New PNP Dir. Gen. Jesus Versoza On Human Rights

The Philippine National Police (PNP) Dir. Gen. Jesus Verzosa issued a memorandum today to warned all 125,000 police force to avoid presentation of suspects to media. He called it “firing squad presentation”. According to the memorandum, violators will be meted with administrative sanctions.

The memorandum answered the request of Human Rights Commission to stop presenting a suspect before the media since it constitutes a violation of the person’s constitutional rights.

Its a common scene in TV news, suspects are wearing prison shirt when presented to media. When it was started, I didn’t recall.

Lobo, Almost Blood And Chocolate… Coincidence?

I was resting and watched Star movies, just in time because the movie have had started. It was titled “Blood and Chocolate”, its about clan of werewolves in Romania. The movie was released in US in January 26, 2007 and wasn’t shown here. You could check on the plot here but I suggest to buy a DVD/VCD in the nearest mall. It may be on sale because it wasn’t released here or check the schedules of Star Movies.

My sister came and watched with me, I have nothing against the movie but my sister also noticed the similarity of the movie to ABS CBN’s fantaserye Lobo (filipino word of wolf) starring Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual except Lobo in my opinion is a lot better with many twists. We did watched the teleserye every night and amazed with the “unique story”.
