Achieving a Wiser Way to Manage Her Earnings
Image courtesy of www.achieving-immortality.com
Other performers have trusted their parents or managers to take care of their finances. In these cases, some parents have been lambasted as milking their children to take care of the family expenses, which should be their responsibility. However, other parents have wisely invested the money of their children in worthwhile projects, like investing in real estate or opening a business. For the few who have decided to be financially independent, the results can be disastrous. Take the case of the financial matters of Young Beautiful Actress (YB).
YB was able to regain her stature in her network after a forced vacation. Her talent and looks are hard to put down, and thus, her network still believes in what she can do. Despite her problems then, the network did its best to support her. With various projects, appearances, and endorsements come earnings, which YB allegedly has not been smart enough to save. Her bank accounts are down to zero, her checks have bounced, and she is in deep debt trouble. These money problems have eroded her name and credibility in her banks. What is puzzling is where YB spends her earnings.
YB still lives with her family. Hence, her parent, who can move from one network to another smoothly, takes care of all household expenses. During a taping, YB had to contend with the food served in the production because she had no money to buy her own. Then, she even borrows money for her gasoline expenses. Worse, her parent also pays for the needs of her young child. Some people are worried that YB has yet to save for her child as what other single-parent talents have focused on once they have projects.
While the talent and popularity of YB have yet to be maximized, she should start thinking of her future as well as her child’s. She should wake her up to the reality that fame and fortune can end unexpectedly, but the bills and expenses will stay. YB should learn to rethink her spending habits, if not for herself, then for her child.
It’s good to have money and the things money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while, and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy. – George Horace Lorimer

Question: What Can You Say about the Alleged Stolen Art Work that Won in the 2nd Calidad Humana National Essay Photography Competition?

Mark Joseph Solis, a political science graduate of the University of the Philippines who is currently studying public administration also in UP, won $1,000 plus round-trip air fare and accommodations to Chile and Brazil for the entry he called “The Mettle of the Filipino Spirit.”
The entry in the 2nd Calidad Humana National Essay Photography Competition organized by the embassy of Chile, with the theme “Smiles for the World,” supposedly depicted a boy from Zamboanga City helping his father gather seaweed.
The contest was supposed to celebrate uniquely Filipino human qualities or calidad humana. The STAR ran the story after the awarding ceremonies last Wednesday that coincided with the National Day of Chile.
After the story came out, however, Gregory John Smith, a social entrepreneur with the global network Ashoka and founder of the Children at Risk Foundation in Brazil, said it was his photo.
“The photo was actually taken by me in Brazil in 2006, whilst on Christmas holidays at the coast together with four brothers from the same poverty-stricken family in Brazil, who were supported by our program at the time,” Smith told GMA News Online. “The photo was taken by me on a beach in Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, whilst the kids were having fun chucking seaweed at each other.”
He pointed to his Flickr account featuring the same photo, dated 2006 and titled “Neptune of the Sea,” together with photos of other children in Brazil.
Solis admitted lifting the photo from Flickr.
“I’m deeply sorry. I’m in deep remorse. Right now, I already contacted the organizers and I’m about to contact the owner to personally convey to him my deepest and personal apology,” Solis told Rappler.
In a comment he posted on Rappler, Smith suggested that Chile’s Ambassador Roberto Mayorga give the prize instead to his foundation, which also helps children in the Philippines.
Smith said he would be visiting Manila early next year for a project in Manila’s Smokey Mountain.
Rappler reported that it was not the first time Solis had joined a photo contest with an entry taken by another person.
He also entered Smith’s photo in the United Nations International Year of Water Cooperation contest, with the child identified as an Indian. In the same contest, Solis entered a second photo also lifted from the Flickr album of the Children At Risk Foundation.
Photos lifted from other people’s Flickr accounts were also entered by Solis in competitions organized by Papworth Trust, VinylPlus and even the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, Rappler reported.
In a letter to “Sir Gregory” posted on Rappler, Solis blamed his “youth, lack of experience, and the inability to see the repercussions of my actions” for “a regrettable lapse on my judgment.”
“I am writing to you to express my deep remorse and sincerest apologies for claiming your photo as mine,” Solis wrote. “No words can express how sorry I am...”
He said the photo was “one of the most heartwarming” he had seen and he kept it as wallpaper in his computer – “an enduring reminder of what every amateur photographer should aspire for.”
“The sheer amount of the prize, the stiff competition, and the unique opportunity to be abroad blinded me from undertaking what is supposed to be an honest and a rightful conduct,” Solis wrote.
A saddened Mayorga told The STAR last night that he would meet with the other principal sponsors of the contest, among them UP, to decide their next move. He said he believed Solis did not represent the majority of Filipinos.
The STAR was a media partner in the contest, which received about 500 entries.

Still A Miser
Even at the height of his popularity, TA the miser knew no bounds that even friends were aghast – like when he would shamelessly ask for discounts at fast food restaurants even when fans and customers craned their necks to catch a glimpse of him. Sometimes these fans made him feel ill at ease that he would want to get out of the restaurant asap, yet could not because he would still want to wait for his loose change.
Even his kids are supposedly not spared from his tight fists. Before TA buys them anything, he would seem to count like more than a hundred times before he gives in, because he said that by doing so, the chances that he will regret the purchase are nil.
A source said that TA went to a gadget store in a high-end mall to buy himself a pricey cellphone unit. Just before the warranty expired , TA went back to the store to say that there was something wrong with the phone.
The Head of the Store HS happily assisted TA. After checking on the phone, TA was told that it would be fixed and he was given a turnaround time to claim it back. However TA requested if it was possible for HS to be the one to deliver the gadget to his house, then gave HS his address. HS was hesitant at first but realized that TA's house was within his route on his way home so he agreed. Days after, HS delivered the phone to TA. He was overwhelmed by TA's big and beautiful abode.
TA looked and inspected the phone and looked satisfied. Soon after, HS had the shock of his life when TA handed him 20 pesos for fare on his way home.
HS was in utter disbelief that he could not contain himself - till the morning after.

He Goes For Socializing
Image courtesy of www.readtwelvestories.com
A Public Servant PS from one of the Philippines' progressive regions is widely perceived to be gay. His government position does not deter PS from doing whatever pleases him. Reportedly, PS gets regular "bookings" (euphemism for hiring males for sex) and doesn’t care less where these guys come from - as long as they are hot and young.
Like most politicians before him, PS is reportedly corrupt and is often seen publicly at a popular casino resort not really to gamble but to eyeball with some "prospects" while using his influence to take the boys to places, and gives them gifts such as gadgets and cash, in exchange for sex.
There has been a lot of misgivings from most of his constituents about PS for being and acting weird at times. He is so tactlessly active in social media, and meddles and dips his fingers in every national issue and posts them on his different accounts to be talked about and get as much public attention as possible.
Some people say that PS has strange habits, too, like deleting friends for the silliest of reasons. Others maliciously say it is done so that he can have space for more boys in his accounts. Oh uh…
And oh how the fun-loving PS just loves beauty pageants, bikini open and festivals - supposedly for regional interests, but according to most of his constituents themselves, more than anyone - it is himself that PS is pleasuring for the most part.
Yet talks get around that PS is aiming for a higher post - a national seat that he was reportedly been eyeing for the longest time. For that, he has allegedly maintained close connections with some Media Entities ME who he often showers and spoils materially. On the other hand, these ME's are only too glad to welcome and accept anything from PS, even at the risk of violating their code of ethics.
