Napa-OMG dahil sa sariling wax figure: LEA, pang-apat na Pinoy celeb sa Madame Tussauds Singapore

Posted on: June 11th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MAGKAKAROON na ng kanyang sariling wax figure sa Madame Tussauds in Singapore ang Filipino international star na si Lea Salonga.

 

 

 

Deserve ni Lea ang pagkilalang ito dahil siya ang kauna-unahang Filipino na manalo ng Tony Award para sa ‘Miss Saigon’. Tinanghal din si Lea bilang isa sa Disney Legends. Aktibo pa rin si Lea sa pag-perform on New York’s Broadway and London’s West End.

 

 

 

Sa Instagram account ng Madame Tussauds, naka-post ang photos at video nang pagkuha nila ng tamang measurements ng mukha at katawan ni Lea. Pati na ang pagkuha sa tamang skintone ng singer-actress.

 

 

 

“Shining, Shimmering, Splendid! The legendary Lea Salonga will have her very own wax figure in Madame Tussauds Singapore! Are you as excited as we are?” ayon sa caption.

 

 

 

Sey ni Lea: “When my manager said this is happening; that Madame Tussauds is interested in turning me into a wax figure, I was like ‘Oh, my God!’ It’s an absolute honor and privilege. It’s fantastic! I’m super delighted to be joining Madame Tussauds to get my very own wax figure. Are you ready?”

 

 

 

Si Lea ang ika-apat na Filipino celebrity na magkaroon ng wax figure sa Madam Tussauds in Singapore. Una ay si Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, pangalawa ay si Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao at pangatlo ay si Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.

NAGKOMENTO ang beteranang aktres na si Pilar Pilapil tungkol sa mga kabataang artista ngayon na napansin niyang hindi naghahanda kung minsan pagdating sa mga linya ng kanilang eksena.

 

 

 

“Some of them are good though. Ang problema ko lang kung minsan hindi sila masyadong nagfo-focus sa lines nila. Like for instance, before I go to the set, I prepare myself… as far as the role is concerned, and I really, really prepare my dialogues and all of that. You have to be able to be prepared in every way,” sey pa ng bagong kontrabida sa teleserye na ‘Abot-Kamay Na Pangarap.’

 

 

 

May ilang mga batang artista siyang nakakatrabaho na tila hindi pa kabisado o saulado ang mga linya pagdating sa shooting.

 

 

 

“Minsan kinakausap ko ‘yan. Privately lang. Kinakausap in the sense na, I make it come out like it’s an advice,” sey pa ni Pilar.

BINABAWI ng Howard University ang honorary degree na binigay nila sa rapper na si Sean “Diddy” Combs dahil sa kinakasangkutan nitong sexual assault lawsuits.

 

 

 

Ibabalik din ng university ang $1 million contribution ni Diddy para sa tinatag nitong scholarship.

 

 

 

 

Ayon sa statement ng HU: “The Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to accept the return by Mr. Sean Combs of the honorary degree conferred upon him in 2014. The decision revokes all honors and privileges associated with the degree. Mr. Combs’ behavior as captured in a recently released video is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor.“

 

 

 

Six women na ang nag-file ng kaso laban kay Diddy dahil sa ginawa nitong sexual assault and harassment.

Experience The Best Of British Theater A Second Time Around with New CCP NTL Season

Posted on: June 11th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

A bigger, brighter, and bolder second season of the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ National Theatre Live (CCP NTL) is set to delight its devoted Filipino audiences with a new lineup of world-class stage plays filmed live from Britain’s most exciting stages.

 

 

 

After a successful first season boasting waves of support from theater enthusiasts, playwrights, artists, and the broader public, the CCP National Theatre Live forges on to provide yet another exceptional ‘live’ performance experience with the best of what British theatre has to offer in more cinemas near you.

 

 

 

Through the partnership of the CCP with National Theatre Live and Ayala Malls, the second season of CCP NTL will premiere at Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati, Vertis North in Quezon City, and at the Ayala Center in Cebu from June 25, 2024 to May 27, 2025.

 

 

 

Award-winning plays Vanya, Dear England, The Motive and Cue, and Nye will grace the big screens in the Philippines.

 

 

 

Crowd favorites Fleabag, King Lear, Frankenstein, and Hamlet from the past season will make their comeback.Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in Vanya, a one-man adaptation premiering on June 25 at the Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati. Exploring the complexities of human emotion, Andrew Scott brings multiple characters to life in Chekhov’s Uncle masterpiece, filmed live in West End, London.

 

 

 

Returning on June 25 at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu is Fleabag, a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series with the same title was filmed live on stage in London’s West End in 2019.

 

 

 

 

On July 30, James Graham’s Dear England arrives at the Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati. With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt, to take the team and country back to the promised land.

 

 

 

 

The contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play King Lear will be re-screened on July 30 at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu. Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees two aging fathers – one a King and another, his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends. The play is directed by Jonathan Munby and stars Sir Ian McKellen.

 

 

 

 

Witness the magic of London National Theatre through CCP National Theatre Live. First launched in June 2009, the National Theater Live is a groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre live from the London stage to cinemas across the United Kingdom, around the world, and now in the Philippine shore.

 

 

 

 

Digitally filmed in high-definition quality, the NTL films their plays in front of live theater audiences, but optimized for the big screen and made accessible to theater fans across the globe.

 

 

 

 

All screenings will be at 6:00pm, exclusively at Ayala Malls cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati, Vertis North in Quezon City, and at the Ayala Center in Cebu. Regular ticket price is at ₱300.00 in Makati and Cebu, and ₱350 in Vertis North, while special ticket price for students is at ₱150.00.

Survivors, medical organizations empowered against cervical cancer at ‘Di Mo DeCerv event

Posted on: June 11th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

More Filipinos need knowledge about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer.

 

Cancer survivor and former athlete and coach Belay De la Cruz-Fernandez said as much during her talk at a recent cervical cancer awareness event, titled “Cervical Cancer: Di mo DeCerv.”

 

“I recalled seeing billboards by the Department of Health from before, saying “magpabakuna laban sa HPV.” We didn’t know what HPV was, but the information was out there! If I had understood it then, maybe things would have been different. While I’m still grateful to be able to talk about my experience, let’s remember that 12 Filipinas die from cervical cancer every day,” Belay said, emphasizing further that this matter needs to be prioritized.

 

Belay was one of the panelists at this milestone event that brought together medical organizations, patient communities, and the public in a shared mission to combat cervical cancer in the Philippines.

 

Celebrity and influencer Andi Manzano-Reyes, another panelist, discussed how her advocacy to raise awareness around cervical cancer was inspired by her mother, a survivor herself. “My mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer ten years ago, which is why I became an advocate to encourage people to get vaccinated,” she said. Andi, a mother to three daughters, expressed that she making sure that her children get immunized against HPV-related diseases, too.

 

In line with this, the ‘Di Mo DeCerv event also spotlighted the availability of HPV vaccines in local pharmacies to promote better access to immunization against HPV-related diseases. This development opens up new avenues for individuals to get preventive care in familiar community settings.

 

“With pharmacies serving as accessible hubs for healthcare services, individuals can now easily incorporate HPV vaccination into their routine visits. We are removing potential barriers such as transportation issues or scheduling constraints,” said Makati Medical Center Pharmacy Services Department Head Hazel Docuyanan.

 

The event also saw the support of medical organization partners including Maxicare, Makati Medical Center, Mercury Drug, Life Saver, Hello Doctor, SouthStar Drug, Juan Medical, Travertine, CerviQ, Vaxcen, Kindred, JCI, and ZP Therapeutics, who all helped promote public health awareness and broad access to HPV vaccination and education.

Biopharmaceutical company MSD in the Philippines, who spearheaded the event, shared that they will continue their ongoing initiatives to support vaccination drives, improve access to screening services, and launch public education campaigns aimed at reducing the incidence of cervical cancer.

 

These efforts are in line with the World Health Organization’s 90-70-90 initiative to eliminate cervical cancer: where 90% of girls are fully vaccinated with the HPV vaccine by the age of 15; 70% of women are screened using a high-performance test by the age of 35, and again by the age of 45; and 90% of women with pre-cancer are treated and 90% of women with invasive cancer managed.

 

Awareness and action events like ‘Di Mo DeCerv continue to urge Filipinos to become advocates for positive change within their communities, and to continue the fight against cervical cancer for a healthy Philippines.

 

Migz Zubiri, binigyan ng misyon ni Pope Francis: ‘Protektahan ang pamilyang Pilipino’

Posted on: June 11th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MAY pakiusap si Pope Francis kay dating Senate President Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri noong bumisita siya sa Vatican nitong ika-5 ng Hunyo.
Sa pahayag ni Zubiri na binigyan ng misyon ng 87 years old na Santo Papa, “Pinakiusapan ako ni Pope Francis to ‘protect the family,’ at isasapuso ko ang sinabi niyang ito.”
Nakita ni Zubiri, na isang debotong Katoliko ang Santo Papa noong lingguhang katekismo nito, kung saan nag-aalay rin siya ng mga dasal para sa kapayapaang pandaigdig.
Ang Pilipinas ang huling bansa sa mundo na hindi kumikilala sa diborsyo. Isang panukalang magsasabatas ng diborsyo ang naaprubahan na ng Kamara.
“Ipinagdasal namin ang ating mahal na bansa at ang ating mga lider, na sana ay maliwanagan palagi sa tamang desisyon, kahit hindi ito ang popular na desisyon,” sabi pa ni Zubiri.
Dati na niyan nasabi na bukas siya sa diskusyon, pero malakas ang kanyang paniniwala sa kabanalan at katibayan ng kasal.
Nagkaroon rin ng pagkakataon ang senador na maipakilala ang kanyang pamilya sa Santo Papa. Ilan lamang sila sa mga piling bisita na nabigyan ng pagkakataon na makilala at makatanggap ng personal na basbas mula sa Santo Papa.
“Bilang Katoliko at Kristyano, greatest honor of my life na makita ang ating Santo Papa na si Lolo Kiko, lalo na at nakasama pa namin ang aming mga anak,” pahayag pa ni Zubiri, na may tatlong batang anak sa kanyang asawang si Audrey.
Si Zubiri ay nasa Europa para magkaroon ng “short sabbatical away from politics,” at para makasama ang kanyang pamilya para sa “long-promised quality time.”
“First time ito in two years na nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataon na ibigay ang buong atensyon ko sa aking pamilya, kaya talagang gusto kong ipasyal sila para sa aming family time—all on my personal expense, of course,” say pa ng senador.
“Napakahalaga sa aming pamilya ng aming Catholic faith, kaya very humbling na matanggap ang oras at atensyon ng Santo Papa. Mukhang natuwa pa siya sa bunso namin, na sinabihan pa niyang mag-aral ng Spanish.”
Sa kanilang pagkikita, ipinaliwanag ni Zubiri sa Santo Papa na isa siyang pro-life at pro-family na mambabatas mula sa Pilipinas.
Sagot ng Santo Papa, “please protect the family.”
“Napaka-special ni Lolo Kiko sa ating mga Pilipino, at na-feel ko na special rin tayo sa kanyang puso, bilang isa sa mga pinaka-Katolikong bansa sa mundo,” sabi ni Zubiri.
“Palagi kong tatandaan ang kanyang paalala, at gagawin ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya para protektahan ang mga family values na pundasyon ng ating bansa.”
Kasama nina Zubiri sa kanilang bisita ang Philippine Ambassador to the Holy See na si Ambassador Myla Grace Ragenia Macahilig.
