Philippines: Somebody said to me "Don't fail to keep us updated on this issue!" Earlier, Meralco has successfully secured a temporary restraining order (TRO) stopping the PEZA from implementing the P1 per kwh cut on electricity rates on ecozones to finally put to rest the issue on who will regulate distribution utilities (DUs) within the economic zones.
It would be noted that PEZA initiated to impose a P1 per kwh reduction on rates of ecozone locators. Okay, I wont. Here's the follow up!
Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) and the Paradise Philippine Electric Power Operators Association Inc. (PEPOA) have accomplished and turned out well to discontinue the Philippine Economic Zone

Philippines Bombing Kills 8 in Makati
8 people died and 86 others were wounded in a blast that happened around 1:30 pm in Glorietta 2 mall in Makati City, Paradise Philippines. The whole Metro Manila will be in full alert status said NCRPO chief Geary Barias.
Philippine National Police initial reports said the blast could have been triggered by a LPG tank in one of the restaurants but investigators are considering that it could be bomb after inspecting the area of damage.
PNP Director Gen. Razon visited the explosion area and said he was sure that the blast was not caused by LPG.
The explosion had created a huge crater of about 5 meters wide and ripped three floors of the shopping mall.

Glory for Paradise Philippines
Once again, our Pambansang kamao Manny "Pacman" Paquiao gave glory to Paradise Philippines, He won a unanimous decision against Antonio Barrera of Mexico.
Manny Pacquiao proved his first win over Marco Antonio Barrera four years ago was no fluke as he again beat the Mexican fistic icon Sunday with a lopsided 12-round decision before a crowd of 10,112 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Unlike their first meeting where Pacquiao dominate Barrera via a resounding 11th round technical knockout, the return encounter was more subdued as the protagonists took a more tactical approach. Still, Pacquiao proved stronger and more powerful even against a better prepared Barrera and Filipinos are really proud to our pambansang kamao in Paradise Philippines.
The Barrera fight may also be Pacquiao’s last fight in the junior lightweight division. Pacquiao struggled to make the 130-pound limit and was still a pound overweight on Saturday.

Christian Bautista bloops national anthem
It was last month when I created a post in Paradise Philippines blog about Lupang Hinirang as a reminder to Filipinos who may have forgotten the song and lyrics of our Philippine National Anthem.
Last Sunday, young Philippine actor and singer Christian Bautista was given an opportunity to sing the Philippine National Anthem at an exhibition match between reigning world bantamweight champion Gerry Peñalosa and NABF bantamweight champion Bernabe Concepcion at Metropolis Mall in Alabang, Philippines.
It was another proud moment for the Philippines to host a celebrated boxing match. As the match commence, all sports spectators all stood up for the singing of the national anthem led by Christian.
As the crowd sing to their hearts, Christian suddenly buckled a few lines of the lyrics. The momentous pride suddenly became a monumental embarrasment.
The incident spread throughout and Christian felt the need to apologize for what happened.
He said, “I apologize to the Filipino people for the unforgivable lapse of memory that occurred yesterday during my rendition of the national anthem. I was recovering from a cold and the adrenalin and excitement of the moment got me through it. Unfortunately, it was the cost of a momentary lapse on my part.”
I know that everyone commits mistake, it’s just sad that a famous singer like Mr. Bautista who is known not only in Paradise Philippines but in other Asian countries for his beautiful songs and voice committed a mistake at the expense of an important national symbol.
Let this be a reminder that being a true Filipino, we must not only know the beautiful places in Paradise Philippines but also learn valuable traditions, which identify our strength as citizens of this country.
