Posted on: January 20th, 2022 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

KALAT na ang Omicron variant ng COVID-19 sa 15 lugar sa Metro Manila base sa resulta ng ‘genome sequencing’ ng Department of Health (DOH).

Hindi naman tinukoy ni DOH Epidemiology Bureau director Dr. Alethea de Guzman ang mga partikular na lugar na nakitaan ng Omicron cases na kanya nang tinukoy na ‘dominant variant’ na sa Kamaynilaan.

“Our latest whole genome sequencing showed that the Omicron variant is now the predominant variant in the National Capital Region,” ayon kay de Guzman.

Bukod sa 15 sa 17 lugar sa Metro Manila, natukoy na rin ang Omicron sa 13 sa 17 rehiyon sa bansa.

Masasabi umano ngayon na ang pagtaas ng mga kaso ng COVID-19 sa bansa ay dulot ng mas nakakahawang Omicron variant, ayon pa kay de Guzman. (Gene Adsuara)

PAGMUMULTAHIN ng Department of Transportation (DOTr) line agencies ang mga drivers at operators ng public utility vehicles (PUVs) kapag napatunayang lumabag sa “no vaccination, no ride policy” sa National Capital Region (NCR), simula araw ng Martes.

Gayunpaman, ang mga traffic enforcers sa ilalim ng ilang local government units (LGU) ay nagsimula nang magpatupad ng “fines and penalties.”

“LGUs are not under DOTr. They are operating and issuing tickets in line with their respective ordinances,” ayon kay Libiran.

Sa ilalim ng LTFRB, sinabi ni Libiran na ang PUV drivers at operators na lalabag sa mandatory vaccination policy ay pagmumultahin ng P5,000 para sa first offense at P10,000 para sa second offense at i- impound ang kanilang PUV sa loob ng 30 araw.

Para sa third offense, ang mga pasaway na drivers at operators ay pagmumultahin ng P15,000 at sususpendihin o kakanselahin ang kanilang prangkisa.

Ang implementasyon ng mandatory vaccination policy sa public transportation ay opisyal na nagsimula, araw ng Lunes sa pamamamagitan ng joint operation ng I-ACT kasama ang PNP at LTFRB sa mga pangunahing lansangan sa National Capital Region (NCR). (Daris Jose)

Willem Dafoe Reveals His Idea for a Sequel to Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker’

Posted on: January 19th, 2022 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

SPIDER-MAN: No Way Home star Willem Dafoe admitted in his interview with GQ, that he’s seriously thought about portraying a version of Batman’s nemesis the Joker in a sequel to Todd Phillips’ Joker.

“There is something interesting about, like, if there was a Joker imposter,” the actor says.

“So it would be possible to have not dueling Jokers but someone that says to be the Joker that isn’t the Joker. And that kind of opens up the possibility of an interesting story, particularly if you had Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, and then you had someone who was either imitating or riffing off what he did.”

Dafoe further explained that he’s “fantasized about” pitching the story as a sequel, but has yet to talk to anybody about the project in an official capacity.

No stranger to playing villainous characters, the actor noted that people have been telling him he’s the perfect man to play the Joker for decades.

However, he’s probably best known among comic fans for portraying Dr. Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man (2002) and Jon Watts‘ No Way Home (2021).

The most recent Spider-Man film saw Dafoe’s Green Goblin being resurrected and pulled into the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse. No Way Home also marked the debut of a new, more comics-accurate Green Goblin mask, which Dafoe recently said came about following criticism of his costume in the Raimi film.

“We heard it enough that it was probably a consideration, to change it up a little bit,” he said.

In his interview with GQ, he spoke about why he seems to be drawn to playing villains, admitting, “I don’t know what that is.”

The actor’s other notable bad guy roles include Bobby Peru in Wild at Heart, Gas in eXistenZ, Max Schreck in Shadow of a Vampire, Donald Kimball in American Psycho, and FBI Special Agent Paul Smecker in The Boondocks Saints.

While Dafoe’s involvement in a future Joker-related project remains uncertain, it was reported after the release of Joker that Phillips had already signed on to direct a sequel.

Phoenix, however, said he didn’t know anything about reprising the role. (source: cbr.com)

Serena Williams bumagsak ang ranking sa WTA

Posted on: January 19th, 2022 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

BUMAGSAK ang rankings ni US tennis star Serena Wiliams sa WTA rankings.

Base sa inilabas na WTA rankings ay nasa pang-59 na puwesto ang 40-anyos na si Williams.

Ito ang unang pagkakataon mula noong 2006 na hindi nakasama sa top 50 ang US tennis star.

Nasa unang puwesto si Ashleigh Barty habang nag-improve naman ang ranking ni Paula Badosa na nasa pang-anim na puwesto mula sa dating pang-67 noong nakaraang taon.

Noong 2021 ay anim na torneo lamang kasi ang nilaro ni Williams matapos ang maagang pagtigil nito sa Wimbledon dahil sa leg injury.
