Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago has done it again. Her second book, “Stupid is Forevermore” has repeated the success of “Stupid is Forever” as it soared to the number one spot only a month after its release nationwide, based on data from National Book Store.
In National Book Store’s July bestsellers, “Stupid is Forevermore” ranks first on the list of bestsellers in the Philippine publication category. The data is based on the number of copies that are sold in all National Book Store branches as well as online purchases made in National Book Store’s website (nationalbookstore.com.ph).
“Stupid is Forevermore,” which is packed with more jokes and witty lines from Santiago, has already sold over 100,000 copies in just a span of six weeks, seemingly replicating the success of “Stupid is Forever.” The first “Stupid” book has now sold over 400,000 copies since December 2014, making it the fastest-selling book of the previous year, according to ABS-CBN Publishing.
ABS-CBN Publishing is also the only publishing company with three books in the top five of National Book Store’s July bestsellers list in the Philippine publication category, making its books the most read for July.
Aside from “Stupid is Forevermore,” Georgina Wilson and Solenn Heusaff’s “Besties” and MOR DJ Chacha’s “Anak ng Patola! Mas Masakit Ate Chacha” rank third and fifth, respectively.
ABS-CBN Publishing is the leading publishing company in the Philippines and is home to the country’s bestselling books. Its books and magazine titles cover lifestyle, youth, entertainment, culinary, high society, and fashion. The company also aims to be relevant in the digital era by making the digital versions of its magazines available on the App Store and Zinio.

He now has another ace up his sleeve, a cooking show, "Home Foodie", which starts airing on August 10 weekdays after "Unang Hirit" and weekends within "Balitanghali". Does he really cook? "I do, I love to cook for my wife as we don't have helpers at home," he says. "I really challenge myself kung magugustuhan ng wife ko ang luto ko."
Does his wife Yia Villania also cook? "She loves to wash the dishes. But more than cooking, I'm a real foodie, someone who really loves food, so I'm surely honored and proud to have been chosen as the host of 'Home Foodie' which has a unique format. It will run for only three minutes and you can upload it online on your cellphone. We have three top chefs from San Miguel Pure Foods Culinary Center who will alternate in dishing out recipes in each show, Llena Arcenas, Rene Ruz and RJ Garcia. They will reinvent and give new twists to usual dishes using San Miguel Pure Foods products, like bistek Tagalog with pasta and camto beef and siguedillas using Pure Foods All purpose Cream instead of the usual gata or coconut milk. It'll really help people like me na gusto talagang matutong magluto."

A cheating wife was caught on camera by husband on the act of cheating and uploads video on YouTube. After a long period of suspicious thoughts, a man finds his wife cheating on him.
He discovered the scandalous habit of his wife when he sneaked into the house and found his wife with another man. The man pulled out his camera and immediately recorded the incident. Later, the husband got revenge on his cheating wife by posting a video of her on Youtube. The video starts with an undisclosed censored out naked man leaving. Then, the husband confronted his wife concerning her cheating habits. The husbannd didn't even give his terrified wife the time to get dressed before he whipped his camera out and said: "This is going to go on the internet."
His wife quickly begged him not to do it but her disgruntled husband was not budging an inch. The angry cameraman even started yelling at her for not doing the beds enough or having enough food in the fridge, saying he should have guessed she was having an affair because of it.

You might know him as the guy who made madlang people ROLF (roll on the floor laughing) with his brand of non-sequitur humor accompanied by his famous line "rock and roll to the world." He can deliver a line straight-face, no effort needed but still very funny. But It's Showtime's "Funny One" finalist Ryan Rem Sarita has a lot more to offer.
The Novaliches-native, who started doing stand-up back in 2008, is also a tutor and a member of comedy group Comedy Manila. He also owns a Facebook page and Twitter account where his brand of comedy garners millions of hits online. Here are some of them:
Disney-Pixar's new comedy adventure “Inside Out” features a team of Emotions who helps guide 11-year-old Riley through an unsettling change in her life.
But as the story was being developed, filmmakers weren’t sure which emotions should make the cut. “Some psychologists claim there are as many as 27 Emotions,” says director Pete Docter. “We toyed with adding Pride. Or Schadenfreude, who delighted in the pain of others. But it started getting crowded in there. We ultimately settled on five.”
Filmmakers then went about defining each Emotion, assigning them a purpose in Riley’s mind, and tackling the difficult process of finding the right look for each. “The look and design of the Emotions had to remind people that they are personifications of feelings,” says Docter. “They’re not little people. They’re Emotions. They’re made of energy - they’re made up of thousands of particles, which kind of looks like energy. We wanted to capture what emotions feel like - the shapes, the colors - as well as their personalities.”
JOY (voice of Amy Poehler). Joy’s goal has always been to make sure Riley stays happy. She is lighthearted, optimistic and determined to find the fun in every situation. Joy sees challenges in Riley’s life as opportunities, and the less happy moments as hiccups on the way back to something great. As long as Riley is happy, so is Joy.
FEAR (voice of Bill Hader). Fear’s main job is to protect Riley and keep her safe. He is constantly on the lookout for potential disasters, and spends time evaluating the possible dangers, pitfalls and risk involved in Riley’s everyday activities. There are very few activities and events that Fear does not find to be dangerous and possibly fatal.
ANGER (voice of Lewis Black). Anger feels very passionately about making sure things are fair for Riley. He has a fiery spirit and tends to explode (literally) when things don’t go as planned. He is quick to overreact and has little patience for life’s imperfections.
DISGUST (voice of Mindy Kaling). Disgust is highly opinionated, extremely honest and prevents Riley from getting poisoned – both physically and socially. She keeps a careful eye on the people, places and things that Riley comes into contact with – whether that’s broccoli or last year’s fashion trend. Disgust always has the best of intentions and refuses to lower her standards.
SADNESS (voice of Phyllis Smith). None of the other Emotions really understand what Sadness’s role is. Sadness would love to be more optimistic and helpful in keeping Riley happy, but she finds it so hard to be positive. Sometimes it seems like the best thing to do is just lie on the floor and have a good cry.
“All of the Emotions are the most cartoony, most stylized characters that we’ve ever attempted in a feature film here at Pixar,” says supervising animator Victor Navone. “They are the kind of characters that might actually be easier to draw on paper - but they’re really hard to do in three dimensions. These characters are so special, so unique - we just wanted to hit a home run.”
Opening across the Philippines on August 19, “Inside Out” is distributed by The Walt Disney Company – Studio Entertainment through Columbia Pictures.

The Fantastic Four stories are about characters who did not have to wear masks, and who sometimes clashed with each other. The comics were set in the real world so readers could identify even more with the Four. The reason the comic has endured so many years is because of its familial dynamics. Such essence was what director Josh Trank and producer/screenwriter took from the original books, along with the elemental fun, adventure and optimism.
In this year’s “Fantastic Four,” pioneering filmmakers director Josh Trank and scribe/producer Simon Kinberg contemporize the re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team that centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Set in contemporary New York, this retelling focuses on the Four before they become a team – when they were four young idealistic adventurers who make a headstrong leap into the unknown.
The new “Fantastic Four” stars Miles Teller (“Whiplash”) as Reed Richards, Michael B. Jordan (“Fruitvale Station,” “Chronicle”) as Johnny Storm, Kate Mara (Netflix’s “House of Cards”) as Sue Storm, and Jamie Bell (“Billy Elliot,” AMC’s “Turn”) as Ben Grimm. The film also stars Toby Kebbell (“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”) as Victor von Doom, a brilliant but rebellious computer programmer and Baxter Institute student; Reg E. Cathey (“House of Cards,” “The Wire”) as Dr. Franklin Storm, Johnny and Sue’s father; and Tim Blake Nelson (“O Brother, Where Art Thou?”) as an unscrupulous Baxter Institute board member.
Director Trank (“Chronicle”) is part of a generation that grew up with comic books and comic book movie adaptations that possessed an intriguingly dark tone, which would also inspire his concept for a new “Fantastic Four.” He entered the project with one key mandate: “It starts with the movie I really want to see as a fan,” he says. First, he wanted to show the origins of the Four in their younger years before they become a team. Equally important, he strove to make its tone realistic, emotional and relatable.
Trank placed the story and the characters in a world marked by diversity, reflecting our world today. The story takes place before the team becomes celebrated around the world.. They don’t wear spandex uniforms, and they have yet to adopt their familiar monikers of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Human Torch and The Thing.
With Trank on board, 20th Century Fox asked Simon Kinberg to write and produce. Having produced “X-Men: First Class” in 2010 and written and produced “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” who has also written the highly phenomenal “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the lifelong comic book fan was the ideal person to work with Trank on “Fantastic Four.”
Trank adds that that one thing he always loved about The Fantastic Four is that they were never really superheroes. “They were explorers and adventurers,” he notes. “They were always going places, running into danger on other planets or other dimensions. A lot of their struggles are very much symbolic of the normal struggles that any young person goes through. If there’s a core message to FANTASTIC FOUR, it’s about going through things together, getting through everything life can throw at you, and ending up on the other end without quitting on each other.”
It’s clobbering time! “Fantastic Four” opens this August 5 nationwide in the Philippines from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
The sins of the past is a couple’s present nightmare in the psychological thriller “The Gift” starring Joel Edgerton which he also wrote and directed along with Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall. “The Gift” is produced by award-winning and blockbuster makers Rebecca Yeldham and Jason Blum who are also behind the worldwide success of films such as “The Kite Runner,” “Whiplash,” “Paranormal Activity,” “The Purge,” “Insidious,” “Sinister” and “Ouija” franchises.
“The Gift” poses the deadening question “What if someone you wronged long ago comes back to the present through a chance encounter? Such thought-provoking reality is astutely presented in “The Gift” where Simon (Bateman) and Robyn (Hall) play a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon’s high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo (Edgerton) at first, but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years.
“The Gift started for me with a simple premise: what would happen if a high school bully ran into his victim fifteen or so years later? What would or could be the effects? How might the past come to bear on the present? How could the past, unaccounted and unresolved, rupture a present situation?” shares Edgerton.
The line between teasing and bullying can be razor-thin, and fluctuate greatly depending on which side of the equation you’re on. What one person may chalk up to an act of harmless play, another person may internalize as deeply hurtful behavior.
“One of the things that’s interesting about bullying,” Blum opines, “is everyone’s version of the events of bullying are often very different.” “Things do stick,” Yeldham says, “they have a ripple effect.”
“On the one hand,” Edgerton adds, “it could be just one of those things that you did when you’re a kid, but whether it’s that or a willful, deceptive act, it can snowball and have a massively damaging effect on another person’s life.” Why some people are able to move on from youthful torment and others are profoundly scarred remains a mystery.
“So when I wrote this,” Edgerton explains, “I was interested in the question of where are those people that bullied us in the past? Or the ones that we bullied? I wanted to hold a mirror up through this story, about taking responsibility for our past and our actions but with a real sense of mystery and intrigue.”
What “The Gift” addresses is what happens when someone is faced with a person who can’t get over the past. At what point does a sense of civility fall away, and uneasiness over a bygone person’s sudden reappearance in your life give way to a building sense of terror?
“The Gift” opens very soon this August 19 in theatres nationwide from OctoArts Films.
