WATCH: Pinay singing group impresses Kpop star

MANILA - There is no stopping a singing group composed of four siblings from Santiago City from conquering the world with their powerful vocals.

Siblings Mylene, Irene, Celina and Almira once conquered the hearts of the "madlang people" when they won the grand prize on the noontime show, It's Showtime back in 2012 as the Gollayan Sisters.

The following year, they represented the Philippines and brought home the title of Senior Grand Champion Vocal Group of the World at the 17th Annual World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) in the US.

Now, the sisters are setting their sights on South Korea. They made it to the audition of Superstar K6, a reality talent show contest in Korea.

"When we were little we were just watching videos of KPop. After school, we go straight to the house and form our dances, form our vocals by our own. We thought this was just our bonding moment," the group said in a video interview on their flight to South Korea.

Now called MICA, which stands for the first letters of their names, the siblings described themselves as KPop and Korean drama fanatics.

Their favorite performer is Korean-American singer Ailee, who happened to one of the judges in the competition.

"For us she's like the Beyonce of Korea. We idolize her. We didn't know that she's one of the judges. We've been watching her videos on YouTube and now were here," the sisters said.

They performed one of Ailee's hits to the delight of the Korean singer.

"I'm really impressed that you guys harmonized everything. Had everything on point, it really, really moved me. By far the most amazing rendition I've ever heard. Thank you so much," Ailee said.

Aside from Ailee’s song, the group also performed their rendition of ‘Let It Go’ from the popular Disney movie Frozen.

The sisters said joining Superstar K is not a joke for them.

"It's like a very huge competition in Asia. Being part of this is like a dream come true. we can share our talents to the whole world," they said.

The couple reportedly married in a private ceremony attended by family and friends. Pitt and Jolie obtained a marriage license from a local California judge, who also conducted the ceremony in France.

Pitt and Jolie's six children were also in the wedding. Jolie walked the aisle with her eldest sons Maddox, 13, and Pax, 11. Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, threw flower petals while Shiloh, 8, and Knox, 6, served as ring bearers.

Jolie, 39, and Pitt, 50, started dating while working together on the 2005 film "Mr. And Mrs. Smith." The couple, dubbed Bragelina, got engaged in April 2012 after seven years of dating.

The "Maleficent" star spoke to People about her wedding plans in May 2014:

"We're just waiting for it to be the right time with the kids, with work, when it feels right," Jolie said.

"We talk about it occasionally, and the kids talk about it with us, which is verging on hysterical, how kids envision a wedding. They will in a way be the wedding planners. It's going to be Disney or paintball - one or the other! We've got a lot of different personalities in the house. They've got some strong opinions," she continued.

"It will be fun. That's the important thing. When we do it, it will feel like a great day for our family," Jolie said.

17-year-old girl jumps out of car to escape alleged abductor CCTV footage showed

Police are on the lookout for a silver gray Toyota Camry involved in the alleged abduction of a 17-year-old girl.

The girl was able to escape her abductor at around 6:47 a.m. on Saturday.

A CCTV footage showed, however, that the teen was naked when she jumped out of the moving car as it went through Maria Clara Street in Barangay Plainview, Mandaluyong City.

The girl, seen clutching her clothes, was immediately assisted by bystanders and brought to the barangay outpost where the girl got dressed and told her story.

The teen said the man in the car called her attention as she was walking in Martinez Street in Mandaluyong. He asked her for directions to a remittance center and convinced her to get in the car so she could show him exactly where it was.

The girl, an employee of a canteen in Makati, said the man "had a beard," was "fair-skinned" and "spoke English very well."

Once she was inside the car, the driver locked the doors and pointed a gun at her. He then ordered her to strip.

As they drove around the area, the girl managed to open the car door and jump out.

Mandaluyong police declined to give more details about the incident to the media, while officials of Barangay Plainview are still trying to determine the plate number of the abductor's car.

Meanwhile, the girl has been brought to the Department of Social Welfare and Development office.

Doctors in India have removed the skeleton of a foetus that had been inside a woman for 36 years

Doctors in India have removed the skeleton of a foetus that had been inside a woman for 36 years in what is believed to be the world's longest ectopic pregnancy, a doctor has said.

The 60-year-old woman became pregnant at the age of 24 but suffered a miscarriage because the foetus had been growing outside of her uterus, the doctor told AFP on Monday.

The woman, from a poor rural area of central India, was "terrified" of having surgery at the time to remove the remains of the foetus, and instead sought medication for the pain at a local clinic.

Although the pain gradually subsided, it returned years later, forcing the woman to seek medical help in a city hospital, Murtaza Akhtar said.

"She came to us complaining of pain in the abdomen," said Akhtar, head of surgery at the N.K.P. Salve Institute of Medical Sciences in the city of Nagpur.

"This is a case in which the woman got pregnant outside the uterus. She told us she was pregnant in 1978 and it was a mature pregnancy," he said.

Doctors felt a lump on her lower right abdomen and feared it could be cancer -- but further tests and scans revealed a calcified mass.

"Once we saw the scans, our first reaction was 'what are we dealing with'? It was actually a matured skeleton encapsulated in a calcified sac," Akhtar said.

"A 60-year-old woman with a foetus lying in her abdomen for 36 years is a medical marvel. It's something we had never heard about."

The doctors searched medical literature and discovered a woman in Belgium who had retained the remains of a foetus for 18 years following an ectopic pregnancy, the longest they could find on record.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes.

A team of doctors in Nagpur successfully performed surgery to remove the mass that was lodged between the woman's uterus, intestines and bladder.

Skeletal remains that were removed are seen in video footage laid out on a hospital bed, and include numerous parts of a rib cage, leg and arm bones and sections of a skull, spine and pelvis.

"She was shocked when she first got to know what had happened. But she is fine now and is recuperating," Akhtar said.

The footage shows the grey-haired woman, who has declined to speak with media, resting comfortably on a hospital bed, and being examined by her team of doctors.

"As far as this case is concerned, it's the rarest of rare cases and very difficult to believe," Akhtar said.

Mother of newborn baby found in trash arrested

KEARNS, Utah (AP) — A Utah woman accused of dumping her day-old baby in a neighbor's trash can told police she was afraid to tell her parents about the pregnancy and hoped the newborn's death would solve her problems, a probable cause statement shows.

Alicia Marie Englert, 23, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of attempted murder.

The baby girl was in critical condition at a Salt Lake City hospital on a ventilator and fighting for her life, authorities said.

The mother told officers she had left the baby about an hour before the child was found, authorities said. Englert told police the baby had not received any medical care or food.

The bay was discovered by a woman who heard what she thought was a kitten meowing in the trash bin in the Salt Lake City suburb of Kearns Tuesday morning, Unified Police Detective Jared Richardson said. The girl was airlifted to a hospital.

Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder, who oversees the Unified Police Department, said at the news conference that there were no visible injuries to the child and no information about the child's father.

"We had a young lady make a very, very terrible decision," Winder said.

It occurred in a state that allows mothers to drop off newborns at hospitals without consequences, prompting officials to remind residents that there are resources available for expectant and new mothers, including a crisis hotline. At a Tuesday news conference, Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams and health officials said mothers can leave newborns at hospitals, no questions asked.

A handful of infants are dropped off at Utah hospitals under the safe haven law every year, said Al Romeo with the Utah Department of Health.

It's not common for a mother to abandon a child in a trash can or other unsafe place, but there have been a few cases over the past 10 years, he said.

Romeo cited the discovery in April of seven dead newborn babies in the garage of a home in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Police believe the mother killed six of the infants after giving birth to them over a decade. A seventh baby is believed to have been stillborn.

How to pay off debt without getting a loan

MANILA, Philippines – Getting out of huge debt is a long and difficult process because as of now, there is no easy way to consolidate debt in the country, financial adviser Salve Duplito said.

Duplito said since there is no centralized loan database, banks have no way to accurately gauge just how indebted a person is, making it hard for them to consolidate debt.

The Credit Information Corporation is in the process of setting up a database, but it will be up not until two years from now.

In the absence of a consolidation process, Duplito said these are some ways to get out of debt without resorting to taking out loans:

Talk to each bank and ask for a loan restructuring

“However, it’s highly likely that you will not get lower interest payment terms, just some breathing room to a longer payment schedule. But do negotiate, you won’t lost anything by trying,” Duplito said.

List down all assets that the family can sell, from land to watches

“Every little thing counts. Think of it as a way of de-cluttering,” said Duplito.

Create a mindset that debt can be conquered

"As long as you are not defeated in your mind, the finances will follow," said Duplito.

“Don’t let debt take your life away. The way out of it is painful and will take a lot of time, but remember that the first battle you have to win is within your mind. The happy thought is that that battlefield is something you can control,” she added.
