Just like their characters Gabriel and Via in the hit primetime soap Mula sa Puso, JM de Guzman and Lauren Young seem to be getting closer to each other. "The two are said to be spending time a lot off-cam and would even fool around the set teasing and tickling each other. JM would reportedly put his chair right beside Lauren's whenever they are on standby inside the tent. "The dramatic actor doesn't deny this but clarifies that he did it so that he will get closer to Lauren who is his loveteam in the show. "We really need to establish a bond off-screen so that, the moment we are in front of the cameras, we are already comfortable with each other and do better with our scenes specially the kilig ones," explained JM. "This is the first time the two worked with each other and Lauren admitted that she didn't really have a hard time working on their chemistry. "JM is very easy to get along with so we became close really fast. I can say we are now r

1. BE AMBITIOUS. Umaasa tayo lagi sa tulong. Kahit anong hirap mo, you have to be ambitious. Being ambitious is not negative. 2. HAVE THE RIGHT WORK ETHIC. Bawal ang tamad. Lalong bawal ang tanga. Manage by objective. Instead of a quick fix or instant gratification, practice delayed gratification. We should go for meritocracy. Hindi palakasan. 3. LEARN A SKILL. Poverty is an absence of choice. That's why you have to continue learning. You have to learn a skill. I never tell people "good luck". I always tell them "good skill". Be creative. Nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa. God gave you skills. God will not help you if you don't help yourself. 4. WORK, SAVE, INVEST AND PROSPER. You have to work. Address your needs but always save. Get into a business. Get life insurance or a personal accident insurance kung 'yun lang ang kaya mo. We need a provident fund especially for our OFWs. We have 11 million Filipinos abroad. You put them and our people here in

This morning, Merceditas Gutierrez personally submitted to me her resignation as our country’s Ombudsman, effective May 6. Her action has spared the country from a long and divisive impeachment process that would have distracted our lawmakers from dealing with the many problems we face today. It also paves the way for the appointment of a new Ombudsman. I thank the House of Representatives. I now urge the Judicial and Bar Council to begin the search for a new Ombudsman. With the support of the public, we can now proceed more decisively in making government officials more accountable to their bosses, the Filipino people. Thank you.
