REFUND =)
Dahil labis-labis maningil sa text, inutusan ang Smart, Globe, Sun ibalik ibinayad ng mga subscribers
Ni Paolo G. Montecillo

The best things in life are Libre

NUTUSAN ng National Telecommunications Commissino (NTC) ang mga nangungunang kumpanya ng telepono na ibalik sa milyun-milyong subscriber nito ang sobrang singil sa mga text message na ipinadadala sa pamamagitan nila.
gamit sa unlimited na promo. Umaabot sa 20 milyong text ang ipinadadala mula sa isang network papunta sa iba pa, batay sa rekord ng NTC noong 2010, ang pinakabagong hawak ng ahensya. Ito ay 1 porsyento lang ng 2 bilyong text na ipinadala sa loob ng isang araw sa Pilipinas, na matagal itinuring na texting capital ng mundo. Kung 20 milyon pa rin ang ipinadalang text sa pagitan ng mga network mula noong 2011 at 20 sentimos ang kailangang ibalik, lalabas na aabot sa P1.42 bilyon ang refund sa mga subscriber. Sa kabuoan ay may 100.65-milyong subscriber ang Globe, Smart at Sun sa katapusan ng Setyembre 2012. Hindi nagkomento ang Smart at Sun pero sinabing hahanap sila ng ligal na sagot sa utos ng NTC.

ALAM mong Kapaskuhan na dahil nagkakabit na ng mga parol sa Edsa ang mga tauhan ng MMDA.
MARIANNE BERMUDEZ

Agad-agad ang pagpapatupad sa utos ng NTC na naglabas ng tatlong kautusan kahapon. These orders are immediately executory upon receipt, but the telcos (telecommunications companies) have the right to appeal, sabi kahapon ni Dennis Babaran, legal director ng NTC. Sa tantya ng INQUIRER LIBREay aabot sa P1.42 bilyon ang kailangang ibalik ng Smart Communications, Sun Cellular at Globe Telecom sa mga subscriber nito. Ayon sa NTC, sobra ng 20 sentimos ang singil ng mga telco sa bawat text (P1 sa halip na 80 sentimos) na ipinadala sa pagitan ng mga magkakaibang telco. Ito ay mula pa noong Disyembre ng 2011. Hindi saklaw ng kautusan ang mga text na ipinadala sa loob ng network ng isang kumpanya at mga

Scam sa Metro basyo ng NBI

ISA NA namang investment scam ang nabulgar matapos makabiktima ng daan-daang empleado ng isang kilalang mall chain sa Metro Manila at makatangay ng may P30 milyon, ayon sa National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) kahapon.
Hawak na ng NBI ang isa sa mga suspek ng scam na si Imelda Labadia, kilala ring Imelda Lomido, residente ng Signal Village sa Taguig City. Dinakip si Labadia kasunod ng pagkabulgar sa scam ng Aman Futures na tumangay ng may P12 bilyon mula sa libu-libong investor sa Visayas at Mindanao. Ayon kay special agent Gary Ruiz, ang bahay ni Labadia ang nagsilbing opisina niya kung saan ginawa ang lahat ng palitan ng pera. Based on the sworn statements of the victims, in one

mall outlet alone, she victimized 300 employees and some of them even hold managerial and supervisory positions, ani Ruiz. Aniya, maaring tumanggap si Labadia ng may P30 milyon. Ayon sa isang biktima, naakit siyang magbigay ng P300,000 kay Labadia kapalit ng 15 porsyentong tubo kada linggo. Nagsimulang magreklamo ang mga biktima nang magsimulang mabitin ang pagbibigay ng tubo sa kanila noong isang buwan, sabi ng ahente ng NBI.

Magkaribal na Akbayan, Bayan Muna pasado sa Comelec

MATAPOS ang kanilang matagal na word war kung sino ang dapat madis-kwalipika sa 2013 elections, kapwa nakuha ng Akbayan at Bayan Muna ang pagpayag ng Comelec na sumali sa halalan sa susunod taon. Bomoto ang Comelec, 4-2, sa dalawang party list dahil sa kanilang kasaysayan at mga nagawa upang tulungan ang kanilang mga sektor. Sinabi ni Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. na hindi siya pumabor sa paglahok ng dalawa sapagkat ang mga ito ay multisectoral tulad ng Ako Bicol. Although they (four election commissioners) are saying that these groups have a track record, unlike Ako Bicol which was new in 2010... these are old political parties existing way back in 1998, wika niya.

NAKATULONG ang masinsing pagtatago ng rekord ng isang motel para makilala ang 15-anyos na babaeng suspek sa pagpatay sa isang 57-anyos na lalake na natagpuang tadtad ng saksak sa isang silid doon.
Natagpuan ang bangkay ni Roberto Apuyan, manager sa isang pabrika ng piesa ng sasakyan, na may 11 saksak sa isang silid ng Pitang Suites sa Pasig City noong Nob. 19. Natukoy sa Marikina City ang bahay ng 15-anyos na babaeng suspek, dahil iyon ang inilista niya sa registry book ng motel sa mga una nilang pagpunta roon ni Apuyan. Natuklasan din na kasama ng dalagita ang kasintahan nitong si Elton Juan, 21, at isa pang kasabwat na nakilala lang bilang Panget sa pagpatay at pagnanakaw sa biktima. Nasampahan na sila ng kaso pero nananatiling nakakalaya. KFMangunay

Big deals
By Pocholo Concepcion

OREIGN celebrities have endorsed local consumer products for the past 10 years, even earlier. But its become more noticeable lately, with clothing brands Bench and Penshoppe tapping popular international musicians, TV and film actors one after the other in high-profile media campaigns.
Laxa, Candy Pangilinan, Donita Rose, Quest, Paolo, Gab and Kiana Valenciano, Juan Miguel Salvador, Princess Punzalan, Hilda Koronel, Elma Muros, among others) We can either be upset that our local brands are not using local celebrities, or we can think positive and look at it as progress for the Philippines. I dont believe there is anything wrong because it only elevates our country to world-class status. If the casting agencies can create equity for local talents through legislation, that would be awe-

some. But its a thrill to see foreign artists endorsing local product brands.

its another to constantly improve homegrown talents and market them effectively. Our advantage is that we speak good English, which makes us globally competitive.

Stages Talents Group (Talents: Christian Bautista, Karylle, Sam Concepcion, JayR, Zia Quizon, Nanette Inventor, Miguel Faustmann, among others) Its an open market. Entrepreneurs have the right to hire anyone, whether local or international talents, to endorse their products. Bench, for instance, has hired our talents like Christian Bautista, Karylle and Sam Concepcion. But I also believe that managers should turn their sights overseas to market Filipino talents [for brand endorsement opportunities]. We have a great wealth of artists deserving international recognition. With regards to equity, its one thing to protect our own and

Directed by Dado Lomibao, Frasco Santos Mortiz, John-D J. Lazatin, Mae Czarina Cruz; stars Angelica Panganiban, Piolo Pascual, Bea Alonzo, Xyriel Manabat, Zaijian Jaranilla, John Lloyd Cruz, Zanjoe Marudo This multistory romantic-comedy is the 20th-anniversary presentation of Star Cinema. It presents various stories of love, recounts Pascual who plays a mentally challenged man caught in an unlikely triangle with child stars Manabat and Jaranilla. Alonzo and Marudo portray another odd couple: Shes in love with her best buddy who happens to be gay. I play someone whos obsessed, Alonzo relates. It was weird acting with (real-life boyfriend) Zanjoe.

The frontman of an American rock band which performed in Manila recently was said to have been paid $400,000 (about P17 million) for his image wearing one of the clothing brands splashed across giant billboards on Edsa. INQUIRER asked local talent managers what they thought of these deals, and whether foreign endorsers should be made to pay equity dues, similar to levies on visiting performers.

Marie Digby, Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski, Rachel Alejandro) I cant really object to the hiring of foreign celebrities because I have represented some of them to endorse Penshoppe and Bench. I believe in free enterprise and I promote a noboundaries world. If local brands believe that a foreign endorser can promote their products effectively, then I believe it is their right to hire them.

PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ UNDERCARD

Gesta, Fareas lalaban

Ni Roy Luarca

ASUSUBUKAN sina Mercito No Mercy Gesta at Michael Fareas laban sa malalakas na kalaban sa undercard ng ikaapat na sapakan nina Manny Pacquiao at Juan Manuel Marquez IV Disyembre 8 sa MGM Grand sa Las Vegas.
Vasquez (32-2, 13 KOs) samantalang haharapin ni Fareas si Yuriorkis Gamboa na dating hari ng WBA-IBF featherweight.

Puntirya ni Gesta (26-0-1, 14 knockouts) ang International Boxing Federation lightweight crown ni Mexican Miguel

Malaki ang tsansa ni Gesta na tubong Cebu ngunit nakatira na sa San Diego, California, na talunin si Marquez ngunit iba ang sitwasyon ni Fareas na may markang 34-3-4, 26 knockouts. Hindi pa nakatitikim ng talo si Gamboa na dating Olympic gold medalist. May 21-0, 16 knockouts kartada si Gamboa. Tulad ni Pacquiao ay southpaw sina Gesta at Fareas.

Nuggets pinutol win-streak ng Grizzlies

TINAPOS ng Denver Nuggets ang 8-game winning streak ng Memphis Grizzlies, 97-92, Lunes sa NBA. Pukpukan ang laban at angat ang Memphis, 92-88, sa kanilang palaruan. Ngunit hinila pababa ang Grizzlies ng mga pagkakamali sa huling bahagi ng sagupaan. We got what we deserved, sabi ni Marc Gasol ng Grizzlies. The last game we didnt play that well, but the other team wasnt as talented as (Denver). When you play with fire, sometimes you get burned. Kinuha ng Nuggets ang 7770 abante sa fourth quarter. Nagwagi sa rebounds ang Denver, 47-33. Sinalpak ni Danilo Gallinari ang tatlong free throws at isang putback ni Javale McGee ang nagbigay sa mga bisita ng 93-92 abante. May malutong tres rin si Gallinari na tumiyak na hindi na makahahabol ang Grizzlies. Nanguna si Gallinari na may 26 puntos at may 15 puntos si McGee para sa Nuggets na umakyat sa 5-6. This is the first game on the road where I think we executed at a high level, wika ni Denver coach George Karl. Weve got to get better at making shots and I think we will once we win games, and I think confidence comes by winning. Bumagsak sa 8-2 ang Memphis na natalo sa pagbubukas ng liga. May 22 puntos si Rudy Gay at 12 at 13 rebounds si Zach Randolph para sa Grizzlies na may dalawang sunod turnovers sa huling minuto ng laro. Reuters
