Kristen Stewart, Rupert Sanders apologize for affair

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Kristen Stewart apologized to long-term boyfriend and "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson on Wednesday for a recent fling in which she was photographed kissing and embracing the director of her most recent movie, Rupert Sanders.

The 41-year-old director of Stewart's film, "Snow White and the Huntsman," also issued a statement on Wednesday saying he was "utterly distraught" over the pain he has caused to his wife and children following his indiscretion with the 22-year-old actress that made headlines around the world.

"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry," Stewart said in a statement to People magazine.

A fling between a Hollywood star and her director is nothing new in showbiz, but this one gained widespread attention because of the high-profile people involved. Stewart, 22, and Pattinson, 26, portray the vampire-human couple of the "Twilight" series of blockbuster romance movies who are deeply in love in the films.

The pair's on-screen romance transferred to their real lives, and they confirmed they were dating in 2010. But they have tried to remain discreet in public and don't often discuss their relationship.

Given their past, Stewart's romantic liaisons with director Sanders, which was reported with photos on celebrity news outlets including People and Us Weekly, surprised celebrity watchers and put the trio in a publicly awkward situation.

"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together," Sanders said in a statement to Reuters.

British director Sanders is married to model and actress Liberty Ross, 33, with whom he has two children. In a twist befitting of a good Hollywood drama, Ross portrayed the mother to Stewart's Snow White in the "Huntsman" tale.

Representatives for Stewart and Pattinson did not respond to Reuters' request for comment.

Most recently, Pattinson and Stewart were together promoting the upcoming final "Twilight" film, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," at San Diego's Comic-Con earlier this month.

Universal Pictures announced in June that they were moving forward with a sequel to "Snow White and the Huntsman," but did not confirm whether Sanders would helm the film. Stewart is expected to reprise her role, but is not confirmed.

WBO panel: Pacquiao defeated Bradley

GMANews - WBO president Francisco Valcarcel has informed RingTV.com that his panel of five international judges all scored Manny Pacquiao as the winner in his June 9 (June 10, PHL time) bout against Timothy Bradley, the boxing site reported Wednesday (Thursday, PHL time).

Pacquiao won by scores of 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, 116-112, and 115-113.

"That's a Solomon-like conclusion," said Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who handles both Pacquiao and Bradley. "Paco [Valcarcel] is a good man, he really is. I have great respect for him and what he says.

"It's appropriate for him to make that final conclusion."

During the fight proper, Bradley won via a controversial split decision, 115-113, 115-113, 113-115. Numerous boxing pundits however, and the viewing public, had Pacquiao winning, sometimes by large margins.

However, the WBO has no power to change the fight's outcome, or to force Bradley into surrendering the title. "The only thing that we can do is authorize a rematch," Valcarcel said Tuesday (Wednesday, PHL time). "We cannot got any further than that. That is in our rules.

"Cameron Dunkin [Bradley's manager] and Top Rank, they have all received the information," added Valcarcel. "Since they all work with the same promoter [Top Rank], they are working on that and we will leave that to them."

Arum has in the past stated that he felt that a rematch between Pacquiao and Bradley would not be profitable, and has been contemplating instead a fourth bout between the Filipino ring icon and Juan Manuel Marquez. Still, with this announcement, Arum is leaving it all up to his moneyman to make the decision.

"My first stop on any quest to determine what to do next is that I have to talk to the guy who is the money generator, and that's Manny Pacquiao," Arum said.

"And I have to then determine after discussions with him what he wants to do next and we'll go from there. Until Manny makes a determination, then I'm like a dog chasing its tail."

The controversial fight resulted in the two United States senators calling for the formation of a national boxing commission. The Nevada State Athletic Commission also plans on reviewing the fight footage with the three judges who gave Bradley the split-decision win. - AMD, GMA News

Justin Bieber fan attacks Kurt Cobain on Twitter

One hardcore Belieber has sparked a war on Twitter after claiming that Justin Bieber is "much bigger" than late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

Twitter user "Amanda Bieber" caused outrage when she compared the popularity of the pop teen to the late grunge singer, suggesting that Justin could be Kurt reincarnate.

"Kurt Cobain (some rock singer) died in 1994, the same year Justin Bieber was born. RT if you think Bieber is Kurt reincarnated," Amanda wrote on her twitter.

Justin was born on March 1 1994, Kurt died on April 5 1994, so that theory doesn't quite add up.

The response on Twitter was less than positive, and "Mrs. Bieber" soon became defensive.

"Justin Bieber is much bigger than Kurt Cobain, so shut up," she fired back at haters. "Did Kurt Cobain have the biggest fanbase on Twitter? No." Mainly because Kurt Cobain died more than a decade before Twitter was invented, but mathematics doesn’t seem to be this kid's strong suit. Her comment was retweeted over 5,000 times and also went viral through Facebook.

"Kurt Cobain is trending because of my tweets about how Bieber is much better than him. I made you relevant Kurt, you owe me!" she responded after Kurt Cobain became a trending topic on Twitter.

She's tweeting to a dead person.

It seems Kurt isn't just the only musician to be at the mercy of "Mrs. Bieber". She's also compared her idol to Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga and even Freddie Mercury.

"LOL at people saying Freddie Mercury was a great role model and Bieber is not. You know Freddie was gay and had AIDS right?"

Of all the negativity that is surrounding the young tweeter, she does have one tender message for her fantasy husband.

"Justin I love you so much please follow me."

New Twitter logo looks like Batman!

Holy spoofs, Batman! Yep, a likeness of Batman is what you'll see if you happen to rotate Twitter's new bird logo 90 degrees counterclockwise.

A Twitter user, Josh Helfferich, tweeted this observation and posted an image of the uncanny likeness.

"So uh... if you turn the new Twitter logo upside-down, it's Batman," Helfferich said.

His photo (pic.twitter.com/zyoTEpJP) showed a black version of the rotated bird logo resembling a side view of a scowling Batman.

Tech site Mashable reported the tweet went viral, with nearly 1,000 retweets in an hour-and-a-half.

Mashable also said the graphic originally appeared on Oliver Twardowski‘s Dribble profile Thursday.

On the other hand, Mashable said a similar image appeared on Reddit earlier Thursday and has been viewed more than 1,600 times.

Mashable said the spoofs come a day after Twitter unveiled a makeover for its bird logo, which has now had three facelifts. — LBG, GMA News

It's a baby girl for Kristine and Oyo

Yahoo Philippines - Kristine Hermosa gave birth to Ondrea Bliss, her first-born by husband Oyo Sotto, last Dec. 26, 11:49 p.m. at St. Luke’s Medical Center at the Bonifacio Global City.

The baby, says Dina Bonnevie, Oyo’s mother, weighed almost six pounds at birth. Kristine had a normal delivery.

“I was with Kristine the whole time she was giving birth,” recalls Dina. “I even wore a scrub suit. Oyo, was taking pictures.”

The proud grandmother describes the baby as “very cute, with a cleft chin and long fingers which she got from Tintin, and Oyo’s thick eyebrows.”

Dina adds that Oyo is not that new to the demands of fatherhood since he and Kristine have an adopted son, Quiel, who is now three years old.

“But since their newborn is a girl, things will be different this time,” adds Dina.

Ram Revilla Murder, Case Closed!

GMA News - The police on Wednesday declared as closed the murder case of aspiring actor-politician Ramgen "Ram" Revilla after investigators tagged the victim's brother and sister as responsible for the crime.

"Opo. Na-solve na po ‘yung kaso, nalutas na," Chief Inspector Enrique Sy, head of the task force looking into the killing, told GMA News Online in a phone interview Wednesday.

Two of Ram Revilla’s siblings — Ramon Joseph "RJ" Bautista, 18, and Ramona Bautista, 21 — were slapped with murder and frustrated murder charges for the killing of their brother and the failed killing of his girlfriend Janelle Manahan.

Ram Revilla, half brother of Sen. Ramon “Bong" Revilla Jr. and son of former Sen. Ramon Revilla Sr., and his girlfriend Janelle Manahan were attacked in his Parañaque City home on Friday, Oct. 28. Manahan survived.

Quoting witness Roel Puzon, police said that RJ masterminded the plan to murder Ram and that Ramona conspired with him to execute it. RJ is in police custody while Ramona is still at-large.

"Matibay po [ang ebidensya] dahil mayroon tayong vital witness na nagsasabi na kasama siya [RJ] sa pagpaplano sa pagpatay at nakita niyang [Puzon] ibinigay noong ating suspect ang pera para pambili ng mga baril na gagamitin kay Ramgen… sa pagpatay," Sy said in a separate interview aired over GMA News TV's “Quick Response Team" (QRT) on Wednesday.

He said they have no witnesses tagging Ramona to the crime but that circumstancial evidence, including her alleged fabricated story of being abducted by the killers, led the police to conclude that she was involved in the crime.

"I assure you na tiningnan natin ang lahat ng angulo nito. Every step of the way we've been very careful. Lahat ng impormasyong pumasok sa amin ay talagang tiningnan namin," Sr. Supt. Billy Beltran, head of Parañaque Police, said in another interview aired over QRT.

Also charged along with the Revilla siblings were Michael Altea and Roy Francis Tolisora, who were earlier arrested by the police. Sy noted that the two admitted breaking into Ram's house.

"Sila po ang nagtuturo na ang nagbigay ng pera kay Bryan ay si Joseph," said Sy.

Three other suspects, identified as Norwin de la Cruz and two others with the aliases Bryan and Glaiza, are still at-large.

Police earlier said they have suspended the hunt for Ramona because jurisdiction over the case is now in the hands of the prosecutor.

"Alam na po ng ating mga operatiba kung nasaan sila, ‘yung mga pinaglalagian nila. At anytime na dumating po ‘yung warrant of arrest ay kukunin po natin kaagad sila," said Beltran.

The remains of Ram were laid to rest before 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Angelus Eternal Garden in Imus, Cavite, said GMA reporter Lei Alvis.

She said that Ramona and Revilla Sr. did not show up for Ram’s burial. Revilla Sr. was rushed to the St. Luke's Medical Center in Taguig City on Tuesday after RJ was taken into police custody.

After the burial, Alviz said Sen. Revilla called on the police to reinvestigate the case because the family cannot believe that RJ and Ramona supposedly committed the crime.

The senator reportedly said, if it is proven that the siblings were involved, the family would have no choice but to follow the rule of law.

Sy said the police was open to a reinvestigation but that their investigation was very "thorough" and not rushed.

"Hindi kami nagmamadali. Mausi po at in-exhaust ang lahat ng means para ma-solve ang kaso na ito," he said. — VS, GMA News

Charice’s father was killed.

YAHOO PHILIPPINES - Ricky Pempengco, father of international singing sensation Charice Pempengco, was stabbed to death last Monday night, October 31.

The incident happened along A. Bonifacio Road, Barangay Laram, San Pedro, Laguna, where Ricky was having a drinking session, a report on the ABS-CBN morning program "Umagang Kay Ganda" said on Tuesday, November 1. He left to buy a cigarette when the suspect, whom local police identified as Angel Capili, Jr., approached him.

The suspect stabbed Ricky with an ice pick. According to the report, Ricky fled but the suspect returned and stabbed him again.

The suspect quickly left the scene. Ricky’s drinking buddies didn’t help him because they were afraid the suspect would hurt them.

Ricky and the suspect had a fight in 2005, the report added.

“Nung 2005 pa yun, yung biktima raw, parang naitulak nya yung suspect. Ngayon, siguro yun din yung dahilan at bumalik yung suspect,” a policeman said in an interview with “UKG.”

Separated

Ricky was separated from his wife Raquel and their two children many years ago. Raquel, a victim of domestic violence, left Ricky and brought Charice and her younger brother with her to search for a better life.

According to abs-cbnnews.com, Raquel was shocked by tragedy. Charice is currently in Jakarta for a concert with David Foster.

Raquel said she and Ricky have lost touch a long time ago.

"Hindi kami nagkausap at wala kaming koneksyon," she told abs-cbnnews.com.

'Masakit pa din'

She added that she has forgiven her husband.

"Kung bakit masakit pa din sa akin at kung mayroon pa din bang love para sa kanya, siyempre ama siya ng anak ko," Raquel added.

Charice, on the other hand, expressed her feelings over her dad’s death on Twitter.

“I loved him and I will still love him. He's still my Dad after all.”

Charice said on her Twitter that she was with someone yesterday who looked like her father, which could also be his form of premonition.

“Last night, may kasama ako pero sabi ko kamukha nya daddy ko. Di ko alam na nagpaparamdam na pala sya,” she said.

“Gusto ko lang malaman nyo, na we had a really great relationship bago nangyari lahat ng gulo. Sinabi niya sa akin nung ako'y bata pa na hindi actually alam ni mommy, gusto nya akong maging sundalo kasi sabi niya matapang daw ako. I loved him and I will still love him. He's still my Dad after all,” Charice added.

In an interview with “Umagang Kay Ganda” today, Ricky’s sister expressed her thoughts saying that Charice’s family might now be happy because of her brother’s death.

“Siguro masaya na sila kase wala na ang kapatid ko,” Ricky’s sister said.

Charice lashes back at father's siblings

Charice, meanwhile, expressed her resentment.

“Para sa mga kapatid ng daddy ko, wala kayong karapatang sabihin o hulaan ang nararamdaman ko. Sino kayo para sabihing masaya ako sa pagkawala ng SARILI KONG AMA? Kapatid lang kayo at ako ay ANAK,” she tweeted.

“Kung natatandaan nyo, KAYO MISMO ANG NAGSABI SA AMIN NA IWASAN ANG DADDY KO. Sinabi nyo pa na wag gamitin ang apelyido nya. Hindi pinagbawal ni mommy na dalawin ang daddy namin pero HINDI NYO KAMI PINAYAGAN. Wala kayong respeto sa PAMILYA NYA para sabihin nyo yan ngayon! Imbis na ayusin nyo, sinisira nyo pa! ,” Charice said on Twitter.

Charice shared that she admits feeling resentful towards her father before, but she didn’t disown him. She added that she is not afraid expressing her feelings, especially to those who don’t have respect.

“Alam ko na nagalit ako sa kanya! Pero hindi ko sinabing itinatakwil ko sya! matagal akong naging tahimik sa mga eskandalong ginagawa nyo. Pero ngayon, di ko na kaya pati sa pagkamatay nya GANYAN PARIN KAYO. Hindi ako takot. Lalo na sa mga taong walang respeto,” Charice said.

Charice is slated to do a concert in Singapore for “David Foster and Friends Concert Tour,” but due to the tragedy, she has canceled her appearance and apologized to her Singapore fans.

“I am very sorry to all my fans from Singapore. I am not going to be there to be part of David Foster and Friends concert. I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family. I hope you all understand. I love you all and I will see you next year,” Charice said.

Shaina: Im not insecure!

PEP.PH - "Lahat siguro ng pinagdaanan ko sa buhay ko."

"Nakilala ko ang sarili ko. Kung ano yung capabilities ko. "

"Kung ano yung kaya kong gawin at hindi ko kayang gawin sa kapwa ko."

Boy Abunda then turned to John Lloyd Cruz, na nakikinig lamang sa mga naging pahayag ni Shaina Magdayao.

Upon listening to Shaina, ano ang gusto nitong sabihin?

"Ako, nirerespeto ko ang pagpunta namin dito. I respect the story.

"And to tell you honestly, Tito Boy, ngayon ko lang narinig 'yan kasi ang tagal naming hindi nag-usap.

"So, nirerespeto ko yun," saad niya.

Totoo bang nag-apologize siya kay Ruffa pagkatapos na mag-text ni Shaina?

"Yeah, totoo yun," pag-amin ni John Lloyd.

"Tinawagan ko siya kasi hindi malinaw sa akin, e. Hindi malinaw sa akin yung mga nangyari.

"Pagkabasa ko ng phone ko, may mga text messages na hindi maganda ang laman and they were not intended for me.

"So, alam ko, may problema.

"Ang inisip ko, instantly, ayoko nang palakihin pa. Ayoko siyang idamay.

"Sabi pa nga niya sa akin, 'Okay, I won't say anything about it para huwag nang lumaki.'"

Sa puntong yun ay hindi napigilan ni Shaina na matawa nang mahina.

Sabi naman ni John Lloyd, "I was just trying to do the right thing, Tito Boy."

BREAK OR NOT. Pagkatapos nito at tinanong ni Boy sina John Lloyd at Shaina kung ano ang estado ng relasyon nila ngayon. Sila ba ay hiwalay na?

Natatawang sagot naman ni John Lloyd tungkol sa tanong, "Akala ko sa dulo yun, a!

"Hindi... nandoon kami Tito Boy sa... I think, after our conversation the other night, malinaw naman sa amin na ina-acknowledge naman na namin na meron kaming pinagdadaanan.

"Meron kaming hinaharap na medyo mahirap.

"And pareho kami na nag-a-agree na alam namin pareho kung ano ang dapat at kailangan naming gawin."

Ayon naman kay Shaina, "Siguro na-realize namin na if para bang gusto namin na maayos pa, or siguro gusto namin na tapusin na, kailangan i-work out namin ang personal issues namin.

Sen. Bong Revilla, Strike offer P500,000 reward for tip leading to Ram’s killers

Yahoo Philippines - Sen. Bong Revilla and his brother, Bacoor mayor Strike Revilla are offering a P500,000 reward to anyone who can give any tip or information leading to the killers behind their younger brother Ram Revilla’s brutal death.

This, they revealed in an official statement they issued to the press which says: “The family and loved ones of Ram Revilla deeply mourn his brutal and heinous murder. The entire Revilla family calls on the public to pray for the peaceful repose of his soul . To assist in the immediate resolution of the case, Senator Bong Revilla and Mayor Strike Revilla of Bacoor shall provide a reward of P500,000 for any tip or information that will lead to the immediate capture and conviction of the perpetrators of this dastardly crime. Again, we humbly request the public to pray for justice for Ram.”

Ram was proclaimed dead on arrival at the Paranaque Medical Center past midnight today after an unknown gunman entered their house in BF Homes.

Bong remembers Ram as a good, friendly and helpful young man who would call him Kuya and consult him whenever he had problems.

“He was my late mom’s favorite. My dad (former senator Ramon Revilla) would bring him to the house.”

Bong added that Ram wanted to run for Imus councilor in the next elections. But Bong advised him to wait for awhile so he can be better prepared for the job.

Bong is even proud of his late half-brother’s political lineage on his mother side.

“Ram’s mom, Genelyn Magsaysay, is related to former president Ramon Magsaysay and senator Ramon Magsaysay Jr.,” reveals Bong.

Ram, 22, proved showbiz ran in his veins when he joined ABS-CBN’s “Tonyong Bayawak” and GMA’s “Kamandag.”

His remains lie at the family-owned Angelus Eternal Garden in Imus, Cavite. Interment is on Nov. 2.

David Beckham, LA Galaxy to play Azkals in Manila in December 3.

AKTV - The Los Angeles Galaxy, led by football glamor boy David Beckham, will visit Manila on December to play against the Philippine national men’s football team at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium.

The apparent announcement was made by Azkals team coordinator Patrick Ace Bright on his Twitter account on Saturday night.

The game is scheduled on December 3, with members of the Galaxy also looking to conduct a football clinic prior to the match.

The Galaxy squad had long been scheduled to play in Australia against the Melbourne Victory on December 6. An earlier report by Agence France-Presse said that the American side was in negotiations to book dates in Southeast Asia, with possible stops in Singapore and Indonesia.

If it pushes through, the Manila leg of the LA Galaxy tour would come as a pleasant surprise, as the Philippines has never been a priority for football clubs touring Southeast Asia. Earlier this year, Liverpool played a series of exhibition matches in Singapore and Malaysia.

Beckham figures to be the biggest draw for the Galaxy, which also features stars Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane. It could also be one of the last opportunities to see Beckham in an LA kit, as his contract with the club ends at the end of the season.

Ram Revilla killed in shooting and stabbing incident

YAHOO.PH - Ram Revilla, half-brother of Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla, was declared dead on arrival at the Paranaque Medical Center today past midnight after being shot and stabbed in his home in Paranaque City.

According to a report from ABS-CBN News, Bong told DZMM that his brother was shot and stabbed by a gunman who entered their house in BF Homes. Ram’s girlfriend, Janelle Manahan, sustained a gunshot wound and is under observation.

Ram, 22, is the son of former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. and Genelyn Magsaysay. He is also an actor and has appeared in ABS-CBN’s “Tonyong Bayawak” and GMA’s “Kamandag.”

Bong cited a police report saying that Ram was gunned with a 9 mm or a .45 caliber gun and was stabbed.

No enemy

“Wala akong alam na may kagalit ito. Ang alam ko, gusto niya...nagaambisyon siya na tumakbo na konsehal sa bayan ng Imus," he said.

According to his Facebook page, Ram plans to run as councilor in Imus, Cavite. Bong described Ram as a kind person.

“Mabait na tao ito, wala akong masabing masama. Paborito ng daddy ko 'to,” he said.

Bong said they don’t know how to break the news to their father, who is currently sick. Bong also noted that robbery is not the motive as nothing has been taken from the house.

"Sobra ang galit para gawin ito," Bong said. The Revilla family wants to seek justice for the heinous crime.

Inuman Elementary School :D :D :D

Siguro eto na ang pinaka Masayang school. Hahahahaha

Best Halloween costumes of 2011

Halloween is coming up, and, yes, it’s on a Monday, but promised parties the weekend before should allow just enough excitement for costume purchases and creations to sky rocket as usual. Costumes can soar to unimaginable prices and on a college-student budget you can either save up for a few months for the ultimate costume, or make something yourself.

The following costume ideas can either be purchased at said ridiculous prices or created for less. Leggings, sweaters and a mild amount of creativity can be thrown together to make almost any costume.

Here are the top costumes you’ll be seeing (or wearing) this weekend.

Celebrity costumes

Mass interest in karaoke and Rock Band, along with the amount of people looking for their big singing break on YouTube, suggests that a great deal of today’s population dream of being rockstars. Halloween can help you there. Imitate celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Ke$ha or the very recognizable band KISS for an easy costume creation or purchase.

To be any of those ladies, pop on a wig, coordinated with said popstar’s current look, glue some candy, stuffed animals or sharp objects onto a leotard and add some stripper heels and ripped stockings for the ultimate diva look.

KISS requires some simple black and white face paint, black leggings and long sleeve shirt with some silver fabric to cut into lightening bolts. Super glue the lightning bolts you’re so proud of onto the clothes you hopefully don’t care that much about, and done.

Charlie Sheen took over the tabloids (and the news stations) this year with his “winning” attitude. You, too, can pick up his drinking problem, just for the night, and easily look like the man who is making bank off of your imitation. Some knock off Ray Bans and a bowling shirt or a black shirt with “#winning” written on it, throw on a straw hat for good measure and your fellow parties will know your drinking abilities should not be challenged.

Humorous costumes

Because we are so influenced by pop culture and the music videos it produces, Bruno Mars has something to do with the popularity of the monkey mask that has been making its way around the Halloween stores as the party animal costume.

A significantly cheaper alternative is to just buy the mask and create the rest yourself. A trip to Old Navy for a cheap sweater to write “party animal” on will get the point across, without having to consume jugs of beer that the monkey totes around in the music video. Plaid shorts are optional and everyone has pants so this costume is a piece of cake.

Angry Birds, a cell phone epidemic you’d have to live under a rock to not hear about, is a Halloween craze for every age group. Purchasing one of these costumes can be on the pricier side, but access to black pants and a red shirt can help recreate this look for a more reasonable price. Get your most artistic friend to copy the angry bird face onto your shirt and then proudly fight off pigs for the rest of the night.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been around for ages and with recent news of plans for a new movie and series in 2012, this a perfect costume for Halloween. Be ahead of the curve this year by taking charge of your favorite character regardless of if you want to be dressed head to toe in a green suit or if you want to add some sex appeal into the mix.

To make the first costume, get the turtle mask, green tights and green shirt. To add a yellow stomach, tie fabric colors around the middle of the stomach and knees, and skip the shell for an easy costume.

If a sexy costume is what you’re after, my sewing skills are limited and the only tip I can offer is to suck it up and buy the costume.

Who's really in charge of EDSA's streetlights? MMDA or DPWH?

GMANews.Tv - So who's really in charge of EDSA's streetlights?

This was the question on many online Filipinos' minds when the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) pointed at each other when asked by one concerned netizen whom to contact concerning the maintenance of the highway's lighting.

Facebook user Ronnel Cuison posted on the official MMDA page to complain about the darkness on EDSA at night due to lack of functional streetlights. The MMDA's social media team responded, saying they would recommend Cuison's concern to the DPWH. Cuison then posted on the DPWH's Facebook page a paraphrased version of his first post, only to be pointed back to the MMDA.

A screengrab showing Cuison's brief correspondence with both MMDA and DPWH has made its rounds on social media, effectively drawing flak at the two agencies' seeming lack of accountability.

However, Beth Pilorin, chief of the DPWH Public Information Division, issued the following statement to GMA News Online:

"Maintenance of streetlights along EDSA, or any national or local road within their jurisdiction, is the responsibility of the concerned Local Government Units. Inasmuch as the LGUs in Metro Manila are under the Metro Manila Development Authority, the MMDA should be on top of it. Hence, we advised the message sender that this is the concern of MMDA."

MMDA's Traffic Discipline Office Director Yves Gonzalez also clarified his agency's stand, saying,

"EDSA streetlights are managed by several entities. [Streetlights on] EDSA Buendia-Ayala [is under the responsibility of] DPWH; EDSA Taft-Roxas, MMDA; Edsa Shaw, Mandaluyong LGU and EDSA Buendia flyover, Makati LGU.

"During the first query, we were well-informed that the person is pertaining to EDSA Ayala due to numerous videos and posts.
