Cerge Remonde Passes Away

January 19th, 2010

I was saddened by the news at the passing of Cerge Remonde, GMA’s press secretary, shortly before noon today.
Although Cerge was vituperated by many for his staunch support and loyalty for GMA’s policies, he was the kind of man who wouldn’t allow power to get to his head.
I met Cerge when I worked for Sun-Star [...]

Doctor Manny Pacquiao

February 20th, 2009

I can almost hear it: Ring announcer Michael Buffer, in introducing Manny Pacquiao, saying, “Doctooorrrr Mannyyyy Pacmaaaannnn Pacquiao!”
I know of no other boxer who entered the ring carrying a doctorate degree, even if it was honorary. Manny Pacquiao will hold that distinction when he enters the ring against Ricky Hatton. He was recently conferred an [...]

Ms. Cebu Boo-boo and Brouhaha

January 22nd, 2009

Somebody made a boo-boo during the recently held Ms. Cebu 2009 pageant. In announcing the Globe Texters’ Choice award, candidate #12, Kris Tiffany Janson’s name was called (she was later crowned Ms. Cebu). It turned out that the Globe Texters’ Choice was, in fact, Kimberley Therese Burden.
Now, the Burden family is causing a raucous for [...]
