Episode on November 6, 2010 Saturday after Jejemom! Fliptop Battle Photobucket Balagtasan used to dwell on issues about love and politics in poetic fashion. However, as time passed, this tradition eventually became forgotten. Good thing that today, a group of young men decided to incorporate the concept of balagtasan through… rap! But instead of discussing issues about life and love, they use this as a means of insulting each other! This Saturday, brace yourselves as we discover the world of fliptop! Bongga Ka Day! Photobucket It was not long ago, when former matinee idol Rustom Padilla shocked the whole entertainment industry when he introduced himself as Bebe Gandanghari! Now, former reel and real life partner of celebrity Mahal, confessed that he is no longer called Jimboy… but it is more appropriate to call him as Jimgirl! In Hollywood , other high profile celebrities also came out in the open with their sexuality --- Neil Patrick Harris, Clay Aiken, and even Ricky Martin! Is going “out" the next “in" thing? Morquio’s Syndrome Photobucket 12-year old Kenneth is getting big too fast --- literally. His body is getting bigger by the day, but his height remains small. He cannot stand or walk on his own and his lungs are bloated. He also cannot breathe on his own that’s why a tube was inserted through his throat. Kenneth is suffering from Morquio’s Syndrome --- a rare type of dwarfism. Eyes Eyes Baby! Photobucket Eyeglasses are common accessories for people with poor eyesight. But if you want convenience, you can buy contact lenses. However, it used to cost a lot! But these past few years, some contact lenses become affordable. And there are now a wide array of colors and designs to choose from. These accessories cannot only be found in tiangges, but they are now also sold in Facebook!
Fliptop Battle Sa mga balagtasan noon, mga usaping puso at mga isyu ng bayan ang madalas na pinagtatalunan sa paraang patula. Subalit unti-unting nabaon sa limot ang tradisyong ito. Pero kamakailan lang, muli raw binuhay ng ilang mga kabataan ang konsepto ng balagtasan. Ngunit sa halip na magdebate tungkol sa iba’t ibang paksa, nag-iinsultuhan sila nang patula at sinasabayan pa ng pagra-rap! Ito ang pinakauso raw na paraan ngayon ng pagdya-jamming --- fliptop! Bongga Ka Day! Parang kailan lang, ginulat tayo ni Rustom Padilla nang nagpakilala siya bilang si Bebe Gandanghari. Ngayon naman, ang dating ka-loveteam at nobyo raw ni Mahal ang pinakabagong nagladlad ng kapa… si Jimboy… na Jimgirl na raw ngayon! Pati nga sa Hollywood , sunod-sunod na ring umamin sa kanilang tunay na sekswalidad ang mga tinitiliang matinee idol, mula kay Neil Patrick Harris, Clay Aiken at Ricky Martin! In na in na nga ba ang pag-a-out ngayon? Morquio’s Syndrome Ang dose anyos na si Kenneth, tila lobong hinihipan sa bilis nang paglaki ng kanyang katawan, pero hindi naman siya tumatangkad. Malubha ring apektado ang kanyang mga buto kaya hindi siya makatayong mag-isa o makalakad man lang. Namamaga rin ang kanyang baga, dahilan para mahirapan siyang huminga. Dahil dito, kinakailangang butasin ang kanyang lalamunan para daanan ng hangin mula sa isang ventilator. Isa lamang si Kenneth sa mga iilang may Morquio’s Syndrome sa bansa, isang mailap na klase ng dwarfism. Eyes Eyes Baby! Para luminaw ang nanlalabong mga mata, gumagamit tayo ng salamin. Hanggang mauso ang mga contact lens na noong una, pagkamahal-mahal! Pero pagkalipas lang ng ilang taon, may mga mabibili ng mga abot-kayang contact lens na merong iba’t-ibang disenyo at kulay. At ngayon, mabibili na rin daw ito hindi lang sa mga tiangge… kundi maging sa Facebook!
