PUBLIC DRINKING ‘A PATHETIC STUNT’ Consumer group bares water rate increases by BWSI PUNTO! CENTRAL LUZON • SEPTEMBER 25 - 26, 2013 • WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY ANGELES CITY – A consumer group here revealed that effective October 22, 2013, the prices of the water dispensed by Balibago Waterworks System Inc. (BWSI) to its service areas in Balibago, Malabanias, Pulung Maragul, Amsic, Diamond Subdivision, Sapang Bato, Abacan and Dau will increase “atrociously”. The Samahang taga Balibago na ang Adhikain ay Kalusugan (SABAK) said it obtained a copy of a decision by the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) dated July 17, 2013 granting a five-year Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) and authority to increase rates to the BWSI based on latter’s petition on February 18, 2013. Also, SABAK has ridiculed as a “pathetic stunt” the public drinking of the BWSI officials of the water coming out of its 2 new pump in Barangay Lakandula, Mabalacat City. “We still challenge them to drink the water BWSI serves the people of Hadrian street, Diamond subdivision, Pulung Maragul and many other places in its service area. Lakandula is a new project, so it is expected that the water has improved qualities. But in many parts of its concession area, the water is undrinkable,” SABAK said. “For its dirty water, consumers will be paying atrociously more,” said SABAK spokesperson Danilo de Austria Consumido. “The NRWB decision belies the recent statement of BWSI denying it is increasing its rates,” he added. According to the NWRB decision, the minimum charge for households up to 10 cubic meters of consumption will be up from P237 to P293, or a P56 increase. Consumption in excess of 10 cubic meters up to 20 cubic meters will be charged P30.20 per cubic meter from P24.80 per cubic meter, or an increase of P5.40 per cubic meter. Households consuming over 50 cubic meters will pay P41 per cubic meter, from the previous P29.60, or an increase of P21.40 per cubic meter. The minimum charge for commercial and industrial users has not been increased. But those consuming more than 25 to 1,000 cubic meters will pay P64 per cubic meter, from the previous P49.60, or an increase of P14.40. Those consuming over 1,000 cubic meters will have to pay P82 per cubic meter from P54.40, up by P27.60 per cubic meter. The decision signed by NWRB OIC-Executive Direc- tor Elenito Bagalihog also noted that there was “no opposition” to the BWSI petition. SABAK, however, said that no public notice has been issued on the BWSI petition. “It was done in stealth,” Consumido said. “It is very ironic that while the MWSS has recently ordered the Metro Manila water concessionaires to bring down their rates, the BWSI has been readily granted authority to increase its rates even as consumers have raised issues on the quality of its water and services,” he added. He said SABAK will bring its protest to the streets, and to the doorsteps of the BWSI and the NWRB. “We sense something fishy on the manner the BWSI got its permit to operate another five years plus the authority to increase rates,” he said. –Press release NEW HOUSING SITE. Mayor Pamintuan and Vice Mayor Vega-Cabigting lead the groundbreaking and time capsule laying rites of the soon to rise Angeles Heights Resettlement project located in barangay Sapalibutad. Joining them are City Councilors Amos Rivera, Bryan Matthew Nepomuceno, JC Pamintuan and Jojo Dimapilis and several village officials. PHOTO COURTESY OF ANGELES CIO FOR THE RELOCATION OF FLOOD VICTIMS New resettlement project soon to rise in AC ANGELES CITY – Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan and Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting led the groundbreaking rites yesterday of a new resettlement project that will house over 500 informal settlers and displaced families from 13 barangays in the city. The project, which is funded by the National Housing Authority (NHA), will benefit families who are victims of the calamity brought forth by the numerous typhoons and heavy rainfall that hit the country over the past few months. According to Pamintuan, the rise of this resettlement is an indication of things to come for the city. “In thirty years time, Angeles will become a major migration zone for residents of Central Luzon. We owe that to our geographical advantage, and of course, the boom of businesses in the city. The resettlement project is a step towards the right direction for providing proper, socialized housing for our constituents which will eventually allow us to accommodate more people in the future,” said the mayor. He added that more people will mean more taxes for the city, which will then fuel the local government to do more in terms of improving healthcare, education and peace and order in Angeles. For her part, Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting emphasized how the beneficiaries should consider themselves very fortunate to be the new residents of Angeles Heights. “We are very fortunate here in Angeles that the National Housing Authority has chosen us as one of their ven- ues for their resettlement projects. I just hope that the residents would be responsible enough to take care of these houses and not to sell them, which has been a common practice of other residents living in resettlements in different parts of the country,” she expressed. Vega-Cabigting also shares the optimism of the mayor in looking to the future and providing proper and affordable housing to the Angeleños. During his speech, former Local Urban Poor and Housing officer and now councilor Amos Rivera explained how the families would further benefit from this project with the system they have set up. “In this 3.24 hectare area, we will see the rise of 507 units with 40 square meters average lot size each – all of which are loftable. Additionally, beneficiaries will only be required to pay their monthly amortization after two years,” Rivera said. The average cost of constructing one housing unit is about P240,000 and will be clustered in row-type modules, complete with electrical, water supply and drainage system. He added that the developers are working hard to meet their December deadline so that the beneficiaries can move in early next year. NHA Project Manager Ines Gonzales was very appreciative of the support of the local government and the barangays involved for welcoming their agency’s project. This is the third resettlement site to be developed in this city. –Angeles CIO Reply to SABAK No tariff adjustment in October “IN REPLY to the concerns of SABAK, it is true that BWSI’s Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) from the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) has been renewed with the standard approved tariff adjustment for the next five years. For the information of the public, a CPC with a tariff adjustment is granted to a water service provider with a validity of five years to cover for increases in the cost of power, fuel and minimum wage among others. Inflation on operating expense items are the facts of life that all businesses have to contend with. In order to sustain and maintain a business to continuously provide acceptable products and services to its consumers, businesses have to make necessary price adjustments. However, despite what SABAK claims, BWSI does not plan to implement any tariff adjustments in October 2013 or in the near future as inflation is being contained by the government. NWRB grants water service providers the tariff adjustment in consideration of the five year validity but, it is optional for the water service provider whether to implement the full tariff adjustment at one time or implement it on a staggered basis over a period of time. In fact, BWSI did not even implement the full tariff adjustment approved by NWRB in the CPC granted to the company for the period of 2008 to 2013 (NWRB Resolution No. 017-1008). In the issuance of that CPC, BWSI was granted a tariff adjustment to charge residential consumers P237.00 for the minimum 10 cubic meters. In June 2008, residential consumers were paying P199.95 for the minimum. It took three years (in July 2011) that a rate increase to P219.10 for minimum residential consumption was implemented. Then, it was another year (in June 2012) that the residential minimum was increased to P229.10--where it still stands today. This is evidence that despite being granted a tariff adjustment up to P237.00 for the minimum residential consumption, BWSI never implemented the NWRB approved rate increase in full. We would like to inform the public that we have a P120 million infrastructure improvement plan that is to be rolled out over five years. We have already undertaken rehabilitation projects amounting to P60 million in Don Bonifacio, Diamond Subdivision, Mt. View and Lakandula in the last two years. The remaining P60 million will be invested in the next three years for a complete rehabilitation of the pipelines in the franchise area of BWSI as well as investment in additional water sources. We would like to assure our customers that BWSI is very sensitive to their economic situations and consider these before we implement any price adjustments. Gapo cleans up after worst floods OLONGAPO CITY – The city of Olongapo is now in full swing in clearing out debris, mud and trash and handing out relief good to residents which was affected by the flood that hit the city Monday morning. Olongapo City Administrator Mamerto Malabute has already instructed the engineering department to clear the main roads of the city and have ordered the distribution of relief good to residents and evacuees who are currently in the evacuation centers. 16 out of the 17 barangay have been affected by the flood Malabute said. The city council on Monday morning declared a state of calamity in the city. “I have instructed the city engineer to estimate the damage caused by the flood and clear the main road, schools and public market to bring the city into normal situation,” Malabute said. Hilda Escobar, a resident of barangay Sta Rita drowned after being swept by heavy current Monday morning. Gonzalo Pascua, head of the City Social Welfare and Development Office said that more than 600 families have been rescued and brought to different evacuation centers in the city. Olongapo City Mayor Rolen Paulino said that he would cut his trip short in Virginia Beach, Virginia USA to manage the situation. Vice Mayor Rodel Cerezo who is currently acting the mayor has suspended classes in all levels today (September 24, 2013). –Press release Olongapo residents clean their city from of debris left by floodwaters. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO 2 drown, 2 missing as waves pummel passenger boat in Aurora CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - Two died from drowning and another two remained missing off the shores of Dingalan, Aurora after their boat was overturned by strong waves and rain over the weekend, a belated report reaching Office of Civil Defense (OCD) here said. Elson Egargue of the Aurora Provincial Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office (APDRRMO) said passenger boat M/B Mikee Rose, boarded by 13 persons, eventually capsized amid bad weather off the coast of Barangay Dikapanikian in Dingalan last Saturday morning. . The boat picked up passengers from Palanan, Isabela and was on its way to Dingalan, Aurora when it was pummelled by strong waves and rain. Dingalan police chief Inspector Ferdinand Usita identified the drowning victims as Alejandro Abalos, 50, and Kim Manuel, 20, both residents of Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija. Usita said his cops, together with the Philippine Coast Guard, held search operations for two others identified as sisters Elenita at Suzette Abalos. The others survived and were plucked out from the sea by the rescuers. The rescued passengers were identified as Leila Abalos, Policarpio Aguilar and, Lodylyn Diamante while the boat crew were Rodolfo Plata, Reynald Montane, Wilbren Marquez, at Jun-Jun Ramirez, all of Palanan, Isabela and Rodsep Rosaldo and Rodel Morilla, both of Quezon province. Landslides kill 5 in Subic BY MALOU DUNGOG SUBIC, Zambales -- Five youngsters were confirmed dead in separate landslides in Barangay Wawandue and San Lorenzo Village, Barangay Matain here at the height of typhoon Odette Monday morning. The still unidentified victims were retrieved after hours of digging by rescue teams and barangay workers. Retrieval operation are on-going in these areas for other victims. Mayor Jefferson Khonghun has called on the sanggunian members to convene and declare this town under a state of calamity since about 60 percent of its area remained flooded. Meanwhile, hundreds of commuters and vehicles were stranded when the bridge between Olongapo-Gapan Road and Subic town was declared not passable due to possible damage on the bridge foundation. The road in Barangay Cawag was also de- clared impassable due to landslide. Hanjin workers were also stranded until the road is cleared of boulders. Floodwaters in this barangay reached one-story house deep, according to Rey Miranda, secretary for the Municipal Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Council in Subic. More than 500 families along this coastal barangay were evacuated in various evacuation centers in the upland area. Balanga turns into waterworld 30 people, mostly children, trapped, rescued BY ERNIE B. ESCONDE BALANGA City - Monsoon rains Sunday night till Monday morning caused heavy flooding in major areas in the commercial district of Balanga City and adjacent villages, turning Bataan’s only component city into a waterworld. The Philippine Coast Guard, soldiers of the 24th Infantry Batallion and barangay officials rescued more than 30 people, mostly children, trapped by turbulent flood waters in Sitio Rio del Mar in Barangay Cupang Proper. Barangay Captain Norman Guila said they have warned residents to evacuate. “Kaya lang may matitigas ang ulo na ang akala eh hindi tataas ang tubig. Ang nangyari, biglang lumaki ang baha,” the village chief said. He said that as of 1 a.m. Monday, they conducted preemptive evacuation along the floodprone area but some residents thought that there was no danger so decided to stay in their houses. “Pero biglang lumaki ang tubig kaya naipit ang ilang pamilya na karamihan pa naman mga bata,” Guila said. “Nabigla ang mga tao sa biglang paglaki ng tubig,” barangay secretary Romano Baul said. Among those rescued were twins aged three months. “Hindi kami nakalabas agad dahil lumubog ang kubo namin,” said an exhaust- ed old woman. Flood waters from two to three feet deep hit Barangays Ibayo, Tenejero, Dona Francisca, Cataning, San Jose, Poblacion and Tuyo. The beautiful Plaza Mayor de Balanga sandwiched between the elegant St. Joseph Cathedral, city hall and business establishments was with waist-deep flood waters. A portion of the MacArthur Highway adjacent to the four-lane road in Tuyo was not passable to all types of vehicles. Department stores, convenient stores and other businesses and private offices were all closed the whole day of Monday. PUNTO!

Lacson Pork to perdition PORK IS evil. So spake retired Chief Justice Reynato Puno at a gathering of Methodist churches at the Good Samaritan Church in Quezon City last week. “The pork barrel is an evil practice and it is our duty to fight evil by engaging it and not running away from it, not escaping from it,” he declared. “The fight against evil requires that we not only start the fight but we finish the fight. The fight against evil demands a period. The fight cannot be postponed by a comma, cannot be suspended by a ceasefire. Evil deserves but one end—defeat.” No war of attrition there but the war to end all wars. As well addressing all men of faith, the esteemed magistrate said: “In sum, the Methodist position in regard to abuse of governmental power is clear, unchanging and unchangeable. Our North Star has always been and will always be the Word of God. We maintain that government derives its power from God; that it is the sovereignty of God that counts, it is the sovereignty of God that controls, it’s the sovereignty of God that should dictate the direction of human destiny.” So sadly, some divine attribute arrogated unto themselves by those in government, thus: “However you look at it, the pork barrel scandal is all about abuse in the exercise of the powers of government, especially the legislative power over the money of the people.” Indeed, “the only rationale of the government is to maintain order by promoting good and not evil, and above all, the government must be an instrument of God, hence no government can subvert the sovereignty of God.” Indeed, government – at least in the case of the pork barrel scam – did just that. The evil of “mass theft” of the people’s money compounded and complexed by how it was “misused against the people’s interest.” “It was misused for political patronage; to buy the loyalty of people whose politics is for sale; to corrupt our system of making laws; to corrupt our systems of enforcing our laws; to corrupt our system of election; to perpetuate poverty; in other words, to violate the dignity of our people, to demean our democracy, and worse of all, to defy the sovereignty of God.” Drawing the lines of battle thus, “between God’s power and evil people in power.” Verily, the final conflict to be waged there. Pork is an abomination. Haram, as the Qur’an proscribes -“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.” [AlQur’an 5:3]. In the Old Testament too -- “And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you.” [Leviticus 11:7-8]. The same phrase in Deuteronomy 14:8 reverberating. As well as – and more terrifying – in the New – “And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.” [Matthew 9:30-32, King James Version]. And so the devils went into the congressional pork, and, behold, the whole House of Congress rocked violently and now lies precipitously on a steep cliff, teetering to fall into the sea of rage of a people wronged, and to perish… Pork is damnation. In both its scriptural and political sense. Woe unto you pork scammers. Hell has a special place for you. Abolish pork. Be saved. Duh? TODAY IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY Lope K. Santos is born in Pasig ON SEPTEMBER 25, 1879, Lope K. Santos was born in Pasig as Lope Santos y Canseco to Ladislao Santos, a native of Pasig and Victorina Canseco, a native of San Mateo. Santos was a Filipino Tagalog language writer and former senator of the Philippines. He is best known for his 1906 socialist novel, Banaag at Sikat and his contributions for the development of Filipino grammar and Tagalog orthography Banaag at Sikat is considered as the first socialist-oriented book in the Philippines which expounded principles of socialism and seek labor reforms from the government. The book was later made an inspiration for the assembly of the 1932 Socialist Party of the Philippines and then the 1946 group Hukbalahap. In early 1910s, he started his campaign on promoting a “national language for the Philippines” through organized lectures, cultural societies which he founded all over the country, and headed the department of national language in various leading universities. Mang Openg, as he was fondly called by his friends, was elected governor of Rizal province in 1910, served until 1913. In 1918, he was appointed as the first Filipino governor of the newly-resurveyed Nueva Vizcaya until 1920. Consequently, he was elected to the 5th Philippine Legislature as senator of the twelfth senatorial district representing provinces having a majority of non-Christian population. He was the primary author of Philippine Legislature Act No. 2946 which enacted November 30 of every year as Bonifacio Day, honoring Andres Bonifacio. He championed the cause of labor with his introduction of several measures designed to better the workers’ working conditions. In 1940, Santos published the first grammar book of the Filipino language, Balarila ng Wikang Pambansa (Grammar of the National Language) which was commissioned by the Surian ng Wikang Pambansa. The next year, he was appointed by President Manuel L. Quezon as director of Surian until 1946. When the Philippines became a member of the United Nations he was selected to translate the 1935 Constitution for UNESCO. He was also appointed to assist for the translation of inaugural addresses of presidents Jose P. Laurel and Manuel A. Roxas. He was married to Simeona Salazar on February 10, 1900. They were blessed with five children. He died on May 1, 1963 at the age of 86.

I regard him with credulity, after having read the history of his mysticism that started in 1987, as well as other matters that revolve around him. Today, I am devoting this space to the recent messages from the Blessed Mother through Pedro, because the messages do rhyme with other prophecies conveyed to other less known mystics of our days. The rhythm of the messages, through Pedro and the others, lies in the warning that days of mercy are about to be overwhelmed by days of justice. What follows are direct quotes allegedly from the Blessed Mother through Pedro, all warning of difficult days ahead. I can’t quite say whether the difficult days are only for Catholics of faith, or for the entire humanity. Last Sept. 7, our Blessed Mother told Pedro: “Dear children, I am your Mother and I came from Heaven to help you. Humanity desires peace, but peace will come when you convert and accept the Love of God in your hearts. You are moving toward a painful future. There will yet be horrors upon the Earth. Bend your knees in prayer. I want to help you, but what I do depends on you, for you have free will. Let God take charge of your lives. Be docile. The disobedience of men attracts upon humanity all sorts of evil. I love you as you are. Listen to me. I am at your side, although you do not see me. Courage. I will plead with my Jesus for you. Pray, pray, pray. This is the message which I bring you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for allowing me to bring you together here once again. I give you my blessing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Peace be with you.” Earlier last Sept. 1, the Blessed Mother’s message was as follows: “Dear children, seek Jesus today and Heaven will be your reward. You are in the world but you are not of the world. You belong to the Lord, and only in Him is your true salvation. Accept the Gospel of my Jesus in order to be great in faith. If you should happen to fall, do not be discouraged. Jesus is your great Friend. He is your sustenance through the Eucharist. In the sacrament of confession, He transforms you and offers you His mercy. Do not stand about with your arms crossed. What you have to do, do not put off until tomorrow. Convert and return to the One who is your All. God is in a hurry. Separate yourself from all that is evil and serve the Lord with Joy. Humanity is moving along a track of self-destruction, which men have prepared with their own hands. Difficult days are coming. Do not stand about with your arms crossed. Whoever walks with the Lord will never experience the weight of defeat. Whatever happens, do not allow the flame of faith within you to be extinguished. I will be at your side. Go forward without fear. This is the message which I bring you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for allowing me to gather you here once again. I give you my blessing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Peace be with you.” And then, last Aug. 31, Our Lady said: “Dear children, do not be afraid. The Lord walks with you. Put your trust and hope in Him. My Jesus is your traveling companion. Give the best of yourselves, and you will be led to holiness. Humanity is ill and the moment of healing has come. Seek Jesus. He loves you and awaits you. Feed yourselves with the Eucharist. Strengthen yourselves in prayer and by listening to the words of my Jesus. I know each one of you and I know what you need. Open your hearts to the truth. Difficult days will come for men and women of faith. That which I have announced to you in the past will come to pass. Bend your knees in prayer. Courage. I will plead with my Jesus for you. This is the message which I bring you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for allowing me to gather you here once again. I give you my blessing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The MacArthur Highway from Balanga City to the Layac junction in Dinalupihan was no longer passable to light vehicles. The Gapan-Olongapo Road in Layac was not passable to all types of vehicles. A few big dumptrucks, courtesy of the provincial government of Bataan, served as means of transportation for residents and commuters going in and out of Dinalupihan town proper. Layac is the entrance to Olongapo City and Zambales and exit to Bataan, Pampanga and Metro Manila. Gov.

This, as Anakpawis Partylist Rep. Fernando Hicap sought “a comprehensive audit of the more than P2 billion allocated for Apeco since 2007.” Hicap cited specifically the alleged use of some P300 million Agricultural Competitive Enhancement Fund (ACEF) for Apeco, including P100 million was used for the construction of Aurora State College of Technology and P200 million for the Baler-Casiguran Road. “It is illegal for Apeco to use ACEF money since the fund was earmarked for farmers and rural producers in Cen- tral Luzon affected by dumping of foreign agricultural products under the World Trade Organization and neo-liberal globalization,” he noted. Salvador France, vice chair of Pamalakaya who attended the deliberation on Apeco’s budget in the House the other day, said “ the budget slash for Apeco was “a tactical victory for us, but work is not yet done, “ The P76 million would just be enough for the salaries and allowances and other operating expenses of the controversial freeport facility under Apeco,” he noted. But Hicap said even the P76-million Apeco budget should be rechanneled for relief and rehabilitation efforts in Casiguran and other affected municipalities battered by recent monsoon rains and typhoons.

The group also cited House Bill No. 257 filed last year by partylist lawmakers under the Makabayan bloc composed of Anakpawis, Bayan Muna, Gabriela, Kabataan and Act Teachers as being opposed to Apeco. HB No. 257 insisted that the Apeco project establishing a freeport “ushered in a new era of landgrabbing and plunder of natural resources to the detriment of indigenous people, farmers and small fisherfolk in Casiguran.” The Supreme Court earlier asked Senate President Franklin Drilon and House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte to comment on the petition filed by Pamalakaya and other parties questioning the constitutionality of Apeco laws passed by Congress to give way to the establishment of freeport zone in Casiguran, Aurora. France, however, noted that both chambers of Congress have so far not submitted their comments. “Under Apeco, Casiguran, composed of more than 12,000 hectares of productive lands and fishing communities is being offered at the altar of global landgrabbing and corporate plunder,” Pamalakaya said. It noted that under the Apeco program, only 105 hectares would remain for the local folk to depend on. In 2OO8, Republic Act No. 9490 created the Aurora Special Economic Zone (ASEZA) on 500 hectares of public agricultural lands covering Barangays Esteves, Dibet and Dibacong in Casiguran. A survey done for the project, however, indicated that private lands and farm lots awarded to farmer beneficiaries under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) of the government were among those included in ASEZA’s coverage.

Central Luzon: September 11, 18 & 25, 2013 The Gossipmiller by Cesar Pambid May pasabog ang Sunday All Stars Julie Ann San Jose pinapangarap na makatambal sina Aljur Abrenica at Tom Rodriguez KAHIT NA tinanggal sa cast ng Dormitoryo si Julie Ann San Jose, siya naman ang ginawang bida “Kahit Nasaan Ka Man”. It’s meant to be her reunion with “Party Pilipinas” ka-love team, Elmo Magalona, but Elmo declined, just like what he did when he was being included in “Sunday All Stars.” What did she feel when she was paired with Kristoffer Martin instead? “Okay naman po siya,” she says. “We first did the music video of my song ‘I’ll Be There’ as a duet at ang bilis niyang nakuha nang tama ang kanta. First primetime show ko po so I’m very excited about it siyempre, ninenerbiyos din dahil bago ang tambalan namin ni Kristoffer. Mas nasanay ‘yung fans na nakikita ako with Elmo.” So why did Elmo beg off from the show? “I really don’t know at ayoko ring magtanong. Hindi naman siguro ako ang dahilan. Whatever his reason might be, let’s all just respect it. Hindi rin naman siguro magiging issue sa viewers na Kristoffer is really on with Joyce Ching off cam. Alam naman nilang we’re just playing our respective roles in the show. I think I’ll learn a lot from Kristoffer kasi he has more experience than me when it comes to acting at nanalo na siya ng acting award for his movie, ‘Oros’. Alam kong marami rin akong matututuhan sa senior co-stars naming sina Ronaldo Valdez, Tessie Tomas, Rita Avila, Eula Valdes, Yayo Aguila and Michael de Mesa na puro veterans na sa larangan ng acting. And I’m willing to learn from all of them.” “Kahit Saan Ka Man” will really be a test case for her. If it would click, then that means viewers accept her not only as a singer but also as an actress. There’s a possibility she might star in other TV dramas later on. Who among current Kapuso actors would she like to be paired with in the future? “Sana sina Aljur Abrenica and Tom Rodriguez kasi, like Kristoffer, they’re also both good singers. Mas makaka-relate siguro ako sa leading man ko kung nakakakanta rin siya.” How about the rumor that she told GMA she doesn’t want to be paired with Alden Richards after their alleged aborted romance? “Ay, wala pong ganun. I don’t want to go into the details of what happened between us. Siya na lang ang tanungin nyo. Civil naman kami when we see each other sa ‘Sunday All Stars’.” ng Kahit Nasaan Ka Man. 1130FS • 1140MF • 200 • 420 • 640 825LFS • 900LMF • 1045END Paranormal Asylum (R13) 1030FS • 1040MF • 1230 • 220LMF • 347END Riddick (R13) 400FS • 410MF • 635 • 900LMF • 1058END 2 Guns (R13) 1150FS • 1200MF • 215 • 430 • 645 840LFS • 900LMF • 1055END Sadako 2 (R13) 1230FS • 1240MF • 245 • 450 • 655 831LFS • 900LMF • 1036END Insidious 2 (PG13) 1110FS • 1120MF • 145 • 410 • 635 828LFS • 900LMF • 1053END Sana Dati (PG13) 1230FS • 1240MF • 245 • 450 • 655 835LFS • 900LMF • 1040END Elysium (PG13) 100FS • 115MF • 400 • 645 900LFS • 930LMF • 1127END Riddick (R13) 1050FS • 1100MF • 130 • 400 • 630 830LFS • 900LMF • 1100END 2 Guns (R13) 1200MF • 215 • 430 • 645 850LFS • 900LMF • 1055END Sadako 2 (R13) 1050FS • 1100MF • 100LFS • 300LMF • 435END Paranormal Asylum (R13) 500MF • 700 • 835LFS • 900LMF • 1030END Heart Evangelista swears she was never on with Sid Lucero HINDI NAMAN daw sumama ang loob ni Heart Evangelista kahit na nagtagal bago siya nabigyan ng project sa GMA 7. “Marami rin kasi akong ibang ginagawa, like ‘I Bilib’ with Chris Tiu and ‘Sunday All Stars’, then I’m shooting a new movie, ‘My Trophy Wife’, and Viva says I’ll start another one right after this, ‘Eternally’, so okay lang na hindi ako busy taping a soap,” sabi niya. She’s now paired anew in ‘Magkano ang Pag-big Mo’, which replaces “Maghihintay Sa Iyo”, with Sid Lucero who was linked to her when they did ‘Legacy’ on primetime. Didn’t her beau Sen. Chiz Escudero get jealous? “No. When it comes to our work, we don’t meddle with each other. Walang problema kahit na-link sa’kin ang bagong kapareha ko. He knows Sid and I just dated but never na naging kami as I was not ready then for a new relationship. He understands my line of work and is just very supportive. Hindi lang naman ako kay Sid reunited in ‘Magkano ang Pag-ibig Mo’, but also with Alex de Rossi na nakasama rin namin sa ‘Legacy’ and with Isabel Oli na kasama ko naman sa ‘Forever’, kaya happy kami sa set.” She’s also glad that whatever differences she has had with her parents have been patched up. “We’re okay now. My relationship with my parents is important to me. Life is short so you should be in good terms with your parents.
