as Ang Tanging Family Valentine at the MOA Arena on Feb. 16, with Wally and Jose as special guests. She is currently shooting a movie for international release, Kung Fu Divas, where she shares stellar billing with Marian Rivera and is also set to renew her contract as a certified Kapamilya. Meanwhile, watch for a bigger, better Pilipinas Got Talent 4, where Ai-Ai is one of the judges, on ABS-CBN primetime very soon. The Year of (Water) Snake is proving lucky to Ai-Ai.
Gerald Anderson is being tagged as Tuhog King because hes deemed to have strung together three friends (as chefs do with barbecue) Kim Chiu, Sarah Geronimo and Maja Salvador. Even if there was something between Gerald and Kim, it was more a network gimmick to tickle the imagination of fans (the Kimeralds, right?). Besides, it seemed obvious that Kim was more in love with Gerald than the other way around. Then, the split, with poor Kim crying a river. When they did a movie together, Gerald was reported to be eyeing Sarah in an imagined ideal romance nipped in the bud by Sarahs strict parents who suspected that Gerald has a non-showbiz girlfriend from Cebu. Now come Gerald and Maja who have both admitted that, yes, they were together (with a group daw) on a weekend holiday at the elite Misibis resort in Albay, the same place where Zac Efron spent a few
(Postscript: A DPA said that Geralds true love is non-showbiz who is an Economics Major? From what school? The DPA was mum.)
days when he was here late last year. On The Buzz last Sunday, Gerald admitted being smitten (who wouldnt be?) by Maja and, given the chance, he would court her because, after all, hes single and so is Maja (who has broken up with Matteo Guidicelli). Meanwhile, Kim felt betrayed because Maja happened to be the friend on whose shoulder she cried every time Kim and Gerald had an LQ (Lovers Quarrel). But pray, whats wrong if Gerald and Maja do get together when theyre not stealing other peoples partners (never mind if 2013 is The Year of the [Water] Snake)? Who benefits from this merrygo-round? Yes, of course, the ABS-CBN soap Ina Kapatid Anak which is topbilled by Kim and Maja. (You deduce your conclusion from that.)
Curtain-Raisers:
Sad to learn that a popular (and quite controversial) young singer has started selling some of her properties, including a car and a vacation house somewhere near Metro Manila. Has she, like most of us, started to feel the economic pinch? Or is it a sign that her marketability and popularity are going down? If so, she has nobody to blame but herself for letting fame and fortune weigh her down. Or is it fates way of knocking her back to her senses (after she kind of rejected her Filipino-ness)? The family of a pretty show host must have (even grudgingly?) given its blessing to her May-December romance with a co-host twice her age. You see, every time theres a family gathering, her father would replay the episode many years ago when she competed in a kiddie contest on the show she and her beloved are now hosting. As soon as the precious videotape starts rolling, she very quietly slips out of the room, leaving the family members with amused smile on their faces. How can you tell if a couple (take note, in quotation marks) is straining hard to make the public believe that whatever it is between them is for real (and not, actually, for show)? Well, they resort to PDA (Public Display of Affection) by making sure that they are seen having lunch or dinner at a popular A-list restaurant, holding hands in public, being lovey-dovey when people are looking or posting their pictures on Facebook during their private moment on the beach. Name the culprits? You can easily spot them, cant you? @TheFilamInsider www.facebook.com/filaminsider

SENATOR Teofisto Guingona yesterday appealed to the Supreme Court to impale the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 or Republic Act No. 10175 which he dubbed as cyber-Dracula. He made the appeal during oral argument before the High Tribunal on the various petitions questioning the constitutionality of the anti-cybercrime measure. Guingona argued that the cybercrime law contains fangs that instill fear in the peoples hearts, threatening to suck the life out of our freedom of speech and expression. We ask the highest Court of the land to impale the law of its ghostly provisions with the stake of reason. As cyber-Dracula lies helpless in its sleep, we plead for the final decisive action to banish our anger, anxiety, and fears altogether, he told justices. We fear that this law gives the State unlimited powers to invade our lives, intruding into spheres long protected by constitutional rights. We are anxious that it will limit our rights to ventilate matters of public concern and interest, especially matters of importance to us, which involve law. This is unplowed ground for all of us legislators. Any attempt at examining the regulations written in the law are welcome because they expand knowledge and awareness in people. he said. Angara filed Senate Bill 3315 filed last October amending some provisions of the Cybercrime Law. However, the senator said that he would await the decision of the courts before setting a public hearing in the Senate to discuss the proposed changes. The amendatory bill repeals the higher penalties for online crime, puts in the requirement of a court order for the takedown of suspected websites, and strengthens the exclusionary rule providing that seizure of evidence should adhere strictly to lawful procedures, he said. The Supreme Court would have the final say on the matter of the TRO (temporary restraining order). I am still optimistic, though, that the SC would uphold the measure as a whole provided that we change the problematic provisions. I am confident that they will see that this law is truly necessary to protect the millions of legitimate Internet users in our country, said Angara. @TheFilamInsider

transparency, accountability, and people participation, Guingona said. He added: We are angry because we have always trusted that laws are for the good of persons and society. The Cybercrime Prevention Act is a law that threatens and assaults our fundamental Constitutional right to speak, our right against unreasonable searches and seizures, our right against double jeopardy, and our right to be accorded equal protection of the laws. Meanwhile, Sen.Edgardo Angara, the primary author of the measure, welcomes any changes to the Cybercrime Act. Cyberspace, and the Internet in general is an entirely new field especially in

ONE reason why Temptation of Wife clicks with viewers is the fact that Glaiza de Castro is so effective as the villainous Heidi. We know she didnt want to play kontrabida again after she did lead roles in Grazilda and Biritera but Glaiza made the right decision in accepting the Heidi role as its really so markado and she can show her versatility as an actress who can do both lead and villain roles. To think that the role was originally offered to Alessandra de Rossi, who
turned it down. This is definitely a better role than the role now played by Alex as Christopher de Leons mistress in Pahiram ng Sandali. Alexs loss is definitely Glaizas gain. I admit I really had second thoughts about my role but then, I realized okay lang kasi Marian Rivera naman ang susuportahan ko, says Glaiza. Now, Im thoroughly enjoying my role as Heidi and Im so flattered when people see me in public and reprimand me for being so mean to Angeline, Marians character. Inaaway nila talaga ako. It only means Im doing my role well. But now na bumalik na si Angeline as the avenging Chantal, matutuwa na ang viewers kasi mag-uumpisa na ang paghihiganti niya sakin at kay Dennis Trillo as Marcel. How about the rumor that shes the one who replaced Bianca King in Dennis heart? Natatawa nga ako, nagkadevelopan daw kami ni Dennis sa show. Its not true. Kung mangyayari yan, dapat noon pa sa Biritera where we both played lead roles.

Name it, Anne Curtis has done it. She has proven her worth as an actress, a concert artist, TV host and product endorser. Her face has launched a thousand products and shows. Her love life is also in full bloom. She can rest on her laurels if she wants to, but Anne still has so much fire in her belly. Shes set to appear in ABS-CBNs new teleserye, Kailangan Koy Ikaw (premieres Jan. 21, 9 p.m.), where she will be in an unusual love triangle with Kris Aquino and Robin Padilla. We had a chat with Anne recently: Whats it like working with Kris and Binoe? Kris and I have been close since we worked together in Hiram. I love listening to her stories. We are so comfy with each other. But I was wary about our scenes where I had to slap her. Parang di ko kaya, so I asked her permission muna At first, I was awkward around Binoe. I had worked with him in Tulak ng Bibig but I had a small role there. Now hes my leading man. When he told me that we should make our love scenes as realistic as possible, na-relax na ako. Mas todo ako dito in terms of my confrontation scenes with Kris, and love scenes with Binoe. 2012 was good to you. How do you intend to outdo yourself this year? It wasnt a quick rise to fame for me. Im so thankful that my patience has paid off. Tanggap lang ako nang tanggap ng roles dati to hone my skills. I dont like planning; I just go with the flow. Im not pressuring myself to top 2012. Still, Im claiming that 2013 will be a very good year. Deadma na lang to my detractors and to negative vibes. If a project clicks, that would be cherry on top. If it doesnt, Ill just have to strive harder.

If I could do a repeat of my concert, I hope to fill up the Mall of Asia Arena the way I did Smart Araneta. Itutuloy ko ang pagtayo ng bandera ng mga nonsingers like me who love to sing. Im excited for my movie, The Gifted, which is a dark comedy. You have to watch it to find out in what way am I gifted. Do you now have a formula for success? I just keep reinventing myself. Im lucky that I now have a say in the roles that I play, and in the script. I told Boss Vic (del Rosario, her business manager) that I dont want to do young-mother roles yet. After the success of No Other Woman, it would be too drastic for me to portray a mom. But in (the TV series) Kailangan Koy Ikaw, my character Ruth has to deal with kids who are not her own. How are things going between you and Erwan (Heusaff)? Ive never been happier. Weve been together for three years and were going strong. Im a very supportive girlfriend. I accompany him to his triathlon events. When fans want to have pics taken with me, I tell them, Sorry Im here as the girlfriend of Erwan and not as Anne Curtis. When he trains, we hardly see each other but I understand. I may go into triathlon myself, should my schedule permit. Whats important to him is important to me, too. I love how he cooks healthy meals for me. Like any couple, we fight but not to the point of breaking up. Hes the boyfriend Ive been with the longest, with no onand-off periods. I guess it comes with maturity. If Erwan asks me to marry him and I feel the time is right, Ill go for it. But were not rushing; we still have many dreams to fulfill.

new inCome & eState taXeS UnDeR ameRiCan taXpayeR Relief aCt of 2013
By Roman P. Mosqueda, B.S., LL.B., LL.M., & S.J.D. On January 3, 2013, President Obama signed the fiscal cliff bill into law: The American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), in his vacation house in Hawaii, using an autopen and averting going over the cliff for good and for bad. Increases In Income Tax And Capital Gains and Dividends Rates: ATRA retains the individual income tax rates for the majority of taxpayers: 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33% and 35%, but adds the new rate of 39.6% for the following income levels of: (1) $225,000 for married taxpayers filing separately; (2) $400,000 for single taxpayers; (3) $425,000 for head of household taxpayers; and (4) $450,000 for married taxpayers jointly filing. In addition, the capital gains and dividend rates remain at 15% in 2013 for taxpayers in the 25%, 28%, 33% and 35% income tax rates, but ATRA adds the new maximum rate of 20% for the aforesaid income levels to which the top 39.6% income tax rate applies. Moreover, effective January 1, 2013, the 3.8% Medicare surtax on net investment income under the Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) applies to the following income levels: (1) $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly; (2) $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separately; and (3) $200,000 for all other individual taxpayers. For individual taxpayers, the 3.8% Medicare surtax is based on the lesser of: (1) net investment income, or(2) the amount by which the modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds the threshold amount in the tax year. ATRA begins the personal exemption phase out, as well as the itemized deduction phase out in 2013 at various adjusted gross income thresholds from $250,000 for single taxpayers to $275,000 for head of household taxpayers to $300,000 for married and jointly filing www.FilAmInsider.com taxpayers. 8 Notably, the itemized deduction phase out includes mortgage interest, property taxes, state and local income taxes, and charitable contributions, estimated to result in loss of up to 80% of itemized deductions. Alternative minimum tax (AMT) rules are implemented in ATRA, made retroactive to January 1, 2012. Exemptions for 2012 are the sums of $50,600 for individuals and $78,750 for married taxpayers filing jointly, and will be indexed for inflation in the future years. Estate, Gift, And Generation Skipping Transfer Taxes: ATRA makes permanent in 2013 and thereafter the rules governing estate taxes, gift taxes, and generation skipping transfer taxes under the Tax Relief Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (TRUIRJCA), but increased the maximum rate for each of these taxes from 35% to 40%. It also makes permanent the portability of the estate tax exemption between married couples, that is, the ability to use a deceased spouses unused exclusion amount. TRUIRJCA unified these taxes and provided for inflation indexing beginning 2012. Consequently, under ATRA, the 2013 exemption for each of the estate, gift, and generation skipping transfer taxes is $5,250,000, $130,000 more than the exemption in 2012, instead of going back to the 2002 exemption of $1,000,000.

Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes will walk down the aisle as theyre from Year of the Rat and Year of the Dragon and this is the perfect time for them to marry.

Rhian Ramos will be afraid to fall in love again.To all these predictions, our reaction is: Mwahahaha!Their only prediction that came true is a top comedian will die, but theyve been predicting that annually since a few years back.

Enchong Defends who Could Sarah geronimo mean by womanizer? maja against Bashers
MANILA, Philippines -- Actor Enchong Dee defended his close friend Maja Salavador against bashers and media over photos that circulated in the Internet showing the actress vacationing with actor Gerald Anderson in a high-end resort in Albay. Anderson is the ex-boyfriend of actress Kim Chiu, who stars with Salvador and Dee in the hit primetime series Ina Kapatid Anak. While Chiu was quoted as saying that their friendship has been affected by the reports of a possible AndersonSalvador romance, Dee believes its not fair to say the two women are fighting over one man and that this will affect the atmosphere at the set. I think its not healthy na sabihin na mayroon silang friction dahil lang, because of, isang tao at I think hindi enough reason yon para pagawayan, Dee said In an interview on Tuesday during the press conference for their soap. Dee also believes the two actresses will weather this storm because of their long friendship. Yung pagkakaibigan nila na naipon, hindi yon basta mawawala www.FilAmInsider.com dahil 10 lang doon.

MANILA, Philippines Sarah Geronimo, who is set to star on her third movie with John Lloyd Cruz It Takes A Man And A Woman, has taken a swipe at a certain womanizer. as observed on her Sunday show Sarah G Live. On her live show, Sarah G Live, the Pop Princess performed Britney Spears Womanizer, after which, urged her viewers to not fall in love with womanizers. The singer-actress co-host Robi Domingo was caught off guard when asked point blank by Sarah if he is a womanizer. Hindi ka womanizer, promise ha? she addressed Robi, who answered he isnt. When it was Robis turn to ask the audience, Sarah exclaimed: I think alam na nila yon, sorry. Itaas natin ang bandera ng mga babaeng nagmamahal ng totoo at mga babaeng sinasaktan, joke lang... okay, control emotion na. She apologized for misbehaving. Pasensiya na po at hindi ko po napigilan ang sarili ko, pasensiya na po. Earlier that day on The Buzz, Gerald Anderson, who was linked to Sarah a few months back, admitted his intention to court Maja who, in turn, is the co-star of the actors ex-girlfriend, Kim Chiu, on the series Ina, Kapatid, Anak. Sarah, who has had her fair share of failed could-have-been relationships in the past, couldnt agree less that she, too, has her regrets when it comes to love. The 24-year-old Viva talent was linked to popular showbiz names (John Lloyd Cruz, Rayver Cruz, Kean Cipriano, and the recent Gerald Anderson) and politician (LRay Villafuerte).
Ayaw ko namang magpaka-ipokrita na No regrets, Sarah said in an interview aired on Bandila Tuesday night. Nonetheless, she regards those regrets as learnings in life. May mga pinagsisisihan ka na sana ay ganito, ganyan. Pero yun nga, everything happens for a reason May mga aspeto na may pinanghihinayangan ka, may aspeto na Ay, hindi ko dapat ito panghinayangan, she added. Celebrating her 10 years in showbiz this year, Sarah offers her upcoming film with John Lloyd and a new album to her fans. Sarah, at this point however, still stands by her no kissing scene policy in her movies, saying Hindi naman yun ang papanoorin [kasi] ng mga tao kung mayroon man, yun yung storyang mayroon kami, kung ano yung na-witness nilang love story ni Miggy (John Lloyd) at Laida (herself).
pwedeng mangyayari after today, Dee said. As for social media bashers, Dees advice to Salvador is to just ignore. Siguro hindi naman yon mawawala. They will never be gone, palagi silang nandiyan and they will always have their opinions and, for whatever it is, our lives are not their lives, he said.
kailangang magpabalik-balik sa Amerika kung kinakailangan. Sobrang blessed na ang daming trabaho dito so I want to work while Im still here pero pabalikbalik. So starting over pa lang doon thats why back and forth dapat, pagtatapos ng aktor.

Gimmick or Real?
SOME people are wondering if the petty war between Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador because of Gerald Anderson is just pure gimmick of Star Cinema. Kim suddenly felt uneasy after learning that Maja and Gerald were seen on many occasion together. On ABS-CBNs Bandila, Kim was quite open in sharing that she had heavy feelings about the situation as in the past always shared secrets with her, including what had transpired between her and Gerald. But why then Kim didnt talk when Gerald was courting Sarah Geronimo? Some say its gimmick but with all the quality projects ABS-CBN makes, they dont need such stories to make up so their stars would be talked about. So considering this, is it for real then?

2012 a good year for Sam, aiza but not for enteng
Guilty or Otherwise?
ITS confirmed: Controversial new actress Sarah Lahbati, whos embroiled in a controversy with GMA Network and GMA Films president, Annette GozonAbrogar, has flown out of the country. It seems like Sarah has decided to take the easy way out instead of facing the consequences of her actions. Now that GMA Network and Atty. Abrogar have filed their respective cases against Sarah, some people say the controversial actress might have realized that she could no longer stand by her earlier allegations. To others, her departure is already tantamount to an admission of guilt on her part. While we still have to wait and see, there are other speculations about her personal status. Some naughty thoughts are saying that what others speculate that she is pregnant is true, or she, or her camp might have other plans in mind.
Sam Pinto and Aiza Seguerra two of the cast members of Si Agimat, Si Enteng at Ako, are thankful for the career boost they got in 2012. Sam, an actress and commercial model, though still hopes this New Year will even be better. Like any other artist, I wish for new shows, she said. My career is really my focus now. Ill be doing a lot of workshops in singing, acting and dancing. I really have to level up. She noted that her shows Bubble Gang and Party Pilipinas are rating well. Sam, who has been modelling since she was 10, first became popular when she joined the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up in 2010. She signed up with Viva that same year and has already appeared in various movies and TV shows. She was voted FHM Philippines Sexiest Woman in the World in 2011 and 2012. Doing well, too Aiza, Sams costar in Si Agimat, said 2012 was likewise a good year for her. Ive been part of two stage plays, which was a really big experience for me, the singer-actress began. I find it weird that Im visible on TV now (via the drama Please Be Careful With My Heart) and not so much in the music scene. Aiza said she was also grateful for the support she got for her 25th anniversary concert, titled Bente Singko, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in September. I was happy with the fact that all my guests did it for free, she said. MMFF entry According to unofficial box office results, their film entry, Si Agimat, is at presstime the third topgrosser in the ongoing MMFF that runs until January 8. Its lead stars include Vic Sotto, Bong Revilla, and Judy Ann Santos. The fantasy-adventure franchise has consistently been the festivals top grosser in the past two years. Im afraid Id be blamed if this [movie] does not turn into [no.1] box-office success, Judy Ann said. The pressure is on me since Im the newest cast member. In the film, Judy Ann plays Princess Angelina Kalinisan Orteza, a.k.a. AKO, the ruler of Kingdom Diwarata and a protector of the environment. It was a character specially created for her, after Ai-Ai de las Alas begged off from the project to be part of another MMFF entry, Sisterakas. The bosses said they would create a character thats just for me, Judy Ann recalled. As soon as this was clear, I said, Yes. Why wouldnt I? Its a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with the two greats (Vic and Bong). This might never happen again. The movie Enteng ng Ina Mo, which featured Vic and AiAi was last years MMFF top earner. In the 2010 fest, Vic and Bongs Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote was also No. 1 at the box-office. One of Judy Anns supporters posted on her fan page: Dont blame Judy Ann Santos for not making Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at Si AKO the No. 1 Box Office Hit Movie of MMFF 2012. Sadyang nagsawa na ang mga movie viewers sa paulit-ulit na parehong konsepto ng movie franchise na yan, sa totoo lang [Movie viewers have grown tired of the same, old concept of that movie franchise].

multitasking gay juggles three boys
Talk about multitasking. No wonder Influential Gay has become ultrasuccessful in the biz; hes a whiz at time management. Industry Veteran is impressed that IG can divide his rather limited free time among three Hunky Playmates. HP1 is the toast of Tinseltown. He achieved considerable fame because IG made sure he got the right breaks. HP2 apparently wanted to become as popular as HP1. What a role model! HP3 is IGs good oldependable spare tire. Does IG keep him around for sentimental reasons, or just in case HP1 and HP2 are busy with their respective projects?

In public pronouncements, Popular Star and Character Actress keep praising each othera little bit too much, really. But in a social networking site, CA posted the photo of a billboard of their project with an unflattering caption, alluding to PS crass background. In return, PS has been describing CA in subtly disparaging ways in interviews with the press. In so many words, PS refers to CA as a rich witch. Tit for tat.

Angelicas Wish: More Claudine involved in Downtime for Lloydie another Controversy?
we dont have shoots. If were lucky, we get to have long dinner breaks, said Angelica, whose romance with Lloydie reportedly started during a movie shoot in Vietnam last April. Asked before Christmas what she was giving Lloydie, she said finding a gift for someone who had everything wasnt easy. Ill probably give him a credit card! she said, laughing. Trying to outdo each other with expensive gifts is pass. The simpler, the betterand more heartfelt. She said Lloydie was ecstatic about her holiday reunion with her family. He suggested things to do, restaurants he could be an events coordinator! Like comedy. What else had she learned about him? Angelica replied, I didnt know that we had similar personalities. When were together, its as if were doing a comedy flick. One of the lead stars of the Metro Manila Film Festival best picture One More Try, Angelica said she never knew there was something missing in her life until Lloydie became part of it. I still cant believe this kind of feeling exists, she said. Even so, she admitted, they have spats like other couples. It happens usually when he doesnt reply to my text messages, she said. Its so high school! HANGGANG ngayon ay no comment pa rin si Claudine Barretto sa isang tsismis na diumano, nagwala siya sa isang ospital at sinigawan ang isang doctor. Hindi rin malinaw kung ano ang dahilan ng naturang natsismis na gulo. Maging ang kanyang mga abogado ay walang alam tungkol sa sinasabing insidente. Hindi raw mahagilap ang aktres na ayon sa kanyang manager na si Shirley Kuan ay nasa abroad or out of town. Naging co-host noong nakaraang Sunday ang kapatid ni Claudine na si Gretchen Barretto sa The Buzz at ayon sa actress, tinext niya ang kapatid tungkol sa issue. Pero maging sa sariling kapatid ay no comment pa rin ang nasabi nito. Matatandaang naging malaking balita ang airport brawl na kinasangkutan ni Claudine, ng asawang si Raymart Santiago at mga kaibigan laban sa kolumnistang si Ramon Tulfo noong isang taon. Hanggang ngayon ay wala pa itong resolusyon.
All that Angelica Panganiban wants for boyfriend John Lloyd Cruz this year is for him to slow down on work. Hes such a workaholic and pushes himself even when hes sick, Angelica said. I want him to have a balanced life, and have time to spend with his family, or do what he pleases. Despite Lloydies workload, though, the 26-year-old actress said they always find for each other. That is, 20 timewww.FilAmInsider.comwhen

ganun lang naman ang alam na laban ni DJ Mo Twister. Pero sa harapan ay nuno siya ng karuwagan, umuurong agad ang kanyang balls, puro dada lang ang kayang-kaya niyang gawin. Para namang kahit isang butil na bigas lang ay hindi kumain ang hunghang na ito mula sa pagkandili sa kanya ng GMA-7 kung makapagsalita siya ngayon. Alam naming mamimilosopo siya, sasabihin niya na hindi siya kumakain ng kanin, kaya babaguhin namin ang argumento. Kahit isang pirasong tinapay (Amerikano raw kasi siya) man lang ba ay hindi siya kumain mula sa kinita niya sa GMA-7? Ingrato!
HALOS lahat ng nakakausap namin ay aliw na aliw sa Comedy Concert Queen sa Sisterakas. Nagkakaisa ang mga nakakausap namin na si Ai-Ai delas Alas talaga ang nagdala ng pelikula, siya ang dahilan kung bakit dumayo sa mga sinehan ang mga kababayan natin, kinasabikan nila ang uri ng komedyang meron si Ai-Ai. Komento ng isang kaibigan namin, Sawa na ako sa acting ni Vice Ganda, paulit-ulit lang naman yun, napapanood ko na sa TV ang mga ginagawa niya, wala na siyang surprise sa pelikula! Si Kris Aquino naman, never mind na lang. Napakaaga pa para magmaasim ako, ayokong magkasala nang ganito kaaga. Huwag na lang siya ang itanong mo sa akin, next question, please!

WHEN, MANONG? Ive always maintained that the stories of Fil-Am Manongs, then and now, are worth telling. However, during my past 10 years in America as an immigrant, I found that there are scant few dedicated venues to celebrate the Fil-Am spirit.I am in awe of the existing multi-purpose community halls in isolated pockets of Filpinotown USA, bravely trying to keep Filipino culture and tradition aliveand they do serve their purpose as best as they can. And yet, apart from San Franciscos awesome warren of a theater called Bindlestiff, there seems to be no other theater dedicated tothe continually evolving journey of FilipinoAmericans. I find this strange in a country with a vaunted population of 4 million Filipino-Americans. And, specifically, having lived and worked with mostly Pinoys in Los Angeles for the last three years, I am inclined to say: Thats Incredible! After all, according to Wikipedia, the Greater Los Angeles areais home to the most (number of) Filipino Americans, with the population numbering around 606, 657; and, with Los Angeles County alone accounting for over 374, 285 Filipinos, the most of any single county in the United States. Can you imagine the enormous energy that can be generated for positive good if all that Pinoy Power can be harnessed? One of my heart-felt dreams is to see-- in my lifetimesome of that energy go towards building a little Philippine cultural center in Los Angeles, something like a combination of the wonderful, historic, multi-purpose SIPA (Search to Involve Pilipino Americans) building married to a modest version of Little Tokyos Aratani Theater.Reality check?Ive seen Pinoy Power at work in impressive spurts regularly sparked by Kababayan Compassion during annual fundraisers for calamity/natural disaster victims in our homeland. Ive witnessed the work of GawadKalinga. Seen the successful efforts of the ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. Read about the all the continuing Medical Missions. Knowing that such a reliable, tireless Pinoy spirit exists makes this dream about building a Filipino-American Cultural Center in Los
Angeles appear to be not as impossible as some people may think. Your thoughts, please? NOW NA, MANONG! After the November 6, 2012 elections, there was some buzz on the Internet and local media when at least 14 Filipino-Americansmostly Democrats with one Republicanwon national and state positions in California, Hawaii and Virginia. But not quite enough, I thought. Certainly, universes away from the kind of support that Jessica Sanchez of American Idol fame enjoyed for weeks.Also, I was expecting Pinoys to be a little more jubilant when Alameda Vice Mayor Rob Bonta made history in California as the first Filipino-American to be elected to the State Assembly. Unfortunately, it looks like Fil-Ams reaction to fellow Pinoys political triumphs are destined to register on a much, much lower scale than the usual frenzied reaction to a kababayans performance in boxing championships, singing competitions, and beauty pageants. The overwhelming Pinoy pride that accompanies celebrity worship is, of course, understandable and well-merited. However, we have to remember that in the scheme of things, the representation and performance of fellow Fil-Amsin the political arena impacts us more directly. I say this with some urgency because there are two Fil-Ams I know of running for positions in Los Angeles and Glendale and I fear not much is being heard about them. I would like to encourage our fellow Fil-Ams to support: Alex de Ocampo for LA City Council and Edith Fuentes for Glendale City Council. De Ocampo was recently endorsed by Gary Toebben, President and CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce who stated that, Alex de Ocampo brings a unique mix of policy expertise and significant experience in how to make a business successful and how the government can help the local economy thrive. In response, De Ocamposaid, I am honored to receive this endorsement and look forward to to using my experience in the private sector to find ways the city canhelp small businesses grow and thrive.

leading The FilAm (www.thefilam.net), also an online magazine, which aims to tell the story of Filipinos in the N.Y. area. As a testament to its service and commitment to the community, the website garnered two Plaridel awards in 2012. The Plaridel awards are given by the Philippine American Press Club (not to be confused with the FilipinoAmerican Press Club of California). The FilAm also recently branched out in San Francisco. I have not heard of similar efforts in Chicago, Dallas or other major U.S. cities that are centers of Fil-Am activity, but perhaps its just a matter of time before I do. Efforts like these need all the support they can get. I am fortunate to have the backing of two groups in particular as I report on the scene in the Greater Los Angeles Area. One of them is this publication, which has agreed to publish some of my pieces. This will go a long way in helping us achieve our goal. I thank the people behind it for providing a platform, not for me, but for the musicians, writers, visual artists and photographers I write about. My other supporter allows me to maintain my website. Many individuals have also been very supportive. There are too many to name here. Most of all, I want to thank the artists themselves, who have been generous with their time and their work whenever I have questions about them. Without them I literally could not have written the reviews and profiles I have written. I am grateful to them, most of all, for their dedication to their craft through which they nurture the good name of the Filipino people. Mabuhay sila.

Liza Dio Wins Best Actress Award for MMFFs In Nomine Matris
Manila, Philippines For her moving portrayal of a young FlamencoFilipiniana dancer on a quest for stardom in the movie IN NOMINE MATRIS, Liza Dio bagged the Best Actress award New Wave Category in the recently concluded 38th Metro Manila Film Fest Awards (MMFF). Nora Aunor won the same Best Actress award in the mainstream category. IN NOMINE MATRIS (In the Name of the Mother) also recieved the Most Gender Sensitive Film Award together with THY WOMB, which starred Nora Aunor and directed by Brillante Mendoza. Dio is a film, television and stage veteran who has appeared in numerous films for both independent and commercial acting studios. Her notable movies include Two Timer under Regal Films, Pinay Pie and A Love Story with Star Cinema, . She landed one of the lead roles in the independent film COMPOUND by HUBO Productions, which sparked her passion for indie projects. Her role in COMPOUND earned her the lone Acting Award in the 2011 International Film Festival Manhattan NYC and eventually led to her receiving a Philippine National Commission for Culture and the Arts Ani Ng Dangal (Harvest of Honor) Award in 2012 from the office of the Philippine President. When asked how she feels about winning another award, this time here in the Philippines, she says Iba ang feeling ng manalo sa sarili mong bansa. The feeling of being validated by your peers in the industry is incomparable. Sana magbigay daan ito para makagawa pa ako ng maraming pelikula dito satin at makatrabaho ang mga batikan at respetadong director sa Pilipinas. This is my craft, katulad ng sabi ni ate Guy, hanggat may pagkakataon, hindi ako titigil gumawa ng pelikulang may kabuluhan. A movie about dance, love, and the fusion of Spanish and Philippine cultures, IN NOMINE MATRIS (In the Name of the Mother) is directed by Will Fredo and produced by HUBO Productions in association with Trinity Hearts Media, Embassy of Spain in the Philippines, and Instituto Cervantes. It is one of the five films showcased in MMFFs New Wave Category, which pays tribute to the independent movement and its contribution to Philippine cinema. Also starring in the movie are television and movie actor Biboy Ramirez, Italy-trained opera singer Al Gatmaitan, theater thespian Tami Monsod, and world-renowned Flamenco master Clara Ramona. Choreography was created by Ramona. Original musical score which is a fusion of Spanish flamenco and classic Filipino kundiman was produced by world-jazz musician Bob Aves with concept developed in collaboration with Fredo.

Anyone whos ever been a bride, a bridesmaid, mother of the bride, a debutante, or someone who has dolled up for a special occasion share an unguarded secret about getting ready for a major event: It pays to hire a professional hair and make-up stylist! A professional stylist can execute glamorous look you want with the most cutting edge tools. But I must say this depends highly on how clearly you have communicated your vision to the stylist. I always recommend a consultation session before that special day. There are clients whose minds are set on a certain look, without taking into consideration what the stylist has to work with. Collaboration between the client and the stylist is critical. In most cases, the responsibility rests on the stylist because as the professional they know what works, based on experience. My advice to clients: Do not be afraid to express your vision. Be bold, be clear, but dont forget to be kind as well. A pleasant rapport with your stylist will make things run smoother and faster. Another major reason to hire a stylist: convenience. I offer my clients the option to either go on location (to do the style service where the event is going to be) or it can also be in-salon, at any of my salon branches. Theres a surcharge for on-location service but for the convenience of our busy clients, the price is very reasonable, especially if you book it in advance. Confidence is another important reason to hire a professional stylist for your

special occasion. We can recommend make up and hair styles that will best suit your face shape, your skin tone, and your personality. My team of makeup artists are very excited about our high-definition makeup which has staying power, provides impressive coverage, and flawless results, more than regular brush-on make-up. The price for this make-up application is slightly more expensive but the quality is definitely worth it. In terms of choosing a make-up style, well, the trends vary. For brides, we can create a natural-looking make-up. This doesnt mean everyday or washed out makeup. I define natural-looking make-up as a look that emphasizes natural features and skin glow. When done properly, the facial complexion radiates with the clever use of neutral tones. Its ethereal and elegant and timeless. Or a dramatic smoky eyes look. It depends on the personality of the bride-to-be. Its advisable to plan ahead when booking a stylist. You need to know you can talk to the stylist about your vision and that the stylist, in turn, has the range and experience to pull it off. At Monet Salon, we reward clients who plan ahead. If you book us for bridal make-up service three months in advance, we are offering a special discount. Please visit www.monetsalon. com for more about our services, or call Monet (213) 216-4923.
