After TV host Willie Revillame decided not to renew his contract with TV-5 (read story here), there are reports that he will be back to ABS- CBN where he used to host the noontime show Wowowee. After the much needed showbiz break, Willie hinted of possible appearance in future shows. Willie Revillame Banned on ABS- CBN The news of Willie's Kapamilya return was even intensified by his recent sighting with Gina Lopez, head of ABS-CBN Foundation and sister of Chairman Gabby Lopez. However, in a recent press conference, ABS-CBN executive Linggit Tan revealed that Willie cannot return on ABS-CBN anytime soon. Reporters were kept out of the guarded chapel. Interment will be on Saturday, June 29, at CemPark in Banilad, Cebu City. Meanwhile, support for Kim fills the social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as friends and fans of the young actress expressed their sympathy and offered prayers for her and her family. Kim's management, Star Magic released an official statement regarding the death of Kim's mother. "Star Magic sympathizes with Kim Chiu on the passing of her mother, Louella Y. Chiu. We request that we give Kim and her family the respect and time to grieve for their loss. Thank you." Meanwhile, Kim's love team partner Xian Lim has reportedly flew to Cebu to console Kim. Kim Chiu was 16 when she moved in Manila to join ABS-CBN’s reality series Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition in 2006, on which she was hailed winner. Willie Revillame banned on ABS-CBN Willie Revillame "Hindi puwede for the moment. Nagsalita na sina Ma’am Charo [Santos-Concio], CVV [Cory V. Vidanes] at si Gabby [Lopez] na hindi, kaya iyon ang sagot ko," said Linggit Tan when asked if Willie will be back on ABS-CBN. "At saka, mababa ang ratings niya, ’di ba, three percent?" added Miss LT. Is ABS-CBN trying to teach Willie a lesson after he left the network who gave him a second or even a third chance? Willie's show on TV-5 Wowowillie will run until October and after that, the host said that he will focus on his businesses. Nevertheless, Willie will return as he hinted. If not on ABS- CBN, and probably not on TV-5, will GMA-7 be keen on accepting Willie Revillame? a More Showbiz Gossip p.22
June 2013 The North American Filipino Star 21 Finally, A Voice for Wine Consumers By David White Today, more than 12,000 U.S. wine shops have a presence on the web. But just 14 states allow consumers to order wine from out-ofstate retailers. Eleven states prohibit residents from ordering wine from out-of-state wineries. Four states ban the sale of wine on Sundays. The overwhelming majority of Americans support supermarket wine sales, but 15 states force consumers to purchase their wine in a dedicated liquor store. In another 15 states, it's illegal to bring your own bottle of wine into a restaurant -- even if the restaurant owner is okay with it. Like virtually all America's liquor laws, these restrictions trace their origins to Prohibition. Today, these laws simply harm consumers and enrich special interests. Fortunately, there's a new organization that's fighting these anti- The North American Filipino Star Classified Ads ADVRTISING Classified ads - cheapest way to advertise!

Van Horne Suite 106 (Plamondon Metro) Mr. Reza, Certified Instructor consumer wine laws. Called the American Wine Consumer Coalition (www.WineConsumers.org), the group deserves every wine lover's support. When Prohibition was repealed 80 years ago, states were given the authority to regulate the "transportation or importation" of liquor within their borders. At the insistence of a motley crew of interest groups, states imposed an assortment of rules. A top priority was weakening producers, because before prohibition, teetotalers and law enforcement alike believed they wielded too much power. Temperance advocates blamed producers for the ills of drunkenness; police officers associated producers with organized crime. Lawmakers answered this call in one of two ways. They either took control of the sale and/or distribution of alcohol or created a "wholesaler tier" to sit between producers and retailers. Today, just Pennsylvania and Utah maintain total control on alcohol sales. In those two states, government officials decide which liquor brands are sold, how much is charged, and where those products can be purchased. Virtually every other state depends on a wholesale tier through which most alcohol must pass. This is essentially a state-mandated middleman. As one might guess, wholesaling is big business. Together, the nation's two largest wholesalers had revenues of more than $14 billion last year. So it's no surprise that the wholesaling industry fights hard against efforts to undermine its presence. Consider direct-to-consumer wine sales. About 20 years ago, Americans started developing a taste for high-end wines, typically from California.

Such transactions cut out wholesalers, so they spearheaded a campaign to prohibit winery-toconsumer shipping. Consumers responded with lawsuits, and in 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that state lawmakers could only prohibit direct shipping from out-of-state wineries if they blocked wineries in their states from shipping out of state. The 11 states that still prohibit direct-toconsumer wine sales hardly produce any wine of their own. The wholesaling industry has also fought to block online retailer-toconsumer wine sales -- and remains successful in 36 states. So if you live in Pennsylvania and desperately want a bottle of wine that can only be found at a store in Washington, D.C., you're out of luck. Wine retailers obstruct supermarket wine sales. After all, if consumers could pick up a bottle of Merlot while shopping for dinner, they might skip the trip to the liquor store. LANGUAGES Learning a second language is always an asset.

Laws against bringing your own bottle of wine into a restaurant are pushed by the restaurant lobby. The reason? Restaurants profit handsomely from wine sales, typically tripling the retail price. Plus, it's easy to imagine an upstart restaurant gaining traction by encouraging patrons to bring in their own booze -- and established restaurants don't enjoy competition. America's liquor laws are designed to protect and serve special interests -- not consumers. That's why the time has come for the American Wine Consumer Coalition.
