YOUR NEW FAVORITE RUNNING SHOES THIS new pair of shoes claims that it could make everyone want to run—forever.

Global performance running footwear and apparel brand Saucony introduces a shoe that “outperforms all running shoes,” dubbed the Freedom ISO. Having been recently selected as a “Gear of the Year” honoree in Outside magazine’s 2017 Summer Buyer’s Guide, Freedom ISO is Saucony’s most technologically advanced shoe ever created yet.

The secret: cutting-edge technology that allows wearers to truly feel liberated while they run on any track or trail.

Freedom ISO has a full-length EVERUN midsole—a first of its kind—made of expanded TPU beads instead of traditional solid Turn to E2

YOU don’t.

That’s according to human rights lawyer and UAAP commissioner Rene “Rebo” Saguisag Jr. With this generation’s obsession with balancing everything in one hand all at the same time, Saguisag avers that to excel in two or more things, undivided attention must be given to each.

Law practice and basketball are two different worlds, for instance; they are both time-consuming and emotionally draining, thus managing them would require his whole attention—something that multi-taskers are reluctant to do.

“I don’t see it as an obstacle but a challenge and opportunity to better myself so I never even considered choosing one over the other,” shares Saguisag. “In fact, if handled properly, they can even complement each other.”

The lawyer-cum-UAAP commissioner says he learned this discipline while playing basketball when he was young and eventually while coaching young athletes at BEST (Basketball Efficiency & Scientific Training) Center, the pioneer of basketball clinics in the country.

Atty. Rene 'Rebo' Saguisag says the basketball court taught him a lot

He notes how the organization instilled in him discipline and a great sense of responsibility. The strict guidelines and high standards imposed and maintained in the clinics, and the proper behavior required in the court along with the values taught in team sports, have molded him to become who he is today.

“All I really needed to learn, I learned inside the basketball court,” says Saguisag.

Saguisag encourages everyone not to limit themselves to their own comfort zones, but instead be open to opportunities, accept challenges and turn these into achievements.

It also helps that you have people who support you. “I married the perfect wife who fills my shortcomings,” he beams.

#SYMBOLISM

AKE news, fake news everywhere. And there seems to be no stopping this anomaly what with the liking and commenting and sharing of posts on social media without verifying whether they are true and accurate.

trusted groups or organizations—say, a government office. Truth and accuracy be damned.

On May 29, government employee herself, Presidential Communications assistant secretary Mocha Uson reshared a photo on her Facebook page. The image, which shows uniformed officers kneeling in prayer, was captioned: “Let’s pray for our army. Panalangin din po natin ang mga pamilyang naiwan at nababahala sa kalagayan ng kanilang asawa at tatay.”

Assuming they were really our government troops battling the Maute group in Sadly, fake news could come from anyone: Marawi City, followers shared and liked and your Facebook friends, shady websites, and even commented the post only to find out later

that the individuals in the photo are not Filipino soldiers, but Honduran police officers.

Uson immediately backpedaled, through another Facebook post, claiming that she didn’t say they were Philippine army. “I did not say that picture was taken from Marawi.

It’s a symbol of army praying... Common sense na it is a symbolism,” she said.

Well, if it’s common sense the government official is asking from people for her rather symbolic post, the Internet has a better idea.

People on Facebook and Twitter follow in her footsteps and show examples of #symbolisms. Everyone, take note!

EVERUN Continuous Cushioning provides runners enhanced performance

materials. This advancement makes a dramatic difference in the feel and performance of the shoe.

One of the most compelling features immediately noted by people who have run in the Freedom ISO is the shoe’s proprietary EVERUN Continuous Cushioning. Wearers agree that from the moment they step off for a run, there is a noticeable underfoot energy that generates fluidity of movement, superior energy return, and enhanced performance.

“Freedom ISO’s Full EVERUN sole will make each and every one of you want to run, and once you hit the ground, you’ll feel like you can run forever,” enthuses Saucony vice president Charles Yu. “Your running experience begins and stays incredible, no matter how long and far you run.”

Aside from its cushioning, the shoe is lightweight and has streamlined fit, making wearers swear by the great improvement in the feel and performance of the footwear.

In essence, Freedom ISO symbolizes Saucony’s commitment to innovation: allowing and inspiring runners to reach their full potential and stretch the limits of running. With this shoe, one can run free, out in the open air while feeling the sun and sweat off their backs—perhaps forever.

SARCASTICALLY SYMBOLIC.

Netizens didn't let Mocha Uson get away with her recent controversial posts as they presented their own sarcastic take on symbolism.

HOLLY: THE RESCUED DOG WHO SAVED A RESCUER PET TALES

BY DESIREE CARLOS THE worse time in one’s life is losing a loved one. It is worse for animal lovers. They have to endure the deaths not only of human loved ones but also of their furry best friends—their pets—who have shorter lives.

In the past two weeks, I silently grieved with those who lost their pets.

I silently sent (love) energies of comfort and emotional healing to an owner who lost three dogs to ehrlichia (a blood disease a dog gets from a tick or garapata) in two days, an animal rescuer who fought for a cat and successfully had her treated for a virus but lost her to bacterial infection, another rescuer who hoped for a miracle for a dog with cancer, and an owner who can not believe until now that his “baby” dog is no longer around to wake him up or lie on his chest and comfort him silently when he is sad or stressed out.

We cannot stop deaths. But we can honor our loved ones as we grieve, and hope for the day when the pain is less enough for us to move forward.

As rescuers, officers and members of animal welfare group Save Animals of Love and Light (Save ALL), have lost rescued dogs and cats despite all our efforts and prayers.

All deaths are painful, of course.

But the death of a rescued dog whom a rescuer took care of and fought with for months can be doubly painful.

It must be worse for owners who lost their pets as they took care of their pets most of their lives.

Mourning owners or rescuers get a number of suggestions to ease the pain and move on.

But I will not suggest anything here.

I can only share something I did to ease the pain: I wrote about Holly, an 11- to 13-yearold stray dog we rescued and learned to love in the short time we had with her.

Holly taught me a lot about life, and moved me to act when I was at my lowest, and to continue my work even when rescuing seemed impossible already. In that sense, she rescued me.

Allow me to share her story which became an integral part of my life as an animal welfare advocate: Heaven is waiting for its new angel, Holly.

Cross the rainbow bridge now, baby. Go

to the Light. I’m letting go... Kaya ni Nanay.

Pwede mo na akong iwan. (Mother can handle it. You can leave me now.)

Nakiusap ako ng seven more years sa iyo, na sana 20 years old ka pa umalis, pero alam ko na pagod ka na. Okay na, anak... go to the Light. (I asked for seven more years with you, that you would die at 20 years old, but I know you are tired now. It’s okay, child… go to the Light.)

I accept you had to leave. Run free, Holly.

In heaven, there is no pain, there is no cruelty, there is no suffering, there is no illness. You deserve to rest.

I’m sorry pinabayaan ka sa kalye ng napakaraming taon. Nabuntis ka ng ilang beses, nanganak mag-isa sa tabi tabi, at namatayan ng mga anak ng maraming beses. I can’t imagine how you felt when you witnessed some of them get run over by a car, and die in front of you. (I’m sorry people ignored you and left you alone on the street. You got pregnant many times, gave birth alone just anywhere, and lost a number of your pups.)

I’m sorry you had to go for days without food, had to drink water from the canal, and had to fight for food scrap from the garbage can with other dogs.

Please forgive me if we only had 11 months to make you feel safe, loved, and cared for.

Kulang na kulang, anak. Pero naaalala ko na sarap na sarap ka sa kama mo, sa pagkain na hindi mo na kailangan pang hanapin sa daan or sa basurahan, sa lasagna na nabibili natin pag may extra money, sa Dentastix na bigay ng mga tita mo na admins at mga members at mga kapatid na tao... (The time we had was not enough. But I remember you loved your bed, the food that you no longer had to scrounge for or look for in the trash, the lasagna (for dogs) which we were able to buy when we had extra funds, the Dentastix your aunts who are admins and members or human siblings gave.)

Thank you, Holly. Dami kong natutunan sa iyo. Ang umasa nang umasa. Maging pasensiyosa. Maging malakas. Lumaban. Kayanin ang anumang dumating sa buhay. ANG MABUHAY AT NGUMITI KAHIT NA MAY INIINDA. (I learned a lot from you. To hope again and again. To be patient. To be strong. To fight. To endure the challenges that come my way. AND TO LIVE AND SMILE DESPITE WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH.)

GIGANTIC MOVIES...

From E4

IKE many actors of her generation, Roxanne Barcelo fully embraced her sexy side when she landed on the inside pages of a popular men’s magazine a few years ago. Amid being brought up by a conservative family and in the watchful eyes of nuns during high school and college, the former Pinoy Big Brother housemate is on a mission to satisfy every boy’s fantasies.

Roxanne, who went by the name Roxee B to introduce her career reinvention in 2014, had faced a few struggles in the competitive world of showbiz.

Roxee started her showbiz career as one of the contestants in GMA’s Metropop Search. Then in 1999, she became a mainstay in the GMA’s then top-rated youth oriented show, Click. She also appeared in the television drama series Kahit Kailan and Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga, and was a regular host of on SOP and guest-starred in several GMA shows.

While her TV career in limbo, she channeled her burning passion through electronica hiphop and the culinary arts. She honed her skills in music and endeavored to make a name in the industry while she’s still finding ways on how to re-launch her acting career. In short, she didn’t give up and she’s glad about that decision.

And just like how FHM Philippines puts it, “If you want a sincere showbiz success story that is a product of perseverance and persistence, hers should be a fine example.”

“That’s how I feel now. I’ll tell you the truth, every time I felt like quitting, something good would come along. This industry can break you. It broke me several times,” Roxanne admits. “Dreams are constantly shut down in this industry, and if you let it get to you it can really break you. I even broke down when I was in PBB, and people saw that. I don’t regret that they saw that.”

Wildflower cast member Roxanne is the newest cover girl of popular men’s magazine. FHM on Monday unveiled its June 2017 cover on its official Instagram account, starring the sultry actress.

“Roxanne Barcelo’s FHM cover debut is nothing short of liberating for the entertainer.

Not only has she survived and thrived in the industry, but she’s done so with a steady and constant evolution. Gents, your new cover muse for the month of June!” FHM said.

Roxanne graced the cover of FHM for the first time in 2014.

PET TALES...

From E2 Isipin mo ang dami mong dinaanan sa kalye. Mga 11-13 years old ka na pero ang dami mong kinaya. Ilang taon ka kayang mag-isa sa kalye? Nakatikim ka kaya ng pagmamahal sa isang tao nung baby ka? Bakit ka kaya napunta sa kalye?

Sino nanakit sa iyo? (Imagine, you went through a lot of difficulties. You were already 11-13 years old but you had to endure so many challenges. I wonder how many years you were alone on the street as a stray? Did you ever feel loved even by just one person when you were a baby? How did you end up on the street?

Who hurt you (or abandoned you?)

Hindi ko na malalaman ang mga sagot sa mga tanong ko pero saludo ako sa iyo.

(I will never know the answers but I salute you.)

Nang makuha ka namin, hirap kang mag-balanse ng katawan. (When we got you from the street, you cannot stand straight or balance yourself.) You were limping. We knew a car hit you and the driver didn’t stop to help you. But your fracture healed yet it left you limping.

A SECOND LOOK AT

ROXANNE BARCELO

Despicable Me 3 The movie’s third installment continues the adventures of Gru, Lucy, their adorable daughters -- Margo, Edith and Agnes -- and the Minions.

Joining Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig in Despicable Me 3 is Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award-winner Trey Parker, co-creator of Comedy Central’s global phenomenon South Park and the Broadway smash The Book of Mormon. Parker voices villain Balthazar Bratt, a former child star who’s grown up to become obsessed with the character he played in the ‘80s, and proves to be Gru’s most formidable nemesis to date.

Transformers: The Last Knight The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero as humans and Transformers are at war, and Optimus Prime is gone.

The key to saving humans’ future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving the world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

The Mummy

Sultry singer-actress Roxanne Barcelo on the cover of FHM Philippine this June

And you were having difficulty moving your bowels then.

We brought you to the clinic where your spleen and cervix were removed kasi nabubulok na. (The organs were rotting.) You survived the surgery, babe.

We were so happy.

You had heartworm and we had that treated. You endured months of injections. But you survived that, too.

You had bacterial infection— something a senior like you is prone to— and you survived once again.

Sabi nga ni Doc Anthony Prado Basa, para kang pusa, ang dami mong buhay.

(As Doc Anthony Prado Basa said, you’re like a cat, you have many lives.)

Then you stopped eating and we learned you had hardened poop and hairball as big as a small frisbee in your colon. Despite your age, you survived the surgery.

You were in and out of the clinic but you stayed longer at “home,” you liked being at the adoption center, you liked watching the dogs and people pass by, you liked running around the garage and the garden, you liked simple things. Yes, simple things pleased you and made you smile.

And all this time, you were never free

of illness. Your life on the streets battered your body. But it failed to kill your love for the simple things in life, it never killed your love FOR LIFE ITSELF. This is my greatest lesson from you, my dearest one: Love life. Every moment is a treasure.

When we first met you, ang tapang mo! (You were aggressive.) You growled and snapped at us. Hirap kami bigyan ka ng pagkain. (We had difficulty giving you food.)

But we knew you just didn’t trust people, that people must have hurt you many times in the past, that you were not really aggressive, that you never intended to bite us. We knew you only wanted to protect yourself.

You would keep to a corner of your cage which you would hesitate to leave for a long time and we knew your cage became your sanctuary, a place to be left alone for once and be away from people who would hurt you or dogs as fearful as you who would fight with you for food out of hunger. You would snap at us to keep us away because you feared humans. But never, not once, did you bite any of us.

So we waited for you to trust us.

We gave you a bed and you enjoyed the softness of the mattress inside. We

gave you natural food which you liked so much or dry dog food with water which you can chew more easily, Dentastix, and liver or banana-oatmeal muffins and you started to believe we do not mean you harm.

The waiting paid off.

You started to warm up to us.

You started to lick our hand.

You smiled and smiled and smiled.

And finally, you allowed your human Ate Nicole Benedito, a Save ALL admin, to carry you.

And then you would walk towards Save ALL officers with that charming smile on your face every time they would go to the center.

And then you would greet me with a wagging tail and would even go round and round your cage or the garage of the adoption center in joy. That beautiful smile always made me so happy that we—Loribert Sobrio Bersabe, Nicole Benedito, Candy Galero and I—rescued you on July 27, 2015 in Don Antonio, Barangay Holy Spirit, Quezon City.

Eleven months have passed. Eleven months full of wonderful memories from a dog whose gentle face, soulful eyes, and beautiful smile captured our hearts.

About 12 days after your successful

Global megastar Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy.

From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

The film also stars Sofia Boutella as the ancient queen of the unforgiving desert.

surgery, you were diagnosed with ehrlichia. Your body temperature went down, your creatinin and bun (these indicate the condition of the kidneys) levels went up, and your kidney was giving you too much pain.

When you were given a medicine to ease the pain, and when I was told your condition this afternoon... na wala na... na hindi ka na nag-re-respond and may neurological symptoms ka na (that you were no longer responding and had neurological symptoms already)... part of a song entitled Wild Flower kept playing in my mind..

“She’s faced the hardest times you can imagine...

Let her cry, for she’s a lady Let her dream, for she’s a child Let the rain fall down upon her She’s a free and gentle flower growing wild.

And if by chance that I should hold her Let me hold her for a time But if allowed just one possession I would pick her from the garden to be mine.”

My wildflower, my Holly, I love you so much.

Enjoy Heaven, dear. You deserve it.

HITTING THE THEATRES IN

JUNE

THE CHOSEN ONE. Months after

speculation, official word is out that Liza Soberano is flying as the millennial Darna in the big screen adaptation of the legendary komiks character

By Nickie Wang

D

ARNA has been around for nearly seven decades now but she’s never appeared on the big screen with the kind of technology, at least in our generation’s standard, employed by the most advanced production houses across the world.

Who wouldn’t want to see Darna in high definition 3D or 4D or in an in-depth cinema experience offered by iMax? Nonetheless, the new Darna is being welcomed with rousing applause and great excitement. Hearing that Darna is flying again, is in itself a welcome news both for Mars Ravelo fans and the legion of rabid supporters of Liza Soberano.

Although everyone was glad that Liza was chosen to play the iconic role, a lot of people were no longer surprised. In fact, many believed that the teen star had been chosen a few months ago even before the announcement that Angel Locsin backed out to play Darna due to her worsening back injury.

In January, Soberano told Manila Standard that she’s preparing for a “very big project” that requires intense physical training. She couldn’t reveal the nature of the role but admitted she had already started having loop tests in preparation for the project.

Now, as the official word is out that showbiz’s one of the most beautiful faces will be playing the role of Darna, fans are curious about how the new Darna would look like – her costume, her physique, and her “angas,” the intimidating sophistication of a super heroine made popular

by Locsin in 2005 Darna TV series that aired on GMA 7.

A few days after the official announcement of anointing the Kapamilya star as the next local Wonder Woman, 19-year-old Soberano immediately kicked off her extensive training in prepa-

ration for the forthcoming movie. For the next few weeks, Liza will endure strenuous physical activities ranging from morning jogs to core workout, all with the help of a celebrity fitness trainer.

Since our screen hero now has a face, we all know that no matter how powerful Darna is, she can’t truly shine without the schemes of villains. According to sources, Anne Curtis will be playing Valentina, a role inspired by Medusa.

Curtis will be following in the footsteps of Celia Rodriguez, Pilar Pilapil, and Pilita Corales, who played the role in previous Darna movie versions.

Meanwhile, Iza Calzado has been cast as an undisclosed villain.

Both Curtis and Calzado are said to have been keeping fit in the past months to prepare for their roles in the project.

Another surprising name that is part of the project is that of Maricel Soriano, who will be playing the mother of Soberano’s character in the movie.

With this remarkable project, Soberano now joins the ranks of the country’s most celebrated actresses like Vilma Santos, Lorna Tolentino, Marian Rivera, Sharon Cuneta, Angel Locsin, and Regine Velasquez, who have previously played the coveted role.

The millennial version of Darna, which aims to introduce the character to a whole new generation of Filipinos, will be helmed by Erik Matti and is scheduled to be Star Cinema’s entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival happening later in the year.

THE summer movie season in the United States is usually very predictable but this year it’s going to be a big exception.

We are listing down 6 big movies that are poised to shape up 2017 to be a record-breaking year in movie history, with tons of sequels, origin stories, and event pictures.

Wonder Woman Who runs the world? Girl power is back on the big screen. Directed by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman is based on the DC Comics character of the same name and is the fourth installment in the DC Extended Universe. Amazon Princess Diana who lives on the island meets American pilot Steve Trevor after a crash. He then tells her about the conflict in the outside world and leaves home to bring an end to the war. It stars the exciting screen tandem of Gal Gadot and Chris Pine.

Baywatch Look who’s bringing sexy back. Directed by Seth Gordon (Identity Thief, Horrible Bosses) gives global audience his version of the ‘90s TV phenomenon. The film, which is top billed

by Zac Efron, Dwayne Johnson, Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, and Jon Bass, is a 116-minute feature full of witty one-liners, over-the-top action scenes, and references to the original Baywatch television series and cast members’ previous movies (such as Efron’s High School Musical).

MCCOY AND ELISSE MAKING GOOD MUSIC TOGETHER FROM starring in a viral music video in September 2016, former PBB celebrity housemates and upand-coming love team Elisse Joson and McCoy de Leon are trying to conquer the airwaves with a song they recorded together.

The duo, known to their fans as McLisse, has recorded a single entitled “If We Fall In Love” and was released simultaneously on YouTube and Spotify yesterday.

Produced by Rox Santos under Star Music, the sweet ballad is their rendition of the Yeng Constantino and RJ Jimenez original hit.

“We decided to record ‘If We Fall In Love’ because it perfectly suits their love team. A lot of people are following their love team, and the song just fits the kind of kilig the fans feel

every time they see the two together,” said Santos.

Elisse recalled joking about having an album with McCoy back in their days inside the Pinoy Big Brother house during its “Lucky Season 7” edition.

And now, they have a single, an album is also currently in the works.

She also agreed with Santos’s observation on the song being a fitting “soundtrack” to her “love story” with McCoy. “When I read the lyrics, I said that na parang ang hirap sabihin na bagay pero ‘yung na-feel ko parang sakto sa’min,” Elisse giggled.

Hashtags member McCoy feels it’s a “coincidence” that their song is entitled as such.

“We still have a lot of questions regarding our love team. It’s a coincidence I guess. Kumbaga, hindi pa namin alam kung anong meron din kaya sakto rin ‘yung kanta,” he said.

Can We Still Be Friends?

On the local front, Star Cinema is fielding another romcom with Gerald Anderson and Arci Muñoz playing the lead. Can We Still Be Friends?, which begs the question “Can ex-lovers still be friends?” revolves around the story of Diego (Anderson) and Sam (Muñoz) whose relationship takes a rollercoaster ride from being lovers to exes, and then peers.
