What’s the Theme Song of Etheria?

Another telefantasya in brewing up somewhere and it’s call Etheria. Got a comment several days ago about Etheria and was asking if I know the themesong for it.

Unfortunately, I am still in the dark what this Etheria is. I should be watching more TV, I guess.

Anyway, once I get hold of this Etheria Theme Song, I’m sure to have the ringtone put up as well.

Plinky Recto sues Live-in Partner

News about Plinky Recto has been going around. She is allegedly suing her live-in partner whom she would not name publicly because the case is still in the courts.

Apparently, this issue was due to some domectic violence on the part of Plinky Recto. She has been under care and protection of Gabriela, a women’s rights party list group.

BISHOPS, PRIESTS, LAYMEN PROTEST JARQUE HARASSMENT

October 18, 2005 (STAR) THE SOUTHERN BEAT

Jarque, incidentally, was consultant of the National Democratic Front in the peace negotiations. He joined the NDF after he suffered harassment from landowner Magdaleno Pena. The charges against Jarque and some of his men were later dropped by the Sandiganbayan and the Ombudsman for lack of merit.

There’s also an article on the goolge’s search list that involved Atty. Magdaleno Peña in a case versus him and Urban Bank.

Now, a reference to both Gen Jarque and the Urban Bank case was mentioned by Plinky in a TV interview with Ces Drilon’s tv program “Get Real” aired on November 29, 2005.

So, circumstantially, Plinky’s ex-lover who beat her was Atty. Magdaleno Peña.

A story was ran on StarTalk last November 26 which also includes the ff:

Billboard chimes in on ring tones

From CNet News back in October 2004:

Billboard magazine now sees ring tones as worth including in its venerable top-seller listings.

The music industry magazine will soon be publishing a list of best-selling ring tones, alongside its more traditional categories, like best-selling album.

The new listing, which debuts in the Nov. 6 issue, reflects the “growth, innovation and success of the rapidly growing mobile music market,” Billboard said in a statement Tuesday. The “Hot Ringtones” chart will list the top 20 selling ring tones for each week. It will be based on sales of polyphonic, or “real music,” ring tones compiled primary from U.S.-based providers, Billboard said.

U.S. retains control of the Net Microsoft sees no money from Money Surf’s up for management software Google Base service goes live , which were introduced about three years ago in the United States, have grown increasingly sophisticated. Sales are increasing 20 percent to 30 percent every three months and are expected to reach a record $250 million this year, according to recording industry sources. Billboard and the CTIA, a cell phone trade group, estimated Tuesday that ring tone sales will be higher this year–about $300 million.

Once limited to just nine different musical tones playing one after another, ring tones now feature complex harmonies and any number of different sounds. In the future, it’s expected that ring tones will be accompanied by graphics.

Ring tones are among the biggest hits in the market for cell phone services and content.
