The unexpected pair-up: Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza
N
o one expected it, as everyone would think a short skit in an afternoon show is too old nowadays, but the change of tides stroked Eat Bulaga when they decided to put Maine Mendoza (known as the Dubsmash Queen of the Philippines) as “Yaya Dub” in the segment “All for Juan, Juan for All Problem’s Solving”. Alongside with Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola), Jose and Paolo Ballesteros, Maine proved that her comedic skills are also for television. Even more, according to spot.ph, their unexpected team made its debut last July 16, the staff found out that Mendoza has a crush on the new “Dabarkads” host, Alden Richards, so they asked to make a cameo as a surprise. After that giddy scene, sparks flew and “Aldub”, the combination of Alden Richards and Yaya Dub came to its existence. Now trending on social media sites, Kapuso actor Alden Richards was taken aback by the popularity of the Aldub Love Team. Richards admitted in an interview on Startalk (GMA’s Showbiz News) they didn’t expect that their love team will
earn this much attention. He is very happy on how their love team is now trending worldwide on Twitter. Moreover, Alden was happy for being part of Eat Bulaga and humbly admitted that he doesn’t want his fame to get into his head. Since Alden Richards was just added to the EB Dabarkads two months ago. “Sobrang happy po! Kasi ilang artista po ba ang nabibigyan ng chance na mag-host sa isang malaking noontime show na Eat Bulaga,” he said in an
www.filipinostarmagazine.com
interview on Startalk. The unexpected team up of AlDub is one of the reasons why Eat Bulaga is number one in noon time show. Even the director of the show, Mike Tuviera confessed that their love team was an accident. For now, let’s just wait for the “tamang panahon” for Alden Richards and Yaya Dub to meet personally.

L
along nagiging close si Coco Martin kay Ms. Susan Reyes lalo na ngayong magkatrabaho sila sa FPJ’s Ang Probinsiyanona malapit nang mapanood sa ABS-CBN Primetime Bida. Aminado rin ang actor na malapit na malapit din sa puso niya ang Queen of Philippine Movies. “Nakikita ko talaga na para ko siyang lola. May panahon ako sa kanila para kumustahin sila, para makipagkuwentuhan sa kanila, alagaan sila sa set. Kasi, sabi ko nga napakathankful ko na nandiyan sila para sa akin, para tulungan ako at suportahan,” sabi ni Coco sa kanyang solo presscon para sa Ang Probinsyano. Tinanong na rin ng Push.com. ph si Coco kung hiningi na ba ni Ms. Susan ang tulong niya para ikampanya si Sen. Grace Poe just in case tumakbo ito sa eleksyon sa 2016. Ang sagot niya: “Sa akin po, hindi po sa akin pamantayan na parang... at klaro po sa ami ni Tita Susan yon. Sa totoo lang po, walang halong kasinungalingan, pero never naming pinag-usapan kung tutulungan ko ba siya o hihingi siya sa akin ng tulong. Kapag nag-uusap po kami ni Tita Susan, about sa personal na buhay, about sa trabaho namin. “Kasi, alam kong napakataas din po ng respeto niya sa akin, eh. Na para tanungin o lapitan.

Kaya ganu’n ang ginagawa ko ngayon sa mga nakababatang artista sa akin. “Masarap kasi sa pakiramdam kapag may mga taong na-appreciate ka, kapag nakakatulong ka. Eh, ano pa bang hahangarin ko sa ngayon? Sobra-sobra na po kung anong meron ako ngayon... sobra na po para sa akin,” sambit pa ni Coco.
“Actually, kahanga-hanga nga po yon, eh. Dahil siyempre, unang-una, hanggang hindi niya dinudumihan yung uniporme nila, hangga’t nirerespeto nila yung trabaho nila at ginagawa yung trabaho nila, wala pong problema do’n,” dagdag pa niya. Kasi, iba naman po tayo sa trabaho natin at sa personal na buhay natin. Sa akin po, wala pong masama don sa mga ganung bagay,” patuloy pa ng actor. Bilang Drama King, uso pa rin ba sa kanya ngayon ang kompetisyon lalo na sa iba pang mahuhusay na actor ng ABS-CBN? “Kahit nu’ng nasa indie pa ako, hindi po pumapasok sa isip ko ang kompetisyon. Basta ako, ginagawa ko kung ano yung tingin kong tama,” paliwanag niya. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Convenience at the forefront of LBC’s service
F
ilipinos fly abroad to seek greener pastures and support their families back home. But sometimes, in their pursuit to work hard to provide better opportunities for the loved ones they leave behind, they miss the operating hours of their trusted courier services. LBC Express, Inc., the Philippines’ trusted payments, remittance, courier products, mail, parcels, and cargo logistics service is giving Filipinos in North America bigger reasons to smile as they’re extending their pickup hours in Canada, California, New York, New Jersey, and Chicago. As part of its improved services, branches will offer box pick-up services as early as 7:30AM up to as late as 8:30PM. “As part of our pledge to move the lives of Filipinos in North America, we decided to extend our pick-up hours in order to accommodate more customers and make sure they can send their packages,” says Hugo Bonilla, Senior Vice President of LBC North America. “We understand that many of them are here so they can support their family in the Philippines, so we want to make it more convenient for them to send their padama.” The move to extend hours is part of LBC’s commitment to providing clear, certain, and convenient service. To 16
date, Filipinos around the world rely on its 6,400 branches, partners, and agents in over 30 countries. In North America alone, LBC has 176 branches, partners and agents. For added convenience, customers can simply call the nearest branch, partner, or agent to schedule a pickup, or log on at www.lbchome.com. To ensure the proper delivery of balikbayan boxes, LBC advises customers to select the right box based on the size and items to be packed. Heavier items must be put at the bottom, while fragile and easilydamaged items have to be secured in bubble wrap. Sharp items must be padded and empty spaces be filled with crumpled newspaper or Styrofoam peanuts. It is also important to not overstuff the box and sneak in undeclared items, as these will not be insured. LBC also advises customers not to bring prohibited items like illegal and prohibited drugs, firearms, jewelry, pornographic materials, fake and counterfeit goods, perishable goods, toxic and flammable items, and other items that may be held by the Bureau of Customs. “LBC is the overseas Filipino’s partner in reaching out to their loved ones back home,” shares Bonilla. “As the trusted name in courier, we want to www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Binibining Pilipinas adds 2 more int’l pageants Isabel Doria as Posted on NewsCentral.PH
T
he Binibining Pilipinas has added two more international pageants on its roster this year, it was announced on Friday, August 28. Stella Marquez Araneta, chairperson of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc., said that winners of the annual contest will participate in Miss Grand International and Miss Globe pageants. Winners of Binibining Pilipinas take part in prestigious international contests namely Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Supranational and Miss Intercontinental. With the addition of the new international contests, then the Bb. Pilipiinas pageant will now have six title holders and two runnersup, making it the biggest local beauty contest in history in terms of number of titles. 2014 Bb. Pilipipinas Tourism Parul Shah will compete in the 2015 Miss Grand International contest in Thailand on Oct 26 while 2015 Bb. Plipinas Tourism Ann Colis will join Miss Globe in Canada on Oct. 11. This will be the first time that the Binibining Pilipinas will participate in Miss Grand International and Miss Globe pageants, said Mrs Araneta, during press-send off held at Gloria Maris, Gateway Mall, Araneta Center in Cubao,
Quezon City. Shah, 26, who was born in Dubai, said that her contract with BPCI will expire in September and was ready to give up hopes on an international contest until she received a call from Mrs. Araneta. “I was really surprised! I can’t believe it’s happening.” Araneta has promised Shah to find her an international contest. But it took awhile before the BPCI found her a pageant because all the frachises for tourism pageants have been acquired. Colis, 22, of Pampanga, got emotional when she learned she will compete in the 42nd Miss Globe pageant. “This is my first time to travel abroad. And I’m so thankful for Mrs. Araneta for this wonderful opportunity,” Colis said. Shah is scheduled to fly to Bangkok, Thailand on Oct. 4 while Colis will fly to Toronto, Canada on Sept. 20. Kris Tiffany Janson, who won second-runner up in the 2014 Miss Intercontinental contest, will fly to Egypt for activities related to the pageant. Among the well-wishers were Binibinis Yvette Marie Santiago, Mary Anne Guidotti, Janicel Lubina, Hannah Ruth Sison, Kimverlyn Suiza, Rogelie Catacutan, and Christi Lynn McGarry. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

So what is the finished product? If your eyes glance over to the right side of David’s neck, you’ll spot the word “Buster” with a small but significant heart. Pretty thoughtful, right?

Last month, David went under the needle to tattoo “Pretty Lady” in honor of daughter Harper. And yes, Romeo, 12, and Cruz, 10, all share real estate on David’s fit body.

Forget the negativity and the haters.” He continued, “She’s rocking and rolling and having a good time. What the world needs is love. There’s too much hate… The world needs positive influences.” In the end, as long as Miley is OK, her family can’t be anything but supportive. “Even when she was a little girl, we told her, ‘Hey, baby, do what you do and have fun doing it. Do it because you love it, not because you have to,’” Billy Ray said. “Seeing her happy is the greatest thing ever.” Miley recently came out about her sexuality when she was asked about

september HOROSCOPE ASTROTWINS, ASTROLOGY FORECAST Source: pilipino-express.com Magiging busy ang buwan na ito para sa iyo. May mga pagbabagong darating na kailangan mong bigyan pansin. Kung hindi ka pabor sa mga ito, gawin mo pa rin nang magaan sa kalooban dahil pagtagal ng panahon, ito ay para sa kabutihan ng lahat.
Mapapansin mong magiging magaan ang dating ng pera sa iyo. May mga lalapit din sa iyo upang mangutang. Huwag mong papatulan dahil hindi mo na makikita ang perang ipapa-utang mo. Gastahin mo para sa sarili mo ang extrang perang makukuha mo.
Sa wakas, kikilalanin na rin ang iyong mga ginagawang positibo para sa iyong pamilya o sa iyong trabaho. Kung noon ay parang bale wala sa kanila ang iyong sakripisyo, makikita mo ngayon ang kaibahan. Magiging mapayapa na ang iyong relasyon.
Maganda ang pasok ng Setyembre para sa iyo. Pati ang problema mo sa kalusugan ay nagkakaroon na ng linaw. Makabubuting magpahinga ka sa mga darating na araw dahil napagod ang isip at katawan mo nitong nakaraang buwan. Iwasan mo ang dangerous sport.
Para ka bang nauupos na kandila pagsapit ng gabi? Kung gayon, masyado mong pinapagod ang sarili at kulang ka sa pahinga. Gusto mo bang humaba ang buhay mo? Maglibang ka naman at alagaan mo ang iyong isipan. Hindi kasalanan ang maging masaya.
Kailangang lakasan mo ang iyong loob dahil may mga darating na pangyayaring hahamon sa iyong isip at damdamin. Magkakaroon ng problema ang isang tao na malapit sa iyo. Maging malakas ka para sa kaniya dahil kakailanganin ka niya sa oras na ito.
Masyadong maraming mangyayari sa buhay mo sa pagpasok ng Setyembre. Huwag kang mataranta kung mabilis ang mga kaganapan sa paligid mo. May masaya at malungkot. Kailangan mong magpakatatag upang hindi magulo ang mga plano mong gawin.
Makikilala mo ang totoong pagkatao ng isang inaakala mo ay tapat mong kaibigan. Huwag kang malungkot dahil mas mabuti na ang madiskubre mo kung ano ba talaga siya. Huwag mo nang pag-aksayahan ng oras dahil hindi siya marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob.
Maikli lang ang buhay sa mundo kaya pahalagahan natin ito. May mga pagsubok na darating sa kalusugan. Hindi mo kayang walisin sa ilalim ng kama ang problemang ito. Ibukas mo ang iyong mata sa katotohanan. Alamin mo kung paano bubuti ang kalagayan mo.
Puwede bang bawasan mo ang mga pinagkakaabalahan mo? Hindi mo napapansin pero ang kalusugan mo ang nahihirapan sa dami ng inaasikaso mo. Very stressful ang buhay mo ngayon. Hinay-hinay ka muna. Wala namang mawawala sa iyo. Sa halip, mas sasaya ka pa.
May pagsubok na darating kaugnay ng iyong relasyon – sa kaibigan o sa minamahal. Habaan mo ang iyong pang-unawa ngunit kung sa palagay mo ay inaabuso na ang iyong pagbibigay, magsalita ka na. Alam mo kung ikaw ay niloloko na. Umalma ka na.
Mag-relax ka at huwag mo munang intindihin ang mga problema. May pagsubok na darating sa iyong karelasyon. Kung matibay ang pundasyon ninyo, malulutas ang problema. Kung hindi, malamang ay matapos na ito. Malungkot pero wala kang magagawa.

All-Filipino sisters impress X Factor UK judges, viewers question group’s legitimacy By Zsa-zsa Zorilla as Posted on NewsCentral.PH
T
he “4th Power,” an all-Filipino female group, impressed judges led by Simon Cowell when they auditioned for the “X Factor UK” on Saturday, August 29 (August 30, Manila time) at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The all-girl group composed of four sisters, namely Almira, Celena, Mylene and Irene from Isabela, belted out “Bang! Bang!” originally done by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, to the delight of the audience who packed the stadium. “We are the 4th Power from the Philippines,” the group introduced. “We flew all the way from the Philippines … just to be here.” Cowell asked them how they felt to be on the stage of the show. They said: “We’re like floating in the air. Like a dream come true.” In their introduction video prior to their performance, the girls said: “We started singing as group since 2001 and we’ve been competing in different places.” “We love X Factor UK and our ultimate dream is to perform in front of Simon Cowell,” they added. After their performance, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini said: “You just absolutely take Wembley’s roof off!” “It’s like you are all monsters, but my new monsters,” singer Rita Ora commented. “The passion, the voices and the attitude and I was like, I want to be their sisters,
so it’s a yes!!” Ora added. “Wembley what just happened? This is going to blow up all over the world,” said Nick Grimshaw.
“You are a bad ass and it’s a yes for me.” said Versini. “4th Power, you have the biggest 4 YES’ that we’ve ever given,” ended Cowell.
“We get people say that it’s the British X-Factor and shouldn’t it just be opened for British people and we always said that we welcome people all over the world and you are incredibly welcome,” said Cowell. “This is probably the best I’ve ever seen.”
But the 4th Power did not escape people’s criticisms. Viewers said that the musical group are already professional singers.
“This audition has just changed your lives,” added Versini.
“We want to reach our dreams of having that prize and helping our family to have our own house and not be transferring about in different parts of Manila,” the sisters said.
At the end, the judges deliberated and said: Grimshaw said, “You’re my favorite girl band so it’s a yes for me.” Ora replied: “You are sick and it’s a yes for me.”
In interview with Daily Mail UK, the pop quartet answered: “We’re chasing our dreams wherever it’s possible.”
According to an X Factor spokesperson as quoted in Daily Mail UK: “There are no rules preventing anyone who has appeared on other shows from applying for The X Factor.”

All the viewers, whether you are a viewer, you are there, With their Trending tweets on twitter tumatawid yung emosyon sa TV, you and Videos that hit almost a million can actually see it, the way she smiles every episode. There is no doubt that it's real. I think that's the way it's so the AlDub Fever has gone through viral. powerful and so effective. Kasi there's a thin line between comedy, drama. "Pati kami kinikilig,makikita mo naman Lahat ng drama nandun eh. You don’t kaming mga hosts lahat kani kinikilig. know what's gonna happen next.” Nung una kasi with Alden, atleast parang joke lang yan, "Yaya Dub" Eh (With reports from pep.ph) ngayon totoong pangalan na ginagamit.

Lutong Nanay: Healthy Kikiam By: Mrs. Z. Turn to the other side after 25 mins. If you don’t like it baked, you may opt to steam it for 30 minutes. SAUCE: In a sauce pan, put 3 tbsp. of vinegar. Add 1/3 cup of plum sauce. Add red chillies if desired and simmer in low heat for 4 minutes. This recipe yields about 5 pcs. of the 10 inch rolls.
K
ikiam is a sausage-like dish which originated China and has long been one of the favorite “pica-pica” among Filipinos. It sometimes is added in other Filipino dishes like pancit or is sometimes used as substitute for meat in some veggy-based dishes. Making it is relatively easy as it is similar with lumpiang shanghai. INGREDIENTS: 1lb. Ground pork 2 medium sized onions, purple and white, finely chopped 2 tbsp. toasted dried baby shrimp (toast for 2 mins. in the toaster) 4 stalks celery, finely chopped 1tsp. Salt 1/2 tsp. pepper 1 tbsp. fish sauce (Squid Brand) 1 tbsp. soy sauce (Kimlan) 2 tbsp. egg white (free range, pure egg white)
Nanay notes: This dish is really very healthy 1 packet dry bean curd as it is high in protein, high wrapper HOW TO DO IT: • Salt the pork. In a bowl, mix well all ingredients except the bean curd wrapper. • Matapos haluin ang lahat ng sangkap. Ihanda na ang inyong bean curd wrapper. • Wet the bean curd wrapper, (comes in irregular sheets) for easier handling. • Put in 3-4 tbsp. of the meat mixture on the wrapper and roll in 10 inches length. • Tuck in the ends and roll the bean curd.

in fiber and very low in fat. You can also replace the ground pork with ground chicken. You can prepare it in batches and put in the fridge individually wrapped and re-heat as wanted. Using kitchen scissors cut in bite size pieces. This dish, is very time consuming to make manually. Takes just minutes for Mrs. Z because she uses Thermomix.

Lydia Ko wins the 2015 CP Canadian Women’s Open
While Ko has taken home the trophy three times, 2015 will mark the first time that Ko is able to take home a winner’s cheque in Canada as her victories in 2012 and 2013 came when she was still an amateur. Filipino golfing great Jennifer Rosales also competed in the event but unfortunately did not make the cut to join the final 2 rounds.
