Nang tanungin kung guma-gawa ng paliparan ang Tsina saMabini Reef, sinabi ni Del Ro-sario, “That’s one possibility.”

Ayon sa Department of For-eign Affairs, ibinunyag ni Pangu-long Aquino ang ginagawa ngTsina sa pulong ng Association ofSoutheast Asian Nations (Asean)sa Burma noong Linggo.

“This activity contravenes thespirit of the [Declaration on theConduct of Parties in the SouthChina Sea] and a security con-cern of all in the region,” ani De-fense Department spokespersonPaul Galvez, patungkol sa ka-sunduan ng Tsina at Aseannoong 2002. TQ, MR

“As to those who are sayingthey are innocent, they have tohelp facilitate an impartial in-vestigation [so] it’s better if theytake a leave first so that therecan be an impartial investigationthat may eventually clear theirnames,” dinagdag ng obispo.

NANAWAGAN kahapon ang isang obispong Katoliko samga senador at kongresista na nasa listahan ng mgaumano’y nakinabang sa P10-bilyong pork barrel scamna magbakasyon muna upang mabigyang daan angkapani-paniwalang imbestigasyon sa paratang.

Sinabi ni Manila AuxiliaryBishop Broderick Pabillo, totooman o hindi ang paratang,kailangang mag-leave ang mgamambabatas dahil sa deli-cadeza.

“All those mentioned in thelist must take a leave for at

least six months so that therecould be an orderly investiga-tion,” ani Pabillo, chair ngCatholic Bishops’ Conference ofthe Philippines public affairscommittee, sa Radio Veritas.

“The NBI has a copy of thathard drive. We also have that, butwe are having it authenticated,”ani De Lima sa mga reporter.

brewed in temperatures rangingfrom 70 to 60 degrees (Celsius).Anything beyond this will makethe tea taste bitter,” he ex-plained. “The brewing shouldtake nine minutes, because theleaves have to spread,” addedChang.

The chemistry doctorate de-gree-holder said Fiftea focuseson brewing the perfect tea,which is the base for all of thebeverages that the store offers.Whether using Jasmine, Oo-long, Green or Red, all teabases for the beverages must bebrewed the only way it shouldbe made, he explained, addingthe tea must stay for a periodno longer than three hours.

Aside from employing strictbrewing practices, Fiftea alsotakes pride in using only thefinest ingredients for its menuitems.

“All ingredients pass through

what we call ‘SGS laboratorytests’ to determine if they aresuitable in producing the per-fect milk tea,” Chang shared.

Because of this, the tealeaves and creamers used in thePhilippines are imported. Theonly locally-sourced ingredientsare the fresh fruits (especiallythe calamansi), milk, ice cream,and the brown sugar which isused in making the syrup.

And to make sure that thebest ingredients are perfectlyprocessed, Fiftea’s baristas un-dergo a crucial training pro-gram, to come up with an eliteplatoon of personnel who canguarantee that the company’sstrictest standards are appliedin all the products that comeout of the kitchen.

By Armin P. Adina

IF YOU think you have tried all the milk tea in theland, think again. Even with the deluge of milk teastores that the Philippines has seen recently, Filipinoshave yet to discover the beverage maker that dominat-ed the Taiwanese market for two decades now.

Taiwanese milk tea store“Fiftea” brought its own brandof refreshments to the Philip-pines, the first market outsideTaiwan and China that thebrand has explored.

Dr. Si Chang shared at an in-timate gathering with the localmedia yesterday the experiencehe had with milk tea stores inthe country during a recent trip.

“I was surprised! They’re to-tally missing the point of the

’tea.’ What they’re just servingare tea-flavored drinks,” Changtold members of local media atFiftea’s third Philippine outlet atthe Rustan’s Supermarket in Al-phaland Place at the corner ofMalugay Street and Ayala Av-enue Ext. in Makati City.

Chang said the stores he ob-served either used tea bags, orwere brewing tea leaves the“wrong” way.

“Tea leaves should be

progress, and stayed for addi-tional training,” explainedChang. “And the Filipino baris-tas impressed the trainer,” headded.

Since opening its first storein Taiwan in 1994, Fiftea onlyset foot outside Taiwan last yearwith the inauguration of its firstoutlet in China. It took decadesfor the company to develop aunique franchising strategy be-cause it wanted to make surethat all products across all out-lets will carry the brand’sunique standards.

And with the Philippines asits first market outside Taiwanand China, Chang said Fifteaplans to make the country ahub for its further expansion inthe region.

“Baristas may be trainedhere in the Philippines, and thetrainees may be deployed to ei-ther Indonesia or Singapore, orother countries where Fifteamay open in the future,” Changshared.

But for now, Fiftea plans toopen around 40 more stores inthe country. It hopes to expandits customer base through wordof mouth. “Our customers bringin their friends, and then theirfriends come back with otherfriends,” Chang explained.

Fiftea stores are also locatedat the ground floor of LepantoBldg. and the Lower GroundFloor of Cityland III, both inMakati. A fourth store is set toopen in SM Davao next month.

La Union public schools get reading cornersPHILIPPINE Long Distance Tele-phone Co. (PLDT), through theBalik-Baterya program of Moto-lite and the Philippine Businessfor Social Progress (PBSP), insupport of USAID’s Basa Pilip-inas, donated reading corners tosix public elementary schools inLa Union.

“The accessibility of qualitybasic education is one of themost pressing concerns in ourcountry. Sadly, our public schoolchildren are often times chal-lenged to realize their potentialbecause of the inadequate re-sources that facilitate learning.”said Evelyn Del Rosario, PLDT’scommunity relations head, dur-ing the turn over ceremony atSanto Tomas Central Elementary

School, Santo Tomas, La Union.In line with PLDT’s business of

bridging people and communitieshere and abroad, PLDT chose thesaid project as its major Corpo-rate Social Responsibility (CSR)program. “PLDT believes that op-portunities are limitless to chil-dren who are equipped with ba-sic education,” said Del Rosario.

Recipients of the reading cor-ners are Santo Tomas Central El-ementary School, Cabaruan In-tegrated School, Sengngat Ele-mentary School, Rimos Elemen-t a r y S c h o o l , M a n g g a a nElementary School, and AringayCentral Elementary School.

To date, PLDT has donatedmore than 50 reading corners inLuzon and Visayas to public ele-

mentary schools. This was madepossible through the Motolite-PBSP Balik Baterya Program.

The program, involves thecollection of used lead-acid bat-teries (ULABs) from companiesfor proper recycling and produc-tion of new automotive and in-dustrial batteries. Funds generat-ed from this project are used toimprove basic education in thePhilippines through provision oftext/workbooks, teachers’ train-ing, reading camps, supplemen-tal feeding, and support to thePres.

Great monster

The opening scene in Godzil-la takes place somewhere in thePhilippines in 1999. See themovie in a good theater so youcan hear clearly a few voicesspeak in Tagalog.

In the movie, a monsteremerging from deep in theearth in the Philippines gestatesfor many years in a nuclearplant in Japan, where theAmerican Joe Brody (BryanCrantson) works as a specialist.Joe loses his wife Sandra (Juli-ette Binoche) in an accident inthe nuclear plant, caused, at thetime unknown to the humans,by the gestating monster. Sincethen, Joe has devoted his timeto search for answers why theaccident happened.

Fifteen years later, the mon-ster wakes up and wreaks havocin Tokyo. As the humans scram-ble to defeat the monster, a sec-ond MUTO (Massive Unidenti-fied Terrestrial Object) appearsand wreaks havoc in the US.Scientist Dr. Serizawa (KenWatanabe) leads the human ef-fort to control the menace usinginformation collected by Joe.Joe’s soldier son, Ford (AaronTaylor-Johnson) joins the mili-tary charge. Just when thingslook hopeless for the humans, athird monster awakens from thePacific to fight the MUTOs. Thatthird daikaiju (great monster) isGodzilla.

This Godzilla is a differentGodzilla from the Japanese To-ho versions for a few reasons.First, I like the old Gojiramovies because they usuallyhad strong female charactersin the story. Because this newone is from Hollywood, thelead is male. Tsh.

The movie’s weaknessis with its lead character,Ford and the actor por-traying him.There’s littleto latch on Ford’s charac-ter, there's nothing toroot for him whether helives or dies—the more emo-tional story is with Joe. Taylor-Johnson looks miscast as alead—his screen presence isn'tstrong enough.

The movie itself is a little flat—it doesn't build up to an excit-ing monster battle in the cli-max. It just isn’t as fun as theother recent kaiju movie, PacificRim. Godzilla looks great,though, design and effects-wise.

Also, the Japanese movieshas Godzilla as a bad guy.There's a reason for this—be-cause every time Godzillaemerged to destroy cities, itbrought out the strength andresilience from humans, whowere to blame for the menacein the first place. Kind of likekarma.

This movie makes the lord ofmonsters a superhero. Tsh.

I ’m both happy and sad for this edition of the kingof monsters. Happy, because it is Godzilla. Sad, be-cause it’s not the same Godzilla from Japan, char-

acteristically speaking.

‘Banaue’ at the CCP on May 17

THIS movie version says Godzilla was made in the Philippines.

WE used to know Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the costumed hero Kick Assin the movie movie of the same name. He plays soldier here.

Mixers hangad titulo;Black humiling sa refsNi Musong R. Castillo

MAGANDA ang mga ala-ala niSan Miguel Coffee coach TimCone sa Game 3 na kabaligta-ran sa saloobin ni Talk ‘N Textcoach Norman Black.

Lumapit sa titulo ang Mixersmatapos ungusan ang TropangTexters, 77-75, nitong nakara-ang Martes upang kunin ang 2-1 agwat sa PBA Commissioner’sCup best-of-five title series.

Nanatiling kalmado si Black.“I just hope that the game is

governed well, to give us a fairchance of winning,” sabi niBlack. “I just think that contactsshould be called evenly on bothends. If you call fouls on oneteam, the same should be calledon the other end. It’s for thefairness of the game.

“They (referees) stopped

calling fouls on San Mig afterthey (Mixers) picked up theirfifth (team foul) in the fourthquarter,” sabi ni Black.

Kung mananalo ang Mixersay patitibayin ang dominasyonng Mixers ngayong dekada.

“It has been years since we lastplayed there,” sabi ni Cone nahangad ang ika-17 korona. “I’vehad some good memories there.”

Ngunit sinabi ni Cone namatagumpay din si Black saPhilsports Arena. “Norman(Black, the Talk ‘N Text coach)also has good memories there.He won his Grand Slam (withSan Miguel Beer) there.”

Upang mapigilan ang ratsadang Mixers kailangang ibalik niBest Import Richard Howell anglupit ng kanyang opensa. May10 puntos si Howell sa Game 3.

Matindi ang kombinasyon ni-na James Yap at Peter June SI-mon samantalang mahirap lusu-tan si Marc Pingris.

Hangad ng Mixers ang ikat-long sunod tropeo.
