“A Secret Affair”

Tweet

Andi Eigenmann, Derek Ramsay and Anne Curtis in an intriguing love triangle story. A Secret Affair tackles the same theme about lies, temptations and rules in a relationship. This is directed by Nuel Crisostomo Naval, Story and Screenplay by  Mel Mendoza-Del Rosario.  A Secret Affair, produced by Viva Films and will be in cinemas October 24, 2012. 

“A Secret Affair” is the much-anticipated follow-up to the trendsetting VIVA FILMS’ blockbuster, “No Other Woman” – the highest-grossing Filipino dramatic movie of all time.

In a seeming reprisal of his previous role is Derek Ramsay as Anton, a successful businessman who is caught between true love and a deep-seated secret affair.  Andi Eigenmann plays the role of Sam, the third party and anchor of the heated love triangle.  She unknowingly falls madly in love with Anton after previous consensual encounters during his time of heartache caused by his fiancee’s departure before their wedding.  Rafi, portrayed by FAMAS Best Actress Anne Curtis for ” No Other Woman”, is the fiancée who, after realizing her mistake, got back with Anton during the time he is neck-deep in a relationship with Sam.  This, with all the twists and turns, creates what should be kept as “A Secret Affair”.

CCTV Patrol : Why Concerned Citizens Taking Videos Are Sending Them To “TV PATROL”

Tweet

Citizens can send in their videos.  “TV Patrol” is empowering and engaging ordinary citizens in determining the day’s headlines via its segment ‘CCTV Patrol’ or Concerned Citizens Taking Videos Patrol, an initiative that capitalizes on people’s ability to gather news content and information due to their access to social media and technology.

‘CCTV Patrol’ features photos and videos about anything significant, remarkable, or bizarre in their communities captured using mounted closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, cellphones, and other gadgets and sent in by them.

 “TV Patrol” anchor ‘Kabayan’ Noli De Castro said a huge chunk of the videos they receive and report in the newscast depict crimes that need police intervention. The team of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs reporters will also see to it that each criminal incident aired in the segment will be probed and monitored until the perpetrators face justice.

“What’s important is the media and citizens can take part, and not simply complain about the crime situation in the country. This time, we aid the police authorities in solving crimes by being vigilant and alert,” said Kabayan.

To date, ordinary people's contributions to "CCTV Patrol" have led to some of the biggest stories that hit the headlines and revolutionized broadcast journalism in terms of reaching audiences and giving them the opportunity to influence and contribute to the news cycle.

CCTV PATROL report

One of the most notable videos shown in ‘CCTV Patrol’ was the robbery of alleged fugitives in a 7-Eleven convenience store in Manila and a LBC outlet in Parañaque. After the airing of Zyann Ambrosio’s report in September, the police had received numerous text messages detailing information about the suspects, which ‘TV Patrol” announced through a follow-up report.

 A CCTV footage of several men kicking and pointing a gun at a man inside his own home also went viral online after it was aired on ‘CCTV Patrol’ in August. Netizens heavily discussed the video and slammed authorities for their supposed inaction on the incident that occurred in April. Following the ‘CCTV Patrol’ report, the police had immediately identified the suspects to be members of the notorious ‘akyat-bahay gang’ and were later captured.

The police have also launched a manhunt for the suspects involved in the shooting and robbery of an ABS-CBN account executive and his companion in Mandaluyong based on a ‘CCTV Patrol’ report of a footage of the surveillance camera footage set up at the site of the incident.

Due to the success of the segment, Kabayan stressed the importance of the continued involvement of Bayan Patrollers and citizens to uncovering newsworthy events Filipinos need to know. 

“I encourage everyone to make good use of their cellphones and gadgets instead of recording trivial videos and forwarding gossip. This is a big help. The police no longer have excuses in not being able to arrest criminals identified in a footage,” he said.

Aside from airing videos that show the stealing of a motorcycle, side mirrors of a vehicle, sacks of rice, medical supplies, and cellphones, ‘CCTV Patrol’ has also broadcast footages of gruesome crimes such as the slaying of a DENR official in Isabela and the brutal killing of a doctor in Bacolod by two young men. Several CCTV reports have also been used as proof in police investigations involving the kidnapping of infants in a hospital and a grocery store.

Also serving as warning to commuters was a video filmed by a Bayan Patroller using his cellphone showing a man scouring the bag of a sleeping passenger. The said deed was described by police authorities as a method employed by a certain ‘eskoba gang’ in air-conditioned buses.

The ‘CCTV Patrol’ segment not only showcases videos of crime but also of accidents including the collision of a bus and a van in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, a CCTV footage of a car smashing a van parked along a street, and the rescue the driver who was stuck in a van after a rollover.

Billiards Legends

Tweet

People, young and old, really enjoy being the part of the sport, as venturing into, as the player or simply watching. I played sometimes – basketball and billards.

There are individual or team sports that enjoy a significant following among the majority of Filipinos. Those sports afficionados  undoubtedly get hooked into certain popular if it is accessible to everyone. Like basketball, volleyball, and billiards are popular  among Filipinos, as always waking up in the morning and look at the result of a favorite sport in newspapers.

Among the sports I always love to watch, basketball, volleyball, football, boxing and billiards. Billiard halls are sprouting everywhere, especially after the high profile success of Filipino billiard players.

The Philippine billards legends -  Efren Reyes , professional pool player and a two-time world champion, considered to be one of the all-time greats in the games of nine-ball and one-pocket. Reyes, known by his nickname "Bata", and is also referred to as "The Magician" for his superb skill at the pool table.  Francisco Bustamante, professional pool player nicknamed "Django" is the reigning World Pool Champion. Also, Ronnie ‘The Volcano’ Alcano and Dennis ‘Robocop’ Orcollo attended the  billiards tournament, they played an exhibition game among themselves.

The Philippine government and advocate people continuously support the country’s various sports, events and athletes.

"Billiards now matches the popularity of basketball among Filipinos, especially the youth. Support for this sport should be encouraged and enhanced," said Sen. Villar, who led the ceremonial 'break' of the billiards tournament.

The Villar Foundation, led by its Chairman and Managing Director—Senator Manny Villar and Former Las Pinas Representative Cynthia Villar is staging the 2012 series of Villards Cup billiards tournament . Villards Cup is one of the sports-oriented programs of the Villar Foundation to encourage the youth to engage in sports, and keep them away from the streets and from illegal drugs.

Among the advocacies of the Villar Foundation is grassroots sports development throughout the country. In its 20 years of service, various sports programs have been implemented to support this thrust including Sports sa Barangay, football clinics among other.

The Villards Cup has been staged in key cities of the Philippines and has featured the best Filipino cue artists and has paved the way in discovering future billiard players.

Popular sports players considered the best in their respective sports,  their athletic skills are considered world class. They are the epitome of discipline, perseverance, and excellence. They have contributed immensely to the popularity and the development of sport in the Philippines. And hopefully for the youth empowerment and and sports development.
