Special Feauture Paula Peralejo to KathNiel, other celebs on getting back to school: GO FOR IT!

f you have any chance to open those books, enroll and attend classes, and earn a degree, grab that opportunity if you can, ex-teen star Paula PeralejoFernandez advises the current crop of young A-list Pinoy celebrities contemplating that move. Among them, Kathryn Bernardo has made a successful effort in slowly returning to school by currently enrolling at Enderun Colleges for a few units in pursuit of a marketing degree. She also revealed that her partner, Daniel Padilla, was inspired by her move and has indicated interest to also get back to school but was wary about dedicating time for it since he would only want 100% attention to anything that he does. According to Paula, who left showbiz in 2005 to pursue a BA Philosophy degree at UP Diliman and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2008, there could still be a way for them to squeeze in some school work in their busy schedule, just like Kathryn. “Celebrities seem (by seem, this means I am not sure. Just an observation from the outside) to have time to do the things they want while still being in the limelight, so I would say, grab that opportunity if you can,” Paula tells Push. Especially with the emergence of distance education prevalent in leading learning institutions in the country, artists can surely get that chance if they wanted to. Kim Chiu grabbed that chance last year by enrolling in a Business course at the UP Open University and taking subjects when her busy schedule allowed. The most important thing, she says, is that the pursuit for a degree doesn’t stop. Paula added that anyone, not only celebrities, should realize the importance of education even if they have already established careers and earning at an early age. “I started young and left traditional school at such an early age to work as an actress,” said Paula, a top Kapamilya talent who starred in such hit ABS-CBN youth-oriented shows as Tabing Ilog, Gimik, and the classic primetime teleserye Mula Sa Puso. “I realized education is so important because there came a point when I felt like I didn't know anything anymore. I felt like I was in the world of glitz and glamour but has no sense of reality. I realized its value after missing it for a long time. I believe that the world is our classroom; however, I do think education is important because it is an avenue that allows us (or even forces us) to really think.” For Paula, education became her priority and sacrificed her showbiz career for it.

“I gave up show business when I went back to college. For a while, I was juggling work and school, and my teachers were very understanding, but I realized there was no point in going back to school if I was always absent because of work. So I resigned from my last show and never went back.” And after giving full concentration to her studies, Paula excelled in her academics and became an honor student, an indication that she truly gives her best in everything she does. This goes the same for Paula’s sister Rica, who also closed the door on a successful showbiz career to complete her college education at the Ateneo. “I took up Philosophy, a course that many people regard as useless because it's not exactly a "practical" course in the sense that there's no particular job for you when you graduate,” Paula noted. “But taking it is something I'll never regret and something I'll always be thankful for because every day, I see the rewards of thinking the way I was taught.” Her education led to a fuller, contented life and enriched her entire being, not just achieving a means to earn a living. Paula has since become an entrepreneur, using what she learned in school and utilizing her passion for travel, in a business she runs with her husband, Charlie Fernandez, Our Restless Feet Travel and Tours, which they operate hands-on and on their own. “I see the rewards of thinking the way I was taught. It helps me with my work, my everyday life, how I see the world, my values, my opinions, my thoughts. I always say I never would have thought about all these things had I not gone back to school. But I think even if you choose other fields, there is something new you'll surely learn. That is your reward - the learnings,” Paula stressed. She added: “You won't be ashamed that you don't know anything. You won't be affected when people say celebrities are dumb. Because you will definitely learn and see the world through a different lens.” As for the celebrities she is encouraging to get back to school, the biggest, most advantageous benefit from finishing education is that they can “stand on their own two feet.” “When you're a celebrity, the world tends to revolve around you. Everyone does everything for you. Everyone knows your every move,” Paula stressed. “It's nice to be able to work on your own and stand on your own two feet; and to be part of a reality you've heard of but have not tasted. It's a humbling and enriching experience, and when you're done with it all, you'll be proud and glad you took your chance.”

Comedians normally pack a good punchline anywhere they go, and some really hit it best online, particularly on social media where those one-liners or two really go the lengthy distance in getting that hearty laugh. Locally, there have been a few, who bring their best stuff to even the limited 140-character space allotted on Twitter. But no one could compare to one singer-comedienne, who brought together both her live and online personas all in the same rib-tickling fare. Who would not even have a slight chuckle when Ethel Booba pounds that joke and ends with a “Charot!”, whether on stage or on her Twitter account @IamEthylGabison? Actually, Ethel’s tweets aren’t actually those that share a new wardrobe, reveal an exboyfriend’s irritating mannerism, or simply retweeting a fellow sultry star’s scandal. She makes incredibly spot-on, witty and hilarious comments about the most-talked about matters of the day—from the power outage that hit the NAIA to the PiliPinas Presidential Debates. While most have not seen Ethel regularly in the spotlight, her rip-roaring tweets retweeted and shared by her amused 164,000 followers to fellow Twitter users or reshared on Facebook, expanding her reach farther than any of her present stand-up performances or TV guestings combined. Last Month PiliPinas townhall presidential debate on ABS-CBN became that big brouhaha she could not help but hilariously comment on. She really made one thing perfectly clear…

And, asked if ABS-CBN was “biased”?

Ethel saw in her feed that someone would give up on the Philippines if a certain candidate would win:

She also realized that someone forgot to include an important question in the debate’s “Fast Talk” portion.

And about one candidate’s proclaimed qualifications for the presidency…

She also found something wrong in a candidate’s hashtag…

Ethel also observed how one vice-presidential candidate was delivering his point.

Finally, what she thinks as a terrible mistake on the part of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport authorities during one “bad luck” April night…

WATCH: Daniel Padillaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball-themed 21st birthday video 12

June 2016

JAPAN EDITION FREE

Everyone’s favorite Teen King Daniel Padilla is turning 21 today. His legions of supporters made sure that the entire Twitterverse knew about it by counting down days and making different hashtags everyday for the trending list. There are those who are curious as to what they can expect from the Teen King (who is now no longer a teen). What else will he be trying out? How will things be different now that he is officially a “man?” Daniel answered all these questions in one go.

“Wala naman sigurong magbabago sakin. Siguro ang hirap sabihin na may magbabago eh. Siguro mas ano ako ngayon, iba na ‘yung thinking nung dati sa ngayon,” he said. “Like dati ano ka lang eh, oo ka lang ng oo, payag ka lang ng payag. Ngayon siguro mas mahaba na ang decision-making. Tsaka mas importante na rin sakin ang relationships ‘yung mga ganung bagay,” he said.

King of his charity

Daniel has gained a different perspective now being 21. While he’s no longer in his teens, he’s still definitely a king in some aspects.

Three years ago, Daniel chose non-profit organization Childhaus to be his beneficiary. In keeping true to his character, Daniel did not broadcast about what he did but he continued to support the adults and children who are recovering from cancer to have a temporary home. According to a Childhaus representative, Daniel has spearheaded a number of fund-raising events for them and has made sure to drop by and really spend time with the patients that are under their care.

“’Yung mga pagtulong niya, siyempre yung alam naman natin na super sikat sya so ‘yung isa sa naka ano talaga, aside sa mga financial niyang support is ‘yung through sa mga fund-raising activity nila, siyempre nadudugtungan ang buhay ng mga bata at ng mga patients,” a Childhaus representative said.

Box Office Teen King

With his third film with Teen Queen Kathryn Bernardo happening soon, many are expecting the tandem to break their own box office record of P296 million for She’s Dating the Gangster and P300 million (plus $2 million from international screenings) for Crazy Beautiful You. A good reason why fans and KathNiel are likely to beat their own record, aside from their strong following, is the fact that top caliber director Olivia “Inang” Lamasan will be helming it.

Fan's Gentleman King Family's Supportive and Loving King

Family’s Supportive and Loving King On top of his astig image, which many associate with him due to his Padilla blood, Daniel’s younger sisters Magui and Lelay are very vocal about their Kuya gets all mushy when it comes to family. In fact, Daniel even said: “Ang

gusto ko talaga ‘yung kapag tapos na ‘yung mga trabaho ko gusto ko aalis kami. ‘Yung magkaksama kaming lahat. Importante ‘yun. Ang bilis ng panahon. Magugulat ka nalang ‘yung mga kapatid mo mga dalaga na.” He continues, “Minsan nakakalungkot na parang nahihiya na sila [kapatid] sa yo ‘yung ganun. Kasi nakikita ko minsan ‘yung mga ganon sa kapatid ko. Eh ayoko namang maging iba sila. Siyempre kapatid ko ‘yung mga ‘yun. ‘Yung panahon sa pamilya, kelangan yun.

While there are those who might take utter joy from being mobbed by fans, Daniel takes pleasure over the fact that none of his supporters— during his events—are harmed, pushed or elbowed. His personal marshal Robert Azarraga shared that Daniel was particular about how he should treat his female fans.

“Tol ganito gawin mo ah, ‘yung fans natin hayaan mo munang lumapit kasi konti lang naman sila. Kapag nag-wild tsaka mo na sila control-in. Pero more or less ‘wag mo silang itulak kasi mga babae sila eh, sila ang nagdala sakin dito. Sila rin ‘yung mamahalin ko talaga,” Robert revealed.

King of Handling Bashers

As one of the most popular Kapamilya stars, Daniel is well aware of his bashers and those who are continuously questioning everything he does. However, despite all the flak and criticisms that have been thrown his way, Daniel has remained calm and quiet. If anything, he also tries to police his own fans to plants seeds of friendship instead of dwelling on the negative.

”I think lahat nasa inggit, ang pang babash lahat ‘yan nasa inggit diba. And kasama na sa fame ng pagiging artista ‘yun kung pano mo ihahandle kasi wala eh, mahuhulma ka rin naman nya na mas maging mabuting tao alam mo yun na hindi mo nalang pansinin kasi wala namang ikakabuti kung pinansin mo pa di ba,” he explained. “Ako kasi hindi naman ako naawa sa sarili ko na tinitira nila ko ng ganun. Parang mas naaawa nalang ako sa kanila kasi ‘di nyo naman kelangan gawin ‘to eh. pwede naman tayong ok nalang lahat eh diba? Ang sarap kaya,” Daniel ended.

CLARIFIES ‘MAGKA-ANAK’ JOKE ON ‘HIMIG HANDOG’ Days after his shocking remark during the Himig Handog award’s night, Daniel Padilla clarified that he was not serious about what he said. The special performer of this year’s Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs Finals Night on Sunday was asked by host Robi Domingo to finish the sentence: “Ngayong 21 nako pwede nakong mag…” To which the Teen King replied with “Mag-anak.” That response shocked the crowd, which led to a loud guffaw. Teen Queen Kathryn Bernardo who was also a host during Himig Handog and was with Daniel during the interview said, “Joke lang ‘yun!” Daniel for his part explained, “Gusto ko lang makuha ang mga tao na nanoood ng ibang sagot. Kasi nakakasawa rin. So bigyan natin sila na ikaka-shock nila.” But he added, “Pero gusto kong mag-anak pero hindi pa ngayon.” Kathryn, as well as ABS-CBN bosses, friends, and Daniel’s family were gathered on Tuesday, on the actual day of his 21st birthday, for a surprise party organized by DJ’s mom Karla Estrada. Kathryn pulled off a surprise birthday party for him just moments after 12 midnight on April 26.

But it was Kathryn who was Karla’s accomplice in getting Daniel to go to the surprise venue of his Golden State Warriors-inspired party. “Actually mahirap kasi nga diba sinurprise namin siya yesterday, baka kapag ngayon halata na. Pero buti nag-work siya. Sinabi ko lang, ‘Bal since yesterday with friends ngayon dinner na lang tayo, private dinner. Trip ko lang,’” Kathryn shared. She continued, “Sabi ko pa ‘Wag kang iiyak ha!’ Ganon pako. Tapos pinilit ko siyang isuot ang blindfold kasi ‘yun ang bilin sakin kasi daw may makikita siya. Ang importante andito ‘yung mga importanteng tao.” Asked what her birthday wish was for her rumored boyfriend, she said. “Marami kapag para sa kanya siguro kulang ang isang papel. Pero ang number one siguro parati siyang masaya sa ginagawa niya. Iba kasi kapag pure happiness eh. Alam mo si DJ kapag masaya siya sa ginagawa niya or napipilitan siya. Basta sana ganon, gusto ko happy lang siya.” Kathryn and Daniel are set to fly to Spain soon to start filming their newest film. In fact, the movie’s crew composed of director Olivia Lamasan and screenwriter Carmi Raymundo already flew out this weekend. CLICK HERE

Ano pa ba ang ibang birthday wish niya bukod sa makapagpahinga?

Happy Monthsary JaDine! CLICK HERE

“Ah... happiness for my family, successful world tour, yon lang,” nakangiti niyang pahayag. Thirteen shows in 13 cities ang gagawin nila sa Amerika in one month, pero meron din daw naman silang pahinga in between. “Don sa 13 shows may free time naman. I’ll have free time in San Diego, free time in New York. Actually, yung sa New York nag-extend kami (ni Nadine), 3 or 4 days, baka mag-watch kami ng Broadway shows,” excited niyang kuwento. Thankful naman si James na patuloy na tinatangkilik ng fans ang This Time nila ni Nadine. “Sobrang saya, actually yon yung unang wish ko, for the success of This Time. I’m really happy. Very, very happy. “I’d like to say thank you also sa organizers ng block screenings, 70 plus na.” Pagbalik ni James sa bansa ay aasikasuhin naman niya ang paglipat sa nabiling bahay sa Loyola Grand Villas na may seven bedrooms. “When I returned from the States sa ako lilipat, baka June or July. Yeah, my own house. Me, my brothers, my sisters, my dad will be there.” May konti lang daw siyang ipinaayos sa bahay bago lipatan. “I extended the pool, putting in aircon units, so hot, eh. Kailangan ko lang ng pool, yung pool talaga importantet sa akin. Matatapos na yon before I get back. “I was thinking about (buying) a sports car sana, an Audi R8, and I thought, it’s so selfish, it’s only for me. Because my brother, my sister they share a room, so I got a bigger house para mas comfortable sila. “I can buy pa naman may Audi car later or one day,” pagtatapat niya. Ayaw namang banggit sa Push.com.ph ni James kung magkano niya nabili ang 7-bedroom house sa LGV. Natawa lang siya nang tanungin namin tungkol dito. Samantala, bago ang kanyang kaarawan ay pinasaya muna ni James ang mga bata sa Asociacion De Damas De Filipinas, isang charitable orphage para sa mga bata. “My friend from G-force came with me and we danced with the kids, gave them gifts, ice cream, bags. Sila yung mga kids na iniwan ng parents nila, abandoned kids. I like children kasi.” Eh, bakit nga ba love na love niya ang mga bata?

“I had a nice upbringing, I had a very nice childhood, going to the beach, our family is rich, so I like to... for other kids to experience the same,” sabi pa niya.

PUSHPINS KARLA ESTRADA BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN IN HER HIGHNESS:

fter conquering the KIA Theater with her first concert titled Her Highness: The Queen Mother In Concert on Saturday, actress Karla Estrada is reviving her singing career for good. In an exclusive interview with Push.com.ph, Karla confirmed that her fans can expect to hear more from her soon. “Yes may papalabas akong album. Siguro this coming third week of May. Basta May, so abangan nalang nila,” she said without adding

any more details about it. It may be recalled that last February, Karla took to her Instagram account to announce that she is almost done recording for her album. The Queen Mother first revealed of her plan to release an album mid last year, after her

stint on Your Face Sounds Familiar. What many do not know is that her upcoming album would not be her first one as she has already released a self-titled album and a single titled “Lean on Me” in the past. Meanwhile, Karla, was very grateful over her successful concert. Among the guests were her Your Face Sounds Familiar family, Tutti Caringal, Nyoy Volante, Jay-r, and EA Guzman. Her Magandang Buhay co-momshies Jolina Magdangal and Melai Cantiveros were also there. Even the Tawag ng Tanghalan contenders Gidget Dela Llana and Maricel Callo also offered a song. But the guest who stood out that night was one of Karla’s best friends, comedian Vice Ganda, with whom she had a long and no-holds-barred banter onstage.

Mostly though, Karla showcased that she really still has it as a singer when she belted songs from Queens like Madonna, Adele, and Beyonce. She also sang jukebox song hits like “Pag-ibig na Walang Dangal,” “Tukso,” “Kung Liligaya Ka” and “Luha.” Karla also retraced her musical roots as a band member by performing their favorite hits. But the ones that really blew the crowd away was her rendition of “Kung Kailangan Mo Ako,” a song she dedicated to her kids Daniel, JC, Carmella and Magui, who all came onstage during the number. Her closing song “The Greatest Performance of my Life” fairly summed up how she hopes to be remembered by the ones who came to the venue especially when she said, “Hindi na baleng hindi na ito [concert] maulit, ang mahalaga eh natupad.” Aside from her son’s rumored girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo and her mother Min Bernardo, also present in the audience were Bailey May and his father Matthew, Diego Loyzaga, as well as the Padilla clan led by her ex-partner Rommel Padilla, BB Gandanghari, their mother Eva Cariño and Robin Padilla’s wife Mariel Rodriguez.

Feeling ko parang I give kasi may heart and soul 101 percent and siyempre iniingatan ko ‘yung relationships dito sa industry and above all I never forget my purpose which is to give hope and inspiration sa mga trabaho kong ganyan eh. Always be humbe lang, allow yourself to be guided,” he said. Jericho’s son Santino has been earning followers online recently. The actor was asked if whether or not he will allow his son to enter showbiz. He responded, “Susuportahan ko siya kung ano ang kanyang gagawin pero I am 100 percent sure kasi lagi kaming nag-uusap na sports ang gusto niya. Okay siya mag-commercials pag may dumating na pagkakataon pero to parang to give priority sa showbiz or I mean to think about it wala siyang time eh. School five days a week and then ang training niya four to five times a week also. Even on Sundays nasa training siya.”

WHAT MAKES SHARON THE â&#x20AC;&#x153;COOLESTâ&#x20AC;? MOM? Sharon Cuneta is one icon, the one and only Megastar, ever eminent in Philippine entertainment. She is beloved, admired, and acclaimed to have brought a long-lasting impact on the industry and the craft it brings, with her blockbuster movies, top rating TV shows, platinum hit songs, and sell-out concerts. Yet less is known about how Sharon is as a mother, especially during those times she took care and reared a young KC Concepcion on her own. When Sharon gave birth to KC at 19, she had the choice to leave her

KC CONCEPCIONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SPECIAL MESSAGE TO SHARON CUNETA ON MOTHERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DAY Aside from her greeting Sharon Cuneta on ASAP, KC Concepcion also posted a very special 3-part Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day message for her mom. KC uploaded three heart-warming photos of her and the Megastar, each with a touching caption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy happy Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day to my mother, the Queen Bee! đ&#x;&#x2018;&#x2018; Such a character & a whole lot of fun... I love sharing girly things & laughing with my mama!!! Thank you for adding so much color to all our lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pray that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to bring you more joy as your daughter, than I ever have, from here on out.đ&#x;Ś&#x201E;đ&#x;&#x2019;&#x2013; I will be the one here for you to catch you if you fall. ILY more than you will ever know,â&#x20AC;? she said in her first post.

SHARON CUNETA SHARES REASON WHY SHE STOPPED USING SOCIAL MEDIA Sharon Cuneta revealed that she is now avoiding social media. The Megastar was formerly active on various online platforms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read na, parang sabi ko naka-survive ako ng dalawang dekada na wala naman â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yang social media, sumikat naman ako.â&#x20AC;? She continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bakit ba ako nagsisiksik ng social media, huwag na lang. Facebook I enjoy but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really posted anything in a few months now.â&#x20AC;? Sharon said that she is not used to being bashed thus she decided to stay away from the online world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hindi ako sanay na binabastos ako. So hindi na, okay na ako ngayon, kalmado na ako ulit.â&#x20AC;? On the other hand, when asked by the press as to her reaction whenever her daughter KC is bashed because of her weight, Sharon responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does she get bashed because of her weight? I feel sometimes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too thin. Siguro iba kasi ang bone structure naming dalawa. Si KC she got her papaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built, she was a swimmer, so siguro payat na payat siya in person na nakikita niyo naman, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, sobra naman ayoko namang magmukhang patpat na buto â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yung anak ko.â&#x20AC;? She added that bashers will always have the guts to bash celebrities because they hide behind their online personality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will always be bashers and there will always be kasi you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who they are so siyempre matapang sila eh tayo sanay tayo sa harapan,â&#x20AC;? she commented.

SHARON CUNETA APPROVES OF ALY BORROMEO FOR DAUGHTER KC: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;HEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S A REALLY GOOD GUYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

After signing a new two-year contract with ABS-CBN, Sharon Cuneta said she looks forward to meeting and coaching the young talents who will join The Voice Kids this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Siyempre Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy. You know I love kids ever since naman kahit hindi ko anak na-so-spoil ko. So yun ang magiging mahirap na naman dito sa The Voice Kids kasi alam ko lahat ng pumapasok dito talented eh. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to be really fair and let the best singer win. Ganun naman. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean hindi magaling yung iba. Meron lang nakaaangat ng konti,â&#x20AC;? she shared during her contract signing held last May 5 inside the ABS-CBN compound. With her eldest daughter KC Concepcion having turned 31 last month, Sharon admitted she already wants KC to give her grandkids already. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want her to (get married). Pero siyempre it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t depend on me. Actually I want grandchildren eh. Kasi I will steal them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll kidnap them. Lahat ng anak ko mula kay KC hanggang kay Frankie at Miel, pag nagkaanak sila pagdating ng araw hindi na nila makikita yung mga anak nila kasi nasa akin na lahat. Bibili ako ng castle na kailangan nila hanapin (laughs),â&#x20AC;? she joked. With KC recently admitting she is currently dating former Azkals team captain Aly Borromeo, the 50-year-old mother of four admitted that she approves of him already after getting to know him more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oo naman matagal na (pinakilala). You know, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good guy. Parang you better ask KC na lang. Ito namang si Kristina, lahat naman anak ng dinate mo binoboto ko tapos wala namang nangyari. At least ito namang si Aly, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put it this way, if this was 20 years ago then a man like Aly came into my life and took care of me, yun ang sasagutin ko siguro. Maiba naman di ba? (laughs),â&#x20AC;? she shared. With KC previously being linked to Kapamilya stars like Paulo Avelino and Piolo Pascual, Sharon clarified that her statements about Aly should not be taken as being connected to or as a comparison to her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to put down anybody. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just saying napakabait na bata. At saka very respectful towards us and I see how he treats KC. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting to know each other. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy,â&#x20AC;? she said. As for Zsa Zsa padillaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent breakup with fiance Conrad Onglao, Sharon said she does not want to interfere with what happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kahapon ko lang nalaman. It was also what Karylle said, yun lang alam ko. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to text either of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not spoken to her and I think when a person is going through something like that, I think you must give her time. Ang dami yung tinatawag nilang epal, yung mapapel. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not like that eh. Kasi Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a good friend of her and she knows Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here for her so I know that at the right time sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to probably reach out to me or I will reach out to her when I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right time. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the type to get into anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business lalo relationship, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my place,â&#x20AC;? she explained. Even though she was the one who introduced the couple to each other, Sharon said there are no regrets on her part even after what happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least I think they had good times together,â&#x20AC;? she added.

ANDREA BRILLANTES DREAMS OF BECOMING ‘DARBEL’

DANIEL PADILLA AND KATHRYN BERNARDO TALK ABOUT THEIR NEW MOVIE Set to start shooting in Barcelona, Spain in June under Star Cinema, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo admitted they are excited to play more mature roles in their latest project. “Pasok ito sa edad namin. Hindi pilit na masyadong matanda or masyadong bata. Pasok na pasok kaya nga sabi ko okay ito. Matured talaga pero hindi naman masyadong matanda. Sakto na sami amin. Pasok na pasok sa edad namin na puwede ng gawin ng normal na bata kagaya namin,” DJ shared after the story conference for their still untitled project held last May 11 inside ABS-CBN. Kathryn admitted that their film’s interesting storyline is something she is most excited about. “Yung story, kung anong ma-o-offer kasi technically ngayon na may mga nalaman kami, binigyan kami ng initial script and after reading it parang ma-e-excite ka kasi gumawa ng isang project kung maganda yung project and yugn mga makakasama mo. And yung quality na mapapanuod ng mga tao. Ang ganda ng pagkakasulat nila Ate Carmi (Raymundo) nga kaya ang balanced. Siyempre andiyan yung kilig, yung love story, ganyan. Aside from that ang dami pa. Ang daming theme ng story dito. Ibang kilig siguro kasi ito,” she admitted. Although the couple did not give specific plot details, they said the movie is based on the lives of Pinoys living abroad. “Hindi mahihirapan yung tao na i-reach yung movie. Mas madami kaming taong ma-ta-touch dito sa movie na ito. Yung story namin is inspired or galing sa stories ng mga buhay ng

nagtratrabaho sa Barcelona ngayon hindi before. Dahil iba yung buhay ng Filipino dun before 20 years ago at saka ngayon so kailangan natin malaman yun and maganda siya dahil siyempre kababayan natin yung mga nandun. Maganda ang story ng mga Filipino dun,” DJ said. Kathryn also added some details about their roles as typical millennials in the story. “Kasi yung mga kabataan ngayon parang pag may problema, kaming mga millennials ngayon ginagawa natin siyang escape or parang gusto mong magbagong buhay so saan yun? Usually magpunta sa ibang bansa para makasimula ng bago. So isa yun sa mga rason sa character ko (na pumunta sa Spain),” Kathryn added. Although they have traveled abroad together to Singapore (Got to Believe) and Bhutan (Princess and I), it’s their first time to shoot a movie abroad together. They’re both looking forward to shooting in Europe. “First time (namin). Excited kami dahil pupunta pa kami dun for a movie. Bago pa nga matapos yung usapan namin sabi ko, ‘Tara na, punta na tayo ngayon,’” DJ said.

In an interview with bloggers for the launching of her YouTube channel, 13-year-old Andrea Brillantes revealed that she prefers to do dramatic roles rather playing teeny-bopper characters. “Mas gusto ko ‘yung dramatic. Para sa akin, parang mas lumalabas ‘yung galing dun,” she said. However, Andrea also noted that she also likes romantic-comedies but would like them to have a dramatic twist. When asked about her dream roles, Andrea, who dreams of portraying the iconic roles of Philippine heroine Darna and mermaid Dyesebel, cheerfully coined the term, “Darbel.” “Darna sa gabi, Dyesebel sa umaga. Si Darbel… Gagawin ko ‘yun, iisipin ko ‘yun paglaki ko talaga, promise,” she said, aware that she cannot do these roles yet. Moreover, she shared the other dream roles she wants to do. “Gusto ko ‘yung may sakit, ‘yung may kapansanan at saka gusto ko silang mabigyan ng justice. Tapos gusto ko superhero, bampira, mga rebelde, mga gano’n. Mga action star, gusto ko maging Angelina Jolie, Angel Locsin, mga gano’n kunwari.” Talking about the celebrities that she wants to work with, Andrea answered international music icon Beyonce and reality star Kylie Jenner, who she also revealed as her personal icons. When asked if she wants to go to Hollywood, she answered yes right away, admitting that she wants to be like Beyonce. “Yeah (gusto ko rin kumanta at sumayaw like Beyonce) kaya lang parang hindi sa akin ibinigay. Dance na lang ako, magwowork na lang ako doon sa singing kasi lahat naman dito sa mundong ito napag-aaralan,” she said.

EXCLUSIVE: WHEN DOES BEAUTY GONZALEZ PLAN TO RETURN TO SHOWBIZ?

CLICK TO WATCH CELEBRITIES DO THE RUNNING MAN CHALLENGE

After giving birth to her daughter with nonshowbiz boyfriend Norman Crisologo last February 2016, Beauty Gonzalez said that she is enjoying motherhood and that it has been a learning experience for her since she became a parent. “Ang dami kong natutunan about myself and about my baby and it’s a learning process. I’m happy that I got a chance to grow old with her and we learn from each other,” she said in an interview with Push.com.ph. Besides being a parent, Beauty is also dedicating her time to traveling with her family. “Life is great, peaceful, as in quiet. I enjoy every moment of it kasi I was a bit busy, we were traveling.” After taking a hiatus since she got pregnant last year, Beauty admitted that she does miss showbiz. “Na-miss ko ‘yung drama ‘yung mabilisan, ‘yung ganyan-gayan ‘5 minutes na lang’. I miss acting kasi ito naman ‘yung ginagawa ko for the past six years, ilang taon na ako sa showbiz,” she said. When is she planning to go back to showbiz? “If there’s a project na maganda and if I’m ready physically kasi I’m not ready pa naman physically. I need to lose weight muna kasi siyempre I owe the people, I owe them na maganda ako tingnan. Hindi

‘yung lalabas na ako pero mukha pa akong hindi ready.” Beauty was also asked about her secret to being “a hot momma” as what the netizens call her. “[It’s just about] having a happy relationship, taking care of yourself,” she responded.

The viral ‘Running Man’ challenge all the way from the US already reached the Philippines. Several local celebrities grooved to the 90s hit “My Boo” by the hip-hop group Ghost Town DJ. In case you’ve been wondering, the Running Man Challenge started in New Jersey. According to Mashable, Four months ago, high school students Kevin Vincent and Jeremiah Hall started posting Instagram videos of themselves dancing to “My Boo.” Here are some of the celebrities who took on the challenge.

ALLEN DIZON ON LOVE SCENE WITH WENDELL RAMOS: ‘OKEY LANG, KAIBIGAN KO NAMAN YON’

JOHN LLOYD CRUZ ON ANGELICA PANGANIBAN: ‘HINDI NAMAN IMPOSIBLENG MAGING MAGKAIBIGAN KAMI’ As his Star Cinema film Just the 3 Of Us continues to make it big in the box office, John Lloyd Cruz admitted he is just too busy to focus on dating right now. “Hindi pa eh. Marami pang trabaho. I’m really taking my time kasi medyo may edad na rin tayo hindi na tayo puwedeng pa-date date lang. I’d rather be working than dating,” he said during his launch as the new Great Taste Coffee endorser last May 11 at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Ortigas. The Kapamilya heartthrob was reluctant to share details with the press when he admitted that he and ex-flame Angelica Panganiban had been exchanging text messages. “Kasi alam ko na naman yung gagawin niyo dito eh. Parang pag pinag-uusapan na we’re in communication parang iba na naman yung ma-dedevelop na kuwento eh. Di ba alam naman nating lahat yun. Kumbaga parang it’s normal. All but normal. Sana huwag mabigyan ng kulay or huwag mabigyan ng ibang ibig sabihin because dalawang tao kaming may pinagsamahan and hindi naman imposibleng maging magkaibigan kami,” he admits. Apart from helping promote his movie on her social media account, the Great Taste Coffee endorser admitted he and Angelica are on good terms despite the breakup. “Oo nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya (for helping promote the movie). Ganun naman siya ever since eh. And like I said we’re friends so parang ang friends naman nagbibigay ng suporta sa isa’t isa,” he said. The 32-yearold actor shared what he thinks will make their friendship work. “Paano ba, openness sa communication? Yun lang naman yung mga puwede mong ibigay para magfunction yung friendship di ba?” he added.

With Angelica’s “hugot” lines on Banana Sundae becoming more and more popular, Lloydy does not want to comment if it was meant to be about him. “Naku, ano yun eh, it’s a gag comedy show so parang it wouldn’t be too great kung isipin ko para sa akin yun. Kasi parang not everything is about you John Lloyd (laughs). Di ba? Napaka-arogante naman kung iisipin ko na lahat yung mga yun ay patama sa akin. Sa kaso namin alam namin yung totoo. Alam ko yung totoo and I think that’s more than enough para hindi ko isipin yung mga ganung bagay,” he explained. Apart from having another movie lined up later this year, Lloydy said work is now his top priority. “Hindi pa naman ako ganun katanda so I have enough time. But right now I’m enjoying this. I have more time for myself, more time to actually exercise kung ano yung mga bagay na interesado ako about. Kung may dumating, bakit hindi di ba? But for now, okay muna ako dito. Parang hindi naman yata hinahanap yun (marriage). Ganun din, parang no one is ever ready pag ganun eh so I guess when it happens, it just happens,” he said.

EXCLUSIVE: JERICHO ROSALES IS ASIA’S PRINCE OF DRAMAS, ‘BRIDGES OF LOVE’ A BIG HIT IN PERU Sa ulat ni MJ Felipe para sa Bandila, binabansagan ngayong Asia’s Prince of Dramas si Jericho Rosales dahil sa patok ang kanyang mga teleserye sa international market. Big hit ang Bridges of Love sa Peru na pinamagatan nilang Puentes de Amor. Ito diumano ang kauna-unahang teleserye na pinalabas sa Peruvian television at pumatok sa Latin-American market. Ang Legal Wife naman ay patok din sa Africa at Balkan region. Ang Dating May Isang Ikaw, na may international title na Destined Hearts ay ipapalabas na sa Colombia. Ang original Pangako Sa’Yo, ang kaunaunahang Filipino drama ay ginawan ng remake sa Cambodia noong 2013, at nakakasa na rin ngayong taon ang remake nito sa Mexico. Ani Jericho, “it’s nice to be part of projects like that na may global appeal.” Dagdag pa niya, “this thing right now that is happening for us, it’s opening doors for us, for maraming actors dito sa Philippines ‘di ba…” Malapit na rin umere ang latest teleserye ni Jericho, ang epic drama na may pamagat na Never Ever Say Goodbye. Pagbibidahan ito ni Jericho kasama si Arci Munoz.

Nakakaramdam din pala ng discomfort kapag may ginagawang pelikula o TV project si Allen Dizon dahil sa pagiging multi-awarded actor niya. Ayon sa aktor, ramdam niya ang malaking expectations sa kanya ng co-actors pati na ang director na nakakatrabaho niya dahil sa mga acting awards na nakuha niya local man or international. “Kaya kapag nagsu-shoot ako ng bagong pelikula, o nagtitaping, sasabihin nila, ‘Uy, si Best Actor.’ Hindi ba, parang... sabi ko nga, baka masyadong mataas ang expectations niyo sa akin? ‘Baka lahat ng ginagawa ko, akala ko niyo ay laging napakagaling ko, di ba? “So sinasabi ko sa kanila, ako napa-timing lang yung pelikula, masuwerte lang ako ako sa role at nagawa ko nang maayos, pero di ibig sabihin non ay lahat ng gagawin ko ay pang-best actor na lahat. “Siyempre, may mga weakness din ako. May mga role din na nahihirapan ako, hindi lahat ay challenging. “Hindi ibig sabihin nun, lahat ay magaling ka na, di ba? May mga kailangan pa rin akong i-improve as an actor,” deklara ng aktor sa Push.com.ph na huling nakatanggap ng international best actor award sa 4th Silk Road International Film Festival para sa pelikulang Iadya Mo Kami ng BG Productions. Muli na namang sasabak sa isang indie film si Allen kasama ang actor na si Wendell Ramos. Ayon sa kuwento sa amin ni Allen during the blessing of BG Productions office sa Lee Gardens (Mandaluyong) owned by Baby Go, matagal nang inoffer sa kanya ni Direk Mel Chionglo ang isang gay-themed movie titled Saddiq (Sadik). Ang Sadik ay isang Arab word na ang kahulugan ay “kaibigan.” “Ten years ago pa niyang (Direk Mel) inalok sa akin yung movie. Ilang beses ko na rin itong tinanggihan. Hindi pa kasi ako gumanap ng role na bading kaya para sa akin ito yung pinaka-challenging na pelikulang gagawin ko,” kuwento niya. May isyu ba siya sa mga bading kaya ayaw niya ng gay role? “Wala. Wala akong masamang pananaw sa mga bading. Masaya silang kasama, makuwento, kwela, talented. “Wala akong ano... kasi, mga tao ‘yan, e. Kumbaga, wala naman silang ginagawang masama sa akin.” May mga nanligaw na bang bading sa kanya noon? “Marami namang ganyan. Siyempre, sa hitsura kong ito? Hahaha! ‘Normal naman yun. Naging kaibigan ko naman sila. “Minsan lang, may mga bading na garapal, may bastos, pero di naman kasi maiiwasan ‘yan. Pero ako, kasi normal na sa kanila ‘yan, mabait naman akong tao kaya mabait din ako sa kanila. “Huwag lang yung binabastos ako, hinahawakan yung ano ko, ibang usapan yun, di ba?” sabi pa niya. Handa na ba siyang makipag-love scene kay Wendell at magkaroon ng kissing scene? “Okay lang, si Wendell naman yun, kaibigan ko naman yon. Siguro, pag-uusapan na lang namin yun. Kami na ang bahalang mag-usap,” natatawa niyang pahayag.

NORA AUNOR BEGS HER CHILDREN TO VISIT THEIR AILING UNCLE Despite being proud of her son Ian de Leon’s recent heroic deed, veteran star Nora Aunor was not able to keep griping about the fact that her children have yet to visit their uncle. Nora, in an interview during her return to ABS-CBN for her Maalaala Mo Kaya episode, said that she is very proud that the public was able to see an unknown side of her son. However, she lamented that there are incidents outside of her son’s heroic act that personally affect her. “Hindi ko kinakalaban ang anak ko. May mga pangyayari lang din na bukod doon sa saya na naramdaman ko, na nakapagligtas siya ng buhay ng isang tao, sobrang kasiyahan ko yun,” she began. “May mga insidente lang na gusto ko na ring ipabatid sa anak ko, na yung kanilang tito, si Uncle Buboy [nila] ay nasa ospital,” she continued. Her brother Buboy is a former ‘70s star who has been at the FEU Hospital since July last year. “Ang nais ko lang, dahil inalagaan sila ng uncle nila, huwag din naman sana nilang kalimutan. ‘Yun lang ang gusto kong ipaabot sa kanila,” Nora said. The 62-year-old actress added that she hopes that they could spare some time for him.

SUNSHINE CRUZ SAYS HER DAUGHTERS DREAM OF BECOMING BEAUTY QUEENS

RUFA MAE QUINTO REVEALS MEMBERS OF WEDDING ENTOURAGE Rufa Mae Quinto is very excited about her upcoming wedding here in Manila this coming November. For the first time since news of her engagement went public, Rufa Mae shared during a conference for candidate Mar Roxas, that her wedding entourage would be composed of a number of her celebrity friends. “‘Yung sa kanya puro taga Amerika. ‘Yung sakin from the Philippines. Si Ai Ai delas Alas, Aiko Melendez, Joyce Jimenez, LJ Moreno, Wendy Tabusalla, ‘yung ilan kong nakausap,” she shared. The wedding is scheduled on November in Ortigas because it falls on the same month as her fiancé Trevor Magallanes’ birthday. According to the sexy comedienne, the plan is to stay here in the country after tying the knot. “Tuloy parin naman siyempre showbiz na ‘ko eh,” she said when asked if she would continue with her showbiz career. While she could have held the wedding in the US, where she and Trevor met, Rufa Mae clarified that she wanted to involve the people who have been with her through the years. “Kaya nga dito ko gagawin para ma-involve ko ang lahat eh kasi ito ang buhay ko eh bakit i-se-secret. Tsaka masaya na makita nila ako na maligayang maligaya na talaga, na lalagay na sa tahimik talaga kasi nasaksihan nila ang ups and downs,” she said. Are there plans to have a child immediately after the wedding? “Hindi naman sobrang nagmamadali pero mga after one or two years ganyan. Hindi naman agad-agad kasi

ayaw ko rin naman i-pressure namin ang sarili namin,” she explained. Meanwhile, Rufa Mae admitted that what she and Trevor had in the US early this year could be considered as a “whirlwind romance.” “Oo totoo pala ‘yun. Nagkakilala kami January 2 tapos naging kami after a week, January 9. Tapos after nun February 9 engaged na kami, nag-engagement party na tapos ikakasal na. Hindi naman minadali ang kasal pero natagpuan na and nagkaintindihan agad. Wala ng usap-usap masyado. Alam mo kapag mahal ka ng lalaki bibigay niya sayo ang pamilya eh kaya binigay niya na.” she related. But she was quick to clarify that they met at a right time when “Siguro tamang ready na rin ako mismo as myself, as a woman.” “Siguro before, bukod sa hindi kami destiny, ay siguro hindi pa ‘yun ang time na ready ako, ready ang lahat. Siguro totoo nga ang destiny and at the same time you should know what you really want,” she said adding that there is also love the desire to “make things right.”

EXCLUSIVE: IZA CALZADO REVEALS SHE HAS BREAST EXPOSURE IN HER NEXT MOVIE Wholesome na may temang pulitika ang latest movie ni Iza Calzado kasama sina Shaina Madayao at Derek Ramsay na My Candidate na showing on May 11. Pero hindi na ganu’n ka-wholesome ang susunod niyang movie project under the direction of Jerrold Tarog of the Heneral Luna fame. Kahit psychothriller ang pelikula, pumayag si Iza na magkaroon ng breast exposure dito. “Makikita niyo na lang. Some parts. Actually, it’s more sensual than sexy. Pero ano kasi siya, eh, marami talaga siyang nudity but not just for me, sa isang alaga rin ng manager ko (Noel Ferrer), si Adrian Vergara.” Ano ang ginagawa niyang paghahanda sa breast exposure scene niya? “Kailangan ba ng preparation? Di na kailangan. Ready na tayo,” sagot niya. So, tanggal nang tanggal na lang ng damit? “Hindi naman. Basta bahala na si Batman,” sabi ulit ni Iza. “I think I’m a bit of a risk-taker. Para sa akin, work is work. As long as the role is kind of fun or challenging, I’m going to accept it. It doesn’t matter,” katwiran niya. Eh, ano naman ang reaksyon ng BF niya sa bagong role na gagawin? “I don’t know, he’s very cool, he’s very dedma even his parents, I’ve already told them,” matipid niyang

reaksyon. Samantala, may bago ring teleseryeng gagawin si Iza sa ABS-CBN with Bea Alonzo. “Sobrang excited ko to work with Bea kasi ang tagal na naming gustong magkatrabaho talaga. And this is the perfect project. Ang ganda nung story. And I believe it’s Ma’m Charo (Santos) project, so talagang I’m so honored to be part of the soap,” kuwento pa niya. Wala ba siyang naka-line-up na movie under Star Cinema? “Wag muna, hindi ko muna siguro kaya pa. Tapusin ko muna yung kay Jerrold kasi very demanding yung psycho thriller film na yon.” Eh, ang kasal nila ng boyfriend, nakaplano na ba? “Wala pang plans. And so may people are getting married this year so parang... wala na silang budget para pambilig regalo sa amin. Definitely, not this year,” pagtatapos ni Iza.

While actress Sunshine Cruz refused to further talk about estranged husband Cesar Montano as they already have a court gag order, she hoped that he will just be happy for their kids as they are doing well with her. The proud mother of Angelina, Sam, and Chesca said that three girls are performing well in school and that they dream of becoming beauty queens someday. Recalling that Sunshine, herself, joined a beauty pageant before, she told PUSH.com.ph, “That was year ‘99 or 2000, hindi ko lang alam ‘yung exact year but parang someone was dethroned and then I was being considered to represent our country. But, unfortunately, that time I was very busy with movies and of course, malilipat ‘yung management sa Binibining Pilipinas Charities. Of course, hindi naman gugustuhin ‘yan ng aking manager because I was earning well naman that time.” She added, “Kaya sayang, sayang ‘yung opportunity but I understand and maybe it’s really not for me. Baka isa sa mga anak ko kasi dream nila talaga maging beauty queen. Sabi ko nga ngayon, they just have to to study well para naman hindi tayo pumalakda sa question and answer portion.” When asked if she is urging them to join the beauty contest, Sunshine said, “It’s actually not me. It’s themselves talaga. Parang gusto lang talaga nila and they would always tell me na, ‘Mom, I want to be a beauty queen soon.’ Pero sabi ko nga, ‘Whatever you want in life, I will always support you. But you have to just finish your studies kasi puro honor students,” sharing that her kids are second and third honors in their respective classes. Meanwhile, the Dolce Amore actress, for her part, shared that she is taking up BA Psychology at Arellano University. Currently in her first year, Sunshine shared how the program will go, “Kung mabilis bilis kong masasagutan ‘yung mga modules at mga exams ng maayos, I could finish it in a year, a year or two.” However, she added, “But kasi sa sobrang busy ngayon, medyo mahihirapan ako so I think more or less, baka mga two years kong matatapos ito pero ang importante makakuha tayo ng diploma.” Sunshine said that she has long been wanting to return to school ever since she took a hiatus from show business. “But unfortunately, mayroon mga bagay na hindi matuloy kasi may mga hindi pumapayag or… Dapat kasi support ‘pag ganyan so I’m just so happy that the kids are supporting me right now.” Sharing what she envisions after she finishes her course, Sunshine said, “I can use it for my kids, of course, to talk to them para di ba, maintindihan ko kung ano ‘yung mga gusto nila at ‘yung mga pinagdadaanan nila. And, I can also use that kasi nasa restaurant business din ako, I’m a chef and sooner or later, I can use that sa mga staff ko. Sabi nga ng mga tao, after this, ‘Why don’t you take up law?’ Sabi ko, my god, baka mamaya 60 years old na ako, hindi ko pa natatapos so kung ano man ang mga magagandang pwede kong paggamitan niya, ‘dun ko siya gagamitin.”

THE BUZZ EXCLUSIVE!!! WHY DID ZSA ZSA PADILLA AND CONRAD ONGLAO BREAK UP? Sources close to Zsa Zsa Padilla and Conrad Onglao reveal they all thought the couple’s relationship was for keeps. This is according to the article written by Ricky Lo in his column today on the Philippine Star. After their engagement last year, the wedding was supposed to take place this June but was postponed to the end of 2016. “They have been planning for it since last year pa,” one of the columnist’s sources divulged. “First, the original schedule was June…that’s next month already, and then they moved it to December this year. And then, the break-up. They were so in love…at least that was how they seemed to me ha…so I’m sad for Zsa Zsa, I’m sad for Conrad. I really thought that they would end happily ever after together. I thought that he has found his ‘forever’.” Zsa Zsa was allegedly the one who broke the engagement off. Sources close to the Divine Diva sympathized with her, saying the breakup was good for the singer. When the two first met, the architect admitted he wasn’t comfortable with show business. In fact, he didn’t even know Zsa Zsa was a singer and an actress. They were introduced to each other by Megastar Sharon Cuneta. “Maybe she got fed up with Conrad’s attitude, especially towards showbiz people whom he looked down on,” one source reportedly said. “Masakit daw magsalita si Conrad. You know naman how sensitive Zsa Zsa is. Nasanay kay Dolphy who was very gentle.” Friends of Conrad commented that the architect is ‘feeling low, very sad’ and was not in the mood to talk about what happened. Zsa Zsa is likewise mum, telling a representative, “We tried but it didn’t work.” The columnist’s sources admitted however that they failed to see if Zsa Zsa was still wearing her engagement ring. “Knowing Zsa Zsa,” the informant said, “I’m sure tinanggal na niya at itinabi kung saan.” Conrad was previously married to Ivy Almario but the marriage was eventually annulled. They had two sons. Zsa Zsa was in a domestic partnership with comedy king Dolphy, who passed away in 2012. She has a daughter from her previous marriage (Karylle) and two more daughters with Dolphy (Zia and Nicole Quizon).

VINA MORALES ON ZSA ZSA PADILLA: ‘SHE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY’ Vina Morales was not able to hide her sadness over news of her friend Zsa Zsa Padilla and fiancé Conrad Onglao’s separation. It was Zsa Zsa’s daughter Karylle who confirmed the news to the media a couple of days ago. Vina, in an interview during the Icon Master Class of Ystilo Salon, shared that being dressing roommates with Zsa Zsa in ASAP for almost 12 years has allowed her to see the Divine Diva in different stages of her life. “I see her cry, I see her laugh. Sobrang in love and ganon. Hindi ko pa siya nakakausap talaga sa mga pangyayarari,” she began. According to Vina, “Ayokong maniwala kasi ayokong maniwala or in denial pa ako kasi mahal na mahal ko siya eh and I always want her to be happy.” While she admitted that she has reached out to Zsa Zsa through text after learning about the news, she was mum as to the possible reason why the engagement was called off. “Nalulungkot ako. Siyempre gusto nating malaman ang katotohanan galing mismo sa kanya. Pwedeng maraming magsabi ng ganito na ito ang rason, ito ang rason eh magkaiba eh. Gusto ko marinig sa kanya mismo,” she stressed. While it seems that Zsa Zsa is not yet ready to talk about the incident, Vina still hopes for the best for her dear friend. “Basta ako whatever her decision, I always pray that sana things will be better because I love her. I want her to be happy and she deserves to be happy and I’ve seen her happy with Conrad that’s why I’m so sad,” she said. Vina, for her part, remains very happy about her love life. In fact, the Born for You actress is very much open about her beau Marc Lambert and their escapades on her Instagram account. “Wala naman, no need kasi. Even if I hide it, what’s the point of hiding it? Aalamin at aalamin din naman ‘yan ng mga tao ‘di ba?” she said. “So it’s better to be open. There’s nothing wrong naman eh. You should be proud that you’re happy,”

she ended. Vina likewise shared that she is set to release a new album and to stage her 30th anniversary concert soon.

Director Antoinette Jadaone is set to direct the upcoming movie of Jodi Sta. Maria, Richard Yap, and Ian Veneracion. Jodi will play the role of Chinggay, a 30-year old loveless lady who will be torn between Richard and Ian’s characters in the movie. According to the movie director, she would helm the movie in such a way that the viewers would feel the same struggle of Chinggay in choosing between the two men in her life. “Basta ‘yung movie ima-make sure nong movie na ipre-present niya ‘yung dalawang lalaki equally para maranasan ng audience ‘yung dilemma ni Chinggay.” She added, “Tsaka hindi siya makapili dahil parehong okay ‘yung dalawang lalaki, pareho ding may limistasyon just like in real life parang perfect ‘yung lalaki pero may something pa rin.” When asked to describe the Ian-Jodi tandem from the Richard-Jodi tandem, she said that there are differences and similarities. “Magkaibang magkaiba sila para sa akin pero may mga similiraties kaya nagwo-work. I think kasi si Jodi parang nire-represent niya ‘yung mga girls na gusto lang ng love, gustong mahalin, gustong magmahal, parang kaya nagwo-work si Jodi with any of them kasi nakaka-relate ‘yung mga babae sa kanya.” The director remarked that the film will be a sweet treat for the moviegoers since Jodi’s two ka-love teams would be part of it. “In general may sariii talagang mga fans na kinikilig individually sa kanila kaya magiging isang bonggang treat sa kanila dahil dalawa ‘yung kakaikiligan,” she said.

DIREK CATHY GARCIAMOLINA ADMITS THERE IS SOMEONE WHO MAKES HER ‘KILIG’

SHAINA MAGDAYAO ON WAITING FOR MR. RIGHT: ‘NATUTO NA AKO NA MAGING HINDI IDEALISTIC’

On Tonight with Boy Abunda, Just The Three of Us director Cathy Garcia Molina explained why the very first scene of John Lloyd Cruz and Jennylyn Mercado in the film was shot without them meeting each other first as actors. She said she wanted to get the raw reaction of John Lloyd because their first scene was about “two strangers meeting,” or more specifically, John Lloyd’s character Uno being confronted by a woman (Jen’s character) saying she’s pregnant. Just The Three of Us is Cathy’s tenth film with John Lloyd and she said that in the film, “I directed him less.” Asked if this is because she sees John Lloyd as a big star, Cathy said, “John Lloyd is not a big star to me. John Lloyd will always remain a friend and a very good actor to me.” Cathy, who is a master of kilig and who is popular for her romantic-comedy films says “ang level of kilig (ko) nagta-transform na, lesser na ang giggly part of kilig.” She explained, “sa tagal at sa dami na ring nagawa kong RomCom, yung puso ko parang meron nang gustong gawing iba. Tapos dumating ako sa punto ng buhay ko na, after my last breakup, parang napagod ang puso ko, parang nagpahinga, parang ayaw na tapos one day kasi tinatawagan na ako ni Inang nila Tita Malou nagko-comment sila sa rushes ko, ‘Cathy hindi kita nararamdaman hindi kita nakikita. Bakit ang dilim ng pelikula, then I started introspecting, then I called Vanessa sabi ko

As her election-themed movie My Candidate opens in theaters on May 11, Shaina Magdayao said she is single because she is just too busy to date this year. “Hay diyoskoday, it’s been five years! Sabi ko pagkatapos ng movie na ito (laughs) kasi grabe talaga everyday talaga yung trabaho ko ngayon. And wala kasi ito sa plano for 2016. We’re doing the second season of Single/Single tapos ginawa ko yung Dukot with Paul Soriano and Enrique Gil. Tapos sumabay ito. So parang two months ako na kahit kaibigan ko hindi ko na sila nakikita because jinuggle ko nga yung tatlo at once. Mahirap so parang wala talagang oras and I don’t know. I’m super-inspired to work now maybe because I’ve been given the chance to work with three of the youngest filmmakers in our industry. Bagong generation like Pepe Diokno for Single/Single, Paul Soriano for Dukot and Quark Henares for My Candidate. So na-i-inspire ako to work and magkaroon ng bagong goals,” she shared. After her last relationship ended five years ago, Shaina said she has slowly been getting back into the dating scene courtesy of Nikki Gil who has been playing matchmaker. “Oo (laughs) lagi. Sini-screen niya. Sini-set up niya ako sa mga friends niya. But yung schedule ko yung problema. So siguro may mga ilan pa akong kailangan tapusin at i-wrap up which is the promo of this movie which is everyday. I think kapag medyo na-i-placing na natin yun baka naman dumating na talaga (laughs),” she admitted. The 26-year-old Kapamilya actress said she has no preference whether the guy is showbiz or non-showbiz now. “You know when I was younger ang sabi ko non-showbiz pero saan napunta? Sa showbiz (guy) lagi. So at the end of the day, natuto na ako na maging hindi idealistic. Parang showbiz man or hindi showbiz okay lang basta mabait and siguro may takot dapat sa Diyos. Wala ng kailangang ganito or kailangan ganyan. And hopefully siya na yun kung sino man yun. Kaya I’m really willing to wait kasi if he’s worth the wait why not di ba? And I know he’s worth the wait. Kaya huwag na tayong magmadali. Lahat na lang ng oras ko, ibubuhos ko na lang sa pamilya ko at sa kaibaigan ko, sa sarili ko at sa trabaho ko, now na parang ang ganda ng pagpasok ng 2016. Kung dadating, bakit hindi? Pero kung wala pa okay lang hindi talaga ako nagbi-busy busy-han. Busy talaga ako ngayon,” she explained. The My Candidate actress said she hopes people will not take everything she says in context with her last relationship with Just the 3 of Us star John Lloyd Cruz. “Lahat ng sinasabi ko sa inyo ngayon, it’s not because of a certian person or a certain person from my past. Malayo na, It’s been five years. Malayo na yun sa kung ano man ang mundo ko ngayon. It’s funny how people would always compare my past with wherever I am right now. But wala talagang connection. Malayo eh. Maski kayo alam niyo yan, it’s been five years and marami ng nangyari sa akin sa loob ng limang taon and I’m really very happy na madaming mababait na tao na nakapaligid sa akin especially my friends who are very supportive and all and also my family. Walang kinalaman yung past ko. Actually kung meron man, siyempre it makes who I am and I am thankful for all the lessons na natanggap ko sa mga past experiences ko. So if I were to look back sa past ko, hanggang dun na lang yun and not because I want them to compare sa ano man ang nangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon,” she shared. Even though she is not in a hurry to be in a relationship, Shaina admitted she has had her share of suitors. “Marami rin naman. Pati mga non-showbiz din na hindi niyo kilala. And actually I’m thankful na may mg nakaka-appreciate pa rin but I guess it’s really the timing. Wrong timing siguro kasi nga madami akong ginagawa. Malalaman niyo rin naman. Bakit ko pa itatago? Diyosko, ipagsisigawan ko yan kapag ano na. I think mas naiinip yung mga tao sa paligid ko (laughs),” she said. After promoting My Candidate, Shaina said she will have more time to focus on her personal life. But this time she wants to make it clear that she is not into casual dating. “Siguro by now alam niyo na I am serious when it comes to relationships because para sa akin kung hindi mo tayo seseryosohin eh huwag na lang maging tayo di ba? We’re just going to waste time and our energy and our feelings. So I’m just here waiting for the right one kasi alam ko pag dumating siya, dadating din naman yan in His perfect time. Actually for sure he’s going to be worth the wait kung sino man siya,” she added.

EXCLUSIVE: WHY KRISTINE HERMOSA SACRIFICED IT ALL TO BECOME A MOM

Who would believe Kristine Hermosa will turn away from it all? She was one of the most visible and celebrated stars on the Kapamilya stable, being one of the network’s top leading ladies throughout the 2000s. Definitely, she would cast that spell, with a mesmerizingly beautiful face that would captivate anyone. Also her acting craft was aplomb, touching televiewers to the furthest intensity of emotions. Indeed, she was a star who had it all. Leading the cast of one top rating teleserye after another, and also starred in blockbuster movies that drew immense acclaim.

How to get to know someone.” The director says how she found a solution to this. “Ang tagal. Namroblema ako Tito Boy, hindi ko maititindig ang pelikulang ito kung wala. Naghanap ako. Charot. Umikot po ang mata ko, e wala naman ako makikita kundi tao sa set ko, so may nakita ako, okay na to!” Direk Cathy clarified that it’s not a relationship but just a crush. “hindi nga niya alam na crush ko siya e… ayaw kong malaman ng kahit sino nakakahiya.” On Fast Talk, Direk Cathy was asked, “unang reaksiyon mo sa report na naging totohanan daw ang John Lloyd-Bea Alonzo love team,” and she answers, “No.”

But of course, Kristine is best remembered as the original YnaMacaspac in the timeless classic PangakoSaYo, which not only became the standard grade in teleseryes but also one of the most successful ever made. But all of these had to take the backseat. And, as she tied the knot with Oyo Sotto in 2011, it became very clear in her mind and in her heart: she will focus on family. Since then, Kristine had virtually “retired” from show business, bowing out of the scene and became the Mrs. Sotto she really wanted. She gave birth to Ondrea Bliss that same year she and Oyo tied the knot. Three years later, she gave birth to their youngest, Kaleb. The couple also has an adopted son, Kiel. And with that, it was a no-brainer for Kristine to turn down showbiz comebacks left and right, including the recent remake of her career-defining teleserye that featured Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.Why? For Kristine, being a mother is one fulfilling joy she would never replace anything with. It’s “God’s gift,” according to her. In an interview with StarStudio Magazine, she shared the joys of being a mother.“Siyempre iba kapag mom ka kasi you have to know yung tamang medicines, tamang vitamins,”Kristine said. “Kailangan mo silang dalhin sa pedia every month. Yung mga kapatid ko naman, nandoon naman yung nanay ko (mommy Alma),” she added. In the end, she revealed the main reason why all the pomp and glory of being a successful actress and celebrity; why the glam and fame meant nothing to her as she received the “gift” of motherhood?“Talagang all-out ako (being a mom),” Kristine said.

John Prats wants to have more kids: "Baby making muna kami ngayon" As the star of the movie Diyos-Diyosan, John Prats admits he is not bothered with their playdate coinciding with the opening of two other big films by Star Cinema and Viva Films. “Well I don’t treat it naman as a competition. Itong pelikula na ito hindi ito kumbaga yung nakasanayan ng bawat Pilipino na kikiligin tayo. Hindi po kayo kikiligin sa pelikulang ito, hindi po kayo ma-i-in love. Ang purpose ng movie na ito kasi ginawa namin siya with a purpose talaga. Yung purpose niya is since malapit na yung botohan, sana ay makatulong ito. Sana makatulong itong pelikulang ito na makapagdecide yung bawat Pilipino kung sino talaga yung iboboto sila. “Yung ibang scenes are based on facts. Sana bigyan lang nila ng chance na sana makatulong talaga yung pelikula,” he shared during the DIyos-Diyosan presscon held last April 28 at the Historia Bar in Quezon city. In the film, John plays the role of Bernard Mojica, a young idealist who eventually transforms into a deceptive politician who was initially influenced by his high school teacher Estrell (played by princess PUnzalan). The film starts in the Marcos era until the present day Aquino administration. “It is politically motivated. That’s the purpose of the film. Kung pinapatamaan, walang isang taong pinapatamaan. Siguro

marami or kung sinong mag-react sila yung tinamaan. Because ako nung tinanggap ko yung pelikula sabi ko ang tapang nung pelikula. Pero sabi ko talon ako dito kasi baka saka sakali pag ginawa ko itong pelikula na ito ay makatulong ako,” he explained. With the birth of his first baby Feather earlier this month, John admitted he and wife Isabel Oli are still on a high. “Sobrang gusto ko na everyday just to be with her. 80% ang sabi ako (ang kamuhka niya) pero kasi sa stage naman na ito nag-cha-change pa yung itsura niya. Wala, hindi ko ma-explain kung ano yung happiness. Kasi I was there nung nanganganak yung misis ko so iba yung experience. Mamahalin mo lalo yung asawa mo, yung journey niya simula day one na buntis siya ibang journey,” he said. John revealed it was a surreal experience to watch his child enter the world. “Even yung paglabas ni Feather parang sobrang magical nung feeling. Hindi mo alam umiiyak ka na pala, yung di mo planado hindi ka naman nag-e-emote. Sobrang happy na ako ngayon na healthy and safe yung delivery na nangyari sa wife ko and si baby Feather normal. Kasi yung day one na ipinagdadasal mo na sana lima daliri ng anak mo, healthy siya and walang complications. Happy ako na yun yung nangyari sa aking munting pamilya,” he added. Being a new parent, John shared he is slowly learning how to take care of a baby. “I tape everyday for Ang Probinsyano and uuwi ako ng mga 2 am kasi night shift ako so siyempre yung wife ko nag-rerecover pa lang siya and ako yung nagkakarga pero siyempre yung breastfeeding. Ang hirap nung una kasi hindi mo alam kung bakit siya umiiyak, natatakot ako hindi ko alam eh. It’s either change diapers or gutom yun lang namaneh. But ngayon alam ko na kung ano yung timpla so medyo relaxed na kaming mag-asawa ngayon,” he divulged. Part of his everyday routine now includes helping Feather burp after meals. “Marunong na ako magpalit (ng diapers). Hindi ako nagtitimpla (ng gatas) kasi breastfeeding kami ngayon. Siguro yung dalawang pamangkin ko never ko sila nahawakan nung baby kasi parang very fragile sila pero once na anak mo na pala yun, parang natuto na ako bigla in like five minutes how to swaddle a baby pati yung pagbuhat. Dun kasi wala akong choice pati yung pag-burp niya and after ng inom ipapa-burp mo siya and every morning we have our bonding na 6 am kasi papaarawan mo siya. That’s our bonding eh. Yun yung sakripisyo ko sa kanya,” he shared. Now that his wife has given birth, John also revealed Isabel Oli (real name Maria Olivia “Liv” Daytia) is more focused on having more kids than returning to showbiz. “Well objective talaga namin na magkaroon siya ng normal delivery and buti na lang normal siya para siguro pag ready na gawa na kami ulit. Kasi gusto namin sunod sunod na. Para tatlong sunod sunod and then okay na,” he revealed. John remarked his wife will eventually go back when their family planning is complete. “After nung three kids. Yun yung mindset niya eh. Baby making muna kami ngayon. Wala namang (minamadali). Ako naman kasi parang matagal ko na rin naman kasi actually hinintay ito. I’m 32 and Liv is 34 so siguro it’s about time na sunod sunurin na namin. parang we don’t have that privilege na maghintay pa ng another year. Hangga’t kaya ni Liv.” CLICK HERE TO Watch the trailer of Diyos-Diyosan as it opens in cinemas nationwide.

John Prats on wife Isabel Oli: 'Sobra siyang magaling na mommy' New father John Prats was asked to describe what he felt being a parent. He describe it as a feeling of joy and love. “Sobrang ano ‘yung feeling kasi di mo ma-explain basta sobrang saya lang. Parang sobrang ang galing nong the whole process parang it’s just a miracle na nag-start lang na buntis siya and the journey na nagwoworry kami the whole time na sana healthy ang baby. Ngayon lumabas na finally parang it’s a brand new feeling of in love again,” he said in an interview with Push.com.ph. Despite the demands of being a dad, John shared that he did not encounter any difficulties. “Well effortless eh, walang nagturo sa aming mag-asawa, it’s the first time. The fact na wala kaming yaya, kaming dalawa talaga ang gumagawa, ang saya nong journey. Kahit galing akong taping ng Probinsyano, it’s 2 am, it’s my shift na magpatulog sa kanya, parang effortless, parang di mo nararamdaman ang pagod,” he said.

What are his realizations now that he is a father? “Ano talaga parang everything that I do now is for them. Parang nagwo-work ako, sa lahat ng ginagawa ko, sila ‘yung inspiration ko. Totoo ‘yun eh parang I do the best for them and I want to give them the best. ‘Yun lang talaga ‘yung napaka-unselfish nong feeling.” John happily relayed that his wife Isabel Oli has now fully recovered after giving birth. The Kapamilya actor was all praises for her. “Well okay na [siya] kasi normal [yung delivery]. Okay na ‘yung status niya physcially. Nakakalakad na siya, makulit na siya ulit. Nakakatuwa, sobra siyang magaling na mommy,” he said. When asked about his discoveries about Isabel now that the latter is officially a mom, he replied, “Pasensiyosa talaga and very loving and alam kong maspo-spoil ang anak ko dahil sa kanya.” John said that he wants to have a second baby as soon as possible. “Gusto namin sunod sunod eh,” he stated.
