Panawagan ni Alvarez, pangungutya sa intergidad, propesyonalismo ng AFP, PNP -Año

Posted on: April 19th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MALINAW na pangungutya sa integridad at propesyonalismo ang naging panawagan ni Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez sa Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) at Philippine National Police (PNP) na bawiin ng mga ito ang kanilang suporta mula kay Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

“Both institutions are loyal to the Constitution, the rule of law, the chain of command, and the President as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Insinuations to the contrary are baseless and unfounded,” ayon kay National Security Adviser (NSA) Eduardo Año.

Para kay Año, maituturing na “illegal at unconstitutional” ang ginawang hakbang ng isang public official, lalo pa’t isang high-ranking military reservist.

“It erodes the very foundation of our democratic institutions and undermines the supremacy of civilian authority over the military. Such utterances and actions can be construed as seditious or rebellious and they have no place in our society,” dagdag na wika nito.

Tinuran pa rin nito na ang armed forces sa isang ‘democratic country’ gaya ng Pilipinas ay “neutral at apolitical” at nakatuon sa pagsisilbi sa interest ng bayan.

“Rep. Alvarez, and others who may be similarly inclined, should not drag such respected institutions to serve their partisan agenda or self-interest, even if such calls are made, as he claimed, in a fit of emotion,” ayon sa NSA.

Sa kabilang dako, nanawagan naman si Año sa Department of Justice (DOJ) na masusing rebisahin ang bagay na ito at ikonsidera ang akmang legal na aksyon laban kay Alvarez at iba sa iba pang kahalintulad na indibiduwal.

“His words and deeds are a disservice to our men and women in uniform who risk their lives daily to safeguard our nation’s security, defend us from all manner of threats, and uphold the Constitution,” diing pahayag ni Alvarez.

Samantala, hiniling na ng Philippine Navy kay Alvarez na ipaliwanag nito ang kanyang naging panawagan. (Daris Jose)

Pinas, ipinaabot ang imbitasyon sa Japan na sumali sa Balikatan 2025

Posted on: April 19th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

IPINAABOT ng Pilipinas ang imbitasyon nito sa Japan na magpartisipa sa Balikatan military exercises sa susunod na taon sa pagitan ng mga military ng Pilipinas at Estados Unidos.

Sinabi ni Col Michael Logico, tagapagsalita para sa 2024 Balikatan Exercises, na nagpahayag ng interest ang Japan na sumali sa annual joint exercises mula pa noong Oktubre 2023.

“So we sent an invitation. However, October was really too late for them to commit to any participation aside from sending observers,” ayon kay Logico.

Subalit dahil sa kakapusan ng oras para sa paghahanda, sa halip ay magpapadala na lamang ang Japanese Self Defense Force ng mga observers o mga tagapagmasid para sa Balikatan Exercises ngayong taon na magsisimula sa Abril 22, araw ng Lunes.

“So tama po, mayroong mga observers coming from JSDF, iyong Japanese Self Defense Force. But, I will say as early as now, we are already extending the invitation for Japan to take part in the next Balikatan exercise,” ayon kay Logico.

“So as early as the concept development po, kasama na po iyong representatives from Japan so that we can firm up a wider participation from the armed forces po ng Japan,” aniya pa rin.

Nauna rito, ipinahayag ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na wala siyang pagtutol na isama ang Japan sa taunang Balikatan exercises o military exercises.

Idinagdag pa ng Pangulo na ang partisipasyon ng Japan ay makatutulong na mapanatili ang kapayapaan at katatagan, freedom of navigation at pagsunod sa “totally and completely, and constantly to the rule of international law” partikular na sa United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Samantala, sinabi ni Logico na inaasahan na ang 2024 Balikatan exercises ay magiging “largest ever” na mayroong 11,000 sundalong amerikano at mahigit sa 5,000 sundalong Filipino ang inaasahan na magpapartisipa.

“Mayroon din tayong mga participants from the Australian Defense Force (ADF), more or less, mga 150. And we are expecting the participation po ng Marine Nationale, iyong French Navy. They will be sending a frigate to take part in the multilateral maritime exercises off the coast of Palawan, western portion,” ayon kay Logico.

Kasama rin sa Balikatan Exercises ang iba pang ahensiya ng Pilipinas gaya ng Philippine National Police at e Philippine Coast Guard.

“In the earlier Balikatan which I have been involved din, nag-umpisa po tayo sa mga tactical level exercises, small units focusing on tactics. Ngayon po, when we are already progressing, we are elevating Balikatan to evolve into more at the operational level and also involve other agencies,” ayon kay Logico.

“So, we can categorize this as an inter-agency effort ‘no. So we are—tama po iyon, we are involving also the Philippine National Police, the Philippine Coast Guard because these are also stakeholders when it comes to security, these are all security practitioners. So, aside from coast guard ay mayroon pa diyan – iyong Office of Civil Defense, from the Department of National Defense, some representatives of Department of Foreign Affairs and the DICT,” litaniya nito.

Dream come true na mapasama sa docu-series ng ’24 Oras’: TV heartthrob na si ANJO, puwede nang sumunod sa yapak ni ATOM

Posted on: April 19th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

DREAM come true para kay sa GMA weatheman-turned-TV heartthrob na si Anjo Pertierra nang maging parte siya ng documentary series para sa 24 Oras.

Puwede na ngang sumunod si Anjo sa yapak ni Atom Araullo na isang award-winning documentaries na pang heartthob din ang image.

Mahilig daw talaga ang ‘Unang Hirit’ host na manood ng docu-series ng iWitness, Reporters Notebook, Brigada, at ng 24 Oras.

Kinuwento ni Anjo ang pinaka-intense na istoryang ginawa niyang documentary sa 24 Oras ay tungkol sa climate change. Sa episode ay nagpunta pa si Anjo sa Tondo, Manila, kung saan maraming basura, mainit, at dikit-dikit ang mga bahay.

“Yung kinabubuhayan nila kung saan sila nakatira, pwede silang humingi ng ano e, maayos na buhay, pwede silang humingi ng materyal na bagay. Pero ang hiling ng bata, masayang pamilya lang.

Nakakaantig sobra, kaya parang simula nun, sobrang excited ako every time na gagawa ako ng story for Brigada.”

Inamin din ni Anjo na naging challenge para sa kanya noong nag-uumpisa pa lang paghiwalayin ang emosyon mula sa istorya.

“Natutunan ko na i-filter ‘yung questions na kung personal ba, kung maaapakan ko ba ‘yung emotions that time, kailangan ko kasi i-protect ‘yun e. Kailangan i-protect ‘yung interviewees natin whenever we are asking questions na kailangan may limit tayo.”

MOVING on na si Katy Perry at last season na niya ang maging judge sa ‘American Idol.’

Kasalukuyang nasa gitna nang pag-shoot ng 7th season si Katy. Nagpaalam na raw siya sa dalawang kasam niyang judges na sina Lionel Richie at Luke Bryan.

“I am always emotional on finale, but gosh when this finale comes, I better just tape the false lashes to my face. I’m just trying to make space for other things. It’s not like me ending this show means I’m going to go retire on an island, even though that would be fabulous. I’m gonna go to work,” sey ni Perry na haharapin daw ang tinatapos niyang album na KP6.

Gusto rin daw tutukan ni Katy ang paglaki ng 3-year old daughter nila ni Orlando Bloom na si Daisy Dove.

800 pamilya nasunugan sa Maynila, inayudahan

Posted on: April 19th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

UMAABOT sa 800 pamilya na nabiktima ng sunog kamakailan ang tumanggap ng tulong pinansiyal mula sa Manila City Government.

Mismong si Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna ang nanguna sa pamamahagi ng tig-P10,000 cash aid, kasama si Re Fugoso, na siyang pinuno ng Manila Department of Social Welfare (MDSW).

Ayon kay Lacuna, bagamat hindi kalakihan ang naipagkaloob na tulong pinansiyal ng lokal na pamahalaan, ay umaasa aniya siyang makakatulong ito sa mga fire victims upang makapagsimulang muli.

Sa nasabing okasyon, nagpaabot din si Lacuna ng pag-aalala para sa mga residenteng nasugatan dahil sa sunog. Muling nagpaalala ang alkalde sa mga residente na sa panahon ng sunog, dapat na prayoridad ang buhay at kaligtasan ng bawat miyembro ng pamilya.

Ipinaalala rin ng alkalde sa mga residente na dahil tumitindi ang init ng panahon ay mas malaki ang panganib na magkaroon ng sunog.

Matatandaang tatlong insidente ng sunog ang sumiklab sa Maynila nitong nakalipas na linggo, kabilang na ang mataong lugar ng Parola at Isla Puting Bato.

Ngayong official artist na ng Star Magic: GARY, nais magsilbing inspirasyon sa kabataan at bumalik sa pag-arte

Posted on: April 19th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NAGMARKA ng panibagong career milestone ang kilalang Mr. Pure Energy na si Gary Valenciano matapos niyang pumirma bilang official artist ng Star Magic nitong Martes (Abril 16), kasabay ng pagdiriwang ng kanyang ika-40 na taon sa industriya.

Labis ang pasasalamat ni Gary sa patuloy na tiwala ng ABS-CBN nang mapabilang siya sa Star Magic. Para sa kanya, isa umano itong ‘reinvention’ ng kanyang sarili matapos ang apat na dekada sa showbiz.

Nais naman ni Gary na sa pamamagitan ng Star Magic ay magsilbi siyang inspirasyon sa kabataan.

Aniya, “I am into being able to mentor and spend time with younger people, especially with students. I went to various schools, colleges, and universities where I shared my life, and I am going to continue doing that. I have seen the impact on the hearts of these people, and that’s another thing I wanted to do.”

Maliban dito, inamin din ni Gary na bukas siya sa pag-aarte muli sa harap ng camera. Dagdag niya, “My doors are open for other artistic ventures. Like, I don’t mind going back into acting a bit more. If the right opportunity comes, I will certainly keep myself open to that.”

Sa loob naman ng 20 taon, nagsilbing Kapamilya si Gary bilang multi-awarded host at performer sa longest-running musical variety show sa bansa na “ASAP Natin ‘To,” pati naging boses sa likod ng mga theme song ng mga hit teleserye. Hindi rin matatawaran ang dedikasyon niya sa paghubog ng bagong henerasyon ng Kapamilya performers nang magsilbing celebrity mentor at judge sa talent shows na “X Factor Philippines,” “World of Dance Philippines,” “Your Face Sounds Familiar,” “Idol Philippines” at “Tawag ng Tanghalan.”

Kasabay sa kanyang milestone bilang Kapamilya at panibagong Star Magic artist, lalarga naman si Gary V sa kanyang bigating solo concert na “Pure Energy: One Last Time,” ngayong April 26, 27, 8 PM sa SM Mall of Asia Arena. Magkakaroon din ito ng dagdag pang show sa May 10. Para makabili ng tickets, bumisita sa smtickets.com o i-contact ang tickets@garyv.com para sa ibang katanungan.

Samantala, kasama ang kanyang misis na si Angeli Pangilinan Valenciano pati ang mga anak na sina Paolo at Kiana, pinasinayaan naman nina ABS-CBN COO for broadcast Cory Vidanes, Star Magic head Laurenti Dyogi, at manager na si Alan Real ang naganap na pirmahan. Personal ding nag-abot ng kanilang pagbati sina ABS-CBN president and CEO Carlo Katigbak at chairman Mark Lopez bago ang pagsisimula ng event.

Naghatid din ng tribute performance sina Angela Ken, Khimo Gumatay, JM Yosures, Sheena Belarmino, at Jed Madela, habang nagbigay rin ng kanilang pagbati ang 40 Star Magic artists sa kanilang all-star video message.

Mapapanood muli nang on-demand ang “The Magic of Pure Energy: Gary V Contract Signing” sa YouTube channel ng Star Magic.

Sinabi pa ni Tansingco na tinatanggap niya ang anumang sumbong laban sa mga illegal na dayuhan at mga sexual predators na posibleng nagtatago sa malalayong lugar.

“As part of our #ShieldKids Campaign, we have intelligence personnel joining our caravan to receive information from community members regarding foreign sexual predators and sex tourists that might be plaguing their area,” ayon pa sa BI Chief.

Magbubukas din ng panibagong service caravan sa Baguio sa May 8 at sa Batangas sa June 5. GENE ADSUARA
