JEssica Sanchez in Top 3 American Idol

Manny Pacquiao was in the audience when Jessica was declared safe tonight at the American Idol.

Here is the news:

MANILA, Philippines — Jessica Sanchez, the Filipino-Mexican who has wowed audiences worldwide with her gift of song, is now on the top 3 of the popular “American Idol”.
This is the second time that a contestant, of Philippine descent, made it to the top 3 of the popular talent show. The first was Jasmine Trias in Season 3.

On Thursday (Manila time) Sanchez received a standing ovation from “Idol” judges Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez for her rendition of Jennifer Holiday’s hit “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going.”
After being told that she was safe, Holiday tweeted: “Thank you, oh merciful God 4 making sweet Jessica safe! Only u Lord took Jay from the bottom3 2 the top 3! Sing soul angel!” Holiday, in her twitter account @Jennifersspot, urged her followers to vote for Sanchez.

Mo Twister Binastos si Charice sa Twitter

Papansin lang ba ito, paintriga because I do not buy the reason of Mo Twister that it is just for fun.

Here is the news:

MANILA, Philippines – Disc jockey Mo Twister and two others were suspended for two weeks from their radio program for alleged sex tape tweets against international singer Charice.
In a statement Wednesday, Magic 89.9 said they did not condone the actions of Mo, Mohan Gumatay in real life, and his fellow DJs Tin Gamboa and Mia Bayuga in their program “Good Times”.

Tulfo Brothers Suspended

 Anger would not bring anyone something good. Look at the Tulfo Brothers who threatened the couple, Raymart and Claudine in their program with man viewers as witnesses.

Here is the news:

MANILA, Philippines The three hosts of T3: Kapatid, Sagot Kita have been suspended, the corporate public relations officer of TV5 said on Wednesday.
"The Tulfo brothers, Erwin, Raffy, and Ben have been suspended as of 5 p.m. today," a text message sent to InterAksyon said on Wednesday, quoting TV5's corporate public relations officer Peachy Vibal-Guioguio.
"Mon Tulfo, Martin Andanar, and Atty. Mel Sta. Maria will serve as hosts of T3," the same text message said.
No additional details were provided, but the younger Tulfos had drawn flak for their on-air remarks against actor Raymart Santiago, who had figured in an airport brawl with their brother Ramon.

In lieu of the Tulfo siblings, eldest brother Mon - who was not involved in the controversy over the on-air remarks widely seen as bordering on “threats” - was made host of the T3 show, along with two other network hosts, Martin Andanar and resident legal commentator Atty. Mel Sta. Maria.

The three younger Tulfos face an investigation announced earlier by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), which set a hearing Thursday.

Earlier the Kapatid network said in a statement on Tuesday that the remarks of the younger Tulfos, made just before Atty. Mel Sta. Maria interviewed their brother Mon on Monday, were spontaneous, unscripted, and "uncalled for," and that the management was taking action on the matter.

Celebrities' Scandals, Then and Now Part 2

Here is part 2 of the Celebrities' Scandals, Then and Now that were published in inquirer.

Eddie Garcia

It’s hard to give advice because I never quarrelled with a reporter in my entire career. In my opinion, any misunderstanding can be resolved in a peaceful manner. During our time, the Big Four studios (LVN, Sampaguita, Premiere, Lebran) disciplined their actors. We were told to abide by a strict morality code. Mrs. Azucena Vera-Perez (Sampaguita) would call our attention if we misbehaved. Mrs. Vera-Perez always checked the girls’ outfits before they left for a party.

Perla Bautista

.A young star once asked for advice. I told her: “If you want to last long in show business, you’d better know how to keep secrets.” I also believe that how you treat underlings reflects your true personality. When I am in a mall and a sales lady is cranky, I put myself in their shoes. They’ve been on their feet the whole day and they must be tired. Don’t expect special treatment just because you are a movie star.

Delia Razon

Times were different when we were young. In LVN, Doña Sisang (de Leon) took care of us like we were her own children. She taught us to always be friendly and respectful of other people. She would tell us: “Always smile at the fans. If they say something nasty, just turn your back and walk away. Evitar desgusto [Avoid trouble].” I follow her advice until now. If I smile at someone and I get snubbed, okay lang. I shared that tip with my granddaughter Carla Abellana. I told her: “If someone greets you, just wave even if you don’t see the person. Acknowledge the greeting.”

Amalia Fuentes

During our time, there were also shocking scandals, like the murder of Lilian Velez in the hands of Narding Anzures. Every generation has its share of violent incidents. It’s human nature. It just depends on how you handle the situation. Every time actors leave their homes, they will be under scrutiny. That’s why today’s kids should think twice. Count to 10 before you do anything. For parents, make sure to know your children’s friends. Spend time with your kids, get to know them. The family support system is very important. When we were young actors, we were sheltered by Sampaguita. Plus, I credit my mother. I wasn’t allowed to go out at night without one of my brothers as chaperon. I was a virgin until I was 26 years old! Now, when I say that, people ask, “Amalia, are you bragging or complaining?

Caridad Sanchez

Normal people have the same troubles. If the scandals involve actors, they are magnified. I don’t think that these actors’ private problems would adversely affect the entire industry. I think the public is smarter now. They might generalize that all actors are troublemakers; that would be unfair. Well, times have changed. I am not surprised that such scandals have become commonplace. In our time, life was simpler.

Celebrities' Scandals, Then and Now.

Celebrities' Scandals, Then and Now.

How did the old stars behave in public to avoid scandals at the height of their popularity?

Here are some of them. From inquirer. Some photos are also from inquirer.

What was supposed to be a lazy summer weekend has become a time of collective exasperation.

Local Show Town was rocked with a double whammy of very public squabbles involving celebrities—specifically, the bar brawl with former sweethearts Andi Eigenmann and Albie Casiño as protagonists, and the airport altercation between Inquirer columnist Ramon Tulfo and married couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto.

Inquirer Entertainment turned to the country’s veteran actors for a little sobriety amid the hysterics. The senior stars graciously favored us with their voice of wisdom.

Gloria Sevilla

We can’t solve a problem by creating another problem. I’ve experienced being left behind by a plane many times in the past, but when I talked to the airline staff, I was always calm and civil. Even if I felt wronged, I tried to be humble and cool-headed. I guess, everyone is getting hot-tempered these days because of the weather!

Anita Linda

We also had our share of showbiz scandals in the past, but we handled things discreetly. Also, we were protected and disciplined by the studio bosses. Mrs. Adela Santiago of Premiere Productions would scold me: “I heard you were in the nightclub until morning.” They never get tired of reminding us that we should conduct ourselves properly in public. It’s not that we didn’t make mistakes; we just didn’t wash our dirty linen in public. I have a simple advice to young stars: Love your work. Respect your profession. Never forget that you owe your fame to the public.

Marita Zobel

Actually, there isn’t much difference then and now. Scandals also broke out during our time. It’s just that we didn’t flaunt our troubles. We kept things private. It was because we felt that we had a certain responsibility as actors. We were aware that young people looked up to us and we always had to set a good example.

Jaclyn Jose abusing Andi?

Is that the reason why Andi became pregnant at a young age--rebelling against her mom who is allegedly hurting her when she's drunk?

Here is the news: 

Matindi ang mensahe kahapon ng ina ni Albie Casino na si Rina laban kay Andi Eigenmann, na isinasangkot siya sa pambubugbog kay Albie.

Mabigat din ang rebelasyon ni Rina Casino laban sa ina ni Andi na si Jaclyn Jose.

“Ito alalahanin mo. Umiiyak ka sa akin about your mom na alcholic, na beating you up kapag nakakainom,” sabi ni Rina.

Agad naman itong itinanggi ni Jaclyn.

Katwiran ng aktres, hindi siya magtatagal sa industriya kung lasengga siya.

At kailanman, hindi raw niya binubugbog, kahit pitik, si Andi.

Lalo't hindi raw niya pinalaking sinungaling ang mga anak.

“I am not an alcoholic, been working in this business for a long time. Kung alcoholic ako, wala sana akong trabaho. Alam ng industry ang record ko how professional I am and hindi kailan man binugbog ang anak ko. Nu’ng nabuntis nga ni pitik ‘di ko nagawa. Pinalaki ko ang mga anak ko nang walang palo at mahusay na pakikipag-usap lang at lalong ‘di ko pinakalaking sinungaling ang mga anak ko,” sabi ni Jaclyn.

Child Abuse, isasampa ni Claudine at Raymart

Bakit child abuse? Sino ba ang nambugbog? Nagkaroon daw ng trauma ang anak nina Cluadine at Raymart Santiago sa nangyaring rumble sa NAIA. 

Ito ang balita. 

Iika-ikang dumating si Claudine Barretto sa press conference ng asawang si Raymart Santiago kaugnay ng pakikipagsapakan nito kay Mon Tulfo.

Dahil umano sa stress, hindi pinayagan ng mga abogado si Claudine na magsalita.

Pero panay ang iyak niya habang pinapanood ang pahayag ni Tulfo at sa kahabaan ng press conference ni Raymart.

Giit ni Raymart, pinoprotektahan lang niya ang asawa dahil sinipa umano ito ni Tulfo.

“Black belter daw siya ng ewan ko kung anong style. Bakit mo gagamitin sa babae na walang kalaban-laban? Bakit niya kailangan saktan ang asawa ko, eh kahit lamok nga ayaw ko padapuan diyan, tapos sisipain lang niya,” sabi ni Raymart.

Matindi rin daw ang dinanas na trauma ng kanilang mga anak.

“Lalo na ‘yung bunso, very protective siya sa nanay niya. Galit na galit siya, tinatanong niya, ‘Where's that man? Is he in jail?’ For a four-year old na sinasabi ‘yun, very traumatic eh,” sabi ni Raymart.

Kaya bukas, bukod sa kasong physical injury ay balak nilang sampahan ng kasong child abuse si Tulfo.

“For the physical violence na na-sustain ni Claudine at ‘yung emotional violence naman na na-experience ng mga bata na sa harap nila ay sinasaktan ang kanilang ina,” sabi ni Atty. Alex Avisado, abogado nina Claudine at Raymart.

Aminado naman si Raymart na natakot siya sa paghahamon at pagbabanta ng magkakapatid na Tulfo sa kanilang programa sa telebisyon kahapon.

“Bakit? Hindi naman siya ang kaaway ko, hindi naman siya ang nanakit sa asawa ko. Hindi natin siguro matatanggal ‘yung takot pero natural na reaksyon ‘yun eh, na kapag may nag-threaten sa iyo, matatakot ka,” sabi ni Raymart.

Pinag-iisipan pa ng kampo ni Raymart kung idedemanda rin sina Ben, Raffy at Erwin Tulfo dahil sa ginawa nilang paghamon at pagbabanta sa kanya. 

Amalia Fuentes sued Ruffa Gutierrez

So I thought the twitter war is over. Wrong. Amalia Fuentes elevated the case to the court by charging Ruffa Gutierrez of libel. 

MANILA, Philippines — Former actress Amalia Fuentes has lodged libel charges against TV host and ex-beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez for her tweets, which Fuentes said injured her reputation.

Named as respondents were Gutierrez, writer Allan Diones and the editorial staff of the tabloid Abante, identified as Allen Macasaet, Nicolas Quijano Jr., Janet Bay, Jesus Galang, Randy Hagos, Jeany Lacorte, Ron Tamayo, Jorge Punzalan, and Lino Minor.

Fuentes filed the libel complaint on Monday afternoon before the Quezon City prosecutors office.

Gutierrez’s allegedly libelous tweets were posted on April 14 on the micro-blogging website Twitter while Abante published a story on the tweets on April 16.

In the seven-page complaint, Fuentes alleged that the ex-beauty queen accused her of inventing “false stories about” about Gutierrez and her family.

Mon Tulfo versus Claudine and Raymart Santiago

The Rumble in the NAIA was caught by a video uploaded by one of the people in the airport. It disproved that it was Mon Tulfo who started the brawl. Here is the latest: 

MANILA, Philippines (3rd UPDATE) - Brothers of Ramon Tulfo on Monday vowed to exact revenge against celebrity couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto for allegedly mauling the columnist in a melee at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 on Sunday.

Erwin Tulfo said on their T3 show on TV5 that Santiago should expect he and his brothers to go after him. "Abangan mo ang bwelta ng Tulfo brothers," he said.

He also said that Santiago's wife, Claudine, will also feel the Tulfos' wrath.

"Ipagdasal mo lang sana, ipapayo ko sa iyo at sa asawa mo, huwag ka munang lumabas ng bansa dahil kapag nagpangabot tayo sa NAIA Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, tatamaan at tatamaan ka, wala akong pakialam, pati asawa mo tatamaan sa amin. Ipagdasal mo na lamang huwag tayong magkrus ng landas," he said.

Erwin Tulfo added that his brother would not have been mauled by Santiago's group if he was with his brother.

"Siguro kung nagkasabay kami sa eroplano kahapon, pareho kaming galing Davao, nauna lang iyung utol ko, hindi mangyayari iyon pare ko. Dalawa lang patutunguhan noon. Either iinterview ako sa loob ng kulungan o iinterview ako, nagsasalita ako ngayon," he said.

Claudine Barreto blaming Tulfo for the brawl

 It looks like, the CCTV would confirm the allegation of Tulfo that he indeed was mauled by the friends of Raymart Santiago. But Claudine pointed Tulfo to have initiated the fistfight.

Here is the news:

MANILA, Philippines – Actress Claudine Barretto denied that it was her husband Raymart Santiago who started the brawl at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 on Sunday.
This comes after journalist Mon Tulfo claimed that Santiago tried to forcefully grab his cellphone after the actor caught him taking a photo of Barretto when she was allegedly cursing a flight attendant.
In an interview with radio dzMM, Barretto said it is not true that she was cursing the airport staff.
She said she was merely complaining because their bags were left in Caticlan Airport and she needed the medicines of her son.
“Pagbaba ho namin ng airport, naghintay po kami ng matagal sa carousel ng luggage. Walang dumating na luggage namin so lumapit kami sa ground stewardess tapos nalaman namin na naiwan pala 'yung luggage at ipapadala na lang daw,” she explained.

Albie Casino recovering

What was the new mother Andie Eigenmann doing in a bar at that unholy hour? Isn't she supposed to watch her baby? And then the mauling of the susected father of her baby was alleged to have made by her friends,
Here is the news:

MANILA, Philippines – Young actor Albie Casiño is still recovering from the injuries he sustained from a brawl on Friday night at a bar in Makati City, his mother and uncle told ABS-CBN reporter Gretchen Fullido on Sunday.
“According to Albie Casino's uncle, Ali, the actor still cannot speak because of the injury he sustained on his face after the brawl,” Fullido said on her official Twotter account.
Casiño was allegedly attacked by friends of his former flame, actress Andi Eigenmann, during their encounter at Fiamma late on Friday.
The actor’s mother Rina, who was in Subic at the time, was alerted about the incident by her brother Allee Lee and Albie’s road manager.
According to her, Eigenmann “splashed wine on his (Albie’s) face and slapped him.”
While Eigenmann confirmed that she indeed splashed wine on Casiño’s face, she didn’t slap him.
Face to face finally
In an interview on “The Buzz” on Sunday, Eigenmann reiterated that she was not involved in the brawl that ensued moments after their encounter.
“All I did was to spill wine on is face. And now everybody’s mad at me because he was rushed to the hospital,” she said.
According to Eigenmann, she was attending the birthday party of a friend when she saw Casiño. “For the first time, we went face to face since the last time that I got to see and talk to him. That was when we both found out that I was pregnant,” she told “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda.
“He gave me a look, he shoved me and cursed me,” she narrated. “Sa akin po parang it’s the first time that I’m seeing him again. The last time that I saw him, things didn’t go well. It was bad. I never really spoke about it, I never said anything about him because at that time I loved him and I wanted to protect him. I still have respect for him.
“But after that happened, instead of me being shy, being humble enough to move out or go away or say hello at least, he curses at me.
“Naawa ako sa sarili ko. After that, I spilled wine on him,” the young actress said.
Parking lot brawl
According to Casiño’s mother, Eigenmann’s companions followed his son and his friend to the bar’s parking lot. She identified Eigenmann’s friends as Frank Magalona, Carlos Concepcion, Jeck-Jeck Lacson and Neil Arce.
Albie was allegedly hit on the head with a wine bottle. Moments later, the bar’s bouncer was able to stop the commotion, she said.
Magalona and Concepcion have denied involvement in the incident.
Concepcion, in a post on micro-blogging site Twitter, said he was not in the vicinity when the alleged brawl happened. "I have no involvement with last night's incident. I was nowhere near the vicinity," he said.
Magalona also asserted he was not among Eigenmann's companion that night.
"I was not involved in that incident. I was at Fiamma last night for my friend's birthday. I was not with Andi Eigenmann at all," he said on Twitter.
Meanwhile, Magalona’s mother, Pia, urged an investigation on the incident.
Eigenmann on “The Buzz,” said, “I can’t speak on behalf of them (her friends). Narinig lang po namin lahat ng nangyari. I did not see it.”
She also said she hasn’t talked to her friends yet. “As far as I know, my friends [are not the type of people who beat others],” she told Abunda.
“If I wanted him to get hurt, I could have done that a long time ago,” she said. “But I never seek for revenge.”
Eigenmann even said when she found out that happened to Casiño, she ran outside to look for him.
“I ran up to him. I said ‘Are you okay?’ and then, he curses at me, curses at me, forces me to give names,” she said.
Mother speaks
Casiño’s mother also agreed to an interview with “The Buzz,” where she reiterated her suspicion that the attack on her son was planned.

 This is one lady who will fight everyone to get even. The wife of Jose Manalo would never allow herself to lose share in her husband's largesse.

MANILA, Philippines—The wife of Eat Bulaga co-host Jose Manalo is asking a Quezon City court to award her more than P2 million in damages for the “malicious and oppressive” law suit that the show’s producer lodged against her.
Manalo’s estranged wife, Anna Lyn, also sought the junking of a petition for injunction and damages filed by the Television and Production Exponents, Inc.
Anna Lyn filed her 14-page answer with counterclaim in Branch 218 of the Regional Trial Court presided over by Judge Luis Zenon Maceren.
In her pleading, filed through lawyer Lowell John Fetizanan, Manalo’s wife asked to be awarded P2 million for moral and exemplary damages and P100,000 in attorney’s fees.
“Because of the filing of the malicious and oppressive lawsuit that added strain to her marriage, defendant (Anna Lyn) suffered mental anguish, besmirched reputation and serious anxiety and even sleepless nights,” her pleading said.

Angelica Panganiban and John Lloyd Cruz?

Is it true that Angelica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay broke up because of John Lloyd Cruz?

source: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/05/02/12/derek-angelica-relationship-rocks

MANILA, Philippines – Is it the end for celebrity couples Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban and John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao?

That’s what entertainment editor Ricky Lo was implying in his column at the Philippine Star titled “Headed for splitsville?” which was published on Wednesday.

“When John Lloyd and Angelica came home from Vietnam after shooting some scenes for their new ABS-CBN teleserye, which has no title yet, things didn’t seem the same between them and their respective partners. A rift has suddenly happened between the two pairs and, if not repaired in time, might lead them to splitsville,” Lo wrote.

“Could it be true that while in Vietnam, John Lloyd and Angelica discovered (better late than never!) that they have something in common, that they like the same thing. Did they receive a message in a bottle?” Lo added.

News about the supposed “cool-off” between Ramsay and Panganiban spread on Twitter on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Ramsay sent an intriguing tweet to his girlfriend. “Be strong (Angelica). We all know who you are and that there is no truth to what's being said. I'm here for you if ever you need anything.”

Will they still believe Piolo Pascual

The latest movie of Piolo with Angelica Panganiban as the leading lady will indicate whether the people will be convinced of KC's revelation. The trouble in the paradise between Derek and Angelica is suspected as a controversy create something to talk about the movie stars. And as usual, people with scandals in their names always invoke the name of God as their witness.

source:  http://entertainment.inquirer.net/38883/piolo-pascual-fears-being-misquoted

After his highly publicized breakup with actress KC Concepcion, Piolo Pascual said he has been keeping mum about his personal life for fear of being misquoted in news reports.

“Mahirap magsalita. People end up giving different meanings to the things I say,” said Piolo during a recent media gathering for his latest film, “Every Breath U Take.”

The actor was asked to enumerate the qualities he likes in a girlfriend. “I don’t want to be misquoted. Love will come at the right time and for the right person. I remember being asked about my plans for settling down and replying that only time would tell,” said the actor. “Right now, I’m just going with the flow. There are things I need to do for myself first. I have work commitments and I want to focus on them.”

Who is Marilene Jacinto Arroyo?

While the public observed the fight between wife number two and alleged mistress of the late Negros Occidental Congressman Arroyo, some people could not help but asked where is wife number one. She seemed not interested  in the propertiess lefy behind by the deceased. Even the children in the first marriage did not express any interest.

Here is an article of Babe Romualdez which explains why. 

The Quezon City Prosecutor’s office has indicted Marilene Jacinto, first wife of the late Negros Occidental Congressman Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo, for falsification of public documents. The indictment stemmed from a complaint by Marilene’s brother – Ramon “RJ” Jacinto – president of the family-owned Oregon Land Inc., alleging that Marilene faked a Deed of Absolute Sale and presented the same to the Quezon City Register of Deeds to have the ownership of the P300-million Novaliches property transferred to her name.

The indictment is only the latest in the long-running Jacinto family saga marked by infighting among siblings over their inheritance. The late family patriarch Don Fernando Jacinto is the acknowledged founder of the steel industry. Don Fernando’s father, Nicanor Sr., is also one of the founders of the Bank of Commerce and Security Bank, and together with the steel mill in Iligan City plus vast land holdings, the family wealth expanded to great heights. The Jacinto children lived the kind of opulence and extravagance that most other people could only dream about. At a young age, they were living in the lap of luxury, driving around in the flashiest cars and mingling with the scions of society’s most elite. As a matter of fact, RJ would be seen driving around the Ateneo campus in a red and white Thunderbird – at a time when the T-Bird was just being introduced locally – while another brother went around in a Jaguar.

Angel Locsin is staying with the ABS-CBN

Despite the transfers of several talents to TV5, there are celebrities who remains in their mother studio. One of them is Angel Locsin.

MANILA, Philippines – Angel Locsin dispelled her alleged recent sighting at the premises of GMA-7 for a meeting—a purported move that roused speculations that she might return to her former home network.

The Kapuso network has earlier belied the rumor, while Angel confessed that she’s clueless on where it originated.

“Baka ‘yung mga dating mga posters ko nakikita nila pero hindi. Minsan gusto ko dumalaw pero hindi pupuwede,” she said with a laugh in an interview with Push.

Angel remains loyal to her mother studio since her controversial transfer in 2007, as evidenced by the renewal of her contracts with ABS-CBN and its film arm, Star Cinema, last April 27. She’s likewise grateful over how she has grown as their talent over the years.

Marian Rivera denied that she's pregnant

MANILA, Philippines – Marian Rivera is more amused than surprised with rumors that she’s pregnant.

“Actually, may nagsabi sa akin tapos dineadma ko lang hanggang sa tinext ako ni Dong. Sabi niya sa akin, ‘Gusto ko lang ipaalam sa ‘yo na may lumalabas na buntis ka. How I wish’, sabi niyang ganoon. Kaya nga sabi ko, ‘Ay ganoon ba?’” Marian explained during the presscon for her latest sitcom “Tweets For My Sweet.”

She then bluntly declared,“Hindi totoo, ano ba!” Laughing, she also noted that she’s clueless at how the rumor started.

“Saan nanggaling ‘yon?” she asked.

Wearing a body-hugging white outfit which exposed her back, Marian is so reed-thin that it is impossible to conclude that she’s indeed pregnant. 

“Naka-white ako ngayon, hindi pa ba halata [na hindi ako buntis]?”

And if ever she’s really on the family way, the Kapuso actress will not even try to hide it.

“Siguro natututo na ako. Hindi ako papasok sa isang bagay na hindi ko kayang panindigan at kapag ginawa ko ‘yan at kapag nangyari ‘yan sa akin ay ibo-broadcast ko ‘yan,” she said.

Dingdong Dantes’ girlfriend shared that she wants to be a mom someday, saying, “Sino ba naman ang babaeng hindi gustong magka-anak? Ako gusto kong magka-anak. Balang-araw gusto kong maging dancing lola, why not? Open ako sa ganoong bagay.”

But she’s not ready to be a mom any time soon.

 Kikita kaya ang pelikula nina Piolo Pascual at Angelica Panganiban?
Abangan.

MANILA, Philippines – Piolo Pascual is not eager to fall in love even months after his controversial breakup with KC Concepcion.
According to Pascual, he’d rather take things in stride believing that love and everything that goes with it will come at the right time.
"Dumarating naman 'yan [love] sa tamang panahon, sa tamang pagkakataon at sa tamang tao,” said he in a recent promotional jaunt for his new film.
Pascual was unbending when probed further about the matter, seemingly keen on keeping everybody guessing when it comes to his love life.

The Love Story of June Keithley and Angelo Castro, Jr.

With each tear a memory, a glimpse of the past, a feeling, an emotion, which I know is neither good nor bad, right or wrong—for how can one be judgmental over “Feelings,” as Imelda used to sing with such passion?
It is in the Choice we make, the Act of the will, that reality comes into play. I chose to love this man more than 40 years ago and I am so grateful that as I wait in peace for him to cross over into the light, I love him still.
I first met Angelo when I joined ABS-CBN and was a mainstay of “Laugh In” and “Mission Patok.” I was young, brash, and a dish in really short, hot pants. A group of hotshot salesmen chanced upon Baby O’Brien, Mitch Valdez and myself and invited us to dinner and dancing at the top of Hyatt hotel.
The top hotshot of them all (not Angelo) asked me to dance and bit my shoulder when I said I didn’t want to go out with him because he was married. As foolish as I may have been then, I knew that nothing good would come out of deliberately wounding another woman, especially a wife.
In the car on the ride home, I was seated next to Angelo, who immediately held my hand. It lay there, unresponsive, until he mockingly threw it away.
A few days later, he chanced upon me at the lobby, waiting for Mitch to finish “TSP Presents.” He stopped and asked what I was doing. “Nothing,” I replied, and he countered with, “How would you like to do nothing with me?” I was snared, and would often crack a joke to hide the blaze of my heart.
Full of joy
We would talk for hours, hanging on opposite sides of the grills of the gate till 4 or 5 in the morning. At the time I was living with Rosie and Julie Borromeo (to get away from my super strict German-American stepfather), and every time he drove up in his “bulok” lime-green Cortina, Rosie would yell out, “Hark. Hark, the lark!” and I would dash out, so full of joy.
We decided to live together, and when my mom heard this, of course she was shocked. June? This St. Paul colegiala, president of the Catholic Action, Sodality of Mary, star of Paulinian musicals? I countered with “Because I want to make sure it isn’t just lust. So many of my classmates got married upon graduation and are now separated. I want to know if this is love.”
Tiklop si mom. And maybe, because in my heart I knew it wasn’t right, I fought to hold on to the relationship.
But what a shock it was to me. As strict as my stepfather was, he was gruff and conventional. I thought all marriages and relationships were like theirs. He was VP and GM of Peco (Philippine Education Company) and he went off to work at 7 a.m., would call my Mom at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. every single day. He would be home by 5:30 p.m. Every Friday he would bring home an egg pie, take my mom to his Fraternal Order of Eagles meeting, and on Saturdays my Mom and I would meet him at Castillejos, eat in a Chinese resto and watch double-bill movies. (Audie Murphy was her favorite.)
When we finally got a car, we would pack some lunch and drive to the lot we bought on Tagaytay Ridge. I had begun to develop jiggly boobs, but that didn’t stop me from climbing trees or falling into hot piles of carabao shit.
Shock
But life with Angelo almost put me into catatonic shock! He never came home on time. I would wait—from 7 to 10 p.m., frantically dialing all numbers, searching for him. And he was the jealous type, imagining dragons where there weren’t any. I would go off to tapings often on a 6 a.m. call time, put on 3 or 4 pairs of false eyelashes and layer my face with foundation all day. He would wait for me to finish, drinking at Country Chef, pick me up usually around 3 a.m. and whisper: “Love, I didn’t eat dinner because I can’t wait for you to cook for me.”
This, to a spoiled only child who took three hours to make rice! By the time I was done, he would be fast asleep and the layers of false eyelashes would be strewn all over the floors and counters.
But that wasn’t all. I couldn’t go to sleep because each night he would lovingly mutter, “Love, don’t forget to wake me up early so I won’t be late for work.” So I would make sure to be up for him at the appointed time. Boy, let me tell you, those Castros can sure sleep.
And he was a chick magnet. I died every time. Maybe I wasn’t the right woman for him, but the song “Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, I gotta love one man till I die” must have been written just for me.
On hindsight, I realized it wasn’t easy for him to be with me. The guys at Country Chef would roar out that the reason he had a new car was because June had a new show. After Edsa, one of his so-called friends loudly boasted that the reason I was so brave was because I had a third ball. “Alam namin na yung isang b—g ni Angelo na kay June.”
Staying together
But, somehow, through all those turbulent years we had, without outwardly consulting each other, we came to the personal conviction that it was important to keep the family together. We had a son, Diego, with whom he would swordfight and who would rub watermelon rinds on his face at the dinner table. We got married and had a daughter, Gabriela Guadalupe. He finally met his match.
This was the female who captivated him. He lulled her to sleep singing “Chain Gang,” called her seven or eight times a day even though she couldn’t speak. And she had him wrapped around her tiny fingers. He brought her to the newsroom, to golf on Saturdays. He even breathed life into her when she stopped breathing because she was mad at him.
He came home one night in tears, asking me to pray for an ex-girlfriend with whom he had a daughter. And when he miraculously survived a quadruple bypass, I knew God wanted more from me. So I sought the woman out to say I had forgiven her and wanted our children to come together.
But Angelo wanted even more. He asked me to go to her as she lay dying of breast cancer, as he couldn’t be there. So I went to the hospital, feeling like the mistress because of some shocked, hostile stares, and took her in my arms and sang to her as she was dying. Her daughter is now our daughter, too.
Now Angelo has been asleep since 4 p.m., and our son has come to tell me so. I rush through this article as my eyes begin to blur. I have to finish this—it’s for him.
I am at peace because Fr. Orbos has anointed him. But I weep as I thank God for the love of my life—Angelo Castro Jr.
