Park Jung Min’s Manila fan meet canceled
MANILA, Philippines - Bad news for fans of boy band SS501 in the Philippines.
SS501 member Park Jung Min’s Valentine fan meet in Manila, dubbed as “Intimately Yours, Be Min’s Valentines,” scheduled on Feb. 18 has been canceled, the organizer announced.
Greenlights Events & Productions Philippines, which was bringing the K-pop star to the Philippines, apologized to fans for the unfortunate event.
“We deeply regret to bring everyone this very unfortunate news but due to unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control, we would need to cancel all of Park Jung Min's events here in Manila,” the company said in a statement posted on Facebook.
Greenlights said it was Park Jung Min’s agency that failed to commit Park Jung Min’s presence for the show.
“Park Jung Min's management failed to give us a confirmation that they can bring Park Jung Min to Manila as their artist. We have tried our best to reach out and coordinate with them to fix the problem at their end but we did not get any confirmation,” the company said.
Park Jung Min was originally scheduled to go to the Philippines last year for the October Pop Music Festival but the event was postponed.
The company also announced, “Park Jung Min, through his representative, expressed his willingness to attend his events in Manila BUT because the situation is too complicated, we decided not to bring Park Jung Min to avoid any legal conflicts.”
Greenlights reiterated its apology to the fans in the Philippines and overseas who bought tickets to the event.
“To all the fans of Park Jung Min, we know that a lot of you have anticipated his arrival next week and we can't thank you enough for the support you have given our company and Park Jung Min. We have prepared a lot for this too so it pains us to bring this sad news to everyone,” it said.
The company added, “We feel so sorry to all those who have prepared for Park Jung Min's event, particularly his local fan club and all the Overseas fans who have bought tickets to this fan meet. We completely understand your disappointment; however, we ask that you continue to support Park Jung Min in all his other activities.”
Greenlights said it would refund tickets on March 11.

| Beautiful actresses Marian, Bianca and Niña each had their own 'Valentine' |
MANILA, Philippines – Marian Rivera kept it sweet and simple for her and real-life beau Dingdong Dantes this Valentine’s Day.
“Bumili lang ako ng card tapos may message lang ako sa kanya. Tapos may binili lang ako na isang maliit na maliit na pin ng angel na nakalagay ‘You’re my guardian angel,’” shared Rivera in a taped interview aired on “24 Oras,” Feb. 14.
The Kapuso talent said in an earlier interview that they won’t be able to have a full-on V-day celebration because they have a taping on Feb 15. Plus, Dantes happens to be a guest performer in the Valentine concert of singers Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid the day prior at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Blessed Bianca
An obviously smitten Bianca Manalo needs only a few words to profess her great feelings for boyfriend John Prats.
"Sobrang mahalaga siya sa akin. Na basta, basta alam 'ko, na hangga't nandiyan siya, masaya ako," the towering beauty queen declared in an interview with “The Buzz” aired on Feb. 12.
Recall that Prats confirmed recently that they are officially a couple.
According to Manalo, she is grateful to have him in her life.
"Kasi, kung iisipin mo naman, lahat ng gestures na ginagawa niya sa akin, parang, 'Totoo ba 'yan?'
"Pero in fairness naman sa kanya, consistent siya. Hindi nag-iiba,” said she, most likely pertaining to the surprise Manila Bay cruise date that Prats arranged for Manalo's birthday last month.
In the end, the 25-year-old TV host wished for their relationship to endure.
"Alam mo, kung ano ang meron kami ngayon, ‘yung samahan namin together, masaya ako. Sobra akong thankful.
"Kung anuman ang meron kami ngayon, sana magtuluy-tuloy,” she enthused.
Niña’s new love
Meanwhile, young sexy actress Niña Jose has new love in 31-year-old, non-showbiz businessman Josh Calata.
"We've been together a month and a half. We just got together December, New Year's eve actually. Pero okey naman everything,” said Jose in an interview with PEP posted on Feb. 14.
According to her, though Calata is a “private person,” they are very open to one another and that he actually knows about the rumors linking her to veteran TV host Vic Sotto.
"I think he accepts me naman for who I am and he loves me. Tanggap naman niya lahat, whatever my past,” she enthused.
She even added, “There's no pressure in our relationship. We're like best friends. Para nga kaming magkapatid ‘eh.
"I can be myself with him. I feel very loved," she emphasized.
Meanwhile Jose, once and for all, cleared Sotto from the issue saying that they were never a couple.
“No, no! Of course, we were never together. He's just a very kind man. Siguro, natutuwa lang siya sa akin. Pero nothing going on between the two of us," she explained.
Recall that just last month, the 23-year-old star admitted to have received not just flowers but something else from Sotto, as if insinuating that he's wooing her.

Azkals: Challenge Cup semis may surpass Suzuki Cup feat
-By Roy Moore (AMD, GMA News)
The 2012 Challenge Cup is possibly the hardest test for the Azkals since their upset of Vietnam in the Suzuki Cup last December 2010.
The Philippines are grouped with the three past winners of the competition: India, Tajikistan and North Korea. They are regarded as the three best teams in the entire competition, including the qualification stages. Here we take a look at how realistic expectations should be ahead of next month’s competition.
North Korea (107) and Tajikistan (140) are ranked above the Philippines (157) in FIFA rankings, while India (158) has comfortably won their last four games and may well challenge for second in the group based on form.
ELO ratings are often more realistic and given that North Korea, Tajikistan and India are ranked at 87, 142 and 146 respectively, the Philippines’ ranking at 178 in the world shows the gulf in development in the regions.
The ELO standings also offer an interesting comparison of the Philippines’ future opponents in the Challenge Cup and their past opponents in the Suzuki Cup: North Korea are 51 places above Vietnam, Singapore are one notch above Tajikistan while India are 37 places above Myanmar.
Similar circumstances
To qualify from the group stage would be a huge achievement. The Philippines are once again clear underdogs, and reaching the semifinals would equal, maybe even surpass, reaching the semifinals of the Suzuki Cup, especially as qualification was much harder.
While North Korea are clear favorites, Tajikistan also beat Myanmar in their last encounter and India is developing quickly and are coming into the tournament on the backend of a run of good form.
The Philippines are facing a big challenge and the rest of the world expects the country to finish bottom of the group. None of the teams are expecting to pick up anything against North Korea and so who qualifies for second will likely be determined by the games between Tajikistan, India and the Philippines.
Asian football landscape
The Asian Football Confederation divides nations in Asia into three classes: developed, developing and emerging. Developed nations are the best football countries in Asia. Developing nations are close behind, and then emerging nations are more like the minnows of Asian football.
It is no surprise that the top teams in Asia dominate the Asian Cup, the premier tournament in Asian football. The Philippines, for example, classified as an emerging nation, were drawn in a group Tuesday with South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Myanmar and Taiwan for the Under-22 version of the Asian Cup.
The Challenge Cup was therefore created to give more experience to the emerging sides, with the Philippines, Palestine and Nepal as the emerging nations that managed to qualify for the final stage of eight teams.
But qualifying alone for the Challenge Cup is already a very successful achievement for the Philippines, who are also the only team in Asia to have gone through the first and second round of qualification to reach the finals. Five non-emerging nations currently compete in the tournament and the only one not to qualify for the final stage was Myanmar, who the Philippines drew 1-1 with in their group and have recently replaced as the sixth seed in South East Asia for Suzuki Cup tournaments.
Targets
With captain Aly Borromeo missing the competition due to a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in his knee, Chieffy Caligdong unsure of fully recovering in time from what is suspected to be a strained lateral ligament and many Filipinos in foreign leagues unavailable due to club commitments, the Azkals squad is slightly depleted.
Manager Dan Palami and Coach Weiss have also noted the lack of preparation time but are still optimistic about the tournament.
Palami has said “Our target is the semifinals and our dream is to become champions.” He added, however, “realistically, in the position that we are right now, we can’t dream too much.”
While reaching the semifinals may be the target, not reaching the semis wouldn’t necessarily be a failure. A failure would be losing heavily in all three matches and to be clearly outclassed. Realistically, the best the Azkals can do now then is to head on to their training camp, prepare as best as possible and fight tooth and nail in Nepal. With a bit of luck, they may be able to cause an upset in Asia.
The Azkals lost their first game of the tour in the Middle East 3-0 against the Uzbekistan Under-23s in Dubai but bounced back in Qatar Monday night, beating club team Al Ahli 3-1.
The Philippines will fly back to Dubai to face the Australia Under-23s on February 16 in preparation for the Challenge Cup starting March 8th.

Witness in Corona impeach gives birth; Senate OKs substitute
-By Kate Evangelista (INQUIRER.net)
MANILA, Philippines – A witness who was expected to testify on the peso bank documents of Chief Justice Corona at the resumption of his trial Wednesday failed to appear because she gave birth earlier in the day, the lead prosecutor said.
Iloilo Representative Niel Tupas’ announcement on Leonora Dizon, branch manager of the bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) on Ayala Avenue, was confirmed by the bank’s representative Rosario Jurado-Benedicto who said that Dizon gave birth at 7:45 a.m.
Benedicto said Dizon’s replacement has not arrived.
Tupas said that Dizon submitted the documents regarding the monthly statement of accounts of Corona’s BPI peso account.
Senate President Juan Ponce-Enrile then asked the senator-judges if they would welcome a substitute witness.
Senator Franklin Drilon, who specifically requested the recall of Dizon, confirmed that he was amenable to another witness so long as he or she could answer questions pertaining to the monthly statement of accounts.
Lead defense counsel former Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas questioned the recall of Dizon and the subpoena for the monthly statements of account of Corona’s bank account. However, Enrile said that Senator Drilon still has pending questions regarding the bank account in question.

Jones is a roving reporter for ETC’s lifestyle show “Etcetera,” which started airing last quarter of 2011.
The Australian native, in a recent interview, told Bulletin Entertainment that she enjoys her TV hosting debut in the country.
Jones updates viewers on style, events, trends and fashion and beauty tips direct from the scene via the social networking site Twitter.
Jericho’s last relationship was with another TV host, Cesca Litton. Past reports only hinted that he is indeed in a relationship with the Fil-Brit model.
Jones herself connected the dots when she uploaded on her Facebook account a series of pictures while windsurfing with Jericho in San Fernando City, La Union.
