Pagsabing inaabuso ang COC substitution, ‘premature’ pa – Palasyo

Posted on: October 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Itinuturing ng Malacañang na “premature” o masyado pang maagang sabihing inaabuso ang probisyon sa Omnibus Election Code na nagpapahintulot ng substitution sa mga kandidatong tatakbo sa eleksyon.

Sinabi ni Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, wala pa naman sa mga nakapaghain na ng certificate of candidacy (COC) para sa 2022 national elections ang napalitan na sa pamamagitan ng substitution.

Si Dela Rosa ang ka-tandem ni Sen. Christopher “Bong Go” na naghain na ng COC sa pagka-bise presidente sa ilalim ng PDP-Laban.

Maging ang partidong Lakas-CMD ay inaming nagpahain din ng mga COC para sa pagka-presidente para sa posible nilang susuportahang presaidential candidate na hindi nakapaghain ng COC noong Oktubre 8.

Ilang mambabatas na ang nagpanukalang repasuhin ang probisyon ng nasabing batas para maiwasang ginagawang katatawanan ang halalan sa bansa at maiwasan ang mga pag-abuso sa paghahain ng COC ng mga “fake candidates” na kalaunan ay papalitan din ng ibang kandidato.

“Hindi ko alam kung saan ang pang-aabuso kasi wala pa namang nagsa-substitute, so siguro po magkakaroon tayo ng conclusion kung meron ngang nag-substitute,” ani Sec. Roque. “So sa ngayon po wala pa namang kahit sinong nagsa-substitute, premature po para sabihing inaabuso.”

‘Quarantine sa mga fully vaccinated na travelers na dumarating sa PH hindi na mandatory’

Posted on: October 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Inanunsiyo ngayon ng Malacañang ang mas pagluluwag pa sa mga fully vaccinated na mga Filipinos at foreign nationals na dumarating sa bansa at nagmula sa tinaguriang green countries.

Ayon kay Presidential spokesman Harry Roque ang mga biyahero mula sa “countries o territories” na nabibilang sa mga low risk sa COVID-19 ay hindi na sasailalim sa quarantine pagdating Pilipinas simula sa Oct. 14.

Gayunman kinakailangan daw ang pagpresenta ng negative RT-PCR test na kinuha sa loob ng 72 oras bago ang pagdating sa Pilipinas.

Nilinaw naman ni Roque na doon sa mga fully vaccinated Filipinos pwede naman sila kumuha ng RT-PCR test sa quarantine facility sa pagdating nila sa bansa hanggang sa lumabas ang negatibong resulta.

Sa kabila ng pagluluwag hinihikayat ng gobyerno ang mga fully vaccinated travelers mula sa abroad na mag-self monitor pa rin sa mga symptoms hanggang sa 14th day.

Sa ilalim kasi ng polisiya ng IAF ang mga fully vaccinated mula sa mga low-risk countries o territories ay inaabisuhan na kumpletuhin ang 10 araw na quarantine matapos ang pagdating sa bansa. (Gene Adsuara)

Mondo Announces ‘The Dune Sketchbook’ Vinyl With 3 Vibrant Movie Posters

Posted on: October 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

A new vinyl version of Hans Zimmer’s Dune soundtrack, ‘THE DUNE SKETCHBOOK: Music from the Soundtrack,” is now on sale.

Alongside the upcoming musical release are 3 new posters for the film, each with its own distinct style. Dune is yet to be released in some of the world’s biggest markets, but has still managed to amass well over $100 million at the box office, making the greenlighting of the Dune sequel increasingly likely.

While the film has been negatively reviewed by some critics, its currently one of the most highly rated releases of this year, and the film’s soundtrack, composed by Zimmer, has come in for particular praise. Zimmer turned down the chance to compose the score for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet to instead score Dune, despite his history working with Nolan. Zimmer has stated that his decision was informed by his love for the Dune books, and that to score a film adaption of Frank Herbert’s novel had been a lifelong ambition.

Now, “THE DUNE SKETCHBOOK: Music from the Soundtrack” vinyl from Mondo is available for purchase. The new posters is also available for order. “THE DUNE SKETCHBOOK: Music from the Soundtrack” is Zimmer’s preferred version of the music for the film, and contains expanded cuts of the tracks used in the soundtrack. Despite having only nine tracks, the vinyl comes in at a total 100 minutes and is spread over 3 vinyl records.

Each of the 3 records represents a different planet from the Dune series: Caldan, Arrakis, and Geidi Prime. The posters each have a unique style and provide their own glimpse into the film.

The first of the posters depicts Paul Atreides in a stillsuit shading his eyes with a crysknife. The second shows a Fremen stood before a giant sandworm with two planets as the backdrop. The third poster shows a group of Fremen traversing the desert across red sand.

The Dune series has amassed an international following since it was first published in 1965, and fans will be keen to get their hands on some new and visually striking art as well as the vinyl album.

While Zimmer’s soundtrack for the film has been roundly praised, the composer hasn’t yet confirmed if he would return for the film’s sequel, if it is greenlit. Further, whether or not he will contribute to the score for the spin-off TV series, Dune: The Sisterhood, is also question, though the series is still in the early stages of its development.

However, it is likely that Zimmer will return for one or the other given that Dune was one of the works he dreamed of scoring, and he would probably be more than willing to continue working on it. Regardless of whether he returns, the soundtrack for Dune stands among Zimmer’s greatest achievements.

Walang fare hike

Posted on: October 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Hindi kinatigan ni Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade ang panawagan ng mga transport groups na magkaron ng pagtaas ng pamasahe sa public utility jeepneys (PUJs).

Ito ang sinabi ni Tugade sa isang panayam na ginawa noong nagkaron ng signing ng memorandum of agreement (MOA) sa pagitan ng DOTr at Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) para sa proyektong “enTSUPERneur.”

“If it is up to me, as of today, I do not want increase in fares because the majority will be affected by that. I am not fighting the few, but I am protecting the many,” wika ni Tugade.

Sinabi rin ni Tugade na ipagpapatuloy niya ang kanyang pananaw at opinyon na walang fare hike na mangyayari ngayon panahon ng pandemya. Marami pa naman na ibang paraan upang matulungan ang mga drivers at operators ng mga PUJs.

Isa na rito ang kanilang inilungsad na proyekto na tinawag na “enTSUPERneur” kung saan ang mga naakpektuhan na mga transport workers ay bibigyan ng pagkakataon na magtayo ng kanilang sariling Negosyo sa pamamagitan ng livelihood assistance at pagbibigay ng financial capital.

Kasama sa programang ito ang pagbibigay ng mga trainings tungkol sa entrepreneurial-related na kaalaman, business management orientation, business capital, micro-insurance at iba pang support at monitoring activities.

“This livelihood assistance program is an addition to the social support mechanism that we have put in place. Similar to the “Tsuper Iskolar” beneficiaries are the drivers and operators who are affected by the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) so that they will be given alternative livelihood,” ayon naman kay Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board chairman Martin Delgra.

May approved na pondo ang proyekto na nagkakahalaga ng P200 million na ayon sa DOTr ay kanilang ibibigay bilang isang benipisyo na nakalaan sa may 6,333 na drivers at operators na mawawalan ng trabaho dahil sa resulta ng local public transport route planning at route rationalization study na ginawa ng LTFRB at Office of Transportation Cooperatives (OTC).

Ayon naman kay DOLE secretary Silvestre Bello kung saan ang DOLE ang magiging lead agency sa nasabing programa, ay bibigyan sila ng pondo mula sa DOTr upang gamitin ito sa pagbibigay ng tulong pangkabuhayan sa mga drivers, mechanics, conductors at operators. Maaari nilang gamitin ang perang ibibigay sa kanila sa pagtatayo ng sari-sari store o iba pang negosyo kung saan sila ay kikita.

Sinabi naman ng Department of Energy (DOE) na nakikipagusap sila sa LTFRB para sa price evaluation na kanilang ginagawa bilang kasagutan sa hiling ng transport sector para sa pagtataas ng pamasahe sa PUJs.

“In case a fare hike will not be possible, the DOE and LTFRB are discussing the computation of possible additional cash aid that may be distributed in place of the fare increase,” saad ni DOE secretary Alfonso Cusi.

Humihingi ang Pasang Masda ng P3 pesos na increase mula sa P9 pesos na pamasahe kung saan ito ay magiging P12 pesos. Pahayag naman ng LTFRB na kung papayagan ang pagtataas ng pamasahe, ang kanilang mabibigay na dagdag ay P1.26 pesos lamang base sa kanilang computation.

“While we are commiserating with jeepney operators and drivers who are plying their routes at only 50 percent capacity, we need to strike a balance because of the crisis by the COVID-19 pandemic,” ayon sa LTFRB. LASACMAR
