MARTIN NIEVERA's new MY LADY

People who have read this news have nothing but a statement "what goes around, comes around".

This is regarding the rumor that Martin Nievera sang for a special someone during his concert in February 1 to celebrate his anniversaary in show business.

The special someone was not his live-in compaion Katrina Ojeda who was in the United States at that time,

The woman is said to be the step daughter of the Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei and a Filipina who's now married to a singer Franco Laurel.



Prince Jefri, 53, is the youngest brother of the 29th Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah. According to the Associated Press, Jefri has "four wives, 17 children and 18 adopted wards." He was also once married to Filipina Ayen Munji, who is now married to fellow singer and stage actor Franco Laurel.

Here is the news from PEP.

Reports say Angie has been spotted with Martin on many occasions in the past weeks. The girl has been seen dining with him, driving for him, and staying close by during his tapings/rehearsals. Martin, for his part, has been seen picking up Angie's kids from school, eating with them, as well as swimming with them.



It is a picture of Martin swimming with Angie's kids that Katrina is supposed to have in her cellphone.



KATRINA KNOWS. Yes, Katrina already knows about Angie, says a source from Katrina's camp. Trusted family friends reportedly told Katrina about the girl Martin has been seeing nearly every day. Some of these friends were said to have sent Katrina first-person accounts about Martin and Angie being together.



It is not clear if Martin and Katrina have had a proper confrontation about this. What's clear is that Katrina knows and is waiting for Martin in Las Vegas with their son, who just celebrated his first birthday last October 7. Las Vegas is where Katrina moved from New York, because America's "Entertainment Capital of the World" is where Martin had his career plans laid out.



In fact, Martin has finally cornered a two-month gig with the Society of Seven, an all-male band composed of Filipinos based in the U.S., which has Lani Misalucha for a regular crooner. Martin will be the special guest star when the band, with Lani, performs at Las Vegas's Flamingo Hotel on February 13.



Will he get there on time? Or will he stay here to be with the new ladylove he sees almost every day



CAREER BUMPS. This is not the first time that Martin, who has always dreamed of becoming known as a singer internationally, will do shows in Las Vegas. The country's Concert King did leave the Philippines in 2003 to try his luck on the American concert scene. Since then, according to his official website, he has performed at the Golden Nugget/Las Vegas (2004) and at the Rio Hotel and Casino (2005).



But in May of 2007, his career hit a major snafu. Martin was set to stage a big show at the Steve Wyrick Theater at the Miracle Mile mall, also in Las Vegas. It was to be produced by California-based Filipino producer Gene Gamalinda.



According to someone who knows the producer, ticket sales proved very weak, and the producer pulled out of "a losing venture." In other words, he wanted to cut his losses. But according to published reports, Martin says his producer "abandoned" him.



On May 4, 2007, a Philippine daily put out an article titled "Martin Nievera struggles in Las Vegas show." The article was sympathetic to the singer: "The singer was bold enough to take everything on his shoulders—even if it would break his back—just to pursue his dream, the source added.



"To keep things going, Martin handles other production chores, even manually carrying sets, equipment and musical instruments off the theater stage to make way for the next set of performers, the source added."



The same article mentioned that Martin and Katrina took over the production. Martin admitted that he was forced to sell his cars and his watches to be able to pay his backup band and production crew.



According to reports, Martin is yet to recover from that financial setback—and is presently down and out.



Now comes talk that Martin is hesitant about returning to Vegas, and the reason is supposed to be because he wants to spend time with his new love in Manila. Meantime, Katrina, who is known to be impatient and feisty where Pops was patient and submissive, is said to be hopping mad. She has reportedly threatened to go on television to expose Martin if he does not return to Vegas fast.
