Scam exposed by blogging (Edited due to legal reasons)
I have just watched a news on our local TV network ABS CBN Tv Patrol about an Australian guy. He wrote on his blog, about him being victimized by a Filipino socialite. In his blog he wrote on how he desperately wants his money back after selling his estate on Australia just to send it to his boyfriend. The $70,000 money was intended to open a restaurant and a travel agency in the Philippines. Only to know in the end that he was victimized by his boyfriend and is nowhere to be found, running away with his money. He also named a number of personalities that are connected with his ex-boyfriend, also addressing the issue to a local newspaper, wherein his boyfriend used to work, even sending letters to its president.
Included in his blog was how his boyfried satisfied his cocaine dependency using his money and getting large amounts of credits from other people, who his boyfriend was unable to pay. The turn of events on how he lost his money. How he handled the situation and how he handled himself in the situation.
I don’t want to comment much about this issue cause, I myself don’t know each side’s story. All I can say is it is a lesson that we should put in our minds. Everyone should think that the Internet is not a safe place, especially if money is involved.
Furthermore, because of blogging and using blogs as our tool, we can raise the awareness for these kinds of exploitations. It is amazing how powerful a blog could be used as a tool and influence people, in a good way.

Gabby Concepcion – The Comeback
After decades away from the country and away from showbiz, the actor signed a two-year contract for ABS – CBN. This contract gives him projects both the television programs and film movies. Being away from the country did not excuse him from the intrigues happening here in the Philippines and has been a subject for discussions and humors. One of which was his controversial snub for the text messages of Ms. Jolina Magdangal when their supposed movie was canceled.There have been hearsays about a movie that he would be making, teaming up with his daughter though. Surely it would attract many fans from father and daughter alike.
Concepcion’s new manager, Rose Flaminiano known as Mommy Rose in the showbiz industry, said that a new soap opera is already readied for him on ABS – CBN.
Will Gabby Concepcion have the same appeal that he had way back the 90’s? We don’t know yet, but considering Gabby’s credible acting skills, the undead charisma that he has for the fans, and his commitment to the showbiz industry is surely a plus factor for a new start in his career.
