Eat Bulaga Indonesia

Mukhang masaya naman ang Eat Bulaga Indonesia, ang franchise ng Philippine longest running noon-time gameshow Eat Bulaga!



Eat Bulaga Indonesia features the same segments of the original Eat Bulaga including Pinoy Henyo and Juan (One) For All! All For Juan (One). They even have a host that's very similar to Allan K.



One big difference between the two shows- the Indonesian version has less tits and ass, the dancers are way too modest by Pinoy standards. If you find it strange that there's no visceral dry humping dance moves or shaking funbags for lunchtime fare... well it is an Islamic country. I guess the Indonesians don't need dancers flashing their panties and camel toes just for entertainment's sake, they get enough kicks with Indonesian Pintar at best.

Wish Ruby Rodriguez and Wally could guest host and be part of the new Bulagang :)

Call Center Agent Steals Model's Identity on Facebook

A Call Center agent was arrested in a sting operation at Western Union, after she was caught receiving money from an Australian man she conned through the social networking site Facebook. The suspect, call center agent- Louella Tan, created a fake Facebook account using photographs of Fil-Norwegian model Janka Cederstam.


Si ateh feel na feel bah maging model... we can all look sexy on Facebook! :p

Cederstam filed a complaint with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) against the identity thief. Tan was arrested by the NBI Technical Investigation Division while she was collecting the money sent by the Australian.

“Nag-create siya ng new account, binago ang name pero pinalitaw na same person. Dahil maganda ang nasa picture, maraming nag-add as friends. Eventually had a relationship with this Australian national. ‘Yung Australian national naman, believing na may online relationship sila, was enticed to send money via Western Union dito sa Pilipinas,” said Palmer Mallari, chief of the NIB’s Technical Investigation Division.

More on the case on ABS-CBN news site and Philstar.com

Statement from Janka Cederstam's Facebook about the identity theft case:
Finally got some justice done! Finally caught the poser, played by the name of Jen Matheson (her real name is Louela Tan). Stealing pictures from people and using them to get money from men is a CRIME, it's called Identity Theft; It puts mine and my family's reputation at stake! I'll start deleting 'friends' on FB, will just keep those I'm actually close to as I see my photos on different websites even though it is set on private. To all the posers out there, stop doing what you're doing because you will get caught and brought to JAIL, just like this chick who we tracked for 3 and a half weeks now. Tomorrow we are going to court and finally getting this overwith..

Manila Mall Kidnapping Attempt Viral on Facebook

Now Viral on Facebook

Parents beware! There are kidnappers on the look out for targets at our malls. This is a post from a local doctor, there was an attempted kidnapping on his son at the mall's gaming area:

Yesterday afternoon, my wife, son and Yaya went to buy some groceries at Puregold, Sucat and while my wife was lining up to pay, Yaya and my son went to the “Funhouse” arcade near the food court. While my son was playing with a video game, a suspicious bald man, around 5’10”, with medium built and decent clothing approached yaya and was instructing her to give a piece of paper to my wife and leave my son with him. Yaya refused to follow his instruction so he insisted by bribing her with money. She continued to refuse with a louder voice which drew attention so the man walked away. She immediately told my wife what happened and when they were about to go home, they saw him exiting the supermarket. Before they could point him out, he got into his car and drove away.



We reported the incident and they allowed us to view their surveillance cams. There we clearly saw that from the time yaya and my son entered the arcade, the man kept following them at a certain distance. Before he approached them, he made a phone call and started to converse with yaya.



Please take extra caution when you’re out with your children. Always keep them close where you can see them…no matter where you are. Beware of kidnappers!
