Napi-pressure sa pagiging first endorser ng ‘Hey Pretty Skin’: BEAUTY, hihirit pa nang another five years bago mag-retire

Posted on: April 15th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

ANG versatile actress na si Beauty Gonzalez ang newest face and first ever celebrity endorser ng Hey Pretty Skin.

Ang grand welcome at pagpapakilala sa kanya ay ginanap sa Crowne Plaza Hotel. Pinangunahan ito ng CEO ng Hey Pretty Skin na si Anne Barretto.

Ayon sa magandang businesswoman, “we would like to welcome Ms. Beauty Gonzalez to the Hey Pretty Skin family. Very excited kaming lahat na makatrabaho siya at napakasaya namin na pinaunlakan niya po ang imbitasyon namin na maging kauna-unahang celebrity endorser.”

Malaki naman ang pasasalamat ng Kapuso actress sa tiwalang binigay sa kanya.

“I am very thankful for the trust they have given me. Isang taon pa lang ang Hey Pretty Skin sa market and for them to pick me as their first celebrity endorser is really a big deal.”

Pag-amin pa ni Beauty, “medyo may pressure, I admit, but I trust Ms. Anne, her vision, and most importantly, I believe in her products and how it can really help people achieve better glowing skin and feel good inside.”

Si Beauty nga ang first choice ni Anne na maging endorser, dahil healthy and glowing ang aktres, inside and out.

Kuwento pa ni Anne, “Iba kasi ang confidence na naibibigay na glowing at alaga ang inyong skin. We believe, Beauty is an embodiment of that.

“She has flawless skin, she is beautiful, and she lives her best life.”

Ini-endorse ng newest leading lady ni Sen. Bong Revilla para sa upcoming sitcom ng GMA Network, ang iba’t-ibang produkto tulad ng top selling na Neoglow Se at Kojieko soap, Prestige Glow Set, Tinted Sunscreen, Happy Lift Serum, Facial Foam Cleanser, at Angel White Body Scrub.

Samantala, natanong si Beauty kung itutuloy pa ba niya ang pagre-retire sa showbiz after five years.

Tawang-tawa ang aktres tungkol sa nauna niyang nasabi sa isang presscon sa early retirement niya.

Pag-amin niya, “well, I was wrong at that time, people make mistakes.

Tawang-tawa rin daw ang asawa niyang si Norman Crisologo, “sinabihan ako ng asawa ko, nakakatawa ka, five years ha. Now, you have a sitcom coming, may ganito ka coming. You maybe leave abroad for a movie.

“So, are you sure? Kaya sabi ko, another five years. Sabi niya, ‘baby, alam mo pag may tawad, may kapalit ‘yun’. Pag humihingi ako, may kapalit ‘yun, pero secret na lang kung ano ‘yun.”

Pinangangatawan naman ni Beauty na okay na siya sa isang anak. Gusto raw niyang mag-travel at mag-enjoy, kasama ang nag-iisang anak.

“Okay na ‘yun isa, he has a lot of kids, okay na kaming dalawa.

“I want to travel also. Experience my life, and relax, and at this time, I want to fill up my cup.”

Nabibili ang Hey Pretty Skin products sa heyprettyskin.com, Shoppee, Lazada, at sa Rising Era Dynasty branches located at Metro Manila, General Santos City, Ozamis City, at Hong Kong, sa pangunguna ng president at CEO na si Red Era.

Para naman sa mga interested maging resellers, mag-send lang ng private message sa kanilang Facebook page na Hey Pretty Skin Official.

Kahit may Master’s Degree na in Management: RONNIE, tuluy-tuloy lang ang pag-aaral para makakuha ng PhD

Posted on: April 15th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

PINAKITA ni Beauty Gonzalez ang mga alahas na ipapamana niya sa kanyang anak na si Olivia balang-araw.

Isa nga rito ay ang Pangaw beads na galing pa sa Mountain Province.

Ayon sa Museo Kordilyera’s website, ang Pangaw beads ay gawa sa “glass beads encased in gold. Numerous beads strung together and worn by both Ifugao men and women as a necklace that serves as a symbol of the kadangyan class.”

Kinuwento naman ng ‘Stolen Life’ star na hilig niya talaga ang bumili ng rare jewelries na alam niya na may halaga sa paglipas ng panahon.

“So happy with today’s acquisition, finally got my hands on a second set of these Pang Aw Beads directly from the Mountain Province, they are gold foil encased in glass beads probably centuries old.

“They don’t look like much at first sight, kinda rugged and kinda dull for those used to bling but believe it or not these are most coveted by antique collectors and tribal adornment aficionados. Highly prized for their rarity and cultural significance.

“I love them for the thrill of the hunt, the search, the negotiations, then finally the responsibility of taking care of them for generations to follow. I hope one day Olivia can value these as much as I do so she can pass them on to her grandchildren. A family tradition has begun.”

TULUY-TULOY lang ang pag-aaral ng singer-actor na si Ronnie Liang.

Kahit na meron na itong master’s degree in management, kumukuha ito ngayon ng PhD in Development Administration majoring in Security Development sa Philippine Christian University.

Nasa plano raw ni Ronnie na kunin ang mga kursong ito noon pa. Nagkaroon lang daw ng delay dahil sa pagsabak niya sa showbiz.

“Noong nasa college pa lang ako, plan ko na talaga mag-master’s degree then mag-PhD. Naging busy lang noon kaya na-delay. Now I have all the time and means to study now, kaya talagang tatapusin ko itong PhD,” sey ni Ronnie.

Naisip nga ni Ronnie na hindi siya forever na artista. Kaya investment daw ang mga kursong ito kung sakaling magpalit na siya ng propesyon.

“This is not just another degree but also an investment in my future because I know I will not be a singer and actor forever. So now I am preparing for a career beyond my current profession.

“As someone who deeply values personal growth and lifelong learning, I know that this will require hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. But it will also transform me in many ways that I cannot even imagine.”

PBBM: ASEAN, dapat tugunan ang brain drain sa healthcare sector

Posted on: April 15th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

DAPAT na mag-adjust ng Southeast Asian countries at maghanap ng paraan para tugunan ang human capital flight, partikular na ang healthcare sector para sa kapakanan ng rehiyon.

Ang usapin ng brain drain sa health sector ng rehiyon partikular na sa pangingibang-bayan ng mga nars at doktor ay tinalakay sa pakikipagpulong ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa Temasek Foundation executives sa Palasyo ng Malakanyang.

“We are very proud of (our nurses and doctors) and the role they play during the height of the pandemic but as I said, we are a victim of our own success,” ang sinabi ni Pangulong Marcos sa mga opsiyal ng Temasek sa pangunguna ng chairman nito na si Jennie Chua Kheng Yeng.

“But you know, we have to adjust and find other ways. We have to give them at least equal opportunities at home. It is very clear that most Filipino overseas workers are willing to take less in terms of pay so long as they can stay here,” ang wika ng Pangulo sabay sabing “If Singapore can find a solution to that problem, it would immensely help the Southeast Asian region’s healthcare sector.”

Sinabi naman ni Chua na sang-ayon ang Singapore nursing association sa register nurses sa Singapore na pigilin ang human capital flight sa sektor matapos mawala sa kanilang bansa ang 400 nurses tungo sa New Zealand, na nag-alok ng permanent residency (PR).

Sa ilalim ng New Zealand’s PR, maaaring dalhin at isama ng mga nurse ang kanilang pamilya, payagan ang kanilang mga anak na makapag-aral sa local schools, at mag-aplay para sa pabahay.

Sinabi naman ni Temasek Foundation International chair na ayaw ng Singapore na bigyan ang mga Filipino nurses ng citizenship hindi aniya katulad ng alok ng USA, Canada at New Zealand upang “they can go back and forth during their working years.”

Pinuri naman ni Chua ang Pilipinas sa pagpo-produce ng “good nurses and doctors”.

Sinabi nito na karamihan na doktor na nasa Singapore’s emergency room ay mga Filipino.

Pinuri rin nito ang kanilang pagsasanay na base sa “life experience.”

Sa ulat, ang Temasek Foundation, ay “Singapore-based non-profit philanthropic organization, is an arm of Singapore’s state sovereign fund Temasek Holdings.”

“The foundation funds and supports programs aimed at building community capabilities in Asia and beyond through philanthropic endowments. The foundation forged agreements with the Philippines to enhance competencies across industries, through the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) (Digitalization and Industry 4.0) Program, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with Design Thinking Programme, and Health Care Management Program,” ayon pa rin sa ulat.

Nilagdaan ng mga Metro Manila mayors kasama ang mga opisyales ng Land Transportation Office ang memorandum of agreement para sa pagpapatupad ng single ticketing scheme sa kalakhang Manila.

“After Labor Day, we will roll out the unified ticketing system in Metro Manila,” wika ni San Juan City Francis Zamora na siya rin president ng MMC.

Ang MMC ay binubuo ng mga mayors sa metropolis na siyang policy-making body ng Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

Nilagdaan ng mga mayors ang Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023 na naglalaman ng 20 common traffic violations at ang corresponding multa ng bawat violations. Ang mga nasabing common traffic violations ay ang mga sumusunod: illegal parking, overloading, defective motor vehicle accessories, dress code, obstruction at disregarding traffic signs, number coding kasama rin ang truck at tricycle bans.

Depende naman sa kung ilan beses ginawa ang offenses, ang mga mahuhuli ay magmumulta ng P1,000 sa una, P2,000 sa ikalawa, at P2,000 na may kasamang seminar sa mga susunod na offenses para sa reckless driving.

Para naman sa dress code, P500, P750 at P1,000. Papatawan ng P2,000 at P5,000 para sa illegal counterflow; P1,000, P2,000 at P5,000 sa hindi paggamit ng child restraint system (CRS). Bibigyan naman ng multang P1,000, P3,000 at P5,000 para sa substandard na CRS; P1,500, P3,000 at P5,000 at P10,000 kung hindi gumagamit ng motorcycle helmet.

Papatawan rin ng P3,000, P5,000 at P10,000 kung hindi sumunod sa Children’s Safety on Motorcycles Act.

Ayon sa MMDA, ang mga law offenders ay dapat magbayad ng multa sa loob ng 10 araw pagkatapos ng pagkahuli. Aalisin ang record ng violation kapag nagbayad na ang motorista ng multa.

Ayon sa MMDa, ang mga driver’s license ay hindi na kukunin subalit magkakaron ito ng tagged sa LTO’s Land Transportation Management System.

Kakulangan ng valid ID at digital literacy, dahilan ng mabagal na SIM registration sa bansa

Posted on: April 15th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

KAKULANGAN sa government valid IDs at digital literacy ng mga SIM card subscribers ang itinuturong dahilan ngayon kung bakit nagiging mabagal ang pag-usad ng SIM registration sa bansa.

Sa ngayon kasi ay aabot pa lamang sa 66 million o 39 percent ng kabuuang bilang na 168 million ng mga SIM card users sa buong bansa ang nakakapagparehistro pa lamang ng kanilang mga SIM card noong Abril 11, 2023.

Ayon sa ilang eksperto, dahil dito ay kinakailangan ng hand-holing partikular na sa mga customers na nasa mga probinsya dahil nandoon aniya ang mga lugar na may mababang bilang ng registration.

Kaugnay nito ay sinabi naman ng Department of Information and Communications Technology na pinag-aaralan na nito kasama ang National Telecommunications Commission ang posibilidad ng pagpapalawig pa sa deadline ng SIM registration act.

Teves dadalo sa Senate probe ng Degamo slay

Posted on: April 15th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

DADALO “virtually” si suspended Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie Teves Jr. sa imbestigasyon ng Senado kaugnay sa pagpaslang kay Governor Roel Degamo, ayon kay Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.

Si Teves ang itinuturo ng Department of Justice (DOJ) na utak at financier sa pagpatay kay Gov. Degamo batay sa mga inisyal nilang nakalap na impormasyon at testimonya ng mga nadakip na suspek sa krimen.

Ayon kay Dela Rosa, nagpaabot ng commitment at kinumpirma ni Teves sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Secretary na haharap siya sa pagdinig ng komite ‘virtually’.

Sinabi ni Dela Rosa na napakahalagang makuha ng kanyang komite ang panig ni Teves.

Wala rin umanong problema sa kanya ang pakay ni Teves sa desisyon nitong dumalo sa pagdinig ng Senado at linisin ang kanyang pangalan.

Maaaring ihayag ni Teves ang anumang gusto nitong sabihin at siya bilang chairman ng komite ay naroroon naman para kontrolin ang magiging takbo ng pagdinig.

Tiniyak din ni Dela Rosa na hindi niya hahayaang magamit ni Teves sa ‘grandstanding’ ang committee hearing.

Giit pa ng Senador na hindi niya batid kung anong motibo ni Teves na mas pinili nitong makipag-cooperate sa Senado sa halip na sundin ang panawagan ni Speaker Martin Romualdez na umuwi na ng bansa.

Nilinaw naman niya na kung biglang hindi na dadalo sa pagdinig ?sa Abril 17 si Teves ay hindi naman ito maaaring mai-cite for contempt dahil may ‘interparliamentary courtesy’ na dapat sundin at kilalanin ng Kongreso. (Daris Jose)

Nakapagbigay naman na raw ng 7,000 FFPs sa PLGU-Camarines Sur bilang resources augmentation.

“Furthermore, the Field Office is continuously monitoring the status and updates from the six (6) provinces on the affected or displaced families and needs assessment,” ayon sa DSWD Region V.

“The agency is also coordinating with the LGUs for the provision of resource augmentation.”

Kahapon lang nang tuluyag humina at maging low pressure area na lamang ang dating bagyo.
