Sinabi ni Caloocan BishopDeogracias Iñiguez na taglay nang Catholic Bishops’ Conferenceof the Philippines (CBCP) angbersyon sa Ingles ng RomanMissal. Ngunit kailangan pa

Causes of and solutionsto darkened lips
ing effects on the skin, like anashy complexion, dry skin andwrinkles formed around theeyes and mouth. So if you’vebeen thinking of quitting,there’s no better time than to-day.
• Limit your intake of teaand coffee. Just how caffeinecan stain teeth, it can also makelips darker, depending of course,on how much you consume.Large doses of caffeine takendaily may get you through theday, but in time can give yourlips a darker pigment. Counterthis effect by drinking waterwith your coffee or tea, or trycutting back a cup or two daily.
•Use a lip balm with SPF.We spend so much time protect-ing our skin from the sun’sharmful UV rays we completelyforget to apply SPF on our lips.Our puckers can also burn (infact, they are very sensitive toUV rays), especially with con-stant sun exposure. Using a lipbalm with a minimum SPF of15 will do the trick, and willkeep your lips smooth andchap-free.
•Drink more water. Notdrinking enough water cancause our bodies to be dehy-
drated, and this manifests inrough, chapped, and to somedegree, darker lips. We obvious-ly need water to survive, butsurprisingly, we aren’t drinkingenough. The recommended twoto three liters of water shouldbe taken throughout the day tokeep us hydrated and healthy,and our lips moisturized.
•Exfoliate your lips. Gentlyremoving dead skin on our lips
is a must if you want it to goback to its original color. Youcan easily do this by using a wetbaby toothbrush to slough awaydry skin and apply petroleumjelly on your lips after. Or makea yummy lip scrub by mixingsugar and honey and applying iton your lips. Honey is a naturalantioxidant that helps protectlips from damage and sugar willremove rough lip skin.
By Kelly Misa, Inquirer Lifestyle columnist
HI, KELLY! I’m 24 and I’ve been using lip products forover a decade now-lipsticks, lip gloss, lip tints, lipbalms, lip lacquers, even petroleum jelly. Over the years,I’ve noticed a gradual darkening of the color of my lips.Why does this happen and how can I reverse this?—Rica
As easy as it is to blame lipproducts for the gradual dark-ening of your lips, you shouldknow that there are also otherreasons why this may happen.Smoking, excessive consump-tion of caffeine, exposure tosunlight and dehydration canall contribute to the darkeningof your lips. And while its truethat some lip products maycause this, it is most likely dueto using products from disrep-utable companies or productsthat have already expired (ifyou’ve been using them formore than two years, its time tochuck them out).
Unless you’re allergic to yourlip products, it is highly unlikelythat your favorite lipstick, lipgloss or lip tint caused thechange in your lip color. Yousee, makeup goes through astringent process of formulationand manufacturing, so that they
don’t cause problems or otherhealth issues. But to be on thesafe side, it may be better toswitch to lip products madewith natural ingredients in verysheer or transparent shades. Orstop using lip products altogeth-er (at least for a few weeks)and see if there is any improve-ment.
Getting back your natural lipcolor may take some time, butthe condition of your darkenedlips is reversible. Below are alist of preventive measures so asto lighten your lips and restoretheir natural tone.
•Stop smoking. Apart fromthe long list of health problemslinked with smoking, gettingnoticeably darker lips, teeth andgums should be among themany reasons to quit it (its as-sociation with heart disease andcancer should be enough rea-son). It also has known damag-

Kimerald 2: sabini Gerald, ‘I miss her’
Ni Marinel R. Cruz
K UMBINSIDO ang ak-tor na si Gerald An-derson, na nakipag-
break sa dati niyang girl-friend na si Kim Chiu ni-tong nakaraang taon, namas mainam na magkaibi-gan na lang sila ngayon.
“We used to spend a lot of timetogether, kaya halos wala nangmapag-usapan,” sabi ng bida ngdramang Budoy sa ABS-CBN.“Now our phone conversations aremore substantial. We keep eachother updated about work.”
Parehong kontestant sina Ger-ald at Kim sa first season ng PinoyBig Brother Teen Edition, kungsaan nanalo si Kim. Una silangnagkasama bilang mga propesyu-nal sa pelikulang First Day High,nitong 2006. Simula noon, luma-bas pa sila sa ilang pelikula atprograma sa telebisyon, kung saanang huli ay ang romantic dramana Till My Heartaches End, noongOktubre 2010.
Sobrang busy“I still miss her,” pag-aamin ni
Gerald. “Malalim ang pinagsama-han namin. I’m often askedwhether a reconciliation is possi-ble and I keep saying, ‘We’ll see…’We really can’t tell. This spacefrom each other is doing us good.It seems we’re better off asfriends.”
Sabi naman ni Gerald nanagkakasabay naman sila ni Kimsa Sunday variety show na ASAP.Dagdag niya, “I hope we could goout soon, but we’re bothbusy—she’s doing My Binondo Girl(kung saan gumaganap si Kim bi-lang Jade at minsan ding gu-manap bilang ang lalaking siYuan). She’s so handsome (asYuan). Nakaka-insecure.”
Hindi niya prayoridad ang pag-ibig ngayon, sabi ni Gerald, 22.“I’m open to it; I just don’t havetime right now. But if I comeacross someone I like, I will notstop myself.”
Pagdidiin ng aktor, nakatuonang kanyang atensyon ngayon sapagtitiyak na patuloy na magugus-tuhan ng mga manonood satelebisyon ang Budoy. “It’s a goodproject. I said yes to it immediate-ly and lost no time in research-ing.”
Nagbawas si Gerald ng 15 lbs,pinahaba ang kanyang buhok atkailangan ngayon magsuot ng masmakapal na kilay at pekeng ngipinupang mabago ang kanyang anyoat makuha ang itsura ng kanyangkarakter na salat sa wastong pag-iisip na si Budoy Reyes. Nanood
siya ng higit 20 pelikula, kabilangna rito ang Rain Man, I Am Sam,What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, OfMice and Men, A Beautiful Mind atPowder.
Nasa moodSa umpisa, he confessed, he
didn’t know how to attack thecharacter. “Once I got the hang ofit, it was smooth-sailing. I’m morein the mood to work now becauseI receive praise from colleagues.”
Gerald also visited a school forspecial children in Montalban, Rizal.“I observed them in class. I talked tosome of them, their parents andtheir yayas. I wanted to learn howthe kids behave when they’re athome and when they’re in publicplaces.”
Inilarawan naman niya angkanyang leading lady, si JessyMendiola, bilang “refreshing.”Dagdag pa niya, “She’s profession-al, quiet, but sometimes, makulitdin.”
Pareho naman daw very sup-portive ang kanyang mga direktorna sina Ruel S. Bayani at TotsSanchez. “Direk Ruel was mymentor when I did TayongDalawa. I learned a lot from him.He and Tots are very keen on de-tails. They let me be, but theywatch my every move.”
Turing ni Gerald sa kanyang
sarili na suwerte at nakatraba-ho ang isang bigating cast nakinabibilangnan nina ZsazsaPadilla, Tirso Cruz III, Christo-
pher de Leon, Mylene Dizon,Enrique Gil at Janice de Belen.“Tita Janice brings food foreverybody. She’s very kind.”

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2011 SPORTS DENNIS U. EROA, Editor
Tamang panahonILANG linggo na ring natataposang isa na namang kontrober-siyal fight nina Fighting Con-gressman Manny pacquiao atJuan Manuel Marquez.
Sa mga nakalipas na arawsamu’t saring espekulasyon mu-la sa pangkaraniwan hanggangmatataas na tao ay nagsalita atibinulalas ang kanilang saloobinsa laban.
Mayroong mga salitangnakakasakit at pampalubagloob, pero siyempre ang matiti-mo sa isipan ng PambansangKamao ay yaong nasaling angkanyang damdamin.
Anyway, nakabalik na si Pac-quiao ng bansa at ilang linggona lamang at magdiriwang ngika-33 niyang kaarawan.
Sa kanyang pagbabalik saPilipinas tila hindi namutawi sakanyang mga labi ang konkretoniyang plano at kung sino batalaga ang susunod niyang
makakalaban.Sa itsura ni Pacquiao sa mga
interview na napanood ko satelebisyon, tila baga walangdereksiyon ang kanyang mgastatement, tulad din ng nagingperformance niya kontra kayMarquez noong November 13.
Isang senyales nga kaya angkanyang mga aksiyon na tala-gang may malaki siyang di-nadalang problema?
Ang isa pang nawala at na-miss ng mga fans ay ang mgalinyang “I’m the fighter, I fightwho my promoter wants meto fight”.
Kung sabagay tila masyadonang gasgas ang linyang ito atpanahon na siguro na baguhinna ni Pacquiao.
Pero kung ito pa rin angkanyang susundin eh mala-mang na magkaroon nga ngPacquiao-Marquez take 4,dahil ito mismo ang gustongmangyari ng promoter na siBob Arum.
Gayunpaman, sa ipinakitangperformance ni Pacquiao kayMarquez ay talagang contra pe-lo sila at marahil tama na angtatlong laban dahil nakadalawana ang Pambansang kamao kayDinamita.
Bagama’t 32 years-old palamang masasabing nasa cross-roads na si Pacquiao ngkanyang boxing career atmarahil ito na rin ang tamangpanahon upang siya naman angmagdikta kay Arum kung sinoang gusto niyang kalaban.

Nagsasanay si Martinez saisang gym dito. “It would bebetter if they just said theydidn’t want to fight me, becausethey know I’ll knock him out.”
Naniniwala si Martinez namakukuha niya ang karangalanbilang pinakamahusay sa mun-do kung makakasagupa niya siFloyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0-0)o si Pacquiao (54-3-2).
Sinabi ng 36-taon-gulang Ar-gentinian na naghahanda siyasa timbang na 154 bago la-banan si Mayweather.
Binanatan ni Martinez angpagiging numero uno ni Pac-quiao sa mundo.
“I don’t know when the lasttime was that Pacquiao took onone of the best pound-for-pound fighters,”ani Martinez.

survival of the fittest and who-ever survives will be crownedthe best in the country.
UPHS-Dalta won first placein the National Collegiate Ath-letics Association 87 and hasbagged a total of five NCAAchampionships but according toBermudo those trophiesweren’t enough to securethem a victory in the NCC.
“All teams are toughand a lot improved at ibatalaga ang laban dito[NCC],” quipped Kath-lyn Pereyra, who is also
a member of the TeamPilipinas Cheerleading Squad.But no matter how fierce
their opponents might be, theLas Piñas-based squad are allready to go against all odds andhave their fingers crossed, hop-ing that they could once againreturn to the top.
“Kami yung isa sa mgapinakaunang teams na sumalisa NCC kaya marami ang nag-e-expect sa amin,” she [Pereyra]added.
And to achieve those expec-tations, the Altas not only dou-bled their efforts during prac-tices but also poured moreheart and dedication which theyknow will make their title-
recipe complete.“Hindi kami nandoon kasi
kailangan, nandoon kami dahilgusto namin,” shared Bernal,who suffered from an ACL in-jury the night before the NCCChampionship in 2010.
“Ang puso namin ay nasacheerleading at sa tingin ko, iy-on ang importante.”
Aside from competing, thePerps also take chances like thistourney not only to collect tro-phies or medals but also gainnew buddies from other teamsand learn from them.
“Magaling kami makisama atsobrang friendly ng teamnamin,” said senior KristalBermudo. “We talk about ourexperiences and what we hadgone through. Marami rinakong natututunan sa kanila la-lo na sa mga matagal namingnakasama sa tournament.”
Of course, before they get at-tached with other people, thegirls and boys of the squad arealready like brothers and sistersand use practice sessions alsotheir time to bond.
“We hang-out and also haveteam buildings to tighten therelationship of the team,” saidrookie Charlyn Godes. “Yungmga bago na tulad ko, talagang
guided ng mga senior cheer-leaders kaya mabilis na rinkaming naka-adopt.”
Altas prideThere is more to life than
cheering for gold and that iswhat the Altas has in mindwhenever they groove theirheart out on the dance floor.
“Gusto naming maging inspi-ration, lalo na sa mga bata nagustong maging cheerleader.”shared five-foot-four Bermudo.“Overwhelmed kami sa mganangyayari sa amin kaya gustorin namin na ma-experience ngmga bata ito in the future.”
And the Perps do better eachyear because they want to con-tinue the legacy that the othercheerleaders left, they want towrite a little of their own pieceof history that will soon bepassed on as well.
“Para sa mga senior fliersnamin ito,” said Bernal. “Gustonamin na maging proud sila saamin.”
They also dedicate theirfights to all those who givethem motivation, their families,coaches, the school, countryand God.
“Altas will always be Altas,”quipped Pereyra. “Gold is ourgoal and that will be for them.”
ALTAS SHOWSTOPPERS
One time,big time
“Bronze is good, Silver is notenough, Gold is our goal.”
Time after time, the Altasconsistently gave heart-stoppingand spine-tingling performancesand they never fail to give theiraudience one heck of a show.
And this season of the Na-tional Cheerleading Champi-onship, the squad of multi-titledcoach Ruf Rosario don’t justplan to steal the spotlight but
also redeem something they losttwo years ago-the championshipthey believe is rightfully theirown.
One time, big time“This is a once in a lifetime
experience and we only haveone shot at this,” said the 19-year old April Bernal. “We’re go-ing to do our best because in acompetition like this, there is noroom for mistakes.”

T HEY were able to bag thecrown thrice in recenthistory. There’s no
doubt they cando it afourthtimewhen theNationalCheer-leadingChampi-onshipholds its fi-nals by theend of theschool year.
The CentralColleges of thePhilippines’ Bobcatsis raring to return tothe top post. “We’re readyto take that crown back,”says April Rosacinia.
The squad has already bestedother schools in the NCC in 2007,2008 and 2010.
With a coaching staff led byArnold Villanueva for ten yearsnow, the CCP Bobcats hinted atfiercer partner stunts, tumblingsand pyramids. The squad refusedto divulge any more details abouttheir routine aside from that. Allthey can say is that they’re expect-ing to floor everyone after they’redone with their performance.
Dislodged from the top of thecheerleading pyramid after finish-ing third in the 2011 NCC, Aprilsays it was because they weren’table to nail a flawless number.
“I guess we failed to anticipatethat the other squads will improveand become much better,” addsMajalyn Galang. The Bobcats ac-knowledge how the other schools’teams got stronger in their perfor-mances.

The result was a wake-up call to thethree-time cheerleading champs. Thesquad now undergoes harder trainingand conditioning. House rules have al-so gone stricter. “The coaching staffused to be lenient with us but now
pag-sinabing bawal, bawal talaga.For example, before
they didn’t reallybother abouteveryone’sweight, but nowwe are requiredto maintain ourweight,” sharesMaverick Caday.
Practices takeplace nearly thewhole yearround. After theprevious season’s
finals, the Bobcatsrests for a week ortwo then resumeswith their trainingto get ready for thenext season. “Actu-
ally hindi namannatatapos talaga’
yung training namin.We train every day,” says
Cecilia Lee.And while one can say that
these students eat, breathecheerleading, schoolwork
doesn’t take a backseat all thesame. While members of thesquad are given athletic scholar-ships, they need to maintaingood grades to keep these.
They admit that it’s not aneasy task to balance cheerlead-ing and schoolwork. Majalynshares, “Habang tumatagal,mas marami kang ginagawa saschool kaya medyo nag-aagaw-agaw talaga yung time.”
But nope, they don’t get tiredof cheerleading. “Mahal naminang cheering at gusto namingmanalo.”
Watch out for the CCPBobcats when they competein the NCR Qualifiers in
February 2012.

TARLAC STATE U TIGERS
Enjoying the rideBy Denison Rey A.DalupangPhotos byArnold Almacen
H E thatcan havepatience,
can have what hewill.—BenjaminFranklin.
And Tarlac StateUniversity Tigers(TSU) might just bethe perfect embodi-ment of this—a squadreaping what they’vesown out of arduoustraining and patientlywaiting in line—final-ly clinching the Na-tional CheerleadingChampionship crown.
For a squad whichbuilt on its momen-tum in the last twoyears, TSU hadbucked stereotypes-proving that it is forreal.
Shortly afternotching the top slotin the Central Luzonqualifying in 2010,TSU pulled-off a
shocker by finishing7th in the nationals.Slowly but surely, theTigers were makingtheir presence felt inthe cheerleading tilt.
“Our eyes are onthe prize,” said TSUcoach Angelo LouiseYangco who had beenmentoring the squadfor three years now.
“We started as asquad that represent-ed only a college (de-partment), now werepresent the Univer-sity,” recalled Yangco.
Tarlac State mayno longer comprisethe same squad theyhad two years ago,but Yangco is far fromworried, noting thattheir fresh talentsmight be their trumpcards going into thelooming competition.
“Our newbies arehungry,” noted Yang-co. “They want toshake off the bittertaste of fallingshort—settling for 1strunner-up—behindAngeles UniversityFoundation in the re-gional qualifying.That’s one of our ad-vantages.”
Given the rookie-laden squad, Yangcotold INQUIRER LIBREthat he’s happy tohave his fellow coachRaymond Panzo andhis core squad takeup the cudgels.
“We divide thetasks among our-selves,” he said. “Thebrunt of stunts andpyramid-building iscovered by Raymondwhile the dance as-pect of the routinesis mine”.
“But we shouldbe aware of the
hurdles before us-NCR schools,” headded. “They’ve beenthere and they al-ready know the trendand made the mostout of their re-sources.”
“Perpetual will al-ways be a perennialcontender,” addedMelody Intia; “Theyare always a threatfor us, same with theCentral Colleges ofthe Philippines Bob-cats,” concurred KarlaMarie Sanchez whoare both regarded byYangco as members ofthe squad’s coregroup alongsideteam captain Ed-sie Kim Canla.
For Yangco,CCP inspires theTigers to shootfor the top.
“[Bobcats] are theones who first taughtus the basics,” hesaid. “2009 was alearning phase forus.”
“[The] bottomline(is that) competitionactually lies not in thestunts or the spectacleeach squad has to of-fer—but in the fine-ness of our routinesand the flawlessnessof execution,” saidYangco.
Despite limited ac-cess to equipmentand resources, TSU ishappy with the sup-port its getting from
the school.‘‘The
school—es-pecially
Dr. Priscilla Viuya andour sports director,Norberto Jacinto,make sure that we getall the help ,” Yangcosaid.
With defendingchampion Universityof the Cordilleras notparticipating, TarlacState’s chance of get-ting the nationalchampionship hasbeen bolstered.
“I believe attitudeis what will propel usto the top,” said Yang-co when asked aboutTSU’s edge over theother squads. “I al-ways tell the guys toenjoy, for if they do,surely, the crowd aswell will enjoy too.Other squads take ittoo seriously that the‘fun’ is no longer re-flected in their rou-tines.”
