‘Unity Tour’ Draws Fil-Ams Together in Long Beach
The thousands who came all the way to Long Beach last Saturday, Oct 24, to watch the Unity Tour came home fully satisfied, inspired and proud to be Filipinos. It was an evening of musical celebration, laughter, and fun as the seven incredible artists gave their all to entertain their audience. All the artists -legendary Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma, Asia’s Pop Idol Christian Bautista, singer/comedienne Nanette Inventor, actor Jograd Dela Torre, veteran stage actor and singer Carlo Orosa, powerful singer Isabella Gonzales, and the young balladeer from Britain’s Got Talent, Charlie Green - not only delighted the audience but encouraged them as well to keep faith in God, especially amidst these hard times.LOS Angeles lawyer Joel Bander vehemently denies accusations of acts of lasciviousness filed against him in the Philippines more than three years ago. According to Atty. Bander, the supposed victim, identified as Cristina San Jose, is a fictitious person.
“I vehemently deny the allegations of Ms. San Jose, if this person really exists. Our investigation reveals that the address given by this person who filed the charges against me is a warehouse. She did not even appear in the hearing. Hence, it is obvious, or should be, that this complaining person never had the intent to really come forward and complain but only to cause me problems,” said Atty. Bander.
