MAMIGAY NA NG WARM EMBRACES
Christmasfeeling nasa Baguio
“Bring out yoursweaters and bonnets becausethis kind of weather makes youshiver and feel like your headwill burst,” wika ni Leticia Dis-po, weather specialist ng Philip-pine Atmospheric, Geophysicaland Astronomical Services Ad-ministration (Pagasa) para salungsod na ito.
Nitong nakaraang buwan aynaramdaman na ng mga taga-Baguio ang ginaw.
Okt. 27 nang maranasan angpinakamalamig na araw ngbuwan. Bumagsak sa 12.4 digriSentigrado ang temperatura salungsod. Sa kasagsagan ngpaghampas ng Bagyong“Pepeng” sa hilagang Luzonnoong Okt. 9 ay pumalo sa 12.8
digri ang klima.Batay sa rekord ng Pagasa,
ang klima sa Baguio at Benguetay pangkaraniwang nasa pagi-tan ng 14 at 14.8 digri Sentigra-do mula Okt. 21 hanggang 25.
Maging sa Metro Manila aynaramdaman na ang paglamig ngpanahon. Bumaba ang temperatu-ra sa 19.8 digri Sentigrado noongNob. 1. Sa araw ding ito, ang kli-ma sa Baguio ay 13.8 digri.
Pero idinagdag ni Dispo na da-pat samantalahin ng mga tao angmalamig na panahon dahil nag-babanta ang El Niño, partikularsa mga unang buwan ng 2010.
Aniya, mas konti ang dalangulan ng Bagyong “Santi,” isangindikasyon na may paparatingna tagtuyot.

Aniya, nagsimula ang pagpa-parehistro noon pang Dis. 2,2008, ngunit dumagsa lang angmga tao kung kailan malapit naang deadline noong Okt. 31.
“There was quite a number ofdays when virtually there wereno registrants. Then in the lastthree-f ive days, the peopleflooded the local offices to beatthe deadline,” he said.
Tinatayang 45 milyon angboboto sa halalan sa 2010.

“We are dismayed to see mil-lions of pesos being spent by na-tional and local candidates forcostly and hollow campaign ma-terials that have messed up ouralready chaotic streets,” sinabini Romy Hidalgo, bise presi-dente ng EcoWaste Coalition
Aniya, ang mga politiko ay“directly or indirectly spendingfor political propaganda amidpost-disaster woes.”
Sinabi ni Hidalgo na ang mgatarpolin ay isang uri ng prema-ture campaigning na “wastes fi-nancial and material resourcesthat are better spent for activi-ties that can alleviate the suffer-ings of disaster victims.”

Ayon sa Agence France Presse,itinanggi ni MILF vice chairGhadzali Jaafar ang pahayag niPuno, sinabing tumulong angpangkat niya sa pagpapalaya saibang bihag sa nakalipas.

nott, kaya tuluyan nang naisara ang pinto sa alok ngpangkat na tulong sa pagpapalaya sa misyunerong Irish.
“It is clear to us that the kid-nappers are either directly con-nected to or very closely associ-ated with the MILF,” ani Punosa isang news briefing sa CampCrame.
“In the process of the casebuildup, the identities of thekidnappers started to surfaceand a great majority of themare actually identified as mem-bers of the MILF 113rd BaseCommand,” paliwanag niya.
Ani Puno, ang pangkat napinamumunuan ng isang AlAshree ang dumukot kay Fr.Michael Sinnott, 79, sa Pagadi-an City noong Okt. 11.

‘Ded na si Lolo’ screeningThankfully, PETA with the
generous support of APT En-tertainment, is offering a lim-ited preview of the film to-gether with two other top cal-iber films such as Maryo J.Delos Reyes' Kamoteng Kahoyand Joel Lamangan's Fuschia.
On November 13-15, thethree films are showing back-to-back at the PETA TheaterCenter in a three-day filmfestentitled: C MO SI DIREK. Theevent also offers a one-of-a-kind treat: a chitchat with thedirectors and cast themselvesright after each screening!
The Ded Na Si Lolo cast,namely: Elizabeth Oropesa,Manilyn Reynes, PerlaBautista, Deborah Sun, GinaAlajar, BJ Forbes will be pre-sent with the film’s directorSoxie Topacio on November
13, for the opening of “C Mosi Direk.”
The two other films fea-tured in the festival areFuschia and Kamoteng Kahoy:
Fuschia is about three se-nior citizens (played by GloriaRomero, Eddie Garcia, andRobert Arevalo) who stay un-der one roof even thoughtownsfolk consider it to be abig scandal. Mameng (Gloria)learns about a much biggerscandal in their town involv-ing their mayor and she even-tually works up the courage toexpose him through her ownfabulous way.
Based on the tragedy thattook place in Bohol in 2005,Kamoteng Kahoy tells the taleof the young children whosurvived the widespread poi-soning caused by pesticide-
laced maruya (banana frit-ters). The film also tackles thefate of the old woman vendor(played by Gloria Romero)who is blamed for cooking thepoisoned food.
All films start screening at7:30 p.m. at the PETA TheaterCenter (#5 Eymard Drive,New Manila Q.C.) The sched-ule are as follows: Ded Na SiLolo, November 13; KamotengKahoy, November 14; Fuschia,November 15.
Tickets are available atP200 one screening and a dis-counted rate of P500 for allthree screenings. For ticketreservations contact the PETAMarketing and Public Rela-tions Office at 725-6244. Youmay also call or text 0909-8705601/0917-8044428 oremail [email protected]
A FTER being recently picked as the official en-try of the Philippines in the “Best Film in For-eign Language” category for the 2010 Oscars
and upon getting an “A” rating by the Cinema Evalua-tion Board, many have been itching to see Ded Na SiLolo for another round of world-class comedy drama!
Osang asmaneaterBy Hazel P. Villa, Inquirer Visayas
MIAG-AO, Iloilo—For a change, Rosanna “Os-ang” Roces does not bare flesh. This time, sheeats it, and with gusto, in Wanted: Border—adark comedy by award-winning Ilonggo direc-tor Ray Defante Gibraltar.
The film is one of five competing finalists inthe 2009 Cinema One Originals Digital MovieFestival on Nov. 13-17 at Gateway Cinemas inCubao, Quezon City.
“Luka-lukang project!” exclaimed the irre-pressible former talk show host during an in-terview in an almost rundown house here, thesetting of the full-length film.
The 37-year-old semi-retired actress just hadto say yes—especially after the Ilonggo directorsaid he wanted “bad acting.”
Stumped, Osang had to meet Gibraltar andthat was the birth of this zany, thought-provok-ing and sacrilegious film that was scripted inthe Ilonggo language, Hiligaynon.
Osang plays Mama Saleng, a 60-year-old re-ligious fanatic who owns a boarding house-cum-eatery. In her younger years, Saleng andher grandmother were accused by the towns-folk of being aswangs.
The film takes on many twists and turns,mostly focusing on how Saleng butchers andcooks her boarders. It then segues into an un-expected interpretation of the Bible’s Seven LastWords—with Saleng being nailed to the crossand spewing words that would probably makethe religious want to flog her and the director.

Kris Bernal: Thatwas just a ‘beso’
By Dolly Anne Carvajal
K RIS Bernal sent me this text mes-sage to clarify what I wrote in myprevious column, that she was
spotted kissing a gym instructor: “Ireally make beso my trainer
when I arrive and before Ileave. He is also the train-er of Aljur. He is our
kuya. He already has a family. No malice involved.”
Lip exercises? Just physi-cal—no attraction.
Fame in a prettyhead
Has fame gotten into CarlaAbellana’s pretty head sosoon? A staff member of Ros-alinda says, “Pag nasa dress-ing room, pinapalagyan niya
ng “Silence please” na signang door. Pati paggamit
ng computer, pinag-babawal niya kasi
maingay daw.” All celebs havetheir own quirks. Maybe Carlawas just in one of her moods.Or does the smell of successmake her long for the sound ofsilence?

It’s Sarah’s fourth stint at theBig Dome. The first three wereall smash hits, so she is all setto outdo herself. She is alsoputting the finishing touches toYour Christmas Girl, a music
video for the album of the sametitle, which will feature originalcompositions like the title trackand all-time Yuletide favorites.Sarah, rah-rah-rah!

I enjoyed my very first trip toZamboanga City with some funmedia colleagues and my bestguy friend, Cesar Montano. Wetoured the high-tech canningplant of Mega Sardines, whichBuboy endorses.
He is defninitely running forgovernor of Bohol, his homeprovince, in 2010. “I will take aleave from Singing Bee,” he toldus. “I have to abide by Comelecrules, even if I will miss hostingthe show.”
And how is his marriage?“Sunshine and I consider trialsas another brick to strengthenthe tower of our relationship,”Buboy said.
Guess whoCould it be true that a senior
actor is tolerating her daugh-ter’s liaison dangereuse with ahigh-profile personality becausehe needs financing for a majormove he’s about to make?
