Katuwang na sa paghahanap ng pondo: VILMA, mas na-appreciate ang nagawang movies na ni-restore

Posted on: April 17th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

KAHIT na masama ang pakiramdam ay hindi binigo ni Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos-Recto ang mga estudyante ng Senior High School ng UST.

Punum-puno ang auditorium ng Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati ng mga Senior High students ng UST na maaga pa lang ay nagtiyagang pumila para manood ng film showing and talk back ng pelikulang “Anak”.

Tuwang-tuwa si Ate Vi dahil kahit hindi na inabot ng mga estudyante nang ipalabas ang movie 24 years ago ay na-appreciate nila ang nasabing pelikula.

“Nakikita n’yo yung enthusiasm nila at excited sila to ask and learn kung ano ang mga ginagawa namin.

“I mean gusto nilang marinig ang mga experiences namin doing the movie,” bungad pa ni Ate Vi nang makausap namin after the showing and talk back ng pelikula.

Kaya nga ganado si Ate Vi to reach out the Gen Z or the millennials na ipaliwanag sa mga ito ang pagkakaiba ng mga gingagawa nila noon.

“İsa rin sa advocacy ko to restore sa mga dating movies, problema nga lang wala nga lang tayong enough funds, “ dagdag pa ni Ate Vi.

Ayon pa sa aktres na maraming mga lumang pelikula na pwedeng I restore kagaya ng “Tagos ng Dugo” at iba pa.

“Sa totoo lang, nang mapanood ko ngayon yung mga dati kong pelikula na ni-restore, eh, parang ngayon ko lang na-appreciate ang mga nagawa ko, “ matatawang pang banggit ng premyadong aktres.

Sa ngayon daw ay isa si Ate Vi sa katuwang sa paghahanap ng pondo para sa restoration ng mga critically acclaimed movies.

***

PARA kay Ate Vi ay na-challenge pa rin siya na gumawa ng pelikula after “I Met You In Tokyo” na hindi lang naging box-office hit ay dalawang best actress award din ang nasungkit niya.

Sa ngayon ay sunod-sunod ang offers kay Ate Vi to do another movie.

May mga ibinigay sa kanyang scripts.

“Meron akong mga script na all of them naman is good. Pero parang hindi pa ako ready to accept,” sey pa ni Ate Vi.

At this moment, ano pang klase ng pelikula ang nasa isip niya na maaari niyang gawin?

“Well, naghahanap ako ng tipong parang “

‘Bata, Bata, Paano ka Ginawa’.

“Although, isa siyang award-winning novel pero andun yung kakaibang at May juror,” dagdag pa ng premyadong aktres.

Sa isang banda, ano ang masasabi ni Ate Vi sa clamor ng halos lahat na maging next National Artist?

“Well, sobrang nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa mga ginagawa nila, sa mga Vilmanians at sa iba, doon palang panalo na ako.

“Pero sinasabi ko na naniniwala naman talaga na if it’s not meant to be, hindi talaga.

“Kasi kahit anong gawin mo, kung para sa ‘yo yun, para sayo yun, kung hindi eh, di hindi.

“Kaya ipagpaDiyos na lang natin, “ Paliwanag pa rin ng nag iisang Vilma Santos-Recto.

Venue ng opening ceremony ng Paris Olympics pinag-aaralang ilipat

Posted on: April 17th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Pinag-aaralan ngayon ni French President Emmanuel Macron ang paglilipat ng lugar ng opening ceremony ng Paris Olympcs.

Sinabi nito na mula sa River Seine ay maaring gawin na lamang ito sa Stade de France o Stadium gaya ng ordinaryong ceremony.

Inoobserbahan pa kasi ng mga otoridad ang lugar kung magkakaroon ng problema sa seguridad ay tiyak na sa loob ng stadium na nila ito gagawin.

Inaasahan kasi na mahigit 10,000 na atleta ang maglalayag sa anim na kilometrong katubigan ng Seine river lulan ng 160 barges.

Sa unang plano ay pinayagan ng organizers ang nasa 600,000 na mga katao ang manonood ng ceremony sa gilid ng ilog hanggang ito ay binawasan at ginawang 300,000 katao lamang.

Hindi na bibigyan ang mga turista ng free access na makapanood ng ceremony at sa halip ay magiging by-invitations na lamang ang tickets.

Itinaas ng mga otoridad ang security alerts matapos ang banta ng Islamic State group sa Champion League quarter-finals football matches sa Paris, Madrid at London.

Pagtitiyak naman ni Macron na mayroon mga nakalatag silang Plan B at C sakaling lumala ang security threats.

Posted on: April 17th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

WALANG nakikitang dahilan ang Philippine National Police na bawiin ang suporta at katapatan ng buong hanay ng Pambansang Pulisya sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Ito ang binigyang-diin ni PNP Public Information Office chief PCol. Jean Fajardo kasunod pa rin ng naging panawagan ni Davao del Norte rep. Pantaleon Alvarez sa AFP at PNP na talikuran na ang Marcos Jr. administration sa kasagsagan ng inilunsad na rally ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa Tagum City noong Abril 14, 2024.

Ayon kay PCol. Fajardo, walang basehan ang naturang mga panawagan Para alisan ng suporta ng kapulisan ang mga opisyal ng pamahalaan na iniluklok ng konstitusyon, at ito aniya ay kanilang iginagalang.

Kaugnay nito ay muling nilinaw ng naturang opisyal na ang katapatan ng PNP ay nasa taumbayan kasabay ng panawagang huwag nang idamay pa ang uniformed personnel sa ganitong uri ng mga isyu ng may kaugnayan sa usaping politikal.

Posted on: April 17th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

KAPWA nangako ang gobyerno at pribadong sektor ng Estados Unidos at Japan na maglalaan ng milyong dollar para pondohan ang mga proyekto sa Pilipinas sa imprastraktura at teknolohiya.

Inanunsyo ng senior administration official ng White House na ang PGI Luzon corridor, magkokonekta sa Subic Bay, Clark, Manila, at Batangas ay naglalayong palakasin ang coordinated investments sa “high-impact” infrastructure projects.

Kabilang na rito ang “ports, rail, clean energy, semiconductors, supply chains,” at maging ang iba pang uri ng connectivity o pagkakakonekta sa Pilipinas.

“We will be holding events and setting up a steering committee to accelerate the work on this Luzon corridor, and the Development Finance Corporation will open its first regional office in the Philippines as part of this announcement,” ayon pa rin sa senior administration official.

Sinabi pa rin nito na ang mga gobyerno at industriya ng Estados Unidos at Japan ay maglalaan naman ng bilyong dollar para pondohan ang open radio access network (O-RAN) technology field trials sa Maynila.

Susuportahan din nito ang Asia O-RAN Academy sa Maynila, na naglalayong tiyakin na maisusulong ang “future commercial deployment.”

“We’re working closely with the government of the Philippines to ensure that we can partner as a trilateral grouping to deliver secure, trusted ICT technology in the Philippines,” ayon pa rin sa naturang opisyal. (Daris Jose)

Welga ng PUJs bigo

Posted on: April 17th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NABIGO ang mga welgista ng grupo sa transportasyon na miyembro ng public utility jeepneys (PUJs) dahil sa ginawang matinding paghahanda ng Metro Manila mayors sa nakaraang 2 araw ng welga noong Lunes at Martes.

Nag-welga at nag-protesta ang mga drivers at operators ng PUJs dahil sa kanilang masidhing pagtutol sa pagpapatupad ng public utility vehicle modernization program (PUVMP) ng pamahalaan.

Ang Metro Manila Council (MMC) ay naglatag ng contingency plans tulad ng pagbibigay sa mga pasahero ng transportasyon na naapektuhan ng welga noong Lunes at Martes. Nagkaron rin ng libreng sakay ang mga lokal na pamahalaan kasama na ang Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

Sinabi ni MMC president at San Juan mayor Francis Zamora na bawat lokal na pamahalaan ay naghanda ng mga sasakyan para sa mga pasahero na stranded sa daan at lansangan.

“We have been ready, but most of the time, we do not need to use our vehicles. There were some cases that the strike had affected transportation, so we let them used the vehicles,” wika ni Zamora.

Nakipagugnayan rin si Zamora sa hanay ng National Capital Region Police Officer upang magkaron ng karagdagan tauhan nang masiguro ang kaligtasan ng mga drivers na hindi sasama sa transport strike. Ayon sa kanya, noong mga nakaraang welga ay mga kaso na ang mga drivers na hindi lumahok ay ginigipit ng mga nagwewelga.

Samantala, pinasungalinan ng Piston at Manibela na ang ginawang welga ay bigo dahil ayon sa kanila ay lumahok din ang ibang motorcycle taxis. Ayon sa kanya ay lumahok din sa welga ang mga drivers sa Bicol, Iloilo, Cebu, Davao, General Santos, Bacolod at Baguio.

Parehas na pinipilit ng Piston at Manibela ang pamahalaan na ibasura ang PUVMP kung saan ang mga drivers at operators ay kinakailangan mag consolidate ng prangkisa bilang isang kooperatiba or korporasyon.

May 7 malalaking grupo sa transportasyon ang hindi naman lumahok sa nasabing welga at protesta ng 2 araw.

Samantala, noong nakaraang weekend naman ay nanawagan si Senator Imee Marcos sa pamahalaan na magkaron ng konkretong solusyon sa problema kung bakit hindi pa matuloy-tuloy ang programa.

Ayon sa kanya siya ay nangangamba kung saan kukunin ng bawat operator o driver ang P2.4 milyon upang makabili ng isang unit ng modern jeepney.

Hinikayat rin niya ang pamahalaan na magkaron ng masinsinang kunsultasyon sa mga may-ari ng PUVs, drivers, motorcycle taxi operators at pasahero kasama na rin ang mga estudyante na maapektuhan ng programa. LASACMAR

PBBM, pinangunahan ang pag-inspeksyon sa P13.3-B halaga ng shabu na nasamsam sa Batangas

Posted on: April 17th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

PINANGUNAHAN ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang pag-inspeksyon sa mahigit na dalawang tonelada ng shabu na nagkakahalaga ng P13.3 billion sa Batangas.

Ang nakumpiskang illegal na droga ay itinuturing na “biggest drug haul in Philippine history.”

Sa isang panayam, matapos ang pag-inspeksyon, sinabi ng Pangulo na nagawa ng mga arresting agents na mahuli ang isa sa mga suspek na hindi gumamit ng anumang karahasan.

Nagawa ng mga pulis na dakpin ang suspek na nagmamaneho ng van sa isang road checkpoint sa Alitagtag, Batangas, araw ng Lunes.

“This is the biggest shipment of shabu na nahuli natin. But not one person died. Walang namatay, walang nagputukan, walang nasaktan. Basta’t in-operate natin na dahan-dahan,” ang sinabi ni Pangulong Marcos.

“‘Yun naman dapat ang approach. Para sa akin, ‘yun naman dapat ang approach para sa drug war na ang pinaka-importante is matigil natin ang pag-ship ng mga drugs dito sa pag-pasok dito sa Pilipinas,” dagdag na wika nito.

Sa ngayon, sinusubaybayan ng mga awtoridad ang ‘source’ ng ilegal na droga, itinuturo na hindi ito ‘locally manufactured.’

Sa kabilang dako, inirekumenda naman ng Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) ang “spot promotion” ni Alitagtag Municipal Police Station Chief P/Captain Luis de Luna Jr. na ‘one rank higher’ kasunod ng matagumpay na illegal drug operation.

Para kay De Luna, nagsasagawa sila ng regular checkpoint sa Barangay Pinagkrusan nang i-flagged down nila ang kahina-hinalang passenger van, nagresulta ng pagkakasamsam sa illegal na droga.

“Mayroon po kaming regular checkpoint na isinasagawa dito sa Bayan ng Alitagtag, as part of the intensified crime prevention. So, part of it, pina-flag down po namin ang mga sasakyan,” ang sinabi ni De Luna sa mga mamamahayag.

“Kung mayroong suspicious, sina-subject po namin for inspection po. Kagaya po ng nangyari dito sa pangyayaring ito, ‘yun po ang naging resulta, nasabat po namin ang ganitong kalaking halaga po ng shabu po,” dagdag na pahayag nito.

Nauna rito, inaresto ng mga awtoridad ang isang driver ng van matapos mahulihan ng bultong-bultong shabu na tinatayang nasa P13.3 bilyon sa isang checkpoint operation sa Alitagtag, Batangas.

Sa ulat na ipinadala ni Batangas Police Provincial Director Police Colonel Samson Belmonte kay PRO Calabarzon Regional Director P/BGen. Paul Keneth Tuhay Lucas, nabatid na habang ang operating teams ng Alitagtag MPS ay nagsasagawa ng anti-criminality checkpoint operation sa Barangay Pinagkrusan, ay dumaan ang isang kulay silver na Foton passenger van na may plakang CBM5060.

Nang usisain ng mga ang kinakailangan na dokumento, napansin ng mga awtoridad na balisa at hindi mapakali ang driver ng nasabing van.

Dahil dito, agad na inusisa at tiningnan ng mga pulis ang laman ng likod ng sasakyan at boluntaryong tinanggal ng driver na suspek ang kulay asul na toldang nakatakip sa mga nakalagay sa sasakyan.

Laking gulat ng mga awtoridad nang bumulaga sa kanila ang bulto-bultong hinihinalang shabu na nag-resulta sa pag-aresto sa suspek.

Kinilala ni P/BGen Lucas, ang arestadong suspek na si Alajon Michael Zarate, 47, residente ng Project 4, Masagana, Quezon City.

Pinapurihan naman nina DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos at PNP Chief Rommel Francisco Marbil ang mga tauhan ng Alitagtag Municipal Police Station sa pangunguna ni Officer in Charge (OIC) Police Captain Luis Q. De Luna dahil sa malaking accomplishment ng PNP sa kampanya laban sa iligal na droga. (Daris Jose)
