Background
Acuin's career was built on specific, high-profile predictions. In 2000 alone, he called the U.S. presidential win of George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton's Senate victory, the Payatas landslide, the pregnancies of celebrities Lucy Torres-Gomez and Sharon Cuneta, and a Rizal Day bombing at a light rail station on December 30. Earlier, in 1987, he predicted that "a mediaman in Cebu will soon die"—a local journalist was then shot dead by communists. Beyond predictions, he hosted a radio program on Angel Radio 1026 called "Hula-La," airing from 2 to 3 p.m., filled with his forecasts. In the early 2000s, PLDT partnered with him, advertising a hotline where callers could pay P10 a minute for fortune-telling.
