Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

Villar was never a Tondo poor boy
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 00:05:00 03/13/2010
THE MARCH 7 ARTICLE ON Manny Villar’s house along Moriones Street in Tondo confirmed the belief that he was never poor, never spent his Christmas on the street and never swam in a pool of garbage. In the early 1960s, if you had a three-story house in a 60-square-meter lot in the business district of Tondo, you were considered an aristocrat.
Not too far from that Moriones house were shanties leading to the pier where children went to the nearby public schools for education. Such was not the case of Villar: he went to Holy Child Catholic School for his elementary education and to Mapua for high school. Coming from Moriones going to Mapua, Villar had to pass by three outstanding public high schools: Jose Abad Santos High School, Arellano High School and Teodora Agoncillo High School, and public schools in the latter part of the 1950s and 1960s were at their best.
But not for the Villar children. Because their father was a white-collar employee and they had a businesswoman for a mother, Manny and his siblings were able to study in the best private schools nearby. They had corned beef for breakfast (as told in Villar’s ad with Boy Abunda) and I am pretty sure suahe and other seafoods for lunch or dinner.
During the times that Villar claimed he was poor, his family actually belonged to the AB and upper C economic strata or the top 10 percent of the population. As in the C-5 controversy, in the conversion of agricultural land in Iloilo, in the landgrabbing of the Dumagats’ land in Norzagaray and his questionable use of socialized housing funds among many others, Villar shows a penchant for covering the truth.
I hope television’s investigative journalists can dig deeper into this so the poor people who are being used will find out the truth.

So, was the "si Villar and tunay na mahirap" all but a stupid make-up lie just to get an impression from the poor?
Review: My Girl and I (Korean movie)
TRAILER:
STARRING:
Cha Tae-Hyun and Song Hye-Kyo
DIRECTOR:
Jeon Yun-su
Jeon Yun-su
GENRE:
Romance
Romance
SYNOPSIS:
A simple teenager Su-ho (Cha Tae-Hyun) and the pretty and popular Su-Eun (Song Hye-Kyo) start dating. Their young love is the object of much jealousy from all the other students, but for Su-ho and Su-Eun, their love just seems splendid and eternal. Until Su-ho finds out something tragic about the girl he loves.
"My Girl and I" is the remake of the Japanese box-office hit "Crying Out Love from the Centre of the World".
REVIEW:
Plot. The plot isn't original at all since this movie is a remake from a Japanese film. But I still find the movie interesting and appealing. The scenes, especially the ending part were executed very well, as well as some of the funny scenes. 6/10.
Acting. Both Song Hye-Kyo and Cha Tae-Hyun are great actors. For me, they portrayed their roles perfectly. Their acting was set to mild though, but it suits just fine since the plot wasn't complicated to begin with. It was a good choice for not making the movie into a heavy drama (just like those TV series we love to watch). Even if it was a light drama, the ending was so tragic that even I cried the first time I watched it. 9/10.
Music. The music showed emotions too, it was perfect! 10/10.
I haven't watched the Japanese film yet but I have to say this movie was an A+. People who loves Korean and tragic love stories should try watching this one.
PERSONAL RATING: 10/10
Note: This review was based on my personal opinions.
