Gem TV Asia Soars High This July with Top-Notch Entertainment

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Sony Pictures Television invited us to celebrate the best of Asian entertainment on Gem Night, held on July 5 Wednesday at 7pm at Dohtonbori, Cullinan Prime Building, 8 Missouri St, Greenhills, San Juan City.

GEM, the gem of Asian entertainment, marks a milestone in cable television programming as it celebrates its first year anniversary in the Philippines!

It will showcase the quirky world of Japanese variety shows, unique games, and more!

Dohtonbori serves the Okonomiyaki Experience where a server gets to cook our food infront of us. We may have smell like the dishes served, but the experience seeing our food up close and quickly getting edible is truly something rare.

To match with the theme of the show, the people behind the local Gem TV Asia held the Gem Night event at Dohtonbori which was attended by several members of the media, including bloggers.

Attendees were also asked to create our own paper-folding creations we all know as Origami. They were later used as our raffle entry to win some Gem TV Asia merchandise. However, I am not really that lucky with raffle draws so my work never got picked.

But since I was the early bird, I got to persuade the organizers to give me something as a reward for being so punctual..Lol!

Youth and Student Leaders File Ethics Complaint vs Aguirre as Fake News King

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Youth group Millennials Against Dictators [MAD] on Wednesday filed before the Ombudsman an ethics complaint against Secretary of Justice Vitaliano Aguirre for 'repeatedly making false accusations and allegations' and his 'refusal to take responsibility for his actions'.

The complaint also seeks Aguirre's removal from office.

Factory of fake news

"Aguirre is a factory of fake news", declared Shamah Bulangis, one of the complainants.

According to the complaint, Aguirre on June 7, 2017 made it appear in a press conference that Senators Bam Aquino, Antonio Trillanes as well as Magdalo Representative Gary Alejano and former Aquino administration political adviser Ronald Llamas were connected to the recent Marawi crisis.

He also alleged on February 23, that some embassy officials had been compromised by the Korean mafia and that the latter was involved in the killing of South Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo.

In both cases, Aguirre refused to take responsibility for his false statements despite being called out in public, according to Bulangis.



Lying through gritted teeth

"Aguirre lies through gritted. He knows that. We want to send a message that this government must stop lying", quipped Karla Yu of MAD.

The complaint was also filed by Andrei Buendia of the Ateneo Debate Society, Anna Mercaldi of the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines, Fatima Tolentino and Nikki Nicolas of the San Beda College of Law Student Government, Julie Corridor of UP Diliman University Student Council, sociology student Rae Emmanuel Echaveria and Jonna Roldan of the De La Salle University-Manila.
