Filipino Inventor VIRGILIO 'BILLY' MALANG : VITAMIN BEER, RICE BEER, TAGAY CUP, ANTI-HANGOVER CAPSULE & Other 'INNOVENTIONS'
Filipino inventor Virgilio “Billy” L. Malang invented a Vitamin B Fortified Beer called 'VITAMIN BEER' which won a gold medal at the European Union-sponsored Genius-Europe competition at the Budapest Fair Center in Hungary in May 2004 and bagged the Romanian Ministry Education and Research Cup among 1,000 inventions by 540 inventors from 46 countries.
What's so special about Vitamin Bs ? The benefits of B vitamins include: maintain healthy skin and muscle tone, enhance immune and nervous system function, promote cell growth and division, reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, and they also help fight the symptoms of stress, depression, and cardiovascular disease.
As you can see B vitamins are pretty important. Unfortunately, when drinking an excessive amount of alcohol Vitamin B is lost. Luckily, for all the alcoholic drinkers out there, Filipino inventor Virgilio "Billy" L. Malang has invented Vitamin Beer to help replenish Vitamin B.
Aside from his Vitamin Beer, Malang has also produced a “tagay cup” good for three drinkers—with three handles and three cup lips assigned to each member of a drinking trio, and an anti-hangover capsule derived from “activated” coco shell charcoal.

EMOTION-SENSITIVE ROBOTS and HIGH-POWERED JET PACK All Modern & High-Tech Inventions Today - Video & Pics July 30, 2008
Some snapshots from the video
The Jet Pack prototype is still crude in design understandably, and it doesn't look like the jet packs used in the film 'Thunderball' where James Bond used a jet pack. I also remembered another film 'Rocket Man' which I saw in the early 1990s.
Here's an article from Yahoo News on the Jet PAck invention
Inventor says jet packs ready to take off
By DINESH RAMDE, AP Business Writer
Tue Jul 29, 6:57 PM ET
OSHKOSH, Wis. - This isn't how a jet pack is supposed to look, is it? Hollywood has envisioned jet packs as upside-down fire extinguishers strapped to people's backs. But Glenn Martin's invention is far more unwieldy — a 250-pound piano-sized contraption that people settle into rather than strap on.
As thousands looked on Tuesday, the inventor's 16-year-old son donned a helmet, fastened himself to a prototype Martin jet pack and revved the engine, which sounded like a motorcycle. Harrison Martin eased about three feet off the ground, the engine roaring with a whine so loud that some kids covered their ears.
With two spotters preventing the jet pack from drifting in a mild wind, the pilot hovered for 45 seconds and then set the device down as the audience applauded.
The Martin jet pack can — in theory — fly an average-sized pilot about 30 miles in 30 minutes on a full 5-gallon tank of gas. The apparatus was unveiled Tuesday at AirVenture Oshkosh 2008, the annual aviation convention of the Experimental Aircraft Association in east-central Wisconsin.
"Wow, that went better than expected," Glenn Martin said afterward, his accent revealing his New Zealand roots. "People will look back on this as a moment in history."
That remains to be seen. Federal regulations limit the use of such devices, and it's unclear whether people will shell out $100,000 for a jet pack whose capabilities have been demonstrated on paper but not in the air.
The Martin jet pack is designed to conform to the Federal Aviation Administration's definition of an ultralight vehicle, which weighs less than 254 pounds and carries only one passenger.
Although the FAA could always change its mind, the ultralight designation means riders won't need a pilot's license.
But don't expect to see commuters rushing to work by air instead of land. Ultralights can't be operated over congested areas, according to FAA regulations, and are to be used "exclusively for sport or recreational purpose."
That's fine, Martin said. He predicts the jet packs will start out as toys for the wealthy. Then, as law enforcement officials become more familiar with them, Martin envisions jet packs used by the military, border-patrol officials and search-and-rescue teams.
His white jet pack with black trim stands on a brick-sized base with two legs sprawled behind it. The pilot steps backward into the straps of a shoulder harness, his shoulder blades resting against two wide upward-facing fans that provide the thrust.
There's an emergency parachute that's effective above about 400 feet, and an impact-absorbing undercarriage that can soften a rough landing or short fall, Martin said.
He's still refining the safety features for those heights in between.
"A lot of it comes down to how do you fly, at what speed, at what angle," he said.
Like Kent Couch, the Oregon man who flew 235 miles earlier this month with 150 helium balloons attached to his lawn chair, Martin always wanted to soar through the air. He quit his job as a pharmaceutical sales rep to launch his jet-pack company.
Martin says venture capitalists are backing him, but he didn't give names.
Reaction to the test flight was mixed. Attendees with aviation backgrounds raved, calling it an engineering marvel and saying the 45-second flight was fantastic proof that the idea works. Others who hoped to see the machine go higher and move in different directions seemed generally disappointed.
Martin began taking orders Tuesday for jet packs to be delivered at next year's AirVenture, though he's keeping his sales expectations in check. After all, other entrepreneurs who chased the idea for about 50 years were unable to get off the ground.
German scientists experimented with jet pack technology during World War II as a way to help soldiers avoid mines.
Then scientists at Bell Labs produced a version that ran on hydrogen peroxide and provided a few seconds of lift.
Later a California company spent six years and millions of the military's dollars on the 8-foot-tall SoloTrek Exo-Skeletor Flying Vehicle. During a disappointing 2002 test flight the machine hovered a few feet off the ground for 19 seconds.
Two other companies are trying to sell jet packs now. Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexicana in Cuernavaca, Mexico produces a custom-made rocket belt that costs $125,000. It uses hydrogen peroxide to power 20-second flights, according to the company's Web site. The rocket belts are mostly sold for use in advertising and promotions, such as halftime appearances at football games.
Jet Pack International, based in Denver, produces two hydrogen-peroxide models and one $200,000 jet pack that runs on jet fuel. An average-sized pilot could travel about nine minutes and 11 miles on the 5-gallon tank, the company said.
Jet Pack has "hundreds" of people on a waiting list for its jet fuel pack, spokeswoman Kelly McLear said, but she wouldn't say when it would be available.
"Our No. 1 priority is safety," McLear said. "We're not going to put a product on the market unless we've checked it a million times over and worked all the bugs out."
No other major companies have revealed plans to produce jet packs.

Based on the video, I am skeptic on Marie Antoinette Rivero's ability to hurdle pass the Korean expert in Tae Kwan Do, it actually takes more than being 'mayabang' and sparring with male artist. One must possess the freedom to express oneself in speed, timing, raw power and focus combined, the way she talks (full of anxieties) and the way she throw her kicks (too much anger in her), I doubt she would take home the bacon, yet that's just my insights based on the video. Let's pray for her.

QANTAS AIRWAYS Jumbo Jet Makes Emergency Landing at NAIA, PHILIPPINES - Video July 25, 2008
A Qantas jumbo jet carrying 345 passengers made an emergency landing Friday with a gaping hole in its fuselage after a mysterious "explosive decompression," officials said.
There were no injuries, but some passengers vomited after disembarking the Boeing 747-400, said Octavio Lina, Manila International Airport Authority deputy manager for operations.
The cabin's floor gave way, he said, exposing some of the cargo beneath and part of the ceiling collapsed.
"There is a big hole on the right side near the wing," he said, adding it was 7 1/2 feet to 9 feet in diameter.
Flight QF 30, from London to Melbourne, had just made a stopover in Hong Kong. Passengers who talked to the media at the airport described hearing an explosion, and then oxygen masks were released.
"One hour into the flight there was a big bang, then the plane started going down," passenger Marina Scaffidi, 39, from Melbourne, told The Associated Press by phone from Manila airport. "There was wind swirling around the plane and some condensation."
She said the hole extended from the cargo hold into the passenger cabin.
"No one was very hysterical," she said.
June Kane of Melbourne described how parts of the plane's interior broke apart in the depressurized cabin.
"There was a terrific boom and bits of wood and debris just flew forward into first (class) and the oxygen masks dropped down," she told Australia's ABC Radio. "It was absolutely terrifying, but I have to say everyone was very calm."
Video shot by a passenger showed people sitting with their oxygen masks on — just-served meals on their tray tables — as the plane descended quickly to 10,000 feet en route to an emergency landing at Manila's international airport. Cabin crew continued to work, walking down the aisles and showing no sign of panic.
Applause erupted as the plane touched down safely.
Geoff Dixon, the chief executive officer of Qantas, praised the pilots and the rest of the 19-person crew for how they handled the incident.

THE ECHO (Hollywood Version of SIGAW) SCREENED AT THE 2008 FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL in Montreal, Canada - July 17, 2008 - Pics and Movie Reviews
The Echo (Hollywood remake and version of the Philippine film 'Sigaw') was screened at the 2008 FANTASIA FESTIVAL in Montreal, Canada last week July 17, 2008. The Echo is directed by Yam Laranas who also directed the original. The Echo starred Jesse Bradford (Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers) and Ms. Iza Calzado reprising her role as the battered wife.

Movie Reviews of THE ECHO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Echo, The (2008)
Reviewed by Johnny Butane
Starring Jesse Bradford, Amelia Warner, Kevin Durand
Directed by Yam Laranas
It’s always strange when I hear of a filmmaker being given the chance to remake his or her film with more money. I’m sure there are some out there who would jump at the chance to improve what they thought was wrong with their feature the first time, but why make the same film over again?
Yam Laranas understood that for an American remake of his Filipino shocker Sigaw to work, there would need to be some changes. Having never seen the original, I’m not sure how much is changed, but I can say that The Echo never suffers from what the worst of those other Asian remakes do: that feeling that you’re watching an Asian film with an English-speaking cast. The Echo is very much its own movie with its own style and pacing, and for that reason alone I’m glad Laranas was able to have a second chance.
Our story follows Bobby (Bradford), a man who’s just been released from prison after serving an untold amount of years for involuntary manslaughter. He moves into his mother’s apartment in New York, his mother having passed away while he was inside, and starts trying to rebuild his life. Unfortunately this new life is constantly interrupted the family next door, a cop (Durand) who likes to abuse his wife and young daughter. The husband is a very violent man, given to bouts of rage at the drop of a hat, and he doesn’t like to be interfered with.
When they’re not fighting, Bobby’s hearing strange noises at all hours of the night. Scraping sounds, whispering, the padding of feet on a bare floor; it’s all very disconcerting for him since he’s trying so hard to be “normal” but nothing around him is allowing it to happen. Is it the solitude that’s getting to him? Perhaps he was inside too long and can’t deal with the real world anymore? The more Bobby learns about his mother’s last days, the more he realizes he’s seeing exactly what she saw, which drove her to stay locked in her apartment for weeks. It’s up to him to get to the bottom of what’s going on with the sounds he’s hearing and how the people next door are connected to them, but as he learns the truth, he finds himself even more divorced for anything resembling a normal reality.
First and foremost, The Echo is a beautiful film. You can tell Yam, a cinematographer himself though he didn’t shoot this, put a lot of thought into every shot, every interior, every creeping, crawling camera movement; it all comes together wonderfully to add a thick tension to the proceedings, which in a film that is as deliberately paced as The Echo is incredibly important to keep the audience.
Which brings me to my first issue with The Echo: the pacing. To be frank, sometimes it is excruciatingly slow. As I stated, Laranas had a plan, and overall the pace works very well, but there are just some scenes that, while not necessarily in need of a trim, could have at least been sped up.
This is a Vertigo-produced remake, so all the standard Asian ghost movie remake staples are firmly in place: the musically timed scares, creepy little girl, ominous hallways, jump-cut movement of ghosts. It’s all stuff you’ve seen before, and while it didn’t necessarily detract from my enjoyment of The Echo, it did serve to cheapen it by a degree. I got the feeling that with a little more creative freedom, Laranas would have twisted some of the concepts to make them work better.
The Echo is beautifully shot with amazing production design, dripping with atmosphere and tension like I’ve not seen in the Asian remakes since the trend first started. While the story and its resolution do have some issues, The Echo is deeper than just the plot, thanks to the way it was designed and executed. The deliberate pacing will likely turn off the ADD viewers among us and the standard ghost elements may turn off the more snobbish among us, but as an entire package The Echo is a very solid movie and hopefully only the beginning of what Mr. Laranas has to show us.
3 1/2 out of 5

Echo, The (2008)
by Jay Seaver
SCREENED AT THE 2008 FANTASIA FESTIVAL: Apparently the quest to find Asian horror to remake has now expanded its eye to the Philippines, where Yam Laranas's "Sigaw" was a hit and did fairly well on the festival circuit. The good news about this one is that Laranas transplanted it to New York himself, and appears to have done a pretty good job of making this second version worth the effort.
Meet Bobby (Jesse Bradford); he's just been paroled from prison after serving three years for involuntary manslaughter, and he's not looking for any trouble. When his parole officer asks where he's planning to stay, he says his mother's apartment, though his mother died while he was in prison. It's still full of her things, still bearing all the signs of the mental breakdown that preceded her death. Bobby is able to find a job, working for Hector (Carlos Leon) as a mechanic, though he's on a short leash there. He's isolated most of the time, though - none of his old friends talk to him other than his ex Alyssa (Amelia Warner), and she's as wary as you might expect. And his neighbors aren't helping him get a good night's sleep - Walter (Kevin Durand) makes life hell for his wife (Iza Calzado) and daughter (Jamie Bloch), but what can Bobby do, since he's an ex-con and Walter's a cop?
Laranas plays up how the culture of the big city is all about being careful: Friends tell Alyssa to stay away from Bobby, Hector certainly doesn't trust him to begin with, and while the manager of the apartment building tells Bobby that he and one other person (Pruitt Taylor Vince) are the only ones complaining about some of the sounds on their floor, Bobby is standoffish when the other man wants to talk. It may be the natural response to seal oneself up in a bubble with so much humanity on all sides, but it's not healthy, and it's no surprise when Bobby starts to crack.
Of course, having ghosts appear will speed that process up. The Echo plays with similar themes as the Grudge movies, although Laranas made Sigaw without knowing what Takashi Shimizu was doing in Japan at the time. The scare scenes are nicely done, with ghosts following Bobby away from the haunted space so that they can show up at any moment, but not being over-the-top in how they manifest. The reveal of just how much is supernatural is cleverly done, and Laranas is also very cognizant that ghosts are far from the only frightening thing in the movie: His portrayal of domestic violence is just as disquieting.
It's all anchored by a surprisingly good performance by Jesse Bradford. It's probably not fair to say "surprisingly" because I haven't seen him in very much, nor have I particularly wanted to, based on what he's done. He gets the job done as Bobby, though, capturing how worn down he is despite his youth, trying to keep his head down even though that's not really in his nature, and literally haunted. When we learn the exact circumstances that landed him in prison, even though he's not on-screen, we believe it because, yes, that's the guy we've been seeing. It certainly makes him worth a look in the future. The rest of the cast is good, too, decent actors well-suited to their roles, but Bradford is the one that grabs the audience whenever he's on-screen.
And that's probably one more notable performance than most horror remakes have, and for that alone, "The Echo" at least justifies its existence. It may do a bit better than that; I haven't seen "Sigaw", and based on its description, it looks like "The Echo" may actually be a somewhat richer work.

I remember way back in 1975 during the Thrilla in Manila event, Imelda Marcos and Ferdinand Marcos considered Muhammad Ali as their personal friend. The Thrilla in Manila was held at the Araneta Coliseum in the morning of October 1, 1975 which was beamed via satellite in the U.S. (evening June 30, 1975). Of course that bout was introduced by Joe Cantada and was refereed by Carlos Padilla. I was 15 years old then, cool huh? I remember a button and a tshirt with the Thrilla in Manila printed on it with Ali and Frazier's face inked in maroon, still very vivid in my memory, also saw newly arrived Muhammad Ali waving at us at Dewey Boulevard..we were on our way to school then. Joe Frazier stayed at the Hyatt Regency hotel at Dewey Blvd (of course it's now Roxas Blvd) while Ali stayed at the Manila Intercontinental Hotel. Also remembered Ali brought his concubine in Manila while his legal wife followed him here in the Philippines hehehe. Those were the good ol' days.
PINOY BISCUITS' HAUNTING HOLLYWOOD STORIES - July 22, 2008
Five months after his untimely death from an accidental drug overdose, Heath Ledger delivers arguably his best screen performance ever in the box-office blockbuster Batman adventure The Dark Knight. Insiders are offering their bets for a posthumous Oscar nomination for Heath Ledger next year for his superb performance in The Dark Knight. 
Hollywood's stereotypical treatment of the Chinese in the movies disappointed Bruce Lee, instead of a movie carreer in Hollywood he made martial art films in Hong Kong. After completing 3 Hong Kong films and 1 still in production, Hollywood felt the impact of the tremendous box-office success of Lee's HK films and a major Hollywood studio finally offered Bruce Lee a starring role in a big budget Hollywood production. A starring role in a Hollywood film was what Bruce Lee has been waiting all his life, the film later to be known as Enter The Dragon. Bruce Lee was in Hong Kong discussing plans for the completion of his mothballed HK film 'Game of Death', he died three weeks before the Hollywood premiere of Enter The Dragon in 1973.
James Dean's status as a cultural icon is best embodied in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause, in which he starred as troubled high school rebel Jim Stark. The other two roles that defined his star power were as the awkward loner Cal Trask in East of Eden, and as the surly farmer Jett Rink in Giant. His enduring fame and popularity rests on only three films, his entire starring output. James Dean died driving his Porsche Spyder, collided with another car in Cholame, California September 30, 1955. He was the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and remains the only person to have two such nominations posthumously.
Peter Finch is most notable for his role as Howard Beale in the film, Network. Finch died from a heart attack on January 14, 1977 at the age of 64 before the Oscar guild nominated him for Best Actor. Peter Finch won the Best Actor trophy beating fellow nominee Sylvester Stallone (Rocky), that earned Finch the only posthumous Academy Award for acting in the history of the awards.

MANNY PACQUIAO vs. OSCAR DELA HOYA : A Dream Match-Up, Might Come to Fruition
What if the most talk about dream match-up between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar dela Hoya came into fruition ? it will be one hell of a spectacular bout that would generate an undeniable attraction not only for the die-hard boxing fans but also from curious enthusiasts. They say it's the mismatch of the century because of their height discrepancy, yeah right but didn't I said before (in one of my previous postings here at PB) that Manny Pacquiao is the new Bruce Lee, meaning Manny can easily adapt to the fighting style of a taller opponent or any fighter with two arms and two legs.
One example that Bruce Lee brought to the screen was Lee's movie fight with NBA (7 feet 2 inches) legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Yeah it's only a movie (Game of Death) but that's beside the point. What I am trying to say is, based on the philosophy of Bruce Lee, the ability to adapt to your opponent's fighting style can result to a better outcome of your goal. Easily, Manny Pacquiao has adapted to the different fighting style of his numerous opponent and time and again he has proven that the philosophy of Bruce Lee is simply the honest truth. Quickness and punching power are just a few arsenal of the Pacman, it's his timing and the ability to read his opponent's mind based on movements is an added plus.Here's a photo that shows the height discrepancy of Manny Pacquiao's to Oscar dela Hoya's
Photo taken by my brother Darwin during the Pacquiao vs. Barrera II weigh-ins with Bob Arum and Oscar dela Hoya at their sides.
Remember that current WBC lightweight champ Manny Pacquiao started his boxing career at 106 lbs. while Oscar dela Hoya started his boxing career at lightweight at 140 lbs. , not only the height discrepancy that's considered a mismatch but their natural weight also comes into play here. If the bout will materialized , the agreed weight limit for both boxers is 147 lbs., the age factor is not on dela Hoya's side here, he's 36 and past his prime while Manny Pacquiao at 29 is currently at his prime. Oscar dela Hoya has a powerful left hook while Manny Pacquiao is quicker with a devastating punching power.
If ever the fight would materialized, this could be Manny Pacquiao highest payday, a cool $20,000,000 for the Pacman. Win or lose, the Pacman is the clear winner here, and indirectly the Philippine stock market may be on a positive note. Here's hoping for that dream fight to come true. Amen.

DCRJ's Movie Reviews : THE DARK KNIGHT
We saw the film today at the San Miguel-Coca Cola IMAX theater in SM Mall of Asia, the film is in 2D. Oh man, I have been a Batman fan ever since I read the DC comic book when I was in grade school in the late 1960s. The Adam West TV series Batman became one of my favorite TV shows during my childhood years courtesy of Uncle Bob's Channel 7 of the 1960s. Having outgrown the TV series my adoration shifted to Tim Burton's Batman and its 2nd sequel but I found the Joel Schumacher sequels too cartoony just like the TV series (Jim Carrey's Riddler looks stupider than Frank Gorshin's). Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins was several notches higher and made the Batman franchise more than just a kid's film.
Lo and behold! The Dark Knight made the Marvel movie franchise (Spider-man, X-men, Ironman, Hulk) too cartoony ! The complex intricacies of the human morals are made into play in the Dark Knight. The Joker (Heath Ledger) is not your ordinary villain here, he doesn't care for money which is the main goal of other villains in moviedom and he doesn't care for his life either. He's a meshed-up schizophrenic with a convoluted personality disorder made courtesy of his sadistic father, he is a fine study to undertake by psychiatrists and can be the subject of numerous debates inside a psychology or psychiatry classroom. The Joker stood on par with Hannibal Lecter in Movie morphology. Heath Ledger's performance shines to greater heights and made the so-called 'method acting' into a new level. He made me laugh when he sarcastically applauded Lt. James Gordon as the new Comissioner. I felt pity for the Joker on what he has become. I won't be surprise if Heath Ledger gets nominated next year for a posthumous Oscar. The more I admire Heath Ledger's superb performance the sadder I become because we won't be seeing his performance again (*sniff*).
The performance of Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent aka Two-Face is also outstanding. Harvey Dent's dilemma crosses the boundary between heroic and evil deeds and to decide for those by means of flipping the coin, a case of a complex study in emotional instability courtesy of the Joker's power of persuasion. Morgan Freeman as Lucious Fox (like James Bond's Gadget man Q), maker of Batman's hi-tech gadgets also crosses a moral dilemma in the film of which I won't elaborate. Shades of James Bond antics borrowed by Bruce when he presses a button on a gadget without reading the instructions first. Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman also crosses the moral sea of dilemmas.
Hong Kong locale specifically Hong Kong island is one of the majestic backdrops in the film made more majestic by the size of an 8 storey building which is the IMAX screen located at the SM Mall of Asia. The Dark Knight is meant to be seen in IMAX format not in some minuscule size cinema you're used to or on your high definition big screen TV with a pirated DVD of a bootlegged The Dark Knight playing on your awesome Blu-Ray player, and that my friend also crosses the boundary of morality hehehe.
What's really sad about the film is the part when Joker uttered the lines, something like 'We are meant to be mortal nemesis for life that's why I can't kill you and you can't kill me', sad because a different actor will play the Joker if ever the Joker will appear again in future sequels. Batman completes the Joker but a Joker without Heath Ledger won't be completed even with the Batman around. Heath Ledger, you are sorely missed

THE ECHO (Hollywood Version of the Philippines' SIGAW) Movie Trailer , starring Jesse Bradford and Our Very Own IZA CALZADO
Here's the much awaited movie trailer of 'THE ECHO' starring Jesse Bradford (Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers)

The Echo is currently having its premiere today at Fantasia Film Festival 2008 in Montreal, Canada on July 17, 2008

DCRJ's Movie Reviews : SIGAW
Movie Review Date: October 6 2007
Oh man, I missed this one when it was released in December 2004. The film stars Richard Gutierrez, Angel Locsin, Iza Calzado, Jomari Yllana, Ronnie Lazaro and newcomer Ella Guevarra (GMA's Starstruck Kid winner).
Never mind the celebrity stars, the story revolves around a jealous police officer who brutally beats up his wife and daughter in an old apartment building. Marvin (Richard Gutierrez) is their next door neighbor who spends sleepless nights due to the constant commotion next door. The beatened wife Anna (Iza Calzado) usually ask for help of her next door neighbor Jude (James Blanco) for refuge of her daughter Lara (Ella Guevarra). Marvin complains at the building's caretaker (Ronnie Lazaro) and was told in return not to mind the noises. The beatings became violent and Marvin was able to witness the brutality down the hallway...or so it seems. Marvin uncovers a secret that would involve his girlfriend Pinky (Angel Locsin, pre-ABS-CBN days) and moves the story to a shocking revelation.
The use of light and shadow along with masterful camera work by director Yam Laranas made the Pinoy film a disturbingly horrific, rich, artistic and quality product.
This film got rave reviews abroad and was chosen by a Hollywood company which was remade as an American version entitled THE ECHO which incidentally also starred Iza Calzado as the beatened wife and directed by the same director Yam Laranas....will be release in 2008. Yam Laranas was considered as the first Pinoy to direct a major Hollywood film. The Hollywood film company is also the same company behind the American version of the Japanese films THE RING and THE GRUDGE. This is also the reason why I rented the VCD 'Sigaw' today because I haven't seen it in the first place thus the late review of this 2004 flick.
Here's hoping for the film THE ECHO ( to be release in 2008) to be a box office success on par with THE RING. It's high time that the PINOY filmakers finally be recognise for its ingenuity and craftsmanship....move over John Woo/Ang Lee, the PINOYS are COMING !

MANNY PACQUIAO Wants to Fight OSCAR DELA HOYA Not Humberto Sotto !
It's pretty obvious that coach Freddie Roach isn't happy with Bob Arum's decision for Manny Pacquiao's next opponent in the form of Humberto Sotto. IMHO, Manny Pacquiao is now at the level of 'must have/should have' quality opponents, a fight with Humberto Sotto just 'to keep Manny busy' for the coming months is a below average decision on Bob Arum's part. Other than for the reason of avenging Manny's brother's defeat in the hands of Sotto, there aren't any real good reason for a top PPV because Humberto Sotto is just another David Diaz in the making. Manny Pacquiao should be fighting top level opponents e.g. Ricky Hatton which unfortunately is booked in the later part of the year. Freddie asked Manny whom he wants to fight next, Manny Pacquiao answered 'Oscar dela Hoya'
Here's an article from BoxingHerald.Com

Roach to Bob Arum: "We're missing the boat!" Pacquiao wants De La Hoya!
Brad Cooney
“ What sense does a Pacquiao vs Soto fight make?” -- Freddie Roach 7/16/2008
Freddie Roach makes it pretty clear that he's not very happy about Humberto Soto's name being mentioned as Manny Pacquiao's next opponent. Roach also makes it clear that he wants Oscar De La Hoya as Manny's next opponent. A very unhappy Roach goes on the record and shares his thoughts concerning the next fight for Manny Pacquiao. Roach sends a message to Bob Arum, or rather he sends a question to Bob Arum: What in the world are you thinking? What sense does a Manny Pacquiao vs. Humberto Soto fight make?
BH – Freddie, thanks for joining me.
FR – Thanks for having me.
BH – Freddie, I am hearing and reading all over the place that Arum is gunning for Humberto Soto as Manny Pacquiao's next opponent. What are your thoughts on that?
FR – The thing is, Valero was suggested first and I accepted that fight. All of the sudden without calling me, Arum picks Humberto Soto? I talked to Manny last night and asked him if he wants to fight Soto, and he told me that he would fight him. I then asked him if he thinks that is the best fight for him right now. Manny asked me if I thought an Oscar De La Hoya fight could be made. I told him yes, I think it can be made at 147 lbs. I would have Manny come in at 140 lbs and the fight be at around 145lbs. Since we can't get Hatton right now, I think we should go after De La Hoya. I know Manny can beat Oscar right now, I know it.
BH – Are you concerned that in the meantime if Arum persists on getting Soto as the next opponent, that you guys will miss a great opportunity to fight De La Hoya?
FR – Soto lost his last fight -- that fight would be a tough sell for PPV. I trained Oscar in his last fight, and he can't pull the trigger anymore, he's an older guy. If Pacquiao fights like he did against David Diaz, there is no doubt in my mind that he will knockout De La Hoya. I don't want to miss this opportunity. Then after Oscar we can fight Hatton, if he beats Paulie. Those are two huge fights right there.
BH – What do you think Arum's motive is concerning Humberto Soto?
FR – I don't understand it. Soto beat Bobby Pacquiao, but Bobby is no Manny Pacquiao. I mean, what kind of PPV draw would that fight be? We are missing the boat! Oscar has talked about fighting Manny. We can have Oscar make 147 lbs, and we can add another Mexican legend to Manny's resume.
BH – Do you intend to call Arum and try reason with him?
FR – I am very surprised that he hasn't called me about this Soto situation. I asked Manny if Arum talked to him about Soto, and he told me 'no.' I asked Manny if he would like to fight De La Hoya, and he told me, 'Of course,' and he then asked me about the weight, and I told him we would make Oscar make 146 lbs, and we could make the fight.
BH – Do you think Manny could perform at 140 lbs?
FR – He came in at 135 lbs for Diaz, so I wouldn't want him too heavy so we would fight at 140 lbs. If Steve Forbes can hit De La Hoya that easily, imagine what Manny Pacquiao will do to him.
BH – Pacquiao vs. Diaz didn't do too well in PPV. Why do you think Arum would want Soto next? That fight wouldn't do any better in PPV.
FR – It's a tough sell, a Soto vs Pacquiao. It's not a PPV fight, it's a free HBO fight if anything. Valero can only fight in one state, and all of his fights were in Japan, so that's not a PPV fight either really. I would like to negotiate a Manny Pacquiao vs. Oscar De La Hoya fight.
BH – What would you like to say to Oscar De La Hoya?
FR- I want to tell him that he treated me well when I was training him, but I have the better guy right now. Manny is pound for pound the best fighter in the world. Oscar likes challenges, and here is a challenge. I would never take a fight that my guy couldn't win, that's for sure. Money doesn't matter, I know Manny can win this fight!
BH – Closing thoughts?
FR – I read in Pacland how everybody is asking about, WHY SOTO? Well I have the same question. Let's beat De La Hoya, and then beat Hatton next year, and Manny can retire and go down as the greatest fighter of all time.

JEFF CORWIN Perspective - The Jeff Corwin Experience Video Excerpt from 'Animal Planet'
Jeffrey Samuel Corwin (born July 11, 1967 in Norwell, Massachusetts) is best known as the host and executive producer of The Jeff Corwin Experience and Corwin's Quest, two American television shows following his adventures discovering and exploring various kinds of animal life and climates (including locales from all over the world), airing on the Animal Planet cable channel.
Jeff Corwin attended Norwell High School. Jeff spent his freshman year of college at Eastern Nazarene College, which is located in Quincy, Massachusetts. Later he attended Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Jeff has bachelor of science degrees in biology and anthropology. He conducted his graduate studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, obtaining a master of science in wildlife and fisheries conservation and doing work on bats and snakes. In 1999, Bridgewater awarded Corwin an honorary doctorate in public education. He lives with his wife, Natasha, and daughter Maya Rose in Marshfield, Massachusetts.
Corwin first experienced the tropical rain forests in 1984 in Belize. As an undergraduate, he became active in conservation of rain forest in Central and South America and helped establish the Emerald Canopy Rainforest Foundation. He also participated in the youth action committee for the United Nations Environmental Program. He lectures on wildlife, ecology and conservation to audiences throughout the United States. In 1993, Jeff addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations regarding the need to conserve neotropical rain forests.
Corwin's big break into television came about thanks to famed oceanographer Bob Ballard, the man who discovered the wreck of the Titanic, in the 1994 documentary Ballard produced for National Geographic called The Jason Project. Then, after several lean years, Corwin migrated over to the Disney Channel with Going Wild with Jeff Corwin. Eventually, he caught the eye of producers at Animal Planet, and since 2000 he's gone on to explore six of the seven continents- all except Antarctica, so far.
Corwin was also certified as an Advanced Field Medical Specialist by the U.S. Army Academy of Health Sciences, Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
In the spring of 2007 Corwin began a new TV show on the Travel Channel titled "Into Alaska with Jeff Corwin." The show highlights wildlife in Alaska while also having a travel perspective. It was originally aired in letterbox format and it would most likely be in high definition when the Travel Channel HD launches in 2008 if it airs again.
Despite the fact that Jeff frequently handles animals that could be considered dangerous, he has admitted on The Jeff Corwin Experience that he has a minor fear of monkeys.
Corwin's first encounter with snakes taken from an interview with Heartland Magazine:

Corwin's first encounter with snakes taken from an interview with Heartland Magazine:
"When I was, while exploring my grandparent's backyard in Middleboro, Massachusetts, I turned over a log and had an encounter that forever changed my life. I saw this garter snake, and was immediately transfixed by it. I remember catching it and bringing it into the house with me and seeing the terror it unleashed in people, but not understanding why they were so afraid of it. As I've often said, if I'd rolled back that log and found a golf club, I would have been Tiger Woods. I tracked that snake for two years and would visit it every time I went to my grandparents. One day, the neighbor next door snuck up behind me and cut off its head with a spade, thinking it was attacking me. I was so shocked by that behavior, by that expression of ignorance, it focused me on what I was going to do with my life. The day I found that snake was the day I became a naturalist. The day I saw it get killed out of a misunderstanding was the day I became a conservationist"
