WHEE! WHEE! WHEE!
As featured in the Philippine Star, read Gino dela Paz's article called "Slummer Holidays". It's a feature about this new trend in leisure travel called "Poorism", (a term that mixes "poverty" and "tourism") which is apparently all the rage now in India and Brazil. But is "poorism" really helping the poor or objectifying them? One wonders. Either way, perhaps that's the word I should've used for my former "All the Way Down to Chinatown" tour, the one where I would take unsuspecting folks into the House on Madrid Street where we would hand out free birth control and discuss social issues. Good thing I never really charged people money for that tour (I only accepted anonymous donations) - lest ANYONE OUT THERE think that I make money off the less fortunate. Thank you Barefootincowshit for the photo.
Oh, and thanks a million to Jenna Castro of Guidon Magazine for the great article!

i dont get it. why is brian attacking you?
Is it true that you and Gino dela Paz are lovers as alleged by Brian Gorrell?
Brian Gorrell has gotten boring, and people have lost interest. I don't quite understand his beef with you.
Brian is getting erratic lately!
He's not mentioning DJ any more but concentrating his attacks on Yap.
Carlos, I agree with you. Brian is way out of line.
I feel for the guy too, I mean 70 thousand dollars is no joke. I would never be able to come up with that amount of money. But alot of the people he tries to destroy have done nothing to him. It is sad that people take pleasure in reading such things. One other blogger justified the paninira of chikatime by saying it "immensely" entertained people anyway. Ok it did entertain alot of people, but at what cost? Imagine this being done to your children? Or your spouse? Is it "ok" because its entertaining anyway?
I really hope people would have enough decency in themselves to finally say enough is enough.
Do you have your tour dates for this July?
Can you just imagine if he just channelled all that hate energy into something more productive? He probably would have earned his 75k now and more. Now he's just given more glory to the likes of the Coochie Club etc. Bad publicity is still publicity. I would have asked for funds to make it a movie or a play. Just ignore all them all and they will go away. At least to you. For the people who still mind them, then it's their problem and not anyone else'.
Yes. It's true. Me and Gino are lovers. I'm leaving Tesa and Gino and I are getting married in Monterrey, California in the fall..
HELLO?? How insane is that?
OF COURSE GINO AND I ARE NOT LOVERS. What the hell?
Good question about the beef with me.
I just bitched at Brian a few months ago because me made a post about a friend of mine. I told him he was out of line and should stick to the topic of DJ. (well, that and a lot more expletives, of course).
For some reason, the post was removed. I guess he changed his mind about me. (Thanks a million to all out there who came to my defense - whether it was printed or not).
Update:
Talked to Brian and we are now at peace with each other. The way it should have been from the start.
To get back to the topic, what is that building in the picture and where is that Carlos in Manila? That looks like pre war architecture that needs to be discussed in the comment section and not about Carlos' sex life.
Brian Concepcion
Hey (yet another) Brian,
Nice to hear from you. That is not in Manila actually, it's in India. Got it from flickr account of some guy who went on one a reality tours tour.
Ah, I didn't exmine the picture closely. It does remind me of the old buildings downtown that survived world war II. How is the Luneta hotel retro fit project coming along? I heard they were also renovating/restoring the metropolitan theatre, is that true?
Brian Concepcion (the other Brian)
The Luneta Hotel project seems to moving along well. Some say it's Lucio Tan who bought the Luneta Hotel. I looked inside it. It's totally gutted. Only the facade remains and the interiors are going to be totally retrofitted. Very cool. And complex. And slow project.
The Met still looks shuttered to me. But I'll take a look soon. I also heard the same thing but I haven't heard anything further for a while.
speaking of the met, man, i did a piece on that 2 years ago for the morning show (during november to be exact as a halloween special) and i was scared more of the overwhelming fungal activity in the air and unstable wood flooring than the alleged ghosts in residence at that wonderful building.
can someone please save this absolutely gorgeous but decaying landmark?! do we need to revive Vilma In Person (they taped there more than half their shelf life) just to get things going?! CARLOS!!! HELP!!!
la lang. rantings at 4 am :) miss you sweets :)
Ricci! So nice to hear from you! Long time no see. Actually, I think the repair of the met is in the works...
Miss you too!
Take care dear.
