Philippine President Noynoy Aquino Parties With Valerie Concepcion while Mindanao Suffers from Flooding
Monday, December 19th, 2011
You heard it right folks, the retarded president was partying at the aftermath of the disaster. You don’t hear a peep from him. If it weren’t for the social networks, nobody would know what he did and what the heck is he up to. How strange that he’s nowhere to be found when disaster strikes what an incompetent president.
Posted in Local News | No Comments »MANILA, Philippines — The partylist group Kabataan on Monday criticized President Benigno Aquino III for reportedly partying as thousands suffer from the brunt of typhoon Sendong.
At the same time, Representative Raymond Palatino said the President’s veto in the 2011 budget of the P5 billion for disaster preparation has weakened the government’s capacity to respond to natural disasters.
Late Saturday, Palatino said that television host and actress Valerie Concepcion tweeted about performing in a party in Malacanang. She said Aquino laughed as her jokes and enjoyed her performance.
“Done w/ work.. Tnx for having me..
It was nice to see Pres. P-Noy laughing at my jokes & enjoying my performance..ü #Malacañang #PSGNight,” according to Concepcion’s tweet.

Filipino Restaurant Chickboy Sues Customer for Posting Photos of Food Contaminated with Caterpillar
Thursday, December 15th, 2011
When the infamous Chickboy’s caterpillar “Kangkong” photo was posted on facebook by Sigrid Bernardo, the photos instantly went viral. I just noticed that the caterpillar looks way bigger than the chopped kangkong. Before anyone would scream that this one’s a set-up. Caterpillars are normally green in color, the cook might have missed it when it was thrown into the frying pan.
Instead of issuing an apology the resto issued this statement:
Chicboy Lechon
To all our Patrons, Franchisees and employees, thank you for your comment of support and advises to file a libel case against the writer. We will definitely file a Libel case. We just had to finish our complaint affidavit for filing with the fiscal office. We will definitely not take this sitting down.
Having some zealous admin managing the “Chickboy Fanpage” account didn’t help either when they posted negative status on their facebook. Like some bunch of juveniles. Will the restaurant survive this predicament or will they be forced to close shop?

Miss Earth USA Posted in her Facebook that Manila is Dirty and Noisy
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011
I saw this being posted around on facebook that Miss Earth USA thinks that the country is dirty and noisy. On top of it, she was annoyed at the ridiculous game show. I can’t blame her really, some parts of Manila is indeed dirty and noisy. Why must the organizers held the venue in hellhole called Manila when they could have chosen cleaner and beautiful areas in Philippines. Not to mention having the contestants parade in some stupid noontime show. Let’s face it, noontime shows here are garbage and nothing but a glorified peryahan. The girl speaks nothing but the truth.

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011
Who would have thought that Westlife would disband next year after more than 14 years in the business. I guess they’ve been thinking that their act is getting old and needs to try other stuff. I don’t think the disband is for good though. Who knows they might have a reunion concert when they need the cash. That would be weird if they come back again 20 years from now.
Posted in Global | No Comments »Nagulat ang lahat kahapon, Oktubre 19, nang maglabas ng official statement ang grupo sa kanilang Facebook site tungkol sa pagdi-disband ng grupo sa susunod na taon.
Ang Westlife ay isang Irish boy band na binubuo nina Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, at Shane Filan. Kasama rin nila noon si Brian McFadden na umalis sa grupo noong 2004.
Matapos nilang magsama-sama sa loob ng 14 na taon, sinabi nila na ang dahilan ng kanilang paghihiwalay ay “to have a well-earned break and look at new ventures.”
Nakatakdang ma-disband ang grupo matapos ang release ng kanilang Greatest Hits album sa Nobyembre 21, at ang gagawin nilang Farewell Tour sa susunod na taon.

British Boy Band Wants Filipino Boxer Manny Pacquiao as 5th Member
Friday, October 21st, 2011
British classical quartet Blake will be performing at The Gallery in Greenbelt 5 on October 21 at 6:30 pm. I haven’t heard about this group but the only thing I know about them is they want that off tuned boxer Manny Pacquiao as their 5th member. They’ve got to be joking right?
Are they really sure they want this guy to perform with them along in front the royalty? Aside from boxing and siring illegitimate children, I can’t think of other things this guy is good at.
Further asked about which international musical acts and artists they would still love to work with, the band stands united in picking out Pound for Pound Boxing Champion Manny Pacquiao.
“For some time now we wanted Manny Pacquiao to be our fifth member. We’re very much hoping that he might agree!”
Candidly, Jules suddenly turns to the cameras rolling and gives a shout out: “Manny, if you’re watching, we’d love you to be the fifth member of Blake. We wanna do a song with you!”
Humphrey added that the band agreed on two things about The Pacman— that he has a great voice and the other, a great left hook!

Thursday, October 20th, 2011
I really have no idea what Governor Vilma Santos and Vice Governor Leviste had been smoking to come up with this stupid idea to place “Batangas” signage on Taal Volcano. How will this Hollywood inspired signage draw in more tourist for Batangas? Hollywood draws in tourist because of its reputation as movie capital of America and not because of the signage. Better left the sleeping volcano lie.
Posted in Local News | No Comments »BATANGAS CITY—It was something only a movie star could have conceived. Why not put up a towering “Batangas” sign on Taal Volcano island similar to the “Hollywood” sign in Los Angeles, California?
The provincial council approved on October 5 a resolution supporting the idea of Governor Vilma Santos-Recto, the award-winning actress, to erect a hard-to-miss landmark and potential tourism draw, according to Vice Governor Mark Leviste II.Emelie Katigbak, officer in charge of the Batangas tourism office, said floating restaurants or fish pens can be set up on Taal Lake in such a way that their layout would form the famous Batangueño expression “Ala Eh.”
It could be such a dazzling sight especially if lit up at night, she said.
The font would be similar to that of the iconic Hollywood signage, the official added.“It is not an out-of-this-world concept. It’s a simple development which can easily attract attention and even visitors to the area,” Leviste said.In a text message, Tagaytay City Mayor Abraham Tolentino maintained that the city had never laid claim to either the lake or the volcano.
“However, the best view of Taal Volcano is from the ridge of Tagaytay City where the best photos are shot, the best hotels and restaurants are found and the perfect weather is felt,” Tolentino said.Tolentino, however, questioned the Hollywood-inspired design for the island, flatly saying: “Why put up a Batangas sign? It won’t help.”
“People, while sipping a cup of coffee, will just say that the view is more beautiful from Tagaytay without that sign,” Tolentino said with a hint of a warning.Source: Inquirer
Pinoy Superman Herbert Chavez Undergoes Cosmetic Surgery to look like Superman
Monday, October 3rd, 2011
I never knew anything about Herbert Chavez until he got featured at Bandila. It was intriguing to hear that this guy underwent so many cosmetic to look like Superman. In fact he even plans to go to Japan to augment his height, well goodluck with that. He still looks a bit unnatural since I was expecting superman to be more masculine rather than feminine looking. I’m curious what he does for a living to be able to afford the surgeries.

Filipino Employee Suspended over DPWH Officials Photoshop Fail
Monday, October 3rd, 2011
I truly felt sorry for the employee that got suspended for the photoshop fiasco of DPWH officials. What seemed to be an innocent photoshop job has turned into an all out meme fest. To save these three stooges’ faces, as usual the lowly employee takes all the heat. Who are they kidding right? No employee would do the job without permission from the higher ups.
DPWH MEME: https://www.facebook.com/pages/DPWHERE/147529172009029?sk=photos
Posted in Local News | No Comments »MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine government has suspended an employee who posted a fake image on Facebook of three senior officials inspecting the typhoon-ravaged Manila Bay.
The photoshopped image was discovered last week by a blogger and has become a sensation. Other bloggers mocked the Department of Public Works and Highways by making more fake images of the three officials standing in the “Last Supper” and some other iconic paintings and movie posters.
