Lucky and Flo: Anti-Piracy Sniffing Dogs Hit Metro Manila

luckyflo.jpgLucky and Flo, the canine detectives is currently in the Philippines after making headlines in Malaysia last month where they sniffed-out 1.3 million pornographic and pirated discs, worth $3.3 million in different parts of the country.

The canine duo arrived in the country this weekend aiming to help the Optical Media Board (OMB) in it’s anti-piracy campaign. On monday, Lucky and Flo we’re dispatched to different malls in Makati,Mandaluyong,and Pasig to sniff-out pirated DVDs and CDs hidden in cartons and locked steel doors. Nervous stall owners scurried away or locked themselves behind steel doors when the two labradors started to sniff and led the government agents, OMB officials and representatives of the Motion Picture Association-International.

The two female dogs — wearing neon vests stamped with their names — sniffed through glass cabinets, bags and boxes. The pirated discs they found included recent releases such as the very fresh fight of Manny Pacquaio vs. Jorge Solis disc aired just last sunday.

According to Edu Manzano, chairman of Optical Media Board, after one hour, they seized almost 300,000 pirated discs and arrested 11 people.

“Lucky and Flo will be here for a considerable amount of time and we will be going all over Manila, and we are also contemplating going all over the Philippines. As you can see, the dogs have been very, very effective.” Manzano said.

The two Labradors reportedly caused the ire of movie pirates in Malaysia and offered a huge reward for each dogs. Lucky and Flo are reported to be the first animals trained to detect optical disc by scent. They were sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America as part of an initiative to combat copyright infrigement relating to motion pictures and DVD discs.

Claudine and Gretchen Baretto reconcile at last

It seems like all is well for Claudine Baretto these days. She’s 6 months on the family way, has a new soap which is set to air this month and the best thing yet, a reconciliation.Yes folks, you heard it right she finally buried the hatchet with older sister Gretchen Baretto.

Claudine revealed in press conference of her new soap, Walang Kapalit, that a chance meeting with Gretchen in S&R grocery in Makati did it. ” It was very emotional lang, ‘yong pagkikita. Parang siya ata ‘yong unang nakakita sa akin. Mabilis, e. Mabilis ‘yong pangyayari.” she said..

Claudine did not want to divulge the details of the meeting. She said that she’s feeling better now that there’s foregiveness but she also added that things aren’t back to normal yet and that they were not getting together anytime soon.

“Were taking things slow. I guess we’ll just wait for another opportunity” adds Claudine.

It’s good that they settled their differences. But I just find it strange that this reconciliation happens when Claudine is promoting her new soap with Piolo Pascual. Good timing huh! What do you think?

Ang Cute ng Ina Mo! Tops Pinoy Box-Office

Ai-ai de las Alas and the rest of the cast of the movie Ang Cute ng Ina Mo! couldn’t be happier these days. And why not? Their movie tops box office as its gross roughly about 30 million on its opening last Saturday. The movie is such a riot and funny, claimed those people who already watched the movie.

Ai-ai exclaims, “Cartoons na ang level nitong movie ko. May exaggerated moves and gags that are out of this world! Na-insecure lang ako kay Luis (Manzano) kasi siya may butt exposure, ako wala!”

Directed by Wenn Deramas, Ang Cute ng Ina Mo! is a joint project of Star Cinema and Viva Entertainment. Aside from Ai-ai, the wacky cast includes Luis Manzano, Anne Curtis, Eugene Domingo and John Lapuz.

If you want to have fun and enjoy, catch the movie in more than 100 theaters nationwide.

TOGETHER AGAIN

Piolo Pascual and Regine Velasquez first worked together in an episode of Maalala Mo Kaya in ABS CBN years ago. The tandem clicked and caught the attention of the big bosses of the two giant film outfit, Star Cinema and Viva Films which now produces the soon to be release movie of Piolo and Regine, entitled Sana Ikaw Na.

Movie watchers should anticipate this movie as Regine admits, that she did so many firsts in this movie. “Naku, ang dami kong first time na ginawa dito, na parang ‘pag pinanood ng Nanay ko ito, e, papagalitan niya si Piolo!” jokes Regine.

“Sasabihin ko na naman sa Nanay ko, ‘Kinompyuter lang ‘yan!’ Kaso, the scene has to be done. Pinalayas ko lang lahat ng tao sa set,” adds the singer-actress.

Piolo as well is very excited, “Lalo kong in-admire si Regine [sa eksenang yun] dahil hindi niya lang nililimitahan ang sarili niya,”he said.

JOLINA AND BEBONG RETREATS IN ANTIPOLO

Last holy week, when most celebrities went to boracay and other resorts to spend their vacation, Jolina Magdangal and boyfriend Bebong Munoz spent their holy week in a retreat house in Antipolo.

Jolina says “Ginawa namin ito to recharge at maging ready sa mga darating na pagsubok sa amin, hindi lamang sa aming personal na buhay kundi sa aming mga trabaho. Inaamin namin na may pressure sa amin ang mga nangyayari. At ang maganda, para na rin itong isang marriage encounter dahil sa ilang araw na nasa retreat house kami, marami kaming natutunan sa mga spiritual exercises and reflections na ibinigay nila.

“Tulad po ng sinabi ko, six years na kami ni Bebong. Akala namin, kilalang-kilala na namin ang isa’t isa, pero during the retreat, marami pa rin pala kaming madi-discover sa isa’t isa. Ngayon, mas matatag na ang pagsasamahan namin ni Bebong,” Jolens said.

Jolina also shrugs rumors that her father is upset that she didn’t join the family in their holy week celebration in their Antipolo resthouse. “Hindi nga namin nakasama ang mga pamilya namin noong Holy Week kasi ‘yon lang ang time namin na magkasamang mag-retreat,” shares Jolina.

Jolina is now back hosting her daily show Unang Hirit and SOP on Sunday both on GMA while Bebong is busy with his campaign. He is running as a Congressman in Caloocan.

MISS SAIGON IN MELBOURNE

The long-running musical of Cameron Mckintosh’s Miss Saigon opens in Melbourne with great reviews. The australian opening is a hit among Aussies. Filipino theater actor Leo Valdez, reprises his role as the The Engineer. In a letter, Leo exclaimes, ” We are all over the papers and magazines”, he continues,” we even have a “Miss Saigon tram’ (small coaches on rail) going around Melbourne, with my picture as The Engineer on the side, beamin bigger than ever”.

Other Filipino casts includes Laurie Cadevida, (the only sister of singer Kris Lawrence) playing Kim, RJ Rosales as Thuy and Australia-based Jenifer Trijo as Kim alternate.

Surely, the Filipino talent continues to make us all proud as what Lea Salonga did when she first did Miss Saigon in the 90’s.

Congratulations Leo and the whole cast of Miss Saigon-Melbourne!
