A Quiet Rejection

Gracing the cover and the pages of this men’s magazine brings prestige to the females who have agreed to show off their bodies. For some models and actresses who are just starting out, a feature in this magazine usually generates interest in their budding careers. Moreover, when seasoned actresses are highlighted in this magazine, curiosity and loyalty increase the magazine’s circulation. Hence, this magazine is always on a lookout for possible subjects who can be featured in their pages.

When pictures of a singer actress (SA) showed her having a fuller body, netizens noticed that she had some enhancements in her frontal features. This new asset was not something shocking, as SA has been known to have undergone several enhancements to improve her looks. SA allegedly decided to have the enhancement as her birthday gift.

To celebrate her new look, the camp of SA thought it would be a good idea to have her featured in the men’s magazine. The men’s magazine agreed to have some test shots to see if SA can meet the standards. After the team reviewed the test shoots, they decided not to pursue the feature on SA. According to them, despite the bigger assets of SA as well as her new set of teeth, SA just does not have the sex appeal, which is vital to all the females featured in the men’s magazine.

Perhaps a feature in this men’s magazine could have stirred renewed interest in the career of SA. After all, reinventing the image of a performer is key to remaining in showbusiness. While SA is seen in one show in her network, there is no news if she will be starring in another movie or a sitcom. Her launching movie was not a blockbuster, and thus, she had to play supporting roles after. Although, her sitcom was not well received, it lasted for a few months, and critics felt SA lacked acting skills.

With the lack of interest of the men’s magazine, will the camp of SA approach another men’s magazine? More importantly, will fans appreciate the sexy image that SA is slowly moving into?

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am. -Elle Macpherson

Father of Girl Who Suffered Burns in Flight Eyes Suit vs Airliner

The father of a six-year-old girl who sustained first-degree burns after a Cebu Pacific flight attendant accidentally poured hot water on her arm is considering filing charges against the employee and her company.

“I will be filing a negligence case dun sa (against the) flight attendant,” Ryan Rey Quilala told INQUIRER.net on Sunday.

Quilala, who works as a prosecutor for the Office of the Ombudsman, said he will also file a claim for damages against Cebu Pacific for the “anxiety” and “trauma” their family experienced during the incident last May 27 while they were on flight 5J 8974 from Davao City to Manila.

The lawyer said the flight attendant not only spilled “steaming hot water” on the right arm of her daughter Reanne but also did not know how to apply first aid.

Quilala said the flight attendant “simply asked for an apology instead of immediately administering first aid treatment” as his daughter cried in pain.

“Had it not for the request of my wife for any medication the entire flight crew will just watch in vain,” he said.

He claimed that the flight crew was not properly trained and equipped to handle emergency situations.

“Di ba, ang first aid treatment ay running water? Ang ginawa nya linagyan nya kaagad ng plastic bag. Hindi pa iyong ice bag…plastic talaga na puno ng ice. In-apply nya directly sa skin ng anak ko,” he said.

(Isn’t it that first aid treatment for burns is running water? What she did is she took a plastic bag. Not an ice bag…but a plastic bag filled with ice. She applied it directly to my daughter’s arm.)

Quilala said they had to stop the flight attendant because it was “erroneous” for her to do so. He said they instead used the child’s towel to wrap the ice.

According to the World Health Organization, ice should not be directly applied on burns because “it deepens the injury.”

The lawyer said they also asked for a burn ointment, which was handed to them after 20 minutes.

“Yung burn ointment na dinala pa nila in Deutsche. Sabi ko paano ko malalaman kung pang-burn? Tinignan pa namin yung box for English translation. Tsaka lang nya chineck kung expired,” he added.

(The inscription on the burn ointment they gave us was in Deutsche. I asked them how will we know if it is indeed for burns. We had to check the box for the English translation. And it was only then that they checked if it was expired.)

He pointed out that such medication should always be readily available since flight attendants regularly serve hot beverages and food.

After verifying that it wasn’t expired, they applied the ointment on the child’s skin. When they got home, they had the family doctor attend to Reanne. The doctor confirmed that it was a first degree burn.

No response

Amid handing over a handwritten complaint to Cebu Pacific, Quilala said they have yet to receive an acknowledgement from the company.

“Sabi nung senior flight attendant nila mag-iemail sa akin the next day so I gave them enough time. Wednesday, Thursday, hindi nakipag-communicate sa akin so Friday I decided susulat na ako sa Cebu Pacific,” Quilala said.

(The senior flight attendant assured me that they will e-mail the next day so I gave them enough time. Wednesday and Thursday came and they have yet to communicate with me so I decided to send a letter on Friday.)

A copy of the letter was also sent to the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.

“In view of your seeming indifference to this incident please be advised that I will pursue all means and legal actions to protect the rights of my daughter and that of my family under Section 15 of the DOTC-DTI Joint Administrative Order No. 01 (Series of 2012), Articles 1170, 2217, 2219(2), 2221 and 2229 of the New Civil Code, and other pertinent laws, rules and regulations,” Quilala said in the letter.

He said he never wanted media attention but after a television network saw his Facebook post, he decided that he “might as well tell the truth.”

Quilala said he is hoping that their case would be an example for other disgruntled passengers of Cebu Pacific.

“Kasi baka may ibang biktima na tumatahimik na lang syempre yung hassle, yung gastos. Some of them cannot afford yung abugado to protect their rights,” he said.

(Perhaps other victims don’t do anything because of the hassle and the expenses. Some of them cannot afford a lawyer to protect their rights.)

INQUIRER.net attempted to get the side of Cebu Pacific but the lines were busy. Initial media reports said the company is still investigating the incident.

At the same time, perhaps these photos also beg us to ask why we feel the need to "makeup" ourselves to look like someone we are not? What are your thoughts?

India: Teen Sisters Allegedly Gang-Raped, Hanged to Death in Uttar Pradesh; Cops Suspected

Authorities in northern India said Thursday that they have arrested three men, including two police officers, suspected of gang-raping and killing two teenage sisters before hanging their bodies from a mango tree, sparking renewed public outrage over sexual violence in the country.

Villagers found the girls’ bodies hanging from the tree Wednesday morning, hours after they disappeared from fields near their home in Katra village in Uttar Pradesh state, police Superintendent Atul Saxena said. The girls, who were 14 and 15, had gone into the fields because there was no toilet in their home.

Hundreds of angry villagers spent the rest of Wednesday in silent protest over alleged police inaction in the case. Indian TV channels showed video of the villagers sitting under the girls’ bodies as they swung in the wind, preventing authorities from taking them down from the tree until the suspects were arrested.

Police arrested the three men later in the day and were searching for four more suspects.

Autopsies confirmed the girls had been gang-raped and strangled before being hung, Saxena said.

The villagers accused the chief of the local police station of ignoring a complaint by the girls’ father Tuesday night that the girls were missing. The station chief has since been suspended.

The family belongs to the Dalit community, also called “untouchables” and considered the lowest rung in India’s age-old caste system.

India tightened its anti-rape laws last year, making gang rape punishable by the death penalty. The new laws came after nationwide protests over the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old woman on a moving bus in New Delhi that triggered nationwide protests.

Records show a rape is committed every 22 minutes in India, a nation of 1.2 billion people. Activists say that number is low because of an entrenched culture of tolerance for sexual violence, which leads many cases to go unreported. Women are often pressed by family or police to stay quiet about sexual assault, experts say, and those who do report cases are often subjected to public ridicule or social stigma.

Last month, the head of Uttar Pradesh state’s governing party told an election rally that the party was opposed to the law calling for gang rapists to be executed.

The Costly Affair

Image courtesy of www.israbox.com

Stories have been going around that a power couple broke up. The wife (TW), who possesses one of the most beautiful faces in showbusiness, has had enough of the philandering ways of her husband, an intense actor (IA), who is known for his adept acting skills in dramas or comedies. Was this problem the reason why TW extended her vacation abroad?

Upon being confronted with the rumor that he was seeing another woman, IA admitted to TW that he was indeed involved in an affair with a young non-showbiz woman. TW was so furious that she made a hard decision, which was to break up from IA. IA vehemently asked to be forgiven, but TW was firm. However, splitsville was not going to be easy for the sake of their kids and perhaps, their endorsements as well. Thus, to keep the semblance of a happy family, IA and TW are still living in the same house, but retreat to different rooms.

Despite the years, IA still lands in the top five of male actors that people, regardless of age and gender, have a crush on. Meanwhile, TW has maintained her looks that brought prestige to the country a couple of decades ago. Raised abroad and tucked with a degree from a top local university, TW has made her mark in the business by portraying iconic roles and showing off her talent in performing.

Incidentally, prior to their marriage, IA has been known to have his way with the ladies. Other than his showbiz girlfriends, IA is known to be quite a womanizer. However, when he settled down with TW, which surprised people, as they never had a public admission of their relationship, he lived up to the expectations of a good husband and father. In fact, others have admired and considered their marriage as a model. The couple, who are in their 40s, are admired for their low profile and principled ways in raising their family. Praises are often heard when the public sees how well they have raised their children.

Friends of the couple are still hoping that IA and TW will get back soon. IA was so affected that he had to ask their close friends to intervene and to convince TW to take him back. Imagine the disappointment and disbelief once the couple admit they have indeed called it quits. The last thing that any married couple would want to happen is to separate, but as IA and TW are products of broken homes themselves, they should know how to handle this bump in their marriage.

The success of marriage comes not in finding the “right” person, but in the ability of both partners to adjust to the real person they inevitably realize they married. – John Fischer

Secret Rendezvous Leads to Glances at the Couple

Date Published: May 17,2013

After getting out of the country to escape from the controversy, young actress (YA) was allegedly spotted in a foreign country with her actor boyfriend (AB). Perhaps trying to avoid detection, YA was sporting obviously dyed blonde hair.

According to the source, YA and AB, who were accompanied by the mother of YA, looked like they were trying to register to get tied permanently. More interesting is the comment that YA allegedly had an obvious bump as well.

Although the country is quite far from the Philippines, it boasts of a sizable Filipino population, most of whom have intermarried with the locals. However, these Filipinos might not even know who YA is as she was not able to leave quite an impact as a star here.

Of course, it was puzzling to her followers why YA just left the country in a huff after leaving a trail of discontentment towards her former home network. While AB had been dragged into her hasty decision, people from his camp have refused to talk about the matter.

If indeed the news of YA being in that interesting stage was true, shouldn't AB be proud instead of trying to keep the matter private? He is a very public figure and although he does not generate as much intensity anymore as he used to, AB still owes the truth to his followers, especially to his loyal fans.

Stubborn Lady Actress Hates Harness!

Image courtesy of www.gelaskins.com

Date Published: January 8, 2013

In the era of special effects, the harness is used to create the illusion of flight of the characters in the movie or the teleseryes. Most actresses and actors as well as singers trusted the use of the harness to achieve the great effects of their program. For example, lead actresses such as Angel Locsin and Marian Rivera used the harness to achieve the flying effect of their Darna character with no qualms. Then, even a non-action star like Richard Gutierrez used the harness when he did his death-defying stunts in his teleseryes. In other words, when the harness is used, professionals are around to ensure the safety of the user. Hence, why was this reactive and stubborn lady actress (SL) so against with her using the harness in her short role in a soon to be released epic project?

It’s not just using the harness that seems to be bugging SL these days. She even allegedly cancelled her photo shoot for an endorsement because she felt she was too fat. Uh oh. Is SL worried that her “bulges” might be mistaken as a some sort of “bump?”

While SL has started her social network allegations with her mother studio, another industry insider (II), who just happened to be the head writer, has issued her side of the story. II has been in the business for more than a decade and has been trusted by the major networks to come up with the scenes and dialogues to make the actors look good.

In reply to SL, II has revealed her frustration over the ways SL approached her issue. II believes that such complaints against the network should have been coursed through the proper and professional channels within the conference rooms and not in a public forum for the world to know. Hence, what SL overlooked was the damaging effect of her allegations to the network that discovered her.

According to II, SL did arrive at the appointed time. Then, it took two hours to put on her makeup, fix her tattoos, and costumes. Thus, by the time she was ready, it was the dinner break for the crew. Naturally, the crew had to eat or else the production would be so awful. We all know how grumpy and inefficient hungry people could be. To make matters worse, SL refused to use the harness! Thus, II had to think of ways to simplify the crucial scene just to accommodate SL’s demand. A scene cannot be changed in minutes, by the way.

What puzzled the production was that the script was sent to SL even before the shoot, and the assumption was that she should have already read and be familiar with the demands of her role. Hence, she should have requested for changes prior to her taping day. The flight scenes were essential because SL had a non-human role that required special effects in the fight scene. Hence, without the illusion of flight, the scene would be ordinary.

Contrary to the claim of SL that it was already 4:00 am when they shot her scene, and she left by 5:00 am, II replied that the production team was already calling again at 2:30am because SL already “walked out.” Thus, SL had allegedly left even before 2:30am!

Now this issue with SL has gone beyond the harness. It has grown into SL’s word versus the production’s testimony, and SL against her network. Between a start up talent who has shown her true colors this early and the seasoned production team of a network, who would be more believable? With SL, why did she refuse to use the harness, anyway? Was the stunt too dangerous? Too dangerous for whom? Perhaps the answer can enable people to understand her ways.
