Sam Milby to Undergo Military Training for 'Muling Buksan Ang Puso'

Although he just came from a mall show in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Sam Milby still managed to attend the PMPC Stars For A Cause held at SM Skydome last Sunday, September 18. He performed the song “Hindi Kita Iiwan,” which is also the carrier single from his latest album entitled Be Mine. “Ang ganda ng bagong album ko kasi puro originals tapos dalawang remake lang—‘All My Life’ na theme song sa movie namin ni KC Concepcion at ‘And I Love You So’ na ginamit sa movie namin noon ni Bea Alonzo. Si Jonathan Manalo ang sumulat ng ‘Hindi Kita Iiwan.’ I am very happy kasi malakas sa radyo at balita ko nag-number one recently sa isang record bar.”

Sam further shared with Push.com.ph that one of his original compositions was included in his album. Asked if it was inspired by a past relationship, the Rockoustic Heartthrob said that he’d rather keep mum about it. “May isang song akong sinulat, ‘Pushing Me Away’ yung title. Bakit kailangan [may pinanggalingan]? Basta sa akin na lang yun. Nakaisip kasi ako ng melody at lyrics, chorus pa lang yun, two years ago. So nung nalaman ko na kailangan ng original song for this album, sabi ko, ‘Shoot! Baka pwede yung ginawa ko.’ So I worked on it.”

Aside from his new album, Sam is slated to star in the teleserye Muling Buksan Ang Puso together with some of the hottest ABS-CBN stars. Apparently, he has to undergo military training for his newest TV role. “Alam ko three months ago dapat nag-start na kami mag-taping ng Alta right after nung movie namin ni KC. Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit may delay. Siguro dahil busy sa ibang shows and revisions ng script. We’re just waiting pa rin pero alam ko tuloy. I’ve already done a workshop with Direk Laurice (Guillen). At ang ang alam ko kaming boys, mag-mi-military training kami. That's going to be something new for me.”

In the meantime, Sam is making the most out of his short break from primetime TV since he has some family members currently vacationing in the country. “Sa pagkakaalam ko mag-start kami mag-taping in October. Mabuti na rin yun kasi malaking soap yun and nandito pa yung ate ko at pamangkin ko sa Pilipinas. At least I have more time to spend with them habang hindi pa ako busy ulit sa paggawa ng teleserye. Sobrang happy ako na kasama yung pamangkin ko sa bahay. Kaya minsan kahit na puyat ako galing work, mas gusto ko pa rin makipaglaro sa kanya. Dahil in a few weeks’ time babalik na ulit sila sa States.”

Bernadette Sembrano Champions Unsung Heroes

Sa pagbaba ng kalidad ng edukasyon sa bansa, hindi maiiwasang matuon ang pansin sa mga gurong kumakayod na magturo kahit na nagkukulang ang kanilang benepisyo at sahod.

Palaisipan din kung nagagampanan pa ba nila nang maigi ang kanilang papel sa eskwela gayong napakalaki ng kanilang hinahawakang klase. Mayroon lamang limangdaang libong guro sa mga pampublikong paaralan para sa dalawampung milyong estudyante mula kinder hanggang sekundarya.

Ngayong Huwebes (Sep 20) sa “Krusada,” ikakampanya ni Bernadette Sembrano ang tamang pagkilala sa mga guro upang maibigay ng pamahalaan ang mga benepisyong nararapat para sa kanila.

Kilalanin si Teacher Tedora Conde, awardee ng Metrobank Foundation bilang Outstanding Teacher sa 44 na taon niya sa pagtuturo. Sa kanyang nakamit na parangal, gaano pa nito pinagtitibay ang kanyang dedikasyon sa pagtuturo?

Samantala, ang gurong si Marilyn Bartolome naman, halos walang matira sa kanyang karampot na sinasahod dahil sa dami ng utang na kailangang bayaran. Ano ang motibasyon ng mga gurong doble kung kumayod na magturo, gayong kakarampot lang ang kanilang sinasahod?

Kakapanayamin din ni Bernadette sina Benjo Basas, chairman ng Teachers’ Dignity Coalition at Asec. Tonisito Umali ng DepEd upang malaman kung hindi ba o paano binibigyan-pansin ng pamahalaan ang mga pangangailangan ng mga guro.

Dahil ang tunay na paninindigan ay hindi puro salita lamang, makinig at makiisa sa “Krusada” ni Bernadette Sembrano ngayong Huwebes (Sep 22) pagkatapos ng “Bandila” sa ABS-CBN o sa mas maagang pag-ere nito sa DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable Ch. 26), 9:15 ng gabi.
