SP approves 

thermometers 

purchase 

By BuTCH guNio 


Third District Board Member 

Monina “Monz” Laus, chairperson 

of the Committee on Health, 

has worked for the approval of 

the Sangguniang Panlalawigan 

resolution allocating P300,000 

budget for the purchase of digital 

thermometers. 

Relative to this, the Provincial 

Health Office (PHO) will tap the 

public elementary school teachers 

to act as front-liners and 

responders in the fight against 

dengue through regular monitoring 

of the health condition of 

the students. 

Dr. Marcelo Jaochico, PHO 

officer, said most of the children 

are staying in school for almost 

eight hours a day, hence, teachers 

could be utilized for health monitoring. 

“Hinihingi namin sa mga guro 

na sila ang magmonitor sa kalagayan 

ng mga bata lalo na iyong 

mukhang may karamdaman 

upang agad silang maagapan,” 

Jaochico said. 

Gov. Lilia “Nanay” Pineda said 

she will instruct the PHO to distribute 

the digital thermometer 

to all grade levels in public elementary 

schools in the province 

by the end of July. 

“We will advise the teachers 

to check the temperature of the 

students before and after class 

for any possible changes in their 

health condition,” Jaochico said. 

The PHO officer added that 

if they discover something irregular, 

the concerned teachers 

could immediately advise the 

parents and take the students to 

the nearest rural health unit or 

district hospital. 

“Importante talaga ang agarang 

pagdidistribute ng mga 

thermometer sa mga eskwela 

upang di na dumami pa ang mga 

biktima ng dengue,” she said. ●

PILAR, Bataan—Alice D. 

Pizarro, wife of incumbent 

Mayor Charlie F. Pizarro of 

this town, if elected mayor 

in the next local election, 

will further go with more 

tourism-oriented projects in 

this municipality. 

Pizarro, during her brief 

talk with reporters on 

Thursday, said she will con- 

tinue with tourism-oriented 

projects in the municipality 

where the Mt. Samat Shrine 

is located. 

She said more develop- 

ment projects will be imple- 

mented in the coming years 

not far from the Dunsulan 

Falls and the Mt. Samat 

Shrine where hundreds, if 

not thousands foreign and 

local tourists, converge 

yearly.

CITY OF SAN FERNAN- 

DO—The Department of La- 

bor and Employment (Dole), 

in partnership with the provin- 

cial government, had granted 

P1 million for the “Nego Kart” 

livelihood program to some 

110 ambulant vendors from the 

20 municipalities and one city 

of the province at the Benigno 

Hall, Capitol Compound Fri- 

day. 

Governor Lilia “Nanay” G. 

Pineda, who led the distribu- 

tion, will provide financial as- 

sistance worth P550,000 for 

the 110 recipients to further 

ensure the success of the liveli- 

hood project. 

According to Raymundo 

Agravante, regional director of 

DOLE-III, the distribution of 

nego karts is a regular project of 

the agency and is part of its effort 

to provide alternative source of 

livelihood for the workers from 

the informal sector. 

“Hindi man natin mabigyan 

ng trabaho sa pormal na sector 

ang bawat mamamayan, patu- 

loy pa rin ang ating pagsisikap 

na mabigyan ng marangal at 

magandang kabuhayan ang 

bawat Kapampangan,” Agra- 

vante stressed. 

Agravante also added that 

they will also conduct evalua- 

tions after six months and after 

a year to gauge the success of 

the project and the impact to 

the beneficiaries. 

It was also learned that close 

monitoring of the dispatch- 

ing of nego kart units will also 

be performed by the agency in 

cooperation with the local em- 

ployment offices. 

Public Employment Service 

Office (PESO) Manager Lun- 

ingning Vergara said that 15 

nego karts were initially dis- 

tributed while the remaining 

95 units will be released before 

the end of this month. 

Aurelia Bondoc, a resident 

of Barangay San Basilio in Sta. 

Rita town and one of the first 

recipients of nego kart, has 

been selling fruits for more 

than 20 years and was very 

grateful for the government’s 

support to ambulant vendors 

like herself. 

“Matagal na akong nagla- 

lako ng prutas para sa kabu- 

hayan ng aming pamilya. Na- 

pakalaking tulong ng nego kart 

na ito upang lalong mapabilis 

ang aking pagbebenta,” Bon- 

doc shared. 

“Nagpapasalamat tayo sa 

patuloy na suporta ng DOLE 

sa mga livelihood projects ng 

probinsya. Kaya patuloy tayong 

magsikap upang lalong makita 

ng ahensiya na lumalago ang 

mga kabuhayan at iba pang 

proyektong kanilang inilulun- 

sad dito sa Pampanga,” Pineda 

ended. 

The governor was also 

joined by Board Member Olga 

Frances “Fritzie” David-Dizon, 

and Provincial Cooperative 

and Entrepreneurial Develop- 

ment Officer Mamerto Gatus. ●

ANGELES CITY—The 

Department of Trade and 

Industry (DTI) Region 3 

started accepting Friday ap- 

plications for Import Com- 

modity Clearance (ICC) 

stickers of motorcycle hel- 

mets in all of its offices across 

Central Luzon. 

DTI regional information 

officer Wilfred Carbonell 

said “Section 6 of Republic 

Act 10054 otherwise known 

as the Motorcycle Helmet Act 

of 2009 mandates our agency 

to be the lead determinant in 

the quality of helmets out in 

the market.” 

Under the law, all riders 

including the back-riders are 

obliged to wear ICC-marked 

helmets in order to curb the 

rising number of deaths in 

motorcycle accidents that is 

frequently caused by the ab- 

sence or substandard protec- 

tive gears. 

RA 10054 does not cover 

tricycles and other similar 

modes of transportation such 

as pedicabs. 

Based from the law’s Im- 

plementing Rules and Regu- 

lations that was released re- 

cently, all helmets to be sold 

beginning 2012 must bear 

the ICC mark. 

Carbonell added “for mo- 

torcycle riders whose hel- 

mets were purchased prior 

to 2012, they are required to 

go to the nearest DTI office to 

obtain the ICC sticker.” 

DTI will be processing ICC 

sticker applications for free 

until September 30, 2012. 

Land Transportation Of- 

fice will begin to implement 

the new measure on August 1 

where stiffer penalties await 

violators. ●

Tasteless 

traffic jam 

headliNe 


JULY 23-24, 2012 

The Department of Public Works and 

Highways in Central Luzon should make 

good its promise that the construction of 

a fly-over and the concrete pavement of 

the Jose Abad Santos Avenue in the City 

of San Fernando will be completed by August 

this year. 

Traffic jams, not only during rush hours, 

are now a frequent sight along JASA, the 

interprovincial highway that slices through 

the very heart of Pampanga. Traffic gridlock, 

as well as lack of parking space and 

disorderly road construction, has become 

a bane for San Fernando’s businessmen 

and an inconvenient gift to motorists plying 

JASA. 

Of course, everybody welcomes the development 

that the new fly-over and the 

elevated concrete road would bring for 

the province but this is no reason for the 

DPWH and its contractor(s) to prolong the 

agony of motorists and businessmen due 

to the slow-paced construction of these 

vital projects. 

People have noticed the seemingly deliberate 

step of the contractors of sending 

only a few heavy equipment and workers 

to construct such huge projects. Construction 

firms undertaking such multi-million 

projects should be capable of delivering 

the works satisfactorily and quickly. This 

is not the case in the fly-over and JASA 

road repair constructions. 

Had it not for the intervention of the provincial 

and city government, the construction 

had not been facilitated albeit still a 

bit slower in the eyes of the common folk. 

Massive projects such as these should 

also involve proper traffic management 

and planning to mitigate the inconvenience 

to motorists and businessmen, who 

are supposed to be afforded relief by the 

soon-to-be-completed projects. 

Traffic, dust and unavailability of parking 

spaces due to excavations are, indeed, 

killing businesses that are hoped to 

flourish further when road networks and 

other infrastructures are in place. 

Let us hope that while the government 

is spending billions of pesos to line up infrastructures 

to boost local and national 

economy no existing business will die in 

the process.

Sure win for Mabalacat City 

“Mabalacat businessmen, who will eventually be the most important sector to 

propel the income of the soon-to-be city, are supporting the cityhood.” 

I have no doubt that the proposed 

conversion of Mabalacat into a component 

city will be approved in the plebiscite 

by the Mabalaqueños. So, as of this 

writing, I am congratulating the people 

behind the “Yes to Mabalacat City” campaign 

for they will all be rejoicing for the 

success of their cause as soon as this article 

sees print. 

In the history of the country, there 

are only a few towns who failed to get 

the nod of their constituents in their bid 

to become cities. 

More often than not, a town’s aspiration 

to become either a component 

city or highly-urbanized city gets overwhelming 

vote in the plebiscite even 

as oppositions are mounted and heavy 

campaign for “no” are carried out. 

Just recently, Imus in Cavite joined 

the roll of newly created cities after 

20,438 of its residents voted for its conversion 

in a plebiscite held last June 28. 

It was only a few weeks since Bacoor, 

also from Cavite, was declared a city 

following a victory of the “yes” vote in a 

separate plebiscite. 

Why? Even at face value—meaning, 

we are not yet talking about the economic 

gains of cityhood—more people 

in town will go on to vote “yes” for the 

cityhood. Those who are not pondering 

too much on things (mababaw, in harsher 

term) will probably be for cityhood 

especially those who like the sound be 

being called as “one from the city.” 

Remember how the people from 

the province (promdi) were prejudiced 

as against their counterparts belonging 

to modern cities? In this modern age of 

THIS DAY IN HISTORY 

computers, such a thought 

still creates a psychological 

barrier on people. 

Taking on the issue of 

cityhood deeper, further 

makes the Mabalacat City 

advocacy more acceptable 

to majority of the people. 

Economic gains of a city 

are staggering if we are 

to look into what have become 

of those places that 

were recently elevated 

to the city level. Further, 

those cities that have been 

declared component cities 

for a long time are now 

being pushed to become 

highly-urbanized cities, 

meaning they can now 

stand on their own without the support 

of their respective provincial governments. 

Take the case of Cabanatuan City 

in Nueva Ecija. Compared to the City of 

San Fernando in Pampanga, the Ecija 

component city is not as accessible as the 

2nd city of Pampanga. However, the economic 

gains that Cabanatuan had in the 

past few years since it was converted into 

a city have been very significant that it is 

now gearing to be an independent city. 

Even with the initial application 

of a town to become a city, it already 

needs to fulfil requirements in population, 

land area and, most importantly, 

income. Malabacat has satisfied all the 

basic requirements as a proof that it is 

in itself able to collect enough money to 

support its expenditures. 

Even Vice President Jejomar 

Binay, an authority in 

city matters, has congratulated 

the local government unit 

of Mabalacat for its cityhood 

hopes. Binay’s commendation 

for Mayor Marino Morales, by 

all means, does not come from 

nowhere but from a person 

who knows by heart what a city 

status could bring about to the 

people. 

Mabalacat businessmen, 

who will eventually be the most 

important sector to propel the 

income of the soon-to-be city, 

are supporting the cityhood. 

With the vice president 

and the businessmen going for 

cityhood, who will be against it? 

Well, like in many a world’s stage, 

there should always be protagonists and 

antagonists to complete the cast of a 

lively and interesting show. The antagonists 

in the Mabalacat Cityhood zarzuela 

now seemed to be actual stage actors 

who were given scripts to follow to either 

malign or maul the lead actors only to 

end up losing to the delight of the audience. 

They are just a part of the show so 

important, that without them the performance 

will be uninteresting and dull. 

Vice Mayor Noel Castro and other 

oppositions to the cityhood campaign 

did a very good job in showing to the 

people the pros and cons of cityhood. 

Thanks to them, many Mabalaqueños 

were properly informed about what they 

are voting for and it really matters now 

what they wrote on the ballot. ● 

Jul 23, 1988: Guns N’ Roses make popular breakthrough with “Sweet Child O’ Mine” 

In the 1980s, Los Angeles was a mecca for 

so-called “glam rock” bands and the “sex, drugs 

and rock and roll” lifestyle with which they came 

to be associated. On any given night inside 

clubs like the Troubadour and the Whisky a Go 

Go, you could not only hear bands like Hanoi 

Rocks and Mötley Crüe or, later, Winger and 

Warrant, but you could also witness an expression 

of that lifestyle as decadent as any the music 

world had seen. The rise of “grunge” bands 

like Nirvana and alternative rock effectively put 

an end to that scene in the early 1990s, but the 

first blow was struck by one of their own: Guns 

N’ Roses, the band that made its big popular 

breakthrough on July 23, 1988, when their first 

hit single, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” entered the 

Billboard Top 40. 

Upper Cut 

Ambet LAcAnLALe 

To the guys in pop-metal groups like Poison, 

Guns N’ Roses might have seemed at first to be 

just another fellow hair band, but Axl Rose and 

the rest of the classic GN’R lineup—Slash, Izzy 

Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler—were 

interested in rock and roll that was much more 

raw, angry and honest than what the pop-metal 

bands were playing. Originally formed out of the 

ashes of two other groups—L.A. Guns and Hollywood 

Rose—Guns N’ Roses played in a style 

that owed much more to the pure hard rock of 

the 1970s than to the showy heavy metal of the 

1980s. Signed to Geffen in 1986, GN’R released 

their first full-length album, Appetite For Destruction, 

the following summer, and with it their debut 

single, “Welcome To The Jungle.” Appetite 

For Destruction would eventually be certified 

15-times Platinum, and “Welcome To The Jungle” 

would become a massively popular Top 

10 hit, but neither the album nor its first single 

was an immediate success. It took nearly a year 

of touring and the release of a second single, 

“Sweet Child O’ Mine,” to earn Guns N’ Roses a 

place in music history. 

Built around an opening riff that GN’R guitarist 

Slash considered a silly throwaway, “Sweet 

Child O’ Mine” went on to become not just a #1 

hit on this day in 1988, but also a true rock classic. 

Voted onto “greatest” lists by Rolling Stone, 

Blender, the RIAA, BBC and the like, “Sweet 

Child O’ Mine” made stars out of Guns N’ 

Roses, and it made so-called “power ballads” 

like Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” seem 

weak by comparison. ---history.com

The spate of natural

Ageing with grace 

with equanimity and peace. Allow 

me to share it here with you. 

What is God trying to make of 

us in our later years? How can we 

make some sense of their diminishment 

and pain? Can the often 

bitter water of these years ever be 

turned into wine? 

Old age is terrifying to most 

of us: we need help to navigate it 

well. Occasionally we meet wisdom 

figures who help us 

to see the way forward, 

people who have come to 

terms with the reality of 

their own ageing. They 

are just themselves; they 

are not “difficult”—or at 

least not for long. Love 

flows through them to 

those around, even if 

they’ve had a stroke and 

can hardly talk. If you 

can find such people, try 

to be like them. If you can 

become as they are, you 

will be a blessing for the world. 

Some level of experience of 

God as being good is needed in 

order to face the final stage of our 

journey. From God – whether we 

recognise it or not – there comes 

est terrors that will overtake 

mankind and trigger his destruction, 

of health, properties 

and livelihood is humongous 

garbage generation. 

Before the mushrooming of 

fast-food chains the only kind 

of refuse we have in 

abundance are tin 

cans from cooking oil, 

milk, sardines and 

bottles from sodas 

and cardboard boxes 

from wholesale detergent 

powder, and even 

bath soap bars which 

are among the general 

merchandise patronized 

from consumers 

A to D bracket. The 

packaging in the early 

days had no plastic 

content. 

This practice too has disappeared 

with the shift from tin 

cans to plastic. While tin cans 

can be flattened or rust to become 

part of the soil, plastic sachets 

from sardines to instant 

viand, to toothpaste and shampoo 

down to the condiments for 

instant flavors then add the rise 

of instant noodles, are an entirely 

different repulsive story. The 

partial list is only “a tip of the 

iceberg” and must be reasons 

enough why we are experiencing 

so many changes in our environment. 

● 

to us “all that is good” (Eucharistic 

Prayer 4). We do well to reflect 

on this. We come to see that our 

development to our present stage 

of life required us to let go of previous, 

comfortable stages. While 

we may have resisted, something—or 

Someone!—was pushing 

us on till eventually we had to 

let go. This pushing was for our 

good—like the pushing involved 

in giving birth. It brought us to 

something better. 

This process continues in our 

final years. The final push and 

letting go, which is our dying, 

will bring us something incomparably 

better than we now have. 

Only with empty hands can we 

grasp what is before us. A wise 

and good God orchestrates our 

ageing. So we can entrust ourselves 

to the process, believing 

that God will reveal to us new 

vistas of what human life is truly 

about, what ‘no eye has seen, nor 

ear heard, nor the human heart 

conceived—what God has prepared 

for those who love him’ (1 

Corinthians 2:9). 

Till next time. May your week 

be blessed. ●

Gov. Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pineda is 

inviting all Kapampangans to join her 

in this journey that will transform 

Pampanga into a place where peace 

and prosperity abound. 

The moment Governor Nanay set 

foot in the highest hierarchy of public 

service in the province, she eagerly 

started to work for the realization of 

this trip to peace and tranquility. 

She has done a thorough study on 

the peace and order situation. She 

discovered the scarcity of the police 

force; inadequate number of service 

vehicles and lack of motivation of the 

village police or “tanods” in the performance 

of their duties. 

Never minding the situation, the 

governor applies the old cliché, “If 

there is a will, there is a way”. 

Yes, it is the determination of Nanay 

Gob to pursue her dream of making 

Pampanga a peaceful place to live in 

which paved the way for the Capitol to 

respond to the needs of the Provincial 

Police Office. 

With the able leadership of Police 

Senior Superintendent Edgardo 

Tinio, police director, the police have 

designed a master plan on how to address 

the problem on the scarcity of 

police force to oversee the peace and 

order. 

They tapped and activated the 

services and volunteerism of 10,000 

barangay tanods of the province who 

serve as force multipliers. 

These village police underwent 

trainings on how to solve petty crimes, 

conduct dialogues and proper coordination 

with the PNP and AFP. Aside 

from this, they were given baton and 

uniforms for their daily patrols. 

Through the initiative of Governor 

Nanay, police personnel were given capacity 

and capability-building seminar 

to update their knowledge and skills in 

crime prevention. She allotted budget 

for the construction and rehabilitation 

of police stations and gave them communication 

equipment for intelligence 

and network. 

To make sure that no one is left 

in this endeavor, Governor Nanay 

distributed motorcycle patrols to all 

the more than 500 barangays of this 

province to be used by the tanods for 

crime prevention and emergencies. 

Doing a math here, 1,058 skilled and 

trained-police personnel plus 10,000 

indomitable tanods, we now have 

11,058 abled-men to protect the more 

than two million Kapampangans. 

Now, these men are ready to usher 

the Kapampangans toward the road of 

emerging peace and prosperity. 

Nanay gob realizes that the preparation 

for the journey is not easy. 

It requires enough time, resources 

and sacrifices. Nonetheless, she has 

worked for it and is continuously 

working to achieve the Kapampangans’ 

dream of peace and order in the 

province. 

Yes, the journey starts here. Nanay 

Gov is ready to take the lead but she 

needs the support of every Kapampangan 

for this journey to succeed. 

Peace and order is not the sole responsibility 

of the police, armed forces 

and the political leaders. Everyone is 

accountable. You and I have the role. 

Let’s contribute for the realization of 

this dream of making Pampanga, a 

land of peace and prosperity. 

Always consider this catchphrase, 

“Basta Alagang Nanay, Serbisyong Tunay”. 

Now tell me who’s afraid to take 

the challenge of this journey?

NEWS 

In a move to get cybersecurity 

legislation approved before 

the Senate recess, Sen. Joseph 

Lieberman (I-Conn.) and four 

colleagues introduced a modified 

version of their proposed cybersecurity 

legislation that adds 

privacy protections for consumers 

and removes government 

mandated security standards. 

Republicans had opposed the 

initial version of the Democratbacked 

bill, introduced in February, 

because it called for the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) to assess power companies, 

utilities, and other firms 

that operate critical infrastructure 

for security problems and 

create performance standards -- 

provisions that were considered 

too regulatory and restrictive 

on businesses by Republicans in 

the Senate. 

The new version also allows 

information sharing among private 

firms and the federal government 

on threats, incidents, 

and best practices, while preserving 

the civil liberties and 

privacy of users. That change 

came at the behest of civil libertarians 

who complained that 

the measure was too broad and 

could authorize wiretapping. 

Senators introduce new cybersecurity 

bill 

A compromise was needed 

in order for the measure to get 

at least 60 votes in the Senate. 

Lieberman acknowledged that 

the amended measure was watered 

down some, but uggested

JULY 23-24, 2012 

US Senators soften latest 

cyber security measure 

Lawmakers remove regulatory aspects and add privacy protections for information sharing, 

in a bid to get Republican approval for legislation aimed at protecting critical infrastructure 

from cyberattacks. 

that even weakened legislation 

if it gets passed is better than 

none. “While the bill we introduced 

in February is stronger, 

this compromise will significantly 

strengthen the cybersecurity 

of the nation’s most critical 

infrastructure and with it our 

national and economic security,” 

wrote in a statement published 

on his Web site. 

“This compromise bill creates 

a public-private partnership to 

set cybersecurity standards for 

critical American infrastructure, 

and offers the reward of 

some immunity from liability 

to those who meet those standards,” 

Lieberman wrote. “In other 

words, we are going to try carrots 

instead of sticks as we begin 

to improve our cyberdefenses. 

This compromise bill will depend 

on incentives rather than mandatory 

regulations to strengthen 

America’s cybersecurity. If that 

doesn’t work, a future Congress 

will undoubtedly come back and 

adopt a more coercive system.” 

Specifically, the revised Cybersecurity 

Act of 2012 would: 

Establish a multi-agency National 

Cybersecurity Council 

-- chaired by the Secretary of 

Homeland Security -- to lead 

cybersecurity efforts, including 

assessing the risks and vulnerabilities 

of critical infrastructure 

systems. 

Allow private industry groups 

to develop and recommend to 

the council voluntary cybersecurity 

practices to mitigate 

Many Windows users like Microsoft Security Essentials because 

it keeps them safe without having to do much. Some prefer 

more control, and they often turn to third-party security 

software. TinyWall is a small program that works with MSE 

and gives users the ability to fine-tune their security setup. 

Here’s how to get started: 

1. Install TinyWall here. 

2. Run TinyWall. It will quickly take up residence in your 

system tray, where you can access it by clicking on its icon, 

which looks like an orange wall in front of a globe. 

Step 2: TinyWall menu. 

3. It’s important to note that TinyWall defaults to denying 

almost all programs access to the Web. (Chrome and Steam 

worked for me, but Outlook did not.) Fortunately, it’s pretty 

easy to allow programs to sneak through the firewall. Just click 

the TinyWall icon, then select whichever “Whitelist by” option 

tECH tIPS 

identified cyberrisks. The standards 

would be reviewed and approved, 

modified or supplemented 

as necessary by the council to 

address the risks. 

Allow owners of critical infrastructure 

to participate in a voluntary 

cybersecurity program. 

Owners could join the program 

by showing either thorough selfcertification 

or a third-party 

assessment that they are meeting 

the voluntary cybersecurity 

practices. Owners who join 

the program would be eligible 

for benefits including liability 

protections, expedited security 

clearances, and priority assistance 

on cyberissues. 

Create no new regulators and 

provide no new authority for 

an agency to adopt standards 

that are not otherwise authorized 

by law. Current industry 

regulators would continue to 

oversee their industry sectors. 

Permit information-sharing 

among the private sector and 

the federal government to share 

threats, incidents, best practices, 

and fixes, while preserving 

the civil liberties and privacy of 

users. 

Require designated critical 

infrastructure -- those systems 

that, if attacked, could cause catastrophic 

consequences -- to report 

significant cyberincidents. 

Require the government to 

improve the security of federal 

civilian cybernetworks through 

reform of the Federal Information 

Security Management Act. 

The American Civil Liberties 

Union said it was pleased with 

the changes related to privacy. 

“What’s clear is that the cyber 

train is leaving the station and 

we are happy to help break the 

news that it looks like the Senate 

is moving to pass something 

much better than CISPA from 

a privacy standpoint,” Michelle 

Richardson, legislative counsel 

for the ACLU Washington office, 

wrote in a blog post. “Not all of 

the problems with the Cybersecurity 

Act are solved yet, and you 

better believe that amendments 

to strip the privacy protections 

are in the mix.” 

Specifically, the revisions ensure 

that shared information 

goes directly to civilian agencies 

and not the military; the information 

is used strictly for prosecuting 

cyber crimes and pro 

tecting people from imminent 

threat of death or harm; agencies 

must submit annual reports on 

what information is shared and 

what is done with it; and people 

are allowed to sue the government 

if it intentionally violates 

the law, according to the ACLU. 

Dissatisfied with the original 

Lieberman measure, GOP 

lawmakers had proposed their 

Gain greater control of your firewall in Windows 7 and Vista

seems easiest, but I had some troubles with it. You may want 

to try whitelisting by executable, but you will need to know 

where on your hard drive you can find each program you want

Step 4: TinyWall Manage window. 

5. Select Change Mode to quickly change global access. You 

can easily permit or deny all traffic, or set it to Autolearn, 

which is great for new systems and can make the process much 

faster. 

That’s it! TinyWall isn’t for all Windows users, but it can be 

great for those who like the price of Microsoft Security Essentials 

but want more control over its inner workings. --CNET

AMD has scary 

things to say 

about PC market 

Advanced Micro Devices, the 

world’s second largest PC processor 

supplier, had some sobering 

things to say today about the 

PC market when the company 

reported earnings today. 

“For the first time since 2001, 

client PC shipments have declined 

sequentially for three consecutive 

quarters-and have been 

below historical averages for the 

last seven quarters,” AMD CEO 

Rory Read said during the chip 

supplier’s second quarter earnings 

conference call. 

“We also believe the PC industry 

may be resetting to a new 

[lower] baseline,” he said. 

Revenue declined 10 percent 

to $1.41 billion for the the Sunnyvale, 

Calif.-based company. 

AMD, which is particularly 

sensitive to consumer PC demand, 

also said sales will be 

down 1 percent, plus or minus 

3 percent, in the third quarter 

from the second. 

That’s a steep drop from historical 

trends. AMD’s sales have 

grown on average 14 percent 

from the second quarter to the 

third over the past 10 years, 

according to Mike Burton, an 

analyst at Northland Capital 

Markets, whose comments were 

cited in a Bloomberg report. 

While Intel, the world’s largest 

chipmaker, wasn’t as negative 

as AMD, CEO Paul Otellini 

said earlier this week that it was 

only expecting full-year revenue 

growth in the 3 percent to 5 percent 

range versus previous expectations 

of “high single digits.” 

This may be the first signs of 

the “Post-PC era,” said a Piper 

Jaffray analyst. “Consumers are 

prioritizing smartphones and 

tablets at the expense of PCs,” 

wrote Gus Richard in a research 

note. 

And market researcher 

Gartner said last week that 

“consumers are less interested 

in spending on PCs” and more 

interested in purchasing “the 

latest smartphones and media 

tablets.”--CNET

Briton-slay 

suspect killed 

in Cabanatuan 

CABANATUAN CITY—The 

prime suspect in last year’s coldblooded 

murder of a British national, 

this city’s most wanted man, was 

gunned down following a shootout 

with local police operatives Thursday 

night. 

Police Superintendent Eli Depra, 

police station commander, identified 

the slain suspect as Hearns 

Valen Hizon alias “Palos”, 24, of 

St. Nicolas Subdivision, Barangay 

Bantug here. 

The shootout took place around 

11:20 p.m. Thursday along a street 

in Purok 4, Barangay San Juan AC- 

CFA when Hizon, together with an 

unidentified companion, encountered 

the six-man police team led 

by Senior Police Officer 3 Rene Catipon, 

who were tipped off of Hizon’s 

presence in the area. 

Instead of surrendering, Hizon 

opened fire, triggering the shootout 

which led to his death. His companion 

was able to escape. 

Depra said Hizon was the suspect 

in the high-profile murder of British 

national Graham Paul Bayley, 

58, who was robbed then gunned 

down at dawn of December 31 last 

year, which sparked an outrage 

within the British Embassy. 

Hizon was also tagged for murdering 

a certain Marvin Mejia and 

the wounding of Zaldy Flores at the 

Freedom Park, Barangay Sangitan 

West in this city on September 27, 

2010. 

Hizon also has three standing 

warrants of arrest for carnapping issued 

by three Regional Trial Courts 

and pending cases for robbery with 

homicide. The three warrants alone 

carry a bail of P780,000.

CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga—A 29 year old jobless man was arrested 

in a police drug buy bust on Wednesday in Guimba, Nueva Ecija. 

The suspect was identified as Jesus De Vera, a resident of 44 Alan 

Salvador Street, Sta Veronica District, Guimba, Nueva Ecija. 

The operation was jointly conducted by the Guimba police and Philippine 

Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) agents at about 9 p.m. near the 

residence of the suspect. 

In the operation, the operatives were able to purchase from De Vera a 

heat-sealed plastic transparent sachet of Shabu with an initial JADV-1. 

Also confiscated from De Vera was another sachet of Shabu with the 

same initial and two pieces of P200 used as marked money. . 

After an inventory, the evidence was forwarded to the Nueva Ecija Provincial

Teen rescued from prostitution 

HERMOSA, Bataan—A “deceived” 16-yearl old teen was rescued 

from prostitution with the help of a radio reporter. 

In a statement submitted to police authorities, radio reporter Danny 

Cumilang said he was eating at Marites Eatery in Barangay Palihan, this 

town, around 11 p.m. last week when the manager of the eatery identified 

as Cecil Morales approached him and offered a young girl for sex. 

He said he and the young girl went inside a VIP room. He stated he 

asked the girl when she started working at the eatery and how old she is. 

Cumilang said upon hearing the reply of the girl that she just started 

working at the eatery the day before and that her age is 17, he immediately 

went out of the room and sought assistance from the Hermosa police 

station to rescue the minor. 

The police immediately responded, rescuing the young girl and arrested 

Morales. 

Based on the statement of the young girl, she revealed that she is just 

actually 16 years old and a resident of Guagua, Pampanga. 

The victim also said in her statement to the police that she and another 

female friend were hired merely as food servers, and did not know that 

she will be offered to customers for sex. 

She said they were introduced by certain Abigail De Mesa to the owner 

of the eatery named Teresita “Marites” Dela Cruz. 

It was learned that the Hermosa Office of the Municipal Treasurer issued 

a certification stating that Marites Eatery has no mayor’s permit to 

operate for 2012. 

Morales is now detained. 

Cumilang, however, lamented that Dela Cruz must also be charged for 

duping a young girl into prostitution. “Dapat makasuhan din si Marites 

bilang may-ari ng eatery hindi yung manager lang”. ● (Butch Gunio)

This time marks 1 6 8 2 

a most 2 5 1 9 4 

enjoyable time 7 for you--things 6 8 9 3 1 4 7 5 6 2 

will come to you easily. Invest- 

2 9 7 6 8 4 3 1 5 1 7 2 3 6 5 9 8 4 

ments look good--logic prevails. You care about all of your relationships-friendships, associations or 

4 5 1 7 3 9 2 6 8 6 5 4 2 9 8 3 7 1 

love 7 affairs-and discuss 3 them 4 without emotions getting 6 in the way. A friend may request some attention 

this evening--trust your intuition. 

TAURUS (APR. 2 20-MAY 20) 9 4 8 

Your professional techniques are commendable and you will be able to demonstrate your capable 

expertise. Remember to separate some of your interests. If you are involved in deeply refining some 

technique or talent, you will want to seek out those people that have the same interest and converse with 

your co-workers about their interests. You are very tolerant and accepting of other people’s differences 

and this is good. You have good insights into all social values. Independent, you like to simplify, compromise 

and otherwise show your breadth of scope--like a coat of many colors. Shopping this afternoon, 

perhaps a new store, will have you wishing you had left the credit or debit cards behind--easy. Your flair 

for the unusual may not receive as much support. 

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN 21) 

Working in group projects is where the greatest progress is now. You could be most persuasive with others 

and eloquent in speech and communication. A current situation is a natural for your self-expression. 

You have plenty of ideas to share with others. A good conversation with those you love is possible later 

this afternoon. You may find yourself guiding a young person in some matter of importance. You could 

help this young person come up with new solutions or inventions. You are other-oriented these days 

and others enjoy being with you and learning from you. It is not what you do so much as how you do it, 

not who you are so much as how you make others feel about themselves. If it does not come from the 

heart, it should not matter now. 

CANCER (JUN 22- JUL 22) 

You can sometimes seem a bit eccentric, seeking out unusual pleasures and relations. You may become 

restless and bored by existing routines--you are eager to explore new ground. Try to temper your 

exploits with wisdom. Additionally, you may find it favorable to voice new ideas to others in hopes of 

winning them over to your way of thinking. You have discipline to complete your work. This is indeed 

your time to shine. Issues of pride, mastery and appreciation become more central to your life stream 

as this cycle progresses. There is open communication available. Now is an excellent time to plan for 

the future--both financially and socially. Do not forget to include your family when making any important 

decisions this evening. 

LEO (JUL 23 - AUG. 23) 

There is a natural ability to negotiate with the law and authorities, plus an ability to find your way--the 

correct way--when it comes to inner and spiritual matters. There could be situations that call upon your 

expertise to inform or guide others within the bounds of legal matters. Others will accept your guidance 

and counsel. Your drive to get at the heart and truth of things is invoked and serves as a common 

theme in your life. You will be please by the recognition you may receive from your co-workers today. 

Your relationships with others, especially women, will be more harmonious now. On a more practical 

level, this is a good time to effect subtle changes in your social life. Now is a time of excess--however, 

moderation in all things is best. 

LIBRA (SEP. 23 - OCT. 23) 

Your fertile mind is very clear and able to separate the most complex concepts into their component 

parts for easier understanding. You are called upon to help with contracts or some sort of legal workwhich 

is successful. If you treat others as you would want them to treat you, there should be no difficulties 

today. Your objectivity should enable you to converse with others about subjects that may have 

been too difficult before now. This is a good time to look into future career plans. Be sure to keep an 

open mind about all ideas or proposals, paying attention to all the details involved. Plans made today 

should work out, no matter how far down the road. This is a perfect day to look for a new home. Also, 

check out your insurance coverage. 

SCORPION (OCT. 24- NOV. 21) 

You are a natural architect and builder, able to use your mind to make decisions in matters of form and 

function. Careful . . . your imagination may run toward the way things ought to be, rather than on reality. In 

communicating with others, you will most likely find greater clarity through using rational thought. There 

is no reason, however, to lose that imagination of yours; together with rational thought, you will be able 

to come up with some unique and very workable solutions. Law, philosophy and religion have much 

potential to impact your lifestyle. Explore your options and consider teaching or taking an educational 

course that will add to your skills. A sociable, congenial, slightly frivolous orientation sets in this evening. 

There is romance. 

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 - DEC. 21) 

You are very sensitive--even vulnerable when it comes to expressing yourself. This is a time of intense 

creativity enabling you to go through changes and inner growth. A sudden break may occur now that 

will remove a limiting influence in your life. This may mean the end of a relationship that was not right 

for you, or it may mean quitting a dead-end job. Whatever the situation is in which you find yourself will 

return some freedom to you that you have not had in quite some time. It may be time now to open up 

your own shop or to begin teaching private classes. Whatever the planetary alignment is at any one 

time, you seem to have the talent for finding the best in any situation--others look to you as a mentor. 

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN 19) 

Changes in the workplace are pleasant and you and your co-workers have waited a long time for 

changes to occur. Thank goodness this is not a challenging day . . . there have been enough of those 

while waiting for the changes to take place. There is an air of fun, cooperation and the feeling that your 

professional standing is secure. It seems that several people are putting some pressure on you . . . 

needing your attention for one thing or another. Be sure to make it clear what you are willing to do and 

save some time for yourself. At home this evening, you may decide it is time to make some changes. 

This may mean a new paint job or buying some landscape plants and creating a water garden. A family 

member may decide to help you with that water garden. 

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 - FEB. 18) 

Work, achievement and ambition are the things that mean a lot to you now. You have a natural sense for 

communicating with others, especially those younger than yourself. Clear thoughts about the past may 

also be flowing in today. Taking care of business is a major theme where your emotional orientation is 

concerned. You crave organization and practicality and you want to get things accomplished. You aim 

to have a place for everything and everything in its place--and anything that gets in the way gets on your 

nerves. Take time to smell the flowers! This is a great afternoon to recharge the batteries. Take a stroll, 

chat with friends, listen to music and visit a farmer’s market. Surround yourself with beauty. Tonight you 

tell someone you love him or her. 

PISCES (FEB. 19 - MAR. 20) 

Superficiality will not be tolerated today. Leave that sort of thinking for another time and concentrate 

on whatever project is current. You will learn some new problem-solving techniques from a co-worker 

today. You have several opportunities to work with young people, perhaps involving your teaching of 

economy or budgeting as well as passing on the new problem-solving technique. You have an inner 

urge to be all things to all people and would rather bend than argue. You are a natural diplomat, always 

courteous and concerned with the comfort and welfare of others. You are equality minded and easy 

to talk with--a great mediator or negotiator. You are particularly good at relations, politics, diplomacy 

and sales.

Cebu Pacific invites college 

students who are passionate 

about traveling to join the Juan

a five-day cross-country adventure 

competition from August 29 

to September 2, 2012. 

The Juan for Fun Backpacker 

Challenge brings five teams of 

three university students to six 

exciting and scenic destinations 

all over the Philippines. Armed 

with P30,000 in cash, the teams 

get to test their resourcefulness 

and adventurous spirit in select 

Philippine destinations, with 

some challenges along the way. 

The team that gets to do the 

most number of challenges in 

each destination and ends up 

with the most travel savings 

wins the challenge. 

To join, teams composed of 

three college students who are 

18 years old and above must submit

Bondocs were removed. 

“We were singled 

out. The posters with 

the picture of the mayor 

or other politicians were 

not removed. This is 

political harassment,” 

Bondoc said. 

Village chief Paul 

Balingit of San Roque, 

Macabebe town was 

asked by San Simon 

folks to help them find 

where the posters were 

stored after being taken 

down. 

Balingit said they 

found 14 out of the 200 

posters at the San Simon 

police station office.

will continue throughout my term of 

office, together with Governor Lilia 

Pineda. I am happy and thankful 

that 370 persons were served in this 

free health service),”Guiao added. 

Of the total number of beneficiaries, 

130 from Mabalacat town and 

100 from Magalang were scheduled 

for minor operations. 

Guiao also thanked Dr. Rudy Ong, 

rooms and backyard 

piggery farms,” Balingit 

said. 

Balingit said he 

asked the town’s chief of 

police, Chief Inspector 

Paul Gamido, about the 

removal of posters. 

“He said he did not 

know anything about 

those posters but the 

local residents were 

pinpointing him as the 

one who asked his men 

to remove posters of the 

Bondocs,” Balingit said. 

Fourth District Provincial 

Board Member 

Nestor Tolentino said 

he has set up a meeting 

with Police Provincial 

Director Edgardo Tinio 

to address the issue. 

Bondoc, a come- 

tion: “How far will your team go 

for a fun adventure?” Deadline 

for submission is on August 16, 

2012. 

Winners of the Juan for Fun 

Backpacker Challenge get to enjoy 

more travel perks from Cebu 

Pacific. The top three teams get 

tickets to any of CEB’s international 

or domestic destinations. 

Extra prizes at stake include 

cameras, mobile phones and hotel 

tour packages. “Students will 

surely have a blast making the 

audition video and racing across 

the country. We look forward 

to their brilliant ideas when it 

comes to having fun even while 

on a budget,” said Cebu Pacific 

VP for Marketing and Distribution 

Candice Iyog. 

Through the Juan for Fun 

Backpacker Challenge, Cebu Pacific 

continues to encourage the 

youth to travel around the Philippines 

and discover its cultural 

and natural wonders. The challenge 

is supported by Citibank, 

Canon, Sun Cellular and the 

Philippine Department of Tourism.

Meanwhile, a Barangay Health 

Worker (BHW) in Dau, Mabalacat 

said that they were very thankful to 

the Vice Governor for extending a 

helping hand to the needy. 

All surgical services, such as removal 

of sebaceous cyst, lymphoma cyst, 

tendon cyst, abscess, warts and even 

small breast mass, will be performed at 

the MEDIKALINGA, the new medical 

facility in this city, free of charge. 

Patients are not required to pay 

any fees. However, they are required 

to pass through profiling and screening 

prior to their admission. 

The said medical facility, which 

was inaugurated earlier by City 

Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, has 10 

surgical beds and other medical 

equipment for minor surgeries and 

operations that will be scheduled every 

Friday, Saturday and Sunday. ●

Central Luzon. 

The traffic gridlock lasted for several 

hours since the mall’s opening 

in the morning of Friday. It did not, 

however, match the humongous traffic 

created by the opening of the SM 

City Pampanga when motorists had 

to leave their vehicles on the streets 

for the night due to heavy traffic volume 

on major roads. 

Located on a 7,835 square-meter 

site, the newest mall in the province 

is situated in the already crowded 

downtown San Fernando area where 

the city hall, metropolitan cathedral 

and the old public market can also be 

found. 

The city police designated traffic 

policemen and other force multipliers 

but the volume of vehicles was too 

much to be managed in the already 

tight area. This was even made worse 

by the on-going construction of major 

roads and fly-over in the city. 

A three level parking garage located 

above the four-storey shopping 

center provides generous parking, 

though. For customer convenience, 

the parking structure is integrated 

into the overall design with a service 

and dock area located along Consunji 

Street.●

Bulacan holds river 

system clean-up 

CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan—Around 500 Bulakeños 

from various sectors joined the clean-up drive 

at the Marilao-Meycauayan-Obando River System 

(MMORS) last July 19. 

Bulacan Governor Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado, together 

with other government officials, Philippine National 

Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Air Force 

Reservists and other non-government organizations, 

led the clean-up drive and patrolled the river system 

while announcing to the public the strict implementation 

of laws protecting the MMORS. 

“This activity is part of our long-term solution to erase 

the bad image that is associated with our MMORS. We 

are serious in making our vision a realization. With the 

help of other government agencies and the citizens, I am 

positive that we can be successful in this project,” said 

Alvarado. 

A short program was held at Barangay Saog, Marilao 

where the signing of the implementing rules and regulations 

of the No Plastic Ordinance was done. ●

Motorcycles are still 

the favorite “crime and

criminals. They are fast, 

dependable and can

Police authorities are 

usually conducting random 

checkpoints to almost 

any strategic places 

in the city. We can barely

It’s perhaps 

because of the incessant 

rains, that we experience 

lately, that discourages 

policemen in conducting 

checkpoints.

Police checkpoints are 

very effective deterrent 

to criminal activities 

involving riding–in-tandem

of these police 

operational procedures.

One of the problems encountered by the tourists 

is the lack of hotels where they would stay overnight 

when attending ceremonies on top of Mt. Samat. 

Pizarro said she will give emphasis to this aspect 

once elected in 2013. 

Earlier, Bataan 2nd District Rep. Albert Garcia 

said that he is eyeing the conversion of the globally 

renowned Mt. Samat Shrine into a tourist enterprise 

zone to become a magnet for tourists. 

The solon said the plan of converting the shrine 

into a tourist economic zone is part of the projected 

comprehensive tourism master plan aiming to integrate

“Palos,” referring to his

The suspect was considered 

as a former child

JULY 23-24, 2012 

The city police chief 

may not consider the 

said crimes as not-soserious 

and in fact, the 

peace and order situation 

in the city is still 

normal. He may have a 

different barometer in 

monitoring the crime 

rate in the city. 

*** 

The people, not only 

from the City of San Fernando, 

cannot afford to 

hear other crimes that 

will happen in the future. 

They cannot afford 

either to hear that criminals 

remain scot-free 

after perpetrating their 

nefarious activities. 

*** 

For many, the said 

crimes are alarming. 

Nobody wants to be the 

next victim of course. 

The police hierarchy in 

the city should beef-up 

their efforts in doing 

their mandate of serving 

and protecting the citizenry.

”Because he evaded 

detention as a minor, he 

harbored the feeling of 

impunity and he felt invincible,”

He said the suspect 

had been saying lawmen 

would not catch 

him alive. 

Recovered from the 

encounter scene were

Matagal na yung tsismis na may romansa 

kina Camille Prats at Sam Milby. Pero ang 

bagay na ito ay tinatawanan lang kapwa ng 

dalawa. “Sam and my Kuya John are good 

friends kasi naging co-hosts sila ng isang 

lunch time show sa ABS,” she says. “We 

hang out at nu’ng birthday ko, he treated 

me to dinner then we went to the taping of 

my Kuya. ‘Yun lang ‘yon. ‘Wag na lagyan 

ng malice.” 

Ayon naman kay Camille, nagdalawangisip 

siyang tanggapin ang role bilang ina ng 

dalawang teenagers, sina bBea Binene at 

Barbie Forteza sa Luna Blanca. “I told them I’m only 27, baka 

hindi ako maging credible, mag-suffer lang ang show,” she 

says. “But they assured me di nila ko pababayaan, patatandain 

nang konti ang hitsura ko. Direk Dominic Zapata explained to 

me how important my presence is as the mom of Barbie and Bea, 

pero sa Ikatlong Yugto na magiging sina Bianca King at Heart 

Evangelista na sila, ayoko na talagang maging nanay nila. By 

that time, si Tita Lani Mercado na ang gaganap as me.” 

Camille enjoys hosting “Mars” on GMA News TV, Monday to 

Friday at 6 p.m. “Very informative kasi and very educational. 

Tonight, we’ll find if the CAMANAVA or Caloocan, Malabon, 

Navotas, Valenzuela areas will suffer from more dangerous 

flooding in the coming years. Also why it seems there are so 

Modelung-modelo ang dating ni BB 

Gandanghari sa grand launch ng TV5’s 

5-Star Prime kung saan ay kasama siya 

sa eco-fantasyang Enchanted Garden na 

isa sa mga bagong primetime show ng 

Kapatid network. 

Patalbugan nga sila ni Ruffa Gutierrez 

ng kagandahan habang nasa stage ang 

buong cast. 

Ang Enchanted Garden ang first teleserye 

ni BB at first acting job niya ulit 

after three years. 

Sobrang na-miss daw niya ang 

acting kaya naman enjoy na enjoy 

siya sa taping. 

Asked kung ilang figures ba ang kanyang 

talent fee rito, natawa si BB at nagsabing, 

“Nakakaganda naman ’yun. ’Yun 

lang ang masasabi ko, nakakaganda siya.” 

Sa iba pang mga bagay, nahingan ng 

reaksyon si BB gaya ng tungkol sa grabeng 

kasikatang tinatamasa ngayon ng 

kanyang pamangking si Daniel Padilla. 

“I’m very happy for him. I’m very 

proud of this boy,” sambit ni Bb. “I remember, 

alam ninyo, nasa America ako, 

nu’ng first time may nagsabi sa akin na, 

‘Uy, may Padilla na artista!” Sabi sa akin 

ng kaibigan ko roon. 

“Sabi ko, ‘sino?’ ‘Baka kapatid 

mo ’yun?’ Sabi ko, ‘bakit, ilang taon 

na?’ ‘Mga 16 or 17.’ Sabi ko, ‘gagah, 

patay na ang tatay ko 25 years ago, 

paanong magkakaroon ng 16-yearold 

na bata?’ 

“Nalaman ko eventually, anak ni 

Rommel. Nu’ng nakita ko, ginoogle ko, 

sabi ko, ‘sisikat itong batang ito.’ That 

was last year,” patuloy ni BB. 

Nagkita na nga raw sila ng pamangkin 

at binigyan pa niya ito ng advice. 

“Yung immediate na advice na sabi ko 

sa kanya, ‘huwag kang magpapalaki ng 

katawan, ha? Okay na muna ’yan.’ Kasi 

bata pa, eh, ’di ba? Kaya fresh na fresh siya.” 

“Tita” raw ang tawag sa kanya ni Dan- 

many reports these days of Pinoys being struck by lightning and 

how to avoid it. 

Kapuso teen stars Diva Montelaba and Kristoffer Martin also 

discuss mother-child conflicts caused by teen relationships. 

“Diva teaches us ni Suzy Abrera how to dance a hip MARS 

dance. Kristoffer, on the other hand, shows how to refurbish 

old bull caps to accentuate your teen son’s urban style. And finally, 

undergo an obstacle-based fitness regimen that promises 

to tone you up faster than you can expect.” 

Kahit tanggap na ng buong angkan… 

BB di pa rin kayang tanggapin ni Robin Padilla

iel at lahat naman daw ng pamangkin 

niya ay tanggap siya as BB. 

“And I guess they’re happy for 

me as well. At saka ano, eh, siguro 

parang nakikita naman nila sa akin 

how comfortable I am sa kanila,” say 

pa ng comebacking actor. 

Kinumusta rin ng press kay BB 

ang relasyon nito sa kapatid na si 

Robin Padilla at kung natanggap na 

ba ng huli ang kanyang pagiging 

BB Gandanghari. 

“’Yun naman ang sinasabi 

niya, eh, tanggap naman daw 

niya. Kaso, hindi pa lang daw 

siya ready na... ako naman, 

easy lang. So, kung ’yan yung 

stand mo, why not? 

“But I’m sure, one day 

and, hopefully, soon, 

maging normal na ’yung 

pakikitungo namin sa 

isa’t isa,” say ni BB.
