Lord, sana po ay magising na ang immediate bosses at huwag pairalin ang seniority system sa pagpili ng itatalaga sa

isang pwesto. Nawa’y gisingin N’yo sila sa mga subordinate offices nila na ang mga OIC ay walang alam, walang kaayusan at hindi talaga marunong. Gisingin N’yo po sana ang mga boss. Dinggin N’yo po ang aming panalangin. Amen (Malou Santos)

Tinutukoy ng GIR, ang halaga ng salaping banyagang pinangangasiwaan ng bangko sentral, kung gaano karaming inangkat na produkto at serbisyo ang kaya ng bansa at gaano kalaking utang na nasa salaping dayuhan ang kayang mabayaran. Tumaas ang reserba dahil sa pagpasok ng salaping banyaga, katulad ng pinadadala ng mga manggagawa sa ibayong-dagat, kita sa export, at imbak na ginto. Sinabi ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas kahapon na sapat ang GIR upang magbayad ng 8.1 buwang halaga ng inangkat na bilihin at serbisyo. “The continued buildup in the GIR level was due mainly to revaluation gains on the BSP’s gold holdings on account of the sustained rise in the price of gold in the international market, foreign currency deposit by the national government of its loan proceeds, as well as income from the BSP’s investments abroad,” ani BSP Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. Tinuturing ng BSP na komportable ang naturang antas ng GIR ng bansa.

Pulis nakipagbarilan sa mga loyalista ng mga Ampatuan

SHARIFF Aguak, Maguindanao— Isang patrol car ng pulisya ang pinaputukan ng mga taga-suporta ng angkan ng Ampatuan Linggo ng gabi sa Maguindanao. Ito ang unang engkwentro mula nang ipatupad ang batas militar sa lalawigan. Isa ang nasaktan sa 1 0 - m i n u t o n g s a g upaan sa Barangay

Meta, ani Senior Supt. Sonny David, chair ng Joint Security Coordinating Center dito. Ani David, alas-8 ng gabi nang naganap ang pag-atake sa mga ahente ng Special Action Force, na naghahanap ng mga armas na binaon umano ng mga taga-suporta ng mga Ampatuan. “The gun battle lasted for a few min-

utes before the armed men withdrew to the mountains when police commandos brought in their two V150 armored carriers,” aniya sa INQUIRER. Sinabi ng militar na may ilang kalalakihan ding nagpaputok sa pulis at militar na naghuhukay ng armas sa kalapit na bayan ng Mamasapano. M Ramos, E Fernandez

Cool na ulit trench coat sa mga ukay ng Baguio Pahinga muna ang binukbok na balangay BUMALIK sa Maynila noong Linggo ang 12 kawani ng “Diwata ng Lahi,” ang kopya ng balangay na ginamit bago ang pananakop ng mga Kastila, upang m a g b a k a s y o n n g ayong Kapaskuhan habang kinukumpuni ang bangka sa pantalan ng Butuan City. Tinanggap ang pangkat, na pinamumunuan ni Art Valdez, ng mga kamag-anak sa pagdating nila sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport 2:30 ng hapon noong Linggo. Sinabi ni Valdez sa INQUIRER na kailangang kumpunihin ang Diwata makaraang kainin ng “marine borers” ang ilang bahagi ng bangka, na yari sa katutubong “apitong.” “Several planks have to be replaced. The wood we used was not chemically treated because that’s the way the ancient balangays were made,” ani Valdez. Maaari umanong mga pesteng mula sa maruming Manila Bay ang kumain sa kahoy, aniya, bitbit pa ang ilang pirasong kahoy na mukhang inanay. JA

KAHIT BUONG SENADO KUMONTRA

Martial Law malamang ipapasa ng Kongreso Nina Christine O. Avendaño, Gil Cabacungan Jr., at Leila B. Salaverria

TANGGAP ng mga Senador na matatalo sila sa botohan sa pinagsamang sesyon ng Kongreso kahit karamihan sa kanila tutol sa pagpataw ni Pangulong Macapagal Arroyo ng batas militar sa Maguindanao.

Nagkasundo ang Senado at Kapulungan ng mga Kinatawan na magdaos ng isang pinagsanib na sesyon ngayong araw upang talakayin ang Proclamation No. 1959 na inisyu ni Ms Arroyo noong Dis. 4 upang sugpuin ang pinaniniwalaan niyang rebelyong pinamumunuan ng makapangyarihang angkan ng Ampatuan.

Pinaratangan ang mga Ampatuan ng pag-uutos sa masaker ng 57 katao, kabilang ang 30 mamamahayag, noong Nob. 23. May 268 kasapi ang Kapulungan habang may 23 ang Senado, ngunit hindi makaboboto si Sen. Antonio Trillanes III na nakapiit dahil sa paglilitis para sa coup d’etat.

May 18 senador ang nais ipabawi ang paghahayag ng batas militar. Sa simpleng mayoryang 146 boto, mababasura o masusuportahan ng Kongreso ang proklamasyon ng batas militar. Nakasaad sa Saligang Batas ang kapangyarihan ng Pangulo na maghayag ng batas militar sa loob ng 60 araw para sa mga kaso ng pananakop o rebelyon. Kung hindi mababawi, may kapangyarihan ang Kongreso na palawigin ito ng 60 araw pa, ani Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago.

Aga reveals dream project By Marinel R. Cruz

AWARD-WINNING actor Aga Muhlach said he wished to share his blessings in the past year, as usual, with underprivileged children. At the launch of Jollibee’s MaAga ang Pasko Jolly Toy Scout Training Camp at the SMX in Pasay City last month, Aga announced that he is taking part in Jollibee Foundation’s construction and renovation of classrooms in select Metro Manila and Northern Luzon areas severely damaged by the recent typhoons. “This has long been a dream project,” he noted. “I’m happy that a lot of people have offered

to help. The idea is, for every classroom I help build, tatapatan ng Jollibee ng isa. It’s time we stopped blaming others for what this country lacks, and just do what we can to help.” Aga added: “I started my own giftgiving program 16 years ago, with just my driver. We went to an orphanage and handed out toys I had collected to about 40 kids. It has gotten so big since, that millions of children get

AGA toys and books at Christmas time.” He cited the fastfood chain for making this possible. Last year, he said, Jollibee, with the Department of Social Welfare and Development, collected over 187,000 donated toys and books within Metro Manila alone.

He added that more than 15,000 Toy Scouts have signed up and that, even adults are able to participate actively by giving, and gathering donations. Aga is currently working on the romantic feature Of All the Things with Regine Velasquez. The movie, directed by Joyce Bernal is Viva Films’ first offering for 2010. “We’re halfway done. I hope we can open on Valentine’s Day,” the actor said. Aga said he is scheduled to make another Star Cinema feature, with Angel Locsin, to be directed by Olivia Lamasan.

ABA opens 10 slots for Pinoys By Dennis U. Eroa LAS VEGAS—Not one but a maximum of 10 Filipino cagers may be able to see action in the American Basketball Association (ABA) next season. Investment banker Paul Monozca yesterday said that one of the four major concessions he was able to get as the ABA vice chairman for its global expansion is that 10 ABA teams must select one Filipino

dribbler each in the 2011 annual draft slated February. ‘’The globalization of Filipinos does not stop with the great Manny Pacquiao. It will continue and the entry of our cagers to the United States basketball scene is the second stage,” said Monozca, also the first non-American to sit in the ABA board of directors and chair of the Singaporebased Parmon Group and the AB Monozca

Foundation. Monozca explained that the drafting of the Filipino cagers is within the players exchange program and is open to professional and amateur basketball players. He pointed out that among those who expressed interest in the players-exchange program is multi-titled De La Salle University which will be represented by Green Archers mentor Dindo Pumaren in the annu-

al ABA Summit December 8 at the Las Vegas Country Club here. ‘’But it’s not only La Salle, the doors are open to talented and winning teams like Ateneo and the NCAA powerhouses.” Aside from the players exchange program, Manozca said the Philippines will also be represented in the star-studded ABA China Games slated March to July in the cities of Beijing and Chengdu.

Jake Cuenca loses endorsement opportunity J

AKE Cuenca lost a huge amount of money without his even knowing it.

At ABS-CBN’s party during the ad congress, a gay bigwig of an ad agency approached Jake for a photo op. He wanted to size up Jake because he’s eyeing him to be an endorser for a bank. But Jake was so unfriendly that the honcho decided to scrap the actor from his planned campaign and look for someone else. My source from the ad world says, “Sinayang ni Jake ang big opportunity. Si Piolo and Diether have ads for banks. Yun kasi ang trend. Next in line na dapat si Jake. Siya ang first choice ng agency kaso naginarte. Kala niya siguro kung sino lang yung nagpa-picture sa kanya kasi hindi nakaporma. Yun pala big time na executive yun sa agency. Pero kahit fan o sino pa magpa-picture, dapat di sungitan ni Jake. It’s part of his job as an actor to pose for pics and sign autographs.” Too bad for Jake. He lost an ad endorsement because of his behavior. If a picture paints a thousand words, it can also paint a million bucks! Celebs

must not oppose when they’re asked to strike a pose.

Mark’s third

After releasing two double platinum albums, Mark Herras returns with his third album for Universal Records, The Greatest Moves. It contains the surefire dance hit, Culos (by H.O.M.), Billboard’s No. 1 hit I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) and The Anthem (by Pitbull) and more tracks to get you grooving plus a bonus VCD of Mark’s Culos music video. Who’s the one girl that Mark will never get tired of dancing with? “Ryza Cenon. Kasi siya

ang original kong kapareha na ‘Bad Girl of the Dance Floor.’” The “Bad Boy of the Dance Floor” wasn’t shaken a bit when he was rumored to have misbehaved out of the dance floor. “Pinatibay lalo ako ng intriga na nakabuntis daw ako. Parang sa sayaw, may perfect timing ang pagiging ama. At ’di pa ngayon yun.” Mark’s got the moves to keep girls’ hearts dancing. Who will he save the last dance for?

Kakatuwa! Sobrang sweetums talaga si Kim. Kilig ako that Jon treated me in Starbucks. There’s so much food sa set dala ng Kimerald fans. Gluttony Club ba ito?” I can’t help but smile seeing

Assunta, KC in cat fight By Marinel R. Cruz

ASSUNTA de Rossi made her on-screen cat fight with young actress KC Concepcion in Lovers in Paris an experience that the latter would never forget. The violent confrontation, complete with hair-pulling and scratching, happens after Eunice (Assunta) catches Vivian (KC) staring longingly at her fiance Carlo (Piolo Pascual) at a party. Eunice attacks Vivian for all of the guests to see. “It was a difficult scene. The script clearly indicated what my character should do and I sim-

ply followed it,” Assunta told INQUIRER Entertainment during the thanksgiving dinner for Lovers in Paris on Friday afternoon. “KC and I discussed the scene with our director [FM Reyes]. We had to make it look authentic. ’Di pwedeng dayain.” In an earlier interview, KC said she was impressed with how well Assunta handled the scene. “When I watched it on TV, it seemed like she really did hurt me. Ate Sam (Assunta’s nickname) is a true professional.” According to Assunta, she got a thank-you message from

KC shortly after. “She said she was grateful that I made sure not to hurt her so much. It felt good to get that text message. Wala pang artistang gumawa n’on sa akin. I just did my job, but KC went out of her way to thank me.” She didn’t mind that her character was taken out of the show ahead of the airing of its final episode on Dec. 11. “Before I agreed to appear on the program, I already knew that it would run for only 10 weeks. I’m happy to have been a part of it. The people behind the show took care of me well.”

IC happy being busy and busy being happy.

KC cares

As KC Concepcion was growing up, she had no idea what poverty meant. Now she is well aware of the hunger that prevails in our society so she has vowed to help in every way she can. That’s why she is extra grateful to Tita Virgie Ramos for their collaboration, KC Cares. Swatch Shares to celebrate the 20th year of the watch brand in the Philippines. Each watch

JAKE Cuenca bought from the Fall/Winter 2009 collection will feed a child for an entire month. That’s time and money well-spent.
