SEE-LIP: Maria Flordeluna

(logo image from http://mariaflordeluna.blogspot.com)

Directed by: Jerry Lopez Sineneng
Starring: Eliza Pineda, Nash Aguas, Albert Martinez, Eula Valdez

Before I could explain, I think my last post was just about it; plans don't come in a snap, in my case. :-)

A story of a young girl, Maria Flordeluna, that captivated the hearts of the Cebuanos in the '70s. She is a meek and kind-hearted girl who loses her mother at a young age. Her life changes drastically. Her father decides to marry his old girlfriend. The little girl and her brother find themselves trying to get along with their new family—stepmom, stepsister, and a stepgrandmother. Things take a turn for the worse when the little girl's new family starts maltreating her. Based on a radio drama, which made into a mini-TV drama on RPN-9, it is now re-serialised for TV on ABS-CBN, aired during their primetime block, Primetime Bida.

YES, things got worse...and WEIRD! Whenever the step-grandma (Brigida, Liza Lorena) or step-sis (Wilma, Kristel Fulgar) is face-to-face with Maria Flordeluna (Pineda) and Reneboy (Aguas), the "heat" intensifies. Whenever Flor gets a beating or any kind of maltreating of some sort, I, watching the show at home, got to say this statement (in my mind) whenever the credits roll...

"Sakit sa heart, uy!"

YUP, Flor and Reneboy didn't seems to "slay the dragon"... Poor little things...

And what are those merchandise that the show is selling to the public? Colouring books? Aparrel? Stationery? Eau de Cologne? C'mon! Be reasonable, people! Stay on the story, don't engage the kids on the so-called "child-oriented" plot of the show. (Talk about those MATURE RELATIONSHIPS and MILITARY CONTROVERSIES...)

In conclusion, I don't wanna have the show to be aired again... it's too heart-breaking.

LOOK AT THIS!: Venta5, A Great TV Shopping Hit

Image
Look, ABC5's got something new! It's the newest - the first and the only locally-produced interactive TV shopping show, Venta5 (pronounced /vehn-tah-sing-koh/ ) It features products that cannot be found anywhere else, at the fraction of the cost. One of the best sellers of Venta5 is the Iron Mate Economizer , a Filipino invention. This cuts electric consumption produced by flat irons by over 50%. Isn't that amazing? Just put your flat iron on it and it automatically shuts off the power supply, but it preserves the heat of the iron. Another one is the Mini Spin Twin Tub Washing Machine. It is a twin tub washing machine, but it is half the size (and the price!) of regular washing machines. Great for condominiums, apartments and dormitories. Next is another Pinoy invention, the QB Stove . A very elegant but economical stove that uses charcoal as its fuel. Isn't that good? Want more of the specs of the products shown? Wanna see more amazing products? Watch Venta5, Monday-Sa

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Image
Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with

Freedom From Lies With Hatred: Contamination From Deceitful Content Against The Church And How I Dealt It With The Truth

Image
As an advocate of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), I am very much knowledgeable of the effects of having to deal with fake news, disinformation, and other forms of manipulation of media and information in our society. I am thankful that I have been connected with an organization that advocates MIL and helps educators deliver the best practices for dealing with the media and information ecosystem in the country. Maria Ressa (Source: PBS.org) In the many years of being a Christian, I was tricked on social media to believe lies about the church, and there I would like to share what just came into my mind about lies laced with anger and hatred. I remembered the documentary "A Thousand Cuts" in 2020 featuring Rappler CEO and Nobel Prize laureate Maria Ressa about what she had discovered about the problems with the information ecosystem in the Philippines and why it has become a primary target of disinformation syndicates. Ms. Ressa said in the documentary, to wit: " Face
