San Miguel Beer’s Arwind Santos was fined P200,000 by the PBA on Thursday for directing a monkey gesture at TNT KaTropa import Terrence Jones during Game 5 of the Commissioner’s Cup Finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial handed the heftiest fine in recent memory after summoning Santos at the league office in Libis to explain the actions he made with 1:05 left in the second quarter of the Beermen’s 99-94 win Wednesday night.

“Walang lugar ang racial discrimination sa basketball at sports, in general, at sa PBA, in particular. Hindi pinahihintulutan ng liga yung mga ganung aksyon, at kung maulit pa, mas mabigat na sanction ang ipapataw natin,” said Marcial.

(Racial discrimination has no place in basketball, sports in general and the PBA in particular. The league does not condone such actions, and a stiffer punishment will be handed if similar incidents happen in the future.)

“Bilang Commissioner, humihingi ako ng pasensya at pang-unawa kay Mr. Terrence Jones at sa kanyang pamilya. Ang PBA ay tahanan para sa lahat, bukas para sa lahat at walang kinikilalang kulay, lahi o paniniwala,” he added.

(As Commissioner, I would like to apologize and ask for understanding from Mr. Terrence Jones and his family. The PBA is open for everyone regardless of color, race or beliefs.)

Santos also must commit a total of 100 hours of community service and undergo seminar and counseling on equality and racial discrimination.

The veteran forward later used his Twitter account to apologize to Jones and to the public.

“I don’t mean anything bad (to) you (Jones). I hope you forgive me (and) I wanna say sorry,” Santos said in a video that lasted 44 seconds.

“Gusto ko humingi ng taos-pusong pagpapatawad sa fans ng (TNT), San Miguel, PBA at sa lahat ng mga nasaktan. (I would like to sincerely apologize to the fans of TNT, San Miguel, the PBA and all those who were hurt by my actions.)

“Wala po akong masamang intensyon. Inaamin ko po, mali po ako. Sorry po, sana mapatawad niyo po ako. Tao lang po ako na nagkakamali din. Yun lang po. Sana mapatawad niyo po ako. Sorry,” Santos added.

(I have no ill intentions. I admit, I was wrong. I’m sorry, I hope you forgive me. I’m just a person who makes mistakes too. That’s all. I hope you forgive me. Sorry.)

Santos refused to apologize hours after Game 5, saying that the move was done in an attempt at playing mind games with Jones.

Jones condemned Santos’ actions the following day and called on the league to take “swift and significant action.”

Eddie Baddeo has died. He was 57.

His long-time partner, Edgar Medina, said in a Facebook post that the designer died at 1:40 am on Friday, August 16.

Baddeo first rose to fame in the late '80s and ealy '90s for his avant-garde couture using odd materials such as CDs and venetian blinds.

More recently, he dressed society mavens for the annual Best Dressed Women of the Philippines gala, which raises funds for the Philippine Cancer Society.

He was also known for being one of the whistle-blowers who called out Janet Napoles for her alleged involvement in the pork barrel scam in 2013. He later faced a libel complaint from Napoles for speaking out.

Baddeo was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2016, and continued to work even as he underwent treatment.

In the days leading up to his death, Baddeo was celebrating his 33rd year in the fashion industry, posting photos of his creations on Instagram. He was also gearing up for the launch of his book Obra Maestra in September. – Rappler.com

Going Back to Babe

The risk of staging a show is high, especially if unforeseen circumstances suddenly crop up and have consequences on ticket sales. When Misbehaving Talent (MT) landed in the news, The Producers (TP) were alarmed at the negativity coming from the reports. Although MT is part of the entourage, his presence proved a problem for TP. Apparently, possible ticket sales were going to be lost if MT would still be part of the performers.

As the Local Counterpart (LC) cannot afford a flop away from home and a possible negative reception that can resonate on the entire team, a major decision was arrived at. TP has requested LC to adhere to their plea. Consequently, MT was dropped from the roster. Nonetheless, LC had already planned not to let MT join the said show. His presence might create tension as other Controversial Celebrities (CC) are part of the team and MT might just fan the fire and he might affect promos of projects involving CC.

Thus, MT stayed. When the issue broke and was picked up by media outlets and netizens dabbled in as well, MT shied away from interviews. He showed up only when needed. At one point, MT cleared one of the CCs and emphasized that whatever problem he had was with him and his relationship only.

Although MT still had commitments in public, he allegedly would cancel. Hence, his management is having problems with him. Rumours are circulating that MT is hardly home. While most would assume that MT might be spending time with one of the CCs, another story belies such belief. MT has his ‘home’ with Mature Actress (MA), whom he has been rumoured to be close with. As MA is much respected, her having a special relationship with MT, who is old enough to be her son, seems unbelievable. MA has never spoken about MT except when they were together in certain projects.

‘If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.’ ― Noel Langley

Longing to Comeback

Image courtesy of www.bonarsitumorang.com

One of the lessons emphasized in life is to never burn bridges with people, especially with superiors or people who have given one a break in his/her career. In the local entertainment industry, seasoned celebrities who move from one network to another or from one manager to another usually keep quiet on their past associations. If they do say something, the statements are all positive and never one that could damage the reputation of the left-behind management. The reason for such behavior is simple, that is, the ones who left might find themselves coming back.

While moving to another management seems to be a trend these days, especially for actors who do not have projects, Retired Actor (RA) decided to remain where his heart is. Even if RA disappeared for a time and gave the impression he has retired, rumors are circulating that he wants to revive his career.

At the peak of his popularity, RA was estimated to be among the young millionaires of his generation, as his projects did well. Moreover, he was among the most frugal talents, who was not as generous as other celebrities who would spend to make other members of the industry happy. Then, a personal event made him choose to take a hiatus.

Throwing caution to the wind, RA started to enjoy his hard-earned money by traveling abroad and all over the country. RA also spent for the needs and wants of His Love (HL), which turned out to be expensive. Without a steady source of income and relying on his investments, his finances started to dwindle and go down to critical level. Hence, RA felt the time was right to send feelers to Former Bosses (FB).

FB accommodated RA to listen to him. RA explained his predicament and FB understood. However, a comeback was not going to be given to RA on a silver platter. FB reminded RA of his actions, which incurred losses on the part of the production. FB stressed that they cannot risk the possibility of RA just abandoning his projects. More importantly, FB instructed RA to clean his act first. Only if he helps himself could FB help him.

Unknown to RA, FB was very cautious because they found out he was still intoxicating himself, and worse, his venue choices were small and cheap bars in the city. If he decides to undergo rehab, FB would be there for him. After all, FB has given many chances to come-backing talents, and thus, extending help to FB would not really be extraordinary.

‘There's nothing as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.’ – Rachel Griffiths
