Knock-OUT

See, the truth reveals that Manny Pacquiao’s winning streaks is a mere a business done under the table; those who have powers on boxing world can make a boxer win or not and not the boxer himself because this so called judges are the ones who decide which they wanted to won and can influence the numbers in boxing rates even the scales they can influence; for we are not on a stone age you know. Only those people are on the stone age of their mindset when they quickly believe that boxing is real but forget that what they watch is just a mere “SPORTS”; a mere entertainment and not a real ones. A business where flows in and the boxer is the best-selling product.

Recently, the world was shock when the octuple boxing champion, Manny Pacquiao lost his title to latest boxing opponent, Timothy Bradley who won Manny Pacquiao’s title WBO welterweight,which Manny Pacquiao is no more but now a former. His title was transfer into Timothy Bradley, an American boxer. That is what boxing all about; it is the fight for a title.

“..Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines was stunned by American Timothy Bradley on Saturday, surrendering his WBO welterweight title on a controversial split decision at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

It was Pacquiao’s first defeat since he lost to Erik Morales in Las Vegas in March 2005, ending a run of 15 consecutive wins by the Filipino who has won world titles in an unprecedented eight weight divisions…”

However, Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum was greatly disappointed of what have happened and accused the judges for messing up the scores or the judges have cheated the scores and lambasted the judges.

“I’ve never been as ashamed to be associated with the sport of boxing as I am tonight,…. This is a fight that respected people scored 11-1, 10-2 to Pacquiao. They said that Bradley was trying hard but that this was a mis-match….”

“It is unfathomable,… These people don’t know how to score. The truth is they’re too damn old to judge any more. What were they looking at? This was not a close fight. It’s not good for the sport of boxing.”

His defeat could be the result of his heartless and foolish remarks about the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) community on his counter statement to Barrack Obama’s acceptance of gay marriage that Gays should be “put to death”.

“…He quoted a Biblical verse following Barack Obama’s announcement of support for same-sex marriage that according to him homosexuals should be put to death : ““God’s words first … obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man…. should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old…..’.. If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads,’..”

His arrogant remarks could be the cause of his now the beginning of his downfall in the world of boxing from his unexplainable winning streaks and the beginning of the end of his boxing career. However, he humbly accept his defeat yet the Filipinos are still blind of their Filipino boxing idol.

“I accept what the result is, I respect the judges, I cannot blame them. It is a part of the game. I give thanks to the Lord. I do my best but my best wasn’t good enough.”

The Malacanang through Aquino administration’s Deputy Presidential spokesman Abigail Valte, expressed dismay yet with optimistic consolation that on the next fight with Timothy Bradley, Manny Pacquiao should be able to get back his so-called hard earned WBO welterweight title.

“Si Manny pa rin ang nag-iisa at ipinagmamalaking Pambansang Kamao ng sambayanang Pilipino [Manny is still Philippines' national boxing hero],.. Sa kabila ng pagkabigo ni Manny Pacquiao na depensahan ang WBO Welterweight belt laban kay Timothy Bradley, hindi pa rin natitinag ang suporta ng sambayanang Pilipino sa ating Pambansang kamao [Despite losing his fight for the WBO Welterweight belt, Filipinos' support for Manny is unshaken]…. Sama-sama nating ipagdasal ang agarang panunumbalik ng sigla at lakas ni Manny. Sa susunod mo pang mga laban at pagpupursigi, makakaasa kang lagi mo kaming kaisa at kasama…. Sa anumang larangan, may nagwawagi at may nagagapi. Ngunit gaya ng ilang ulit pinatunayan ng lahing Pilipino, ang bawat pagkadapa at pagkalugmok ay pagkakataon upang ipamalas ang kakayahan nating taas-noong bumangon. Basta’t patuloy tayong nagkakapit-bisig, tiyak tayong titindig tungo sa tagumpay, kung saan lahat ng Pilipino ay panalo,”

@ProfessionalHeckler tweeted: Only TWO people (judges) picked Timothy Bradley, the rest of the world scored it for Manny! MANNY PACQUIAO, you are the REAL winner!

Columnist Randell Tiongson meanwhile said: “Oh… But with Manny Pacquiao’s renewed faith, he is a real winner.”

The two judges gave the title to American Boxer Timothy Bradley while one judge gave the title to Filipino Boxer Manny Pacquiao yet Filipinos shouted “boos” though these Filipinos already know what the bad implications of Manny Pacquiao’s recent remarks against the Gay Community which they only shows that Filipinos abroad are too shallow on their thinking in regards to reality in society but greatly influenced by perhaps I bet by their too much religiosity about “jesus Christ” or on their Catholic faith.

“..Judge Jerry Roth (115-113) awarded the fight to Pacquiao while CJ Ross (115-113) and Duane Ford (115-113) gave it to the American, but the crowd responded with boos after 12 rounds which the Filipino had appeared to dominate…”

But not only Filipinos, but also international celebrities who admire Manny Pacquiao expressed great dismay but willfully forget that his previous homophobic remarks could be the cause that influences the judges decision because as we all know almost Men in the world are either gay or bisexual and only BiGOTS believe the Christian Bible.

“Yo manny! you just gotta remember what my daddy @billyraycyrus always told me “when you knock em out, you dont need no judge!… “I couldn’t agree more with the trending topics
#mannypacquiaoisstilltheworldsbestboxer.”, says by Miley Cyrus.

“The stats don’t add up to the decision made. This is crazy! Can I really get my money back now?”,said by Khloe Kardasian.

Is these celebrities really admire Manny Pacquiao or just bet for Manny Pacquiao and lose greatly? Or did also some Filipinos really admire Manny Pacquiao or just use him as bet to have money and greatly disappointed about the results, that is why they “boo”? Well, the answer is on them alone.

But the real answer why he lose could be that Boxing is really a business not to take seriously by the boxer-product being use to gain money. Moreover, his homophobic remarks could of course really hurt the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Community and the judges could be gay or bisexual. Manny Pacquiao should have considered that fact that gays are human being that has rights or as international sport celebrity he should respect the gender orientation of people he met abroad and should not force his Christian beliefs to others; fellow Filipinos should reprimand him and open his mind about the gay community on the foreign country he is in.

Actually, he is the one who creates his own down fall; his Christian belief actually.

Dark Ahead For Philippines Justice System

Leave a reply

With result of the so-called impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona to be guilty of whatsoever they claim to be the persecution team or the yellow team of Hypocrite Noynoy, of betrayal of public trust and violation of constitution by not presenting to the public his assets which divert from the really allegation of the persecution team of his being a midnight appointee by former Philippine president now Pampanga representative Miss Gloria Macapagal Arroyo which the persecution team of Hypocrite Noynoy has not proven but now beastly declare on the public that real justice rolls or rule on the Philippines as well as his yellow lapdog Senator Juan Ponce Enrile pronounced unashamedly on national TV.

“..The Senate impeachment court, in a vote of 20-3, convicted Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona of culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust owing to his failure to disclose all properties and other possessions in his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALn) to end four months of a politically-charged process…”

Chief Justice Renato Corona clearly says he do not violate any of the constitutional laws prescribed him being the chief justice and the accused bank accounts were not his which the persecution team has been ashamed of and his refusal to present his assets disgust Senator Juan Ponce Enrile which is the currently chief senator judge and pronounced guilty for not disclosing what the persecution pressure Chief Justice Renato Corona to disclose which is very far away from the case or allegations against him; Senator Juan Ponce Enrile should be the one not Fit on his position for his erring decision and out the case verdict.

“We have witnessed with disdain the indiscriminate, deliberate and illegal machinations of some parties who have been less than forthright with this Court in presenting dubiously procured and misleading documents which were spread to the media obviously to influence this Court’s and the public’s opinion,” said outburst by Senator Juan Ponce Enrile who willfully forget that the trial is about how and why Chief Justice Renato Corona has become midnight appointee and not about disclosing one’s assets which is immaterial and irrelevant to the case which Chief Justice Renato Corona is accused of. His verdict decision is out of sync and who is he to make final decision wherein he is just a mere senate president is he the Chief Justice of the Philippines?

Why does the Senate becomes now the powerful government system rather the Supreme Court of the Philippines; what is going on in the Philippines? The Supreme Court has the final say not the Senate who is den of corruption of the not so worth government officials that are voted senators like Lito Lapid, Robert Jaworksi ,Antonio Trillanes,and so other people that is not worthy of the people because they too are incompetent and have political stain.

For it obviously evident that the persecution team failed to convict Chief Justice Renato Corona for the allegations accused against Him; Senator Juan Ponce Enrile knew that but has become fool of his own emotion.

“..The prosecution panel, however, cannot lay claim to have convincingly won its case as it was Corona’s testimony that led most of the senator-judges to rule in favor of conviction and not the pieces of evidence presented by the prosecution panel that is led by allies of President Aquino in the House of Representatives…”

Furthermore, even any one is afraid to disclose one’s properties to public; the Justice System in the Philippines is all about Tyranny and Hypocrisy and there is not Truth in it, for even the most hypocrite current President Noynoy would resist to disclose one’s properties when on public Trial.

“..Following an impeachment trial lasting more than four months, Corona was found guilty of violating the Constitution and betraying public trust by failing to disclose a foreign currency account of $2.4 million and another P80-million account, both of which Corona admitted owning….”

Yes, the impeachment trial has been diverted into disclosing one’s own precious properties rather than on how and why Chief Justice Renato Corona’s appointment is legal or not; the persecution team or the Noynoy has not proven him guilty of the accusations but just solely based their hypocritical and erroneous judgment on not sharing one’s own properties.

“..The impeachment of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona based on the closing arguments presented by the contending counsels of the defense and the prosecution boils down to the contents of his bank accounts and whether these were intentionally withheld from public scrutiny by Corona’s failure to include these in his statement of assets, liabilities and networth (SALn), a conundrum that should be addressed to all government officials.

Yet Noynoy and his yellow cabal cling to the argument that it is only Corona who is on trial and only his financial records should be turned inside out in full view of the public….”

Even anyone will not willingly share their own all properties like bank accounts on public, even Noynoy will surely refuse and will be guilty of what they accuse of Chief Justice Renato Corona, as well as Senator Juan Ponce Enrile will be guilty of betrayal of Public trust and culpable violation of constitution similar to what they accused or verdict upon Chief Justice Renato Corona once pressure and under trial.

“..Noynoy and his allies cannot, thus, take the easy way out saying now that such only applies to Corona, because it is he who is on trial. The demand for transparency is not an impeachment issue, it is something that Noynoy promised the nation and which he is now being asked to deliver…”

What a Hypocrite Nation is the Philippines! What a hypocrite Government Officials! What a distorted and corrupt Government System as well as Justice System the Philippines has; what a disdain! Is this what the Filipinos like that is why they vote Noynoy the abnormal and hypocrite president, Dark Government System?
What are the rallies are for? Why they protest in the streets if these Filipinos they themselves wants dark government systems by voting hypocrite government officials like Noynoy and Juan Ponce Enrile?

And some Filipinos refuse of charter change that could bring refreshment to their Rotten form of Government. Filipinos even voted a lot of yes votes on the Yahoo online polls if the decision of Senator Juan Ponce Enrile is justice or not; so many fools in the Philippines; Majority of Filipinos are Foolish people just going the flow and not investigating by their own. If the Senate will say, it will rain sulfur tomorrow they will believe it; if the Senate will say Juan Dela Cruz is a murder whereas in reality he is not, they will believe it not using their brains and coconuts.

Now, this Senator Juan Ponce Enrile is now ready to defy the Supreme Court and ready to mess up the government system of the Philippines just for “Justice” DAW; what if he is one on the seat and liken to Chief Justice Renato Corona, will he disclose and open to public all what he is and let the public scrutinize even his sagging Penis and scrotum? Well if he is idiot he will; transparency is not it?

What a shame the Philippine government has! It is a breeding ground of Corruption, Political Hypocrisy and Folly which the major foolish Filipinos had fun watching it like they are watching circus.

“I will say this very frankly and I hope they understand. If they will question the jurisdiction of the impeachment court and reverse our decision, we will defy them. If they want a Constitutional crisis in this country, they will have one,”

Aspiring For Non-Pinoy Title

Leave a reply

So what if so-called “Pinoy” bet for the eleventh season of the famous American reality TV show “American Idol” didn’t win the crown as the 11th American Idol, anyway is Miss Jessica Sanchez, the so-called “Pinoy” bet for the reality show, a pure American to be idolized as the next American Idol? How the Filipinos were so day dreaming and out of reality, is Jessica Sanchez on the “Filipino Idol” contests that they should be dismayed because she didn’t won the title? How idiot.

More worst she was called “World Idol” by an online twitter something polls being her as the one who gets the most votes perpetrated by a wordpress blogger “The Ayson Chronicles : A Life Online” and her Filipino diehard fans as well as American fans go “gaga”, as the religious goes “gaga” on pop icon Lady Gaga’s Asian concert tour; what the heck is going on the people?

According to the result papers of mobs-labs.org which is the base of all the rumors that Miss Jessica Sanchez will be the next 11th American Idol or will be the winner of the 11th season : “..The analysis of the season finale is based on the data collected between the beginning of the show in the East at 8:00 P.M. EST and the end of the voting period in the west, at 4:00 A.M. EST. The histogram of Figure 5 has a twofold interpretation. If we consider the whole of our dataset, as we have done in the previous analysis, Jessica turns out to have been the most popular in Twitter in our time window. Henceforth, the analysis analysis used for the elimination shows lead us to predict that Jessica will be the winner of the show…”

Moreover to add to the craze of most Pinoys, they thought that these Twitter polls could really predict the real winner of American Idol, ahead of the production and management team of the reality US TV show “American Idol”, forgetting that the show is only about and centered only within the United States or the voting polls is only within the American and not outside the United States for it is as the title of the reality TV shows says “American Idol” not “World Idol”

According to the results presented by the mobs-lab.org, which generate the Twitter polls worldwide online, the real winner of the reality show is Indeed “Phillip” having the great number of the regional votes than Miss Jessica Sanchez if only within United States is to be considered since the show is indeed only for the Americans and not for the World to decide and partake.

“….However, there is an important caveat. As we pointed out before, Jessica is the only contestant that has a strong Twitter signal originating from outside of the U.S. (and in particular from the Philippines), with an increasing trend after the show on April 19. Given that the voting is restricted to the U.S. only, it is helpful to have a closer look at the data, and consider the subset of Tweets that come with geographical metadata. Although the geolocalized data are a much smaller subset of the total signal, this dataset allows us to provide the contestants’ standing restricted to the USA Twitter population…..

. In the US, Phillip appears to have the largest fanbase of the two contestants…… If the possibility of votes coming from abroad is discarded, using the available data, we could then claim that Phillip is going to be the winner of the 11th edition of American Idol….”

But to a resentful Vice President of the Philippines, Jejomar Binay, according to his tweet Jessica Sanchez is the real winner of the US reality TV show as if Jessica Sanchez is on a Worldwide contest which he willfully forget that the reality TV show is just only centered or within the territory of the United States or the votes to be casted upon is only within America.

“Hindi man pinalad si @JSanchezAI11 bilang American Idol, sa puso ng bawat Pilipino, siya pa rin ang nagwagi. Like other talented kababayans, she makes us proud to be Filipinos,”

In addition to that, some Philippine Senators goes out of sync of their brains saying that Jessica Sanchez should be hail on the upper pedestal for no Filipino has not yet done what she has done, as if she join a world contests, perchance only that the American Idol reality TV show is just famous around the world but that doesn’t mean it is already worldwide show that should be revered upon. What an American colonial mentality some Filipinos have. It is a crying shame that the Philippine dignitaries are the ones who felt dismay not understanding what the contest is all about.

“Jessica Sanchez should be congratulated and commended through this resolution for her personal feat that celebrates Filipino ancestry and echoes national pride,….. She was almost eliminated in the Top 7’s first week had it not been for the ‘judges’ save’ which was introduced in the eighth season, making her the first female and fourth finalist in the show’s history to be spared from elimination,”…said by Senator Manny Villar.

Senator Franklin Drilon also has to say about the result of the reality show and felt also dismay : “Sayang. Sana po nanalo, mahal siya ng buong bansa. Ganunpaman, sa palagay ko the future will be good to her given her talent and how I wished she won,”

Senator Gringo Honasan also felt dismay that Miss Jessica Sanchez should have won the reality TV show and said that the entire Philippine nation was greatly dismay about the final results of the reality TV show who is the real winner; and the senator just comfort the nation not to be so sad about what have happened to Miss Jessica Sanchez but the nation should be at least happy because she have shown that Filipinos could at least make it on a foreign contest and should think that Miss Jessica Sanchez have not lost her talent anyway; this he also comfort himself.

Furthermore, a fellow Bataeños of Miss Jessica Sanchez ( Miss Jessica Sanchez came from Bataan region of the Philippines) or a congressman or house representative of the region of Bataan, Rep. Albert Garcia of Bataan’s second district, filed a House Resolution congratulating and commending the “innate talent” and what Miss Jessica Sanchez has achieved on the currently concluded US Reality TV Show, ”American Idol” : House Resolution No. 2444,that will give honor to Miss Jessica Sanchez.

However, other Philippine solon filed another House Resolution that will commend and honor Miss Sanchez, the House Resolution (HR) No. 2425 filed by Bataan Rep. Herminia Roman that will give Miss Sanchez a honor; or it not might not cause confusion if the two House Resolution filed by two Bataan representatives are just the same or not or which is official or personal, well I don’t know perhaps it is just a craze and mania that they redundantly file the same House Resolution that aims to honor Miss Jessica Sanchez.

“Malaking karangalan si Jessica hindi lamang sa ating lalawigan kundi maging sa buong bansa, Lahat nalungkot pero at the same time we should be proud of her because she faced a stiff competition and yet she attained quite a feat, Her talent, humility, and passion has united Filipinos the world over and has given us another Filipino champion to emulate..”, said in a mixed emotions (gladness and dismay) by Bataan Rep. Albert Garcia of Bataan’s second district.

House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. certified that Miss Jessica Sanchez will be given honors that she deserved for she has given the Philippines a great honor abroad. “Hers is a great achievement; definitely we will honor her,”

Some solons indeed express commendations to her :

“Being second is an excellent feat for a very young lady. I’m sure that her future is already made because she is fantastically talented,” said by House Majority Leader Rep. Neptali Gonzales II (Mandaluyong)..

“Malaking karangalan na para sa Pilipinas ang narating ni Jessica. Congratulations sa kanya. Pero sa aking pagtingin mas magaling na mang-aawit si Jessica. Wala lang sa kanya ang home court advantage,” said by Negros Occidental Rep. Albee Benitez.

“Clearly mas magaling siya (Sanchez). Pangalawa, mas malaki ang silbi sa buong mundo kung si Jessica ang nanalo because she will inspire more people in Asia and Latin America. Sayang. But she’s clearly the bigger star now,” said by Marikina City Rep. Miro Quimbo.

However, Citizens’ Battle Against Corruption Rep. Sherwin Tugna could not believed that Miss Sanchez did not won over Phillip and express sadness : “Nakakalungkot man dahil second place si Jessica, ang buong sambayanan at lahing Pilipino ay very proud sa kanyang nakamit. She did the Filipino race very proud,”

But however, despite of the all dismay and consolation praises and commendation received by Miss Jessica Sanchez particularly on her mother homeland or home roots, the Philippines, she still felt no regrets about the result anyway according to her and call that protest about the result is not necessary for according to her Phillip deserve to be won and not her. She is happy about the result anyway despite her fellow Filipinos in the Philippines felt great dismay and sadness about the results that she did not won the US Reality TV show, American Idol.

“I don’t think it’s necessary. I think Phil deserves to win, I think it was all fair. They wouldn’t ever cheat or anything like that. I think it was completely fair.”

To wrapped up, most Filipinos are so ecstatic and emotional that sometimes they willfully forget that American Idol are just for Americans and not for Filipinos to receive the crown of “American Idol” because it is only for American. Miss Jessica Sanchez is not purely American to be honored to be American Idol for she has Filipino blood but however if the Americans themselves loves to hail a half-blood American to be their next American Idol, so it be.

Back On Music Stage

Leave a reply

Jazz music in the Philippines nowadays is no more famous and majority of Filipino music lovers have no appreciation of it except to oldies and young adults who has inborn inclination to this type of music like Sir Boy Katindig; but some teenagers and even young adults who has no inclination to it would not prefer rock songs, pop songs and ballad love songs.

The famous Philippine jazz icon is back again in the Philippine music stage after 30 years of being away from the music scene, that is Sir Boy Katindig or Roland “Boy” Katindig in real life in his strive to revive or discover new talents that has aspiration or inclination to jazz genre music among modern Filipinos young or adult.

In 1984 at the height of his jazz career, he left the Philippines and packed his way toward Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and then into Los Angeles United States in a hope for a better career in the field of music genre he is ace or expert upon of for the growing latest trend then at the peak of his music career is Punk Rock and New Wave type of music and the Philippine radio station which used to play jazz music that then, slowly reformatting into non-jazz radio station; the Philippine radio jazz station then WK-FM was slowly reformatting into non jazz station or was reformatted.

“I didn’t like what was happening then. Punk rock and new wave had become the “in” thing. Radio, my only medium for new songs, was changing – the jazz station WK-FM was reformatted. The Manila Hotel, where I was playing, was being boycotted as result of the rallies leading to the People Power revolution. My father who was already in the States, suggested that I go there and see if I would click with a different audience…”

Moreover, the place where he plays his jazz expertise, Manila Hotel, according to him was boycotted due to subsequent rallies that have led to the famous Philippine revolution, the People Power Revolution.
His father which is Romy Katindig who is also a great musician like his son Roland “Boy” Katindig, urged him and suggested Sir Boy Katindig to leave the Philippines despite his arising popularity due to government crisis happening there in the Philippines then. Sir Romy Katindig was then in the United States. Sir Romy Katindig is one of the famous musician in the Philippines back then and founded the Katindig Brothers.

At Malaysia, Sir Bor Katindig wrote more new masterpieces. In Kuala Lumpur or while he is in Malaysia, he got what he dream of –Success.
“..I initially tried my luck in Malaysia, where I wrote more new songs..It was a dream come true..”

He was first initially offered at the hotel where he and his company were performing, a lounge duo gig, wherein the owner of the hotel in Malaysia were impressed and then offered him what he deserved, a own band or a band of his own and put him on all the clubs of the owner of the hotel he was performing with.

He and some musicians that were organized by the owner of the hotel as band, named their band “The Waves”; and then he got an offer to be a musical director for all some of the top KL Bands or Kuala Lumpur Bands. He work then for two years and went to United States in 1986 at the prodding again of his father Sir Romy Katindig which according to him that his dad is indeed always the one who push him to his own success; and owe it to his father’s prodding.

Meanwhile, when he got to United States, according to him, he formed his own band again.

Steve Reid – for Rippingtons percussions

Mike Baker and Stanley Smith – who used to work with famous world singer who currently pass away, Whitney Houston; both play drums.

Mark Van Wagenigen and Smitty Smith – both play bass

Allen Hinds – play guitar.

According to him through his journey as a jazz musician on Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and Los Angeles city United States, he learns to be humble and focused.

“Staying humble and focused are just some of the values I have learned on my journey, both as musician and as a person. Being a musician is about life, not just about music. It’s also all about having relationships, having a family. One has to strike a balance .I also had to learn about the music business”

His first album during his stay at the United States was entitled “In Time”

“In 1993,I produced the album, ’In Time’, in which I played alongside Abraham Laboriel, Russ Freeman, Brandon Fields, Brenda Eager (of Luther Vandross) and Gerald Albright. But it was Michael Paulo that I did major collaboration with”

In regards to jazz music in the Philippines, he said it is no longer as famous as that time of its peak during 1980s; and according to him, he would like to revive it by holding a nationwide jazz songwriting competition.

“It is no longer as it was during our time. It was at its peak in the 1980s, when you suddenly see David Benoit in the audience; or Ronnie Laws walks in while you are playing; or the whole band of Al Jarreau jams at Vineyard. Back in the day, there were long queues at the venue during weekends. There was a time when Manila was a virtual jazz mecca. Now, we have practically been overtaken by our Asian neighbors like Indonesia where they hold the Java Jazz Fest annually. I believe it is because they love their own and the government supports musicians….I’d like to help by holding a nationwide jazz songwriting competition…”

Through the nationwide jazz songwriting competition that he will hold in the Philippines, he could discover new talents that he will take or include or his bands.

“With this competition, once we discover new talents, I can take them under my wing, promote them, sign them out up to a recording contract, maybe even have them guest in my own album..”

If one wants to join, according to Sir Boy Katindig one has to submit one’s one original composition and a cover of their original jazz piece.

“They have to submit one original composition and a cover of an original jazz piece aside from a record deal, they will also get to do gigs with me..”

Sir Boy Katindig and his team we’re planning to promote their nationwide jazz songwriting competition through road shows and campus tours.

“We’re planning to promote this nationwide, maybe do a road show or campus tours .Hopefully, this will snowball into something big. My dream is for young talents to shine, and not just end up as front acts for established performers. This is my way of encouraging the youth to tune into jazz and hopefully develop a passion for it..”
Furthermore, as he says, in order to develop one’s career, one has be a businessman; that one should know what one sells and one what one do not sells in their audience.

“I learned to accept that economics plays an important role in shaping one’s career. One needs to be a businessman and adjust. It is also about knowing what will sell with your audience..”

Two Pinay Won Cooking Fest

Leave a reply

Who says recycling a Vietnamese recipe into a brand new recipe or should I say tweaking some ingredients to it and the way it is cook, could won an international award in line of culinary arts contest by a culinary student?

Recently, a neophyte Filipino culinary student who according to her it is her first time to be on the international competition regarding of course cooking contests, ecstatically overwhelmed by her winning on the recent 35th World Association of Chef Societies (WACS) World Congress which was held in Daejeon, South Korea last May 1-5,2012. She won the silver medal on the Ethic Asian Meal Category which is the highest award on particular category.

“It is my first time to compete in an international culinary competition. When I was plating, I couldn’t mix the pesto with aspic. It didn’t blend well. It ate so much of my time. I panicked. Good thing, chefs Guia Angkaw and Mira Cruz pushed me and cheered me on. It merged well in the end. I also made sure my plating and presentation were clean and presentable.”

She is Maria Arneli Flores who is now graduating this year 2012 this coming August from Culinary Arts in Center for Culinary Arts – Manila (CCA-Manila) wherein before she enters or pursue culinary arts at Center of Culinary Arts – Manila, she have finished a course, which is Food Technology at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila Philippines; and she is only 25 years old.

According to her, she done many practices, before the competition in order to prepare yet still something went wrong, that is she can’t mix the pesto with aspic, which doesn’t blend well, but however, chefs on their team pushed her to continue what here doing and cheered her that is okay; and viola! According to her it blend well in the end; as if a miracle of her food course which she prepared panicky, have won her an award or a silver award on the Ethic Asian Meal category at the 35th World Association of Chef Societies (WACS) World Congress held in Daejeon, South Korea last May 1-5,2012.

She prepared three courses of three meals at the competition, namely: (1) Vietnamese Spring Rolls, wherein she tweaks upon (2) Stuffed Spicy Duck in Orange sauce with Stir-fried Rice in an Omelette Crepe with Broccoli Fan, and (3) a Rice Cake stuffed with Purple Yam filling topped with Sesame Tuile and Vanilla-flavored Red pearls with a coconut Pandan sauce; which is a dessert course or a dessert for a meal.

The stuffed Spicy Duck in Orange sauce with Stir-fried Rice in an Omelette Crepe with Broccoli Fan on it, is her main course which also won aside from the Vietnamese Spring Rolls which she tweaks; wherein she stuffed first the duck with a sautéed banana blossoms and marinated some meat in ginger, fish sauce (Patis in Tagalog or Filipino language) red chili, and orange juice. Then, she seared the stuffed ducks until it is golden brown.

After she seared the stuffed duck until it is golden brown she baked it on the oven of course, where she will bake it anyway. And then after the duck has been stuffed with Sautéed Banana Blossoms, marinated in Ginger, fish sauce, red chili and orange juice; Seared and then baked; she braised the stuffed duck in orange marinade and then serve.

But however, she didn’t serve the stuffed duck that has been stuffed with sautéed banana blossoms, marinated with ginger, red chili, fish sauce and orange juice, and seared until golden brown; baked, and then braised in orange marinade; with just stir-fried rice and put the duck on top. And for the dessert, she put a simple purple yam filling or ube in a molded rice cake rather than a mung beans or monggo fillings.

Anyway, for the Vietnamese Spring Rolls, which she tweaks, she rather instead put lettuce and aromatic leaves in the Spring rolls and then stirred up the aromatic leaves with mint and basil into a thickly pesto sauce and then the mixture of these leaves which she convert into a thick pesto sauce, she then use it as dipping sauce for the Vietnamese Spring Rolls.

However, she left the Vietnamese Spring Rolls unrolled or unwrapped yet its fillings were expose which are pork, prawns, wood ear mushrooms, crab meat, and vermicelli noodles.

Both of Maria Arneli Flores’s course or meals won a prize or award at the 35th World Association of Chef Societies (WACS) World Congress that was held in Daejeon, South Korea, last May 1-5,2012.
Meanwhile, for another Pinay who has won an award from the recent 35th World Association of Chef Societies(WACS) World Congress that was held in Daejeon, South Korea, last May 1-5,2012,she won an award from the Petit Fours/Pralines-Senior Category of the World cooking fest for her recipe praline recipe, Almond Malibu Globule.

Idiot and Homophobic

Leave a reply

Idol by every sports enthusiasts in the world because of his power punch fist but doubted by athlete’s analyst regarding the issue of the power vitamins he take and criticized sharply by his boxing opposing Mayweather for using illegal athlete’s drugs, as well as his critics and detractors because of his dubious winning streaks.

Previously then, he was mocked by some Filipinos in the Philippines regarding his stand on the “Reproductive Health Bill” or “RH Bill” issue showing his own stupidity basing his own opinion regarding the “Reproductive Health Bill” or “RH Bill” issue on bible verses alone; now another power punch has sit him right on his face.

His homophobic, heartless and idiot remarks regarding homosexuals and same sex marriage that they must be “put to death” because the Bible says so has spill the fresh hot soup of beans right in front of his own cold face which lead the homosexual community around the world to boycott him and make an online petition not to support him and drop him as endorser of Nike wherein the employees on the Nike company are mostly gays.

Here are his remarks that incensed the gay community:

He quoted a Biblical verse following Barack Obama’s announcement of support for same-sex marriage that according to him homosexuals should be put to death : ““God’s words first … obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man…. should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old…..’.. If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads,’..”

Meanwhile here the statements of others who were dismayed by Manny Pacquioa’s remarks:

“Nike is a multi-billion dollar industry and [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender] people contribute billions to this company. It is completely unacceptable that such a high-profile company should be sponsoring a boxer who is encouraging violence towards LGBT people. Tell Nike to drop its sponsorship..”

“No one who is a public figure, and or, a role model to people, especially children, can be allowed to call for the death of others. I am saddened by his closed-mindedness, but am horrified if Nike keeps him on as a spokesperson after such a violent comment, and violent view point,”

“…This is abominable! Probably a closet-case himself! SIGNED AND SHARED!!!

“…I’m honored to have the first signature. Nike should be ashamed for sponsoring such an intolerant, dimwitted, and frankly closed-minded individual. Obviously Manny has been hit in the head one to many times in the ring..”

“…..As a Filipino and as a mother, I am deeply disappointed and outraged at Manny’s inexcusable comments. Freedom of speech also comes with the sense to be responsible for your words, to think before you speak. Considering how many look up to him, many of them children, there is no excuse for this. Nike should not sponsor someone with this kind of hatred and ignorance towards others…”

“….I am 14 out of the closet bisexual..
This guy was my hero..
hearing this legit killed me oh well! :( ….”

“..Signed and spread all across facebook , this is ridiculous.. Perhaps big mouthed bigots should be put to death!..”

“Based on news reports of statements made by Mr. Pacquiao we have made it be known that he is not welcome at The Grove and will not be interviewed here now or in the future. The Grove is a gathering place for all Angelenos and not a place for intolerance.”

“..Although he doesn’t explicitly say it, Pac does cite Leviticus–implicitly suggesting gays should be put to death…”

“..Stand with millions of LGBT and fair minded-people the world over. Drop Manny Pacquiao now. Hatred surely does not = Nike..”

And other comments of people regarding Manny Pacquioa’s remarks regarding same-sex marriage.

Although he denied quoting the Leviticus book of the Bible wherein the hatred toward homosexuals is written, he cannot deny that his statements already says it so; how IDIOT he is!

However, lately he apologizes but still sarcastic and offensive of his opinions regarding gays and same-sex marriage, “…I’m not against gay people… We can’t help it if they were born that way. What I’m critical off (sic) are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God…”

Thus, he indeed from his heart Hate Homosexuals because “the Bible says so..”; how stupid but that is his belief anyway.

Anyway ,here is the petition letter:
“…
End Sponsorship of Homophobic Boxer Manny Pacquiao

NIKE: SAY NO to HATE SPEECH

Boxer Manny Pacquiao (based in LA) has been sponsored by Nike since 2008. Following Obama’s recent announcement of support for marriage equality, Pacquiao quoted bible excerpts to state that homosexuals should be put to death :

If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Nike is a multi-billion dollar industry and LGBT people contribute billions to this company. It is completely unacceptable that such a high-profile company should be sponsoring a boxer who is encouraging violence towards LGBT people. Tell Nike to drop its sponsorship!
—————-

Sincerely,
[Your name]
4,000 Signatures Reached! | May 16, 2012 …..”

Consequently, though he may apologize, Manny can no longer bring back the trust of gay community abroad and forever banned on their respective business despite recent reports that his boxing career is still intact and unaffected; that is so because business-minded people wants more profit to profit from him and obviously covering up Manny Pacquioa’s mistake or indeed not mistake at all for he mean it by his heart that homosexuals are not acceptable in the community and must be “put to death” ,”…. like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old…” because the “Christian God” says it so and because it is written in the Bible.

Na Siete Si Claudine

Has anyone knows Claudine nowadays? Since she left the TV network ABS-CBN Channel 2,her career becomes spinning down the drain up into no one already know who she is because rough times just shit(Siete)(7) her when she transfer to GMA Channel 7; from flop TV shows into rumor break-ups with her husband actor Raymart Santiago into financial bankruptcy; from her rumor return to TV network ABS-CBN Channel 2;and now into controversial heat up together with her husband Raymart Santiago with columnist Ramon Tulfo at the arrival area of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 last Sunday, May 6,2012.

The brawl started according to reports that when actress Ms. Claudine Barreto reprimanded the flight attendant of the Cebu Pacific Airlines when she found out some of her luggage were missing then she saw an unknown man taking coverage or taking pictures what was happening with her with the flight attendant while she bash loudly in front of the other passengers regarding their missing luggage which according to Ms. Barreto and her group was left or off-loaded by a personnel at Aklan airport without their consent from their Boracay trip when they arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 thru Cebu Pacific Airlines.

Her husband actor Raymart Santiago or Martin Santiago in real life confronted the unknown man taking advantage of her wife bashing acts and found out to be the columnist Ramon Tulfo who happens to be on the arrival area also from his trip from Davao. According to columnist Ramon Tulfo, at first he felt pity for what happened to celebrity couple Raymart and Claudine but change his heart when he saw the tongue lashing acts of Ms. Barreto to an ordinary flight attendant and then took advantage the incident as a journalist who seeks interesting, controversial and juicy reports.

Who the first who took the punch and skirmish was not yet known for the incident is still under investigation, however, both parties blame it’s the other party who started the brawl, thus both file counter charges. Sad to say the incident was not caught by a close circuit television (CCTV) cameras according to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 manager Octavio Lina.

The incident is now the talk of the town and actress Ms. Claudine Barreto’s career just become worst because of the said incident or brawl. Her showbiz career just become more “Shit”(Siete :7) since she transfer to GMA Channel 7 for if it is not why her showbiz becomes lie low.

More unpleasant incidents involving her, her Philippine showbiz career will become doom or she will become one of the forgotten actresses on the Philippine entertainment industry.

Bad Luck For Sharon

Leave a reply

Has the career of the A-list and famous Philippine actress and TV host Ms. Sharon Cuneta on trouble waters upon making a big decision to transfer to third class TV network TV5 from the first class TV network –ABS-CBN channel 2;for she was continually bombarded with bad public criticisms lately because of her transfer to TV5?

She herself admitted that she was affected and annoyed by bad public criticisms on her move and was hurt, “All of a sudden ang sama-sama naming. It’s unfair to us artists, because this is our choice..,ang sakit-sakit naman ng mga paratang..”

Her move to TV 5 was cast in a bad light by those who admire her on the Kapamilya Network (ABS-CBN) as “Mukhang Pera” and was spread on media; prints and online. Her admirers wants her to stay on the Kapamilya Network, thus her sudden move was resented by her admirers for, for 23 years she was in the Kapamilya Network and they was hurt by her move which Ms. Cuneta could not comprehend why some react this way and that and in the same way her admirers on the Kapamilya Network could not comprehend why also.

“Nasaktan ako kasi some people thought it was the one billion..I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I get labeled mukhang pera…..Pinaghirapan ko naman ito for more than 30 years..”, she confessed.

However, though she transfer to TV5 she has no any resentment or hurt feelings toward her former bosses in the Kapmilya Network, as well as also her former bosses in the Kapamilya Network toward her; they respect her decision as she respect them.

It is only the public that is making noise regarding her transfer to TV5, but however, it is the public itself who make her Star and famous Celebrity.

Thus, if she was continually cast upon a bad light by public viewers, her TV career or her career itself will be really on the bad luck since her new show in TV 5,which entitled : “ Sharon: Kasama Mo,Kapatid” is similar to her talk show on the Kapamilya Network. “ …I thought I deserved, and wanted my name on my show again. And it was TV 5 that gave it to me..”

Seems like another Willie and Wowowee transferring into TV5 as Willie and Willing-Willie and because of bad publicity it was reformatted into Wil Time Bigtime; so what will happen to Ms. Cuneta if her new show on TV 5 is a copy cat; “You are (It is) nothing but a second-rate, trying hard copycat!” Let us see what will happen on her second-rate copycat TT show on TV 5..

Biases, Bribes and Blackmails of Noynoy?

1 Reply

Even though the appointment of Chief Justice Renato Corona is really legal and constitutional as certified by the Supreme Court and Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) and the only whine of Noynoy and his ally is that Chief Justice Corona is appointed within the ban period and alleged ally of former Philippine president now Pampanga representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, still some congressmen and women in the House of Representatives sell their souls in exchange for money and fear as one of the true ally of Noynoy spill the beans and let the cat out from the bag as he confess he could no longer bear in his conscience what Noynoy wants them to do just only to impeach Chief Justice Renato Corona and reveals the illegal stuff Noynoy camp is cooking.

Navotas representative Toby Tiangco expressed his disappointment against PNoy’s illegal actions and could not bear the railroaded impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona which is clearly illegal or unconstitutional because it lack due process and they were blackmail to vote for “yes” else their priority development assistance fund (PDAF) or widely known as “pork barrel” will not be release but if they blindly vote “yes” on complaint, additional support will be bestowed to them from the President himself, ala “thank you gift”? Thus, consequently he resigns because he could not exchange the integrity of the House of Representative for money. Those solons who disregard the rule of the law in exchange for money have damaged the integrity of the House he said.

“I admired the president and his wish for the straight path for the country. I know that the President himself is an example of one who follows the laws of the land… So, it seems inconsistent that a President, who follows basic traffic rules, does not want due process to be followed.. At the opening of the Majority caucus (Monday), I was shocked to hear the opening statement of the leadership of the House (saying) that because of the alleged association of Chief Justice Corona to his patron, the former President Gloria Arroyo, he is the obstacle to the plans of the President, and that the only thing to do is to remove the Chief Justice… We were clearly given two choices: to sign or not to sign, But the worst part of it all is that that no questions would be entertained.”

The proof of what Navotas representative Toby Tiangco have said regarding the denial or non-release of their priority development assistance fund (PDAF) was seen upon Batangas Rep. Hermilando Mandanas which was instantly removed from his post by not signing “yes” on the complaint.

“ Knowing PNoy, we are very sure that our constituents in our districts would most certainly suffer if we did not sign the articles of impeachment because Malacañang would find every excuse to make sure that our entitlements are not released. His fight against Corona is truly personal,” – source from The Daily Tribune

However, as the rift between the executive and judiciary branch of the government of the Philippines perpetrated by the no less than the current Philippine president himself, PNoy; progress, the real agenda and motif of PNoy why he hates so much Chief Justice Corona aside from Corona affiliation with Mrs. Arroyo; truly ,it is indeed the distribution of Hacienda Luisita to its farmers makes PNoy goes mad on impeaching Chief Justice Corona whatever means in order to reverse the ruling of the Supreme Court regarding the distribution of it by appointing a new Chief Justice that will favor his desire and commands as the source said in the Daily tribune newspaper that Noynoy was berated by the elder Cojuangco if they lose the hacienda under his administration.

“From the time of (President Ramon) Magsasay, the hacienda land was never lost. When Martial Law came, we still did not lose our land. GMA (Gloria Arroyo) and Cory had a fight during GMA’s presidency, we Cojuangcos still did not lose our land. Now that that you (Noynoy) are president, we lose the hacienda!… You are the reason for our loss of the hacienda, because even the Supreme Court you had to fight with!,”

Yup, it is indeed a crying shame and disgrace for Noynoy on his Cojuangco relatives if they lose the hacienda at the hands of their own relative being as the President of the Philippines; thus Noynoy will do his best to please his Cojuanco relatives using the guise of “pro-poor” and “anti-corruption drive” and forget his mandate to uphold democracy and rule of the law.

Piolo’s Mistake

Leave a reply

After the controversial break-up of the famous Filipino celebrity real life erstwhile sweethearts KC Conception and Piolo Pascual, still Filipinos interpret the almost explicit meaning of the mushy statements of KC Conception on the TV program “The Buzz” as an indication of clear proof of conviction of the past lingering rumors that Mr. Piolo Pascual is indeed a gay man, though KC Conception never directly and plainly stated it as the cause of their break up!
According to her, all this time as she was in a relationship with Mr. Pascual, as a real woman she can’t even find the man every woman look for a man in a heterosexual relationship from Mr. Pascual. Yet despite of this missing piece she diligently seek and expect from Mr. Pascual as a standard qualification or distinction of a real man, she still patient and longsuffering to understand Mr. Pascual all the way for she believes that Mr. Pascual is a good man and because she loves Mr. Pascual.

But she is only human and woman that need the real affection of a real man and this overwhelming lacking in her relationship with Mr. Pascual have already finally drive her to succumb into a realization that she could not be the one Mr. Pascual really need and that Mr. Pascual could be looking for someone which every real woman like her could not give. She finally break her silence and sob in a national television on the Philippine TV program “The Buzz” and reveal she has been keeping all this time in her heart in her relationship with Mr. Pascual.

Consequently, the general Filipino public are quick to conclude and judge that Mr. Pascual is indeed gay and some uneducated Filipinos even mock Mr. Pascual on social networking sites hoping they could find revenge for Ms. Concepcion but to no good because these Filipinos who mock Mr. Pascual as gay only shows that Filipinos have base morals and practicing hate crime against homosexuals. It is understandable that there is no law that punishes hate activities in the Philippines since it is a “demo-crazy” form of government, thus any one can do whatever they want to do.

Moreover, this mal-educated Filipinos even accused Mr. Piolo Pascual of deceiving the public for hiding his real gender and pretend to be straight gay without even a confirmation from Mr. Pascual himself that he is indeed gay man. And though he may be a gay man, it is understandable for a closet gay to not reveal their real gender on the intolerant and morally hypocrite public; much even more, if one is a famous celebrity. If ordinary common closet gay guys felt the fear, pressure and suffering for hiding their real color; what more if one is a famous celebrity like Mr. Pascual?

But some Filipino do not understand this because some Filipinos are morally hypocrite because Catholicism dominates their moral line of thinking, thus influenced and brainwashed to hate homosexuals.
This could be Piolo’s biggest mistake in his own career if some Filipinos are still close-minded about whatever the reason for his break-up with Ms .Concepcion that he should quickly fix before his showbiz career will slowly fade away.

Some of KC Concepcion’s statement that brings someone to think that Mr.Pascual could be gay :

“May mga hinahanap ako na napaka basic lang na hanapin ng isang babae sa isang boyfriend,sa isang lalaki.Ayoko nang pumunta pa sa details kasi ayaw kong siraan siya..” (“There are that I am looking for which is basic for a woman to look for a boyfriend, for a man. I don’t want to go further in the details for I don’t want to malign him”)

“Masakit man sabihin,siguro ay nag-fail din ako dahil hindi ako ‘yung Kailangan niya sa buhay niya.Or hindi ako ‘yung hinahanap niya sa buhay niya.And hindi,hndi ko maibigay sa kanya ‘yung kailangan niya” (Even if it is hard to say it,perhaps I fail also that I am not the one he needs in his life. Or I am not the one he is looking for in his life. And I am not able to give that what he needs.”)
