Shameless Plugs: ABC-5’s “Dokyu” Now a Student Competition
(from a write-up by Jocelyn Dimaculangan)
After a brief hiatus, ABC-5 News & Public Affairs launches a brand new season of its landmark program Dokyu this May.
This TV program has been highly acclaimed for providing start-up incentives as well as an exhibition platform for independent documentary filmmakers, both professionals and amateurs/students.
For its brand new season, there will be a lot of changes starting with the concept of the show. Dokyu will now be a competition program, with different levels or categories. For the first season, the competition will be in the student category, and will be similar to the Gawad Cultural Center of the Philippines, Urian and Catholic Mass Media Awards. The winning documentary will receive a tax-free cash prize of P50,000 and a trophy.
Landian Blues
“Maruja, ang landi mo,” sey ni Svelte.
“Hindi noh!”
Break time naming dalawa. Dahil taghirap ang lola mo (daming binayad na bills…CASH mind you), napilitan aketch gumamit ng gift certificate para makabaysung ng malalafang. At dahil P100 worth of 7-11 goods ang kailangang gastusin, medyo marami rin ang nasa plastic bag after kong magbayad. Instant noodle, isang tsitsirya, at dalawang magkaibang green tea.
“How’s the shopping spree, Mare,” tanong ni Svelte na nag-aabang sa akin sa table. Nakapatong na ang kanyang baon.
“It’s splendid,” sagot ko.
After kong lagyan ng hot water ang instant noodle cup, nagsimula na ang chikahan at landian.

How it combats cancer: Grapefruits, like oranges and other citrus fruits, contain monoterpenes, believed to help prevent cancer by sweeping carcinogens out of the body.

Philippine Idol Updates: Waiting for Season 2
While we are confirming reports that Season 2 of Philippine Idol may not be held this year, let’s reminisce the good times when we were watching on TV the best talent show that ever existed. No other big-shot networks can pull off what Philippine Idol has accomplished.
So yeah, continue idolizing your “amateur acoustic singer” who almost had her career squashed because of misbehavior. Continue praising your balladeer who could only sing four Tagalog ballads (anything else is just “soul-less”).
Arrogance In The Midst Of Triumph?
Like every patriotic citizen, am awaiting every update on the national and local canvassing of votes. Hoping this election will yield value adding results. Am interested not only of those who will barge into the magic 12, equally important is the “attitude†of the early leaders, tail enders and their supporters.These news articles from Inquirer.net caught my attention:
- GO spokesman in early celebration over looming win for bets
- GO spokesman loses cool in run-in with reporters

Are drop boxes the answer to abortion?
There is a new system that opened in a Tokyo hospital called “Stork’s Cradleâ€. This Catholic run hospital set up drop-boxes in the hopes of discouraging parents to abandon their children in parks, and other public places that are potentially harmful to them.
This drop-box system allows anyone to drop off their children to an incubator through a small hatch and it was opened 24 hours a day. The purpose is to receive newborn children.
Although the goal was to discourage abortion, one cannot help but think that on the other hand it might trigger an influx of child abandonment. I cant help but think it might be construed as an easy way out rather than as a last resort.

after the elections, what now?? » in retrospect…
now that the election fever is over, all stupid election commercials done away with, and all promises will remain just that, promises, where to now, Pinoy?? do we have a party for our winners?? do we bring out all our best suits and dresses and hold a ball?? or do we clean up after them, tearing down and scraping all their campaign posters posted all over?? and will something better happen now?? can we expect changes in our government now that we have put into position all of those we thought capable??
unless something astounding and freakish happens to our senators and congressmen and mayors, the same things will happen over and over again… and by the same things, i mean:
