Anne Curtis Nip Slip

Whenever there's smoke, there's fire. But we never expected it to be hotter than this.

The rumor which started and circulated via web was finally validated. Yes, Anne Curtis had an accidental nip slip via last Sunday's dance number in ASAP XV, a local variety TV show. Reports said Anne's "treasure" has been exposed for around 10 seconds while performing a dance number via cheering crowd. It was Anne's real and reel partner Sam Milby who got up into the stage to save the clueless Ann. But the heroic act is not enough, because in this days of camera phone, a mere second makes great opportunity for the incident to capture picture perfect moments.

Just be careful next time Anne. Meanwhile, enjoy the sumptuous photo.

Manny Pacquaio is a King

There's no question Manny Pacquaio is a king. But the man does not excite me anymore.

Perhaps because MP is so strong that sometimes his fight became monotonous. He always wins so there's no suspense factor there. His opponent will just change, but it's the same fight as before and Pacquaio will always be the winner. The bet will no longer be on who's gonna win (because it would always be MP), but on what round or on what decision. Can you see my point? It's because MP is unbeatable, the sports becomes dull and less exciting.

Manny Pacquaio is king. He's getting stronger and stronger. But His fight will be just like an old movie being replayed for the nth time unless a real opponent as mighty as him comes. And by that, I don't really mean Mayweather!

Melai is Pinoy Big Brother Big Winner

Funny, comical, and fast talker Melissa was adjudged Big Winner in the recent edition of Pinoy Big Brother here in the Philippines. She bested four other finalists in the first ever Big 5 in Big Brother franchise history. Melissa or Melai is the audience's favorite since PBB opened last October 4, 2009 mainly due to her bubbly personality and comic antics very similar to comedienne Pokwang. Her most-loved "love story" with co-housemate Jason was also one of the best times of the season, and even topped the rating games besting other TV shows in the primetime slot. The odd love team of Jason and Melai (popularly known as Melason) became this generation's Gabby and Sharon, and even creating its own fanbase in online and offline community. Jason finished third place behind Paul Jake of Cebu, and bested Johann of Quezon City (4th place) and Tibo of Cagayan de Oro (fifth place). Melai is from General Santos City, the same place as Manny Pacquaio.

PBB is one of the passport of many local artists in making it big in the Philippine entertainment scene. It has produced Sam Milby, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, among others. Now that they're out of the house, we'll see if they could follow the same footsteps as their predecessor.

Ara Mina for Councilor

I pity Ara Mina for being the latest YouTube clown courtesy of her interview with Mo Twister on the latter's IMO TV show. I think she should fire her PR Team for putting her in an uncompromised situation. Her ignorance or lack of knowledge on Philippine politics is a mortal sin for someone wishing to seek public office. Although I believe that mastery of Philippine politics or current events is not really a barometer of a good public servant, but at least, one should prepare well before going into the actual battle.

(Note: Ara Mina is one of the many actors in Philippine entertainment industry who will try their luck in politics come Philippine election on May 2010. She runs for Councilor in Quezon City, appeared in various "sexy" movies, and was once linked to Manny Pacquaio.)

Bro. Eddie Villanueva Campaign Jingle (2010)

One formula of a successful jingle is to keep it hip, danceable and trendy. Bro. Eddie Villanueva really know this with his "Eddie Ako" campaign jingle featuring rapper Cloc-9. The title of the jingle is a pun of Eddie's name which when loosely translated in urban Tagalog (Philippine language) might means "It's me!". It also features the "Bus ni Bro" (Brother's Bus), more like a symbolism of divine intervention towards his Philippine presidential bid come May 2010. "Bro" is known in Philippine pop culture as reference to God Almighty, and Brother Eddie himself is known religious leader.

Overall the jingle gives a fresh and youthful vibe, more like a Christian worship songs. It could easily won the "Best Charismatic Jingle" among all presidential jingles.

Manny Villar Campaign Jingle (2009)

Okay, admit it! The jingle is catchy, has simple lyrics, and has that "pop" appeal. If there's a contest for campaign jingles, this one can easily bag the "Best Campaign Jingle" trophy. I bet it will even reach platinum awards for record sales. By the way, Manny Villar is one of the presidential candidates here in the Philippines. The man who appears in the video could be our next President come election time this May 2010. You know, politics here is the Philippines is very similar to showbusiness. The more entertainment value you got, the more chances of winning.

But it doesn't mean I'll vote for Villar though. Please watch the video and judge for yourself.

Chinese man needs girlfriend

Single ladies out there, this is one good news! But to single men, it means more competition from our Chinese friends.

According to a recent government-funded research in China conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, there will be a shortage of single woman in China by 2010. The proportion of man to woman will continue to increase leading to a higher number of single Chinese men. This is mainly due to an ancient Chinese practice from which couple put high preference to male offsring. There are many reported incidents of abortion once the couple discovered that they will be having a baby girl. Thus, gender imbalance became a critical issue for China and the world.

I just felt fortunate I was born in the Philippines where there are fewer boys. And every night is a real boy's night out!

Pacquaio-Mayweather superfight off

The superfight every boxing fans awaits is off. In a press statement, Team Pacquaio's promoter Bob Arum said that both parties did not come up in an agreement on the issue of Olympic-style drug testing. Pacquaio vs. Mayweather dream fight slated on March 13 would have been history's biggest and richest and might not happen again in the next decade. It would have guaranteed each boxer $40 million each (including pay-per-view sales). But principle, over money, is the issue here. I think both camps have their own reasons (but honestly I think Floyd Jr and Floyd Sr. were just chickened of Manny's strength). As a boxing fan, I wish future negotiations will make this fight possible.

Maybe March is not just the right time. Please don't disappoint us, Manny and Floyd!

Lucio Tan Jr. is now MRC Majority Shareholder

In a disclosure sent to PSE today 07 January 2010, MRC disclosed that Mr. Lucio Tan Jr. is now the majority shareholder of the company. What lies ahead is the question? If LTJ really intends a power plant it needs more money than the existing MRC's declared common shares. Next question, where to get the money? Try to answer that question and you'll know why I think MRC journey is not yet over...
