Regina Belmonte Dismayed with PhilStar's Decision Allowing Mocha Uson to Become a Columnist

A close kin of the Belmonte family the owner of Philippine Star, Regina Belmonte couldn't control her emotions as she took to social media after an announcement made by the newspaper that they will allow Mocha Uson to write a column in the Op-Ed section of the newspaper.


Regina Belmonte, the daughter of Philippine Star President Miguel Belmonte was so dismayed with the announcement as she couldn't hide her disappointment.

Belmonte questioned the paper's decision to allow the "reprehensible human being," to bring "garbage to a bigger platform to mislead the country."

According to Regina Belmonte who wrote a column with PhilStar, she just took a nap and woke up knowing that Mocha Uson will be having a column with their family's newspaper. She also noted that the newspaper was founded with "Truth Shall Prevail" under its masthead. To have Mocha Uson peedling lies in it is a disgrace to her lola's memory.

Mocha Uson on her part posted a reply to Regina Belmonte's statement on Facebook
showing humility as she admitted that she will abide with the decision of PhilStar if her planned portion of the newspaper will push through.

Here's the statement of Mocha Uson:

To mam Regina Belmonte (Daughter of the President of Philippine Star)

Mam I'm sorry if you don't like me. Ako po ay HINDI JOURNALIST and I don't deserve to be part of your Family's Newspaper at isa sa natutunan ko po sa buhay ay eto , "all come from dust, and to dust all return". Hindi po ako kapit tuko sa kahit ano mang bagay, tao o kalalagayan sa buhay. At kung nais po ng pamunuan ng Philippine Star na ako po ay hindi magtuloy I WILL STILL BE GRATEFUL for being considered to write and express the cry of the ordinary people. I will not have any bitterness towards you and the paper because your family owns it. Salamat po. God bless you and your family.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
