China TV 'claims' the Philippines is part of China's territory



Beijing — An anchor on China's state-run television network has accidentally declared the Philippines a part of China, in an embarrassing gaffe as tensions between the two nations run high.

He Jia, anchor for China Central Television's (CCTV) nationally televised news broadcast, made the claim during a late Monday broadcast that has been repeatedly replayed on the Internet.

The presenter apparently meant to say that the Huangyan islands – known in the Philippines as the Scarborough Shoal, and claimed by both nations – is China's territory.

"We all know that the Philippines is China's inherent territory and the Philippines belongs to Chinese sovereignty, this is an indisputable fact," He said in the broadcast, which has since disappeared from the CCTV website but is available elsewhere on the web.

Viewers joked in online postings that the presenter's nationalistic fervour led to her mistake.

"This anchor woman is great, a good patriot, she has announced to the world the the Philippines belongs to China," said a microblogger named helenjhuang.

"We should attack directly, send (Philippine President Benigno) Aquino packing and take back our inherent territory."

"And I Am Telling You" - Jessica Sanchez on American Idol 11 Top 4 Show



And I Am Telling You - Jessica Sanchez

Finally! Jessica Sanchez received again a standing ovation from the Idol judges with her rendition of Jennifer Holliday song, "And I Am Telling You" on American Idol Top 4 Show. A great song choice for Jessica!

Her second song is "Steal Away' by Etta James. She didn't received a standing ovation for this one but judges think that she nailed it and obviously she has ridiculous vocals.

My Prediction.
I think Jessica will be safe for tomorrow elimination. Although 'wag tayong magpakasiguro. Vote For Her HERE. For me, It's either Hollie Cavanagh or Phillip Phillips are to be voted off tomorrow. You Agree?

Video of Raymart Santiago - Mon Tulfo fight in NAIA now on YouTube



MANILA, Philippines – The scuffle between journalist Mon Tulfo and actor Raymart Santiago on Sunday has been caught on video and uploaded on the video-sharing site YouTube.

The 59-second video posted by glamchiq00 showed Santiago charging at Tulfo and people trying to stop the fist fight.

The video was uploaded after news broke out earlier in the afternoon about the incident.

Both Tulfo and Santiago were among the top trending topics on microblogging site Twitter because of the incident.

Santiago’s wife, actress Claudine Barretto, said she is challenging Tulfo to show the video which he claims caught her scolding the airport staff. Barretto also appealed to airport authorities to release the CCTV footage to determine who really started the brawl between Tulfo and her husband.

The amateur video was immediately shared on other social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.

“I don't know what happened, but from this video, mas hinawakan at inawat si Mon Tulfo ng mga guards than Raymart Santiago. Walang pumigil kay Raymart sa pagsuntok niya kay Mon Tulfo while Tulfo was held down by the airport guards,” journalist Joel Pablo Salud said on Facebook.

Also seen in the music video is our very own Filipina Actress Rhian Ramos who did the rapping part of the song.

While the music is an upbeat mix of funk, reggae and dance pop, and lends a cosmopolitan touch to the tropical scenarios. It is composed by French writer-turned-musician Julien Drolon


According to his interview with Philippine Daily InquirerDrolon described the Philippines as the land of music in Asia. He also added that in France they don't live music the way Filipinos do.

Drolon has so far recorded six songs with an all-Filipino lineup of musicians that also serve as his regular band, including keyboardist Leal Nanca, who wrote the rap lyrics to "Phil So Good." Drolon has also worked with Noel Mendez, Jack Rufo, Rico Blanco and the band Brownman Revival.

'PHIL SO GOOD' English/Tagalog Lyrics

Paradise islands, white sand beach
Tropical jungles where tribes still live
Land of Rizal and the guitar strings
Gotta find some time to live it here

I am in the Philippines x 3
And I feel so good, so good
