West Philippine Sea: Giving China the warfare it deserves

West Philippine Sea: Giving China the warfare it deserves

Once again, China appears to be checking out how far it can go in asserting control over the West Philippine Sea–this time tightening its grip on Scarborough Shoal, which it seized in 2012, while seemingly expecting the Philippines to stay silent, as it did when Rodrigo Duterte was the one in Malacañang. China, imposing its baseless and illegal nine, now 10-dash line, has said that it has indisputable sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal, which is 900 kilometers from its southernmost province, the Hainan Island. The shoal, however, which the Philippines calls Bajo de Masinloc, is only 240 kilometers away from Zambales. […]... Keep on reading: West Philippine Sea: Giving China the warfare it deserves

Kiray Celis on viral prenup photo in Japan: 'Hindi po kailangang mag-worry'

Kiray Celis on viral prenup photo in Japan: 'Hindi po kailangang mag-worry'

“Mayroon po tayong permission sa authority po. No harm done.” Ito ang naging paglilinaw ni Kiray Celis sa viral prenup photo nila ng kanyang fiance na si Stephan Estopia sa Japan. Sabi pa niya, “Hindi po kailangang mag-worry. Sa mga Filipino, OFWs, lalo na sa Japan, pasensya na po kayo pero hindi n'yo na po kailangang magalit. Tama na po 'yan kasi wala pong naagrabyado o walang nagalit nung mismong nag-shoot kami.” Nakausap ng GMANetwork.com at iba pang entertainment media si Kiray sa launch ng mga bagong produkto ng Kiray brands, ang Hot Babe drinks at Skin Vibe beauty products. Ikinagulat daw ng actress-entrepreneur nang maging usap-usapan online ang larawan nila ni Stephan, kung saan nakasampa sa vending machine ang una. Kuwento ni Kiray, masaya ang kanilang ginawang photo shoot sa Japan . “Itong prenup na ito ay pinili namin because sobrang favorite namin ang Japan-the place, yung tao. Yung streets pa lang, picture kaagad, e. Alam mo yun, hindi pa nakakarating sa hotel, nagpa-picture na kaagad. Pagdating namin doon, full of love. “Pagkauwi, 'Ay, ang ganda ng mga pictures natin.' The next day, pagkagising ko, 'Ano 'to? Bakit ako viral? Anong nangyari?' So, nagulat ako. Yung vending machine [photo] pala!” Related gallery: Kiray Celis and her BF Stephan Estopia celebrate fourth anniversary Sa katunayan, ayon kay Kiray, ang naturang photo, na ngayon ang deleted na sa kanyang social media accounts, ay naging agaw-pansin sa mga tao. “Nakakatawa kasi noong shinoot namin yung sa vending machine, yun yung pinaka, promise, kinasayahan ng mga dayuhan. Kasi sa Shibuya maraming tao, so yung mga dayuhan doon, mga iba't ibang lahi, parang nag-i-stop sa shoot namin, 'Oh!' gumaganun-ganun sila. “'Tapos, parang yung mga Japanese, nagtatanong. Kasi yung host namin sa Japan, half-Japanese, half-Filipino. Naiintindihan niya ang mga sinasabi ng mga Japanese. Ang sinasabi raw ng mga Japanese, mukha daw akong model. Siguro kasi hindi niya nakita yung height ko kasi nakaupo ako sa vending machine. Mukha ba akong model? Ang saya lang.” “Kaya nagulat ako nung nag-trending. Anong nangyari? Sana hindi na aabot po na mag-e-explain ako kasi ang saya ng prenup namin-sobrang ganda ng photos namin, ang galing ng videos namin, ang ganda ng makeup ko dahil mukha akong nagpagawa ng ilong sa pictures ko.” Ayon kay Kiray, ang konsepto ng viral photo ang suhestiyon ng kanilang photographer. Base sa kaniyang posts, ang prenup photos nina Kiray at Stephan ay kuha ng Metro Photo. Paliwanag ng aktres, “Marami nang shoot na nangyaring ganun, parang hindi siya first time. Actually, bago po pinagawa sa amin, may nakita na akong may mga gumagawa ng ganun. Kasi siyempre, mayabang ako, gusto ko mag-prenup sa Japan, so tiningnan ko na yung mga pictures [para sa] inspo [inspiration] sa japan kaya nakikita ko yung talaga.” Bagamat wala raw dapat ikabahala sa larawan, inamin ni Kiray na may natutuhan din siya sa isyung ito. “I think maging sensitive enough. Parang kahit may permission, kahit puwede, intindihin mo rin kung ano yung mararamdaman nung mga makakasama mo o makakakita,” pagtatapos ni Kiray.
