Calling a Spade a Spade

It has now become common knowledge that the unstoppable CM for all her sweet and wholesome onscreen persona is not one to take things lightly in defense of her loved ones. It is never a fiction when we hear of CM taking the bullet for them when push comes to shove – anytime, anywhere.
Not too long ago when CD got embroiled in a controversial love affair, CM's overheated temper was put to a test once more as she did not mince words in lambasting the people she believed caused her CD so much pain and heartaches. At that time, CM didn’t care for the consequences of her actions as long as she believed people paid for the injustice done to CD.
In the final run 'though, CM paid dearly for it.
Of late, CD has been visibly active socially, getting spotted elsewhere having dates with desirable guys in town, which she would downsize as just harmless, friendly dates. Expectedly, malicious talks point otherwise, saying that those dates were beyond friendship, especially that one she had with Heartthrob Actor HA.
During a mini media event in one Network NE, CM was asked about her take on HA's revealing his feelings for CD which media had been feasting on for days. CM was quite relaxed in her answer but pointedly told the reporter that HA was definitely okay with her for CD. But her last statement somewhat caught everyone off-guard when she said, "At least HA does not look like he is out to use a woman to look like a man."

Netizens Blame Ariella Arida's Loss on Gown, Want Pinoy Designer to Clothe Ms. PH Next Year

Given that Ariella Arida was considered a frontrunner on pageant night and actually aced the question-and-answer portion that many had feared she would have difficulty with, many are still wondering and analyzing why Miss Philippines still fell short of winning Miss Universe in Moscow on Saturday (early Sunday, Manila time).
It seems like the blame now goes to her choice of gowns in the competition. From the national costume terno to the yellow evening gown that she wore during the preliminary competitions and the coronation night, feedback was mostly unflattering and even downright harsh.
While praise was largely universal for the way Arida carried her gowns, both the national costume and the evening wear themselves were far from well-received, especially given that the other contestants also did a good job of carrying what many considered to be better-designed gowns.
“During the Miss Universe national costume show, Miss Philippines disappointed fans for her traditional terno dress. Even her yellow, off shoulder evening gown was not impressive enough,” posted the Dubai-based Emirates 24/7 in a post-pageant report.
Aside from those two dresses, the blue gown that Arida wore on her official pre-arrival photos posted in the Miss Universe website did not escape flak as well.

As it turns out, Alfredo Barraza, the Colombian designer who designed Arida’s gowns, has been drawing harsh criticism for his creations for Philippine representatives to Miss Universe for many years.
In a 2011 article posted by Missosology.org, a reputable site specializing in analyzing beauty pageants, Barraza was described as “the most hated man in the Philippines”.
“Year in and year out Alfredo Barraza has disappointed Filipino pageant fanatics. Critics have been extremely harsh on this Colombian designer, a very close friend of Stella Marquez Araneta, Binibining Pilipinas’ pageant madame.
“Alfredo Barraza has been blamed for sabatoging Miss Philippines candidates with his lackluster evening gown designs sometimes deemed by Filipinos as “THE BASURA CUMBIA” creations. To add insult to injury, Mr. Barraza also designs for the reinas de Colombia (pageant queens). And when he designs for Miss Universe Colombia, the gowns are always superior to that of his Miss Universe Philippines!” the site posted.
After Arida’s loss, the clamor to have a Filipino designer take over in designing the gowns for the country’s Miss Universe representative has been renewed, this time by a good number of social media netizens who have also aired their displeasure over what many of them believe are the Binibining Pilipinas organizers’ choice of wear for Miss Philippines.

Downright Unprofessional

How much does it take to be professional in one's dealings? How much does it cost to keep one's dignity intact?
A Media Scion MS of a big media company had a big wedding recently that was attended by hundreds of guests, notably from business, showbiz and politics.
Several months before the ocassion, MS and Wedding Coordinator WC were into rigid planning to make sure that there would be no room for mistakes. Owing to the size of the event, MS with WC made no stones unturned, down to the minutest details to achieve everything as close to perfect as possible. And why not, it was to be the wedding of a very special member of the family.
As such, MS and WC chose only the best quality and dependable suppliers to be part of the event, from the choice of the venue to the flowers, on to the food and the wine. For the musical entertainment, there were many considerations and referrals given, but MS and WC zeroed in on one that was touted to be one of the best in the industry, an eccentric and a Multi-Awarded Band MB , no less.
Came the wedding day. It was grand in all aspects, with the presence of the country's major movers and influencers. Every essential element of the ocassion was well-executed and went as planned. The occasion would have been perfect were it not for MB band who was tasked to provide the musical entertainment.
Generally in most weddings, the band starts to play towards the 3rd or 4th quarter of the program. Usually this is towards the end of the 6th course (aka desert and coffee time), often while the bride and groom start table-hopping for picture-taking with the guests.
At MS wedding, this did not happen. Why? Because the group of MB came in late - so painfully and shamelessly late.
As such, MB was not able to make due preparations for their numbers. For 30 minutes of they arrival, they were still doing sound check when some guests have already started leaving the reception. Family members of the couple and some guests were seen looking at MB with eyebrows raised, obviously annoyed for their major faux pas that spoiled the ocassion in a big way.
The very stressed WC was at a loss for words and profused with apologies to the couple and their families. What's worse, WC was aghast at the attitude of MB, looking unapologetic, without guilt and remorse at the extent of their unprofessionalism.
Turned out, it was not to be the worst. Since MB would be paid anyway inspite of, WC told them to perform since there were still some remaining guests to entertain. MB told WC that they wouldn't play unless WC issued them car pass! According to them, since they came in late, they parked somewhere else, away from where the venue was. Feeling entitled, MB minced no words that unless they were issued gatepass, they would not perform. They had the nerve to use a gatepass to blackmail a client? What kind of argument was that?
That was the height of it all - being face to face with a nightmare of a supposedly multi-awarded band. Paid in full despite their major faux pas, coupled with barbaric attitude unparalled in civilized society. You think they got brownie points for that?
Such gross unprofessionalism completely demolished whatever arguments they had.

Janet Napoles Unfazed by Sen. Miriam Santiago
Source: www.inquirer.net
The three senators implicated into the scam were Senate Minority Leader Juan Ponce-Enrile, Senators Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada and Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr.
During the Senate blue ribbon committee hearing Thursday, Napoles invoked her right against self-incrimination when Santiago asked if Enrile was the one being referred to as “tanda” in the previous hearings of the Senate committee.
When asked again by Santiago if Estrada was the one referred to as the “sexy” senator, Napoles said: “Hindi ko po alam (I don’t know).”
“Anong hindi mo alam. Alam mo e (What do you mean you don’t know? You know),” Santiago said, adding that Napoles should have just invoked her right against self-incrimination.
So Napoles invoked such right again when Santiago repeated the question and to another question if Revilla was the one being referred to as “pogi.”
“E di bilisan natin, puro ka pala I invoke my right… “ Santiago added.
But Napoles’ invocation of such right did not sit well with the lady senator when Napoles used it again to the question whom she had been talking to about the plunder case filed against her at the Office of the Ombudsman.
“I invoke my right against self-incrimination,’’ Napoles said.
“Sino lang kausap mo , I invoke my right? Aaah..” said Santiago, who was apparently getting impatient with Napoles.
