FIFTEEN years ago, “Finding Nemo” was a big hit on the silver screen, prompting movie fans to ask for a sequel, this time focusing on Nemo’s forgetful friend, Dory.
It’s taken more than a decade for that fond wish to be fulfilled, but “Finding Dory” is finally hitting movie screens, with the long-awaited sequel “swimming” into Philippine cineplexes on June 15.
In the sequel, Dory (voice-acted by Ellen Degeneres) suddenly remembers that she has a family that may be looking for her, so she recruits Nemo and Marlin for a life-changing adventure across the ocean to California’s prestigious Marine Life Institute, a rehabilitation center and aquarium. Other voice actors include Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill, Eugene Levy, Diane Keaton and Ty Burrell.
Bataan Freedom Run
Last March, the Bataan Freedom Run drew many running enthusiasts to trace the path of the Bataan Death March in the province of Bataan.

The top three finishers were Argel Joseph Mendoza, Albert Ombaga and Joji Daga-As. Proceeds from the Bataan Freedom Run will be used to fund the restoration of World War II historical markers in Bataan.
