It’s here! ‘Rakenrol,’ the much-anticipated new film by boyishly brilliant writer/director Quark Henares, began its theatrical run in local cinemas on Sept. 21.

The first one is squeaky-high, like that of a kid with a put-upon temper tantrum, on the verge of breaking into a belabored falsetto when the high notes arrive (nevertheless charming in the Sean Lennon sense of the word.) The other is breathy: eerie-sounding, pregnant with a strange reverb, mouthfuls of oxygen wrapping every syllable sung, like that of the ghost of Elliot Smith.

The moderate Trade Union Congress of the Philippine (TUCP), the country’s biggest labor confederation, said workers might be left with no option but to seek wage adjustments unless the government comes up with measures to lessen the impact of the EVAT on prices of petroleum products and electricity.

[Summary] => JUETENG FLOURISHING: Logic alone can lend credence to persistent reports that tong from jueteng, the illegal numbers game flourishing under the Arroyo administration, continues to be delivered to some top officials.

Ilocos Sur Gov. Chavit Singson testified under oath during the impeachment trial of then President Erap Estrada that he collected tong from jueteng operators and delivered the lion’s share to Malacanang.

Has anything changed with the change of administration?
