Is Alden Richards gay? Viral Photo sparks online
Amidst the AlDub fever, there has been a photo circulating around the internet about a photo of Alden Richards being sweet to a man. And yes, that guy, as what I've heard is a gay/homosexual.
Naturally, different opinions from fans and non-fans alike about this picture. Some said that this picture is a photo of Alden Richards before he was famous and that gay guy he was close with was/is his bestfriend. While others said that this was Alden Richard's true color, that "he is a gay pretending to be a guy" since he's an actor for today's new love team on Kalyeserye on Eat Bulaga.
Loyal fans are convinced that this photo was photoshopped although others admit it was a real image but still choose to idolize Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza love team. This photo had over hundreds of thousands of shares spread by fans and non-fans alike.
Many people still believe that this is a strategy to discredit the AlDub fever, while a conspiracy exist that this photo was spread by It's Showtime in order to beat the nation's most admired love team that boosted Eat Bulaga, or rather, GMA 7's ratings into a Pacquiao-like hit.
Whatever it is some netizens will not judge until the true story will come from Alden Richards himself if the photo is real or not. And if it's real then who's this guy being so close and sweet with Alden Richards? We will find out soon enough!

Thesis project gone wrong for these girls stripping for guys
Manila City, Philippines - Here is the new catch for the Filipino netizens today about students whose excuse was to go make their "thesis project" but these images were now circling around Facebook about these female students almost stripping and kissing strangers in a wild party. The pictures have received negative comments from the netizens.
What is now happening with this generation? Is the world really becoming more and more wicked? Whoever the parents of these people are, they should be ashamed for what their children have become. Instead of focusing on their studies, they go to wild parties, either drunk or high and become entertainment for guys. This is a lesson for girls to take care of your dignity so you will be respected, girls like these have lost it. But there is hope if someone will help them!
But hey, were not to judge, but whatever their reasons are, from the looks of it, it doesn't look good. What is this Manila Hypin and Highlife production anyways?

Preserving Luneta Park does not make our nation rich
There has been a stir in the internet about the "photobomber" Torre de Manila building on Luneta Park. This is how the overacting attitude of Filipinos come to life, like really, how will the Philippines improve if we don't embrace development?
Filipinos like to preserve Rizal's statue instead of his values and love for the country. I rather see Filipinos improves their perspective in life and admire Rizal's works and what he has done for our country than preserve his statue and demolish development.
The Torre de Manila project is a development, it was not built for the sight-seeing, it is a condominium that gives more homes to Filipinos that can afford it and give jobs to those who need it. Many Filipino netizens argued that it looks ugly but how about the squatter areas in Manila? I rather see them demolished than Torre de Manila.
A netizen said that respect for the historical monuments will help us improve as a nation. But the question is, how? Well, it is a tourist destination, but that's just it. Luneta Park is by its name, a park, where people hang out and thieves too.
Manila is already ugly to the sight above in a helicopter or plane view, a capital full of squatters that like to be spoon-fed by the government. The reason we don't improve in terms of economy is that we let our emotions cloud our judgment, or rather, we let our over sensitivity block progress.
I wrote this article not because I hate Rizal, in fact, I admire him as a person who should be a role model to the new generation. Rizal did not die so that statues will be built for him, he died for our country. If Rizal is alive today, he rather see progress and independence than a stone that will have no impact on our lives.

Dear clashers, today, while i was playing clash of clans with my friends, we noticed something really shocking: in fact, entering the mode where you can change the place of all the buildings in your collage, if you remove everything (photo n 1) you will notice some interesting things......
more precisely, observing the game field And considering the diagonal line that goes from north to south (photo n 2) you can clearly see some strange features in the ground that resemble some frightening images.
The thing that frightened us the most was this (photo n 3) which really looks like a face representing the devil!!!! (Photo n 4)
Furthermore, there are other really mysterious faces (photo n 5). Try to investigate some more!! In fact looking at the pictures upside down you can see other faces too! Please send this message to all your friends and people who play coc.

Many players have checked it themselves and proven that it really exist in the game. Are you a Clash of Clans player? You might want to check it out. Others have covered the part of the map with trees so that they won't see it again.
What can you say? Another conspiracy or a fact behind such allegations?
Game of Thrones Season 5 Leaked and their Links!
WASHINGTON -- The four first episodes of Season 5 of HBO hit "Game of Thrones" were leaked on the Internet hours before the premier episode was to air on the cable network, the news site TorrentFreak reported Sunday.
"The leaked episodes, which appear to come from review copies sent to the press, have been downloaded more than 100,000 times in just three hours," said the site, which specializes in news about copyright and file sharing.
The first episode of the new season of the medieval fantasy saga was supposed to air simultaneously at 0100 GMT Monday in 170 countries, regardless of their time zone.
HBO decided on the unusual release schedule because the series' fervent following has made it a hot property.
Based on American novelist George R.R. Martin's fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire," the saga is a feast of blood, sex and betrayal.
It recounts the implacable fight for power among several families in an imaginary landscape of kingdoms and continents inspired by the history of the Middle Ages.

Bill Gates visits the Philippines for NWO Agenda?
 |
| Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has visited the International Rice Research Institute in Los Baños, Laguna, sources said. |
This "confidential" visit on one of the largest producers of rice in the world, The Philippines, sounds very fishy. Is Bill Gates here to genetically modify our rice for the New World Order (NWO) Depopulation agenda? Many Filipinos were aware of the conspiracies regarding Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, is part of an agenda that is said to be connected to the Illuminati to reduce the population of humans living on the planet to maintain the balance and take over the world on their own.
Let us remember that our rice is already good for the Filipinos that has been served in our plates for hundreds of years. And if this conspiracy is true, since there are millions of useless and stubborn Filipinos in the world who depends too much on the government that our people will be one of the first nation to be depopulated.
One of the NWO Agenda is to get rid of useless human beings living on the planet for the world to be in balanced and that elites and rich people will live on this Earth. And as a Filipino myself, I can say that most of our population is a good spot for depopulation.
Is Bill Gates here for something good for our country? Or was something that we feared will come true? We'll find out soon!
NASA CONFIRMS UFO WILL ARRIVE IN 2016?
WASHINGTON - NASA officers are reporting what they believe to be, aliens traveling towards our planet Earth and are set to arrive here sometime in 2016.
This is the perfect time in history that aliens are really detected and discovered via telescope and sound waves. officers say they have captured sound frequencies of the oncoming extraterrestrials and have even “heard their voices”.
"This is probably the first stunning discovery nevertheless, it's been debated for hundreds of years on whether or not or not these out-of-the-Earth creatures even exist, but now, we have a firm ground to believe that they exist,” says independent agency reporter Larry Fields. The likelihood that these outside beings will come back to try and do hurt is very high, according to government officials. Will a fourth war break out? A nuclear war between humans and aliens?
Officials couldn't read the particular beings' physical characteristics with pictures from the Hubble telescope, however solely the satellite during which they're traveling in. There are six total spacecrafts incoming and are believed to be a similar size — about 0.5 of a playing field for a regular football game.
The White House and other presidential suites around the world are yet to release a statement regarding this matter. Stay tuned to Manila Link for more updates. Well, NASA has not confirmed this but stay tuned!
Zayn Malik leaving One Direction after the cheating scandal
Zayn Malik has quit One Direction, the band have confirmed in a statement.
Malik said: "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band.
"I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right."
One Direction will continue their world tour as a four piece and record a fifth album later this year.
Last week, Malik walked away from the band's world tour after being signed off with stress.
He returned to the UK shortly after being forced to defend his relationship with his fiancee, Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards.
A photo had earlier emerged of him holding another woman around the waist.
 |
| A second photo, taken from behind, showed Malik standing close to the woman. Their hands and arms looked as though they were linked. |
In a statement, the rest of the group said: "We're really sad to see Zayn go, but we totally respect his decision and send him all our love for the future.
"The past five years have been beyond amazing - we've gone through so much together, so we will always be friends.
"The four of us will now continue. We're looking forward to recording the new album and seeing all the fans on the next stage of the world tour."
Simon Cowell, who discovered the boyband on talent show The X Factor, said: "I would like to say thank you to Zayn for everything he has done for One Direction.
"Since I first met Zayn in 2010, I have grown very, very fond - and immensely proud - of him. I have seen him grow in confidence and I am truly sorry to see him leave.
"As for One Direction, fans can rest assured that Niall, Liam, Harry and Louis are hugely excited about the future of the band."
The Group One Direction had a concert in the Philippines without Zayn Malik on it, but they still gave the fans what they deserved.

| Melissa Mendez defends her rights. |
We have seen too many articles that made Melissa Mendez dignity go down. This article is not to defend the actress but we aim not to be one-sided with issues that concern citizens.
Here is some posts on Facebook about defending the actress on the Cebu Pacific incident where she was unloaded and said 'banned' from the airlines. The incident involved Andrew Wolf and his friend, Rey Pamaran, whom Melissa admitted was hit by her because he said that the actress had a foul breath.

5-Year-Old Tangled in Giant Kite and Fell to his death
A (supposed to be happy) kite festival practice in Vietnam ended in tragedy when a 5-year-old boy was accidentally tangled in a giant kite’s string and dragged more than 60ft in the air before falling to his death in Ho Chi Minh City.
The victim was identified as Van Minh Dat, who was only at the event to help his mother sell drinks to kite flyers and spectators. The horrific accident was caught on cam, showing the young boy being pulled into the air as helpless onlookers scream in terror.
Dat’s Aunt, who witnessed the accident told Thanh Nien News that the giant kite had fallen to the ground several times after the Saigon Kite Club members attempted to launch it in unstable wind condition. In one such fall the kite knocked down a table and some chairs near the drinks stall where Dat’s mother and him were working.
Apparently, the little kid run near the kite, trying to help pick up some fallen soft drink bottles, but his leg got caught up in the kite string. The kite then instantly took off because of the strong winds, dragging the boy up.
Members of the Saigon Kite Club attempted to launched this massive kite about 15 meters wide, as they were practicing for an upcoming kite festival in the beach city of Vung Tau.

Daan Bantayan, Cebu - A high school student of Daan Bantayan National High school named Wendyll Manzañares, committed suicide after being disappointed that his Filipino teacher did not sign his clearance and because of it, he cannot take the final exam.
According to the other teacher's statement, the student's group were so noisy that made the teacher mad and during the signing of clearance, (although the student is complete with his projects) she insisted that it will be her final decision not to sign the student's clearance.
According to one of his family, the boy was depressed after his cousin also committed suicide and it became worst after the teacher did not sign his clearance. Friends and families who knew him said that he's a very jolly kid and they did not expect he would do something serious.
As of now, the teacher is being watched over by police due to death threats she received. Many netizens in Northern Cebu were mixed about their emotions. Some said that the teacher should have called the parents of the student about the problem. And some said that it is the parent's responsibility to look over their children and ask them about their school.

Why you should not watch Oh My G
 |
| Oh My G is a TV program on ABS-CBN that shows a young girl who can 'talk' with God |
There is a previous article written to criticize this TV show: Oh My G is a False Propaganda.
Janella Salvador is very charming lady, but I don't watch shows or movies because of their beautiful actresses, I watch it because of the story.
We are all special to God, but what made this girl in the TV show more special? Well, she is a beautiful young lady on a rich, almost-perfect happy family. But does God have an attitude of favoritism? Of course not. Well, it's just a TV show, but that's not the case, because TV shows are manipulative these days, and most Filipinos are easily fooled!
Reasons why you should not watch Oh My G
- God does not talk to anyone in a physical form, only through prayer.
- God does not command a request of a dying parent to watch over their children in a physical form, which is portrayed in the movie. God watches over us all.
- God won't use Facebook or smartphones to communicate with us, that's blasphemy, what's the use of prayer?
- God changed into the form of a very handsome young man. Remember, God is a spirit and can influence us as a spirit. No need to bother changing into a physical handsome man.
- There are more people in the world who has bigger problems than the girl who is so rich and lost her family, nothing is too special about her.
Like I said, it maybe just a TV show and should not take it seriously, but this is talking about our belief which should be taken very very seriously. The media should stop creating stories that influence other people. Stories like these are false, well, its nothing new, ABS-CBN has a reputation of showing idiocy on their TV shows, like love affairs and teenage pregnancy. Be careful on what your children watch on TV! Because they may grow up believing that God will indeed talk to them on Facebook.
China Bullying: Why the Government can't do anything as of yet
 |
| China has built infrastructure in the disputed islands in the West Philippine Sea, the Spratly islands. |
Many Filipinos have asked, "Is our president a coward and a fool?". Many keyboard commandos in the social media were blaming the government for not acting. Here is the real truth: They are acting on it, but China did not listen.
Even the Unites States asked China to stop bullying the Philippines, but as a powerful nation, they don't listen to anyone but themselves. The government of the Philippines has asked the UN and the US about it.
Let us be realistic, if we force our president to be 'brave' against the Chinese, will it do anything good? Of course not! Even if some people recklessly say that our President is Chinese-blooded, which is a fact, it can't change anything. And being a Chinese is not the reason why the government is not acting on it, because they know far better than those brainless netizens that WAR is not the solution.
If there is war and many people died, people will still blame the government, so it's better that they just use diplomacy in order for the Chinese to stop. Although we had US as defense allies, they can't act on it just yet. Remember, China is one of the economic giants in the world that the US economy totally depends on. And we understand why the US will also think of its economy, because they know how it will affect its people.
If we compare our military power against China, it's like we our throwing stones against people with guns. The government should not listen to those people who says, "War against China!" because they are just fools who sit in the office, and if they are brave, they should enlist themselves in the army and go on a mission to stop the Chinese in the West Philippine Sea.
Maybe that's the reason why Philippines won't improve no matter what the government do, because the problem is in its people. Many Filipinos act brave on the internet and blame the government for not doing anything, but in reality, they're just a bunch of cowards who will just hide when War against China will happen.
This war is not just into us so we could win, it is not a war of power, but it can be solved with peace and negotiations.
How the Philippine System of Education Killed Young Dreamers
 |
| Education kills creativity |
A student in Makati committed suicide after his British-national teacher scolded and embarrassed him in front of the class. Now, a freshman Respiratory Therapy student from Tuguegerao committed suicide because she was unable to pay for her midterm tuition fee and thus failed to take the exam.
These young dreamers did not kill themselves, it is the system that killed them. They have high hopes and confidence that education will bring them into a secured future. Because of this belief which the society has fed up to them, when they have failed to pay for tuition or being humiliated in class, it is likely the end of life for them.
I take this from experience, although I did not try to commit suicide. I learned English not in school but in the internet, it is the online games that taught me how to write English better than my classmates when I was in college. To be honest, I did not learn anything in school, education frustrates me but learning doesn't. I hunger for learning, as I see today, Education is far different from learning.
We should be aware that most world billionaires are college dropouts or have not taken education at all. Mark Zuckerberg, Henry Sy, an even Manny Pacquiao, what did they all had in common? They were hardworking people, and hardworking is not taught at school.
Some countries outside the Philippines have cheaper or even free education. If the society believes that education is the 'key' to the future, they should invest more money for it than infrastructures and wars.
They have added a new system called K to 12 but for me its useless. Lengthening the time of education is nothing if the teachers don't even teach their students of what should be taught. I don't generalize all the teachers, since I've known some teachers who really teach their students well.
Quality over Quantity, it is a simple quote but has a very good impact for me. These young dreamers deserved to have a free education because they're the ones hunger for it, and yet they are the ones being deprived of it. The system of education sucks, where is learning? Before, you may die because your knowledge but at least it was free. If learning has a price before, there would be no Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Greek Philosophers, Newton and etc. Think again! Education kills, so better reach out for learning!

News about the announcement of the New Samsung S6
By Se Young Lee and Harro Ten Wolde
SEOUL/BARCELONA (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co Ltd unveiled its latest Galaxy S smartphones featuring a slim body made from aircraft-grade metal, in a bid to reclaim the throne of undisputed global smartphone leader from Apple Inc.
Designed from scratch in an operation dubbed "Project Zero", the Galaxy S6 and its curved-edges variant are critical for Samsung's plans to reverse plunging smartphone revenues that led to its first annual earnings fall in three years in 2014.
By some estimates, Apple surpassed Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker late last year, selling a record 74.5 million iPhones in the December quarter on the back of the success of its big-screen iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Samsung's previous flagship Galaxy S5 was outsold in its second full month of global sales by Apple's older iPhone 5S, according to researcher Counterpoint.
The South Korean giant begins its fight-back on April 10 when the revamped Galaxy phones, unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday, hit the market in one of the most important product launches in the company's history.
"We listen to our customers and we learn from our missteps," J.K. Shin, Samsung's president and chief executive told a packed hall in Barcelona's convention center.
"I may not be the best public speaker. That is because my first language is engineering," he said.
Samsung is yet to disclose pricing or where the phones will appear first but said on Sunday that the phone will go on sale in 20 countries.
Stand-out features include casing made from light-weight metal used in airplanes, a step up from the plastic that disappointed many critics of the S5, and Corning Inc's Gorilla Glass on both front and back.
The Galaxy S6 upgrades the previous version's camera and screen, and strips out many of Samsung's unpopular in-house software apps that infuriated users by gobbling memory. It and the Galaxy S6 Edge will also be powered by Samsung's new 64-bit, 14-nanometer Exynos processors, analysts said.
"This offers the promise of delivering better overall margins for Samsung and, in time, differentiated performance from rivals, as Apple has achieved" with their own chip used in iPhones, said Ian Fogg, an analyst at IHS Technology.
"But it's a high-risk, high-reward strategy," he added.
In its previous Galaxy phones Samsung used a processor from Qualcomm.
The phones are also the first from Samsung to support wireless charging as a standard feature. In another departure, they have non-removable batteries to make them slimmer. To compensate for the lack of interchangeable batteries, Samsung says a 10-minute charge by cord gives four hours of power.
Samsung is also touting the Galaxy S6's compatibility with a new mobile payments system it is preparing to launch in the United States and South Korea in the second half of this year, using the technology of recently acquired startup LoopPay.
The system, in partnership with major U.S. banks and credit card companies including Visa and MasterCard, will allow users to make mobile payments through magnetic strip-card readers without an external accessory needed for other models.
The rival Apple Pay system, launched in the United States in September and rapidly winning retailer support, requires merchants to install near-field card readers, limiting its reach as contactless credit cards have been slow to take off there.
The new Samsung flagships will also come with free two-year, 115-gigabyte cloud storage through Microsoft Corp's OneDrive, suggesting improved relations between the firms after they settled a patent dispute last month.
