Angel Locsin nominated in International Emmy Awards 2009

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000

The nominees for the 37th International Emmy Awards have been released by the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (IATAS) yesterday and among them are three distinctions from the Philippines. Kahit Isang Saglit, a television drama co-produced by ABS CBN and Malaysia’s Double Vision SDN BHD, is nominated in the telenovela category. Alongside Kahit Isang Saglit (internationally titled A Time For Us), another Filipino production is nominated in the Telenovela category – GMA Network’s Magdusa Ka.

But the biggest buzz in the local industry is the nomination of a local actress in the prestigious international awards derby. Angel Locsin is nominated for an Emmy award. Angel Locsin’s nomination in the International Emmy Awards is for her role in the television series Lobo (internationally titled The Wolf) in the Best Actress category. This (I think) is the first International Emmy nomination for a local actress, or actor.

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is a membership based organization comprised of leading media and entertainment figures from over 50 countries and 500 companies from all sectors of television including internet, mobile and technology. The Academy’s yearly schedule of events includes the prestigious International Emmy® Awards Ceremony held in New York, The International Digital Emmy® Awards at MIPTV and a series of industry events such as Academy Day, The International Emmy® World Television Festival and Panels on substantive industry topics.

The nominations were announced yesterday and the winners will be announced in a ceremony on November 23. Good luck to all the Filipino nominees.

I Have Fallen in Love lyrics: Ninoy’s poem, song to Cory Aquino

admin — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +0000

I Have Fallen in Love (with the Same Woman Three Times) was a poem Ninoy Aquino wrote for his wife Corazon “Cory” Aquino when the former was a political detainee. It speaks of Ninoy’s love and admiration for his wife and how he has continually fallen in love with her through their nineteen years (at the time) of marriage. Very few people knew about this poem. Only family members were privy to its contents even after Ninoy’s assassination in 1983.

But according to composer Jose Mari Chan, he was approached by good friend Cecille
Guidote Alvarez sometime in 1987 to put music to the poem. What he read was a beautiful and heartfelt tribute from a man to his wife that inspired him to compose its melody in a very short span of time.

I Have Fallen in Love with the Same Woman Three Times is included Jose Mari Chan’s album Constant Change and has recently been recorded by Christian Bautista to be included in a tribute album currently being compiled by Kris Aquino for her mother. Posted below are the lyrics to the song.

I have fallen in love
with the same woman three times;
In a day spanning 19 years
of tearful joys and joyful tears.
I loved her first when she was young,
enchanting and vibrant, eternally new.
She was brilliant, fragrant,
and cool as the morning dew.
I fell in love with her the second time;
when first she bore her child and mine
always by my side, the source of my strength,
helping to turn the tide.
But there were candles to burn
the world was my concern;
while our home was her domain.
and the people were mine
while the children were hers to maintain;
So it was in those eighteen years and a day.
’till I was detained; forced in prison to stay.
Suddenly she’s our sole support;
source of comfort,
our wellspring of Hope.
On her shoulders felt the burden of Life.
I fell in love again,
with the same woman the third time.
Looming from the battle,
her courage will never fade
Amidst the hardships she has remained,
undaunted and unafraid.
she is calm and composed,
she is God’s lovely maid.

The Pinoy Who Invented the Water-Powered Car

admin — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0000

An Filipino engineer named Daniel Dingle, who used to work for NASA, has developed a car that uses plain tap water and/or sea water for fuel. The technology utilizes a mini-reactor in the car that splits the water molecule into hydrogen & oxygen, with hydrogen being burned off as fuel. The emission released out of the exhaust is clean pure water vapor or water – absolutely no pollution! In fact, it cleans the air. He now has 6 cars running on water, the first of which was driven in 1969, over 30 years ago. He also has various other water-powered inventions – all are patent-pending.

This is great news especially to motorists of today who are burdened with the increasing cost of fuel. But the question is, if this water-powered car technology was available thirty years ago, why hasn’t it been manufactured and marketed?

Mr. Dingle says he has been turned down by every agency he sent his invention to, especially the local ones. The local government technology arm has even branded his water-powered car invention as a hoax many years ago. However, if you ask me, science has nothing to do with this constant rejection. It is politics and money, the same story for many other inventions in the past that have threatened to sever our dependence on oil.

Word has it that Mr. Daniel Dingle has finally found an international partner to develop his water-powered car. Let’s just hope they do it soon and they do it fast because the world’s back is breaking from the soaring price of oil.
