MAGKASINTAHAN NAKUNAN NG CELLPHONE VIDEO NA MAY GINAGAWANG KAKAIBA

The Quezon Memorial Circle is a national park located inside a large traffic circle in the shape of an ellipse bounded by the Elliptical Road. People usually recognize it by the tall mausoleum which houses the remains of former President Manuel L. Quezon. Throughout the years, it has served as an area of recreational space and a sort of lifestyle hub.

The memorial circle has three layouts, which include the Quezon Memorial Shrine, three museums (QCX, Quezon Heritage House, Museo ni Manuel L. Quezon, and Presidential Car Museum), spaces for recreation (Seminar Hall, Century Hall, and People’s Hall), and several gardens and monuments.

It is a public place that generally caters to all kinds of activities that are supposed to be for everyone. However, a group of students caught a particular couple who couldn’t wait to do their deed in a private, enclosed space. One of them shared their traumatic experience in his own Facebook account, where the student detailed that it happened right in the public grounds of Quezon Memorial Circle.

As of this writing, the student’s post has reached 1,800 likes and reactions, 930 shares on other netizens’ respective timelines, and around 639 comments.

According to him, he and his companions were supposed to scout for places which would be used for their shoot in a school project. They saw a garden inside the Quezon Memorial Circle and decided that it was a good place to film some scenes for their project. However, they saw a couple who made love by the corner of the garden.

He said that the couple saw them but instead, chose to continue and do their deed. The student and his companions were left with no choice but to deal with them since they couldn’t find any more appropriate place for their shoot. To their surprise, when they saw the pictures they have taken, one of the couple lifted a middle finger to them.

Netizens expressed their opinions when they read the student’s post. Here are some of their reactions:

What do you think about this, readers? Have you seen similar happenings inside the Quezon Memorial Circle? Don’t hesitate to report any unsightly scenarios to the authorities!

Robredo more interested than Bongbong for SC to settle election case

Robredo, a staunch critic of the abuses under the Marcos regime, declared she was confident the SC, sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, will dismiss the electoral protest filed by Marcos.

“The biggest issue is the first cause of action. That was dismissed so we are confident. We are just waiting,” she told reporters in Cauayan, Isabela.

The Vice President wished for the protest against her to be speedily resolved as soon as possible.

“We think in the soonest possible time, the other causes of action would be dismissed,” the 52-year-old former housing chief said in a mix of English and Filipino.

Robredo was a keynote speaker at last Friday’s 17th National Public Employment Service Office (PESO) Congress held in Isabela.

The event was held to review the current status of approaches on public employment in the country. It also served as a platform for PESO managers to share best practices on facilitation of employment.

The Vice President then flew to Nueva Vizcaya later that day for the Lakbay Kwento, where she shared the life story of her husband, Jesse Robredo, by reading the children’s book, “Nay, Ano Ang Bayani?” to the students of the Bintawan South Elementary School.

Asked to comment on Marcos’ claim that once the counting of ballots begins, the PET would decide on the case within the year, Robredo said it is to her best interest that the protest is resolved right away.

“We know the case they filed is baseless. Their first cause of action was denied. They said themselves they would no longer present witnesses. That is why if someone is interested for this to immediately end, it would be us,” she stressed.

President Duterte Signed Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Election this year

The Commission on Elections tests polling equipment in this file photo taken in Barangay Linmansangan in Alaminos City. President Rodrigo Duterte has signed the bill postponing the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections this year.

President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law on Tuesday Republic Act 10953 postponing the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections to 2018.



Communications Secretary Martin Andanar confirmed this in a text message to INQUIRER.net.

Asked if the President signed on Tuesday the bill postponing the said elections, he replied, “Yes.”

The new law was signed less than a month before the scheduled barangay and SK elections on October 23.



The copy of the law, released by Malacañang, stated that the synchronized barangay and SK elections would be postponed to the second Monday of May 2018.

The law stated “incumbent barangay officials shall remain in office” until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified.

It said the subsequent synchronized barangay and SK elections shall be held on the second Monday of May 2020 and every three years thereafter.





Duterte has repeatedly said he wanted to postpone the elections, claiming local officials would use drug money to influence the elections.

OFW Umiiyak na Humihingi ng Tulong Kay Raffy Tulfo Dahil Sa Kanyang Sitwasyon

Saudi Arabia has a deep cultural belief that it is socially acceptable to hit a woman to discipline a spouse. Ever since then, there have been numerous cases of domestic violence that have gone unnoticed.

Recently, an OFW named Luzminda Romulo from Davao has posted a video and picture on Facebook crying for help regarding the abuse that she’s allegedly experiencing from her male employer. She has called on the attention of Raffy Tulfo, a popular TV and radio personality, to help her get back to our country.

“Pagdating ko sa taas, nag cr po ako sir. Di ko namalayan pumasok na sya sa kwarto ko. Tinanong ko sya kung anong ginagawa nya sa kwarto ko at sabi nya magpapahilot daw sya.” “Pero, sinagot ko sya na di kasama sa kontrata ko yan. Kontrata ko bahay lang, hindi yan kasali. Natakot na ako dahil madaming beses na nya yan ginawa sa akin.”

Luzminda said.

She also mentioned that she’s afraid to tell her female employer because her 5 months’ worth of salary is still with them. Even though she wants to report the issue, she feels helpless because she doesn’t have any way to contact the authorities for help especially the agency who hired her for the position.

Many Filipino Facebook users have shared their anger and frustration to Luzminda’s employer regarding the alleged abuse in the Facebook post.

One user commented,

“Dapat binibigyan pansin ang mga ganitong problema. Kung ganyan ugali ng mga lalaki ng Saudi, dapat hnd na cla binibigyan ng tao maging ksambahay dito sa Pilipinas.”

Another user said,

“Hindi po kasi basta basta pwedeng magsumbong sa amo na babae kasi madalas ikaw pa ang babaliktarin ng amo at mas lalo kang pag iinitan, hindi din basta makalabas kung wala sa kanya yung ikama nya! tulungan nlabg nten syang ishare para mkarating ang kay raffy tulfo at pag punta ng nga taga embassy kala ate dretso alis na sya, kasi kung mqiiwan pa sya ay baka ano na ang gawin sa kanya!”

Robin Padilla claims dragon tattoo is reason he couldn't leave the country

Robin Padilla said he could not think of any reason why he was barred from leaving the Philippines by the Bureau of Immigration, except for his dragon tattoo.

Tattoos, specifically dragon tattoos, have been in the spotlight recently due to Senator Antonio Trillanes IV's claims that presidential son Paolo Duterte is a member of the triad, a notorious Asian organized crime ring.

This, Trillanes said, could be proven by a dragon tattoo which, he claimed, Paolo has on his back. The tattoo is supposedly a known symbol of the triad.

Paolo said that he does have a tattoo but refused to confirm what kind. (READ: 'Ano kami, uto-uto?' Paolo Duterte's lawyer hits Trillanes)

Robin, who was convicted of illegal possession of firearms in 1994 and fully pardoned by President Rodrigo Duterte late last year, took to Instagram to express his dismay over the situation.

"Sa hindi maipaliwang na pangyayari ay hindi ako makakaalis ng bansa dahil ako ay may hold order sa Bureau of Immigration. Napakagulo ng naganap na ito sapagkat noong ako'y conditional pardon lamang kailanman ay hindi ako nagkaroon ng suliranin sa pag-alis ng Inangbayan pero ngayon na absolute pardon na ako ay ngayon pa ako nabiyayaan ng hold order ng BI."

(For some unexplained reason, I will not be able to leave the country because of a hold depature order from the Bureau of Immigration. This is very confusing because when I was still under conditional pardon, I never had a problem leaving the country but now that I've been granted absolute pardon, the BI chose to give me a hold order.)

"Baka pati ako ay TRIAD na rin. Naku po naman baka ipatawag pa ako ng Senado, aba'y hindi ko kayo tatanggihan game ako dyan. Nakapanghihina naman po ang binabayaran kong malaking tax kung palagi akong kasama sa usual suspect," he said.

(I might also be accused of being part of the triad. My goodness, if the the Senate calls me, I won't decline, I'm game to attend. The huge taxes I pay will make me feel weak if I'm always included as one of the usual suspects.)

According to an Inquirer report, BI spokesperson and lawyer Maria Antonette Mangrobang said that all orders against Robin were lifted after he was granted executive clemency in November 2016.

"Negative po talaga sa records ng BI Port Operations Division that Robinhood Padilla went through immigration procedure in the last 7 days, nor do we have any record that he was not allowed to depart recently," she said.

(The BI Port Operations Division did not see any record of Robinhood Padilla going through immigration procedure in the last 7 days, nor we have any record that he was not allowed to depart recently.)

Robin said he was invited by the Princess of Sulu to an event to celebrate the friendship ties of the Philippines and China. But when he got to the airport, he was surprised to find out he was not allowed to leave.

How to get NSO/PSA Certificate Online – Birth, Marriage, Death or CENOMAR

Back in the days when you need to fall in line for almost a day just to get your authenticated NSO/PSA Birth Certificate needed for your job or school. I remember when I was applying abroad and I need to provide the agency with my authenticated NSO/PSA Birth Certificate as part of the requirements.

I visited PSA regional office branch in Legazpi, I have no idea that it would be crowded in the PSA office that time, so I go almost 9 am. I’m a little bit upset when I saw the queue of applicants reach outside the building.


I have no choice but to fall in line, and when I arrive at the counter to submit my application for Birth certificate, there’s no time to process my request and I need to go back again the next day to get the certificate.

Watch: Maria Sofia Love Posts Her Outrageous Take on the Philippine National Anthem

Maria Sofia Love was a breakout internet star in 2015. Her videos which showcased her “modeling para sa ekonomiya” and her funny taglines (“Ituloy ang modeling! Pak!”) were total fan favorites. People couldn’t get enough of her self-styled videos where she walked all over London, partied in clubs and scoping cute guys while eating out. However, one particular video had all of the internet buzzing, and this time for a negative reason.

Facebook page Ang Galing Mo Pinoy uploaded a video of the “model” playing “Lupang Hinirang,” the Philippine National Anthem. Though frowned upon to use such a revered song for unofficial purposes, there really wasn’t anything wrong with it until Maria Sofia Love decided to put her twist on it.

She was seen in a skimpy, red one piece, seemingly making fun of the National Anthem as she held her hand to her crotch instead of above her heart, as is the custom. As the video continued, she gyrated and performed arguably lewd moves to the music, giving no respect at all for the National Anthem. Understandably, many netizens were upset.

Some netizens even brought up House Bill 5224 (HB 5224), which is an update on how the National Anthem should be performed and played. Obviously, Maria Sofia Love violated a lot of the bill’s provisions. Most pertinently, the part of the bill which states that “the national anthem must be sung with fervor following the prescribed lyrics and with a salute – with all persons standing at attention with their right palms over the left chests.”

The song may not also be played for “events of mere recreation, amusement or entertainment purposes” except for a few official exceptions. Should a person be found guilty of these laws, he or she will have to pay “a fine of not less than P50,000 but not exceeding P100,000.”

Netizens are now calling for everything from a public apology to incarceration. As of this writing, Maria Sofia Love has no statement on the matter.

What do you think of this? Should Maria Sofia Love be punished “para sa ekonomiya?” Tell us your thoughts on this issue in the comments section!
