#Traslacion2017: The Feast of Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno in Quiapo

Wazzup Pilipinas!

#WalangPasok for all levels in the city of Manila on Monday, January 9, for the #Nazareno2017 . Devotees of the image of the #BlackNazarene will once again flock outside the Quiapo church. There will be tightened security, not only in Manila but nationwide, as the country will be under heightened alert as per Philippine National Police (PNP) because DILG Secretary Mike Sueno warns of a possible terror attack during the Feast of the Black Nazarene. It may not necessarily be at the actual event, and could target other areas since many would believe the police presence will be concentrated only in Manila.

A life-size image of Jesus Christ carrying a black wooden cross in a semi-kneeling position. This is how one describes the image of Nuestro Padre Hesus Nazareno in Quiapo. Crowned with thorns and a diadem of three silver rays, the head of Nazareno portrays the suffering face of Christ. It is said in the Passion narratives that Christ falls into his knee in the struggle to bear the heavy wooden cross.

The image of the Black Nazarene was brought to the Philippines by an unknown Recollect priest from Mexico during the Galleon trade. From the Church of Recollect Fathers in Intramuros, it was transferred to Quiapo Church according to the wish of the Archbishop Manila at that time.

Since then, the image of Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno has been enshrined in the center altar of the Church where it is visible to thousands of devotees.

Senator Tito Sotto Files Senate Resolution to Create Separate Film Festival for Indie Films

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"On a scale of 1 to Tito Sotto, how stupid are you?" 

Senator Tito Sotto files Senate resolution creating a separate film festival for indie films, saying these shouldn't dominate the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) every December.

Contrary to what he wants to happen, the MMFF is not intended to be exclusive for indie films. MMFF should be exclusive for quality Filipino films. Make a quality film if you want to make it to the MMFF.

He also questions the "quality" of the entries. questions the quality of indie films: "Quality ba yun? Hindi high-end equipment ang gamit. Hindi top quality ang video" says Sotto. How ironic, despite being in the showbiz industry for decades, he still has no clue about what quality films are.

People should say "Senador ba yan? Hindi naman high-end ang utak. Hindi rin top quality mag-isip."

'Sinira' daw ng MMFF2016 ang pasko ng mga bata eh ikaw nga Tito Sotto kinunsinte mo ang kapatid mo na nanggahasa ng katorse anyos na bata. Remember the Pepsi Paloma controversy? Now that's a longer story that should be talked about on a separate blog post.

Why is Tito Sotto even pushing for an indie-only MMFF wtf is Cinemalaya for then? HHHmmm..I believe I know where his motivations are coming from...Enteng Kabisote!

The MMFF would have been 100x better if the producers of ORO cast Tito Sotto as the dog.

Dear Tito Sotto, please watch #MMFF2016 entries so that you will know what made a quality film. Ang bitter mo hindi lang nakalusot si Enteng.

If he really wants "quality", then the mediocre/"corny" Vic Sotto films should also be excluded. I guess your brother's film business was seriously affected. Without context, it's safe to assume Tito Sotto hates Die Beautiful. Hello Paolo Ballesteros.

This comedian turned senator is the same person who said that “If you are not a pusher or a user, you have nothing to fear in the Philippines,” Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III. But Duterte has a name for those innocents killed in hi war on drugs: Collateral Damage.

When Senator Tito Sotto was asked about the survey that 8 out of 10 Pinoys worry about becoming EJK victims: "That means they know many people who are addicts, pushers"

James Taylor has also cancelled his concert in the Philippines as a protest, not because he is afraid of the EJK issues.

I am not surprised that Duterte is our President, as I am not surprised that Sotto is still a senator. Our political system is senseless. Our voting public misguided. ...and now Mocha Uson, from being a PhilStar Columnist, to an MMFF Ambassadres, and now an MTRCB Board Member? We are forever fucked.

Mocha Uson Appointed as MTRCB Board Member

"Why does this government keep trying to legitimize Mocha Uson? Why are they trying to repackage trash?" - Chowking Hazard @Watdahel_Marcel

Probably the BIGGEST JOKE I've heard from President Rodrigo Duterte ever! Mocha Uson has been appointed a board member of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB). Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea confirms the appointment. "Mocha is an artist. She is one of the biggest artists we have in the country. She's been in the show business world for more than a decade already," Presidential Communications Secretary Andanar said.

Kung si Mocha Uson nga pwedeng maging MTRCB board member so lahat ng imposible, pwedeng mangyari. Tangina crush naman pansinin mo na ako please.

Magbabalik loob na rin yata ako sa panunuod ng pinoy movies/ teleseryes ngayong board member na ng MTRCB si Mocha.

"Mocha Uson has common sense and knows the pulse of the public." says Tito Sotto. What? 

See? You can be anything you wish to be no matter how undeserving you are of it. Never give up on your dreams. Ang hinihintay ko na lang eh, ang magsama sa senado sina Tito Sotto at Mocha Uson. Power tandem ng Pilipinas kung nagkataon. Konting kapit pa kay Tatay Digong, Ate Mocha. Magiging Chief Justice ka niyan! So please don't joke about Mocha being the next president of the PH, it might come true. Lol!

Medtech Graduate at umabot ng 2nd Year sa Med School si Mocha. But Mocha is like our very own High School classmate who acts like a valedictorian even though we all know she can't even recite Panatang Makabayan right. SMH.

Mocha Uson says in Facebook post that her first mission is not to allow soft porn on prime time TV. She shouldn't be allowed on TV and soc med. Puro kasinungalingan at katangahan lang naman ang sinasabi.
