Hotnot: Dubai’s delusion. Despite the fact that they are still in the hole for not paying their billions of debt, heto ang Dubai at nagmamaganda na naman. Today, they’re having their Dubai World Cup, a horseracing event with a whopping 10 million US$ prize. What’s more unpalatable is the fact that this event will be held in the newly-built race course constructed to the tune of 1billion US$! Such ostentatious display despite the fact that they are cash-strapped an
d way under the red leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Nakakatawang isipin that despite a magnitude 7 wake-up call just a couple of months ago when Abu Dhabi had to rescue them from an embarrassing situation, they still haven’t woken up from their delusions of grandeur.

Hothot: The 2010 Torino Championships. While watching the Figure Skating Championships, nagulat ako nong napansin ko yong Philippine flag na naka-sabit sa loob ng skating rink. So I looked at the events site at yon nga, may dalawa palang Pinay na nakapasok sa competition this year. Lauren Ko and Mericien Venzon, though both based in US, are carrying the Philippine flag. They skated their short program yesterday and will be doing their Free skate today. Kahit pa sabihing nasa bottom pa sila ng standing, to be included in such a prestigious group is already an honor for our country. Considering na wala namang snow sa Pinas para mag-skate sila ng ganon kagaling. Hope they do good in this competition, kahit personal best lang or Seasons best ang ma-beat nila ok na.
Hotnot: The Pope and his priests. Under fire ngayon ang Catholic Church because of the very hot issue about priests who committed crimes of sexual abuse particularly against young boys. The Pope issued an apology statement last week but that didn’t stop the ripple. In fact, lalong lumala ang sitwasyon dahil lumalabas ngayon na even the closest aide to the Pope knows what’s going on but didn’t do anything to punish the erring priests. With that in mind, kinu-kwestyon na rin kung talaga bang walang alam ang Pope? Kung may alam, bakit walang ginawa? The top aide already resigned pero hindi pa rin napa-pacify ang mga tao. Protests are going on particularly in Ireland where there are more cases of abuse. They are saying the Pope isn’t doing enough. I agree. A letter of apology cannot hide the fact that there have been perpetual consecration of the Church over the years. And “sorry” just doesn’t cut it. Heads must roll if the Church is to cleanse itself of the devils hiding under the sanctity of the robe.
Hothot: Anne’s nipslip. Pinag-pistahan ang paglitaw ng isang dibdib ni Anne Curtis sa kanilang Boracay presentation. Aksidente daw, na-edit man sa Tv pero sa dami ng nakatutok na celphone at camera, na-upload din sa internet. Nakiusap ang mga taga-Channel 2 na wag nang i-upload. Umiiyak daw madalas si Anne Curtis sa kahihiyan. Ang sa akin naman, if you’re going on a national television (lalo na sa major networks na buong mundo na ang coverage), at ayaw mong masilipan, bakit hind mag-ingat? Ayaw mo palang makitaan ng private parts, bakit haharap ka sa tv ng walang pangloob? Lumabas ka sa stage ng nakapalda, mahaba nga, pero humangin. Eh di nakita ang tinatago mo? Saka ka ngangawa? I’ve got no pity for people like these. Carelessness is just one step short of stupidity.
