                    [Summary] => Woe on those who court the ire of people like Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile. At Bulong Pulungan sa Philippine Plaza Hotel Tuesday, the senator was asked if he had forgiven Sen. Jamby Madrigal, who had mentioned in her privilege speech that JPE’s surviving an aborted ambush had led to the late President Marcos’ declaration of martial law. The allusion had led to a stinging tirade from the elder senator. At Bulong Pulungan, JPE said forgiveness is "a Christian virtue," and that it is written that "he who is not without sin" should cast a stone at the supposed sinner.

                    [Summary] => No question about it. Menopause the Musical is a period piece. That stage in women’s life when their monthly period ceases and they start to feel like they’re going crazy, when losing their reading glasses becomes a daily habit, when they sweat at night wondering who turned off the air-conditioner, when their mood swings get so bad they feel like crying half the time, when their kids move out and leave an empty nest, and when they feel the need to replace their estrogen with chocolate.

                    [Summary] => Perennial model bride Romina Urra, and editor-in-chief of Chalk magazine wed architect Ramon (Monchu) Gonzalez in a fabulous Moroccan-inspired wedding, making fashion fantasy a reality. The pop couple was introduced to each other by Monchu’s cousin and Romina’s soccer teammate Rhea Joaquin. What bonded them aside from that electrifying boy-girl chemistry was that both realized they had the same friends.

                    [Summary] => As we watch missiles rain on Baghdad and see and hear a burst of explosions outlined in gold against the dark sky, we feel the excitement of a moviegoer in an IMAX theater. Most of us do not feel the tragedy of war – just yet. What we see is the excitement of battle, like spectators in the coliseum watching gladiators in the arena. What is unfolding before us is a spectacle. A show. Cable networks are pleased at today’s viewership of the TV coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom. People are entertained. Awed. Engrossed.

Take note: This is not a beauty pageant.
