Yes, ABS-CBN has come a long way.

Yet in all those months and years we have refused to claim that we are number one.

Because we believe that if we deserve the honor, others shall speak for us.

And they have spoken.

In the last Star Awards, ABS-CBN was given 28 awards including the plum award for BEST TV STATION.

But the honor is not ours to keep. We bring back the glory to him... and to you, our friends who have been with us through the years. Maraming Salamat Po!

BOC-Clark crushes 7 machines, fake cigarette master cases

Customs officials on Monday destroyed several units of smuggled cigarette manufacturing machines, fake cigarette master cases and other packaging materials at the Port of Clark.

In a statement, the Bureau of Customs said seven units of cigarette-making machines, one plastic recycling machine, one manual lifter, one generator set, and one generator cooling system were crushed by a backhoe.

The items were seized last February 19 and forfeited last July 26 for violation of Section 1113 (f) and (l) of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA).

The BOC said the activity sends a strong message to smugglers to stop their illegal business practices, shortchanging the government of the rightful revenues.

The destruction was witnessed by Port of Clark personnel led by District Collector Ruby Alameda, representatives from the Ports Operations Service, National Tobacco Corporation, Commission on Audit, Japan Tobacco International (Philippines) Inc. and Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco Corp. (PMFTC).

On the other hand, the Port of Clark is set to destroy two sets of cigarette manufacturing machines, one set semi-automatic strapping machine, plastic shredding facility, 145 cigarette master cases, packaging materials, and tax stamps on Tuesday.

The same were seized last March 5, 2018 and forfeited last August 6 for violation of Section 118 and 1113 (f) and (l) of the CMTA, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Law, National Tobacco Administration (NTA) Circular No. 3-2014, BOC Memorandum Circular No. 15-2015 and 20-2006 and BIR Revenue Regulation No. 1-97.

Happy birthday, Deo!

That’s me (third from left) with (from left) Carlo Katigbak, Connie Lopez, Shirley Kuan, Mother Lily Monteverde, Sen. Grace Poe, the celebrator Deo Endrinal, Susan Roces, MTRCB chairperson Rachel Arenas, Roselle Monteverde, Freddie Garcia and Mark Lopez.

He’s the genius behind Dreamscape, the business unit of ABS-CBN that produces teleserye hits like Ang Probinsyano, And I Love You So, My Super D, Born For You, Till I Met You, My Dear Heart, Ikaw Lang ang Iibigin, The Promise of Forever, Asintado, The Blood Sisters, Since I Found You, Kadenang Ginto, Hiwaga ng Kambat, Sino ang Maysala?: Mea Culpa, Parasite Island, Sandugo, Starla, and the recently-concluded The General’s Daughter, among many others. He’s known in showbiz circles as “DTE” or simply,“Deo.” Deo Endrinal is a multi-gifted individual who dabbles as a restaurateur (he owns Terrace Manila along Mother Ignacia St.), creates beautiful flower arrangements, and is a party host par excellence. And every year on his birthday, Nov. 8, he throws a party to celebrate the gift of another year of life.

This year, Deo outdid himself again. The dinner he hosted at the penthouse number 33 of The Peak, Grand Hyatt Manila was for friends who have a low tolerance for loud music and prefer intimate get-togethers. Of course, the floral centerpieces were amazing! Gracing the dinner were ABS-CBN executives Mark Lopez (chairman), Carlo Katigbak (president) and Cory Vidanes (COO for broadcast). Recent ICON awardee Freddie Garcia was there, too, as were Regal Films matriarch Mother Lily Monteverde and daughter Roselle, screen legend Susan Roces and daughter Sen. Grace Poe, MTRCB chairperson Rachel Arenas and fashion designer Paul Cabral. Also in attendance were guests Martin Nievera, Ogie Alcasid, Johnny Manahan and Mariole Alberto, Leo Katigbak, Law Tan, Perry Lansingan, Keren Pascual, Girlie Rodis, Korina Sanchez, Margot Torres, Arnold Vegafria, JB Baylon, Sen. Pia Cayetano, House Speaker and Taguig-Pateros Rep. Alan Peter and Taguig Rep. Lani Cayetano, Taguig Mayor Lino Cayetano, former Taguig mayor Freddie Tinga and first lady Kaye Tinga; Tessa Prieto-Valdes and hubby Dennis, Philippine Daily Inquirer president Sandy Romualdez; Millet Mananquil; Mons Romulo and brother Pasig Rep. Roman Romulo, Management Association of the Philippines president Riza Mantaring, Sun Life Philippines president Benedicto Sison and Jorge Carino and Daisy May Carino.

For those who didn’t mind loud music and a livelier vibe, the after-dinner party at the bar of the same hotel was rocking by 9 p.m. Food and drinks overflowed and guests continued to pour in. By 11 p.m., the stars started jamming. There were song numbers from Randy Santiago, Ian Veneracion, Agot Isidro, Jhong Hilario, Eula Valdez, Ayen and Franco Laurel, Sunshine Cruz, Tirso Cruz III, John Arcilla, Christopher de Leon, Paulo Avelino, Denise Laurel, Yassi Pressman, Maja Salvador and Daniel Padilla. It was fun seeing everyone singing and dancing the night away. But it was Deo who clearly looked the happiest. After all, he was celebrating the gift of another precious year with people he works with who have become like family. Happy, happy birthday, Deo!

Happy Birthday to the Head of Dreamscape Entertainment, Sir Deo Endrinal! We wish you Magandang Buhay! 💛
