Star Magic artists now Pag-Ibig Fund members
Star Magic artists marked the group's 19th anniversary by joining the government's Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), more popularly known as the Pag-Ibig Fund.
On Sunday, more than 90 Star Magic artists formally and officially became members of the Pag-Ibig Fund.
HDMF chief executive officer Atty. Darlene Berberabe said the stars are mandated by law to be members of HDMF.
"(You know) because of the law passed in 2009 na nagsabi na mandatory ang coverage ng Pag-Ibig Fund membership including the self-employed, ang [ginawa nitong] ating mga artista [ay] isang napakagandang move para maka-boost (ng membership). Kasi maraming nag-i-idolo sa ating mga artista kaya very important, very momentous ito para sa Pag-Ibig Fund," Berberabe said.
Stars like actor Jake Cuenca said the tie-up between Star Magic and HDMF is a really good move for artists.
"It's mandatory na for all of us artists to pay Pag-Ibig which is very, very good. Kami naman we are just really proud to support Pag-Ibig Fund. It's a good cause," Cuenca said.
Andi Eigenmann is pregnant, confirms mom
abs-cbnNEWS.com
MANILA, Philippines – Andi Eigenmann, who rose to fame by playing the lead star in the now defunct hit ABS-CBN teleserye “Agua Bendita,” is 4 months pregnant, the young actress’ mother confirmed on Wednesday.
An emotional veteran actress Jaclyn Jose faced ABS-CBN News in an exclusive interview to confirm reports that her 21-year-old daughter is expecting her first child.
ABS-CBN News caught up with Jose while taping for a “Maalaala Mo Kaya” episode in Antipolo.
“I just want to tell everyone that, yes, it's true, my daughter is pregnant,” Jose said. “Hindi madali pero kailangan kong tanggapin kasi anak ko siya at mahal ko siya. Wala namang ibang tutulong sa kanya kundi ako at ang kanyang pamilya.”
She said Eigenmann is exactly 18 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and she is doing okay. “I’m taking care of her, akong bahala sa kanya.”
Jose said the father of Eigenmann’s child is a former boyfriend who allegedly abandoned her daughter when he found out about the baby. He said the guy is the young actress’ first sweetheart.
“Wala na sila noon. Iniwanan sila noong nabuntis siya. I’m okay with that. I don’t want to talk about him anymore. I don’t have business with him. I feel angry every time I think of him but that's over na,” she said.
Eigenmann used to go out with Albie Casiño of “Mara Clara.” The 2 did not part ways amicably, with Casiño accusing her of cheating on him.
She is now being romantically linked to Jake Ejercito, son of former President Joseph Estrada and Laarni Enriquez.
“Siyempre, bilang ina, nararamdaman mo na until she finally told me everything,” she said.
Jose admitted that she got hurt when she learned about Eigenmann’s condition. She said she went straight to church after the young star’s confession.
“Una siyempre, ang una mong pupuntahan simbahan. Mananalangin ka. Ibigay mo na lang sa Kanya lahat. Sabihin mo, ‘Ama ikaw na ang bahala. Hindi ko kaya ito. Kung ano man ang desisyon mo, tatanggapin ko ito.’ Ang binigay niyang desisyon siyempre kailangan kong tanggapin,” she said.
She added: ‘Yong galit, ayoko nang i-entertain kasi nandiyan na. Acceptance na lang ‘yong sa akin… Andi is my priority, si Andi lang at ang baby. Silang dalawa lang ang concern ko. Wala na akong concern sa ibang may kinalaman.”
She said she is proud of her daughter for deciding to keep the baby. She said their family fully supports Eigenmann’s decision.
“Noong una, nabigla din siya. After a while, she decided to keep the baby at naging proud naman ako sa anak ko because, at her age, for her to decide on things like that… okay na sa akin ‘yon. I’m proud of her, of what she did, of her decision of keeping the baby,” she said.
“Tanggap lahat ng pamilya ko. Wala namang problema. Mahal namin ‘yan, mahal ng lahat ng pamilya ko si Andi. Alam niya yan, nandito kami behind her all the way,” she added.
When asked to give a message to the guy and his family, the veteran actress said: “Wala na akong hinihiling sa kanila, ni ayoko silang makita. Ayos na kami. Leave us alone. We’re okay.”
She also appealed to the public not to judge the young actress, one of the lead stars of “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin.”
“Alam ko may pagkakamaling nagawa ‘yong anak ko. Hindi ko sinasabing tama, ang puwede ko na lang sabihin huwag na lang husgahan. Bigyan na lang siya ng pagkakataon tutal buhay naman yan… humihingi ako ng pang-unawa sa audience, sa fans ni Andi,” she said.
“Pagkakamali in the sense hindi pa sapat ang panahon. Definitely, the baby is a blessing," she added.
She also said she hopes Eigenmann will be given another chance in terms of her career in show business.
Eigenmann, assured Jose, will finish taping “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin.” -Report from Mario Dumaual, ABS-CBN News

MANILA, Philippines – Actress and television host Iya Villania revealed that it is her dream to have a garden wedding.
In an interview with “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Villania said: “Ang dream wedding ko ay garden wedding kasi gusto ko surrounded ako by God’s nature, by God’s creations.”
She, however, did not say if she and her long-time boyfriend Drew Arellano already have plans of tying the knot.
Arellano and Villania started out as a love team years ago in a defunct television series. Their camaraderie spilled into real love.
Meanwhile, Villania also disclosed who her dream leading man is if given the chance to do a TV project.
“Echo, dahil I know that I can be comfortable with him whatever they make me do, alam ko magiging komportable ako. Pati si Rafael Rosell,” she said.

William Martinez fine after suffering from stroke
abs-cbnNEWS.com
MANILA, Philippines – Actor William Martinez revealed he is now well after suffering from stroke in November last year.
Speaking before “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Martinez revealed that he is undergoing therapy to get back to his normal shape.
“I’m doing fine. Therapy after therapy. Sometimes medyo mahirap... mga 3 more months okay na ako,” he said.
His estranged wife, actress Yayo Aguila, said she also looked after Martinez’s health while he was in the hospital.
“Hindi ko naman sinasabing totally ako lang [ang nagbantay]. Pero in a way I would say nandoon naman ako. Nagbabantay ako araw-araw sa ospital,” she said.
Aguila even added that she’s still concerned with Martinez because he’s still the father of their children.
“Kasi siyempre hindi mo rin maaalis kahit na hiwalay kami, nandoon pa rin iyong bilang tatay siya ng mga anak ko. At wala namang titingin talaga sa kanya kundi kami kami lang din. Pamilya pa rin naman,” she said.
Asked if there is still a chance for them to rekindle their relationship, Aguila said: “Kung may chance siguro sana noon pa noong bago pa lang. Ako kasi ang tipo ng taong once I decide on something, kapag gumawa ka ng isang malaking malaking desisyon sa buhay mo, dapat pinag-isipan mo iyon. Once na ginawa mo iyon, panindigan mo na iyon.”
Meanwhile, Martinez laughed off rumors claiming he already has a new girlfriend.
“Wala akong love life. Marami lang akong friends na babae at lalaki... pero syota wala,” he said.
Aguila, on the other hand, said it’s totally fine with her if Martinez finds a new love.
“Natatawa ako kasi hindi ko alam iyan ah. Kung mayroon man, nako I’m so happy for him talaga. Gusto kong magkaroon naman siya ng somebody ‘di ba? Somebody na worth it, somebody na aalagaan siya,” she said.
KC thanks fans overseas
abs-cbnNEWS.com
MANILA, Philippines – Actress KC Concepcion said she is happy because a number of Kapamilyas abroad went out of their way to attend the international premiere of her movie with actor Sam Milby in New York.
Concepcion arrived in Manila Tuesday and told “Showbiz News Ngayon” that she is very grateful for the support “Forever and a Day” is receiving.
“Maraming nagpunta so nakakatuwa kasi marami rin talaga palang Pilipino sa Amerika. Nagpapasalamat kami siyempre sa producer namin...dahil sa kanya, sa tiwala niya sa amin at sa pelikula, nadala namin sa New York ang Forever and a Day,” she said.
Meanwhile, Concepcion clarified why Milby was not with her.
“Si Sam binisita ang daddy niya sa Ohio because nagkasakit ang daddy niya, naospital. I think he said it sa Twitter niya. I think he’s there na with his family and araw araw niyang kausap sa telepono ang mga magulang niya,” she said.
In a separate interview, Milby said since he’s already in US, he decided to visit his family and spend time with them.
“Nakakatakot ngayon. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of him actually being confined in the hospital. He’s 66 years old and he’s very strong.... I’m going to go home before I go back to the Philippines to spend some time with them,” he said.

Derek Ramsay married?
abs-cbnNEWS.com
MANILA, Philippines - Amid all the blessings coming his way, actor Derek Ramsay now faces another controversy involving his relationship with actress Angelica Panganiban.
ABS-CBN News was able to get hold of a marriage contract from the National Statistics Office (NSO) showing that "Derek Arthur Ramsay" got married to a 21-year-old "Mary Christine Jolly" last April 3, 2002.
Mayor Reinaldo Castro allegedly wed the two at his office in Balagtas, Bulacan around 3 p.m.
The marriage contract states that Jolly is an Indian-Filipino born in Las Piñas.
Two witnesses signed the marriage contract.
ABS-CBN News sought the help of a family lawyer assess the contract.
According to Atty. Jean Ferry, the marriage is still considered legal because the contract does not contain any annotation of nullification.
An annotation of nullification would mean that a marriage is null and void.
“If the certificate of marriage has no annotation that is required, then on its face, the marriage is still subsisting and still valid...To other persons, he is still married,” Ferry said.
Legal options mulled
In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, both Ramsay and Panganiban bravely addressed the controversy.
“My lawyers are taking care of the various legal options that we have and handle the issue. It’s being taken care of as we speak,” said Ramsay.
Ramsay revealed he considers this issue personal and sensitive. He, however, clarified that this one is no different from the previous intrigues he and Panganiban have had to face.
“This is a very personal matter which I'll share with everyone... For me, just like all the other intrigues that happen every month, I'll focus on work, and for those who have given support, I want to say thank you and to let you know that she (Angelica) stands by me and our relationship is very strong,” Ramsay said..
“Siyempre, gusto naming harapin na masaya, ‘di ba? So tina-try namin ang best namin na labanan ito, na okay kami,” Panganiban said.
Both Ramsay and Panganiban have decided to maintain a positive outlook in life despite the negative issues they have had to confront.
Meanwhile, the alleged wife of Ramsay is keeping mum and is reported to be living outside the Philippines. - Report from Ginger Conejero, ABS-CBN News
'Amigo's' premiere held at Trinoma
MANILA, Philippines – The premiere of the Filipino-American War film “Amigo” was held Tuesday night at the Trinoma mall in Quezon City.
Veteran Filipino stars attended the event including Joel Torre, lead star of the film, and Rio Locsin. Hollywood director and producer John Sayles, who wrote and directed the movie, also attended.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Sayles (Silver City, Lone Star and The Spiderwick Chronicles) said the film is not just a dramatic human story.
It also attempts to retell the events that took place during the Filipino-American War in 1898, but are virtually “unknown in the United States,” he said.
“Generally, we win a war, we celebrate. There's [only] 2 other American movies ever made about this war in 110 years. It tells you that it’s something very controversial in the United States to the point that they buried the history,” the American said.
Sayles, however, clarified that “Amigo” is not an anti-American movie.
Torre lauded Sayles for his ability to piece together 3 different perspectives – the Philippine, American, and the victims' points of view – in one movie. “He was able to transcend race and culture," Torre said.
Sayles, Torre and another veteran Filipino actor, Ronnie Lazaro, closely worked together to complete “Amigo.”
Sayles said Torre and Lazaro helped him cast Filipino stars. He was very impressed not just by Torre’s acting skill but also his ability to convince Filipino actors to be part of the movie.
Torre said that although there are American actors in the film, it is 99% Filipino.
Aside from Torre, Lazaro and Locsin, Bodjie Pascua and American actor Chris Cooper also starred in “Amigo.”
An exhibit featuring Filipino costumes and military uniforms of Spanish, American and Filipino revolutionaries were also on display outside the cinema during premiere night.
“Amigo” will have a Philippine showing on July 6. It will also be screened in the US in August this year. -Report from Mario Dumaual, ABS-CBN News

Andi Eigenmann - Pregnant?
Maugong ang usap-usapan sa loob ng showbiz tungkol sa isang young actress na diumano'y nagdadalang-tao ngayon.
Nagsimula ito bilang blind item sa isang blog noong June 23. Wala pang isang linggo, lumitaw ang pangalan ni Andi Eigenmann sa mga Internet sites, at napag-usapan na rin sa isang intimate event ng mga showbiz insiders.
Si Andi ay anak ng multi-awarded actors na sina Jaclyn Jose at Mark Gil. Una siyang lumabas sa Prinsesa ng Banyera noong 2007. Pero ang kanyang biggest break ay ang pagganap bilang female lead sa Agua Bandita noong 2010.
Sa "Next Big Thing" list na inilabas ng YES! magazine nito lamang April, isa si Andi sa mga sinasabing mabibigyan ng mga malalaking projects sa taong ito.
Kasalukuyang napapanood ang young actress sa ABS-CBN primetime series na Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. Pagkatapos nito, sinasabing siya ang napipisil na gumanap sa Galema, Ang Anak ni Zuma.
NO CONFIRMATION YET FROM ANDI'S CAMP. Umabot na sa networking sites ang haka-haka, pero at press time, wala pang anumang kumpirmasyon mula sa kampo ni Andi.
Sinubukan ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na kunan ng pahayag ang mga namamahala sa career ni Andi—ang Star Magic ng ABS-CBN at Icons Celebrity Marketing—upang alamin kung totoo nga ang balita.
Dalawang text messages at dalawa ring messages sa Facebook ang ipinadala ng associate editor ng PEP na si Rommel Llanes kay Rianna Gatus ng Icons kaninang hapon, June 27. Pero wala pa kaming nakukuhang sagot mula sa kanya.
Sinubukan din naming tawagan si Rianna sa kanyang cell phone, pero nagri-ring lamang ang kanyang numero.
Heto naman ang official statement ng Star Magic na ipinadala via text ng publicist nitong si Thess Gubi sa managing editor ng PEP na si Karen Pagsolingan:
"As far as Star Magic is concerned, Andi is taping at the set of Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. Questions regarding her pregnancy should be addressed [to] the family. Thanks."
Sinubukan din ng PEP congtributor na si William Reyes na kunan ng pahayag ang ina ni Andi na si Jaclyn Jose sa pamamagitan ng manager nito na si Ed Instrella.
Pero ang sagot ni Ed sa pamamagitan ng text (published as is): "She doesn't talk to about and i dönt ask."
Samantala, nakausap ng PEP ang isang source na payak na nagsabing, "Totoo."
Hindi na ito nagdagdag pa ng anumang detalye, ngunit naniniwala ang PEP na reliable ang source na ito.
Naunang naugnay ang pangalan ni Andi sa young actor na si Albie Casiño, na naging bahagi ng Mara Clara. Pero bago pa man nailunsad si Andi sa Agua Bendita noong nakaraang taon, nag-break na ang dalawa.
Sa mga previous interviews ni Andi, naging maingat ito sa pagsagot sa tuwing ang topic ay nadadako sa kanyang personal relations.
Kamakailan, nakita siya sa red carpet event ng L'Oreal kasama si Jake Ejercito, ang binatang anak ng dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada sa dating aktres na si Laarni Enriquez.
Pero walang anumang paliwanag na galing mismo sa dalaga tungkol sa frequent sightings sa kanya at ng binata, na ngayon ay nag-aaral sa London.
Bukas ang PEP sa anumang pahayag meron ang dalaga, na nag-celebrate ng kanyang 21st birthday noong June 25, at ng iba pang taong nabanggit dito.

Sexy Talk with Vice Ganda
FUNFARE By Ricardo F. Lo The Philippine Star
If Vilma Santos is the Star For All Seasons, Nora Aunor The Superstar, Sharon Cuneta The Megastar, Maricel Soriano The Diamond Star, Ai-Ai de las Alas The Comedy Concert Queen, Kris Aquino The Queen of Talk and Boy Abunda The King of Talk, then who is The Unkabogable Star?
You couldn’t have guessed it — yes, Vice Ganda!
Didn’t you know that it was Vice who coined that word on Showtime, the noontime show he co-hosts on ABS-CBN, and that word has become part of the Twitter vocabulary?
Why unkabogable?
“Because he is the first Pinoy with the most number of fans and friends on Facebook, more than 3,311,831,” said Ogie Diaz, Vice’s manager.
Ogie also described as “unkabogable” Vice’s first solo major concert in May last year at the Araneta Coliseum and his launching movie, Viva Films’ Petrang Kabayo, which “kicked” P132M at the tills.
Will the record of Vice’s five-Sunday-old ABS-CBN show Gandang Gabi, Vice; and Eto Na…Vice Ganda!, his second concert set at the Araneta Coliseum on Friday, July 1, also be “unkabogable”?
It remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, here’s an “unkabogable” sexy talk with the country’s No. 1 Vice:
Who’s your big crush?
Move over, Lady Gaga, eto na si Lady Ganda!
“Lion King. Sexy naman talaga si Lion King, eh!”
What’s the truth about you and Jon Avila?
“Yeah, it’s true! And the truth will set us free. Dyahe naman kung ako ang sasagot, eh, ako ang pa-girl. Hahaha!”
Have you ever thought of undergoing sex transplant?
“No. I’m still enjoying it.”
What’s the craziest (pinakabaliw) thing that you’ve done for a man?
“I can’t say it. It’s unprintable.”
How can you tell if a man is only after your money, not your body?
“When he asks for the first and not for the latter.”
Have you ever been heartbroken?
“No, not heartbroken, just bankrupt.”
What’s the ultimate thing that you would do for love?
“Wrestle with the ultimate fighter.”
What is sexy to you?
“Intelligent is sexy.”
When do you feel sexiest?
The Unkabogable Star has 3,311,831 fans and friends on his Facebook
“When I begin to talk.”
Name three guys that you find sexiest — and why.
“Jon Avila (hihihi!); he’s physically sexy. Kean Cipriano…he’s sexy with his personality and confidence; and Jhong Hilario…he’s sexy when he dances; his talent is sexy.”
When did you lose your innocence…to a man or a woman; younger, older or your age?
“I haven’t lost it yet. It’s still intact ?. So, boys, come and get it!
Have you ever been sexually harassed?
“All the time.”
Sexiest part of a man’s body.
“His nipples.”
Sexiest part of your body.
“My tongue.”
Sexiest song.
“Teach Me How To Dougie.”
Sexiest musical instrument.
“The organ.”
Sexiest book.
“Noli Me Tangere.”
Sexiest time of day.
“Every time I wake up.”
Sexiest part of the house.
“The restroom.”
Sexiest perfume.
“Jovan. Hehehe!”
Sexiest food.
“Hotdog, turon and lengua.”
Sexiest attire.
“Boxer shorts.”
Sexiest flower.
‘When do I feel sexiest? When I begin to talk.’
“White Flower ?.”
Sexiest billboard.
“Ellen Lising’s billboard.”
Sexiest TV show.
“TV Patrol.”
Sexiest scene he has seen in a movie.
“Nora Aunor’s hilltop scene in Himala.”
Sexiest scene he has ever done (in a movie or TV show).
“My naked scene in Petrang Kabayo.”
Sexiest thing he has ever done to himself.
“Picked my navel and smelled my finger.”
Sexiest thing he has ever done with somebody.
“I picked my navel and made him smell my finger.”
Sexiest fantasy.
“Bed scene with Kokey.”
What can we expect from your concert at the Big Dome (how different is it from the first one)?
“This might be my last Araneta concert kaya lahat ng pasabog, lahat ng hindi ko pa nagagawang sampol sa Showtime, itotodo ko na dito.
“To be honest, everytime I have a big concert, it really causes me sleepless nights. Ang nakakalokah pa diyan, nai-stress ako, kaya nagkaka-alopecia rin ako, dahil masyado kong iniisip kung paano ko pagagandahin ang performances ko at kung paano kong susulitin ang effort at pera nila para mapanood lang ako’t maging masaya. Ibibili na lang nila ng bigas, inonood pa nila ng concert ko, kaya ayokong puchu-puchu (so-so) lang ang concert ko, kaya pati ‘yung mga guests ko, binigyan namin ng moment na mapapatawa nila ang mga tao.
“I hope PGT’s Rico the magician and Alakim could watch, dahil meron akong gagawin ditong nakakalokah. It’s also a magical show. Hahaha!
“My guests are my best friend Toni Gonzaga, my lover (I don’t know if he’s aware, ha?) Xian Lim, Billy Crawford, ang panalo sa mga bagets na si Enchong Dee, ang kinaiinsekyuran ko ang kagandahan at kaseksihang si Cristine Reyes, produced by Viva Concerts, Showtime Productions and directed again by GB Sampedro.”

Angeline Quinto Embarks on First Solo Concert
Fresh from a momentous triumph, Angeline is starting to carve her own name in the music industry.

Abner Mercado 'Krusada' for the Freedom of Elderly Inmates
A year has passed and yet President Benigno Aquino III has not granted any executive clemency for senior citizens in jail.
Many of them are already suffering from different ailments and in need of love and care of their families. With their lives slowly fading away, is their still hope for them to get the freedom they have hoped for a long time?
This Thursday (June 23) in “Krusada,” ABS-CBN correspondent Abner Mercado will show us the sad condition of elderly prisoners by introducing us to three inmates from the Correctional Institution for Women (CIW). They were expected to be freed last December but did not get their parole.
Abner’s crusade for old prisoners began years ago in the investigative documentary show “The Correspondents.” After three episodes on this topic, he was able to help a few of them get out of jail.
This advocacy is close to Abner’s heart as he sees his own mother and grandmother in the lolos and lolas in prison he has spoken with.
Join Abner Mercado in his crusade this Thursday (June 23) in “Krusada” after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN. Listen, take part and be one in his fight. Because it takes more than words to make a stand.
Miss Philippines-Earth 2011 on The Bottomline
Muling sasabak sa matinding question and answer portion ang Miss Philippines Earth 2011 na si Athena Mae Imperial sa “The Bottomline with Boy Abunda” ngayong Sabado ng gabi.
Fresh mula sa kanyang pagkakapanalo sa kompetisyon na ginanap sa Puerto Princesa, Palawan, muling pag-uusapan ang mga bagay na may kinalaman sa kalikasan gaya ng climate change, paggamit ng nuclear energy, alternative sources of power, tree planting, climate change at global warming.
Lumaki si Athena sa Casiguran, Aurora at bago pa makoronahan, nagtrabaho siya bilang isang researcher para sa “Reporter’s Notebook” kaya hindi na bago sa kanya ang mga usaping bayan. Pinapangarap niyang maging isang ‘dokyumentarista’ gaya ng kanyang mga idolong brodkaster sa telebisyon pero inamin nito na hindi niya ipagpapalit ang kanyang korona sa kanyang ambisyon dahil naniniwala siyang may takdang oras para sa iba pa niyang mga pangarap.
Ano nga ba ang sukatan ng tunay na kagandahan? May importansya pa ba ang mga beauty pageants at titles gaya ng Miss Earth sa mga tunay na problema ng kalikasan ngayon? Ano nga ba ang silbi at katuturan nito? Ano ang mensaheng ipinapaabot ng mga patimpalak na ito sa mga manonood, sa mga bata at sa mga kababaihan? Ano nga ba ang posisyon ni Athena sa mga isyung gaya ng Reproductive Health Bill, Divorce, abuso sa mga kakabaihan?

Coco Martin and Maja Salvador Party in Tacloban City's Fiestavaganza
Stars of the now-trending Kapamilya teleserye “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin” Coco Martin and Maja Salvador, together with Kapamilya hunk Ron Morales, are now ready to party with Taclobanons’ much-awaited event—the Kapamilya Karavan in Fiestavaganza presented by ABS-CBN Regional Network Group (RNG), which takes place on June 25, Robinson’s Parking Lot, Tacloban City.
Coco’s distinct portrayal of his two different characters has been gaining praises not only from fans, but also from TV critics. His way of giving life to Javier and Alexander proves his versatility as an actor and how he has matured through the years as an artist. No wonder, Taclobanons love him too and are excited to see him live in the Kapamilya Karavan. That’s why, for him, performing for his fans is his way of thanksgiving.
“I don’t consider my Kapamilya Karavan stint as part of my job. It’s actually my way of thanking God for the unending support our fellows give and the blessings I continuously receive. That’s why I’m always motivated to travel and perform,” said Coco.
“Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin” still reigns on its timeslot. According to Kantar Media’s national ratings result last week, “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin” earned a national rating of 26.3% beating the rival teleserye’s 16.6%.
Maja doesn’t want to miss the Kapamilya Karavan, as she also wants to personally extend her gratitude to the people of Tacloban.
“Tacloban City’s Fiestavaganza is a time of thanksgiving for their patron saint. It’s also an opportune time to thank them for supporting our teleserye by giving them my best performance,” Maja said.
Kapamilya hunk Ron, on the other hand, would like to make the Kapamilya Karavan “hotter” than ever. “I’ll make this show hot. That’s for sure. Be there,” he said.
With all these big stars geared up, RNG’s Kapamilya Karavan never fails to bring happiness to country’s happiest and most colorful fiestas.
Don’t miss this joyous celebration! Catch Kapamilya Karavan in Fiestavaganza on June 22, 4p.m. at Robinson’s Parking Lot, Tacloban City. Also catch “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin,” Mondays through Saturdays, after “Guns and Roses” on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.

Is Sam Concepcion and Coleen Garcia's Closeness Making Enrique Gil Jealous?
Usap-usapan ngayon ang totohanang pagbabanggaan ng “Good Vibes” teen heartthrobs na sina Enrique Gil at Sam Concepcion. Si Enrique kasi and dating boyfriend ng co-star nilang si Coleen Garcia, na nail-link ngayon kay Sam.
Sa pagpapahayag ni Sam kamakailan lang na handa na siyang magka-girlfriend, indikasyon kaya ito na pinopormahan na niya ang ex ng kaibigan?
Kuwento naman ni Coleen, may “nakaraan” na rin sila ni Sam. Nagkakasama na raw sila dati pa sa mga show, si Sam bilang singer, at siya naman ay modelo.
“Nagkatrabaho na kami nung mga bata pa kami, mga nine years old. Pero hindi naman kami nakakapag-usap noon,” pagbabahagi niya.
Sa “Good Vibes” daw silang naging magkaibigan at hindi nagtagal ay naging close sa isa’t isa.
“Lahat naman kami sa GV naging close. Pero mula noong nag-start na ang taping, naging mas close kami kasi pareho kaming mahilig makipagkulitan,” aniya.
Pero hindi naman daw maihahambing ang relasyon nila ni Sam sa totoong buhay sa kanilang ginagampanan sa telebisyon.
“Sina Monique and Marc, napaka-emosyunal nang relasyon bilang dating mag-on. Ako kasi, masayahin akong tao. Kaya sinisigurado kong magaan lang ang pakiramdam pag kasama ko si Sam. Bawal ang negativity, dapat palaging positive,” paliwanag niya.
Samantala, kung tikom ang bibig ng dalawang lalaki sa isyu, totoong magkaka-hamunan naman ang mga karakter ng dalawa sa mas lalo pang gumagandang youth-oriented program na “Good Vibes.”
Sa hindi sinasadyang pagkakataon, muling magtatagisan ang grupo ni Marc (Sam) at Troy (Enrique) sa isang dance contest. Sa kagustuhang maibalik sa dati ang nabuwag na grupo, uudyokin ni Marc ang mga kaibigan sa Sinagdiwa na sumali sa Pilipinas dance challenge.
Pero bago pa man sila nakalalagpas ng audition, problema kaagad ang kakaharapin nila dahil lalaban din pala sa contest na ito ang grupo ni Troy na Bustamoves. Ito ang magiging ugat ng hidwaan sa pagitan ng magkapatid sa ama, lalo na’t isa sa Sinagdiwa ang nais sumanib kina Troy. Ito si Geleen (Linn Oeymo), ang nililigawan ni Troy.
Samantala, magde-desisyon na rin si Troy tungkol sa estado ng relasyon nila ng best friend na si Maribeth, gayundin si Marc at ang dating girlfriend na si Monique (Coleen Garcia). Pati si Franco (Arron Villaflor) ay susubukang maibalik ang dating pagkakaibigan nila ni Marc, matapos siyang mabuking na nakikipag-relasyon sa ate ng kaniyang best friend.
Abangan kung saan hahantong ang mga kapana-panabik na tagpong ito ngayong Linggo (Hunyo 26), pagkatapos ng “ASAP ROCKS” sa ABS-CBN.

Top stars take part in Star Magic’s 19th anniversary celebration
by: Bernie Franco
Ipinagdiriwang ngayon ng Star Magic ang ika-19 na anibersaryo nito. Ang Star Magic ay ang talent arm ng ABS-CBN kung saan nanggaling ang karamihan sa mga pinakasikat na artista ngayon. Kasabay ng nasabing 19th anniversary ng Star Magic ay ang pag-launch ng kanilang website na www.starmagic.ph at ang kanilang music video na ini-launch sa ASAP Rocks last Sunday.
Samantala, isang party rin ang ginanap sa ELJ Building kahapon para sa nasabing okasyon na dinaluhan ng mga Star Magic talents. Bumati rin ang ilan sa mga sikat na artista ngayon na kung hindi dahil sa Star Magic ay hindi sila makikilala.
“After PBB, malaking tulong ang Star Magic sa career namin, sa personal life (namin),” ani Gerald Anderson.
Sinabi naman ni Kim Chiu na tumayong magulang nila ang founder ng Star Magic na si Mr. Johnny Manahan o kilala bilang Mr. M at ang vice president ng talent arm na si Mariole Alberto. “Hindi lang pagiging artista, nandyan sina Mr. M at Ms Mariole para sa ‘min, para i-guide kami sa kahit anong paraan. Sila ang mom and dad namin sa showbiz.”
“Thank you so much sa pag-alalay sa ‘min, sa pagtulong sa pag-abot ng mga pangarap namin, thank you so much,” sabi naman ni Pokwang.
Dagdag naman ni John Lloyd Cruz, “Bukod kay Mr. M at Tita Mariole, sa lahat ng handlers na nag-aalaga sa amin, sa lahat ng mga road managers, namin salamat ho sa inyo.”
Dahil kontrobersyal na aktres, kaya nagpasalamat ng lubos si Angelica Panganiban sa pagpoprotekta sa kanya ng Star Magic. “Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng taon na ibinigay n’yo sa akin. Sa lahat ng pagproprotekta, sa lahat ng umaapaw na pagmamahal na ipinaramdam n’yo sa ‘min. Sila ang tumayong magulang namin dito.”
Sabi naman ng isa sa mga senior talents ng Star Magic na si Piolo Pascual, “Sobrang malaking pasasalamat sa tatay namin sa Star Magic, si Mr. Johnny Manahan at nanay namin Tita Mariole, sila ang nagpapatatag ng puso namin, sila ‘yung nagbibigay sa amin ng lakas ng loob to be the best that we can be and also our handlers. Lahat ng mga handlers na from the beginning sila ang naghirap sa schedules namin sa pakikipag-negotiate sa mga kontrata namin, sa lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay namin. Bago pa kami lumabas sila muna. Sila ang wind beneath our wings.”

Mariel Rodriguez says she feels happy to be friends with Robin Padilla’s kids
by: Bernie Franco
Accidental raw na nalaman ni Mariel Rodriguez ang plano ng kanyang asawang si Robin Padilla na pakasalan siya sa Vatican City. “Surprise nga daw ‘yon,” simula ni Mariel. “Tapos may nagsabi nga sa akin na taga-E-Live (tungkol sa plano ni Robin) so sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Babe, you know someone wants to interview me, they said… are we going to the Vatican?’ Sabi kong ganon, gulatan. Pero hindi ako nag-comment kasi hindi pa namin napag-uusapan, sabi niya ay sino’ng nagsabi sa ‘yo?” Ngayon nga ay hinahanda na ni Robin ang planong pumunta sila ni Mariel sa nasabing lugar para doon magpakasal.
Sobrang happy naman ni Mariel sa planong ito ni Robin. “Nagpapasalamat ako kasi hindi nawawala sa utak niya napag-usapan namin (ang kasal). I’m really very happy for my religion, more for me.”
In the meantime, bago raw sila matuloy sa Vatican ay uunahin muna ni Robin na dalawin ang kanyang mga anak na si Ali at Camille. Si Ali, na kanyang bunsong lalaki ay nasa Australia, samantalang nasa US naman ang isa pang anak niyang babae na si Camille.
“Nami-miss niya ‘yung mga anak niya, eh. Si Camille, I remember the first time I met her, we were in Greenhills. Tapos ang cute-cute ng reaction niya, “ Huh, oh my gosh, you’re Mariel!” aliw na aliw na kuwento ng misis ng action superstar.
Happy naman ngayon si Mariel dahil nararamdaman daw niya na bahagi na siya ng pamilya ni Robin. “Love na love ko rin silang lahat. Feel ko talaga I’m also part of their family. I’m really so blessed. Thank you so much na naging happy na ang mga tao for us.”

by: Napoleon Quintos
Marcelito Pomoy was hailed as the new grand champion of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 at the Araneta Coliseum last night. The 25-year-old garnered 19.56% of votes and bested the other 13 finalists in the second year of the country’s most celebrated talent search program. As grand champion, Marcelito was awarded with the two million peso cash prize.
From selling balut and ice cream on the streets of Imus in Cavite, Marcelito’s life changed when he auditioned on PGT 2. He immediately caught the attention of judges Kris Aquino, Ai Ai De Las Alas, and Freddie Garcia with his ability to sing with both male and female voices. Marcelito found his way on the stage of the Araneta Coliseum for the PGT 2 finale where he performed The Prayer popularized by Andrea Boccelli and Celine Dion.
Marcelito cried tears of joy hearing his name announced as the winner. He then thanked all the viewers who believed in his talent and voted for him. Making his victory much more memorable was the presence of his father who was mostly absent during his growing years. Now all that Marcelito could ask for is to finally have a complete family.
Placing second with 18.32% of votes was the tap dancing brother from Bukidnon, Ramonito and Norlito, known as Happy Feet. In third place was Freestylers, an acrobatic hip hop dance group from Calamba, with 9.46% of votes. For being part of the top three, Happy Feet and Freestylers won one hundred thousand pesos each. Meanwhile, the other eleven finalists took home fifty thousand pesos each.
The PGT 2 finale also showcased other world-class talents courtesy of big star performers like Zsa Zsa Padilla, 6 CycleMind, Aiza Seguerra, Gab Valenciano, John Prats, Jhong Hilario, Rayver Cruz, and Gary Valenciano. The results night also became the top trending topic on Twitter worldwide. Starting this July 2, season three of Pilipinas Got Talent is ready for its next search of up-and-coming stars.

Cathy Garcia-Molina says that the Sam-KC tandem is not competing with John Lloyd-Sarah love team
by: Rhea Manila Santos
After the successful showing of Forever and a Day at the box office, director Cathy Garcia-Molina says she has learned to deal with the pressure of coming out with a hit after doing previously successful projects like A Very Special Love and My Amnesia Girl. “Every movie kasi parang natatanong sa akin ito and opo, merong pressure and I would like to forget about the pressure kasi I’d rather concentrate on how to tell a good story again. Kasi totoo yung pressure, hindi masaya pagdating sa pressure ng expectations and sana more than to expect that this will be another blockbuster movie, sana mas ma-expect nila na ito’y isang magandang pelikula. Sana it will be a movie that will inspire you again. Ang major goal ko is for the viewer to come out of the cinema loving life again, having a different look on life,” she shares.
Direk Cathy says that people from all walks of life will be able to relate to the story of Forever and a Day because it deals with a universal theme. “I think in one way or another, I think each one of us has experienced loss, whether it be a break-up or in any form. Nawalan na tayo. And pareho silang mawawalan dito. Mawawalan at makakabangon. And I think ito yung pinakagusto ko about the film, more than it tells us about the kilig stuff sa love story, it tells us how to love and it tells us how to hope,” she explains. Direk also shares how proud she is of the work lead stars Sam Milby and KC Concepcion put in. “They were very good in this film. I was surprised, meron akong mga favorite scenes nila na talagang wow, sabi ko, artista itong dalawang ito,” she admits.
After successfully working on projects with the then untested tandems of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo, Direk Cathy says she is not bothered about whether the public would accept of reject the Sam-KC pairing. “It’s always naman a fear ‘di ba kung meron kang bagong tandem, hindi mo alam kung tatanggapin ng manunuod eh. Ang lagi ko lang sinasabi sa kanila, hindi naman kayo tatanggapin bilang kayo, tatanggapin kayo bilang yung characters niyo. So for as long as ang makikita nila onscreen is not you but the characters, sa tingin ko magwo-work. Naniniwala ako na yung kuwento ang magdadala ng bawat pelikula. So kahit sinong ilagay natin na artista yan, kung maganda yung kuwento at nakakakilig, papatok din,” she recalls.
The talented director also admitted that her latest movie does bear certain similarities to the popular romantic Hollywood drama A Walk to Remember. “Yes, I must admit there is. There are factors that are pareho. Lahat naman I think ng love stories may pagkakapareho but it was told differently and the characters are different so ibayung journey, iba yung point ng pelikula. Even if it talks about the same thing,” she explains.

Ricky Rivero speaks about ordeal
MANILA, Philippines - Actor-turned-director Ricky Rivero has sat down with "The Buzz" host Boy Abunda to narrate for the first time the harrowing experience he had suffered inside his home in Quezon City on June 13 and how he survived the ordeal.
Rivero was stabbed 17 times allegedly by 22-year-old Hans Ivan Ruiz, whom he met on social networking site Facebook a few months ago. Rivero survived by driving himself to a hospital.
During the interview, the director of ABS-CBN teleserye "Mula sa Puso,” who allowed Ruiz to sleep over at his apartment on that fateful day, admitted he had a sexual relation with the suspect but there was never a commitment between them.
He also said Ruiz wanted money from him to be used for the medical expenses of the suspect’s ailing father.
He also believed that what happened was a “hate crime.”
Rivero is pursuing the murder charges against him, saying “justice has to be served.”
Below is his full interview with “The Buzz.”
Abunda: Ricky, maraming salamat sa pagkakataong ito. How are you?
Rivero: I'm recovering well. Medyo masakit pa ang mga sugat kasi mas malalim 'yong iba doon sa iba... parang na-puncture ata yong isang area ng lung ko, yong right lung, so they have to put a tube.
Ito yong medyo malalim talaga.
Abunda: Ano ba talaga ang nangyari?
Rivero: Noong Sunday pa lang ng gabi nagkaka-text-an na kami ni Hans na gusto niyang mag-sleep-over sa bahay. Sinasabi ko sa kanya na medyo busy ako but he was insistent. Sabi ko, 'Sige.' Sabi kong ganoon. 'Pero mga 11 pa siguro ako pu-puwede.'
Sabi niya, 'Sige, hihintayin kita.'
Abunda: Ito ba ang unang pagkakataon na siya ba ay nagsabi na puwede bang makitulog?
Rivero: No, no. This is the third. Nakitulog na siya noong una tapos yong pangalawa na makikitulog siya was Thursday before noong Sunday. Hindi lang natuloy yong pagtulog niya talaga, tumawag ata yong stepmother niya sa kanya at sinabing dinala ang daddy niya sa ospital so kailangan niyang umuwi.
Abunda: So Linggo na ngayon, nagte-text...
Rivero: Sabi ko sa kanya, 'Akala ko ba binabantayan mo ang daddy mo?' Sabi niya, 'Lalabas na kinabukasan.' 'O sige,' sabi kong ganoon, 'basta magtext-text na lang.'
Anyway, to cut the long story short, nag-usap kami. Sabi niya, 'Mga 10 o' clock papunta na akong Quezon City. So, magkita na lang kami sa may kanto ng Edsa at Timog.' So mga bandang bago mga-12, nasundo ko na siya. Sumakay siya ng kotse, nagusap-usap nang sandali, dumating kami sa bahay, binigyan ko siya ng pantulog at nanood kami ng TV. And then, after siguro 30-45 minutes sabi ko, 'Parehas pa tayong maaga bukas. Maga-alarm na ako ng 6:15.'
Abunda: But in your conversation simula noong sinundo mo siya sa may kanto ng Edsa at Timog, did he talk to you about needing some help? Did he mention to you na buntis ang kanyang girlfriend?
Rivero: Wala, hindi siya humingi ng pera. Pero noong Thursday night na nagpaalam siya na uuwi siya dahil sa dad niya, inabutan ko din siya.
Anway, nandoon na kami sa bahay, nanood ng TV, nakapagpalit na ng pantulog, pinatay ko na ang ilaw tapos natulog na kami ng maayos.
Nightmare
Abunda: Mga anong oras ito?
Rivero: Mga ala-una.
Abunda: And then what happened?
RIvero: And then, nagising na lang ako, nandito siya sa ibabaw ko, tapos sinasaksak na niya ako ng sinasaksak. Noong dumilat ako, nakita ko na siya na nandito sa ibabaw ko akala ko para akong binabangungot and then tuloy tuloy lang siya sa pag-ganoon, tsaka ko na-ano na this is happening.
So, sinimulan ko na siyang labanan. Sinasabi ko sa kanya, 'Bakit mo ako sinasaksak? Bakit mo ako sinasaksak?'
Abunda: Anong sabi niya?
Rivero: Hindi siya nagsasalita basta tuloy-tuloy lang siya sa pagsaksak sa akin. So, nag-struggle kami hanggang nahawakan ko siya sa wrist, binaligtad ko ang pwesto. So, ang nangyari sa amin mula noong nakaganito ako (nakahiga) umiiwas, kasi nakikita ko, wala kasi akong t-shirt noong gabing natulog ako noon, so nakita ko na ang dami ko nang dugo.
So, yong nahawakan ko siya sa wrist, nagbaligtad kami sa pwesto. 'Yong na-pin down ko na siya...
Abunda: So ito (katawan) dumudugo?
Rivero: Oo, dumudugo. [Nakita ko] wala na yong kutsilyo. Sabi ko, 'Bakit mo ako sinasaksak? Tama na, tama na.' Tapos, nakikita ko sa mukha niya parang naco-confuse na, nag-die-down yong rage niya.
Abunda: Pero there was rage?
Rivero: Habang sinasaksak...
Abunda: Nanlilisik ang mata?
Rivero: Galit, nanggigigil sa pagsaksak sa akin talaga. Sa isip ko, 'Anong nangyari, parang maayos naman tayong natulog, wala naman tayong pinag-awayan?'
So, yong time na na-pin-down ko siya, nagsubside yong rage niya, tumakbo ako ng banyo kasi puro dugo na ako gusto kong makita kung gaano karaming tama meron ako.
Abunda: Tumakbo ka sa banyo, ibig sabihin malakas ka pa rin?
Rivero: Oo, wala akong naramdaman, wala akong naramdaman noon. Pag takbo ko sa banyo, binuksan ko ang shower, tumama ang tubig sa tiyan ko, nakita ko ang dami ko nang tama sa tiyan, ang dami kong tama dito sa tagiliran, dito sa chest area. Sa isip ko, 'Kailangan ko nang pumunta ng ospital.' Pag labas ko ng banyo, kukunin ko na ang susi ko, sinalubong niya ako ng tuwalya tapos tinalian niya ako sa leeg, nahiga kami parehas sa sahig. So, nandito siya sa likod ko.
Abunda: Ano ang intensyon?
Rivero: Dito nagsalita na siya. Ang sabi niya sa akin, 'Kailangan ko ng pera. Mamamatay ang tatay ko, kailangan ko ng pera.' Sabi ko sa kanya, 'Oo, bibigyan kita ng pera pero kailangan kong pumunta ng ospital ngayon na.'
Tapos nag-struggle kami, pumiglas ako, nakuha ko ang susi ng kotse ko, yong bag ko tapos tumakbo na ako palabas ng unit ko.
Abunda: Hindi ka sumigaw?
Rivero: Sumigaw na ako noong nasa labas na ako ng unit.
Abunda: You found your key, you walked out of your place, hindi ka hinabol?
Rivero: Sumunod siya, lumalakad siya pasunod. Patakbo ako, sumisigaw na ako, nakita ko na sumusunod siya sa likod ko, nakita ko ang isang kaibigan ko. Sabi niya, 'Pare, anong nangyari?'
Sabi ko, 'Sinasaksak ako, sinasaksak ako nito.' And then eksakto palabas siya ng gate, so nakita ko parang sinusuntok na siya ng kaibigan ko. Ako dumiretso na ako sa kotse ko, nag-drive-off na ako papuntang Heart Center.
Prayer
Abunda: Kailan ka nahimasmasan?
Rivero: Noong time na nagdri-drive ako papuntang Heart Center, ang pinagdarasal ko, 'Lord, huwag lang akong mawalan ng malay tao. Makarating lang ako sa ospital nang may malay tao.' 'Yon ang pinagdarasal ako, umabot lang ako ng ER. Hindi ko alam kung gaano kalalim yong tama. 'Umabot lang ako ng ER, Lord.' Nakarating ako ng ER. I was awake hanggang makalipat ako ng St. Luke's. Hinintay ko na marinig ko ang word na stable na siya.
Stab wounds
Abunda: Ricky, anong gamit niya na kutsilyo?
Rivero: It was a steak knife, it was my steak knife.
Abunda: So, it wasn't a bread knife katulad ng sinasabi ng iba?
Rivero: No.
Abunda: So, matalim?
Rivero: Matalim, oo. Matalim talaga. Hindi lang mataba yong blade.
Abunda: Oo, pero ito yong manipis ang dulo?
Rivero: Oo, patusok din ang dulo.
Abunda: Ilan lahat ang stab wounds?
Rivero: According sa doctors, 17. (According to him, the stab wounds were in his chest area, right side, upper part of his right leg, arms)
Abunda: What he's trying to say here is hindi niya alam kung ano ang kanyang ginawa.
Rivero: (Laughs) Pu-Puwede ba yon? Siyempre, may malay tao siya. Nagstra-struggle kami, ang tagal namin na sinasabihan ko siya na tama na, bakit mo ako sinasaksak, tama na, bakit mo ako sinasaksak.
Abunda: Galit na galit, you saw the rage?
Rivero: Gigil na gigil. Siya talaga, ayaw niyang tigilan ang pagsasaksak sa akin.
Denials
Abunda: Sinasabi niya hindi niya alam ang kanyang ginagawa, malaking kasinungalingan, oo o hindi?
Rivero: Siya lang ang makakasagot niyan pero hindi ako naniniwala diyan.
Abunda: 'Yong nagkita kayo, hindi ba siya mukhang naka-drugs, lasing, nakainom?
Rivero: Hindi siya nakainom, that I'm sure of. Hindi siya nakainom. Yong drugs, hindi ko masabi, maayos naman siyang kausap. He was, hindi naman siya madaldal talaga, tahimik siyang tao.
Abunda: Pero walang indication na naka-drugs ito?
Rivero: Wala.
Abunda: Noong nag-uusap kayo mula sa Timog pauwi, walang indication na may problema?
Rivero: Maayos nga kami.
Abunda: Walang indication?
Rivero: Wala kaming pinag-aawayan.
On Ruiz's claim that he tried to help Rivero, Rivero said: No, of course not, kung gusto niya akong tulungan bakit niya ako tinalian sa leeg, nanghihingi siya ng pera sa akin. Dapat nilagay niya sa tyan ko [ang tuwalya]...
Abunda: Para tumigil ang dugo...
Rivero: Correct. Wala siyang intensyon na tulungan ako.
Sexual relations
Abunda: Ricky, ang tanong ng marami, sino ba siya? Sino ba siya sa buhay mo? Si Hans Ivan Ruiz ba ay boyfriend mo?
Rivero: Si Hans Ruiz, nakipagkilala siya sa akin sa Facebook a few months ago. To make things clear, hindi ko siya boyfriend. Alam ko na may girlfriend siya. Wala kaming relasyon, magkaibigan lang kami ni Hans.
Abunda: All in all, bilang magkaibigan, ilang beses kayong nagkita ni Hans?
Rivero: 4
Abunda: Bakit mo siya pinatulog sa bahay? Did you have enough trust?
Rivero: Kasi ilang beses na din kaming nakalabas, nakatulog na din naman siya, it wasn't his first time na makatulog sa bahay. Okay naman.
Abunda: Ricky, you may or may not answer this question, did you have a sexual relationship with Hans?
Rivero: Oo, may nangyari sa amin. Of course, hindi naman ako magsisinungaling. Of course, something happened already in the past.
Abunda: Pero walang commitment, walang usapan na tayo?
Rivero. Maliwanag ang usapan na hindi tayo.
Abunda: Ako, parati kong sinasabi, choice nang kahit sino, ikaw choice ko, choice mo ang magpa-tuloy sa ating tahanan, pero yong choice na yan na walang karapatan ang kahit sino na manakit, pumaslang..
Rivero: Yes, of course. Siyempre, pinagkakatiwalaan mo nga iyong tao tapos ganoon ang gagawin sa’yo, hindi naman ata tama yon.
Abunda: Has he tried to get in touch with you?
Rivero: Wala.
Abunda: Anybody from the family?
Rivero: Wala pang kumakausap sa akin.
Positive identification
Abunda: How was that meeting?
Rivero: Medyo ninenerbyos din ako. Sinabihan ko din ang pulis at people who were with me that time na huwag siyang papasukin sa room.
Abunda: Bakit?
Rivero: Natakot ako. Hindi pa ako nakaka-recover.
Abunda: Take me back to that moment when you saw him.
Rivero: Yon, noong sinabi ng pulis na kailangan mong i-identify tapos bumukas yong pintuan, may lumakad na tatlong lalaki, naka-civilian, tapos tinanong ako ng pulis kung sino sa kanila. Tinuro ko siya. Tapos tinitingnan lang niya ako, tinitingnan ko din siya. Pagkaturo ko dinescribe ko kung ano ang suot niya. Yong naturo ko na, um-okay na ang pulis, I looked away already. Di na ako tumingin. Umiwas na ako ng tingin.
Abunda: Are you going to file charges?
Rivero: Yes... nag-aantay na lang ng subpoena kung kailan ang arraignment.
Lessons learned
Abunda: Paano ka nabago nito?
Rivero: Siyempre, nagpapasalamat ako sa mga nakakasalubong ko na kinakumusta ko na 'we prayed for you.' Naano ako sa laki ng maraming mga tao na nagdasal sa akin.
Abunda: Did you expect the kind of love?
Rivero: It was so overwhelming.
Abunda: Can you forgive him?
Rivero: Pinagdarasal ko yan araw-araw. Sa puso ko, siguro masasabi ko na in a way napatawad ko na siya sa ginawa niya sa akin. Pero he has to suffer the consequences of what he did.
Abunda: He's watching, ano ang nais mong sabihin?
Rivero: I have nothing to say.
Abunda: What is your advice sa akin, sa lahat ng nanunuod, sa mga bakla na nagmamasid sa pag-uusap na ito?
Rivero: Yon lang siguro, be careful, pag may times na medyo may pagdududa ka sa isip mo make sure na you inform your friends kung sino ang kasama mo at what point in time.
Abunda: Medyo technical ang tanong na ito, do you think this is a hate crime?
Rivero: Truthfully, Tito Boy, Hindi ko masasabing oo, hindi ko masasabing hindi. Pero doon sa circumstances na nangyari, itong lahat ng nangyaring ito, parang leaning towards na yes it's a hate crime. Pero in my heart, hindi ko maisip na may taong puwedeng magalit ng ganoon ka-grabe sa akin, or any gay person, na wala akong
ginagawa.
Abunda: Huling katanungan, gusto mo bang makulong si Hans?
Rivero: Kailangan. Justice has to be served.

Dominic says 'kontrabida' roles affect him
By Rhea Manila Santos, Push.com.ph
MANILA, Philippines – Busy with regular tapings for “100 Days to Heaven” and “Good Vibes,” actor Dominic Ochoa admitted that he has his hands full in both his professional and personal life as he is also preparing to become a father for the first time.
His wife Denise is 7 months pregnant with a baby boy whom they plan to name Jose Alesandro.
“I’m really excited about it. I’m not getting any younger. I’m of age already so parang gusto ko na talaga. And it’s a baby boy so how can you not be thankful to the Lord and yung binigay niyang biyaya. I want a girl after. Sabi ng asawa ko, ‘Ikaw kaya magbuntis ng siyam na buwan?’(laughs). I was thinking of naming him Juan Miguel pero parang one of those names lang so Alesandro na lang para something different. It’s an Italian name,” he shared.
Ochoa also shared how he manages to spend quality time with his family despite a demanding showbiz schedule.
“Sundays is really family day for me. I visit my parents. We visit my wife’s parents. We go to church, eat out, and we spend time together. Ito yung quality time namin with each other. We try to make it a point na eto yung time with the Lord, time as a couple. Para lang maalis sa utak yung trabaho. She’s in the business also. She does makeup so parang ganun din yung negosyo,” he explained.
The 36-year-old actor, who plays antagonist to child actress Xyriel Manabat in “100 Days to Heaven,” said that although he is used to playing villain roles, he can’t help but sometimes be affected by the negative energy from his characters offscreen.
“I’m the same naman, kenkoy din pero lately nga, I was telling my wife, may pagka-seryoso na rin ako. Yung tipong if I don’t get what I want, parang kailangan ko makuha yung gusto kong gawin. Hindi ko alam bakit ganun, siguro because of the roles rin I’ve been getting lately, yung pagka-kontrabida, nagiging kontrabida ako ‘pag minsan. Siguro it comes with the roles rin siguro that I’m doing, which I hate because nadadala ako, na-i-imbibe ko ng konti eh. Medyo tamed nga ito role ko ngayon then yung sa ginawa ko sa Rosalka. Ang asim kong tao dun eh. Ito at least medyo makatotohanan,” he admitted.
Having been in showbiz ever since he started in the show “Gimik” in 1996, Ochoa said he has always been happy with the way his career has been managed by Star Magic and Backroom.
“Hindi na ako aalis dun. Kahit ayaw na nila sa akin, hindi rin ako aalis (laughs). Supposedly, ayoko naman talaga mag-artista eh. It wasn’t really in my dictionary to become an artista but wala lang, siguro ito yung destiny ko na mag-entertain ng tao and I’m enjoying it so much. Sobra-sobrang enjoy na enjoy ako dito sa ginagawa ko. Every role na ibinibigay sa akin, parang it’s a challenge for me on how to make it different from the roles given to me before.
“I’m happy with the management.Itong negosyo namin, its either you make it or you don’t eh. It’s up to you. Actually hindi rin it’s up to you eh, it’s right timing, it’s also yung tiyaga mo, yung patience mo sa pagbigay sa iyo ng trabaho. At saka you can never go wrong, you’re with ABS-CBN. Ganun naman yung negosyo natin eh, honestly all you have to do is just wait, don’t transfer.
“Well, kanya-kanya siguro. Medyo nawalan ako ng show sa channel 2 pero actually kung tutuusin, meron din eh. Siguro hindi lang napanuod because it was an afternoon show, that was in 2007, yun yung anak ko si Coco Martin,yung Ligaw na Bulaklak. Hindi ko masasabi sa sarili ko na nawalan ako…yearly talaga meron. Hindi ako nababakante,” he said.

Coco Martin on Maja Salvador: 'Nakikita ko ang sarili ko sa kanya'
6/25/2011 7:19 PM
Coco Martin was quick to defend Maja Salvador against recent reports accusing her of being a playgirl. In fact, he said that it’s easy to see why she has a flock of admirers. “Nagkasama na kami una pa lang sa Nagsimula Sa Puso. The more na tumatagal ang pagkakakilala namin sa isa’t isa, the more na nagiging close kami. May time nga minsan pinapakain niya kami sa bahay niya or yung mommy niya nagpupunta sa set para magdala ng food sa amin. Kaya nga sabi ko, kung marami man nali-link sa kanya, dapat lang, kasi napakaganda at napakabait niya,” said Coco in an interview with Push.com.ph during the Star Awards for Movies last June 22.
When asked if it’s true that he’s one of Maja’s current suitors, Coco explained that it’s not yet the right time for him to pursue her off cam. As it is, he refused to take advantage of their growing friendship on the set of their current soap, Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. “Eh kasi napakabait naman ni Maj. Sabi ko nga ‘pag nasa taping, wala din ‘yan ginawa kundi magpakain sa set. Kaya minsan pinapadalhan ko din siya ng food kahit nasa ibang unit ako at hindi kami magkaeksena. Siyempre bilang katrabaho niya at leading man niya, dapat suklian ko naman yung mga bagay na yun.”
There’s no denying the fact that the two are kindred spirits given their similar humble beginnings and how it drives them to make the best out of their showbiz career. “Actually, pinag-uusapan namin yung mga ganong bagay. Minsan nagte-text ako sa kanya kahit walang specific reason. Nagpapasalamat ako sa support niya and then sa pagiging mabait niyang katrabaho. Nakakatuwa kasi para siyang lalakeng ako. Nakikita ko ang sarili ko sa kanya—yung pagiging humble niya, pagiging masipag niya at pagiging totoo.”
But Coco insisted that it’s too early for him to say if he is considering courting Maja for real. “Sa ngayon, ayoko magsalita kasi baka mabigyan ng kulay. Pero sa nakikita ko, isa siya sa mga babaeng hinahangaan ko.”

Iya Villania is thrilled to co-host ‘I Dare You’
by: Napoleon Quintos
TV host/actress Iya Villania is very excited that her upcoming project I Dare You will combine two of her loves: hosting and drama. Iya described I Dare You as very different from the usual reality shows that viewers have seen on TV. “Feeling ko ang kakaiba sa I Dare You, unlike sa mga teleserye na napapanood natin sa ABS-CBN na lahat scripted, dito sa amin totoong drama kasi totoong buhay ito. I Dare You will challenge people to live the lives of others, try what normal people had to do just to survive.”
I Dare You is the first collaboration between two productions teams within ABS-CBN, namely the entertainment unit and the News and Current Affairs group. “‘Yung malaking reality element ng I Dare You dun papasok ang News and Current Affairs. Meaning hindi ito scripted. Case study siya so everything about this is real,” said Iya who is currently seen as host of Umagang Kay Ganda and as a VJ on MYX Music Channel.
I Dare You will feature celebrities as they try to take over the everyday lives of normal people. When the challenge is successfully accomplished, the chosen guest will win a prize while the celebrity will take home something more meaningful. Iya shared, “Ang premyo talaga dito pinaghihirapan ng mga celebrities for themselves, but para sa isang bidang Kapamilya. ‘Yung mga subject ang makakatanggap ng premyo, ang matatanggap ng mga challengers is the experience. Sa tingin ko kapag nagawa mo na ‘yung challenge sa I Dare You, magiiba na ‘yung tingin mo sa buhay. ‘Yun ang mas mahalagang premyo.”
Aside from Iya, I Dare You will also be hosted by Jericho Rosales and Melai Cantiveros. Iya talked about what will be the distinct contribution of the wacky Melai in the program. “Mahirap kasi talaga ‘yung mga challenges kaya nandiyan si Melai para magbigay ng konting comedy para gumaan naman ng konti ‘yung feeling ng mga challengers, para hindi sila agad bumigay.”

by: Rhea Manila Santos
As a regular mainstay of Happy Yipee Yehey, actor-model Matteo Guidicelli admitted that the daily variety show has helped him improve in a lot of ways. “It’s a cool show, we make people happy and we’re just having fun. I don’t know exactly what has improved (laughs). Siguro yung Tagalog ko is improving with Happy Yipee Yehey. Masaya naman sa show kahit nabubulol ako or whatever, tatawanan lang ng tao. It’s just fun and they accept you for who you are and you can show your real self on the show. You don’t have to be showbiz or hide or anything. Just be yourself and sana they like it,” he shared during the Star Magic anniversary music video shoot held at Abrakadabra studios in Makati.
The 22-year-old Cebuano admitted he enjoyed being part of the video, which features Star Magic’s anniversary jingle “Ikaw Ang Magic ng Buhay Ko,” which was composed and sung by fellow Star Magic talent Yeng Constantino and directed by Paul Soriano. “Masaya ako kasi it’s my first time to work with Direk Paul (Soriano). I love Direk Paul, he’s a cool guy. I work with Toni (Gonzaga) for Happy Yipee Yehey so I’ve heard a lot about him. He’s very simple and it’s an honor to work with him,” he shared.
Matteo shared that admires the talented couple and he also looks up to Toni when it comes to her hosting skills. “She’s so talented. One day I want to speak like her. Kapag may idiot board, maraming mga salita dyan, parang she picks it up so easily and she’s very witty. She’s very smart. Toni’s very intelligent. Tinutulungan naman niya ako. She’s a very, very nice person. I didn’t know her that well before pero now I’m with her everyday and I got to know her closer and she’s an amazing person. She’s a perfect person. She’s really nice,” he stressed.
After signing up with Star Magic last year, Matteo said he feels grateful for the opportunities given to him by Star Magic heads Johnny Manahan and Mariole Alberto. “It’s a blessing to be part of Star Magic. Dati hindi ako Star Magic eh. Pagbalik ko galing America last, last December, they got me tapos they gave me Agua Bendita agad. They’re amazing people. Mr.M and Tita Mariole are like family to me. Kapag hindi ka nagsusumbong sa kanila, magagalit sila, kailangan sasabihin mo lahat. They’re always there for you if you have problems. Mr. M critiques you all the time to make you a better person and talagang parang pamilya yung Star Magic. Tapos yung mga handlers naming lahat parang pamilya talaga. Ang bait nilang lahat,” he explained.
Aside from his daily stint on Happy Yipee Yehey, Matteo is also busy preparing for Binondo Girl his upcoming show with Kim Chiu, a movie with Maja Salvador, as well as promoting his first digital single. “A different Matteo is going to come out there. I’ve never done this before so I’m excited for that. I also have another movie coming out soon called Basted. It’s with me and Maja. I’m very, very excited for that and I have a single out, it’s called ‘Someone Like You,’ under Star Records,” he added.
With a lot of promising projects, Matteo admitted he is very lucky to be paired with two good actresses. “I worked with Kim for my first ever project with ABS-CBN called Go Kada Go and Kim and Gerald (Anderson) just came out from PBB (Pinoy Big Brother). I think I’m closer to Maja now. We’re close. We used to work everyday and stuff. And then I’m going to work with Kim again soon. They already started taping, baka ako in two weeks pa. masarap din to work with Kim. She’s very professional. She’s cool,” he said.

Maja Salvador on Matteo Guidicelli: 'Darating tayo kung sasagutin ko na siya'
by: Rachelle Siazon
Maja Salvador claimed that she’s really flattered that Matteo Guidicelli is very vocal about his admiration of her not only in press interviews, but even in his live appearances in Happy Yippee Yehey! (HYY). “In fairness naman [nararamdaman ko na binibigyan niya ako ng importansya] lalo na napaka-vocal niya sa pagasasabi sa HYY na, ‘Si Maja ganito, si Maja ganyan.’ Gusto ko nga sabihin sa kanya, ‘Gusto mo ba ako masali sa HYY?”
But the pretty actress clarified that it’s not enough reason for people to assume that they are in a relationship. She also stressed that she’s not committed to anyone at the moment. “Hindi, wala naman kaming aaminin ni Matteo. Hindi ko naman siya pipigilan kung ano man ang gusto niyang sabihin tungkol sa akin. Desisyon niya yun, karapatan niya yun. As long as wala pa naman naapektuhan, wala pa naman akong ibang karelasyon, wala pang nagmamay-ari sa akin.”
When prodded that she might only reveal the real score between them once they’ve broken up already, Maja let it slip that it’s only a matter of time before she agrees to become Matteo’s girlfriend. However, Maja corrected herself later on. “Basta darating tayo kung sasagutin ko na siya. Hindi ko nga alam sa kanya e. Siyempre, ayoko magsalita na, ‘Ay oo [nanliligaw siya sa akin].’ Kasi baka sabihin niya napaka-assuming ko naman. Tanungin niyo na lang siya kung nanliligaw siya.”
Maja confessed that there are actually a lot of guys who are making her feel special right now. It just so happened that Matteo’s the most vocal of them. “Marami akong special friends. Si Coco (Martin), si Matt Evans, sila Matteo. Madami akong ka-close na lalaki. Pero si Matteo ang pinaka-vocal. Hindi ko alam kung kailan ako magiging ready. Personal choice ko [ang maging single muna] kasi madami din namang projects na dumadating tulad ng Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, may movie with Coco, movie with Matteo (Basted), tapos yung Thelma ire-release na din sa August, so yun.”
But is it safe to say that Matteo has all the qualities that she’s looking for in a potential boyfriend? “Mabilis ako ma-in-love sa isang tao. Depende sa effort nila. Hindi naman sa looks talaga e. Depende kung paano nila mahalin yung trabaho, yung pamilya, depende kung paano nila iparamdam na babae ka kahit hindi ka gawing prinsesa. Kahit hindi ka i-treat na prinsesa pero yung iparamdam sayo na, ‘Wow, ang haba ng hair ko!’ Ganon.”
Maja Salvador claimed that she’s really flattered that Matteo Guidicelli is very vocal about his admiration of her not only in press interviews, but even in his live appearances in Happy Yippee Yehey! (HYY). “In fairness naman [nararamdaman ko na binibigyan niya ako ng importansya] lalo na napaka-vocal niya sa pagasasabi sa HYY na, ‘Si Maja ganito, si Maja ganyan.’ Gusto ko nga sabihin sa kanya, ‘Gusto mo ba ako masali sa HYY?”
But the pretty actress clarified that it’s not enough reason for people to assume that they are in a relationship. She also stressed that she’s not committed to anyone at the moment. “Hindi, wala naman kaming aaminin ni Matteo. Hindi ko naman siya pipigilan kung ano man ang gusto niyang sabihin tungkol sa akin. Desisyon niya yun, karapatan niya yun. As long as wala pa naman naapektuhan, wala pa naman akong ibang karelasyon, wala pang nagmamay-ari sa akin.”
When prodded that she might only reveal the real score between them once they’ve broken up already, Maja let it slip that it’s only a matter of time before she agrees to become Matteo’s girlfriend. However, Maja corrected herself later on. “Basta darating tayo kung sasagutin ko na siya. Hindi ko nga alam sa kanya e. Siyempre, ayoko magsalita na, ‘Ay oo [nanliligaw siya sa akin].’ Kasi baka sabihin niya napaka-assuming ko naman. Tanungin niyo na lang siya kung nanliligaw siya.”

Ai-Ai de las Alas says Vic Sotto agreed to have a kissing scene with her in their movie
by: Bernie Franco
Isa na namang award ang napanalunan ni Ai-Ai de las Alas bilang best actress sa kakatapos na PMPC Star Awards for Movies noong June 21. Ang award ng aktres ay para sa kanyang pagganap sa Tanging Ina N’yo: Last Na ‘To at ang mga kapwa niya nominado ay sina Bea Alonzo, Lorna Tolentino, Anne Curtis, Angelica Panganiban at Lovi Poe.
Sa sobrang kaba nga raw niya ay muntik na niyang makalimutang pasalamatan sa kanyang acceptance speech ang kanyang manager na si Boy Abunda. “Sa sobrang nerbiyos ko muntik ko pang makalimutan si Ama (tawag niya kay Boy). I love Boy Abunda, I love Ama, so much,” pambawi ni Ai-Ai later on sa interview.
Excited na rin ang Comedy Concert Queen sa kanyang susunod na film project na pagbibidahan nila ni Vic Sotto. Dagdag pa rito, magiging co-producer din sa pelikula si Ai-Ai kaya doble ang excitement niya. “In every project ko naman talagang tinitingnan ko naman, nakakapagpaligaya ako ng sambayanang Pilipino. ‘Yun lang naman ang akin, ang masaya silang lalabas ng sinehan na, ‘Hay, nakakatuwa naman si Bossing, nakakatuwa si Ai-Ai.’”
May blessing na rin daw si Bossing Vic na pwede silang magkaroon ng kissing scene ni Ai-Ai sa gagawin nilang pelikula. “’Yun lang naman din ang gusto din niya, huwag lang daw siyang ikakasal sa akin,” biro ni Ai-Ai. “Pwes, abangan n’yo ‘yun. Magtutukaan kami. Sabi nga ni Eugene Domingo, ayoko raw ng pabilog, eh pahaba naman ngayon,” pagpapatawa niya na tinutukoy na parehong mahaba ang baba nila ni Vic.
Nagkaroon din daw sila ng kasunduan na gagawa sila ni Cesar Montano ng isang indie movie pero wala pang definite plans. “Within our lifetime,” joke ni Ai-Ai.

Angel Locsin to Fly Again as 'Darna' in ABS-CBN?!
Now that the Kapamilya network acquires the right to 13 of the hit Mars Ravelo's creations including "Darna" and "Dyesebel", speculation is now spreading like a wild fire that Ms. Angel Locsin will once more portray the said role!
While still in GMA-7 way back in 2005, Angel first portrayed the said role in a TV series. And that was the very first time that"Darna" flew in Philippine television. And it got a very high record-breaking TV ratings which really pulled-up the Primetime block of the Kapuso network. In 2009, Marian Rivera reprise the said role but didn't surpassed the hit done by Angel!
The role of "Darna" truly fits Angel Locsin! Based on the different online surveys, Angel Locsin is the best "Darna" ever! Million people even requested Angel to fly again as "Darna!"
If ABS-CBN will offer the said role to Angel, do you want her to accept again the said role?! If not, who would you like to reprise the role of this famous Pinay superhero?!
There are also rumors that ABS-CBN will bring "Darna" not anymore in a Primetime TV series. Rather, it will be on a big screen, a 2012 MMFF entry! Nice! Hmmm...do you think this will be the next big movie project of Angel Locsin under Star Cinema right after "In the Name of Love" and "MMK The Movie"?! And who do you want to be her leading man?! c",)
