November 19, inanunsyo ni Senator Manny Villar ang pag-anib ng anak ng former President Ferdinand Marcos na si Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr na tatakbo ito bilang isa sa mga senator ng Nacionalista Party (NP) ngayong 2010 election na kung saan ang pambatong preisdent at vice president nito ay sina Villar at Loren Legarda na kung saan nagpahayag ng kanilang alyansa noong November 13 sa Mandaluyong.
Ang pag anib ni Bongbong kay Villar ay siyang naging pormal na pag alyansa ng partido nitong Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL) na siyang partido ng kanyang ama noong naging presidente ito, kasama ang kanyang kapatid na si Imee Marcos ay nagkaroon ng coalition agreement ang KBL at NP sa Laurel House bahay ni Villar sa Mandaluyong.
Sa kabila ng pag alyansa ng KBL sa NP, ay binatikos naman ito ng Bayan Muna Representive Satur Ocampo at Gabriella Partylist Representative Lisa Mana na kung saan pawang mga naging aktibista at kumalaban sa diktadorya ni Marcos. KBL chairman Attorney Vic Milloria questions Bongbong alliance to NP na dala ang partido ng KBL, ayon sa kanya hindi na opisyal at miyembro ng KBL si Bongbong at hindi si Villar ang susuportahan ng partido nila sa election sa 2010.
Pero sa kabila ng mga batikos sa kanya, iginiit ni Marcos hindi na human rights at nakaw na yaman ang issue ngayong election, ang dapat pag usapan ngayon ay issue ng poverty, education, employment, healthcare at foreign relation.
Nag umpisa na ang filling of candidacy sa araw na ito pero sa panahong ito ay wala pang nagsusumite ng kanilang candidacy sa COMELEC, habang ang NP ay nakaplanong mag anunsyo ng kanilang mga kandidato para sa senado sa November at nakaplanong magsumite ng sa huling araw ng filing ng COC sa Commision on Election.
Last November 18 sa 9501 Restaurant ay opisyal nang pinakilala ng Get Laud ang bago nilang endorser na si Phoemela Baranda na isang model at TV Host sa TV Patrol World at The Buzz mga shows sa ABS-CBN. Pinili ng Get Laud si Phem as their new endorser dahil sa kanyang versatility as an artist na kung saan kaya niyang gampanan ang mga roles na binibigay niya from modeling, hosting and acting na kung saan lumabas na siya noon sa tv shows like Pangako Sayo, Cool Dudes and Narito ang Puso Ko.
Just like the latest Get Laud clothing collection na 100 % Filipino made and flexible na fit sa iba’t ibang lifestyle ng women. Get Laud also introduce the idea of multi dress where you can use the dress several times and adding up accessories and folds it will look like a new dress, ito ang isa sa mga pinu-push ng Get Laud where their products fits in all occasions and its affordable.
Phem likes the idea of Get Laud na kung saan fashionable ang clothing lines nila pero affordable at sulit na sulit especially in times of recession. Phem gives advice to women who want to be fashionable pero hindi sila gagastos ng malaki;
1. Mix and Match. I try to avoid wearing the same outfit twice. My secret is to mix and match, specially my favorite pieces like a printed skirt or trousers. I can create different looks by changing my top or adding a blazer or changing my shoes and bag.
2. Stretch your budget. During hard times, you don't have to sacrifice your look. Local retail stores are already up to date and comparable to imported brands.
3. Dress appropriately for the occasion. Making a statement is different from dressing outrageously. Always comply with the dress code but jazz up your outfit with the latest accessories.
4. Keep it clean and make sure everything is in place. One thing I can’t stand is a dirty shoe. Always check if your dress is well pressed and check if everything is in place. You don't want to be seen in a dress with flaws like bulges or if your dress is missing a button.
The new clothing line of Get Laud is now out in their 30 branches nationwide including Market Market, Alabang Town Center, Festival Mall, Marquee Mall, Robinson’s Metro East, NCCC Mall of Davao, Sta Lucia East and SM Malls and you can check their online catalogs at www.getlaud.com.

Tanging mga kapatid at mag anak lang ni Manzano sa proclamation nila ni Teodoro na kung saan napabalitang naghiwalay na sila ng girlfriend niyang si Pinky Webb isang broadcaster sa ABS-CBN.
