Star Cinema and RCP Productions proudly presents "Sa Ngalan ng Ama Ina at mga Anak". It is a film directed by Jon Villarin and starring Robin Padilla, Mariel Rodriguez Padilla, Kylie Padilla, Daniel Padilla, Matt Padilla, RJ Padilla, Bela Padilla....and probably a few more Padillas lurking around the movie if you look closely...Na! Just kidding!.
The story revolves around the family of Ongkoy (played by Robin Padilla) and the gang known as the Kuratong Baleleng.

Kuratong Baleleng in Mindanao is a kind of instrument called darling bells - See more at: http://philnews.ph/2012/11/01/robin-and-daniel-padillas-movie-kuratong-baleleng-postponed/#sthash.VLMug1bl.dpuf

The Kuratong Baleleng began as an anti-communist vigilante group but has become a diversified kidnapping, smuggling, and extortion syndicate with close links to officials in Northwestern Mindanao and elsewhere. The group was originally established by the Philippine military in 1986 to guard against the spread of communist guerrillas in Misamis Occidental, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur provinces.

The first leader, chosen directly by the military, was Ongkoy Parojinog, who allegedly used the group both for its expressed purpose as well as to conduct illegal activities. Parojinog was later killed by Philippine soldiers. When the group was officially disbanded in 1988, they continued to operate as an organized crime syndicate.

“Sa Ngalan ng Ama, Ina, at mga Anak,”hit cinemas on January 29.

Epson provided a big-picture view of the future at the last International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo by demonstrating how robots will automate the manufacturing floor over the next three to five years. Among the most attention-grabbing demonstrations was that featuring autonomous dual-arm robots that Epson aims to have in commercial production by the end of March 2016.

What makes Epson's autonomous dual-arm robots stand out is their human-like ability to see, sense, think, and react. They are able to recognize objects, modulate the amount of force applied to objects to avoid harming them, and make decisions in the course of executing their assigned tasks. These robots are expected to be able to automate manufacturing tasks that until now have had to rely on manual labor due to task difficulty or cost constraints.

As seen below, a pair of cameras mounted in the "head" of the robot function as eyes that enable the robot to "see" and recognize object of various shapes and orientations. Both arms are also equipped with cameras. These cameras allow the robot to see the shape of objects in even greater detail and to pinpoint their exact location.

"Revilla's speech is more drama and an attempt to pull on the heartstrings of the masses to side with him, than firm evidence to confirm his claim of innocence. I want to see more facts from him. And less emotional manipulation. That is not what I saw while watching him. Disapointng." - Tinni Espiritu

It seems Kap's Amazing Stories has still to share the most amazing story there is. Too bad Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. shared it via privilege speech at the Senate and thus confirmed only one thing:. He couldn't really defend that he is not a "Mandarambong" and so he did the only thing possible to try to save his neck - put the blame to the Malacanang Administration and try to convince everyone that the President and his men are doing something equally evil.

So that is why Malacanang declared January 20 as National Prayer Day. They probably knew what Bong was going to do. Too bad the prayers didn't worked on the thick-skinned "MadramaBong". It got rolled over by Bong's Tonka truck that he brought with him to the Senate as one of his dramatic props, along with his father, former actor and Senator Ramon Bong Revilla Sr., in a "wheelchair".
