Charice's Valentine TV special to air globally

"It feels so good to be home," said the Filipino international singing sensation Charice Pempengco as she opened her Valentine TV special Charice: One for the Heart, which aired last Sunday on GMA-7. As a Filipino, the Philippines may be her 'home,' but as an international performer, the whole world is her 'stage.'

And so, after "wowing" her Filipino fans locally, Charice is set to amaze her global following as GMA Network broadcasts the special globally through its international channel GMA Pinoy TV on February 17 (Middle East, Europe and Asia Pacific) and February 19 (U.S.A and Canada) , in all territories covered by the said channel.

MANILA, Philippines – A Pulse Asia survey reveals that 69% of Filipinos like former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to stay in the country to face the criminal charges against her.

These charges include the non-bailable crime of electoral sabotaged for which the former president is now detained.

Sources privy to the results of the survey done by Pulse Asia said respondents were asked the question: “Do you agree or disagree that former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo should be allowed to leave the country to be able to seek medical treatment even though there are plunder and electoral fraud cases that have been filed against her?”

Reproductive Health in Filipino Culture

As far as I have been exposed to the way of life and culture of Filipinos, we are a group of people who intensely value the family. Despite our exposure to western culture and practices via information technology, we genuinely value family bonds. Economic well-being comes second to a united family.

Tourism: It's Local!

In fine, tourism is local, not national. And local is about being ourselves in our best.

“Pilipinas Kay Ganda!” This aborted re-branding for the Philippines was supposed to replace “Wow! Philippines.” On TV, DOT Secretary Lim explained that the reason behind this effort was because “Wow! Philippines” was only effective locally and did not work outside the country.

But as it turned, the DOT did a rush job that simply went kaput. Worse, the website for the campaign was only a letter different from a porn site. Sec. Lim then admitted that they did not do their homework. Worst, such “Kay Palpak” is at our expense.
