Nida Blanca-The Long Unresolved Story

“November 7, 2001- The actress Nida Blanca (Dorothy Jones) was found dead inside a vehicle, bruised and beaten up at Atlanta Center Condominium Building Annapolis St. Greenhills San Juan. In 2001, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) pointed to Strunk as the brains behind the killing, based on the testimony submitted by self-confessed assassin Philip Medel. The suspect later retracted his statement, claiming that he was tortured by the police to claim responsibility for the crime and to point at Strunk as the mastermind.”
2007… Nida Blanca’s husband Roger “Rod” Strunk allegedly committed suicide and died as he leaped to his death from the balcony of Tracy Inn.
Coincidence? Nida’s body was found blood-drenched in a parking lot, Rod Strunk’s body was found in a parking lot as well, so both their life ended in a parking lot and emersed to be very tragic. The two deaths still left so many questions unanswered.
One question though…what could have led him to commit suicide?Loneliness-he has no family and just volunteered to work. Or would it be because he was indeed guilty of murdering his own wife?
From here no justice could still be found…if he was indeed the culprit, killing himself is no justice at all but a way to free him from all the scrutiny and charges. But would he still be free from the flaming gates of hell?
Through all these we can’t help but await one voice…Kaye Torres’ Statement…Nida being in heaven would have been very proud of her daughter as she continues to radiate dignity…
And her heartfelt statement:
“I offer my deepest condolences to Rod’s sister, Sharry, and his two kids, Christine and Derke."
“It’s very tragic that Rod’s life had to end this way… whatever his faults and shortcoming may have been, I have never wished this kind of misfortune or tragedy on him.”
“I feel that the case should not end with the death of Rod Strunk; especially since his innocence or guilt has never been proven. Rod may have avoided extradition here, but now he will have to face a much higher court.”
“As my mother’s murder case continues to remain unsolved, one vital case to the solution of the case is gone…Rod’s death only makes it more impossible for those answers to be obtained,"
“The authorities should continue the pursuit, investigation and ultimate arrest of those suspects still at large,"
Let us continue to hope and pray that justice for the death of Nida Blanca would prevail…6 long years had passed…wherever she is, we continually pray that she finds the light and peace she deserves …and may the loved-ones she left find the same peace and light into this long unresolved story…

PBB Season 2-A Cinderella Story

Pinoy Big Brother…what can I say... Its Wendy’s show…everywhere you go, when you speak of big brother season 2, people just can’t help but comment against Wendy. I’m not a Wendy fan and I as well totally disapprove of how she acted in the house towards Gee-Ann and Bea. Everyone had their own opinions may it be pro or against her, I’d leave it all to them… Let me share mine…despite the meanness, bullying, trash talking, and unfounded accusations the same old saying still prevails “ang api nagwawagi pa rin sa huli” And indeed despite Wendy’s bitchy attitude, Bea emerged as the Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 Winner.
PBB itself, mirrors how Filipinos still believed in the same old notion that makes telenovelas click and their lead turn to superstars in the long run like Juday. I totally agree “ PBB is drama ng totoong buhay-no drama without kontrabida and the kontrabida always makes the bida well-loved by the masses and the viewers. And to quote: “ The Big Winner will represent what kind of ordinary Filipino we look up to and what kind of actions we socially accept. The Big Winner will represent the kind of people who we see ourselves to be. The Big Winner would be another huwaran ng mga Pilipino.”
One thing positive here would be the continuous hope that “life would be better for us in the long run and we would rise triumphantly over poverty. PBB Season 2 ends and it leaves us one message: “let’s all keep the fire burning- hope and strive for a better life and never stop even though they say Filipinos had always been “isang kahig isang tuka”. As they say “libre mangarap” lets all try and make an effort and persevere into turning all those “pangarap” into reality.

Awesome Transformers!

I’m not really so familiar with the animated series when I was a kid and since I’m a gurl, it didn’t catch my attention. I just knew transformers then as a “boy’s thing”. And then at the break of new year, on a light conversation a friend told me that he is so looking forward to watching “transformers the movie”. But then I said “Hmm…I’d rather look forward to spidey and harry flicks this year…” Not until last Saturday, I proved myself totally wrong! And I’m telling you…all throughout the movie I stared with awe! Aside from the movie being action packed, combined with awesome cinematography, great effects and sounds-the story line itself was really wonderful! It’s a tale of both heroism, friendship, courage, bravery, and a lot more! The movie also depicted the “revenge of the nerd” syndrome but more so values that are heart-warming.
Meagan Fox in the movie was really hot! She really had gone a long way. And Shia Labeouf was absolutely cute here! And of course who wouldn’t be charmed with Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee!!!My ultimate favorites! (I find them so cute that I’m actually planning to buy Jolly kids meal to have them) it was just unfortunate that bumblebee did not appear in his original look-as a Volkswagen but I don’t mind it, he is still so adorable! Remember how he plays music that’s perfect for every incident “baby come back…” wowee!
Truly, Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are GENIUSES! And this movie would always leave its mark throughout generations! I love TRANSFORMERS! They absolutely rock!!! Astig!!!
