"Look Who's Talking III". This ain't no urban legend! She lays flowers for victims of the World Trade Center while there are still haunting stories about the Manila Film Center.

"It was a very quiet Saturday for me with my cellphone switched off in sympathy for those protesting the proposed text cuts by cellphone providers. Like many others, I survived it and couldn’t understand why some couldn’t live that day without texting or calling.

Definitely the cellphone providers did not lose much revenue that day, but certainly the protesters have made their voices heard. We just hope the cellphone
providers were listening and act positively." - Read the rest of the column by our special guest from the Manila Standard, Stella Arnaldo.
