No less than House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. himself thumbed down the idea of legalizing same- sex marriages, which are now deemed legal in the United States. “Definitely I’m against [it],” he said in a text message. Belmonte’s opposition was shared by male colleagues in the House, who noted that the chances of a bill on same-sex unions being passed is next to none considering that even the proposal to SAME SEX MARRIAGE continued on page 21 ABOVE-GMA7 Kapuso star Heart Evangelista poses with Miss Philippines Canada 2015 Nathalie Ramos and Miss Philippines Canada 2014 titlist Krisgelle Maramot.

  • DOST-SEI Announces Qualifiers to the 2021 S&T Undergraduate
    Republic of the Philippines Department of Science and Technology Science Education Institute Service. Excellence. Innovation. DOST - SEI announces qualifiers to the 2021 S&T Undergraduate Scholarships The long wait is over for the applicants to the 2021 DOST-SEI S&T Undergraduate Scholarships as the Department of Science and Technology - Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) announces today the names of qualifiers to the said program. The DOST-SEI did not conduct the national scholarship qualifying examination in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Institute employed data analytics and proxy indicators in place of the exam to identify qualifiers. Documentary requirements were collected through the agency’s E-Scholarship Application System beginning June 2020. These documents, including the students’ grades in Grades 9-11, which were obtained and verified from their respective schools, were evaluated. “In the face of the new normal, we had to adopt a new selection scheme to determine the qualifiers for our scholarships. We wish to highlight that each application was meticulously validated, and the collection of grades took some time; thus, it took us several months before we could finally release the results,” said DOST-SEI Director, Dr. Josette T. Biyo. Of this year’s qualifiers, 3,815 qualified under the RA 7687 program—scholarships for gifted students who belong to economically disadvantaged families; while 4,252 qualified under the Merit program. They will receive notice of award sometime in September courtesy of DOST-SEI or the concerned DOST Regional Offices. In the list, 2,042 names were marked with one asterisk implying some lacking documents; while some names were withheld pending completion and evaluation of requirements.

    UP Film Institute Filmography of Filipino Films 2003 Introduced by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon Compiled by Virginia D. Cuyugan and Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon with assistance from Pol del Mundo of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Ana Fajardo of the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) Edwin Joaquin of the MOWELFUND Film Institute The Filipino film celebrates this year its 85th anniversary but its activities and achievements through the years still need to be documented and assessed fully and systematically. Today, the country is still wanting not only in the capability to preserve its film heritage but also in the determined and sustained efforts to collect and preserve existing data on Filipino film for posterity. It does not help that the conservation of Filipino heritage, taxing and tedious as it is already, is appreciated by only a few individuals even within the industry. As an institution dedicated to the study of films, the UP Film Institute (UPFI) shall try to help in the task of gathering, classifying and disseminating data on the Filipino film. As part of its commitment to the public, the UPFI shall make these data available to everyone through the publication of a systematic and comprehensive listing of Filipino films, beginning with those produced in 2003. This year is most apropos as it was also in 2003 that the UPFI was formally established by virtue of the UP Board of Regents resolution. The UPFI realizes that such filmographies are indispensable for anyone who wants to gain an overview of the film landscape in the country and to make necessary, informed and authoritative observations on the state of the Filipino film industry.
