Bistek courting Kris again?
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star) | Updated September 9, 2015

They haven’t had an honest-to-goodness “closure,” have they? Their so-called “work in progress” must have been just put on-hold, wasn’t it? And they have been swapping titillating text messages, haven’t they?
Kris Aquino is fancy-free (as the song goes,…come wander through the world with me, and any place we chance to be will be our rendezvous…) and so, as he claimed, is Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista (even if he continues to be a dutiful father to his children with two women, neither of whom he married, and from whom he has long been separated).
Is the rudely-interrupted real-life Kristek romcom resuming?
A Funfare VDPA (Very Deep Penetration Agent) swore that it is (“Cross my heart,” she said, “and hope to die!”). The VDPA recalled an incident last Thursday when Bistek paid Kris a surprise (or was it actually agreed upon?) visit on the set of Kris’ movie Etiquette For Mistresses in Antipolo.
“Bistek came with a catering con todo alalay (factotum),” recalled the VDPA. “He stood by Kris like an eagle-eyed bodyguard, as in parang guardia sibil na nakabantay kay Kris. Sweet na sweet sila. Bistek deliberately missed a flight to Iloilo for the League of Cities for Mar Roxas just to be with Kris.”
An entry in Kris’ Instagram (showing a cute couple captioned “Love is…Patching things up”) seems to say it all:…the past couple of months taught me a lot about compromise and about being less selfish. I know we still have a long way to go, but what has been working for me has been to reach for my Rosary and just pray…Another entry:…Learning to see life through his eyes…
Dear Kris has been so stressed these past few weeks and badly needs somebody special to help her unwind.
This time, will their “joint work” progress?
Here’s hoping…and praying!
Vic Sotto gets teased about engagement to Pauleen Luna; quips, "Sinisigurado ko lang, baka maunahan ako ng AlDub."

Vic Sotto was caught off guard when a "Sugod Bahay" winner, Aling Nena, greeted him, “Happy wedding...” Bossing (his moniker) recently announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Pauleen Luna.
Halatang nabigla si Vic Sotto nang bigla siyang batiin ng “Happy wedding!” ng isang 73-year-old winner sa "Juan For All All For Juan Sugod Bahay" segment ng Eat Bulaga! ngayong Sabado, September 5.
Kinakapanayam noon ng Eat Bulaga! co-hosts na sina Jose Manalo at Paolo Ballesteros si Lola Nena ng Barangay 598, Zone 59, Sta. Mesa Manila.
Pagkatapos ay biglang sinabi ni Lola kay Vic, “Salamat po, Bossing! Happy wedding, Bossing!”
Hindi man nagdetalye si Lola Nena, malinaw na tinutukoy nito ang engagement ni Vic, 61, at Eat Bulaga! co-host na si Pauleen Luna, 26.
Buwelta ni Vic sa contestant: “Grabe naman. Masyado ka namang adelantada... Akala ko wala kang TV?
Agad na tinukso si Vic ng kanyang co-hosts na sina Senator Tito Sotto, Joey De Leon, Allan K, Jose, at Paolo.
Sabi ni Tito Sen, “Updated ka ha, Aling Nena!”
Si Joey naman ay nagbigay ng suhestiyon na puwedeng panibagong konsepto ng kalyeserye ang real-life love story nina Vic at Pauleen.
“Oy, 'yan nga pala ang susunod nating istorya sa kalyeserye. Kapag nagkita na yung dalawa, si AlDub,” nagbibirong pahayag ni Joey.
VIC-PAULEEN TO WED SOONER THAN ALDUB. Kilala si Vic sa pagiging pribado pagdating sa usapin tungkol sa kanyang buhay pag-ibig.
Ngunit game na nakisakay sa biruan si Vic at sinabing baka maunahan pa siya ng tambalang AlDub na magpakasal, kaya napagdesiyunan niyang lumagay na sa tahimik.
Ang AlDUb ay ang sikat na tambalan nina Alden Richards at Yaya Dub (a.k.a. Maine Mendoza).
Vic Sotto confirms engagement to Pauleen Luna: “Yes, we are.”

“Yes, we are.”
Ito ang pagkumpirma ni Vic Sotto tungkol sa balitang lumabas dito sa PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na engaged na sila ng kanyang girlfriend at Eat Bulaga! co-host na si Pauleen Luna.
Si Vic ay 61 years old, samantalang si Pauleen ay 26 pa lamang.
Pahayag pa ng comedian-TV host tungkol sa engagement nila ni Pauleen, “Hindi ko naman puwedeng i-deny 'yon.
"But the details, yun ang sa tamang panahon… kung anuman yung mangyayari in the future."
Nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang miyembro ng media si Vic sa press conference ng CitiGlobal Realty & Development, Inc., na ginanap sa Cities Events Place, Quezon City, nitong Miyerkules ng hapon, September 2.
Sinikap ng press na kunan ng iba pang detalye si Vic tungkol sa engagement nila ni Pauleen, ngunit ayaw patinag ng comedian-TV host.
Pero ang sinabi lamang niya ay umakyat na ang level ng kanilang relasyon.
“Ibang level na, pero I will go into details sa tamang panahon,” diin niya.
May mga press na inakalang hindi aaminin ni Vic ang tungkol sa engagement nila ni Pauleen sa nasabing interview.
Pero aniya, “Hindi naman ako yung tipong magde-deny, or sabi ko naman sa inyo, kung meron kailangang aminin, inaamin.”
Ano ang nararamdaman niya ngayon?
Sagot ni Bossing Vic, “I’m good, I’m always good.
"I’m happy with the way things are turning out, with [Eat] Bulaga, with mga kasamahan ko sa trabaho.
"Everything is great.

Was Julie Anne once the ‘Yaya Dub’ in Alden’s life?
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star

(Right) Julie Anne San Jose: The blessings are pouring. (Left) Alden Richards, rumored
to have been Julie Anne’s first (secret?) boyfriend.
Because the AlDub tandem of Alden Richards and Yaya Dub/Maine Mendoza is the most popular today, not just here but around the world (in Filipino communities reached by GMA Pinoy TV), the name Julie Anne San Jose is brought up as having been a “Yaya Dub” in Alden’s life once upon a time (although she and Alden would keep mum if reminded about it).
I guess if asked about it, Julie Anne would simply blush as an answer. Same with Alden. Why their romance didn’t progress (didn’t it, secretly?) remains a little mystery up to now.
Both are happy where they are, Alden as the current Crush ng Bayan, Pambansang Dimples and Pambansang Bae rolled into one, and Julie Anne in GMA shows Buena Familia, Sunday PINASaya and Pepito Manaloto. Currently in New York (with Dingdong Dantes, Ai-Ai delas Alas, Christian Bautista and Betong Sumaya) for the 10th-anniversary celebration (yesterday) of GMA Pinoy TV, Julie Anne was recently named the newest celebrity advocate of World Vision. The music video of her latest single titled Not Impressed will be released anytime now.

Maja Salvador arrives at the red carpet of the 9th Star Magic Ball
at Makati Shangri-La Hotel in Makati City on Saturday,
September 12.
MANILA, Philippines – She may have walked the red carpet alone, but Maja Salvador was every bit of a stunner at the 9th Star Magic Ball at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel in Makati City on Saturday.
The 26-year-old actress looked elegant in a beige Rajo Laurel dress. This is Maja’s first Star Magic Ball after her breakup with Gerald Anderson earlier this month. Gerald, Maja’s date to the ball in 2013 and 2014, attended the event with his young niece Lira.

Shaina Magdayao also graced the ball’s red carpet alone wearing a John Herrera gown. The actress has been single since 2012 and also attended the event last year without a date.
Meanwhile, Miss Universe-Philippines 2015 Pia Wurstbach was a revelation as she attended the ball with her manager Jonas Gaffud in a backless beige dress.

More questions about the ‘Enrique Gil’ incident
Even if Enrique Gil has already apologized for that plane incident (see “blind item” in this corner last Friday, Sept. 11) on national television (repeating the hackneyed alibi “Tao lang ako at nagkakamali,” words to that effect), more questions are begging to be answered, to wit:
• Why didn’t whoever was in-charge of the Kapamilya group that went to London sternly remind the guys beforehand that nobody, with no exception, should drink before, during and even after the event?
• Why didn’t the Kapamilya Network reprimand or sanction Enrique instead of letting him go as if nothing happened?
• Why did the network let Enrique (escorting his leading lady Liza Soberano) attend the Star Magic Ball Saturday night and didn’t allow Jessy Mendiola (victim of the plane incident) to be there? (On the Tsismax program on dzMM last Sunday night, hosts Ambet Nabus and Gretchen Fullido quoted a text message from Ronald Constantino: Enrique Gil should be suspended!) Is there any kind of favoritism here?
• What does the airline have to say about the incident? (You remember how another airline treated Melissa Mendez in that “shooting clouds” incident, don’t you?)

ganun? . . . . di naman sir, hindi naman si ellen adarna nagpapalitaw sa akin, kundi ung karamihang mga magaganda ninyong post ni ma'am loves mo, he he he.

Sa light side naman, aba mag-ingat itong si Maria Ozawa at matulis itong si Boboy. . pero sanay naman na itong si Maria ng one-night stand (at di ba parang ganun din lang naman mga porno movies na ginawa nya before?). ;D

Kristek out, Krisrek in!
FUNFARE UPDATE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star)
(http://s16.postimg.org/cgnizxq9x/Derek_Kris_Herbert_6.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Curtain-raisers:
Could it be true that an award-winning senior actress has gone back to her old habit that derailed her career several years ago? Sad, you know, because she was able to bounce back. Is it why she is not seen on TV as often as before?
Could it be true that a currently very popular young actor, rather his manager, turned down an offer (to the tune of millions of pesos) to endorse a 2016 candidate? As a polite gesture, the manager named a price that was too prohibitive (presyong ayaw talaga) but the candidate bit it. Still, the answer was no. The actor is prevented by the network from venturing into the murky political waters.
Meet the newest Poster Boy for Misbehavior — yes, Paulo Avelino! A producer complained to Funfare Update that the actor is a big headache in the current production. “First time, I encounter an actor who disobeys even his manager,” fumed the producer. Abroad, the actor tries to evade fans by wearing a hood. Was he also the one who gave liquor to another misbehaving actor and, recently, a misbehaving sixy starlet? Is he self-destructing? Has he become swell-headed? Remember, whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. Sayang siya if and when.
BREAKING NEWS: A Funfare Update DPA reported that Quezon City Mayor Herbert “Bistek” Bautista is out of the long-delayed Mr. & Mrs. Split which is included in this December’s Metro Filmfest. Shooting for the movie has been postponed several times because, according to the DPA, “of Kris and Bistek’s off-and-on again relationship.”
Star Cinema, which is producing the movie, has tapped Derek Ramsay as Bistek’s replacement. Management saw the rushes of Etiquette for Mistresses and was impressed by the chemistry between Kris and Derek (who’s appearing as a special guest). Eureka, Krisrek was born! So simple, ‘no? The “t” in the uniname was just replaced by an “r.” Easy does it.
Well and good because Kris has been looking forward to working with Derek. Dumating na ang tamang panahon.
The movie’s title has been changed to Pamilya Lab, Lab, Lab.

Ang lalaking walang pahinga
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star)
(http://s14.postimg.org/m6rvbu8wx/Jose_Manalo_Eat_Bulaga.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Like the rest of the Bulaga dabarkads, Jose Manalo can’t explain how or why the AlDub kalyeserye became a monster hit worldwide.
“Biglaan lang,” Jose told Funfare. “It wasn’t planned at all. We were just told that Wally was going to change his duktora character to a lola with a yaya.”
That’s in Eat, Bulaga’s Juan For All, All For Juan segment. Wally is Wally Bayola who plays Lola Nidora in the two-month-old kalyeserye that catapulted the split-screen love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza/Yaya Dub to overnight stardom. Jose plays three characters: as Frankie Arenolli, Yaya Dub’s jilted Italian suitor; as Don Franing, the suitor’s Gucci-clad grandfather; and as Tinidora, one of the triplets with Lola Nidora and Paolo Ballesteros as Tidora.
“A few days after Maine joined the show,” continued Jose, “Alden was caught by the camera on the other screen watching Maine. Parang kinilig si Maine. That’s how everything started. Biglang naging love team na sina Alden at Maine.”
AlDub followers agree that Jose, as well as Wally and Paolo, play a big part in the kalyeserye’s success. When the AlDub pair is off-screen, Jose and Wally help sustain the viewers’ interest with their crazy-wacky comic style, dressed in identical fashion with over-done make-up. Jose clicks with his harot (flirtatious) portrayal of Tinidora which is how people have started calling him.
“We are supposed to be triplets with different personality,” said Jose, “so I thought of how to make Tinidora different from Lola Nidora and Tidora. Si Paolo maganda na, si Wally mataray at masungit, so ginawa kong malantong na matanda si Tinidora.”
While Lola Nidora has three bodyguards all named Rogelio and Paolo has his own hunk bodyguards all named Bernardo, Jose also has his own bodyguards (Cuando, Cuando, Cuando) who seem to have, as Jose himself jokingly described them, risen from the grave.
The kalyeserye cast is given bullet points every day as guide, there’s no script at all, and it’s up to them to improvise on the sequence.
“The studio hosts are a big help,” said Jose, referring to Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon and Allan K who usually monitor the Juan For All segment. “They feed us pointers on what to do.”
With Alden and Wally, Jose is seen on TV from Monday to Saturday, now including Sundays on the new GMA noontime show Sunday PINASaya. Saturday nights, he co-hosts Celebrity Bluff with Eugene Domingo, also on GMA. Every now and then, he performs at Zirkoh which is owned and managed by Allan K. Yes, you can call Jose ang lalaking walang pahinga.
Jose also acts as field reporter Gasgas Abelgas (patterned after you-know-who) for Tuko TV, keeping viewers on what’s coming next during the kalyeserye’s cliffhanger portion in which the triplets are shown “frozen.”
What you see is what you get, assured Jose.
“Palabiro na talaga ako since I was a child growing up in Moriones, Tondo, Manila. Lahat ng tao d’un alaskador. Hilig kong mambuska ng tao. If you don’t know me, mapipikon ka sa akin, sa mga biro ko.”
He’s the second to the eldest among five children.
“I come from a happy family. Medyo kapos pero masaya,” said Jose who reached only up to second year in college at UE. “Bulakbol kasi ako, sayaw lang nang sayaw.”
He started as a clown with Caloy Atayde’s Boyoyong Clowns that performed in kiddie parties.
“I also dance and I used to join dance contests in Eat, Bulaga. It was direk German Escueta who got me into GMA. I was a member of direk’s dance group and his basketball team.”
His acting debut was dramatic, not comedic.
“It was on the GMA action-drama series Valiente,” related Jose whose real first name is Ariel. “Ang role ko parang boy-boy, Jose ang pangalan. When Valiente ended, direk German hired me as PA (Production Assistant) and audition master of Bulaga! The name Jose stuck. They always told those auditioning, ‘Look for Jose!’ Then, I became the floor director.
“Magulo na talaga ako. Mando ako nang mando sa mga artista. Every now and then they would show me on the screen wearing a headset. They asked me to remove the headset and got me as alalay in the Laban O Bawi segment, then in Bulagaan. I woke up one morning and realized na tuluy-tuloy na ako sa Bulaga.”
While Wally has theater experience in high school in Naga City, Jose has no acting background at all.
“Natuto na lang,” said Jose.
Wally (real name: Walter James Bayola) grew up in Bicol, in Malinao, Albay.
“Ever since I was a kid,” Wally told Funfare in a previous interview, “laruan na ako ng mga tiyahin at tiyuhin ko. When I joined the church choir, my friends treated me the same way, laruan nila. I finished grade/elementary school at a Catholic school in Tabaco, Albay. It was the priest who took care of me. When he died, I went back to stay with my lola in Naga City. I joined the theater so I could get a scholarship in Naga College. I have a college degree, X-Ray Technician.”
He started at The Library as a stand-up comedian, along with Pooh and Teri Aunor, and got into Bulaga! as part of the Bulagaan segment where his tandem with Jose was born. They clicked as hosts of the Juan For All, All For Juan segment of Bulaga! In 2012, they topbilled A Party For Every Juan, a sold-out concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
They are both separated from their wives. Wally has four children and Jose has five, one of them indie actor Nicco Manalo.
No, there’s no professional jealousy between them; neither is there any scene-stealing from each other.
“Nagtutulungan kami,” said Jose.
They are like two peas in a pod, useless without the other.
Incidentally, asked how Maine/Yaya Dub is on the set, Jose echoed what Wally said in a Funfare interview.
“She’s very quiet, tahimik na bata pero masaya din. Pero may kalokohan din sa ulo.”
Do they talk about Alden?
“Oo naman. I usually tease her and Alden.”
Does he think Alden and Maine will end up as sweethearts in real life?
“I think so. Parang may tama na ang Maine na ‘yan. They are always being teased so mukhang nagkaka-igihan na. Madalas niloloko ko siya about Alden. It’s possible.”
Alden said he’s fancy-free and so is Maine. So, Jose is right, it’s possible!

What is Willie Revillame up to?
That’s the question being popped by those who have been seeing Willie often visiting the office of the Kapuso bigwigs.
For the past few Sundays after the timeslot of Willie’s Sunday show Wowowin was moved an hour ahead (now from 2 to 3 p.m.), right after the network’s new noontime show Sunday PINASaya, its rating has gone higher. The tandem shows now rule the Sunday primetime slot.
Since Willie is mum on his next moves (until finalized), Funfare sources could give only three guesses:
• Is Wowowin on its way to a “higher level” (read: going daily Monday thru Friday before StarStruck)?;
• Willie is a block timer. With Wowowin’s high rating, will GMA go into a 50/50 partnership with Willie?; and
• Are negotiations now on the final stage?
Stay tuned. Don’t change channels.
AlDub vows to top 11M First-Date tweets
(http://s14.postimg.org/g6wrm4535/Aldub.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Almost but not quite. Already so near but still so far. Within arm’s reach but seems miles away from each other.
AlDub’s first date in last Saturday’s edition of the Eat, Bulaga! kalyeserye netted more than 11 million tweets hours after the show ended overtime, and AlDubNation continued tweeting up to Saturday night. The number is expected to grow by leaps and bounds next Saturday if and when Alden Richards and Yaya Dub/Maine Mendoza finally get within hugging distance of each other…unless Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola) again gets in the way.
Last Saturday’s edition was witnessed by Maine’s parents to whom paid respect by making ‘mano’.

Pauleen Luna reveals how Vic Sotto proposed to her
Posted on September 21, 2015 in News
Preparations are underway for the much awaited wedding between Pauleen Luna and Vic Sotto. Vic Sotto in an earlier statement said the wedding will happen before the end of the year of the goat which is February 2016 according to the Chinese calendar.
During her guesting on Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (Sunday – September 20, 2015), Pauleen revealed some details on how Vic proposed to her:
“Nothing grand. Just the way he likes it. Kasi kami, very low key kami. We like keeping our relationship simple. One day, nilabas n’ya lang (the engagement ring). Nagulat ako. Sinuot ko, actually… Sabi n’ya, ‘Teka, ako dapat magsusuot sa iyo n’yan!’ And then that’s it.“ said Pauleen.
When asked about the details of their wedding, Pauleen has this to say:
“We’re starting to plan the wedding. Writing down ‘yung mga guest. Nakapili na rin kami ng venue. But the date, to follow” Pauleen said.

Jessy Mendiola denies split with JM De Guzman
(philstar.com) | Updated September 23, 2015
(http://s22.postimg.org/hn39oymtt/jm_jessy.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines — Jessy Mendiola and JM De Guzman are still together, amid rumors that they have broken up.
According to a report by MJ Felipe in ABS-CBN's news program "Bandila" aired Tuesday, the actress said she and JM have not broken up.
However, the report added that Jessy refused to grant "Bandila" a full interview.
Rumors that Jessy and JM have broken up surfaced after the ABS-CBN actress was reportedly involved in the controversial drunken incident with actor Enrique Gil inside a plane en route to London for a show earlier this month.
The two did not attend the Star Magic Ball on September 12, which further fanned the rumors.
Coincidentally, rumors that JM will be replaced in two major projects also surfaced following reports of their breakup.
Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
There are reports that JM will be removed from the ABS-CBN afternoon drama "All of Me" and will be replaced by Albert Martinez.
Albert addressed this issue during the press conference for the upcoming ABS-CBN show "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano," which he is also a part of.
"Hindi ko alam, unless they present a new [proposal]... kasi, sa akin, ang talagang commitment ko lang is doon sa pilot. Now, kung babalik ako, they have to present panibagong [proposal]," he said.
Albert also said: "Right now, ang ano lang namin is 'yung schedule nga nito ('Ang Probinsyano'), so I don't know kung ano ang mangyayari."
"Hopefully, maayos lahat, kasi napakagaling namang artista ni JM, sayang naman. Saka ang ganda ng story, eh. Ayoko nang galawin 'yun, eh.”
A Pang-Masa showbiz column published Wednesday also claims that JM will be replaced in "Walang Forever," the Metro Manila Film Festival entry he is slated to star in with Jennylyn Mercado.
READ: JM tinanggal na sa MMFF movie nila ni Jennylyn?
"Nakausap namin si Atty. Joji Alonzo kahapon at kinumpirma nga niyang papalitan na si JM de Guzman bilang leading man ni Jennylyn Mercado sa Metro Manila Film Festival entry niyang Walang Forever," the report said.

~Sheryl Cruz says Grace Poe is not yet ready to become President in 2016~
Posted on September 19, 2015 in News
Actress Sheryl Cruz does not approved of her cousins decision Grace Poe to run for President in 2016.
In a report published by Manila Standard, Sheryl feels her cousin is still a neophyte and need to hone her skills more for the position.
“She’s not yet ready for the task, for the big responsibility. Everybody in your family is special to you [but] you don’t want to see somebody having a hard time most especially running the country,” Cruz said.
“I know her because we grew up together. There are actually things that you have to actually wait for,” added Sheryl.
Sheryl Cruz is the daughter of Rosemarie Sonora.

~Sheryl Cruz speaks up on her firm stand against Grace Poe’s candidacy~
Posted on September 23, 2015 in News
During the grand press conference of the biopic film ‘Felix Manalo’ held at the Manila Hotel last Tuesday (September 22, 2015) actress Sheryl Cruz held a separate, brief interview at the Manila Hotel’s cafe to denounce the “harrasment” she has been receiving because of her stand against the bid for a higher office of her cousin Sen. Grace Poe.
In an interview with the reporters, Sheryl explained that it is a bit abrupt for Sen. Poe to run for a higher office, she then said that her cousin will make a good president in 2022 election.
“It’s a bit abrupt for her to run in 2016, and popularity cannot be translated into capability… She’ll make a fine president come 2022.” Sheryl said.
The 41-year old actress explained that she has always been supportive during her cousin’s senatorial campaign. “I supported my cousin throughout her 2013 run. Halos ako nga ang pumunta sa buong Pilipinas para i-representa siya. Kung hindi ako naniniwala sa kakayahan niya, bakit ko gagawin iyon?” She explained.
She also added, “I’m reserving my support for whomever candidate na nakikitang kong nararapat at dapat mamuno dahil maayos siyang tao at isa pa, ang puso niya ay para sa mga mamamayan, pati sa mga bata, at sa mga ina, at sa mga single mothers na tulad ko. Siya ang aking susuportahan ko,”

Pinoys in Guam also AlDub crazy
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star) | Updated September 24, 2015
(http://s23.postimg.org/3mdbx4byj/Guam_Aldub_Fever_1.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
GUAM — Like millions of Filipinos around the world, those on this tiny island (a mere dot on the map) in the middle of the Pacific Ocean are also crazy about AlDub.
Two of them are Gina Tabonares-Reilly, formerly a reporter of The Philippines STAR and now married to retired US Marine Bob Reilly; and Teri Flores, marketing director of Tango Theatres TanHoldings Company.
Over merienda at the coffee shop of the newly-opened Dusit Thani Resort Hotel, they unabashedly showed how gigil they were about the Alden Richards-Yaya Dub/Maine Mendoza love team, racing against each other in showing me video grabs of the multi-million-tweet Eat, Bulaga! kalyeserye on their celfones and iPads.
“I saw on Yahoo.com that AlDub was trending,” related Teri. “Since I am in marketing, I look for studies like that. I was curious. So I checked YouTube at binalikan ko from Day One. I was instantly hooked. I’ve been following it since then.”
“My friends in Manila have been posting AlDub photos on their celfones and I asked them about it,” said Gina. “They told me, ‘Watch it. Maaliw ka.’ So I did. Bigla akong naging avid AlDub follower.”
I took their picture with my celfone camera and…surprise, surprise!...they willingly posed with an image of Alden from an AlDub episode, doing the AlDub pabebe wave and Lola Nidora’s pabebe tongue, and then kissing Alden’s image.
They are up-to-date with the free-flowing AlDub romance, gasping at the possibility of Alden and Yaya Dub finally meeting in person and not just via split-screen.
They knew that Alden and Yaya Dub’s two scheduled meetings were thwarted first by a plywood (named “Victor Plywood” by Bulaga host Joey de Leon), and the second (touted to be their first date) by a long table at which Alden and Yaya Dub sat on opposite ends, cut short by the frantic ringing of an alarm clock and Lola Nidora’s urgent demand for Yaya Dub to bring to her her “chiwibol” (chewable) medicine.
“It’s so funny how every little thing associated with the kalyeserye becomes a character,” laughed Gina who, like Teri, even knew that the three stumbling blocks to the love team’s meeting have issued “official statements” (authors not identified) in an attempt to exonerate themselves.
• From “Victor Plywood”:
Dear AlDub Nation: Sorry po sa nangyari kanina. Hindi ko po talaga kagustuhan na humadlang sa gitna ni Alden at ni Yaya Dub. Ako po ay isang props lamang na naghahangad na sumikat pero hindi sa masamang paraan, at wala po akong gustong masaktan.
Hindi ko po nabasa ang script. Ginamit lang po ako ni Lola Nidora. Sabi po niya ay pipintahan nila ako at gagawing background pag nagkita ang AlDub. Hindi ko sinasadya na humadlang sa kanila. I was USED and ABUSED kasi baguhan lang ako sa industriya. Humihingi po ako ng paumanhin at patawad sa mga nasaktan. — Plywood sa Gitna ng ALDUB.
• From Long Table: ALDUB Nation sorry po talaga. Hindi ko akalain na matapos si Plywood, ako naman ang ginamit. Biktima lang po ako. Pumasok kami sa EB Broadway Studio para magtrabaho lamang. Excited kami dahil nagkataon na first date pa talaga ng AlDub. First day of work namin. Sabi ng jmga staff na ako raw ang magiging lamesa sa lunch room ng mga hosts. Nilagay na nila ako room; actually, kumain na nga si Ryzza at Pia at gamit ako. Tapos ‘yung pinsan kong si small table, siya naman ang lamesa sa AlDub pero sa di inaasahang pangyayari may bumitbit sa akin. ‘Di ko mamukhaan, naka-shades sila, eh. Akala ko din po na ‘yung pinsan kong si small table ang gagamitin sa date. Nakakadismaya na ako ang nagtatrabaho lamang ay nagagamit sa mga ikinagagalit ng AlDub fans. Sorry po ulit. — Long Table.
• From Chiwibol and Alarm Clock: Dear AlDub Nation. Sorry for what we have done. Si Lola Nidora ang may gawa. Bago mag-umpisa ang show nilagay kami sa bag ni Yaya Dub. Si Yaya isa ring makakalimutin at nakalimutan kami ibigay kay Lola. Parang awa ninyo na. ‘Wag ninyo kami i-bash ni brother alarm clock. Please, si plywood at straw ay nasa rehab na. P.S. Congrats AlDub Nation. You are part of the history!!! — Love, Chiwibol at Alarm Clock
“Bow ako sa writers ng AlDub,” said Teri. ”They don’t run out of exciting ideas. Very creative.”
“I’m amazed by how they come up with new ideas every day,” said Gina, taking exception of Wally Bayola (as Lola Nidora), Jose Manalo (as Tinidora) and Paolo Ballesteros (as Tidora) as a big help in sustaining the interest and curiosity of the followers until such time (before the year ends?) when Alden and Yaya Dub will end up in each other’s arms. “Tuwang-tuwa ako sa mga bodyguards ni Wally (the three Rogelios), Jose (the three Cuandos) and Paolo (the three Bernardos).”
Asked what they think makes AlDub click, Gina said, “I like the Cinderella-like touch, a nanny fascinated with a prince-like guy. It’s not just a comedy, it shows Filipino values. By the way, aliw ako sa kanilang adlibs, you know, ’yung sinasabi nilang asawa ni…’Yung mga ganoon.”
Teri agreed. “My children didn’t grow up in the Philippines so they are not familiar with Filipino values. AlDub promotes Filipino values. When they ask, ‘Mommy, what’s that?’ I tell my son, who is in the military, ‘That’s the Filipino tradition of courtship.’ I like Maine because she’s an epitome of a Filipina…masunurin at marespeto sa Lola. Konti na lang ang generation na katulad niya. I agree with Lola Nidora that things should not be rushed and to wait for the right time, sa tamang panahon.”
“Maine makes fun of herself and she still looks good,” added Gina. “She’s really pretty. The characters represent members of the family so it’s not hard to identify with them. I love Jose when she dances to the tune of Mambo No. 5. Nakakatuwa ang kalandian n’ya.”
After Alden and Yaya Dub’s twice “so far yet so near/almost there” meetings two Saturdays ago, Teri and Gina are looking forward to what surprises the kalyeserye will spring this Saturday. The “first-date” episode last week earned (so far) more than 12 million tweets.
“I think they will finally come face to face and perhaps kiss,” Gina said.
“And I’m sure this Saturday’s episode will surpass the 12M-tweet mark,” countered Teri.”
After the coffee break, Gina and I (Teri did not join us) proceeded to a Japanese restaurant where Emelio Uy, the well-loved long-time Guam resident who has a ready helping hand for his kababayan, hosted a dinner. And what do you know? Emelio is also an AlDub follower!
When he goes home from managing his National Office Supply store, he relaxes by watching AlDub.
“It’s an effective stress-reliever,” swore Emelio.
People from all walks of society wherever in the world, there are Filipinos who are AlDub followers. Indeed, AlDub is a great equalizer.

Lea Salonga’s “kababawan” tweet catches netizens attention
Posted on September 26, 2015 in News
Singer and actress Lea Salonga tweeted that she is fine with shallowness (“kababawan”) and posted a question on Twitter if we should be contented by it:
“Okay lang sa akin ang kababawan, pero hanggang doon na lamang ba tayo? #NagtatanongLangPo”
The tweet caught the attention of netizens that prompted Lea to respond:
- Ang daming judgmental at defensive dito. Haaaaay, di niyo na-gets ang tweet ko.
- Uhmmm… I have no idea what’s going on. Why did people assume I was tweeting about AlDub? I wasn’t. I don’t know about it. So why the hate?
- Only now am I finding out that today was a significant day. I honestly had zero idea anything was going on! My tweet was pure coincidence!
- So stop the hatred, the negative assumptions, whatever you’re throwing at me. Just send me links so I know what the fuss is about.

Billy Crawford, takot na pagsawaan ang istilo ng pagho-host
UMAASA ANG mahusay na host-singer na si Billy Crawford na hindi siya pagsawaan ng mga manonood, dahil almost everday from Monday to Sunday ay napanonood siya na nagho-host.
Mula Lunes hangang Sabado ng tanghali ay napanonood siya sa It’s Showtime at sa gabi naman ay sa pinakabago, exciting, at nakatutuwang game show ng Kapamilya Network, ang Celebrity Playtime, tuwing linggo naman ay nasa ASAP 20 ito, at kapag Sabado at Linggo ng gabi ay nasa Your Face Sounds Familiar naman ito.
Tsika nga ni Billy, “Sana hindi magsawa ang mga tao na panoorin ako, kasi almost everyday na akong napanonood.”
Ang pagiging mahusay na host daw ang dahilan kung bakit si Billy pa rin ang kinuhang host ng Celebrity Playtime, kaya naman nagpapasalamat si Billy sa panibagong project na ibinigay sa kanya ng ABS-CBN.
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa ABS-CBN management sa tiwalang ibinibigay nila sa akin, at sa pagbibigay sa akin ng magagandang proyekto,” pagtatapos ni Billy .

A ‘fan sign’ interview with Maine Mendoza
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star) |
(http://s24.postimg.org/6cz7c4ud1/Yayadub_Maine_Mendoza.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Will I talk?
Maine Mendoza is doing her first-ever interview, three months after she broke into television initially as Yaya Dub, the nanny of Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola), and now as the love interest of Alden Richards in the Eat, Bulaga! kalyeserye which has been keeping Filipinos around the world glued to their TV sets Monday thru Saturday.
We are here at a big house at the corner of Broadway and 9th Sts. in New Manila, Quezon City which, just an hour earlier, served as Lola Nidora’s mansion where Alden and Maine (for the meantime not as Yaya Dub) were having their lunch unperturbed by nobody. The AlDub Nationals know what happened, with Maine saying “This must be love!” not just once but twice, much to the rejoicing of the kalyeserye’s avid followers who set a new Twitter record of more than 23 million tweets (as of this writing, still counting!), breaking the previous Saturday’s 12M-plus mark. After all, Sept. 26 was declared National Pabebe Wave Day.
It’s actually The STAR’s second exclusive interview with Maine. The first was late in July when Maine was only starting in Bulaga, recruited because of her popularity as the Queen of Dubsmash, barely a month before the kalyeserye was launched by accident…unscripted, uncharted, going on and on and on with AlDub co-stars also including Jose Manalo (Tinidora) and Paolo Ballesteros (Tidora) sustaining the viewers’ interest with their hilarious antics.
This Saturday, facing us as Maine Mendoza and not as Yaya Dub, the country’s phenomenal overnight star, is communicating to us through fan signs…on camera, that is (for this coming Saturday’s edition of CelebriTV, Oct. 3, 4 p.m. on GMA).

windows 7 print screen (http://postimage.org/app.php)
“Kilig siempre pero kinabahan,” admits Maine who has junked her initial dream to be a flight attendant, “Mas gusto ko pong mag-artista.”
Aside from Alden’s dimples, Maine says that what she likes about Alden is his eyes (which is the same thing Alden said he liked about Maine). “And his being a super gentleman.”
Asked if she has a boyfriend, Maine says, “In high school.” Now she’s fancy-free like Alden.
So is there a possibility of her and Alden becoming sweethearts in real life? May pag-asa ba si Alden kung manligaw sa kanya?
“Mayroon po!” Then she laughs and laughs.
What conditions, if any, will she impose on Alden (the way Lola Nidora makes it hard for Alden to woo Yaya Dub)?
“All he has to do is ask for my parents’ permission.”

MANILA, Philippines — It looks like all is well between Joey de Leon and Lea Salonga.

Joey even addressed Lea's tweet, and followed it with a series of posts defending the "Eat Bulaga" segment "Kalyeserye," which Alden and Maine headline.

Arci shares her memorable ‘firsts’
By Bot Glorioso (The Philippine Star) | Updated October 3, 2015 - 12:00am
(http://s14.postimg.org/fgfm7zgnl/arci_munoz_4.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines - Arci Muñoz is not shy to admit that she is not quite confident about posing sixy and alluring because she tends to act boyish. But those who have already seen the 2016 Ginebra San Miguel calendar layouts showing her in various settings would certainly agree that none of them reflects her boyish side. All there is to see is a beautiful display of a toned body with curves in the right places fitting enough to be Ginebra San Miguel’s Calendar Girl for 2016.
It was last Tuesday afternoon when the actress-singer was formally launched as the liquor brand’s new “poster girl” during the ceremonial toast, doing fist bumps with Ginebra San Miguel executives and Ellen Adarna who made a graceful exit as 2015 Calendar Girl.
“I’m really thankful that with so many beautiful women in the industry, they (Ginebra) have chosen me to represent this huge and quality brand,” said Arci. “I’d like you to know that this is my first endorsement (deal) and I’ve been here in the industry for 10 years now since I joined StarStruck (in 2005). Sabi ko nga nung una, ‘Seryoso ba sila?’ That’s why, I’m so thankful to Ginebra for trusting in me.”
Ginebra San Miguel, Inc. VP and marketing manager Nelson Elises, in the press release, stated, “We chose Arci Muñoz because she embodies the Ginebra San Miguel brand character — strong, versatile and resilient. She is a complete package. She’s got the beauty and the brains. She is multi-faceted. She’s a singer, an actress and a model. Truly, ganado sa buhay.”
Arci joins the glamorous and appealing line-up of Ginebra Calendar Girls that includes Angelica Panganiban (2007), Marian Rivera (2009 and 2014), Anne Curtis (2011), Solenn Heussaff (2012) and Georgina Wilson (2013).
With the calendar’s theme A Day in her Life, Arci was able to do some of the things she has never done before like wearing a two-piece bikini. “It was my first time ever to wear a bikini because everytime I go on swimming, I’m always with my family and friends.”
She finds it tough to pose sixy “kasi boyish ako kaya feeling ko very stiff ako so I asked them to guide me. Thanks to our photographer Jay Tablante because they (photos) came out okay. In fact, I only had a few weeks to prepare (to be fit and fab) or maybe a week and a half, so I’m glad everything came out well. The effort paid off at yung pagkain lang ng chips, hahaha.”
Seriously, though, Arci had a blast during the calendar photo shoot. “I had fun during the shoot because I know I am in good hands, they protected me all throughout. The calendars actually revealed more about myself like the things I can do aside from acting at meron din akong mga input. Not many people know that I am athletic… I am a rocker but I also love girly stuff like fashion.” For those not familiar, Arci is the lead vocalist of the rock band Philia that still actively performs in various gigs.
A Theater Arts graduate from the University of the Philippines, Arci is able to use her acting skills by portraying different roles in the big and small screens. She plays the lead character in the ABS-CBN drama series Pasion de Amor and a supporting role in the Star Cinema movie Etiquette for Mistresses.
Asked if she is ready to accept more daring roles, Arci said, “I think I already opened the doors for that, starting with Pasion although they know that I’m a very conservative actress and especially I came from a Christian atmosphere. My parents are really strict so they won’t really allow me to do stuff like this but now naman I think I’m ready and I’ve matured enough. I made sure kasi that before I do something like this, I’m physically, spiritually and mentally ready to be able to perform better. And yes, change is good so I’ll accept daring roles but I always say that I have my limitations at eto lang ang kaya kong gawin.”
Aside from endorsing a brand like Ginebra San Miguel for the first time, Arci gamely shared some of her memorable “firsts.”
My first acting experience was… when I was in high school. That was the time I discovered that I can act because I’m a shy type (of person) na laging quiet lang sa sulok and I don’t really talk that much so nung high school it was part of our exam to recite a declamation piece at dun ko nalaman na kaya ko palang umarte on stage.
The first movie I watched was… I don’t remember which one of the two — Land Before Time or Casper.
The first concert I watched... they were out of the country concerts of Corn, Rob Zombie and Five Finger Death Punch. They’re all rock and roll concerts.
The first actress I admired was… Meryll Streep and the one actor I really love is Eddie Garcia. They are both amazing.
The first musical that had an impact on me was… Phantom of the Opera; I love watching musicals. That’s why when I auditioned ‘yun din Phantom ang ginawa ko.”

MANILA, Philippines – Herbert Bautista admitted that he has talked to Kris Aquino about his political plans.
“We’ve talked about it, at least briefly talked about it,” he replied when asked by Karen Davila on Friday’s episode of “Headstart.” if he has considered Kris’s opinion in deciding whether to run for Senate or to seek re-election as mayor.
“She also wants me to run for re-election,” he added. “But she told me na if I decide to run for the Senate she’ll also help me. So I’m very thankful for that.”
In the same interview, he confirmed that he will bid for another term as Quezon City mayor.
As for the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival entry “All You Need is Pag-ibig,” Bautista was mum on whether he is still part of the film.
“I think Star Cinema and Kris are working on something,” he said. “Ako naman I’m ready if they feel that I should be part of the movie, I’m ready. If they think I shouldn’t be part of the movie, okay lang sa akin. At least I was given that preference and I’m already thankful for that.”

It was a nice learning experience.”
How did you prepare for Road Trip?
“The usual, two weeks of strict diet and gym. I really tried to have the best body that I could pull off kasi it’s a hundred pages of all my photos during our trip and I want everyone to see me as beautiful as I could be. So, parang kung hindi ko ‘yun magawa, sayang ‘yung opportunity. It’s a good thing that I was able to hit my goal. My trainer really encouraged me to be at my best shape before the shoot. Before, when I’d go on a strict diet, they told me that I was super payat. This time, I made sure that I had more laman pero fit pa rin.”
How did the pictorial go; how did you feel during the shoot?
“We all had fun during the pictorial. Parang namasyal lang kami and we took pictures along the way and it didn’t feel like work. I felt so comfortable; Jay made me feel that he was there for the art. We went around Tagaytay lang, tapos kung saan lang namin matripan, doon na kami magsu-shoot. Spontaneous. Para lang kaming naglalaro. Actually, he wanted everything to be candid.”
What kind of workout do you do?
“Mostly weights. I don’t do much cardio because it tends to make my face and my arms look smaller.”
What part of your body needs improvement?
“My arms; they are so thin. So kailangan pang lagyan ng muscle.”
Part of a man’s body that you notice first?
“Chest and arms. Hindi masyado importante sa akin ‘yung six-pack, basta maganda ‘yung chest and arms.”
What about your diet?
“If I don’t have a shoot, I eat anything. I love to eat, eh. But I try to eat healthy, mostly vegetables and fruits. Piling-pili lang talaga ‘yung food and the way they are cooked.”
What’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
“Normally, pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Lunch, usually rice with ulam or bread with pasta. Dinner, salad or anything light. Pero may dessert ako dapat palagi.”
Any snacks between meals?
“Not much. Three meals a day are enough for me.”
Any medicines/vitamins?
“Vitamin C, ‘yung gummy, four pieces every day.”
How much water do you take per day?
“Eight glasses. I drink lots of water especially if I have a shoot kasi iyak ako nang iyak kaya ayokong ma-dehydrate ako.”
How many pillows do you sleep with?
“Four. During tapings, I bring one or two with me.”
Favorite sleepwear?
“Silk night gown.”
Do you snore or sleepwalk?
“I used to sleepwalk, pero na-outgrow ko na siya. No, I don’t snore. Not that I know off. Tulog ako, eh. Hehehehe!”
Last thing that you do before you go to sleep?
“Watch TV. ‘Yun ‘yung pampatulog ko.”
First thing you do as soon as you wake up?
“Drink water. May naka-stand by na one glass sa bedside.”
How do you relax, cope with stress?
“I hit the gym or go shopping. Or I look for a restaurant with the best burger. Mahilig lang akong kumain sa labas. Mahilig din akong magpa-spa. Girly stuff.”
Favorite hideaway?
“My room lang. Kasi lahat ng gusto ko, nandoon. Ginawa ko siyang all-white, I designed it in such a way na mare-relax talaga ako at matatanggal agad ‘yung stress so that in between work I’m able to recharge. And easily accessible, di ba?”
Night life?
“Wala na, eh. I used to be active when I was a teenager. But now, sleep na lang talaga.”
Outlook in life?
“I try to be positive in everything. I believe in the law of attraction, na kung anong ibinibigay mo sa universe, ‘yun ang bumabalik sa’yo.”
Three men that you think have nice bodies?
“Channing Tatum, Derek Ramsay and Zac Efron.”
And three women that you think have bodies as nice as yours?
“Beyoncé, Candice Swanepoel and Marian Rivera.”
Using only body language, how would you make a man know that you admire him?
“When I really like someone, I like to stare. Make eye contact and then smile at him. Actually, may pagka-shy ako. And if I am confident enough to smile at him, ‘yun na ‘yun.”

MTRCB imposes self-regulation on 'It's Showtime' over Pastillas Girl segment
MTRCB imposes self-regulation on 'It's Showtime' over Pastillas Girl segment
(http://s29.postimg.org/r97ydgy5z/pastillas.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines - Movies and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has imposed self-regulation to ABS-CBN noontime show “It’s Showtime.”
This is in connection to the complaint of party-list Gabriela over the show’s segment “Nasaan Ka Mr. Pastillas.”
The three-page letter of MTRCB was addressed to Business Unit Head Reily L. Santiago, producer Fulgencio Folleto, Jt. and the show’s Gender Focal Person Atty. Monalisa Manalo. It was posted in their Twitter account on Wednesday.
The board imposed that the show looks after the “dignity” of Angelica Yap, popularly known as Pastillas Girl in her segment.
They suggested that it could be done by “introducing scenes depicting her empowerment as a person while she faces various challenges in her young life.”
The board also imposed “to brief Ms. Yap before any episode considering that she is arguably now a ‘public figure’ and thus may be perceived as a ‘model’ by young women; this will ensure words and actions appropriate to the ‘PG’ rating of the program.”
It also acknowledged the show’s effort to provide Angelica a life coach “to mold her character positively and enable her to plan her life with care and informed choices, to the end that she will hopefully be able to avoid the earlier pitfalls she experienced.”
Aside from the said segment, the board also reminded the show about the “dressing” and “movement” of some participants and members of the show that some viewers “deemed as inappropriate.”
“It's Showtime” executives then assured the board that the clothes of the participants will undergo “three-tiered process review,” and that they’ll require “prior rehearsal by any performer for review and approval by program executives, to the end that the number does not violate any norm of gender-sensitivity or other rule.”
MTRCB reminded the show’s executives about “the need for constant and unwavering vigilance in regard to the depiction and portrayal of women in your program. You will necessarily have to sharpen the saw, so to speak, in regard to both gender-sensitive orientation as well as action.”

Kris ‘no comment’ on Mayor Bistek
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star) | Updated October 20, 2015 - 12:00am
(http://s12.postimg.org/udcql3hi5/Kris_Herbert_1.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Kris Aquino on Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista: I want to live a positive life so I refuse to dwell on the negative. Not worth the stress. Regarding politics, bawal mag-comment, it’s safe to say I am with Noy and will always be a supportive sister.
Unless the wind blows the wrong way, the shoot for All You Need is Pag-ibig (tentative?) will start on Friday, Oct. 23.
You see, the official Star Cinema entry in the Metro Filmfest in December has been going through changes that it’s not safe to say what’s definite and what’s not, depending on the mood of its lead star, Kris Aquino.
Initially, the movie was titled Mr. & Mrs. Split, inspired by the off-and-on “work in progress” between Kris and Quezon City Mayor Herbert “Bistek” Bautista, famously known as Kristek. The movie suffered delays when Kris became sickly and barely had time to finish her scenes in Etiquette for Mistresses, also from Star Cinema (still showing in some theaters).
Anyway, to make a roller-coaster story short, according to latest reports Bistek is out of the movie, with Antoinette Jadaone still as director (she’s behind the hit movie That Thing Called Tadhana and the hit Kapamilya soap On The Wings Of Love that turned its stars James Reid and Nadine Lustre, a.k.a. JaDine, the network’s hottest young love team). Derek Ramsay (who made a “surprise” appearance as Kris’ partner in Etiquette) is in. Did Bistek heave a sigh of relief?
The project is in danger of being plagued with more changes that even Star Cinema supervising producer Malou Santos doesn’t answer calls or text inquiries about the cast which has also been undergoing a merry-go-round. Are Xian Lim and Kim Chiu in…or out? Is JaDine in…or out? Are Richard Yap and Jodi Santamaria in…or out? I guess we’ll never know until Dec. 25 when the Metro Filmfest begins.
“I’m not allowed to answer any question,” Kris texted Funfare back.
She has been “burned” kasi. When Funfare broke the scoop that Derek was replacing Bistek, Star Cinema management accused Kris of being the source. (Malou, hindi si Kris ang nagdaldal. You should have looked closely at the people around you, straight in the eye, hehehe!)
Showbiz is no longer an issue between Kristek. Neither is politics.
In a recent interview, Bistek was quoted as saying, referring to Kris, “She also wants me to run for reelection. She told me that if I decided to run for the Senate, then she will also help me.”
Bistek has filed his COC (Certificate Of Candidacy) for reelection last week.
CA orders ‘arrest and arraignment’ of Willie Revillame
(http://s30.postimg.org/q8cho2529/wowowee_host_willie_revillame.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines – The Court of Appeals (CA) affirms the arrest of TV host Willie Revillame in connection to the case filed against him in 2011.
A child abuse complaint was filed against Revillame by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in the Quezon City regional Trial Court. This is in relation to the March 12, 2011 episode of the defunct TV5 show “Willing Willie,” where he persuaded a child to do “macho-dancer” like dance moves in one of the show’s segments.
The Quezon City RTC Branch 86 has ordered the arrest of Revillame, penned by Judge Roberto Buenaventura on Oct. 4, 2013. This decision led the camp of the TV host to submit an appeal to the CA.
According to Associate Justice Ma. Luisa Quijano-Padilla, the CA’s decision penned on September 7 has found a “probable cause for the petitioner's commission of a crime.”
They now order his “arrest and arraignment” so that “that this case may properly proceed to trial, where the merits of both parties' evidence and allegations may be weighed.”
CA added that “as a final note, we observe that the resolution of this case had long been delayed because of the petitioner's refusal to submit to the trial court's jurisdiction and his erroneous invocation of the Rules in his favor.”
Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
Meanwhile, other reports quoted Revillame’s lawyer Nards De Vera where he clarified that the CA didn’t order the arrest of his client.
“What the CA said that it is okay for the RTC to issue a warrant of arrest so that Willie could be arraigned,” he said.
“I hope we would emphasize is what the CA is saying is you may proceed for the trial so that the guilt or innocence of Willie can be determined by the court. So now we will proceed with the trial,” he added.

Ateneo Blue Eagle in road rage incident apologizes, ready to face consequences
Posted on October 20, 2015 by Marcus V

*John Apacible says he’s deeply ashamed of what he did
*He’s ready to face sanctions and penalties
*He’s been banned from team practice and the rest of UAAP season
MANILA, Philippines – Days after he was caught on camera in a drunken road rage incident in Timog Avenue last Sunday, Ateneo Blue Eagle John Apacible has apologized for his unruly behavior.
In a letter posted on Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU)’s Facebook page, Apacible said he was sorry for his unruly behavior and is ready to face the consequences for the commotion he caused.
“I would like to beg forgiveness for what I did the other day,” he wrote in Filipino. “I know I did wrong and I am deeply ashamed for my family, team, school, and everyone else who was affected by it.”
“I was only thinking of myself and forgot my responsibilities,” he added. “I am ready to face whatever consequences there are for my mistakes. Sorry again.”
In the video which has since gone viral, a clearly inebriated Apacible can be seen bragging about his councilor’s vanity plate and challenging the person who recorded the incident to a fight even as he was being restrained by responding policemen.
The recorder claimed Apacible assaulted a delivery van driver and hit not only his car but also those of passing motorists.
In the end Apacible was allowed by the policemen to drive away.
ADMU later positively identified Apacible as the assailant in the video and promised to mete out disciplinary sanctions.
While the school has yet to decide the appropriate penalties, the Blue Eagles have banned Apacible from joining team practices and the rest of the UAAP season.
“John made a mistake and it will not be tolerated,” said Team Manager Epok Quimpo. “He will face game suspensions, and he will not be allowed to practice.”

Sam Smith sings the Spectre theme
SOUNDS FAMILIAR By Baby A. Gil (The Philippine Star) | Updated October 21, 2015 - 12:00am
(http://s3.postimg.org/413kmbns3/Sam_Smith_2.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Smith is in very good company as James Bond theme interpreter and he has come out with a song that is most deserving of the honor.
If you were the latest singing sensation, you know the kind that brings whole arenas to its knees, what would you say is the best way to follow up a series of hit singles, a multi-Platinum selling album and several Brits and Grammy trophies? Sam Smith faced that dilemma a year ago and he decided that it would be best to trace the footsteps of fellow Brit Adele from two years ago. And that is, he will sing the theme song of a James Bond movie.
Remember that Adele at that time was being hailed as the savior of the British music industry with massive big sellers in songs like Rolling In The Deep, Someone Like You, phenomenal albums in 21 and 18 and some Brit and Grammy trophies. While fans were waiting with bated breath for what she will do next, she surprised everybody by composing and performing the theme for a James Bond movie, Skyfall. It now looks like Adele made an excellent decision. Skyfall turned out not only be a big hit, it also won for Adele the Academy Award, Golden Globe and Grammy for Best Movie Theme Song.
Then came Smith, another Brit savior with his album The Lonely Hour and songs like Stay With Me, Leave Your Lover, I’m Not The Only One and I’ve Told You Now. He also has those very desirable Brit and Grammy trophies at home. Now like Adele, his latest recording is the theme from the upcoming James Bond movie, Spectre starring Daniel Craig. The song is titled Writing’s On The Wall. It was composed by Sam and Jimmy Napes. Maybe, it will also give Smith an Oscar, plus a Globe, Grammy, etc.
Now, there have already been 24 James Bond movies since the series started in 1962 with Dr. No and Sean Connery as M16 Agent 007 James Bond. And beginning with that now very familiar piece of music composed by Monty Norman and performed by John Barry and Orchestra to signal Bond’s presence, the James Bond theme has become as iconic as the James Bond girls, James Bond villains, martinis and Aston Martins and other items associated with Ian Fleming’s creation. Thus these past years have seen a succession of varied artists do their own takes on the James Bond theme.
These range from Paul McCartney himself to Madonna, Carly Simon, to Tina Turner. Smith shares a singular distinction with the legendary vocalists Matt Monroe and Tom Jones. Smith, Monroe and Jones are the only three solo male British artists to record a James Bond theme. Monroe’s was From Russia With Love in 1963 while Jones’ was Thunderball in 1965. There have already been lots of British acts but like McCartney’s Wings and Duran Duran, they were all groups or females like Shirley Bassey and Adele. Incidentally, Bassey is the only one who was tapped to sing the theme three times. She came out for Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker.
Smith is in very good company as James Bond theme interpreter and he came out with a song that is most deserving of the honor. Writing’s On The Wall is a soulful, lushly arranged ballad that really shows off Smith’s heartfelt falsettos. There is an air of danger and doomed romance in the song which I am sure you will agree are right ingredients for a James Bond movie.
Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
Since Spectre is due for release before the end of the year, it is quite likely that Writing’s On The Wall will be in Smith’s song line-up when he arrives for his first Manila concert next month. Remember that he was set to perform here last May but he had to undergo vocal chord surgery and had to stop singing for several months. Well, his voice is now as good as new and he will be performing on Nov. 21 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
For fans and for the curious, here is the list of James Bond films, their theme songs and performers: Dr. No, 1962, James Bond theme performed by Barry and Orchestra; From Russia With Love 1963, From Russia With Love by Monroe; Goldfinger, 1964, Goldfinger performed by Bassey; Thunderball, 1965 Thunderball performed by Jones; You Only Live Twice, 1967, You Only Live Twice and by Nancy Sinatra; On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, 1969, We Have All The Time In The World performed by Louie Armstrong.
Diamonds Are Forever 1971, Diamonds Are Forever performed by Bassey; Live And Let Die, 1973, Live And Let Die by Paul McCartney and Wings; The Man With The Golden Gun, 1974 The Man With The Golden Gun sung by Lulu; The Spy Who Loved Me 1977, Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon; Moonraker, 1979, Moon Raker performed again by Shirley Bassey; For Your Eyes Only 1981, For Your Eyes Only performed by Sheena Easton; Octopussy 1983 All Time High by Rita Coolidge.
A View To A Kill 1985 A View To A Kill performed by Duran Duran; The Living Daylights 1987, The Living Daylights by the Icelandic band A-ha; Licence To Kill 1989, Licence To Kill performed by Gladys Knight; Golden Eye 1995, Golden Eye by Tina Turner; Tomorrow Never Dies 1997, Tomorrow Never Dies by Sheryl Crow.
The World Is Not Enough 1999, The World Is Not Enough by Garbage; Die Another Day 2002, Die Another Day by Madonna; Casino Royale 2006, You Know My Name by Chris Cornell; Quantum of Solace 2008, Another Way To Die performed by Jack White and Alicia Keys; Skyfall 2012, Skyfall performed by Adele; and Spectre 2015, Writing’s On The Wall by composed by Smith and Jimmy Napes and also performed by Smith.

MANILA, Philippines - Many hearts were warmed when Maine Mendoza reached out to a certain senior citizen who waited six hours in line to get "Tamang Panahon" tickets, only to find out that there's no more left.
The lolo's story was first told by a fan-made account, Perfect TiMeng on October 18. According to the post, the old man endured long hours of waiting instead of getting a special treatment because he wanted to be fair to all those who wanted to buy tickets.
The story went viral, catching the "kalyeserye" star's attention.
Maine took to Twitter to share the old man's story and ask about whether anyone can direct him to the senior citizen.
With the help of the AlDub Nation, she found lolo Lawrence Dy, a 64-year-old seaman.
According to a GMA news report, Dy only wanted general admission tickets and he was really surprised when someone called in behalf of Maine to tell him that she is giving him two VIP tickets.
The much-anticipated "Tamang Panahon" episode of Eat Bulaga's kalyesere will take place at the Philippine Arena on October 24, Saturday.

MANILA, Philippines - "Tamang Panahon" has finally arrived.

Midway through the show, Alden and Yaya Dub met on stage to the tune of Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud."
"Maine, ang tagal kong hinintay 'tong chance na 'to, to say that God gave me you. Ang layo na rin narating natin. Dalawang taong naghahanap, and finally nagkita na rin. Salamat sa'yo," Alden told Maine before singing Bryan White's "God Gave Me You," the song that has become the theme song for AlDub love team. Maine even sang a few lines of the song with Alden.
"Alden, thank you. Alam mo pinagdasal ko talaga ang araw na ito. Ganun din naman yung gusto kong sabihin sa iyo, God gave me you," Maine told the GMA-7 actor after the song number.
She added: "Ang dami ng nagbago sa buhay natin, ang dami ng nangyari, pero may mga bagay pa din na hindi magbabago. Isa doon, ikaw at ako."
Lola Nidora told Alden and Maine Yaya Dub to get to know each other better.
"Gusto ko magkakilala muna kayong mabuti. Maging magkaibigan. Hindi ko naman hahawakan ang tibok ng puso ninyo. Ipangako ninyo sa akin na hindi ninyo sisirain ang tiwalang binigay sa inyo ng mga Lola," she said, adding Alden is now welcome in her mansion.
The two also took the event as an opportunity to thank their fans.
"Maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat na nakidalo at nakisaya po sa amin ngayong araw," Maine said.
She added: "Hindi po ninyo alam kung gaano kalaking bagay sa amin na makita po kayo ditong sumusuporta at nagmamahal po sa amin. Nakakatuwa nga pong isipin na simula't simula po hanggang tamang panahon, andyan pa rin kayong lahat, hindi nawala."
Alden, meanwhile, said: "Gusto ko po sanang magpasalamat, of course, kay Lord. Kaming dalawa ni Maine, gusto naming magpasalamat sa Kanya kasi kung hindi dahil sa Kanya hindi namin kayo makukuha na suportahan kami."
"Sa lahat po ng nagmamahal sa amin ni Maine, kayo po ang may gawa kung bakit naging posible ito."
"Kaya para sa atin, tuloy ang forever," he said.
Alden and Yaya Dub also took a "selfie" with the crowd inside the Philippine Arena, which has a capacity of 55,000.
As of 2 p.m., the hashtag for the October 24 show #AlDubEBTamangPanahon has amassed over 20 million tweets.

Angel Locsin pulls out of Darna movie project
(philstar.com) | Updated October 26, 2015
(http://s3.postimg.org/xe9z5ow4j/angellocsin.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines - Angel Locsin will no longer fly as Darna on the big screen.
According to a press statement sent by ABS-CBN to media outfits on Monday, the actress decided to pull out of the upcoming Darna movie to be produced by Star Cinema due to health concerns.
Angel developed a disc bulge in her spine after her "various rigorous training regimens for two years," the statement explained.
However, Angel is still set to finish her Star Cinema movie with Vilma Santos.
The complete statement reads:
"It is with deep regret that we announce that ABS-CBN, Star Cinema, and Angel Locsin have mutually agreed that Angel will no longer do the “Darna” movie due to health reasons. Because of her passion, dedication, and commitment to the project, she underwent various rigorous training regimens for two years. Unfortunately, this led her to developing a disc bulge in her spine. This then limits her from doing strenuous activities such as stunts, liftings, and the usage of harness, all of which will be required of her for the action scenes in the film. Aside from that, she will need to undergo rehabilitation and treatment.
And so while we have envisioned her to do the iconic Filipino heroine, Angel’s health and safety are both our primary concern. Hence, the decision.
Fans need not worry. They can still look forward to seeing her in a movie that she is currently shooting with Vilma Santos. Angel’s physical condition does not prevent her from finishing the said project.
Again, we sincerely thank Angel for her hard work and pray for her recovery."
was in 2013 when Star Cinema head Malou Santos revealed that Angel will play the iconic Pinoy superhero in an upcoming movie.
Angel first played Darna in a GMA-7 TV series in 2005. -
Stylist Liz Uy speaks up on issue over Maine Mendoza's 'Tamang Panahon' gown
(http://s7.postimg.org/oruvdgl7v/maine_mendoza_shoot.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines — Celebrity stylist Liz Uy weighed in on the controversial gown Maine "Yaya Dub" Mendoza wore during the "Sa Tamang Panahon" event of noontime show "Eat Bulaga" on Saturday.
Liz's Stylized Studio was hired to be the stylist of "Sa Tamang Panahon" and chose a Francis Libiran dress for Maine to wear during the show's main event: the on-stage meeting of her character Yaya Dub and Alden Richards.
But netizens questioned the decision to make Maine wear a "recycled" dress that was previously worn by Kim Chiu in a fashion show in 2013.
In a statement sent to fashion news site Style Bible, Liz explained why she chose the controversial gown.
“Maine’s gown was chosen among several gowns because its style best fitted the show’s Cinderella theme. The gown, which was first showcased at Francis Libiran’s fashion show as part of his Bangalore collection, was purchased by Tape, Inc. for the event.”
Maine is yet to address the issue directly, although "Eat Bulaga" mainstay Allan K took to social media to comment on the controversy.
"Wag na lagyan ng issue 'yung gown. Ang importante, nang sinuot ni Meng 'yun, history ang turn out. Argument anyone?" he said.
The comedian also said: "Para matigil na lahat-ipasuot nyo 'yung gown kahit kaninong Pinay, punuin n'ya ang Philippine Arena tapos i-break n'ya ang 39.5 million tweets. Ok?"

Ang lalaking walang pahinga
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star)
(http://s14.postimg.org/m6rvbu8wx/Jose_Manalo_Eat_Bulaga.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Like the rest of the Bulaga dabarkads, Jose Manalo can’t explain how or why the AlDub kalyeserye became a monster hit worldwide.
“Biglaan lang,” Jose told Funfare. “It wasn’t planned at all. We were just told that Wally was going to change his duktora character to a lola with a yaya.”
That’s in Eat, Bulaga’s Juan For All, All For Juan segment. Wally is Wally Bayola who plays Lola Nidora in the two-month-old kalyeserye that catapulted the split-screen love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza/Yaya Dub to overnight stardom. Jose plays three characters: as Frankie Arenolli, Yaya Dub’s jilted Italian suitor; as Don Franing, the suitor’s Gucci-clad grandfather; and as Tinidora, one of the triplets with Lola Nidora and Paolo Ballesteros as Tidora.
“A few days after Maine joined the show,” continued Jose, “Alden was caught by the camera on the other screen watching Maine. Parang kinilig si Maine. That’s how everything started. Biglang naging love team na sina Alden at Maine.”
AlDub followers agree that Jose, as well as Wally and Paolo, play a big part in the kalyeserye’s success. When the AlDub pair is off-screen, Jose and Wally help sustain the viewers’ interest with their crazy-wacky comic style, dressed in identical fashion with over-done make-up. Jose clicks with his harot (flirtatious) portrayal of Tinidora which is how people have started calling him.
“We are supposed to be triplets with different personality,” said Jose, “so I thought of how to make Tinidora different from Lola Nidora and Tidora. Si Paolo maganda na, si Wally mataray at masungit, so ginawa kong malantong na matanda si Tinidora.”
While Lola Nidora has three bodyguards all named Rogelio and Paolo has his own hunk bodyguards all named Bernardo, Jose also has his own bodyguards (Cuando, Cuando, Cuando) who seem to have, as Jose himself jokingly described them, risen from the grave.
The kalyeserye cast is given bullet points every day as guide, there’s no script at all, and it’s up to them to improvise on the sequence.
“The studio hosts are a big help,” said Jose, referring to Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon and Allan K who usually monitor the Juan For All segment. “They feed us pointers on what to do.”
With Alden and Wally, Jose is seen on TV from Monday to Saturday, now including Sundays on the new GMA noontime show Sunday PINASaya. Saturday nights, he co-hosts Celebrity Bluff with Eugene Domingo, also on GMA. Every now and then, he performs at Zirkoh which is owned and managed by Allan K. Yes, you can call Jose ang lalaking walang pahinga.
Jose also acts as field reporter Gasgas Abelgas (patterned after you-know-who) for Tuko TV, keeping viewers on what’s coming next during the kalyeserye’s cliffhanger portion in which the triplets are shown “frozen.”
What you see is what you get, assured Jose.
“Palabiro na talaga ako since I was a child growing up in Moriones, Tondo, Manila. Lahat ng tao d’un alaskador. Hilig kong mambuska ng tao. If you don’t know me, mapipikon ka sa akin, sa mga biro ko.”
He’s the second to the eldest among five children.
“I come from a happy family. Medyo kapos pero masaya,” said Jose who reached only up to second year in college at UE. “Bulakbol kasi ako, sayaw lang nang sayaw.”
He started as a clown with Caloy Atayde’s Boyoyong Clowns that performed in kiddie parties.
“I also dance and I used to join dance contests in Eat, Bulaga. It was direk German Escueta who got me into GMA. I was a member of direk’s dance group and his basketball team.”
His acting debut was dramatic, not comedic.
“It was on the GMA action-drama series Valiente,” related Jose whose real first name is Ariel. “Ang role ko parang boy-boy, Jose ang pangalan. When Valiente ended, direk German hired me as PA (Production Assistant) and audition master of Bulaga! The name Jose stuck. They always told those auditioning, ‘Look for Jose!’ Then, I became the floor director.
“Magulo na talaga ako. Mando ako nang mando sa mga artista. Every now and then they would show me on the screen wearing a headset. They asked me to remove the headset and got me as alalay in the Laban O Bawi segment, then in Bulagaan. I woke up one morning and realized na tuluy-tuloy na ako sa Bulaga.”
While Wally has theater experience in high school in Naga City, Jose has no acting background at all.
“Natuto na lang,” said Jose.
Wally (real name: Walter James Bayola) grew up in Bicol, in Malinao, Albay.
“Ever since I was a kid,” Wally told Funfare in a previous interview, “laruan na ako ng mga tiyahin at tiyuhin ko. When I joined the church choir, my friends treated me the same way, laruan nila. I finished grade/elementary school at a Catholic school in Tabaco, Albay. It was the priest who took care of me. When he died, I went back to stay with my lola in Naga City. I joined the theater so I could get a scholarship in Naga College. I have a college degree, X-Ray Technician.”
He started at The Library as a stand-up comedian, along with Pooh and Teri Aunor, and got into Bulaga! as part of the Bulagaan segment where his tandem with Jose was born. They clicked as hosts of the Juan For All, All For Juan segment of Bulaga! In 2012, they topbilled A Party For Every Juan, a sold-out concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
They are both separated from their wives. Wally has four children and Jose has five, one of them indie actor Nicco Manalo.
No, there’s no professional jealousy between them; neither is there any scene-stealing from each other.
“Nagtutulungan kami,” said Jose.
They are like two peas in a pod, useless without the other.
Incidentally, asked how Maine/Yaya Dub is on the set, Jose echoed what Wally said in a Funfare interview.
“She’s very quiet, tahimik na bata pero masaya din. Pero may kalokohan din sa ulo.”
Do they talk about Alden?
“Oo naman. I usually tease her and Alden.”
Does he think Alden and Maine will end up as sweethearts in real life?
“I think so. Parang may tama na ang Maine na ‘yan. They are always being teased so mukhang nagkaka-igihan na. Madalas niloloko ko siya about Alden. It’s possible.”
Alden said he’s fancy-free and so is Maine. So, Jose is right, it’s possible!
sir james salamat dito tungkol kay idol jose pagdating sa pagpapatawa+k sa iyo :P

Solenn Heussaff keeps mum on wedding preparations
By Joyce Jimenez (philstar.com) | Updated October 30, 2015
(http://s2.postimg.org/lgircu349/solenn_heussaff.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines – Solenn Heussaff kept mum about the details of her upcoming wedding with Nico Bolzicco.
“Secret,” Solenn replied when asked about the preparations for her wedding in an interview on Wednesday, during the premier of her upcoming film “Flotsam” that will be in cinemas on November 4.
“I don’t want to talk about it, kasi it’s supposed to be personal,” she added. “Pero when it happens I’ll share it with everyone. Pero ‘yong preparation ayoko ng masyadong mga tanong, it makes everything messy.”
What she shared instead are her upcoming projects which include GMA’s primetime series “Marimar” that stars Megan Young and Tom Rodriguez.
“Si Capuchin Blanchet medyo strange, pero well-educated woman,” she said describing her character. “She’s French-Spanish, she’s a dancer and she’s going to help Marimar become someone else.”
Aside from the series, she’s also in the magazine show “Taste Buddies” that recently celebrated its third year.
Solenn is also working on two movies: “Love is Blind” where she stars with Derek Ramsay and Kean Cipriano that will hit cinemas in January 2016.
Alden on AlDub craze: Is it for real?
By Nathalie Tomada (The Philippine Star) | Updated October 31, 2015
(http://s1.postimg.org/l0heif3cf/alden_richard_3.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines – AlDub has been described as a pairing that “nobody saw coming.” But there’s another reason that the now phenomenal love team of Alden Richards and Maine “Yaya Dub” Mendoza in Eat, Bulaga’s Kalyeserye segment was meant to be.
GMA sources said that it was supposedly the last week of Alden’s hosting stint in Eat, Bulaga when cameras caught Maine breaking out of her stern Yaya Dub character and looking thrilled at the sight of Alden at the studio, watching her “dubsmashing” on the remote Juan for All, All for Juan segment. That fateful July 16 episode gave birth to the one-of-a-kind “split-screen romance” of AlDub.
Alden was put on the longest-running noontime show after GMA Artist Center asked Tape, Inc., the producers of Eat, Bulaga, if the Kapuso actor could guest-host while waiting for network projects at that time.
“It was very providential,” the source said.
Fifteen “weeksaries” after and you have the “hottest” love team in Philippine showbiz today, tapped by one company after another for brand endorsement.
Last Thursday, Alden was launched as the celebrity ambassador of the supplement product Snowcaps, his eighth endorsement deal to date. Six of those endorsements came with the three-month AlDub fever. Expect more to come.
Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
“I’ve prayed for this moment to come in my life, in my career. But di ko naman po in-expect that it will happen this fast. So, every day, when I host on Eat, Bulaga and when I see the people, I still get overwhelmed. And with the number of media present here, I feel overwhelmed. Before, I also had presscons but it was just one table (of press people). But now, ang dami niyo uy!” the 23-year-old actor laughingly told the media, imitating another Kalyeserye main character Lola Nidora (played by Wally Bayola).
“On top of that, I’m just happy and feeling blessed by the love I’m getting from all of you. My management, my family and I couldn’t believe that this is happening to me now. So, every day, we try to keep our feet firmly planted on the ground,” said Alden.
Recalling the 55,000-strong crowd that showed up at the Philippine Arena last Saturday to witness AlDub’s highly-anticipated Tamang Panahon, their first concert together and longest face-to-face encounter, Alden said that he couldn’t help but ask himself, “Is this for real? Did the people really come here to see me and Maine? Until now, it hasn’t sunk in. I thank the Lord for everything that has come my way.”
AlDub has been deconstructed by sociologists, pop culture pundits and marketing experts to explain its magic. Even BBC News, Spotify and US diplomats have caught on the craze.
With Pinoys being a sucker for romance, it’s not hard to see that its appeal also lies in the unfolding reel (or real?) love story of Alden and Yaya Dub on live television, amidst challenges, Traditional Courtship 101 lessons and comical situations induced by lolas Nidora, Tinidora (Jose Manalo) and Tidora (Paolo Ballesteros). The lines between scripted and reality TV are further blurred by the matchmaking and running commentary of the EB hosts, as well as real-time reactions of a social media-savvy audience.
Off the Kalyeserye, Alden said that Tamang Panahon marked the start of a getting-to-know phase.
He said of Maine, the 20-year-old Internet darling who has successfully crossed over to mainstream TV: “I’m starting to know her more and I think masarap siyang makatrabaho kasi totoo siyang tao, not fake, she’s not showbiz. Maybe that’s what’s lacking in our industry now, yung mga taong hindi masyado showbiz. She’s not like that. So, I always look forward to working with her… makulit din gaya ko.”
“She’s still shy towards me,” observed Alden in the few occasions that they were together in one place, like in last Thursday’s “15th weeksary.” In off-cam conversations, “I always ask her questions that are comfortable, not really serious. Slowly, na-be-break yung wall of shyness niya.”
And even if the record-breaking 41 million tweets during the Tamang Panahon event are hankering for them to end up as a real-life couple, Alden said that they are not feeling the pressure. “Mostly po ng AlDub fans, they’re really hoping for this to continue and to develop into something romantic. But no pressure. We just enjoy every moment. As Tape, Inc. boss Mr. Tony Tuviera said, you just enjoy your moment. You enjoy your job. Work together. Be good friends. Yun muna and we’ll see kung saan kayo dadalhin.”
Nevertheless, Alden said that the “overwhelming” patronage of fans and popularity he’s experiencing now aren’t possible without Maine. “This is a team. This is love team. Tulungan po. Kami pong dalawa ni Maine, we help each other to be better in this industry.”
Meanwhile, Alden isn’t complaining despite a packed schedule, from promoting his now certified platinum album in mall shows, holding fans day around the country, to filming for the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival entry My Bebe Love with Vic Sotto, Ai-Ai delas Alas and Maine. Alden and Maine started shooting scenes together yesterday.
“It’s my decision to commit to a lot of schedules because I’m a workaholic. Hinahanap siya ng katawan ko everytime. I’m okay as long as I can have my sleep for a few hours, my massage and my gym (time).”
One sure thing he won’t be doing is endorsing a political candidate in the elections as he denied rumors that he was offered P100M to do so. “That is not true, nobody came to offer that much money to endorse a politician. Personally, I don’t want to endorse anyone. I don’t want to mix showbiz and politics. There were offers before during the first two months of AlDub to endorse a political party, a political person, but I took a stand po, that perhaps it’s better to concentrate on showbiz.”
There are also no plans of doing a major concert to the tune of an eight-figure talent fee.
Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMA senior AVP for Alternative Productions, said, “There’s no offer. I was shocked (by the report). I get messages from the producer but never a formal offer.”
GMA Artist Center solely manages the career of Alden. Lara said they’ve been getting a lot of invitations for tours here and abroad for Alden, but projects for Tape, Inc. as well as GMA are the main priority.
“We’ve always seen such great potential in Alden. With the roles we’ve given him, he’s always leading man especially in the last two projects Carmela (with no less than Marian Rivera) and Ilustrado (as the young National Hero Jose Rizal). We also tried to develop him as a host with Bet ng Bayan. Of course, nothing beats what has happened to him in Eat, Bulaga. I think it worked because maganda yung material and yung combination nila (ni Maine), they clicked! All the elements came together,” Lara said.
“We’re very thankful to (Eat, Bulaga) for welcoming Alden to their program. Kami yung nakiusap kasi walang show at that time si Alden. GMA is very supportive of him staying in Eat, Bulaga and of course, we’re looking forward to doing more projects with him in 2016. Hopefully, (it will be) a teleserye, within the first quarter of the year.”

She also revealed that her FACEBOOK account was also compromised by hackers.
Before the Twitter account was reclaimed, Anonymous Philippines apologized to fans of Maine and Alden Richards.
"Wala po kaming masamang intensyon. We use the internet to communicate with you. Nais lang namin magparating ng mahalagang mensahe," the group said on its FACEBOOK page.
Maine recently has one of the fastest-growing Twitter accounts in the world, according to socialbakers.com.
A busy day in the life of Wally as Lola Nidora
A busy day in the life of Wally as Lola Nidora
(http://s22.postimg.org/6e6st4rk1/Wally_Bayola_1.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
It was 2:30 in the afternoon last Friday, Oct. 30, when we caught Wally Bayola at the end of a crowded street in Pamplona 1 in Alabang-Zapote a few minutes after the day’s cliffhanger ending of the Eat, Bulaga! kalyeserye. The day’s location for the show’s Juan For All/All For Juan segment was, unlike previous sets, unannounced to avoid attracting what could be uncontrollable crowd from neighboring barangays.
Together with the “live” audience of the kalyeserye that has been trending worldwide (even BBC has featured the
Pabebe Wave recently, with diplomats and action star Vin Diesel shown doing “it”), we were soaked in sweat in the humid late-October heat. In her Lola Nidora make-up/get-up, Wally was the only “coolest” creature around, thanks to Maine Mendoza/Yaya Dub who was as usual constantly waving the world’s widest black fan around her. Jose Manalo/Tinidora had begged off for the day. Paolo Ballesteros/Tidora was rushing out maybe for another appointment.
On TV, the set did look big but actually the kalyeserye actors were confined to a corner at the back of the house, under what looked like an improvised awning. As we walked into the house, AlDub Nationals scrambled over one another to get a “selfie” chance with Wally. Working since earlier that day, Wally showed no sign of weariness and obliged with everybody, unmindful of the security guards who tried to control the crowd. Wally with a girl holding up a sketch of Lola Nidora, click! Wally smiling with an excited fan here, there and everywhere…click, click!! Wally, spotting an old woman on a wheelchair, posed for another shot with her…click, click, click!!!
We were told that Wally had a shoot for a commercial in White Plains, Quezon City, at 4 o’clock. At the sala, we did a fast-break chat with Wally, still wrapped in his Lola Nidora persona, still in his element, with energy levels still high, with a ready (not “forced”) smile as he waved at more fans at the SRO sala, waiting for yet more “selfie” moments with him. Part of our interview was aired the next day on the new GMA show CelebriTV (replacement for the 20-year-old Startalk). For the benefit of those who were not tuned in, Funfare is printing slightly-edited excerpts (with Lola Nidora quoted as he spoke in Filipino, for effect).
In real life, do you have grandchildren?
“Yes, I have two.”
Do you also teach them the same values you’re teaching Yaya Dub?
“Lahat ‘yan, lahat ‘yan! Respeto sa nakatatanda at maghintay sa tamang panahon. Huwag magmadali. Lagi kong ipinapaalala sa kanila kasi mahirap makipagkumpetensya ngayon sa bagong henerasyon.”
Lola, marami ka raw manliligaw…including Ferdinand Magellan, si Heneral Luna and Albert Einstein. Nakapag-antay ba sila ng tamang panahon?
“Hindi nila naabot ang tamang panahon. Kasi nga may mga bagay-bagay at uga-ugali na sa simula pa lang ay hindi kami nararapat sa isa’t isa.”
Sinong pinaka-sweet sa kanila?
“I had another suitor, si Miguel de Explorer, at siya ang pinaka-sweet sa lahat. Pinagkasundo kami ng aming mga magulang after mag-break kami ni Anselmo (Alden Richards lookalike). Pero si Anselmo naman kasi ang natipuhan ko talaga. Na parang akala ko ka-match ko talaga siya pero feeling lang ‘yun, feeling lang. Kaso ayaw ng mga magulang ko. Sinunod ko siyempre ang mga magulang ko. Bilang anak dapat susunod ka sa mga magulang. Pinaghiwalay kami.”
By the way, what’s your beauty secret at mukhang bata ka pa?
“Exercise, tamang pagkain, bawal sa akin ‘yung mga kung anu-anong substitute na pagkain. Kailangan talaga lutong bahay, gulay, masustansya, ayoko ng mga substitute para mabusog ka lang. And water.”
You are super busy. Monday to Saturday, Eat, Bulaga! On Sundays, Sunday PINASaya. Every now and then, sa Klownz (owned by Allan K). May time ka pa bang matulog?
“Ang tulog ko ay yung tapos ng trabaho kapag may medyo konting chance para matulog. Doon ako natutulog. Wala nang chika-chika, wala nang tambay-tambay, diretso pahinga.”
Lola, bakit napapayag kang sina Alden at Yaya na magkita? Nagyakapan pa, nag-iyakan pa.
“Kaya kung bakit naibigay ko ang tamang panahon, sa totoo niyan hirap na hirap na rin ako sa Aldub Nation. Marami ang nagagalit sa akin. Kumbaga binigyan ko sila ng chance, tama na ang mga one-foot, one foot; tama na ang plywood. Dapat magkakilanlan muna sila. Makilala nila ang isa’t-isa, maging magkaibigan para mas malakas ang pundasyon ng pag-iibigan.”
Ano bang traits ni Alden ang gusto mo?
“Mabait. Matiisin talaga at walang reklamo. Yan ang nagustuhan ko sa bata. Si Alden nakita ko sa kanya kahit anong iutos mo, all the way. Very down-to-earth ang bata. Ganun din si Maine.”
Mapadalas na kaya ang pag-akyat ng ligaw ni Alden?
“Tinanong ko nga si Maine kasi sabi ko sobrang kilig naman nitong dalawa. Sinubukan ko si Maine. Sabi ko Maine, PAANO kung hingin ni Alden ang matamis na oo? Mabuti na lang maganda ang sagot ng bata. Ang sabi niya sa akin, siyempre lola, manligaw muna.”
Lola, sa tingin mo gaano kamahal nina Maine at Alden ang isa’t-isa?
“Mahal na mahal nila ang isa’t isa katulad ng pagmamahal nila sa kanilang mga sarili, at katulad ng pagmamahal sa mga supporters nila.”
PAANO‘yung first kiss nila?
“Wala, wala.”
Ano ang kondisyon sa first kiss?
“Kung ibibigay na muna ang matamis na oo. Kina Alden at kay Maine, kayong dalawa, alam kong bata pa kayo kahit sabihing nasa tamang edad na kayo, ang bilin ko nga ‘yan na shut up na ako sa inyo, gawin nyo na ang parte nyo, kilalanin nyo ang bawat isa nang maayos nang mula sa puso n’yo. Yun lang.”

Jessy Mendiola speaks up on “Darna” rumors
(http://s1.postimg.org/ciqn6ocsv/4_Jessy_Mendiola_550x264.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Jessy Mediola says it will be an honor if she’ll be chosen to play “Darna“
She clarifies nothing is sure yet and it all depends on the management
She says the new “Darna” must prove why she’s chosen
MANILA, Philippines – Jessy Mendiola said she is flattered to be considered by some as a good replacement for Angel Locsin to play “Darna” in the planned movie adaptation of Mars Ravelo’s Filipino comics heroine.
According to an article written by James Patrick Anarcon for Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP), the 22-year-old actress said: “I really get flattered and I don’t know, kinikilig ako when they put a comment about that.”
She will be very honored if she will be chosen to be the new “Darna”, but she clarified nothing is sure yet and it all depends on the management if the role will be offered to her or not.
She also emphasized there’s no hidden meaning behind the photo she shared on Instagram, which was taken at a beach resort in Anilao, Batangas, wherein she was seen wearing a red two-piece swimwear, pretty close to the red costume of the iconic Pinay superheroine.
She said: “No, wala siyang meaning, walang hint, walang paramdam. Alangan mag-pose ako nang naka-turtle neck sa beach?” (No, there’s no meaning, or anything behind it at all. Should I pose wearing turtle neck while at a beach resort?”)
When asked what trait she thinks the chosen “Darna” should have, Mendiola replied: “I think you should undergo proper training, prove to them bakit ka pinili and that’s because you can be your own Darna, not to imitate kung anong ginawa niya.”
Angel Locsin dropped from the movie because of health reasons.
An article by Philippine Daily Inquirer disclosed that when Locsin was interviewed by veteran TV host Boy Abunda in the October 26 episode of “Tonight with Boy Abunda,” she said it is hard for her that she would no longer be doing the movie, but she must because her own health is already at risk.
She shared that the pain she feels because of the injury to her intervertebral disc is unbearable and there are days when she can’t even walk.
At present, Locsin is undergoing therapy and also considering having a medical operation abroad.

parang hindi ata nababagay sa kanya ang maging Darna hehehe... nakatatak pa sa isipan ng madalng pipol ang last Darna na si Angel Locsin... playing a well known local heroine needs charisma to sell... ewan kung mayroon si Jessy nyan...

Good choice na rin si Jessy M. as Darna/Narda pero better if si Liza Soberano ang newest at youngest ever Darna. :D

MANILA, Philippines - Jessy Mendiola confirms that she and JM de Guzman have called it quits.
Despite this, the ABS-CBN actress said they remain "friends" and are "still communicating."
"I think it's better if we focus on our respective priorities," she replied when asked what caused their breakup in an interview on Thursday. "I just want to focus on myself and that's the same with him."
This is the second time Jessy and JM have broken up. The two previously had a two-year relationship that ended in 2013.
They got back together early this year after JM made a showbiz comeback in 2014.
On the possibility of being back together again for the third time Jessy said, "I don't want to answer na parang alam ko lahat."
They may have broken up, but the Kapamilya actress said she still sees JM as "an amazing person. He's very talented, he's very loving."

Maine Mendoza on fulfilled fantasy: Nobody thought it was possible
(philstar.com)
(http://s17.postimg.org/imlkyr53z/mainemendoza.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines — Maine Mendoza achieved another career milestone, and she's not ashamed to gush over it.
On Sunday, the 20-year-old "Eat Bulaga" mainstay turned sentimental on Instagram as she shared that she has fulfilled one of her childhood fantasies: having a billboard on EDSA.
The post comes with a photo of a billboard of her and "kalye serye" love team Alden Richards for one of the brands they are endorsing.
Maine admits asking her driver to stop along EDSA in front of her billboard so she could take a photo of it.
"I still remember saying 'Sana talaga magkaron din ako ng billboard ko someday!' as a kid. Passing by tons of billboards along the expressway, I used to rest my head on the car window while gaping at those gracefully photographed celebrities/models," she said.
Maine added: "I was dreaming to see myself on one of those advertisements one day; but back then, I knew that it will NEVER EVER come to reality. (Papa'no naman kasi 'di ba?) Until all of these happened..n nobody knew that my 'fantasies' would come true. Nobody thought it was possible."
Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
"I couldn't help but ask my driver to stop in front of this Coca-Cola billboard (along EDSA) so I could take a photo of it, but before that, I took a couple of seconds to just stare at it.. then I found myself whispering... 'Eto na...'eto na s'ya," she concluded.
The EDSA billboard is just one of the recent showbiz milestones of Maine, who shot to fame thanks to "Eat Bulaga's" segment and her onscreen partnership with Alden. Apart from her numerous endorsements, she is set to appear in "My Bebe Love," an entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.
Maine recently opened up about having self-esteem issues prior to entering showbiz.
"I used to be a girl with a poor self esteem—I actually think I still am. I never believed in my capability of doing things; it could be just me being a pessimist about almost everything but the thing is, I never really believed in myself," she said in an earlier Instagram post.

'Spectre' awarded Guiness World Record for largest film stunt explosion
(http://s13.postimg.org/rui6jh8h3/SPECTRE_guiness_world_record.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
"Spectre's" producer Barbara Broccoli and the film stars Daniel Craig and Léa Seydoux received the Guiness World Record award on behalf of the film's Special Effects and Miniature Effects Supervisor Chris Corbould.
MANILA, Philippines – In addition to breaking box office records across the globe, the 24th James Bond adventure "Spectre," has been awarded a Guinness World Records™ title for the Largest Film Stunt Explosion.
Producer Barbara Broccoli and stars Daniel Craig and Léa Seydoux – who appear in the scene – accepted the record certificate on behalf of the official title holder, Academy Award winner Chris Corbould, who served as Special Effects and Miniature Effects Supervisor of the film.
The incredible explosion was filmed for a pivotal scene in the film and took place on June 29, 2015 in Erfoud, Morocco and used 8,418 litres of fuel and 33kg of explosives.
https://youtu.be/AdtSdVop6V0 (https://youtu.be/AdtSdVop6V0)
Commenting on the announcement, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the producers of "Spectre" said, “it is absolutely tremendous that the Guinness World Records have recognised Chris Corbould’s incredible work in Spectre in which he created the largest explosion ever in film history.”
Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday added: “The James Bond movies are synonymous with pushing cinematic boundaries. The latest film, Spectre, has again captured the imagination of global cinemagoers, and this will certainly be due in part to the phenomenal stunts. The scene featuring the world’s largest film stunt explosion is spectacular and will live long in the memory as one of the outstanding moments in the Bond franchise.”
The Largest Film Stunt Explosion is an early front runner for inclusion in Guinness World Records 2017, out next year. The 2016 edition is currently on sale.
"Spectre" follows the release of "Skyfall," the biggest Bond film of all time, which took in $1.1 billion worldwide.
A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organization known as "Spectre."
Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr. White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of he organization.
As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot. As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.
Now showing across the Philippines, “Spectre” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Alden’s ‘Maine’ Event
CONVERSATIONS By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star) | Updated November 15, 2015
(http://s13.postimg.org/rmp4hsrlj/yayadub_and_alden_1.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
It was nearing midnight, and Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza hadn’t called it a day. They are still at it — that is, working. Earlier that day, they were titillating the millions of AlDub followers around the world on the Eat, Bulaga! kalyeserye as they celebrated the “100th-day anniversary” of their mind-blowing romance that started on split-screen and survived challenges imposed on them by Maine as Yaya Dub’s Lola Nidora (played by Wally Bayola) until they were finally allowed to meet, dissolving into a tender embrace during a record-breaking show at the 55,000-capacity Philippine Arena (generating 41 million tweets) and…at last, at last!...with the Dubsmash Queen Maine setting aside her fansigns and, yes, talking! It was a “Maine” event, recalling the day ages ago when silent-movie queen Greta Garbo pleasantly shocked the world when she found her voice.
As soon as they were done with the kalyeserye, did Alden and Maine rush home to unwind? Guess again. They went straight to the Blue Leaf Pavilion in McKinley Hill, Taguig City, for the shoot of My Bebe Love, the Vic Sotto-Ai-Ai delas Alas starrer directed by Joey Javier Reyes, an official 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry which marks AlDub’s transition from small screen to big screen. The movie is predicted to top the MMFF, what with the legions of AlDub Nationals (as the followers are known) supporting it in full force.
That was where we found Alden and Maine, at Blue Leaf, still looking fresh and full of energy after a grueling day. After the shoot, Alden would, as usual, go home to Laguna and Maine to Bulacan, and would wake up early the next day for the daily Bulaga grind. There were also the commercials that kept them busy, more than six so far (for, among others, McDonald’s, 555 Sardines, Zonrox, O+, Talk ‘n’ Text, Coke, Bear Brand, The Belo Medical Clinic, and soon Alden’s solo Bench Fix), and counting, making them the new Commercial King and Queen. Nothing succeeds like success, right?
During a lull in the shoot, we grabbed the chance for a chat with Alden and Maine, the very first time they were interviewed together, not through fansigns (like The STAR’s first interview with Maine solo) but verbally.
“Know what,” we told the couple, “we saw your huge billboards (particularly the Belo Clinic’s) along EDSA on our way here. Kaya siguro nagka-trapik-trapik because motorists were stopping and looking.”
Admitted Maine, “For a long time, every time I would pass through EDSA I would wonder when I would see myself on a billboard. I called it my tinatagong pangarap (hidden/secret dream). I can’t believe that it has come true!”
Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
Back then, during the three years that he was patiently waiting for his big break (although his home network GMA did give good projects like Ilustrado in which he played Dr. Jose Rizal and as Regine Velasquez’s co-host in the talent search Bet Ng Bayan, Alden only had one endorsement (Boardwalk, with clothes specially designed by his good friend Avel Bacudio). Things have changed.
Excerpts from our near-midnight Conversation:
How do you feel seeing all those billboards?
Maine: Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala. At kaming dalawa pa ni Alden!
Nag-sink in ba ang katotohanang kayo ang pinakasikat na young love team today?
Alden: There’s nothing to sink in kasi the success is not only of AlDub’s but of the whole show, the Dabarkads. We owe it to the public, to the supporters, and not only to ourselves. And we don’t let it go to our heads.
How will you celebrate Christmas? (They will join the Parade of Stars that ushers in the annual Metro Filmfest.)
Maine: I’m going to Japan with my family, until New Year.
Alden (pretending to be serious): Pupunta din kami ng family ko sa Japan. (Breaking into laughter) Joke only, hahahaha!!! Actually, as usual during every occasion sa Laguna lang kami nagsi-celebrate. Doon kasi ako lumaki, eh! Siguro, we’ll eat out. Family bonding, because these past many weeks halos wala nang time with the family.”
The past 100 days you’ve been so busy. How is your sleeping schedule?
Maine: Nakakatulog pa naman ako kahit papano. I still go home to Bulacan (Sta. Maria).
Alden: I try to catch up on sleep whenever and wherever I have time, kung saan abutan ng antok. Maine and I are enjoying every moment of the kalyeserye.
(To Alden) Your pick-up lines are very witty. Where do you get them? (Sample: Alden: Sigurado ka bang taga-Bulacan ka? Hindi ka taga-Laguna?; Maine: Bakit?; Alden: Kasi luma-Laguna ang nararamdaman ko sa’yo!)
Alden: I get help from the Dabarkads backstage.
Maine: Akala ko sa’yo ‘yon!
Alden: Siempre, at the end of the day, pumipili pa rin ako.
Maine: A, sinasala mo pa ‘yon!
Any more Christmas wishes?
Maine: Sobrang blessed ko na. I can’t wish for more?
Alden: Wala na. Siguro, stability na lang.
Maine: And good health, too.
What Christmas gifts are you giving each other?
Maine: Secret!
Alden: Yeah, secret muna!
Everything started from tuksuhan (teasing). Did you ever imagine that it would be this big?
Maine: Ay, honestly hindi po at all. Kasi biruan lang, eh.
Alden: When the kalyeserye started on July 16, we didn’t have any expectations. I was just told, “Alden, manood ka ha!” There were no instructions.
Maine: Hindi ako na-orient.
Alden: Yeah, hindi kami na-orient!
(To Alden) During your “100th-day” celebration, you gave Maine 100 carnations. What did those flowers mean?
Alden: Those carnations stood for the days that we’ve been together, through the sadness and the happiness, and all the challenges na binigay sa akin ni Lola Nidora.
(To Maine) And you gave Alden a letter. Ano bang content n’un?
Maine: For his eyes only na lang. Medyo personal, eh!
So how is it working together?
Maine: Masaya! I’m thankful that in my first movie, I get to work with great actors. We are given a chance para makilala ang isa’t-isa, di na puro fansigns.
Alden: This movie gives us a chance to show what we can do as actors.
How do you feel now that you are considered The Phenomenal Love Team, known internationally (and featured in BBC and other top networks)?
Maine: Sobrang nakakagulat.
Alden: We prayed for this to happen in our lives. We assure everyone that we are putting it to good use, kasi we are placed here for a purpose and that purpose is to bring happiness and inspiration to people.
How do you handle all this?
Maine: Hindi ko po masyadong iniiisip. Hindi ko inilalagay sa ulo ko ‘yung kasikatan.
Alden: I make sure that I have my feet on the ground.

Karen Davila interviewed Alma Moreno...and it got awkward
https://youtu.be/1qfqPNoXs5w
Earlier this month, Karen Davila, host of ANC's Headstart, interviewed actress-turned politician Alma Moreno, who is running as senator under United Nationalist Alliance, wjich led by presidential candidate and current Vice President Jejomar Binay.
The interview segment runs for 23 minutes and starts getting awkward at the 9:44 mark.
It was at that point that Davila asked Moreno, "If you won a Senate seat, what would be your advocacy in the Senate?" Moreno replied, "Ah, more on sa kababaihan (women)..." Davila countered with, "Like what?" Moreno answered, "Boses ng kababaihan (the voice of women)... Magna Carta of Women..."
To which Davila remarked, "But then the law exists already." Moreno then said, "Pero may mga bagay na di na-implement (There are things that have not been implemented)." Davila again asked, "Like what?" Moreno, at this point, laughed nervously and said, "Teka muna (Wait a second)."
It only goes downhill from there, as Moreno scrambles to answer Davila's questions, such as the one on the reproductive health law. Moreno once again laughed nervously and remarked, "Kailangan pa bang sagutin (Do I need to answer that)?" Davila said, "Of course. You are running for the Senate."
Watch it and weep.

pag itong si Alma Moreno nanalo sa pagka senador, goodbye pilipins talaga tayo!

MANILA, Philippines – Francis Libiran revealed some details on the wedding gown of actress Pauleen Luna.

MANILA, Philippines — Miss Universe Pia Wutzbach of the Philippines sent a message to Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez four days after the Miss Universe fiasco.

"To Ariadna, you are an amazing woman," Pia said on her Instagram post on Friday. "Now we are bonded together forever by a unique experience."
When they were together preparing for the pageant, Pia said she saw "how strong and beautiful" Ariadna is "inside and out."
She also commended her on how she represented her country with "honor," and said that Colombia is "proud" of what she has achieved.
"Fate has a plan for you, and I'm excited to see what's ahead," she added.
In the end, she asked the public to stop fighting over what happened in the pageant.
"Miss Universe Organization is about uniting empowered women from all over the world," she said.
Pia also pointed out that "arguing and sending hateful messages to each other defeats the whole purpose."
She then thanked everyone who supported her throughout the pageant, and expressed her excitement to start her duties as Miss Universe.

IN PHOTOS: Maria Ozawa sizzles at 2015 MMFF awards night.
Former Japanese adult video star Maria Ozawa graced the 41st Metro Manila Film Festival Gabi ng Parangal at the Kia Theater in Quezon City on Sunday.
She performed a “sizzling” dance number, as show host Richard Gutierrez described it; a much-needed respite from the tension-filled event that’s marred with controversy after “Honor Thy Father” was disqualified from the Best Picture category of the Christmas film fest.
Ozawa’s entry in local showbiz made headlines earlier this year, and her statement that she’s open to having a Filipino boyfriend while staying in the Philippines tickled the fancy and imaginations of local movie fans and fan boys alike.
Bela Padilla, Yassi Pressman, Ronnie Liang and Mark Bautista, among others, also performed.

But Heussaff, who attended the press conference of her latest movie, "Lakbay2Love", on 13 January, stated that it was just a misunderstanding and that they were just celebrating their engagement.
"We just celebrated in Argentina because I haven't seen Nico's parents in two years," she said.
As for their upcoming wedding, Heussaff said that she has plans to hold the reception in France.
"But not right now. It will be late this year, but really late," she said.
In related news, Heussaff plays the role of a videographer who falls in love with a forester in the new movie, to open in cinemas this February.

Miss Colombia on Miss Universe gaffe: I've moved on, this is our destiny
By Chuck Smith (philstar.com) | Updated January 20, 2016

MANILA, Philippines — A month after his Miss Universe blunder, Steve Harvey finally apologized to Ariadna Gutierrez of Colombia face to face.
Steve met with Ariadna as a guest of the Tuesday episode of his eponymous talk show, the first time since the host mistakenly announced the Colombian beauty queen as the winner of the 64th Miss Universe pageant last month.
"Oh my god, I'm gonna cry," Ariadna told Steve as they embrace on the stage of his talk show.
"I'm sorry, darling. I'm so sorry," Steve replied.
"You're the one person that I really wanted to talk to," he added. "Because of the mistake I made, I put in a spotlight, a place that I never intended to, that I never wanted to happen to anybody."
"I just want to say how sorry I am. I really am. I'm beyond sorry for what happened that night... Really, at the end of the day, I hope we walk away from here all with something special," Steve said.
For her part, Ariadna said she spent a lot of time with her family after the incident but added that she has moved forward.
"I have already moved on. This is our destiny. That's why we are here," she said.
The Colombian said the Miss Universe is a "big deal" in their country, especially since her win would mean a back-to-back victory for Colombia after Paulina Vega won the crown in the previous edition of the pageant.
She was crowned Miss Colombia a month before Paulina won the 63rd Miss Universe crown.
Ariadna also acknowledged that, contrary to reports and rumors, Steve was present during the rehearsals for the pageants.
Ironically, the 22-year-old beauty queen said she was "saying great things" about Steve to the other contestants during rehearsals, prior to the Miss Universe pageant and his infamous mix-up.
"I was saying to the other girls, 'Oh my god, I love Steve Harvey'," she said.
Ariadna also addressed rumors that she was planning to sue Steve for the gaffe during the pageant.
"I'm not going to take away your mansion," Ariadna jokingly told Steve.
"I never thought of suing you. No. That's not who I am," she said, while adding that a lot of lawyers wanted her to sue.

Reminder from Matteo: Don’t shoot!
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star) | Updated January 22, 2016
(http://s17.postimg.org/8fvhcfzu7/Matteo_Guidicelli.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Curtain-raisers:
- When a young actress got married (date not specified to avoid identification) to her model-boyfriend, she “banned” her own mother from attending…for a good reason: her mom left for abroad a few years ago and never came back. It turned out that she divorced the actress’ father so she could marry another man. The actress was hurting for her father.
- Which brings to mind another showbiz wedding (date also not specified for the same reason) to which the father of the bride was not invited. Of course, the father (based abroad) was hurt. It was “un-Christian” for the couple to have done that, wasn’t it? (Hopefully, time shall have healed whatever wounds there were between the father and his daughter and son-in-law.)
- Airport authorities both here and abroad are puzzled why a bold actor sets off the alarm every time he passes through the x-ray machine, even if he has taken off his belt, jewelry and whatever it is that should be placed on the tray. Still, he sets off the alarm until the authorities discover…to their amusement…what the cause is. Yes, the actor has planted bulitas (tiny bullets) around his private part.
By “don’t shoot!,” Matteo Guidicelli doesn’t mean shoot with a gun but with a camera (especially video).
At the presscon for Tupang Ligaw, his latest indie starrer directed by novelist Rod Santiago for Baby Go (BG) Productions, Matteo was asked what he had to say about actors in six videos (“solo flight”) that have gone viral at the start of the year. (Sources surmised that those six videos must have been shot way, way before and have surfaced on social media only lately.)
Asked if he has one, Matteo answered in jest, “Mayroon ba? Hahahaha!,” adding, “Delikado ang social media so everybody and not just actors should be careful with what we post, not just what we do but what we say because the whole world sees it. Social media is open to everybody.”
It doesn’t mean that Matteo is not active on social media.
“I do have Twitter and Instagram,” he said, “but I’m careful about whatever I post. The thing is don’t shoot na lang, huwag na mag-selfie ng mga private activity.”
He and his girlfriend Sarah Geronimo do exchange tweets but only “innocent” ones. If ever he has something personal to tell Sarah, Matteo said he’d rather do it, yes, personally. “Harap-harapan na lang.”
Just done with one season of Single/Single with Shaina Magdayao, the Cinema One series co-produced by Philippine STAR (Season 2 is coming soon), Matteo is re-inventing himself into an action star in Tupang Ligaw in which he plays a soldier looking for his missing brother (played by Pinoy Big Brother discovery Rico Barrera). The search leads him to Barrio Paraiso ruled by El Diablo (played by Paolo Contis). That’s where the soldier uncovers the truth about his brother’s fate.
Determined to prove himself in the action genre and to justify his being a third choice (after JM de Guzman who bowed out due to personal reasons and Xian Lim who was busy shooting Everything About Her, his Star Cinema movie with Vilma Santos), Matteo refused any “double” for the risky scenes.
“He’s daring,” said Dennis Evangelista who is helping BG Productions. “Matteo is also good in the dramatic scenes. Remember, he is a Best Actor winner for the Cinema One film Saturday Night Chills in 2013. One memorable scene shows him revealing to his mother (played by Suzette Ranillo) the painful truth that his brother is dead.”
Baby Go is so impressed with Matteo’s work on Tupang Ligaw that she’s thinking of casting him in a Visayan movie (90 percent of the dialogue in Cebuano) to be shot in Cebu, Matteo’s hometown.
“They told me that I would be playing a poor fisherman,” disclosed Matteo who must find it challenging to be credible as one because he comes from a well-to-do, influential clan in Cebu (former Chief Justice and Senate President Marcelo Fernan was his grandfather). “I won’t have any problem with the dialogue because I speak fluent Cebuano.”
He also dreams to play a Tarzan-like character. Is he willing to wear only a loincloth?
“Why not?” laughed Matteo who is active in sport, fit and fabulous. After all, he has the body for it. “I’ve already done more daring scenes in the teleserye Paraiso, especially those shot in the sea. Marami ring bed scenes d’un.”
Meanwhile, he’s shooting for Regal Films’ Love Is Blind with co-stars Derek Ramsay and Kiray Celis.
Incidentally, Matteo admitted that he and Sarah have no plans yet for Valentine’s.
“We haven’t thought about it. She’s busy promoting her album and I’m also busy promoting my own album, aside from this movie.”

Pia Wurtzbach says next dream is to be a Bond girl

MANILA, Philippines — The reigning Miss Universe has her eyes set on her next big dream: being a Bond girl.
Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach returned home to the Philippines for the first time since her crowning — and that awkward moment when host Steve Harvey mistakenly crowned Miss Colombia instead of her. She says she's using the intense attention she got after that controversy to focus on her causes like fighting HIV and AIDS.
She told a news conference Sunday that she plans to be tested for HIV publicly in New York to encourage other people to be tested.
Asked about her plans after her reign, Wurtzbach replied: "I might be the next Bond girl, who knows? ... That's the next dream."

MANILA, Philippines – “It was all an inside joke,” this is how Anne Curtis described the photo of her sister Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Erwan Heussaff hugging each other, which went viral on social media on Tuesday.
On her Twitter account, the Kapamilya actress said that the photo was “wrongly screencapped” from her private social media account.
Anne was sad that the people “reacted maliciously” about the photo and that “such viciousness is being thrown to the people I love.”
She then clarified that “nothing happened, we are all fine. I’m lucky that Erwan treats Jasmine as his own sister.”
In the end, Anne said that it’ll be the last time she’ll talk about the issue and asked the public to “stop saying awful things about my sister & boyfriend.”
Dream pala ni Pia na maging Bond girl, aba sir James kunin mo na sya, he he he. . .

Arci Muñoz on showbiz success: Pana-panahon ‘yan
By Joyce Jimenez (philstar.com)
(http://s27.postimg.org/t1z7b3etv/Arci_Munos.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines — Arci Muñoz said the "right timing" is crucial to success in show business.
The actress has been in the industry for a while, and now she was finally given a big break through the sixy TV show "Pasion de Amor," which will end this February.
"Para sa akin po kasi pana-panahon ‘yan talaga, e," she said during a recent interview. "Darating 'yong tamang oras na ibibigay sa 'yo. Si God talaga ang nag-decide. Ako kasi ang dami kong gusting gawin, pero sabi ni Lord, 'Para dyan ka."
"So tamang panahon lang talaga. Ngayon siguro talaga the stars are aligning for me," she added.
Arci has no regrets that she had to do a sixy role to give her career a little push. She was hesitant to do sixy roles since she came from a conservative family.
"Sabi ko nga po dati, I really have my limitation," she ssaid about doing a sixy role. "Depende po kasi talaga, e. So I trust my directors, and sabi nga nila hindi naman talaga siya bastusin, e. Kung alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi ko kaya, then hindi ko siya talaga gagawin."
Aside from "Pasion de Amor," Arci is also busy doing final works for the film "Always be My Maybe," her first starring film with Gerald Anderson. It will hit cinemas on February 24.

Iya ready to be a mom

MANILA, Philippines – Iya Villania and husband Drew Arellano are heading to New Zealand this month for a triathlon event to be participated in by Drew, revealed the 24 Oras segment host for Chika Minute during the recently-held Watsons’ Switcher Surprise at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA).
“It’s a competition (and at the same time), Valentine’s and anniversary trip. So, it is three in one,” said Iya, who married Drew two years ago. This sojourn from their showbiz daily grind — Iya is also seen weeknights in the GMA primetime soap Because of You, while Drew hosts AHA! and Biyahe ni Drew weekends — could be the perfect rendezvous for the young couple to start their family.
“I’m entertaining (the thought of having) three (children) but I don’t want to have a middle child. So having two is just fine with me,” shared Iya, who originally wanted to have five bundles of joy. It’s clear that the Arellanos are considering this year as “baby-making season” and Iya is embracing motherhood.
You can sense it from her Instagram posts last year after finishing first in a triathlon tilt that Drew also took part of: “It really is amazing what your body can do when the mind wills it. Lord, thank you for the ability to use it. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the season! 1st place, baby!!! Congratulations once again to all the finishers! (Especially) my love Drew Arellano for being the ‘first loser’ (2nd place). I love you and can’t wait to start baby-making season.”
That’s why Iya has been taking folic acid since last year. “Looking back, I think all those training for triathlons and me getting in the best shape of my life (were) a way of preparing, strengthening and conditioning my body for what’s to come and getting pregnant.”
Speaking of getting in shape, Iya, aside from the triathlon events she has graced before like the Olympic distance triathlons of Tri United 1 and 2 and Tri United 3, felt that she has become more health-conscious since becoming Mrs. Drew Arellano. The TV host-actress has a specific fitness regimen she follows every day.
“I exercise more now because it’s much easier for me,” Iya said. “I could just bike at home and run around the area, dati yung bike iiwan ko pa kay Drew, kailangan pa ng pass para sa village na malapit, kapag gym ihahatid ka pa.” Iya’s workout routine is complemented with a healthy diet.
“I like to keep in shape but it’s not just because I want to look good or for aesthetics,” she said. “I work out so that I could enjoy eating. Kasi when my mom comes over, she brings a lot of Pinoy comfort food like kaldereta.”
Aside from her TV work, Iya is also busy gracing events like the Switcher Surprise promo of Watsons, one of her endorsements. The campaign encourages shoppers to be more practical with their purchases like its ambassadors Iya, Christian Bautista, Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Patty Laurel Filart and Lorna Tolentino. They have to look for quality products with great prices.
“What I like about Watsons is, I get good quality (items) without having to pay more,” said Iya, whose favorite Watsons products are its foot ease because she wears heels most of the time, tissues, wet wipes and hand soap. “It’s like buying branded. We (Drew and I) live a very low-maintenance lifestyle. Thankfully, we don’t have to do grocery budgeting yet. But once we have kids, siyempre iba na yun.” Iya added that she and Drew know how to “splurge every now and then naman.”
At the said Switcher Surprise event, Iya and Lorna surprised shoppers, who bought “marked” items, with gifts. Among the winners were Angie Mendoza and couple Jennifer Ariesgado and Andrew Wray, who won P50,000 and a Samsung LED TV, respectively.
Esther Blanco got the reward of a Hong Kong travel package, while Julie Mamhot was the recipient of the Boracay trip.
Lastly, Loralyn Campos and Jayce Dualan won a shopping money worth P20,000 and a Technomarine watch, respectively.
Iya, who knows the value of well-earned money, was delighted to see these lucky shoppers go home with these rewards for shopping smartly.
Big 'Deadpool' debut annihilates 'Fifty Shades' record, more
(http://s14.postimg.org/5dxhqr60x/Film_Review_Deadpool_Diol_1.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
LOS ANGELES — The R-rated "Deadpool" has taken the box office by storm, annihilating records with an eye-popping $135 million from its first three days in U.S. theaters, according to comScore estimates Sunday.
The Fox film, which stars Ryan Reynolds as the foul-mouthed superhero, easily trounced last year's record-setting $85.2 million February debut of the erotic drama "Fifty Shades of Grey." It also became the biggest R-rated opening ever, surpassing "The Matrix Reloaded," which opened to $91.8 million in May of 2003.
Analysts are predicting that the Tim Miller-directed film, which cost a mere $58 million to produce, could go on to make $150 million by the end of the holiday weekend. As recently as Thursday, "Deadpool" was expected to pull in only $80 million across the three days, but the Marvel comic, often a best-seller, proved its popular appeal and then some — and it didn't have to compromise with a PG-13 rating either.
"This movie is the very definition of an expectation-buster. Nobody saw this coming," said Paul Dergarabedian, comScore's senior media analyst. "It doesn't feel like a cookie-cutter superhero movie. It feels like something unique. You've got to sometimes take risks and go against conventional wisdom to come out a winner."
IMAX screens accounted for an estimated $16.8 million of "Deadpool's" total. The film, notably, was not released in 3D.
"Deadpool" also had a massive showing internationally, bringing in an estimated $125 million from 62 territories for a $260 million global total.
The debut is also a bit of a superhero redemption story for Reynolds whose costly "Green Lantern" adaptation disappointed audiences and at the box office in 2011.
Coming in a distant second was last weekend's No. 1 film "Kung Fu Panda 3" with $19.7 million, which fell only 7 percent. The DreamWorks Animation film has earned $93.9 million in just three weeks in theaters.
In third place, the R-rated Dakota Johnson and Rebel Wilson rom-com "How to Be Single" didn't make any big waves with its $18.8 million out of the gates. The Warner Bros. film cost $38 million to produce and provided some counter programming to the hyper violent "Deadpool."
The dismally reviewed Ben Stiller comedy "Zoolander 2," meanwhile, debuted in fourth place to only $15.7 million. The Paramount film, which Stiller directed, cost around $50 million to make. The first film, "Zoolander," opened in 2001, just weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, to a meek $15.5 million and went on to gross only $45.2 million in North America. It found a second life on home video, though and has become a quotable cultural staple. Audiences seem less enthusiastic this time around, though.
Dergarabedian thinks that both "How to Be Single" and "Zoolander 2" could see a healthy uptick from the Valentine's Day crowd Sunday.
But overall, the box office is healthy, up an estimated 3.2 percent from last year and it's all thanks to the snarky, fourth-wall-busting "Deadpool" and its historic debut.
"These are summer numbers," Dergarabedian said. "It's summer in February."
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore:
1."Deadpool," $135 million ($125 million international).
2."Kung Fu Panda 3," $19.7 million ($14.6 million international).
3."How to Be Single," $18.8 million ($8.1 million international).
4."Zoolander 2," $15.7 million ($8.5 million international).
5."The Revenant," $6.9 million ($14 million international).
6."Hail, Caesar!," $6.6 million.
7."Star Wars: The Force Awakens," $6.2 million ($4.3 million international).
8."The Choice," $5.3 million ($600,000 international).
9."Ride Along 2," $4.1 million ($1.5 million international).
10."The Boy," $2.9 million ($1.3 million international).

Nyoy Volante ties the knot with Mikkie Bradshaw

MANILA, Philippines – Nyoy Volante has finally found his forever with theater actress Mikkie Bradshaw.
The two tied the knot on Friday at the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, Manila. It was attended by their family and friends, which include some showbiz personalities like Karla Estrada, Vina Morales and Freddie Webb.
On the video posted by Nice Print Photography on their YouTube page, the two answered the presiding priest when they were asked why they have chosen each other.
“Sense of humor,” replied Mikkie when asked what she liked about Nyoy. “I need a man who makes me laugh my whole life.”
Nyoy, on the other hand, said he has found his “forever” with Mikkie.
“Noong nakita ko si Mikkie, naramdaman ko kaagad na naiintindihan niya ako, tapos she's kind... tugma talaga lahat,” he explained.
“Kahit sobrang contrast naming dalawa, the way that we approach this, iisa lang ang pakay namin - to be together. 'Yon ang kailangan ko talaga, to have a partner hanggang sa pagtanda ko,” he added.

Martin Nievera says he will never leave 'ASAP'
By Joyce Jimenez (philstar.com)
(http://s12.postimg.org/evv2uvmil/martin_nievera.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines – Martin Nievera sees the ABS-CBN Sunday noontime show “ASAP” as a big part of his life, not only of his career.
“I will never leave ‘ASAP,’” he replied when asked if he’s going to leave the show, in a recent interview. “It’s always going to be part of my life even if I’m dead, that’s going to be my show.”
“I love that show, I love being on ABS-CBN,” he added.
The Concert King also denied that there are “billing issues” in their show between the experienced hosts and the new breed of talents.
“I’m not like the main host anymore, but there are no superstars on our show,” he said. “We are all equally needed. There’re no billing issues whatsoever.”
This comes after Martin said in a recent interview that he feels the long-time ABS-CBN noontime show has "no slot for dinosaurs."
For now, Martin will be less visible in “ASAP” to focus on his show “I Love OPM,” where he’s one of the judges or “Himigration Officers,” together with Lani Misalucha and Toni Gonzaga.
The show showcases foreigners who can sing Filipino songs well.
Being raised in America and having a difficulty learning the Filipino language, Martin said he has learned something from their contestants.
“I learned from these children here that I should really get more in touch with my OPM side,” he said.
In line with this, he has worked on an all-OPM album.
“I just finished an OPM album, all OPM songs, when OPM is not yet OPM. I’m talking about old, almost Kundiman-ish kind of Tagalog songs,” he revealed. “So in this show, I learned that I have to have that sound in my songs.”
“I Love OPM” is hosted by Anne Curtis and Erik Nicholas, which airs Saturdays after “Maalaala Mo Kaya” and Sundays after “Rated K.”

IN PHOTOS: Stunning Binibining Pilipinas 2016 candidates at gallery tour
(http://s9.postimg.org/ohj1ja1b3/bbmain.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Some of the candidates of the 2016 Binibining Pilipinas pageant, which will be held on April 17.
MANILA, Philippines — Is a back-to-back win in the Miss Universe pageant possible?
It is, at least according to this year's candidates of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant.
The 40 Bb. Pilipinas candidates faced select members of the press during a tour at the Gateway Gallery in Quezon City on Tuesday.
This is the first time the aspiring beauty faced the press since they were announced as the official contestants of the pageant, which will be held on April 17.
"Yes, it's possible. And nothing is impossible for our country," said Ria Rabajante, one of the candidates in this year's pageant when asked if she thinks the Philippine can win the Miss Universe title again after Pia Wurtbach's historic victory last year. "I think if we really put our heart into something, we can really achieve it."
Of course, many of the candidates this year are inspired by Pia. The 26-year-old Pinay beauty queen lost in the Bb. Pilipinas pageant twice before winning the Miss Universe Philippines title in 2015 (and, eventually, the Miss Universe crown).
"I got inspired by her win. If she could it, I could it. I'm sure the whole country got inspired as well," Kylie Verzosa said.
The aspiring beauty queens have a lot on their plate before the coronation night next month. They will participate in annual the talent show this year and will be officially introduced to the press by the end of the month.
Traditionally, the Bb. Pilipinas beauty queens also participate in a fashion show (which will feature them wearing casual clothes and national costumes) as well as a parade around the Araneta Center before the pageant.

Rica Peralejo suffers miscarriage

MANILA, Philippines – Rica Peraleho has suffered a miscarriage.
It was on Tuesday when she announced that she and Paula Peralejo are pregnant. Rica is married to pastor Joseph Bonifacio.
On Thursday, however, Rica posted a photo of her baby bump, with the caption: “For those who care to know, we lost the baby. It isn't a very happy one so prayers and sensitivity are appreciated.”
In a subsequent blog entry, Rica admitted that she’s in “great emotional pain,” despite believing that God has greater plans for her.
“I keep thinking one day I will know how my baby looks like when I meet him or her in heaven, but it hurts me to think that it won’t be anytime soon,” she said.
“I know the baby really is supposed to be where he or she really is, but I also long to be with him or her so much. As in so much,” she added.
In the end, she thanked her family, friends and fans who “are also grieving with me now. God’s mercy and goodness doesn’t make it less painful, but for some reason in it peace and pain can co-exist.”

Why Shailene can’t stay put
(http://s23.postimg.org/duz8x61jf/Divergent_Series_3.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines – There was a lull of about half an hour between our roundtable interviews with The Divergent Series: Allegiant stars Zoe Kravitz and Shailene Woodley last Sunday in Beverly Hills. While waiting for Shailene to join us, some journalists opted to go to the junket’s social media suite in the second floor of the Four Seasons and had our pictures with the cast via a green screen photo shoot. We also tried the super cool nine-minute virtual reality experience developed based on the movie.
We returned to our room after we were advised that Shailene would be ready to join us any minute. While waiting for her, our group of journalists got to talk about the new series titled Love that Netflix debuted recently. We were having a spirited discussion about why the series has split audiences who view it as either pro or against women when Shailene walked in. She caught some of what we were discussing and asked curiously how we were doing and what she missed.
We told her about the show and she told us she has not seen it and she’s been missing on a lot of things lately because of work.
Shailene has been on a hot streak since her breakout role in The Descendants five years ago. She has since starred in the box-office hit The Fault in Our Stars and has earned critical praise for her turns in White Bird in a Blizzard and in The Spectacular Now for which she won an acting prize from the Sundance Film Festival. Allegiant is the third film in the planned four-part series based on Veronica Roth’s bestselling YA series of books The Divergent. The actress also headlines Snowden opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Oliver Stone’s potentially powerful biopic of Edward Snowden, the CIA employee who leaked classified information about NSA surveillance activities.
So, yes, when Shailene told us she’s been busy, we know she’s busy. So busy in fact that she does not even have a permanent address!
“One day,” she told us after we asked her if she still lives out of a suitcase. “I have right now a little airbnb situation (she is referring to the current craze of people renting their homes for short or extended stays for a fraction of what hotels charge).”
“Who really wants to live in a hotel? I don’t,” she added. “Some people like that hotel life but it is not for me. I work a lot so it doesn’t really make sense to me to pay rent in a place for it to be empty.”
Despite the lack of a permanent home, Shailene has one of the most enviable careers in Hollywood right now and she is thankful for it. “I live a very beautiful life. I get to travel a lot. I get to meet really interesting people. This is my reality right now. It’s just what is. I can be grateful for it or I can look at it from a negative place but I choose to very grateful for it.”
In some ways, Shailene is pretty much like Tris, her character in Allegiant. Like her, Tris is a free spirit who doesn’t want to be confined in a particular place.
But, unlike her, Tris had to struggle a bit in the beginning to figure out who she is.
“In the first film, she doesn’t really know who she was and, in this movie, she’s not confined by the restrictions of knowing exactly who she is but she has a strong grasp of who she is and who she wants to be,” Shailene explained of her character.
In Allegiant, Tris, together with Four, played by handsome Brit Theo James, leads a group of fellow divergents on a harrowing escape from the walled city of what was formerly Chicago. What they discover outside the walls is a desolate and toxic wasteland known as the fringe and a city-oasis in the middle controlled by yet another mysterious leader known only as David.
The third series installment offers impressive set pieces and action-packed sequences including a thrilling escape where Tris and her group had to scale the formidable, electrified wall. This writer thought the thrilling escape was all special effects but Zoe Kravitz, who plays Christina, corrected me. “It wasn’t all special effects,” she said. “They made it look bigger in the film but they built a wall and we trained a while learning how to climb up it. But we really did scale the wall.”
Shailene, who takes good care of her body and who once told this writer, during our interview for Fault… that she mixes her own organic drink every morning, confirmed what Zoe told us and added: “The great thing about action is you just have to be fit enough to do something for a few minutes.”
“It’s fun!” she stated when asked how she found those action scenes. “So fun — the things that we don’t get to do in real life.”
Real life for Shailene is making movies, hanging out with friends when she has time, traveling, enjoying life and supporting the social and environmental causes that she feels are important and need to be addressed urgently.
And in a rather odd coincidence, Allegiant presents a world that’s been utterly destroyed by man’s greed and ambition at the expense of his natural environment. One journalist asked Shailene what she would do if she had the power to change the world.
“I’d first and foremost address climate change because that s—t is real and it should be addressed,” she declared. “You can do everything on a small level whether it is unplugging things or using very little amounts of water to standing up against pipelines, against fossil fuels.”
Another powerful theme that Allegiant also tackles is the one that mirrors the highly-controversial issue in Hollywood these days surrounding diversity or lack thereof. The star offered an insightful and thoughtful take on the subject when asked to comment.
“I think diversity is important. It’s important for everyone to be different, have different opinions, different thoughts. It’s just how you categorize diversity. Are you categorizing diversity because of gender, because of race, because of belief system or are we categorizing diversity based on the fact that you are studying genetics and she studied how to make a good movie and he knows how to vacuum the floor?”
Allegiant presents a world where people are divided by their genetic purity and that control rests only on one person whose world view is to dominate the lesser and imperfect race.
“Diversity is important because it enables us to learn things from one another in our community but I think it is also important to differentiate the subject of diversity and the subject of segregation.”
“Ultimately, there’s going to be chaos in every world no matter who is the captain of the ship. Chaos is part of human nature, you’re always going to have polarities, you’re always going to have people that disagree but the thing about these movies that I love is you have a group of protagonists who are committed to trying to help their community thrive amidst the chaos.”
The beautiful actress is not a political person and has not directly endorsed any US presidential contenders but she proudly told us how much she shares what one candidate stands for on many issues.
“I agree with a lot of things that Bernie Sanders talks about when it comes to climate change, education, equal rights, when it comes to support of the LGBT community — there’s many things that I support in his campaign but I think it is important that we can focus on just the fact that we have election and we are voting and ultimately it doesn’t really matter who you vote for.”
“I just encourage young people to go out there and actually vote,” she added almost imploring. “I think it is easier to sit at home and think that your one voice won’t make a difference but it absolutely will.”
Does she feel a certain pressure as an actress and a public figure to have a stand on certain issues and lend her voice to various causes?
“I don’t feel like I have to but I feel like I want to,” she replied. “There’s no reason why actors shouldn’t have the platform that we have. But we have it and I feel like why would we abuse it and not use it for the greater good?”
And she would like to remind everyone that “actors are just artists. We’re not anything else apart from artists. I think it is important for the public to recognize that we are just people.”
Kris Aquino says she's leaving ABS-CBN
(http://s16.postimg.org/fldmrea85/krisaquino.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines - Kris Aquino says she will be stepping away from the limelight.
In a series of Instagram posts on Tuesday, the TV host-actress said she is leaving ABS-CBN, her home network for almost 20 years, to focus on her health, her family and her businesses.
The announcement comes days after she hinted on social media about making "important life choices in the next days" following recent issues with her health.
"Thank you, Kapamilya," Kris began. "Our relationship as a family started October 28, 1996 and it will soon end this March 23, 2016."
"A total of 10,354 days working for ABS-CBN, my life's most fulfilling professional journey because of your love, acceptance and loyalty," she told her more than two million followers on Instagram.
She also said the taping days for her morning show "Kris TV" is set on Wednesday and Thursday.
She continued: "Just like all of you, I love my FAMILY. My most valuable life destiny is to be Mama to KUYA JOSH and BIMBY; and to be a loving, selfless sister to ATE, PINKY, NOY and VIEL: a BUNSO who doesn't give them constant worry because of my health and safety."
"I'm not putting a time frame, but with my type of work, it's realistic to accept by leaving ABSCBN I'll be replaced and soon forgotten," Kris added.
"My sons and I will travel, we'll move to our new home, and I'll eat healthy, sleep early, exercise regularly, and live quietly--everything to make sure Kuya Josh and Bimb have a healthy mother."
Kris thanked her endorsements for "sticking it out with me while I work on my longterm health and wellness."
Kris added that for her "next chapter," she will focus on her businesses.
"I need to continue being WORKING MOM since I'm the SOLE PROVIDER for my sons, but for now I'll do it away from the stress of the limelight."
She also said "this isn't goodbye" but a "I think you'll miss me and I hope to see you again, soon."
This isn't the first time Kris said she will stay away from showbiz. In 2013, after a spat with ex-husband James Yap, Kris said she will resign from show business to focus on her children.
In 2010, she also resigned from her showbiz talk shows after her brother Benigno Aquino III was elected as president of the Philippines, only to return as a TV host a year after via the morning talk "Kris TV."

(http://s13.postimg.org/pp8a5zn13/candidate_20_bb_pilipinas.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines — Pageant organizers disqualified a Binibining Pilipinas contestant from this year's competition allegedly over a sixy shoot done in the past.
On Wednesday, Jonas Gaffud, president of Mercator Models and Aces and Queens beauty queen camp vented his frustration on the disqualification of Kim Ross Delos Santos, contestant 20, on social media.
The 26-year-old model was booted out of the competition by the pageant organizer’s legal team, or BPCI, because of a sixy fashion shoot she did in the past. The BPCI has yet to make an official statement.
"Yes, it is true. But our legal department and BPCI are still having a meeting about it,” the article said.
This is not the first time the organizers disqualified a contestant because of a racy shoot. Miss World 2013 Megan Young was also not permitted to join Bb. Pilipinas for the same reason.
An early favorite and a strong contender for the crown, Delos Santos came from the same beauty queen camp where Pia Wurtzbach trained.
Several pageant fans aired their sentiments on Twitter over the disqualification. using the hashtag #JusticeforKimRoss.

MANILA, Philippines — Another candidate of this year's Binibining Pilipinas has been booted out of the competition.
Janelle Olafson was disqualified from the 2016 Bb. Pilipinas pageant, allegedly over racy photos she has done in the past, according to a report in ABS-CBN's news program "Bandila" on Monday.
This comes after Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Incorporated also booted out Kim Ross delos Santos from the competition, reportedly for the same reason.
Delos Santos has been replaced by Geisha Naganuma.
According to Olafson, the "racy photo" she took was for a breast cancer awareness campaign.
"That photo is for a breast cancer awareness ad because my family in the States, my aunt, my cousin, and this year alone my tito is a survivor of breast cancer" she told "Bandila. "That is an advocacy and I don't regret posing for that photo... and I'm not gonna change for anybody."
Olafson added: "I just feel like God's path is here... Okay naman. Feeling ko kaya ko ito."
The BPCI has yet to issue a statement on the issue. — Chuck Smith

Why Paolo is missing in Eat, Bulaga!
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star)
(http://s21.postimg.org/4ueipen6v/paolo_balesteros_1.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
For several days now, Paolo Ballesteros (photo) has been missing in Eat, Bulaga’s Kalyeserye in which he plays Lola Tidora (trio with Wally Bayola as Lola Nidora and Jose Manalo as Tinidora). While Paolo would “disappear” every now and then to fulfill commitments abroad, it would only for a few days. But now, his absence is getting longer, thus making the Kalyeserye followers wonder whatever happened to him. Is he indisposed (like he was last year when he suffered an elevated high blood pressure)?
Here’s the truth and nothing but: Paolo has been suspended after he “ranted” in his Facebook that he was clueless what he was supposed to do at an ad summit in Subic sponsored by Eat, Bulaga!. He was supposed to be one of the hosts but he was a no-show. As he “ranted,” he decided to stay in his room and drank.
Was it a show of unprofessionalism? Has the Kalyeserye success gone to his head (while the rest of the cast, mainly Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, remained level-headed)? It isn’t a case of “too much, too soon” because Paolo is an “old-timer” on the show, is it?
According to the Funfare VDPA (Very Deep Penetration Agent), Paolo has been showing “unpleasant attitude” and that Bulaga event proved to be the boiling point.
“Did you know that the content of the cup that Paolo usually drinks from is not coffee but Red Horse?” asked the VDPA.
So, has Paolo been rendered “drunk” from drinking too much Red Horse?
Pia Wurtzbach chooses James Reid over Justin Bieber

MANILA, Philippines – Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach prefers Filipino actor James Reid over international star Justin Bieber.
This was during a casual interview with Matt Ortile of Buzzfeed Philippines that was posted on the Facebook Page of Binibining Pilipinas.
“James Reid, ano ba naman ‘yan mga tanong mo, alam na alam na ‘yan!” she replied, smiling.
When teased that she might soon meet the actor who is now in a relationship with his onscreen partner Nadine Lustre, she replied, “I don’t want to go there.”
Pia also chose career over love explaining that “if the guy really loves you he will wait.”
She also shared one trivia about her during the interview.
“When I was training for Binibining Pilipinas, I purposely trained myself to get used to wearing seven inches [of heels],” she revealed.
“So when I wear five [inches] I could sprint in five [inches],” she added.
Watch the video below and see how candidly Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach answered the trivial questions thrown at her.

Report: Dr. Mike confirms dating Pia Wurtzbach
(http://s28.postimg.org/kuvv7g0gt/Mikhail_Varshavski_Pia.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines - After Pia Wurtzbach denied dating anyone, Dr. Mike Varshavski revealed the opposite in an interview with entertainment website Wonderwall.com
"I am dating Pia. It's a fairly new relationship but I'm really excited to see where it can go!" 'the sixiest doctor alive' told the website.
Ever since their photos and videos together started circulating on the Internet, fans have been speculating that the two are dating. However, the 26-year-old beauty queen repeatedly dodged the issue.
On her Faceboook live feed on Saturday, she specifically told the fans that her priority is none other than being a "Miss Universe."
Showing her sash during the Facebook Live session, "No. There's no specific someone in my life. This is the specific someone. This is the priority," she said.
Varshavski and Wurtzbach first met in an intimate gathering in New York City on February.
Meanwhile, Wurtzbach has yet to react to Varshavski's statement.

Is Mikael Daez confirming his relationship with Megan Young via his shared photos?
Limang taon na ring malapit sa isa’t isa sina Mikael Daez at Megan Young.
Nag-Miss World na si Megan at si Mikael naman ay nagkaroon ng ka-love team, pero masasabing matatag pa rin kung anuman ang namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa.
Walang nabago sa kanilang dalawa kahit na after Miss World?
Saad ni Mikael, “We’re just enjoying the moment… nakikita niyo naman na nag-e-enjoy talaga kaming dalawa.
“Wow, I think, we really just enjoy the moment lang.
“Kasi kung iniisip mo pa kung ano ang puwedeng mangyari, doon mayayanig ang mundo mo.
“‘Ay, baka mangyari ‘to! Ay, baka may ma-meet siyang ganito, baka may ginagawa siyang ganito, wala ako.’
“Kailangan 'yung moment, trust and loyalty.
“These are things naman na talagang inilagay sa akin ng mga magulang ko.
“Nagpapasalamat ako at 'yun ay dala ko rin naman as I grew up.”
Five years
Paano niya ile-label ang limang taon nilang pagiging malapit sa isa’t isa ni Megan?
Ayon kay Mikael, “Actually, right now, parang dati pa, hindi ako mahilig sa labels.
“Para lang din alam ng mga tao, hindi ako mahilig sa labels.
“And, I think, kasi ano ang label kung wala namang laman… itapon na lang muna natin ‘yan.
“Kung ako ang kinakausap niyo, tingnan natin kung ano ang laman.
“Tingnan niyo ang photos ko, tingnan niyo ang videos ko, tingnan niyo kung ano ang laman.”
Alam ni Megan ‘yan?
“Alam niya yun, malinaw sa kanya 'yun,” nakangiting sabi ng Kapuso actor.
Marami na ring travels sina Mikael at Megan na magkasama.
Ang huli nga ay sa kanilang pagbabakasyon sa Africa kung saan ibinabahagi na nila ang mga larawan nilang magkasama sa kanilang social media account.
Ang shared photos ba nila, it’s like saying without saying?
“Parang ganun!” natawang sabi ni Mikael.
“It’s like saying without saying, kumbaga 'yung status namin, nagpu-post na kami sa IG.”
Masarap nga raw ang pakiramdam na malaya na silang nakakapag-post ng mga larawan nila sa kani-kanilang social media accounts?
Saad ni Mikael, “Oo, kasi we do have a lot of beautiful photos together.
“I’m into photography at nahawa na rin siya sa akin.
“Very proud ako of our photos, talagang kapag nagbibiyahe kami, it’s something that we really enjoy.
“Pinu-post ko na rin ang video.
“Ang sarap din ng isini-share at nagugustuhan ng mga tao.”
Holy Week
Ngayong Holy Week, sa Japan daw sana nila gustong magbakasyon ni Megan.
Pero ayon sa aktor, “Hindi kami nakapag-book agad, so lahat ng airlines ngayong Holy Week, sobrang mahal na.”
So, saan sila?
“Well, hindi ko pa alam, pero gusto naming sumubok ng free diving sa Cebu.
“'Yung sumisisid ka ng ten meters na walang gadgets, goggles lang.
“It’s like training 'yun the whole day.” —PEP

Philippines 3rd ‘winningest’ in global pageants
FUNFARE By Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star) | Updated March 29, 2016 - 12:00am

It’s Binibini season again, or haven’t you noticed?
In two weeks, five Bb. Pilipinas will be chosen: for International, Supranational, Intercontinental, Tourism International and Universe. Whoever wins Bb. Pilipinas-Universe will bear with the added pressure when she goes to the 2016 Miss Universe pageant since the current title-holder, Pia Wurtzbach, is a Filipina — unless, of course, she is good enough to duplicate the feat of Venezuela which scored the first-ever back-to-back win in the pageant (2008 Miss U Dayana Mendoza relinquishing her crown to 2009 Miss U Stefania Fernandez).
Flashback:
The first Miss World pageant, founded by the late Eric Morley, was held on July 29, 1951 at Lyceum Ballroom in London won by Kerstin Hakansson of Sweden.
Founded by Pacific Mills, a California-based clothing company, the maiden Miss Universe finals was staged on June 28, 1952 at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California, USA, won by Armi Kuusela of Finland.
The first Miss International pageant was held also in Long Beach, California, USA, after the Miss Universe pageant moved to Miami Beach, Florida, that year. Winner was Colombia’s Maria Stella Marquez.
Organized by Carousel Productions, headed by Ramon Monzon, Lorraine Schuck and Peachy Veneracion, the Miss Earth pageant started in 2001 with the first finals staged on Oct. 21 that year at the UP Theater, Diliman, Quezon City, won by Catharina Svensen of Denmark.

Selena Gomez coming to Manila for Revival tour
(http://s21.postimg.org/6cdkpnmc7/selena_gomez.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines - The long wait is over! Global pop sensation Selena Gomez is finally coming to Manila and will be bringing her much-awaited The Revival Tour on July 31, 2016 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Selena Gomez made her mark in entertainment by conquering film, music and television at an early age.
On the big screen, she began making the transition from young actress to adulthood with such films as the much talked about Harmony Korine’s “Spring Breakers.” The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival to critical acclaim while Gomez’s performance was singled out as a “breakout.”
She was most recently seen in the Academy Award nominated film “The Big Short” opposite Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling. “Fundamentals of Caring” alongside Paul Rudd premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
Gomez was named by Vulture.com as one of “The 20 Best Performances of Sundance 2016.” She will next be seen in Seth Rogen’s “Neighbors 2” and later this year in the James Franco directed “In Dubious Battle.”
As a recording artist, Selena has sold over 45 million tracks worldwide.
Gomez’s recently released her critically acclaimed album “Revival.” The first two singles off the album “Good For You” and “Same Old Love” went to number one on the US Top 40 chart. “Hands To Myself”, her third single of the album, is now in the Top 10 charts worldwide.
In May, she will hit the stage and embark on her highly anticipated global “Revival Tour.”
Gomez has added executive producer to her impressive list of credits. Academy Award winner Tom McCarthy will join Gomez as executive producers of the Netflix original series “13 Reasons Why.”
Giving back has always been an important element in her life. She was named the youngest goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF at 18 years old and has worked tirelessly to support this organization ever since.
Selena was honored for her continued support at Variety’s first ever Unite4: Humanity event with the Young Humanitarian Award alongside Bill Clinton.
Gomez has traveled to Ghana, Chile and most recently to Nepal as an advocate for some of the world’s most vulnerable children.
She has hosted “We Day” in both Vancouver and Chicago for Free The Children, an organization that empowers young people to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change by being active local and global citizens.

Slender hips, toned arms and legs, and an abs to die for—that’s how one would describe the physique of Coleen Garcia.

John Lloyd Cruz confirms spilt with Angelica Panganiban
(http://s13.postimg.org/3tse21vt3/john_lloyd_cruz.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
MANILA, Philippines — John Lloyd Cruz broke his silence about his split with Angelica Panganiban.
“Single na single,” was John Lloyd’s reply when asked in an ABS-CBN News interview.
