Magpa-file ng Motion for Reconsideration sa Sandiganbayan ang abogado ni dating Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista na si Dean Nilo Divina ng Divina Law Office para sa P32.107 million contract sa isang IT firm na bumili sa isang online occupation permitting at tracking system noong 2019.
‘Deeply saddened’ ang kampo ni Bautista sa naging desisyon laban sa kanya ng Anti-Graft Court Seventh Division nu'ng Lunes.
Base sa official statement ng abogado ni Herbert, “We maintain his innocence and assert that no act constituting the offense was committed. Notably, the vote was split 2-1, highlighting reasonable doubt.
“Evidence presented in the trial confirmed the project was delivered and received by the Quezon City Government, with payment made by the succeeding administration. Mayor Bautista did not financially benefit from the project, and no harm or injury was incurred by the city or its people.
“We will file a motion for reconsideration, hopeful that a thorough review of the evidence will affirm his innocence.”
Open book na si Mayor Joy Belmonte ang humalili kay Bistek bilang mayor ng Kyusi, kaya inaasahan ang magiging sagot naman ng alkalde sa naging pahayag ng kampo ni Herbert.
Samantala, ang Sandiganbayan Special Third Division ay guilty naman ang verdict kay dating Quezon City administrator Aldrin Cuña.
“An indeterminate penalty of imprisonment of six years and one month as minimum to 10 years as maximum,” ang parusa kina Herbert Bautista at Cuña bukod pa sa ‘perpetual disqualification to hold public office.’
Isa ang aktres na si Chef Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo sa mga kumasa sa Halo-Halo challenge ng world-renowned British celebrity chef at TV personality na si Gordon Ramsay na tinaguriang “Rockstar ng Kusina”.
Bilib si Ramsay sa mga Filipino chefs na nakikilala niya sa iba’t ibang bansa.
Ang challenge ay gagawa ng Halo-Halo sa loob ng sampung minuto na may kakaibang sangkap. Ang sikreto ng aktres ay nilagyan niya ng black sesame polvoron ang isa sa mga paboritong Pinoy dessert.
Ayon kay Juday sa panayam sa kanya ng TV Patrol (TVP), “Ibang-iba ang kabog ng dibdib ko kanina (sa entablado), parang ‘di ako ready, parang nahihilo o nahihimatay. Those are the priceless moments talaga. ‘Yung nand’yan kasi s’ya (Gordon Ramsay) sa tabi mo, totoo ba talaga ‘to? Hahaha!
“Probably nakaka-intimidate, of course, for a simple reason because he is Gordon Ramsay plus the fact na napapanood mo s’ya, alam mong world-renowned chef s’ya, sana magustuhan n’ya (halo-halo).”
Sa Facebook (FB) post ni Juday ay nakasaad ang: “It was Chef Juday’s honor to prepare her version of halo-halo for Gordon Ramsay to taste and know of.”
Sabay post ng mga larawan nila ni Chef Gordon, “In action for Gordon Ramsay in Manila – our lovely Chef Judy Anne.
“Preparing and conversing about a dish with Gordon Ramsay is a dream come true moment.”
Samantala, naka-post din ang ibinigay na drawing ng bunsong anak na si Luna kay Chef Gordon at nagpapirma rin ito.
Aniya, “Our bunso, Luna bunny, made drawings of Gordon Ramsay’s famous comments.
“Aw, Thank you, Luna. I love that.”
Pagkalipas ng ilang oras ay muling nag-post ang award-winning actress sa kanyang FB account.
“Wow… sa paanong paraan ko ba puwedeng maikuwento ang araw ko today? Nakakaloka? Nakakabaliw? Napaka-surreal!! Never in my wildest dreams that this would happen in my lifetime.. ilang beses kong kinukurot ‘yung sarili ko.. totoo ba ‘to?
“Pina-prank ba ‘ko? Pero totoo, eh. Gusto kong tumambling sabay split! Simpleng halo-halo lang naman, that we have to finish building in 10 mins. but that was the fastest, nerve wrecking 10 minutes of my life. But, it was the best! Hindi ko alam what I did to deserve this.. but, I am so grateful for the experience.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone involved in this wonderful experience. Thank God my husband and our youngest were there to calm my nerves and palakasin ang loob ko.. to my glam team. (Yes! Pinaghandaan ko talaga ‘to ng todo) @juansarte, @jeffreyaromin, @24c maraming salamat ng bonggang-bongga!
“To my ojph and mylaunchpad family ang saya, ‘di ba? Grabe ‘to! Grabe talaga and of course to my fellow chefs… cheers to all of us. Mabuhay at ilalaban ko ang pagkaing Pilipino!”
