(PEP.ph) Umiiyak si Angel Locsin na humihingi ng paumanhin sa nangyari sa kanyang community pantry sa Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City noong Abril 23, 2021, na araw rin ng kanyang birthday.

Sa panayam sa kanya ni Alvin Elchico sa TV Patrol kagabi, Angel held herself accountable sa mga nangyari. Inaako raw niya lahat at wala siyang ibang tinuturo na may kasalanan.

Pero halatang galit pa rin ang punong barangay ng Brgy. Holy Spirit na si Chito Valmocino nang nakapanayam naman siya sa radio program ni Cesar Chavez sa DZRH ngayong Sabado, April 24.

Masama ang loob ni Valmocino kay Angel at sa mga kasamahan nito dahil kulang daw ang koordinasyon sa kanila, lalo na nung dumami na ang mga tao.

Huli na rin daw noong nalaman niyang tatlong daan (300) na ayuda ang inihanda ni Angel sa araw na iyon, at nakikita na nilang hindi mabibigyan lahat ng taong pumila.

Sabi ni Valmocino, “Magulo at walang malinaw na coordination, kahit na po tinatanong paulit-ulit ng mga tao ko ay ayaw nilang sagutin.

“Nang dumating si Madam Angel, alas siyete siya dumating. Ang pila po ng tao nang siya ay dumating na at umikot po dun sa may St. Peter ay umaabot na po ng Litex, alas siyete pa lang ng umaga.

“Yung dinaanan niya na iyon, libu-libo na ang nadaanan niya sa Commonwealth at pagpasok niya ng Holy Spirit Drive, bakit hindi niya po sinabi na tatlong daan lang, at hindi siya kaagad humingi ng tulong sa barangay?

“Iyon po ang hindi ko maisip na kung sila ay may malasakit sa mga tao na galing sa iba’t ibang dako… Read More

(GMA News) Senator Joel Villanueva called a Philippine National Police (PNP) proposal that would require workers to first present a police clearance when transacting with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) “harebrained” and an “added burden to workers.”

Villanueva, chair of the Senate labor committee, said in a Saturday statement that the PNP proposal was not only incredulous but ran counter to President Rodrigo Duterte’s instruction to government offices to cut red tape.

“What the President has ordered and what the people want is less red tape and not more of it. What the PNP is proposing goes against this,” Villanueva said.

PNP chief Gen. Debold Sinas had proposed the requirement in a letter to Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello.

Villanueva also saw no sense in requiring a jobless OFW, who was only seeking financial help from the DOLE, to make a detour to a police station.

“{DOLE offices are] not an apprehension place for the police where they can set up a dragnet for people who have unfinished business with authorities,” the senator pointed out.

There were other, better ways of apprehending people in trouble with the law, he added. “You go after them and not wait for them to walk into the precinct,” Villanueva said… Read More

(GMA News) Gustong-gusto raw ni Kaye Abad na bumalik sa showbiz, pero inilahad niya kung bakit hindi niya ito maaaring gawin sa ngayon.

“Gustong-gusto kong bumalik, pero ang hirap. I think buntis na ako no’n, I just found out that I was pregnant. And then nag-text ang handler ko may offer sila na soap opera. Maganda ang role, maganda lahat,” kuwento ni Kaye sa online talk show na “Just In” na host si Paolo Contis.

Ayon sa kaniya, gusto muna niyang tutukan ang kaniyang pamilya.

“Hindi puwede, buntis na ako. So priority ko talaga ngayon is family muna, na makabuo ng family,” sabi ni Kaye.

“Kasi kung magtatrabaho ako ng full time, let’s say I would stay there mga three months the most, hindi naman ako mabubuntis sa Maynila na wala ang asawa ko,” dagdag ni Kaye.

Natatawang biro ni Paolo, “Hindi natin masabi!”

“Baka sa iba!?” natatawa namang sagot ni Kaye.

“Hindi talaga puwede. Sabi ko, sige, kung para sa akin talaga itong showbiz, makakapaghintay naman sila.”

Bukod dito, wala ring problema kay Kaye kung alukin siya na gumawa ng pelikula.

Nang tanungin kung papayagan niya ang mga anak niya na mag-showbiz, tugon ng aktres, “Ngayon, ayoko.”.. Read More

(Inquirer.net) Senator Imee Marcos on Friday urged President Rodrigo Duterte to immediately assign a special envoy to China amid the ongoing tensions in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), naming the President’s daughter – Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte – as the best choice for the post.

In a statement, Marcos, a known administration ally who backed Malacañang’s policy of avoiding confrontation with China, said that the appointment of Mayor Duterte was a “very Asian strategy that will lend a personal touch to bilateral talks and also ensure a frank discussion of developments with the President.”

“Diplomatic protests are certainly in order, but constant confrontation delays consensus and is really not the Asian way of solving disagreements,” argued the senator.

Marcos also recommended a “verbal ceasefire” between the two countries, adding that the government can take the bilateral and multi-stage negotiations to the next level.

“Besides agreements between member states, the whole ASEAN must also propel a joint Code of Conduct with China to its completion. It’s been almost 20 years since it was proposed and only general terms have so far been agreed [upon]. Let’s finish it ASAP!” Marcos said.

The senator further recommended the expansion of the policy in pursuing shared interests with other countries, citing the joint naval anti-terrorism force with Malaysia and Indonesia after the Marawi Siege.

“The emphasis of foreign policy is to pursue shared goals rather than just unilateral interests, if harmony is to be achieved,” Marcos ended.

On Friday, the Department of Foreign Affairs has announced that it filed two new diplomatic protests against China after 160 Chinese vessels were spotted in Philippine waters.

The DFA said the presence of these vessels in the West Philippine Sea “blatantly [infringed] upon Philippine sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction.”

The new diplomatic protests were in addition to the daily protests being filed by the DFA against the continuing presence of Chinese vessels in Julian Felipe Reef… Read More

(Smart Parenting) Last month, Jake Ejercito went to Siargao for the first time. Not only was he able to experience “island life” with daughter Ellie, the actor also met her family during his stay there.

“Actually what happened was, si Ellie was in Siargao, with her mom, with Andi. And then wala naman, hindi naman siya vacation trip. Actually more on daddy duty siya kasi I went there just to pick her up,” Jake shared in an interview with Cinema News.

The dad explained that it was Andi Eigenmann who asked if he could fly out with Ellie from Siargao since their daughter would be staying with him for a while in Manila.

“Kasi nga considering si Andi may bagong baby, she has Lilo also. Mahihirapan siya kung siya pa ang magdadala dito kay Ellie. So nakiusap sa akin si Andi, kung puwede ko sunduin si Ellie and that’s what I did,” Jake said.

He stayed in Siargao for four days and three nights and he was also able to meet the newest addition to the ‘Happy Islanders’ household as well as Andi’s fiancé, Philmar Alipayo.

“Si Lilo na-meet ko na dito sa Manila, and then the youngest, si Koa, I met there in Siargao and also Philmar. It was also [the] first time na I met hime when I was there,” he explains.

All-grown-up Ellie
Since it was his first visit to Siargao, Jake asked his daughter to take him around the island. He documented it in an Instagram post where he wrote, “found me an angel for a tour guide.”

“I asked her to show me kung saan siya nagpupunta every day, kung saan siya naglalaro, kung saan siya kumakain. So ‘yun ang mga inikot namin while I was there,” the dad said.

In a previous interview, Jake admitted that he dreads Ellie approaching her teenage years. He tells Cinema News that Ellie now refuses to be called “Princess… Read More
