Vice Ganda on leaving “It’s Showtime”
Filipino Star Magazine. Calgary Edition. November, 2014
S
peculations about Vice Ganda leaving the hit noontime show, "It's Showtime", started after his vague statement last October 23. Following a heartrending performance with the children, Vice started talking about the indefinite future- insinuating that he may not be around in the coming days. "Isang awit na maaaring mag-iwan ng isang mensahe. Mawala man ako sa mundong ito, hindi niyo man ulit ako mapanood sa "Showtime", maging huli man ang performance naito, mawala man ang image nanagawa ko, meron akong maiiwan na malalim na mensahe (A song that may leave a message. Even if I leave this world, or if you won't be able to catch me on "Showtime" anymore, whether this is my last performance, or I lose the image I've built over the years, I am still able to leave a meaningful message," said Vice In an interview with Gretchen Fullido, Vice admitted that he will be taking a break from the show, "It's Showtime", due to some health concerns. He would have to undergo procedure for his throat again which could take a while. The doctors also advised total voice rest for a couple of weeks and of course, bed rest in the coming weeks after that.

Vice showed his reluctance in leaving the show. Apparent, since he has yet to confirm when he would be leaving. In the meantime, he is still finishing the sequel to his hit boxoffice movie last 2011, "Praybeyt Benjamin 2."

philippine showbiz news Angeline Quinto denies relationship rumors: “Hindi pa po kami.”
Because of this, Vice Ganda recently insisted on Angeline meeting up with other guys aside from Erik. The former never divulged the reason why he wanted the singer-actress to date other guys; however, it was disclosed that the man is a pageant winner of Mr. Chinatown. According to rumors, there’s a possibility that the man is Kurt Ong, who was once a guest of Vice Ganda’s show in the past.
A
ngeline Quinto clarified rumors of her relationship status with Erik Santos during the bloggers conference for Beauty in a Bottle last October 27. According to the singer-actress, she is happy with the relationship she has with Erik. However, they are still in the dating status of the relationship and nothing more. “Hindi pa po [kami].Sasabihin ko naman po kapag kami na (We’re not together yet. I’ll tell you if we are.),” says Angeline 4
Unfortunately, Angeline is not open to having a relationship at the moment. Though she is happy with her current status with Erik Santos, the singer-actress would like to keep things as it is for the moment. When asked when she would be ready for a relationship, Angeline said this, “Sa totoo lang, ang dami ko pa talagang gagawin ngayon. So, alam din ni Erik na mas kailangan kong maraming trabaho. Lahat na man tayo kailangan nun. So, dun muna. (The truth is I have so many things to take care of for now. Erik knows this. He knows that I need more projects. We all need to work, so that’s that for now.)” Angeline and Erik started dating mid this year, and revealed the real score between them by August. Though they haven’t been officially together, the couple admitted to having said sweet nothings and I love yous to each other. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Cover Story
coco martin Coco’s Life, Love, Work and “Death”
C
oco Martin or Rodel Nacianceno in real life has come a long way from his indie film beginnings and even more surprising, from working as a janitor for housekeeping in Alberta, Canada. Today, Coco can be easily described as somebody who is on top of his game. Although this is so, he still has a few insecurities. In an interview he said, “Hindi ko nga alam kung kaya kong maging mayaman.” With all his awards, a KBP Golden Dove Awards and Star Awards for TV included, he doubts if he can portray an affluent person. His fans’ favorite role now was when he played, Daniel Guidotti, in ABS-CBN's top rated primetime drama show Walang Hanggan (2012) for which he worked with his costar Julia Montes. Thus, the Julia-Coco tandem was born. In the same year, it was also reported that Julia and Coco had a rendezvous in Paris and much French-kissing was 6
speculated. However, on the press conference last March this year for Ikaw Lamang, Coco cleared rumors about his romance with the 19-year-old Julia. “I’m proud working with Julia and we noticed our chemistry on-screen,” said Coco, “The longer I work with Julia, the more I play the role as her older brother.” Coco sees the similarity between his life’s and Julia’s. They both struggled during the early part of their career; both grew up with their grandmothers and are now the heads of their family. He also admitted to being close with Julia and the Montes family. Coco as of the moment has nothing but respect and admiration for the teenager and has promised to guide her in work. Coco said he feels flattered that a lot of people are still hoping that they would end up as a real-life couple since they believe that they are good for each other. If any pairing he has decided to work on, it is with Kim Chiu, his leading lady in Ikaw Lamang, "Sa amin ni(Kim Chiu), 'yun ang dapat trabahuin," he said. Ikaw Lamang began airing last March and was well-received by the audience.

Some had uncertainties on the team up of Coco and Kim before the series started but the two top Kapamilya stars defied naysayers with the unprecedented rating the show brought to ABS-CBN. The show had watchers reveling in the exciting episodes about love, betrayal and politics first set in the 1960s. Critics were dumbfounded when it was decided that Ikaw Lamang should have an Ikaw Lamang Book 2. The plot came full circle last October and its finale episode emerged as the most watched TV program in the country. It concluded with Gabriel’s (Coco) last face-off with Franco (Christopher de Leon) and the happy ending with his true love, Andrea (Kim). On Women’s Rights and Death Hoaxes Coco’s 2014 year wasn’t one without any controversy. At the Bench annual catwalk, “The Naked Truth”, Coco’s runway presentation was much frowned upon by the women’s alliance in the Philippines, Gabriela. Coco, through his legal counsel Atty. Lorna Kapunan, released a statement in a press conference held last September 30.
In the statement released to the media, Coco Martin expressed his apology and requested the public for understanding. Coco equally felt bad about the incident and saddened at the thought he unwittingly offended the public.
actor Coco Martin passed away. Coco Martin was born on November 1, 1981 in Quezon City. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”
Coco and his camp explained they were not involved in the conceptualization of the production of The Naked Truth show nor the segment "The Animal Within Me" as he has an existing contract with Bench to model its apparels and to oblige him to appear in fashion shows.
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 33-yearold actor was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
In the end, Coco humbly asked for the public's understanding and assured he will no longer allow to be obliged to participate in a similar sensitive portrayal. The actor finds himself a victim of a prank during the Halloween season, rumors of the Coco’s alleged demise gained traction on after a ‘R.I.P. Coco Martin’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Filipino actor’s passing: “At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (November 02, 2014), our beloved www.filipinostarmagazine.com
Whereas some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major Filipino network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Coco Martin's stature would be major news across networks. Thankfully, the actor also known for his roles in A Moment in Time or My Eternal is alive and well. 7

Zanjoe for Dream Dad T he teaser opens with Zanjoe Marudo on a bench with a tiny, pixie-haired girl on the other side. She inquires Zanjoe if he would like to have a wife and child to which the tanned actor says dismissively, "Not now, someday". The scene ends with the 5-year old button-nosed cutie imploring that he should have a child now very short of stomping her feet to make her point across. We love Zanjoe Marudo. He is a low-key actor but you never see him running out of new projects. He was recently seen playing a sweet and forgiving father in the thriller, Maria Leonora Teresa. Zanjoe will be playing another Daddy role on his upcoming series with ABS-CBN. He was asked if he had any issues playing fatherly roles- he had none. He likes it because it is very realistic and on point. At this point, he is relaxed that he had wrapped up a movie, an upcoming new soap, his gag show, Banana Split every weekday nights and Banana Split: Extra Scoop on Saturdays. And then we asked about Bea Alonzo. When does Zanjoe plan to propose? He smiles and says, we're both not ready yet. While his relatives speculate a wedding in two years’ time – Zanjoe is looking at a 4-year plan.
Are Toni Gonzaga and Paul Soriano finally getting hitched?
Q
uestions about marriage never escape an interview with Toni Gonzaga since she and boyfriend, Paul Soriano have been together for quite some time now. Do questions about marriage get on her nerves? The 30 year old Kapamilya Multimedia Star admits “Noonguna, noong first year naminni Paul, inisnainisako.Bastayung first year talaga, isangbuongtaonyun. Asarnaasarako.”[I was very much irritated with questions about marriage the first year Paul and I were together.] “’Anoba ‘to, kami pa lang, ikakasalnaagad?’ [We just got into this relationship and you’re already asking about marriage?] “Perotumigilsilanoongika-third, fourth,

fifth… Hindi naakomasyadongtinatanong. Peronoongnausoangkasalan, ‘etonanaman, tanungannanaman.” [But they eventually stopped on the third, fourth and fifth year. But, when weddings started to trend, they started asking me questions about marriage again.] Even Paul can’t escape the same questions each time he has an interview, constantly asked whether or not he has already proposed to Toni or details such as when and where they are to be married. Do they ever talk about such questions? Yes, the actress admits. We laugh about these things. We have plans for our future. What’s great about our relationship is that Paul is not an actor and not into showbiz, our conversations become private and we don’t divulge the details to the public. The public may know that we’re together, but so long as our relationship remains private, there’s no pressure.

Annabelle Rama labeled Ruffa’s rumored boyfriend: P.G. (Patay Gutom) upset, say things that you don’t mean. You want to take them back but can’t. You’re feeling sad... remorseful. Yet you remind yourself that you’re just speaking up and taking a stand. After all you’re not 16 anymore,” tweeted Ruffa The tweets were published only hours before the airing of the family’s reality show on the E! channel. A friendly reminder that “It Takes Guts to be a Gutierrez,”pun intended.
I
t must really take some guts to be a Gutierrez. Annabelle Rama proved that she’s a no-nonsense mother when she took to twitter her concerns about her daughter’s rumored boyfriend. Claiming that she has the right to advise her daughter when the latter seems to be losing her way, she posed the question if it’s hard to find the right man these days. “Hindi ka naman namin pinalaking Daddy mo at pinag-aral sa best schools paralang pumatol samga P.G. [PatayGutom/ Incredibly Poor] Wake up!!! It’s not too late yet. Sayang ang beauty mo at pagiging matalino mo. Waste of time angmga P.G. nayan. (Your daddy and I didn’t raise you and send you to the best schools only to end up with a P.G. Wake up!!! It’s not too late yet. You’re wasting your beauty and your brains. Those P.G.s are a waste of time.),” said Rama on twitter last October 26. Speculations started that Rama is pertaining to the rumored boyfriend of her daughter, French-Arab Jordan Mouyal. Rama has always been protective of her daughter. With Ruffa having been a victim of domestic abuse, it’s safe to say that the protective-instinct doubled. She’s been vocal with her thoughts regarding her daughter’s past boyfriends like ZorenLegaspi, Robin Padilla and John Lloyd Cruz. However, despite meaning well, it was apparent that Ruffa did not appreciate her mother’s public stunt. “When you fight with someone you love, it hurts. You’re angry, 10

Jolina and Marvin Back Together! WennDeramas, who was also the pair’s director in their last film together with ABS-CBN in 2002. Magdangal transferred to GMA-7 that year. Agustin followed suit in 2006.
I
Magdangal did not give much details on her role in Flordeliza but said she has never done a similar character in her career. She also said that she reread the script several times in readying herself for the role. She claims to be very excited because the role demands to show a different facet of her talent as an actress. Although “Flordeliza” is a drama series, Deramas assured long-time fans of Magdangal and Agustin that they will see the trademark romcom banter between the two, which they were known for in the late ‘90s.
t’s a trip back to the 90s memory lane with Jolina Magdangal and Marvin Agustin rekindling their small-screen romance. Both stars are currently filming their first TV drama in ABS-CBN after two decades.
Deramas added that “Flordeliza,” which revolves around two children, is a timely project for both Magdangal and Agustin, who are now parents. Agustin is a proud father to twins, while Magdangal welcomed her first child with Rivermaya drummer Mark Escueta in February.
Flordeliza is under the direction of
Asked how her husband reacted to her reunion with Agustin, Magdangal said that her husband Mark is as excited as she is when she told the story.

Kim Atienza Day Starts
Healthy and Early
His day, he said, starts at 5:00 a.m. “Kung me karera o walangkarera, I always wake up at five in the morning. The wife and the kids, I have breakfast with them... Training starts at 6:30 in the morning. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I bike. Tuesday, Thursday, I run. I swim four times a week.”
A
t 46, doesn’t Kim’s body complain, especially after his mild stroke, and being diagnosed last year with Guillain-Barre. Kim Atienza remains unfazed by rare disease afflicting him “It’s never been better…theKuya Kim now is better than the Kuya Kim before. “And that’s not because of me. I’m totally powerless. That’s because of the Lord. I found the Lord, and the Lord has blessed me. And that’s the reason why I’m alive, I am healthy.” As a triathlete, host and family man how does he manage all his activities in a day?
He finishes his training around 11 or 11:30 a.m., then afterwards, he has TV Patrol, where he’s the weather anchor. He’s home before 8 p.m. “At 7:45 p.m., I have dinner with the wife and kids. The whole household is asleep by 9:45 p.m. By 10 p.m. it’s lights off. That has been his routine “every single day,” he said. This early, his kids follow his active lifestyle, his 12-year-old son Jose wants to join a triathlon, second child Eliana is into swimming and tennis and his youngest, Emmanuelle, is a gymnast. Kim Atienza relays his experience on being
a triathlete. He says there are no shortcuts and it will hurt. “The essence naman of training is to make your body hurt, e. You hurt it so it can heal, and when you heal, you’re able to recover, you are stronger. When you’re stronger, you hurt it again. Then it heals again. When it heals, you recover again. You get stronger, stronger, stronger with the hurt perodapattama lang yung hurt.” He also reminds triathletes to remain competitive. “I compete against myself. Triathlon is like that naman, e. I can’t say that I’ll be beating the pros. Mga pros yun, e. Ang goal ko sa triathlon is to beat my time every year… The three years that I’ve joined a triathlon, every year, I get better and better and better, faster and faster and faster. For the 51:50 kms or Olympic distance, his target is three hours at the most. For the 113.1 kms or half-Ironman, he wants to finish in less than six hours. “People like me because I’m Kuya Kim [who’s] not interested in politics.” So even if there’s clamor for Kim Atienza to run for public office, he is firm with his stance.

Julian Estrada confesses to past relationship with Julia Baretto Baretto. The two have been previously linked in the past, but was never confirmed. Add up the fact that Julia Baretto has always denied having been involved with anyone- claiming that she’s never had a boyfriend since birth. It was no surprise that Julian was reluctant in divulging his past relationship with the star. The issue started when the cast was asked if they’ve ever been in love. His co-star, Ericka Villongco, admitted to having been in a relationship with James Reid for three years. The spotlight was then turned to Julian who admitted to having been in a relationship before. However, he started becoming uneasy during the interview. Obviously, the young actor did not appreciate the attention given to him. Despite that, he decided to share some facts about his past relationship. Without divulging the name of the girl, he shared why the relationship ended.
J
ulian Estrada was put in the hot seat during the press conference of the movie, “Relaks! It’s Just Pag-ibig”, last October 30 wherein he confessed to having been in a relationship with his Star Magic Circle 2013 batch mate, Julia
“Cause we’re still young, marami pa tayongkailanganpagdaanan (we still have a lot to learn),” says the actor The speculations started when Julian kept cutting his stories short whenever he’s about to say the name of the girl. It was then that the press started asking if he was talking about Julia Baretto, since she was the only girl that he has been linked to in the past. Ignoring the speculations, he continued on as to what his father advised him after the breakup. By that time, the interest of the press was on the mystery girl and if it was really Julia Baretto. After much cajoling, Julian had nothing to say but, “uhm... my god, yes!” Later on, Julian shared that they’ve been together for six months and that he and Julia are still friends.

Patrick Schwarzenegger & Miley Cyrus Dating — New Couple Casually Together “They spent Halloween at the Roosevelt Hotel, then went to her house for the night,” say a source, “Not only did the new couple have a sleepover, but he went to her house!” Do you know what that means? Patrick has met her dogs! That is a huge deal, especially considering how much her pups mean to her. This isn’t the first time the pair has crossed paths romantically. During a break from Liam Hemsworth in 2011, Miley and Patrick had short-lived fling. At the time, Miley “thought Patrick was a kid, but he’s grown a lot,” the source explained. She now thinks he is extremely “hot.” Yes — and we could not help but agree! The 5-foot-11 model has grown up to be quite the looker. We love that Patrick and Miley are reawakening the flame, especially since Patrick has publicly expressed that he has a huge crush on her. In 2011, Patrick was quoted saying, “My eye….is set on Miley.” The insider added, “He’s seeing where it goes, but he likes her!” What really comes to shock is, apparently, Patrick’s mom Maria Shriver is not very happy about her son’s choice to date such a controversial celebrity! Fans are so happy Miley has finally found someone new since her split from LiamHemsworth last year, and we’re sure she’ll be able to convince Patrick’s parents she’s good for their son sooner or later… Miley may be eccentric, but she’s definitely far from crazy!

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are not preparing for “Another Baby” million he’s planning for Kunis, but the wedding dress makers “may have to design around baby bump No. 2.” The magazine says the new parents “want to try for another baby right away!”
I
t’s only been a couple of months since Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher welcomed their baby girl, Wyatt, but fatherhood has already been a very big eye-opener for the 36-year-old Two and a Half Men star. “It’s unbelievable. It’s the greatest thing on Earth,” Ashton recently told Conan O’Brien. “We’re really privileged that we have time and can afford to take time. So we don’t have a nanny or a night nurse or any of the stuff. It’s just the two of us.”
Kutcher and Kunis only became parents a few weeks ago when their daughter Wyatt was born, and are not rushing to have a second baby “right away,” no matter how much they’re loving their newborn. Remember, this story is coming from the same magazine that previously reported Kutcher called off their wedding and Kunis was having her baby at home. For the record, Kunis gave birth at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. finer points of swaddling and diaper changing, the tech-savvy new parents were quick to register every possible domain that involves Wyatt Isabelle’s name.
In any event, despite the eye-grabbing headline of “another baby,” the new parents are focusing now on their daughter, and not a $2 million wedding or another baby.
“We got the Twitter handle, the Instagram, everything… I don’t want a porn site with my daughter’s name on it. It is unacceptable to me. It’s not going to happen,” he says, adding, “We got her an email address. We write her emails…. One day she’ll be able to look at it and see the kinds of things people had to say.”
One thing Ashton quickly realized when he became a father? He owed his own parents a very big apology! “As soon as this child was born, I immediately wanted to call my parents and just apologize because I never knew how much they loved me,” he admits.
Despite a claim a few weeks back in one of the celebrity weeklies of Mila and Ashton preparing for another child, a rep for Kunis tells that the new report, published in Life & Style, is totally “ridiculous.”
Ashton says he’ll go by “Papa” – and Mila, along with mastering the

Karla braved the stage of The Voice of the Philippines on an episode of the singing competition aired Saturday, and performed her cover of the 1992 hit "What's Up," originally sung by 4 Non Blondes. However, no one among Salonga, Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo and apl.de.ap turned for her and she failed to advance to the next round.
www.filipinostarmagazine.com
Karla said she has always been a fan of Salonga and it would have been wonderful to learn from her idol. “Si Lea ['yung gusto ko maging mentor sana] kasi siya yung kinalakihan ko. I can sing, yes. Meron akong sariling techniques pero gusto ko maturuan pa niya ako sa technical,� she said. "I grew listening to Lea. I can sing, yes. I have my own techniques but I want her to teach me the technical" Karla, however, was quick to add that she does not regret her decision to join the blind audition of the televised singing competition. Cracking a joke in the middle of her interview, Estrada said it was actually a good thing that no one chose her because she is confident that the fans of her son would support her and that she might even win.

This island has some of the best white sand beaches in the whole Calamianes but is considered quite distant from the gateways and Tourist Service Center. Among the islands, Malcapuya Island has the better attributes because of a longer white sand beach on its southern shore, a narrower beach on its western side, and another shoreline on its northern side. Banana Island - can already be seen from Malcapuya Island. It is approximately 60 minutes boat ride to get to the island. It was named Banana Island because the aerial view of the island looks like a banana fruit during low tide.
Snorkelling Kayangan Lake - which is located at Coron Island, Northern Palawan is said to be the cleanest lake in the Philippines. Sometimes called the Blue Lagoon, this freshwater lagoon is amidst sheer limestone cliffs. This beautiful picture-perfect scenery can be seen after a walk up a mountain trail.

The reef is also really nice with a teeming reef life giving good visibility of various marine lifeforms.
Twin Lagoon - is divided by limestone wall and is connected by a small and narrow opening. The inner lagoon is only visible and can only be accessed during low tide. One must have a diving skill to get to the inner lagoon during high tide.

November HOROSCOPE ASTROTWINS, ASTROLOGY FORECAST It’s possible that you’ll face blocks, fears and frustrations. You’ll come across situations which will force you to meditate on your partner’s psychological mechanisms. There might occur misunderstandings on account of money or the person by your side might have financial problems.You can also expect a trip with a romantic purpose or an affair with somebody from far away. You could make quite a lot of money, but you’ll have to be prudent.
You can always rely on great confidence (maybe overconfidence?) in your personal charm, on robust sexual vigor and romantic enthusiasm that can hardly wait to be stimulated. All this will be expressed more intensely or more discreetly, depending on the transit of the fast planets.A month of hard work, in which Leos seem to want to finish everything there is to do - and some more. Be very careful about your health because November can be critical to Leos.
Regardless of how much goodwill you might have, it is possible that some sentimental problems will not be avoidable in the first part of the month. You’ll be very interested in money. You’ll have a lot of financial initiative, and here some things can go very well, and others very badly. You’ll do well with actions thoroughly thought of and with safe placements. You’ll do badly when you hurry and take risks.Adopt a more philosophical attitude - especially when things you don’t like happen!
You’ll be looking for love and understanding and you’ll want to share everything with your significant other. Everything that has to do with the couple will have priority. There will be relevant events and you might make important decisions, either together with your partner, or concerning them. Finances will become your main point of interest. It’ll mostly be about the money you’ll make together with other people, about other people’s money and the connections with the financial and business environments.
Information and communication will be the keywords for Virgo.November 2014 will be intense, full of initiative, a period in which ideas will simply flow and you’ll swiftly put plans into practice.You’ll be very persuasive and hugely expressive, which might admirably be put to use through creation. It’s a good moment to launch, to present, to recommend.As regards money, Virgos can expect some tension in the first part of November 2014, but the second half of the month will bring them chance and prosperity.
You’ll be very motivated and determined to take the initiative at the sentimental level. If you have set your mind to achieving something, you’ll take action very fast.You might participate together with your partner in a group project, in conferences, symposiums or shows or, if you’re single, you might meet your half in such circumstances.It’s possible that you’ll invest in your home, in real estate or valuable goods.Go out as often as possible, participate in events, make new friends!
The good development of the current relationship or the beginning of a new relationship will largely depend on communication. Communication will be the weapon you’ll seduce with, the instrument you can use to adjust, balance, strengthen or develop your sentimental relationship.You might also find out things that will radically change your perspective or another type of change of situation might take place. Or you might need to make a decision, to settle an issue: either one way or the other. Money-related motivation will be decisive and you could have an important financial initiative.
There will appear home and family-related issues. It could be about some repairing, changes, acquisition or other initiatives that will concern your home, or about problems with parents, etc.In November 2014, Libra’s money will interweave with relationships: money can cause a choice to be made or can be influenced by emotions and feelings.You’ll establish many new connections and it’s possible that you’ll take a nice and useful trip.
The couple relationship will develop harmoniously, you’ll contemplate doing great things together, and your partner will go through a fortunate period.If you are single, you can start a new relationship. If you are in a burdening relationship, lacking good perspectives, you’ll find it easy to step out of it. Beware of infections and contaminations and avoid excesses!Be careful when traveling as well (on foot or by means of transportation), because there will be a risk of accidents.Guard your back! Your hidden enemies will be very active.
You will start enjoying the pleasures of the flesh, to experience new gallant adventures or awaken old relationships.You’ll overflow with energy, you’ll be in a good shape and you’ll need to express physically in a vigorous way. Walking, swimming and working out will be your best friends. And, of course, sex! All these will excellently use the extra energy and, at the same time, will help you release stress.
Scorpios will go through a very active and satisfying phase in their career. You will have plenty of energy and will generally be in a good mood. You can, nevertheless, have sudden fits of restlessness, anxiousness or irritation, which could lead to conflicts or accidents.
