The Baguio police denies ever having sent the text message below which is supposedly meant to warn the public of kidnapping attempts in the city:
“4ward po e2 ng Baguio City Police Office: positive and2 baguio mga nagki2dnap kids. Take note of d ff plate #’s VMM 507, OPD 434, VXE 351. Pls send 2 all ur family and frends.”
There’s no proof that vehicles with said plate numbers exist according to a policeman. Head over to Sunstar for the details.
Found this via Kamulo’s blog. [Update: Link to post no longer works, but you can still visit Kamulo’s main page.] The question goes: “What role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilinas?”

Some people are upset that the winner of the Ms. Laga Gala in Kalinga is part-Kalinga and part-Australian. Mars has the details of the story in his blog as well as in the Ground Report.
Sounds like an awful case of reverse discrimination to me. If the rules state that anyone can join the beauty contest/fashion show, then anyone can join it whether or not s/he is a pureblood, or a half blood, or a mudblood. Surely we are better than Lucius Malfoy and his pureblood nonsense.
I first thought of just adding this to the quick links I posted earlier but then thought that maybe it needs a post of its own.
I think the Japanese tend to have a longer memory than Filipinos so it’s good that they continue to remind us of the lessons of the past. In the GMA News article which you will find below, two Japanese women went to Kiangan, Ifugao to apologize in behalf of some Japanese soldiers for the horrors of World War II.
I’m sure you’ll agree that apologies like these are welcome. Still, in addition to these individual apologies, the Japanese government should also apologize for forcing women to become sex slaves during the war. It’s refusal to apologize on this matter continues to be a thorn in Japan’s otherwise good relations with the Philippines as well as other parts of Asia.
Anyways, in case you missed our earlier posts on the heroism of our people during the second World War, here are the links: Those Gallant Igorots; A Video Documentary; Those Gallant Igorots: A Word From the Producers; and Major Dennis Molintas.
I’m just wondering if this blog looks weird for those of you who are using Internet Explorer as well as those using any other browser that is not Firefox.
Today, I added navigation links at the bottom as well as at the upper right corner of the blog but when I tried to see how it looks with Internet Explorer, I noticed that the contents of the middle sidebar (Regular Updates, Recent Comments, etc) are pushed down to the bottom so there’s a big amount of white space in the column.
I’m not sure whether this is a problem in the past which I haven’t noticed before or whether it happened because of the recent navigation plug-in I added. I hope that it’s only the Explorer in my computer that makes the blog look weird.
