Alden Richards dismisses rivalry with Daniel Padilla over same endorsement As Posted on PEP.ph siyang bahagi na rin siya ng Bench family. “Siyempre happy po, kasi ibang variants naman po ng Clay-Doh ‘to. “Yung kay Daniel po, yung Clay-Doh, sa amin po yung light. “So, happy po kasi naconsider po kami ni Sir Ben [Chan] to endorse.”
H
alatang ayaw i-entertain ng Pambansang Bae na si Alden Richards ang nasilip na posibleng kumpetisyon sa pagitan nila ng Teen King na si Daniel Padilla. Pareho na kasi sila ngayong endorsers ng isang grooming product ng Bench. Ayon kay Alden, masaya lang
Nilinaw naman ng Kapuso matinee idol na hindi clothing apparel ang ini-endorse niya para sa Bench. “So far po kasi, hindi po, kasi, may Boardwalk din naman po ako. At nag-extend din po ang contract ko sa Boardwalk. “Kasi since beginning naman po, si Boardwalk na rin po ang nagtiwala sa akin. “Nag-extend po sila agad kaya baka medyo matagal pa
rin po,” sabi niya. FULL SUPPORT. Masaya rin si Alden na patuloy pa rin ang pagsuporta ng AlDub Nation sa kanilang dalawa ni Maine Mendoza. Patunay nito ang pagdagsa ng mga tao sa Activity Center ng TriNoMa Mall para sa meetand-greet nila ni Maine noong March 30. Pahayag ni Alden, “Sobrang saya po, ang daming nagpuntang tao.

“Hindi ko po in-expect na ganun ang reception.” Hanggang ngayon ba ay hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala sa tuwing dinudumog ng mga tao ang mall shows niya at kahit na ang concerts niya dito at sa abroad? Sagot ng Kapuso actor, “Opo naman at saka first time ko pong mag-solo concert talaga, lalo na sa ibang bansa. “Kaya sobrang nakakatuwa po talaga.”

3n Easter Sunday, couple Drew Arellano and Iya Villania-Arellano announced that they finally have a bun in the oven. Earlier in February, both Kapuso stars had been vocal about their '#Project2016,' which is to have a baby within the year.
Iya Villania-Arellano is on to her second trimester As Posted on PEP.ph
Drew even hoped that their trip to New Zealand would do the trick, but the baby, according to Iya, was 'made in the Philippines.' At her pictorial for Calayan Surgicentre, the Kapuso host, who is on to her second trimester, revealed why she and Drew decided to make the announcement on Easter Sunday. 'Well, nagkataon lang. We only thought of announcing it during Easter Sunday the week before. 'And then when we realized, 'O nga 'no, it’s gonna be Easter Sunday. “Sabi ko, 'Honey, it might be perfect. Sige, let’s do it Easter Sunday.'' Initially, they wanted to know the baby's gender before making the announcement. 'Pero si Drew, feeling niya boy, so parang na-e-excite ulit ako na baka nga boy.
themselves yet with baby names.
'I wanted to be able to talk about it openly.'
''Tapos nasa isip ko, ‘Paano kung naexcite nga ako sa boy 'tapos biglang naging girl?'
'Mga ideas pa lang. Ayoko sabihin kasi baka mamaya, ma-influence pa yung pag-iisip namin ni Drew na hindi, dapat ito, mas maganda ito.
BOY OR GIRL? Iya couldn't seem to make up her mind.
'Baka maging sad ako, so ayoko na! Ayoko na ma-excite.
'At first I wanted a boy, and then I spoke to some friends, and' tapos biglang sabi ko, ‘Oo nga, parang nice nga kung panganay girl.’ Parang maging ate.
'I’ll save the excitement for when I know na.'
But Iya said, 'Because I also felt like I couldn’t wait any longer, I wanted to announce na e kasi na-e-excite ako.
They also don't want to preoccupy
'Of course, when the day comes, we just want to be purely our decision so we’ll feel it na lang. 'Kasi alam mo naman, ang dali lang ma-i-influence e so we might choose the name for the wrong reasons.'

"I don't care if I burn in hell for as long as the people I serve live in paradise." - Mayor Duterte BIOGRAPHY (SOURCE: rodydutertesolidgroup.com):
Rodrigo Roa Duterte was born on March 28, 1945 at Maasin, Southern Leyte to Vicente G. Duterte, who served as Governor of Davao and Soledad Roa, a school teacher and a civic leader. He spent his elementary days at the Sta. Ana Elementary School in Davao City, where he graduated in 1956. He finished his secondary education at the Holy Cross of Digos. For his tertiary education, he took up a Bachelor of Arts degree at the Lyceum of the Philippines University, where he graduated in 1968. He also obtained a law degree from San Beda College in 1972. In the same year, he passed the bar exam. Soledad R. Duterte is the mother of the present Davao City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte and widow of the late Vicente Duterte who served as Provincial Governor from 1959 to 1965. Mrs. Duterte was born on November 14, 1916 in Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte to Eleno Roa and Fortunata Gonzales. She finished her elementary and secondary education in her native town. She pursued her college education at the Philippine Normal School in Manila in 1939. She was connected with the Bureau of Public Schools as a teacher when she met and married lawyer Vicente Duterte of Cebu. The Dutertes came to Davao in 1951. Vicente as a lawyer engaged in private – practice, while Soledad as a teacher taught in the public school. Mrs. Duterte, however, but retired as a supervisor in 1952 when her lawyer – husband joined politics. She left government service owing to the demands of a politician – husband. As wife of the governor, she became familiar with the social and economic problems of the people, especially the out – of – school youth, women, children and the disabled.
Digong’s Bio and Why many think he’s the next president 8
After the 1986 People Power Revolution, Duterte was appointed officer – in – charge vice mayor. In 1988, he ran for mayor and won, serving until 1998. He set a precedent by designating deputy mayors that represented the Lumad and Moro in the city government, which was later copied in other parts of the country. In 1998, because he was term – limited to run again for mayor, he ran for the House of Representatives and won as Congressman of the 1st District of Davao City. In 2001, he ran again for mayor in Davao and was again elected for his fourth term. He was reelected in 2004 and in 2007. In 2010, he was elected vice mayor, succeeding his daughter, Sara Duterte – Carpio, who was elected as mayor. Davao City under Duterte won the National Literacy Hall of Fame Award for being a three – time first place winner in the Outstanding Local Government Unit Highly Urbanized City category. Through the support of Duterte, the City Council amended the ordinance no. 1627, Series of 1994, which imposed a prohibition on selling, serving, drinking and consumption of liquors and alcoholic beverages from 1:00 am until 8:00 am. Executive Order no. 39 was signed by

Duterte, setting the speed limits for all kinds of motor vehicles within the territorial jurisdiction of Davao City in the interest of public safety and order. The City Government of Davao acquired 10 more ambulances for central 911 intended for medical emergencies and 42 new mobile patrol vehicles and motorcycles for the Davao City and Police Office. Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, through E.O no. 24, ordered all shopping malls and commercial centers to install, operate and maintain high end and high definition closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in all entrance and exit points of their premises. Davao City sent rescue and medical teams to Tacloban to give aid to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). Financial assistance was also given to Bohol and Cebu for the earthquake victims. As of January 2015, Duterte has made hints to the media of his possible intent to run for the presidency come 2016, with the promise of abolishing Congress altogether (and replacing it with a federal – parliamentary form of governance) if he ever wins. In the most recent survey from Pulse Asia and SWS Survey, Rody Duterte placed a surprising third place behind Vice President Binay and Senator Grace Poe. It was the first time his name has been included in the survey on people’s preference for President, and a very promising indicator that people all over the Philippines are clamoring for Duterte to run for the 2016 presidential election. I decided to vote for Mayor Duterte because of his 10 achievements (SOURCE: www.jamesparmis.net) Davao City Mayor Rody Duterte is known for his cursing and for being a womanizer. However, he has numerous achievements that many people are not aware of. Also dubbed as "The Punisher," Mayor Duterte seems to be not what people see on him on his speeches, interviews and debates. Below are 10 of his accomplishments that can help convince you to vote for him. #1 Development Code in Davao City (City Ordinance 5004) Implemented on July 27, 1998, the Development Code in Davao City (City
Ordinance 5004) is the first-of-its kind in the history of the Philippines. With this comprehensive and integrated approach to protect women in his city, Mayor Rody Duterte also wants women to have equal rights as men in helping build a better city, and to reduce crime against women.
implemented since 1994. But in 2013, a stricter law was enacted, which now prohibits selling and drinking liquor from 1am to 8am, instead of 2am to 6am only. And yes, this ordinance is implemented to all business establishments’ including hotels, food houses, even those that are tourist accredited.
#2 Comprehensive Anti-Smoking Ordinance As a former chain-smoker, Mayor Rody Duterte enacted Comprehensive Anti-Smoking Ordinance in 2002. In 2012, his daughter, then-Mayor Inday Sara Duterte signed City Ordinance No. 0367-12, or the New Comprehensive Anti-Smoking Ordinance which prohibits smoking in public, workplaces and establishments. And yes, this is being strictly implemented. #3 Anti-Discrimination Ordinance In December 2012, then-Vice Mayor Rody Duterte enacted hi AntiDiscrimination Ordinance, which strictly prohibits anyone in Davao City to discriminate disabled people, and to have equal rights for Christians, Muslims, Lumads, gays and lesbian. This city ordinance was widely applauded by LGBT community. Violators are being fined accordingly, and may be jailed. #4 Fire Cracker Ban Unlike in other major cities in the Philippines, City Ordinance No. 060-02 of 2002 strictly prohibits anyone to manufacture, sell, distribute, possess or use fire crackers (and other similar devices) in Davao City, as well as gun firing. So if you plan to celebrate Christmas and New Year in the city, you can be sure of being safe from related incidents, including stray bullets.
#5 Davao Central 911 The Davao Central 911 was an added feature in 2003, after the launch of the Central Communications and Emergency Response Center in 2002. This free call service offers immediate response from the police, firefighters, medical workers, as well as and rescue services. So far, the only city in the Philippines that has copied this concept in Kidapawan City. #6 Strict liquor ban The liquor ban (City Ordinance 1627) in Davao City is strictly being
www.filipinostarmagazine.com
#7 Strict speed limit On October 29, 2013, Mayor Rody Duterte released Executive Order No. 39, wherein it allows only 30 kph speed limit within the downtown area, and maximum speed of 40 kph in highways. This law then resulted to high reduction of road accidents in Davao City. And yes, this is strictly being implemented. In fact, Inday Sara Duterte was once caught, and apologized via local TV. #8 Mayor Rody Duterte as taxi driver at night In August 2013, Maria Anna Luna Saguilo of Davao City couldn't help but post her once-in-a-lifetime heartwarming experiences in Davao City on Facebook. According to her, she was surprise to know that the taxi that she rode one night is no less than Mayor Rody Duterte. Yes, the tough-talking mayor randomly drives taxi at night, hoping to catch bad elements in the city. #9 Mayor Rody Duterte declined Cabinet offers Former presidents Fidel Ramos, Joseph Estrada and Gloria MacapagalArroyo offered Mayor Rody Duterte to be the DILG secretary but he declined. Even President Noynoy Aquino offered him the same post when Secretary Jesse Robredo died. But he again declined, maintaining his stand that he is not qualified. Humility is a character that very rare leaders have accomplished. #10 Mayor Rody Duterte gives monthly allowance to drug dependents Despite his strong campaign against illegal drugs, Mayor Rody Duterte has a soft spot for drug dependents especially the youth. In fact, his administration is giving P2,000-monthly allowance to local drug users who submit themselves and are willing to be treated at the 1.2-hectare Rehabilitation Center for Drug Dependents (RCDD) in BagoTugbok District, Davao City. 9

John Lloyd Cruz says he is currently single; opens up about issue with Bea Alonzo As Posted on PEP.ph
J
ohn Lloyd Cruz clarifies that he currently has no love life.
“Wala po, e,” said the Kapamilya actor during the presscon proper of his launch as the Philippine ambassador of Western Union, at the Marriot Hotel, Pasay City, last March 31. When prodded to be more truthful, John Lloyd replied, “I try my best to always speak the truth.” During his interview with the members of the press, the Kapamilya actor was asked again about the real status of his love life. “Wala po. Ganun pa rin po, ganun pa rin po,” he stressed. He added, “Mga haka-haka lang yung iba. Mas marunong pa dun sa tao kung ano ang isinusulat.” Last January, John Lloyd and Angelica Panganiban have called it quits. Bea Alonzo was allegedly involved in the breakup. But John Lloyd refuted this. He said that he and his perennial onscreen partner are just friends. The award-winning actor added, “E, ganun naman talaga, e. “Sanay naman tayo na napangungunahan tayo ng ibang tao. “Pero kasi, di ba, kung meron naman [lovelife], parang magiging masaya ka naman para ipamalita.” When asked to set the record straight, John Lloyd replied, “I don’t need to set the record straight. Wala namang nagbabago. “Parang basta kayo pa [pertaining to the press] ang unang makakaalam, makikita niyo naman yun, e, di ba? 10

shared more than enough para sa mga interesado.
“Life is too short, di ba?
“Because I know naman I owe it to my public and I have to share a piece of my pie and, yun lang po, hanggang dun lang.
“Dapat you have to make every moment count. “Sa edad kong ito, di ba, kung sina JaDine nga umaamin, tayo pa? “Nakakahiya naman kung magde-deny pa tayo,” continued the 32-year-old actor. Is he single at the moment? “Yeah. Yeah,” he replied. Does he and Bea talk about the issue of being romantically linked to each other? John Lloyd said, “Hindi naman namin siya pinag-uusapan per se, pero we don’t feel the need to talk about it. “Not necessarily dine-deadma, because sa mga taong involved kasi, sa mga taong kasama dun sa issue, parang alam niyo naman kung ano ang totoo. “And madalas sapat na sa ’min kung alam namin ang totoo.” ON ANGELICA. PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) then asked John Lloyd if he and Angelica already had a closure or if they still communicate. “Unang-una, that’s a very personal question,” he answered. “I’ve said enough about it. “I think that’s all I’m going to say about it, and yun lang. “I wish I could tell you more, but it’s too personal.” John Lloyd continued, “Parang minsan talaga, meron nang hangganan yung kaya nating i-share, but I think I’ve www.filipinostarmagazine.com
“But like I said, kung anuman ang mangyari, sa liit ng mundong ito, imposible namang makalampas sa kanila. “And, kumbaga, parang sa igsi ng buhay ng tao, parang hindi na tayo maglalaan ng panahon para sa mga paliguy-ligoy, sa paglilihim, sa pagtatago.” John Lloyd Cruz: 'I think importante rin ang Jennylyn Mercado sa atin, sa industriya natin.' John Lloyd Cruz praised his leading lady Jennylyn Mercado, whom he worked for the first time in a movie. They are paired in the upcoming Star Cinema movie, Just The 3 Of Us, which is directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina.
Filipino Star Magazine. Vancouver Edition. April, 2016
Apart from working together for the first time, what makes this team-up interesting is the fact that they are from
two rival TV networks: John Lloyd is from ABS-CBN Channel 2 while Jennylyn is from GMA-7.
John Lloyd also mentioned that the chance to work together gave them the chance to know more about each other.
“Ngayon kasi mas liberal na ang mga networks mag-isip na pwede naman pala, kasi maliit lang ‘tong mundo natin. Dapat ma-break ang barriers,” explained John Lloyd.
And it was the only time that John Lloyd found out that Jennylyn is also a singer.
Asked how Jennylyn is as an actress, the box-office actor described, “Masaya. Very professional, very dedicated. Wala akong masabi.
“In one of our bonding moments kasama yung staff naming, yung direktor namin, hindi ko po kasi alam na meron na pala siyang limang albums. Sobrang random lang.
“Like all the women na nakatrabaho ko in the past, I think importante rin ang Jennylyn Mercado sa atin, sa industriya natin.” John Lloyd did not disregard the fact that Jennylyn is a multi-awarded actress, as he is a multi-awarded actor. “Hindi naman niya kailangan sa credentials niya. Masaya lang na nakatrabaho ko rin siya, na-experience ko na nakatrabaho rin siya.”
“She’s a fantastic singer pala. Hindi ko alam,” he said shyly.
“We went to a family KTV, nagkantahan kami, kumanta siya. And parang jawdropping. Galing talaga.” When asked what makes this project with Jennylyn exciting for him, John Lloyd replied, “I’m very excited kasi gusto kong malaman, after the film or in this film, makikita natin kung ano talaga ang pwede o meron sa aming dalawa, as far as doing a film is concerned.”

An Open Letter from a Filipino Staff Nurse in Canada for Mayor Duterte goes viral online
H
ello My Fellow Duterte Supporters. As Part of this Page I want to share to you my own Duterte Story.
Andito po ako sa Calgary, Canada working as a staff nurse sa isang hospital. Sa sobrang busy po ng work at minsan pagod na rin wala na po akong oras para manood ng balita lalo na month of November medyo maraming mga pasyente ang nag rerequest ng private nurse pra sa kanilang bakasyun kaya po nagkakaroon ng shortage sa manpower sa hospital. November 9, 2013 pagdating ko pa lang may announcement ang head nurse. Nagtatanong sila kung sino willing sumama sa Tacloban as volunteers para tumulong sa mga Yolanda Victims, di ako nakapagbukas ng tv kaya di ko alam kung gaano ka kalaki pinsala ng bagyo. Nagvolunteer ako dahil ilang taon na rin akong di nakauwi ng Pilipinas. Sa totoo lng po medyo nakakahiya man pero sabi talaga ng Head ng Board of Trustees ng Hospital siguraduhin na kami magdadala ng tulong, donations at relief goods dahil daw po government ng Pilipinas at di mapagkakatiwalaan. Exact word nya "You send representatives and volunteers to Tacloban and make sure that nobody touches the goods. Philippine Government cannot be trusted. Hand it personally to the victims!" Ouch medyo awkward Pinoy po ako Madame! Lol. Gabi ng Nov 9 kami lumipad via Boeing C17 Globemaster yun po ang aircraft na ginagamit sa Canada for relief operations. Nakakatuwa kasi halos puro pinoy din ang mga volunteers na galing sa ibang mga hospital. 12
"
Minarapat ko po talagang isulat ito sa Tagalog upang maintindihan ng lahat ng mga Pilipino lalong lalo na ang mga boboto sa darating na eleksyun.
�
Halos isang araw din ang byahe Nov 10 ng gabi kmi lumapag ng Tacloban. Magulong magulo ang lugar, di kami agad makapasok. Kung napanood nyo Resident Evil prang ganun ang environment doon, my mga usok, mga wasak na bahay, sirang building at tindahan sa paligid, patay na nagkakalat kung saan2x, my umiiyak, sumisigaw, di talaga namin alam kung ano uunahin namin nagmask na kami dahil sa sobrang baho, marahil nangangamoy na ang mga patay sa paligid.
incharge at pumayag sya na ipamigay na ng mga kasama namin ang goods at mga gamot.
Nag set up kami ng tent, paunti unti yung mga lalakeng volunteers sila naglakas loob na pumasok pra magbigay ng mga pagkain, yung nkakainis lang kasi po may mga kawani ng DSWD na hinaharang yung mga volunteers na gustong pumasok kasi po yung package ng relief goods namin ay kumpleto na per pack makakasurvive na sila dpat for a week pero ginagawa nila iniinspect nila tapos sinasabi na for 3days lang ang ibigay kasi hihingi at hihingi daw yun uli.
Nov 11, may ilang grupo na nakikita namin na tumutulong sa mga batang umiiyak kasi hinahanap nila mga magulang nila, ilan sa kanila gutom, meron ding medical team na tumutulong samin pra gumamot sa mga nasugatan.
Yung mga branded na gamot na dala namin gusto pa sana nilang palitan ng local brand, talagang di ako mkapaniwala na ganun na ang sitwasyun nakuha pa nilang unahin ang pansariling interes. Sa gitna ng mga nagugutom, nag iiyakan, mga bangkay, at mga taong naghahanap ng kani kanilang mga pamilyang nawawala! Talagang napipikon na kami dahil naawa na kami sa mga survivors lalo na sa mga bata. Nagagalit na rin ang Canadian na team leader ng grupo namin kasi sabi nya walang instructions galing sa Canadian Government na irerepack ang mga nakaready na package, after a while may dumating na babae nagpakilala siya na siya ang www.filipinostarmagazine.com
Siguro na alarma dahil sabi ng Team Leader namin na itatawag nya sa DART Head o Disaster Assistance Response Team. So yun na nag umpisa na kaming magtrabaho sobrang nakakapagod pero iba ang pakiramdam na nakakatulong ka sa kapwa Pilipino.
Tapos may isang tao na kumuha ng atensyun naming lahat kasi medyo my edad na sya, pero maliksi pa rin gumalaw, kumakarga ng mga batang umiiyak, nag eestima sa mga matatandang inuubo dahil sa ginaw, tumutulong sa mga nag aasikaso ng mga patay sa kalsada, hanggang sa pinagpahinga sya ng kasama nyang doctor dahil nalipasan na pala ng gutom. Sabi ng kasama naming Canadian Team Leader "That guy should run in politics, not like that guy in blue (Mar Roxas) who stayed in his tent and just give orders i can't believe your President trusted him to be the Head of the Response Team he just sit there, eat his delicious meal, go out and act helpful whenever there is media and camera, i think he’s planning to run in a higher position, but i like that old guy, he’s really something, he'll make a good politician" yun narinig ng isang duktor lumapit sya sa amin at nagsabi sa akin "Excuse me po, Nurse actually talagang pulitiko po sya, Sya
Filipino Star Magazine. Vancouver Edition. April, 2016
po si Mayor Rodrigo Duterte ng Davao City". Ah! Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, pangalang nakaukit na sa aking isip. From that time, di na nawala sa isip ko ang pangalan nya nakita ko pa na kahit pagod sya nakuha pa nyang ngumiti ng my lumapit sa kanyang isang bata na my dalang tinapay. Di talaga sya kagaya ng ibang pulitiko who loves to be interviewed and featured. Si Mayor Duterte talagang pinangatawanan nya ang tunay na kahulugan ng Public Servant. After one week na pag volunteer umuwi na kami ng Canada di na ako nkauwi sa probinsya namin but it’s worth it sarap talaga ng feeling ng nakatulong kahit wala kaming sweldo. Pagbalik ko ng Canada binigyan kami ng 3days pra makapagpahinga, nag research ako tungkol kay Mayor
Duterte at lalo akong naimpress sa mga achievements nya at mga nagawa nya sa Davao. Isa ako sa mga nagnais na sana ay tumakbo siya bilang Presidente sinundan ko na balita tungkol sa kanya mabuti o masama mang balita. Natuwa talaga ako ng nakumbinsi syang tumakbo sa pagka Pangulo. Isa rin ako sa nagkakampanya sa kanya dito sa Canada. Di nga lang po bulgaran kasi po mga pulitiko din Pamilya ko sa Probinsya namin mula pa sa mga lolo at lola ko at ngayon ang nakaupong mayor ay pinsang buo ko, di ko pwedeng hayagang mangampanya dahil nasa Liberal ang Pinsan ko pero sinasabi ko po sa inyo sa lahat ng kakilala ko dito sa Canada, pti sa mga pamilya nila talagang kinakampanya ko c mayor at isa ako sa mga punong abala sa pag organisa ng aming paglilibut dito kung walang pasok pra pa rin mangampanya. Hangad ko po na manalo ang isang
tulad ni Mayor Duterte. Sabi nga ng Team Leader namin "if He (Mayor Duterte) will lead your country, it will be progressive and definitely will be one of the greatest and most respected country because of his big heart for the poor and needy". Sana po ay bigyan ninyo ng pagkakataon si Mayor na pagsilbihan kayo, sa lahat ng my duda magsaliksik kayo, updated na ngayon kahit saan mag internet, wag maniwala sa mga nakikita sa tv at nababasa sa mga dyaryo. Dahil si Mayor Duterte ang klase ng tao na ayaw isapubliko ang kanyang mga mabubuting nagagawa sa bayan. Kudos to you, Mayor. May God continue to bless you with good health so you can help and serve more People. Whatever the result maybe, whatever the outcome of the election, i will always be grateful that once in my life i had extend my hands to helped my fellow Filipinos and had experienced serving my country with the Legend, Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

Kris Aquino admits ‘feeling a bit low’ over Kris TV replays As Posted on PEP.ph
have a picture taken, because it was a sign of appreciation. “We went to a warehouse club today, our 1st time... I'll admit, I was feeling a bit low these past few days realizing that they're airing Kris TV replays while preparing the new show to replace me in a couple of weeks... “There were nonstop selfies & I think my mom just wanted to remind me how blessed I've been to have touched so many lives & moving on isn't really something to fear but something to look forward to. “And that's because looking back at my 20 years on TV, you gave me so much of your time, attention & affection. #Mahalo” Ang salitang ‘mahalo’ ay Hawaiian word na ang ibig sabihin ay salamat. SURREAL. Sa kasunod na post ni Kris, ipinakita naman nito ang photo collage ng yumao niyang ina na si dating Pangulong Corazon 'Cory' Aquino at ang kanyang kuya na si Pangulong Noynoy Aquino. Marami raw ang nagsasabing magkamukha si PNoy at ang bunsong anak ni Kris na si Bimby.

asalukuyan pa ring nasa 'wellness vacation' si Kris Aquino at ang dalawa niyang anak na sina Joshua at Bimby sa Hawaii. Katulad ng ipinangako ng Queen of All Media, magbibigay pa rin siya ng update sa kanyang fans at followers sa mga pangyayari sa kanilang bakasyon. Noong March 31 [March 30 sa Hawaii], nag-post si Kris ng bagong
larawan sa Instagram kung saan nagpa-picture sa kanya ang maraming fans. Nabanggit niya rito na nalulungkot siya dahil ipinapalabas pa rin sa ABS-CBN ang replays ng dati niyang show sa ABS-CBN na Kris TV, habang hinahanda ang kapalit nitong show. Saad ng TV host-actress, “My mom would always remind me to be grateful whenever people asked to
“Several friends had my mom's picture w/ a young PNoy in their Facebook feeds—the caption was, ‘Pres. Cory Aquino with Bimby?’ “It's surreal to see how much Bimb looks like his Tito Noy... Bimb even said, ‘Wow Tito Noy had a llot of hair before.’ “Happy last day of March to all of you back home, it's just March 30 sunset here.”

april HOROSCOPE ASTROTWINS, ASTROLOGY FORECAST Source: pilipino-express.com Masaya ang Abril para sa iyo. Kung may pag-ibig, lalong iinit ang inyong pagmamahalan. Kung single, hindi mahirap hanapin ang magiging kabiyak ng iyong puso. Wala kang dapat gawing espesyal upang mangyari ito. Manatili ka lang tapat sa sarili mo.
May umagang sa paggising mo ay parang ang saya-saya at walang mangyayaring masama sa iyo at mga mahal mo sa buhay, di ba? Ito ang nakalaan sa iyo sa Abril. Basta habaan mo lang lagi ang iyong pasensya at wala kang magiging problema sa buwan na ito.
Alam mo bang wala ka sa isang isla? Kailangan mong makisama sa ibang tao. Kung babalewalain mo sila, gayon din ang balik nila sa iyo. Huwag kang taklesa. Kung alam mong makakasakit ng damdamin ang iyong sasabihin, isarado mo na lang ang bibig.
Kung sa araw-araw ay kailangan mong makisalamuha sa mga tao, ayusin mo ang iyong panlabas na itsura para mas lalo kang pagtiwalaan ng iba. Tama at mabuti ang iyong intension subalit kung mali ang impresyon nila sa iyo, sayang lang ang pagsusumikap mo.
Sikapin mong pagaralan ang mga bagong paraan upang umunlad ang iyong kaalaman. Komportable ka ngayon pero iwasan mo ang mapag-iwanan. May babala pa rin sa iyong kaulusugan. Mag-isip ka muna bago ka magbitiw ng masasakit na salita. Manahimik ka.
Gawin mo ang dapat upang magkaroon ka ng gagawin. Mag-plano ka muna. Isulat mo ang mga naiisip mo at isaisa mong pag-aralan kung alin ang uunahin. Wala kang matatapos kung uumpisahan mo lahat. May oras ka, gamitin mo sana iyon nang maayos.
Huwag kang mainggit sa mga kaibigan mong may ka-romansa na sa buhay. Sumama ka sa mga outings nila. Darating din ang tamang oras para sa iyo. Magugulat ka na lang, nandiyan lang pala ang mamahalin mo sa tabi mo. Huwag mainip. Masaya ang Abril mo.
Masaya ka sa iyong love life. Minsan lang ay ikaw mismo ang mainipin kung kaya nagkakaroon kayo ng problema. Tao rin siya. Kailangan niya ng oras na para sa sarili lang niya. Unawain mo siya kung hindi siya laging sumasama sa mga aya mo. Trust and respect.
Mahirap iwasan ang mga bagay na nagbibigay sa iyo ng stress. Pero alam mo ba na kailangan mong turuan ang iyong puso at utak na bawasan ang sobrang pag-iisip ng problema? Kalusugan mo ang nakasalalay. Ikaw lang ang makakatulong sa sarili mo.
Kailangan mong magpahinga. Napakaraming gumulo sa iyong utak at damdamin nitong mga nakaraang buwan. Maraming umaasa sa iyo subalit mas mahihirapan sila kapag hindi ka malusog. Mag-focus ka sa mahalaga – ikaw iyon. Mag-relax ka, mas sasaya ka.
Naniniwala ka ba sa “love at first sight?” OK ito kung wala ka pang pananagutan. Kung single ka, humayo ka. Kung hindi ka na libre, pag-aralan mong ibahin ang damdamin kapag nakikita mo siya. Nasa kutson ka na, baka sa sahig ka mapunta.
Inaalagaan mo ang iyong pangalan kaya’t kung may magbabalak na sirain ang iyong reputasyon, dapat ay alerto ka. Oo nga’t hindi ka dapat maging praning sa mga gustong makipagkaibigan sa iyo, walang masama kung babantayan mo ang mga sinasabi mo sa kanila.

“Yun lang, yung family niya, kasama ko yung friends ko, simple lang. “Nung [March] 26, nung birthday niya, day itself, then bumalik ako [sa Manila] the next day.” Marami ang natutuwa na nakakagawa na ng sariling mga lakad niya si Sarah na hindi kasama ang mga magulang. Sabi niya tungkol dito, “Step by step po, step by step. “At least po kahit papaano. Masaya naman, oo.” 29
