Can a small-town boy stop the abuse of big-time funds?
Driven by a monster typhoon’s destruction of his native Marinduque’s coconut lands, a local boy now working for a major TV network wages a lonely battle for justice.
GMA researcher Ederic Eder’s mother died at sea while delivering his tuition money so he could enroll at UP. That money came from the sweat of his coconut-farming family.
Now a UP-educated professional, he has been researching for years the fate of coconut levy funds that his family paid to the government. Millions of farmers paid the same levy, which was allegedly stolen and used by Marcos cronies to buy companies, including nearly half of the shares in San Miguel Corporation.
Collaborating with I-Witness reporter Howie Severino, Ederic discovers that the government may be getting set to use nearly two billion pesos from those farmers’ funds for electioneering purposes.
They confront officials with their findings and attempt to prevent a repeat of the fertilizer fund scam of 2004.
This eye-opening episode of I-Witness airs Monday late night on GMA 7, right after Saksi. (GMANews.tv)
IMDB-Michael Newman seems to have a perfect life- a beautiful wife, two small children, and a job with great potential. But as his jerky boss passes Michael up for promotion after promotion, Michael becomes fed up, and wishes he could find a way to just, oh, skip through the hard parts in life. He gets exactly that -and much, much more- when he stumbles upon the Beyond section of a Bed, Bath, and Beyond in search of a universal remote. But as it turns out, the remote controls, well, the entire universe! At first this seems a blessing, but as the remote begins to program itself Michael finds his life skipping by, sometimes a few months, sometimes years. Will he be able to get his life back before its entirely gone?
Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho is a weekly news magazine show in GMA 7 that offers several topics per episode. Last night the topics were Pawnshops, Fake Enhancers and Ketamine. Of course, ketamine is used extensively in equine and small animal surgeries so the show featured an equine vet, who surprisingly is a brod and a batchmate, Ariel!Ketamine
Just recently, PDEA busted huge amounts of this drug. Ketamine was already around in the 60’s and poses a threatening comeback. A drug strong enough to sedate a horse has once again become a party drug for junkies looking for the next high.
