The family of former Senate President Ernesto Maceda on Monday clarified earlier statements, saying the veteran lawmaker is in critical condition is alive.
The former senator's son, Ernesto Jr., made the clarification over Radio dzBB. "My father is still receiving medical care... The family expects that we can make an announcement tonight," he said.
He said that his father had been experiencing chest pains in recent weeks and had to undergo surgery.
Earlier Maceda family spokesperson Jimmy Policarpio said that Maceda underwent gall bladder surgery two days ago. He noted that the former senator also underwent heart bypass surgery in 1992.
"Siguro gawa ng masyadong napagod noong eleksyon sapagkat napaka-personal ng pagtakbo ng kanyang anak," Policarpio said in an interview over dzBB. Policarpio asked the public to respect the Maceda family's privacy.
A columnist for the Philippine STAR, Maceda served as Senate president from 1996 to 1998 under the term of former President Fidel Ramos. He was also the secretary of Commerce and Industry (1970 to 1971) and executive secretary (1969 to 1970) under the late President Ferdinand Marcos. He served as Philippine ambassador to the United States from 1998 to 2001.

Repost: Miss Philippines Earth 2016 Reveals Backstage Bullying

“I’m a victim of pageant bullying. There were vicious women in the pageant. Everybody hated me.”
Newly crowned 2016 Miss Philippines-Earth Imelda Bautista Schweighart revealed these to the Inquirer shortly after she bested 45 other aspirants at pageant rites held at the UP Theater in Quezon City on June 11.
According to the 21-year-old winner, the most difficult part of the pageant took place offstage.
“I lost my pageant heels, foundation and my only eye-shadow palette. Someone got those before coronation night,” she revealed. “The heels are essential because they improve my height.”
“I’m surprised they went missing because I’m a very organized person. They were stolen, and my fellow candidates didn’t help,” she added.
She surmised that many contestants “hated” her because “I’ve been winning awards. I’m the front-runner, so they’re pulling me down.”
Schweighart earlier received the corporate titles, Miss Pontefino Residences and Miss Ever Bilena. She also placed second in the preliminary swimsuit competition and the poll among media men for Darling of the Press, and finished third in the prepageant cocktail wear and evening gown competitions.
She also said she got sick before the important closed-door preliminary selection by the judges because of a certain type of oil she got from a fellow candidate.
“She told me it’s a brain booster. That’s what’s written on the bottle. It smelled like eucalyptus. I won’t name names, but I trusted the girl who gave it to me, so I took it before I entered the room,” Schweighart lamented.
“But it made my sinuses act up and gave me a sore throat. I still felt sick until coronation [night]. I even got a toothache and I felt pain all over,” she continued.
When asked if anybody among her fellow contestants stood by her side, she replied: “No one defended me. It was hard whenever I hear those things said about me. There were some who relayed to me what they heard [was being] said about me by the other girls.”
But the German-Filipino representative of Puerto Princesa City brushed it all off. “I just focused on myself. I traveled from Puerto Princesa to represent my city and bring home the crown. And it’s our first time to win; Palawan deserves it,” she declared.
She found solace from those who were not contenders.
“The older people were the ones who defended me, who understood me. Ma’am Peachy (Veneracion, project director of organizer Carousel Production) and the staff protected me from the mudslinging leading to the coronation night,” Schweighart confirmed.
But hers was not an isolated case.

“When I confided to Ate Jamie (Herrell, 2014 Miss Earth), she said the same thing happened to her. She told me: ‘When I started in the competition, I had 24 swimsuits with me. By the time the pageant ended, I only had four left…and my heels also went missing.’ And Ate Angelia (Ong, 2015 Miss Earth) told me she also experienced bullying abroad,” shared the reigning beauty.
During the final moments of the competition, when Schweighart and Kiara Giel Gregorio from the Filipino community of London became the last women standing, several other ladies were yelling “London” as host Robi Domingo was about to announce the winner.
And when Schweighart was proclaimed as the new queen, the remaining contestants rushed to the other winners, taking selfies, leaving her out in the cold.
“Those bullies were psyching me, to weaken me. But I didn’t give in. I had to kill the demons and survive,” said the queen.
To her detractors, the Palaweña winner had this to say: “I hope you find yourselves in a place where you can be healed from the past hurt. Find forgiveness and peace.”

Must be Seeking Her Distractions
However, after the bloody part of ‘he said-she said’ has subsided, moving on can take various ways. Some find love and secure their relationships immediately with marriage or long-term commitment with a new person, whereas others decide to be cautious and not plunge into a permanent relationship.
When the marriage of Pretty Starlet (PS) and her Celebrity Husband (CH) was over, their fans were sad because they seemed to be an ideal couple. PS was at the peak of her career, having discovered that she could act as well in addition to her hosting skills and CH was garnering praises for helping his team gain strong ground in his field. When they got married, PS shunned showbiz to make sure their marriage would work. Unfortunately, it did not. Except for a moment of letting the public speculate on the cause of their doomed relationship, both have kept quiet on the reason of their separation. After some time, CH found his new partner, while PS has tried to revive her career.
Recently, PS has been seen with Non-Showbiz Personality (NS), who has been linked with Influential Expert (IE) as far as runway matters are concerned. The alleged relationship of NS and IE was once the subject of society columns and blind items because both were still in relationships when they were found out to be attracted to each other. With the sighting PS with NS, people could not help but wonder if NS has dumped IE for PS, who is much younger and daring than IE.
However, seeing PS touchy feely with NS raised more questions because she was spotted with a date with an older looking Asian man a few weeks before being seen with NS. Being seen with two different men within a short span made the conservative raise eyebrows at the actions of PS. Still others think that PS might still be seeking her self-worth after the breakup with CH, which left her in bad light.
‘When we are looking for validation, that will never satisfy us. When we are looking for affection, for love, a little bit of that will be enough to be complete.’– Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
