Based on the interviews on both parties between the celebrity couple (Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto) and Journalist Ramon Tulfo, it is still hard to decide who is telling the truth. According to Claudine and Raymart it was Mr. Tulfo who started hitting Claudine. But why would somebody like Mon Tulfo hit a lady such as Claudine Barretto without any reason? Even a person who doesn’t know about the celebrity status of Claudine wouldn’t want to harm such beauty, unless she started hitting Tulfo.

According to Mon Tulfo he was taking pictures of Claudine while shouting and cursing at the ground crew member of the Cebu Pacific Airline over a misplaced baggage of the celebrity who was from Boracay. Raymart saw Tulfo and then tried to grab his cellphone to delete the pictures, but Mr. Tulfo was reluctant to give his cellphone then Raymart started using force and the brawl started as we have seen on the video.

So who is telling the truth here? Both parties are saying they didn’t start the fight. The people who were on the site during the incident can only tell what happened, because it is hard to believe on both parties. Let the witnesses speaks or better yet let the CCTV video be revealed.

MANILA, Philippines – Actor Raymart Santiago and journalist Mon Tulfo got into a fist fight Sunday afternoon at the arrival area of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.

In an interview with dzMM, Tulfo said he just arrived from Davao onboard a Cebu Pacific flight when he saw a familiar face at the arrival area reprimanding a flight attendant.

“Nasa arrival area na ako, palabas na ako ng arrival area tapos may napansin akong magandang babae. Namumukhaan ko, maganda siya eh. Hindi ko naman siya nakilala. Pinagalitan ang ground stewardess ng Cebu Pacific,” he said.

Tulfo said he later on recognized that it was Santiago’s wife, actress Claudine Barretto, who was scolding the airport staff.

“Nag-sympathize ako sa kanya dahil sabi ko, tingnan mo nga naman itong Cebu Pacific bakit naman ganooon. Marami na kasing insidente itong Cebu Pacific naging inefficient sa cargo ng mga pasahero. Kaya sabi ko buti nga,” he said.

Tulfo said he then decided to take a photo of Barretto through his camera when he heard that Barretto was already cursing the stewardess.

“Noong nakita ko na minumura na niya ang pobreng babae na mangiyak-ngiyak, ipatatanggal daw niya sa trabaho, kinunan ko ng litrato ng cellphone. Gusto ko sanang sabihin na ‘Cool ka lang, iyan namang babae, wala namang kasalanang personal sa iyo bakit mo naman minumura,’” he said.

Tulfo, however, said he was caught off guard after Santiago approached him and was forcefully trying to grab his cellphone.

“Noong nilagay ko ang cellphone ko sa vest ko… nakita nung si Raymart Santiago. Pilit niyang kinukuha ang cellphone ko. Sabi niya, ‘Bakit ka kumukuha?’ Magpapakilala sana ako kaya lang nung pilit na niyang kinukuha ang cellphone ko, tinulak ko siya sabi ko wala kang karapatan na kunin ang cellphone ko. Doon nag-umpisa ang kaguluhan,” he said.

Tulfo said several people approached him and a punch landed on his face that’s why he decided to fight back.

“Habang sinasangga ko ang mga suntok nila dahil marami sila, minumura pa ako. Ako na ang binalingan ni Claudine Barretto ng galit niya. Minumura mura na ako. Tinamaan ako eh. Noong tinamaan ako sa may mata, nagdilim na ang paningin ko,” he said.

Tulfo said it took a while before airport authorities responded to stop the brawl.

Airport authorities are currently conducting an investigation over the incident.

The recently failed rocket missile launch of North Korea drew attention before its launch because analysts has been saying that the missile test was a disguise and it is not to put a weather satellite into orbit but a military operation. It actually threatens security of some countries like the South Korea, US and other US Allies countries.

A lot believe the launch was designed to enhance its capacity to design a ballistic missile armed with a nuclear warhead capable of hitting the U.S. The trajectory of which appeared to be towards the Philippines and Australia (two countries not allied with China) and with the exact same distance of the South Korean capital from launch point.

According the US military NORAD, the failed rocket test on the 13th of April, 2012 was of a Taepodong-2 missile.

Taepodong-2′s first stage is a Musudan-1 “Mobile” 4,000 km MRBM, based on the Soviet R-27submarine launched ballistic missile. NATO assigned the missile the reporting name SS-N-6 Serb.

Around 2007 North Korea claims to have deployed 12 to 18 of this missile and showed them in military parades. Iran acquired 18 Musudan-1 missiles from the DPRK in 2005.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said North Korea’s rocket launch was a provocative act that left the nation isolated and in violation of international law:

“Despite the failure of its attempted missile launch, the action threatens security, violates international law and contravenes its own recent commitments.”

“While this action is not surprising given North Korea’s pattern of aggressive behavior, any missile activity is of concern to the international community.”

“The United States remains vigilant in the face of North Korean provocations, and is fully committed to the security (of) our allies in the region.”

Pyongyang denied it was a missile test in disguise and maintained the mission failed to put a weather satellite into orbit. It said its scientists were assessing what had caused the rocket to explode over the Yellow Sea.

With the failure of the missile launch, the US slammed the launch attempt and said North Korea’s leaders should be providing for the nation’s impoverished people instead of wasting resources.

It immediately suspended plans to deliver food aid and warned North Korea that it was “further isolating itself by engaging in provocative acts” and “aggressive behavior”.

Jay Carney, a White Housespokesman, said: “North Korea’s provocative action threatens regional security, violates international law and contravenes its own recent commitments.”

The North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad) said it tracked the Taepo Dong-2 missile after its launch.

The first stage fell into the sea 103 miles west of the South Korea capital Seoul, and the remainder of the satellite-carrying missile was deemed to have failed.

Norad said no debris fell on land and at no time was the missile or debris deemed a threat.

Officials in Seoul said the rocket broke into pieces and crashed a few minutes after take-off.

Japan reported similar details.

“At approximately 07:40 we confirmed that a certain flying object was launched from North Korea and fell after flying for just over a minute,” Japanese Defence Minister Naoki Tanaka said.

It is a big embarrassment for the North Korean leadership, specially because the North Korea invited up to 200 foreign journalists to Pyongyang for the launch and the weekend-long commemorations, the largest number of overseas media ever welcomed in to the reclusive state.

Better luck next time NK!

Fortunately, the judges used their about-to-expire ‘save card‘ of the season to keep her in the competition.

Randy Jackson said: We are saving Jessica without any doubt… This girl is one of the best singers in AMERICA EVER!

Check out Jennifer Lopez’ reaction… Priceless!

But seriously!!! Jessica Sanchez got the lowest vote? How could you American Idol fans did not vote for the best singer of this AI season? Unbelievable results and that is a very big disappointment!

Now I should say that becoming a winner in American Idol is not about talent but it is all about race, color, face value and popularity. Jessica Sanchez is no doubt a good and talented contestant in this season of American Idol. But because she is not a full American in blood people are not voting for her thus making her got the lowest vote? I am not against the other contestants but comparing their talent of singing with Jessica is incomparable.

This is a singing competition and the best singer should win.

Go! Fight! Win! Jessica Sanchez!

Check out this video of her performance:

Who would think that kind of performance will send her to the bottom 3?

Unbelievable!
