Bimbo can’t say no to Mrs. Bing Pimentel

READY TO – Bimbo Cerrudo was ready to retire from showbiz and all set to engage in the franchising business. He felt that he needed a less taxing and more lucrative work. But here came Mrs. Bing Pimentel’s offer that he reprised his role in the musical “Nasaan Si Hesus?” first staged some 20 yeasrs ago.With Bimbo himself playing one of the lead roles. And again written and directed by Nestor Torre.

Bimbo couln’t say no to Mrs. Pimentel, who wrote the music of “‘Nasaan Si Hesus?”.

And so come November 19, “Nasaan Si Hesus?” will be restaged at 7:30 p.m. at the CCP Little Theater, spreading hope and inspiration as it tackles through words and music today’s timely issues and problems.

The prolific Mrs. Pimentel, in collaboration with the gifted Nestor Torre, also came up with such relevant stage musicals as “Cory,” “Huwag Pumayag sa Dagdag-Bawas” “Pag-ibig sa Bayan,” and “Buhay Isang Awit.”

LOVE SONGS – At the presscon of “Nasaan Si Hesus?”, Bimbo Cerrudo was asked to sing and he graciously rendered a Tagalog love song, “Dahil sa ‘Yo.” He’s noted for love songs in, aside from Tagalog, English, Spanish, and Italian.

The consensus was “Sayang naman if Bimbo would no longer sing.” He explained that love songs he wouldn’t really give up completely. But taxing and time-consuming musicals like “Miss Saigon” and “ Flower Drum Song” were no longer in his agenda.

Well, good enough.

By the way, another member of the cast of “Nasaan Si Hesus?”, young Crystel Campos, sang a touching number from the musical, “Batang Lansangan.”

HOPING – Mrs. Pimentel is hoping that after the CCP show on November 19, others will also stage “Nasaan Si Hesus?”,

which isn’t that difficult to mount. Parties interested may get touch with her at 0977-8177934.

Proceeds of the CCP play will go to charitable, religious, and civic groups.

Mrs. Pimentel relates time and again that writing songs “comes naturally” to her. Music made her cope with tough times, especially during the Martial Law years when her husband, former Senate President Nene Pimentel, was jailed four times.

Well, she is richly rewarded for her sacrifices. Her son Koko, is current Senate President.

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...
