Warning to All Tourists Travelling with Kids

FP was sent a story of how a mother lost her two kids while in an amusement park in Hong Kong recently.

“The mother left her two kids to go to the washroom alone while she waited for them outside. When she realized that the kids seemed to be taking a long time, she went inside to look for them but the kids were not in the washroom anymore. The parents went to the police afterwards and the police told them that it is highly likely that they will never see their kids again.

There is a syndicate in HK abducting kids in the washroom. They would let the kids smell something that would make them unconscious. Then they will shave their heads, put a cap on them, and change their clothes. When, the kids are brought out of the washroom, the parents would not notice them."

This story is not uncommon in the place as documented in some sites. Some kids are kidnapped and sold, while others are made into beggars. The syndicate does not discriminate; hence tourists with kids are also at risk. The lesson here is that parents or guardians should never leave their kids alone even for a second in any place on the island.

Here is a link that documents some of these incidents:

Reporting a Coverage

Lately, this news personality (NP) has been spotted quite often in a gay club with his gay friends. In fact, he seems to be quite friendly while clubbing. One time, someone (S) approached him and asked if he were ---. NP smiled and even shook hands with S. Little did NP know that S knows about the steamy thing he (NP) did with a friend of S in a gym near the news base.

More Questions Than Answers

How true is the buzz that balikbayan celebrity (C) was indeed paid a very substantial interview fee by a network? The original network, which wanted to interview C, turned down the idea when C asked for almost a million. By this time, more questions were generated by the interview of C.

First, the publicity said the male host will be conducting the interview. It turned out that a guest female host (FH) did the interview. Did the brother of C have a hand in this? The other hosts were disappointed that FH conducted the interview even if she was just a guest host during the show. Second, why was the interview geared towards an interest as to whether C had completed the reassignment? At least, C was smart enough to say that whatever is in between the legs is a private matter.

If you watched the interview over the weekend, do you think the interview of C was worth it or did it smell of gimmickry for the survival of the show?

Letter from a Reader: Repeatedly Ignored

Image courtesy of www.badideatshirts.com 

Dear FP,

I've been using my prepaid number since 1999. I've kept this number because it's easy to memorize. Even if my family and friends have changed their mobile numbers many times, they still know my number by heart. But with the disappointing turn of events lately, I'm starting to have a change of mind.

My dilemma started last week of February. I was in the NAIA Airport last February 25 for my flight to New York. I registered for international roaming and got a confirmation. When I arrived in the US, my phone could not pick up any signal. I've been trying to do manual signal connection for days but to no avail. So I tweeted the customer service to raise my concern and they were able to address my issue and connected me to international roaming.

I came back March 12, 11 PM. Upon arriving in Manila, I deactivated my international roaming. I got a confirmation from that it was deactivated. Then, I immediately registered to avail of the one week free calls and text. The response says they cannot accomodate my request and I have to check this certain plan that is for postpaid account.

March 13. I tried connecting the whole day but still the same response. I called the hotline for support but told me just to try it again and again because the current promo might have high volume of users. I also tweeted the customer service and sent them a DM but got no response.

March 14. I got a reply from the customer after 25 hours. I gave my mobile number and they told me that I will be given feedback within 24 hours. I called the hotline again and they told me that a report was submitted for my concern.

March 15. I tweeted the customer service. My tweets were ignored. I called the hotline and told me that their maximum time for resolution is 2 days.

March 16. I tweeted the customer service but still ignored. I called the hotline and told me that they will escalate my issue to their supervisor to prioritize my issue.

March 17. I tweeted and sent a DM to the customer service but my tweets and DMs were ignored. Called the hotline and still no feedback on my issue from their support team. Promised to escalate the issue.

March 18. Tweet and DM ignored by the customer service. Agent from hotline still promised to prioritize my issue.

It's so frustrating that they have been ignoring my tweets and DM. I just hate that they say they will resolve the issue within 2 days but never even gave me a feedback. The least they could do is to acknowledge or give a few words about the issue. I may be a prepaid user but I have been using this for 13 years already.

Thanks FP.

Yours,
J. Rivera

The Confession That Will Never Be Heard

Recently, media personality (MP) staged a public proposal to his new girlfriend. His followers were surprised as they were more familiar with his long-term relationship with another woman. While MP and the bride to be are happy with the engagement, there is a sad story behind this. In the course of their relationship, he got her pregnant but the would-have-been first child was never born. The reason was that she was still young and studying then.

MP gained fame for giving advice to his listeners and confessions of his listeners. He did some appearances in other media but his followers could not generate the needed ratings to sustain a daily show.

Do you know who MP is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

GMA Network's Response to PFF Statement About Arnold Clavio

Below is the official response from GMA Network to the statement of the Philippine Football Federation about Arnold Clavio:


Kamakailan, inireklamo ng sexual harassment ang dalawang miyembro ng Philippine Azkals ni dating Philippine Olympic Committee President Cristy Ramos, anak ni dating Pangulong Ramos.

Nitong Martes, napag-usapan po sa Unang Hirit ang sexual harassment complaint ni Cristy Ramos laban sa dalawang miyembro ng Azkals kung saan nagbigay ang ilang hosts ng kani-kanilang opinyon.

Kahapon, nakatanggap ang GMA Network ng liham mula sa Philippine Football Federation o PFF kung saan inireklamo ang mga komentaryo nina Arnold Clavio at Rhea Santos sa kanilang programa.

Nais po linawin ng GMA Network na ang mga inirereklamong pahayag ay hindi bahagi ng aming news reporting kung saan tanging mga statement of facts ang ibinabalita at kung saan walang puwang ang pagbibigay ng opinyon ng mga host. Ang mga inireklamong pahayag ay unscripted discussion ng Unang Hirit hosts sa commentary segment ng programa kung saan sila ay nagpalitan ng opinyon at nagbigay ng kani-kanilang pananaw tungkol sa naturang issue.

Nalulungkot po ang GMA Network na iba ang naging intindi ng Philippine Football Federation sa mga sinabi ni Arnold. Ang pinapatungkulan ni Arnold ay hindi kung Filipino citizen o kung may lahing Pilipino ang mga Azkals kundi kung naisapuso at naisaisip ba nila ang kulturang Pinoy.

Ang issue na tinalakay sa Unang Hirit ay sexual harassment—isang mahalagang issue kung saan matindi ang paninindigan ng mga host. Meron pong karapatan sina Arnold, Rhea at iba pang host na ihayag ang kanilang opinyon, isang karapatang pinoprotektahan ng ating Saligang Batas. Sang-ayon man kami o hindi sa kanilang opinyon, ang karapatan nilang ihayag ito ay kinikilala ng GMA Network tulad ng aming pagrespeto sa karapatan ng publiko at maging ng PFF na maghayag ng kanilang opinyon—basta ang nasabing opinyon ay hindi labag sa batas.

Sa liham ng Philippine Football Federation, sinabi nilang racist, discriminatory, libelous at malicious ang mga pahayag nina Arnold Clavio at Rhea Santos. Pero ang GMA Network po, walang nakitang racist, walang discriminatory, walang libelous at walang malicious sa mga komentaryo nina Arnold at Rhea.

Official statement of Arnold Clavio on the Azkals issue:

GMA News anchor Arnold Clavio responds to criticisms about the recent remarks he made about the sexual harassment case currently faced by some members of the Philippine Azkals:

Mga igan, nakakalungkot na may negatibong reaksyon ang naging pahayag ko tungkol sa Philippine Azkals kaugnay ng sexual harassment complaint ni Ms. Cristy Ramos. Wala po akong ganoong intensyon. Ang isyu po rito ay sexual harassment at kung may nagamit man po akong mga salita na hindi angkop, nagpapakumbaba po ako at humihingi ng pang-unawa. Dun naman po sa mga kasama kong nanindigan laban sa sexual harassment, maraming salamat po. Seryoso pong isyu ito na dapat bantayan.

-Arnold Clavio

Getting Attention

Image Courtesy of www.cartoonstock.com 

One of the networks chose to build up this young performer (P) as its prime star. P was given the lead in highly-publicized TV projects with the best casts the network can afford. Even if P had drama assignments, she still did comedy and hosting jobs for the network. Even if her shows did not do well, P still kept her privileged position. She felt she was the princess of the network and she behaved like one.

Other than the “princess” attitude getting into her head, P has a reputation of seeking attention and wanting to be the center of events. If she does not like who she’s working with, P makes it a point to let that person feel her discomfort. For instance, a staff was handing her an invitation. While the staff stood in front of her, she asked a barrage of questions, such as if she really needed that invitation for her entry to the event. In the end, P embarrassed the staff, whose job was merely to deliver the invitation.

While working on a soap, P often arrived late on the set. When asked why she was late, she said rudely that she went to a coffee shop first. Then, she would take her time before stepping out of her car as she still had to put on make-up. The lack of professionalism on P’s part did not escape the attention of a respected actress (RA), who played a significant role in the said soap. What infuriated RA was the fact that P made them wait for two hours on the set. RA gave P a mouthful and ranted that she (P) was just a newcomer who had no right to make anyone wait and that she should learn respect. The incident with RA rattled P to a point that she was uncomfortable on the set. Worse, she wanted her character to be killed off, which was quite impossible because she was playing the lead role.

Do you know who P and RA are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Open for Booking

This muscled model turned occasional actor (MM) has a sideline. MM is available for bookings for US$400. The catch is – he does it in the US. In Manila, MM models and appears in TV and movies. In print or onramp, he is a favorite model for underwear. He has acted in a couple of movies and appeared in a reality show, among others. MM hardly has promo pictures showing him fully clothed (except when he was part of a wholesome fantasy teleserye).
