Hi all, I didn't want to make this public because I didn't want it to be a distraction from the music while I was performing but as my condition gets worse it appears that it is becoming inevitable (speculation is I got Bells Palsy or a stroke, one person even suggested it was because of drugs, I have never and do not take drugs, and the funniest was that I got kulam, haha tangina) and I guess its time I address it. In 2009, I was diagnosed with a tumor in my head, this tumor is on the nerves that control the right side of my face which is what is causing the paralysis. Shit happens! As a result I

mountaineers stop on the foot of Mt. Maculot in Cuenca, Batangas.

For your reference, last March 4,
2013, InterAksyon.com posted my photo without any permission and not
even credited to me. The photo was already cropped together with my watermark.
Yesterday, (March 5, 2013) my god
daughter Jenii Ramos tweet my blog and tag Interaksyon on it. Interaksyon
responded to Jenii’s tweet and they send me a direct message apologizing on
the things they made and informed me that they already removed the photo and
replaced it with a new one. But I asked them to send a formal apology together
with a detailed reason why they cropped the watermark of my photo?
When I saw this post "Kidapawan City to build 7-km stairway
to Mt. Apo's summit" on Facebook, it immediately caught my attention. The first
thing comes to my mind is the effect of it to our beloved nature. It will ruin
the natural beauty of Mt. Apo.

THE LAST MOUNTAIN is a true story film about environmental and political issues. The fight for the last great mountain in America's Appalachian heartland pits the mining giant that wants to explode it to extract the coal within, against the community fighting to preserve the mountain and build a wind farm on its ridges instead. THE LAST MOUNTAIN highlights a battle for the future of energy that affects us all.
According to the Producer, Director and Writer - Bill Haney:
The central front in the battle for America’s energy future, with enormous consequences for the health and economic prospects of every citizen, is the fight for Appalachian coal. In valleys and on mountaintops throughout the heart of the eastern seaboard, the coal industry detonates the explosive power of a Hiroshima bomb each and every week, shredding timeless landscapes to bring coal wealth to a few, and leaving devastated communities and poisoned water to many. With politicians siding with their corporate donors, it falls to a rag tag army of local activists to stand alone for the welfare of their families, their heritage and for a principled and sound energy future. Our film is their film – the uplifting story of the power of ordinary citizens to remake the future when they have the determination and courage to do so.
