Amalia Fuentes to appear in a Mandaue court
For tonight’s show on Straight from the Sky, we bring you the officers of the Chamber of Real Estate & Builders Association (CREBA) who will be holding their Annual Convention at the Waterfront Oct.25-27 with Vice-President Noli de Castro as the Guest Speaker in his capacity as head of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) on the 26th during lunch.

Pardon me my readers if this column reads like a Showbiz column, but last Saturday evening, I had a surprise telephone call from a very unexpected person, actress Amalia Fuentes!

I talked with Amalia for an hour as if we were good old long-lost friends. From our talk, I learned that she is flying to
I didn’t realize that Joey Stevens, who I gathered is already 75 years old, would go into the motions of having separation proceedings. Amalia is undoubtedly fuming mad at her husband and the woman, whom we still won’t reveal at this time. That means this trial will provide Cebuanos their own Showbiz entertainment in the years to come because the trial might produce many “juicy” details, indeed “Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned!”

The big news that hit the nation last Friday afternoon was the bomb blast that literally destroyed a major part of Glorietta 2, which by now police investigators believe was the handiwork of terrorists.

Talking about evil, this is exactly what many of us thought Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Arturo Radaza was up to when he sought to demolish the establishments of Mactan Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Inc. President Efrain Pelaez Jr. Fortunately last week, Regional Trial Court judge Torribio Quiwag of Lapu-Lapu City Branch 27 issued a 20-day Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to prevent him from doing his evil & destructive ways. But this mayor’s destructive mind wasn’t happy with that TRO and last Friday, he closed the
There was a prayer rally held at the Marina Mall that Friday night when the barricades were lifted, thanks to the support of Philippine Export Processing Zone (PEZA) chairwoman Lilia de Lima and I’m glad that Fr. Carmelo Diola spoke in that rally. A few years ago, when the opposition tried to impeach our dear friend, former chief justice Hilario Davide, Jr. it was Fr. Diola who called for support and held the biggest rally that
The rally last Friday may have been small, but this should send a message to Mayor Radaza and his destructive dogs that God is watching over them and he will hear the cries of his people over the injustice done in
