    Lord, ipinagdarasal ko ang mga nalulungkotngayong Bagong Taon... maging yung mga may hinaharap na

    kabiguan... pati rin yung mga nasira ang mga pangarap o

    kayay nawalan ng mahal sa buhay. Ibigay Niyo sa kanila ang

    Inyong kapayapaan. Ipaalam Niyo sa kanilang hindi sila dap-

    at mawalan ng pag-asa. Iparamdam Mo sa kanila ang

    bagong kinabukasan na dala ng Bagong Taon

    SENYOR NASARENODINAMPIAN ng kamay ng isang

    nagsusumamong deboto ang mga

    daliri ng imahe ng Itim naNasareno ng Simbahan ngQuiapo. Sa Enero 9 ang piyesta ngQuiapo kung saan gugunitain ang

    traslacion ng antigong imahe.

    Mas malinis, mas mabilisna anim hanggang walong mi-lyong deboto ang makikiisa sa

    prusisyon mula Rizal Park hang-gang sa santwaryo ng imahe saQuiapo sa Enero 9.

    At hindi tulad noong isangtaon, sinabi ng pulisya na

    walang bantang imminent orspecific sa pagdiriwang nga-yong taon, na tinuturing na isasa pinakanakamamanghang ka-ganapang panrelihiyon sa

    bansa.The andas has been re-

    designed by a committee andthis was tested during Good Fri-day. It runs more smoothly andis faster, ani Ignacio sa isangpress conference.

    Dinadagsa ang prusisyon ngSenyor Nasareno ng milyun-mi-lyong debotong nakayapak, ha-los lahat mga lalaki, na hindialintana ang siksikan at balya-

    han mahawakan lang ang ima-he o ang lubid ng andas nito.

    Sinabi ni Fr. Ricardo ValenciaJr., kasapi ng organizing commit-tee, na natuto na ang pangkatniya mula sa aral ng isang taon,nang nasira ang mga gulong ngandas ilang oras mula nangnagsimula ang prusisyon.

    Kaya inabot ng 22 oras angprusisyon, isa sa pinakamahabasa kasaysayan ng pagdiriwang.

    Ni Philip C. Tubeza

    UPANG hindi na maulit ang naganap noongisang taon na inabot nang 22 oras bago nata-pos ang prusisyon, binago ang disenyo ng an-

    das na pagsasakyan ng imahe ng Senyor Nasareno ngQuiapo upang maging mas mabilis at maayos ang pag-usad nito sa gitna ng laksa-laksang mga deboto, sinabing mga opisyal noong Huwebes.

    SHOWBUZZ FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 20134ROMEL M. LALATA, Editor

    Talaga langMga pagninilay sa MMFF 2012Marami nang nagsalita

    tungkol sa kabalintunaan ngMMFF, sa kabila ng 38 taon ni-tong pagpapalabas ng peliku-lang Pilipino. Na sa pangkala-hatan, hindi ito naiangat angsining.

    Sa tingin ko lahat ng nanalong parangal ay deserving namakakuha ng parangal, at one

    point or another. Not necessarilysa MMFF film na ginawa nila.So, congrats pa rin sa mgananalo dahil pinagtrabahuhannila yan. Ang isyuay yong pagbigigayng awards mismo.

    Buti sana kungmay Jury Prize or

    Audience Award.Ibigay ang Audi-ence Award sa top-grosser. Pero ang

    Jury Prize ay ma-halaga lang kungang Jurors ay mgakapita-pitagangkasapi ng indus-triya, at hindi mulasa mga mayor nglungsod.

    Hindi isyu kung ang OneMore Tryay pagsasa-Pilipino ngisang orihinal na Japanese film.Sa Korea, madalas din silangmag-adapt ng foreign or Holly-

    wood film into Korean versions.Pero hindi nila ito nilalaban sa

    mga festival. Ang isyu ay angtanghalin ang One More Try bi-lang Best Picture, laban sa ThyWomb.

    Pero wala na ta-yong magagawa. Ka-hanay na ng One

    More Tryang Kisap-mata (1981), Hi-mala (1982), Imor-tal (1989) at Enteng

    Kabisote 3: Okay ka,Fairy Ko: The Legend

    Goes on and on andon (2006.)

    Sa MMFF 2012din kinilala ang pe-likulang mas nagpa-pahalaga sa estadong pangulo kaysa saSupremo na nag-

    taguyod ng rebolusyon laban samga Kastila.

    Ayon sa pelikulang ito, isangmagaling na action star siMiong, at wala siyang kinala-

    man sa assasination ni Bonifa-cio. Tatanggapin ko sana namula sa punto de bista ni

    Aguinaldo ang pelikulang ElPresidente kung: 1. Malinaw nasi Aguinaldo ang nagkukwentong kaganapan at 2. Hindi nakailangang bahiran pa angkabayanihan ni Gat Andres.May dahilan kung bakit Nation-al Holiday ang Bonifacio Day, at

    walang holiday ang mga presi-dente lang. Pero 2nd Best Pic-

    ture.Kung wala ang Thy Womb,ang The Strangers ni Law Fajar-do na ang may pinakamalinawna konsepto, tono at pagsasadu-la (maliban lang sa balbas ngkarakter ni Enchong Dee.) PeroSisterakas ang 3rd Best Picture.

    Dapat huwag na langseryosohin ang awards night.Tutal, hindi naman tunay nafilm festival ang MMFF. Bastapatuloy na tangkilikin ang pe-likulang Pilipino, happy na tayo

    diyan.

    Ni Vives Anunciacion

    SA isang tradisyunal na film festival, maaaringThy Womb (Sa Iyong Sinapupunan) ni BrillianteMendoza ang nanalo ng Best Picture. Sa karani-

    wang film festival, walang 2nd o 3rd Best Picture.Kadalasan sa mga film festival, hindi hinihiwalay angIndie sa Mainstream. Sa totoong film festival, walangBest Float.

    Dapat huwagna lang

    seryosohinang awards

    night. Tutal,hindi namantunay na film

    festival angMMFF.

    ONE More Try ang Best Picture.

    THY Womb

    EL Presidente

    Quotable quotes from 2012By Dolly Anne Carvajal

    VILMA SANTOS: Age doesntmatter. Whats important is

    what you have done in yourlife that has positive effects on

    your family as you grow oldgracefully.

    NORA AUNOR: I misssinging. My biggest birthday

    wish is to do a concert andrecord an album. I owe that tomy fans. As for my comebackin show biz, Ive learned to bemore cautious of people. Inthe past, I trusted too manypeople easily. Now I wouldlike to keep some space formyself and not let everybodyin.

    AGA MUHLACH (on hisforay into politics): Its myturn to give something back tothe people who put me whereI am now. I worked very hard

    for 28 years in show biz tobuild my name. I wont let itall go to waste.

    DEREK RAMSAY: When Imin love, Im a one-womanman. Actually, late bloomerako. I had my first girlfriendat 18. It can get lonely beingalone but my passion forsports keeps me occupied. I

    dont think being single makesme more bankable as an actorbecause even when Im in arelationship, I keep my workseparate. I make sure to al-

    ways deliver as an actor.COCO MARTIN: When I

    was an OFW in Canada, I wasvery lonely and homesick; Imissed my family. Thats whyOFWs are close to my heart.When I perform for themabroad, I always tell them thatI understand their plight andthat I salute them.

    ripe for the picking in the finalquarter, breaking free in the finaleight minutes to wrap up theirbest-of-seven Final Four series atMall of Asia Arena at 4-2.

    We had a very simple gameplan, and that was to keep run-ning the whole game and keep thepace fast, coach Yeng Guiao said.We wanted them to keep chasingus because I felt that after one orone-and-a-half quarters, they weregoing to tire out.

    Jeff Chan scored 27 points and

    Paul Lee hit 15 as the duo snappedout of their slump to lead the
