Binibining Pilipinas Statement Regarding Filipino Designers

Here's the official statement of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Incorporated regarding the controversial remarks of its Pageant Director Madam Stella Marquez-Araneta.

If we remember in the Preliminary Competition the gowns worn by MJ Lastimosa made noise and was greatly criticized in social media, as the evening gown was called a "Shuttle Cock" and the national costume looking like a Wedding Cake. Those gown were made by Colombian Designer Alfredo Barazza the same person that made the gown of Miss Universe Paulina Vega. Many asked why BPCI didn't get any Filipino Designers and there Madam SMA was quoted that works of Filipino designers were "Not Good Enough" for their Candidates.

This years' set of Binibinis failed to won any crown, Bianca Guidotti didn't enter the Top 15 of Miss International, Yvethe Santiago entered the Top 20 for Miss Supranational, MJ Lastimosa placed in the Top 10 only, the highest position that they got is the 2nd runner up finish of Kris Tiffany Janson in Miss Intercontinental, Parul Shah didn't compete for Miss Tourism as the pageant wasn't held.

Binibining Pilipinas 2015 is up on March 15.

MRT/LRT/LRT2 Fare Increase Guide

Simula po bukas ika 4 ng Enero eto na po ang bagong singil sa Pamasahe ng MRT 3, LRT 1, at LRT 2. Narito ang mga Charts kung saan nakatala kung magkano ang bagong halaga ng pamasahe sa bawat linya ng tren. 


MRT 3: 

Simula bukas ang minimum na halaga ng pamasahe sa MRT na bumabagtas sa kahabaan ng EDSA mula North Avenue hangang Taft Avenue, ang dating Sampung Pisong minimum na pamasahe ito ay magiging Labing Tatlong Piso na at ang dating Kinse Pesos na pamasahe mula North Avenue hangang Taft Avenue ay magiging Php28 na. 



LRT 2

Sa LRT 2 naman na bumabagtas mula Santolan sa Marikina hangang sa Recto sa Maynila, ang dating Dose Pesos na minimum na pamasahe ay magiging Kinse Pesos na at madadagdagan ito ng Limang Piso sa kada paglampas ng tatlong istasyon, kaya ang dating Kinse Pesos na pamasahe mula sa Santolan hangang Recto ito ay magiging Php 25 na. 


Samantalang kung ikaw ay gagamit ng Stored Value Card mananataling Php 12 ang minimum na pamasahe at ang pagbiyahe mula Santolan hangang Recto ay mas mura ng Piso.

LRT 1

Sa LRT line 1 naman na tumatahak sa rutang Baclaran hangang Roosevelt ang dating Php 11 na minimum fare ay magiging Php 15 na, kaya ang biyahe ang dating Php 20 na pamasahe mula sa Baclaran hangang Roosevelt ito ay magiging Php 30 na. samantala mas makakatipid sa pamasahe kung gagamit ng Stored Value Card. 

 

PS: 

Ayon sa isang panayam kay Sec. Abaya ng DOTC, ang lahat ng kikitain ng taas pamasahe na ito ay mapupunta sa Private Concessionaire o Operator ng mga Tren. Mahal na mahal tayo ng Gobyerno natin kaya hindi lang ang Maintenance ng mga tren ang sasagutin natin pati na din ang kikitain ng mga pribadong kumpanya na hindi naman naitaas ang antas ng serbisyo ng mga tren. 

Sana lang sa pagtataas ng pamasahe eh maibsan ang araw araw na mahabang pila at ga sardinas na siksikan sa loob ng tren, sana din sa pagtataas na ito ay maibalik ang mga Ticket Vendo machine na sa tingin ko ay mas makakatulong para sa mas mabilis na pagbili ng mga tickets dahil sa totoo lang minsan mahaba ang pila dahil mabagal ang ilang nagbebenta ng ticket. Isang halimbawa ay sa Katipunan Station ng LRT 2 ako po ay sumasakay dun ng Ala Una hangang Alas Tres ng Hapon sa ganung oras ay kakaunti lamang ang tao, pero nitong mga nakalipas na buwan palaging mahaba ang pila sa bilihan ng ticket papaano dadalawa lang ang bukas na booth at yung ibang booth ay sarado.

Tragic Theater

What terror lies in a building believed to be haunted by hundreds of angry souls?  TRAGIC THEATER, Viva Films' initial offering for 2015, will give moviegoers a hair-raising experience as it revolves around a cinema's exorcism.  The film is based on a book by G.M. Coronel which is inspired by a real event.

                 In the early 1980s, a film center was being rushed into completion when a scaffolding collapsed and several workers got killed in the process.  It was widely believed that the number of deaths ranged between 150 to 168.  Even more shocking was how some of the men had allegedly died.  It was said that workers who were still alive but trapped by steel bars were not rescued, but rather, cement was poured over them to avoid delay in the construction. 

                Reports of paranormal activities would always be attached to the story.  Some claimed to have heard cries and screams even when there was no one around.  Others said they witnessed apparitions.  And though many have tried, no spirit questor is said to have been successful in driving the ghosts away. 

                With this background, TRAGIC THEATER begins its story.  Christopher de Leon, John Estrada, and AndiEigenmann star as the brave priests and government official who lead a group of spirit communicators inside the haunted cinema.

                Anne Marie Francisco (Eigenmann), an ambitious and workaholic coordinator of the Department of Tourism, is tasked to ensure that the infamous building is free of unwanted spirits so that construction of an IMAX Theater inside the structure can proceed.  She seeks the help of Father Nilo (Estrada), a leader of spirit communicators known for his radical methods of supernatural cleansing.  Together with his team, Fr. Nilo and Anne head for their mission, initially succeeding in contacting the spirits.  But the angry souls reveal that something more sinister exists among them and it refuses to leave. Much worse, it will not let anyone--dead or living--escape.

                TRAGIC THEATER is an early horror treat that will keep you on the edge of your seat.  Catch it on January 8, 2015.  Directed by TikoyAguiluz.Only from Viva Films.
