PLUS OR MINUS

Cybercrime Law
President Aquino has signed into law a bill that seeks to penalize cybercrimes including online defamation. Approved by the President last September 12, the measure is formally known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. Or as Tito Sotto would call it, ”Nice!”

Senatorial Survey
According to Pulse Asia, if the midterm elections were held today, Loren Legarda would top the senatorial race. She was followed by Chiz Escudero in second. In 7th place was Gringo Honasan who was followed by Koko Pimentel who was followed by Migz Zubiri who was followed by never-ending cheating allegations.

In the latest Pulse Asia survey, TESDA Director General Joel Villanueva was in 24th to 32nd spot. The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 billboards.

Pulse Asia’s latest survey showed journalist Ramon Tulfo was in 17th to 23rd position. While Claudine Barretto was in an awkward position.

Former Las Piñas Representative Cynthia Villar has also entered the winning column. Hanep na ang buhay!

A Pulse Asia survey showed that Congressman Sonny Angara would win in next year’s election. The same survey showed that Congresswoman Mitos Magsaysay should drop her senatorial ambition.

Satisfied
The latest SWS survey showed 82 percent of Filipinos were satisfied with the performance of Vice President Jejomar Binay. The rest were loyal radio listeners of Korina Sanchez.

Abusive Amo?
Couple Anna Liza and Reynaldo Marzan who were accused of maltreating their household help entered a plea of “not guilty.” To which, their flat iron said, “Wehh?”

Idol Season 12
American Idol has announced the set of judges for Season 12. The lucky picks were Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Randy Jackson. Sorry Antonio Carpio, you’ve been snubbed… again!

Nicki Minaj, the youngest among the judges was a controversial choice. Reacting to criticisms, Minaj explained that her selection was God’s will and not because of politics.

UP Fight
The UP Fighting Maroons men’s basketball team won only once this season. Apparently, the Maroons thought that getting an uno was the target.

~Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago
