Molave Ko 'To

A month ago, I was too worried. The third list of qualified applicants for the dormitories in UP Diliman has just been released and my name's not yet there.

Three months before that, I was eying to change dormitories. That time, I felt dissatisfied with the way things were at Molave. A lot of newcomers went in and they went in with a bang. Marami sa kanila, pa-star. I do not want to go to Yakal too because of that. Sabi kasi ng friends ko, sa Yakal, you have to stand out; you are trained na maging pa-star. I don't want my life to be meddled with and besides, a lot of Molavers (as we call ourselves) has gotten close to me, so even when I'm quite unsure, I still wrote Molave as my first choice.

I never held office for a dormitory council. I can but I choose not to.

Last year, I was a member of an autonomous group in Molave, its newsletter, Kanlaon. Just to be able to establish a student publication for the dormitory, I agreed to be the Associate Editor. I admit that besides my Kalay barkada, it was only in Kanlaon meetings where I find myself really happy. It was only where I am able to express what I have in mind and be proud of what I wrote. It is only where I can share laughters, and chitchats for so many hours. Even at the wee hours of the evening, when other dormers sleep-slash-are trying to sleep. There are these press days when we burn the midnight oil to ink our paper with our thoughts and crappiness.

I must admit, I was kind of disheartened when an issue came up last year about the staff, particularly me. That time, I was thinking, that was the sign I am waiting for. The next few weeks I told myself I'll just suck up a few more weeks and I won't see the faces of these whatever people. I had forgiven them, as well as the one who started the issue. But then again, I still stand by the staff's firm statement that there was nothing wrong with what was written about in one section of our publication. I kind of confirmed to myself how I will be at another dormitory next year - happy, and at peace.

But then, Lady Luck probably smirked at me three weeks ago. A day after the third batch was released, I got accepted wherelse, but in the Molave Residence Hall. What I thought was, I have lived in this dormitory for about six semesters already and there can't be anything I can't stand but the people in it. Fortunately for me, the people involved in last year's issue weren't accepted in Molave. Now, I can start anew.

Last week, Kanlaon had a meeting. We are supposed to be electing the new officers, but we end up appointing since we lack members. Around half of our staff were displaced to other dormitories. The deliberation came and I was appointed as the Editor-in-Chief for this year. Even if I told them that my academic and organizational load won't allow me, they insisted,until I cannot unaccept the position. I just think of positive thoughts.

What I was thinking is that I would be an instrument into making Kanlaon a better group and for us to be able to meet our mission and vision. I didn't waste time and in an hour, our staff appointees are complete. We then discussed our strategies for recruiting new members of the staff. I must say, I am proud to be a part of the pioneering batch of the publication. It sure is overwhelming to see its growth after a year. It is definitely orgasmic if it still stands fiver or ten more years after.

Not only that, I was also one of those who signed up for the new and improved Newbies Orientation Program Committee (NOPC). And this past week, I can see how the new residents respond in what we have been formulating since the start of the semester. It was truly overwhelming to see them enthusiastic and doing what the purpose of the activity such as sigsheet signing is. Of course, in meeting the newbies, I don't want to be just someone who just signed them and would not care after. I always make sure that I would make a mark, that I would at least be able to get basic information to them and in return, I can share them who I am and give them other interesting facts they might want to know. Two days ago, a flock of newbies barricaded me to have their sigsheets signed; and sure as hell, some of them will be able to read this. Some would now be saying their hellos to me when they see me anywhere in the campus. Some would eventually be lunch buddies and some might be under my rule in Kanlaon.

It was kind of funny how I was able to recover. It was kind of funny how my mind changed in just little time. That has got to have a reason.

Probably, I love Molave more than what I think I do. Probably, deep inside, I was really gearing myself up to be an instrument in making my stay and my co-dormers' stay in Molave worthwhile.

Probably, of the newbies whose sigsheets a night ago - some of them will feel the same way as I do.

Probably, they will be able to learn and realize how they love Molave - I hope its as much as I do.

It is now confirmed that I am living in the same dormitory - satisfied, happy and at peace.

The Tale of a New Website

I have always wanted for our highschool to have an official website. I have hosting and I can coordinate with the student council so that the website would be put up. I have high dreams for it to be a social network, a portal for all RSHS students, once-students, and alumni. There, we can reminisce how highschool life was. We can compare the past and the future. We can relive how the school has been a haven for excellence and self-development.

I can do just that. You can do that for me too. Here's what you can do. Just click the logo below which directs you to the contest sponsor Orphicpixel.com. As simple as that. The contest just needs to raise more backlinks from my site, and if I get the highest backlinks to his site, then I will be able to get a new domain name, which I can use for my alma mater.

I really hope that I will be able to purchase a site for my school. So much for highschool memories. :)

Megan Young

This issue of Mega Magazine has three of the finest girls on its cover - Carmina Villaroel, Miss Tweety de Leon and Megan Young.

The first two are well-established as imagery of beauty and fashion. Added to the list was Megan Young. I couldn't be any more proud with the accomplishments my former highschool mate and friend has already achieved.

Back then, this girl lacked self-esteem. She just tried out for Starstruck and boom, instant fame. I remember the time when she told me she got through. She was late at school that time. I was just passing the hallway. She had already told me and our batchmates that she's planning to audition for the show. A week after, she ran through and shouted at me, "Rommel, nakapasok ako sa Starstruck!" with those eyes glaring with happiness and passion. I know that she had just found her niche.

Megan unluckily got booted before the Finale just because of a cat. Oh well, though she had few projects while she was on GMA, when ABS-CBN got her, she was never vacant. After her short stint in Kokey, Pinoy Big Brother and All About Your Love, Megan got more fame when she acted as Marcella in Betty La Fea.

I never expected for her to improve so much - in acting, she was the recent star in Maala-ala Mo Kaya together with Joross Gamboa; in singing and dancing, too.

Megan also is very fashionable. She's really qualifies to model; I was actually convincing her before to join Binibining Pilipinas in the future since I know that she's got beauty and she's also witty.

What people do not know much about her is probably her passion for writing. She and I used to work for our highschool publication. She writes features while I do sports and copyreading. She has this really controversial article way back, which was really witty and funny, well in my point of view. She's a very funny person, especially when she buckles up with her Tagalog.

Now that she's famous, it was really nice that she was able to still keep in touch with her past friends. At our last high school reunion, she was there together with lots of food she sponsored for the batch.

Our frequent query to her is if John Lloyd kisses real good. That's referring to her Marcella stint in Betty La Fea.

I hope that Megan would be able to achieve more. She's Olongapo's pride and of course, our batch's pride. I know that she can make it really big. Time will come for her to shine and be an icon.

The King of Pop, the A(H1N1) Scare and Death

Three weeks ago, when the outbreak of A(H1N1) in UP Diliman has just ignited, I belong to the bandwagon of the paranoids - thinking I'll die in days because I had all the symptoms of the swine flu well except for diarrhea. I can't lift my body up from my bed. Everything's warm and moisty. A feeling you really wouldn't wanna be in.

I was too scared to die. Too scared that I even contacted my brother to fetch me and bring me to the infirmary. That thing ended to a fight; he left me after he had eaten his lunch. I continued to go to the hospital all by myself.

Fortunately, it's just the normal flu.

Just last Friday, Michael Jackson fans around the globe mourned as the news of his death was released in headlines in news programs and blogs around the world. A shocking death of probably the most powerful and influential artist in the recent past.

I grew up listening to my brother's casette tapes, him mimicking the King of Pop's moves. I always fancy seeing him making moonwalks and electrifying dances, he's practing to perform to highschool programs. Back then, at an early age of six or seven, I find Michael Jackson as an icon. He has probably made a significant impact in the music industry and has been an inspiration to a lot of artists we are seeing right now in the country and worldwide. I hope that the Michael Jackson autopsy would be released sooner. Wala lang, usisero lang.

Well, its not new to me or you that the AH1N1 influenza is currently pestering the world and just recently, a Filipina had died of it. Around five hundred has the disease already with almost a hundred schools suspending their classes. As of the moment, the DOH was not able to control the transmission of disease since the locations and connections of the different cases were far from each other. I hope there won't be any more deaths due to this epidemic.

Oh well, the school days are here and I am still on chillax mode. Organizational work, plus work eats my time a lot recently. I enjoy these things. I'm dying of boredom with tons of engineering readings and problems to be solved. I'm dying of pain and lack of appreciation from the ones who I care about. It feels cold to wait desperately for someone whom I want to call me to be by her side. Gah. This may be even more hellish than dying per se.

Now, I don't think I'm scared to die anymore. My back aches a lot lately. I wonder why I'm too tired this often. I wonder how much more pain will I get, physically, mentally, emotionally.

Engineering Opening Week

June 22 : BEST Seminar and the Department Orientation

I woke up really early. It was time to prepare for the department orientation. A night ago, I was busy texting my subordinates to join me in preparing the tarpaulins, posters and survival kits to be handed out in the afternoon in time for the Department Orientation.

As we were busy preparing for the event, Engineering freshies were already off to the Bulwagang Tandang Sora, College of Social Works and Community Development for their BEST Seminar - which is kind of a study habits and learning techniques seminar. Afterwhich, some of my orgmates fetch them and accompanied them to the Engineering Student Council's Grand Pakain.

Simultaneously, another group of orgmates are busy preparing for a talent show to be held tomorrow. Again, for the freshies.

It was pass 1 PM when we started putting up registration booths, fixing laptops for technicals and arranging chairs to fit in a medium-sized classroom. I and my committee mates were also busy tacking tarpaulins and publicity materials in the department. Our bibo block G-26 has already arrived. Reminds me of the freshie air I was able to inhale when I were a freshie. That's all different now.

Right after, we treated them at Lutong Bahay. Fruitshakes for free! The day ended with a pre-pageant for the Freshie Fashion Show. Unfortunately, our bets weren't able to snatch a spot in the Top 10.


June 23: Org Fuzion

Our organization was lucky enough to be at the top twelve in the proposals part. So we need to be able to come up with an entertaining show. However, we were not prepared. As in. Our dancers backed out the last minute. Only the singers were able to practice well.

But do or die. We'll try. And so the performance went on, I must say I'm still proud that my organization delivered quite well than expected. We thought it would be a snoozefest and it would be a really really lame show - but I still found myself screaming their names. I am so proud of them that they have been able to represent with so little time in their hands. With that, great job. Especially to the singing crew, whom I had goosebumps while they were on the stage. Violin plays and an icy voice singing The Corrs' At Your Side.

All other organizations did a splendid job.

June 24: Yikee. Engineering Carnivale

It was my day, I have to say. No further explanations. As long as you are happy with who you are with, you won't really mind if you're doing nothing or how far the place you are going to. Enough said.

Consequently, it is the Engineering Carnivale. I didn't go out at the carnival since my organization doesn't have a booth there and I'm still bitter with the fact that another organization got away with out Balloon Bursting Carnivale idea from last year.

What a fun morning! My classes are all sabaw. My W-F's are just morning classes.

June 25: Pix Static

Its quite a busy day and I would have wanted to rest for hours but after my jampacked classes in the afternoon. I was messaged that we will be having a meeting around 7:30 in the evening that day. I waited three hours for a meeting that I won't attend to. Simply because I am broke and they told me they'll gonna have the meeting at KFC. Rar. My temper got the best of me and I walked out to sleep. That's the good part of it.

Anyway, some orgmates of mine accompanied the freshies to different spots in the university and its neighborhood. It is for a phototour contest.

Somehow, this day ended kind of lonely for me. I don't think I stand a chance, again.

June 26: GA, Bonding and the Shockwave

Another boring day. My classes finished half an hour before noon. Then, we went to the canteen to grab a lunch then zoomed off upstairs for a quick General Assembly. All's well. I was surprised to know that I have pending Publicity stuffs to keep myself busy by this weekend.

For the Mechanical Engineering students out there from UP Diliman :-) We are opening our application for the first semester. Our app's orientation would be on July 10 and 17. Time is after class, 4 pm in the afternoon, at the Quiet Zone.

After hours of waiting, I decided to join my batchmates in the sports clinic session in Mapayapa, UP Village. Our tricycle driver was so stupid, he didn't know where Mapayapa was. We ended up walking our way to the venue. Then, I slept. They played. Whatta productive three hours.

When we went back to the dorm at around 7 pm. I ate my dinner, then had some fun with the dormitory people. Newbies are trying to make us sign their sigsheet. :) Anyway, I went to the nearest internet cafe' since I wasn't able to check my mail and my online accounts for the past four days. When the cafe' was about to close, I had nowhere to go and so I went to the Engineering Freshman concert. It was lots of fun, though the crowd grew thinner each second.

The concert ended past 1am and I accompanied some freshie to Philcoa together with some of my co-ExeCom members. I decided to just surf the net.

June 27: :-)

I went back to the dorm by 6 am, in time for breakfast. Right after, I couldn't resist the sleepy feeling I have been feeling for the past two hours.

I was awaken by a weird sound in the backyard, another gobble from a turkey. I then checked my phone to see it was already 4PM. I then took a bath and planned to eat. A friend texted and said he hasn't eaten yet so we met and ate Tapsilog at Rodic's. My initial plan was to eat spaghetti with a melon fruitshake in Lutong Bahay but they were not open that day. I always forget that Saturday is their rest day.

It was a fun afternoon for me. Right after, I submitted articles to my boss. And she gave me two more, which is worth a lot than the usual.

Next thing I know, its Sunday and I had to go to church. Eat, sleep, read notes then submit two more articles.

I had just submitted the revised version of my articles earlier. I have accepted more assignments for this week. I pray that I'd be able to finish all, if not 75% of my tasks for this week. I have three pending articles to be submitted tomorrow. I hope I can submit them on time.

Anyway, this week has been a blast. Not only had I accomplished a lot of things; not only because there's a lot of organization matters that we've successfully pulled through; mainly, because I have connected with people I feel would be there for all times, the best this week.

Welcome, A.Y. 09-10! :-)

AKA Mobile Search Engine Feature

I hear a lot from online friends about AKA. They say that AKA is not just your ordinary mobile search engine and that you can search and find everything and anything anytime via SMS or the internet. Individuals and marketeers can publicize new information about their businesses, their products and other since any update can be posted through your mobile phones.

To prove to myself if the service at AKA is nice, I registered as inghinyero. They sent me a password through text so that I can access my dashboard. I see that I can connect with Facebook and get extra credits for that. It also feature interesting applications that enables users to enjoy their service as pasttime. They have a feature called mini-blog wherein you can upload your thoughts in the internet through your phones. It definitely breaks bounds between the internet and the mobile world.

But what mainly entices me is its function as a search engine since it is AKA's main feature. It is the only feature that anyone can access, even those unregistered.

Basically, you can search either from the web or through SMS. You can do so in the internet by going to the AKA website, then under the Test Drive tab, you can put the keywords there and voila, you've got search results.




What I did was I searched through Quick Find as seen in the screenshot. I searched Ms. Janette Toral's name since I was curious about her Influential and Emerging Blogs of 2009 Writing Project.

You can also search via SMS by texting AKA(space)FIND(space)KEYWORD/s and sending it to 0922.999.7255 where all of the commands are sent. However, I think the more relevant the keywords are, the results of the search will be better.

For example, what I did was I sent this code to the number 09229997255:
AKA FIND JANETTE TORAL

After which I received search results for the keyword I was searching for:

AKA does not only function as an SMS search engine. It has innovated features so as to make messaging easier and secured.

One good thing too is the AKA mobile directory where I was able to create directory entries in AKA so that I can also be found by other people using AKA FIND. The instructions were simple and registration is fast and easy. But you can also register through text using the keywords AKA REG. These words ultimately becomes keywords that you can be traced to. This is a great way to populate your mini-site. You can populate the mini-site through text using keywords AKA SITE.

This AKA feature is very advantageous not only to the person searching but also the person who wants to be found. This is because it is very user-friendly. The owner of any directory entry can update everytime which makes the AKA directory fresh and informative.

The search engine feature will be very helpful especially if the network widens. I hope the handlers of this project make big efforts to make the network bigger for searching be easier and more accurate.

Ma'am Jo

Marahil sa marami sa atin, ang hayskul ang pinakamasayang panahon ng ating pag-aaral. Marami tayong nakikilala na tunay namang nagbibigay-inspirasyon at impluwensiya sa ating buhay.

Tinuring kong purgatoryo ang hayskul. Isang phase. Isang lugar kung saan lahat ng kaalaman at nalalaman ay akin munang kinikilatis at iniipon. Isa-isa, akin itong binubulay-bulay dahil alam kong pagkaraan ng apat na taon ay hindi na lang ako namumuhay para sa aking sarili lamang. Isa na akong ganap na indibidwal - na dapat ay may tamang pag-iisip para na din sa mundong aking ginagalawan.

Siya ang pinaka-kinaaayawang guro sa paaralan. Ako naman ang pinaka-kinaaayawang estudyante roon.

Istrikta siya. Mushy sabi ng iba. Sino nga naman ba ang taong hanggang sa ngayon ay saulo ang Florante at Laura? Matinding pilosopiya sa panitikan at pag-ibig ang kanyang parating bigkas. Hindi naniniwala ang lahat sa kanyang malawak na kaalaman sa ugnayang panitikan at pag-ibig. Sino nga naman ba ang taong maniniwala sa isang taong inialay ang buong buhay sa pagtuturo, hindi na nakapag-asawa sa pagmamahal sa panitikan at sa kanyang trabaho?

Ako.

Isa akong self-centered na estudyante. Hindi ako mahilig sa panitikan o kung anomang kakornihang nakapaloob dito. Mula pagkabata, umikot ang buhay ko sa matematika at agham. Hindi ako magaling magsulat. Hindi ako matalim magsalita. Sino nga naman ba ang maniniwala sa isang taong puro pag-aaral lang ang iniisip at walang konsepto ng kasiyahan? Ako ang batang pinagtatawanan, kinukutya at pinagkakaisahan. Wala akong lakas ng loob para lumaban. Sino nga naman ba ang titingala sa isang taong mahina, at walang maipagmamalaki?

Siya.

Kahit na ayaw ko, pinahawak niya ako ng pluma. Pinadatal niya sa aking mga kamay ang halaga ng pagsusulat. Hinawakan niya ang aking kamay ng lubos para yakapin ng aking mga daliri sa tuwina ang pluma. Sa isang ballpen ko natagpuan ang lakas at kapangyarihang di ko man dati tinataglay. Nakuha ko ang lahat ng hinanakit at damdamin na parating nagpapatamlay sa aking puso, na umalis sa aking sistema at idatal sa aking papel.

Isang koneksyong hindi ko nakita sa iba kong mga guro.

Walang may-alam na ako'y nagsusulat ng mga panahong iyon. Siya lang. Ikalawang taon sa hayskul at hindi pa kami pinahahalagahan o binibigyang-atensyon. Ito ay ang panahong si Rommel ay isa lamang Math Quizzer at History Quizzer. Ngunit sa mga oras ng aking pagmumuni-muni, minahal ko ang pagsusulat, na pinaigting ng aking butihing guro. Ang gurong nagbigay-lakas sa akin na marami akong maipagmamalaki - na hindi lang ako isang geek sa paaralan. Isa din akong estudyanteng may makabuluhang pananaw sa buhay.

Sinolusyonan niya ang aking problema. Binigyan niya ako ng kalayaan kahit sa pagsusulat ng mga artikulong siya lang ang alam kong nakakaunawa.

Sa bawat break, palagi akong pumupunta sa kanya, ipinapakita ang mga artikulong aking nagagawa sa mga oras na wala akong mapaglibangan. Isang saya sa kanya ang aking pagkukusa at ang puso sa bawat marka ng ink na inukit ng aking isipan sa papel. Hindi ko lubos maisip na si Ma'am ay may malambot din palang puso. Hindi ko din lubos maisip na mayroon siyang siyang makikita sa aking mga naisulat.

Siguro, naturuan namin ang isa't isa. Tinulungan ko si Ma'am na maging mas maayos ang pakikitungo sa mga estudyante. Naging ina siya naming lahat. Ngayon, hindi lamang ako ang nakakakita ng kanyang likas na kagalingan at kalooban. Walang estudyante ang di nakakakilala sa kanya.

Hindi nawala ang aking kinang sa mga agham at matematika. Ngunit, hindi nawala ang oras ko para sa pagsusulat. Sa aking palagay, ito ang tanging bagay na hindi ko dapat mapakawalan. Regalo sa akin ng hayskul - isang bagay na aking napag-aralan. Aplikasyon na din ng obserbasyon at aking mga nakikita sa bawat araw ng aking buhay.

Ngayon, lahat ng mga kaalamang aking nakuha mula sa aking pagkabata at hanggang sa pagbuo ko ng mga ideolohiya at konsepto sa buhay, aking isinusulat. Marami pang mararating aking mga kamay at ang hawak nitong pluma. Malawak pa rin ang lugar para sa ikauunlad ng aking pagsusulat.

Ngayon, malaya kong nahaharap ang mga tao. Walang takot at kayang lumaban. Nahugot ko ang tiwala sa aking sarili mula sa pagsusulat. Tinuruan niya akong bumalikwas sa dati kong mga pinaniniwalaan. Tinuruan niya akong manindigan batay sa aking obserbasyon at hurisdiksyon.

Salamat sa aking gurong tawagin na lang nating Ma'am Jo. Naging kasangkapan ka sa pagpapabuti ng buhay ng maraming tao katulad ko.

Classes

I am currently in UP Diliman. Stuck. Well, not really. I think I don't want to go home, just because of the fact that I won't get enough rest if ever I do go back to Olongapo. At least here, I can minimize expenses while I sleep all day.

I'm sick.

Oh well.

Officially.

MAY 22: Officially, Homeless Next Semester

Friday, two big clouds of doom came upon me. One is that I have this Stat 101 examination of which I was not abel to prepare for. *'coz I'm lazy* The second one is that the Office of Student Housing released the results for male applicants for dormitory admissions. And unfortunately, I wm not on the list. Screw that. Now, I have to house myself in a new place, whcih means new lifestyle too. And dang, I'm not the type of person who can adjust pretty well that sudden. Good luck for my first semester.

MAY 23: Officially, The Summer Classes Ended!

Later the night of May 22, me and my colleagues in PSME-UPSU had an emergency meeting which took all night. We stayed at an alumni's house 'till the time that its safe for us and our girl companions to go home.

Right after, I slept for a couple more hours, packed my belongings, leave them at my brother's house and then ride a taxi to Victory Liner Cubao station.

It was a grueling hour to wait for the bus and another four to be back home! I slept right after I slid my bag out of my shoulders. Welcome Olongapo!

MAY 24: Officially, I'm Home!

I woke up 10 AM. Basically, it was the time that it sunk in my mind that I'm finally home. Comfortable bed. Me and my family - lunch, together. Fun time with my three year old nephew. And as I step out of the door. There's the dog barking at me, an unfamiliar face. There's these familiar faces, old friends who had lots of stories to tell. There are these faces who seem to smile at me, faces I have forgotten through time. And faces who pretend to smile at me.

But then, this is Olongapo. And no one beats that fresh scent of home.

MAY 25: Officially, A Bum!

Bum mode! Haha. All I do is sleep, eat, watch TV, internet.
I do chores once in a while. I cook.

May 27: Officially,Registered

I really am very excited for the 2010 elections. Its my first time to vote and I registered here in the Olongapo City COMELEC, with the precinct number 831B, application number 21818 :) Fun, but I feel old and mature. Something that tells me to act my age now and be responsible for my actions.

May 28: Officially Bothered

Watched the senate hearing on the sex scandal thing and all I can say is that its even worse than Pinoy Big Brother. Its kinda funny to see these people looking so idiotic in front of an alleged sex maniac professional-looking man. Even his responses are gazillion times better than the senators' inputs. Gotta love it that Jamby's there, at least she made sense at certain times. I believe Hayden rose himself up from the ridicule he's getting.

May 29: Officially Passed ES 12

One of my goals this summer is to pass ES 12. And I did! I was also able to finish an elective, Stat 101 with flying colors! Cheers to a productive Summer! :)

I can now proudly say that I am still on time.

CRS is effin' irritating this past few days but I'm currently enlisting the following subjects: ES 15, ME 164, MetE143, ME 131, ME 153, ME 142, ME 165. Bloody as hell, I have to survive this semester five dot oh free.

That's six days already. It just came so fast.

I still don't know where to stay while I'm in UP. But I'll be going there this Monday already, in time for enrollment. Wish me luck! :) 'Cause in a week's time, I'm going to be officially a student again, and no more time for being a bum.

Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili and their Real Scandal

Lately, the Philippine showbiz has been facing yet again another controversy. One that is accounted to Filipino celebrity doctor Hayden Kho and his sex videos with Brazilian Model Mariana del Rio, Modess model turned starlet Maricar Ramos and the most famous one, FHM Sexiest Filipina of 2007 and 2008, Katrina Halili.

Later on, a lot of prominent people dipped themselves to the issue. There is, Sen. Bong Revilla who lambasted Kho in his privilege speech. Pretty ironic, huh? There is this Marielle Santos who gleefully admitted that she was the one on the sex video. Paranoia strikes with Rufa Mae Quinto and Vicky Belo who both admitted that they had sex videos with Hayden Kho.

But then again, Katrina Halili was deeply hurt with all that's happening right now and the people are too much biased on her side that she was the sole victim on this case.

I understand the fact that Katrina is a woman and rights of being a woman shall be respected. But then again, she let herself be used by Hayden so I really don't think its proper for her to say, "Nakita niyo naman po ang pambababoy sa akin ni Hayden sa video". Though I condemn the sin, which is videoing it and of course, Hayden's infidelity. It isn't right to turn all the blame to Hayden. Katrina had her share of the mistake too, and she's gaining sympathy simply because she's the more popular one and illogical thinking.

I sympathize Katrina. She's a star and she's getting quite big roles now than before. This is not really a perfect time for the videos to come out. But then, what makes me wonder is why is she doing this thing only now. At the middle of the Vicki Belo-Hayden Kho break-up controversy, it has already been said that there are videos to support Hayden's infidelity and one of them is Katrina's. But then, why did Katrina remained silent before? What makes it fishy is that all other girls who had their sex videos exposed didn't really mind it at all. Katrina, since she was the only one who has a career greatly affected, was the only one who stepped up.

Because of this, I'm giving Katrina and Hayden the benefit of the doubt. We really don't have a single feel of what they're feeling and we don't really know what happened.

As per Hayden, I really don't think he would want to spread those videos. I get it that they are for personal consumption. Also, as a celebrity , he has this little reputation to protect. He is known as Vicki Belo's boyfriend. It would be too risky for him and the Belo Medical Group if he would spread this thing just for the heck of it.

I believe that Hayden and Katrina are both victims in this matter.

Katrina, for having been the sexual fantasy of all the males out there downgraded to a "drugged promiscuous woman", which is definitely traumatic and degrading to her and to her family. Her mistake is that she let herself be used by Hayden who has a girlfriend that time. And then, they got videoed.

Hayden, for being a subject of criticism from different people who didn't even know what truly happened. If he's sick, then, it doesn't help what kind of criticisms he's getting right now. He's even kind of noble enough to strip off his license as a doctor because of the scenario.

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt.

I believe that the one to be blamed mostly here is/are the ones who was/were responsible for spreading the videos. That/Those persons shall rot in hell for he or she has ruined many lives. The real scandal here is the motive of spreading the video. Though in the first place, there won't be any scandal if Hayden didn't keep a collection of it. The question still remains: what's the motive in spreading it? To gain ego? To ruin lives? When we get the answer to this question, we'll definitely know what really happened.

What we can do is to avoid these videos already and don't make fun of it. And I call the bloggers out there, to stop spreading the videos and the links. You can make a lot more money with other things rather than spreading the video links and download links.

I hope that this issue bears good fruit, that is for the Philippines to have laws written against the spreading of these scandals, with fair provisions.

But then I hope our politicians would not take advantage of this issue just to make themselves look useful and pleasant in preparation for the elections next year.
