Michael V graces cover of Reader’s Digest (Asian Edition)
Comedian Michael V is on the cover of the September 2008 issue of Reader’s Digest, becoming only the 2nd Filipino to achieve that feat (the first one was former President Cory Aquino).

Reader’s Digest is a widely read general interest family magazine, which started in the United States and has international editions, including Asia. The comedian said he was so surprised because he thought the magazine would only write a feature story about his life. “Parang ‘di ako makapaniwala kasi may nagpadala ng sulat regarding the cover. Sabi pangalawang Pinoy palang daw ako na mag co-cover.” he said. “So parang di ko alam gagawin ko talaga. Kasi alam ko lang may feature. ‘Di ko alam na mag co-cover pala.” he added. He is a mainstay of GMA Network’s gag show Bubblegang and he is also the host of Bitoy’s Yari Ka.

I think you are mis-informed….. actually ikatlo na s’ya. Ang pangalawang filipino na na-feature dun e isang policewoman with her uniform (Ligaya “Joy” Cabal).
August 25th, 2008 at 7:56 pm

August 26th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Napaghahalata ko na tong mukamo, selective posting ang ginagawa. Alam ko na ang mga contributions ko ay sarcastically provocative against mga kapamilya, pero yong iba dyan, majority of them kapamilya, exhibits blatant disregard of others feeling and most of them are profanity filled, yet they still have their piece posted. I’m asking MUKAMO to review your policy. Try to be fair at the least. Pwe!

somehow i doubt it because reader’s digest’s circulation is not that much extensive logistically and its market share is lower by worldwide standards so i dont think it s pretty much at par with the achievements of abs cbn. kung makapasok siya sa oprah, britain’s got talent or kay ellen baka pa.

It’s so inspiring to us Filipinos that you are featured as cover of the “Reader’s Digest”[Asian Edition]. Ang galing mong Komedyante Bitoy.!!! Keep up the good work & more power…..

Another open letter addressed to the editor: You had successfully suppressed my opinions albeit my resiliency in expressing my thoughts with regards to the issues dealing with the warring networks. Never had I exhibited hostility towards anyone; much of my comments were meant to cause no harm; it was all in jest and for the sake of having fun.
You were supposed to be non-partisan… That you would cater to everyone regardless of their affiliations. A Medium, hence the word middle, middleman, in between, neutral, etc… That you will abide by the very oath you have sworn.
Selective posting, to me, opposes everything you stand for.
I have witnessed the Marcos era when media was a forgotten profession. When media was nothing more but an adornment for the benefit of the dictator. That very same treatment is being applied here.
I would like to suggest a thorough review of your policy and that you will adhere by it.
You may have won the war this time but the battle is just beginning….

August 26th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Boy Bawang read and analyze the statement carefully. I am merely starting the battle that was presented to me thus, the war may have been on his side.
And as to the composition of statement “didn’t you meant” has a lot of changes to be desired. Nagyayabang ka puro naman mali ingles mo.
August 27th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Hoy kung mag-aaway man lang kayo, di iuntog ko mga ulo nyo ano?
August 27th, 2008 at 3:10 am
haha e panong di mapapaaway e wala kasi sa lugar ang mga posts

If i know copy paste lang yan ni AGBMA Katchupoy pinatranslate mo lang yan bago mo ipost noh buking ka na!Sa high tech natin ngayon kaya na gawin lahat kaya wag ka magdunung-dunungan, dati rati naman nagtatagalog ka pa nga lang mali mali na at nabibisaya pa, ingles pa kaya. Buti nga sayo nonsense kasi mga comment mo puro pakyaw pakyaw la namang wenta.

Hahaha… Si GMA Sikat buking. Buti nga…tsk, tsk. Good for nothing…B****ch.
-Tanunging mo kaya si aling barang barang na taga dibersoria at mga kanguso duon sa GMA tungkol diyan.
Anyhow, here’s my tip: In order to be post your comments to Mukamo is to OPEN your INBOX each and every time there’s an email coming from the Mukamo site.
Trust me, I know this because it happened to me, also, do not delete your messages (from the Mukamo Philippines) without opening them first. I hope that help.
-Good Luck!

You may have won the war this time but the battle is just beginning….
to gma sikat:
and i suggest that you have a thourough examination of your mind. better yet seek advice from a psychiatrist because all your comments opinions are downright manifestations of your “GMA” imagniation which as what most people here agree to be a weebit “slum”. your criticisms are also rather useless and downright out of the point. if you dont understand that, that is your problem.
you might want first to ask PEP to review their own policy because that forum or website or whatever is 100% bais to gma.
August 27th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
agree ako rta hay naku napaka bias ng Pep lahat ng news nila dun puro papuri sa gma pero pag sa abs ang dami nilang sinasabing against sa station… pati mga kapamilya binaban nila mga username pano di nila matanggap yung katotohanan ng mga kasiraan nila at ang pagka cheap ng mga palabas nila.
