Random Takes from TV Watching

The discussion  on buses along EDSA between Arnold Clavio, Assec. Suansing and Claire de la Fuente in Unang Hirit proceeded very amicably. Perhaps it helped that Suansing and Claire are magkumpare. Perhaps it helped that Claire knew whereof she spoke and so did Suansing. The discussion was not impassioned but factual. I admire Claire. She started out in showbiz and while she hasn’t abandoned the entertainment industry she has become this well respected bus magnate and president even of the IMBOA or whatever bus association it is. Galing. I was half listening and so was my son (he’s studying) pala when at the end of the discussion he said “Alam niya ang sinasabi niya no? Galing ng babae.” And he hasn’t heard her sing yet.

Unang Hirit’s weather girl: who’s she? wow, so confident as she delivered info on the weather complete with pa-cute motions with her body and hands. Who’s she?

Iwa Moto – in the interim between her TV appearances crying over her father and the past week, her look is softer. She’s prettier. What did she do or have done?

Akihiro Sato – he’s a guest in UH now and the ladies (Rhea, Lyn, Suzie and Sunshine) are having a heyday intervieweing him because he’s very warm without being flirtatious. He’s fun. He’s a model and is into Brazilian jujitsu.

Last night in 24 Oras, they featured Lala, a deaf young person whose digital hearing aid was snatched from the mother along with the latter’s wallet. Thing is that was no ordinary hearing aid. It cost P300k and was obtained through the help of PCSO. Possibly, the snatcher thought it was an IPOD or something similar because it looks so high tech. But you know, even if the snatcher has a relative who is deaf, that relative can’t use it because the apparatus could only be used following an ear implant. The news item also made me realize that the PCSO is one government agency we can be proud of. While it doesn’t get that much media mileage, it is doing great stuff. In one school, the dialysis sessions of a personnel was undertaken by PCSO and now, this digital hearing aid. Way to go, PCSO.
