wala?

Wala bang JJ personality for the month of December?

Last year, si baby Jesus ang featured natin. Dapat this year, sya ulit. Pero wala.

"Bakit?"

Bakit? Naalala mo ba Siya nitong December? Naalala mo ba Siya nitong Pasko?

Roxin Larazo

(jj guy of the month, november)

People of the world, meet The Frogman!

Pero kung taga Jalajala ka, malamang ay kilala mo na si Roxin Larazo dahil dati na siyang nasa paligid-ligid lang ng Jalajala, kakalat-kalat (hehe) pero huwag ka ng magtataka kung bigla ka niyang babatiin kung magkita man kayo sa Pasig, sa Makati, sa Mandaluyong, sa QC at ngayon ay sa loob ng GMA Kapuso Network kung saan siya nagtatrabaho.

Matagal ko ng kilala si Rox, nakakalaro sa baskeball, nakakainuman at nakakakwentuhan. At ang masasabi ko ay siya ang isa sa pinakamasayang taong makakasama mo sa buong buhay mo. Halos lahat ng patawang mauuso sa JJ, malamang ay kay Roxin nagsimula. Di na ako magtataka kung balang araw ay mabalitaan na lang nating comedy talent o writer sya sa GMA 7.

Pero hindi lang sa katatawanan maasahan ang taong ito. Kahit sa mga siryosong bagay ay di ka niya iiwanan dahil maaasahang kaibigan at kapamilya (este- kapuso) si Frogman. Madami siyang kaibigan, JBHAD, Jarfe, Simple Hearts at iba pa.

Kahit sa ibang lugar, kapag nakita ka nya at alam niyang taga Jalajala ka, babatiin ka niya. Sabi nga niya, sa lakad pa lang, alam na niyang taga Jalajala. Di sya suplado kahit sikat na errr-- Nagugulat na lang ako minsan kapag tatawagin niya ako kung nasa Maynila ako at nagkakasabay kami sa jeep. Hindi ko pa nga makikilala minsan dahil malaki na ang pinagbago niya in terms of looks, gwapings ba. Malamang ay nahahawa siya sa mga artistang kaibigan niya sa GMA.

Yan si Roxin.

Gerginne Balmes

(jj girl of the month, october)

We all heard about that typical stereotype of a nerdy student. Intelligent, yes. What else? Thick glasses, unkempt face, clothes only grandmamas would wear.

And this month, we have Gerginne. She’s intelligent, a really bright student. A nerdy type?

No way. Gerginne Balmes belongs to that small group of people. The cool, astig, intelligent type. She’s a consistent top student since her nursery grade in John Paul Integrated Montessori School in Jalajala. She’s now a first year highschool student in JPIS but guess what, not only is she a top student, Gerginne is also the class president.

It’s pretty obvious too that she’s a pretty, young lady. Sabi nga nung isang friend nya, habulin daw ng guys, meaning madaming nagkaka-crush sa kanya. And why not? She’s kind, approachable, makulit sa school. Tagatawa sa mga jokes, pero matindi din daw kapag humirit. But she’s not all that. She thinks and reasons older that what her actual age is. It’s not uncommon for Gerginne to give advices to her older cousins and aunts. She’s also a responsible daughter, a loving sister and a reliable friend.

Gerginne loves badminton, loves to dance specially ballroom dancing. She knows how to play a guitar, loves surfing the net at syempre, ang mawala-na-ang-lahat-wag-lang ang texting hehe…

jayson brillantes

(jj guy of the month, september)

Jayson Brillantes was born under the astrological sign of Cancer. According to his friends and family, he possesses most of the typical aspects of those people under this water sign. To wit:

Cancer guys are simple, mabait at hindi mayabang. They are sensitive to the feelings of people he cares about, people around him. Ganito si Jayson, they say.

Cancer guys are friendly, to the point that some people mistake them to be flirty with the opposite sex. But don’t let that fools you. Cancer guys, like Jayson, are loyal to the one they love. Madami magkaka-crush kay Jayson, may mga mai-inlove, but Jayson knows kung sino ang totoo nyang mahal. And he sticks to her.

But beware girls! As Jayson himself said, he can forgive, but he doesn’t forget (Yikes!) kaya behave dapat kayo hehe

Jayson is makulet in his own way, may sense of humor, masaya kasama but he has his other side too, na magaling makinig sa kwento at problema ng iba. And like the animal crab, with which the sign Cancer is known for, most Cancer guys are attached to their home, to their family. Importante sa kanila ang kanilang tirahan at ang pamilya. And this is evidenced by Jayson’s closeness to her sister.

Jayson studied highschool in SMPS, class of 2000, then went on to AMA Computer Learning Center. He likes basketball, billiards, action and love story movies.

And yes, he is single but girls, you have to wait a little longer because he is in a US Army base in Baghdad Iraq right now, working as a transport logistic supervisor.


Dickie Domingo

(jj person of the month, august)

Educators, the people who impart knowledge that pushes civilization forward, are the noblest human being amongst us. We are who we are because of those people, our school teachers, our parents, the elderly man of the village, who teach us what we need to know in order to be a productive part of a community we are all a part of. I have always had great respect for educators.

That is why I admire Mam Dickie Domingo, the woman behind John Paul Integrated Montessori School of Jalajala. JPIMS was established in our town about a decade ago but they have already produced very promising young men and women who, no doubt, will achieve their full potentials. Thanks, in large part, to the school they studied in, which imparts in them the solid educational foundation that these JPIMS alumni and current students will need as they traverse whichever life path they might choose. It's no wonder that she is also raising her own wonderful kids who adores her and consider her as the greatest mom in the world.

Mam Dickie is not only an educator to these JPIMS kids but also a friend, a confidante, a second mother away from home, a disciplinarian, a protector, a nurturer, that is why students who have stepped outside the JPIMS gate into the outside world still find their way going back to Mam Dickie and the JPIMS, may it be in person or thru the click of their computer mouse.

Mam Dickie attended Rizal High School in Pasig City (batch 77) and continues her studies in Colegio del Buen Consejo and Rizal Technological University. She likes Enya songs, bossanova, classical/broadway and christian songs.


She may not hail originally from Jalajala but Mam Dickie is as much a part of Jalajala as you and me because of the work she is doing in shaping Jalajala kids and the future generation.

margreth pillas

(jj girl of the month, july)

"There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.


All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need."

When a person almost have everything, beauty and brain, awesome personality, a good education, a nice, stable job, a loving family, great friends, most of the time, all he/she really need is love.

Just like Maggie here.

Margreth Pillas is a pretty 23-year-old lass who came from Brgy. Punta. She’s from a loving family, which she cares about deeply. She has lots of friends as she is easy and fun to be with. Di ka daw mao-OP kapag kasama mo siya kahit for the first time. Maggie is a jolly person but a very emotional one. That is probably why she loves senti, RNB and love songs. She may be emotional, but she is one tough chick. She’s independent in her own way, which is why her fave movies are So Close and Naked Weapon, movies about beautiful, tough women.

Maggie studied highschool in SMPS then went on to Jose Rizal University where she graduated with a computer engineering degree. She’s now a BPO associate in Accenture.

See? She almost have everything. But then, she describe her current state of relationship as “It’s Complicated”. Whoever is that guy, come on now, all she need is love.

Sabi nga nya: "they say a person needs 3 things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do and something to hope for."

allen bautista

(featured jj guy of the month, june)


What does Harry Potter and our very own banana snack "turon" have in common? Well, not much as I guess- if they have at all. Pero give a turon and a Harry Potter book to Allen Bautista and he will be a happy guy. Favorite nya kasi ang dalawang iyon hehe

But what does Allen and Harry-Potter-actor Daniel Radcliffe have in common? They both have lots of female fans. Well, fans for Daniel and female friends for Allen.

Looking at the comments section of his Friendster account, mapapansin nyong halos mga babae lang ang nagco-comment. I assume mga kaibigan at kabarkada nya lahat iyon pero all of them have one common thing na sinasabi. That they miss our boy Allen here, that sana di sila makalimutan ni Allen someday, that if he needs a friend, they will be there for him.

Di ko naman sinasabi na lahat sila may crush kay Allen pero I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them have HD for our boy here hehehe

Known to his friends as Aeken, he is from Jalajala, studying at Informatics International College, loves playing badminton, reading Potter books, writing poems, and also dig Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks songs. His friends describe him as uber-friendly, out going, a genius on general info matters, mahilig sa pictures, madaling maka-close, mabait at masayan kasama.

Sa mga girls na interested, eto na ang info na inaabangan nyo. Yes, he is still single hehe

Maria Therese Bassig

featured jj girl of the month, may


Si Wu Chun. Hindi ko kilala si Wu Chun at sa tingin ko, hindi rin nanainisin ng ibang mga guys na makilala ang artistang iyon. Pero ang masasabi ko lang, fave actor ni Tere Si Wu Chun. But we don’t care about him, because right now, we want to know more about Tere.

Student ng John Paul Integrated Montessori School of Jalajala si Maria Therese Bassig. Isa siya sa prettiest students ng JPIMS pero she’s not all beauty dahil fave book nya ang mga science and math books. Syempre, kasama na dun ang mga books about ghost stories kahit pa madaling matakot si Tere.

She’s also a music lover. Marami syang favorite songs and she loves listening to them. She also likes watching movies and TV and syempre, surfing the net where usually, she can be seen google-ing Wu Chun.

But that is not all there is to this young lady. She has a soft spot for her relatives too, specially her cousins, her aunts and uncles, and her beloved lola. At kung magkakasama sila, you can expect picture galore as she loves taking their pictures.

Now you know a little bit more about this girl but I bet you wanted to know more, do you? Yeah, I thought so.

If I were you, I will also try to know more abou this Wu Chun guy para malay mo, swerte mong makakwentuhan si Tere and di ba mas okay if you have some things in common? That’s right, open your internet explorer and search for stuff about Wu Chun. Then pray to the gods that you, one day, get to talk to Tere.

Good luck boy…

Jhonny Anago

featured jj guy of the month, april

Sa basketball court, kilala siya bilang si Jhonny A, pero hindi siya pointguard kagaya ni "Jhonny A" Abarrientos. Siya ay forward/center ng perennial champions JBHAD basketball team.

Mananayaw din siya ng JBHAD dance group.

Sa mga chikababes, kilala siya bilang si Papa Jhonny. "Shoot Papa Jhonny!", yan ang sigaw ng mga babes (at gays na rin) kapag naglalaro siya sa JBHAD team.

Sabi ni Udo, kilalang-kilala din siya ng mga Alabang Girls ng Brgy. 3rd District. I-set mo!

Sa pamilya nila, kilala si Jhonny bilang isang magalang, mapagmahal at responsableng anak at kapatid. Ayos sa kanyang Friendster, ang gusto niyang makilalang babae ay "SOME1 NA MAY MALAKING PAG GALANG SA MGA MAGULANG AT NAKAKATANDA." Yan ang ideal woman nya.

Sa mga kaibigan naman niya, kilala siya bilang isang maasahan, masayahin at matapat na kaibigan.

Yan si Jhonny Anago, isang taga Jalajala.

Nag-aral si Jhonny sa Jalajala Elementary School at nag-high-school sa SMPS, batch 1993. Pinagpatuloy nya ang kanyang pag-aaral sa Rizal Polytechnic College kung saan nakatapos sya ng degree in electronics.

Single pa siya ngayon pero girls, before rushing out and go looking for him, teka muna. Wala siya sa Jalajala ngayon dahil nagtatrabaho siya ngayon sa Qatar. Malas nyo.

Dahil naniniwala pa naman si Jhonny A. sa: "THE REAL MAN NEVER LEAVE THE WOMAN HE LOVE TILL THE END, FROM THE START"

Jerica Lara Corneta

(featured jj girl of the month, march)

Jerica Lara Corneta. Icah. Sino si Icah?

From what I know, nasa California na siya. A long way from her former home in J. Rizal St. in 2nd District. Tiningnan ko ang Friendster profile ni Icah to find out what’s new about her… wala akong nakitang ibang info.

From what I remember about Jerica Lara, dati siyang nag-aaral sa John Paul Integrated Montessory School of Jalajala. Her schoolmates knew her well kasi pretty sya and honor student pa.

Sabi ng mga friends nya, makulit daw si Icah, masayang kasama. Pero tahimik din sya, lalo na when around people she really doesn’t know.

She loves to dance, likes to go to malls, laging nakaharap sa computer games but never fails to maintan good grades.

She cares deeply about their family.

Oo nga pala, birthday nya this month.

Some say, hindi mo talaga malalaman kung ano ang iniisip ni Icah. You wouldn’t really know what’s on her mind. Maybe because she’s more matured than her age right now. I think it’s because she’s the “Ate” of the kids around her.

From all of these, I still couldn’t help myself from asking: Sino ba talaga si Icah?

Icah is an enigma, a mystery waiting to be solved.

I think she wants it that way.

Mara Janelle Mariano

featured jj girl of the month, february


Ngayong buwan ng mga puso, magiging ganap na dalaga na ang isang dalaginding (yihee, "dalaginding" daw) na taga Jalajala, si Mara. Mag-e-18th birthday na kasi siya at magde-debut. Invited daw tayo at ng mapanood ang kanyang 18 "wishes".

I think most of taga-bayan, kilala si Mara Janelle Mariano. Hindi naman sa kakalat-kalat kasi siya, minsan lang hehe, pero madami kasi siyang mga kakilala at kaibigan.

Ang mga hobbies nya ay texting, texting, texting at texting. Mahilig din sya mg collect ng boyfriend pero madalas naman masaktan base na rin sa shoutbox nya sa friendster "d lst tym i fel n luv, i got rEaly huRt & i told myself nvr 2 fall once agen but den u came & touched my hurt sbi q "last n 2, n mgmmhal aqUh....", hehe

Magaling sa videoke si Mara, lasing man sya o hindi. Pero mas magaling kapag may tama na. Ngayon nga lang bawal na syang uminom kase masama sa health nya.

This lady studied in Greenfield Montessory School here in Jalajala nung elementary at highschool nya. She went on to study Nursing in Global City Innovative College kung saan paborito siya ng mga kaklase nya dahil masaya siyang kasama at nagpapakopya ng answers sa mga exams. O ha, beauty plus brain plus matulungin pa sa kapwa. Wag nyo lang gagalitin at nakakatakot daw itong kaaway hehehe... sabi lang naman nila.
