as reason for his inclusion in the case a supposed plan to ease him out of the Read More …
Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is a bold local official who seems to “endorse” violence against criminals. MANILA (Mabuhay) – Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said he is definitely not taking part in the presidential race in 2016, saying Vice-President Jejomar Binay, Senator Grace Poe and Secretary Mar Roxas can take the prize for themselves. “Hindi ko na panahon. Binay, Poe and Mar sa inyo na yan,” he said during a membership meeting of Junior Chambers International Sunday. The tough-talking mayor cited three reasons for not joining the 2016 race: his age, lack of funds and lack of support from his own family. He said he does not want to add his own “inutility” to Malacanang after the administrations of Joseph Estrada, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and President Aquino. “Please, not me. Don’t give me the opportunity to add to the hardships of the country. Dadagdagan ko ang six years ni Estrada, Arroyo, Aquino ng 6 years din ng aking ‘inutility.’” When asked if his decision is final, Duterte paused and said he cannot run a country that is divided. He said he will run when all armed groups in the country lay down their arms. “I have had six heart attacks. Pag presidente ako, I have to deal with Bangsamoro and may China pa. Mamatay ako. But if I can get Joma Sison, Nur Misuari, the Bangsamoro to agree, then I will run but they must drop their arms first. It will be an all inclusive government,” he said. The mayor also Read More …
