SEVEN THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT BOOTS ANSON-ROA AND KING RODRIGO’S WEDDING

Coco Martin and Sarah Geronimo shine in

Coco Martin and Sarah Geronimo appear on the big screen together for the first time in Maybe This Time. This latest Star Cinema offering tells the story of how a summer romance blossomed into forever love. Directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng, Maybe This Time is a story about Steph “Teptep” Asuncion (Sarah Geronimo) and Tonio Bugayong (Coco Martin) who met during the summer of 2007 and fell in love. But their romance was cut short when Tonio chose to leave for reasons he could not tell Teptep.

After seven long years, their paths cross again. But now that Tonio is already dating a new girl named Monica (Ruffa Guttierez), will they still give their love a chance or will they simply choose to move on?

Sarah fully embodied the charming

Coco Martin on the success of ‘Maybe This Time’: ‘Hindi lang nila alam kung gaano ako kaligaya’

Sarah Geronimo plays coy about a certain ‘first time’ experience

Coco Martin admitted that he felt overwhelmed when he learned that his movie Maybe This Time scored big at the box office on its first day of showing. The movie earned 20 million on its opening day.

“Hindi ako makapaniwala, kahit kanina hanggang pag-uwi sa bahay halos hindi ako makatulog. Kaya nga sabi ko hindi lang nila alam kung gaano ako kaligaya na hindi ko inakala na makakagawa ako ng ganitong klaseng pelikula,” Coco said.

When asked if what he thinks is the reason why people chose to watch their film, he commented, “Siyempre maganda ‘yung konsepto, siyempre baka na excite din sila sa unang tambalan namin ni Sarah (Geronimo) sa big screen at sabi ko nga hindi lang dahil ako ‘yung artista na umaarte dito at kasama ako sa pelikula, kundi talagang napakaganda ng pelikula.”

He added, “Sabi ko nga kikiligin ka, papainlovin ka at paiiyakin ka, kumbaga kung gusto mo talaga ng parang bago at makakapagbigay ng inspirasyon sa buhay mo at sa puso mo itong pelikulang ‘to, saktong-sakto para sa ’yo.”

On his favorite scene in the film, Coco relayed that he really likes the ending. “‘Yung dulo sobra akong kinilig. Sabi ko nga kahit ako nga artista sobrang kinilig. Pero sabi ko masaya eh, kikiligin ka at papaiyakin ka.”

Coco shared that some of his and Sarah’s dialogue in the film, especially in the ending, were uttered spontaneously. “Yung mga dialogue namin, ‘yung adlib-adlib namin, kami na ‘yun eh. Kumbaga sabi ko nga basta si direk, inupo lang kami, [sabi niya] ‘Bahala na kayo ha,’ kumbaga ‘yun na tinatawag na chemistry,” he said.

persona of her character, Teptep.

Sarah was also a revelation in this film especially during her confrontation scene with Ruffa Gutierrez’s character. Her delivery of lines was sharp, smart, and spot on.

It was refreshing to see Coco Martin showing off his comical side in the movie. Coco suits his character well as the unassuming, uber confident and simpatico Tonio. More than anything else, Coco was brilliant in the movie’s dramatic scenes.

Though this is their first big screen partnership, Coco and Sarah successfully established a palpable onscreen chemistry in the movie. Both were natural as onscreen lovers and were able sustain the romantic connection of their characters throughout the entire duration of the film.

It seems that Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo has culled a lot of knowledge these days when it comes to love and falling in love. This she displayed during the recently-concluded blogger’s conference of her newest rom-com film under Star Cinema and Viva Films titled Maybe This Time opposite award-winning actor Coco Martin. The actress openly and extensively talked about when would be the right time to fall in love.

“Pag-ibig? Katulad ng sinabi ni Coco, walang makakasabi sa atin kung ano ang pag-ibig na talagang nakalaan para sa iyo. Kapag ikaw ay nagmamahal, siyempre gusto mo na mag-last forever,” she began.

While she believes that a person should give “100%” of love for his/her partner, she underscored that “dapat alam mo kung paano rin aalagaan ang sarili mo.”

The Voice Kids coach even went on cryptically opening up about a certain “first time” experience which many presumed to be about her love life. “Para sa akin nga wala pa naman ako sa posisyon pero kung anuman ang mga pinagdadaanan ko ngayon ay first time kong nae-experience sa buhay ko,” she added. “Magti-26 na ako pero first time kong nae-experience ang lahat ng ito. Basta ang importante lang siguro ay you seek guidance kay Lord, ‘di ba?

Ipagdasal mo lang kung ano ang will Niya talaga.”

According to Sarah, everything about her—even her own love life—she has subjected to the Lord’s will because “Kung tayo lang ay go lang tayo nang go, hindi ba? Kapag nagmahal tayo, talagang ipaglalaban mo. Pero kapag si Lord na ang nagbigay ng senyales na, ‘Anak, tuloy lang, anak... Tama na.’ Maniniwala tayo na si Lord ay in-charge din sa love life natin.”

When asked to clarify about that first time experience that she was talking about, Sarah suddenly backpedaled and only shared “Siguro ang mga pinagdadaanan ko sa buhay ko, yung mga personal sa buhay ko na pinagdadaanan ko, ayun…

Mahirap magbigay ng personal details, pero in time…”

The question however remains, is she and Matteo Guidicelli a couple now?

“Alam niyo po, bilang respeto sa pelikula at sa leading man ko, hindi tamang panahon para sagutin ang personal issues,” she said.

The young diva has been relentlessly linked with athlete-actor Matteo Guidicelli after they were seen spending time together.

While they have both stayed mum on the real score between them by saying that they would reveal what is there to reveal “in due time,” fans couldn’t help but presume that they are already an item especially since sometimes, the two are seen with Sarah’s parents, Mommy Divine and Daddy Delfin Geronimo.

Meanwhile, the film, which tackled the botched love affair and the closure (or the lack thereof) between Coco and Sarah’s characters Tonio and TepTep, has taught her a thing or two about love.

“Mamimili ka ng klase ng pagmamahal… kasi merong pagmamahal na mababaw. Hindi naman tayo nandito para manghusga ng pagmamahal na pinagdadaanan ng bawat tao, pero at the end of the day, we want to have the kind of love na buung-buo sa puso mo, na hindi lang dahil you want to please the other person, the other half. Dapat masayangmasaya ka rin dahil naging totoo ka sa sarili mo,” she explained.

Seven things to love about Boots Anson-Roa and King Rodrigo’s wedding As Atty. Francisco “King” Rodrigo put it, their wedding held at the Archbishop’s Palace as officiated by Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle last June 14, was a fruition of many things, such as their love and engagement. But of the many things that happened that memorable night, certain aspects of their wedding definitely stood out.

1. Their Rings

The two had a seven-month engagement after being in a relationship for three months. Roa in an interview after the ceremonies shyly shared that it’s actually her first time to get an engagement ring and experience a grand wedding since she just eloped with late husband Pete Roa in 1964. Her giant round-cut diamond ring sparkled on her hand as well as her studded gold wedding ring.

3. The giveaways Apart from being an international lawyer and a former consul general of the Philippines in the US, not a lot of people know that Rodrigo is actually a very eloquent poet. This he was able to affirm on their wedding giveaway: a mini booklet of poems that he filled with heartfelt poetry glorifying his great love for Roa.

4. The prenup photos

2. The gown and the look

It’s not every day that two people get the chance to find love again after losing one and this was what was essentially evoked by the simple and candid prenuptial photos of Roa and King which was shown halfway through their wedding reception for the guests to enjoy.

The MOWELFUND president glowed in her ecru gown by designer Eddie Baddeo as she alighted from the vintage Jaguar bridal car going at the reception venue with her new husband who wore a sleek barong.

The Many Loves of

Richard Gutierrez

A look back at the life and loves of actor and new father Richard Gutierrez.

ANNE CURITS The Dyesebel star’s romance with Richard Gutierrez was the latter’s first showbiz relationship. He was so serious about Anne that he reportedly even asked permission from Anne’s ex-boyfriend Oyo Boy Sotto before courting her. Their pairing lasted for a year, even weathering a supposed “scandal” when a cellphone video of them making out while in bed was leaked. Both of them have since moved on with Anne becoming one of the country’s top endorsers and happily in a long-term relationship with Erwann Heussaff, a Fil-French businessman-triathlete.

GEORGINA WILSON Georgina admitted that she and Richard decided to end their two-year relationship because of the distance. At that time, the Fil-British model was still finishing her double major degree in Accounting and Finance at the University of Sydney, Australia while Richard was busy with his career in the Philippines. The model-endorser now runs her own business. She recently just got back together with long-time boyfriend and fellow model Borgy Manotoc.

Jewel Mische Even though she chose to keep mum about their more than three-year relationship while they were with the same network, it was only when they broke up that she spoke up about the issue. The actress who transferred to the Kapamilya network in 2011 admitted she would prefer to date a nonshowbiz guy. After Richard, Jewel was then linked to Jason Abalos whom she was reportedly dated for a short period.

Solenn Heussaff They were first romantically linked when Solenn was a castaway on Survivor Philippines where Richard was the host. Then came more speculation when she became one of his leading ladies in the movie My Valentine Girls where they had a long kissing scene. But Richard quickly ended the issue by declaring that Solenn is just a good family friend and is actually one of the best friends of his twin brother Raymond. The Fil-French actress also told the press she just wanted to keep their relationship on a professional level.

Solenn has been in a two-year relationship with Argentine businessman Nico Bolzico and was Vhong Navarro’s leading lady this year in the Star Cinema movie Da Possessed.

After becoming a couple in 2012 while working on the same series, former talent show contestant Sarah and Richard have long kept mum on the issue that they had a baby early last year when the Fil-Swiss actress abruptly cut her contract short with her home network and went back to Switzerland. The couple finally put all speculations to rest last June 1 during the pilot episode of their new cable reality show It Takes Gutz to be a Gutierrez where they introduced the newest member of their family, baby Zion. As of now, Sarah and Richard have admitted that they already discussed the idea of marriage but are still taking things one day at a time.

TER N U O C A G A D N A E N E L R A CH H G U O R H T S R O M U R N IO T SEPARA SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS

NI: MAUREEN MARIE BELMONTE

C

elebrity couple Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez have recently been the rumored subject of a blind item pertaining to a married couple who have supposedly parted ways due to a third party.

But the couple, albeit refusing to comment on the issue, seemingly belied the issue through their posts on their respective social media accounts, according to The Buzz's Sunday report.

Muhlach and Gonzalez celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary last May 28 and on the same day, the former matinee idol took to his Facebook account to post the surprise that his wife and kids made for him.

Shown on his video post was a wooden pathway in their Batangas home littered with flower petals and

letters which eventually made up the line "Happy 13th wedding anniversary."

"Good morning, guys!

I woke up to this," Muhlach said in the video, referring to his wife's early morning surprise, "Man, oh man! She always does this to me."

Gonzalez for her part posted a photo of the flowers she received from her husband on her Instagram account with the caption, "Flowers always put a smile on girl's face. Thank you bb.

13 years, happy anniversary."

A separate post of the beauty queen-actress revealed that they had a dinner date.

However, Gonzalez's mom, Elvie, denied the rumors in a report of newspaper Remate, saying "Not true.

Bayaan mo na, basta happy sila."

ANNABELLE RAMA ADMITS BEING INITIALLY DISAPPOINTED

BY SARAH LAHBATI’S PREGNANCY

T

urns out, Richard Gutierrez and Sarah Lahbati’s son Baby Zion not only had a major impact on his parents’ lives but also for the entire Gutierrez family most especially to the matriarch, Annabelle Rama.

The feisty manager in a taped interview on The Buzz on Sunday happily shared that Sarah and Richard’s first-born has got her “addicted.”

“Nalimutan ko nang mag-tweet. Everytime na magpupunta ako sa bahay sa hapon na-addict na siya sa akin kasi alam niyang lakwatsera ako eh sama siya sa akin sa mall. Kapag nakikita ang pagmumukha ko

nagyaya na pupunta sa kotse. Kaya nakalimutan ko na mang-away, nakalimutan ko na mag-tweet,” she narrated.

Even Sarah’s mother, Esther Lahbati, Annabelle says, is also very fond of Baby Zion. “’Yung nanay ni Sarah nandoon natutulog every weekend. Kami naman ni Eddie hindi pwedeng hindi kami pupunta everyday kasi na-addict talaga ako kaya wala na akong time sumagot sa mga basher sa Twitter,” she said.

While Richard, who was also at the interview, admitted that he and Sarah initially hid Baby Zion’s existence to the family, until they figured out a way to let out the good news, Annabelle, for her part says she already had a hunch.

“Ako kinakabahan na ako kasi nagpahula ako eh.

Mahilig kasi akong mahpahula talaga pero nagkakatotoo naman. Sabi sa akin nakikita daw niya na may anak daw akong makabuntis. Sabi ko, ‘Ay wag sana si Chard, okay lang si Frank,’” she quipped laughing.

But the card reader she said named Richard saying that, “Sabi niya ‘yung favorite mo, ‘yung maraming trabaho.’”

Annabelle was so shocked about the reading that she even argued with the card-reader and told him, “Sabi ko, ‘Hindi, hindi ako naniniwala sayo. Sinungaling ka!’

Tapos ‘yun pala totoo.”

The revelation happened during an ordinary day at the Gutierrez household. Richard said he made sure that both his parents were in a good mood before he told them that they would have a new grandchild from him and Sarah.

“Super shocked ako. Umiyak ako ‘pag alis na niya,” recalled Annabelle as to how she took in the news.

The feisty matriarch shared that she was so worried as to what would become of her son and Sarah, who was just 20-years-old at that time, so much so that she “faked” being happy for them before.

“Kunyari lang ‘yon Darling pero deep in my heart I was so so worried. Nag-cry talaga ako. Nag-cry ako kasi totoo pala ang manghuhula, sana si Elvis nalang ganyan ganyan,” she said.

Annabelle shared that she noticed how her despairing over the news seemingly affected her son and his work.

“So sabi ko, ‘Chard ‘wag ng mag-worry okay na ako’ para lang mag-relax lang siya, para makapag

shooting na siya kasi nalungkot talaga ako. Di ako talaga makapaniwala. Ang aga aga naman, sabi ko. Batang bata pa si Sarah, ano kaya ang mangyayari sa kanya?” enthused Annabelle.

Even Sarah’s mother, according to Annabelle, was somehow disappointed when the pregnancy was announced. However, all these are behind them now as both Richard and Annabelle confirmed that everything is going well between the Gutierrez’s and the Lahbati’s.

Annabelle in a previous Push.com report shared that Richard and Sarah’s wedding is something that they are going to talk about soon. This was also confirmed by Richard who underscored that while it’s “in the horizon” he and Sarah want to make “major life decisions one step at a time.”

“Advice ko lang lang sa kanila na enjoy-in muna nila ang buhay nilang pareho lalo si Sarah bata pa kasi enjoy naman si Sarah sa work niya ngayon. Happy ako na masaya sya at nakakapagtrabaho siya,” she said.

GHTER’S U A D R E H N O R E T S R O F JACKIE ’S IT Y A S E L P O E P D A H E ’V ‘I ILLNESS: RMA’ A K ’S IT E S U A C E B LT U A F MY

n her exclusive one-on-one interview on The Buzz’s Sunday episode, Jackie Forster revealed to Boy Abunda that her daughter Caleigh’s Leukemia is currently on remission. “Medically speaking, she’s in remission and she still needs to go through two years of chemotherapy. But when we look at her we pray, when we talk about her, she’s cured.”

According to Jackie, Caleigh had fever that would not go away so she took her to the hospital for a check-up.

“Nung una nilalagnat siya. It was on and off so we thought better to bring her to a specialist, someone who knows exactly, like a pediatrician. I was scared it would be dengue. So I took her to the pediatrician Monday. So the doctor told me, because she had her blood drawn, of course he knew the symptoms, feeling niya she might have Leukemia. I was even thinking ano yung Leukemia? Like, I’ve heard of it, it’s a sickness, oh it’s dengue right? In denial pa nga ako, so I have to have him explain to me and everything just started to unfold one by one after that,” the former actress explained.

Jackie also said that Caleigh is awared of her condition and that she prays with the family about her illness. “Yes. Siya pa nga ang nagdadasal para sa amin. Keep us safe, keep us healthy. She’s aware. She only learned of the word cancer recently, through her brother, but she doesn’t use it. But she calls what she has, ang tawag niya dun aliens.”

Jackie, who was involved in a

controversy with her sons with exhusband Benjie Paras, says people have judged her because of that and some even blamed her for her daughter’s sickness. “No matter what happens, I’m gonna fight this through with my head held high. Because I know people are gonna say, ‘ayan, ayan kasi.’ And when I pray about it, can’t the people keep bringing me down.’” She even said the people have been posting hurtful things on her Instagram account. “On my Instagram, I’ve had people say, it is my fault… because it’s karma.”

As a mother, Jackie’s only wish is for Caleigh to live a long, meaningful life.

“That she just enjoy her life, a long and healthy life. I pray that she forgets all the pain. I don’t want her to remember…”

To share in her daughter’s hardship, Jackie also had her hair cut short when Caleigh’s hair started to fall out because

of her chemotherapy sessions. “She was scared. Natatakot siya magtanong. Pero when she goes to the hospital, nakikita niya lahat sila magkakamukha. So she needed to eventually. So we did it medyo gradual. She mentioned she misses her long hair, when is my hair going to grow long? I thought that it was time for me to tell her.”

Jackie’s advice to those who are sick and families who are going through the same thing as her is to stay positive despite the hardship they are going through. She added that her daughter is returning that positiveness to her. “They just have to focus on the good. Do what you need to do so the person gets well.

Most important is the person is happy, so make that person’s life happy. Caleigh, she’ll have chemo, any procedure, she’ll ask me the next day, she’ll have me open the windows and she’ll tell me to look out and see how beautiful the sunrise is. She paints for me, she’ll paint a boat with water, and the sky pink. ‘Caleigh, the sky is supposed to be blue.’ ‘No mom it’s pink and orange.’ I’ll say ok. Then days later, she said, ‘Mom, look out. See I told you so. She’s an angel.”

ERIC QUIZON ON ZSA ZSA PADILLA’S NEW BOYFRIEND CONRAD ONGLAO: ‘I THINK HE’S A GOOD GUY’

V

ocal about his support for Zsa Zsa Padilla’s blossoming relationship with architect Conrad Onglao, Eric Quizon said he has always maintained a good friendship with his father’s former partner even after the latter passed away two years ago.

“Na-meet ko na si Conrad, nagkita na kami. We had lunch together with Zsa Zsa. He’s a good guy. I think he’s a good guy. But siyempre yung compatibility nila sila na bahala dun (laughs),” he said.

Eric admitted that Zsa Zsa is more than just his dad’s partner in life but also a good friend to him. “Kami ni Zsa Zsa we’ve been friends for the longest time. Kasi nung nag-uumpisa din ako kasabay ko si Zsa Zsa na nag-uummpisa din sa pelikula. Nakasama ko siya sa mga pelikula ng daddy ko so ever since then magkaibigan kami. So even during the time na nagkasakit yung daddy ko and all that, lahat ng pinagdadaanan namin, we always discuss. Ka-telebabad ko yan si Zsa Zsa (laughs) so kung ano man ang nangyayari sa buhay niya, she’s very open about it. Open naman din siya sa pamilya namin. Like I’ve said before, kung saan masaya si Zsa Zsa, masaya kami para sa kanya,” he shared during the Ipaglaban Mo presscon.

Eric refuted rumors that Zsa Zsa is planning on walking down the aisle very soon.

akong nababalitaan. Kung meron mang ganun I’m sure sasabihin ni Zsa Zsa sa akin yun. But like I said before, kung saan masaya si Zsa Zsa, dun kami masaya sa kanya. Pagka-magkaibigan kayo ng isang tao, no matter what happens, kung ano man ang desisyon niya or desisyon ko, kung wala namang ginagawang masama ang isang kaibigan then you will not tell the person na mali ang ginagawa mo. I don’t think Zsa Zsa is doing anything wrong,” he said.

After his father passed away at the age of 83, Eric said it was unfortunate that Dolphy and Zsa Zsa’s marriage plans after 23 years of being together never came to be. “Nagplano sila twice.

Yung una nagkasakit yung daddy ko tapos nung sunod naman yung annulment ni Zsa Zsa hindi lumabas,” he said. As the country marks the second death anniversary of the King of

Comedy on July 10, Eric said the Quizon family are still planning what to do. “May mga plano so we’re still working on it.

But definitely now there’s a game app, it’s called Dolphy Clean-Up so yun muna.

Lumabas siya ng December pero hindi pa siya fully introduced but soon to be up and by the time na death anniversary niya and birthday niya tamang-tama it’s out na. It’s going to be carried by a big telecom company. I’ll discuss that some other time pag lumabas na siya,” he explained.

As administrator of the family estate, the 47-year-old director-actor said his love life will have to take a backseat for now. “Ako? Wala eh (laughs). Parang marami lang akong kailangan ayusin so yan diyan muna yan sa isang tabi (laughs). It’s something that I have to do, I promised my dad that so gusto kong maayos muna lahat,” he admitted.

S SEN. KRIS AQUINO ON WHY SHE LOVERE JINGGOY ESTRADA: ‘SILENCE IS ALLY BETTER THAN BS.’

S

a Aquino and Abunda Tonight, buong pusong idinepensa ni Kris Aquino ang kanyang kapatid na si President Benigno S. Aquino III o mas kilala sa tawag na “PNoy.” Ito ay reaksiyon sa katatapos na privilege speech ni Senator Bong Revilla patungkol sa plunder case na isinampa laban sa kanya sa Sandiganbayan. Sa nasabing speech binatikos ni Sen. Bong si “PNoy” at sinabing sa natitirang dalawang taon ni PNoy bilang presidente ng bansa, mas maganda na pagtuunan niya ng pansin ang paglutas ng mga mas importanteng bagay katulad ng kahirapan kaysa sa pagpapakulong nito ng mga hindi niya kaalyado.

Sinabi ni Kris na nire-respeto

niya ang pamilya ni Sen. Bong at ang pinagdadaanan nito ngunit nire-respeto din niya ang kanyang pamilya at ang kanyang kapatid. Dagdag ni Kris, “To this day, 72% of the Filipino citizens say he enjoys the trust and the support of the people so let it be that. This is not an issue about PNoy and the presidency.

This is an issue about the pork barrel, na thank God walang kinalaman si PNoy dun, malinis ang konsensiya ng kapatid ko kaya malakas ang loob niya na isulong ang paglilinis ng gobyerno.”

Ayon pa sa co-host ni Kris na si Boy Abunda, napakahirap diumano magbigay ng komento sapagka’t kapatid ni Kris si PNoy at kaibigan din niya ang presidente ngunit, “We just have to say certain things para may balanse din po. Ito yung

tinatawag na free speech.”

Hindi rin sang-ayon si Boy sa sinabi ni Sen. Bong na nakatuon lang ang pansin ni PNoy sa mga kalaban nito sa politika.

“Double-edged (sword) po yan, that can define a bit his presidency but hindi lang naman po yun lamang ang ginagawa ng presidente.”

Pagtatapos ni Kris, “Nabigyan siya ng all that time and karapatan ko din naman na ako sabihin ko na ako, bilib sa kapatid ko at pakiramdam ko majority ng Pilipinas still agree with me at yung two years na paulit-ulit, well it’s still two years.”

Ayon pa kay Kris, “parang I love Jinggoy (Estrada),” dahil, dagdag na patutsada ni Kris, “Silence is really better than BS.”

lmost two years into her relationship with partner Alyssa Quijano, Charice has already CHARICE ON MARRYING expressed with certainty where they are headed ALYSSA QUIJANO: ‘ALAM as a couple. In an interview with Balitang America, the 22-year-old performer revealed NA NAMIN SA ISA’T-ISA NA that she and Alyssa have already been discussing their G’ future and settling down.

DOON KAMI DARATIN

“Lagi naman naming napapagusapan ‘yun,” she began. Even if they are yet to be considered as a married couple, Charice reiterated that they already consider themselves as one. “…Parang talagang mag-asawa na kami. The way she treats me and the way I treat her and the way na magplan kami sa isa’t-isa sa buhay namin, sa future namin.

Talagang alam na namin sa isa’t-isa na doon kami darating,” she explained.

The couple have been in the US, Australia, and Canada for Charice’s world tour, and Alyssa made sure she never left the acclaimed singer’s side. According to the report, Alyssa has decided to set aside her personal dreams to become a doctor and a professional singer to be with the former X Factor Philippines judge. “Siguro parang mas okay na ‘yung isa lang sa amin ang

nasa showbiz kasi mahirap,” Alyssa reasoned.

It was June of last year when Charice first came out as a lesbian and introduced Alyssa as the woman in her life. Despite some backlash from the public, they became each other’s source of strength.

Charice recently commemorated her coming out via a post on her Instagram account and instead of just celebrating the occasion, she encouraged other closet individuals to show the world who they really are.

“It’s been a year since I came out. (JUNE 2, 2013) This day is not just for me but for all the people all over the world who had the strength to come out and be who they are. To others who still feel scared to tell the world, it’s okay. We’ve all been there and one day, you will find the strength to tell everyone. Be strong and always know that YOU, my friend, are not alone. #comingoutDAY” posted the young Kapamilya star.

pinapatawag ng Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) ang Kapamilya Network kaugnay ng ‘nude painting challenge’ ng programa nitong Pinoy Big Brother All In. Sa challenge na ito tinanong ang mga housemates na sila Michelle Gumabao at Jayme Jalandoni kung gusto at kaya nilang maging modelo para sa isang nude painting.

Umiyak at naging emosyonal si Michelle at Jayme sa naturang challenge sapagka’t labag ito sa kanilang prinsipyo.

Kinondena naman ng Philippine Commission on Women ang diumano’y pag-pressure ni Kuya sa mga housemates. Pang-aabuso raw ito sa mga babae. Giit pa nila, “Walang kahit anong TV show ang maaring ipahiya ang kababaihan.”

Sinabi din ni MTRCB Chairman Eugenio Villareal na ang naturang

hamon ay maaring labag sa values ng pamilya. Labag din ito sa media agreement na naglalayong ipatupad ang Magna Carta On Women, na nagsusulong ng positibong imahe ng kababaihan.

Hindi naman nabahala ang host ng PBB All In na si Toni Gonzaga sa kinakarap na issue ng programa. Ayon sa kanya, “Alam naman ng ‘PBB’ ‘yung limitation niya. Everything is just really to test a person’s principle and values na kinalakihan.”

Makikipagtulungan ang ABS-CBN sa MTRCB para malutas ang issue.

Positibo si MTRCB Chairman Vilareal na mareresolba ang issue sa pwersa at diwa ng self-regulation ng mga TV network.

JESSY MENDIOLA ADMITS BEING INTIMIDATED

BY JOHN LLOYD CRUZ

C

urrently working on her newest movie project, Jessy Mendiola admitted she faces her biggest acting challenge yet as she works with co-star John Lloyd Cruz and director Chito Rono. Jessy said the yetuntitled film has undergone some changes since the original version late last year.

“Actually mag-sa-start kami ulit this month kasi medyo naantala, nag-revise ng script so mas pinaganda nila, mas gusto nila na mas pag-aralan yung script kasi very

different siya from other films eh. Hindi siya totally a romantic comedy, para siyang advocacy din kasi kakaiba siya. Thriller romance suspense, ganun siya,” she shared.

The 21-year-old actress said she feels honored to get the chance to work with one of the country’s top leading men, but was intimidated when they first shot scenes for the movie. “Sobrang bait niya pero kapag in character siya huwag ka ng umasa na siya pa rin si John Lloyd kasi iba, siya na talaga yung character sa movie. Kinabahan ako nung unang shooting day kasi grabe ang galing niya, hindi siya masalita. Alam mong nandun na yung emotion niya unang eksena pa lang namin, no lines pero ang galing niya.

Kaya nakakatuwa din kasi tinutulungan din niya ako. Kumbaga hindi niya pinapa-feel na kakabahan ka or ma-i-intimidate ka.

Tapos dagdagan mo pa ng Direk Chito di ba?

Sobrang kabado ako nung first day ko halos mamawis mawis yung kili-kili ko lagi,” she admitted.

Jessy admitted that she is always trying to get better with each acting project and hopes she can get considered for an award someday. “Oo naman. Yes kasi minsan lang ako mabigyan ng ganitong klaseng role so gusto ko talagang pagbutihan. Sana,” she said.

Even though she reportedly had suitors in Sam Milby, Jake Cuenca, and the Teng

brothers, Jessy said she is most happy with her new Colombian friend Sebastian Gasca whom she recently met in Boracay and got to spend time with in Jeju isalnd in Korea.

“Nakakatuwa naman kasi ngayon lang ako nakikita ng mga tao na pag nag-ku-kuwento sa isang tao, masaya. So siguro nagugulat lang din sila sa akin. Ako din naman nagugulat sa sarili ko kasi kakakilala ko lang sa kanya pero somehow I’m willing to get to know him more. I want to get to know him more and in the matters of love life meron akong wall, medyo hindi ako ready. I’m not saying that now I’m ready, it’s just the fact that I’ve met someone like him and he said that he met someone like me despite yung buong year na nag-ta-travel siya kami daw yung tumatak sa kanya and that really means something. Akalain niyo naman, foreigner ma-e-enganyong kausapin ako. And type ko mga dark kaya nung magkausap kami, sabi ko, ‘How old are you?” tapos sabi niya 19 so inisip ko, ‘My gosh, he’s so young.’ I’m turning 22 this year so three years. Konti lang naman pero mature siya for his age and siguro dun muna ako sa feeling na masaya,” she said.

Jessy said she is not disappointed with the guys who were once vocal about their intentions for her, but never really ended up in a relationship. “Siguro kasi desisyon

din naman nila yun na sabihin sa mga tao yun, yung ligawan. Hindi ko na kasi hawak yun.

Kumbaga nangyari na rin yung nangyari na nagsabi sila na manliligaw sila, they like someone.

Siguro it just didn’t work out, ganun ka-

simple. There are things that will work out and there are things that don’t so I guess nandun tayo dun sa hindi nag-work out.

But we still talk to each other and Jake is very happy sa love life and Sam is okay.

Nakakasama ko pa sila sa shows,” she

“Natutuwa po ako at nalulungkot kasi dapat dadatnan ko po ang nanay ko at makikita niya po kung ano na ang nangyayari sa akin ngayon, kasi wala na po kasi siya eh, ‘yun po ang isa sa malungkot,” the singer shared during the launching of her first album under Star Records titled Rose Fostanes: My Way. Nonetheless, Rose relayed that she is happy that her siblings are witnessing the success that she is enjoying at the moment. “Masaya po ako dahil ‘yung mga kapatid ko natutuwa sila dahil kahit papaano daw, kahit na sa edad kong ‘to, nakahabol pa ako at ‘yung mga friends

ko po natutuwa sila sa akin. Marami pong nagpapa-picture ‘yan isa po ‘yan sa mga natutuwa ako,” she said.

Rose has been joining singing competitions since she was six years old until she decided to leave the country to work overseas. “Since I was six years old po kumakanta na ako sa mga singing contests. Minsan nananalo, minsan hindi po, kaya nong nag-abroad po ako, bale 21 years na po ako sa abroad and then seven years po ako sa Israel.”

Among the many singers in the country, Rose relayed that her favorite artists is a Filipina international singer like her. “Pagdating po sa panonood po ng TV halos hindi ko na po magawa dahil trabaho po talaga ‘yung nandon po sa Israel eh, pero gusto ko pong singer, isa

lang po ‘yan, si Charice, ‘yan gusto ko po siya dahil magaling po talaga siyang singer at tsaka na subaybayan ko po kung papaano siya nakilala kaya isa po ‘yan sa mga hinahangaan ko,” she said.

After releasing her debut album in the country, Rose is set to fly back to Israel.

“Siyempre po gusto ko po rin dito, kasi po mga Pilipino po at mga kababayan ko po kayo, pero kailangan ko po munang tapusin ‘yung contract ko under Aroma Music (her music label in Israel) for three years po,” Rose shared.

FABIO IDE ON HIS IDEAL GIRLFRIEND: ‘GUSTO KO TALAGA YUNG MGA FILIPINA’

rapanese model-host Fabio Ide admitted he enjoyed his recent hosting stint on Kris TV and working with Kris Aquino. “It was really nice.

She’s such a smart, fun woman to work with and I had an opportunity to work with her twice and sobra sobrang bait siya talaga. We went to her house, the whole crew to talk about the dishes that Pokwang was cooking. She’s a very lovely person.

Actually she keeps talking about her kids and you can see how much she really loves them. She really works hard for everything that she does so she deserves everything that she has now and I was really happy that I was able to work with her and I really look forward to doing that again,” he shared during the Blue Water Day Spa event held last May 27 at the Marco Polo hotel in Ortigas.

The model, who has also been dabbling in hosting, acting, and more recently, business, said he is enjoying trying different things. “I’m a big, big fan of acting. I like portraying different roles. I love action, but lately I’m trying to do more dramatic roles. I want to maybe change my image a little bit and prove to the people that I can do drama so I am looking for new opportunities to do drama. I just have to study more Tagalog,” he said.

Handling a business is also a new challenge for Fabio. “Ever since I became part-owner of Gramercy, when I’m there on Wednesday nights I’m not just partying I’m working. I’m in charge of the models night. I do more acting and hosting now instead of modeling. I have two shows on TV. Right now we have a lot of gigs in the province. And since I became an entrepreneur so I’m learning a lot about business. It’s good. It’s something different than just being showbiz. There’s something new to learn everyday, from my partners, from the staff and everyone who works with me,” he added.

Aside from being active in soccer, the Blue Water Day spa endorser said he has always been sporty because of his genes.

“Yung tatay ko basketball player sa Brazil so a lot of people ask if I’m a basketball player because of my dad. He plays for the national team. When I came here, we started to promote football instead

because basketball is already so big here. But ever since even when I was in Brazil I love surfing so I always try to go to Zambales, Baler, La Union, everywhere that are places that try to make me happy.

Aside from being able to connect with Mother Nature, it’s very, very relaxing and you’re working out your body, your getting fit. Monday is when I get my massage so I can start the week fresh,” he said.

Admitting to admiring local beauties like Angel Locsin and Isabel Oli, Fabio said Pinays are very attractive to him not just physically. “Gusto ko talaga yung mga Filipina. Parang they’re very similar to the Brazilian culture. If they love you they really take care of you, they look after you, they’re very loving people so I really like it. Compared to the Brazilian women, it’s similar so it’s good,” he said.

Fabio said he is a faithful boyfriend when he commits to a woman. “I think every relationship, if you cannot trust each other it won’t work. So being faithful is the key to a healthy and beautiful relationship. If you are not planning to be faithful what is the point of being with someone, ‘di ba?

You can be honest with someone and say you want to enjoy your life muna ‘di ba? Pero if you really tell the person I love you and I want to be with you, of course automatically the person is going to think that we have to be faithful to each other.

So I think that’s the key to a really good relationship. If you’re dating someone dapat you stick to the person you love.

Hindi puwede to try different people at the same time,” he explained.

As one of the most popular Brapanese models in the country, Fabio hopes to achieve more in the coming months.

“When I’m busy I feel good with myself and everything happening around me. To complement that I always try to work out and be fit, eat healthy to feel good and in terms of lifestyle I try to be in different places with different people all the time. I love meeting new people exploring new places. I think that’s the secret to a good life. You have to feel good about yourself before you make other people happy.

Basta masaya ang feeling. I just have to keep doing what I’m doing now like having fun and learning from each job,” he said.

Paulo Avelino on KC Concepcion: ‘We tried to take it to the next level’

F

inally shedding light on what transpired between his intriguing New York sojourn with rumored flame KC Concepcion and their cryptic Instagram posts that followed thereafter, Paulo Avelino confirmed that they are not together.

However, he underscored that they remain friends. The actor revealed this during the recently-concluded pocket press conference of his upcoming Kapamilya soap Sana Bukas pa ang Kahapon opposite Movie Queen Bea Alonzo.

Paulo will be taking on the role of Patrick, a sexy chocolate maker who happens to be one of the leading men of Bea. “To be honest we had something special and we were special friends pero alam niyo ‘yung iba rin kasi… Siguro we tried to take it rin to the next level pero madaming [nangyari],” Paulo said. He continued, “Well first of all siguro ‘yung distance.”

The actress-host is currently in New York to study and to do some traveling.

Their distance, according to Paulo, has been a huge factor why their romance didn’t flourish. “Minsan kasi it looks so easy kapag malayo pero ‘pag kayo talaga it’s different and ‘yun lang talaga it’s the distance.”

Does he have regrets that their romance didn’t flourish? “‘Pag ganon kasi parang tinutuldukan na eh, I want to keep everything open eh. Ayoko talagang tapusin agad,” Paulo explained.

Despite the failed romance, he and KC still keep in touch. Moreover he claimed that, “Siguro kahit saan

espite being a highly-acclaimed actor, Paulo Avelino confessed that working with this generation’s Movie Queen Bea Alonzo made him gauge his own acting expertise.

In an interview at the recently-concluded pocket press conference of their upcoming series titled Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon, Paulo shared that they shot a titillating scene the first time that he and Bea went in front of the camera and he confessed that it wasn’t that easy.

But after having finished a couple of scenes, Paulo was able to prove home much of a brilliant actress Bea is. “She’s very organic,” described the actor who even highlighted Bea’s best trait as a colleague.

“Nirerespeto niya rin ‘yung fact na kahit sabihin mo na bago rin ako.

Nirerespeto niya parin ‘yung mga opinion ko, ‘yung mga ideas ko sa set. Kumbaga I’m really honored and happy na makatrabaho ko si Bea.” Since it was the first time that he got the opportunity to work with her, Paulo shared that that he got to see another side of the box office actress. “Kasi sabi nga nila di ba she’s this generation’s Movie Queen parang sa akin lang I never imagined Bea to be so bubbly. Masayahin lang talaga siyang tao. Dati kasi I imagined Bea na elegante masyado who is poised pero sa set hindi eh tao rin pala si Bea. Very bubbly,” he shared.

Now that he’s working with Bea, the only reservation he has is if he could measure up to her level of acting. He also dismissed any comparisons to Bea’s perennial onscreen partner John Lloyd Cruz.

“Hindi naman kasi ako rin napakataas ng respeto ko kay John Lloyd bilang actor kumbaga pero ‘yun lang nag-worry lang ako na sana mabigay ko ‘yung tamang level kasi para masabayan si Bea,” Paulo explained.

Meanwhile, eight years in show business and lot of controversies and intrigues later, Paulo claimed that he has yet to become used to the ins and outs of showbiz. According to him, he’s still “trying” and “adjusting.”

But does he still get affected by intrigues thrown his way? “Hindi naman pero more on the press people talaga kapag nagagalit sila sa akin kasi I never really talk about anything. I never answer anything pero parang naisip ko ngayon na from the start sila talaga ‘yung tumutulong sa akin since I joined the reality search sa kabila. Itong mga tao talaga ang tumulong sa akin,” said Paulo.

Paulo proved his “effort” to become more open to the press during the same event wherein he openly addressed what truly transpired between him and his rumored flame KC Concepcion.

naman po never naman pwedeng tuldukan ‘yun.”

As of the moment, Paulo said that he is single and that, “Walang pain. Happy heart. Bilang fit naman ako ngayon happy naman talaga ang heart ko.” He also made it clear that he’s not very keen on getting into a new relationship any time soon.

“Ngayon gusto ko na lang magpahinga muna at magfocus muna sa career ko. Napakarami ko ring ginagawa maliban dito. Pero this alone Sana Bukas pa ang Kahapon, pero this alone parang puno na,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Paulo also addressed the rumors that KC is pregnant with his child, an issue which began circulating after he came back from New York. “I think it is not true. Hindi naman, hindi naman. It’s not. Kumbaga nag-po-post naman sya ng kung anu-ano. She’s been seeing a lot of Filipinos,” he told reporters.

JC De Vera admits he can be intimate with someone without commitment

JC de Vera opens up about his love life and why he remains single Dalawa ang show ni JC de Vera na The Legal Wife sa Primetime at ang Moon of Desire sa Kapamilya Gold. Kaya naman walang bukambibig ang aktor kungdi pasasalamat sa lahat ng ito, “Like I said kanina, blessed lang ako. Sama mo na dun yung pagiging swerte. Ito naman hindi mo plinano, siguro si God meron talaga siyang right timing for everything. Siguro ito yung binigay niya sa akin na magandang timing.”

At lahat ng mga magagandang nagyayari sa kanyang karera at lahat ng kanyang tagumpay, aniya, ay iniaalay niya sa kanyang pamilya. “Lahat ito sa family ko. Lahat ito sa mom and dad ko. Ever since sila ang nag-invest ng support sa akin. Sila yung nandiyan lagi sa likuran ko kahit na anong mangyari sa akin kaya ang lahat ng ito para sa family napupunta.”

Pagdating naman sa buhay pag-ibig ng aktor, aminado itong pinili niyang maging single at huwag munang pumasok sa isang relasyon. Ibinahagi niya ang rason kung bakit. “By choice siya kasi magiging unfair din naman sa girl kung pumasok ako sa isang relationship na wala akong oras talaga so gusto kapag dumating yung time na yun makapagbigay ako ng sobra-sobrang effort dun sa girl at sa ngayon masasabi ko na sa ngayon hindi ko kayang mabigay kasi yun nga wala ngang time e.”

Ngunit klinaro naman ni JC na hindi niya sinasara ang posibilidad na umibig. “Wala pa, pero looking ako, hindi ako nagsasara ng doors ko if ever na may dumating.” Sinabi din ng aktor na sa ngayon ay wala talaga siyang panahon kahit na makipag-date. “Wala, wala akong oras mag-date.”

Natanong din ang aktor kung meron man lang siyang nagugustuhan o mapupusuan man lang sa kanyang mga nakakatrabaho o nakikilala sa trabaho. “Parang wala pa kasi kapag meron akong nakikitang babae naghohold back ako kasi hindi ko talaga mabibigay yung time and effort ko pero meron akong mga babae na kapag nakita ko, ‘Wow! Ganda.’”

Pero kung may pagkakataon siyang pumili kung showbiz o nonshowbiz ang kanyang gustong makarelasyon, “Hindi ako choosy pagdating sa ganung tanong, ‘di ba? Kahit sinong dumating, yun lang ang gusto kong mangyari na kahit na sinong dumating tatanggapin.”

Ibinahagi din ni JC ang kaisa-isang nais niyang meron ang babaeng kanyang makakarelasyon kung sakali. “Kailangan maging totoong tao lang siya, yun lang.”

SA AQUINO AND ABUNDA TONIGHT, tinanong ang aktor na si JC De Vera tungkol sa kanyang kontrobersyal na pahayag. Sinabi diumano ni JC na wala man siyang love life, “hindi naman nawawalan, kasi ang mga lalaki nakakahanap naman ng paraan.”

Nilinaw ng Queen of All Media na si Kris Aquino kung ang ibig bang sabihin ng pahayag ni JC ay pagiging intimate sa isang babae kahit wala silang “love relationship.”

Tumango si JC bilang kasagutan.

Sa tingin daw ni JC normal lamang ito. “Ganun ang mga lalaki,” ani JC. Sang-ayon din siya na “consensual at protected” ang ganitong klase ng intimacy.

Hanggang saan naman kaya ang gagawin ni JC para sa kanyang character sa teleserye na Moon of Desire? Sagot ng aktor, “depende kung saan dadalhin ng story, as long as hinihingi siya ng character.” Sa usapin naman ng frontal nudity ay, “hindi pa ngayon, but I’m not closing my doors.”

Tinanong din siya ng host na si Boy Abunda kung paano siya nakikipagsabayan sa powerful cast ng The Legal Wife kung saan ginagampanan niya ang character ni Max. Ayon kay JC, inspirasyon niya sila Jericho Rosales, Maja Salavador at Angel Locsin kasi, “kapag ‘di ko sila sinabayan, malalaglag din ako.”

Mayroon din upcoming na pelikula si JC na pinamagatang Once A Princess sa direksyon ni Laurice Guillen. Asawa siya ni Erich Gonzales sa pelikulang ito.

Sa tingin din niya nagbibiro lang si Ellen Adarna, co-star ni JC sa Moon of Desire, nang sabihin nito na willing siyang iwan ang boyfriend para kay JC. Ayon pa kay JC, “napakabait ng boyfriend ni Ellen.”

boxing his first love was actually basketball.

“Kailangan ko mapatunayan na hindi lamang sa boxing, kundi sa basketball ang aking gilas,” he said.

KIA is one of the three expansion teams that will join the PBA next season, along with NLEX and Blackwater Sports.

In a separate report on Tuesday, the WBO champion assured that he would be incorporating his knowledge and skills as a boxer in his new team. “Malaki ‘yung madadala ko from boxing kasi yung basketball, more on strategy at maraming different style,” he said.

Hard training, according to the Pacman, is what awaits his new team. “’Yung experience ko as boxer, madadala din sa training, kaya ‘yung mga players, maghanda na sila,” he said.

Due to league rules, the boxer was originally prevented from being a playing coach for the team without undergoing the annual rookie draft. “I’ll follow the rules and regulations of the PBA. Right now, my focus is sa pagiging head coach, kung pano ako

makakabuo ng magaling na team,” said the eight-division boxing champion.

“Lagi kong iniisip ang mga fans at ang kapakanan ng performance ng team KIA. Ayoko namang mapahiya sa mga big boss,” he added.

The newly appointed basketball coach revealed that he already has a list of candidates for assistant coaches and will be announcing his choices soon.

TONI GONZAGA TAKES CONTESTED PBB NUDE PAINTING TASK IN STRIDE

H

ost Toni Gonzaga remained unperturbed by the flak drawn by the nude painting task given

by Kuya to Pinoy Big Brother All In housemate Jayme Jalandoni which the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) took notice of.

“Lahat naman ‘yun task naman. Everything naman na ginagawa sa PBB under the supervision of Endemol, the one in charge sa Big Brother franchise,” she reasoned during the launch of her fifth solo album Celestine on June 10.

She even insisted that these tasks have been “approved” by Endemol. “Hindi naman sila gagawa ng isang bagay na hindi nila kino-konsulta sa isang programa.”

Just like the previous controversial tasks given to the housemates of the past PBB seasons, Toni underscored that, “Kapag nagbigay ng go-signal at na-approve ‘yon. ibig sabihin may kabuuang konsepto ‘yon na makakatulong sa tao na binigyan ng challenge na ‘yon. Alam naman ni Kuya ‘yon.”

While many think that Kuya has gone

overboard by giving the now retracted task to Jayme who is known for having conservative parents, Toni maintained that the show knows its “limitations.” “Everything is just really to test a person’s principle and values na kinalakihan,” she said.

Personally though, Toni has nothing against people who have no issues bearing their skin because as she said, “Ako kasi, feeling ko, there are people who can shed clothes for art. May mga taong kayang gawin ‘yun at may mga taong hindi kayang gawin ‘yun.”

Furthermore she maintained that she along with the show’s executives and producers are already used to raising some eyebrows every season. “I think sanay na kami. Every season hindi puwedeng walang isyu o controversy ang PBB. Sanay na. Wala akong major reaction. Ganoon talaga,” she said.

But according to Toni, she would probably have reacted differently if it was her sister Alex Gonzaga that was asked to do the task. If anything though, the PBB host said she was confident that her younger sister would not

MARIAN RIVERA ON DINGDONG DANTES: ‘WE BALANCE EACH OTHER’

M

arian Rivera opened up about herself, her dreams and ambitions, and her relationship with boyfriend Dingdong Dates in the Silver Anniversary issue of Metro Magazine released last May. ”Siguro kasi honest kami sa isa’t-isa. We’re like best friends at hindi mag-boyfriend/girlfriend.

Hindi kami nawawalan ng communication sa mga bagay na ginagawa namin,” she shared and then added, “Iba talaga ‘pag true love.”

Marian believes that their astrological signs in a way contribute to their compatibility, saying that, “Pareho kaming Leo. Extreme kami parehas at nagkakasundo kami sa mga bagay-bagay. Depende sa sitwasyon.”

For Marian, their personality differences complement their strengths and weaknesses.

Dingdong is known for being serious and formal while Marian is vibrant and straight-forward. ”Si Dong kasi... Example, kapag may nang babash sa iyo sasabihin nya, ‘Wag mo ng isipin ‘yun.

Hayaan mo na. Isipin mo na lang mas maraming nagmamahal sa ‘yo.’ Palaging nasa good side siya.

Never siyang ‘Ganon ba? Gantihan natin iyon,’” Marian related.

Marian further shared that even her beau of five years makes it a point not to take sides even if someone is directly going against her. “He would say, ‘Ikaw ang nakakaintindi, ‘di ba? Hayaan mo

na lang. Tandaan mo, lahat naman ng ginagawa mo, nakikita naman nila.’ Isa siya sa mga dahilan at nasa paligid mo na mabuting tao,’” the 29-yearold star said.

While Dingdong is her pillar of strength, Marian serves as the sunshine in the actor’s life.

“I’m playful. Jolly akong tao. Masyado kasi siyang seryoso so ako iyong nagba-balance sa buhay niya. Ako iyong magsasabi na ‘Halika nga, kain na tayo, smile ka naman, chill ka lang.’ Ako iyong makulit. Although, mas makulit na nga siya sa akin ngayon eh. Nahawa na,” Marian gleefully shared. (next page) While she is more verbal about showing her love, Marian recognized the fact that her beau is more into showing her his affection with his actions. “Ang hindi ko malilimutan iyong nag-set up siya na pumunta kami sa Spain kay Papa (Francisco Javier Gracia). Tapos date ko silang dalawa for Valentine’s Day. Nag-date kaming tatlo,” Marian shared about her visit to Spain in 2010.

Apart from honesty, another huge element in their solid relationship is their unquestionable support for each other’s endeavors. Marian maintained that Dingdong’s full support for all her moves, be it career or personal, is at a hundred percent.

accept the task.

In the June 4 episode of the show, Jayme initially agreed to do the challenge together with other housemates Daniel Matsunaga, Michelle Gumabao, and Ranty Portento. In the end though, her values and principles as a Christian eventually took over her which prompted her to turn down the task.

ko. Siguro isa iyon sa mga dahilan kung bakit pursigido ako at isa sya sa mga inspirasyon ko. Never siyang nakialam sa career. Ganun din ako. ‘Gusto mo ‘yan? Suportahan kita. Kaya mo ‘yan, okay lang ‘yan!’” Marian proudly revealed.

Asked for the greatest love lesson she could impart, Marian explained at length what she used to say in previous reports which many have misconstrued as submissiveness. She said, “Kapag mahal mo ang isang tao, matututo kang magadjust at mag-bend para mag-meet kayo halfway.

Kasi kapag mahal mo ang isang tao, ganun ang gagawin mo.

Mamahalin mo siya hindi dahil sa kung ano ang perfect sa kanya? Malalalaman mong seryoso ka at mahal mo ang isang tao kung tanggal mo ang kapintasan niya at hindi mo babaguhin.”

SARAH GERONIMO IS ‘PROUD’ OF RUMORED RELATIONSHIP WITH MATTEO GUIDICELLI

I

nstead of dodging questions about her personal life, actress-singer Sarah Geronimo this time openly addressed the recent photos of her and rumored boyfriend Matteo Guidicelli that circulated online lately.

“Eh proud naman kasi kami talaga.

Happy naman tayo,” said Sarah in a taped interview aired on The Buzz on Sunday pertaining to the photos of her spending time with Matteo’s friends while sharing a hug with him.

Recall that Matteo recently admitted that he is used to going out with the Pop Star Princess with the knowledge of the latter’s parents. Regarding that, Sarah couldn’t be any grateful that Matteo is taking the effort

to seek her parents’ approval.

“Siyempre talagang thankful ako doon sa tao kasi siya lang ‘yung ganon eh. Tsaka thankful ako sa mga magulang ko at sa lahat ng nangyayari, although hindi naman perpekto diba ang importante diyan maging thankful nalang tayo kung ano ang meron,” she said.

Despite being happy about her relationship, Sarah was firm in saying that she doesn’t want to work with Matteo because “Ayoko kasi na ma-tag kami na loveteam. Personal na naming buhay ‘yon.”

Meanwhile, what started as a mere coincidence ended as a confession for the hunk Kapamilya star when he answered the questions about his incorrectly sent

message to director Wenn Deramas in a taped interview on the DZMM program OMJ on Friday.

The box office director recently posted a screengrab of his conversation with Matteo wherein the athlete confessed to committing a “typographical error” after sending to him a message which read “good morning mahal.”

The radio program’s hosts Ogie Diaz and MJ Felipe directly quizzed Matteo via

a phone interview how he addresses his rumored girlfriend.

Something which he answered with,”Alam mo na ‘yan, nakasulat na sa text kay Direk Wenn Deramas.”

Ogie then opined that he sees how happy Sarah is these days and upon asking Matteo if he’s also happy, the former Galema star’s reply was: “Mas masaya pa sa masaya.”

SINISIRAAN KASI ANG A: CURRENT DYOW E SIKAT NA MAL PERSONALITY, SINUPALPAL ANG EX-GF

Supalpal ang ex-girlfriend ng isang sikat na male personality makaraang pagsisigawan nito dahil sa kanyang mga ipinopost sa social media laban sa kasalukuyan nitong nobya.

May pagkamalisyoso na kasi ang mga pahayag ng babaeng ‘yon, na tila hindi niya matanggap na matagal na silang wala ng dating nobyo. Oo nga’t nagbunga ang kanilang romansa noon (na katunog ng pangalan ng current girlfriend ng male personality), pero bahagi na lang ‘yon ng nakaraan na hindi na maaaring ibalik pa.

Sinu-sino ang mga karakter sa kuwentong ito? “Corporate jologs” ang form of address sa sikat na male personality.

“Heavenly” naman ang dating ng kanyang matagal nang nakarelasyon.

YOUNG ACTOR, WA LANG UTANG NA LOOB SA KANYANG SPONSOR DESIGNER S? Masamang-masama ang loob ng dalawang designers sa isang gwapong young actor na kahit wala pang ginagawang teleserye ngayon ay sikat pa rin naman.

Ba’t masama ang loob?

Nabasa kasi ng dalawang designers ‘yung post sa instagram account ng aktor na masyado nitong pinupuri ‘yung isang designer sa kanyang suit na suot niya. ‘Yun daw ang best suit niya ever.

Nalokah ang dalawang designers, dahil ang sabi ng source, “Tama ba ‘yun?

Limang taon kang binibihisan ng dalawang ‘yon nang walang bayad, tapos, ina-acknowledge mo lang sa ig account mo, pero itong ngayon ka lang binihisan, super puri ka?”

According to our source, “Puwede naman kasing nagpapakatotoo lang siya, eh. Pero not in a tactless way, Ogie. Ikaw kunwari ang nagbibihis sa kanya for the last five years, tapos, ano ang maipi-feel mo pag nakabasa ka nang gano’n?”

Dalawang bagay lang ‘yan. Baka sawa na rin si bagets sa design ng dalawang designers, kaya ‘yun ang caption niya du’n sa post niya. O, talagang hindi niya ‘yon sinasadya na tactless siya at makaka-offend ‘yon sa dalawang designers. “Puwedeng gano’n nga, pero noon pa naman siya iniintindi ng dalawang designers dahil super friend nila ang kalabtim niya, eh. ‘Yun na lang ang iniisip nila. Pero sa totoo lang, alam din naman nila na ang daming production people na ayaw siyang katrabaho, pero ipinagtatanggol pa rin siya ng dalawang designers. Tapos, eto ngayon. Biktima pa pala sila ng kataklesahan niya! Hahaha!”

O, sa dalawang designers: wag nang magdilim ang inyong paningin, dahil pasasaan ba’t magkakaroon din ng realization ang bagets someday. Malay n’yo, kayo din pala ang tatahi sa damit pangkasal ni Bagets, di ba?

SIKAT NA AKTOR, APEKTADONGAPEKTADO SA NANGYARI SA LOVELIFE NG ANAK The phrase “overly affected” seems to be an understatement para ilarawan ang nadarama ngayon ng isang sikat na aktor for his daughter who recently severed her romantic ties with her actor-boyfriend.

Pakiramdam ng amang aktor ay agrabyado raw ang kanyang anak, that is, kung paniniwalaang may third party involved sa breakup na ‘yon on the part of the younger actor.

Sa pagkainis ng tatay ay hindi raw ito napigilang magdayalog sa anak ng, “Ano’ng gusto mong gawin ko?” Apparently with an intention to get even, pakiusap na lang ng anak na, “‘Pa, huwag na lang.”

Public knowledge na mula sa palabang angkan ang amang aktor, na itago na lang natin sa alyas na Ruben Pajarillo.

YOUNG ACTOR NA MAY S, BINA-BLAC KM MGA SE X VIDEO AIL Sinampulan ako ng nag-direct message sa ? akin sa twitter, by sending me the screen shot ng isang aspiring young actor na si Y, habang ito’y nakikipag-video chat sa isang napakagandang girl.

Inamin ito sa akin ng naturang young actor, kaya siya mismo’y inis na inis at aminado siyang naisahan siya ng ka-video chat niyang isang magandang girl kung saan may maselang nangyari sa kanila via webcam.

At eto na, hindi pa ‘yon natatapos doon. Ito pala’y ginagawang collections na eventually (wag naman sana) ay ibebenta o ipangba-blackmail sa mga sangkot na young actors para pagkaperahan ng gumawa.

Kung paanong ang “mastermind” nito ay magpapain ng magandang girl sa mga biktima niyang young actors, na ewan kung paanong nakuha ang kanilang cellphone numbers. Halos lahat ng mabighani sa girl na artistang lalake ay niyayaya nitong magvideo chat kung saan dito ay ipapakita na ng girl ang kanyang dibdib upang makumbinsi ang ka-chat na magpakita rin ng katawan nito. Hihilingin din ni girl na sabay silang magpakita ng iba pang maselang parte ng kanilang katawan at sabay na gumawa ng maseselang bagay sa kani-kanilang sarili sa harap ng webcam.

Dito na inirerekord ng babae ang kanilang video chat hanggang sa magpaalam na sila sa isa’t isa. Bitbit ng girl ang recorded video scandal ng naka-chat na aktor. Since ito ay “collector’s item,” heto na ang mga clues sa pangalan ng mga biktimang young actors.

1. Nakilala sa isang matagal nang “bilog” search. Wagi pa nga ang beauty ni A. 2. At kahit hindi naman nagwagi si J sa naturang “bilog search” ay very active naman ito

ngayon sa paggawa ng movies and teleserye ito.

3. Itong isa rin ay produkto ng search kung saan ang wagi ay si “Yaman-yamanan Girl.”

Mukhang wala sa itsura ni bagets actor na si A ang mag-exhibition sa harap ng webcam, pero sorry, bahagi na ng collector’s item ang kanyang maselang video.

4. Medyo laos naman ang pangatlong si J, dahil hindi ko na siya nakikita lately. Siguro busy ngayon ito sa paghahagilap ng pang”matrikula” para sa mga anak.

5. Nakilala rin si R sa “ulan” este sa isang talent search, pero hindi siya wagi doon.

Ano na ba ang nangyari sa kanya ngayon?

Saang network na ba siya ngayon? Babalik na ba siya sa dati niyang tahanan?

6. Na-shock ako dito kay E. Kasi, hindi ko talaga akalain na ‘yang itsura niyang yan ay mauuto pa sa webcam samantalang andaming nagkakandarapa sa kanyang artistang girls huh! Gwapo naman kasi at ang lakas ng appeal eh.

Yan lang muna at kung mababasa ito ng mga young actors, baka puwedeng kausapin na nila ‘yung girl na ‘wag nang ipam-blackmail sa kanila ito, dahil tiyak na maapektuhan ang kanilang career habang marami naman silang gays na pinangingiti.

DATING NOBYA NG ACTOR-TURNEDPOLITICIAN, MAY SPECIALTY SA KAMA Isang lady’s gentleman ang actor-turned-politician na ito. No wonder, ilang mga kababaihan na rin ang nabihag dahil sa kanyang maginoong katangian.

Pero hindi niya inaasahan na kung matinik man daw siya sa mga chicks ay matindi rin pala sa pakikipagniig ang isa sa mga dati niyang nobyang aktres.

May “specialty” ang aktres na kung tawagin ay M.C., na ang ibig sabihin ay muscle control. No wonder din kung bakit dalawang tisoy ang nahumaling sa kanya.

Isa raw sa mga paborito nilang posisyon ay ‘yung bubuhatin niya ang aktres para ipatong ang kahubdan nito sa ibabaw ng mesa, at saka alam n’yo na.

Da who ang actor-pulitiko at ang aktres na ex-dyowa niya?

Itago na lang natin sila sa pangalang Ephraim Jacob at Aurora Nicanor.

U RBY E T AN AIN AGP AALIT M K G WA S NA RES U D A T ES R, N -ACTR NG AK O T AK HOST YOWA D SA NG In so many ways ay hanga kami sa aktor na ito, but why our admiration was instantly reduced to rubble ay dahil sa kawalan pala niya ng tapang to bravely face a sensitive issue involving her showbiz girlfriend.

Swak sana ang konseptong naisip ng isang palabas: isang controversial host-actress ang mag-iinterbyu sa kanya. While the public is fully aware that there exists a silent feud between the actor’s girlfriend and the hostactress, eh, ano naman?

Hindi naman sangkot ang aktor na ‘yon sa alitan ng dalawang babaeng ‘yon? Kaso, sa papel lang naging maganda ang konseptong ‘yon after the actor’s downright refusal to be interviewed by the host-actress.

Personal niya kayang desisyon ‘yon, o hindi siya pinayagan ng kanyang nobya?

Hindi ba nakita ng magnobyong ito ang sinseridad ng TV host-actress when the latter even sent them an invitation to her recent “artistic event” as a peace offering?

2 KAPUSO TALENT, TIVOLI?

Kung dumarami ang mga bakla, ayaw namang paawat ng mga tomboy, huh! Dalawa sa Kapuso network ang pinagdududahan ang pagkababae, huh!

‘Yung isa’y mahusay na kontrabida na hindi mukhang artista at malaki ang mga mata at never pang nagkaroon ng boyfriend in her entire life, huh! Mahilig din ito sa mga maiingay na lugar palibhasa’y rakrakista rin ito. Mahilig din itong magpa-tattoo, huh!

‘Yung isa nama’y mahusay ring singer na hindi rin kagandahan.

May pagka-Ai Ai delas Alas din ang baba nito. Boy na boy kung kumilos ito kahit mag-perform na naka-gown na.

Hay, naku! Hay, naku raw, o!

Hahaha!

BAGETS ACTOR, ?

NAGPAKULONG NG FAN

Ewan kung paanong na-resolve ang “kasong” hindi naman dapat magiging kaso kung hindi naman pinalaki pa ng isang gwapong young actor ang isyu.

Dapat sana’y dinededma na lamang niya, pero “big deal” sa kanya ang nangyari.

Ganito kasi ‘yon. Just recently ay nagkaroon ng mall show sa isang probinsiya ang young actor.

At habang umaawit ay tinitilian, pinapalakpakan at para nang mga baliw ang ibang fans sa kanya mahawakan lang siya, makamayan, mangitian. Siyempre, probinsiya at talagang “fiesta” sa mga kababayan natin na may nagpupuntang artista sa kanila.

Eto na. Habang umaawit ang bagets ay merong isang 13-year old na bading ang nanggigil at nu’ng magawi sa puwesto nito sa gilid ng stage ang umaawit na bagets ay bigla nitong sinunggaban ang hita nito at super niyakap ng baklita.

Nakuha pang ngumiti naman ng bagets sa kabila no’n, pero matapos ang kanyang performance ay ipinatawag daw nito ang baklita at tinalakan, pagkatapos ay ipinakulong.

‘Yun ang unang version. Ang second version ay ang mga tagaroon na raw ang gumawa ng paraan at idiniteyn ang baklita sa barangay dahil sa ginawa nito. Na nu’ng makarating ito kay bagets actor ay wala man lamang itong ginawa, kung ‘di dumedma sa pagkaka-detain ng batang bading.

Ewan kung alin dito ang totoo o totoong merong naganap na ganito, pero hindi ganito ang eksaktong kuwento. Ganumpaman, hindi ko naman ito 100% pinaniniwalaan, dahil alam n’yo naman ang kuwento, pasalin-salin kung minsan. Pero KUNG SAKALI na ito man ay totoo as in “dumedma” lang ang bagets at hindi man lang siya nag-exert ng effort para sabihan ang mga dumampot sa bata na ito’y pawalan na, dahil normal lang naman ang gano’ng senaryo sa mga mall shows.

Madalas nga’y bumabaon pa ang kurot ng mga fans o kaya ay nababatukan pa ang artista.

Ang nakakalokah ay kung walang nagkakagulo sa kanya eh me pangalan siyang artista, eh. Baka nga ang nanay nito ay nag-alala sa anak nito o kung may mga kapatid itong hinahangaan din siya ay gumuho naman ang paghanga sa kanya, dahil lang sa nangyari.

Kaya wish lang namin na sana’y ma-realize ito ng Bagets Actor o sana nga, hindi ang kuwentong ito ang totoong naganap. Kayo, me kuwento ba kayo tungkol sa kanya?
