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.

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.

From newsflash.org:

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:

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.
