Today, 98 Million Filipinos will mourn on a death of a king; Philippines' King of Comedy Rodolfo Vera Quizon also known by all as "Dolphy".




Rodolfo Vera Quizon, Sr., OGH, (July 25, 1928 - July 10, 2012) known by his screen name Dolphy, was a Filipino comedian-actor in the Philippines. He was widely regarded as the Philippines' "King of Comedy" for his comedic talent embodied by his long roster of works on stage, radio, television and movies.

June 12, 2012 is holiday in the Philippines as declared under Proclamation No. 295 - List of Philippine Holidays 2012 signed by President Benigno Noynoy Aquino on November 24, 2011. Because of this, there is no need for a separate holiday declaration for June 12, 2012.

In the Philippines, Independence Day (Filipino: Araw ng Kalayaan) is an annual national holiday observed on June 12, commemorating the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on June 12, 1898. It is the National Day of the Philippines.

The Philippine Declaration of independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in Cavite II el Viejo (now Kawit), Cavite, Philippines. With the public reading of the Act of the Declaration of independence, Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain, which had been recently defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.

The declaration, however, was recognized by neither the United States nor Spain. The Spanish government later ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War. The United States finally recognized Philippine independence on July 4, 1946 in the Treaty of Manila. July 4 was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until August 4, 1964 when, upon the advice of historians and the urging of nationalists, President Diosdado Macapagal signed into law Republic Act No. 4166 designating June 12 as the country's Independence Day. June 12 had previously been observed as Flag Day and many government buildings are urged to display the Philippine Flag in their offices.

Hooded gunmen murdered a family of four and their companion in Mindanao in what could be a dispute over land, military and police officials said yesterday.

Five gunmen burst into the house of a farming family in the troubled island of Mindanao late Saturday and shot dead a husband, his wife, their two adult sons and their friend, the local army spokesman said.

“The victims were all shot to death and one of the motives that authorities are investigating is a land dispute,” said Col. Noel de la Cruz without elaborating.

Over 62 empty shells from assault rifles were recovered from the scene, said a police statement, adding that the family’s money, their two chainsaws and even their groceries had been carried away.

Mindanao has long been the scene of brutal killings, bloody family feuds and bandit attacks.

The violence has been fuelled by the presence of numerous armed groups including communist insurgents, Muslim rebels and armed gangs who often work for political warlords. AFP

Former That’s Entertainment member and now ABS-CBN’s TV director Ricardo “Ricky” Rivero was stabbed by a guy he just met on Facebook.

Ricky Rivero, 39, sustained multiple stab wounds from alleged suspect Hans Ivan Ruiz inside his apartment at Masikap St., V. Luna, Barangay Pinyahan, Quezon City early this morning, according to a report by Philippine Entertainment Portal.

Barangay Pinyahan authorities said Rivero and the suspect have known each other for 5 months now through Facebook. It was only last night at around 11:00 p.m. that they finally decided to meet in person.

The actor/director allegedly brought Ruiz to his apartment where the incident happened. Police report said the suspect stabbed Rivero 10 times at around 3:00 a.m. this morning using a bread knife after the Rivero refused to give him money. The actor/director was able to run outside his apartment and call for help. Luckily, some bystanders brought him to the hospital.

The suspect, on the other hand, tried to escape with Rivero’s laptop and other belongings but came back to clean the crime scene. Authorities found the knife that the suspect used inside a fire truck at the Barangay Hall.

Rivero is currently being treated at the Philippine Heart Center while the Quezon City police was able to arrest the suspect.

The mysteries of the Order of the Knights Templar could soon be laid bare after the Vatican announced the release of a crucial document which has not been seen for almost 700 years.

A new book, Processus contra Templarios, will be published by the Vatican's Secret Archive on Oct 25, and promises to restore the reputation of the Templars, whose leaders were burned as heretics when the order was dissolved in 1314.

The Knights Templar were a powerful and secretive group of warrior monks during the Middle Ages. Their secrecy has given birth to endless legends, including one that they guard the Holy Grail.

Recently, they have been featured in films including The Da Vinci Code and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
