How Filipinos celebrate Independence Day

May iba-ibang paraan ang mga kababayan natin sa pagdiriwang ng ating kalayaan. May higanteng saranggola sa Isabela na hugis bandila. Nasa Camarines Norte naman ang kauna-unahang bantayog ni Rizal. Sa Iloilo, may giant bukayo na bandila ang disenyo. At sa Albay, inilatag at pinagsaluhan ang libu-libong pinangat. Ang mga patok na balita, i-Bandila mo, Rod Macenas.

LONDON, United Kingdom - The first photos of Britain's Princess Charlotte together with Prince George, who is pictured giving his baby sister a kiss, were released by Kensington Palace on Saturday.

The four photographs, taken by their mother Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, show 21-month-old George sitting on a sofa holding Charlotte.
The portraits were taken when Charlotte, born on May 2, was around two weeks old.
They were taken at Anmer Hall, Prince William and his wife Kate's country mansion on his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's private Sandringham estate in Norfolk, eastern England.
Propped up by two white cushions, Charlotte appears to be wearing a white romper suit with a matching jumper.
Her brother is dressed in a white shirt with blue piping detail around the collar, cuffs and front, and matching blue socks and shorts.
One picture shows George planting a kiss on his sister's forehead, another shows him tenderly looking down at her, a third shows him looking up and a fourth shows him smiling.
"Prince George and Princess Charlotte together at home #WelcomeToTheFamily," Kensington Palace, William and Kate's official residence in London, said as they released the image on social media.
"We're delighted to share the first photo of Prince George with his little sister Princess Charlotte.
"The photo of Prince George and Princess Charlotte was taken by The Duchess of Cambridge in mid-May."
Pictures of George have been rare. Only a handful of sets have been released, while he has rarely been seen in public.
The first pictures released of George at home after his birth were taken by Kate's father Michael Middleton.
George, who is directly in line to inherit the throne after his grandfather Prince Charles and then William, was last seen when his father took him to hospital to see his newborn sister.
Earlier, Kensington Palace released pictures of the multitudes of gifts, cards and toys the family received after Charlotte's birth, sent from all around the world.
They showed bundles of mail stacked up on filing cabinets, knitted dolls, slippers and bonnets and hand-written cards from schoolchildren.
"Thank you to everyone who took the time to make handmade gifts," the palace said.
It was announced Friday that Charlotte will be christened on July 5 at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Sandringham, where William's late mother Diana was baptized.
Charlotte will be christened as a member of the Church of England by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, spiritual leader of the Anglican Church.
William and Kate have been staying at Anmer Hall in Sandringham since Charlotte's birth at St Mary's Hospital in London.
In tribute to his grandmother and mother, William and Kate gave Charlotte the middle names Elizabeth and Diana.
The princess is fourth in line to the throne after her brother Prince George, who was born on July 22, 2013. He was baptized at St James's Palace in London.

Review: 'Insidious 3' shows evolution of Elise

ByFred Hawson

The first two "Insidious" films were about how the embattled Lambert family was helped by one Elise Rainier to fight the ghosts that had latched on to them. This frail-looking, soft-spoken elderly lady is a psychic who uses her gift to help people communicate with the dead by being able to enter the spirit dimension called "The Further."

Here in "Insidious: Chapter 3," we get to know Elise more as she becomes the central character and we learn how she had evolved into the demon fighter we know.

In this present episode, we go two years before the events of the first "Insidious" film. Elise Rainier had already retired from contacting spirits because a malevolent female ghost had been threatening to kill her whenever Elise made spirit contacts. Young Quinn Brenner sought her services to talk to her recently departed mother Lilith. After initial resistance, Elise relented and tried to help Quinn make contact.

However, in that session, an evil spirit dubbed The Man Who Can't Breathe, a wheezy old man with an oxygen mask, seemed to have latched on to poor Quinn causing the teen to experience serious physical injuries and various other eerie manifestations. As the ghostly activity in their apartment escalate, Quinn's father Sean sought Elise's assistance again to help Quinn out of her ghostly predicament. Can Elise conquer her own ghosts in time to help Quinn conquer hers?

After having known Elise Rainier from the previous two "Insidious" films, I have grown fond of this brave woman. With her kind face and gentle voice, veteran actress Lin Shaye imbues Elise with a serene grandmotherly demeanor which audiences can easily root for when her character experiences adversities. Her climactic spirit battle scene here in "Chapter 3" drew positive audience response when Elise uncharacteristically displayed her own brand of badass bravado.

I enjoyed the part where they showed the origin of the Spectral Sightings team of mohawked techie Tucker and nerdy writer Specs, played by Angus Sampson and Leigh Whannell. Like in the two previous films, these two guys effectively provide the humorous relief in the proceedings. As the victim of the ghostly attacks, Stefanie Scott was very natural and likeable in her portrayal of Quinn. She was adequately supported by Dermot Mulroney as her harassed single father Sean.

Writer Leigh Whannell also tries on the directorial gloves for the first time for this film. Certainly he drew a lot from the original director James Wan's style to keep the distinct "Insidious" atmosphere intact. Plenty of the horror here were jump scares -- those long silent pauses that were shattered by loud blasts of music and a sudden spooky image on screen will jolt you.

Despite being a prequel, Whannell also effectively injected elements which tied in with the first two films like the Bride in Black and the Red-Faced Ghost, whose unexpected appearances surely excited "Insidious" fans.

Overall, I would suspect that fans of the first "Insidious" films will appreciate this film more. I think this sentimental attachment we feel towards Elise and the other continuing characters contributed much to my appreciation for this third chapter. Part 4 is such a welcome prospect. 7/10
