March 16, 1521 Magellan Discovered the Philippine Island

Today is the 490th year anniversary of the epic war between Ferdinand Magellan and Lapu-lapu. As my anniversary present let me show you the song of Mr. Yoyoy Villame entitled "Magellan" (its not the real music video but its quiet funny it looks more entertaining) if you wanna see the original video of the song just visit www.youtube.com. For now lets enjoy this, I've included the lyrics below.

On March 16, 1521
when Philippines Was Discovered By Magellan
they Were Sailing Day And Night Across The Big Ocean
until They Saw A Small Limasawa Island

magellan Landed In Limasawa At Noon
the People Met Him Very Welcome On The Shore
they Did Not Understand The Speaking They Have Done
because Kastila Gid At Waray-Waray Man

when Magellan Landed In Cebu City
rajah Humabon Met Him, They Were Very Happy
all People Were Baptized And Built The Church Of Christ
and That's The Beginning Of Our Catholic Life

when Magellan Visited In Mactan
to Christianize Them Everyone
but Lapu-Lapu Met Him On The Shore
and Drive Magellan To Go Back Home

then Magellan Got So Mad
ordered His Men To Camouflage
?mactan Island We Could Not Grab
'cause Lapu Lapu Is Very Hard?

then The Battle Began At Dawn
bolos And Spears Versus Guns And Cannons
when Magellan Was Hit On His Neck
he Stumble Down And Cried And Cried

oh, Mother Mother I Am Sick
call The Doctor Very Quick
doctor, Doctor Shall I Die?
tell My Mama Do Not Cry
tell My Mama Do Not Cry
tell My Mama Do Not Cry

that's The End Of Magellan
in The Island Of Mactan Long Time Ago
ladies And Gentlemen  

CEBU - American detained after taking video of 7 topless girl

CEBU CITY, Philippines - An American national was caught in the act on Sunday afternoon taking videos of 7 girls, all topless while wrestling in Daanbantayan town in Cebu province.

Officials of Barangay Malbago in Daanbantayan said they first saw the foreigner with the girls whom they thought were all minors while they were putting up a tent in a vacant lot in the mountain barangay.

Barangay Tanods responded and went to check the report. They caught the foreigner taking video of the 7 girls inside the tent. They later reported the incident to the police. 

Chief Inspector Rusty Santos of Daanbantayan Police Station investigated the incident. 

Santos identified the American national as Joseph Christian Bogo through his passport. The police official said that Bogo arrived in Cebu this February. He has been in the Philippines several times since 2009.

Santos also found out that 3 of the 7 girls were minors aged 14, 16, and 17 years old. The 3 girls said that they are from Pasil in Cebu City.

The 4 other girls told police that they were of legal age and they came from Bogo City. Police said they have yet to verify the information.

Police were able to recover from Bogo a mini-DV cartridge and the video camera he used to record the topless girls. 

Bogo said that he knew the girls and they were all friends saying that what they did was just for fun. He said that he calls the video as “catfight, topless girls wrestling”.

But the minors said that a certain “Sheryl” from Pasil recruited them. They said they were paid P2,000 to do the catfight. Another P1,500 would reportedly be given to the girl who wins the fight. Police are still looking for “Sheryl.”

Bogo said that the video is only for his consumption. Bogo admitted that he works as a blogger but said he does not intend to post the video in his blog. He said that he travels from place to place and blogs about them. 

Santos said he also saw in the video a woman whom Bogo identifies as his girlfriend. Bogo said that they are planning to get married this May.

The victims were all taken to the Regional Office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development  in Region 7. 

Bogo is currently detained at the Daanbantayan Detention Cell. Police said they plan to file trafficking in persons charge against Bogo at Bogo City Regional Trial Court.

Santos said that they have already informed the US embassy regarding the incident so Bogo can  be provided with a lawyer. 

Bogo also said that he has already informed his family in the US regarding the incident.
