Kris Aquino siyang nagpadala kay Karylle sa US

Kay Zsa Zsa Padilla galing ang balitang ipinadala ni Kris Aquino sa Los Ange­les, California si Karylle para 
present ang anak sa operasyon niya bukas. Sabi ng singer-actress sa interview ni Ricky Lo sa The Philippine Star, nagulat siya at touched sa gesture ng TV host-actress. Last Sunday umalis si Karylle para sa operasyon ng ina sa Amerika.

Galit pa rin si Kris kay Joey Marquez at Philip Salvador

May karapatan namang magalit si Kris sa mga naugnay sa kaniya. Masamang loob din ang ibinigay sa kaniya. Ito ang balita.

Mukhang malalim ang sugat na naiwan sa puso ni Kris Aquino sa kanilang paghihiwalay noon ng kanyang ex-boyfriend na si Joey Marquez dahil hanggang ngayon ay ayaw pang pumayag ang Queen of All Media na magpa-interview kay Joey sa kanyang Saturday showbiz talk-show with Janice de Belen and Carmina Villarroel sa ABS-CBN, ang Showbiz Inside Report or SIR.

Malutong na “no” ang sagot palagi ni Kris kapag siya’y tinatanong kung payag ba siyang magpa-interview kay Joey para sa talk show ng huli. Bukod kay Joey, hindi rin in good terms si Kris sa ama ng kanyang panganay na anak na si Joshua na si Phillip Salvador. 

Surprisingly, Kris is okay sa kanyang ex-husband na si James Yap, ama ng kanyang bunsong anak na siBimby.

Annabelle Rama

Getting sympathy from people after her plan to run as congresswoman was met by negative opinion> Annabelle had this for her press release.

MANILA, Philippines – Feisty talent manager Annabelle Rama admitted that she had tried to take her own life just to get rid of the pain of jealousy caused by her intense love for actor Eddie Gutierrez, who is now her husband.

“Minsan ako na lang ang naglason para matapos na rin. Uminom ako ng shampoo at saka (ano pa) kasi gusto mo nang tapusin at hindi mo na matiis, in love na in love ka,” she said in an interview on ABS-CBN morning talk show "Kris TV"  Friday.  

Rama said she also thought of splashing muriatic acid on Gutierrez's face, still because of jealousy.

“Kasi nga parang niloloko ka na at ayaw mo siyang mapunta sa ibang girl. Parang gusto mo tapusin mo na lang. Parang ganoon ang nangyari noon,” she said.

Rama stressed, however, that she and Gutierrez are on good terms, adding that they have been married for over 10 years.

The talent manager said it was her eldest daughter, Ruffa, who encouraged Gutierrez to marry her mom.

"Sabi niya (Ruffa) bakit mga classmates ko laging parents nila kasama, ako hindi. So sabi ko sa kanya 'sabihin mo sa daddy mo na pakasalan ako.' Ginawa naman ni Ruffa. Pasalamat ako kay Ruffa kahit lagi kaming magkaaway niyan eh dahil sa kanya ay pinakasalan ako ng daddy niya," Rama said.

Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barreto are not human rights victims

The case filed by the couple Raymart and Claudine claiming their human rights were violated was junked by the court.

Here is the news: 

Saying that movie stars Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto are not victims of human rights, a Quezon City judge has junked the petition for Writ of Amparo sought by the spouses against the Tulfo brothers – Raffy, Ben, and Erwin.

Judge Maria Filomena D. Singh of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 219 issued the resolution last Friday after sustaining the arguments raised by defense lawyer Nelson Borja who sought the dismissal of the petition for having no basis.

Borja claimed that the celebrity couple, who had been involved in a mauling incident with newspaper columnist and broadcast commentator Ramon Tulfo, are not entitled to government protection under the Writ of Amparo because they are far from being victims of human rights.

In her ruling, Singh cited the rules on the said writ that stated “only extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances are proper subjects of a petition.”

She said the writ is issued by the judiciary when it serves both preventive and curative roles to address human rights violations.

The couple claimed they were entitled to the protection offered by a Writ of Amparo because they feared retaliation from the three Tulfo brothers, who host a hard-hitting public service TV program on Channel 5.

In their petition, Santiago and Barretto claimed that the Writ of Amparo is a remedy available to any person whose right to life, liberty and security is violated or threatened with violation by an unlawful act or omission of a public official or employee, or of a private individual or entity.

It never became exclusive

Grace Lee admitted that it never came to a point that her relationship with PNoy  became exclusive. They dated only for a few months. Here is the news:

MANILA, Philippines - Grace Lee admits that she learned a lot during the time she has gone out with President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III.

“He was a very interesting part of [my] life… ang dami kong natutunan,” recalled Lee in a recent interview with PEP.

Lee went on to deny that she and the president became "exclusive" as many assumed.

“We dated for a couple of months and, you know, sometimes you date and it works out, and you go to the next level, you become a couple, and you are in an exclusive relationship. We never got there," she said.

The 29-year-old radio broadcaster and TV host was mum as to the real reason why the relationship didn't work out but she was quick to shoot down allegations that it was supposedly because she was already insisting on marriage.

Zsa Zsa Padilla has kidney cancer

The doctor's findings about the growth that was in the kidney is cancer in stage 1  for Zsa Zsa Padilla. Here's the news:

LOS ANGELES -- Still grieving over the death of her long-time partner Dolphy, singer and actress Zsa Zsa Padilla has more bad news.

As if things couldn't get worse, the 48-year-old Padilla told ABS-CBN News that she has been diagnosed with stage one cancer.

She has a malignant growth the size of a golf ball inside her kidney, her doctor at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California have told her.

“The first time I saw Dr. Folkes, he immediately told me it was malignant. So when I heard that word 'malignant,' I said, 'Oh man, I have cancer.’ I went back the next day for blood work and a scan and it showed the same thing -- almost a 3 centimeters growth -- and he advised for it to be taken out," Padilla said.

Last Saturday marked 40 days since Dolpy's death.

Friends and family gathered to pray for the well-loved Filipino King of Comedy at St. Patrick's Church in North Hollywood.

Unknown to the many guests, the grieving widow, who arrived in Los Angeles last week, remains devastated.

She hasn't spoken much since the death of Dolphy.

“Talaga I'm still in denial. Part of me is still in the stage of denial. Then I try to recall everything that has happened – [him] getting sick, being in the hospital, staying in the ICU - everything up to his death. But part of me still feels I'll see him again,” she said.

With Dolphy's death and this recent news of her illness, Padilla said she remains steadfast in prayer.

She said it has put a lot of things in perspective and she's already made a bucket list.

Despite the circumstances surrounding her, Padilla said she wants people around her to stay positive.

“This is the first stage. Once it's removed, I'll be cancer-free. I'm going to take care of myself and eat well," she said.

Padilla will have a surgery on August 27 at Cedars Sinai. If it goes well, she will be out of the hospital in two days and will be back to work in a month.

Padilla added that once she becomes a cancer survivor, she hopes to raise awareness.

For most people, having their husband pass away and immediately being diagnosed with cancer would be too overwhelming.

Padilla, though, is committed to staying strong. She said she is looking for the challenge and ready to live life day by day.

The Order of National Asrtists Award for Cinema for Fernando Poe Jr

Susan Roces and Grace Llamanzares accepted from President Aquino, the the Order of National Artists for Cinema for the late Fernando Poe, Jr.

Here is the news: 

MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno S. Aquino III confers the Order of National Artists for Cinema (posthumous) to the late “King of Philippine movies” Ronald Allan Kelley Poe, popularly known as Fernando Poe, Jr., represented by FPJ’s wife actress Susan Roces, in a ceremony at the Rizal Ceremonial Hall, Malacañang Palace on Thursday.

Roces refused to accept the posthumous award during a conferment ceremony at Malacañang in June 2006, during the incumbency of then-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Poe ran against Arroyo in the 2004 presidential elections, the results of which were questioned by FPJ before he passed away on December 14, 2004.

The Order of National Artists (Orden ng Gawad Pambansang Alagad ng Sining) is the highest national recognition given to Filipino individuals who made significant contributions to the development of Philippines arts; namely, Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Literature, Film and Broadcast Arts, and Architecture and Allied Arts. The order is jointly administered by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).

In his speech, Aquino paid tribute to Poe’s contribution not only to Philippine Cinema but his service to the Filipino people.

Tito Sotto blamed contraceptives for the death of his son

Tito Sotto is against the RH Bill. This is what caused him to oppose it.

source: abs-cbn,

Sen. Tito Sotto on Monday said it is his personal mission to block the passage of the Reproductive Health (RH) bill because his son died due to the side effects of contraceptives.

During his "turno on en contra" speech against the bill before the Senate, Sotto shed tears as he blamed contraceptives for the medical condition of his son, Vincent Paul, who died 5 months after he was born in 1975.

He said his wife, actress Helen Gamboa, first gave birth to a girl in January 1973. Since Gamboa was working in TV and movies, she took the advice of a doctor-friend and started taking contraceptives.

After a year, she again conceived and gave birth to Vincent Paul on March 13, 1975. Doctors at the Makati Medical Center said the boy had a weak heart and needed blood transfusions almost daily.

"The Makati Medical Center can prove to the fact na wala silang makita na dahilan kung bakit nagkaganun yung bata kundi dahil nagko-contraceptives yung asawa ko. Nabuntis pa rin kahit na gumagamit ng contraceptives," he said.

He added: "He was born but he never left the hospital. The Makati Medical Center said he died because my wife used contraceptives. Even her doctor admits to the fact, Dra. Enderga Santos."

The senator said his son died on August 13, 1975, exactly 37 years ago today.

Sotto admitted that he felt sorry but also jealous of other senators who admitted losing children.

"Parang naiinggit pa nga ako, Mr. President. Mabuti pa nga sila nahawakan nila. Yung anak ko 5 months ni hindi ko nahipo. Nahawakan ko patay na," he said.

The senator said he prayed daily to God to spare his son. He said he did not receive an answer from God until today, 37 years later.

"Kasi pala, magiging misyon ko ito pala para ipaglaban ko ang karapatan na mabuhay ang maraming inosenteng bata na kikitilin ang buhay ng bill na ito," he said.
