MOVIE REVIEW: "Nakalimutan Ko Nang Kalimutan Ka" Mixes 'Hugot' And Humor With Jarring Results
by Jayson Laniba
Filipinos will never run out of 'hugot.' This is proven by Fifth Solomon's directorial debut "Nakalimutan Ko Nang Kalimutan Ka," a romantic comedy starring Alex Gonzaga together with Vin Abrenica, Jerald Napoles and Candy Pangilinan. It also stars Rufa Mae Quinto, Jason Gainza, Alora Sasam, Joj Agpangan, Jai Agpangan, Ricci Chan, Juan Miguel Severo, Cai Cortez and Keiko Necesario, written by Fifth Solomon and produced by Wilbros Films.
The film follows Jaz Cruz (Alex Gonzaga) in her quest to find a way to forget all her memories with her ex-lover (played by Vin Abrenica). She comes across a mysterious clinic owned by Doctor Rolex (played by Candy Pangilinan) who promises to help her erase all memories of her ex by taking out her heart and replacing it with a new one through a surgery.
She changes her mind during the last minute because she's not ready to forget him yet. Her best friend/ vlogger (Jerald Napoles) tries to help her and takes her on a trip, hoping that this will somehow help her heal.
To start off, "Nakalimutan Ko Nang Kalimutan Ka" is quite hard to decode. It felt like a mash-up of different genres, from an absurb comedy to an indie romance flick. It's like a parody of past local hugot-filled romance flicks before, like 2015's "That Thing Called Tadhana" and last year's "I'm Drunk, I Love You".
I mean, traveling to someplace far from the city (with Bataan instead of Baguio) to forget the past and move on? And what's with those neon-colored lights everywhere they go? And how can I ignore those annoying product placements as if this was a Vic Sotto flick. To add it up, the whole film feels clunky as a whole. It felt like a series of sketches and gags stitched together to form one narrative that doesn't add up once you're done watching it.
Despite that, it's also one of the film's strengths. Though it doesn't work as a whole, it works better in parts. There are some really creative sequences that end up being truly hilarious, such as the stages of being heartbroken, as diagnosed by Doctor Rolex. The way they use humorous 'hugot' lines to elicit laughter was very effective. Director Fifth really knows his genre and masterfully weaves some very funny laugh out loud moments. His script is also full of unforgettable quotes about relationships and heartbreak, like "Kaya ganun kasakit, kasi ganun kasaya." The film is also packed with some really nice visuals, as expected since it features Bataan as one of its locations.
The film's biggest strength is its cast. There were some very funny moments featuring Rufa Mae Quinto, Ricci Chan and Toni Gonzaga. Candy Pangilinan's over-the-top portrayal of Doctor Rolex added some absurd comic touches to the story. Juan Miguel Severo's spoken word poetry gave a bit of serious 'hugot' to the film. But the biggest commendation is for the film's two leads, Alex Gonzaga and Jerald Napoles.
Alex Gonzaga was very effective in portraying the heartbroken Jaz. I must say that this just might be her best performance yet. Her timing was on point and proves her incredible talent for comedy. Jerald Napoles complemented her very well. Though their story wasn't fully realized, their chemistry together became the driving force for the film to work.
Though the film feels clunky as a whole, "Nakalimutan Ko Nang Kalimutan Ka" is still a very entertaining film with its fun mixture of humor and 'hugot.'

International Perspectives on Data Protection and its Relationship to Records Management
: Recommendations for Emerging Practice in the West Indies
Cherri-Ann Beckles
Student thesis: Doctoral Thesis › Doctor of Philosophy
In the new millennium, West Indian territories began embarking on the introduction of information rights legislation such as Freedom of Information (FoI) and Data Protection. However, this type of legislation is proving challenging for West Indian nation states to implement. This thesis investigates the challenges faced by West Indian territories as it relates to the implementation of data protection legislation and explores the idea that these challenges are as a result of their historical background and developmental trajectory. Additionally, the thesis considers the implications of data protection for West Indian societies and a contextual account is undertaken to explain why data protection as a concept is misinterpreted, misunderstood or unknown by policy-makers and the citizenry at large.
Moreover, the study seeks to understand and explore whether the sub-standard management of records and information compared with internationally accepted standards, at all levels of West Indian society could be seen as a significant obstacle to the introduction of information rights legislation, in particular, the implementation, regulation and enforcement of data protection. The thesis analyses whether there is an irrefutable link between data protection and records management and if a sound records management environment would provide the required stability for the successful implementation of data protection at all levels.
In seeking to inform emerging practice in the West Indies, this is the first multi-disciplinary study that examines the provisions for data protection in select international jurisdictions from a records management perspective. The jurisdictions selected for examination are two European Union Member States, Germany and the United Kingdom as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand where four distinct approaches for the implementation of data protection have been identified. The study examines the core principles, policies, procedures and practices in these four models for data protection using a comparative approach. Thereafter, principally qualitative data is extrapolated towards the development of a framework for the implementation of data protection in the West Indies with a view of data protection's relationship to records management.
The thesis first interrogates how and why data protection emerged as a public issue across the selected jurisdictions in order to establish the main drivers in these societies. It examines the relationship between data protection and the management of records and information, particularly as it relates to the administration and use of the personal data of citizens by public and private agencies. It explores how new trends and advances in technology impact on data protection and records management in today's digital world. Using the data gathered, it identifies the main drivers and obstacles for the West Indies as they relate to data protection implementation and finally, what issues are expected to arise with the implementation of data protection and the management of records and information in future that would affect regions similar to the West Indies. Additionally, the comparative research makes a case for key solutions, mechanisms and strategies that would prepare professionals working with records and information for how to deal with data protection implementation in an increasingly technological environment in the West Indies.

Dr. Paul Knoepfler, postdoc in the Basic Sciences Division laboratory of Dr. Bob Eisenmanm immunostains neuronal progenitor cells.
Scientists have long known that neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer of the nervous system, overproduces one form of Myc. Yet Myc's normal role in nerve and brain development has been unclear.
"Many labs have focused on Myc overproduction in neuroblastoma," said Dr. Paul Knoepfler, postdoc in the Eisenman lab.
"We thought, let's take a different approach and ask, what is Myc's function in establishment of the nervous system?"
To tackle this question, Knoepfler and staff associate Pei Feng Cheng used a strategy favored by geneticists: Take something away and see what happens.
The problem, Knoepfler said, is that mice can't survive without Myc, making it difficult to gain much insight by studying animals known as knockout mice that lack Myc entirely.
But new techniques permit researchers to shut off production of a protein of interest in a specific tissue or organ.
"This is a really powerful approach," he said. "It allowed us to conduct the first analysis of the normal function of any form of Myc in a developing organ system."
When Knoepfler examined mice whose nervous tissue lacked N-Myc, the predominant form of Myc expressed in the developing nervous system, he observed several abnormalities.
Most striking was a two-fold reduction in overall brain size in the Myc-deficient animals. The cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls motor function, was six times smaller in the mutant mice.
As a result, the mice were deficient in coordination and exhibited behavioral abnormalities such as excessive digging.
Knoepfler found that the reduced size of the cerebellum was likely due to a reduction in both the number and size of nervous-system progenitor cells, a group of dividing cells that spawn specialized (nondividing) cells characteristic of each part of the organ.
He suspects that loss of Myc in the nervous system forces the progenitor cells to prematurely differentiate, which results in a smaller pool of specialized cells.
The profound effects of Myc loss on the cerebellum have important implications for the study of a childhood cancer called medulloblastoma, which is thought to arise from cells in this part of the brain, Knoepfler said.
"If we can dissect out the Myc pathway," he said, "it may ultimately lead to strategies to compensate for abnormal Myc function in this type of cancer."


We've seen people driving down the highway on the rim of their wheel and guys substituting their rear wheels with a floor jack, but we've yet to see someone take a car on the freeway that has been demolished in every sense of the word. This is one of the cars from the horrific accidents they show you pictures of in Driver's Ed to scare you into staying under the speed limit. However, some genius took one of them that was somehow still "running" and decided that wherever he had to get to couldn't wait. When the cabin of your car basically doesn't exist, it's time to face facts and label it totaled, sir.
This mangled tenth generation Corolla only proves the fact that Toyotas don't die. I've known it since I was passed down a '97 Rav4 for my first car in high school. Convinced it was on its last legs, I looked forward to it finally dying so that my parents could start looking for another car. However, every time it wouldn't start it turned out to just be a replaceable belt, easily fixable battery connection or a bad plug wire. So although this guy's car may be virtually undrivable, someone needs to put out a warning to the rest of Pakistan's motorists because he won't be stopping anytime soon.
When you should've checked the Consumer Reports.


Corporate sites, social networks and video sharing web pages are very famous and heavy web pages that demand plenty of system resources to function. The more visitors a site is having simultaneously, the more resources will be demanded to manage all the requests from the users' web browsers and to process them. This is why a dedicated server would be the optimal hosting environment for such websites.
Buying a implies that you have a whole physical machine for your needs. Unlike the hosting services or the VPS solution where you share a server with a given number of other clients, with a dedicated hosting server you can make use of all the system resources for your web pages' demands.
There are different hosting server configurations that you can get. They vary in terms of the hardware specs they include - microprocessors, RAM quotas, hard disk drives, NICs, but they may also include a monthly traffic limitation. For a very popular web site, or if you would like to host several sites on a single web server, you may think of a more advanced configuration.
Typically, the web hosting companies supply varied architectures to satisfy the needs of their clients - from a low-end hosting server for one web page to a very avant-garde configuration that can tackle very popular web portals and 1000's of viewers at any particular moment. The CPU and disk storage quotas and the database connections can be confined solely by the web hosting server hardware itself.
One notable advantage of the dedicated hosting server over a shared web hosting plan is that you get full server root privileges, so you can install any software platform that you would like. Certain electronic commerce shopping cart scripts, for example, involve additional software that cannot be installed on a shared server as it would affect all the customers on it. With a dedicated server, you have full power to install anything. You can manage the server either by using the SSH network protocol, or via a web hosting Control Panel user interface. Here, you have an option again. You can avail of a web space hosting CP furnished by the web site hosting firm, or you can utilize your own one. Some widely used hosting Control Panel GUIs are cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin and H-Sphere. Some providers like Exclusive Hosting, for example, have their very own website hosting CP, which is built based on client tips and includes multi-domain hosting support. Certain web space hosting Control Panel interfaces are license-free (Hepsia), while others (cPanel) demand a monthly licence fee to utilize them.
Together with the possibility to host your very own domain name, a dedicated server gives you the opportunity to launch your very own hosting enterprise and to offer website hosting accounts to other individuals. Many web site hosting CP interfaces contain a hosting reseller administration software counterpart, so if you get an invoice transaction & support platform such as WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, you can establish your online business, offering an assortment of hosting accounts for your prospective clients. You can also offer technical support to your clients directly, and, since you have full root-level access, you can install software applications on demand, so your customers will be delighted with the service they receive.
Some web site hosting vendors also provide an extra paid administration solution, whereby the company's administrators will assist you with any predicament that you may experience with your dedicated hosting server - an OS update, a script installation, a troubleshooting operation, or any other problem that you may experience.
A dedicated web hosting server is the supreme web site hosting service if you are looking for a powerful and steady web hosting service without hassling about reaching any limitations. Whether you will host your own personal portals, or you are a site designer with a lot of clients and require web space for your work, or you want to earn some decent money by selling the server disk space to others, a dedicated hosting server will give you the power that no other website hosting account can.


Land-workers and food sovereignty activists are well aware that given the chance, peasants and rural people can create abundant and thriving local economies. Other aspects of China's rise, though, are more troubling to that narrative. Chen Yun famously described China's post-Mao economy as a 'birdcage', in which the free-flying and prosperity-generating bird of capitalism was kept to its proper bounds by a socialist cage. In modern China, the bird has long since flown the cage. This comes as no surprise to Marxists, who've always suspected that peasants are really either capitalists or landless wage-workers in disguise. But for agrarian thinkers who want to retain a notion of thriving but stable, non-capitalist rural economies, the question arises of how to come up with a better cage.
That implies a growth in farm employment elsewhere, and indeed there are 84 countries with a net increase in the number of people in farming, totalling 208 million people. The majority of these (161 million) are in sub-Saharan Africa, partly reflecting the strong population growth in that region but also reflecting its poverty. It's hard to preach an enticing vision of the 'peasant way' when the majority of people entering it are among the poorest on earth, and the majority of people exiting it live in a country that's hurtling along a capitalist path of self-enrichment.
More recently, as with other maturing capitalist powers, much Chinese wealth-creation has shifted out of industrialisation and into financialisation – particularly in relation to urban real estate. David Bandurski's fine book Dragons in Diamond Village traces how this works, through engaging stories of individual people fighting corrupt webs of city officials, party leaders, village heads and police officers.5 Bandurski analyses in detail the violent pressure that falls on collectively-held village land as it gets swallowed up by urbanisation. These 'urban villages' have typically become crowded residential city neighbourhoods housing poor rural migrant labourers – slums in other words – with the original villagers acting as petty landlords under predatory pressure to relinquish their rights to village land, and even to their own houses, for the purposes of property development or gentrification, with the proceeds pocketed higher up the political food chain.
"the role of the human being is minimised against the backdrop of a larger-than-life vision of the urban. A kind of urban mythology of the city as a place of dynamism and ultimately prosperity. You can see this readily in the propaganda around the city, which emphasises the modern fabric of the city—the skyscrapers, the monuments, the high-speed rail ..."
Who knows how this will all turn out. At present, the combination of rising (if poorly distributed) incomes and the growing authoritarianism of the Xi Jinping regime is keeping a lid on social unrest in China. Bandurski pronounces himself "not very optimistic about the prospects for land rights activism becoming a real political force in China".
It's hard to derive an optimistic message from the familiar stories here of hard-won agricultural knowledge easily lost, enrichment by enclosure, economic maldistribution, short-term money-making at the cost of long-term crisis, and the elusiveness of a gilded rather than an iron cage to contain the spirits of the market. Yet even now, China still has more people in farming than most industrialised countries, and a history of wrenching social transformation that may surprise the world again.
The challenge as I see it is that the world at large urgently needs to improve its hedges. This may not sound like the right conclusion in view of what we know about the enclosure of the commons. Personally though, I'm convinced that well-hedged (in every sense) private smallholdings, of the kind pioneered long ago in China, can still offer one of the more persuasive roadmaps out of the present morass.

Peace 'requires compromise,' Pence says at AIPAC
Pence said that Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt are "hard at work" on the Trump administration's peace plan.
By Michael Wilner
US Vice President Mike Pence Speaks at the annual conference of AIPAC (REUTERS)
WASHINGTON — A comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians will require compromise from both sides, US Vice President Mike Pence said on Monday night.
Speaking at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual conference— which he called the most "influential" Israel lobby in Washington— Pence said that administration officials were working to prepare Trump's peace plan.
"As we gather here, our team– Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt, and our great ambassador [David Friedman]– are hard at work crafting our administration's vision for peace," Pence continued. "And while any peace will undoubtedly require compromise, know this: The United States of America will never compromise the safety and security of the Jewish State of Israel."
He said that the Trump administration still considers Middle East peace a high priority, despite the struggle ahead, and that it would support a two-state solution if both sides agree to it.
"Under President Trump, the United States remains fully committed to achieve a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians," Pence said. "In announcing his decision on Jerusalem, the president also called, in his words, 'on all parties to maintain the status quo at Jerusalem's Holy Sites.' And he made it clear that we were not taking any position on final status issues, or specific boundaries, or the resolution of contested borders. And as the president reaffirmed, if both sides agree, the United States of America will support a two-state solution."
Israeli officials declined again on Monday to expressly endorse a two-state solution that doesn't include fundamental security guarantees for the Jewish state, such as a permanent military presence in the Jordan Valley.
And yet a true peace also requires "truth-telling," Pence said, touting President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The line received rapturous applause from the AIPAC crowd. Over 18,000 people are attending the annual conference.
The vice president gave a wide-ranging speech, addressing issues like ISIS and the Iran nuclear deal in addition to American-Israeli relations.
