DEAR Emily, Ako ay napilitang mag-asawanoong isang taon dahil nadis-

grasya ko ang isang textmateko nang mag-date kami nangilang beses.

Kinuha niya angnumero ng cell ko saisa naming kaibiganat sa simula pa lang,puro na siya text atmagyayang lumabas.

 Ako ay 22 years oldat high school langang natapos ko.

 Ang text mate koay 24 at sales girl saisang mall. Nangmalaman niyang bun-tis na siya, pumuntaang mga kapatidniyang lalaki sa aminat sinabing mag-pakalalaki ako.

Pati magulang koay pinilit na rin akongmagpakasal. Angnangyari, nakunansiya noong kasal na

kami at hindi ko na

mabago angtakbo ngbuhay ko. Hindi konaman siya mahal orgusto man lang.

Matapang siya,maingay, at mahiligmag-shopping.Nakatira kami sa isaniyang kamag-anak.

 Assistant lang akongmagkumpuni ng sap-atos at hindi malakiang aking kita.

 Ang gusto ko tala-ga ay isang kapitba-hay namin na mabait,maganda ang traba-ho, at tahimik lang.

SHOWBUZZ TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 20134

ROMEL M. LALATA, Editor 

Thankful for beinga superwoman’s daughter 

Thanks more than words cansay to my INQUIRER  family forstanding by me through all thecontroversies … to my Cinema

Evaluation Board family and TV 5 Ang Latest family for being

behind me no matter what … tomy loyal readers for their unwa-

 vering support … to celebritiesfor trusting me with their sto-

ries, and to my kids, Bianchiand IC, who are my major

source of inspiration.How I wish my mom were

still around so I could dedicatemy award to her personally.Thank you, Ma, for teaching me

 well. And thank You, Lord, forhelping me find the right wordsamid the show biz circus whereit’s often hard to tell what’s realand what’s not.

I remember my Ma used totell me that show biz could beso cruel and ungrateful. Butmoments like my Hall of Fame

 win make me glad that I grewup in this maddening, wonder-ful industry.

 Allow me to pay homage tomy late great mom, who paved

the way for me and so many other entertainment writers/TV hosts. Even now that she’sgone, people who recognize me

 wherever I go usually say “Uy! Anak ni Inday, o!” I can’t helpsmiling every time I hear that.

It only goes to show that my mom left a permanent dent inpeople’s hearts.

Inday Badiday tipsHere are some “Inday Badi-

dayisms” from my superwoM-

OM. Till our next Eye to Eyemoment. Saranghamnida, Ma!

• Don’t keep track of what your competitors are up to. If  you keep looking their way,they will overtake you before

 you know it. Just focus on yourown path and do what you dobest.

•When a job is offered to you, you don’t have to be anexpert at it right away. Be will-ing to learn on the job. As longas you are interested, every-thing else will follow.

• At first you have to work more and be paid less. But if 

 you love what you do, one day  you’ll get to the point where you’ll be working less and mak-ing more.

•Look at how a guy treatshis mom. That’s how he willtreat you eventually.

• When you are trying tofind out who’s telling thetruth … the one who says less

and doesn’t beat around the

bush is the one to believe.

• Lahat ng g usot, may lusot(There’s a way out of every mess)!

•Even if some people youhelped duped you, don’tmind it. Your help didn’t go to

 waste as long as you see theirkids/families are okay.

•Don’t believe everythingthe stars say. Always try to digdeeper.

• When you are upset with someone, ask yourself  why it should matter. You won’t spend the rest of yourlife with that person anyway.

• Be wary of people youdon’t know … but be evenmore wary of people you knowtoo well.

•Make sure that when youdecide to end a relationship,

 you still have your self-respectintact. Don’t wait for when youare already devastated before

 you call it quits.

• What you do to your

parents … your kids will do to you too someday.

•Even the falling of a leaf has a reason.

• Be thankful … for eventhe smallest of blessings.

•Don’t cry over a guy … who’s not crying over you.

•Go with the winners.

•It’s the little people youmeet along the way … that

 will make the biggest differencein your life.

NCCA confers Dangal ng Anihonor to Nora Aunor IT was just like a scenestraight from Himala.

 After Superstar Nora Aunor was conferred with the presti-gious National Commission forCulture and the Arts (NCCA)Dangal ng Ani Awards for Cin-

ema, the CCP ushers and fans who saw the Superstar limp-ing as she was leaving, sur-prised her by lifting and carry-ing her to her van. Everybody 

 was visibly amused andthought it was a reenactmentof the final scene of Himala,Nora’s classic movie which

 won the CNN Asia PacificScreen Awards' Best Asia Pa-cific Film of All Time in 2009.

The Superstar deserves theDangal ng Ani for winningtwo international Best Actress

awards during the 6th AsiaPaficic Awards at Brisbane

NOW is the best time to go jobhunting in the Philippines be-cause most local companies

are planning to expand their businessesthis year, according to JobStreet.com.

In a survey cover-ing 440 companies,the Internet job siterevealed that 52 per-cent of the country’sfirms plan to expandas early as this quarter.

Survey resultsshowed that the bulk of job vacancies werefor sales executives,but every segment

 would benefit fromthe companies’ expan-sion, said Job-Street.com.

For example, it ex-plained, a surge innew hires for sales

departments will haveto be balanced by asimilar strengtheningof marketing depart-ments.

“There are alsomanufacturing firmsthat have transferredback from China, andforeign investors com-ing to the Philippines,”JobStreet.com said.“With this, job search

should be easier in thefirst quarter of 2013.”The company said

engineers and ac-countants should alsobe more optimistic of landing jobs this year.

 Also, junior profes-sionals would find iteasy to look for work as JobStreet.com said57 percent of survey respondents said they 

 would be hiring peo-

ple with less than fouryears of work experi-ence, while 24 per-cent said they werelooking for supervi-sors and specialists.

“Competition re-mains high for topmanagement posi-tions, such as presi-dent and chief execu-tive, since only asmall sliver—1.6 per-cent—opened theirhiring doors for thisquarter,” Job-Street.com added.

Based on the totalnumber of postings at

pany’s data, there are170,500 unique jobsavailable for local jobseekers.

 At an average of three vacancies forevery such job, thismeans there are

about 511,500 job va-cancies in Job-Street.com partner-companies alone.

“With these num-bers at hand, the grad-uating batch shouldnot be scared thatthere’s no place forthem in the corporate

 world,” the company said in a statement.

Patok 

TALAGANG patok na patok kumbaga sa pelikula ang gi-nawa ni Renaldo Balkman, im-port ng Petron Blaze noong Biy-ernes ng gabi kontra sa AlaskaMilk.

Kinompronta ni Balkman angisa sa tatlong refs , ipinagtu-lakan ang bawat teammate niya

na gustong umawat at sinakal si Arwind Santos.

 Ang lahat ng ginawa ni Balk-man ay beamed live sa telebisy-on at nakita ng milyon-milyongPBA fans .

Nitong Linggo, sa press roominterview matapos na magwagiang Air 21 sa Global Port 106-94natanong si Coach Franz Pumarentungkol sa Balkman issue.

Well, lumabas ang galingmag-kuwento ni Coach Franz.

Una sinabi niya na hindi na

bago na nagkakaroon talaga ng

awayan ang teammates at mag-ing ang coach, pero first timedaw ang katulad ng kay Balk-man na nakita ng buong mad-lang PBA fans.

Nai-kuwento nga niya noongplayer pa siya ng San MiguelBeer at mentor niya si Talk n’Text coach Norman Black taong1988, nagkaroon sila ng Importsa katauhan ni Derrick Chievousfirst round draft pick ng Hous-ton Rockets na kalaunan ay lumabas ang ugaling ’Mis-

chievous”. Ayon kay Coach Franz maga-

ling si Chievous pero may pag-ka-head case, kaya dumatingang pagkakataon na pati sicoach Black ay nasagad na sakanya.

SA loob ng dug out nagka-hamunan sina Black at

Chievous.Sinabi ni Pumaren na um-

abot sila sa finals pero hindi na-sungkit ang championships.Pero siguro kung hindi pina-uwisi Chievous sila ang nag-kampe-on.

Nabanggit din ni CoachFranz ang isang insidente al-though hindi niya kinumpir-mang tutuo nang bugbugin siShell Rimula Helix import Dex-ter Shouse ng kanyang team-

mates sa loob ng dugout.

Balkman tsugikasangga sa Petron.“He (Salud) basically said

I’m the leader and role a modelof kids, (and) that’s what really hurts the most,” sabi ni Balk-man. “In everybody’s eyes I’mthe villain, (but) I’m not thattype of guy.”

Nag-desisyon si Saluddalawang oras mataposumalis si Balkman at ang ko-

ponan sa opisina ng liga sa Li-bis, Quezon City.

“But like I said, that’s un-intentional. It was done inthe heat of the moment. They (teammates) know that I play 

 wit h a pas sio n for the gam e,”dagdag ni Balkman. “SinceDay 1 I said (that) this(team) is my family, that’s

 wha t I fee l.“I treat my guys (teammates)

like my brothers. I’m willing to

make it up, do whatever toshow that I’m not that kind of guy. Whatever happens, if I’mhere I’ll still be part of theteam. I am a member of PetronBlaze right now that is the greatthing about it.”

Matapos ang insidente nanangyari sa huling segundo nglaro laban sa Alaska ay nagbatisina Balkman at ang mga Boost-ers sa Petron dugout.

Ngunit iba ang pananaw ditong PBA Commissioner’s office.

Ni Musong R. Castillo

N ANGAKO si Renaldo Balkman na magbabago.Ngunit sa ibang bansa na at hindi sa PBA makikita ang bagong Balkman.

Tsinugi ni Philippine Basket-ball Association commissionerChito Salud kahapon ang maga-ling ngunit tila bulkan nag-babadyang sumabog na Petron

Blaze import.Hindi na makalalaro ang

beterano ng NBA sa liga napinagmulta rin ng P250,000matapos ang insidente noongnakaraang Miyerkules kontra

 Alaska Aces.Hindi lang mga reperi ang

nakatikim ng galit ni Balkmankundi ang coaching staff ngPetron at ang kanyang mgakasangga na nag-resulta sapagsakal ng import kay Arwind

Santos.Dumating si Balkmankasama ang buong koponan ngPetron na nagpakita ng suportasa beterano ng New York Knicksat Denver Nuggets.

May 5-2 marka ang Boosterssa pangunguna ni Balkman saCommissioner’s Cup.

Ngunit hindi nakaligtas kay Salud ang nakaraan ni Balkmankabilang rito ang headbuttingda Fiba-Americas na kung saanay lumaro ang import sa Puerto

Rico at sa Sinulog Cup laban sa Alaska.

“I also took into considera-tion Balkman’s evident disre-gard for local and the host

country’s sensibilities highlight-ed by his choking act on-court,in full public view, of his ownteammate,” pahayag ni Salud.

“Stiff as it may be, this de-cision upholds the tenets of contextual accountability andthe overall interest of theleague and its fans,” dagdagni Salud.

Sinabi ni Robert Non, chair-man ng liga at hepe ng basket-ball operations ng San Miguel

Group na hindi pa silanakatatangap ng opisyal kopyang desisyon ni Salud.

Noong Linggo ay sinabi niNon na bibigyan nila ngikalawang pagkakataon at hindipapalitan si Balkman.

Sasagupain ng Boosters angRain or Shine ngayong Sabadosa Panabo, Davao del Sur.

Humarap si Balkman samidya matapos ang miting saopisina ni Salud. Kasama niBalkman ang kanyang mga

SAKALNANGYARI ang hindi inaasahang mangyari matapos sakalin ni PetronBlaze import Renaldo Balkman ang kasanggang si Arwind Santos saPBA. Nawala sa wisyo si Balkman sa huling bahagi ng laro ng Boosterslaban sa Alaska na napanalunan ng Aces. PBA.INQUIRER.NET/NUKI SABIO

SMC maaaring layasan PBA HUMINGI ng paumanhin angSan Miguel Corporation sa PBA at mga tagasubaybay. Tinang-gap din ng San Miguel ang de-sisyon ng liga na patawan ng

‘‘lifetime ban” si Petron Blazeimport Renaldo Balkman.

Ngunit hindi rin inaalis ngSMC na pag-aralan kung magpap-atuloy pa ito sa pagsali sa liga.May tatlong koponan (Petron,San Mig Coffee Mixers, Barangay Ginebra Kings) at San Miguel saliga. Kilala ang Ginebra bilangpinaka-sikat koponan sa liga.

‘‘We do not condone his ac-tions. The mandate of our bas-ketball operations has always

been to entertain basketballfans and foster camaraderie anda spirit of healthy competition.We pride ourselves in havinggreat teams who serve as goodrole models to the youth andcommunity,” pahayag ng SMC.

‘‘As such, given the possiblelong-term effect of this incidentto the San Miguel organization’simage, and in consideration of our need to preserve our goodreputation, Management hasdecided to re-evaluate the com-

pany’s continuing participationin the PBA.”

 Ayon sa San Miguel,masyadong pinalaki ang insid-ente na sumira sa magandang

pangalan ng organisasyon. Ku-malat rin ang balita sa buongmundo dahil sa online attradisyunal midya.

‘‘Our reputation is of utmostimportance to us because wehave worked hard to cultivatethis good name through thedecades. But it takes only oneunfortunate incident like this toundo all our efforts.”

Diniin ng manedsment napatuloy susuportahan ng SMC

ang isports at ang mga atletangPinoy sa loob at labas ng PBA.‘‘Moving forward, we believe

sports is a pillar of Philippinesociety and we will continue tosupport it and Filipino athletesin general in meaningful waysin and out of the PBA.’’

San Miguel ang tanging ko-ponan na orihinal miyembro ngPBA ng itatag ito noong 1975.PBA ang tinagurian kauna-una-hang play-for-pay basketballleague sa Asya.
