Myanmar football coach describes their problem during their arrival in PH as “small issue”

The football coach of Myanmar Men’s football team Velizar Popov set aside the question by some media about the problem they’re encountered during their arrival in the Philippines.

In an interview, Popov said that the discomfort they experienced during their arrival is just a “small issue”.

“Obviously somebody didn’t do his job the best possible way, because everybody knows when we arrive, there is no bus, we waited almost an hour,” Popov said.

Popov refused to talk about their arrival experience anymore to the media.

“That’s a small issue for me. It is not a big deal and I don’t want to talk more about it because it is not the main thing in the tournament,” he said.

Meanwhile, House Speaker and PHISCOG Chairman Alan Peter Cayetano visited the affected teams including Myanmar and personally apologized for the inconvenience they experienced.

“Sa mga foreign teams, talagang we are apologizing for the inconveniences or if I may call it inefficiencies or miscoordination,” said Cayetano.

According to a Facebook post, Myanmar waited for several hours before a bus arrived at the airport.

The bus they used is also too small so the football team members were crumpled inside.

They planned to do some training in the country, but it’s now postponed because of the problems they experienced.

 

 

“Nag areglo na!” Lawyer reveals that complainants already apologized to teacher Melita Limjuco

A lawyer who’s assisting teacher Melita Limjuco for free revealed that she’s already safe from charges as the Department of Education (DepEd) step in to end the issue.

In a post, Atty. Joseph Noel M. Estrada said that a DepEd supervisor helped Limjuco and the complainants Salve Banez, and Rosemil Edroso to meet face-to-face and fix the misunderstanding between the two parties.

Estrada said that the complainants already apologized to Limjuco, which the teacher accepted for the sake of her student.

According to him, the side of the complainant didn’t bring a lawyer, so he decided to stay outside the office and let the two camp talk privately.

“Nagkaayos na po sila teacher at ang panig ng magulang sa tulong po ng DepEd supervisor. Sabi po ni teacher e alang alang sa bata tinanggap nya na din ang sorry nila,” he said.

“Ako naman, nasa gate lang ako ng EDSES at hindi na sumali sa usapan ksi walang abogado ang panig ng magulang. At mas mabuti na magkausap sila ng masinsinan. I was assured by the Supervisor they’re handling it well and I trusted them,” he added.

While netizens are sending their gratitude Estrada for his help, the lawyer said that the people should thank the netizens who pushed the issue to become viral on social media.

“Marami po akong natatanggap na pasasalamat sa pagtulong kay teacher. Pero ang dapat pong pasalamatan ay ang mga netizens lalo na yun mga nagmalasakit at nagsend sa akin ng link ng tv show dito sa FB Page kahit hindi nyo naman talaga kilala si teacher. Kung wala po kayo hindi ko agad matutulungan si teacher,” he said.

According to him, he would do his best to protect the teaching license of Limjuco.

“We’ll make sure she keeps her job, her reputation intact, and her morale restored. And we will do this by observing due process and in the proper forum,” he said.

It’s not yet known if Limjuco will still accept the invitation of Raffy Tulfo in his program as she already got a lawyer and the issue was already settled in DepEd.

A few days ago, Limjuco was featured in Raffy Tulfo’s program after she received a complaint from Edroso.

Tulfo asked Limjuco if she wanted to choose to lose her teaching license or face charges in court, the teacher picked the first option.

The netizens didn’t like the action of Tulfo and started criticizing the journalist on social media.

One of the families helped by Tulfo in his program shows support to the journalist: “The nation will not forget how many people you’ve helped”

Amid the criticisms he’s receiving on social media after scolding a teacher in his program, journalist Raffy Tulfo found an ally from one of the families he helped.

On his Facebook post, Christian Butal expressed his support to Tulfo, believing that the journalist is going to survive the controversy.

As being one of the people who received help from Tulfo, Butal said that he saw how stressful is the work of the journalist who’s talking to hundreds of complainants every day.

“Kaya mo yan Idol Raffy! I just learned earlier na nabash ka pala. I watched part 1 and 2 just this morning po and I know how stressful your life is in the studio,” Butal said.

“I’ve seen it on cam and off cam. Thousands of people waiting outside your studio and it’s normal that we make rush decisions but that doesn’t define our personality and whole-being,” he added.

Butal is confident that the people would not forget the good deeds committed by Tulfo.

“What is important is that you were able to learn from it and was able to do the right thing in a timely manner. The nation will not forget how many people you’ve helped already just because of this mistake,” he remarked.

The netizen also pointed out the importance of the teachers and discipline.

According to him, he also experienced being ordered to be out of the classes.

Butal said that because of receiving disciplinary actions, he learned how to be resourceful and he used what he learned from the school to prove the innocence of his father by searching for CCTV footage of the said incident.

“I salute all the teachers who are hardworking. I experienced being disciplined before by my elementary teacher. Na palabas na din ako dati kasi di ko nagawa assignment ko noon dahil wala ng space notebook ko at wala pambiling notebook,” he said.

“I wouldn’t realize na marami pang ibang paraan kung pinagbigyan lang ako ni teacher at hindi nadisiplina. Now, I grown up resourceful and that’s because of their discipline (kaya nahanap ko yung cctv) . My parents disciplined me before and it’s worse than my teachers but I love it, it made me who am I today,” he added.

He also urged the people not to criticize the complainants who pushed for the revocation of the license of the teacher.

“Please don’t bash the family of the kid kasi lahat naman tayo ganun mararamdaman lalo na kung may bata tayo at ganyan ang nangyari normal lang yun,” he said.

“Also we have to accept the fact that discipline cannot be earned in an easy way it’s always the hard way. Like diamonds bago naging dyamante yan naging bato muna yan at nag undergo ng mahabang process at hindi yun madali,” he added.

Christian is the son of Alexander Butal, the 53-year old driver who got mobbed after being accused of touching a lady in a jeep, but because of the help of the show, it was proven that the latter is innocent.

Several netizens also noticed Christian during the show because of being calm and trying to give advice to his father.

Tulfo is receiving criticisms after he agreed with the complainants to revoke the license of teacher Melinda Limjuco.

Millions of netizens expressed their support to Limjuco. The issue even catches the attention of several politicians and the Department of Education.

After receiving 287,000 dislikes on Youtube and a tremendous amount of criticisms on other social media platforms, journalist Raffy Tulfo apologized to the netizens after he pushed the revocation of the license of a teacher who received a complaint in his show.

A few days ago, Tulfo received criticisms after he scolded teacher Melita Limjuco in his show after the latter was caught ordering the child of the complainant to sit outside their classroom.

“I am going to listen to the netizens, kasi nga naman kung wala yung mga netizens eh wala din tayong show, so having said that I guess, ang gagawin ko nalang ay etong si teacher at itong parent ng bata ay pagbabatiin ko nalang,” Tulfo said.

“May point nga naman sila na very harsh yung desisyon na pag-resignin yung teacher, although si teacher, she really admitted na meron siyang pagkakasala doon,” he added.

“Para sa akin naman po, kung ang Diyos ay nakakapag patawad, tayo pa kaya, nag apologize naman po si teacher on air, doon pa lamang po ay nagpakumbaba na siya, sana po ay nakabawas na po ito ng sama ng loob niyo,” Tulfo told Edroso.

“So okay lang po ba sa inyo na pagbabatiin ko nalang kayo ma’am?” he added.

However, Edroso complained that they also received a mass amount of criticisms on social media and some people even made a fake account to make fun of them.

Despite that, Tulfo is successful in convincing the complainant to stop pushing the revocation of the license of Limjuco after he pointed out the importance of the netizens, and also narrated that he also experienced being disciplined by his teachers.

Now, Edroso is only asking for another public apology from the teacher next week.

“I think it’s a win-win solution, nanalo po kayo at nakakuha ng hustisya, nanalo rin po yung mga netizens sa kanilang gustong mangyari. Sana ma’am maintindihan niyo tong sinasabi ko,” he said.

Before the episode ends, Tulfo said that he welcomes the criticisms from the netizens.

“Okay lang yun, hindi niyo nagustuhan yung desisyon ko, hindi niyo nagustuhan yung desisyon ko, okay lang po yun punahin ninyo ako, tao lang naman ako, hindi naman ako perpekto,” he said.

He then shared to the netizens how tiring his job is in handling Raffy Tulfo in Action.

“This is the time na sabihin ko sa mga netizens, ano bang kalagayan ko diyan sa ating programa. Hindi po madali ang ginagawa ko po at ginagawa ng mga tao, daan daang katao po ang gustong makipag usap sa akin every single day,” he said.

“By the time na pag dating po ng hapon, pagod na pagod na ko, kung minsan bago palang ako maisalang sa tanghali yung isang problema, pagod na ko, kasi may tinatawag na off-air na pagi-interview,” he added.

“Worst Episode?” Raffy Tulfo receives criticisms and more than 100,000 dislikes from netizens after scolding a teacher in his program

Journalist Raffy Tulfo is one of the most popular people on social media right now and already gained millions of fans because of his public service program.

While most of the videos of Raffy Tulfo gained positive comments on social media, there’s an episode on his Youtube channel which uploaded three days ago has received 100,000 dislikes as of writing.

The journalist is being criticized now for scolding a teacher who’s already working for three decades after someone complained about her way of disciplining her students.

Complainants Salve Banez, and Rosemil Edroso went to Raffy Tulfo to complain about the actions of teacher Melita Limjuco.

Banez claimed that Limjuco embarrassed her grandchild many times, saying that the teacher’s way of disciplining her student is very wrong.

The complainant narrated that Limjuco let her grandchild stay out of their classroom as punishment for not returning the card they borrowed.

There’s also a CCTV footage showing how Limjuco ordered the child to sit outside their classroom.

“Gusto ko lang ay mabigyan siya ng leksyon, dahil ang ginawa niya sa apo ko ay hindi makatarungan, kasi malaki ng impact non sa apo ko, ang sipag niya pumasok, matalinong bata…” Banez said.

Later on, Limjuco defended herself saying that she doesn’t intend to embarrass the child, but only wanted to discipline him.

However, Tulfo argued that Limjuco really meant to embarrass the child and she could face charges for what she did.

“Yung paglabas mo dala dala mo yung upuan niya at ibinagsak mo pa yung upuan, at galit na galit ka, nandoon pa yung facial expression mo at pagkatapos sabay pasok mo at yung bata pinabayaan mong nakaupo doon at pinabayaan mo siyang mapahiya sa kanyang kapwa mga estudyante,” Tulfo told Limjuco.

Limjuco made an apology to Banez for what she did to their grandchild, insisting that she didn’t mean to traumatize her student.

Banez didn’t accept the apology of Limjuco while Tulfo warned the teacher that she’s going to face charges.

“Hihingi ka sakin ng sorry? no sorry,” Banez said.

“Parang awa niyo na po, ako na nga po ang humihingi ng sorry, humihingi po ako ng tawad, please po,” Limjuco responded.

Meanwhile, the mother of the child, Rosemil Edroso said that she only wanted to remove the teaching license of Limjuco.

Before the episode ends, Tulfo invited the teacher to their action center so they could talk personally with the complainants.

The video gained a tremendous amount of negative comments from the netizens who defended the teacher and criticized Tulfo for siding with the complainants.

Several social media users even urged netizens to dislike the said video of Raffy Tulfo.

“Naging estudyante rin ako. Pinahiya, pinatayo ng matagal, pinalabas sa klase, pinatilyahan, nginudngod pa nga ako sa pisara nung di ako makasagot sa aralin sa Math.  At kung makakasalubong ko ang mga dati kong guro. Wala ako ibang sasabihin kundi salamat. Dahil sa kanila, mas matatag ako ngayon,” netizen Joshua Capul said.

“Isa na namang guro ang nawalan ng trabaho. Pinaka disappointing na episode ng Tulfo,” Netizen Migs Reyes remarked.

 

 

Cayetano says that Drilon allies are the reason for the shortage of classrooms: “Don’t talk to me about classrooms because you created the classroom shortage”

House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano took a swipe against Senate Minority Floor Leader Franklin Drilon and former President Benigno Aquino III after they questioned the spending of the government for the 2019 Southeast Asian (SEA) games.

In a press conference in Tarlac, Cayetano questioned why the opposition are questioning a cauldron built by the current administration while in the past they didn’t complain when the Aquino administration asked for P10-B for the APEC Summit in Manila in 2015.

“Ang sinasabi ko lang yung hypocrisy na nung P10 billion ang hiningi nila sa Kongreso, para sa APEC, [sabi nila] para sa bayan ito, representasyon ito, karangalan ito. We have to spend on known artists and singers. We have to serve good food para maganda representasyon,” Cayetano who’s also the PH Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee Chairman said.

“‘Yun nakita nila at justified nila pero yung P50-million na priceless work of art na forever pagmamay-ari ng gobyerno, sasabihin nila sana 50 classrooms na lang?,” he added.

Cayetano reminded the opposition Senator that his political allies, including Aquino, are the reason why there’s a shortage of classrooms in the country right now.

According to Cayetano, the K-12 program pushed by the Aquino administration resulted in the classroom shortage.

“Senator Drilon forgot, it’s their administration na nag pilit ng K-12 kaya nagkulang ulit yung classroom, I know because there are only two senators objected, me and Senator Trillanes,” Cayetano said.

“So don’t talk to me about classrooms because you created the classroom shortage, dapat we’re on track na maging 40-45 (students) per classroom kung hindi muna natin pinilit yung k-12,” he added.

Cayetano revealed that they’re asking for five more years before implementing the K-12 to avoid the shortage of classroom, however, the former administration still pushed it.

The lawmaker also expressed his disappointment with the criticisms received by SEA games especially from former President Aquino who’s a resident of Tarlac, saying that the “crab mentality” of the Filipinos is being shown again.

“I was expecting na sasabihin niya (Aquino) na may issues, pag-usapan natin later pero proud kaming na dito itinayo sa Tarlac,” Cayetano said.

“Akala nila SEA Games, seafood e. Kaya puro crab mentality ang inaabot natin e,” he added.

 

 

“Nakuryente?” Sen. Drilon apologizes to BCDA chief Dizon after claiming that the designer of the SEA games cauldron is the latter’s father-in-law

Senator Franklin Drilon apologized to Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) Chief Vince Dizon after he claimed on national television that National Artist Bobby Manosa is the father-in-law of the latter.

In an interview with ANC, Drilon claimed that Dizon is related to Manosa who designed the controversial P50-M Southeast Asian (SEA) games cauldron.

“I hate to do this because Bobby Manosa is a revered and respected architect, national artist, but Bobby Manosa also happens to be the father-in-law of Vince Dizon,” Drilon said.

“I’m not implying anything, except that there’s no bidding,” he added.

Drilon said that he would let the “people decide” if they’re going to think if the process to construct the cauldron is inappropriate or not.

“The point is, the father-in-law of Vince Dizon who’s in charge of the facility, the New Clark City sports facility where the P50-M kaldero was constructed, the artist of the kaldero, the designer of the kaldero for 4.4-M is his late father in law,” he said.

However, after the interview, Drilon apologized to Dizon saying that what he claimed earlier is wrong info.

“I would like to correct my statement in Headstart this morning about the relationship of the architect who built the SEA Games cauldron, the late Architect Bobby Mañosa, and BCDA Pres. Vince Dizon. They are not related. I was wrong in my information. I apologize to Dizon,” Drilon said.

Drilon is one of the politicians who questioned the spending of the government for the SEA Games.

He even called the cauldron built by the government for the SEA games as “extravagant”, saying that it could already build 50 classrooms.
