Its Martin

Martin Nievera was chosen to sing the National Anthem for the "Pacquiao Vs Hatton"s fight. Honestly if i am to choose between Martin Nievera and Lea Salongga, well i would rather choose Lea. Iam nothing against Martin, Its just that we all know that Lea once sang our National Anthem well. And Since It was Martin, I was just hoping that we will not hear any "slang" from him while sing our National Song knowing the fact thatMartin has his Natural Foreign accent and he got used to sing English songs. But then I know Martin will work hard for this upcoming events. Cheers!!

Marian as new Darna

It was dubbed that Marian will be the next Darna for the upcoming prime time show entitled "Captain Barbell meets Darna. So does it mean that its a goodbye for the Marian-Ding Dong love team? We all know that it was Richard Guitierrez who played the role as Captain Barbell unless they will change it to Ding Dong Dantes.
What makes Marian perfect to play the role for Darna? First, its nice to see Marian to play a superhero role for the very first time. Marian was also known for herVersatility so I know she can portray the role very well.
What didnt suit Marian to play the Role for Darna? Marian's white complexion is a big No No for a Darna role. Marian's Height as well is a big factor why she doesnt suit for the role. And for me if you will let Marian wear the sexy Darna Costume, I will see Marian as Wonder woman and not as Darna. Nevertheless, With Marian's Acting skills for sure that you will never see those negative factors.

PHILIPPINES:UNCOOPERATIVE TAX HAVENS??

LONDON – The Philippines was among four nations blacklisted as uncooperative tax havens yesterday after Group of 20 leaders declared the age of banking secrecy was over and said they would no longer tolerate shady havens draining away badly needed tax revenue.

At the request of the G20 summit of rich and developing nations, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) named the Philippines, Uruguay, Costa Rica and the Malaysian territory of Labuan as the worst offenders, saying they had refused to adopt new rules on financial openness.

Leaders had agreed to name and shame the countries that refuse to exchange tax information, which could result in tough sanctions – including the withdrawal of financing by the World Bank or International Monetary Fund.

“The time of banking secrecy has passed,” French President Nicholas Sarkozy said following the summit. “Everyone around the table wants an end to tax havens. Everyone knows we need sanctions.”

The announcement reflects mounting concern that banking secrecy in tax havens has helped to worsen the economic crisis by disguising the true value of some global assets. Anti-poverty activists say such places provide corrupt officials places to stash illicit funds, often depriving poor nations of needed resources.

The OECD has divided countries into three categories: those who comply with rules on sharing tax information, those who say they will but have yet to act and nations which have not yet agreed to change banking secrecy practices.

Switzerland and Liechtenstein, which both have strong banking secrecy traditions, said last month they would adopt international rules on tax cooperation and were ready to comply with G20 demands.

Liechtenstein, Switzerland’s tiny Alpine neighbor, said it has already met with British officials to prepare for the new standards. Monaco said earlier that it would be more transparent with foreign tax authorities.

In return they were spared the fate of being blacklisted but were left in a gray area of countries that still have to implement their commitment to accept new information-exchange standards.

China supported the blacklisting, but would not agree to have two territories, Hong Kong and Macau, classified as uncooperative tax havens.

Potential sanctions for transgressors include extra audits of those who use tax havens and curbs on tax deductions claimed by businesses using the territories.

In their communiqué, leaders said they may consider further penalties in their bilateral relations with tax haven territories.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Brown and President Barack Obama played a key role in pushing for a crackdown on tax havens.

At least 35 offshore tax havens, from Britain’s Channel Islands to the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean, are under increasing pressure to provide more information to international authorities to prevent people from evading taxes or hiding income by shifting money to such places.

Stephen Timms, financial secretary to the British Treasury, said a culture of banking secrecy had worsened global economic problems.

“That lack of transparency – that opaqueness – has contributed to the severity of the problems we are seeing in the world economy at the moment,” he said.

Sorry is not enough...the damage was done..

Is that Enough?

The Hong Kong-based magazine columnist who labeled the Philippines as a “nation of servants” has issued a public apology for the racial slur, reports said today.

According to reports, HK Magazine columnist Chip Tsao made the apology last night over a local TV station in Hong Kong.

The apology came a few days after Tsao branded the Philippines “a nation of servants” in his column titled “The War at Home.” He also reportedly told his Filipina servant that he will terminate her employment in the event the Philippines takes over the highly disputed Spratly islands.

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) yesterday barred Chao from entering the Philippines, adding that “he could only be allowed entry to the country following a public apology for his insults.”
