GMA International joins PHL Independence Day celebration in NY


The Philippine Independence Day Council, Inc. (PIDCI) partners with GMA International to further enrich the parade, street fair, and cultural festival in New York that is the Philippine Independence Day Celebration, through the presence of top Kapuso primetime artists Tom Rodriguez and Heart Evangelista.
 
The Philippine Independence Day Celebration showcases the best authentic Philippine cuisine, customs, and products. It draws crowds of around 100,000 Filipinos and Filipino-Americans coming from the Greater New York area and the Northeast region. Mainstream Americans are expected to attend the event on June 1, 2014 at 38th Street to 23rd Street on Madison Avenue.
 
The event is spearheaded by the PIDCI, which is a non-profit organization responsible for conceiving the biggest Philippine Independence Day celebration outside the Philippines. Prior to Philippine Independence Day, PIDCI supervises affairs such as galas, pageants, and balls leading to the festival.
 
GMA International, the business unit that manages the operation and distribution of GMA Network’s international channels – GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV, and GMA News TV International – is all set to make the Philippine Independence Day Celebration even more memorable by a performance from Tom and Heart that will leave their fans overseas swooning. Attendees will also have the rare opportunity to take pictures and have a “Heart-to-Heart with Tom and Heart” in the GMA booth.
 
Tom has left a lasting impression on Filipinos in the Philippines and abroad with his stellar portrayal of the controversial character “Vincent” in “My Husband’s Lover”. Heart, on the other hand, has never left the limelight and currently serves as a host in Sunday noontime variety show “Sunday All Stars” and talk show “Startalk”.
 
The Philippine Independence Day Celebration will start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 6:00 p.m. Admission is free so all interested parties near the area can join the festivities.

Hinikayat din nito ang mga nanay at tatay na sumali sa malayang usapan, lalo na sa mga usapin ukol sa sex at sekswalidad, na nakikitang makakatulong upang bumaba ang mga bilang ng mga pagbubuntis sa hanay ng mga kabataan.

Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country.

Gaza war rages into fourth month as Blinken tours Middle East Adel Zaanoun with Ilan Ben Zion in Jerusalem, --- Agence France-Presse

The Israel-Hamas war raging in Gaza entered its fourth month on Sunday as the army again pounded the besieged Palestinian territory and US top diplomat Antony Blinken was back in the region seeking to avoid a wider escalation.

It said two journalists were killed when their car was struck. The ministry, medics, and witnesses identified them as Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for Agence France-Presse, and Hamza Wael Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera's bureau chief in Gaza who earlier lost his wife and two other children in an Israeli strike. Israeli bombardment also claimed other civilian lives in the southern city of Khan Yunis and in the Rafah area near the Egyptian border, where many of the territory's displaced people have sought refuge, AFP correspondents reported. Relatives were mourning the dead at Khan Yunis' European Hospital, am
