Word on Charice Pempengco's cosmetic "treatment" in the hands of Dr Vicki Belo goes viral

-
Word about Charice Pempengco's cosmetic "treatment" goes viral over the Web. Even celebrity blogger Perez Hilton weighs in giving this piece of advise presumably to Ms Pempengco: "Get some help, bb - or you're not gonna last very long". ABS CBN News called the whole episode The commercialization of Charice.

Indeed, it seems the only person laughing all the way to the bank here (or at least, for now, aspiring to out of all this) is "Doctor" Vicki Belo who posted a photo of herself with Ms Pempengco (portion shown above) on her clinic's Facebook page the Belo Medical Group which is accessible to the public as of this writing.

Considering that Pempengco was originally noticed by the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres sans all such facial "enhancement" (i.e. when she performed as herself) we can only wonder now if this is all a misguided attempt to compete in a class of celebrity she may not be cut out for to begin with.
Who the eff would do that to an effing teenager in good conscience?!

Perez Hilton is spot on.

    The other issue to keep in mind here is why this "doctor" is publicly disclosing information that should be a private matter between doctor and patient.

Filipinos cannot progress if they cannot follow even simple guidelines

A noted blog commentator once made an assertion that the Philippines will never be a great nation unless Filipinos learn to live by the principle of the "rule of law". Indeed, some people even insist that none of the calls by certain sectors of Philippine society for a system change like a shift from a Presidential to a Parliamentary system or even constitutional amendments will work to uplift the status of the nation because Filipinos simply cannot follow the "rule of law."

Google Philippines' Top 20 most influential Filipino women

I recently got a load of Google's list of most "influential" Filipinas (Filipino women) for 2010. The list is utterly dominated by performers along with a handful of notable exceptions: Senator Miriam Santiago (no. 10), Doris Dumlao (journalist, no. 12), Monique Lhullier (designer, no. 17), and Korina Sanchez (journalist, no. 19). These 20 ladies supposedly "grabbed the greatest online mindshare in 2010". So presumably, they reflect the substance of the Filipino collective mind.

Roundabouts to "solve" Manila traffic - a microcosm of flawed Filipino thinking

Roundabouts (or "rotundas" as they are more commonly known as in the Philippines) are being touted by the cash-strapped Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) as "an alternative measure to ease traffic congestion". According to a "simulation study", the MMDA foresees a "200% increase in the speed" of areas where roundabouts can be successfully implemented. ABS-CBN News reports that MMDA spokesperson Tina Velasco expects the following specific benefits coming from the increased use of roundabouts in Metro Manila's intersections:
