What the.. MTRCB pushes to suspend Showtime again!

Still because of Rosanna Roces' remarks on the show, the MTRCB will again suspend Showitme, Magpasikat and any other similar show. And we're like, what?

Err. Here's abs-cbn's statement regarding this matter posted on pep:

"Ang lumabas na desisyon ng MTRCB kaugnay ng programang Showtime ay hindi na ikinagulat ng ABS-CBN.

"Ang MTRCB committee na duminig ng kaso ay hindi na inasahang sasalungat sa naunang desisyon ng Chairman na naghain ng preventive suspension order sa Showtime. Matatandaang, tuwirang kiniwestyon ng pamunuan ng ABS-CBN ang 'validity' ng ipinataw na preventive suspension order kung kaya't ang ABS-CBN ay naghain ng pormal na reklamo sa Ombudsman laban sa MTRCB chairman sa paglabag nito sa anti-graft and corrupt practices act.

"Ang desisyon ng MTRCB ay hindi final and executory. Hindi sang-ayon ang ABS-CBN sa nasabing desisyon kung kaya't ito'y iaapela sa Office of the President.

"Samantala, ang SHOWTIME ay patuloy na mapapanood at magbibigay aliw at inspirasyon sa mga kapamilya sa buong mundo."

Kim gives Gerald a golf cart and LV bag for his birthday!

Wow. These two sure know how to give great gifts. Gerald said on abs-cbn.com, “Binigyan ako ng golf cart. Binigyan (din) ako ng LV bag na napakaganda pero hindi ko gagamitin kasi ire-reserve ko. Idi-display ko na lang kasi sayang, napakaganda.”

Kim also organized a party for Gerald which was attended by Rayver Cruz, Matt Evans, Jay-R Siaboc and other friends. Gerald said, “Nagset-up siya ng karaoke, kulang na lang clowns. Sobrang ganda talaga.”

Kim explained, “Siyempre 21 na siya, parang wala pa akong pamalit na regalo dun sa pink na sasakyan, sobrang ibang gift ‘yon. Sabi ko mag-iisip nga ako, debut niya rin, eh. ‘Yun na lang (ang naisip ko) kasi lagi siyang umiikot sa village nila na naka-motor para maiba naman golf cart naman kahit wala sa golf course. Wish ko sa kanya good health kasi sobrang busy niya and siyempre sana hindi siya magbago dahil ‘yun ang minahal sa kanya. Sobrang bait niya.”

Gerald also spent some time with Cancer patients on his birthday. He shared, “’Yung materyal na bagay hindi naman talaga importante. If you’re blessed, try to bless other people. Kung kaya mong gawin, work hard, receive hard, share hard.”

Well, happy birthday and we hope you stay grounded.

It's not Jay-R! Pacquaio finally chose Charice to sing the Philippine national anthem in his fight against Clottey on March 13.

And we agree! There's no better choice right now. Right?

P.S. Somebody please tell Charice to keep it simple and just stay with the original version.

Screw those evil Tsunamis!

There are some things we just can't control. Tsunamis have and will hit some countries in the Pacific including our very own. We pray for those who live in the coastal areas and those who have already been effected by these Tsunamis and those earthquake victims in Chile.

It hurts us to realize that we Filipinos are very much defenseless when it comes to these kinds of events. Only the rich will be able to escape with their helicopters and other vehicles while the poor will be left to face nature's wrath.

After the drought, the typhoon season will come and we might just be facing Ondoy-like monsters. Those presidentiables and other political candidates should be pressured to present their plans on how the Philippines will handle these calamities. We saw how weak the government was last year during Ondoy and Pepeng.

We don't want that to happen again.
