KINANG NG GINTO PINAGMAMALAKI nina, mula sa kaliwa, Camillie Alarilla, Janice Lagman at Rani Ortega ng Team Pilipinas ang gintong medalya sa taekwondo women’s poomsae team na napanalunan kahapon sa 2009 Sotheast Asian Games, sa National University, Vientiane, Laos. Basahin sa page 8. RAFFY LERMA

Hinahon hinihingi ng CBCP Walang tahasang angal ang mga obispo sa umiiral sa Martial Law sa Maguindanao Ni Dona Pazzibugan

W

ALANG pagtutol ang bagong pinuno ng Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) sa batas militar na pinatupad ni Pangulong Macapagal-Arroyo sa Maguindanao. Ngunit hinikayat ni Tandag Bishop Nereo Odchimar, ang bagong pangulo ng CBCP, ang militar na maghinay-hinay. Sa una niyang pahayag para sa CBCP mula nang maluklok noong Dis. 1, nagbabala si Odchimar sa mga may kapangyarihan laban sa pang-aabusong magagawa habang hinuhuli ang mga may

pakana sa pamamaslang ng 57 katao sa Maguindanao noong Nob. 23. “Biases for and against the administration can befuddle the issue. We appeal for sobriety not to let wild speculations and conjectures fly,” saad sa pahayag ni Odchimar na inisyu noong Dis. 8. “At the same time we call for restraint on the part of the ad-

ministrators of martial law so as not to give people reason to suspect any hidden agenda behind the exercise,” aniya. Sinabi pa niyang hindi dapat palawigin ang batas militar nang hindi kinakailangan. Kinatigan ni Odchimar ang posisyon ni Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Quevedo na nagsabi noong Dis. 7 na kailangan ang batas militar “to facili-

tate the pursuit of justice” amid the “complex situation” sa lalawigang matagal nang pinaghaharian ng mga Ampatuan. Ngunit giniit ni Bishop Emeritus Teodoro Bacani ng Novaliches, ang tanging obispong Katoliko sa constitutional commission na bumuo sa Saligang Batas ng 1987, na walang “just cause” para sa Pangulo upangm aghayag ng batas militar.

Noong Martes ng gabi, natagpuan ng militar sa isang warehouse na pag-aari umano ni Maguindanao Gov.

UALA Lumpur, Malaysia—Minamadali ng pamahalaan ng Pilipinas at Moro Islamic Liberation Front ang pagbuo sa kasunduang magtatapos sa ilang dekadang rebelyon ngayong Marso o Abril, ayonsa mga opisyal ng Malaysia na siyang host ng dalawang araw na paunang usapan dito.

pangkapayapaan sa MILF at tuldukan ang sigalot na pumatay na sa mahigit 150,000 katao, bago bumaba sa puwesto si Pangulong Macapagal-Arroyo. Umaasa rin ang MILF, ang pinakamalaking pangkat ng rebeldeng Muslim, sa isang kasunduan pagkatapos ng usapan, na natigil noong Agosto 2008. Sa isang pinagsamang pahayag, pumayag ang magkabilang panig sila sa muling pagbuo sa international task force “to monitor ceasefire, humanitarian, rehabilitation, development and civilian protection agreements.” AFP, CDB

NAKAHANDUSAY sa lupa ang 57 biktima habang isa-isang binaril sa bibig, dibdib o ulo. Si Andal Ampatuan Jr. pa ang tumapos, tiniyak na patay ang lahat gamit ang baby Armalite. Ngunit lumabas na mas malupit na kamatayan ang sinapit ng mga babaeng biktima, na binaril sa mga ari at pinutulan ng mga mahahalagang bahagi. Ito ang mga nakapanlulumong detalyeng nilabas ng Philippine National Police kahapon, kung paano umano sinagawa ni Ampatuan Jr. masaker sa Maguindanao, batay sa pahayag ng isang civilian volunteer at isang pulis na nakasaksi umano sa pamamaslang.

Abogado ni GMA kumakampi kay Padaca KINAMPIHAN si Gov. Grace Padaca ng election lawyer ni Pangulong Macapagal-Arroyo. Tinuligsa ni Romulo Macalintal ang Second Division ng Commission on Elections para sa pagpapababa kay Padaca noong Martes pabor kay dating Gov. Benjamin Dy, sinabing “scandalous” at “a shame” ang pasya. Sinabi ni Macalintal na biktima si Padaca ng isang sindikato sa Comelec na nagpapawalangbisa ng pagkakahalal sa ilang kandidato batay sa umano’y dinoktor na mga boto. “What they did to Padaca was

too much. That decision cannot be tolerated. I hope the Comelec will not issue an execution on this kind of decision,” aniya sa INQUIRER. “The elections may be clean in the precinct and board of elections levels, but not when the results reach the Comelec,” aniya. Nagpasya ang Comelec Second Division noong Dis. 8 na si Dy ang nanalo sa halalan ng 2007 na may 199,435 boto, ilang libong boto ang lamang kay Padaca. Christian V. Esguerra, Villamor Visaya Jr.

The supply of some of these is limited,” ani Samson, dinagdag na kayang punan ng mga armas ang pangangailangan ng isang batalyon ng mga sundalong lumalaban sa mga rebelde. Mula nang simulan ang hakbang laban sa private armies, 458 armas at isang milyong round ng bala ang nahuhukay sa mga lupaing pag-aari umano ng mga Ampatuan. Marlon Ramos at Inquirer Mindanao

’Tis the season to be cheesiest WITH Christmas fast approaching, the cheesiest barkada moments are bound to happen, as friends jump from one party to another. Who can help it when there are sweet songs in the air, twinkling lights and festive food? Combined, all these provide the perfect backdrop for sharing the spirit of the season in unabashed, overflowing, and very cheesy ways. Here are some cheesy Christmas rituals friends enjoy together: The exchange gifts. The monito-monita is one barkada tradition that never goes out of style. Through this, friends express their cheesy side as they hunt for something to buy or even create to give to pals without going over the pre-

scribed budget. The high school reunion. Need a reminder of how corny you were before? There’s the reunion where everyone brings out all the old photos and autograph books. Everyone gets a turn on the hot seat as the entries are perused to reveal past cheesy quotes, mottos and kilig moments. The annual Christmas picture. Like many families, some barkadas even have their annual Christmas photo shoot. All in the name of cheesy Christmas fun, some groups

of friends will go all out for this yearly tradition. They will cook up a creative theme, prepare their costumes, even rent a studio and a good photographer, and then come up with silly poses. Afterwards, multiple copies will be made and sent as Christmas cards to friends here and abroad. One, big party. And then there’s the biggest cheese-fest of all-the barkada Christmas party. This is one time in the year when the enjoyment of scrumptious food goes full-throttle.

To make the barkada’s Christmas events extra cheesy, treat the taste buds to Greenwich’s premium pizza and pasta offerings for the season. The new Triple Ham and Cheese Overload is overflowing with three types of premium hams and cheeses—Chinese ham, pastrami ham and cooked ham; quezo de bola, mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese. There’s also the new Meatball Spaghetti Supreme with parmesan cheese over big juicy Christmas meatballs in marinara sauce and served over al dente pasta. Greenwich also offers other pizza and pasta products that will surely add cheesy delight to the barkada’s Christmas gimmicks. Turn every yuletide event into an extra delicious experience.

Make more kids happy this Christmas favorite Jollibee characters. There’s sure to be something for every girl and boy at the Jollibee Christmas Toy Bazaar. Only Jollibee

brings you the coolest toys at the most affordable prices, so you c a n g i v e m o r e p r esents to more kids this holiday season. Spread the happiness to every boy and

GIE Alcasid is glad about the success of the Kaya Natin Ito concert which lasted for seven and a half hours nonstop. “Gawad Kalinga and OPM have forged a partnership to help storm victims,” he says. “It touched my heart to see the performers give their time, wealth and talent so unselfishly.” Since he’s giving his all to show his love of country, doesn’t he plan to take it to the next level and run for public office? “Never in my wildest dreams,” he quips. “I don’t know anything about politics. I believe what is more important is to really value the true ideals of patriotism. It may be difficult under the current circumstances but it’s the best time to show it.” If there’s anything Ogie is good at showing, it’s his unconditional support for his ex Michelle Van Eimerren and her new hubby Mark. He gave them an iMac as a wedding gift. Ogie and GF Regine’s presence at Michelle and Mark’s wedding was the best present of all.

Dennis and Francis

Patriotism, not politics for Ogie Thursday starting Dec. 10 after Shining Inheritance on the Telebabad block. Dens portrays Miguel who is a workaholic. His life is turned upside down when he gets stuck as the legal guardian of his nephew EJ (Francis). They don’t get along well so Miguel decides to bring EJ to an orphanage. On their way to the shelter, they keep bickering and accidentally shove Santa Claus. Because of their bad behavior, Santa magically switched their bodies to teach them a lesson. Miguel ends up in EJ’s body while EJ is locked up in Miguel’s torso. If Dens could become somebody else for a day, who would he choose to be? “Fedor Emelianenko,” he says. “I want to experience what it’s like to be the greatest mixed martial arts fighter in the world.” In the show, he’s a reluctant father. But in real life, Dens savors being a dad to his love child Calyx. “He’s hyper, madal-

dal, super bright,” Dens beams. “He loves to dance, sing, wrestle and play video games. I love being with him. Last year was my fave Christmas because it was my first one with my son. Even if I have no one to keep me warm this Christmas, it’s more than enough that I have my son to hug.” Many girls must be dying to trade places with Calyx. Exchange? In the vocabulary of a bachelor at large like Dennis, that means “change of ex” because he keeps changing girls.

Regine concert on TV

Don’t miss the musical documentary concert of Regine Velasquez, After The Rain: A Hopeful Christmas with Regine

on Dec. 13 on GMA 7’s Sunday Night Box Office (SNBO). It pays homage to the Filipino spirit that has remained resilient despite the odds brought by “Ondoy” and “Pepeng.” The concert was attended by 800 flood victims who were fetched from evacuation centers and brought to the Kapuso network’s studio for a dinner party before the show. Also featured in the concert are Pops Fernandez, Jaya, Kuh Ledesma, Jay-R, Kyla, La Diva, UP Concert Chorus and more. I remember Regine told me in jest that her necklace, which bears her pet name “Reigne,” means that it rains every time she sings. Such humility and candor makes Asia’s Songbird continue to reign!

Ronaldo’s wacky side

Ronaldo Valdez totally cracked me up when I interviewed him. Now I know where Janno Gibbs got his wacky side. Ronaldo is more than delighted to be Ensure Gold’s “golden guy.” Does he still need Viagra even if he already takes the milk supplement? “I never had problems in that department,” he said with a naughty grin. “I remember Eddie Garcia told me that kung ayaw ni Manoy, eh di ayaw!” Did he also get entangled with many women during his younger years like his son Janno? “I had my time,” he recalled, laughing. “What made me mellow was when FPJ advised me na kung wala naman akong balak pakasalan, ’wag ko ng pakialaman.” How’s Janno and Bing’s marriage now? “I don’t ask,” he replied. “They still live together. Convenient ang set-up nila because they have two condo units next to each other. ’Pag war, sa kabilang unit muna ang isa (laughs).” Humor really is Ronaldo’s anti-aging device.

ABA expansion spells big bucks, exec says By Dennis U. Eroa Sports Editor LAS VEGAS—Joe Newman, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the American Basketball Association, expressed confidence that the $200 million global expansion by the league under Filipino international financier Paul Monozca would be a huge success. ‘’I am proud to be associated with Paul and his people. I am impressed with his professionalism and I have no doubt that he will bring the world together through basketball,’’ said Newman Wednesday as he formally announced the partnership between ABA and ABA Global at the Las Vegas Country Club here. Monozca, the vice-chairman

of ABA Global, said he was impressed with the rich heritage of ABA and there was no way but go global in today’s world. With its global expansion, Filipino players will be given the chance of joining ABA teams next season. Philippine teams will also be given the chance to join the players exchange program and compete in the ABA China Games, World Basketball Cup and other international events to be participated by the ABA. The ABA Global entity will handle all commercial interests worldwide encompassing media, brand and merchandising, player and league management and global events. ‘’Follow the ABA plan and teams can be profitable,’’ Newman stressed.

25TH SEA GAMES

Unang ginto natabo Ni Roy Luarca

V

IENTIANE, Laos—Pinatunayan ng Taekwondo jins ng Pilipinas na sina Janice Lagman, Rani Ann Ortega at Camille Alarilla na tama ang pagtitiwalang ibinigay sa kanila ng sambayanan matapos nilang sikwatin ang unang ginto para sa bansa sa 25th Southeast Asian Games na isinasagawa rito.

Tinalo ng jins—na animo naligaw mula sa isang beauty pageant—ang mga katunggali mula Thailand at Vietnam bago pa man opisyal na magbukas ang palaro dito. Nakuntento naman sa tanso ang koponan ng kalalakihan matapos silang mabigo sa sipaan laban sa nag-kampeon na Myanmar at pumangalawang Laos. Nagbunyi ang mga Pilipinong

nanood sa laban nang ideklarang wagi ang mga Pilipina na gabuhok lang ang lamang sa runner up na mga Thai. Umiskor ang mga Pilipina ng 8.37 sa keumgang form category at 8.60 sa pyongwon para sa kabuoang 16.97. Ang nakuha ng mga Thai ay 16.94 (8.37 at 8.57). Ang mga paboritong Vietnamese ay nakakuha ng 16.87 puntos. Pagkatapos ng mga labanan

kahapon ay nanguna ang Myanmar sa bilang ng medalya na may dalawang ginto. Ang babaeng jins na sina Lagman, isang 22-anyos na nars; Ortega, isang 23-anyos na gradweyt ng sports science, at Alarilla, isang 22-anyos na nagtapos ng economics, ay kagagaling lang sa isa pang panalo sa 4th World Poomsae Championships sa Cairo, Egypt. Bago sumali sa poomsae—katumbas ng kata (porma) sa karatedo—dalawang taon na ang nakalilipas, ang tatlong Pilipina ay bahagi ng national sparring team na inaasahang mag-uuwi ng maraming medalya rito “We really prepared hard for the games,” ani Ortega.
