Remembering MICHAEL JACKSON (1958-2009) in the Philippines
I also remember Michael Jackson with then-mayor of Paranaque city Joey Marquez when they visited a tertiary Hospital in Paranaque, the Paranaque Community Hospital. Michael Jackson waved at the crowd outside of the hospital which is just in front of a private school, the St. Andrew's School.
Also, Michael Jackson stayed at the historic Manila Hotel during his short stay in Manila, on his way to the hotel with his entourage an ati-atihan dance group dressed in ati-atihan costume danced to the tune of Billie Jean while Michael Jackson amusingly clapped and danced with them in appreciation.
Here's an exclusive photo of Michael Jackson being resuscitated before transfering to the LA Hospital, snapshot from CNN's LArry King Live a few minutes ago
Snapshots of the helicopter with Michael Jackson's body in it on their way to the coroner's place for autopsy
Michael Jackson influenced a lot of Filipino entertainers here in the Philippines with the likes of Gary V., Billy Crawford and Jojo Alejar. Michael Jackson will be forever remembered as the King of Pop just like his ex-Father-in-Law Elvis Presley as the King of Rock & Roll.
MICHAEL JACKSON is DEAD at age 50
I have just finished making a blog about Farrah Fawcett and this sad news came in minutes ago. Sad day in the entertainment world
Remembering FARRAH FAWCETT (the Six Million Dollar Man's wife then) in the 70s in the PHILIPPINES
Posters of Farrah Fawcett with her iconic hair style were tremendously popular here in the Philippines, I got mine at Harrison Plaza. Charlie's Angels TV Show won't be as popular if it weren't for Farrah Fawcett. Charlie's Angels was a tremendous hit here in the Philippines alongside with Starsky and Hutch, Donnie and Marie and the Muppet Show which were all shown on the 'Where You Belong' Network GMA-7 (a pre-Kapuso days).
I also remember another iconic 70s film 'Saturday Night Fever' where Tony Manero, John Travolta's character in the film, had a Farrah Fawcett poster in his room.
This is the iconic poster from the 70s I fondly remember while growing up during my testesterone years
I also had a Farrah Fawcett photo torn out from the pages of Playboy magazine circled in red on the photo above (left to right - my mother Daisy, brother Demy, brother Darwin and me!)
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Farrah Fawcett has died after a long battle with cancer, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Farrah died at 9:28 AM on Thursday at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif.
She was 62.
"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," Farrah's longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, said in a statement to Access. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."
The actress, best known for her role in the '70s TV show "Charlie's Angels" and her iconic hair, was in the hospital earlier this month and a source close to Farrah told Access Hollywood at the time that she was not doing well.
While her condition was deteriorating, those closest to Farrah wanted to take her home for her final days.
Her death comes just days after O'Neal revealed he had asked Farrah to be his wife.
"If she's feeling a little better, I've asked her to marry me again and she's agreed," Ryan said in a new interview with Barbara Walters for ABC's "20/20," set to air June 26.
"We will as soon as she can say, 'Yes.' Maybe she can nod her head. I promise you, we will."
However, a source has confirmed to Access that Ryan and Farrah did not get married prior to her death.
In addition, Access has learned Ryan and Farrah's son, Redmond O'Neal, did not get to see his mother a second time on a court-allowed visit from jail. The last time Redmond saw Farrah was during his first and only court-allowed visit on April 25.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department told Access no requests had been made to transport Redmond to see his mother before she died.
Following her diagnosis with anal cancer in 2006, Farrah waged a very public battle against the disease, documenting her fight in "Farrah's Story," which aired in May on NBC and will re-air on June 26 at 8 PM.
After several rounds of chemotherapy treatments, Farrah announced that she was cancer-free, but in May 2007, the cancer had returned and she underwent further treatment in Germany.
The star was born on February 2, 1947, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Even at a young age, Farrah caught people's attention - she was given the title "Most Beautiful" in high school.
She became an icon for her role as Jill Munroe in "Charlie's Angels" in the mid-'70s, inspiring fans to imitate her feathered blonde hair. She rose to sex symbol status thanks in part to a now-legendary swimsuit poster that sold over 12 million copies.
Farrah left the popular show after a single season, going on to star in a number of films, television shows and made-for-TV movies such as 1984's "The Burning Bed," which earned her an Emmy nomination.
The actress made further headlines in 1995, when she posed for Playboy at age 48.
Farrah is survived by her father James, longtime partner Ryan O'Neal, their son, Redmond O'Neal, who has dealt with numerous legal issues over the last few years, including most recently, an arrest for allegedly trying to bring heroin into an LA-area jail facility on April 5.

MANNY PACQUIAO Should Be on the Cover of EA SPORTS FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4 (2009)
Last year's cover of EA Sports Fight Night Round 3 (2008) is none other than Oscar 'the Golden Boy' De La Hoya. On December 2008 Oscar Dela Hoya was beatened to a pulp by the Filipino legend Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao. Not only was Oscar Dela Hoya defeated but was defeated convincingly with a TKO victory by the mighty Pacman.
News articles heralded Manny Pacquiao as the 'new Golden Boy' dethroning Oscar Dela Hoya. It gave me excitement by just thinking that Manny Pacquiao will soon grace the cover of the popular boxing video game called Fight Night by Electronic Arts in 2009.
Well, to my disappointment, Manny Pacquiao isn't chosen to be the cover of this year's Fight Night Round 4 (2009), instead EA Sports chose the legendary Muhammad Ali with Mike Tyson. Reasons that I could think of perhaps Manny Pacquiao haven't yet earned the honors to grace its cover but didn't Manny Pacquiao pulverized Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton in two rounds a month ago? Manny Pacquiao didn't just defeated Ricky Hatton, Manny totally outclassed The Hitman. If there should be a well-distinguished fighter in 2009 it might as well be Manny Pacquiao on the cover of EA Sports Fight Night Round 4. What do you think ?
...and all they could do is make an ugly rendering of the likeness of Manny, observe the photo above and you could well notice the roughly mean and tough imagery of the Pacman which is a far cry from the actual humble face of the Pacman. Well, you can't win 'em all.
MOYMOYPALABOY Updates: Bozos & Crab Mentality Thinkers at the ManilaTonight.Com
The latest uploaded video of moymoypalaboy "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" has garnered a huge number of hits around the world in a span of just TWO days.
The whole world enjoys the duo while the bozos specially at ManilaTonight.Com currently have been suffering from Crab Mentality Syndrome.
What's really baffles the mind is that the so-called 'Pinoy upper class' or the so-called 'Pinoy intellects' of the moymoypalaboy haters condescend upon these Moymoy Palaboy boys as being 'skwa skwa'. This is what I meant by Crab Mentality...Pinoys look down on Pinoys while the rest of the world look up on these two Pinoys.

MOYMOY PALABOY & the Crab Mentality Thinkers of ManilaTonight.Com
As a matter of fact, the Moymoy Palaboy duo has already LEVELED UP not just by mere lipsynching but also have already released their very own album containing songs with their real voices. They already have a big TV network behind them, hordes of gorgeous Mexicans as well as Pinays as fans.
Yet still, haters I know from the ManilaTonight.Com still argue that the Moymoy duo are copycats of the Back Dorm Boys despite the already proven talent of the duo as seen and heard in their Uploaded DVD album.
Some haters were surprised that the duo can actually sing but most haters still kept their eyes and ears shut and insists on their OUTDATED argument that the duo are mere copycats of the Back Dorm Boys thus failing to see or discover the sheer talent that this Moymoy boys have in the later part of their career when it comes to their actual singing and comedy, heck they even have their own band for their promotional gigs.
I must say that Crab Mentality lingers in the subconscious minds of most Moymoy Palaboy haters specially those bozos at the ManilaTonight.Com, I am even lambasted personally just because I support the duo. For all they didn't know, I support not only the Moymoy duo but other Filipino celebrities as well because I like seeing Filipinos receiving successes in the international limelight and locally as well.
Speaking of the Back Dorm Boys, here's the latest video of moymoypalaboy, uploaded June 22, 2009.

MANNY PACQUIAO Receives 2008 BOXING WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA's Boxer of the Year Award in New York, June 12, 2009
Here's a video courtesy of RedPandemic
Manny Pacquiao's speech in transcription
“Pleasant evening to all the guests, my fellow awardees and the esteemed members of the Boxing Writers Association of America. I would like to congratulate the Boxing Writers Association of America for it's 84th annual awards night. Your long existence only proves that there no association more prestigious than the Boxing Writers Association of America. (applause)
You have passed the test of time. It is my great honor and privilege to be chosen as the 2008 Fighter of the Year. It is for this reason that I chose to travel half across the globe to personally receive this award tonight. (cheers and applause)
Choosing me as the fighter of the year in 2006 was the highest accolade in my boxing career. Giving it to me for the second time leaves me with no words to express the joy and how grateful I feel. It would surely pain me not to come accept this prestigious award personally. I want to let you know that it is a privilege to personally receive this award and thank everybody for their trust and confidence you have given me. Deep in my heart I know how the BWAA has supported me in my boxing career. The members have been kind and wonderful to me in the write-ups.
Who I am, not only in America but the whole world is something I owe to you my friends. And for that, I will be forever grateful. (cheers and applause) For honoring me with this prestigious award, I promise the Boxing Writers Association of America that the boxing fans will see a more exciting Manny Pacquiao, every round, every minute, every second I fight on the top of the ring…
I also hope that this award will serve as an example and an inspiration for the young fighters to believe in themselves and keep on dreaming big. Always remember, your dreams will always be inside you. No one can take it away.
Having this award now is really larger than life; having to follow the footprints of the legendary fighters. But I didn’t do it all by myself. I had the help and support of many people. I’d like to take this rare opportunity to thank all of them, especially to our God. Without God I am not here. For all the blessing he gave me, Thank you.
And to my wife and kids: Jinkee, Michael, Jimwell, Princess and Queen Elizabeth and to my family who supported me- advice, encouragement and comfort over the course of this endeavor having more than I can express.
Mr. Bob Arum, my promoter Bob, Thanks for believing in me.
To my trainer Freddie Roach, Congratulations coach for being the trainer of the year. You deserve it!
To the members of Team Pacquiao, it has been a wonderful year for all of us.
To the Filipino nation who continue to inspire me to do my best. To all the boxing fans, to my fellow nominees who are equally great and excellent in their own way. And to all the people and institutions that I forgot to mention who in one way or another contributed a lot to making everything possible for me. Thank you! This is for you!!!"
(Applause)

BAGONG NAYONG PILIPINO ENTERTAINMENT CITY MANILA - Kick Off Construction in 60 Days
I am awaiting for the construction of Pagcor City aka Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City which will house an integrated resort with a world class theme park, casinos, shopping malls, sports arena and other leisure activities. Speculations on the theme park to be constructed on the Pagcor reclaimed land was said to be another Universal Studios but continued research revealed that the Universal Studios in Singapore have already signed an agreement with its developer (Genting Berhad group of Malaysia) that it will be the only Universal Studios in South East Asia for 30 years ! Another speculation that I have been reading is that a Warner Bros. Movie World will be put up instead. Well, I just hope the theme park to be built on Pagcor grounds would be on par with the best of other theme parks in the world. What I am truly excited about this Pagcor project is that it is conveniently located just walking distance across my clinic here in Baclaran. Current updates on the project can be read below
Here's video I recorded earlier - The Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City Ad as seen on CNN, this ad is currently being played out frequently on CNN
PHILIPPINES INVESTORS DEPOSIT US$300 MLN FOR PAGCOR COMPLEX
MANILA, Jun 12, 2009 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX) -- AZECF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The three main investors in a Philippines casino development have deposited US$300 million - US$100 million each - with Pagcor as assurance of their commitment to the project.
SM Group, Genting Group of Malaysia and Aruze Corp. of Japan are the major investors in the 100-hectare Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment Complex along Manila Bay in Pasay City, and intend to pursue plans to develop the property into the country's premier entertainment complex.
"We want to be assured they are committed to do the project and push through with their plans," said Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) chairman Ephraim Genuino.
Initial investments for the project are expected to reach US$6 billion.
About 100 hectares of the 120-hectare track of the Pagcor property are already allotted to these three developers.
Genuino said SM would kick off construction in 60 days with the fencing of the property that it was going to develop.
The first phase of the three-phased development is expected to be completed in two to three years. It will include hotels, sports arena, museum, world class theme park, and an oceanarium.
Genuino is trying to allay the fears and opposition from some sectors that Pagcor is turning the massive development into a version of Macau-Las Vegas gambling fame.
"Only three per cent of the entire development along the Manila Bay is related to gaming and casinos," he said. The Genting Group would be the developer for the casino and gaming portion.
The larger chunk of the complex would be composed of tourism, entertainment and leisure, and sports facilities.
Included in the new entertainment complex is the already-developed section spanning about 300 hectares that contains the sprawling Mall of Asia complex.
The government has been constantly pushing for the development of the Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City, which Genuino said would create about 200,000 jobs.
The original Nayong Pilipino located near the airport had been closed. It used to showcase the country's pride including famous tourist spots with a touch of history and culture.
Genuino said there were some new foreign operators that had expressed an interest to put additional investment into the complex.
He said these three foreign groups - American, European and Korean - all had existing gaming operations elsewhere and were currently being investigated and assessed by Pagcor to determine if they could also take part in the development of Pagcor City. He did not give further details.
Among the requirements to be part of the Pagcor City development were a minimum investment of US$1 billion towards the investor's intended projects which should be completed in five years and the submission of a concept plan and design.
It would take between three to six months before Pagcor could then determine if these potential new investors could participate, Genuino said.

DAVID CARRADINE (1936-2009) Goodbye 'Grasshopper'
This is the image that I will always remember David Carradine, the serene priest in 'Kung Fu' also known as 'grasshopper' by the Shaolin priest in the TV series.
Carradine was found dead Thursday (June 4, 2009) in Thailand. The 72-year-old actor appeared to have hanged himself in a suite at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel, said Lt. Teerapop Luanseng, the officer responsible for investigating the death.
"I can confirm that we found his body, naked, hanging in the closet," Teerapop said. He said police were investigating and suspected suicide, though one of his managers questioned that theory.
"All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide," said Tiffany Smith, of Binder & Associates, his management company. "We're just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give ... and that's not something David would ever do to himself."
Carradine had flown to Thailand last week and began work on "Stretch" two days before his death, Smith said. He had several other projects lined up after the action film, which was being directed by Charles De Meaux with Carradine in the lead.
David Carradine can be seen in the Jonas Brothers' music video 'Burnin' Up' which was released last year.

Anthony Bourdain is right, we are too damn nice that's why our cuisine doesn't have the impact to make it famous in the culinary world of westerners particularly in the United States of America. I think we aren't boisterous as other southeast Asians, in fact we are too damn shy and not being agressive in promoting anything that is Philippines. Well, that's who we are because we are cool about things even when celebrating. Notice Filipinos in any rock concerts and you'll observe right away that most Filipinos are too shy to be just being energetic, it's not that we aren't having a good time it's just the way things are brought about in our culture.
One thing I like about No Reservations Philippines episode is the liking of Anthony Bourdain on Filipino foods. Mr. Anthony Bourdain even mentioned that the Lechon is the best pig ever in the hierarchy of pigs around the world, now that's really something for Filipinos and that's one way of promoting Filipino cuisine to the world by way of famous celebrity chef named Anthony Bourdain.
Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations Philippines is the best episode ever, that's one way of promoting the episode and being aggressive in this so-called cyber-space named the internet. Well, to tell you the truth, IT IS the best episode ever because I am a FILIPINO and I am damn proud of it !
Sony PSP Latest Model: 'PSP GO' Unveiled in E3 - Release Date October 1, 2009
PCMag.com gets a hands-On with the PSP Go.
video courtesy of gearlogvideo
Release date October 1st, 2009. With a built in 16 gig hard drive.
E3: Hands-On With the PSP Go
When Sony announced the latest version of its PlayStation Portable during its E3 press conference yesterday, the company laughingly referred to it as "the worst kept secret at E3 2009," which was basically true. Rumors about and pictures of the device have been floating around the blogosphere for months--and now that the PSP Go has been confirmed, it turns out that most of them were spot on.
The PSP Go has 16GB of internal Flash memory, built-in Wi-Fi, and integrated Bluetooth. It'll be arriving in stores in October, for $249. I managed to finagle my way into the roped-off portion of Sony's booth on the second day of E3 ito get some solo hands-on time with the device.
check out exclusive photos of the PSP Go.
article and photos from http://www.gearlog.com
DCRJ's thoughts on this: I already got the PSP-1000 and the PSP-2000. Buying another 'latest model' is out of the question in my case. Yeah it's cool that PSP GO has a 16gig HD but 16gig memory card is already available here in the good ol' Philippines which can be put inside the trusty PSP-2000. Games can be downloaded for the PSP Go (no more UMDisc) but that is also the case for my PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 which I download the games from websites, ok you caught me there but legality or illegality is not the issue. The slide-in feature is a nice touch but do we really need it? for showing off yes but do we (or at least, I) really need it? it's another money to burn when I already got the PSP1000 and PSP2000. Unless its hardware is a top notch ahead over old models PSP-1000, PSP-2000 & PSP-3000, the PSP GO is another banana in the same bunch disguise in a new dress.

MANNY PACQUIAO Ready to Accept SUGAR SHANE MOSLEY's Challenge - Video June 3, 2009
But the reigning pound-for-pound king reiterated that he would only climb the ring against Mosley if both their camps would agree on the terms of the fight.
“Walang problema, pwede kaming maglaban basta magkakasundo sa negosasyon," Pacquiao told 24 Oras in an interview from his hometown General Santos City. See video below courtesy of 24 Oras which aired June 3, 2009
Weight issues and money matters remain major considerations in choosing Pacquiao’s opponent for his next outing on October 17.
The camp of the reigning 140-lbs champ wants to set a catch weight should he fight Mosley, the WBA 147-lbs king. And being boxing’s top attraction, the Filipino ring icon would not settle for anything less than a 60-40 split on the purse.
But it appears Mosley is willing to make concessions to meet Pacquiao.
Quoted in a BoxingScene.com report, Mosley said: “I feel I am the best fighter in the world and I am willing to prove it by fighting Manny Pacquiao at a catch weight."
He said he’s ready to go down as low as 144-lbs for the Pacman.
"My last fight, I made 147 easily and feel that I can go down a little bit further to make a matchup between myself and Manny Pacquiao happen. A few pounds maybe 144 we would have to see what is best for all involved," he said.
“I was never a 154lb fighter to begin with. I did those fights just for the matchups. I was a small Junior Middleweight," he added.
Apart from weight concessions, Mosley claimed he would be easier to negotiate with – in terms of purse share - unlike the rest of the entries to the Pacquiao derby like Floyd “Money" Mayweather, Jr.
"Well, one thing I know is that if they are interested, negotiations for this fight would go a lot smoother than what they would for Mayweather, who would demand the lion's share or do everything he can not to make that fight happen. I know that Manny and (Pacquiao trainer) Freddie Roach both want this fight as they know that I won't run, stink the place out or complain about my hands like Floyd would," he said.
Mosley and Mayweather are two of candidates for the Pacman derby along with Pacquiao’s fellow Top Rank fighter, Miguel Cotto, and even old rival Juan Manuel Marquez should he turn the tables on Mayweather in their July 18 encounter.

DCRJ's Movie Review: TERMINATOR SALVATION (2009)
TERMINATOR SALVATON (2009)
I've read some reviews of the latest Terminator series, Terminator Salvation. Some reviews ranged from poor to mediocrely poor, overall ratings was mere 39%. So I was expecting the worst when I entered an SM Cinema to watch TS.
Surprisingly I had a blast, had fun and enjoyed thoroughly the latest Terminator film. Lots of references to the earlier Terminator films. Anton Yelchin played a young Kyle Reese in TS also played a young Chekov in Star Trek (2009)...the Star Trek movie tagline is 'The Future Begins' while the TS movie tagline is 'The End Begins'. The CGI image of Arnold Schwarzenneger was incorporated to a body builder's body to look like the first T-800 in the first Terminator film...some find it funny and hilarious while I say it's amazing how those genuises at ILM did it.
The origin of John Connors' scar on his face as seen in the post-apocalyptic scenes in Terminator 1 and 2 is shown in TS. The trademark movie lines 'I'll Be Back' and 'Come with me if you want to live' is there in TS.
Actress Linda Hamilton's voice is also featured in TS as a recorded voice of Sarah Connors. The actor Michael Papajohn is seen in TS as a baddie who wanted to rape the sexy pilot but got shot in the balls instead is the actor who played the alleged killer of Peter Parker's Uncle Ben in Tobey Macguire's Spider-man.
Although Terminator Salvation has lots of flaw, a flawed storyline and lacking 'the heart' of Terminator 1 and Terminator 2, the film is still enjoyable to watch and behold...I got a kick out of the giant terminator when two robot motorbikes came out of the giant robot's legs ! very cool ! Terminator Salvation has lots of wonderment to offer specially Christian Bale's and Sam Worthington's performances are outstanding.
I am looking forward to Terminator 5 and I will be eagerly awaiting the origin of T-1000 (the mercurial Terminator played by Robert Patrick in Terminator: Judgement Day). Forget about the T-X, it's a bummer.
my personal ratings - 4.5 out of 5 Biscuits CONTINUATION of this article by clicking this link (More VIDEOS and SNAPSHOTS)......
