KIKO MATOS vs RENDON LABADOR in LEGO! Best MMA Fight!
MMA Fighter Kiko Matos to File Case Against Fitness Trainer Rendon Labador
The MMA player Kiko Matos would file a case against his fellow YouTuber Rendon Labador over the viral slapping incident.
Over the past few days, Kiko Matos and Rendon Labador became one of
the most controversial topics on social media. Labador punched Matos
right on his head after the MMA fighter alleged disrespected him during
the “Battle of the YouTubers”.
Kiko
got furious due to the incident and tried to chase Rendon but the
bouncers were able to stop him. Labador immediately leave the venue to
avoid further trouble until the tension eventually subsides.
“Sampal sabay takbo ano ‘yun? Ano ang tawag don? Ano ang tawag doon Rendon, duwag. Duwag ang tawag don Rendon!” Kiko said.
Matos has also expressed his disappointment for failing to get back
at Rendon due to the bouncers trying to stop him. He would file a case
against the fitness coach and motivational speaker due to the incident
“Magdedemanda ako,” Kiko added.
However, Rendon replied that Kiko reserved that slap because of its alleged disrespectful act.
“Ang masasabi ko kay Kiko, hindi lahat ng influencer pwede mong
ganyanin, hindi lahat pwede sa scripted, wag mo akong igagaya sa mga
binabata bata mo na influencer. Kung gusto mong magdemanda, mag demanda
ka,” Rendon said.

Trese was first published independently by Alamat Comics in ashcan and online format. The komik series is currently available in a collected, graphic novel form, published by Visprint, Inc (formerly Visual Print Enterprises). The retail company, National Book Store, re-released Trese: Last Seen After Midnight and Trese: Midnight Tribunal with dust jackets while FILBAR'S re-released the first three books with dust jackets.[4]
A hardcover compilation titled Trese: Book of Murders has
also been published and contains the first three graphic novels. These
compilations include journal entries from the protagonist's grandfather,
Alexander Trese, which serve as additional commentary, providing more
history and lore for each case. Trese: Stories from the Diabolical Volume 1 were tales originally published online in 2008 in a blog[5]
before it collated and published as a book in 2013. Cases #1, #2, and
#4 were re-published by Visprint with updated, colored art by Kajo
Baldisimo and translated into Filipino by Bob Ong. They also contained the translated journal entries from Trese: Book of Murders.
Trese and the Kambal have also appeared in other publications such as Skyworld and Agents of Ambush.
Other publications
With the goal of reaching a larger audience, the creators set up an Indiegogo campaign for the production of an international 32-page edition of Case 1: At the Intersection of Balete and 13th Street that would contain updated text and art with bonus pages and would also include the same journal entries from Book of Murders. Aside from a variant cover exclusive, supporters could also avail the Indiegogo sketch variant with uniquely drawn covers.[6] The campaign was endorsed by Neil Gaiman.[7]
Supporters from the Philippines were given freebies, 2 of the 16
designs sketches that were drawn in 13 ways, and a reprint of the
original Trese #1 ashcan.[8]
At the release of Trese 7: Shadow Witness, Visprint Inc. sold more than 300 copies during the 40th Manila International Book Fair.[9] For the 14th anniversary of Trese, a reprint of Trese #1 Global Edition: At the Intersection of Balete and 13th Street was released exclusively by Comic Odyssey and FILBAR'S and called the "Anniversary Edition" .[10]
It differed from the Global Edition in price and size, and included a
"self-cover" where the paper used for its pages was also used for the
cover page.[11] In the same year, Trese Deviations: Iunctura was released in ashchan format.[12] After the closing of Visprint Inc., Avenida Books published Trese Lite Postcard Book Vol. 1.[13] Another company, Ablaze Publishing, released the U.S. edition of Trese: Murder on Balete Drive,
which used the Trese #1 Global Edition comic, along with an exclusive
variant cover for Comic Odyssey and Sanctum Sanctorum Comics.
Plot
"When the sun sets in the city of Manila, don’t you dare make a wrong turn and end up in that dimly-lit side of the metro, where aswang run the most-wanted kidnapping rings, where kapre are the kingpins of crime, and engkantos slip through the cracks and steal your most precious possessions. When crime takes a turn for the weird, the police call Alexandra Trese."[14]
The story of Trese fuses Philippine horror mythology with
dark, graphic storytelling and follows Alexandra Trese, a mysterious
detective who deals with crimes of supernatural origin mainly occurring
in the capital region of the Philippines.[1]
Because of her specialization in the supernatural, Alexandra is
often called when the police cannot handle paranormal crimes, by Captain
Guerrero, a man who prefers to leans on her knowledge and specialized
skills. Alexandra is supported by two mysterious and magical creatures
with uncertain powers known as the Kambal and together, they protect the
streets of Manila from various creatures of Filipino folklore.[15]
Volume 3 explores Trese's past, when, at 15-years old, she joins
her father Anton on her first case. The origins of the Kambal are also
revealed in later issues.
Trese was originally planned for 13 chapters or cases.
Volumes 1 and 2 comprise of self-contained chapters (Cases #1 - #8) and
introduce the paranormal world of Manila. Most cases are standalone,
with the exception of the third issue, Mass Murders, where Cases #9 - #13 are related and use different cues from previous books. Beginning with Volume 5, the komik series takes on a more serialized progression while continuing to incorporate aspects of episodic storytelling in each issue.
Trese's plot, world-building, and characters have garnered comparisons with American comics such as Hellblazer and Planetary, while writer Budjette Tan cited the former, as well as Batman, X-Files, CSI and Constantine as some of the main inspirations going into the creation of Trese. [16][17]
Characters
Main characters
Alexandra Trese
– A woman who works as a private detective and specializes in crimes
perpetrated by supernatural beings of the Underworld, to which she has a
deep connection. She is the proprietor of The Diabolical, a night club that serves the "best kapeng barako" in the street where it stands, which was originally run by Alexandra's grandfather.[18] She is usually dressed in black garb and is often seen working in her trademark outfit[19] a black button-down Chinese-inspired trenchcoat. For weapons, Alexandra uses guns and a magical kris blade called Sinag,
which was created by Anton from the soul of Trese's twin sister who had
died at birth. Trese appears to have a very complex relationship with
her father, Anton. Her psionic potential was revealed at her young age
and started aiding her father in investigating the mysteries as a young
teenager. She finished her initiation rites within 3 years.
Kambal (Crispin & Basilio) – Alexandra Trese's mysterious
and imposing, personal bodyguards that are often seen floating and
wearing black suits. Each sports a unique diamond-shaped mask, a happy
face and a sad face. To tell them apart when they don't have their masks
on, Kajo gave the happy-faced Kambal a long haircut and the sad-faced
Kambal, a short one. The short-haired Kambal wearing the sad-faced mask
is the eldest of the Kambal and is referred to as "Kuya" throughout the
first several books until he is finally given the name "Crispin" in Book
6.[citation needed]
The younger Kambal with the happy-faced mask and long hair, Basilio, is
the more playful of the two. The true nature of their existence is
initially unknown until it is later revealed that the Kambal were born
from a woman and a Bukidnon war god, making them demi-gods, although
their father aims to consume them in order to achieve more power.[15][20] "Kambal" literally translates to "twins" in English.
Captain Guerrero – He served as a sergeant when Anton Trese,
Alexandra's father, was aiding his former superior. Guerrero takes
charge of the task force responsible for dealing with the supernatural
and mysterious after his superior retires.
Hank Sparrow – He is the trusted bartender of The Diabolical. He loves to listen to stories of customers and if he likes their story he gives them a drink for free.
Anton Trese –He is Alexandra Trese's father and the former
guardian of Metro Manila. He was a psychic investigator and had six
kids. He died protecting Alexandra during her initiation rite when he
sacrificed himself to fortify the tree. He is first mentioned in Book 1,
and appears in Book 3.
Recurring characters
Tapia – Captain Guerrero's right-hand man in his investigations.
Nuno sa Punso
– A small, dwarf-like creature of the Underworld. Their kind once
lived in mounds of dirt or ant hills until humans started throwing
garbage and littered their homes. This particular nuno
lives in a manhole, does not like the sea, and seems to know
Alexandra's father. In the komiks, Trese asks for permission when she
passes by a dirt mound, saying "Tabi, tabi po. Good evening po," due to a
superstition involving powerful curses being inflicted on unsuspecting
humans who disturb a nuno's home.
Maliksi – A tikbalang
responsible for multiple illegal drag race accidents held on C-5. He is
the son of the Great Stallion and a member of the Armanaz herd.

would often involve "The Diabolical" and sometimes reference the main
cases such as "Case 1: At the Intersection of Balete and 13th Street"
and "Case 2: The Rules of the Race". Some of the stories in the
blog were made in collaboration with other artists such as Mark Torres,
who drew for Image Comics, and Elbert Or, creator of Bakemono High. Most of the blog posts were published in the first volume and were all illustrated by Kajo Baldisimo.

There have been talks to adapt the series by Filipino studios and networks. Glaiza de Castro was a fan favorite for the role[49] and even showed interest.[50]

Ninjago GOLDEN HOUR Hands of Time legacy Short leaked.
When the 2 ninjagos fell in time. This is what happened.
The Time Twins, also known as the Hands of Time, are a pair of villainous brothers, Acronix and Krux, who are allied with the Vermillion. They are the current (and powerless) Elemental Masters of Time.
History
Early lives
Krux was born 3 minutes before Acronix.[1] They were both descendants of the original Elemental Masters of Time.
Note: The following information is considered non-canon.
To achieve some form of victory in his downfall, Chen had Clouse use his Dark Magic to manipulate Krux and Acronix into betraying the Elemental Alliance, and Chen informed the twins of the location of the Great Devourer's eggs.[3]
Non-canon information ends here.
Believing their element was the most powerful, the twins betrayed the alliance to attempt to rule Ninjago. Acronix and Krux fought Wu and Garmadon, along with the rest of the alliance, who failed miserably against the twins' temporal powers.[2] When Ray and Maya forged the Time Blades to beat them,[4] Wu and Garmadon succeeded in stealing their powers and using it to create a temporal vortex
to banish the Blades through space and time, so that no one can use
their powers for evil. However, the twins didn't give up; they jumped
into the Time rift to follow their drained power, which caused them to
be lost in time.[2]
After they jumped into the void, Krux emerged from it with the
Reversal Time Blade, and years later succeeded in making an alliance
with Ray and Maya by forcing them to work for him, or else he'll kill theirchildren. They then betrayed the brothers and the Elemental Masters to work on Krux's plan, with the incident becoming known by Chen as well in the process.[4]
Following the defeat of Clouse's plans to corrupt the Temple of Light on the Island of Darkness, Wu received a sense of foreboding and a vision of the Twins making their return.
When Acronix
emerged from the Time Vortex after 40 years of being trapped in it, he
clashed against Wu in hopes of defeating him and getting their revenge.
When the Forward Time Blade emerged from the Time Vortex, Acronix succeeded in accelerating Wu's growth making him rapidly age. After the ninja
interfered in the process, Acronix defeated them with ease and headed
to the Ninjago history museum to meet someone. In the museum, Dr.
Saunders revealed his secret of being Krux to his brother, as they hugged and started plotting their revenge.
After being reunited, they took residence in the Ninjago History
Museum, in Krux's hideout. Acronix was so impressed by the new modern
technology, especially the BorgWatch that was shown on Borg's
commercial, while Krux was getting irritated. They later realized in
order to complete their master plan to control Time for all eternity,
they needed to abduct Borg to finalize their long-awaited plot. Krux
introduced the new army he created out of the eggs of the Great Devourer, the Vermillion
army. When the Vermillion, that was sent by the Hands of Time attacked
Borg's shop, the ninja came to the rescue, and the twins sent two more
warriors to help abduct Borg and destroy the ninja. Acronix was
irritated that the samurai snakes failed and Zane
is leading Borg to safety. However, Krux disguised himself as Dr.
Saunders and intercepted them. Borg was surprised to see Saunders, but
the twins used that as a distraction so Acronix can deactivate Zane with
the Forward Time Blade, then Krux revealed his secret to Borg as they
captured him with the help of a couple of Vermillion and disappeared.
After they had abducted Borg and locked him in a Serpentine coffin,
Acronix questioned how they would get the Vermillion warriors to listen
to them. Krux then presents Commander Raggmunk, Commander Blunck, and Commander Machia,
who will command the Vermillion for them. The Hands Of Time began Phase
II, which was to kidnap mechanics who could build the Iron Doom.
Despite the ninja's interference, the Vermillion successfully captured
the people, while Krux revealed his secret to Kai and battled him and
Nya alongside Acronix. When Borg attempted to use the Forward Time
Blade, Acronix grabbed him, took the Time Blade, and escaped with Krux
and Borg. Meanwhile, the Vermillion successfully escaped with the people by using the sewers.
Since the twins' old hideout was discovered by the ninja, Krux and
Acronix were in the sewers, escorted by a squadron of Vermillion, with
the captured mechanics and Borg in the coffin. Meanwhile, the other
Vermillion forces were stealing as much metal they can find for the
Hands of Time master plan. Acronix suggested they find the lair using
his BorgWatch, Krux, however, knew it would be a bad idea as there was
no connection underground. Krux decides to follow the old map which
leads them to a dead end. Eventually, however, they arrive in the swamp.
When they arrived at the swamp they began interrogating Borg, the Hands of Time along with Commander Machia were interrupted by the arrival of the Slow-Mo Time Blade
when it slowed Time. Acronix immediately got to work on figuring out
the location of the Time Blade on the BorgWatch, to which Krux
immediately protested against it, until Acronix's BorgWatch located the Blade in the canyons in the Sea of Sand. Krux admitted that sometimes, "Technology has its uses," and ordered Machia to send Raggmunk and Blunck to retrieve the Time Blade. The twins were very upset when they learned Raggmunk and Blunck lost the Blade to the ninja.
Later, when the Vermillion discovered the location of the Slow-Mo
Time Blade by using Acronix's Borgwatch, Machia and The Hands of Time
immediately led an attack on the floating temple. When the twins landed
on the temple, Wu battled Acronix with the Slow-Mo Time Blade which
slowed Time on him, however, Krux got the Forward Time Blade and battled
Wu and the ninja. Eventually, Lloyd
got the Forward & Slow-Mo Time Blades, but the victory was
short-lived as Commander Machia arrived and retrieved both Time Blades
from Lloyd's hands, and she and the Hands Of Time escaped with the Time
Blades and Wu.
On the way back to the Vermillion Swamps, Acronix and Krux decided to promote Machia to the rank of Supreme Commander of the Vermillion
after her incredibly successful attack. Wu was doubting that they will
win, and in response, Krux showed him the entire army waiting to hatch
from their eggs. Once at the command center, they imprisoned Wu in a
cell and strapped him to a wheelchair, as Machia had Raggmunk and Blunck
guard him. Later, they interrogated Borg again, and The Hands of Time
were displeased with his lack of cooperation. Acronix and Machia then
threatened to attack with the Time Blades, to which Borg responded in
fear that he will immediately finish the apparatus.
During Krux's interrogation of Borg, he noted that he did a good job building the apparatus for the Iron Doom.
He then attempted to test the device with the Slow-Mo Time Blade, which
was disappointed to see it was not working. Borg tried to reassure him
that it will work once it's complete, just as Acronix came with the news
that the next Time Blade is on about to emerge from the Time Vortex. Acronix and Krux prepared to depart to Glacier Barrens
where the Blade will arrive. Commander Machia caught Borg attempting to
sabotage the device and as a punishment she had him come with the Hands
of Time without a jacket to the ice-cold mountain where the Blade is
set to arrive.
Acronix and Krux retrieved the Blade and returned to the command center. Later, they overheard a conversation between Ray and Maya and their children Kai and Nya
and they quickly revealed themselves after discovering Ray and Maya had
hidden the Reversal Time Blade 40 years prior to the orders of Wu. They
brought Kai, Nya, their parents, and Wu onto the airship, using this as
leverage against Kai and Nya to retrieve the reverse blade, promising
if they do, they can save Wu.
After they blackmailed Kai, Nya, Ray, and Maya, they had Ray and Maya
lead them to the Boiling Sea, where Acronix threatened to kill Wu with
the Forward and Pause Time Blades, and Krux with the Slow-Mo Time Blade
if they didn't retrieve the Reversal Time Blade.
When Kai and Nya used the Dragon Blade to get the Reversal Time Blade
and bring it to the twins' blimp, Acronix and Krux revealed that they
lied to them about saving Wu in order to get the Reversal Blade, and
attacked them along with Supreme Commander Machia
and the Vermillion. When Krux beat Kai's Spinjitzu, Kai used the
Reversal Blade to reverse Time and beat Krux. However, when Krux tried
to slow Time on him, he slowed Time on Machia instead by accident.
Acronix (now irritated that they are winning) tried to attack Kai with
the "Time Punch" of the Forward Time Blade, only for Ray to save his son
and get hit by the Blade himself. Afterward, Acronix used the Pause
Time Blade to pause Time on Kai, Nya, Ray, Maya, and Wu, thus allowing
Krux to get the Reversal Blade from the immobilized Kai. Now have all
four Time Blades the twins went to the Iron Doom in order to plug the
Blades in the power source while leaving Kai, Nya, Ray, Maya, and Wu
floating in the air until the pause wears off. When they arrived at the
Iron Doom they were surprised that Borg, Samurai X,
and Zane were attempting to deactivate the Iron Doom. So Krux used the
Pause Time Blade to pause Time on them while the Hands of Time plug the
Blades in the power source of the Iron Doom and create a temporal rift, and time travel into the Past to destroy Wu and Garmadon along with the Elemental Alliance that existed 40 years ago, with Kai, Nya and present-day Wu unknowingly following them.
After the twins retrieved all four Blades, they were traveling back
in time, 40 years ago when their power was drained by the Time Blades
and they became lost in time. As they were arriving at their temporal
destination, Krux had Supreme Commander Machia prepare the Vermillion,
as he quoted that "The Battle will be re-fought." As they arrived in the
past Wu and Garmadon were surprised to see them since they have just
defeated the past Krux and Acronix. Then, Acronix had Machia begin the
attack. When Kai and Nya interfered and tried to help the past Elemental
Masters, The Hands of Time were irritated that they are losing.
Next, they fired Commander Blunck, Commander Raggmunk, and
Supreme Commander Machia to take over command of the Vermillion
warriors. As Kai and Nya tried to stop the Twins from escaping on the
Iron Doom, they failed miserably. However, when Nya found the Past
Reversal Time Blade they used it to bring back the Twins and the Iron
Doom. Once the Twins were brought back, present-day Wu tossed the Past
Reversal Time Blade to past Wu and hid it in the Boiling Sea as the
Twins were escaping followed by Kai and Nya and Present-day Wu. The Time
Twins were irritated that they lost because of Kai and Nya as they were
traveling far into the future, now the timeline
of Ninjago was corrected. Unknown to them Kai, Nya, and Wu sneaked on
board the Iron Doom again. The outraged Time Twins fought them and
overwhelmed the two ninja. Just as they were about to kill them, Wu
intervened by quickly grabbing the Reversal Time Blade and sabotaged the
Iron Doom, Wu threw the Blade to Kai and Nya, which tossed them off the
Iron Doom and into the present time, as Wu stayed behind and fought The
Hands of Time. When Kai and Nya arrived at the present time, Kai used
the Reversal Time Blade to heal his father, and after that, the ninja
disposed of it.
After throwing the Reversal Time Blade to Kai and Nya and off the Iron Doom, Wu prepares to face Krux and Acronix
but is struck with electricity from the inside of the vehicle. Striking
Wu's staff, the Time Twins are transported with Wu to the Fire Temple
amongst various other locations from Ninjago's past and future as Wu
quickly de-ages while fighting the Twins and stopping them from altering
the past. After a while of this Wu becomes a child and uses his reversal energy to stop the Iron Doom,
causing the mechanism to explode, presumably destroying the Vermillion
and leaving the now powerless machine to rot in the endless void outside
of time.
The twins briefly appear in Wu's
flashbacks as he recalls his various memories from his past, including
his final battle against the twins on the Iron Doom as it became lost in
time.
Abilities
The Time Twins have control of a powerful secondary element, Time. After Ray and Maya forged the Time Blades,
Wu, and his older brother Garmadon, used the Blades to steal the power
of the twins, thus causing them to lose their power. Before that,
Acronix was able to speed up Time, which allowed him to disappear and
reappear whenever and wherever he desired, by sending himself Forward
into Time and gaining the upper hand in battle. He also was able to slow
Time allowing him to move away from the firing line and attack. His
brother, Krux, had the opposite power. He could rewind Time against an
opponent, which allows him to see his opponent's next move and defeat
his opponent before it happens, thus gaining the upper hand in battle.
He also was able to stop Time completely. After their powers were
stolen, they would later recover the Time Blades in order to get their
power back in their bid to rule Ninjago and control Time for all
eternity.
Even without their powers, the two are still fearsome warriors
who are able to hold their ground against the ninja, even overpowering
them. Despite putting up a good fight against Wu, they were presumably
defeated by him in their final battle with him.
