[dropcap letter="H"]ere are this week's TL:DRs, and just like the lyrics to that classic Gary Valenciano song, it’s all about stuff disappearing or appearing or even reappearing (Which is pretty catch-all, when you think about it.).
[buffer id="bar"]8. THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING PLANE[/buffer]
Malaysian Airlines flight 370 disappeared somewhere between Kuala Lumpur to Beijing this weekend. As of this writing, the Boeing 777-200 and all its 239 passengers have yet to be found.
[buffer id="bar"]7. PNOY IS NOT EXERTING PRESSURE ON HIS ALLIES REGARDING THE FOI BILL[/buffer]
The senate passed their version of the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill early this week but it looks like it will not be getting the same treatment as the reproductive health bill and and the sin tax bill in terms of the President using his influence.
[buffer id="bar"]6. STAR AWARDS SELFIE ATTEMPTS TO APPROXIMATE LAST WEEK’S OSCAR EPIC SELFIE BY ELLEN DEGENERES[/buffer]
Um. So, what do you guys think of this?
[buffer id="bar"]5. THERE’S THIS NEW JELENA VIDEO[/buffer]
Justin posted these videos on his Instagram account this week. Also, Justin apparently dedicated a song to her at a recent performance.
[buffer id="bar"]4. SUPREME COURT ISSUES TRO AGAINST CA RULING LIFTING ARREST WARRANT VS DELFIN LEE[/buffer]
Delfin Lee, the alleged mastermind of the Globe Asiatique “scam,” was arrested recently. While his lawyers disputed his arrest, the Supreme Court stepped in to prevent any shenanigans.
As predicted, Delfin Lee is getting very “sick” while in police custody. He probably caught the same bug that afflicted GMA, Corona, Enrile, and Napoles.
[buffer id="bar"]3. MAKATI AND PASIG ARE TAGGED AS THE SELFIE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD[/buffer]
Yep. According to this ranking from Time, 2915 Instagram users in Makati and Pasig took a total of 4155 selfies. This explain the (confusing) algorithm for extracting that data.
[buffer id="bar"]2. HOUSE BILLS PROMOTE MALUNGGAY AND BAN KOREANOVELAS[/buffer]
While the FOI is still trudging along ever so slowly, it’s good to know that malunggay and Koreanovelas, respectively, have been given ample prioritization by Congress.
[buffer id="bar"]1. THE HEALING PRIEST’S LAVISH LIFESTYLE[/buffer]
Fr. Fernardo Suarez is being accused of leading a lavish lifestyle brought about by his fame as the healing priest. While he is being denounced by fellow priests and clergy, the CBCP continues this drive against blatant displays of abuse of power, such as the BIR ads that have been targeting medical professionals. Because if there’s one thing the church would know about, it’s about paying taxes.
