Kris: ‘Igalang natin ang desisyon ng MMFF Rules Committee!’

Kris: ‘Igalang natin ang desisyon ng MMFF Rules Committee!’: IKINALUNGKOT ni Kris Aquino ang desisyon ng Metro Manila Film Festival Rules Committee na hindi payagan ang request nila kaugnay ng pagpapalit ng kanyang leading man sa MMFF entry na (K)Ampon. Nahuli raw kasi ng pagsusumite ng letter na may intensyong palitan ni Gabby Concepcion si Derek Ramsay.Isinumite raw kasi ang letter limang araw pagkatapos ng sinet na deadline ng MMFF Rules Committee kaya hindi raw nila papayag ang pagpapalit ng leading man ni Kris. Kung ipipilit daw na ipasok si Gabby sa pelikula ay madi-disqualify daw ang (K)Ampon. Ayon sa Instagram post ni Kris, "Pinalaki po ako to ABIDE by RULES. Hindi po kami ang lead producer ng (K)Ampon. So unfortunately, my return to horror was not meant to be for MMFF 2019..."Gayunpaman matutuloy pa rin daw ang reunion movie nina Kris at Gabby dahil nangako raw si Mother Lily Monteverde ng Regal Entertainment. Kadugtong ng IG post ni Kris," but THANK YOU, Mother Lily, i received your thank you text for the birthday flowers i sent you. i look forward to working with @concepciongabby with @regalfilms50 (where we were both privileged to start our acting careers) for a movie soonest. Again, much love & gratitude to @popoycaritativo, @jeffvadillo, and @cornerstone. To my followers, GALANGIN natin ang naging desisyon ng MMFF Rules Committee."May dagdag paliwanag at paglilinaw pa si Kris sa isa pa niyang IG post. "To put this chapter immediately behind me, @ramsayderek07 backed out August 2. Attorney Joji communicated with me on August 3, and we reached out to @concepciongabby through @popoycaritativo. At midnight, meaning August 4, Gabby said YES. Letter was submitted August 5 to MMFF COMMITTEE. i have read the suggestions na mag appeal, pinalaki po akong may DELICADEZA, 2 members of the executive committee are friends, 1 is one of my closest friends- kaya hindi ko magawa... tulala ngayon kasi bukod sa hindi tuloy ang isang project na ginusto ko talaga, may ilang milyon din na sagutin kami sa MMFF bond, prod staff, crew, and artists... no blame game, but to clear my name, i was concerned about shooting until we had the approval of the MMFF rules committee, but i wasn’t producer in charge... as i said, #lessonslearned."Dagdag pa ni Kris sa isa pa niyang IG post, "(Corrected Saturday, August 17, 2019) Friday, August 16, was supposed to be a good day. We secured funding from a (Philippine) conglomerate that has always supported me... but i didn’t want to be 'that girl' , yung gagamit ng friendships & 'palakasan' ... kaya tinanggap with humility na hindi tamang panahon para sa (K)Ampon."Pero kailangan umamin, ang panindigan ang prinsipyo and playing by the rules when clearly others would choose not to, mahirap at (masakit) ... uulitin ko, i perfectly understand that @ramsayderek07 has a @gmanetwork contract and (K)Ampon is not a coproduction with them. @quantumfilmsph missed submitting the letter of the change in leading man by 5 days because Atty Joji & Derek only spoke on August 2, a Friday."Ano nga bang pakialam nyo sa movie na hindi matutuloy? it matters to me because please learn from my pain, i hope- missed deadlines will matter a lot... holding on to your values & principles will define you NOW & in the future... and it’s okay to not always be the brave girl when something that INSPIRED you is now gone, dahil ginusto mong patunayan na pantay pantay nga tayong lahat."i know you were seeing a happy and energized Kris again (those FB views couldn’t have been lying), that’s because i had something special to look forward to. "Nakakahiya kasi nadamay pa si @concepciongabby. Boy Abunda always said 'honor your pain' and that’s what i’ll do, i won’t force myself to pretend okay ang lahat. You & i deserve much more than the pretend version of me. SEE YOU... WHEN I AM ME AGAIN." (BISTADODAILYNEWS.NET / BONGGA by GLEN P. SIBONGA)

Henry Sy Sr. – philanthropist and richest man in PH – Passes away

MANILA, Philippines — Taipan Henry Sy Sr., who rose from being a penniless Chinese immigrant to leading a multi-billion dollar business empire,  passed away on Saturday, his conglomerate has announced.

Sy was 94 years old.

“Henry Sy… passed away peacefully in his sleep early Saturday morning,” his SM group said in a statement, adding that the particulars of his wake and interment were still being worked out.

Sy had been the country’s richest man for 11 years in a row, according to Forbes magazine, which estimates his net worth at $19 billion.

Forbes said he was the 52nd richest person in the world last year, beating out bold name tycoons like Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch and George Soros.

Largest malls in the world

Sy made his fortune with a Philippine shopping center conglomerate that has put up some of the largest malls in the world.

His holdings also included banks, hotels and real estate in the Philippines, as well as shopping centers in China.

Sy changed the Philippine landscape with his shopping mall empire, turned SM into a household brand and malling into a national past time, and redefined the limits of banking.

“He was a happy man knowing that he left our world a better place to live in,” SM Investments Corp. chair Jose Sio said in a text message.

“He was an icon in Philippine retail, banking and real estate. Above all, he was a caring father and a God-loving man. I will miss him,” Sio said.

Sy was also a generous donor to charitable causes, allotting millions of pesos each year to finance the college scholarships of thousands of deserving but underprivileged Filipino youth, among others.

Sy put up his first shoe store in Carriedo in downtown Manila in 1958, a business which later grew into a diversified empire.

The Sy family-led SM group owns three of the most valuable companies in the country: flagship conglomerate SM Investments Corp., SM Prime Holdings Inc. which is now a leading property developer in Southeast Asia and BDO Unibank.

These days, the SM group runs over 200 companies in the Philippines and operates close to 80 local shopping malls plus another six in mainland China. SM has become a household brand and it’s a running joke that the country’s capital is now “SM City.”

Sy stepped down as chairman of his holding firm in 2017, assuming the title of “chairman emeritus” and leaving trusted allies as well as his children in charge of his empire.

All six children (by order of birth) — Teresita (Sy-Coson), Elizabeth, Henry “Big Boy” Jr., Hans, Herbert and Harley — are now working to expand the business empire and train the next generation of shareholders.

Sy, the migrant

It was a long journey for a man who came to the Philippines as a boy to work in his immigrant father’s variety store.

“Our store was so small it had no back or second floor, we just slept on the counter late at night after the store was closed,” he told the Philippine Star newspaper in 2006.

Sy left his hometown of JinJiang, once an impoverished city, when he was barely a teenager to live in the Philippines with his father, Xiu Shi Sy, who was operating a small-time grocery business.

During World War II, his family lost everything, which prompted his father to go back to China.

Sy decided to stay in the country, initially getting into merchandise trading and eventually striking a gold mine in retailing and shopping mall development. BDO Unibank, once a niche banking player, became the biggest player in his lifetime.

The shoe vendor

He got a commerce degree from a Manila university and started selling shoes in a shop which would later grow into a chain named ShoeMart.

By 1972, his shops had branched out into selling all manner of goods, prompting the name to be changed to SM Department Store.

But it was in 1985 that Sy made history when he opened his first “Supermall” in Manila.

Spanning over 424,000 square meters (4.6 million square feet), the mall included dozens of stores, numerous cinemas, restaurants, banks and other attractions that made it a one-stop shop for millions of Filipinos.

This was just the start, as more of Sy’s mammoth malls popped up across the country, some even containing ice skating rinks, a rarity in the tropical country.

Sy helped create mall culture in the Philippines, where steamy temperatures and the regular threat of torrential downpours can make outdoor shopping uncomfortable.

Sy’s holding company, SM Investments Corp. opened its first mall in China in 2001 and has been expanding there as well.

By 2018, SM said it had 70 malls in the Philippines and seven in China as well as six hotels and eight office buildings.
