Nagtatagal dito mga turistaTinukoy ni David ang mga

banyagang nagpalawig ng kani-lang visa sa kabila ng negati-bong pahayag ng mga bansangtulad ng Estados Unidos, UnitedKingdom, at Tsina dahil sa ani-la’y banta sa seguridad.

Sa kasalukuyan, ang mgaturistang hindi kailangan ngvisa ay maaaring tumagal sabansa ng 21 araw, habang angmga kailangang may visa aymay paunang permiso upangmanatili ng 59 na araw.

Maaaring magpadugtong ngpananatili ng dagdag na tig-dadalawang buwan hanggang

maubos ang 16-buwang hang-ganang itinakda ng batas.

“All of them may extendtheir sojourn in the Philippinesbefore the lapse of their autho-rized stay as long as they do notviolate the conditions of theirstay and pay the required feesto the bureau,” ani BI visa ex-tension office acting chief JuliusCortez.

Sinabi ni Cortez na pinaka-mataas ang pagpapalawig ngvisa noong Enero, Hulyo, Agos-to at Disyembre, kung kailanmahigit 15,000 aplikasyon angnaproseso bawat buwan.

Ang pinakamababang bilangng aplikasyon ay noong Abrilkung kailan 12,000 angnaaprubahan, aniya.

Target ng Department ofTourism ang 4.5 milyong turistapara sa 2012. Mula Enero hang-gang Nobyembre ay umabot itosa 3.83 milyon, karamihan mulaSouth Korea, US, Japan, Tsinaat Taiwan.

Maliban sa mga bansang ito,napansin ng BI na patuloy nadumarami ang mga bisita mulasa mga kapitbansa ng Pilipinassa Assocation of SoutheastAsian Nations o Asean.

P ARAMI nang parami ang mga banyagang nag-papalawig sa pananatili sa Pilipinas, pahiwatigna paboritong puntahan ng mga turista ang

bansa, ayon sa Bureau of Immigration (BI).Lumabas sa talaan para sa

2012 na inaprubahan ngahensya ang aplikasyon ng172,055 banyagang nagpare-bisa ng visa upang mas tuma-gal sa bansa. Mas mataas itonang 13 porsyento sa 151,913aplikasyon na naaprubahannoong 2011.

“Our country remains a fa-

vorite tourist destinationthat many foreign visitorsare opting to stay herelonger not only for vacationor to visit our tourist attrac-tions but also to explorebusiness and investment op-portunities,” sinabi kahaponni Immigration Commission-er Ricardo David Jr.

Lord, eto naman ako, nagmamadali, bugbog sa trabaho. Kapa-pasok pa lang ng 2013, santambak na ang trabaho. Ano ba ’yan, Lord? Ang

hirap kumita ng pera. Sobrang abala ako, nagiging makalilimutin ako. Minsannaiisip ko, ganoon ba kahalaga ang pera at halos ibuhos ko ang lahat ng orasko sa trabaho? Kakapirasong panahon na lang ang natitira para sa aking pa-

milya. Higit pa dyan, halos wala na akong panahon para sa Inyo. Lord,patawarin N’yo po ako. Lord, alam kong Ikaw lang ang pinakamahalaga.

MISS TOURISM INT’L:

‘I thought Iwas dreaming’

“Everyone is on equal foot-ing. Everyone is very beautiful,talented and smart. But I guessmy edge would be my faith inthe Lord,” she explained.

Gomez told INQUIRER LIBREthat in the competition, she sur-rendered everything to God.

“During the announcement Iwas nervous. I was saying ‘It’sup to You, Lord. Whatever yougive me, I will accept. I got awonderful experience in 2012,and now you’ve given meenough by making it to the Top10.’ When they were announcingthe top winner, I think my heartskipped a beat and I closed myeyes,” Gomez recounted.

Sunway Charm“I felt that the crown was

elusive. There were four sub-sidiary awards given before thefinals and I didn’t get any,” saidGomez, noting that there wereno indications she was favoredor she would advance further inthe competition.

When she received the MissSunway Charm award beforethe announcement of the Top 5winners, she thought it was allshe would bring home.

“When I woke up the nextmorning, I asked myself, ‘Didthat really happen?’ I looked atmy bedside table and the crownwas there. ‘It did happen!’ Iwent to sleep again. When Iwoke up again, it was still there.I wasn’t dreaming!” Gomez said.

The 5-foot-8 beauty’s prizepackage included 100,000 ring-git worth of scholarship at a uni-versity in Malaysia. (One ringgitis P13.46), 500,000 ringgit incash plus jewelry and other gifts.

Gomez is expected to flyback to Kuala Lumpur to attendspecial activities in line with herduties as global tourism ambas-sadress.

Meanwhile, officers of theMutya ng Pilipinas Inc. (MPI)expressed hope that Gomez’s in-ternational accomplishmentwould usher in a new prestigeto the long-running national

beauty pageant.MPI President Jacqueline

Tan, who took the helm just thisyear, said “besting 55 other can-didates from all over the worldshows that we are in the rightdirection of giving our beautifulFilipinas the chance to provethat we have what it takes toexcel in the world of pageantry.”

Best reign everMPI production head and top

fashion designer Renee Saludassured Gomez “your reign willbe the best reign ever,” adding“I know that this will bring an-other prestigious Mutya ngPilipinas pageant for 2013.”

Gomez is the second Mutyang Pilipinas queen to bag theMiss Tourism International title,after Peachy Manzano’s triumphin 2000. Before Gomez, thecountry last placed in 2010when Barbie Salvador crackedthe Top 5 and was proclaimedMiss Cosmopolitan International.

Several other Mutya ng Pili-pinas beauties advanced in theTop 5, including actress Sheri-lyn Reyes who placed fourth in1995. Riza Martinez was fifth in1994, Mellany Montemayor wasthird in 1998 while Racquel Uyplaced second in 1999.

Gomez’s triumph capped animpressive year in pageants forFilipino contenders. Janine Tu-

gonon, Andrew Wolff andStephany Stefanowitz placedsecond in the Miss Universe,Mister World and Miss Earthpageants, respectively.

Kevin Balot was the first Fil-ipino to bag the Miss Internation-al Queen title for transvestites,transgenders and transsexualsand June Macasaet was also thefirst Filipino to win in the Man-hunt International search.

Ayelee Dasalla placed thirdin the Miss Humanity pageantwhile Elaine Kay Moll wasfourth in the Miss Supranation-al pageant, while QuenierichRehman and Nicole Schmitzcracked the semifinals in theMiss World and Miss Interna-tional pageants, respectively.

Angelee Claudett delos Reyesand Bea Santiago landed in theTop 10 of the Super Model In-ternational and Miss TourismQueen of the Year International,respectively.

Joy Pasidis and Joy MarieGangan both snagged the TopModel awards in the Mrs. Uni-verse and Best Model of theWorld pageants, respectively.

Tan said just like last year, the2013 Mutya search will extendacross the archipelago to searchat the grass roots level. Thecoronation night is scheduled inthe second half of the year.

S HE ALMOST thought of quitting her longtimeromance with beauty pageants for good.But Rizzini Alexis

Gomez, who bested 55 otherinternational delegates in the

2012/2013 Miss Tourism Inter-national in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia, last Dec. 31, said herfather inspired her to keep going.

“My dad always said, ‘If youwant something, you have tohope, and hope for the best.’ Sothat’s it. I won the Mutya ngPilipinas, and then I represent-ed the country in the MissTourism International pageant,”Gomez told media men in her

nationwide Aliwan Festival andwas declared “Reyna ng Ali-wan” while representing theSinulog Festival of Cebu.

The January festivities cele-brated in the “Queen City of theSouth” is significant for Gomeztwice over.

During the question-and-an-swer round in the Miss TourismInternational, Gomez was askedwhat is the most important festi-val in the country and whatmakes it unique. It was the samequestion that made her win her

homecoming press conferenceat the Midas Hotel in Pasay Citylast Friday afternoon.

Gomez, a registered nurse,missed the cut in the 2012Binibining Pilipinas pageant andfailed to make it to the finalround of the 2012 Miss WorldPhilippines contest.

Her sterling pageant recorddates back to 2008 when shewas proclaimed Miss Mandaue.A year after, she placed secondin the Miss Cebu pageant. In2010, she participated in the

Reyna ng Aliwan title in 2010.She replied: “One of the most

important festivals that the Fil-ipinos celebrate is the SinulogFestival. It is unique because ofthe undying devotion of the Fil-ipinos to the Señor Santo Niño orthe Child Jesus. It’s a symbol ofour cultural heritage and our uni-ty and diversity and bringing peo-ple together for a brighter future.”

Gomez also believed that thisdevotion of hers made herstand out in a field of 56formidable contenders.

RIZZINI Alexis Gomez (center) poses with her court (from left)Paraguay’s Lourdes Motta Rolon, third runner up; Australia’s Moni kaRadulovic, first runner up; Venezuela’s Marielis Castellanos, secondrunner up; and host delegate June Yong Wan Jun, fourth runner up

Jazz OcampoActress

“I was a little bit of both. Itried to be nice for the holi-days. I bought gifts for my twoyounger sisters. I made sure togive them what they wantedfor Chr i s tmas . I was a l sonaughty because I didn’t helpmy mom fix our Christmas treeat home, but that was becauseI was busy reading the scriptsof my show (‘Enchanted Gar-den’).”

Zendee Rose TenerefeSinger

“I was nice, kasi kasama kopo lagi ang mommy ko atnagtatrabaho na po ako parasa pamilya ko.”

Mon ConfiadoActor

“I was nice! Naiba ko ’yungmga usual na ginagawa konung mga nakaraang taon.Andiyan na ang pagbabago ngpersonality. Kung mapapansin’nyo, nagko-coat na ako ngay-on, ’di na ako mukhang tam-bay! Nagbibida na rin ako samga indie films kahit pa-paano. From the usual type-cast roles na kontrabida,ngayon gumagawa na ako ngmababait [na roles].”

“I was a good boy last year.I made sure that, in all mydealings with others, I didn’toffend or hurt anyone. I’mnew in show biz so I try to beprofessional always. I was al-ways on time, I don’t have

TEXTERS, PAINTERS MAGSASAGUPA

Matindi ang laban(Beau Belga, Ronnie Matias, RJQuiñahan).

May firepower ang Painterssa pangunguna ni Jeff Chan.

Ibibigay nina Jason Castro,Jimmy Alapag, Larry Foncier atRanidel de Ocampo ang puntossamantalang pahihirapan ninaAli Peek at Harvey Carey si Bel-ga sa ilalim.

‘‘Secret weapon’’ ng Painterssi defensive specialist JirehIbañez.

Kung paiba-iba ang laro ngPainters ay tila hindi nagbabagoang takbo ng direksyon ng Tex-ters sa ilalim ng sistema niBlack na ginagamit ang estilong matagumpay Ateneo BlueEagles sa UAAP.

Pinatibay ng 4-2 desisyon ngRoS kontra San Mig Coffee angobserbasyon na bagamat walangsuperstar ay pinatutunayan nawalang ‘I’ sa teamwork.

G UTOM at umaapaw sa enerhiya ang Rain orShine Painters ngunit masusubukan sila nghusto sa Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters na

pumasok sa ika-anim pagkakataon sa finals sa hulingpitong conference ng liga.

Nais rin ng Texters namakuha ang ikatlong sunod ti-tulo sa All-Filipino conferencena tinagurian PBA PhilippineCup championship.

Tulad ng inaasahan ay hindihandang magbigay ng predik-syon si Norman Black na nasaunang conference bilang headcoach ng Texters.

“I’m happy for my players,they worked really hard forthis,” wika ni Black mataposdispatsahin ng Texters ang Alas-ka Aces sa anim laro sa FinalFour series. Nais ni Black namakuha ang ika-15 titulo.

“We now have a chance towin three in a row. That’s the

goal ever since the beginning ofthe conference. I have a verygood team and they deserve tobe back in the Finals.”

Bagamat nagwagi sanakaraang Governors’ Cup,walang duda na matindi pa rinang gutom ng Painters ni coachYeng Guiao na muling magwagi.

PacquiaoNASA year 2013 na tayo, Yearof the Water Snake naman saChinese calendar at magandangabangan kung sinong boxer angunang makakasagupa ni MannyPacquiao ngayong taon.

Bukod dito, katanungan dinkung ngingiti ba kay Pacquiaoang 2013 dahil nitong nakalipasna taon hindi maganda angnaging takbo ng kanyang box-ing career.

Bukas sa ating lahat na pus-pos ng talo si Pacquiao nitong2012 at nito ngang huli mata-pos na face first siyang bu-magsak ng tamaan ng kanan niJuan Manuel Marquez sa 6thround, marami ang nagsasabina retirement day na niya.

Pero kaagad na nagsabi siPacquiao na babawi siya.

Kamakalawa ipinahayag niop Rank promoter Bob Arum na

mag-uusap na sila ni Pacquiaowithin this month para ta-lakayin ang makakalaban niyasa Abril o Setyembre.

Dalawang pangalan lamangang nasa listahan ni Arum na ir-erekomenda kay Pacquiao.

Pero siyempre aalamin dinniya kung ano ang balak ngSaranggani congressman bagoniya ibigay ang kanyang lista-han.

Sa pakikipanayam ng Exam-iner.com kay Arum, sinabi nitona Si Marquez o si Floyd May-weather Jr lamang ang nasa

kanyang listahan at ang mga itoang kanyang ipapanukala.

Bagama’t nagdi-dilly dally pasi Marquez o maaring nagpapa-presyo lamang ,sinabi ni Arumna “never say never” ang labanniya kay Mayweather.

Ayon kay Arum naroon parin ang kinang at hatak sa tak-ilya ng Pacquiao-Mayweatherfight.

Gayunpaman, mas nanini-wala si Arum na baka unahinmuna ni Pacquiao si Marquezdahil kating-kati ang Pam-bansang Kamao na maalis angstigma ng pagkatalo niya kayMarquez.

Sa ngayon hahayaan munani Arum na i-serve ni Pacquiaoang 120-day suspension ngNevada State Boxing Associa-tion bago muling umariba saensayo.
