<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The achor was meant to say that the Huangyan islands also known as Scarborough or Panatag shoal that claimed by both nations is China's territory. </span></span><br />

Human Rights and Discrimination Is Also Victim Of Abuse

<p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kung babalikan natin ang mga Kasaysayan siguro alam niyo na ang kahulugan ng mga salitang yan at kung sino ang mga biktima nito noon. Ang dalawang salitang abusong ginagamit sa panahong ito at madalas idinadahilan ng mga taong masyadong kinakawa ang mga sarili nila.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kailan lang nangyari sa Kagululuah sa <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; line-height: 16px;">Parañaque</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; line-height: 16px;"> City kuung saan Pinaglaban ng mga ngpoprotesta ang lupang di nila pagaari. Kinasawi ito ng isa na nabaril ng di pa nakikilalang salarin. Pero Hindi yun ang nagpakulo ng dugo ko kundi ang mga sinabe ng mga nagprostesta sa interview pagkatapos ng insidenteng yon. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Walang kalaban laban na tao? Sinasabe ba nya eh yung mga taong bumabato ng bato at dumi ng tao sa mga pulis?  at kung may nahampas man ng pananga nun mga panahon na yun eh dahil sa pinaglalaban na nila ung kaligtasan nila. Human Instinct na dapat pairalin nung mga oras na yun dahil sa kahit anung paraan na pagganti ng pulis sa mga nagpoprotesta eh aakusahan sila na lumalabag sa karapatang pantao kaya ang magagawa lang nila eh ang protektahan ang sarili nila hangang sa magsasawa ang nga tao sa pagbato ng bote,dumi at bato sa kanila. Alam na naman ng mga taong nakatira dun ang ending nila dahil sa hindi naman nila pagaari yan. Para kasing pinaglalaban mu hangang kamatayan ang bagay na hindi pala sayo.At kung sasabihin nilang hindi, kalokohan na yun.</span><br />

<span class="fullpost" style="font-family: inherit;">Isa pang issue ngayun ang pagsali ng mga trans-gender sa  Miss Universe. Di kase pinayagan nung una ang pagsali ng isang trans-gender pero pagkatapos ng maraming paguusap at drama pinayagan din ito. Sabe naman ng isang Gay-lesbian group dito sa Pilipinas eh isang diskriminasyon to sa parte nila. Diba parang sumusobra na ito? Dahil sa tingin ko eh ang Miss Universe ay isang pribiliheyo ng pagiging babae. at kung papayagan man siguro ang mga babae na sumali sa Miss Gay eh sasabihin din nilang Diskriminasyon to. May para sa babae, may para sa lalake at may para sa mga trans gender di pwede lahat ng hindi natin nakukuha ay isisisi natin sa kasarian, itsura o estado sa buhay. Hindi pwede lahat ng bagay eh Diskriminasyon. May Ano para sa Ano. Hindi nagtatanung ang isang Matabang tao kung dahil ba sa timbang nya kaya hindi sya tinanggap sa trabaho, o Hindi nagtatanung ang babae kung pangit ba sya kaya di sya kinuhang sekretarya. Dahil hindi nila ginagawang kawawa ang tingin nila sa sarili nila pero oras na sa iba to mangyare Diskriminasyon ang isisigaw nito. Lage nilang sinasabe na kung kailan daw matatagangap ng lipunan ang mga trans-gender. Ewan ko ba pero sa pagkakaalam mo tangap na ng lipunan ng buo buo ang trans-gender bago pa man ako pinanganak pero may iilan parin awang awang sa sarili nila.

Na laking pasasalamat natin ay malamang sa malamang tapos na. Inaabuso na lng natin ang mga salitang ito sa panahon ito.

Coming soon to a theater near you: Bob Ong's 'Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin'

<p><div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
I was searching for a book review for "Lumayo Ka Nga Sa AKin" by Bob Ong when I found this article from Interaksyon. Cant wait to see in a full length movie, but must read the book first.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">
Fans of Bob Ong, rejoice! His latest novel, “Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin,” is about to get made into a movie. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
Just don’t expect the bestselling author to come out and acknowledge the applause. True to his mystique of anonymity, only his publisher showed up to sign the contract with the producer.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
Nobody knows who Bob Ong is. That is not his real name. His identity is a tighly guarded secret at his publishing house, Visprint. The guessing game is part of his growing legend as possibly the most successful Filipino author today. </div>

<span class="fullpost">Before the end of the month, a contract that includes the rights to the author’s first novel, “A B N K K B S N P L Ako,” was signed at the Viva office by Viva executive vice president Vincent del Rosario and Visprint’s Nida Ramirez, representing the author.</span></div>

Pre-production is already in progress for “Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin,” a satirical look at commercial filmmaking with three different stories rendered in screenplay form. </div>

On paper, the book looks tailor-made for the big screen. But Ong thought otherwise.</div>

“I have doubts about the suitability of ‘Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin’ for a feature film,” he noted in his first email to Viva. “It could be tricky, and much of the humor could be lost in translation. I don't see it as a movie at the moment. But if you have a vision and a team which is up to the challenge, I'd be glad to let my publisher discuss the possibilities with you.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
For the past few years, Viva has been trying to start a specialty division that will house fresh, forward-thinking, out-of-the-box films. The perfect material has eluded the company until he read Ong’s 9th novel.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
“‘Lumayo’ is what we have been looking for,” Del Rosario said. “It’s the kind of non-formulaic film with commercial appeal that we want our new division, Sunshine Films, to carry.” </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
Del Rosario sees this adaptation of Ong’s novel as a return to the 30-year old movie company’s roots. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
“Viva made a name for itself in the ‘80s with a string of hit movie adaptations of komiks material such as ‘Mahawi Man Ang Ulap.’ We also made an adaptation of Nick Joaquin’s short story “Tatarin.” So we are just going back to that literary tradition.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
Didn’t Viva take offense at the material, which pokes delirious fun at the very school of commercial moviemaking that happens to be the company’s bread and butter?</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
Del Rosario thinks this project will show that Viva can take a joke.</div>

“We enjoyed the novel because it’s so true. We see ourselves doing the very clichés that Bob Ong satirizes wonderfully in the book,” he said.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
Viva has tapped Mark Meilly, award-winning writer and director of acclaimed comedies ‘Crying Ladies’ and ‘La Visa Loca’ and the historical film ‘Baler,’ to lead the project. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 5px;">
The choice has received Ong’s approval.</div>
