But Pupil's frontman Ely Buendia updates on Facebook:

"I have no problem w/ playing alongside the ex-Eheads. I have a problem w/ not
being informed by Tanduay that Pupil is included in the lineup.


We're not playing the rockfest. Pupil was never approached to play in the first place. Nagkaroon lang ng mixup."

So, there, Pupil is not playing at the Tanduay Rhum Rockfest.

Anyways, you can fetch a ticket by buying Tanduay products from participating 7-11 branches. You have to buy three of either Tanduay Rhum 5 years 750 ML or Cossack Blue 700 ml or a combination of the 2 for VIP tickets. Buy one of either Tanduay Rhum 5 years 750 ml or Cossack Blue 700 ml for the General Admissions ticket.

Drink moderately.

Maria Venus Raj, Miss Philippines 2010 Universe made it to the Top 5, but when she came to answer the dreaded question, she suffered a 'major major' fail.

During the Question and Answer portion, Raj was asked by American actor William Baldwin about the biggest mistake that she made in her life and what she did to make it right.

...and here's Miss Philippines 2010's answer:

"You know what, sir, in my 22 years of existence, I can say that there's nothing major major problem that I've done in my life because I'm very confident with my family, with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I'm here. Thank you, thank you so much!"
