Try to wait for the coming out of the Ginebra San Miguel2010 Calendar. You can see for yourself the alluring Krista Ranillo in her sexy outfit . You can weigh it for yourself if the rumor between her and the People's Champ Manny Pacquiao is true. Prior to that is the showing of their movie WAPAKMAN starring Manny Pacquiao and Ruffa Mae Quinto,Bianca King and the seductive "kontra-bida" Krista Ranillo. Pacman is a super-hero who will hunt the "kontra-bida" and put an end to her life. The film has been produced by the Great boxer to tickle the ever-die-hard moviegoers this December especially the kids. Hoping this would be rated for General Patronage by the MTRCB (Movie and Television Review and Classification Board) to give room for the children to enjoy this Holiday season.

The family is nowhere to be found. They can't go home because they have death treat. Krista Ranillo is not hiding but she's out of circulation. Team Pacquiao, what's your comment? How about the Team Jinkee? Where is the treat coming from?

Gina alajar added her own point of view. She shared her plight on her facebook. She is now subject to scrutiny and accusation. Poor Gina, she only told her tales and now she's wrong. But Gina is a fighter. She will say anything she believe is worth saying. She will stand for what she said, nobody can question her. she just wonder who opened her facebook for public consumption.

Poor Jinkee, she is the aggrieved party and now she's about to be nailed to the cross.

The rumor is about to fade away. Only pictures are left. The latest one shows Manny Pacquiao with Matt Ranillo III and daughter Krista eating at the Manor Hotel,Baguio. People said Matt is seeking financial assistance from the People's Champ to finance his candidacy for the coming 2010 elections. Manny is known for the generosity, isn't it?

The Filipino people in the entire world are very proud of Efren Peñaflorida of Cavite for winning the CNN Hero of the Year. Peñaflorida received $100,000 to continue his work with Dynamic Teen Company, according to CNN. He earlier got $25,000 for being included in the top 10 CNN Heroes. What matters most is his good deed of pushing a Kariton (cart) filled with school materials and other educational paraphernalia's that will serve as a classroom to 300 out-of-school children. Together with his other co-members of the Dynamic Teen Company, they convert the said Kariton into a classroom thus, calling it Kariton Classroom and teach the children the basic education according to their age level. Such noble deed is extra-ordinary for such group of teeners to devote their precious times to the street children without any remuneration. In fact, at the start,they were mocked by people. But due to their will power and purity of intent, they persisted until they gained respect and support from the community. That support gained international recognition and now Efren is a hero in his own rights.He intends to use 90% of his price for acquiring a quarter for learning for the kids and the remaining 10% to be donated to the church in his locality. Seldom can you see such a person who always think of others welfare above himself. We salute you Efren for that. To the Dynamic Teen Company, our kudos to all of you. They founded that company last 1997.

The Malacañang Palace awaits Efren Peñaflorida for an Order of Lakandula Award. Our sincerest Congratulations to a Great Filipino.

Despite all the controversies here and abroad about Manny Pacquiao and Krista Ranillo, the duo remained silent. Sometimes, Manny keeps on answering the "No Comment" lines but not a word has been heard from Krista. That is why Manny is appealing to the media, to the press, to the entire nation to stop the gossip. Krista with her family is hurt by the bad publicity.

The Pacman never denied nor accepted the rumor. Even Jinkee is temporarily silent. Although she shared some truthful statements to a "kumare", that won't be divulged now. She only confirmed one thing, she met Krista in Los Angeles at at boutique called Chanel but they did not talk with each other. Her companions tried to make a scene but Jinkee stopped them. She kept the pain within her.So, Manny now is puzzled. Whose pain are you more concerned?

Love is still there. In fact, the People's champ Manny Pacquiao kissed his wife Jinkee three times (3x) in front of the media and press people. They were so sweet with each other as if nothing happened.

Pacquiao is appealing to all Filipino fans to pay attention to his achievements and accomplishments. According to him bringing home enough honors to our country is more noticeable than thinking about his personal mistakes. He condemns the crab mentality of the Filipino people.

One thing he doesn't know is the concern of the entire nation about his wife Jinkee. If there is a Team Pacquiao, there must be a Team Jinkee, why should Krista Ranillo become member of the Team Pacquiao? How does it qualify her?

For Team Jinkee, one should have a wife's intuition, deep concern for children and respect for a solid family, in order to be qualified.

No amount of material things or finances could ever hide a mistake. You might be considered a hero, so respect your wife and children. It is only from your words that gossips will end. And your deeds will put it to grave.

Incumbent Governor of Batangas, Vilma Santos and husband Ralph Recto are both disappointed with the gestures of Serge Osmeña who was demonstrative about his disliking for the couple. Vilma in an interview said that they have been invited by the Liberal Party to join forces with them for the complete change. They were not the ones who persuaded the party to accept them that's why the reaction of Osmeña to leave the Liberal Party is like a big slap on their faces.

We can conclude Vilma is right because if the intention of the couple is for the good of everybody, nobody should stop them. In politics, anybody is a friend although he might be an enemy before.

The same thing is so with Bongbong Marcos who is joining the Nacionalista Party (NP)under Manny Villar. Satur Ocampo has been lined up with them as one of the Senatoriables. The entrance of Marcos with the NP puzzled him. As we all remember, Ocampo is a critic to the Marcos administration before. Is working under one roof by people of different belief possible?

These are gemstones that each country is known for either as the origin or source. The gemstones were sent in various forms: faceted, cabochons, beads or rough. The designer traveled to Jaipur, India to have these gemstones individually trimmed and faceted to the required cut and sizes.

The People Champ and his delegation arrived at the airport yesterday at 9:00 P.M.. Surprisingly, his wife Jinkee Pacquiao arrived on a separate plane at 8:00 P.M. The press tried to ask Mommy Dionisia about the amazing, scenario but answered back she knows nothing.

All is set about the DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) office used to do for the last 3 years. DENR Secretary Lito Atienza is going to welcome him with a red carpet accommodation. A parade will follow with a shortened route. An awarding ceremony will follow at the Luneta Grandstand wherein Pacquiao will be awarded with an Order of Sikatuna Award by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. A thanksgiving mass was held in Quiapo Church.

Despite the good things that is happening to Manny, his wife, Jinkee's family is mad at him. They threat to boycott Manny's movie. Even his political ambition is at stake. They won't support his candidacy for Congressman in Sarangani. Maybe the reason is the alleged infidelity of Manny.

People should honor only his achievements. That is the ultimate wish of the Pound for Pound king now that in private life is invaded. He expressed how his private life is getting smaller since the issue between him and Krista Ranillo started. Jinkee did not show up at the afterfight party of Manny. It is obvious, Manny is already affected by the actuations of his wife. At first, she might have kept her sentiments within herself before the fight. But after it, she can not longer hold her emotions. According to a survey in Manila, 72.96% believed that there is truth to the rumor.

But the angle of publicity is also possible. Manny and Krista are both the stars of a forthcoming movie, WaPakman. Some sort of strategy, huh?

Willie Revillame fresh from the United States and host of Wowowie made it clear on his show today that he was not booed by the fans at MGM Grand during Manny's fight. He was personally invited by the People's Champ to witness the game. He was given a ringside ticket and asked by Manny to ride with him at the limousine. Upon arrival at the area, he was supposed to walk behind Manny but it was him who request that Willie stay beside him and Jinkee at the other side. So its not booeng but applauding.

It's quite revealing now that Willie is trying to get the nod of Manny to join the ticket of Manny Villar. With the statements of Willie today a ninety-nine percent (99%) positive respond is expected. We all knew that ex-President Joseph "Erap" Estrada courted Manny Pacquiao to join his ticket all his way from General Santos City before. May the best man win.

The Pacquiao team and family heard a thanks giving mass in Las Vegas just after the victorious fight of Manny. It was during the Homily that Jinkee started to shed tears and even until the offering of the Peace. She resisted when Manny tried to reach her arms toward him for a hug. Instead, Jinkee leaned at the shoulders of her friend towards her right side. Manny is on the left side. It was Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao who embraced Manny. The scene is enough to prove that Jinkee and Manny are not in good terms. What in the world is happening? After all those achievements, despite the victory, the wealth, the fame, what makes Jinkee Pacquiao so sad and tearful.

The issue here is jealousy. The woman involved is Krista Ranillo, Pacman's latest leading lady in his movie WaPakman. There is a rumor that Manny was seen in Hongkong with Krista last October before his fight with Cotto. The movie press keeps on asking Manny the truth behind it but he just repeat the same phrase "No Comment" for an answer.

Manny is appealing to people to do away with his personal life. Krista Ranillo has not commented on this issue yet.

After the controversial abandonment of "Chiz" Escudero, Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) to Loren Legarda (NPC), the latter finally confirms running for Vice Presidential Post under the ticket of Manny Villar, Nacionalista Party (NP). Villar said he considers Loren Legarda a good running mate because they have a lot of things in common. They are both common individuals who came from nothing. They want to defend nature and our natural resources. Legarda wants to culture the greens while Villar loves to develop the greeneria into subdivision. There are more happenings beyond our expectations. Let us wait and see.

Fans from all over the world celebrated the victory of Manny Pacquiao. His mother who usually hide in her hotel room while Manny is playing came out overwhelming with joy. Jinkee, the usual teary wife who always stood behind her husband never dreamed Manny to go that far. She expressed how proud she was with her hubby. But living with a rich and famous husband is all not glory.

Manny Pacquiao who always have other dreams aside from boxing joined Showbiz a few years back. He was then romantically linked to her leading ladies. The biggest blow for Jinkee is the rumored love affair of Manny with sexy star Ara Mina. Her jealousy hightened when a news exploded that Manny gave Ara a mansion for a gift. That hardly hitted her and their marriage almost collapsed. Aside from the womanizing issue, the Pound-for-pound King maintain some vices like cockfighting. However, later he himself confessed, he sold all his cockfights. Manny has been also known being a lavish spender. He spent million of pesos of his birthdays alone.

As the team Pacquiao is expected to arrive in Manila, there are preparations for a grand welcome for the Mighty Boxer. Pacman will resume doing his latest movie with Krista Ranillo who also joined the team in Las Vegas.

Antoher endeavor of Pacquiao is politics .He previously vie for the Congressional run but lose it. This time, he really wants to prove something as he always used to do. Fate will just do its part.

His fame is global. This time, fifty five seconds after the onset of the 12th round, Manny Pacquiao proved himself vistorious and kneeled at his corner ring. Miguel Cotto sincerely embraced him. Manny admits its a tough job beating Cotto. He is hard and a smart fighter.

1. WBC Flyweight (1998)

Other boxers could harly surpass his achievements. At the age of 30, Pacman looked very sturdy and always prepared for another fight but his mother asked him one hard favor and that is to quit boxing.

The Greater Manila Area is zero crime rate yesterday, November 14,2009. We owe this to Manny. his team is bound to leave the United States on the 18th of November.
