5 facts if Antonio Trillanes IV is the president and not Rodrigo Duterte

<br />
It is a fact that the 15th president of the Republic of the Philippines is Rodrigo Duterte. He won via landslide victory by garnering at least 16 million votes all over the country during May 9, 2016 national elections. Coming close to him was former senator Mar Araneta Roxas. And now, president Duterte has just breached 100 days of his psycholigical reign as the president of his country. Rodrigo Duterte is poised to transform the Philippines into a better society for the next generations to come.<br />
<br />
If given the chance to change something from the past, what if Antonio Trillanes IV ran for the presidency and won? Instead of President Rodrigo Duterte, we will now see the face of Antonio Trillanes IV who is always calling for a press conference. We often watch him being interviewed by the press everyday together with his bunch of executive cabinet members and assistants. And Rodrigo Duterte maintains his privacy in Davao City because he declined to run for president.<br />

Celebrity Actress Kris Aquino asks to stop using Dutertard for Rodrigo Duterte's supporters

<br />
Bashers against Rodrigo Duterte created a word "Dutertard", which is referred to supporters who are personifying a person with an imbecile level of intelligence quotient. This is similar to those patients suffering from mental retardation because they were born with an undeveloped brain. As a person with abnormalities with their cognitive function, they cannot perform an effective logical expression due to the lack of cognitive and psychological functioning in their brain. As a result, they are always finding hard to learn new things because they are mentally incapacitated that are compared to the supporters of President Duterte.<br />
<br />
Actress and political icon Kris Aquino reiterated that using the word Dutertard should be stopped immediately. This is because Kris is empathetic towards Duterte's feelings when his supporters were named by those who are against him. He urges his critics to refrain from repeating that word because it is obviously inappropriate for anyone who is called to that term. Although that word is not registered int he dictionary, the intention of the person who use that word is to degrade the dignity of other individuals or groups such as the supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte.<br />

Kris Aquino is resenting all individuals or groups who are calling anyone who are regarded as tards. She is sensitive whenever there are name shaming because the empathy is connected to her special son and she is deeply hurt whenever she hears, read, or having a friend who experience that kind of situation. Her statements were expressed during a press conference of a certain brand in public.<br />
<br />
The celebrity actress, who is also the youngest of the four sisters of former president Benigno Aquino III empathizes to President Rodrigo Duterte. She witnessed through her own experience of having her brother being heavily criticized commented about him. This was especially after her brother's presidency where numerous below the belt accusations and harassment were lamented towards the predecessor of President Rodrigo Duterte.<br />
<br />
As a concerned citizen as well as a political figure, she stated that if her brother is respectful enough to give President Duterte a chance to succeed, why don't she do the same thing. Kris Aquino wants President Rodrigo Duterte to succeed in his platforms and plans for the Philippines. But she also indicated that not all people are not your allies, there is always someone who will side against you. But the most important is that you are going to support the leader who will take care for the country for six years, which is long enough to transform the economic situation of the country into a better society for the Filipinos as well as accommodate visiting guests in the country.<br />
<br />
President Rodrigo Duterte's supporters also created a term for the members of the yellow political party and its supporters. They termed them as the yellowtards, which is an opposite for the term against the supporters of Rodrigo Duterte. The label has been intended to break the image of the supporters of the yellow political party, which is the Liberal Party.<br />
<br />
Former President Benigno Aquino III is one of the leaders of the Liberal Party, which is by far, one of the largest political parties in the Philippines. One of their members challenged Duterte during the Philippine presidential elections. Mar Roxas was the second placer when the result of the May election was released, just a day after the election casted their ballots and submitted to the comelec to tally and reveal the results to the public.<br />
<br />
Duterte's Political Party is PDP-Laban, which is an acronym for The Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan. It is a ruling political party in the Republic of the Philippines. The party's arch-rival is the Liberal Party of the Philippines. Most public officials belongs to the PDP-Laban Party that you can find it in the House of Representatives as well as in the Senate.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Kris Aquino supported the Liberal party because of her relationship with her brother, Benigno Aquino who was the head of the political party. When Mar Roxas run for Philippine presidential candidacy, she made commercials in support for his campaign during the national elections last May.<br />
<br />
Most members of the entertainment industry of the Philippines showed their support for the Liberal Party candidates for the national elections. Several commercials were created and has been broadcast by television networks to further intensify their campaign during the elections.<br />

Miss Universe Organization and WME-IMG implements new rule for Miss Universe beauty pageant

<br />
The Miss Universe Organization in cooperation with WME-IMG will set to implement a new rule for candidates or franchise for sending their delegates for Miss Universe pageants. The Miss Universe Organization is glad to announce that the rule will integrate with the existing policies that the company has already been implementing to every contestant as well as the franchise around the world. The new rule will be strictly implemented by all participating franchise applicable with their respective candidates to represent their country in the annual beauty pageant.<br />
<br />
The rule is about the prohibition of alternative candidates to join Miss Universe, which will change the face of the Miss Universe Organization for the coming years while IMG is concerned. The WME-IMG together with the MUO will start to strictly implement "No Alternative Queens" for the next edition of the pageant. This means that the current national pageant is obliged to participate in Miss Universe beauty pageant and there should be no another national pageant for the current pageant titleholder to pass her crown to the new successor. If this happens, the newly crowned successor will represent their country in Miss Universe.<br />

</tbody></table>
Since 2015, WME-IMG took over as the new owner of Miss Universe beauty pageant. WME-IMG is owned by William Morris Endeavor Entertainment LLC. It is an American talent agency that represents artists, groups, and organizations to all mass media projects, events, and platforms. These are sports, media, events, cause, theater, television, music, publishing, and digital.<br />
<br />
WME-IMG and Miss Universe Organization believes that this law will help candidates from all over the world to compete fairly and squarely. Participating in the Miss Universe annual beauty pageant should come from a decent organization or background in order to prevent ethical or legal constraints in the future. Franchise holders should bear in mind that the one year allowed period from the last coronation to the next coronation of the international pageant should be the duration where the participating countries should crown their representatives.<br />
<br />
A participating country should only crown one representative prior to the coronation night of Miss Universe. If a country crowns two delegates, the older crowned delegate will automatically be disqualified while the newly crowned delegate is the only qualified contestant to participate in Miss Universe beauty pageant. If a candidate is already declared disqualified, they will have to wait for the next edition of Miss Universe for them to be eligible to join, provided that the franchise will not crown the next winner of the pageant.<br />
<br />
Please like us on Facebook page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pageantsandnews/" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">PAGEANTS AND NEWS</span></b></a><br />
<br />
The countries affected by the new ruling of Miss Universe Organization and WME-IMG are Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Serbia. These are the countries who are either currently or have already crowned their delegates to undergo intensive preparation for the pageant. This means that the current reigning beauty queens in these countries are now at risk for being disqualified in participating in Miss Universe pageant that is set to be held in January of next year.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Countries that are at risk for choosing their newly crowned queens</b></u></div>
<br />
<b>1. Venezuela:</b> This country crowns their delegates in 1 and a half year earlier before sending them to international pageants. On October 5, 2016, outgoing Miss Universe Venezuela 2016 crowned her successor, Keysi Sayago to compete for Miss Universe 2017, which is about 1 and a half year before the next edition of the international pageant that will be either set later next year or in 2018. If the rule will be implemented immediately, Keysi Sayago will compete and Mariam Habach is automatically disqualified.<br />
<br />
Mariam Habach has been training for at least a year, and there is still more months to wait to apply what she have learned during that preparation period. If the new rule is going to be implemented immediately, fans who is anticipating her participation will soon have their hopes away.<br />

On October 8, 2016, another Miss Universe Myanmar was crowned, having the outgoing Miss Myanmar Universe Htet Htet Htun to pass her crown to Zun Than Zin, miss Universe Myanmar 2017. Htet Htet Htun is also at risk for being disqualified if the WME-IMG and Miss Universe Organization will implement their rules immediately.<br />
<br />
Htet Htet Htun will be surely disappointed with the new ruling. This is because there is a new Miss Universe Myanmar, which is Zun Than Zin who might represent Myanmar in Miss Universe to be held in the Philippines this January of 2017.<br />

The crowning moment was made last October 9, which was the final's night of Miss Serbia. Sarah Mitic was crowned as Miss Universe Serbia who will be competing for Miss Universe 2016.<br />
<br />
This means that the outgoing Miss Universe Serbia 2017 Bojana Bojanic will lose her qualification status to represent her country for Miss Universe. The reason is about the crowning of Sarah Mitic, which is now the reigning Miss Universe Serbia.<br />

<li><b>Puerto Rico:</b> This country is also included to have a traditional way of crowning their delegates that are way earlier before the crowning of international pageants. The pageant organizers are also expected to move their national pageant next year. </li>
<li><b>Malaysia:</b> Miss Malaysia Universe pageant is also ongoing. This is not sure if they are going to move the national pageant and the national director of the pageant is set to decide how will they adjust with the decision made by WME-IMG and MUO. </li>

The Fast Food Chain is known for its serving of pizzas that can be either order or consumed on a dine-in or take-out basis. They also serve pasta in different versions that are served in red sauce, white sauce, or oil-based sauce to the consumers. Salads are also served for those who are practicing a vegetarian lifestyle.<br />
<br />
The customer's name is Alyssa Marie Zaragoza Leabres, who alerted the service crew of the fast food chain and alerted them about the battery, which was then spooned out by the customer from the cup of the soup. The alerted service crew member was also shocked to find out about the incident and immediately took the mushroom soup that contains the AA sized battery. The service crew then immediately replaced the mushroom soup with another mushroom soup to the consumer.<br />
<br />
After the mushroom has been already replaced, the customer was disappointed how the service crew was able to assist them with their concerns. The reason behind was the crew weren't able to call the attention of the manager when the incident happened. As well as the services brought about by the crew were very slow. Alyssa indicated that the time lapse for every service takes too much time before they attend to their needs or concerns. The narration of the Alyssa can be found on her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1297888173588586&set=a.568047123239365.1073741841.100001022480087&type=3&theater" target="_blank">Facebook profile</a>.<br />

Alyssa warns all consumers to be always careful when they intend to eat in a commercial fast food or restaurant. Either high-end or cheap restaurants consumers should always check the food being prepared and served to them before they consume is. She wants others to prevent similar incidents that might happen in the future, in which she experienced eating a fast food chain with highly trained service crew who failed to provide a quality service to her.<br />
<br />
Alyssa wants others aware of food safety because this is a crucial thing to consider whenever they are going to dine at a public area. Even if there are high-end restaurants who are serving foods that are made up of high quality, they are not always safe from committing grave errors. One example is about the experience of Alyssa who may have been at risk when she consumed the mushroom soup containing the AA size battery, which is a highly radioactive material.<br />

<br />
The area manager of the fast food chain was also informed about the incident and she was able to find Alyssa though facebook. Alyssa also posted on the comment section of her post about the battery incident, the manager made an apology to her, stating that the incident was embarrassing on the behalf of the fast food chain. As a manager, she was deeply sorry and regret the incident that might have caused an injury towards Alyssa.<br />
<br />
The manager ordered an investigation on the matter, citing that the persons responsible for the misconduct will be punished. Since the issue was brought out in public, there will be a heavier consequence on that particular service crew because it generated a public scandal to the issue.<br />
<br />
<b>Food Safety</b><br />
<br />
It is important to everyone that food preparation is crucial because it is the way a person handles their food without risking the health and the safety for those who will consume it. The incident might have been blamed for the poor management of the service crew with regards to their way of preparing the food. When the food was served, the battery might have fallen directly to a hot jar or container where the soup is contained. Upon scooping the mushroom soup, the crew might have reached the battery and then filled the cup with it.<br />
<br />
If the batter fell on the large metal pot where the soup is contained and then will just be scooped for consumers, the whole pot might have been contaminated. This means that Alyssa might not the only one who was exposed to the radiation but other consumers as well. As the saying goes, "A simple mistake can cause a massive damage to a certain person or institution".<br />
<br />
Food inspection is important because it aims to prevent any issues of contamination, infection, or injury. In the kitchen, the things that should be only present in that area are food, food utensils, and cooking equipments and nothing else.<br />

Police Chief Ronald Dela Rosa wears wig and compares to Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre

<br />
Have you seen a leader who tries to do gullible things in front of his constituents? Well, he is the least person whom you've thought who can do such things from his random ideas just to give a whole new humor, which could lighten up your day. This is the most unusual for the head of the Philippine National Police chief to be jolly as he wears a wig and then shows it on social media websites. The PNP chief attempted to lift up the humor of our netizens by trying to do something that is the opposite of what the public knows about him.<br />
<br />
Ronald Dela Rosa or "Bato" surprised the public when he wears a wig or a synthetic hair. Upon publishing his two photos on his official facebook page named as "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/OFFICIALPAGEofRonaldBatoDelaRosa/?fref=ts" target="_blank">The official Facebook page of PDG Ronald Bato Dela Rosa</a>", it suddenly became viral. As based on his two photos, he was wearing a white colored polo long-sleeve-shirt and poses in front of the camera while wearing the wig. The wig covered his entire scalp, making him looking a little bit different from his original appearance as what the public used to recognize him.<br />

</tbody></table>
PNP Chief Ronald Dela Rosa is currently appointed as the head of the Philippine Police force by President Rodrigo Duterte. He was inaugurated on July 1, 2016, after the President took over as the 15th President of the Republic of the Philippines. General Dela Rosa will be responsible for safeguarding the safety and with full integrity during his term as the PNP Chief of the Philippines.<br />
<br />
As based on his photos from his official Facebook page account, Ronald Dela Rosa is asking Senator Leila Delima to choose who among him and Aguirre is more handsome. PNP Chief General Ronald Dela Rosa is referring to the current Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II. The photo and the caption made a viral attention to social media websites. The pair of photos escalated positive remarks for those netizens who saw the pictures of bubbly PNP Chief Bato Dela Rosa. As of 5:00 in the afternoon of October 14, 2016, the post already gained more than 20K likes, 3,000 shares, and more than a thousand comments.<br />
<br />
Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre was initially commented by Senator Leila Delima regarding his hairstyle. DeLima was quick to comment that Vitaliano Aguirre is obviously wearing a wig due to his stressful work at the office. However, Vitaliano Aguirre responded to Delima, saying that he may have already losing his hair but he is not yet losing his mind. Both Delima and Aguirre's stormy relationship obviously caught the attention of PNP Chief Ronald Dela Rosa. This is the reason why he was inspired to wear a wig.<br />
<br />
There were mixed reactions commented by the netizens from the published photos of PNP Chief Bato Dela Rosa. On the positive side, Bato Dela Rosa appeared younger than his usual skin-head look. Some netizens wished that they should also see PNP Chief with a hair so that they could see the difference. Others say that he completely look different, but seeing him with a hair is a good thing because it can further boost his confidence by looking different.<br />
<br />
On the negative side, there were netizens who were not satisfied by PNP Chief's new appearance as they saw him wearing a wig from his social media account. They say that they prefer to see him his natural look because it makes him appear to look clean that is compatible with his profession as the general of the police force in the Philippines. And other netizens were not totally into PNP chief's new look because he looks older than his natural appearance.<br />
<br />
Both Delima and Aguirre are currently trading barbs against each other due to the issue of extrajudicial killings. Delima has been issuing an intense investigation against President Rodrigo Duterte over his campaign against shutting down illegal narcotics trafficking across the country. Delima is now experimenting to file a charge against the President that will test the validity of his immunity even if he is the current head of state. However, the president's allies were quick to block her agenda to prevent any destabilization against his government.<br />
<br />
Leila Delima is a Filipino politician in the Philippines. She was elected last May 9, 2016, during the national elections in her country by garnering 14 million votes. She was the outgoing Justice Secretary who was appointed by President Benigno Aquino in July of 2010. Delima was succeeded by Vitaliano Aguirre II who is currently appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte.<br />
<br />
Senator Leila De Lima is now in hot waters after the present government administration found anomalies with regards to the past management of Bureau of Corrections. This is in connection with the wide-range of scandals and illegal activities happening inside the National Bilibid Prison, which is the largest incarceration facility in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
Delima is also heavily  criticized by netizens in social media because of her persistent justification of human rights violations against the Duterte administration. She is an advocate for human rights, aiming to fight for those apprehended individuals who were mislabeled by the authorities. In addition, Delima aims to fight against unjustified executions of random suspected dealers and users of illegal narcotics that generated an international outcry.<br />
<br />
But going back to the question, who is more handsome among the two? Is it PNP Chief Ronaldo Dela Rosa? Or Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II?

Actress Angel Locsin Reacted to President Rodrigo Duterte's war on illegal narcotics campaign

<br />
Every day, we often observe celebrities who are commenting with the current Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's campaign on illegal narcotics drive. There are some actresses and actors who are commenting their support for President Duterte, believing that it is one of the rarest and a significant drive to promote peace in our society. However, there are celebrities who are lamenting against the president's drive against the persecution of suspected users and pushers of illegal narcotics in our country, which caused an uproar towards the netizens who supports the president.<br />
<br />
As for the latest, one of the most anticipated celebrities in the Philippines also broke her silence and then commented on Rodrigo Duterte's campaign to stop illegal narcotics in our society. This is in the person of Angel Locsin. She commented that she is in favor of our President Duterte's anti-illegal narcotics campaign because it is one of the strongest platforms of the Philippine leader in order to make the Philippines a better society. She believes that there is something significant that can happen, which is about the prosperity for the next days to come after the drive against prohibited substance trafficking.<br />

</tbody></table>
Angel Locsin believes that once you will offer your support for a certain individual, you will not be shrugged off from the criticisms that other people talks about. This is because you already vested your trust to that particular person whom you believe that change is coming under their leadership. No matter how others manipulate you to change your belief, your faith is still there and willing to support your leader.<br />
<br />
With regards to the mandatory narcotics testing as applied by the Duterte administration, Angel Locsin is also in favor of this practice because it will determine the fairness of finding the violators of the law. The Philippine National Police is now undergoing its phase II operations with the drive against illegal narcotics drive that is now aiming to find and apprehend the members of the entertainment industry. Angel says that the mandatory testing should not be only applied to the members of the entertainment industry but also for the entire public.<br />
<br />
Miss Locsin is not going to have second thoughts if she will be required to undergo mandatory testing. She indicated that "why not" because there's nothing wrong if you voluntarily subject yourself to it. However, she implies that the drug testing should be applied to the general public and not only for the majority of the entertainment industry. This is because it would be unfair if there is a selective justice that is only focused on talents in the entertainment world because there are always someone out there who are concealing their real activities just to take advantage against the law.<br />

<br />
With regards to the black propaganda towards Rodrigo Duterte, Angel stated that for as long as you support a person, you will not be distorted by other's who wants to manipulate your thoughts. Your trust is important to that person no matter what other people say negative things about it. This was about the previous campaign aired by a certain television network with regards to the issues concerning the platforms of President Rodrigo Duterte.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cookuODWZc4/WABHub7TS6I/AAAAAAAArtg/PSnJi5iZPQQjqP0kG6AABojxd7FYSRZzgCLcB/s1600/photo%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cookuODWZc4/WABHub7TS6I/AAAAAAAArtg/PSnJi5iZPQQjqP0kG6AABojxd7FYSRZzgCLcB/s400/photo%2B3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Angel Locsin made an advice that everyone should be treated fairly because we are born equal, and we should be treated the same sentiments no matter who you are. High-ranking public officials, elite societies, and other society members should be also mandated to do random drug testing. This is because it is not only the members of the entertainment industries who are involved using and pushing illegal narcotics.<br />
<br />
She is concerned that if there is indeed a selective justice, there will be new victims of unjustified illegal activities towards the members of the entertainment industry. This is because there are numerous reported criminal cases that were unsolved due to mistaken identity by the law enforcement agencies and personnel. For this regard, the campaign should be made in a justified and in an equal fashion to prevent issues of ethical misconduct.<br />
<br />
Earlier, there are numerous celebrities who made attention to social media after commenting against President Rodrigo Duterte. As expected, celebrities who made negative comments were being ridiculed by social media supporters of Duterte. Celebrities are bashed and made numerous memes by the supporters of President Duterte, which caused a concern towards the behavior of social media users online.<br />
<br />
However, there are also several celebrities who were caught and apprehended by the police due to their involvement of illegal narcotics. These were Mark Anthony Fernandez, Sabrina M, and Karen Bordador.<br />
<br />
Other celebrities were not lucky because some of them were shot such as the case of Maritoni's sister Aurora Moynihan. Forner teen actor John Wayne Sace was also injured when he sustained a gunshot wound to his waist area when his friend was gunned down by an unidentified riding-in-tandem riders.<br />

This was in 1946 when King Ananda Mahidol was fatally shot in his room. Since then, Bhumibol ruled Thailand for over 70 years until October 13, 2016, when he suffered from multiple health ailments.<br />
<br />
Since 2000, King Bhumibol was observed less visible to the public eye. He was often seen staying in the Grand Palace, Klai Kangwon Villa, and the Chitralada Palace across Thailand.

<br />
<b>1. Longest serving monarch: </b>King Bhumibol made history as the only longest serving monarch in Thailand's history. During his death, the length of his monarchial rule is also the longest than any other monarchs in the world. He incurred a total of 70 years and 126 days until his demise. Through his length of service as the head of state, he left numerous legacies by maintaining the prestige of his country's monarchical rule for Thailand.<br />
<br />
<b>2. He was the Head of the Armed Forces: </b>As the King of Thailand, he is granted by the constitutional monarch power to be the country's head of the armed forces. He is also regarded as the Ryal Thai Armed Force's commander-in-chief. He has the power to control directly to the armed forces, which is governed by the Ministry of Defense. The king is responsible for ensuring the national safety and interest of Thailand against external interests outside the country.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Richest monarch:</b> Bhumibol's fortune was estimated to be in $30 billion as of 2014, which is the largest amount of wealth a monarch possesses than any other monarch in the world. King Bhumibol's assets are managed by the Crown Property Bureau, which is a non-government institution responsible for mitigating the funds of the Royal family of Thailand. The wealth is separate from the total financial wealth of Thailand's government.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Restored democracy in Thailand:</b> As a king, Bhumibol experienced numerous generations of coup attempts in his country. This is a classic tradition for his countrymen to exercise their constitutional rights whenever their Prime Minister is not doing a satisfactory job. By consistently maintaining the country's democracy, Bhumibol gradually gained the sympathy, support, and interest of the Thai people, regarding him as one of the most respected head of state in history.<br />
<br />
<b>5. War on illegal narcotics: </b>Similar with other countries, King Bhumibol was concerned about the proliferation of illegal narcotics in his country. He believed that illegal narcotics trafficking is responsible for escalating criminal incidents all over Thailand. He created special courts in Thailand to settle specifically on narcotics-related criminal cases across Thailand. The Thai monarch created a law that would punish its officials if they will not meet the minimum quota for apprehending illegal narcotics traffickers since 2003.<br />

5 Mysterious facts about Typhoon Haiyan or Yolanda donations: Where did it really go?

<br />
On November 8, 2013, a very strong SuperTyphoon hit the Philippine islands, causing a widespread destruction across the path of the storm. Haiyan is regarded as the strongest super typhoon that made a landfall in a certain landmass than any other storms. The storm reached a maximum sustained storm wind of up to 315 kilometers per hour near the center. Super typhoon Haiyan is the worst tropical disturbance that hit the Philippines in history, making it one of the most destructive natural disasters not only in the country but in the entire world.<br />
<br />
The Philippines received an overwhelming support from international communities as the country was totally demolished by the onslaught of the super typhoon. There were at least 6,340 confirmed perished during the wrath of the typhoon's destruction while there are still more than a thousand individuals who are still missing up to this day. The total amount of damage brought about by the typhoon amounted to at least more than 2 billion in US dollars. However, the estimated damage is believed to be higher than the reported destruction.<br />

Haiyan initially developed as a mild tropical disturbance near the location of Pohnpei, which is an island region in the Federated States of Micronesia on the 2nd of November in 2013. The disturbance became a tropical storm on November 4 and then undergone a rapid cyclogenesis stage that reached its typhoon status. Haiyan became a super typhoon when it reached more than 250 kilometers per hour winds. The storm was locally named Yolanda when it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility.<br />
<br />
The storm passed through that central Philippines by passing through the island of Leyte, crossing in the Visayas region. The storm brushed the central Philippines by passing through the islands of Cebu, Panay, and Mindoro Islands. Super typhoon Haiyan caused an overwhelming path of destruction. Structures that were built to withstand a 200-kilometer wind gust were no match against the power that was harnessed by the super typhoon. The path of destruction left numerous infrastructures that were totally damaged and could never be repaired because the energy generated by the wind was too strong to handle.<br />
<br />
The most dangerous natural hazard that was also generated by the super typhoon was the storm surge. that reached a height of 10 meters, resembling that of a tsunami. The storm surge was responsible for claiming thousands of lives along its path. The devastating effects of Haiyan affected the economy of the Philippines especially to the agricultural sector, energy sector, and industrial sectors. The gross domestic products of the Philippines significantly declined. An overwhelming support of funds was being able to pour towards the Philippines. Countries and territories from around the world offered financial assistance and humanitarian efforts to the Philippines.<br />

<b><br /></b> <b>1.It is worth over 1 Billion US dollars: </b>The real total amount is really mysterious. If you are going to total the funds donated by various international organizations and agencies, it will amount to at least over a billion in US dollars. This is separate from the locally donated funds from national agencies, foundations, and private individuals who want to help their fellow Filipinos. The actual total amount of funds were not disclosed to the public for privacy reasons. This means that the total amount of funds donated by both local and international sponsors could exceed more than 1 billion in US dollars, which is already enough to help rebuild destroyed infrastructures and facilities at a short period of time.<br />

<b>2. Corruption allegations: </b>This is a given scenario where funds were collected by the wrong person or group that makes it mysterious. Corrupt individuals or group will then misuse the funds for their personal itineraries and failed to liquidate the funds after using it. The Philippines is still suffering from a widespread corruption. There is still a culture wherein officials take an advantage of funds that are undocumented, which are often being used for personal means. It has been a tradition for public officials, in which they take every opportunity to commit illegal activities whenever there are funds that are not properly regulated.<br />

<br />
<b>3. Massive infrastructure repair: </b>The government allocated a huge amount of funds to repair damaged infrastructures across the country that has been destroyed by the Typhoon, which is also mysterious because there are infrastructures that are still ongoing until today. These include rapid repairs for damaged roads, bridges, and buildings that are still useful to the public. It is an immediate response to get the country's economic sustainability restored in a shorter amount of time to prevent any delays with the exports or imports of the companies operating in the areas. Construction of new infrastructures was also initiated as a way to add more existing network of transportation facilities across the country.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Allegedly used for political campaigns:</b> In 2013, Local Philippine elections already took place last May where it elected local and national officials of the government with the exception of the President and Vice-president as based on the constitution. The funds that were donated were believed to be an extra help for government officials who were planning to seek for another term of office in 2016, that makes it again mysterious. During the 2016 elections, the issue about Yolanda funds that were generated, creating a concern with the allegations of corruption by greedy officials who should have used the funds for humanitarian efforts.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Missing funds: </b>After a couple of years since 2013, several complaints are now raising up against the management of Yolanda funds that still remains a mystery until today. The agencies responsible for collecting and safekeeping the funds were unable to present a liquidated report on how the funds were delegated to several humanitarian efforts. Some bits and pieces of the funds were already deposited to private bank accounts that the agencies are no longer being able to recover it. The reason behind is that the regulating agencies were unable to monitor the movement of funds, making it vulnerable to corrupt individuals or groups to take advantage of it and then deposit it in their personal savings account.<br />
<br />
The question is, where did the funds really went at this time?<br />

Ex-Teen Actor John Wayne Sace is recovering after being gunned down by riding in tandem

<br />
Actor John Wayne Sace is now recovering after sustaining a gunshot wound on his waist when he was shot by unidentified gunmen. He is now currently admitted at Rizal Medical Center and was now in stable condition according to his sister Queen Sace. John Wayne had undergone a surgical procedure for the removal of the bullet, caused by the incident brought about by the shooting of the assailant during that evening. John is expected to be discharged a few days from the day of admission in the hospital.<br />
<br />
Before the incident, John Wayne was with his friend, Erik Sabino who were waiting for somebody along Dr. Sixto Antonio Avenue in Pasig City, Metro Manila at approximately 11:10 in the evening on October 10, 2016. While waiting with another friend, riding in tandem riders passed by and then went directly straight to them. The riders brought up their guns and pointed directly towards John Wayne Sace and Erik Sabino and started firing the gun at them while being caught unguarded. After the assailants did their job, they quickly fled the scene, leaving the two wounded. John Wayne was lucky enough to sustain a bullet wound in his waist area.<br />

Erik Sabiano was not lucky because most of the bullets were pointed and fired directly at him during the incident. He was also brought to Rizal Medical Hospital along with John Wayne. However, Erik did not make it and was pronounced dead on arrival after the health care personnel weren't able to revive him.<br />
<br />
Both John Wayne and Erik Sabino is reportedly on the watch list of the Philippine National Police for possessing and dispatching illegal narcotics. With this reason, both John and Erik is part of the Philippine National Police's anti-narcotics operations towards celebrities and corporate workers who were believed to be using illegal substances such as prohibited narcotics. Although some suspected individuals are often arrested, John Wayne's case is one of the worst kind of apprehension that a person could experience if they are on the watch list by the authorities.<br />
<br />
Police Senior Superintendent Orlando Yebra, Jr from the Pasig City Police stated that John Wayne and Erik should have been waiting for a friend because they are going somewhere else. But their itinerary during that time failed to materialize due to the incident caused by the unidentified riding in tandem riders. Although John Wayne just sustained some injuries that are not serious to cost him his life, his friend was unlucky. Erik was the one who received more bullets, causing multiple gunshot wounds all over his body.<br />
<br />
The entertainment industry is obviously the next target for sweeping dealers and users of illegal substances all over the country. Police are targeting celebrities who were no longer active in the entertainment industry. Some former actors and actresses are now struggling to sustain their basic needs because they are no longer offered big breaks from the entertainment industry. This is the reason for them to resort to an alternative way to still generate income for themselves.<br />
<br />
One of the most available ways to have an alternative income is through possessing and dealing with illegal narcotics. Some celebrities are turning into dealers to generate an easy money scheme. Little they have known that they are risking their life and their safety for being involved in an illegal activity. Their fame can be translated into shame because they will be automatically exposed to various media, generating shame and disappointments for their former supporters and fans.<br />
<br />
John Wayne is a former teenage star in the local entertainment industry. He was once a part of ABS-CBN's pool of new talent group under the management of Star Magic. John became a part of Anime, which is a dance group where a fellow teen star, Rayver Cruz was also a part of it. However, John Wayne silently disappeared and was seldom seen in both variety shows and television series.<br />
<br />
John Wayne Sace made a comeback in 2015, but this time, he appeared on TV5 network. He admitted that he was using illegal substances, distorting his productive lifestyle. However, he was then tipped off by other dealers who were already caught by the police.<br />
<br />
Although he is now safe from harm, he is still on the watch list by the Philippine National Police. Even if he is traumatized by the incident, he should be always careful when going out in the night time due to unexpected circumstances that could risk his safety.<br />
<br />
Earlier, several celebrities were already apprehended by the police as part of Duterte administration's war on illegal narcotics. Mark Anthony Fernandez, Sabrina M, and Katrina Bordador were currently detained and now awaiting trial.<br />
