ALLAN THE MAN

MANILA, Philippines - (UPDATE, 9:44 a.m.) Three days after his plane crashed Saturday, the body of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo was recovered early Tuesday, Transportation and Communications Secretary Manuel "Mar" Roxas II announced in Masbate City.

Roxas, in a tearful press conference, said Robredo's body was recovered 800 meters from shore at a depth of about 180 feet. The body was surfaced at about 8:15 a.m.

"At roughly 8:30 a.m.-8:40 a.m., ang bangkay ni Sec. Jess abot na surface inilagay sa body bag," Roxas said.

Roxas said the plane was "inverted" and two pilots were closest to the dashboard of the cockpit, in the deepest part of the cockpit. Robredo was the closest to the back and was the first retrieved by divers.

My Blog, 'Allan is the Man', has now surpassed 1 Million Pageviews! 

To give you little info about my blog, well, my blog started May 2008 but only on 2009 that I started posting. That time, It carries a blog title of ‘A Blogger Wanna Be' then in early 2011, I replaced it with the blog title 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved', which I got from the popular then song of the band The Script and on the later part of 2011, The 'Allan is the Man' was born and, as cliché goes, the rest was history. 

Memory Card Reader ka ba?

Bakit?

Kasi.. gusto kung ipakita sayo ang memory card ng puso ko na tanging ikaw lang ang laman nito..

Sen. Tito Sotto's emotional story on the Senate floor last Monday about the death of his son may have come from his heart, but at least one lengthy passage from his speech came from someone else's blog.

Sotto's description of the purported ill effects of birth control pills on unborn children was lifted nearly word for word from the blog of "Sarah, the healthy home economist," a US-based writer who also opposes vaccines for children and offers recipes for goodies like grain-free pumpkin cookies.

Sotto did not attribute any of his words or research to "Sarah, the healthy home economist," whose disclaimer cautions that "the nutritional and other information on this website are not intended to be and do not constitute health care or medical advice.

The plagiarism was first exposed by Alfredo Melgar on the blog Filipino freethinkers.

Here is a comparison of Sotto’s speech and Sarah’s blog:
