JOHN LLOYD, tuloy pa rin ang sitcom sa GMA-7 at posibleng magtambal rin sila ni BEA

Posted on: September 17th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MATAPOS mabalitang nakipag-usap na si John Lloyd Cruz kay GMA Executive Ms. Annette Gozon-Valdes, pinag-usapan na ng mga netizens kung lilipat na si Lloydie sa GMA Network.

Nabalita rin na ipagpu-produce siya ni Willie Revillame ng isang sitcom sa GMA na ididirek ni Bobot Mortiz. Pero nawala na ang balitang iyon at hindi na raw matutuloy.

Sumunod na nabalitang gagawin muna ni Lloydie ang isang movie na pagtatambalan nila ng paborito niyang leading lady, si Bea Alonzo, mas uuanahin daw ito ni Bea kaysa sa movie na gagawin naman niya with Alden Richards sa Viva Films, GMA Pictures at APT Entertainment, dahil Kapuso na siya.

Sumunod na nabalitang nagkakaroon daw ng problema sa talent fee ni Lloydie.

But now, balita na tuloy na raw talaga ang sitcom na gagawin ni Lloydie at pinag-aaralan na lamang ang talent fee niya.

Ang tanong din, kung tuloy pa bang si Andrea Torres ang magiging leading lady ni Lloydie?

BACK to work na muli si Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha, as one of the Panel Judges ng original GMA musical competition na The Clash na nasa fourth season na.

Matatandaan na hindi natapos ni Lani ang work niya sa The Clash 3 at pinalitan muna siya pansamantala ni Concert Queen Pops Fernandez.

Nagkaroon kasi siya at ang husband niya ng tinatawag na bacterial meningitis, kaya na-confine sila ng ilang araw sa ICU ng isang ospital. Nawalan ng balance si Lani at nahirapang makarinig ang isang ear niya.

Kaya nang mag-guest si Lani sa GMA morning show na Unang Hirit at kinumusta siya ng UH Barkada, sagot ni Lani: “Mabuti naman ang kalagayan ko, pati na rin ang husband ko.

“Okay na kami, and thankful, pero siyempre, tulad ng kasabihan na kapag binagyo ka, medyo may iniwang damage yung bagyo. Parang ganon ang nangyari sa amin.”

Ngayong maayos na ang kalagayan ni Lani, regular na rin siyang napapanood every Sunday sa noontime show na All-Out Sundays at magsisimula na silang mag-taping ng mga episodes ng The Clash 4 with Asia’s Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista at Comedy Queen Aiai delas Alas.

Mga hosts pa rin sina Julie Anne San Jose at Rayver Cruz at Journey hosts naman sina Ken Chan at Rita Daniela.

Paglipat ni LOVI sa ABS-CBN, malaking factor ang gagawing serye with PIOLO

Posted on: September 17th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

ILAN sa lumalabas na balita kung bakit daw lumipat ng ABS-CBN si Lovi Poe mula sa GMA-7, nandiyang hindi na ito ni-renew ng Kapuso network.

Meron din na hindi raw ito pumayag dahil mas mababa ang offer sa renewal of contract niya, kumpara sa nakaraan.

Pero ano man ang dahilan, siguro malaking factor rin ang in-offer na seryeng gagawin niya katambal si Piolo Pascual.

Napanood namin ang Korean series na Flower of Evil kunsaan, ang gagampanan niya ay ang role ng Korean actress na si Moon Chae Won, which is, ‘yung drama itself ay talagang maganda, pang-acting at kakaiba.

Pyscho drama ito though ang pinaka-challenge ng character, mas kay Piolo. Kaya siguro kahit naririnig namin dati na ‘di na gagawa ng teleserye, ‘di nahindian ang adaptation ng Flower of Evil.

Sa part naman ni Lovi sa network transfer niya, ang ganda ng ipinost niya bilang pasasalamat sa GMA at bago pa siya mag-post about her new network, ‘yun muna ang ginawa niya.

Bilib kami sa mga artistang lumilipat man, pero hindi nagbe-burn ng bridges.

Sey ni Lovi, “Mananatili sa Puso

“Hindi po biro ang 15 years. I would like to thank GMA for taking a chance on this unknown dreamer; for believing in me and supporting me all these years. I have utmost respect and gratitude to the network that has given me my roots and a heart full of memories.

“Thank you for planting my dreams. Thank you for giving it time, love and effort to water it.

“Punong puno ng pagmamahal

at pasasalamat ,

“Lovi Poe”

NGAYONG September ang talagang wedding date ni Kris Bernal sa kanyang fiancée na si Perry Choi.

Na-move na nga ito pero base sa caption ni Kris sa kanyang latest vlog. Mukhang may chance na mabago pa rin daw depende sa magiging quarantine classification ng IATF.

Ayon kay Kris, “The wedding preps will continue mapa-anong lockdown pa! Few more days before the wedding!! Are you excited? Though the wedding date is heavily dependent on the COVID-19 restriction announcement of IATF tomorrow! Again, there’s a possibility of moving it again. I’m hoping and praying na mag-open ang church as it’s really a dream of mine to walk down the aisle!”

Pero sini-share nga ni Kris sa kanyang vlog ang mga ginagawa nilang wedding preparation ng kanyang future husband. Pati ang pakikipag-usap nila sa simbahan kunsaan sila ikakasal.

Nagulat ito nang malaman na bawal sa bride na kitang-kita ang cleavage. Kaya sinigurado ni Kris na hanggang saan lang daw pwedeng medyo revealing ang front ng gown niya at the same time, hanggang saan lang din pwede yung backless gown.

Sey niya, “Naku, kailangan ko pa palang kausapin ‘yung (designer)… sige po, I’ll take note po.”

At parang humihirit pa ito at nagtanong kung may nangyari na raw na dumating sa simbahan ang bride na very revealing talaga ang gown. Sinagot naman ang tanong ni Kris, tuloy pa rin daw ang kasal, pero ang makakagalitan daw after ay silang mga in-charge.

Sa Magallanes Church ang wedding. Si Kris daw mismo ang pumili ng church dahil bet nito ang wide door ng church, ambience at lighting.

At sabi ni Kris, “Ako talaga, dream wedding ko talaga sa lahat ng napapanood ko sa movies, kahit sa mga seryeng ginagawa ko, gusto ko ‘yung opening ng door at doon lalabas si bride, gusto ko talaga ‘yun.”

Sa ending ng video habang tsine-check nito ang magiging invitation nila, umiral ang pagtitipid ni Kris.

Hirit niya, “Pwedeng ‘yung mura lang? Nagpapatayo kasi kami ng bahay, e. Every peso counts.”

Panelo, binanatan ang Senado sa pagdaraos ng ‘question hour’, at hindi imbestigasyon ‘in aid of legislation’

Posted on: September 17th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

BINANSAGAN ni Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo ang Senate hearings ukol sa di umano’y korapsyon sa pamahalaan sa gitna ng coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic bilang “question hour” at hindi true-blue investigation “in aid of legislation”.

Ginamit ni Panelo ang posisyon ng Korte Suprema na “takes judicial cognizance of the fact that the right of Congress to conduct inquiries in aid of legislation is susceptible to abuse”.

“For one, the inquiry itself might not properly be in aid of legislation and just be a veiled usurpation of judicial functions — similar to what is happening now,” ayon kay Panelo na ang tinutukoy ay ang Senate hearings.

Aniya, “SC had established in the Senate vs. Ermita case that a question hour under Section 22, Article VI of the 1987 Constitution is different from inquiries in aid of legislation under Section 21.”

“The former does not empower the Senate to resort to compulsory processes and compel the attendance of department heads belonging to the executive branch,” binigyang diin ni Panelo.

“What the Senate is performing now is, at most, its authority under Section 22 on question hour as we note that no new legislation is being contemplated by its members. Hence, it may not compel department heads to attend its hearings nor cite them in contempt if they refuse to participate,” paliwanag nito.

Sa “Talk to the People” public briefing na inere araw ng Martes ay ipinag-utos ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte sa kanyang mga Cabinet officials– kanyang mga “alter egos” sa pamahalaan na kumuha muna ng permiso sa kanya bago pa dumalo sa Senate hearings kung saan sila inimbitahan.

“This was actually the ruling in Senate vs. Ermita where the Supreme Court upheld as valid the provisions in EO (Executive Order) 464 requiring department heads to secure the consent of the President prior to appearing before the Congress in relation to Section 22 on question hour,” ayon kay Panelo, tinukoy nito ang ginawang pagpapalabas ni dating Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Gayunman, sa palagay naman ni Panelo, ang “prior consent” rule ni Pangulong Duterte ay mananatili kahit pa baguhin ng Senado ang kanilang proceedings at gawin ang tamang imbestigasyon “in aid of legislation,” o para sa layunining makalikha ng batas.

“If, by any chance, the Senate is able to convert its hearings to one that is in aid of legislation, then the President’s directive still stands as invitations may be assessed on a case-to-case basis to determine if executive privilege may be invoked.” anito.

“In sum, it behooves Congress (House of Representatives and Senate) to keep itself in check in its ostensible conduct of official business, lest it transgress the limits prescribed by the Constitution,” konklusyon ni Panelo.

Samantala, inakusahan naman ni Pangulong Duterte ang mga senador na nagsasagaaw ang pagdinig ng naghahanap lamang ng atensyon a t media mileage dahil papalapit na ang halalan sa bansa. (Daris Jose)

Nicolas Cage says he is never going to retire from acting

Posted on: September 17th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

ONE of the most recognized actors of his time, Nicolas Cage’s formidable career has spanned three decades with roles in iconic films, including Adaptation, National Treasure, Face/Off, and Leaving Las Vegas – the film that snagged him an Oscar win.

Noted for his eccentric personality, Cage has developed a reputation for his extreme method acting. Occasions of Cage plunging into experiences to relate to his onscreen characters have included adopting a steak-only diet for months, removing teeth without anesthesia, and snorting saccharin to embrace the mindset of a drug addict.

The Con Air star’s quirky style of perfecting his craft has also translated to his personal life. Recently, Cage’s compelling performance in the thriller drama, Pig, has been hailed as one of the actor’s best of his career and seems to have broken his bad movie streak. Now, Cage reveals how long he plans on staying in show business.

In his interview with EW, the actor reveals that he never plans to retire. Promoting his new film, Prisoners of the Ghostland, Cage declared that he’s healthier and more positive when he’s working on a role and that he plans on being in the industry for the rest of his life.

Citing that his list of credits is up to 117 films, Cage said he never thought of himself as working too much. However, Cage admitted he would like to take some time off soon so he can recharge.

Cage said when retirement was mentioned, “No, no, no. No, no. That can’t happen. To do what I do in cinema has been like a guardian angel for me, and I need it. I’m healthier when I’m working, I need a positive place to express my life experience, and filmmaking has given me that. So I’m never going to retire. Where are we now, 117 movies? What’s funny is, my argument with people who go, ‘You work too much,’ was ‘I like working, and it’s healthy, I’m happy when I’m working, and by the way, guys like Cagney and Bogart, they were doing hundreds of movies.’ And then I went, ‘I’d better check that,’ and I went, ‘Oops…’

Indeed, Cage and his career show no sign of slowing down. Slated to star in his first Western film, The Old Way, Cage continues to scope out roles in independent films, after admitting that he fears the Hollywood scene. Of course, Cage will soon unveil a new range of creative freedom with the premise of his upcoming meta-drama film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which stars Cage as himself.

Considered a legend in the industry, Cage has certainly made a string of films that have flopped, but the actor is a staple in the entertainment world and has a long career ahead of him.

Cage’s career continued to have highs and lows, but there is no denying the actor is constantly looking for his next mark. No doubt, the actor continuously surprises his audience and appears to have a surplus of real-life experiences to incorporate into his characters.

While it remains to be seen how many films Nicolas Cage will stock on his roster, it would be fitting for him to be honored in the future as the actor who never retired.

Posted on: September 17th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

ITINALAGA ni Pope Francis ang Filipino Dominican na si Fr.Albino Barrera , isang theologian at economist bilang miyembro ng Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.

Nakabase sa United States ang 65 taong gulang na pari na moral theologian at professor ng economics at theology sa Providence College sa Rhode Island.

Ayon sa Catholic Bishoos Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), inanunsyo ng Vatican ang pagkakatalaga ni Fr.Barrera nitong Martes, September 14.

Itinatag ni Pope John Paul II noong 1994, nilalayon ng Pontifical Academy of Social Science na pag-aralan at talakayin ang pag-usad ng mga agham panlipunan, pangunahin sa ekonomiya, sociology, law at political science.

“The Academy helps offer the Church those elements which she can use in the development of her social doctrine, and reflects on the application of that doctrine in contemporary society,” ayon sa Vatican News.

Si Fr.Barrera ay ipinanganak sa Manila at naordenahan bilang pari para sa Dominican Order noong 1993.

Nag-aral ng engineering sa De La Salle University sa Manila at nakakuha ng doctorate sa economics mula Yale University noong 1988.

Nang maglaon ay nakakuha ang pari ng degree sa sagradong teolohiya mula sa Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception sa Washington, D.C., noong 1994.

Si Fr. Barrera ay may-akda rin ng maraming mga pahayagan sa larangan ng moral theology, economic ethics, development at international trade.

Noong 2013, ang Dominican Province of St. Joseph ipinagkaloob sa kanya ang degree ng Master of Sacred Theology para sa kanyang “outstanding contribution to the theological sciences”. (GENE ADSUARA)

ICC, walang hurisdiksyon sa PInas- Panelo

Posted on: September 17th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NANINDIGAN ang Malakanyang na walang hurisdiksyon ang International Criminal Court (ICC) sa Pilipinas.

Ang katuwiran ni chief presidential legal counsel Salvador Panelo, matagal ng kumalas ang bansa mula sa Rome Statute.

Tugon rin ito ni Panelo sa naging desisyon ng ICC na payagan ang imbestigasyon sa nangyaring pagpatay na kinalaman sa war on drugs sa bansa.

“Nilalabag nila ang ating karapatan, that’s interference into our domestic affairs,” ayon kay Sec. Panelo.

Matatandaang, opisyal na kumalas ang Pilipinas mula saRome Statute — tratado na nagtatag sa ICC — noong Marso 17, 2019.

Sa isang kalatas, sinabi ng ICC na pinayagan ng Pre-Trial Chamber 1 ang naging kahilingan ni dating Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda noong Hunyo 14 na imbestigahan ang krimen ng di umano’y nangyari sa Pilipinas sa pagitan ng Nobyembre 2011 at Marso 16 2019 sa tinatawag na ‘war on drugs’ campaign.”

Sinabi ng ICC na ang “specific legal element of crime against humanity of murder” ay sinasabing di umano’y nakita sa war on drugs sa panahon ng mula Hulyo 1, 2016 —isang araw matapos na manumpa sa tungkulin si Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte bilang chief executive — hanggang Marso 16, 2019, isang araw bago pormal na kumalas ang bansa sa Rome Statute.

Giit ni Panelo, makapagsasagawa lamang ang ICC ng imbestigasyon kung ang estado ay walang gumaganang judicial system kung saan hindi aplikable sa Pilipinas.

“‘Yung ating bansa, napakalusog ng judicial system. Alam natin na lahat ng mga kaso na hinahain napo-prosecute, meron tayong process na sinusunod,” anito.

“At kung willing man ay wala silang kakayahang mag-prosecute,” dagdag na pahayag ni Panelo.

Aniya pa, hindi naman mapipilit ng Rome Statute ang PIlipinas dahil ” it was not published in the Philippine government publication.”

“Yang Rome Statute, ever since that is not enforceable because from the very beginning hindi yan lumabas sa Official Gazette. And our civil law requires public case on the penal law or any law on the Official Gazette bago ito ipatutupad. Hindi nangyari yan,” ani Panelo.

Kaya nga, para kay Panelo ay wala namang bago sa “latest development” na ito kaugnay sa ICC.

“Hindi naman bago yan, talagang ever since pinagpipilitan nila ,” aniya pa rin.

Imbestigasyon sa ‘drug war’ ng Pinas sisimulan na

Posted on: September 17th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Inanunsiyo ng International Criminal Court (ICC) na kanilang sisimulan sa Oktubre ang pag-iimbestiga sa kampanya sa iligal na droga ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

Sa inilabas na pahayag, pinayagan na ng Pre-Trial Chamber ang hiling ng ICC Prosecutor’s na ituloy na ang imbestigasyon sa programa na drug war sa bansa mula Hulyo 2016 nang maupo sa puwesto si Pangulong Duterte hanggang Marso 16, 2019 ng mag-withdraw ang Pilipinas sa Rome Statute.

Sakop ng imbestigasyon ang patayan daw sa Davao City mula Nobyembre 2011 hanggang Hunyo 30, 2016 kung saan nakaupong alkalde at vice mayor ang pangulo noon.

“Similarities in the modus operandi are also discernible,” ani ICC chamber.” “For this reason, the Chamber considers, at the present stage, and to the required standard, that there are similarities between the killings in the Davao area in 2011-2016 and the so-called ‘war on drugs’ campaign which merit further investigation.”

Dagdag pa ng ICC, isa umanong paglabag sa karapatang pantao ang nasabing “war on drugs” kahit na ilang beses na sinabi ng mga otoridad sa Pilipinas na ito ay legal na operasyon.

Itinaguyod noong taong 2002 ang ICC na siyang huling takbuhan ng mga biktima ng iba’t ibang krimen sa isang bansa kapag ayaw magsagawa ng imbestigasyon ang kanilang gobyerno.

Base sa talaan ng mga human rights group aabot umano sa 6,000 katao ang nasawi sa isinagawang anti-drug campaign o oplan-tokhang mula ng maupo ang pangulo noong 2016.

Kung maalala una nang inakusahan ng Pangulong Duterte ang ICC nang pakikialam sa “internal affairs” ng Pilipinas kaya wala umanong hurisdiksiyon na magsagawa ng imbestigasyon.

US, Australia at UK sanib puwersa na

Posted on: September 17th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Inanunsiyo ni US President Joe Biden ang pagbuo ng AUKUS ang bagong tripartire partnership ng US, Australia at United Kingdom.

Ito ay para labanan daw ang banta ng China sa Pacific region.

Sa ginawang virtual launching ay nagsalita sina Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison at British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Ang bagong working group ay magsasama-sama sa pagkontra sa cyber at nuclear threat hindi lamang sa China at maging sa ibang bansa.

Tutulungan ng US ang Australia na makagawa ng submarine na may kakayahan na magdala ng nuclear weapons.

Ayon kay Morrison ang nuclear submarine ay bubuuin sa Adelaide na merong “close cooperation” sa United Kingdom at US.

“Today we join our nations in the next-generation partnership, built on a strong foundation of proven trust. We have always seen the world through a similar lens. We have always believed in a world that favours freedom, that respects human dignity – the rule of law, the independence of sovereign states and the peaceful fellowship of nations,” ani Morrison.

Aminado naman si Johnson na ang gagawing proyekto ay pinakamahirap na gagamit ng advanced technology at kailangan ang dekada sa paggawa.

“It will draw on the expertise that the UK has acquired over generations, dating back to the launch of the Royal Navy’s first nuclear submarine over 60 years ago; and together, with the other opportunities from AUKUS, creating hundreds of highly skilled jobs across the United Kingdom, including in Scotland, the north of England, and the Midlands, taking forward this government’s driving purpose of leveling up across the whole country,” ani Johnson. “This will be one of the most complex and technically demanding projects in the world, lasting decades and requiring the most advanced technology.”

Binigyang diin naman ni Biden na ang pagsama-sama nila ng puwersa para sa bagong “trilateral security partnership” ay para sa 21st century ay tulad din sa kanilang alyansa noong 20th century.

“Although Australia, the UK, and U.S. partnership — AUKUS — it sounds strange with all these acronyms, but it’s a good one, AUKUS — our nations will update and enhance our shared ability to take on the threats of the 21st century just as we did in the 20th century: together,” wika naman ni Biden. “We’re taking another historic step to deepen and formalize cooperation among all three of our nations because we all recognize the imperative of ensuring peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific over the long-term.”
