  • Michelle Madrigal As Cathy and Bela Padilla As So Is There Really a Formula for Success? Just Middle-Aged Men
    ittle anila L.M.ConfidentialAPRIL - MAY 2013 Magna Carta for the Poor Mission Impossible MANILA , Philippines - “Mission Impossible.” This was how President Aquino described the proposed Magna Carta for the Poor that he vetoed, as the government had no means to allocate around P3.3 trillion from the P2-trillion annual national budget to uplift the lives of the poor. The Chief Executive justified that he cannot give false hope to 95 million Filipinos, especially since the government is cash-strapped. President Benigno Aquino III has vetoed the Magna Carta for the poor, noting the absence of a provision which gives the government ample time to provide for basic demandable rights. MICHELLE “Let’s be merciful to government officials or employees who will be given this mission impossible and end up facing charges for failing to do the impossible. This is why I was forced to veto this law,” Aquino explained. The P3.3-trillion estimate that Madrigal Budget Secretary Florencio Abad gave the President does not even include the 10 percent administrative fees that will be needed for processing. “The P3.3 trillion also has a 10 percent administrative fee – the people who will process their applications for housing, Making her Mark supervision on the construction of houses, those who will distribute the food, etcetera,” Aquino said. In all, it will be P3.3 trillion plus roughly about with Love & Lies P300 billion “just to administer” the rights of the impoverished Filipinos, and in order for the program to be fully implemented. Aquino disclosed that the government has to spend around P600 billion for mass housing alone for the 26 percent of Filipinos who are living below the poverty line out of the 95 million total population.

  • Filmography of Filipino Films 2012 Introduction by Lucenio Martin L
    DOCUMENT Filmography of Filipino Films 2012 Introduction by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon Compiled by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon, Maria Regina V. Mendez, and Alex Nicolas P. Tamayo Introduction Philippine cinema in 2012 can be pretty summed up by the box-office triumph of a most unlikely release in The Mistress and the international presence for the country’s national cinema courtesy of Brillante Mendoza. The Mistress is from the country’s leading studio, Star Cinema and is the kind of adult romance that is a throwback to love triangles of circa-1960s dramas involving the likes of Eddie Rodriguez, Lolita Rodriguez and Marlene Dauden in the film cast. It’s not exactly family fare and its success at the tills may hint at the changing dynamics of audience taste and patterns of consumption for local movies. As to the waves the country made overseas, two films directed by Mendoza gained significance. Captive—by all means an international film with a French legendary actress Isabelle Huppert in the lead role—vied for top plum at the main competition in Berlin. Superstar Nora Aunor’s comeback, Thy Womb, managed to land a slot in turn in Venice similarly for main competition. With a phenomenon that may prove distinct for Philippine cinema, industry production was much propelled by a kind of festival craze. Sustained endeavors for Cinemalaya, Cinema One, Cinemanila and Metro Manila Film Festival were matched no less by the Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival under the auspices of the Film Development Council of the Philippines—the national agency tasked to oversee the state of affairs pertinent to the country’s film industry.

  • Golden Girl Pork Barrel Scam Exposed
    ittle anila LJULY. - AUGUSTM 2013.Confidential Pork Barrel Scam Exposed Bill to Abolish Pork Barrel filed MANILA, Philippines - The five senators implicated in an alleged billion-peso pork barrel scam should go on leave pending the results of a probe, Sen. Miriam Defensor- Santiago said. This, as she urged President Benigno Aquino III to form an independent panel to look into a P10-billion expose involving the use of Priority Development Assistance Funds. “Out of delicadeza, the five senators should go on leave, to erase any doubt that they might use their power or their money to pressure the investigators,” Santiago said. She was referring to Senators Bong Revilla, Jr., Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada, Bongbong Marcos and Gregorio Honasan who have been linked to ghost projects. At the same time, solons whose names have been dragged into the controversy have meanwhile vowed to subject themselves to investigations, even as they denied the allegations. “I submit myself to a full investigation of all my PDAF allocations,” Enrile said, noting however that he has no ties with whistleblower Janet Lim Napoles. “This issue should really be investigated,” PORK-BARREL continued on page 11 Golden Girl Katharine Reyes received a Gold Medal for her Song & Dance, Tap, and her Jazz MAIN PHOTO, The winners of the Miss Philippines Canada 2013, Miss Teen Philippines Canada 2013, Little Miss Philippines Canada 2013 and Vocal Solo.
