Jesse Manalastas Robredo

Jesse Manalastas Robredo. Mabuting ama. 

Mapagmahal na asawa. 

Mapagkalingang anak. Tapat na kaibigan. 

Lingkod bayan. Nagueño. 

Bicolano. Higit sa lahat, Pilipino. 

This is the picture of Hon. Jesse M. Robredo. This is still posted on the website of Philipppine Government. Some of you might be wondering why is that so? In my own thought, it might be as an honor of late Jesse for being a good government official. We may don't know him well but basing on the feedback that were published, all those were saying that Jesse was a very good man not just to his family or friends, but to all the people around him. 

As a proof, Pres. Benigno S. Aquino said:
"Iba po talaga si Jesse. Kapag mayroon tayong matinding problemang kinakaharap, palagi naman pong nandiyan ang mga taong sumosuporta at magsasabing, "Nasa likod mo kami." Pero si Jesse po, kabilang sa mga bibihirang tao na ang sasabihin, "Sir, ako na lang ang haharap, ako na lang ang pu-pronta." Hindi po nasa likod. Talagang kasama sa pilosopiya niya sa buhay ang hindi maging pabigat sa kapwa; ang palaging mag-ambag ng pinakamalaki niyang maiaambag, o lagpas pa, para makahanap ng solusyon."

I also read a quoted statement of Jesse Robredo that really made me appreciate him the most:

"Sana ay maging handa ang mga tapat at may kakayahan nating mga pinuno na magsakripisyo at tumugon sa tawag ng panahon…
Hindi ito madali ngunit kung sama-sama tayong lahat,hindi malayong maabot natin ang minimithi natinmagandang kinabukasan para sa bawat Pilipino."

— Jesse Manalastas Robredo (1958-2012)

New Chief Justice - Maria Lourdes Punzalan Aranal-Sereno

Since the last Chief Justice Renato Corona has been impeached and convicted for betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution, President Benigno Aquino III officially appointed Associate Justice Maria Lourdes Punzalan Aranal-Sereno as the 24th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court dated August 24, 2012.

Statement of the Presidential Spokesperson on the new Chief Justice, August 24, 2012

Statement of Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda:On the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines[August 24, 2012]
In the midst of this period of deep mourning for the loss of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo, the President is cognizant of his constitutional duty to appoint the next Chief Justice of the Philippines. He has therefore decided to appoint Associate Justice Maria Lourdes Punzalan Aranal-Sereno as the 24^th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The President is confident that Chief Justice Sereno will lead the judiciary in undertaking much-needed reforms. We believe the Judicial Branch of government has a historic opportunity to restore our people’s confidence in the judicial system.

Background

"My Way" Song of Frank Sinatra is Banned

It is said that the song of Frank Sinatra entitled "My Way" is banned and almost all the karaoke bars in the Philippines already removed this song from their song list. This may sound crazy but the reason for this banned is because there are at least half a dozen of people were killed just because of singing this song not to mentioned those who were severely injured.

According to authorities, they also not sure what had happened or what really the real reason is. But of those killing incidents, it would end up on their investigation that those who were killed or severely injured were last seen singing the said song.

People in the Philippines were divided base on the reason. Some said that maybe the song itself is having some sort of a curse that whoever sang it will die. But some said that maybe because of being a very known song, many people also knew the proper way of singing "My Way". And maybe those who sang this song who were killed or got into some sort of a violence acts didn't sang it properly or maybe they just don't really have the right tone. With that, those people who really idolized that song got angry and came to result to violence.

Holiday on August 20, 2012 - No Work and No Class

This is a little bit late, but for those who don't know yet, Pres. Benigno S. Aquino III had declared August 20, 2012 as a regular holiday. In short, there will be no class and no work on that day. This is inline with the Proclamation No. 455, s. 2012.

Aquino declared August 20 as a regular holiday to promote cultural understanding and integration, the entire Filipino nation should have the full opportunity to join their Muslim brothers and sisters in the observance and celebration of Eid’l Fitr, a celebration by the Muslim World for three (3) days after the end of the month of fasting. One more thing, it is in order to bring the religious and cultural significance of the  Eid’l Fitr  to the fore of national consciousness

This proclamation was declared last August 13, 2012.

For some of those who still don't know, some part of the Philippines is now experiencing a catastrophe. This was started when a typhoon named Ferdie enter in the Philippine Area of Responsibility last July 18, 2012 and it lasted until the 26th day of July of this year. But when Ferdie was not completely got out from Philippine Area of Responsibility, a new typhoon was developed last July 26, 2012. Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration (PAG-ASA) named it as the typhoon Gener. Gener lasted until August 04, 2012. But last August 1, while Gener is still hitting the northern part of the Philippines, a new Typhoon started to hit the Philippines, they named it as Haikui.

Because of these typhoons that keeps hitting the Philippines, some dams overflowed. They reaches their maximum level of water stored. That creates the whole nearby Barangays on flood. Plus heavy rains are still pouring down.

Because of these floods, many schools canceled their classes same as some agencies, especially Government agencies.

IZA CALZADO at LITO LAPID LUMIPAT NA SA ABS-CBN

images via wikipedia

Pumirma na ng kani-kanilang kuntrata sina Iza Calzado at Sen. Lito Lapid sa ABS-CBN kahapon. Ang kontrata nila ay hanggang tatlong taon.

Masayang pinirmahan ni Iza ang kanyang kontrata sa ABS-CBN. Sabi ni Iza ay panahon na raw para masubukan naman niya ang ibang bagay bilang isang artista. Idinagdag pa ni Iza na gusto niyang makasama sa pelikula sina Piolo Pascual at John Lloyd Cruz. Nakatakdang gawin ni Iza ang teleseryeng "Biggest Loser" ni Wenn Deramas. Nakatakda na ring gagawa si Iza ng pelikula sa ilalim ng Star Cinema.

Sinalubong naman si Sen. Lito Lapid sa theme song ng kanyang pelikula noong Leon Guerrero. Kinabahan pa ang Sinador sa dahilan na ito ang kanyang unang pagkakataon na sasabak sa telebesyon. Noon kasi ay puro pelikula lamang siya. Ang Sinador ay kasali sa teleserye ng ABS-CBN na pinamagatang "The Little Champ" kung saan gaganap siya bilang isang Kutsero. Hiling ng Sinador na sana huwag bigyan ng masamang kahulugan ang kanyang pagsali sa ABS-CBN dahil kailangan din naman niyang kumayud.

6 NA BAHAY KINAIN NG APOY SA CEBU

Ayun pa kay Bureau of Fire Protection Col. Aderson Comar sa Cebu City, ang apoy ay nagsimula sa bahay ni Bernardino Villegas sa Riverside Hipodromo, Cebu City. Natanggap ng mga bumbero ang alarma mga 10:03 kaninang umaga at lubusang napatay ang apoy sa loob lamang ng 10 minuto. Sabi ni Col. Comar, mga 6 na bahay daw ang nasunong at tinatayang umabot ng 150 libong piso ang kabuohang pinsala ng sunog.

MAYWEATHER vs PACQUIAO sa MAY 15?

Hindi na ako nagulat nang mabasa ko ang sinulat ni Mayweather sa kanyang twitter page na naghahamon kay Manny Pacquiao. "Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see". Yan ang twit ni Mayweather.

Nahatulan na nga si Mayweather ng pagkakulong ng 90 na araw pero sinuspindi muna ito ng Hukom dahil sa naka-book na na away laban kay Pacquiao sa ika-15 ng Mayo sa taong ito. Sabi ng hukom ay ikukulong nalang daw si Mayweather pagkatapus ng laban nila.

JINKEE PACQUIAO NAGING MATUNOG SA TWITTER KAHAPON

source: pinoyhalo.com

Naging matunog ang asawa ng people's champ Manny Pacquiao na si Jinkee Pacquiao kahapon. Ito ay dahil sa kanyang larawang naging cover sa Mega Magazine. Pinakita niya rito ang bagong istelo ng gupit sa kanyang buhok at ang seksing kurte ng kanyang katawan. Naging usap-usapan siya sa twitter kung saan isa siya sa mga nag trending dito sa Pilipinas.

Iba't iba ang reaksyon ng mga nakakita nito. Merong pagpupuri at meron ding panglalait. Isa sa mga panglalait ay parang hindi tunay ang larawang ginamit na sabi pa nila ay "too photoshopped".
