Boxing icon and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao is offering free legal services for airline passengers who would be victimized by the "laglag bala" racket.
Pacquiao, vice chairman of the House of Representatives committee on overseas workers' affairs, said those who believe they have fallen prey to the the scheme should get in touch with lawyer Jojo Bondoc at mobile no. 09209211162 and inquire how they could avail of free legal services.
He said he has assigned a team of lawyers to help victims of the “tanim bala” modus.
The scheme involves the discreet dropping of bullets by airport personnel into the bags of unwitting airline passengers with the aim of extorting money from them upon apprehension so charges against them would be dropped.
Pacquiao made the offer even as he urged Malacañang to take “swift and concrete steps” in addressing the issue, which he said has been a cause of embarrasment for the country in the international community.
“Dapat nating ikabahala at dapat bigyan ang agarang solusyon ang problema kahit pa totoo o hindi ang sinasabi ng pamahalaan na ito ay 'isolated incident' lamang,” he said in a statement.
“Ang ganitong modus ay sumisira hindi lamang sa imahe ng ating bansa kundi pati na rin ang dangal at pagkatao ng mga inosenteng OFWs at iba pang biktima,” Pacquiao added.
The boxer said he was troubled that there have been OFWs victimized by the scheme, considering the hardship they need to endure to give a better life for their families.
Citing the recent apprehension of 56-year-old OFW Gloria Ortinez, Pacquiao said: “Pinalaya siya, subalit maibabalik pa ba nito ang kanyang nasirang dangal? Makakabalik pa kaya siya sa kanyang trabaho? Sino ang magbabayad sa kasiraang ginawa sa kanyang pagkatao?”
Ortinez, who has been working as a domestic helper for two decades, was apprehended before boarding her flight to Hong Kong on October 25. She has denied the allegation, saying the bullet did not belong to her.
Although the Pasay City Prosecutors Office has ordered Ortinez’s release, she now faces the danger of losing her job in Hong Kong after the incident.
Malacañang on Saturday said President Benigno Aquino III has already instructed Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya to investigate the alleged modus by airport staff following public outcry over recent "tanim bala" incidents.

Justin Bieber Interrupts Performance to Scold Spanish Audience
Source: www.huffingtonpost.com
"If you're gonna clap ... at least clap on the beat."
After walking out of an interview with a Spanish radio station last month and ditching a Norwegian concert after performing only one song, the relationship between Bieber and his overseas audiences has been touch-and-go.
Unfortunately, his recent stint in Spain has only made matters worse. During a live broadcast of his song "What Do You Mean?" the Biebs stopped singing after noticing that the enthusiastic audience was clapping to the wrong beat.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop," he said. "If you're gonna clap ... at least clap on the beat."
He went on instruct the audience on the the right way to clap, laughing awkwardly at the uncomfortable moment. The crowd was none the wiser and seemed happy to back in sync with the pop star.
If you were hoping Bieber's new music video would serve as an awkward moment palate cleanser, you are out of luck.
The video for the album's third single, "I'll Show You," was released on Monday and features Bieber running around in nature for no apparent reason.

Defying His Handlers for Being Real to His Nature

However, the celebrity status of DC resulted in his lack of privacy, such that seeing him in public becomes news the next day. Although DC’s activities might seem common for his age, the Management Team (MT) thinks differently. After several photos were posted in social media of DC with several showbiz and non-showbiz ladies, MT got alarmed. Fans reacted in social media and even bashed females in the photo with DC. Worse, the photos showed MT in various bars.
Realizing that such photos could create negative perceptions on DC, MT called for a meeting immediately. Furious, MT told DC that he has an image to protect. As a famous celebrity, his fans could be very possessive and seeing DC with other ladies could make them lose interest. Worse, DC is the other half of a steady loveteam with Pretty Actress (PA). This image already limits his movements as far as being chummy with women in concerned.
Fans expect DC and PA to end up together in real life, and thus, DC has to maintain the illusion that he has feelings for PA even if he has to force it. His actions offcam should center on developing a relationship beyond friendship with PA. For example, if PA has her birthday coming, DC should be give her a romantic gift that fans will appreciate.
MT then appealed to DC to take care of his partnership with PA, and the least he could do is not go to as many bars whenever he has a light schedule. Instead of quietly accepting the proposition of MT, DC gave his reply, which shocked the people who heard him. Blatantly, DC said that he does not see the point of having to be boxed in and waste his youth trying to keep away from the public limelight. Further, DC stressed that he was conducting his job professionally and that the management should not meddle in his personal affairs.
The reply stunned MT. At this point, even if DC was defiant, MT could not just drop him because of his haughtiness. MT and PA have impressive box-office results and high value endorsements, as well. To drop MT means to drop a cash cow, which is something MT could not afford to lose.
