hotnot: the hayden kho scandal getting more and more controversial by the day. spreading horizontally as more and more personalities and cause-oriented groups get involved and vertically as it has grown from a single youtube upload to something that has merited a senate investigation. it is becoming the daily staple of people who loves gossips and controversies no matter what social strata they belong to. and that includes me as well as most of people i know (so you can’t say i’m being self-righteous here). once again, it proved that we, as a race, have the voracious appetite for something sensational rather what is sensible. as for the senate hearing, i just hope they will not waste their precious time delving into this brouhaha 
and end up with nothing just like the other countless investigations they have already conducted.

hothot: brillante ‘dante’ mendoza winning the best director award from the recently concluded cannes film festival via his film called kinatay. after almost 3 decades since brocka brought the philippine movies to the consciousness of the europeans, this win is a validation that we have a film industry which is just as competitive as the rest of the world. we may have been snubbed by the oscars for the longest time but this cannes win may be a bit of a slap on their haughty little asses. it’s a pity that dante’s win, a glorious moment for the local moviedom, is eclipsed by the not so palatable issue about hayden.

hotnot: the growing number of h1n1 cases in the philippines. in a country like ours where proper medication is beyond the reach of most people, a virus like this can mean more contamination and death than prevention and recovery. europe, united states and other wealthy nations can easily contain the spread of the disease by making the vaccines and other medications affordable to most of t
heir citizens. in our dear country, we know it’s an entirely different story. for the most part of it, we will have to fend for ourselves and make sure we minimize the risk of catching this virus.
