Eumir Marcial survived Venezuelan knockout artist Eddy Colmenares in a 10-round slugfest that showed glimpses of ‘Thrilla in Manila’ a half century ago.

Facing the biggest test of his young pro career, Marcial showed great resolve after overcoming a knockdown in the third and another in the final round.

‘He told me during the weigh-in that our fight we’ll be an all-out war,’ said Marcial, who celebrated his 30th birthday with a gutsy victory late Wednesday night in a middleweight special attraction that lived up to its billing. ‘That’s exactly what happened.’

‘He was a very strong opponent but the support I got from the crowd made a big difference. It kept me going to pull off the win,’ he added.

Marcial won by majority decision and improved to 7-0 with four knockouts.

The Olympic bronze medalist also dealt Colmenares his first loss. Colmenares came into the fight 11-0 with all of his wins by knockout.

Earlier, another unbeaten Filipino prospect in Carl Jammes Martin kept his winning run going.

And like Marcial, Martin had to dig deep after suffering a third-round knockdown before coming away with a unanimous decision win over Thailand’s Aran Dipaen in their 10-round super bantamweight bout.

The pride of Lagawen, Ifugao upped his mark to 27-0, 20KOs.

Former unified world champion Marlon Tapales also emerged victorious following a sixth-round knockout of Venezuela’s Fernando Toro.

TO whom can we entrust our nation’s future if the political leaders in Congress those in whom the people repose their trust by electing them to their exalted positions are themselves involved in defrauding the government of billions of pesos in corruption-tainted flood control projects?

Congress’ responsibility aside from lawmaking is to perform oversight of the executive branch. Through its various committees, it is supposed to act as an architect of reform by monitoring the specific functions and performance of all agencies and departments under the executive branch, assessing their efficiency and impact on the delivery of government services, and ensuring laws are effectively implemented to enable the legislative body to formulate remedial measures when laws fail to meet their intended purpose.

It appears, however, that officials under the executive branch are required to appear before Congress only when a concerned department is subjected to investigation, as in the case of the Department of Public Works and Highways, or during the deliberation of their budget proposals.

Lawmakers are in a better position to carry out their oversight function monitor and evaluate the implementation of government projects and institute remedial measures against fraud, graft, corruption, inefficiency, and mismanagement.

Rallies denouncing corruption in flood control projects should remind us of what one pundit said: ‘We stopped paying attention to what was happening around us. We started taking each other for granted, and we weren’t listening to the things that were driving people’s pain, anguish, and frustration. Our political leadership became absorbed in their own self-interest, seeing only as far as the next election.’

La Salle turned back University of the East with conviction on Wednesday night and joined a frenzied fight among five teams now chasing one of two twice-to-beat privileges in the Final Four in Season 88 of the UAAP men’s basketball tournament.

An 84-72 victory at Mall of Asia Arena was a far cry from the overtime win that the Green Archers chalked up against the Red Warriors in the first round, and it was their fourth straight win that gave them a 6-3, record like idle defending champion University of the Philippines going into their last five games.

Adamson University is also in the mix after conquering University of Santo Tomas in thrilling style earlier, 97-96 in overtime, as the Soaring Falcons dragged the Growling Tigers down into a two-way tie for fourth at 5-4.

National University is at the top at 6-2, and with a game more left in its schedule compared to the chasing pack, the Bulldogs have an inside track to a top-two finish.

Luis Pablo starred for La Salle with 16 points and seven rebounds, while Mike Phillips continued to be a monster in the shaded lane with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Jacob Cortez also joined the free-flowing scoring with 12 as the Archers continued to thrive despite missing two key cogs in Mason Amos and Kean Baclaan.

‘We knew it was going to be challenging.,’ La Salle coach Topex Robinson said. ‘We knew that team would give its best every time we played against them. Credit to the team, they always come out competitive as well.’

While climbing to a share of second is impressive considering his manpower woes, Robinson is actually not looking at where they stand.

‘We don’t look at the competition and where we’re at,’ he said. ‘We’re in our own race.’

John Abate’s 20-point effort was put to waste as UE remained winless after nine games. Precious Momowei finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Warriors have all but bowed out.

The Falcons, meanwhile, got the good from their guards in pinning a third straight loss on the slumping Tigers.

Adamson actually came back from eight points down with 30 seconds left in regulation, with Matthew Montebon scoring the Falcons’ last nine points that forged overtime at 89.

Needed to take shots

And that kind of desire was what made coach Nash Racela beam with pride.

‘We’re developing grit,’ Racela said. ‘It’s good that our players play for each other better because that’s something we always preach.’

‘We were down and I knew not too much time was left, so when I saw the shots, I had to take them,’ Montebon said after finishing with 19 points, seven assists and four rebounds.

However, Montebon wasn’t the only hero who shone for Adamson. In overtime, Ray Allen Torres and Matt Erolon took charge to seal the comeback win.

And it was Erolon who shared a shot of the game with Montebon.

UST held the 96-94 lead with 36 seconds left after three free throws from Collins Akowe, before Erolon drained the game-winner with 2.6 ticks left.

Akowe finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds, while Mark Llemit accounted for 18 and 10, which still failed to help Santo Tomas snap an alarming skid.

I love a good horror movie, and 2025 gave us some really good horror films in ‘Bring Her Back’ and ‘Weapons.’ I want to put ‘Sinners’ in there, but I feel that the film may use the conventions of horror plus, it’s a film that’s much bigger in scope than what the genre of horror provides.

But 2025 is also a scary time: genocide, threats of war and of civil war, mass shootings in the United States, the mental health crisis, and the environmental crisis. The list goes on, really. How can a horror film scare us when the real world can sometimes be scarier than what’s on the cinema screen?

Talking with Richard Somes the other week about horror films got me thinking: What if I ask other horror film directors about their thoughts on the genre, and give a list of five horror films that are best suited for these times? Lucky for me, the Philippines has some of the best horror filmmakers out there today.

What makes a film scary?

When something feels normal but not quite. Smiles that last too long, birds humming. it triggers a primal unease. And also, the scariest films aren’t about monsters they’re about human vulnerability, grief, trauma, guilt, and repression. These are emotional doorways horror uses to slip into our psyche. The Babadook isn’t about a pop-up book demon. It’s about unresolved grief.

Why is horror so popular?

I think because horror movies scratch an itch that other genres tiptoe around it lets us safely confront the things we’re most afraid of. Death, darkness, the unknown, guilt, punishment, loss of control horror doesn’t run from those. It invites them in for dinner and asks them to stay the night.

Horror gives you a way to process anxiety without having to talk about it. Watching a character survive (or not survive) the worst imaginable situation lets you symbolically face your own hidden fears.

What makes a film scary?

A film is scary when it captures the fears of our time but does it with restraint, allowing the audience to feel rather than be told.

Why is horror so popular?

Horror gives us a safe space to confront death and fear. Inside the cinema, we can face what terrifies us and survive it.

Speak No Evil (2022): The nihilistic Danish original by Christian Tafdrup and NOT the wimpy American remake

‘Spoorloos’ (1988)

What makes a film scary?

I hate it when mainstream horror over-explains itself. A chink in the armor of the threat emboldens you, and the best horror operates on loss of control, mistrust of safe spaces, on displacement and disruption on not knowing. Restoration is the least of its priorities. Which is to say, the best horror defeats the audience. It’s way more nuanced than that, but that’s always been the point, I think.

Horror, even the bleakest ones, provide a catharsis juicier than the catharsis of tearjerkers because it’s a fear we’re temporarily exorcising

Why is horror such a popular genre?

Horror, even the bleakest ones, provide a catharsis juicier than the catharsis of tearjerkers because it’s a fear we’re temporarily exorcising, and we are all right now more afraid than we’re aware or care to admit. This is why I love watching James Wan films in the cinema.

‘Hereditary’ (2018)

What makes a film scary?

When it leaves an indelible impression as soon as the film ends, but slowly creeps back into your head as soon as you’re back home and the lights go out. The films that scare me are the ones that say less and make me imagine more.

Horror will continue to be loved because it is necessary

Why is horror so popular?

Horror will continue to be loved because it is necessary. We need to feel uncomfortable, to feel confronted. If we can’t look fear in the eye in real life, then we are destined to fail. Horror gives us a safe space to confront those fears.

‘Woman In the Dunes’ (1964)

‘Hereditary’ (2018)

‘Saw The Devil’ (2010)

‘Green Room’ (2015)

What makes a film scary?

For me, it’s the ability to invoke anxiety and dread. Jump scares are fleeting. Gore is spectacle. The supernatural has its limited appeal to a skeptic like me. So I prefer the feels ideally sustained throughout the film building up into a crescendo of the inevitable.

Why is horror so popular?

I think it is comparable to people loving roller coaster rides. It’s the stimulation, the novelty of diving into the unknown. Or it’s about wading into familiar tropes in the hopes of being surprised. Studies have been done about this. Personally, I just like being enveloped in thematic darkness from time to time.

What makes a film scary?

Film is scary when it weaponizes your imagination against you and makes you anticipate the worst. Also, after watching, it stays with you subconsciously; it lingers and disturbs you, and you connect certain situations or environments, or feelings with the memory of the film. You are not just scared but also scarred.

I also think there are good horror films (thematically rich, well-crafted, layered, original in narrative, etc.) that are not necessarily scary and actual scary horror films. Of course, they can be both good and scary. The ones in my list I consider both good and scary.

The Asian Development Bank is ready to extend up to a $1-billion loan to further build up the country’s grid network, which is crucial in accommodating new renewable capacities.

Priyantha Wijayatunga, ADB senior director for energy, said there was a request for the multilateral lender to provide financial support to deploy more transmission facilities.

‘We are looking at strengthening your national grid,’ he told reporters on the sidelines of the Asia Clean Energy Summit 2025 in Singapore.

‘I know its national grid operator is private, but as you know, the grid has not been strengthened in recent times adequately, particularly to absorb renewable energy from offshore wind and so on,’ the official added.

Based on its legislative franchise, the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP), operator of the country’s electricity superhighway, has the right to operate and maintain transmission assets.

The group has been investing multibillion pesos to roll out more grid projects across the Philippines.

Wijayatunga could not provide estimated figures under the planned financing.

Financing

‘It will have to be through DOE (Department of Energy) if we are talking of sovereign financing because obviously sovereign financing cannot go into the private sector,’ he said.

The ADB executive said that while this is in their pipeline, it may take time to materialize since the NGCP is not part of the government.

‘So there may have to be certain contractual kinds of discussions between the grid operator .,’ he said.

‘In a way, it might take a while, but it’s necessary, as you know, because the Philippines is quite interested in developing offshore wind, and so if you want to bring offshore wind into the grid, you need grid investments,’ Wijayatunga said.

Green energy auction

The government is preparing for the fifth round of the green energy auction, with 3,300 megawatts of offshore wind capacity targeted for delivery by 2028 to 2030.

According to the DOE, the GEA-5 would focus on the fixed-bottom offshore wind because of its ‘established global track record, cost-efficiency and scalability.’

The DOE said this approach would help the Philippines ‘expedite the near-term deployment of offshore wind.’

They were called ‘Bright Boys’ when they both became congressmen for the first time in 1998. They were elected together as senators in 2007, as a result of the national prominence they gained after playing frontline roles in the fight to impeach the scandal-stained former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. They went on to become leaders of both legislative chambers, with one becoming Speaker of the House of Representatives and the other becoming Senate President.

I still remember how Alan Peter Cayetano and Francis Joseph Escudero wooed civil society leaders for their support when they campaigned for the 2007 senatorial elections. They were both articulate, mouthed fiery rhetoric against corruption, and espoused forceful adherence to democratic fundamentals. Civil society leaders were convinced that the two could become potent agents of change, so they jumped on their bandwagon.

After they both won seats in the Senate, even their shadows were never seen again by their civil society supporters, who felt spurned and then swindled as they witnessed the two spiral into the most degenerative politicians, even more despised than the hated politicians they had fought against. The two became allies and defenders of, and apologists for, the most murderous and the most corruption-stained political family that has ever ruled our country the Dutertes.

Cayetano actively pursued a vice-presidential tandem with Rodrigo Duterte in the 2016 elections. He went on to collect a string of juicy posts while acting as an unabashed cheerleader, as Duterte went on a murderous rampage all over the country. Cayetano became secretary of Foreign Affairs, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and chair of the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee.

As Duterte’s Foreign secretary, Cayetano defended the bloody and violent record of Duterte by falsely claiming that all those who were killed during police operations were criminal drug dealers. Asked by the foreign press if he found it difficult to represent Duterte because of his controversial statements, including rape jokes, and calling the Pope a ‘son of a bitch’ and the United States ambassador to the Philippines a ‘son of a whore,’ Cayetano declared that ‘Filipinos are prouder now than ever.’

Unlike Cayetano, Escudero did not endorse or praise the bloody drug war during the Duterte presidency. He came out criticizing facets of the drug war, but only after Duterte was already out of office. For the duration of the Duterte presidency, there was no display of the kind of leader who rose to prominence, confronting and condemning a corrupt and abusive incumbent president. Escudero stood silent enjoyed his cushy posts and the perks as the nation got drenched in blood and was robbed blind.

Escudero was Senate President when the House of Representatives filed articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte. Despite the Constitution’s directive that ‘trial by the Senate shall forthwith proceed,’ Escudero’s Senate threw technical hurdles that led to multiple delays until the Supreme Court issued a very controversial decision invalidating the impeachment process. Escudero has been widely accused of protecting the VP by impeding the impeachment.

More recently, Escudero has emerged as one of the lawmakers who allegedly profited from the corruption-laden public infrastructure projects. He received P30 million in election contributions from a contractor who secured 112 government contracts worth approximately P16.67 billion from 2021 to mid-2025, almost all of which were concentrated in his home province of Sorsogon, where he served as governor for a time. A total of P5.16 billion of those controversial contracts were flood control projects.

More recently, in his statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth, Escudero disclosed that his net worth is merely P18 million. Instantaneously, pictures spread online of a blue Paraiba tourmaline ring reportedly worth $1 million (P58 million) that Escudero gifted to his wife, Heart Evangelista, as well as multiple expensive watches (with just one piece reportedly worth P10.5 million) that he had been pictured wearing.

The people have anchored their hopes and dreams on leaders like Cayetano and Escudero for close to 30 years now. In those three decades, the two have amassed political and material fortunes while corruption has turned from bad to worse, and government-sponsored violence has degenerated to appalling levels in our country.

The stories of Cayetano and Escudero are cautionary tales that our people should remember as we are again lured by a new breed of young politicians who beguile as chest-thumping firebrands and who charm as righteous leaders.

The reimagined production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ will take the stage in Manila in May as part of the legs of their international tour.

Theater production company GMG Productions announced the musical’s arrival in Manila in a press statement, where it will run from May 2 to 24 at The Theatre at Solaire in Parañaque.

‘After incredible success in Australia and the UK, we’re delighted to be bringing ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ to Manila. This Olivier Award-winning production has amazed audiences around the world with its raw energy and breathtaking performances. Whether you’ve loved the show for decades or are discovering it for the first time, this will be an unforgettable experience,’ producer David Ian said.

According to GMG CEO Carlos Candal, ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ is a musical that resonates with different generations.

‘We’re beyond thrilled to bring one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most iconic and influential musicals of all time to Manila. Jesus Christ Superstar is a show that transcends generations. Its music and story continue to inspire audiences, and we can’t wait for Filipino fans to experience this powerful production live,’ he said.

Further details on the cast, including its leads Jesus Christ, Judas Iscariot, Mary Magdalene, Pontius Pilate, Peter and Caiaphas are yet to be announced, as of this writing.

In a production led by London Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, Timothy Sheader will take charge as the director. The creative team is composed of Drew McOnie (choreographer), Tom Scutt (design), Lee Curran (lighting design), Nick Lidster (sound design), and Tom Deering (music supervision).

Loosely based on accounts in the gospel, ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ tells the story of Jesus Christ and his disciples, with a special emphasis on the point of view of Judas Iscariot. It originally began as a concept album until it evolved into a full-blown rock opera musical that opened in 1971.

Aside from its hit songs ‘Superstar’ and ‘I Don’t Know How to Love Him,’ the musical earned several accolades throughout its run such as the 2017 Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival and the 2016 Evening Standard Award for Best Musical.

Marikina City’s local government unit is preparing for the influx of people who would be visiting cemeteries this All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, as over 600,000 individuals are expected to move towards the city.

The Marikina Public Information Office (PIO) on Thursday announced on its Facebook page that in anticipation of huge crowds for, a one way eastbound traffic scheme will be implemented along A. Bonifacio Avenue and Sumulong Highway (Marikina area), from 6:00 a.m. of October 31 to 12:00 mn of November 3.

This means traffic can only flow on one side the lane from Aurora Boulevard towards the Barangka Flyover. Vehicles moving towards the Marikina City proper and the Marikina City Hall are asked to take the eastbound lanes, with vehicles moving to the Loyola Memorial Park and the Baranga Cemetery will take the westbound lane.

‘Please follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth and respectful visit to honor your departed loved ones,’ Marikina Mayor Maan Teodoro said in a statement.

Teodoro also assured the public that they have been inspecting, cleaning, and working to ensure public safety in at least six cemeteries in the city.

Marikina is home to large public and private cemeteries, like the Loyola Memorial Park, Barangka Municipal Cemetery, Aglipay Cemetery, Holy Child Cemetery, Our Lady of the Abandoned (OLA) Cemetery, and St. Paul of the Cross Parish Columbarium.

‘We are expecting more or less around 600,000 visitors for our dearly departed laid to rest here in Marikina. That’s why we have been inspecting, cleaning, and ensuring the safety of the public,’ Teodoro said in Filipino.

‘I have also directed our PNP (Philippine National Police), BFP (Bureau of Fire Protection), and concerned City Hall personnel to focus on Undas 2025,’ she added.

LIVE UPDATES: Undas 2025

Earlier, Teodoro and her husband, Marikina 1st District Rep. Marcelino Teodoro, led the inspection conducted by the said agencies along with Marikina’s City Parks and Development Office earlier.

Aside from these departments, Marikina PIO said that the city government has also mobilized the Health Office, the local police, the Office of Public Safety and Security (OPSS), Marikina Rescue 161, the Waste Management Office, and other concerned departments and force multipliers who will be stationed across the city’s cemeteries starting Thursday.

Mayor Teodoro has asked visitors to follow the guidelines and regulations set by the local government to ensure their safety and security, while also helping maintain cleanliness through proper disposal of trash.

‘I also call on the public to follow the rules and regulations laid down by the local government for everyone’s safety and security,’ she said in Filipino. ‘As a reminder, certain items are prohibited inside cemeteries, including firearms, sharp objects, alcoholic beverages, and gambling paraphernalia.

‘Also, we ask the public to do their part in keeping our cemeteries clean. Let us be mindful of our surroundings by properly disposing of waste and avoid littering,’ she added.

Several traffic adjustments have been prepared in anticipation of the big crowds for the coming weekend. In Pasig City, Marikina’s neighboring town, the local government unit said they will also implement a temporary one-way traffic scheme in some areas due to Undas 2025.

In an advisory released on Wednesday, the city government said that the northbound stretch of C. Raymundo Avenue, specifically from E. Angeles Street to Mercedes Avenue in Barangay Caniogan, will be temporarily one-way starting 2:00 p.m. on Friday, October 31, until Saturday, November 1.

The Manila South Cemetery recorded approximately 2,020 visitors by 11 a.m. Thursday, according to data released by the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Visitors’ arrival began early, with initial figures showing around 20 people entering the cemetery by 6 a.m. The numbers subsequently rose to 100 by 7 a.m. and reached roughly 1,000 visitors by 10 a.m., the PNP said.

On Wednesday, the PNP reported about 2,300 visitors at the cemetery ahead of Undas.

The cemetery will close at 6 p.m. on Thursday. From Friday until November 2, it will be open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Manila South Cemetery Director John Mark Mendez issued a reminder regarding the cemetery’s regulations.

Visitors are barred from bringing in:

alcoholic beverages,

weapons,

sharp objects,

firearms,

loudspeakers,

musical instruments, and

engaging in any form of gambling.

Zsa Zsa Padilla expressed her frustration after some online users made hurtful remarks about her children with the late Comedy King Dolphy.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, Oct. 29, Padilla addressed the comments questioning her biological daughter Zia’s resemblance to Dolphy and the allegations that their ‘adopted’ daughter Nicole was being ‘mistreated.’

‘Si Zia kamukha ni Dolphy. Magulat kayo kung kamukha siya ni Panchito!’ she wrote. ‘Eto pa isa, asan ang ampon? May pangalan anak ko: Coco. She is living in California with her husband. Kala niyo inaapi? Minor pa din? Tawag ka ng pulis. Report mo ako. Sarap niyo tirisin. #MayArawParaPumatol.’

(Zia looks like Dolphy. You’ll be surprised if she looks like Panchito. Here’s another one, where’s the adoptive daughter? My child’s name is Coco. She is living in California with her husband. You thought she’s being bullied? Still a minor? Call the police. Report me. I would like to squeeze you. There are days to fight back.)

Si Zia Kamukha ni Dolphy. Magulat kayo kung Kamukha sya ni Panchito! Ang aga pa ah. Eto pa isa- asaan ang ampon? May pangalan anak ko: Coco. She is living in California with her husband. Kala nyo inaapi? Minor pa din? Tawag ka ng pulis. Report mo ako. Sarap nyo tirisin..

It was not immediately known what prompted Padilla’s outburst, but netizens showed support for the actress-singer’s statement.

Padilla and Dolphy share two daughters together, Zia Quizon, a singer-songwriter known for hits like ‘Ako Na Lang,’ and Nicole ‘Coco’ Quizon, who is now based in California.

Padilla also shares a daughter, actress-singer Karylle, with her former spouse, the late Dr. Modesto Tatlonghari.

Dolphy, on the other hand, had 18 children from different relationships, including those with Padilla.

Padilla was the longtime partner of Dolphy for more than two decades until the comedy king’s death in 2012.

Padilla recently made headlines after she made a generous donation to the victims of the earthquake in Cebu.

Dolphy starred in numerous classic films and TV shows such as ‘John en Marsha’ and ‘Home along da Riles.’
