Saw this Sen. Loren Legarda billboard along EDSA endorsing Lucida-DS glutathione, a whitening capsule cum food supplement. Saw also this Sen. Ping Lacson ad endorsing Facial Care Centre for Men which i guess among others promote botox treatment and other facial skin enhancements and treatments. The problem is, these endorsers are politicians/presidentiables and not really movie or television personalities. These pols maybe celebrities in their own right but what if their endorsements are a subject of some controversy like in the case of Lucida-DS when ABS-CBN veteran broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez, reporting about Lucida-DS not having enough actual glutathione content as oppose to the indicateded glutathione amount being sold..btw, Korina Sanchez boyfriend, Sen. Mar Roxas is also a declared presidentiable in 2010.


I guess the name of the game in Philippine politics is not about substance, it is all about image and media mileage. All about name recall, no matter how to earn it. In a country in love with celebrity, i am not surprised though…but i hope politicians show us a better example/way..

Hala, ang title!…lol..Well, i was suppose to write about ABS-CBN news anchor and
Umagang Kay Ganda host,
Bernadette Sembrano getting hitched last June 12, 2008, Philippine Independence Day, to one of the Philippine Independence’s illustrious descendant, Kawit, Cavite vice mayor Emilio “Orange” Aguinaldo IV, great-grandson of the late former President Emilio Aguinaldo, who declared Philippine Independence in Kawit. The wedding was held at Chapel on the Hill in Nasugbu, Batangas.
Yes, Bernadette Sembrano is not new to scandals. Only, her name was used in the lewd photo scandal but it was not really her but sexy star Ynez Veneracion. The showbiz intriga then, this happened in 2004 (!), was that before becoming a respected broadcast journalist, Bernadette posed naked in a painting session by artists from the University of the Philippines. It turned that the photo was photoshopped and her face was put in place of actress Ynez Veneracion’s body who actually did pose for the nude art session.
