because “there is more to
be done.” The 45-day campaign period for the May 13
elections started after Good

cus on her priority projects
on health, education, livelihood, infrastructure, peace
and order and agriculture

ANGELES CITY--The Department of
Health has issued tips to combat common
illnesses during summer season.
According to the DOH, six common
health problems during summer season include sore eyes, sunburn, coughs and cold,
loose bowel movement, skin diseases and
dog bites.
Some of the tips from the health agency
states that, for sore eyes or conjunctivitis,
hand washing can limit its spread. Health
experts advise not to use eye drops without
consulting a doctor. Health officials said sore
eyes, when mistreated, can lead to blindness.
For sunburns, it can be prevented if
outdoor activities will be done in the early
morning or late afternoon. The sun should
be avoided between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Using sunscreen appropriately like choosing a
product that retards against both UVA and
UVB rays, with at least an SPF30, can also
protect the skin from sunburns.
Meanwhile, heat stroke can be avoided
by drinking 8 to 12 glasses of water a day.
For common colds and coughs, senior ENDORSEMENT. Senatorial bet Cynthia Villar (2nd from right) smiles as Gov. Lilia Pineda and Mayor Boking Morales raise her hands during an

MACABEBE, Pampanga –
Some 888 high school honor students benefitted in the scholarship
program of the provincial government through the initiative of Gov.
Lilia Pineda and the provincial
board.
The beneficiaries are students
who graduated with honors this
school year in the 112 public high
schools from 19 towns and 2 cities
of the province.
Pineda believes that the future
of the province relies on the kind
of youth produced and honed by
proper education. This is why the
provincial government is helping
parents in sending their children to
school.
“The Capitol is longing for progressive and prosperous province.
To achieve this, we have to share the
dreams of the parents in obtaining
degrees for their children as education is a significant tool in achieving
success,” Pineda said.
Through the scholarship program, students who placed valedictorian, salutatorian, and first
honorable mention who will
pursue their studies in college
will receive P20,000 annually,

private institutions.
“They can work as a social worker, community organizer, community adviser, staff in government
institutions, administrative assistant, among others. There are more
jobs they can apply for,” she said.
This came as Baybayan encouraged the provincial government
scholars to take up Bachelor of Science in Social Work for a guaranteed employment in the future.

She said that Governor Lilia
Pineda wants to hire social worker
for every barangay in the province.
BS in Social Work program provides students with knowledge and
skills in social work practice, social
welfare policies, human welfare
and basic competencies such as
problem solving skills, analytical
and critical thinking skills necessary to become successful professionals. ● (PNA)

Barangay action
Peace and order is one hot issue to
tackle for every local and national official. The scarcity of uniformed men to
guard our streets and the inadequacy
of equipment and mobility of our policemen are suspects in the inability of the
government lawmen to keep us safe
from criminals.
These problems have lingered on for
a long time and we are not expecting
to see any solutions to these if we are
waiting for the government to address
them head on. The meagre budgets
of the national and local governments
cannot afford to meet the high demands
for modern equipment and continuous
provision of logistics for the police force.
So, it is a welcome development that
the local government of Mabalacat City
and the local police office decided to
hold trainings on peace keeping tactics
for hundreds of barangay police to augment the limited number of policemen
assigned in the newly-transformed city.
Kudos to City Mayor Marino “Boking”
Morales and Supt. Ferdinand Perez,
the city’s police chief, for coming up with
this ingenious idea to involve the local
folks in the upkeep of peace and order
in their communities.
The some 1,000 barangay cops,
scattered in the 27 barangays of the city
could be a huge deterrent to crimes in
the bustling city that expects the entry
of businesses after its conversion into a
component city.
We cannot overemphasize the importance of community involvement in
maintaining peace and order in our areas and equipping the locals with knowhow in fighting crimes will go a long way
in helping the short-handed, budgetconstrained government.

Ang Pinoy media tuwing halalan:
Isang personal na pagsusuri
“The kindest way of describing the practitioners who help
make news happen is that they are not particularly interested in either further study or in producing reports beyond
the commonplace. The harshest description would be that
the media themselves share the biases of the majority and
are content with reinforcing those biases by accessing only
the most easily available sources.”– Luis V. Teodoro
Sa mga edukado at mga Pilipinong mulat sa pulitika, ang
MEDIA ay itinuturing ng pangunahing sangkap at kalahok
sa paraan ng kung paano nangyayari at pinagpapasyahan
ang halalan sa ating bansa. Totoo itong kaalaman hindi lang
sa saysay ng pagsisi sa media sa kanilang pagpalyang makapagbigay sa mga botante ng mga intelihenteng edukasyon
tungkol sa halalan at mga kandidato nito nang sa gayon ay
makapagbigay din ang media ng mga maalam na pagpapasya
sa mga publiko. Madalas at matagal na ring inaakusahan at
sinisisi ang media ng pagbibigay sa publiko ng maling saysay
ng prayoridad sa pamamagitan ng mas pagtutuon ng media
ng pansin sa mga sensational at trivial, kasama na rito ang
mga gawain ng mga celebrities, kung kaya’t nakapagbibigay
sila ng maling opinyon sa publiko na ang pagiging celebrity
ay sapat na upang mahalal sa puwesto.
Sa maraming mga edukadong Pilipino, ang media mismo ay hindi nakikita bilang isang pinagmumulan ng mga
kwalipikado at tapat na mga opisyal na kailangan ng ating
bansa.
Sa kabila ng mga nabanggit kong katotohanan sa itaas
tungkol sa media at kaugnay na rin ng mga katotohanang
ito, ang isa pang gusto kong itanong ngayon ay ito: Alam ba
talaga ng media kung ano ang dapat nilang maging papel sa
bawat halalan? Nagagampanan pa ba talaga nila ng tama,
tapat, at mahusay ang kanilang dapat na tunay na maging
tungkulin sa publiko at hindi lang sa mga kandidato?
Kapansin-pansin kasi ngayon na ang media ay basta na lamang nagiging pamamaraan ng mga kandidato upang mas
makilala silang lalo at makapangampanya sila ng mas epektibo at mas malawak ang maging saklaw ng kanilang maabot
sa pamamagitan ng media? Bukod dito sa nabanggit ko, ano
pa ba ang maaaring maging totoo at matapat na silbi ng media sa mga kandidato at higit sa lahat sa publiko sa panahon
ngayon na halos lahat ay may katapat nang presyo, lalo na
kapag panahon ng halalan? Talaga bang mas mahalaga ang
pagkita ng pera para sa mga tao sa media kaysa sa pagtalima
ng tapat sa kanilang mga tungkulin bilang mga mamamahayag?
Hindi mahihirapan kahit ang grade school student na sagutin ang mga naisulat kong tanong na ‘yan. Maliwanag pa sa
sikat ng araw ang sagot na makikita at maririnig natin arawaraw sa mga pahayagan, radio, telebisyon, at internet. Magiging salamin ang kalidad at moralidad ng trabaho ng mga tao
sa media sa kung anong uri ng mga pinuno ang mahahalal
sa darating na halalan. Matagal na naman talagang iyan ang
sitwasyon natin dito sa Pilipinas.
Hindi nga lang natin madalas mapansin ang katotohanang ito sapagkat nalulunod tayo ng media hype
ng mga kandidato sa panahon ng halalan at hindi napagtutuonan ng sa- Towards

eleksiyon.
Isang mas malalim na pagsusuri
sa binanggit kong malungkot na
katotohanan sa itaas ay ipinahayag
ng mas malinaw at mas malalim
ng beteranong mamamahayag na
si Luis V. Teodoro sa isa sa kanyang
mga artikulo sa Journalism Asia. At
heto ang kanyang isinulat:
“But it is also true that the Philippine media coverage are the results
of shared responsibilities in situation
in which the media organizations
dare not risk losing readership and
audiences through reports that do
not confirm dominant prejudices, or
which they believe would not attract,
and would even drive away, consumer interest. Another factor is the cost
in both money and man/womanhours of producing in-depth stories
and background material based on
research. Philippine mass media organizations do not normally seek to
produce better reports quite simply because of cost.”
Totoo ang isinulat na pagsusuring ito ni Ginoong Teodoro tungkol sa Pinoy media, at mas lalong totoo ito kapag
panahon ng halalan. Kung kaya’t mas naging kumbinsido si
Ginoong Teodoro na isulat ang isa pang nagsusumigaw na
pagsusuri at katotohanan tungkol sa Pinoy media. Heto ang
tinutukoy kong pagpapahayag:
​“The Philippine mass media do have many virtues, but
those virtues are often overwhelmed by the vices of some—
some say too many—of its practitioners. That is why the mass
media are often criticized, and government regulations proposed, which are not only dangerous, but also likely to result
in the suppression of what’s good in the Philippine media and
the celebration of all that’s bad in them.”
Muli, isa pa ring katotohanan ito na natumbok ni Ginoong
Teodoro sa kanyang artikulo sa Journalism Asia na masasabi
kong mas totoo sa lokal na bahagdan kaysa sa pambansang
bahagdan, lalo na yaong mga lokal na mamamahayag sa ating mga radyo dito sa Pampanga na madalas ay walang lalim
“Maliwanag
pa sa sikat
ng araw ang
sagot na
makikita at
maririnig
natin arawaraw sa mga
pahayagan,
radio, telebisyon, at
internet.”

victory over the Pacific, many Filipino
soldiers were starving, sick and dying”
Pacific, many Filipino soldiers
were starving, sick and dying. They
somehow recovered at the end of
the war but, sadly, they suffer the
same fate as many of them are still
starving, sick and dying until today.
Considering what they have done
for our country during those times,
they should be treated well, subsidized and taken care of.
***
I know some few war veterans
who haven’t tasted a bit of the government’s assistance to them. No
pensions, no privileges, no perks.
While they will always be a part of
our history with their bravery and
heroism remembered, they deserve
to be given some economic boost
now that they are at their twilight
years.
***
Our war veterans were denied
then of food and water by the Japanese invaders. They are still denied
of sufficient food today by our own
government. They may be revered
as heroes but never given the heroes treatment.
***
Bataan will be visited tomorrow by foreign diplomats, government officials and perhaps the
President to honor and remember
our fallen soldiers who fought the
war in a shrine dedicated to them.
Accolades will be said as expected.
It is during this time that real heroes of the war are highlighted with

Organ trafficking
I was thinking what column to write last Friday morning
while still in bed and switched on
the television to get some ideas. It
was sort of stimulating my brain
to come up with a hot topic to get
through another deadline.
But what I saw on television
gave me the urgency to write
about this certain topic not just
to beat the deadline and come up
with just another column. This
time this column saw print to
warn parents like me to look after
their children.
The crawler news bits on television sent me chills that morning: A missing 4-year old boy was
found dead with his head chopped
off and all internal organs missing.
The news was not only alarming but outright disturbing.
Though police theorized that a
stray dog feasted on the lifeless
body of that child in Pililia, Rizal,
who might have fallen to death off
a steep part of a creek, the family
thinks there is more to the death
than just a wild animal.
This incident highlighted the
probability of an organized crime
preying on children.
When the news broke out about
missing children, I thought that
it was merely the handyworks of
a syndicate snatching children to
make them beg on the streets for
easy money.
But after hearing the news
about the child in Rizal, I am now

Kurt Cobain is found dead
April 8, 1994
On April 8, 1994, rock star Kurt Cobain was found dead
in his home outside Seattle, Washington, with fresh injection marks in both arms and a fatal wound to the head from
the 20-gauge shotgun found between his knees. Cobain’s
suicide brought an end to a life marked by far more suffering than is generally associated with rock superstardom.
But rock superstardom never did sit well with Kurt Cobain,
a committed social outsider who was reluctantly dubbed
the spokesman of his generation. “Success to him seemed
like, I think, a brick wall,” said friend Greg Sage, a musical hero of Cobain’s from the local punk rock scene of the
1980s. “There was nowhere else to go but down.”
Kurt Cobain rose to fame as the leader and chief songwriter of the Seattle-based band Nirvana, the group primarily responsible for turning a thriving regional music scene
in the Pacific Northwest into a worldwide pop-cultural phenomenon often labeled “grunge.” As enormously popular
as Nirvana became in the wake of their era-defining single
“Smells Like Teen Spirit” (1991), it’s easy to forget just how
far outside the mainstream the band really was, and just
how ill-suited to pop celebrity the misanthropic, heroin-addicted Kurt Cobain was. In his suicide note, Cobain wrote: “I
have it good, very good, and I’m grateful, but since the age
of seven, I’ve become hateful towards all humans in general....Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous
stomach for your letters and concern during the past years.
I’m too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don’t have the
passion anymore, and so remember, it’s better to burn out
than to fade away.”
Cobain’s suicide note was found stabbed to a pile of
potting soil with a ballpoint pen, nearby his body in the
greenhouse on his Lake Washington property. It was probably written on or about April 5, 1994—the estimated date
on which Cobain actually shot himself and one day after
Cobain’s rock-star wife, Courtney Love, filed a Missing Person Report stating that Cobain was possibly suicidal and in
possession of a gun. It was not the Seattle police, however,
but a workman inspecting lighting on Cobain’s property
who first discovered Cobain’s body on this day in 1994.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN 21)
Be aware of the distractions at work today. This is one of those times when it is better to sell than to buy.
This applies to material things, but extends to social and romantic relationships as well. This afternoon
you will make the effort to improve the channels of understanding and appreciation between friends.
It could be time now to clear up any past misunderstandings. This afternoon, take some time to enjoy
some lighthearted, after work get-together with your friends. Stay open to the ideas of others. There is a
need for new information, with fresh opinions and alternative ideas in order to fine-tune your goals. You
and your family could join a recreation center--enjoy doing different things together regularly.
CANCER (JUN 22- JUL 22)
Taking time to enjoy this April day before work, may find you feeling upbeat and setting the mood for
a positive day, all day long. This could mean an early morning walk or run for about fifteen minutes
out and fifteen minutes back home. At work you may feel that you have just improved your talents to
think clearly and perhaps above and beyond the usual. Where finances are concerned, moderation
is the key. Of course, you will not want to obligate your finances until you know all the details and
today, there are several opportunities to improve your odds. Partnerships are far more exciting than
you thought. You are attracted to some unusual associates--listen and learn. You may be introduced
to a new romance later today.

might seem attractive in the heat of the moment but might not look so smart when you have checked
out the details. This afternoon you have enough interest in what you are doing for sustained work that
allows you to coordinate or organize your life. You can bring into fruition particular projects or results
from some psychological development. Be wise in your urge for independence. You are coming into a
time of experimenting with new concepts. Having fun with the young people around you this evening
can be quite enjoyable.
LIBRA (SEP. 23 - OCT. 23)
It’s a good time to resolve any difficulties that keep you from your goals. You will see improvements
in many areas of your life . . . you appropriately feel honor and pride. After your workday has ended,
you and your friends may decide it has been too long since everyone gathered in a group and had fun
together. You will help plan a get-together for the near future. This may mean a camping trip or sports
competition or any number of things that create an opportunity to gather and get caught up on each
other’s life situation. You may even see this as a reunion of sorts. Avoid impulsive gambling or speculation for now. You may be prone to romantic infatuations; careful. You have the opportunity to make
responsible choices; listen first.
SCORPIO (OCT. 24- NOV. 21)
Jumping into the flow of work today should be an easy challenge. Change is on the horizon, however,
and you can see it coming. You are coming into a time of experimenting with new concepts and putting
aside the old and learning new methods of working. Progressive people and idealistic groups or concepts play a more important role in your life. A neighborhood crime watch or community organization
meeting is planned this evening. You could be really interested in the political things that are going on
in your city; there are places to volunteer your talents. The process of future planning is successful and
meets everyone’s idea of what they wanted for future changes in the neighborhood. Compromising and
cooperation bring positive results.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 - DEC. 21)
It takes diplomacy, tact and patience to negotiate some strong feelings during an afternoon meeting.
Acting on impulse without sufficient regard for risks can create harm. Slow down and really think about
what you are saying--you will see positive results. After work, you may enjoy spending some time at the
library. Family members have a difference of opinion about religion and you help to find some research
and viewpoints for discussion. You may find yourself searching for the deeper meaning of life and how
it relates to you. Your no-nonsense nature comes under review and you learn to be more spiritual and
yielding to other people. This evening you will enjoy joking around with the young people in your family
or neighborhood.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN 19)
A new sense of self, a more assertive personal style and a more dynamic approach to life are the
hallmarks of this time. Work challenges move along better than usual. Doubts fade into the background
and you are encouraged to do research. Rather than just accepting that which you have been taught
you would begin to seek answers from more than one intelligent source. Getting the facts and making
sure that people get correct information can make all the difference in the world--and any shortcomings in these areas can raise some real problems. Relaxing with your friends and joking around in
positive ways are part and partial of what makes up this evening. You could be included in some team
competition tonight.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 - FEB. 18)
You may decide to find work that is less stressful this year. You may not make this change right away
but instead you stay aware and alert to any changes that look positive. You may prefer to look for work
that has more rewards mentally than monetarily. At least there will be less pressure this year to earn
top money. Becoming an independent contractor may be more appealing for now. This is a long-time
process that you will not want to change overnight, but you will feel that inner determination. Avoid
changes that you know could cause stress on your physical body. It’s time for action; your destiny is in
your hands. This evening you may decide to relax a bit and play some computer games with a young
person in your family.
PISCES (FEB. 19 - MAR. 20)
This morning you continue your exercise routine. This may take the form of bicycling, fast walking or any
other number of other things. Diligence pays. Something that you are good at is fun to do. As you keep
practicing, you get better and then you are thrilled with yourself. In the workplace, joint projects run smoothly.
Something that really seemed difficult before this time is not as hard as you thought. You can breeze through
difficulties and get to the easy parts. Working with others in a business or family concern will also go well.
You will benefit thorough a bit of research before coming up with solutions. Simplify, simplify. In your family,
you teach the three R’s: Respect for self, respect for others, responsibility for all your actions.

Mayors’
League (PML) President
and Candaba Mayor Jerry
Pelayo regarded Pineda as
an action man as he led
his team during the rescue operations last year
in the towns of Sto. Tomas, Minalin, Macabebe
and Apalit after the same
were heavily devastated
by massive flooding.
Pelayo explained it
was only Pineda who voluntarily devoted his personal resources, including
equipment, to save the
people trapped in their
houses by unprecedented
flooding.
“With this gesture of
commitment,” the PML
drafted a letter, unanimously approved by the
mayors, urging Pineda to
run for vice governor.

TOWARDS THE LIGHT from Page 4
“Kami ang pumilit at
nakiusap sa kanya para
humabol na bise gobernador dahil nakita natin
ang kaniyang malasakit
sa mga Kapampangan
lalu na sa mahigpit na
pangangailangan
(We
convinced [Pineda] to
run for vice governor because we were witness to
his genuine concern to
Kapampangans who are
in dire need for help),” Pelayo said.
Pineda is not new to
public service. He has
been one of the key officers of the Mayors’ League
of the Philippines. He is
also the former PML president during his stint as
the local chief executive in
Lubao town for three consecutive terms.
“Mahal po namin dito
sa Kuatro Distrito si Delta dahil hindi niya kami
pinabayaan sa oras ng
aming pangangailangan
(We love Pineda in the
Fourth District because
he did not leave us during desperate times),” said
Melody Zablan, 34, resident of Barangay Poblacion in Sto. Tomas town.
Meanwhile, the Junkshop
Operators
and
Workers
Association
in Pampanga likewise
vowed an all-out support
on the political plan of the
younger Pineda.
“Malaki ang naitulong sa amin ni Governor
Lilia Pineda pati na ng
kaniyang anak. Ngayon

ganitong pansin (Governor Lilia Pineda and her
son haved helped us tre-
mendously. It is only now
that we were given this
much attention),” Carlos
Cayanan, vice president of
the Floridablanca Junkshop Association, said.
The mayor likewise
spearheaded a comprehensive
development
and assistance programs
for the gay sector here,
through
coordination
with Rosas, a gay organization that originated in
Sta. Rita town.
“Iboboto namin si Vice
Governor Dennis basta
tulungan din niya kaming mga bakla dito sa
Candaba (We will vote
for him if he will support
us gays in Candaba),” said
Rustico “Chantal” Aga, 19,

Pineda said she will ensure the improvement of the agricultural production of the some 32,000 farmers
in the province. She launched the Pampanga Agricultural Modernization Program (PAMP) 2016 shortly after
she assumed her post in 2010.
The 62-year-old governor appealed to all candidates to avoid mudslinging and instead explain their platforms of government.
Pineda is running in tandem with her son, former Lubao Mayor Dennis Pineda, as her vice governor.
“I give you the freedom to choose if you will vote for my son. I will not campaign for him. I just want you to
ask about his background,” said Pineda. ●
TWIN AIRPORT from Page 1
This was one of the 18 projects approved for Central Luzon during an RDC meeting held in this city
led RDC chair Mayor Oscar Rodriguez.
“We should ensure that we have sufficient budgets to allocate for our priority programs,” he said.
The Twin Airport project is embedded in the
2014 budget of the Department of Agrarian Reform
(DAR) Region 3, which has been approved by the
RDC 3 Sectoral Committee on Economic Development.
The DAR initiative, for which P57 million is allocated, aims to make the Clark airport “as competent” as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in
Metro Manila, and to services to travellers that are
similar to NAIA’s.
“Tayo lang ang mayroong ganitong facilities sa
Pilipinas,” the mayor said.
Another major undertaking approved by the RDC
is the proposed “Central Bulacan Tourism Loop”
that will involve the upgrading of 25 road sections
under the “Convergence Program for Enhancing
Tourism Access.”
Other projects approved involve irrigation, highways, education, skills development, education, and
health initiatives around the region. The council
also approved increased budgets for the different
departments of RDC-3.
Also present at the meeting were RDC Secretary Victor B. Ubaldo (NEDA 3 OIC-Assistant Regional Director), Vice-Chairman Severino C. Santos
(NEDA 3 Regional Director), Gov. Hermogenes E.
Ebdane Jr. (SCDA Chairman and Governor, Province of Zambales), Gov. Bellaflor Angara-Castillo

​“The values of truth and honesty, of compassion and service to the people, are not lacking in many Filipino media
practitioners. What they lack—ironic for professionals whose
practice depends upon it—is INFORMATION. The need is
apparent for continuing education on this as well as other issues, not collaboration with government, which, in any case,
has its particular agenda to follow, and with which media can
enter into a partnership only at their peril.”
Ito ang mga dahilan kung bakit kailangan akuin ng Pinoy

P10,000 for second and third honorable mention and P5,000 for sixth to tenth honors.
This assistance is subject to conditions provided in the ordinance numbers 484 and 493
passed by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan in
2011.
The governor said she is not asking payback for everything that her administration
has been doing for the sake of the youth, all she
wants is for them to be good students and children to their parents.
“Education is not only measured with impressive and high grades, it is also about character and behavior towards your parents and to
other people,” she told the students.
Regine Palao, a parent from Barangay Kaduang Tete of this town, said until the assistance
of the provincial government she is uncertain
of the college enrolment of her daughter who
graduated valedictorian.
“My husband is a tricycle driver and I am
a plain housewife, I don’t think we can send
our daughter to college without the assistance
of Gov. Pineda. The financial assistance will be
used for her daily allowance,” Palao narrated.
For the past two school years, the provincial
government has assisted 5,000 college scholars.
The scholarship is one of the numerous
programs under the education agenda of the
provincial government that targets high literacy rate in the province. This is aside from the
constructions of classrooms, comfort rooms,
covered courts, establishment of Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University
and augmentation of building at the Philippine

citizens are advised to get vaccinated against influenza before the flu season begins in June.
According to the DOH, loose bowel movement can be avoided if the public will be cautious of street
foods and even with those prepared for out-of-town trips.
Skin diseases abound when one swims in dirty water or poorly maintained public swimming pools.
The public is advised to take a bath before and after plunging into the pool.
For dog bites, wounds should be washed and cared for. If a person sustains dog bites, he or she should
visit the animal bite center to get anti-rabies vaccination.●

Paano naibalik yung confidence
niya?
“Para kausapin ka nga ni Mr.
M, iba yun, kasi hindi naman nagsasalita yun.”
Ano naman ang reaksyon ni
Carlo na nabuhay ulit ang breakup
nila noon ni Angelica Panganiban?
Sa latest interview kasi ng aktres para sa Star Studio magazine
ay inungkat ang lovelife niya. Sa artikulo, ang sinasabing dahilan ng
breakup nina Angelica at Carlo ay
niligawan ng aktor si Camille Prats
habang ka-on niya si Angelica.
“Hindi ko alam, e. Ano’ng sabi
niya?” reaksiyon ni Carlo.
“Ang tagal-tagal na yun. Ang
tanda-tanda ko na.
“Hindi ko alam kung ano ang
sinabi niya.
“Opinyon naman niya yun, e.
Wala naman ako sa lugar para
magsalita.
“E, totoo lang naman na tao yun,
e, kung ano ang sasabihin niya…”
So, inaamin niya ang mga sinabi
ni Angelica?
“Oo,” mabilis niyang sagot.
Pero dagdag ni Carlo, “Bata pa
naman ako noon, e.”
Sabi rin ni Angelica, hindi naggrow ang relationship ni Carlo.
“Kasi bata pa po kasi kami,” diin
ng 27-year-old actor nang hingan
ng reaksiyon dito.
Kumusta na sila ni Angelica ka-
pag nagkikita ngayon?
“Okey naman. Hindi ko na
maalala kung gaano na kami katagal hindi nagkita.
“Last year pa. Birthday ni John
[Prats] sa Banana Split. Yun ang
pinakahuli kong naalala.
“Okey naman kami. Wala namang problema.
“Pumupunta pa ako noon sa
bahay nila ni Derek [Ramsay]. Tumatambay kami sa may Posadas,
sa may Sucat.”
Kung si Angelica ay masaya na
sa piling ng bagong boyfriend nito
na si John Lloyd Cruz, si Carlo ay
masaya rin sa kanyang girlfriend
na si Kristine Nieto.
Si Kristine ay dating miyembro
ng all-girl group na Eurasia.
Ilang years na sila?
“Magti-three,” sagot ni Carlo.
Hindi pa sila magpapakasal?
“Ipon muna… hirap ng buhay.”
Hindi pa rin daw nila napag-uusapan ang kasal.
“Yung mga parents namin, napag-uusapan nila. Okey naman,
ini-entertain ko lang.”
Sigurado na ba siya sa girlfriend
niya ngayon?
“Ano bang sigurado? Oo, mahal
ko siya, pero ano ba…?”
Si Kristine na ba ang babaeng
gusto niyang makasama habambuhay?
“Oo, puwede. Hindi ko lang
alam when kasi baka may mangyari sa pagitan ng plano,” sabi ni
Carlo.
Hindi ba siya naiinggit sa ibang
ka-batch niya na may sarili nang
pamilya?
“Ang mainggit ay masama. Magiipon muna ako,” sagot niya.

A new Carlo Aquino at ABS-CBN
CARLO
AQUINO
Nagbabalik sa ABS-CBN at Star
Magic ang award-winning actor na
si Carlo Aquino.
Ang unang proyekto ni Carlo sa
kanyang pagbabalik sa Kapamilya
network ay ang guest role niya sa
teleseryeng Dugong Buhay.
One week lang siyang
mapapanood sa seryeng ito ngunit, base sa
teaser na ipinakita sa
press, markado ang ginagampanan niyang papel bilang batang Simon
(Noni Buencamino).
Maaliwalas ang aura
ni Carlo nang makausap
namin siya.
Noong isang araw ang
grand launch ng Dugong
Buhay ngunit na-late ng dating ang
27-year-old actor dahil galing pa
siya sa team-building ng cast ng
Anna Liza sa Tagaytay.
Ang remake ng Anna Liza ang
susunod na proyekto ni Carlo sa
ABS-CBN.
Tinanong si Carlo kung ano ang
ginawa niya nang nag-lie low siya sa
showbiz.
Sabi ng dating child actor, “Nagbusiness ng tarpaulin printing.
Ngayon, may food truck na ako at
saka yung farm.
“Kaya lang, eto talaga yung hanap, e… maligaya ako pag umaarte.
“Kaya lang, noon kasi… napipressure ako sa gusto ng tao.
“Masyado kong iniisip kung
ano’ng sasabihin ko ba. Ayaw ko
kasi magkamali, e.
“Natatakot ako, pag nag-fail,
kung anu-ano ang sasabihin ng mga
tao. Yun ang ayaw ko.
“Nakalimutan ko ang mag-enjoy.
Masyado akong, ‘Eto dapat.’
“Sobrang gusto kong
ipakita kung ano ang
kaya ko.
“Sa kakaisip ko, hindi
ko nagagawa.”
Okey na ba siya ngayon sa kanyang pagbabalik?
“Oo. Mas nai-enjoy ko
na,” sagot ni Carlo.
Hindi ba siya bumalik sa school nang hindi
siya masyadong active sa
showbiz?
Sagot niya, “Hindi…
hindi.
“Pero baka ngayon pumasok ako
sa McKinley. Pero hindi pa sure.
“Kasi nga kababalik ko lang sa
ABS, e. Excited pa ako. May taping
nga ako sa Friday.
Ano ang reaksiyon niya na marami ang natuwa nang makita siya
sa teaser ng Dugong Buhay at nagpapamalas na naman ng galing at
lalim sa pag-arte?
Sabi ni Carlo, “Masaya ako na
nandito ulit, lalo na sa pagtanggap
ni Mr. M [Johnny Manahan, Star
Magic head] sa akin ulit.
“Yung ni-request ako ni Ms.
Charo [Santos-Concio, ABS-CBN
president] sa MMK. Binigyan ako
ng ABS ng ikabubuhay.
“Ngayon, may Anna Liza… so-
Sunshine Cruz malabong
makipagbalikan kay Cesar Montano?
Matapos ang kontrobersyal na pakikipaghiwalay sa asawang si
Cesar Montano, nagbabalikshowbiz si Sunshine Cruz at
ang seryeng Dugong Buhay
ng ABS-CBN na pinagbibidahan nina Ejay Falcon at
Arjo Atayde ang kanyang
comeback project.
Sa presscon last Wednesday night para sa nasabing
serye ay dumalo si Shine
at natanong sa kanya kung
bakit siya na-convince ng
ABS-CBN na tanggapin ang
Dugong Buhay bilang comeback project.
“ABS-CBN ’yan, eh, sino
ba naman ang hindi mago-oo,” she answered. “And of course, it’s
a great opportunity for me to work with
lahat po ng artistang nandito at kay Direk
Toto (Natividad) at sa gawa ni Direk Carlo
J. Caparas na naging mentor ko rin before
when I was 17.
“So, it’s a great honor that I was chosen
to play the mom of Arjo and Ejay dito sa
Dugong Buhay.”
Bagama’t may cameo si Sunshine sa Be
Careful with my Heart bilang yumaong
asawa ni Sir Chief (Richard Yap), sandali
lang naman iyon at ito talagang Dugong
Buhay ang maituturing niyang comeback
project.
“Thirteen years na nag-lie low ako, I
would do some guestings lang sa mga teleserye, ito ’yung una ulit after a while na
regular ko,” she said.
As we all know, dati ay naka-concentrate lang si Shine sa kanyang mister na si
Cesar at tatlong anak.
Pero ngayong hiwalay na sila, of course,
kailangan naman niyang kumayod para
magkaroon ng sariling income.
Sa presscon, hindi maiwasang mapagusapan ang bagong buhay ngayon ni
Shine at ang posibilidad ng pagbabalikan
with Buboy.
Umiiwas siyang sagutin ang tungkol sa
reconciliation pero nilinaw niyang hindi
niya ipinagdadamot ang
mga bata sa kanilang
ama.
“And I’m proud to say
that Buboy is a very, very
good parent to our children. Kaya bilang ganu’n
na mabuting ama siya,
wala akong karapatan na
ipagdamot sa kanya ang
mga anak ko. Kasi hindi
ako ganu’ng tao,” she said.
Hindi ba nagkaroon
ng galit ang mga bata kay
Cesar?
“There was a time na
nagkaroon sila ng konting hinanakit kasi nakakapagbasa na ’yan, naggu-Google na
’yan. It’s really hard to explain, so, I told
them to ask their daddy about it. Kasi ano
ang gagawin ko? Sisiraan ko?
“Hindi ako ganoon. I’ve never been
that way. Though minsan, nag-i-snap
tayo, nagagalit tayo at nagpo-post tayo ng
kung anu-ano. But I think karapatan ko
’yon bilang asawa dahil kahit sino ’yon, eh,
ganoon ang mararamdaman,” pahayag ni
Shine.
Nakapagpatawad na ba siya?
“Siguro nga, kaya nakakangiti ako at
masaya ako ngayon, nakapagpatawad na
tayo,” she revealed.
Sa kabila ng nangyari, masasabi ba niyang naging mabuting asawa sa kanya si
Buboy?
“He is very generous and he’s a sweet
person. Kaya lang, lahat naman tayo, sa
totoo lang, lahat, bilang tao, may weakness.”
Sa tanong kung bakit tila yata naging
madali para sa kanya ang pagpapatawad,
say ng aktres, “Kristiyano tayo, eh. Mahirap magtanim ng sama ng loob, dadami
wrinkles natin diyan.”
Is love still there?
“Of course, kapag ang isang tao minahal mo, you want what will make him
brang ang daming nangyari.
“Heto, ini-interview niyo ako
ulit.”
Bakit umalis siya sa Viva Artists
Agency?
Ayon kay Carlo, “One year nang
wala.
“Kinausap kasi ako ni Mr. M.
Nag-anniversary sa ASAP. Pinagguest yung mga dating nasa show.
Pinatawag niya.
“Sabi niya, ‘O, ano? Are we good
enough for you now?’
“’Hindi naman po ganoon, Mr.
M.’
“’Hindi, joke lang. Babalik ka na
ba?’
“Sagot ko, ‘Kung puwede lang po
sana. Gusto ko pong magtrabaho
ulit.’
“Sabi niya, kausapin mo si Nanay
Cris [Navarro, handler niya sa Star
Magic] mo. Ipahanda mo ang kontrata.’
“Para tanggapin ka ng ganoon,
sobrang happy ko talaga at pasalamat.”
Nagsimula si Carlo bilang child
actor sa mga palabas ng ABS-CBN
at mga pelikula ng Star Cinema.
Ibig bang sabihin ay hindi siya
kuntento sa Viva?
“Hindi ganoon. Tapos na yung
kontrata,” paglilinaw ni Carlo.
May regrets ba siya na umalis
siya sa ABS-CBN?
Sagot ni Carlo, “Wala naman kasi
nabigyan naman ako ng Viva ng Bituing Walang Ningning.
“At saka kasi yung pagsisisi sigSHOWBIZ Page 7

happy. Kung ano ang makakapagpasaya
sa kanya, kung saan siya masaya, so, let
it be.
“The love, I will not deny that he’s my
first boyfriend, my first everything. So,
ang pagmamahal na ’yan, kahit naman
sa kanya, sinabi ko, it will always be there.
Hindi mawawala ’yan kasi talagang minahal mo at marami kang isinakripisyo
para sa taong ’yon.
“Kahit pa siguro magkaroon pa kami
ng iba’t ibang buhay, nandiyan ’yung pagmamahal ko sa kanya dahil siya ang tatay
ng mga anak namin. At kamukhangkamukha niya ang bunso naming anak.
Mayroon akong little Buboy na babae,”
say pa ni Sunshine.
Hiningan din ng reaksyon ang aktres
tungkol sa latest pronouncement ni Krista
Miller na gusto siyang makausap nito.
Pero umiwas na siyang sagutin pa ito.
“’Yung Dugong Buhay, maganda, panoorin n’yo on April 8,” nakangiti niyang
tugon saka nagpaalam sa mga umiinterbyu sa kanya.
Angelica Panganiban di pa naka-move-on
sa separation nila ni Derek Ramsay
TAHIMIK na ang bida
ng “Kidlat” sa issue nila
ni Angelica Panganiban. Kasi, mahigit nang
isang taon silang hiwalay. Tapos, may ibang
ka-affair si Angelica, si
John Lloyd Cruz. Kaya
nagtataka si Derek kung
bakit may lumabas na
namang issue sa kanila
ni Angelica. Akala ni
Derek ay naka-move on
na si Angelica.
Bilang
gentleman,
hindi na nag-comment
si Derek. Focused si
Derek sa “Kidlat,” ang
first hit action adventure
ng Kapatid Network.
Samantala, itinanggi
ni Derek na may relasyon sila ngayon ni Cristalle Henares. Friends
lang daw sila at kung nakikita mang magkasama
sila ay dahil endorser
din ng Belo si Derek.
