"Daboy", sampaguita, cake, etc.
Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho took home an international award 
Episode on June 14, 2008 Saturday, 8:30 PM Sampaguita Sampaguita symbolizes our being Filipino, that’s why on 1934 it was declared the National Flower of the Philippines. But aside from smelling its wonderful scent, there are now other uses of sampaguita. Available nowadays are sampaguita lotion, hand sanitizer, air freshener and soap. Aside from these, there is also sampaguita ice cream that could be tasted as well! But in San Pedro, Laguna, considered as Sampaguita Capital of the Philippines, there are risks that the sweet smell of our national flower would perish. Because what used to be a large area meant for sampaguita plantations, are now residential areas. Cake The star dessert of every table in any occasion. What else, but cake! From Egypt where it is believed to have originated, up to Italy where it was claimed to have been used as an offering for Roman Gods, cake has really became part of important celebrations in the whole world. Here in the Philippines, we have our own version of cake ornamented with fresh fruits and flowers, expensive gems such as swarovski and crystal, and there are even some cakes designed by famous fashion designers such as Rajo Laurel and Frederick Peralta. Amazing Disable In any field, physical disability should not be a hindrance in achieving our dreams. Eric Weihenmeyer, an American, went blind because of a severe illness. But the loss of sight did not prevent him from reaching the peak of the world’s highest mountain – Mt. Everest! Eric is now in the Philippines, this time to reach the summit of Montalban! But Filipinos won’t surely be missed out. Although Ayra Nepacina has a cerebral palsy, she is also an amazing ice skater. Pedro Sollique on the other hand, was amputated, but is now the country’s representative to 2008 Beijing Paralympics in the field of sailing. "Daboy" Last Saturday, action superstar Rudy “Daboy" Fernandez passed away after more than two years of battling periampullary cancer. Periampullary cancer is an exceptional type of cancer which tears down the pancreas of a human being. The cancer could spread to the vital organs of our body. Those who are 40 years or older are more prone to this illness. But like any other maladies, periampullary cancer could be treated if diagnosed early. Several big names in show business and politics came to mourn. Thousands of Daboy’s fans also lined up just to take a final glimpse on their idol.
Sampaguita Sagisag ng ating pagka-Pilipino ang sampaguita, kaya noong 1934 idineklara itong Pambansang Bulaklak ng Pilipinas. Ngayon, maliban sa pagsamyo sa bango nito, may iba’t ibang gamit na ang sampaguita. Nariyan ang sampaguita lotion, hand sanitizer, air freshener at sabon. Bukod ditto, may sampaguita ice cream na rin! Pero sa tinaguriang sampaguita capital, ang San Pedro, Laguna, nanganganib na raw maubos ang bango ng sampaguita. Ang dati kasing hekta-hektaryang lupaing taniman ng sampaguita naging mga kabahayaan na. Keyk Ang star dessert ng halos lahat ng hapag kainan sa anumang okasyon, ano pa kundi ang cake! Mula Ehipto kung saan pinaniniwalaang nagmula ang cake, hanggang sa ginamit itong pang-alay sa diyos ng mga Romano. Naging simbolo na nga ang cake ng mga importanteng pagdiriwang sa buong mundo. Dito sa Pilipinas, meron na ngayong cake na napapalamutian ng fresh flowers at mga prutas, mga mamahaling bato tulad ng swarovski at crystal, at meron pang dinisenyo ng mga sikat na fashion designer na sina Rajo Laurel at Frederick Peralta. Nakabibilib na Kapansanan Sa anumang larangan, hindi dapat maging hadlang ang kapansanan para matupad ang ating mga pangarap. Si Eric Weihenmeyer isang Amerikano, nabulag dahil sa malubhang karamdamam. Pero ang pagkawala ng kanyang paningin ay hindi naging hadlang para maakyat niya ang pinakamataas ng bundok sa mundo – ang Mt. Everest! At nitong nakaraang linggo lamang , nasa Pilipinas si Eric para akyatin naman ang mga bundok sa Montalban! At siyempre, hindi pahuhuli ang mga Pinoy. Si Ayra Nepacina, may cerebral palsy pero isang magaling na ice skater. Si Pedro Sollique naman, naputulan ng dalawang paa at dalawang kamay, pero ngayon ay pambato sa 2008 Beijing Paralympics sa larangan ng sailing. Daboy Noong nakaraang Sabado, tuluyan nang namaalam ang action superstar na si Rudy “Daboy" Fernandez matapos ang mahigit dalawang taong pakikipagkaban sa Periampullary Cancer. Ang periampullary cancer ay isang pambihirang uri ng cancer na sumisira sa pancreas o lapay ng tao na maaaring kumalat sa vital organs ng ating katawan. Ang mga nasa edad 40 pataas ang malimit tinatamaan nito. Pero gaya ng anumang karamdaman, kung maaga itong matutuklasan ay maaari ring magamot ang periampullary cancer. Nasa lamay ni Daboy ang pinakamalalaking pangalan sa showbiz at pulitika para makiramay. At siyempre, pati ang libo-libong fans ng action star na pumila pa para sa masilayan ang kanilang idolo sa huling pagkakataon.
