Post your comments on the explosion at the Glorietta 2 mall in Makati City.
They lost their cash amounting to P9,800 and cellular phones to a woman who introduced herself as Shiela Tan. The latter approached them and won her game last Friday at 10 a.m. at Huervana-Rizal Sts., La Paz , Iloilo City.
Pacumbo said they have just withdrawn the cash and were walking away from the ATM machine when Tan approached them and asked where to find the "Continental hardware."
After which, Tan started to execute her dirty tricks by asking the two to look after her pouch with P72,000 inside for she would meet her friend who could lead her to the store.
RUN-UP TO SEA GAMES/FOOTBALL > Keng Hong can make the step up
Keng Hong, who came in for midfielder Azi Shahril Azmi in the second half, made several well- timed tackles to keep the Indone sians at bay and on the strength of his performance, the Kedah- born could possibly be considered for a place in the starting line-up. The 22-year old Keng Hong, however, has to work extra hard to convince the boss. Since Aidil Zafuan Abdul Radzak has been ruled out due to a two-match suspension, Sathiana- than tried a new partnership for a dry run yesterday, but the jury is still out on whether the central rearguard combo of Bunyamin Umar, being courted by UPB- MyTeam, and Negri Sembilan Naza�s Syamsol Sabtu, can keep the speedy Vietnamese at bay. Against an Indonesian team that struggled to impose their game, neither Syamsol nor Bunyamin showed the kind of composure, aerial ability and dis tribution skills that are the hall mark of Aidil�s game.
Dancing pitchman takes fame in stride
California native gets paid to shake his booty on the San Marcos roadside. By Molly BloomAMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Saturday, November 24, 2007 SAN MARCOS — Some small-town celebrities are anointed under Friday night lights or crowned by wealth and family ties. Others owe their fame to serendipity or, in Todd Andrews' case, an unabashed willingness to shake his booty by the side of the road. Andrews, a former grocery store worker, takes up his post outside an Aquarena Springs shopping center at 9 a.m. every weekday, wedges the earphones of his digital music player into his ears and begins the gyrations that have earned him renown as "that dancing guy." .
Senate votes to kill service tax; House may pass replacement
LANSING, Mich. -- As expected, the Michigan Senate voted 23-15 Wednesday to repeal a much-maligned tax on services such as business consulting, tanning and graphic design before it takes effect Dec. 1. The full House could follow up as early as Thursday with a plan replacing the $614 million the tax would generate this fiscal year. The linchpin to successfully killing the service tax is making up for the revenue that lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm have designated for K-12 public schools and other government services. "It's the reasonable and responsible thing to do," said Sen. Michael Prusi, D-Ishpeming. House Tax Policy Chairman Steven Bieda, D-Warren, hopes his committee can vote Thursday on legislation repealing the tax and replacing the revenue.
Egypt unveils King Tut's mummy to public
LUXOR, Egypt - The linen wrapped mummy of King Tut was put on public display for the first time on Sunday - 85 years after the 3,000-year-old boy pharaoh's golden enshrined tomb and mummy were discovered in Luxor's famed Valley of the Kings. Archeologists removed the mummy from his stone sarcophagus in his underground tomb, revealing his shriveled leather-like face and body. "The golden boy has magic and mystery and therefore every person all over the world will see what Egypt is doing to preserve the golden boy, and all of them I am sure will come to see the golden boy," Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass told reporters under the intense Luxor sun. Hawass said scientists began restoring King Tut's badly damaged mummy more than two years ago after it was removed briefly from its sarcophagus and placed into a CT scanner for the first time for further examination.
