Wearing black arm bands emblazoned with “44”, apl.de.ap of the international hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas and one of the judges of The Voice PH, led the performance of one the group’s hits, “Where is the Love?” in last Sunday’s episode of the singing competition.

The lyrics were sharply apt: “Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism/But we still got terrorists here livin’….

“Madness is what you demonstrate/And that’s exactly how anger works and operates/…
“Father, Father, Father help us/Send some guidance from above/’Cause people got me, got me questionin’/Where is the love (Love)…

“Makin’ wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends/Not respectin’ each other, deny thy brother/
A war is goin’ on but the reason’s undercover…

“The truth is kept secret, it’s swept under the rug/If you never know truth then you never know love/
Where’s the love, y’all, come on (I don’t know)”

Aquino sisters wanted Abad out; Hyatt 10 came to his rescue

From our always reliable source : A few days after the Supreme Court declared parts of the Disbursement Accelerated Program or DAP unconstitutional last July 1, the three presidential sisters- Ballsy Cruz, Pinky Abellada, and Kris Aquino (Viel Dee didn’t join them) talked with the President to let go of Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad.

As we all know by now, DAP– the issue that has shaken the otherwise Teflon presidency of Benigno Aquino III–was the brainchild of Abad.

The Supreme Court’s vote was unanimous (13-0) stunning Malacañang who had thought it would be 7-6 in their favor.

How not to conduct an interview, Kris Aquino style

I’d like to thank Kris Aquino for giving me very good materials for our training of journalists.

Nothing beats her interviews with the stars of The Amazing Spider-Man2 for an example of “How not to conduct an interview.”

An interview is important when doing a story because that would enable the writer to present to the readers the person he would be writing about with first hand observations. Through well thought-out questions, he would be able to draw the interviewee to talk about his views which in the first place made him worthy to be interviewed.

A celibate Kris Aquino as president will eradicate poverty in PH

I cannot imagine the Philippines without Kris Aquino. It would be boring.

I want Kris Aquino for President.

Everybody talks about the need for out-of-the box solutions to the problem of poverty that is the lot of almost a third of the country’s 99 million population. Kris Aquino has found the solution: don’t have sex and you will be blessed with money beyond your dreams.

In an interview last Tuesday with best friend Boy Abunda in her classy all-white house, Aquino couldn’t contain her joy for all the blessings coming her way: the box-office success of the movie of her son, Bimby, even if critics said it was inane (one critic said it was “contempt for the audience”); a hefty new contract with ABS-CBN after she floated the rumor that she was considering the job offer of businessman Manny V. Pangilinan to head TV5; plus many more.

Kris Aquino and the Sultan of Johor

It was insensitive of Kris Aquino to feature the Sultan of Johor at the time when the wounds of the February-March Sabah bloodfight have not healed and the root of the problem has not been addressed.

Tuesday’s feature of Kris TV was the Sultan of Johor, Ibrahim Ismail, a close friend of the Aquinos.

Kris related that her family’s closeness with the Sultan of Johor, Ibrahim Ismail, dates back to their Boston stay in the mid’80s. The Sultan was a student in the United States at that time. Internet search showed that he received military training in the US–at Fort Benning, Georgia and later at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Nakakatawa na nakakasuka

Tearfully announcing resignation kuno.[/caption]Napaaga yata ang semana santa ng mamamayang Pilipino sa mga balita na pumutok nitong nakaraang linggo na kawalang katuturan sa ating buhay ngunit laman ng media.

Ang daming problema. Sobra 60 na Pilipino ang patay sa Sabah at walang paki-alam ang Malacanang. Ngunit ang pinag-usapan sa TV, radio at sa mga diyaryo ay ang gusot ni Kris Aquino at James Yap at Chiz Escudero at Heart Evangelista.

Kung sabagay, napag-aralan na yan na kapag mahirap ang buhay, malakas ang telenobela. Siguro naghahanap ang mga tao ng dibersyun para pampagaan ng kalooban.

‘Beyond my competence’

Kris Aquino's competence

The quote for this week should be: “It’s not within my competence.”

That was what Supreme Court Clerk of Court Enriquita Vidal told the Senate-turned-impeachment court when she was still in a dilemma whether to comply with the trial court’s order to produce the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Networth of Chief Justice Renato Corona.

A variation of it, “It’s not within the competence of the witness,” was former Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas’ constant protest when prosecution lawyers would ask records custodians-witnesses to comment on the veracity of the contents of the documents that they were merely told to bring to the impeachment court.

Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda also said, “It is not within my competence.”

Ang telenobelang Kris at James

In happier times?
Magandang ehemplo ang ginawa ng traffic aide ng Metro Manila Development Authority na nanghuli sa driver ni Kris Aquino na nag-park sa “No parking” na lugar sa tapat ng ABS-CBN sa Quezon city.

Hindi siyang nag-atubili na ipatupad ang batas at tinikitan ang driver ni Kris. Tumawag ang driver kay Kris at sinabi naman ni Kris na dapat ng tiketan ang kanyang driver.

Ang pangyayaring ito ay tugma sa patakaran na pinaiiral ni Pangulong Aquino na walang hindi saklaw ng batas. Lahat pantay-pantay sa batas.

Katulad ng ginawa niya sa wang-wang. Hindi hinahawi ang traffic para lang mapabilis siya sa pupuntahan niya.

Di ba nakakabilib?

Kaya lang dahil nga medyo maiinit na ang mga mata ng tao kay Kris, merong ibang nagsasabi na pa-epek lang niya yun.

Hindi naman siguro ganun si Kris. Over na nga siya sa publicity lalo pa na umaandar na ang annulment ng kanyang kasal.

Sigurado as susunod na mga araw, laman ng peryodiko ang tungko as annulment ng kasal ni Kris dahil nakakuha na ng abogado si James Yap.

Heto na naman si Kris Aquino

Tatlong linggong nakapahinga ang bayan kay Kris Aquino at heto na naman siya.

Pagdating niya galing sa Amerika, nagsalita siya sa naka-abang na media at siyempre nagbigay ng exclusive interview sa kanyang BFF na si Boy Abunda. Nagpaliwanag siya sa mga tsismis tungkol sa kanya.

Hindi raw totoong may affair siya sa mga batang artista na sina Gerald Anderson at Coco Martin.

Hindi rin daw totoo ang kay Sen. Chiz Escudero. Ito ang kuwento ni Kris:

Walang katotohanan ang Chiz-Kris tsismis

“Absolutely not true,” sabi ng scriptwriter at director na si Bibeth Orteza ng aking tinanong sa text kung totoo ang tsismis na may romantic affair si Sen. Chiz Escudero at si Kris Aquino, ang artista at TV host na kapatid ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino.

Sabi ni Bibeth, “Hindi ko nga maintindihan kung bakit kumalat yan.”

First time kung narinig ang tsismis sa isang pagtitipon ng mga columnist Sabado ng umaga. Hindi ko pinansin dahil hindi kapani-paniwala. Noong gabi, may interview ako at ang lumabas na naman ang tsismis. Kaya tinawagan ko na si Bibeth.
