Eugene Domingo is PETA's BONA

-
Eugene Domingo's popularity both as a TV actress and movie star is undeniable.  Every Filipino, young or old, knows Eugene because of her movies that are box-office hits for their entertainment quality.  I cannot forget the first movie of Eugene that I watched, Kimi Dora.  The plot is really simple and common, but Eugene's deadpan portrayal of her characters is just funny and totally hilarious.  I tried not to miss the chance to see "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank," an indie film that also earned Eugene many awards and brought her fame, both here and abroad.



Eugene took a hiatus from theater and concentrated in other projects in tv and the movies but her real ticket to entering the world of acting is theater.  And now, she made a comeback through the classic Lino Brocka film 'Bona'.   PETA's Bona is set in current times where Bona is more empowered and have a stronger spirit. The story line is the same, but the situations and circumstances leading to the climax are somewhat  modified to suit the more current setting of the play.   The basic plot of Bona obssessing over her idol, Gino Sanchez (played by Edgar Allan Guzman) who eventually dumps Bona for a starlet is not missing.   You should not miss the return of Uge to theater via Bona and see Eugene's  take of Nora Aunor's Bona.





Bona will run until September 23, 2012 at The PETA Theater Center
No.5 Eymard Drive, New Manila.

          Hate crimes in New York specifically directed towards Asians have become rampant in the past few years. We have heard of random attacks towards Asians inside the subway, in the streets of New York happen in the past two years or so.  Will we ever see the end of it?  What triggers these hate towards Asians?   Last Saturday, the Philippine Consulate General in New York issued an advisory.  Apparently, one Filipino tourist from Cebu was the latest victim of an assault stemming from hatred towards Asians.  This attack happened near the Philippine Center in Manhattan last Wednesday. rappler.com           The consulate posted in its Facebook page that the 18-year old victim who is from Cebu, suffered facial injuries because he was beaten up.  Authorities still can not confirm whether the attack was a random act of violence or an anti-Asian hate crime.         Records have shown that it was the 41st incident that involved a Filipino who was either a victim of a hate crime or an act

A Day in the Rising Food Mecca of Bulacan: San Miguel De Mayumo (Part 1)

-
Image
To call San Miguel de Mayumo the "Rising Food Mecca of Bulacan " would be a misnomer because San Miguel has been home to many food manufacturers, restaurants and local fastfoods for many, many years contrary to what I had thought about San Miguel before.  Upon seeing for myself the vast talent and  resources this seemingly quite little town has, my opinion changed to a 360-degrees.   San Miguel should be recognized for its culinary background and heritage.                     I learned that if you don't watch what you will eat here, especially the chicharon from Goyena's, you're going to be happily eating your last meal, just kidding!  But that putok-batok-can't-put-it-down goodness and crunchy-till-the-last bite has become a must-buy "pasalubong" from the Bulacan province.  Who can resist this crunchy delicacy that has been featured in a number of travel shows in the country?
