Nagpapasalamat sa sumusuporta at nagdarasal… LIZA, nadismaya sa ‘di pagdating ng kabilang panig sa mediation sessions

Posted on: August 16th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

SUNUD-SUNOD ang naging post ni Liza Diño kahapon tungkol sa haharapin niyang mediation sessions para sa cyber libel cases na kanyang sinampa.

Unang post niya, “Attending three mediation sessions today for the cyber libel cases I filed. Kailangan ko ng lakas. Pls pray for me and for the truth to prevail. Thank you sa support (folded hands and heart emoji)”

Paglipas ng isang Oras, muling nag-post si Liza kasama ang photo na kuha sa Justice Cecilia Muñoz-Palma Building ng DOJ, “Lord, let unbiased, impartial truth and fairness prevail. I filed this case dahil naniniwala po ako sa batas. I leave it all up to you (folded hands emoji)”

Kasunod nito ang kanyang special message sa kanyang mahal sa buhay, “Shout out to my love who never left my side. Salamat sa lakas love. I don’t know if I’ve ever said it enough, but you and @Amara are my strength. Thank you and I love you. @Íce Diño Seguerra.”

Sinagot naman ito ni Ice ng, “Hinding hindi ka mag-iisa. Nandito ako palagi sa tabi mo. I love you!”

At pagkaraan nga maraming oras ay nag-update si Liza sa naganap…

“Ang mediation process ay parte ng justice system natin kung saan pinagtatagpo ang dalawang panig para magharap at mag-usap. This should be attended by the parties involved. And not their legal counsels.

“Hindi po madali to mentally prepare for this lalo pa kung ngayon mo lang sila makikita but I attended all three mediation sessions today — 10am, 1pm at 2pm because I respect the process.

“Unfortunately, hindi po dumating ang kabilang panig sa ni isa man sa mga sessions kanina. Lawyers nila ang pumunta and because of this, kailangan na namang magset ng panibagong schedule. Bakit ayaw nyong humarap?

“Ang hirap pala nung pakiramdam na ikaw na yung agrabyado, parang ikaw pa ang nakikiusap na irespeto yung proseso.

“But it is what is. This was after all a choice I made to uphold the truth and I will not give up.

Thank you sa lahat ng nagsend ng prayers and support. It really means a lot.”

Matatandaang nag-file nga ng kaso si Liza last May na kung saan naglabas ng official statement ang kanyang legal counsel na si Atty. Regie Tongol…

“Former Film Development Council of the Philippines chairperson Liza Diño has filed four complaints involving seventy-eight (78) counts of cyberlibel against Philippine Entertainment Portal (Pep.ph) editor-in-chief Jo-Ann Maglipon and Pep.Ph news editor and writer Rachelle Siazon over a series of libelous articles posted on the website of Pep.Ph in 2023.

“Also impleaded in the complaints are various personalities including actor and former FDCP chairperson Tirso Cruz III and the present chairperson of the FDCP, Jose Javier Reyes for their hand in the actions of Pep.ph against our client.”

Aabangan namin ang magiging sagot o statement ng kabilang panig, and hopefully, matuloy na ang paghahanap sa mediation sessions na muling itatakda.

PUMIRMA na ang Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) at iAcademy sa isang memorandum of understanding (MOU) na para gumawa ng mga mural na magpapakita ng mga iconic na pelikula mula sa Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng ika-50 anibersaryo nito ngayong taon.

Sa naturang partnership, ipipinta ng mga mag-aaral ng iAcademy ang mga mural na nagtatampok ng ilang MMFF film posters mula sa nakalipas na 50 taon, na magbibigay sa mga manonood ng makulay at nostalgic na art display, sa kahabaan ng EDSA.

Ayon kay MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes, na nanguna sa MOU signing, ay nagpahayag ng pasasalamat sa iAcademy sa kanilang suporta sa ahensya, na hindi lamang magpapaganda sa mga pader sa kahabaan ng EDSA sa pamamagitan ng likhang sining ng mga mag-aaral kundi makakatulong din sa pagsulong ng 50th edition ng MMFF sa ilalim ng temang “Sine-Sigla sa Singkwenta.”

“We will make EDSA nostalgic through murals of hand-painted movie posters to celebrate the rich history of MMFF,” said ni Artes, citing that the agency is contacting hand-painted movie poster artists to collaborate with the iAcademy students.

Isa sa mga iminungkahing lokasyon para sa mga mural ay sa kahabaan ng EDSA, mula Buendia hanggang Ayala, na humigit-kumulang 653 metro ang haba.

Samantala, ang chief operating officer ng iAcademy na si Raquel Wong ay nagpahayag ng pasasalamat sa tiwala ng MMDA, binanggit dito na ang programa ay,“symbolizes our shared commitment and uses creativity to enhance our public spaces. The artworks of our students will showcase not only their skills but the Filipino life, community, and creativity.”

“We are excited to show that these artworks will inspire and remind everyone of the power of creative collaboration in shaping our urban environment,” pahayag ni Wong.

Ang MMDA ay dati nang nakipagtulungan sa iAcademy, (na isang institusyong pang-akademiko na nag-i-specialize in Computing, Business, and Design) kasama ang Boysen sa isang aktibidad sa pagpipinta ng mural na may temang nakatuon sa kaligtasan sa kalsada, na naaayon sa mandato at adbokasiya ng MMDA.

Kaya hindi mahirap idirek sa ‘Pulang Araw’: DENNIS, tutok sa character kaya nakagugulat ang pag-atake

Posted on: August 16th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

HINDI na raw nahirapan ang GMA resident director na si Dominic Zapata sa pagdirek kay Dennis Trillo sa teleserye na ‘Pulang Araw’ kunsaan gumaganap ang aktor bilang mabagsik na opisyal ng Japanese Imperial Army.

Kilala raw niya si Dennis at ang method nito kapag may role ito na nakaka-challenge sa pagiging aktor nito. Lalo na raw sa ‘Pulang Araw’ na kailangan itong magsalita ng Nihongo sa maraming eksena.

“Working with Dennis for so many years, nakita ko na siya in a variety of roles, kasama na roon ang pagiging kontrabida. Kaya dito sa Pulang Araw, hindi niya nagawang makipag-bonding muna sa mga kasama niya because he really concentrates on his character.

“Nasa isang lugar lang siya and kapag take na, he’s really prepared. Magugulat ka na lang sa performance niya,” sey ni Direk Dom.

Ilan sa mga teleseryeng pinagsamahan nila Dennis at Direk Dom ay Twin Hearts, Mulawin, Darna, Super Twins, Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan, My Husband’s Lover, Hiram Na Alaala, Mulawin Vs. Ravena, at Cain At Abel.

TURNING TO BEETLEJUICE: DIRECTOR TIM BURTON, MICHAEL KEATON, WINONA RYDER AND CATHERINE O’HARA TALK ABOUT WORKING ON THE ICONIC FILM’S SEQUEL “BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE”

Posted on: August 16th, 2024 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

The Juice is loose, Baby!

Back once again in his signature black-and-white stripes, Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) – the trickster demon and shapeshifting bio-exorcist – finds a way back to the Deetz family (particularly Lydia, his one who got away), oozing his signature kind of dead(ly) charm, to create chaos, raise a ruckus, and otherwise just be his ghoulish and ghastly self, in the sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” directed by Tim Burton, with original cast members Keaton, Winona Ryder (Lydia Deetz) and Catherine O’Hara (Delia Deetz) joining newcomers Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, Monica Belluci and Willem Dafoe.

“It’s great when you see people that you haven’t seen for a while, and then you go back into it,” says Burton. “I didn’t realize it’s been like decades. You know, it felt like yesterday, and it’s quite amazing when that happens. It was great. Honestly, it was strangely emotional seeing them all together again. But that’s what made it a special thing.”

After the first movie, released in 1988, there was lots of talk about a sequel and different ideas were thrown out over the years, but nothing really clicked for Burton. “And so, all this time goes by, 35 years, and what really got me interested and excited is… life,” says the acclaimed director. “It’s like, what happened to the Deetz family? You know, it’s 35 years later, what happened to Lydia, this interesting teenager? And so you start to use your own life experience: you’re an interesting teenager. What happens when you become an adult? Do you have children? What are your relationships like? What have you become? Things happen to all of us as we get older and change – relationships, children – all those things. That was the nucleus of it for me that got me back interested in it – what happened to the Deetz family. It was quite emotional for me to revisit these characters.”

In “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,” three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River after an unexpected family tragedy. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid (Ortega), discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem. The sequel’s screenplay is by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Wednesday”), story by Gough and Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith (“The LEGO® Batman Movie”), based on characters created by Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson.

On returning to one of the most iconic characters he’s ever played, Keaton says, “I was nervous, really nervous, because the choice that I made, that was a big leap. It was a risky move that happened to have worked. So then, you think, ‘Oh geez, can I pull that off again after all these years?’ I think there was way more pressure on this one – we didn’t really want to mess this up. I was very nervous about it and me. But we hope we got there. I think we did.”

Of his fellow original cast members, Ryder and O’Hara, Keaton adds, “I was praying they would be back in it; you really need Catherine and Winona. To have them back was really fun. Winona is the sweetest and she just fit right back in… And Catherine’s a pal of mine – this is the third time we’ve worked together. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

For Ryder, who plays Astrid, making the sequel felt “startlingly similar. I don’t want to say even better, but… Well, these are the same characters, but they’re just older. Having been through the first one and the effect that it had, there was pressure in coming back to it, but there was also this complete trust, because it’s Tim. And also, I was going into something really, really brilliant and really special, because I’d been there when I was 15. And that’s all Tim, and that’s all Tim’s heart. His heart is just so fun, and it’s such a beautiful playground of emotion and humor, and everybody lives inside of it. You get to live in it for that time and it’s a really, really beautiful place to be.”

Besides having a lot of fun in the first movie, O’Hara, who plays Lydia’s stepmom Delia, waxes nostalgic for the world of “Beetlejuice” for another special reason. “I met my husband [production designer Bo Welch] on the original, so that’s my first thought when I think, ‘What does that movie mean to me?’” she shares. “He designed the sets for the first movie. And Tim made him ask me out. So, I love them both.” Working with Burton, Keaton and Ryder on the sequel was “so fun! Like no time has passed,” says O’Hara. “It’s got the same great, loose, fun vibe that the first movie had. And that comes from the top… Tim and his great producers, who let him do what he does best.”

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Discovery company, creeps into Philippine cinemas on September 4. #Beetlejuice #Beetlejuice
