NSPIRED by the classic Universal film thatlaunched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman bringsthe myth of a cursed man back to its iconicorigins. Oscar® winner Benicio Del Toro starsas Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman luredback to his family estate after his brother van-ishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Os-car winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets outto find his brother...and discovers a horrifying

destiny for himself.Lawrence Talbot’s childhood endedthe night his mother died. After he left the sleepyVictorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades re-covering and trying to forget.

But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe(Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her miss-ing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. Helearns that something with brute strength and insa-tiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and thata suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline(Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate.

As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears ofan ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolveswhen the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance atending the slaughter and protecting the woman he hasgrown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious crea-ture in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as hehunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with atortured past will uncover a primal side to himself…onehe never imagined existed.

English actress Emily Blunt first broke throughwith 2004’s My Summer of Love. The following yearshe co-starred with Bill Nighy and Miranda Richardsonin the British TV drama Gideon’s Daughter, and in2006 earned international renown for her performancein the box-office hit The Devil Wears Prada. Thisyear she starred as eponymous queen in The YoungVictoria, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and written byJulian Fellowes, and in 2010 will appear with JackBlack in Gulliver’s Travels and with Matt Damon inThe Adjustment Bureau…

In the film, The Wolfman, Gwen Conliffis the love interest but she is really thepicture of purity and she’s the only per-son who is willing to extend her hand toLawrence Talbot (played by Benicio delToro) as he is going through this horrificordeal. I think she honestly doesn’t be-lieve that it could be real until the end.She doesn’t believe the fears he is havingare true. She believes in seeing the best ineveryone and it is a rather taboo relation-ship she is having with Lawrence, because

she was engaged to his dead brother.Sir Anthony Hopkins is perhaps best known for

his performance as Hannibal Lecter in1991’s The Si-lence of the Lambs (for which he won his Oscar®, asBest Actor), its sequel, Hannibal (2001), and its prequel,Red Dragon (2002). Other memorable performancesinclude Magic (1978), The Elephant Man (1980), 84Charing Cross Road (1987), Bram Stoker’s Dracula(1992), THE Remains of the Day and Shadowlands(both 2003), Legends of the Fall (1994), Nixon (1995),Amistad, (1997) and The World’s Fastest Indian (2005).He earned Oscar® nominations for The Remains ofthe Day, Nixon and Amistad. Hopkins received a staron the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003 and wasmade a Fellow of the British Academy of Film andTelevision Arts in 2008.

He plays the character of Sir John Talbot the fa-ther of Lawrence Talbot (played by Benicio del Toro).Sir John is a man who lives in this vast house up inthe Midlands of England and he is a rather eccentric,isolated man who nobody gets to know. Nobody getsnear him. He seems, on the surface, to be quite harm-

less. He is just a little odd. He lives in this old ram-bling house with a big dog and servant and that’s all.Then other things develop.

Benicio Del Toro is a Puerto Rican-born actor andfilm producer, best known for his roles as Fred Fensterin The Usual Suspects (1995), Dr. Gonzo in Fear andLoathing in Las Vegas (1998), Javier Rodríguez inTraffic (2000), Franky Four Fingers in Snatch (2000)and Jack ‘Jackie Boy’ Rafferty in Sin City (2005). Hescooped an Oscar® for Best Supporting Actor for Trafficand was nominated in 2003 for his performance in 21GRAMS. In 2009 he starred as Ché Guevara in StevenSoderbergh’s double-header Ché, for which he receiveda Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival

Gagong Pulis + Bobong Piskal = KalabosoKapag nagsanib ang

pwersa ng pulis na gago atpiskal na bobo, tiyak nakalaboso ang kahihinatnan ngwalang kalaban-labanginosenteng mamamayan.

Noong February 8, Lunes nggabi, matapos makalampas ngstop light sa may Pedro Gil saMaynila ang taxi naminamaneho ni Jorge Malmes,pinara siya ni PO2 ArestedesMarinda ng mobil patrol.

Sinabi ni Marinda na nag-beating the red light daw siMalmes. Nangatwiran siMalmes na hindi totoo angbinibintang ni Marinda. Sinabing pulis na titiketan na langniya ang taxi driver. Para hindina maabala pa, pumayag nalang si Malmes. Pero walapalang paniket si Marindakaya ni-radyo niya ang isaniyang kasamahan sa mobil.

Pagkalipas ng kalahatingoras dumating ang isa pangpatrol car sakay si SPO2 ArnelEspeña. Ngunit wala dindalang paniket si Espeña kayanagdesisyon silang dalhin siMalmes sa MPD Traffic paradoon na lang patiketan. Peropagdating ng MPD Traffictumanggi si PO3 JohnPalunson at MMDA TrafficEnforcer Ricartito Carpio natiketan si Malmes dahil hindi

naman nila aktwal na nakitaang sinasabing paglabagumano ni Malmes sa trafficregulation.

Nang mapahiya, dinala niMarinda si Malmes sa station5 at inindorso sa desk officerpara ipakulong sa kasong dis-obedient of traffic signal at re-sisting arrest.

Nakausap ng WANTED SARADYO ang hepe ni Marindana si Col. Jose Hidalgo noongFebruary 9. Sinabi ni Hidalgona nagpahabol daw kasi siMalmes sa apat na mobil car.Idinagdag din niya nadadalhin nila sa piskalya siMalmes sa araw ding iyon paraipa-inquest. Kung hindi banaman sukdulan ng pagka-pu*$&% in@ nitong si Hidalgo.Kung totoong nagpahabol siMalmes, tadtad na sana ng balaang kanyang taxi at magingsiya dahil wala pa sakasaysayan ng mga pulis saMetro Manila na nagtiyaganghumabol sa isang tumatakasna sasakyan ng hindi

nararatrat.Sinabi ko kay Hidalgo kung

hindi na sila maawat sakanilang kalupitan sana manlang kapag hinarap nila sapiskalya si Malmeskinailangang bigyan nila itong Public Attorney’s Office(PAO) lawyer na kasamanaman talaga sa kanyangkarapatan sa ilalim ng MirandaDoctrine. Pumayag si Hidalgo.

Tinawagan ko si Gen.Rodolfo Magtibay, ang chief ngMPD. Hiniling ko rin kayMagtibay na siguraduhingmabigyan ng PAO lawyer siMalmes kapag iniharap ito sapiskal. Sinabi ni Magtibay nanapa-imbestigahan na niyaang kaso at hindi na mai-in-quest si Malmes atmapapakawalan ito ng haponding iyon.

Pero kinabukasan napag-alaman kong iniharap pa rinsi Malmes kay inquest fiscalGeraldine Agar na walangkasamang PAO lawyer. At baselamang sa report ni Marinda,inutusan ni Agar na makulongsi Malmes ng wala ngginawang pag-iimbestiga parasa panig ni Malmes.

Nang malaman ni Magtibayna natuluyan pa rin si Malmes,siya na ang nagpiyansa paradito.

Laro sa maruming politikaOKEY na marami ang

naglalaban-laban sa mayoraltyrace sa Quezon City. At leastmakakapili ang mga tao kungsino talaga ang gusto nilangiboto upang manungkulan atmagserbisyo sa mgamamamayan.

Okey na nandiyan sina ViceMayor Herbert Bautista, dat-ing Presidential Chief of StaffMike Defensor, Second DistrictRepresentative Annie Susano,dating Mayor Ismael MathayJr at Councilor Ariel Inton.

Okey na okey naman angginagawa pa nilang taktika sangayon sa pasimpleng

pamomolitika. Tahimik anggapangan at puro pailalim angnangyayari kaya’t hindimasyadong nadadamay angmga botante.

Okray ang kanya-kanyangpasimpleng patutsadahandahil hindi pa naman talagapanahon ng pagtutok nila sakampanya. Magsisimula pa itosa Marso. Pero nagsimula naang kanya-kanyang siraan ngmga kandidato.

Okray ng konti ang mga textmessages na natatanggap ngmga mamamayan, kabilang angmga pulis at mediamen, sakanilang cellphones. Panay

ang paninira sa kandidato sapamamagitan ng pagbubulgarng anomalya. Ang masakit angnagpapatirang kandidato aymay mga baho ring itinatago.

Okray na okray angpamamangka sa dalawang ilogng ilang opisyal ng pulisya nadapat sana ay walangpinapanigan sa sinumangkandidato. Sinasabi ng mga itosa kalabang kandidato ngkasalukuyang nakaupo na hindisila gagalaw upang hindi namanmaperwisyo ang kandidatongkanilang kausap. Kapalit nito aymagandang puwesto kapagnanalo ang politiko.

Madalas nga naman kasi,kapag nanalo ang pulitiko aypinapalitan ang mga pulis nanakapuwesto o kakampi ngdating nakaupo sa puwesto.

Pinakaokray sa lahat ay angugali ng mga tauhan ng kandidatona hindi pa man nanalo sa halalanay akala mo sila na ang panalo.Nanghaharass sila na akala moay talagang ang amo na nila anghalal na mayor ng Quezon City.

SA pagbubukas ng kampanya sa 2010 elections ay kanya-kanyang gimik ang bawat partido sa kagustuhang makahatakng atensyon ng sinusuyong botante. Ito ang panahong lahatng kandidato ay mistulang masugid na manliligaw at tilamaamong kordero na ultimo bituin at buwan ay pipitasinupang ihandog sa paanan ng iniirog na botante. Nariyanang pakulo ng isang presidential wannabe na nagladlad ng2 ektaryang bandila upangdoon ay ikanlong angkanyang pagiging tunay namakabayan. May naghahagis ng kendi’t sambalilo bilangpatunay ng kanyangmatamis na hangaringmagsilbi ng tutoo. Hindinaman nagpahuli ang isang mahirap na nagpayaman sasariling sikap at inihalintulad ang sarili sa isang bayani nainalay ang sariling buhay para sa kalayaan ng kapwa –gawin kaya talaga n’ya ito? At sa labis na pagmamahal sakapwa ay ginamit ang pwersa upang ilihis ang highwayupang aniya’y mapakinabangan ng husto ng kababayan.Meron din namang nagkukunwang mahirap nguni’t di manlang nakatikim matulog sa semento at kumain ng isang besesmaghapon. Ika nga ng mga pilosopong barbero “differentstrokes, different colors. “Sabi ko baka ho “different strokesfor different folks?” “Hindi iba-ibang kulay, iba-ibang brocha(paint brush), mariing bwelta n’ya.

Tulad ng isang malaking circus lumalabas na isangmalaking pantasya lamang ang mga pangako’t palabas ngmga magkakatunggali. Isang hunggkag na pangakongnaglalayong busugin ang utak at bilugin ang mata nginosenteng mamamayan na matapos makuha angminimithing boto at maupo sa pedestal ng kapangyarihanay ilalabas ang latigo upang kastiguhin at magpahirap salahat. Nagkaroon na ba tayo ng tunay na pagbabagong gayang lagi nilang ipinangangako? Kung mayroon man tiyak naito’y pagbabago ng anyo lamang nguni’t pareho ng pa rinng istilo – makasarili. Naringgan n’yo silang hindimagnanakaw sakali’t maupo. Naisip n’yo ba kung paanonila babawiin ang bilyon-bilyong salaping ginugugol nilasa kampanya? Inalam n’yo ba kung ano ang kanilang tunayna motibo sa pagtakbo bilang pangulo ng bansa? Nasubukann’yo na ba silang lapitan at kalabitin ng walang haharang omagtataboy sa inyo? Paano n’yo pararatingin sa kanila anginyong hinaing ng wala magiging balakid?

Ilan lamang ‘yan sa mga katanungang nararapat ninyongitanong sa inyong sarili bago ninyo bitiwan ang inyong matamisna boto. Hindi komo sikat at popular sa telebisyon at patalastaso inindorso ng isang sikat na artista ang isang kandidato aybasta n’yo na lang bibitiwan ang inyong boto. Maaaringnatatawa kayo ngayon o dili kaya’y naaaliw sa pa-tumblingtumbling at pa cha-cha ng kandidato sa entablado nguni’t‘yan panandalian lamang at di dapat maging basehan ngpagpili ng katapatan sa pangako’t panunungkulan ngkandidato. Lagi n’yong tatandaan, anim na taong pagdurusaang kapalit, kung mali ang desisyon n’yo.

OK o OKRAY?Ni Lea G. Botones

Sabagay, ganoon din namanumarte ang kanilang amo, parangnakakasiguro na siya na angpanalo.

Maganda naman atumaayon ang panahon sakapalaran ng politikong ito kasinoon, hanggang ngayon aywala naman siyang kinikilalamaliban sa mga taong sobrangsipsip sa kanya.

Masaklap pa ay ibinasuraniya ang mga taong nakatulongsa kanya sa politika kaya’tdapat lang niyang anihin angmasamang kapalaran.

Okray sa dilang okray aykapag tumalbog sa kanya anglahat ng kanyang ginawa sakanyang kapwa na karamihanay masama. Kapag langit anghumusga, tiyak na wala siyangpatutunguhan. Ngayon pa ngalang ay halos wala na siyangibuga dahil ayaw maglabas ngpera ng politikong kanyangkinakapitan. Paano pa kungbitiwan siya nito na ayon sabulung-bulunganay malapit na.Tiyak malulutong na halakhakang ibibigay sa kanya ng mgataong kanyang tinapakan.

Partypresidential betSenator Manny

Villar, as hevisits the publicmarket of Biñanin the province

of Laguna.

By Angelie EscandorThe National Bureau of Investigation con-

firmed yesterday that Senator Panfilo “Ping”Lacson has been placed in Interpol’s ‘red no-tice.’

“It is confirmed,” according to lawyerClaro de Castro Jr., chief of the NBI InterpolDivision.

This means that Interpol agents worldwidehave been informed of the notice and theycan arrest the senator in any of the 188-mem-ber countries of Interpol.

Lacson is facing two counts of murder forthe twin killings of publicist Salvador“Bubby” Dacer and his driver EmmanuelCorbito in November 2000.

De Castro said the member-countries mayarrest Lacson once he intercepted by the for-eign counterparts.

“The law enforcers of any member-coun-try can place Senator Lacson under arrestonce they find him. But it is up to the discre-tion of member-country of Interpol which willfind him whether to arrest him or not. Butwhat is definite, is that member-country willinform the NBI and other law enforcementagencies here in the Philippines about hiswhereabouts,” he said.

The NBI requested the Philippine Centeron Transnational Crime (PCTC) to ask theInterpol in France to include Lacson in thered notice.

IBA-IBA angbillboard ads namakikita sakahabaan ng Edsaat iba-iba ringmodelo ang naka-pose doon pero isaang nangibabaw salahat – ang bagongbillboard ni JakeCuenca kung saanang tanging suotniya ay briefs.

It’s not Jake’sfirst time to posesexy for an adcampaign, peromukhang angpresent billboardniya ang nakapukawng maramingpuna—both positiveand negative.

“Ang sa akinkasi, noong in-offerng Bench angcampaign na ‘yan, itwas a dream come

true. Kumbaga,ginawa ni RichardGomez ‘yan dati,ginawa ni JomariYllana, WendellRamos, at maramipang iba. Paramabigyan ako ngoportunidad namabigyan ako ngbillboard na ganun,na makagawa akong campaign naganun, for me, it’s adream come true.

“Ang sa akinnaman, siyempremahal na mahal koang Bench. Ang laking utang na loob kosa Bench at kunghindi dahil saBench, wala rin akorito kung nasaanako ngayon. So,noong ibinigay saakin ang campaignna ‘yan, it’s some-

thing I’m reallyproud of,” sabi niJake sa PEP(Philippine Enter-tainment Portal).

Hindi rin dawnagdalawang-isip siJake noong inaloksa kanya na gawinang ad campaign.

“Noong nasameeting kami, angunang-unangpumasok sa akin,‘Wow, parang silaGoma ‘yan, a,parang sila WendellRamos ‘yan!’ At thesame time, it wasn’tmy first time. I didunderwear [ads]before at kaya rinnaman akonapansin. So,pinaghirapan kotalaga ang cam-paign na yun.Unang-una, Bench

yun. Pangalawa,second coming kosa underwear yun attalagangpinaghirapan kotalaga,” sabi niya.

Kung gaano ka-proud si Jake sanaging resulta ngpagpapaganda niyang katawan, naevident naman sakanyang billboards,tila kabaligtarannaman ang pananawng ilang sector,partikular na angisang babaengpulitiko na tahasangsinasabing dapattanggalin ang mganaturang billboarddahil nagigingdistraction ito samga dumadaan saEDSA.

Ano angmasasabi ni Jakedito?

“Well, nabalitaanko nga ang tsismisna yun. Pero for menaman, like what Isaid a while ago, forme, that campaignwas a blessing. It’ssomething natalagangpinaghirapan ko.Siyempre, mayibang mga tao nahindi magkakagustosa billboard. Perosiguro naman, it’snot for me todecide. Kapagsinabi sa akin na,‘Ito ang kailanganmong gawin, Jake,’gagawin ko ‘yan the

best way that I can,100 percent.”

Pero personally,nakikita niya bangdapat gawingcontroversial issueang billboards niyang ilang pulitiko?

“Sa akin naman,it’s not up to me todecide. It’s really upto Bench. I respectnaman their decisionkung hindi nila gusto.Sa tingin nila yun, e.Pero ang sa akin, atthe end of the day,

makita ko lang yunna nakatayo, I’mproud, I’m happy. AndI have no regretsdoing the pictorial orwhatsoever.”

Sasama ba angloob niya kungsakaling tanggalinang mga ito?

“Siyempre,masakit yun.Pinaghirapan koyun, e. Kumbaga,noong sinabi sa akinna gagawin ko yun,pinaghirapan kotalaga yun. With orwithout taping, nag-workout ako.Siyempre, masakit,pero it’s not up tome to decide. It’sup to the politicianand Bench todecide. Basta angsa akin, I just hopena na-represent koang Bench,” sabiniya.

Sa kabilangbanda,nagpasalamat siJake sa mganakaka-appreciateng billboard niya.

Aniya, “Sa mganakaka-appreciateat dumadaan ngEDSA, thank you somuch. Paulit-ulit kona ngang sinabi napinaghirapan koyun, pero yuntalaga. At kapagsinasabi ng isangtao, tulad kanina, naang ganda ngbillboard mo, anglaking bagay sa akinnun. Nakakapag-motivate na igihanko pa. Hindi langbilang artista kundibilang entertainer.”

Sa bagongprimetime series niJake na Rubi, tilamakikita rin ng mga

manonood angkanyangkaseksihan. Saoriginal versionkasi, madalas nashirtless yung malelead na character niJake.

“Basta mainit namainit ang shownamin. At katuladnga ng sinabi niDiether, pagdatingdito sa Rubi, hindina kailangan ngulam, kanin nalang!” birong-seryoso ni Jake.

And Paramount studiobosses already have a releasedate - the film will go upagainst The Hangover sequelon Memorial Day weekendnext year.

The “Mission: Impossible”franchise has grossed morethan $1.4 billion globally.

* * *And she's finally here. It's strange to think this

was the most anticipated moment since 'AmericanIdol' first began, I mean it didn't involve singing inany way, and this is supposed to be a music compe-tition, but at long last the Ellen finally landed, andthe early returns are good.

Ellen definitely brings a brand new vide to theproceedings. Gone is Paula's insane ramblings, andhere to stay is somebody with the potential to befunnier than Simon, while maintaining the positiv-ity that actually made Paula worthwhile.

This is still a competition; however, and there

were a lot of prospective popstars who had their liveschange last night. Let's take alook at each, shall we?

The Contestants Who AreMoving On

Katie - She led off theevening singing "For Once inMy Life". Nice easy-flowingsoul performance with somereal depth. A very confidentperformance from the start,and when she started to belt itonly got better. She showedgreat poise to handle both thelarge and small parts of thesong.

Andrew - He did a very coolrendition of 'Straight Up' that

sounded like a Damien Rice record remixed byPharrel. Plus he has an excellent voice. Gritty popsoul. He's going to go far, like Kris Allen with abetter mind for music. Kara definitely agreed,complimenting him for awhile, and it only mademe hate her more.

Janell - She doesn't have the best voice - it's notvery rich and she has trouble holding her pitch, butthere's something about her delivery - the attitude,the confidence, the feistiness - that makes it so hervoice doesn't matter. Like a solid bar singer thatwould never let any naysayer get in her way.

Haeley - Wow. That was incredibly polished,especially for a 16-year-old. Like Colbie Calliat giv-ing the best concert of her life. Super smooth, veryslick, and sounded absolutely great. It's so cool tosee somebody play so far against type and do it sowell. That just shows how much she really meansit.

Mary - I remember not liking her at all during theaudition, but this second shot is making me looklike a fool. Singing 'Sober' by Pink, she hits the bignotes and lets her voice soar. A lot more control anda better tone than she showed previously. Thoughjudging from her post-performance interview, shemay have ruined her speaking voice.

Lilly - She sang 'Lullaby of Prarieland" by EllaFitzgerald, and I'm going to make this declarationright now. Lilly is going to win. That was beyondphenomenal. An amazingly pure and unique voice.Incredibly confident stage presence and a real knackfor making a song her own. I don't think I've everbeen anywhere close to this impressed at this pointin the show.

Michael - This was the guy who was missing thebirth of his first son so he could audition for theshow. And, on a side not, I agree with his decision.Does it really matter that you aren't there at the ac-tual moment of birth? He has entire life to be withhis son, but this may be his only shot at his dream.He won't have this moment again, and he'll havethousands of future moments with his son. Momentshis son will remember.

Don’t bribe traffic enforcers or else… – MMDAMETRO Manila Development Au-

thority Chairman Oscar Inocentesyesterday warned motorists againstbribing traffic enforcers so they canget away with traffic violations.

Inocentes said those who will bribeMMDA traffic enforcers will find them-selves behind bars.

This developed as the MMDA chair-man ordered the prosecution of morethan 150 drivers who committed traf-fic violation and tried to bribe the ap-

prehending MMDA traffic enforcers.He said the move aimed to stop

motorists from further corrupting theMMDA traffic personnel.

“Offering bribes to our traffic en-forcers is a serious criminal act andis penalized under the Revised PenalCode. Your P10 or P20 bribe will causeyou even more serious trouble and in-convenience than dutifully settlingyour traffic fines in the proper pay-ment centers,” the MMDA chief, a re-

tired trial court judge, said.The MMDA-Legal Service has

charged 155 motorists with viola-tions of Article 212 or Corruption ofPublic Officials in various prosecu-tors’ office in Metro Manila. The crimeis punishable with six years impris-onment, the same penalty imposedon any public officer who wouldaccept bribes in the performance ofhis or her official duties.

BI on top 5 of graft fighter listThe Bureau of Immigration (BI) was placed in the fifth honor roll

by the Presidential AntiGraft Commission (PAGC) from among 177government agencies for its success in minimizing the incidence ofgraft and corruption.

PAGC Commissioner Constancia De Guzman presented a plaqueof certification to BI Commissioner Marcelino Libanan for the bureau’sperformance in fighting corruption.

De Guzman said the BI, through the reforms initiated by Libanan,has successfully elevated itself from being in the bottom list whenthe project was implemented in 2004 to the honor roll of the agenciesthat are being graded periodically by the PAGC.

PAGC’s strategies include measures relative to graft prevention,education, deterrence, and partnership.

Last year, the BI was in seventh place of the PAGC’s top 10 list of“most compliant” government agencies.

It was only in 2008, a year after Libanan assumed office in May2007, that the BI was catapulted to the PAGC’s top 10 list.

The BI was in 76th place among 80 government agencies in thePAGC’s list in 2004 until 2007.

PAGC officials have cited the success of Libanan’s reform pro-grams as the major factor in the improvement of the BI’s image.

THE Commission on Election SecondDivision yesterday declared former pro-vincial board member Lilia Pineda as therightful governor of Pampanga as theformer unseated Pampanga Governor EdPanlilio.

Panlilio, a former priest, was the thirdLiberal Party local executive to receive axefrom the poll body.

Panlilio was therefore ordered to va-cate the post and allow Pineda to assumethe gubernatorial post.

Pineda, wife of Bong Pineda, well knownfinancier of President Gloria-Macapagal-Arroyo, lost to Panlilio in 2007 by a mar-gin of 1,147 votes and accused the win-ning politician-priest of cheating and ini-tiated recount proceedings against himwith the Comelec.

In its ruling, the second division saidPineda actually received 190,729 voteswhile Panlilio got 188,718 votes, a marginof 2,011.

Critics of the Comelec had also foreseenthis outcome after the poll body unseatedPanlilio’s fellow Liberal Party governorsJonjon Mendoza of Bulacan and GracePadaca of Isabela.

The LP had earlier criticized the Arroyoadministration for its alleged “vendettapolitics” against the three governors.

FOR those who are sulk-ing about the failed match-upbetween Manny Pacquiaoand Floyd Mayweather Jr., youare in for another treat.

The possibility of a scrap be-tween Pacquiao and EdwinValero will drag even the mostdisillusioned fight fan out of thedoldrums - a mouth-wateringscrap rising from the ashes ofthe scuppered pound-for-poundplay-off with Mayweather.

Valero, arguably the onlyfighter on the planet moreexciting than the others, has

set his sights on what herightly claims to be “the fightthe world wants to see.”

While a clash betweenpound-for-pound kingPacquiao and predecessorMayweather must, for thegood of boxing, happen atsome point in the future, aPacquiao-Valero tear-upwould excite most boxing in-siders more than any otherfight in the last decade.

With a record of 27 stop-pages from 27 fights, Valerois the most exciting and ag-

gressive fighter on the planet.Pacquiao, meanwhile, is themost complete fighter of hisgeneration having started outat light-flyweight before mov-ing through the divisions anddishing out beatings to every-one put in his way.

While Pacquiao-Mayweather would be an in-triguing and necessary clashpitting the world’s top twoagainst each other, a fight be-tween the Filipino firebrand andValero would be pure indul-gence for the viewing public.

Philip Pullman is a gifted writer of fantasy books.His Dark Materials trilogy includes The Golden Com-pass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass andis very popular among young readers. But below thesurface of these sympathetic characters and compel-ling subplots is a sinister purpose. The story culmi-nates in a great war against God.

In these books, Pullman views the fall of Satan asa righteous cause for personal independence from God’s“tyrannical” control. He implies that Satan’s attemptto usurp the throne of God was the right thing to do!

In the book of Revelation, we read of the endtimes:“War broke out in heaven . . . . [And Satan] was castto the earth” (Rev. 12:7-9). That future war is beingpreceded by an earthly conflict on the battlefield ofour minds.

We must recognize Satan for what he is—a liar(John 8:44). His strategy is to take God’s words outof context and twist them into falsehood (Gen. 3:1-7). Our best defense against him is to hold firmly tothe truth of God’s Word (Eph. 6:10-18).

Our loving heavenly Father is “not willing thatany should perish” (2 Peter 3:9). But neither will Heforce our obedience. He leaves the choice to us. —Dennis Fisher

IT was a good mix of nostalgia and pride as Multiflex RNC Philippines, Inc., a companyunder the RGC Group of Companies’ foam group and manufacturer of leading foam productbrand “Uratex,” recently invited the local business and lifestyle media to its sprawling factorylocated along South Superhighway in Muntinlupa City to give them a glimpse of how thefamous Uratex foam is manufactured.

Led by the company’s top executives, the tour essentially provided members of the mediawith information as to how Uratex products are made.

Together, they toured the company’s facilities starting with the research and developmentlaboratory. There, the media saw R&D personnel formulate various types of chemicals in aneffort to try and find the right mix using the right tools and inspection standards and come upwith the best foam product possible.

The media was also shown how each foam sample from the initial mix is tested exten-sively on several factors like flexibility, fire-retardant testing, durability and other tests. Fromthere, they were also showed the gigantic, 30-meter-long block of foam that comes out at thefoaming area. They also marveled at the various equipments like the Hennecke machine fromGermany, the heart and soul of the foam-making process.

Then it was on to the cutting and contouring area where the foam blocks are made intoseveral products like pillows and beds and then to the packaging area, ready for delivery. TheMuntinlupa factory is one of the company’s 12 factories and the third biggest under the RGCGroup of Companies umbrella. It opened back in 1989 with a total area of 10,000 squaremeters and 20 years later, the complex now measures 60,000 square meters.

It is one of the company’s 4 foaming factories and boasts of state-of-the-art equipmentthat would give major foaming companies in Europe and in Japan a run for their money.According to Ms. Christiane Marie Cheng-Medina, Managing Director of Multiflex RNC Phil-ippines, Inc., it delights them that the company’s factories elicit favorable comments fromvisitors, especially foreigners, who find their factories to be world class. “It has been thetrademark of the RGC Group to adapt to world-class standards in terms of equipment andresearch. But we don’t do it just for the sake of being called high-tech or world class. We doit because we know the benefits that go back to customers in terms of quality and bestprices,” she emphasized. Quality management is also a hallmark of the company’s factories.Cheng-Medina points out that the Muntinlupa plant is ISO 9001-certified and practices manyworld-class management systems like Lean System which is patterned after the famedToyota Production System. The company also observes a participative management systemwherein every employee contributes every quarter at least 3 implemented improvements.Bottom-line, she said that the idea of putting up factories that adhere to global standards ispart of the overall game plan of the company in terms of uplifting the country’s image. “Itmakes us proud to give our country a good name because we know that the Philippines iscapable of being truly world-class in terms of manufacturing. Thus, we’ve made it part of ourvision to make our country proud of us as well,” she declared.
