Pope’s Comments Don’t Matter, Says Lady Gaga, Gay Marriage “Must” Happen

“I think that gay marriage is going to happen. It must. We are not actually equal — humanity — if we are not allowed to freely love one another…What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope. … It is not a reflection of all religious people.”

– Pop queen Lady Gaga responds to Pope Benedict’s comments about same-sex marriage being “defective” on Europe 1 radio, via Pink News.

Surf & Music Festival 2012 in Ilocos Norte

Sometimes it’s just good to give in to the stereotype, you know? Surfers have always been viewed as a bunch of happy-go-lucky folks, riding smooth on the waves, lounging by the beach, and getting a nice tan while listening to the cool beats of reggae. It’s a tough image to live up to, that’s for sure, but then again, it certainly is inevitable.

Aloha Boardsports, in partnership with the Department of Tourism and the provincial government of Ilocos Norte (PGIN), give music fans a chance to live the surfer’s high.

The Surf & Music Festival 2012, happening from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3, is the only festival in the Philippines that puts together the advocacies for an active lifestyle, local tourism, and the practice of environmentally-aware travel front and center, creatively combining them all using the ever-reliable tandem of music and action sports.

The Surf & Music Festival has always been very conscious about tapping into local surfing hotspots in support of the Department of Tourism’s mission to encourage Filipinos, not only to travel to local destinations more, but more pertinently, to practice responsible tourism. In the past, the festival has been held in various surf towns in the country, both established and up and coming. For this year, and in the spirit of continuing that mission, the 2012 iteration of Surf & Music heads way up north to Brgy. Balaoi in Pagudpud.

“Pagudpud being recognized as a haven for surfing enthusiasts in the country has made it the easy pick for this year’s festival,” said Freddy Gonzalez, president of Freesurf, Inc., exclusive distributor of core action sports brands through concept stores like Aloha Board-sports. “We are, of course, simply excited to be working hand in hand with the local government to solidify the region’s foothold in being one of the country’s top tourist destinations. Ilocos Norte has always been home to a rich history and deep appreciation for the arts, after all, so obviously, they’ll have more than just their beaches to offer to visitors.”

Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos shares the same excitement for the event, saying, “The surf spots the North has to offer, like Dos Hermanos, Vista, Heartbreak, Private, The Blue Lagoon, Level Up, and Bantay Abot in Pagudpud, as well as those in Saud Beach and Bangui Bay, make it an irresistible destination. We are very eager for Pagudpud and Ilocos Norte as a whole to host this festival, especially for those who can enjoy the most our natural resources have to offer. That, plus the fact that it would help with the growth of business and tourism opportunities for our region, particularly the surf communities, convinced us that this is a project worth diving into.”

For information about the festival, visit www.alohaboardsports.com There will be surf classes for curious beginners — Luke Landrigan, the first Filipino to be signed and sponsored by Billabong Asia, and one of Aloha Boardsports team’s very own, will be bringing his surf-teaching skills to the event — surf competitions with serious prize money and top-of-the-line products at stake, and mountain bike and location tours that should be a great way to take in the sights of the province.

EDGAR ALLAN PORTRAYS A CLOSET GAY IN “MMK”

Cinemalaya best actor Edgar Allan Guzman will portray the character of a closet gay in “Maalaala Mo Kaya” this Saturday (September 22). Ritche (Edgar Allan) dreamt of being a seaman to prove to everyone, especially to his father, that even though he is gay, he can still succeed in life. But because of the fear of being insulted and belittled by his classmates, Ritche decided not to show his true identity. How hard is it for a young man seeking for the society’s approval to come out of the closet? Aside from Edgar Allan, this week’s “MMK” will also feature Lito Pimentel, Jobelle Salvador, Eda Nolan, Ryan Boyce, David Chua, Bryan Homecillo, Art Mendoza, Joseph Bitangcol, and Quintin Alianza. It was researched by Akeem del Rosario, written by Benson Logronio, and directed by Nick Olanka. 

Don’t miss another touching life story this Saturday in “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (MMK), after “Wansapanataym” on ABS-CBN. For more updates, log on to www.mmk.abs-cbn.com, and follow @MMKOfficial on Twitter and visit the official Facebook page: www.facebook.com/MMKOfficial.
