May he rest in peace. Here's an article about this young man. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Underdog Boxing: RIP Karlo Maquinto By CARLO L. PAMINTUAN February 3, 2012 4:54pm I last talked to him at the lobby of the Midas Hotel. Karlo Maquinto was seated on one of the lobby chairs waiting to be picked up by his manager. He was wearing his patented cap. He always wore it at an awkward angle. That's how I got to know him when I was a newbie boxing writer who crashed Baguio's Shape Up Gym to see Manny Pacquiao train. "Ang ganda nung laban mo kagabi Karlo pero sa susunod huwag ka na masyadong magpapatama ha?," I said. "Salamat po," he replied. Karlo was never a man of many words. He was on the undercard of Island Assault 3: Viloria versus Segura. His opponent, ArgieToquero started like a house on fire. Toquero attacked recklessly and effectively in the first two rounds. He even managed to wobble Karlo's legs for a moment in the second round. Karlo stuck to his gameplan and listened to his trainers. He boxed so well that most of the people at ringside believed he was still going to win even if he lost the first two rounds. Karlo got into his rhythm in the third round and he punished Toquero en route to a fifth round TKO. I was supposed to give him a copy of his recent fight but they needed to head back to Baguio to train again so I told his manager that I'll be giving them a copy when they get back to Manila. I never got the <b>...</b>

SPRATLYS: DID CHINA USE ZTE TO BUY GMA INFLUENCE - A 'TYPICALLY' CHINESE DEAL? wikileaks.org wikileaks.org WIKILEAKS: CHINA USED ZTE TO BUY GMA INFLUENCE; A 'TYPICALLY' CHINESE DEAL MANILA, AUGUST 27, 2011 (TRIBUNE) By Michaela P. del Callar - The United States did not see as a threat the flourishing ties between the Philippines and China during the past administration of former President Gloria Arroyo but said the anomalous National Broadband Network (NBN) deal awarded to Chinese supplier ZTE was "typical of the deals that China reportedly uses worldwide to make friends and buy influence," a 2008 US Embassy cable released yesterday by online whistleblower Wikileaks stated. Then US Ambassador to Manila Kristie Kenney, in her April 28, 2008 cable labeled as "sensitive," believes the US remains a reliable ally of the Philippines despite Manila's increasing engagement with Beijing as corruption and graft-tainted projects entered into by the two countries had cast a dark cloud over its intensifying relations. "Strengthened Philippine-People's Republic of China ties do not imply a weakening of our strong bonds with the Philippines," the cable said. "Recent scandals have reawakened long-held views among Filipinos that link ethnic Chinese to corrupt practices." The scuttled deal between Chinese firm Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment Co., Ltd., or ZTE and the Arroyo administration, is an allegedly overpriced deal that was supposed to establish a nationwide telecommunications network such as broadband Internet services, video conferencing, landline <b>...</b>

CJ camp wants 4 congressmen summoned By Angie M. Rosales 01/12/2012 Now comes the moment of truth for the congressmen. The camp of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona yesterday sought the issuance of subpoenas against Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, two congressmen who have claimed that the Articles of Impeachment had not been read by most of its signatories and another lower house member who was stripped of his committee assignment after he reportedly refused to sign the resolution seeking to oust the chief magistrate. They, along with House Secretary General Marilyn Barua-Yap and lead House prosecutor in the impeachment trial, Iloilo Rep. Niel Tupas Jr., are among those named in the request for the issuance of subpoenae ad testificandum filed by one of Corona's lawyers, Jose M. Roy III. Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, as presiding officer in the Corona impeachment trial, told reporters he will have to discuss this matter and decide whether the Senate, convening as an impeachment court, would not be committing any breach in the so-called inter-chamber courtesy if and when they call on these personalities from a co-equal body. "They (defense panel) are entitled to that. But I would like to get the position of the members of the Senate, probably on Monday," Enrile said. Congress is due to resume its regular sessions on Monday, Jan. 16 which will also coincide with the reconvening of the Senate as an impeachment court. As the presiding officer, Enrile said he will <b>...</b>

NEW TOURISM SLOGAN "IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES" RICHARD GORDON SUPPORTS NEW SLOGAN Making PHL tourism campaign "It's more fun in the Philippines" work #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines Do you like ""It's more fun in the Philippines" , the new Philippine campaign slogan? Ted Te in his Facebook Note says For some strange reason, when the new tourism tag line "It's more fun in the Philippines" was revealed, I identified with it. It wasn't the graphics, the colors or even the slightly awkward way the "sentence" was written. It took some moments of thinking before I realized why: it wasn't just a "sentence", it was the start or end of a sentence. It is an open-ended invitation to complete the sentence and to take part in a conversation on something that I, and Filipinos everywhere else, know--that it IS more fun in the Philippines. @atheista knows it too well. "The Pinoys who travel a lot and know how to have fun are the ones who will have sell the idea of #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines " Not many may like the slogan. Others think it is a copycat or have too much words. Marck Rimorin explains that there is more to a slogan: Do I like the DOT slogan? I wish there were fewer words. I find it hardworking, but I have yet to see the components of strategy and execution that would make it work. Do I support it? Let's wait and see until we can assess the totality of the work in a more complete way with deference and respect for the work done and still to be done. And after all that s said and done it is up to us to get it right and make it work, because we're all in this <b>...</b>
