Darna to face ‘multiple’ challenges with new villain clone man
Darna (Jane De Leon) continues the fight against Extras who are wreaking havoc in Nueva Esperanza with the arrival of a new villain, Clone Man (Neil Coleta), in the hit primetime series “Mars Ravelo’s Darna.”

The Clone Man, who has the extraordinary ability to create multiple replicas of himself, is the next supervillain that Darna will have to face after the Killer Ghost (Christian Bables) was killed by Extra Task Force head Brian Robles (Joshua Garcia).

Kim Rodriguez has also joined the most-talked about series as shapeshifter Xandra, the right-hand woman of Heneral Borgo, who is seeking to find the new protector of the powerful white stone that he wants desperately in order to rule the planet Marte.

Heneral Borgo almost killed Master Klaudio/ Hergis (Joko Diaz), the one who knows the real identity of the new Darna. Now that Hergis found out that Borgo killed his child, will he take revenge and block Borgo’s plan to capture the white stone from Darna?

Meanwhile, Narda and Valentina’s friendship continues to deepen with Valentina finally confiding in Narda her topmost secret—that she hears voices that scare her. Will this growing friendship affect Darna’s search for the Babaeng Ahas?

Don’t miss “Darna” weeknights at 8 pm on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, CineMo, A2Z, and TV5. The ABS-CBN series produced by JRB Creative Production is also available on iWantTFC and TFC.

Philippines on watch for rocket debris after Chinese space launch
China launched the Long March 7A rocket on Tuesday, prompting warnings by authorities in the Philippines of the potential dangers to ships and aircraft from falling debris.

The Philippines remains on alert for reports of fallen rocket debris following China’s launch of a powerful space rocket that authorities in Manila had warned could potentially endanger aircraft and ships.

China launched the Long March 7A rocket on Tuesday night from the Wenchang Space Launch Site on Hainan island, which carried a satellite into orbit, China’s state-run Global Times reported.

Debris has not been sighted so far and there have been no reports of injuries or damage to date, Philippine Space Agency spokesperson Tricia Zafra said on Thursday.

“So far, no sighting. We continue to seek out reports,” Zafra said. “Hopefully, no injuries or damages related to it.”

Rocket parts that detach before entering space should, by their design, fall offshore less than an hour after launch, Zafra said.

In July, debris from a rocket that was launched in China landed in Philippine waters in an uncontrolled re-entry, the agency said. There were no reports of damage or injuries.

The space agency warned that rocket debris from the latest launch could crash down in two possible off-shore locations, based on a notice to pilots from China’s civil aviation administration.

The agency identified the possible “drop zones” at 71 kilometres (44 miles) off Burgos town in the Philippines’ Ilocos Norte province, and 52 kilometres (32 miles) from Santa Ana town in Cagayan province.

“While debris from CZ-7A is unlikely to fall on land features or inhabited areas in the Philippine territory, falling debris still poses a considerable threat to ships, aircraft, fishing boats and other vessels that will pass through the drop zones,” the agency had said.

The agency called on the public to immediately inform local authorities if suspected debris was sighted at sea and warned people against retrieving or coming in close contact with space rocket materials.

The Correspondents CA Throwback: Industriya ng retoke at s*x change sa Thailand
Dalawang dekada na ang nakararaan, kilala na ang bansang Thailand pagdating sa cosmetic at plastic surgery, lalo na sa mga Pilipino na nagpaparetoke, maging sa mga nagpapaopera para magpalit ng kasarian.

Sa pagbisita ng ABS-CBN News team sa Thailand noong 2004, nakilala ng grupo ang ilang Pinoy na sumailalim sa iba't ibang operasyon doon.

Halos taon-taong nasa bansa si Crimsoña Amistad para magdala ng mga kaibigang nais magparetoke.

Maraming operasyon na rin ang pinagdaanan ni Amistad sa kaniyang katawan maging ang pagpapalit niya ng kasarian.

Dalawampung taong gulang lang si Amistad nang magpa-s*x change sa New York kung saan mismong mga magulang niya ang nagbayad sa kaniyang operasyon.

Sa Thailand siya nagpapabalik-balik para sa pagpapagawa ng kaniyang dibdib at iba pang pagpaparetoke sa katawan.

"I'm happier and I've also had a revision done this time besides having my liver... and I have gone to treat my liver besides having a revision and aesthetic surgery for my va**na as well," kuwento ni Amistad kay Karen Davila.

Para lubusang maunawaan kung bakit naging eksperto ang Thailand pagdating sa cosmetic at plastic surgery, dinala ni Amistad ang ABS-CBN News team sa isang lugar kung saan makikita ang mga naggagandahang 'ladyboy' doon, ang mga transgender woman.

RETOKE HINDI PARA SA LAHAT

Nakapanayam ng ABS-CBN News ang may-ari ng Yanhee Hospital, isa sa kilalang ospital sa Thailand na eksperto pagdating sa cosmetic at plastic surgery.

Ayon kay Yanhee Hospital CEO Dr. Supot Sumritvanitcha, bagamat malaki ang ambag ng 'lipo-tourism' sa ekonomiya ng kanilang bansa, hindi sila basta-basta nagsasagawa ng pagreretoke kung kanino lang.

"We reject a lot of people because they come in, they're already beautiful. They come in, they just want to make their nose higher or their eyes bigger. The doctor will tell them it's not necessary. We just don't do everybody who walks in," sabi ni Sumritvanitcha.

Ipinakita naman ng beauty expert na si Elvie Pineda ang hile-hilerang cosmetic at plastic surgery clinics doon.

Nagsimula ang karera ni Pineda sa pagpapaganda sa Thailand.

Sampung taon siyang nag-training at nag-assist sa mga doktor sa Yanhee Ospital.

"Magagaling silang doktor. You'll be surprised. Townhouse lang siya pero clinic siya," kuwento niya.

Silipin ang paraiso ng mga nais magparetoke o magpa-improve ng body parts, kasama ang ilang Pilipino na nagpa-opera doon sa dokumentaryong 'Pasyal Retoke' ng programang The Correspondents na unang ipinalabas sa ABS-CBN Channel 2 noong 2004.
