no need to bargain the Clark
Green City project if only the
Clark airport is fully developed
and functioning as the premier
international gateway of the
country.
Thus, said the Pinoy Gu-

here yesterday pointing out
that there are no takers of the
Green City project because
the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA)
“lacks credibility.”
“They lost their credibility
after making empty promises
and missed opportunities,” said
PGKM Chair Ruperto Cruz.
Why bargain? asked Cruz.
“If the airport is fully operational as a premier international
gateway, investors will come
naturally,” he reasoned. “No
need to bargain,” he added.
However, Cruz cautioned

CARP revival only to pave way
for landlord plans, say farmers
By Ding Cervantes
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO The plan to revive the expired
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) would
only pave the way for the final
control of some 700,000 hectares of agricultural lands by
their landlords.
This fear was expressed by
the Kilusang Magbubukid ng
Pilipinas (KMP) amid moves in
Congress to revive CARP allegedly to “complete” the program. It noted that proponents
of House Bill 4296 or the bill
seeking to extend the CARP
claimed that “the bill was only
for the completion of CARP
and not an extension.”
KMP Secretary General
Antonio Flores accused the
proponents of “spreading lies.”
“Their so-called ‘CARP
completion’ line on House Bill
4296 is totally illusory and deceptive. A sham, anti-peasant,
and pro-landlord program designed to strengthen landlord
control over vast haciendas
can never complete land distribution,” said Flores.
The KMP said that “the
renewed push to extend the
sham CARP will only legitimize and hasten the exemption, exclusion, and land-use
conversion, of the more than
700,000 hectares after these
are issued notices of coverage. This was what happened
in the Araneta Estate in San
Jose Del Monte, Bulacan and
Hacienda Dolores in Porac,
Pampanga among other agricultural lands.”
“After the issuance of a notice of coverage, petitions for
exemption and exclusion by
big landlords and corporations
will follow and, as expected, the DAR using the sham
CARP will grant the petitions
legitimizing and strengthening landlord control over the
lands,” Flores said.
Citing government’s own
figures, the KMP said that
“a large chunk or 44 percent
of the Department of Agrarian Reform’s (DAR) accomplishment are public lands or
non-private agricultural lands.”
“Farmers were made to
pay amortizations for these
public lands and after completion of their payment or while
the farmers are still paying,
their so-called certificates of
ownership are being cancelled
by the DAR citing anti-peasant
provisions on exemption, exclusion, and land-use conversion of the sham CARP itself,”
Flores noted.
He also cited the case of
farmer-beneficiaries in more
than 12,000 hectares of public lands in Calatagan, Batangas whose certificates of land
ownership award (CLOAs)
were cancelled to give way to
a real estate project of an affluent and influential family.
The KMP also said that
“the DAR’s 56 percent accomplishment on the acquisition
of private agricultural lands is
highly questionable. “
“The DAR’s accomplishment on private agricultural
lands is also deceiving. It is
inclusive of non-land transfer schemes like the notorious stock distribution option (SDO), leaseback agreements, joint ventures, and other schemes where control over
the lands remains with agribusiness corporations, and
unresolved agrarian disputes
involving millions of hectares
of lands,” Flores said.
He noted that “in 2013,
DAR figure shows that there
are 494,945 agrarian law implementation cases resolved/
disposed/processed by the
agency.”
“Even agrarian cases resolved by the DAR are still
questionable. The data do not
state if the cases were decided in favour of farmers or the
landlords, or, if the case were
appealed to a higher court,”
Flores said.
The KMP reiterated calls
for Congress for the passage of House Bill 252 or the
Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill
(GARB) to break landlord control and monopoly of lands.
“GARB is the exact opposite of the bogus CARP. It will
put an end to land monopoly
and implement the free distribution of lands to the tillers,”
the KMP said.
The peasant group also announced tomorrow’s launching at the University of the
Philippines (UP) of the Philippine Land Reform Movement (PLRM), the biggest and
broadest movement of land reform advocates ranging from
farmers, workers, academics,
economists, lawyers, church
people, youth, peace advocates, and nationalists in the
business sector.
“No land reform program
exists and farmers are being
offered with a fake solution to
the land problem. Up to now,
social inequities and exploitation of farmers persists. It is
therefore a moral imperative
and a political necessity for
the Filipino people to link arms
with the peasantry and the
rural people to heighten the
struggle and campaign for a
new land reform program,” the
KMP said.
The PLRM calls to put an
end to landlord monopoly of
lands, advocate a genuine
land reform program that addresses farmers’ economic,
political, and social emancipation. It is a movement that
advocates genuine rural development, promotes national
industrialization, and actively
involves in the struggle for national sovereignty, peace, democracy, and social change.
40 kabataan huli
sa drag racing
Ni Rommel Ramos
LUNGSOD NG MALOLOS CITY -- Nasa 40 kabataan ang inaresto ng Bulacan PNP matapos maaktuhan ang mga ito ng
drag racing sa Barangay Camchilihan, By-Pass Road ng Bustos, Bulacan.
Ayon kay Supt. Ferdinand Divina, provincial director ng Bulacan PNP, matagal na nilang minamanmanan ang grupong ito ng
mga kabataan na nagsasagawa ng drag racing na kung tawagin
ay “Digmaan”.
Kasama sa 40 ay ang 15 kabataan na pawang mga menor
de edad na nasa kustodiya ngayon ng Bulacan PNP.
Ipinakalat ng pulisya ang nasa 200 kapulisan para isagawa
ang entrapment operation sa mga kabataang ito gamit ang mga
Yamaha Mio motorcycles na nagmumula pa sa ibat-ibang bayan
sa Bulacan.
May mga kabataan pang nasugatan gaya ng gasgas sa katawan at bungi ng ngipin matapos magkaripasan o subukang
magsitakas nang pag-aarestuhin ng PNP.
Ayon kay Carl Matullo, residente ng Barangay Pitpitan sa
bayan ng Bulakan, nayaya lamang siya ng mga kaibigan na manood ng Digmaan ngunit hindi daw sila kasama sa karera.
Matagal na daw na nagaganap ang karerahang ito ng mga
motorsiklo ng mga kabataan na ginagawa kapag madaling araw.
Ang mga naaaresto ay kakasuhan ng paglabag sa alarm and
scandal, Land Transportation Code, paglabag sa helmet code,
at pagmamaneho ng nakainom.
Ang mga kabataan ay nasa kustodiya ngayon ng Bulacan
PNP habang ite-turn over naman sa DSWD.
Kumpiskado rin ang mga motorsiklo ng mga lumahok at
naaresto sa nasabing drag racing.

BALANGA City- Public
elementary and secondary schools in 11 towns
in Bataan are ready for
the opening of classes
on Monday, the provin-
Cebu Pacific Ad
cial office of the Department of Education in Balanga City announced
Wednesday.
Dr. Tarcila Javier,
Bataan schools division
superintendent,
said
they are not facing problems but challenges this
school year.
“We are fortunate in
Bataan because the big
problems suffered by
other schools divisions
as to the lack of classrooms and teachers are
being filled-up by the local government. We are
ready for school year
2015-2016,” she said.
Josefina
Naguit,
schools division planning officer, said that
classroom-student
ratio in Bataan is better
than most schools in the
country with the province enjoying a ratio of
one classroom for 37 elementary school pupils
(1:37) and 1:39 in secondary schools.
She said that there
are 9,029 teachers to
attend to expected enrollees of more or less
96,000 children in elementary and kindergarten schools and 46,000
in secondary schools.
Evelyn Mendoza, education program supervisor, dealt on the readiness of the provincial
schools division on its
school-based
feeding
program. She said that
the national government
has released a budget
of P4.928 million for the
program.
“Hindi na magiging
problema ang sinasabing walang pagkain ang
mga bata kaya hindi papasok,” she said. Lunch
will be served free to children in selected schools
with a budget of P16 per
meal.
Javier said that they
have not encountered
major problems in the
three-year implementation of the K-12 program
that is on the fourth year
this school year. “What
we are preparing is the
Senior High School in
2016,” the DepEd provincial chief said.
“Handang-handa na
ang Bataan sa pagpapatupad ng Senior High
School 2016,” said Edgar Garcia, education
program supervisor and
senior high school focal
person.
He said that ready to
offer senior high school
are 16 public schools
and 19 private schools
in the province. “Teachers and parents have
already been oriented while students know
their thrusts.”
He said that construction of new senior high
school buildings will start
June this year and expected to be completed
May next year in time for
the opening of classes.
Garcia said that when
the K-12 program started, curriculum guides,
learning materials were
already in place.
“Even the hiring system for teachers has
been readied. The provincial government under Gov. Albert Garcia
is fully supportive of the
senior high school,” he
said.

China syndrome
DIPLOMACY IS not exclusively a government
to government endeavor. There are a lot of
Filipino businessmen with businesses in China
and they have friends and connections there.
Let’s utilize that, ask them to talk to their friends
on how we can resolve this matter peacefully.
Even if we don’t manage to arrive at an agreement
immediately, if we are talking there’s a chance
might be able to reason with China to stop doing
what it’s doing and continue talking. If we manage
to do that, there is hope for a peaceful resolution.

Vigilantism
4
I was asked what I thought of Digong Duterte. I
replied that he was my Regional Peace and Order
Council Chair for Region 11, and he succeeded in
restoring order because the violators of society’s
right to live safely and securely were resting in
peace.
That gives rise to the debate about the efficacy
of vigilantism, or extra-legal means, to decisively
suppress criminality. It really boils down to the
integrity and efficiency of the criminal justice system.
If it doesn’t work, vigilantism will be supported by
an angry and exasperated society.
At that point, society won’t have the luxury nor
the inclination to demand a strictly lawful and moral
approach to the rule of law. It’s an unwanted but
necessary consequence of bad governance where
society will avert their eyes from extra-judicial
killings for as long as society’s good is benefited.
The thing is this. Society will be benefited for the
short-term. Soon enough it gives birth to a monster
within that would be difficult to suppress when it
gets out of hand. Solution: fix the criminal justice
system now - from law enforcement all the way to
penology - to avoid the need for vigilantism.

Bargaining chip
ABSENT A single entrant to the bidding last month, the Bases Conversion and
Development Authority slashed the floor price for Phase 1 of its Clark Green City
project from P500 million to P160 million.
The basement price was further sweetened
with the removal of the requisite P2.5 billion
initial cash investment.
At its inception, the BCDA bullishly projected
Phase 1 at a total cost of P59 billion through the
Public-Private Partnership scheme.
Correspondingly, the BCDA has scaled
down – in fact, did a diminution of – the CGC
project from an initial 36,000 hectares to 9,450
hectares with its Phase 1 measuring only 288
hectares. Out of grand designs, trivial things
aborning.
From whopper to wimp. As we quote from
our seminary Latin which ex-seminarian BCDA
President-CEO Arnel Paciano Casanova may
well understand: “Parturiunt montes, nascitur
ridiculus mus ­(The mountains are in labor, a
ridiculous mouse is born).”
Go awry the best laid schemes of mice and
men. Indeed, Robert Burns, indeed.
In effect the BCDA designed a megamall
only to end up with a tiangge. And still no
buyers. Aye, short shrift of Gulliver’s Travel
from the Brobdingnagian to the Lilliputian there.
Can’t help but wax classic here.
At the turn of the scheme of things at the
CGC at this point, prescient, if not prophetic,
Pinoy Gumising Ka Movement Chair Perto
Cruz emerged.
Quotes from the Sept. 29, 2014 story here
titled CIA as int’l gateway, rail system
prerequisite to Clark Green City:
To Cruz, the “full operation” of the Clark
International Airport as international gateway
“is prime essential to the very being” of the
Clark Green City.
“No foreign investor in his right mind will sink
in millions of dollars in a place accessible only
through the congested NAIA (Ninoy Aquino
International Airport) and traffic-gridlocked
Metro Manila. Simple as that,” Cruz said.
A “necessary complement” to the Clark
airport is a rail system between the metropolis
and Clark “for ease and facility of travel,”
according to Cruz.
This, at the time apl.de.app, the Angeles
City-born member of the Grammy Awardwinning Black Eyed Peas, signed with the
BCDA a memorandum of understanding “to
promote and market worldwide key areas of
investment and development…including but
not limited to the Clark Freeport Zone and the
Clark Green City.”
“No offense to apl.de.app. but it’s not him,
even granting his global fame, that shall attract
potential investments to the Clark Green City,”
so was Cruz quoted, qualifying: “The Clark
Green City project may generate publicity with
apl.de.ap as its poster boy, but what will attract
investments will be infrastructures in-place that
shall ascertain its viability.”
That was the first and – to date – last time
apl.de.app figured in any BCDA press release.
Which lent further credence to the public
declaration of the PGKM, published here on
Aug 20, 2014 that Clark Green City is ‘plain
publicity stunt.’
The PGKM was reacting to reports that the
BCDA would not spend for the development of
the envisioned CGC but instead start bidding
out contracts covering its long-term lease and
development without cost to the government
This, after Casanova himself said at a forum
of the Capampangan in Media Inc. at Bale
Balita in Clark that the CGC had a funding of
P7.2 billion.
“First there was an announcement of
P7.2 billion funding for the CGC. Now the
government won’t even spend anything but
would only auction it to investors.” So was Cruz
quoted in the story.
And queried: “What should we believe?...
What results are we expecting here when
Casanova has less than two years left in office?”
“You have been in your positions in
government for so long since the start of the
Aquino administration, and yet you have
nothing to show. Why is it only now that you are
moving for the development of the sub-zone?”
Noting then that the CGC, “even in the
unlikelihood that it really does take shape,” is
“destined to be a white elephant like the Expo
Pilipino,” because the key to attracting investors
is the airport.
To the PGKM the premium bargaining chip
for the CGC is the Clark International Airport.
None other.
As that story quoted Cruz: “Everything is
now dependent on the (Clark) airport because
without it, no one will come,”
Build it – the CIA as premier international
gateway – and they will come.
The “Field of Dreams” all too clear there.
Too bad Casanova is no Kevin Costner.

Manuel Roxas was inducted
into office as President
On May 28, 1946, Manuel
Roxas was inducted into office as third (and last) President of the Commonwealth
having been elected on April
23, 1946. Roxas took his oath
of office in a temporary structure built near the ruins of the
Legislative Building. Outgoing
President Osmeña, following
the American tradition, conducted him there but left before the ceremonies, retiring
to his private residence in the
Santa Mesa District.
Roxas was sworn in at
9:10, received a 19-gun salute, and delivered an address in which he contrasted
the prosperity and happiness
of the country before the war
with the present tragic situation.
He declared that during the
years of the Japanese occu-
pation, Philippine hearts and
convictions had never faltered,
that the “Filipinos discharged
their debt of allegiance to the
United States with a payment
of loyalty which was never surpassed”, and asked the people to have faith in the justice
of America.
“I have faith in the wisdom
of our people. I have trust in
the goodness of God. Let us
together maintain our faith in
each other, in liberty and in
the ways of democracy, and
give strength to one another
as we advance in our search
for the ever-green pastures of
peace and well-being for all.
With the help of Almighty God,
let us build in this our land a
monument to freedom, liberty, and justice, a beacon to all
mankind.”
Early in his speech he
mentioned as sources of inspiration the late President Quezon, “that mighty champion of
independence and great friend
and benefactor of the masses” and the “spotless integrity
and noble patriotism” of President Osmeña “who grasped
the banner of leadership when
the incomparable Quezon was
taken from us”.
Elpidio Quirino who was inducted as Vice President on
this same day, was appointed
by the President as secretary
of finance.
Roxas became the third
and last President of the Commonwealth and first President
of the Republic of the Philippines on July 4, 1946. Quirino the first Vice President of
the new republic was also appointed secretary of foriegn affairs on July 6, 1946.

NGCP appeals vs. kaingin
that cause power outages
By Ding Cervantes
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO
- Amid continuing drought in
various parts of the country,
the National Grid Corporation
of the Philippines (NGCP)
has appealed to the public,
particularly farmers, to refrain
from “kaingin” and other practices that could start brush
fires that could burn electric
wooden poles.
The NGCP issued this
appeal amid reports of such
fires affecting wooden poles
and leading to power outages.
“In Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, and Bulacan, where rice
farming is a primary source
of income, burned hay and
grass interrupted the transmission of power. The thick
smoke from a burning fire
near or under the high-voltage lines may create a conductive path for a so-called
flashover across the air gap
between the three conductors
of a transmission line,” the
NGCP said in a statement.
The NGCP also noted
that in Samar and Eastern
Visayas, recent brush fires
resulted in the burning of its

DSWD takes from parents
child featured like a dog in FB
By Ernie Esconde
ORANI, Bataan- The Department of Social Welfare and
Development on Tuesday afternoon temporarily pulled out
from the parents a one-yearand-five-month- old male child
whose picture was featured in
facebook like a dog.
The naked child was tied
on the neck with his picture
captioned “my new pet dog”.
The picture has gone viral and
elicited bad comments against
the mother.
The 23-year-old mother
from a quiet village in Orani, Bataan admitted to have
posted the picture of her baby
“bilang katuwaan lang”. She
asked forgiveness for what
she did, saying she loves her
only child dearly and has no
bad intention and meant no
harm to her baby.
DSWD, however, was not
convinced and continued with
its “rescue” order for the child.
“Temporary under care
muna namin sa Reception
Study Center for Children
(RSCC) ang bata. Pwede
naman siyang bisitahin ng
nanay upang pa-dedehin,”
said Lucrecia Cruz, head of the
center in Lubao, Pampanga.
“Ang nanay ng bata ay
magkakaroon ng counseling
at psychological intervention.
Maaaring ma-release ang
bata depende sa assessment
sa mga magulang kung kaya
na ba nilang mapangalagaan
ang anak,” Cruz said.
The child was brought to
the Orani District Hospital
to check his physical condition before proceeding to the
DSWD center in Lubao.
“Pull-out muna namin ang
bata to undergo psycho-so-
cial intervention samantalang
ang nanay naman sasailalim
sa psychological evaluation,”
said Monette Gantang, social
worker of the 1st District of
Bataan.
Elizabeth Cruz, social
worker of Orani, Bataan, said
the parents of the child reported to their office and explained
what happened.
“Ipinaliwanag nila ang
nangyari at sinabing katuwaan
lamang yon. Sinabihan ko sila
na malaking kamalian iyon at
hindi maaaring katuwaan lamang ang ganoon sapagka’t
malaki ang pananagutan nila
sa anak,” the municipal social
worker said.
The father and grandfather of the child asked that the
mother be not judged as a bad
one. “She is a good and a caring mother. Please forgive her
for what she did,” they said.

1,977 persons have HIV in CL
From page 1
The study also noted
that an average of 12 in
every 100 children have
iodine deficiency disorders leading to blindness, mental retardation
and even death., while
four of every 100 children below six years old
are underweight.
These were revealed
in a report of the regional office of the Department of Health (DOH)
which launched here
yesterday its “high im-
pact universal health
care program zeroing
in on HIV and Acquired
Immuno-Deficiency
Syndrome (AIDS) prevention and control,
newborn screening, expanded program for immunization, family planning, maternal and child
health, and nutrition.
The DOH report said
most of the HIV cases involved males having sex
with males, people in
prostitution, and people
who inject drugs.
The report also not-
ed 49 maternal deaths
per 100,000 live births
in Central Luzon. “These
deaths are due to preventable causes like eclampsia and obstetric
haemorrhage,” the report said.
It also noted that
about 1,500 children under five years of age die
due to under nutrition,
vaccine-preventable diseases, infections and injuries.
The DOH noted that
“teenage

NGCP’s customers and
the general public are
advised to take the necessary

NGCP added.
In Tarlac, TEI said
its customers in Balibago I and II, Salapungan
and Tariji will experience
power interruption from
7N15 a.m. to `12 noon
also on May 30.
“Outage is due to the

adding that “unwanted
pregnancies may lead to

The report also cited
that in Central Luzon, 40
out of 100 children aged
from six months to five
years have Vitamin A
deficiency, while an average of 37 out of 100
pregnant and lactating
mothers have iron deficiency anemia.
To curb these health
problems, the DOH in
Central Luzon said it has
primary lines in Salapungan and Balibago II area,”
TEI explained. In Barangay Calingcuan, however, the power outage
would start at 8 a.m. but
also last up to 12 noon.
“We will replace three

as a “doormat” to the Ninoy Aquino International
Airport (NAIA) in Manila,
then we must prepare for
its negative effects.
The PGKM said it
agrees with the lamentable observation that the
Clark International Airport (CIA) serves as a
doormat to the NAIA because airlines waiting for
seat entitlements to the
latter wait it out at the former then leave as soon
as they acquire the entitlements.
Cruz accused the Department of Transportation and Communica-
tions (DOTC) and the
Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) of allowing such practice and
doing nothing to stop it.
He said Transportation and Communications Secretary Joseph
Emilio Abaya has set his
sights at an ambitious
international airport in
Sangley Point that could
replace NAIA and intentionally puts CIA in the
backburner.
The promise of these
government agencies to
Clark investors for the
full and immediate development of the CIA
has not been made after
more than two decades
and five years of the
Aquino administration,
he said.
Cruz said the PGKM
and all other Clark stakeholders are still waiting
for a solid policy direction from the Aquino administration on the Clark
airport.
As a result, flights at
CIA are down to a low of
about 13 flights per day
now from its peak of 40,
Cruz noted.
The slow paced development of the CIA
has resulted in lackluster
investor confidence as
seen in numerous speculators in Clark disguised
as investors, he said.

If the trend continues,
even Koreans would be
forced to look for greener pastures and leave
Clark, he pointed out.
At present, Cruz said
there are about 100 Korean restaurants in and
around the Clark Freeport which report of sluggish business averaging
only two tables daily.
If the sluggish business trend impacts on

has lowered the minimum bid price for the

68 percent lower than

The lower floor price
was one of the amendments to the original

BCDA declared a failed

as infusing more investments to implement nutrition plans.
The DOH is also

In the Matter for petition for
adoption and change of name
of John Michael Calupe to
Jacob Olen Dela Cruz Crowe,
Sp. Proc. Case No. R-ANG-15-00478-SP
Sps. Olen Crowe and
Arlene Dela Cruz Crowe,
Petitioners,
x--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------x
Order
The petitioners’ “Amended Petition” dated May 6, 2015 is hereby
ADMITTED.
In the verified Amended Petition for the Adoption of Minor John Michael
Calupe, the material allegations are as follows:
Petitioners-spouses Olen Crowe and Arlene Dela Cruz Crowe are both
of legal age, American and Filipino citizens, respectively, and residents of Lot
1, Block 1, Timog Park Homes, Barangay Pampang, Angeles City. They are
husband and wife; out of their marriage, they did not begot a child of their own.
Petitioner-husband has been living in the Philippines for the past six (6) years
and has already made Philippines his home.
Prospective adoptee John Michael Calupe was born on May 1, 2014
in Angeles City. His biological mother, Mary Ann Osman Calupe, executed
an Affidavit of Intent and Consent wherein she declared her absolute and
irrevocable consent to the adoption of John Michael Calupe by the petitioners.
The petitioners have expressed their desire to adopt said minor and to
consider the latter as their natural child; and they executed an affidavit on
their capability to support the minor. Petitioner-husband is financially stable
to support the minor. The petitioners are in full possession of their civil rights
and have never been convicted of any offense involving moral turpitude in the
Philippines or abroad; they are psychologically fit to adopt; and are of good
moral character and emotionally capable of taking care of the prospective
adoptee. Petitioners have attended pre-adoption counseling conducted by
SWOII Zenaida C. David. They are of good moral character, citizens of good
standing, legally qualified to adopt, and suffer no disqualification under the law.
Minor John Michael Calupe is physically healthy to be adopted.
Petitioners-spouses are physically and mentally fit to adopt the minor child. The
change of name of John Michael Calupe is prayed for as it has always been the
petitioners’ dream of naming their child as if he is their natural born child that
is, he will have petitioner-husband’s given name as part of his given name and
petitioner-wife’s maiden surname as his middle name.
Petitioner-husband’s country, the United States of America, has diplomatic
relations with the Republic of the Philippines; his embassy wrote him a letter
dated April 27, 2015 in reply to his request for clarification of legal capacity
to adopt. In the letter, it is stated that the U.S. Embassy is unable to issue a
Certification of Legal Capacity to adopt. The letter further states that petitionerhusband should execute an affidavit stating that he meets all the requirements
as outlined in Republic Act No. 8552. The adoption of John Michael Calupe will
be for his best interest and well-being.
Petitioners pray that after due notice, publication and hearing, a decree
of adoption be issued adjudging John Michael Calupe freed from all legal
obligations of obedience and maintenance with respect to his biological mother
and unknown natural father; declaring John Michael Calupe, for all legal intents
and purposes, the child of the petitioners and that his name be changed to
Jacob Olen Dela Cruz Crowe; and ordering the Office of the City Civil
Registrar of Angeles City and the Office of the Civil Registry General to make
the necessary correction in the birth records of the adoptee to the effect that
the adoptee is the child of the petitioners. Other just and equitable reliefs are
also prayed for.
The court finds the Amended Petition sufficient in form and substance
and therefore sets it for hearing on August 27, 2015 at 9:00 o’clock in the
morning, on which date and hour any person who may have interest in or may
be affected by the Amended Petition is ordered to appear and signify his/her
opposition thereto and show cause why it should not be granted.
Let this Order be published once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks
in “Punto Central Luzon”, a newspaper of general circulation in the Province
of Pampanga and Angeles City, which was selected by raffle under the
supervision of the Executive Judge, at the expense of the petitioners.
Serve copies of this Order upon the Office of the Solicitor General; Office
of the City Prosecutor of Angeles City; petitioners and their counsel; Department
of Social Welfare and Development; National Statistic Office, Civil Registrar
General; Local Civil Registrar of Angeles City; SWOII Zenaida C. David; the
minor’s biological mother; and “Punto Central Luzon”.
So Ordered.

Lucky charm nina Marian at Dingdong
MARIAN Rivera says the baby in her womb is such a lucky charm. Although she’s not able to do “The Rich Man’s Daughter”, she continues to gain more income
through her endorsements. After launching Dr. Vicki Belo’s collagen drink in Trinoma, she was launched as the new endorser of Mario D’Boro shoes for women. Then,
both she and husband Dingdong Dantes are the endorsers of Del Monte Quick and Easy. Now, she just renewed her contract as endorser of Maxi-peel.
“I really have so much to be thankful for,” she says. “Nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa Panginoon na hindi kami naghintay nang matagal. Hindi kasi lahat ng gustong
magkaanak agad, nabibiyayaan, pero sa kaso namin, ibinigay agad kaya very thankful kami ni Dong na bago pa namin idaos ang aming first wedding anniversary,
magkaka-baby na kami. At na-realize kong hindi talaga biro ang magbuntis at maging isang ina. Minsan, nahihilo ako, nasusuka, hindi ako makakain. Pero sabi ko
nga, kahit ano, titiisin ko, kakayanin ko as long as para sa anak ko. Excited na kaming malaman ang gender, pero babae man siya o lalaki, masaya kami at lagi lang
naming pinapanalangin na maging healthy and normal siya.”
Does she still get jealous? “Puwede ba, asawa ko na siya’t nabuntis na ko’t lahat-lahat, manganganak na ako sa November, may selosan pa ba? Napakabait ng
asawa ko. Ipinagluluto pa ako ng oatmeal sa umaga.”
Maxi-peel Exfioliant Solution brand manager Natasha Leon says Marian is the perfect endorser for their Bagong Ganda, Bagong Pag-asa campaign that
relaunched their product. “It was introduced in 2001 as the Kutis Artista look but competition came and it has lost its edge
so we re-introduced it as the brand that addresses the skin care needs of a Filipina, offering new hope to boost
their confidence. The testimony in social media of real users about skin renewal with Marian as endorser really
did well.”
“I’ve been with Maxi-peel for 8 years now,” says Marian. “I use their toner and sunblock a lot. Maarte
talaga ako pagdating sa skin care kasi bilang artista, we have to protect our looks. I’m glad kinuha pa rin
nila akong endorser kahit buntis na ako.”
Pops Fernandez nagsusugal
SUSUGALAN ni Pops Fernandez ang mga anak ng music icons sa concert na The Next
Attraction na gagawin sa July 4 sa Music Museum.
Tampok dito sina Paolo Valenciano, Robin Nievera, Isabella at Karylle Yuzon. Ayaw sanang
umeksena pa ni Pops sa presscon ng concert sa Jet7 Bistro, pero sinagot naman niya ang
tanong ng press.
Biro nga niya, “Ay, huwag na ako!” Pero pinagbigyan naman niya ang tanong tungkol sa
feeling niya sa pagtulong sa mga anak ng music icons.
Itinanggi ni Pops na stage mother siya kay Robin. “Isa akong stage producer! Hahaha!”
sey niya.
“Proud ako because I practically saw them when they were kids. So, sila talaga
’yung tinatawag na ‘Next Attractions.’ Siyempre, we have to love our own, hahaha!
“So far, sobrang behaved silang apat. Magulo lang when they are together. I
think that’s the fun of it all and that’s the reason why we are putting the show
together to really show their chemistry together, ’di ba?
“Sila ang magmi-meet together. Hindi ako nakikialam. Malalaki na sila. Kaya
na nila ’yon. Walang brats sa mga batang ito, budget lang ako, hahaha!”
pahayag ni Pops.
Matagal na raw ang suggestion kay Pops na pagsamahin ang apat. Ngayon
lang niya naramdaman na ngayon na ang oras niya.
Si Paolo ang magiging director ng concert na ang feeling ay magaan
kumpara sa pagdidirek sa concert ng ama niyang si Gary V.
Ang sponsors ng show ay Glutamax, Nice Day Coffee at Jet7 Bistro.
Hindi maiwasang umiyak sina Ruffa Gutierrez at Tita Annabelle
Rama nang tanungin ang away nilang dalawa. Open book na against
si Tita Anabelle sa kasalukuyang boyfriend ni Ruffa na si Jordan Mouyal.
Buong ningning na sinasabi ni Tita Annabelle na hindi pa niya mapapatawad si
Ruffa at ‘plastic’ diumano ito. Pero hindi naman tumitigil si Ruffa na bumeso sa ina kapag
nagkikita sila. Dahil siya ang anak, siya naman ang lumalapit. Panahon nga lang ang
makakapagsabi kung kailan sila magkakabati.
“Ayaw kong isipin ng mga tao na napaka-arte ko naman, hindi ko binabati. Gusto
ninyong malaman ang buong reason kung bakit hindi ko siya mapapatawad? Panoorin
ninyo Season 3 ng aming show na ‘It Takes Gutz To Be A Gutierrez’. Doon ninyo malalaman
na tama ako,” bulalas ni Tita Annabelle nang makapanayam.
Kahit si Tito Eddie Guitierrez ay wala nang kinakampihan sa mag-ina niya. Kapag si Ruffa
raw ang kinakampihan niya dati, ang ending sila ni Annabelle ang nag-aaway. Pero ngayon wala
raw siyang kinakampihan dahil pareho silang tama. Si Anabelle ay nandiyan para proteksyunan
ang anak at gusto lang nito ang the best para kay Ruffa. Ang aktres naman ay may sarili ng pagiisip at buhay at kailangang mag-enjoy rin ito.
“Hindi ka naman mabubuhay sa enjoyment,” palag naman ni Tita Annabelle.
Kahit sa show na ‘It takes Guts To Be A Gutierrez,’ ay hindi dumarating si Tita Annabelle sa
mga event ni Ruffa dahil ayaw niyang scripted ang pagbabati nila. Kahit utos pa yun ng director
nila. “Ayaw ko siyang batiin dahil lang sa show. Hindi ko pa siya mapapatawad ngayon. Lahat
ng imbitasyon nila sa akin, hindi talaga ko uma-attend talaga, sila-sila na lang. Umattend ako sa
presscon dahil importante sa akin ito, kasi lahat ng mga press na nandito ngayon ay mga kaibigan
ko. Hindi ako puwedeng mag-absent dito,” bulalas pa niya.
Anyway, babalik sa July ang Season 3 ng ‘It Takes Gutz To Be A Gutierrez’ sa July sa E! channel.
Ang first season at second season ng show ay magsisimula namang mapanood sa TFC (The
Filipino Channel) at Lifestyle Network ngayong June 6. Buong mundo na ang makakapanood
ng naturang show. Tinagurian silang ‘Royal Family of Philippine Showbusiness.’
Marian ayaw na munang magpa-sexy
TULUYAN nang sumuko si Marian Rivera sa laban para sa FHM 100 Sexiest Women dahil sa
kanyang kalagayan. Bagama’t pumapalo pa rin ang boto niya sa online poll ay nagpahayag
ang GMA Primetime Queen na ‘wag muna gaya ng desisyon din ng Triple A (nagma-manage
sa kanya).
Ini-endorse na lang niya ang kanyang kapatid sa Triple A na si Andrea Torres. Ito ang napipisil
niyang pwedeng humalili sa kanyang titulo pagdating sa kaseksihan. Nagustuhan daw niya ang cover
ni Andrea sa nasabing men’s mag. Mapangahas at super sexy.
“Ayun! ‘Yun (Andrea) na lang iboto nila. Kapatid ko ‘yun, e,” sey niya
“Mahiya naman ako sa asawa ko. Buntis pa ako. So, huwag na muna,” deklara pa niya na pinanindigan
na pass muna siya sa FHM.
Nilinaw rin ni Yan ang isyu na hindi siya friendly sa nakaraang pictorial niya sa FHM. Hindi raw ito makausap
dahil nagco-concentrate sa kanyang second cover shoot.
Sobrang kinabahan daw kasi si Marian sa concept ng pictorial na mas daring kumpara rati.
“Parang sa sarili ko, sa bawat aksyon na gagawin ko, at sa bawat pagpo-pose ko, gusto ko maging presentable
pa rin kahit sexy siya. So, naka-focus talaga ako dun,” bulalas pa niya sa presscon ng PEP list Year 2.
Anyway, wagi si Marian at ang mister niyang si Dingdong Dantes bilang Newsmaker of the Year sa PEP List.
Ang awards night ay magaganap sa June 18, Thursday, at the Grand Ballroom of Solaire Resort and Casino.
