Gilas Pilipinas pamatayang 3 sentro – Fajardo

Posted on: June 12th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MAGIGING astig ang gitna ng Gilas Pilipinas para sa 19th International Basketball Federation (FIBA) World Cup 2023 na mga iho-host ng bansa sa pamamagitan ng Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, Japan at Indonesia.

Ito ang nakikita ni veteran internationalist June Mar Fajardo dahil sa trio center ng national men’s basketball team para sa quadrennial hoopfest.

Pinatutumbukan niya sina National Basketball League (Australia)-bound 7-foot-3 Kai Zachary Sotto, newly-naturalized 6-10 Kakou Ange Franck Williams ‘Angelo’ Kouame at US National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1 school (Toledo) at dating Batang Gilas member 6-10 Ariel John ‘AJ’ Edu.

“Malakas ang tatlong iyan,” wika ng six-time Philippine Basketball Association Most Valuable Player na naglalaro sa San Miguel Beer sa 2OT podcast nitong isang araw.

Kinukunsidera pa rin ng SBP ang 31-anyos at 6-10 na sentro buhat sa Cebu na sumabak sa Pinoy quintet sa World Cup, pero iyon aniya ay depende na lang sa kanyang kalagayan kapag dumating ang nasabing panahon.

“Maglalaro ako kasi makaling karangalan, pero depende kung ano ang takbo ng panahon. At kung puwede pa naman akong maglaro,” wakas na wika ni ‘The Kraken’ na beterano na ng dalawang World Cup noong 2014 sa Spain at 2019 sa China. (REC)

Director James Wan Reveals Official Title & New Logo: ‘Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom’

Posted on: June 12th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

DIRECTOR James Wan revealed the official title for the upcoming Aquaman sequel is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

DC’s aquatic hero used to be an easy mark for jokes in pop culture, but that all changed once Jason Momoa was cast as Arthur Curry for the DC Extended Universe.

His roles in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League teased a new take on Atlantis’ rightful king under Zack Snyder’s direction. Once James Wan got his hands on the character for Aquaman, the tone shifted dramatically and made Momoa the star of a wildly fun and entertaining solo movie.

To the surprise of everyone, Aquaman became the DCEU’s biggest success once it was released in December of 2018. The movie earned positive reviews and grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide. This brought Warner Bros. and DC Films to quickly begin working on a sequel with Wan returning to direct.

Aquaman 2 has taken a few years to truly pick up steam ahead of a December 16, 2022 release date. Details on the sequel have been kept under wraps, though, as even the basic premise and official title were not revealed in the past.

Wan has provided an exciting update on Aquaman 2 as the start of filming looms. The director revealed the sequel’s official title on his Instagram: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

This also is the first look at a new logo treatment for the sequel, although it is unclear if this is the final logo. The title and logo reveal comes as Wan is in the middle of a production meeting with others involved in the sequel. He teased that the “tide is rising” with this new information.

Now that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is officially confirmed as the sequel’s title, it shouldn’t be long before more information on it arrives. The cast currently includes the returns of Amber Heard (Mera), Patrick Wilson (Ocean Master), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Black Manta), and Dolph Lundgren (King Nereus), as well as Game of Thrones‘ Pilou Asbaek joining the ensemble.

The screenplay will be written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who co-wrote the screenplay for the first Aquaman, and also co-wrote the story for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.

Aquaman 2‘s title builds off of the story of the first film and is a clear connection to the Seven Kingdoms of Atlantis. The first movie explored the history of the kingdom and what happened once it fell into the ocean. These seven kingdoms include Atlantis, Xebel, Fisherman, Brine, Trench, and Deserters.

These known six kingdoms were featured in Aquaman, and the movie also included a brief reference to a lost seventh kingdom. After Arthur Curry united the remaining kingdoms of Atlantis in Aquaman‘s finale, it appears that the lone kingdom out of his rule will factor heavily into Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Mas maluwag na GCQ sa NCR Plus, possible

Posted on: June 12th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Posibleng ibaba na sa general community quarantine (GCQ) ang National Capital Region (NCR) Plus matapos ang Hunyo 15.

Sinabi ni Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque na ito ay dahil bumubuti na ang sitwasyon ng COVID-19 dito kabilang na rin ang mababang hospital care utilization rate.

Sa Metro Manila umano ay gumanda na ang numero kung saan ang hospital care utilization ay nananatiling mababa na may 53% sa ICU beds na isa sa mga importanteng factor para sa escalation.

Kaya base umano sa numero, ang NCR Plus ay pababa na ang kaso ng virus kaya posibleng hindi na isailalim sa modified GCQ kundi ordinaryong GCQ na lang.

Sa ngayon ang NCR plus na kinabibilangan ng Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite at Laguna ay nananatili sa ilalim ng GCQ with restrictions hanggang June 15. (Daris Jose)

TOM CRUISE, kabilang sa nag-self-isolate dahil sa crew members na nag-positive sa COVID-19; production ng ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ muling na-shut down

Posted on: June 12th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MULING na-shut down ang production ng Mission: Impossible 7 dahil kabilang ang aktor na si Tom Cruise sa nag-self-isolate dahil may ilang crew members ng production na nag-positive sa COVID-19.

Ayon sa Paramount Pictures spokesperson: “We have temporarily halted production on ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ until June 14, due to positive coronavirus test results during routine testing. We are following all safety protocols and will continue to monitor the situation.”

Four dancers and 10 crew members na kasama sa kinunan na nightclub scene with Cruise have now tested positive for the coronavirus: “The whole shooting crew, about 60 people, have all had to self-isolate for 14 days.”

Naging maingat si Cruise na walang magkasakit sa production ng movie. Ayaw kasi niyang muling ma-shut down ang filming. Na-record pa ngang pinagalitan at minura-mura niya ang dalawang crew member dahil lumabag sila sa social distancing protocol sa set.

NI-REVEAL ng mag-asawang Solenn Heussaff at Nico Bolzico na sinimulan na nila ang paggawa sa kanilang dream house.

Nagkaroon na ng groundbreaking sa tatayuan nilang bahay sa tulong ng Mundo Design + Build.

Sey ni Solenn: “You know when you settle down and start having a child you start thinking of a bigger area and an area where you won’t need to go out often. We live in a house but we don’t have a garden so we really want to have our own place… Since I was a kid, I have this dream house and how I want things to be done so we decided to look for a lot and make sure we have enough space for a garden.”

Excited si Nico na masimulan na ang matagal na nilang pinapangarap na bahay.

“This is the first time we’re going to build anything in our life. It’s really a reflection of our marriage because 95% of the decisions were made by her. She did an amazing job about it.”

Importante raw na may garden ang bahay nila para may natatakbuhan at nalalaruan ang anak nilang si Thylane. Mahilig din daw sa halaman si Solenn.

“For us, the garden is important. I know a lot of the houses that are being built nowadays, they take up the entire lot which is something we didn’t want. We want to make sure that there’s a lot of ventilation air coming in and out of the house. Light, a lot of natural light.”

Ang hiling lang ni Nico ay private room niya: “I want my private room so I can take a break.”

BUNTIS na ulit si Nadine Samonte sa ikatlong anak nila ng ng mister na si Richard Chua.

Nasa kanyang second trimester na si Nadine at happy ang dalawang anak nila ni Richard na sina Heather Sloane at Austin Titus sa bago nilang kapatid.

Mukhang enjoy sa pagiging nanay si Nadine kaya mukhang walang plano ito na balikan ang showbiz.

Nagpadala naman ng congratulatory wishes ang ka-batch ni Nadine sa StarStruck na mga nanay na rin tulad nina Yasmien Kurdi, Sheena Halili, Jade Lopez at Cristine Reyes. Pati na rin sina Chynna Ortaleza, Isabel Oli at Charee Pineda.

Malakanyang, nakakakita na ng barometro sa pagbangon ng ekonomiya ng Pilipinas

Posted on: June 12th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NAKAKITA na ang Malakanyang ng isang barometro o senyales na bumabangon na ang ekonomiya ng bansa.

Ito’y matapos manguna ang Pilipinas sa iba pang bansa sa Asya sa aspeto ng pag e- export nitong Abril.

Sinabi ni Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque gamit ang datos ng Philippine Statistics Authority na tumaas ang export ng bansa sa buwan ng Abril na umabot sa 72. 1 percent.

Mula sa 3.32 billion dollars noong Abril nang nakaraang taon ay umakyat ito ng 5.71 billion dollars ngayong April 2021.

Malinaw na nalampasan na ng Pilipinas ang Japan na nakapagtala ng 38% sa exports habang 32.3% naman ang nai- record ng China.

“Samantala, magandang balita naman po: Tumaas ang ating exports noong buwan ng Abril by 72.1% ayon po sa datos ng Philippine Statistics Authority,” ayon kay Sec. Roque.

“Ito ang pinakamataas sa mga ekonomiya sa Asya, nalampasan natin ang 38% ng Hapon at 32.3% ng bansang Tsina. Mula US, 3.32 billion noong April 2020, ito’y naging 5.71% billion ngayong April 2021. Ito ay matapos pinayagan natin ang one hundred percent operating capacity kahit na tayo ay nasa Enhanced Community Quarantine; hudyat ito ng pagbangon ng ating ekonomiya,” dagdag na pahayag nito.

PANUKALANG BATAS PARA sa NO-CONTACT TRAFFIC APPREHENSION, INIHAIN NA!

Posted on: June 12th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Inihain na ni Sr. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Doy C. Leachon, ang HB9368 na may titulong “An Act Regulating the No-Contact Apprehension Policy in the Implementation of Traffic Laws, Ordinances, Rules and Regulations”

Kinikilala nito ang kahalagahan ng no-contact apprehension sa pagdi-disiplina ng mga drivers para sa kaayusan ng daloy ng trapiko, habang binibigyan din ng proteksyon ang mga motorista laban sa maaring pagabuso nito.

Ilan sa mga panukala ay ang mga sumusunod:

Area of Operation

No Traffic Authority may implement a no-contact apprehension without informing the public of the area of operation. Kung sakaling may higit sa isang traffic authority ang may jurisdiction sa isang lugar dapat mapag-usapan nila ito at magkasundo na “ISA LANG” ang magpapatupad nito. Hindi rin pwede na dalawang huli ( no-contact at personal na huli ng enforcer) sa same na violation. Maaring ipakita ng violator na natikitan na siya ng enforcer para hindi madoble ng no-contact.

Notice of Violation

The notice of violation must be sent to the registered owner or operator within seven (7) days from the time of infraction.

Mahalaga ito dahil sa ngayon ay inaabot ng ilang buwan bago makarating ang notice of violation sa registered owner o operator ng sasakyan. Nakasaad din sa notice ang mga sumusunod:

Date time and location of the traffic violation.
Traffic violation and penalty
Video file/ still images of the violations that shows the plate number or conduction sticker of the vehicle.

At ang isang mahalagang due process mechanism na:

Date time and place of the hearing of the traffic violation.

Ang notice ay magsisilbing summons kayat dapat tanggapin ito pag may refusal to receive ay deemed served na ang summons. Pag natanggap ang notice ay kailangan umatend sa hearing ng isang Traffic Adjudication Board ang registered owner at ang actual driver upang aminin o i contest ang violation. Kung hindi makapupunta ang driver ay maaaring mag pasa ng affidavit.

Traffic Adjudication Board

Ito ang Board na didinig sa mga kaso ng no contact apprehension kung i-contest man ng may ari o driver.

Renewal

Sa sec 10 ng panukalang batas ay isinaad dito na hindi ang rehistro ng sasakyan kung hindi ang lisensya ng pasaway na driver ang maapektuhan sa renewal.

Renewal. Except as provided under existing laws, the payment of fines and penalties for traffic violatiins under the No Contact Apprehension IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR RENEWAL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION OR FRANCHISE. HOWEVER, THE PAYMENT OF FINES AND PENALTIES IS A REQUIREMENT FOR RENEWAL OF A DRIVERS LICENSE.

Maraming car owners na nabayaran na ang penalty ay hindi pa rin makarehistro dahil sa hindi updated ang system ng nagpapatupad ng no-contact at LTO.

Bayad ka na. Di ka pa makarehistro. Hindi rin ito laban sa mga taxi driver na tulad ng sinabi ng isang grupo, dahil hindi lang sa taxi driver ito ipatutupad kundi sa lahat ng may driver’s license. Ang traffic violation ay personal sa driver at hindi pwedeng ipasa sa may ari. Pag ganoon aba ay wala nang katatakutan na violation ang mga pasaway na driver dahil hindi sila ang mamumultahan.

Sangayon ang Lawyers for Commuters Safety and Protection (LCSP) sa panukalang ito. Hihintayin natin na may magpanukala din nang ganito sa Senado.

NCR Plus, posibleng bumaba sa GCQ with relaxed restrictions matapos ang Hunyo 15

Posted on: June 12th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MALAKI ang posibilidad na bumaba sa General Community Quarantine (GCQ) with relaxed restrictions ang NCR Plus matapos ang Hunyo 15.

Ang basehan ani Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque ay ang bumubuting situwasyon ng COVID-19 sa lugar kabilang na ang “low” hospital care utilization rate.

“For Metro Manila, the numbers are looking good. The hospital care utilization remains very low, we’re at 53 percent in ICU beds which is isa sa mga importanteng factor for escalation,” ayon kay Sec. Roque.

“So I would say in fact that based on the figures, Metro Manila Plus might be looking at a deescalation. It might not be to MGCQ [modified GCQ] but it could be ordinary GCQ because ang GCQ natin ngayon ay meron pang mga restrictions,” dagdag na pahayag nito.

Ang NCR na kinabibilangan ng Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, at Laguna ay nananatili sa ilalim ng GCQ with restrictions hanggang June 15.

Bago pa ito, ang NCR Plus ay sumailalim sa GCQ “with heightened restrictions” mula May 15 hanggang May 31 kung saan ang galaw ay limitado sa essential travel habang ang indoor dining services ay bumaba sa 20 percent capacity.

Ang mga establisimyento na mayroong leisure-like venues para sa mga meetings ay nauna nang pinagbawalang magbukas.
