Lindsay Lohan Locked up

The first time I saw Lindsay Lohan in her movie, "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen," I fell in love with her beauty and her role as a downtrodden character; such talent and beauty going to waste if she doesn't change.

In the said movie she looked so youthful, but only after a few years at a still young age of 24, she has aged a lot. That's the effect of drugs and alcohol.

It is painful for a parent seeing her own child incarcerated (for violating probation), but i believe this is a blessing in disguise. For 90 days, she will have all the time to reflect on her past life. Hopefully, she'd learn to abide by God's law, not only the human law.

Lindsay Lohan's attorney, Robert Shapiro, backed down as her lawyer.

Boat of GMA 7 crew in Limay, Bataan capsized

From an interview by Shirley Escalante with Emil Sumangil, reporter and head of the crew of GMA 7 over the radio

The crew of GMA 7 covering the MV George and LPG tanker which were on the shore and being pulled away from the shore for fear of an explosion if the bottom of the ships are punctured because of rocks on the shore, the motorized boat they were on board capsized. Emil said that the water was calm, but the undercurrent was strong. The last one who was rescued was the cameraman because he tried to pull up the heavy camera.

Some members of Emil’s team could not swim. Although they wore a life vest, it got unfastened because of the scramble and the fear for safety.

When Emil realized that he was in very deep water, he made the sign of the cross, and said: “Panginoon, kayo na po ang bahala”. (God, take care of us.)

They were near the shore so the coastguards responded immediately. Some suffered minor injuries.

A member of the crew who had a cellphone in a bubble bag was able to capture the scene.

According to the coastguard who was interviewed by Shirley, the reason the boat capsized, as witnessed by people on MV George, was the movement by a member of the crew from one side to another.

In the Philippines, our experience with the typhoon Ondoy, where lives were lost and thousands left homeless, the question in our mind is could this calamity happen again.

My son and his family were stranded in the second floor of their house for 1 ½ days, with only biscuits for food, no electricity, no communication. At least they had the roof over their head. Pitiful were the families on their rooftop with small children for over two days, no protection from the elements.

with this calamity in China of the breaking of the levees, what if the dams in the Philippines break? This would turn out much worse than the Ondoy calamity.
The assigned agencies are getting ready for preparedness for emergencies for the rainy season, but have they looked into the dams?
