Pitó maghahati sa P180-M jackpot ng Super Lotto

P

Ni Nancy C. Carvajal

AGHAHATIAN ng pitong tao na tumaya sa iba’t ibang panig ng Luzon ang P180.3-milyong 6/49 Super Lotto pot, sinabi kahapon ng Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).

Ayon kay PCSO spokesperson Larry Cedro, dalawa na ang kumubra ng premyo (tigP25.7 milyon) kahapon, isang retiradong pulis mula sa San Juan at isang di-kasal na guro mula sa Quezon City. Hindi pa nagpapakita sa tanggapan ng PCSO sa Quezon City ang limang iba pang tumama, na tumaya sa Novaliches at Galas, Quezon City; Taytay, Rizal; Imus,

Cavite; San Juan; Parañaque; at Candelaria, Quezon. Lumabas sa bola noong Linggo ng gabi ang kumbinasyong 13-24-27-08-42-31. Ani Cedro, ito ang unang pagkakataon sa taong ito na tinamaan ng maraming mananaya ang ganoon kalaking premyo. Dumating ang dating pulis bago mag-tanghali, habang hapon naman nagpakita ang guro. “It only took at least 20 minutes to process their claims separately,” ani Cedro.

Batay sa information sheet na sinagutan ng mga nagwagi, “they picked up the winning combination using significant dates of family members,” ani Cedro. Aniya, hindi pa alam ng dating pulis, na nagsabing may tatlong anak na pamilyado na, kung ano ang gagawin sa premyo niya. “He said he planned to deposit the money first in the bank and decide later what to do with it,” ani Cedro. Ido-donate ng guro ang 10 porsyento ng kanyang premyo sa kawanggawa at bibigyan ang apat na kapatid ng tig-P1 milyon. “The rest of the money she said, would be for investment,” balak umano ng guro, ani Cedro.

Isang boxing ring ang magiging entablado sa convention hall, palilibutan ng slot machines at poker tables, ayon kay Michael Bren Evangelio, isa sa mga nag-aasikaso sa kaganapan.

Simbang Gabi may pampagising GISINGIN ninyo ang aantok-antok na kawan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng buhay na pangangaral at masiglang mga awitin. Ito ang buod ng tagubilin ng Archdiocese of Manila sa mga pari at layko na sasalubong sa mga Katolikong gigising nang maaga ngayong umaga sa pagsisimula ng Simbang Gabi. Ang pagsasagawa ng siyam na araw na

Misa de Gallo ay nagsimula noong panahon ng Kastila. “What the Church asks when you arrive is to give yourself completely to the celebration,” sabi ni Fr. Genaro Diwa, direktor ng Ministry for Liturgical Affairs. Hinimok ni Diwa ang mga pari na magbigay ng buhay at makahulugang sermon. “You will be surprised that many of

Iraqi pinukol 2 sapatos kay George Bush

‘My farewell kiss, you dog!’

BAGHDAD—Sumigaw ng “This is a farewell kiss, you dog” at “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq!” sa wikang Arabiko, pinagbabato ng sapatos ng isang reporter na Iraqi si US President George Bush noong Linggo.

Nasa isang farewell visit dito si Bush, na nakailag sa dalawang sapatos na ipinukol sa kanya sa gitna ng isang news conference kasama si Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Muntik nang tamaan si Bush ng mga sapatos, na malakas na humampas sa dingding sa likod ng mga pinuno. Sa kulturang Iraqi, tanda ng panghahamak ang pagbato ng sapatos sa isang tao. Hinagis ang sapatos nang papakamay na sina Bush at al-Maliki. Tumalon mula sa kanyang inuupuan si Al-Baghdadia television correspondent Muntadar al-Zeidi at pinukol ang sapatos sa pangulo, na may 20 talampakan ang layo sa kanya. Nagkagulo nang kubkubin ng mga tauhan ni al-Maliki si al-Zeidi. Pininid siya sa sahig, pagkatapos ay inilabas ng silid. “So what if the guy threw a shoe at me?” ani Bush sa mga reporter. “If you want the facts, it was a size 10,” pagbibiro pa niya. Reuters, AFP, New York Times News Service

our people are looking for substantial homilies. I think that will make a difference,” dagdag niya. “That’s one thing. The other is, I think all the choirs would be convinced that a Simbang Gabi without good singing is tantamount to a sandwich without anything inside,” sabi pa ng pari.

Pati ba naman burol may exclusive coverage?

ANG hirap din naman talaga kapag may network war. Akala ko, kasal lang ng mga big stars ang may exclusivity sa isang istasyon. Kapag ikinasal ang isang kapuso na superstar, GMA lang ang puwedeng magcover. Kapag ikinasal naman ang isang big star ng Kapamilya network, Channel 2 lang ang may karapatang mag-cover. Pero nakakaloka na kapag pati pala libing at burol ng isang artista, may exclusivity pa rin. Pati ba naman yun pag-aawayan pa at gagawin pang issue. Kawawa naman si Marky Cielo. *** Di ko lang matandaan pero nung libing at burol kaya ni Rico Yan na isang Kapamilya eh may nag-ban din sa mga taga-GMA na magcover ng burol at libing? *** Wala na si Didith Reyes, ang dating sikat na singer na nagpasikat ng Bakit Ako Mahihiya at Araw-Araw, GabiGabi.

Kinagabihan, nag-contract signing na sina Marian at Mr. Dennis Uy para officially ay maging endorser na si Marian ng Phoenix Petroleum, isang major oil player sa Mindanao and soon, dito sa Luzon at Visayas. Si Manny Pacquiao ay endorser din ng Phoenix Oil.

HAD a blast with my amigo muy simpatico Cesar Montano and Journey’s front man Arnel Pineda at Buboy’s resto, Bellissimo. They met way back, during Arnel’s struggling days at Spindle. “I was shy and he was busy,” recalled Arnel. “But music paved the way for us to be friends.” Now that Arnel has hit the big time, he and Buboy are planning to stage a concert in various provinces. “It would be an honor to work with a great artist like Buboy,” says Arnel. Buboy is equally excited that Arnel agreed to do a duet with him in his next album, Subok Uli. “Ibang klase ang boses ni Arnel,” gushed Buboy. “Parang may ibang pathway na dinadaanan.”

My fave band True Faith’s Medwin and Eugene Marfil and Jake Lumacad gamely jammed with them. So did Duncan Ramos. Listening to all of them sing was pure rapture! Arnel remains grounded even if he is already way up there. “My most memorable moment with Journey so far is when the hard core Steve Perry fans cheered for me and accepted me as the new vocalist of the band,” he said.

Husay mo, Harry! WORLD CUP GOLD MEDALIST

P

ALPAK sa Athens at Beijing Olympics, bida sa prestihiyosong World Cup.

Ito ang istorya ni light-flyweight Harry Tañamor na isa ring sarhento sa Philippine Army. Dinomina ni Tañamor si Yampier Hernandez ng Cuba, 15-7 at kinuha ang karangalan bilang unang Pilipinong boksingero na nakakuha ng ginto sa World Cup sa Megasport Sports Palace sa Moscow, Russia Linggo.

Hindi pinaporma ng 31-taon-gulang na Zamboangeño si Hernandez sa simula pa lamang ng sagupaan. Mahusay ang kanyang counter-punching at maliksi ang kilos na nagpahirap sa agresibong Cuban. Semplang si Tañamor sa first round ng Beijing Olympics at bagsak sa second round ng

sapakan si Tañamor noong 2004 Athens Olympics. Ibinulsa ni Tañamor ang $10,000 sa paligsahan na sinalihan ng pinakamagagaling na boksingero sa iba’tibang panig ng mundo. “I felt vindicated by Harry's win. It proved that the decision to send him to the Olympics wasn't a wrong decision, after all. He wasn't fortunate to win in the Olympics but his victory in the World Cup

is proof that he can compete with the best,” sabi ni outgoing Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines president Manny Lopez. Si Lopez na bagong Philippine Olympic Commitee first vice-president ay siya ring tatayong bise-pangulo ng ABAP sa darating na taon. Suportado ng Pacific Heights at Philippine Sports Commission ang biyahe nina Tañamor at coach

Ronald Chavez. Pinuri ni PSC chair William ‘‘Butch” Ramirez si Tañamor. ‘‘The victory is a source of pride and happiness for the country. I also would like to congratulate ABAP headed by Manny Lopez for the win,” wika ni Ramirez. Kinuha ng Cuba ang pangkalahatang titulo ng kunin ang limang ginto, kasunod ang host Russia na may tatlong ginto.
