Kapampangan film competes in Cinemalaya Film Festival

 

 

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Kapampangan film “Babagwa” (The Spider’s Lair) is competing in the New Breed category of the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.

The gala premiere of “Babagwa” will be held on July 28 (Sunday), 12:30 pm, at the Main Theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in Pasay. Succeeding screenings will be held not only in CCP, but also in Greenbelt 3, Alabang Town Center, and TriNoMa fromJuly 28 to August 4.
“Babagwa” was written and directed by Kapampangan filmmaker Jason Paul Laxamana, a resident of Angeles City.

It is Laxamana’s second Kapampangan feature film after “Astro Mayabang” in 2010, which competed then in that year’s Cinema One Originals Film Festival. Acting as producer is Laxamana’s fellow Angeles resident, Ferdinand Lapuz, who also served as producer is several of Brillante Mendoza’s past films and the internationally-acclaimed “Bwakaw” by Jun Lana from last year’s Cinemalaya.

From all the entries submitted to Cinemalaya last year, “Babagwa” emerged as one of the Top 10 entries to be given a P500,000-seed grant to turn the script into a feature film. All finalists then would compete in Cinemalaya’s New Breed category, the bracket of the film festival where non-veteran filmmakers are competing against one another.

“Babagwa” is a film about an online scammer who falls in love with a rich old maid while trying to swindle her using a fake Facebook profile. The story is inspired by stories of deception in social networking sites like Facebook. “Deception is done online not only to earn money, but also for romantic needs,” Laxamana said. Set mostly in Angeles and nearby places like Dau, Apalit, and Floridablanca, the film’s dialogue is around 2/3 in the Kapampangan language.

The scammer in the story is Greg, who is played by Alex Vincent Medina, one of the stars in ABS-CBN’s primetime series “Ina, Kapatid, Anak.” The son of veteran actor Pen Medina, Alex reveals that their fatherside clan hails from the Pangans of Arayat.

The scammer’s accomplice is Marney, who is played by rising star Joey Paras. Paras acted alongside Dingdong Dantes in the film “Dance of the Steelbars” and will star soon in an upcoming Wenn Deramas film entitled “Bekikang.”

“Babagwa” also marks the comeback of beauty queen/actress Alma Concepcion in the movie scene. In the film, Concepcion plays the role of Daisy, the wealthy old maid who is being swindled by Greg and Marney.

Having his acting debut in the movie is Kiko Matos, who is half-Portuguese, half-Kapampangan. With maternal relatives coming from Capas, Matos could be remembered as one of the finalists in the TV Idol segment of the noontime variety show MTB. His fellow finalists then were Ahron Villena, AJ Dee, and the eventual winner, JE Sison. In “Babagwa,” he plays the role of Bam, the fake online persona being used by Greg and Marney to make unsuspecting homosexuals and ladies fall in love right before they move on to ask for money.

Also worth noting is the acting debut of Angeles Vice Mayor Vicky Vega.

In “Babagwa,” she plays the role of Marney’s mother who lives as an informal settler along Pampanga River in Masantol. Laxamana commends Vega for being a natural in acting and appreciates Vega’s willingness to be deglamorized for the role.

There are numerous opportunities for investments between US$100,000 and $500,000.  These opportunities are especially attractive for semi-retirement lifestyles.  The best, easiest and safest way to go about with this kind of investments is to deal with an existing business – a locator as business in Clark is called – so the investor is spared of the hassle of dealing with red-tape and bureaucracy that is always present in third-world countries.  The existing locator has already cleared the path so to speak and even if it means asking for small premium for a partnership, it is very much worth the while of a new investor to take this route.  Business opportunities depend largely on the skills, interests and experiences of the investors but there is a strong demand for more establishments in these areas: entertainment, shops, office space, construction and engineering services, restaurants and bars, transportation and travel assistance.

 

Clark Freeport is one of the most attractive business propositions the Philippines has to offer for investors in many kinds of businesses from BPO, hospitality, resorts and leisure facilities to condos, retirement homes, restaurants, bars and shops.

One CARD Up

 

 

OF LATE, several non-government organizations or NGOs were put to bad light due to their alleged involvement in the scandalous P10 billion pork barrel scam featuring a scam artist and some honorable members of Congress. Worse, these NGOs were found out to be with fictitious officers and addresses and were only used as conduits for the skimmed pork.

Don’t despair. There is one honest-to-goodness entity though which provides financial relief to members belonging to not-so-high sector of society and which orientation is similar to the Brahmeen bank in Bangladesh and helps its members survive financial crunch through its easy-to-acquire and repay credit scheme. This entity is the CARD-MRI or the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development Mutually Reinforcing Institution and it has been cited as a partner in the grant of student loans for UP Diliman which was earlier put to unsavory light with the death of its financially-troubled student, Kristel Tejada who committed suicide due to, yes, severe financial strait.

Recognizing the urgent need of UP alumni to survive the curriculum and modest tuition fees, BCDA president Arnel Paciano Casanova, likewise a UP alumnus, along with fellow alumni, initiated an education loan fund to bridge the struggling students’ requirements for financial assistance, in order to avoid the tragedy that befell Tejada and family.

The easy to access and repay loans shall be available to qualified student applicants at very low interest.

Lawyer Casanova reportedly urged all UP alumni to donate a minimum of P1,000 a year to the fund so that “it would grow and help as many students as possible.”

Cannot this noble initiative be replicated here in Central Luzon to aid poor but deserving students in this part of the woods?

Cannot the businessmen and traders and other noble hearts form a similar group to find out how it can help struggling yet deserving students in their educational and financial requirements? A modest annual contribution of P1,000 to a fund will not make a big dent on their pockets and savings accounts.

Mabiga is another barangay which is following Dau for its attraction to would-be investors. Its MacArthur Highway (Manila North Road to some) stretch can rival that of Dau in the number of business establishments and more can be accommodated.

There are three (if I am not mistaken) bank branches there already: Allied Bank, Porac Bank and GR Bank and more spaces can accommodate additional bank branches. The punong barangay is Emilio David, Jr., married to a Rivera family member and he can muster patronage of other investors if he will only get out and do some “marketing” of prospects. If he wants to get reelected, he should show some industry and hard work and not be content in hiding inside his cubicle in the barangay hall. Otherwise, a good punong barangay should take over.

Over at barangay Calumpang, punong barangay Jimmy Jimenez needs another mandate to keep his barangay at par with the village barangays: Marcos and Macapagal or probably more productive than these two. Despite protestations of the owner Erik Gomez, Paradise Ranch, a profitable entity, is indisputably situated at Calumpang. There is also a quarry site which gives the small barangay some income, despite the rivalry between the tribal associations. Kap Jimmy says that Calumpang Aeta Tribal Association, headed by Angel Sison, son of the former punong barangay Ruben Sison, should now be given recognition and acknowledgment as the appropriate entity to handle the quarry activities in Barangay Calumpang, to the exclusion of the other pretenders. The boundary dispute there deserves another story.

DA sets incentive scheme for farmers

 

 

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Department of Agriculture (DA)-Pampanga said that it is inviting farmer groups to take advantage of the farm machine incentive scheme that aims to provide farm machine assistance to farmer groups who can keep up with the rice production targets of the department.

DA Regional Director Andrew Villacorta said the machineries include post-harvest equipment and facilities, stressing that the machines will greatly boost local production of rice and other agricultural products.

Villacorta said the project is open to farmer groups who would like to avail of the incentive by registering their farm production and exceeding targets. He said that such move will give farmers better access to farm inputs and will help the overall production targets of the DA.

If farmers exceed in production per hectare, they will get a corresponding point for assistance.

He added that once implemented, the assistances are expected to boost current farm standards in the region and result in better production and harvest of agricultural products.

The regional office reported over the weekend that some P350 million worth of farm machinery projects where implemented in 2010.

DA said it aims to achieve 3.6 million metric ton (MT) production of palay for this year. The Bureau of Agricultural Statistics, Villacorta said, has recorded 1.7-million MT production for the first semester of the year. He added that DA expects 1.9 million metric ton production this wet cropping season.

DA has been topping DA’s production goals since last year, reaching production goals and registering even substantial production beyond target goals.

Villacorta said the move is part of DA’s initiative to achieve its production targets this season. He added that aside from the insurance coverage, DA has a buffer stock of 30,000 bags of certified seeds for seed subsidy for those that are not covered by the program or those that are not within the 62,000 hectares risk areas identified for coverage.

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.

 

Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year.  Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times.  Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesn’t have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.

 

Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball.   The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.

Guiao wants Mt. Pinatubo protected

 

 

ANGELES CITY — Pampanga 1st District Congressman Joseller Guiao stressed the need to protect and preserve the natural environment and historical significance of Mount Pinatubo, in order to be more attractive to tourists.

Guiao underscored the magnificent vista surrounding the majestic and famous volcano, which is located at the boundaries of Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales.

“It will be more attractive to tourists, both local and foreign, while at the same time protecting and preserving its bare natural assets and resources for the sake of future generations,” Guiao said.

The congressman relayed this point to members and officers of the Hotels and Restaurants of Pampanga (Harp), headed by its president, Mitch Otsuru of YuFuIn Japanese Restaurant at Maharajah Hotel, Angeles City, during their recent general membership meeting.

Guiao also told Harp members the need to safeguard and preserve the historical significance and natural environment of the legendary volcano from “further destructive practices and unfettered development.”

Mt. Pinatubo erupted in June 1991 and was heralded all over the world as one of the biggest eruptions of that century.

Department of Tourism-Central Luzon (DOT-3) Director Ronnie Tiotuico said that the Mt. Pinatubo is known by people living around its core, especially the indigenous people called Aetas, as a sacred place where the so-called native deity named Apu Namalyari resides.

Tiotuico said he was directed by Guiao to prepare a timeline for the formation of a technical working group, which will prepare the plans and programs for Mt. Pinatubo’s sustainable development.

Members of the technical working group will include the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Philippine Institute of Vulcanology and Seismology, Department of Public Works and Highways, National Commission for Indigenous People, local government units and private organizations, Tiotuico said.

Guiao said he is planning to file a bill in Congress to have Mt. Pinatubo and its surrounding communities declared as a “protected area” under Republic Act No. 7586, otherwise known as An Act Providing For The Establishment And Management Of A National Integrated Protected Areas System, defining its scope and coverage, and for other purposes.

As provided for under the same act, protected areas refer to identified portions of land and water set aside by reason of their unique physical and biological significance, managed to enhance their biological diversity and protected against destructive human exploitation.

These areas are public lands that are habitats of rare and endangered species of plants and animals, biogeographic zones and related ecosystems, whether terrestrial, wetland or marine, all of which shall be designated as protected areas.

Categories of protected areas include strict natural reserve, natural park, natural monument, wildlife sanctuary, protected landscapes and seascapes, resource reserve, natural biotic areas and other categories established by law, conventions or international agreements.

The DOT-3 office initiated the establishment of Mt. Pinatubo “Kabuhayan sa Turismo” Program in 1999 via Sta. Juliana, Capas, Tarlac where the safest and quickest route to the crater is found.

Tiotuico said the program has provided economic opportunities to hundreds of indigenous folks and local entrepreneurs through livelihood projects and job creation.

He added that thousands of trekkers find their way in the village every month until now.

The project had won three major awards for outstanding achievement in building better quality of life thru travel and tourism — PATA Gold Award 2001, DOT Kalakbay Award 2001, and ASEANTA Award 2002. It was included in the publication of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) entitled “Best Practices in Tourism” in 2001.

Guiao filed a bill on July 23 to declare June 15 of every year as a special non-working holiday in the province of Pampanga and Angeles City to be known as the Mt. Pinatubo Memorial Day.

Council starts probe of city’s finances

 

 

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The 5th City Council of San Fernando has started its inquiry “in aid of legislation” of the city’s financial status with a series of committee hearings and plenary discussions.

In his report during the last session of the City Council, Councilor Joselito Ocampo, Committee on Good Government, Public Ethics and Accountability said that the probe was meant “to understand the financial position of the local government unit (LGU) by determining the amount of assets and liabilities as of June 30” and for Giselle Rivera, city accountant and Ann Bautista, city treasurer, together with other members of the Local Finance Committee “to clarify alleged un-reconciled differences” in the balance sheet of the General Fund.

Ocampo, however, lamented the failure of the accountant to attend the July 30 committee meeting due to some reasons and despite the permission of Mayor Edwin Santiago, was hindering the inquiry: “The committee meeting aims to understand the financial position of the local government unit by determining the amount of assets and liabilities as of June 30. However, because of the absence of the accountant, this object was not realized. Members of the Finance Committee present, namely Engr. Fernando Limbitco, city administrator and Eda Panganiban, city auditor were not ina position to answer the questions of the committee particularly on the nature, details and existence of the assets.”

He noted in his report to the plenary that the cash flow from July 1 to December 31 this year, in which the treasurer’s report was indicated as “official” and the accountant’s report as “unofficial,” showed figures which have to be reconciled.

“According to the city accountant and treasurer, the estimated cash balance as of December 31 (net of fixed expenses and contractual obligations) that will be used to finance LGU programs and projects amounts to P188,522,983. Actual cash as of June 30, as the treasurer reported is P360,303,960 but accountant reported that it is P73,783,062. The difference of P286,520,898 has to be reconciled by the treasurer together with the accountant,” Ocampo said.

Ocampo and Councilor Nelson Lingat of Appropriations and vice chair Noel Tulabut also questioned the report that some items and amounts in the balance sheet including advances to contractors and employees, and “significant inventories” of gasoline, medicines, construction materials and office supplies among many others, amounting to P153,236,732.

“Why maintain significant inventories of these? Where are they located? Why give advances to contractors? Why is there a continuous purchase of such items to date?” they asked, with Ocampo further questioning if these would have to be included in the 2014 budget, with the reported significant amount of materials and supplies inventory.

Issues and questions, he added, were also raised as to some recorded liabilities as to their nature and details, and whether these were all recorded as of June 30.

“It was decided per motion of Vice Mayor Jimmy Lazatin that the Finance Committee represented by Limbitco and Panganiban, to task Bautista to confirm the balance of cash recorded in the bank’s books and request for bank statements. Also, Councilor Nelson Lingat mentioned Rivera to explain on her failure to attend the committee meeting and appraise the committee on the financial condition and operation of the city,” furthered Ocampo.

Accountable to Fernandinos

Lazatin, Tulabut and Ocampo told Sun.Star Pampanga that city officials are accountable to the people.

“It is the right of every Fernandino to know about the financial status of the city. Just what will we tell they ask about it? This is the very essence of the inquiry. It must be established soon so we can move ahead with our mandate to serve our constituents,” they said.

Just right

Santiago and Limbitco, meanwhile, branded the inquiry as “just right with proper processes.”

“The City Council inquiry is just right. It is in line with due processes and principles of transparency. Everything will be reconciled, we’re certain of that,” the two officials said.

3 Bacolor village execs killed in ambush

 

 

MABALACAT CITY — The village chief of Barangay Mesalipit in Bacolor and two former councilmen were shot and killed in an ambush in Barangay Bundagul Saturday night, reports said.

Mabalacat City police Chief Ferdinand Perez identified the fatalities as barangay chairman Rodrigo Tongol Lopez and his aides Pedro Canlas Sambo and Merlito Pineda Naguit, who are both former councilmen.

The three victims, who were residents of Madapdap Resettlement Center, were gunned down around 8 p.m. the other day in Barangay Bundagul, police said.

Investigators are still validating reports that the killing had something to do with politics, considering the scheduled barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections this October.

The victims were on their way home on board a village service vehicle when the gunmen, riding a motorcycle, assaulted them.

Witnesses said a car was also tailing the victims’ vehicle before the incident.

According to relatives, nobody filed a certificate a candidacy to oppose Lopez for the position in the upcoming polls.

The suspects used .45 caliber pistols in the ambush, according to police.

Tongol was taken to the Tiglao Medical Foundation Center in Barangay San Joaquin, Mabalacat City where he was declared dead on arrival by Dr. Johnny Michael Mangulabnan.

Pineda and Canlas, meanwhile, were taken to the Feliciano Hospital but they were also declared dead on arrival by Dr. Orgie Feliciano.

Pampanga police Director Oscar Albayalde said he has ordered a manhunt operation against the suspects for their possible arrest.

He has ordered the creation of a task force to identify and arrest the suspects behind the killing.

Condemned

Bacolor Mayor Jomar Hizon condemned the senseless killing of his loyal leaders.

Hizon, in a telephone interview with Sun.Star Pampanga, also appealed to police authorities to identify the suspects and bring them to justice.

He said Lopez was not only a loyal leader, but also a good friend.

Hizon said his senseless killing is a great loss to his constituents, and to the people of Bacolor.

The mayor visited the Lopez family to give his condolences. Aside from giving financial support, Hizon promised the children of Lopez that they will be given scholarship grants to finish their studies.

Hizon, however, said he could not comment as of this time if the killing was election-related.

Hizon also cautioned his barangay chairmen to be extra careful in light of the recent killing. (With Ric Sapnu and Chris Navarro)

Arroyo vows better service in 2nd term in Congress

 

 

ITY OF SAN FERNANDO—Elected for a second term, Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Friday promised to deliver more services to her constituents in the province’s second district despite her weak health and detention on plunder charges.

“You have always served as my inspiration to do more in my work as your representative. I assure you that I shall prioritize legislative measures for your progress and welfare,” the former President said in a statement in Kapampangan. Copies of her statement were distributed after the provincial board of canvassers proclaimed her winner.

It was her first statement to residents in the second district since her visit on July 27, 2012, or two days after a judge allowed her to post bail for an electoral sabotage case.

She was again detained at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center  (VMMC) in Quezon City in October last year for alleged misuse of P325 million in intelligence funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.

She has not left VMMC to file her certificate of candidacy, not even to campaign, cast her vote or attend her proclamation.

Paul Maglalang, her counsel, stood in for her at the proclamation ceremony on Thursday at Benigno Aquino Hall here.

Certificates of canvass received by the provincial board of canvassers from the towns of Guagua, Lubao, Sasmuan, Sta. Rita, Porac and Floridablanca showed Arroyo getting 168,718 votes. Her rival Vivian Dabu of the Liberal Party  polled 18,547 votes, Charlie Chua, 2,235 votes, and Lalah Leoncio, 1,462 votes.

Making no references to her health or her legal predicaments, Arroyo said the faith, trust and courage of her second-district constituents helped her cope with each day.

She said her being proclaimed a winner also honored her father, the late President Diosdado Macapagal.

Local officials said she won because of the many projects she funneled to the district when she was President, the sympathy she generated due to her troubles, and the support of Governor Lilia Pineda.

Allocations to her priority development assistance fund amounted to P15 million in 2010, P30.8 million in 2011, P109.2 million in 2012 and P33.6 million in 2013, online data from the Department of Budget and Management showed.

Also proclaimed on Thursday night were Vice Governor-elect Dennis Pineda, Representatives-elect Oscar Rodriguez (third district) and Joseller Guiao (first district) and the winning provincial board members. Tonette Orejas, Inquirer Central Luzon

American charged for ‘molesting’ children

ANGELES CITY–Police authorities on Tuesday arrested a 54-year old American national for allegedly molesting children.

Steven Wolf, a resident of Barangay Balibago, has been accused of statutory rape and violation of Republic Act 7610 by three minors, aged 10 and 11 years old, who claimed that the foreigner molested them.

The complainants were only identified as Ana, 10, Alice, 10 and Gina, 11(not real names); all pupils of the Sta. Maria Elementary School located at Sta. Maria 1, Barangay Balibago, Angeles City.

Corazon Manansala, principal of the said school, told police in a telephone call the three pupils confided to her their ordeal in the hands of Wolf.

Manansala then reported the matter to police authorities after hearing the complaint of the pupils.
According to the sketchy police report, Wolf committed lewd acts on the victims in the morning of last Tuesday.

Upon receipt of the girls’ complaint, elements of Police Station 4 of the Angeles City Police Office, led by Senior Insp. Felimon Oyan, arrested Wolf in his residence.

Police said two counts of Statutory Rape and abuse of children were filed against the American.
Wolf was brought to the Police Station 4 of Angeles City pending issuance of a commitment order from the court.

The arrest of Wolf came while some members of the city police office were on their way to a five-day seminar on Tourism Oriented Police for Community Order and Protection (TOPCOP) conducted by Department of Tourism (DOT) Undersecretary Ma. Victoria Jasmin of the Tourism Regulation, Coordination and Resource Generation sector (TRCRG).

The DOT has been conducting awareness seminars on Child-Wise Tourism and prevention of abuse against children in places commonly visited by foreign nationals like Cebu, Boracay and Baguio City.

Carjackers’ new modus bared

CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga – Chief Supt. Edgardo T. Ladao, Police Regional Office 3 director, yesterday warned motorists and owners of high-end vehicles to be alert against the new scheme adopted by carjackers.

Ladao said the Pampanga Police Provincial Office led by Senior Supt. Oscar Albayalde uncovered the new “modus operandi” of the suspects after a carjacking incident in Barangay Dau, Mabalacat City on Monday.

Supt. Ferdinand Perez, Mabalacat City police chief, said the new scheme of the suspects is to bump slightly the rear portion of the victim’s car. “Of course the immediate reaction of every car owner is to stop and go out to check the damage of the car’s rear portion,” Perez said.

At this point, Perez said, the suspects have now the chance to approach the would-be victim and announce the carjacking.

He said the new scheme is plain and simple that every car owner should take into consideration before stopping the car.

He said this was the fate of Regino Pingol, 58, married, a supervisor at Casino Filipino in Angeles City and a resident of No. 15, Gate 1, Lucinda St., San Sebastian Village, Tarlac City.

The victim was on his way home driving a Hyundai Accent sedan car (TIM-729) at around 2:30 a.m. when three suspects aboard an old-look car without plate number bumped the rear portion of his car.

Pingol immediately pulled over to see the damage of his car’s rear portion but instead he was met by the suspects, one of them holding a 45 cal. pistol, and with a gun drawn, said “Put@ňg !na mo, mga pulis kami.”
Sensing danger, the victim ran away but he was chased by the armed suspect. The victim tried to hide at a jeep terminal in Barangay Dau but was caught by the suspect.

When he was about to be shot by the suspect, the victim struggled to free himself.
He said the suspect fired his gun in the air before leaving with his companions taking along with them the victim’s car and personal belongings.

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.

 

Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year.  Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times.  Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesn’t have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.

 

Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball.   The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.
