    PASKONG PEYUPSISANG higanteng parol ang tinayo sa likod ng Oblation sa University of the Philippines Diliman saQuezon City bilang hudyat ng pagbubukas sa panahon ng Kapaskuhan sa pamantasan kung saantradisyon din ang Lantern Parade tuwing Disyembre. MARIANNE BERMUDEZ

    HIDWAANG PALASYO-SC

    Obispo naismamagitanNi Jocelyn R. Uy

    SINABI ng mga obispong Katoliko kahapon na payagsilang mamagitan sa hidwaan sa pagitan ni Pangu-long Aquino at ng Korte Supremang pinamumu-

    nuan ni Chief Justice Renato Corona.The bishops are capable of do-ing that especially those bishops

    who have more ascendancy, aniSorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes saRadio Veritas ng Simbahan.

    Kabilang sa mga obispo angkareretirong si Manila ArchbishopGaudencio Cardinal Rosales, papa-sok na Manila Archbishop Luis An-tonio Tagle, Cebu Archbishop JosePalma, na pangulo rin ng CatholicBishops Conference of the Philip-pines (CBCP), at Cebu ArchbishopEmeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal,ayon kay Bastes.

    Tila sang-ayon si Bastes at ilangkasapi ng CBCP sa mungkahi niSenate President Juan Ponce En-rile noong Lunes makaraan anglantarang panunuya ni G. Aquinokay Corona sa First National Crim-inal Justice Summit na layonumanong isulong ang pagtutu-

    lungan at pag-uugnayan.Sinabi ni Enrile na best way

    upang matugunan ang sigalot angpakikipag-usap ng Simbaahng Kato-liko at ibang simbahan sa magkabi-lang panig sapagkat mga institu-syong neutral ang mga ito. Theyare peacemakers, ayon kay Enrile.

    I am OK for that specially thistime of Christmas... a time forpeace, reconciliation, understand-ing and respect, ani Bastes.

    Sa isang panayam ng mga re-porter kahapon, sinabi ni Arch-bishop Emeritus Oscar Cruz nabukas siya sa mungkahi ni Enrilengunit only upon invitation.

    The one who will decidewhether the church would medi-ate or not is not the Senate presi-dent but the parties themselvesconcerned, which is the Chief Jus-tice and the President, aniya.

    Former lovers but just good friendssion.

    Joe, you may won-der why I know such

    things. I had alsobeen there once andironically itwas Eric

    who brought me suchpain. Eric was my ex-boyfriend and weparted ways five yearsago when our rela-tionship did not work.

    But timehas alreadyhealed my

    wounds and

    Ive learnedto forgive andforget. Imable to re-main friends

    with him be-cause I dont want tolive my life full of ha-tred in my heart.

    Strange as it mayseem, all I know isthat I still care forthis person I onceloved. It breaks myheart every time hecries to me and tellsme that I am hisstrength. I sympathize

    with him Joe and Iwish I could do some-thing to ease even alittle of his pain.

    Joe, this friendshipis all thats left for us.In fact I know that itcan never be us. Myprayer is that we may

    both find the rightpersons to fill up theempty spaces in ourhearts that long forthe one true love. Imhopeful that someday

    we will find our ownhappiness.

    Please reach out tohim,Joe. I know that

    your words can touchhis heart and some-

    how lighten up theburden hes carryingright now. As for me

    Joe, should I hold onto this friendship? AmI involving myself toomuch with him?Thanks for readingthis letter. God bless.

    Sincerely yours,Risse

    DEAR Risse,I dont see any reasonwhy you have to giveup the friendship that

    you have managed tokeep alive in spite ofyou and Erics bitterpast.

    You are saying thatit is the only one left

    for both of you, sowhy would you chooseto let it go? There isno reason why youhave to be bothered bybeing too involvedwith his emotional

    struggles unless you

    are hoping again that something more than friendship could blos-som from this rain ofevents. There is noth-ing wrong in caring

    for a person you onceloved. It is only when

    you expect somethingin return that bitter-ness may creep its wayback into your lifeagain.

    Risse, be glad thatit is in you that Erichas found refuge. Letthis be the best timeto show him that you

    still care for him, thathis happiness is also

    your happiness. Re-member, if it is un-

    selfish love that youwill give, it is un-

    selfish love that youwill get. This might be

    the road to a friend-ship that will breathelife into a new andwonderful relation-

    ship. If it is not, then

    DEAR Joe,Eric and I have been friends since col-

    lege. We dont get to see each otherregularly because of work but he callsme from time to time just to talkabout life. Recently he came to mewith a wounded heart because hisgirlfriend of two years broke up withhim. I was quite shocked because Iknew that girl happened to be hisgreatest love.

    Lately, Eric hasbeen calling oftenmost especially when

    no one seems to bethere for him. He al-

    ways tells me that hefinds comfort with my

    words. As a friend,that is all I can givehim aside fromprayers. We usuallyspend hours on thephone talking aboutmatters of the heart,hurting and lettinggo.

    Joe, Ive known Er-ic to be very sweet,loving and sensitive.He takes his relation-ships seriously andshowers the object ofhis affection with ev-erything he couldpossibly give. He in-troduced his girl-friend to his family to

    show pureness of hisintentions. Everythingseemed just fine untilEric found out thatshe was still enter-taining a suitor. Inspite of that, Eric stillloved her.

    But then again,giving someone allyour love is never anassurance that theyare going to love you

    just as much in re-turn. Eric loved themost his girlfriend

    who betrayed him.She did all hurtful

    things so that Ericwould give up on therelationship and eveninvolved herself with

    a married man toworsen the situation.She said she wantedto have her freedomand she was gettingsuffocated by his love.These might not bethe real reasons, butputting myself in Er-ics situation was likedrowning in a sea ofbitterness and confu-

    Love

    NotesJoe D Mango

    www.lovenotes.com.ph

    be thankful just thesame because youhave been given the

    chance to show himthat you have lovedand have been hurt.

    But you have forgivenand loved again.

    Eric, sometimes welove so much that we

    fail to realize that weare already chokingour relationships. Wecannot own the peoplewe love. We just haveto love them and give

    them the freedom and space to make choices.All we have to do is letthem know that whenthey fall, well alwaysbe there to catch themand take care of them.Your girlfriend proba-bly had too much of

    your love and atten-tion. Shes young and-could still be unpre-

    pared for a long termcommitment.

    When we fail in ourrelationships, we askourselves what wentwrong. There are timeswhen nothing waswrong. Sometimes love

    just naturally fadesaway and this happensto people who are sim-

    ply not meant for eachother. I know it is diffi-cult to comprehendwhy relationships sud-

    denly take unexpectedturn but it alwayshappens. People wetreasure are takenaway from us for areason.

    Sometimes we haveto stop asking whyand just accept our

    fate. Then we shouldstop being bitter and just be thankful thatfor once, we loved and

    shared our life withthat person and madebeautiful memories to-

    gether. That accep-tance will give us thecourage to move onand make us realizethat when God takesaway something fromus, he doesnt mean tohurt us. He takes itaway because hewants us to have

    something better.

    Seeing lovable starson Eastwood Walk of Fame

    Most people say its longoverdue. But with or without astar, my moms legacy will keep

    shining brightly in my heart andin the hearts of all the people

    whose lives she has touched.

    Coney and AliI got to chat with two of the

    most lovable women in the biz,Coney Reyes and Ali Sotto, atthe Walk of Fame event. Connie

    was also given her own starwhile Ali was there to representher late son Mico, whose star islocated next to my moms.

    After the success of100 Daysto Heaven, whats Connies nextproject? Id like to take a breakmuna, she says. Mahirap su-mabak agad sa trabaho.

    Life is indeed too short to betoo busy with work.

    I asked Ali if she approves ofPhil Younghusband for AngelLocsin (who was also an in-ductee that night) since she re-mains to be so motherly to Geleven after her son Mico (Angelsformer BF) passed away.

    At first, when I asked herabout Phil, sabi niya its nothingserious, she said. But recently,she told me na mag-dinner ka-mi with Phil para makilala kodaw. So mukhang totohanan na.I am happy for them and Iknow Mico is, too.

    Indeed, there is love afterdeath.

    Alls wellPeace now reigns in Charice

    Pempengcos clan, just in time

    for the Yuletide sea-son. She is buyingherself a brand new

    car and is bent onlearning how todrive.

    All is well na be-tween me and myrelatives on mydads side, she re-

    veals. But Im quitesad that my dadhad to die pa bagokami nagkabati la-hat.

    Did her dads

    death make her aneven better singer,giving her a deeperreservoir of emo-tions to draw from?I imagine my dadlistening to everysong I sing, shesays. In every per-formance, I feel his presenceand that makes me sing fromthe heart all the more.

    Isnt she threatened by newsingers like Maria Aragon andThia Megia? I welcome thehealthy competition, she says.

    What about young boys com-peting for her attention? As ofnow, I wanna focus on my ca-reer. But if and when I decideto fall in love, I will make surethere will be a balance betweenlove and work.

    Charice adds that Stand UpFor Love is the song that bestdescribes the state of her liferight now. The small and

    adorable girl has big love for

    her family, fansand career.

    And we all love

    Rhian: Tantanan mo na ko

    Ayon kay Lorna Kapunan,abogada ni Rhian, hinihiling ngaktres sa hukuman na pigilan siMo na gamitin ang midya atmga social networking siteupang siraan siya.

    Nais rin ni Rhian mula kayMo to stop calling, texting ande-mailing sa kanya.

    Hes still trying to get intouch with her, sinabi ni Kapu-nan. Hopefully it will later be-come a permanent protectionorder.

    Ayon pa kay Kapunan, nila-bag ni Mo ang Republic Act No.9262 (Violence Against Women

    and Children Act) sa kanyangpagsasagawa ng psychologicaland emotional violence kayRhian.

    Sa isang video na kumalatnoong isang linggo, makikita siMo na iginiit na pinalaglag niRhian ang kanilang anak dahilsa pressure mula sa mganakatatandang mga kakilala sashowbiz at ng kanya mismongpamilya. Ngunit ilang besesnang itinanggi ni Mo na siya

    ang nag-upload ng video.Ayon kay Rhian, na-trauma

    siya at ang kanyang pamilya samga ginawa ni Mo. More than

    what people have seen, Ivebeen hurting over a longer peri-od of time, sinabi ni Rhian samidya. Ang sakit na dulot ng

    mga pangyayari ay unneces-sary and undeserved, aniya.

    Dagdag pa ng aktres na sapagsampa niya ng kaso, naisniyang [to] put an end to theissue now, so that I can moveon. Ayon pa kay Kapunan, si-nabi ni Rhian na nais dinniyang magawa rin ni Mo angganoon.

    Sa kanyang final statementna inilabas nitong Linggo,humingi ng paumanhin si Mokay Rhian: Im sorry ... thatour roller-coaster relationshipended the way it did But Ilove you. I always have.

    Nakapagtataka naman dawang paraan ng pagpapakita niMo ng pagmamahal niya, ayonkay Kapunan. Hes very incon-sistent. He professes love, buthas made Rhian free game on-line.

    Sa pahayag, humingi rin ngpaumanhin si Mo sa GMA Net-

    work, na nauna nang nagbantana sasampahan siya ng kasonglibelo. The decision to have anabortion was not something the

    network instructed us to do,aniya.

    Ngunit pinuna naman ni Moang ina at tita ni Rhian na sinaClara Ramos at Ida Ramos-Henares, pinuno ng GMA ArtistCenter, at pinagbintangang silaang nasa likod ng abortion.

    ban kay Mo upang ipakita nakailangan niyang managot sabatas. Paliwanag niya: If he is

    not afraid of media, he shouldbe scared of the legal repercus-sions. Some personalities createscandals because they want tobecome media sensations.

    Ngunit hindi dapat nila laba-gin ang karapatan ng ibang taosa pagnanais nilang sumikat,sinabi ni Kapunan. The prob-lem with social networking sites[is that] people can easily denyany wrongdoing. But anythingposted online can assume a life

    of its own.Umaasa si Kapunan namababaon na sa limot angiskandalo at next week, people

    will have another breakup tofeast on. May ulat ni GilCabacungan

    Ni Bayani San Diego Jr.

    HUMILING na sa hukuman ang aktres ng GMA7 na si Rhian Ramos ng temporary protectionorder laban sa dati niyang boyfriend, ang dat-

    ing TV5 host na si Mohan Mo Twister Gumatay, ni-tong Lunes sa Muntinlupa City.

    Pinuna ni Kapunan si Mo sapagdadamay pa nito sa ina niRhian gayong nakikibaka ito sacancer.

    Rhian said that this is be-tween the two of them. Moshouldnt involve other people

    in their quarrel, dinagdag niKapunan.

    Ang buong isyu, ayon pa saabogado, ay symptomatic of abigger problem.

    Sinabi ni Kapunan na maha-lagang magsampa ng kaso la-

Pinasalamatan ni Pacquiao ang sandatahanglakas sa pagbibigay sa kanya ng karangalan. Bago ang promosyon aySenior Master Sergeant si Pacquiao na siya ring Command SergeantMajor ng 15th Ready Reserve Division. NINO JESUS ORBETA

    Floyd Jr., Marquezweather Jr.

    Inaasahan ng mga ekspertona tatalunin ng Pacquiao-May-

    weather ang 2.4 milyon bentasa pay-per-view na inabot ng la-ban nina Oscar De La Hoya atMayweather Jr. noong 2008.

    Dahil sa laki ng gagastusinng laban ay maraming taga-pondo mula Asya at GitnangSilangan ang nagpahiwatig nanais nilang pumasok sa proyek-to.

    Nananatiling nasa listahan siMarquez na hindi pa rinmatanggap na natalo siya ngdalawang beses sa kanilang tat-long laban ni Pacquiao, saman-talang si Bradley ay maaaringmaka-singit sa eksena mataposmanalo sa kanyang huling la-ban.

    Ni Roy Luarca

    NANGUNGUNA si Floyd Mayweather Jr sa ka-rera bilang kasunod kalaban ni pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.

    Kabilang rin sa listahan ngmga pinagpipilian sina JuanManuel Marquez at World Box-ing Organization light-welter-

    Sinabi ni Pacquiao Martes nggabi sa mga isportsrayter na gi-nagawa na ang mga negosasyonsa kanyang susunod labanmatapos niyang lusutan si Mar-quez noong Nobyembre 12 saLas Vegas, Nevada.

    Inabot ng kontrobersya angpanalo sa pamamagitan ngunanimous decision ni Pacquiao

    sa kanilang triolohiya ni Mar-quez bagamat naniniwala angPinoy ring icon na siya ang tu-nay nagwagi sa bakbakan.

    Kung matutuloy ang Pac-quiao-Mayweather ay inaasa-hang kikita ng hindi kukulanginsa tig-$50 milyon angmagkaribal.
