hotnothot 8

Hotnot: Only four universities in the Philippines were included in the Top 200 Asian Universities based on a survey by a certain QS Group. UP was in 63rd place, Dela Salle U in 76th, ADMU in 84th and UST in 144th rank. Reportedly, UP officials were questioning the credibility of the survey. They should coz 63rd place for the premiere university of the country is way too degrading. But even before this survey came out, we all know that the quality of education in the Philippines is one of the many things lagging behind. It’s the result of a government whose priorities are limited to self-interests rather than the people’s.

Hothot: Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao riding the waves of her new-found fame. Bukod sa yaman na tinatamasa nya ngayon dahil sa anak na si Manny, sumisikat din sya as one character na kinukuha raw na product endorser ng mga kilalang brand. We should be happy for this simple mom na dumanas ng hirap ng buhay and yet ngayon ay ini-enjoy ang mariwasang buhay. Bilang isang anak, I wish I could do the same to my mom. Yong ma-regaluhan ang nanay ko ng mamahaling jewelries at mabigyan ng isang magarang birthday. Pero bilang isang anak din, pray ko lang na wag namang malasing sa kanyang yaman at kasikatan si Mommy Dionisia. Kasi, there’s this one report na may lover daw siyang DI na hinihingan sya ng 3M pesos! Asus baka makapatay si Pacman pag ganon!

Hotnot: The uncontained H1N1 virus continually spreading over the globe. Malapit na raw sa Pinas dahil according to recent reports, meron nang kaso sa mga neighboring Asian countries natin. Thailand and Malaysia has reported cases of the flu. Malapit na. Wag na sanang tumawid sa atin.

Hothot: The two Davids of AI7 in Manila. Sayang talaga at hindi ako na-tyempong naka-bakasyon. Siguradong manonood ako nito kahit hate ko ang mga open-air concerts.

Hotnot: The global economic crisis inching its way to the Middle East. According to Dubai One’s report last night, may ilang stock markets na sa Gulf Area ang patuloy na nagpo-post ng losses in their trading activities. Una na ang Kuwait where the volume of transactions has gone down by as much as 50% of the usual trading. Sana naman hindi na ito lumala dahil pag ang Middle East ang tinamaan, siguradong marami na namang maaapektuhang OFWs kasama na tayo.
