Bella Flores is a Pinoy icon. There’s absolutely no doubt about that. For decades, she was one of the go-to villainnesses in Pinoy films. She wreaked her own special brand of onscreen havoc from the 1950s to 2011. She never seemed to grow old and looked like she could keep cackling her way to the next millenium. She always gave a go-for-broke performance in all of her villainous outings. We loved her for it and we also loved her because we knew she was nothing like the evil characters she played so well. Her family members, neighbors, and friends described her as a soft-spoken and friendly woman.

The real winners of the 2013 Senatorial Elections have to be fans of Da King, as his presence graced us quite persistently during his daughter’s campaign. We have to keep things exciting now that Madam Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago is making an exit so I hope she keeps her promise of Tatak FPJ. I’m looking forward to hearing his movies being quoted on the senate floor. This line from Aguila rings in my ears, “Huwag mo na linlangin ang sarili mo, anak. Hindi ako ang hinahanap mo sa kabuuan ng iyong paglalakbay. Ang tunay na hinahanap mo ay kahulugan.”
What about us? What are we looking for this season?

Cramming for the elections? We hope not. Live debates have been held and candidate cards are available all over the web so by now, you should have read up on the candidates battling it out for your vote.
What we’ll do now is give you a quick guide in numbers. For starters, you should know the basics. You get to vote for 12 Senators, 1 Party List, 1 Representative, 1 Mayor, 1 Vice Mayor; check your ballot for the number of Sangguniang Panglungsod (Councilors) you’re supposed to pick. You should also search for the party list you want to vote for in the Comelec’s database to see if they haven’t been disqualified.
