A Quiet Rejection

Gracing the cover and the pages of this men’s magazine brings prestige to the females who have agreed to show off their bodies. For some models and actresses who are just starting out, a feature in this magazine usually generates interest in their budding careers. Moreover, when seasoned actresses are highlighted in this magazine, curiosity and loyalty increase the magazine’s circulation. Hence, this magazine is always on a lookout for possible subjects who can be featured in their pages.

When pictures of a singer actress (SA) showed her having a fuller body, netizens noticed that she had some enhancements in her frontal features. This new asset was not something shocking, as SA has been known to have undergone several enhancements to improve her looks. SA allegedly decided to have the enhancement as her birthday gift.

To celebrate her new look, the camp of SA thought it would be a good idea to have her featured in the men’s magazine. The men’s magazine agreed to have some test shots to see if SA can meet the standards. After the team reviewed the test shoots, they decided not to pursue the feature on SA. According to them, despite the bigger assets of SA as well as her new set of teeth, SA just does not have the sex appeal, which is vital to all the females featured in the men’s magazine.

Perhaps a feature in this men’s magazine could have stirred renewed interest in the career of SA. After all, reinventing the image of a performer is key to remaining in showbusiness. While SA is seen in one show in her network, there is no news if she will be starring in another movie or a sitcom. Her launching movie was not a blockbuster, and thus, she had to play supporting roles after. Although, her sitcom was not well received, it lasted for a few months, and critics felt SA lacked acting skills.

With the lack of interest of the men’s magazine, will the camp of SA approach another men’s magazine? More importantly, will fans appreciate the sexy image that SA is slowly moving into?

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am. -Elle Macpherson

Father of Girl Who Suffered Burns in Flight Eyes Suit vs Airliner

The father of a six-year-old girl who sustained first-degree burns after a Cebu Pacific flight attendant accidentally poured hot water on her arm is considering filing charges against the employee and her company.

“I will be filing a negligence case dun sa (against the) flight attendant,” Ryan Rey Quilala told INQUIRER.net on Sunday.

Quilala, who works as a prosecutor for the Office of the Ombudsman, said he will also file a claim for damages against Cebu Pacific for the “anxiety” and “trauma” their family experienced during the incident last May 27 while they were on flight 5J 8974 from Davao City to Manila.

The lawyer said the flight attendant not only spilled “steaming hot water” on the right arm of her daughter Reanne but also did not know how to apply first aid.

Quilala said the flight attendant “simply asked for an apology instead of immediately administering first aid treatment” as his daughter cried in pain.

“Had it not for the request of my wife for any medication the entire flight crew will just watch in vain,” he said.

He claimed that the flight crew was not properly trained and equipped to handle emergency situations.

“Di ba, ang first aid treatment ay running water? Ang ginawa nya linagyan nya kaagad ng plastic bag. Hindi pa iyong ice bag…plastic talaga na puno ng ice. In-apply nya directly sa skin ng anak ko,” he said.

(Isn’t it that first aid treatment for burns is running water? What she did is she took a plastic bag. Not an ice bag…but a plastic bag filled with ice. She applied it directly to my daughter’s arm.)

Quilala said they had to stop the flight attendant because it was “erroneous” for her to do so. He said they instead used the child’s towel to wrap the ice.

According to the World Health Organization, ice should not be directly applied on burns because “it deepens the injury.”

The lawyer said they also asked for a burn ointment, which was handed to them after 20 minutes.

“Yung burn ointment na dinala pa nila in Deutsche. Sabi ko paano ko malalaman kung pang-burn? Tinignan pa namin yung box for English translation. Tsaka lang nya chineck kung expired,” he added.

(The inscription on the burn ointment they gave us was in Deutsche. I asked them how will we know if it is indeed for burns. We had to check the box for the English translation. And it was only then that they checked if it was expired.)

He pointed out that such medication should always be readily available since flight attendants regularly serve hot beverages and food.

After verifying that it wasn’t expired, they applied the ointment on the child’s skin. When they got home, they had the family doctor attend to Reanne. The doctor confirmed that it was a first degree burn.

No response

Amid handing over a handwritten complaint to Cebu Pacific, Quilala said they have yet to receive an acknowledgement from the company.

“Sabi nung senior flight attendant nila mag-iemail sa akin the next day so I gave them enough time. Wednesday, Thursday, hindi nakipag-communicate sa akin so Friday I decided susulat na ako sa Cebu Pacific,” Quilala said.

(The senior flight attendant assured me that they will e-mail the next day so I gave them enough time. Wednesday and Thursday came and they have yet to communicate with me so I decided to send a letter on Friday.)

A copy of the letter was also sent to the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.

“In view of your seeming indifference to this incident please be advised that I will pursue all means and legal actions to protect the rights of my daughter and that of my family under Section 15 of the DOTC-DTI Joint Administrative Order No. 01 (Series of 2012), Articles 1170, 2217, 2219(2), 2221 and 2229 of the New Civil Code, and other pertinent laws, rules and regulations,” Quilala said in the letter.

He said he never wanted media attention but after a television network saw his Facebook post, he decided that he “might as well tell the truth.”

Quilala said he is hoping that their case would be an example for other disgruntled passengers of Cebu Pacific.

“Kasi baka may ibang biktima na tumatahimik na lang syempre yung hassle, yung gastos. Some of them cannot afford yung abugado to protect their rights,” he said.

(Perhaps other victims don’t do anything because of the hassle and the expenses. Some of them cannot afford a lawyer to protect their rights.)

INQUIRER.net attempted to get the side of Cebu Pacific but the lines were busy. Initial media reports said the company is still investigating the incident.

At the SF Globe, we are always on the look out for incredible photos. This set is no exception. The following pictures no doubt demonstrate the skill and talent of the makeup artist.

At the same time, perhaps these photos also beg us to ask why we feel the need to "makeup" ourselves to look like someone we are not? What are your thoughts?

India: Teen Sisters Allegedly Gang-Raped, Hanged to Death in Uttar Pradesh; Cops Suspected

Authorities in northern India said Thursday that they have arrested three men, including two police officers, suspected of gang-raping and killing two teenage sisters before hanging their bodies from a mango tree, sparking renewed public outrage over sexual violence in the country.

Villagers found the girls’ bodies hanging from the tree Wednesday morning, hours after they disappeared from fields near their home in Katra village in Uttar Pradesh state, police Superintendent Atul Saxena said. The girls, who were 14 and 15, had gone into the fields because there was no toilet in their home.

Hundreds of angry villagers spent the rest of Wednesday in silent protest over alleged police inaction in the case. Indian TV channels showed video of the villagers sitting under the girls’ bodies as they swung in the wind, preventing authorities from taking them down from the tree until the suspects were arrested.

Police arrested the three men later in the day and were searching for four more suspects.

Autopsies confirmed the girls had been gang-raped and strangled before being hung, Saxena said.

The villagers accused the chief of the local police station of ignoring a complaint by the girls’ father Tuesday night that the girls were missing. The station chief has since been suspended.

The family belongs to the Dalit community, also called “untouchables” and considered the lowest rung in India’s age-old caste system.

India tightened its anti-rape laws last year, making gang rape punishable by the death penalty. The new laws came after nationwide protests over the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old woman on a moving bus in New Delhi that triggered nationwide protests.

Records show a rape is committed every 22 minutes in India, a nation of 1.2 billion people. Activists say that number is low because of an entrenched culture of tolerance for sexual violence, which leads many cases to go unreported. Women are often pressed by family or police to stay quiet about sexual assault, experts say, and those who do report cases are often subjected to public ridicule or social stigma.

Last month, the head of Uttar Pradesh state’s governing party told an election rally that the party was opposed to the law calling for gang rapists to be executed.
