Tulad ng inanunsiyo ni Kris Aquino kahapon, Disyembre 19, sa morning show niya sa ABS-CBN na Kris TV, natuloy siya sa pagpunta sa Cagayan de Oro kagabi para sa relief operations para sa mga nasalanta ng Bagyong Sendong.

Nagsagawa ng relief operations doon si Kris bilang bahagi ng ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya Foundation.

Kasama niya rito ang mga kaibigang sina Angel Locsin, Anne Curtis, at Vice Ganda.

Kanina, Disyembre 20, ay ikinuwento ni Kris sa Kris TV ang kanilang naging karanasan sa CDO.

"Pasensiya na kayo medyo paos [ako] kasi kagabi, halos one in the morning na kaming nakauwi.

"The ABS-CBN airplane brought us home from Cagayan de Oro.

"Nakalibot kami...we went to both Consolacion and the other place... forgive me hirap na hirap akong matandaan...Balulang.

"Yun ang maraming tao talaga, yung sa Balulang.

"You know, actually, kasi yung pagpunta namin was really biglaan.

"And gusto ko talagang mag-pay tribute sa foresight ni Angel Locsin...

"Kasi magkasama si Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, Angel Locsin, and myself.

"And si Angel at ako, pareho naming naisip... Kasi Angel was planning to do parang charity bago mag-Pasko noong mga ine-endorse niyang produkto..."

Si Kris naman daw ay namili ng mga ini-endorse niyang shampoo at sabon.

Aniya, "Kasi ang balak kong pasabog doon sa parada ng Metro Manila Film Festival...kasi nanghihingi sila ng giveaways, e.

"Doon ko talaga dapat ipamumudmod yun.

"Sorry ha, uy, yung mga magpaparada sa 24, huwag kayong magalit sa akin, dinala ko sa Mindanao," paghingi ng paumanhin ni Kris.

May pelikula si Kris na kalahok sa MMFF, ang Segunda Mano.

RELIEF OPERATIONS. Habang nagkukuwento si Kris ay ipinapakita naman ang video ng ginawa nilang relief operations at kita ngang madilim sa lugar.

Paliwanag ni Kris, "Wala pang kuryente kaya nakikita n'yo dun sa video, madilim pa talaga. Ilaw lang 'yan ng camera.

"Tapos tingnan n'yo yung mga tao.

CELEB STYLE / FASHION

Sarah Geronimo is hotter than ever! After going through tough times in the field of love, she comes out stronger and fiercer without veering away from her good-girl roots.

Sarah Geronimo is stronger...and sexier!

This December, pop star princess Sarah Geronimo graces the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine Philippines for the second time.

Compared to her previous cover feature in November 2008, the 23-year-old singer now sports a bolder, sexier look.

"We wanted to bring out Sarah's inner Cosmo girl," says editor-in-chief Myrza Sison in an interview with Cosmo TV. (CLICK HERE to view video)

"It's been three years since she was on the cover and she's really grown into a lovely, confident young woman.

"We wanted to capture that."

Fashion director Ana Kalaw figured it would be perfect to show Sarah wearing a variety of sexy dresses, which are also perfect for the month's party-heavy nights.

"We wanted to connote the party atmosphere so we used a lot of fun clothing—a lot of sparkly, colorful, gold, and metallic clothes to bring out that festive feel."

On the cover, Sarah wears a nude stretch dress with black lace overlay by local designer Tina Daniac.

Inside, she dons a white and lavender mini dress with paillettes by Kristel Yulo.

Both outfits are obviously more daring compared to her "wholesome" wardrobe.

In fact, it has been known among her fans and the circle of stylists she regularly works with that anything that raises two or three inches above the knee is a no-no for Sarah.

If in case the dress falls too short, she'd opt to wear leggings or tights underneath just to cover her legs.

Every Sunday, she performs song and dance numbers in ASAP Rocks, channeling pop stars ranging from Lady Gaga to Katy Perry and her personal favorite Beyonce.

Her performance level seems to see no limit, but she's somewhat restrained when it comes to her outfit.

Sarah admits to being quite a "manang" when it comes to her style. But whenever she sees her fellow artists wearing sexy clothes, she admits to feeling the pressure of joining the band wagon.

But her clear head has usually prevailed.

She relates in her magazine interview, "The girls who wear sexy clothes—skimpy ba ang tawag dun?—in ASAP, it does get to me.

"Wow, ang ganda ng legs ni Anne [Curtis].

"O, eto, maganda ang mukha. Sana ako din bigyan ng ganyang legs.

"But that's not me. Ayokong magpadala. I'll always be the girl who doesn't wear lipstick when I don't have to."

Mo Twister on Rhian Ramos: "This business has made her believe that we have to take the life of our own child because no one will forgive her for this. That this job will ruin her. So we agreed that we'd come here and get it done."

UPDATED: Video of Mo Twister goes viral on the Net; claims ex-girlfriend Rhian Ramos "got rid of our baby" in Singapore last year

Kumakalat ngayon sa Internet ang kontrobersyal na video ni Mo Twister kung saan isiniwalat nito ang pinagdaanan diumano nila ng ex-girlfriend na si Rhian Ramos sa Singapore noong kalagitnaan ng 2010.

Ang naturang video, na may titulong "RepairedMovie.mov," ay in-upload ni PrettyJenny55 noong November 28, 2011.

Narito ang URL kung saan matatagpuan ang inupload ni PrettyJenny55: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9VVP3lu38s

Tumagal ang video ng 13 minutes at 24 seconds.

Mukhang ito ang video, na ayon sa ilang nakapalibot kay Mo sa TV5, ay sinabi mismo ni Mo na ikakalat niya pag-alis ng Pilipinas.

Ngunit nasa Pilipinas pa si Mo sa ngayon at nakatakda pa lang lumipad papuntang New York bukas, December 3.

Ayon pa rin kay Mo, ginawa niya ang video noong gabi ng July 28, 2010, sa isang hotel sa Singapore.

Sa video ay mistulang kinakausap ni Mo ang kanyang sarili.

Ito raw ay upang magsilbing alaala ng aniya'y "horrible day" na iyon sa Singapore.

Diretsahang sinabi ni Mo sa video na pupunta sila ni Rhian sa isang ospital sa Singapore kinabukasan "and get rid of our baby."

Ipinakita rin ni Mo sa video ang isang pregnancy test na may positive na resulta.

Sa kabuuan ng video ay mahina lamang ang boses ni Mo at ilang beses siyang umiyak.

TRANSCRIPT OF MO'S VIDEO. Narito ang kabuuang pahayag ni Mo sa kanyang video, ayon sa mismong transcription ni PrettyJenny55, na siya ring nag-upload ng video.

(Ang kaibahan lang ay, sa original transcription, capitalized lahat ang letra.):

"It's 28th of July 2010, first time I'm doing this.

"I don't even know why.

"Um, maybe one day you'll watch this just to remember how horrible of a day it is.

"You're in Singapore, you've been crying all evening because, tomorrow morning, you and Rhian will go to the hospital here and get rid of our baby.

"It doesn't matter naman what I think about it because this was her choice.

"I don't know how long you'll keep this as a souvenir, but this is a test."

"Hihingin ko lang siguro, pag-iintindi sa mga tao. Hindi madali yung proseso. Hindi rin madali yung maraming nakaabang, maraming naghihintay, at maraming nakikialam. So, ang akin lang, hayaan na lang muna kami, especially Kristina, na it's not easy," says Piolo Pascual about breakup with KC Concepcion.

Piolo Pascual on breakup with KC Concepcion: "[Ang] akin lang, hayaan na lang muna kami."

Nasaksihan ng publiko ang labis na pagtangis ng aktres na si KC Concepcion dahil sa paghihiwalay nila ng kasintahang si Piolo Pascual.

Ilang linggo ring naging usap-usapan ang umano'y pagtatapos ng kanilang relasyon, subalit kinumpirma lamang ito ni KC sa eksklusibong panayam sa kanya ni Boy Abunda sa The Buzz na ipinalabas kahapon, Nobyembre 27.

Pagtango lamang ang naisagot ng dalagang anak nina Sharon Cuneta at Gabby Concepcion nang tanungin siya kung hiwalay na sila ng singer-actor.

Hindi rin naging payak si KC sa kanyang sagot tungkol sa naging dahilan ng paghihiwalay nila ni Piolo.

Sa halip, sinabi ng 26-year-old celebrity, "May mga hinahanap ako na basic lang na hahanapin ng isang babae sa isang boyfriend, sa isang lalaki.

"Ayoko na siguro pumunta sa details, Tito Boy, kasi ayokong siraan siya.

"Pero let's just say na lahat talaga kaya ko, lahat!

"Lahat ng kung may anak siya, tinanggap ko yun. Tinanggap ko yung anak niya.

"Kahit may mga times na hindi ko siya maintindihan, tinanggap ko kasi sinasabi sa akin ng mga kaibigan namin na personality niya yun.

"Kapag may mga bagay na hindi ako sang-ayon na ginagawa sa isang babae, tinatanggap ko kasi naniniwala akong mabait siyang tao.

"May mga bagay na hindi ko na kayang lunukin, hindi ko na kaya yun tanggapin..."

Sa isang bahagi ng interview ay sinabi rin ni KC ang mga sumusunod:

"Tito Boy, naniniwala naman ako na pag sinasabi ni PJ [palayaw ni Piolo] na minahal niya ako, naniniwala naman ako na meron namang katotohanan iyon.

"Pero, masakit man sabihin, hindi ako yung...siguro nag-fail din ako dahil hindi ako yung kailangan niya sa buhay niya.

"Or, hindi ako yung hinahanap niya sa buhay niya.

"And hindi...hindi ko mabigay sa kanya yung kailangan niya."

Diin pa ni KC, "PJ knows exactly why we broke up. He knows exactly why."

PIOLO PASCUAL'S BRIEF RESPONSE . Dahil sa mga pahayag ni KC, marami ang nag-aabang ng reaksiyon naman ni Piolo.

Singer-actress Jolina Magdangal and musician Mark Escueta tied the knot earlier today, November 21, at the Splendido Taal Golf and Country Club in Tagaytay City, Cavite.

Karen A. Pagsolingan

Ms. Jolina Magdangal is now Mrs. Mark Escueta!

Ikinasal na sina Jolina Magdangal at Mark Escueta kaninang bandang alas-singko ng hapon, November 21, Lunes.

Ginanap ang "sikretong" Christian wedding na ito sa Splendido Taal Golf and Country Club sa Tagaytay City, Cavite.

Matatandaang hindi ipinaalam nina Jolina at Mark sa publiko kung kailan at saan eksakto gaganapin ang kanilang kasal.

Nais kasi ng dalawa na maging pribado ang kanilang pag-iisang dibdib.

Napag-alaman din ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na noong Sabado, November 19, ay ginanap na ang Church wedding nina Jolina at Mark.

"Very private" ang naturang kasalan.

Ayon nga kay Mark, "Mga bente lang kami."

THE GROOM & THE BRIDE. Halata namang ninenerbiyos si Mark ilang sandali bago ganapin ang kanilang Christian wedding.

"Excited," sagot ng Rivermaya drummer nang tanungin kung kumusta siya ng mga sandaling iyon.

Nagningning at mukhang masayang-masaya naman si Jolina habang nagmamartsa sa saliw ng kantang "Moonriver."

Hindi rin napigilan ng bride na mapaluha habang naglalakad pa lang patungo sa altar.

WEDDING VOWS. Damang-dama naman ang kaligayahan nina Mark at Jolina habang nagpapalitan sila ng wedding vows.

"Ikaw ang pinakamagandang regalo ni God," sabi ni Jolina kay Mark.

Inamin ni Jolina na ilang beses niyang sinubukang isulat ang kanyang vows.

Pero nagdesisyon siyang mag-impromptu "para hindi scripted."

Aniya pa, habang tumutulo ang mga luha, "Sabi ko, sasabihin ko na lang kung anong nararamdaman ko para sa iyo.

"Lahat ng nandito, lahat ng in-invite natin dito, alam nila kung gaano kita kamahal."

Biro pa ni Jolina, "Pagpasensiyahan mo na kung minsan naghihintay ka ng limang oras dahil nasa banyo ako.

"Kung matangkad at mestiza lang ako, promise three minutes lang ako sa banyo.

"Pasensiya ka na kung minsan, ang daldal-daldal ko..."

Ang gusto ko lang sabihin, e, hindi po nakakatulong sa akin, sa pamilya ko, sa career lalo, na dahil ang pangit sa image ko ang ganun.

Jennylyn Mercado admits relationship with Luis Manzano is now "formal"; confirms Patrick Garcia has non-showbiz girlfriend

Hindi man diretsahang inamin ni Jennylyn Mercado na sila na ni Luis Manzano, pero ganun na rin ang ibig niyang sabihin nang tinanong ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kung ano na talaga ang status ng kanilang relasyon.

"Meron naman siyang lumabas na interview tungkol dun.

"Ang masasabi ko lang, masaya kami.

"Meron na kaming parang formality," medyo alanganin niyang sagot nang kinulit namin tungkol sa kanilang relasyon.

Masasabing sila na nga bilang magkasintahan?

"Parang ganun," pakli nito.

"Basta kaming dalawa, formal na rin yung relationship namin.

"Basta masaya kami at nagtutulungan talaga kaming dalawa."

Tanggap na raw ng kani-kanilang pamilya ang kanilang relasyon, lalo na raw ang pamilya niyang botong-boto kay Luis.

RAYMART & PAOLO. Nilinaw rin ni Jennylyn na ipinagkibit-balikat na lang daw ni Luis ang intriga nitong nali-link siya kay Raymart Santiago at pati kay Paolo Contis.

Parehong kasama ni Jennylyn ang dalawang aktor sa dating drama series nilang Futbolilits.

Saad ni Jennylyn, "Alam naman ni Luis kasi tungkol dun sa mga nali-link sa akin.

"Siyempre, may mga asawa na sila.

"Kaswal lang naman niyang tinanong, e. Nakita naman niya, e.

"Minsan pumupunta siya sa taping ng Futbolilits, nakikita naman niya, e, as in magkakasama kaming lahat sa table with Luis.

"Katabi si Luis, nakikita naman ng mga tao kung paano kaming dalawa. Alam naman nilang lahat yun, e.

"Si Luis naman, sabi niya, 'Obvious naman na meron lang gustong sumira sa 'yo.'"

Kahit nairita si Jennylyn sa intrigang yun, hindi naman daw ito nakakaapekto kay Luis at sa kanilang relasyon.

Sabi ng Kapuso actress, "Hindi naman nakaapekto at all.

"Sabi ko nga, kahit hindi totoo iyan, siyempre lumabas din iyan, may mga tao rin na siyempre hindi mo basta-basta mapaniwala kasi iba rin ang takbo ng isip ng tao.

GMA-7 emailed a statement to PEP.ph on November 11:
"When the GMA artists were about to go on stage, Anne Curtis, her handler and a student organizer approached a GMA representative to ask if she could go on stage first. However, GMA staff declined and instructed the floor director and production staff to please proceed with the programme sequence, as the Kapuso stars also had other schedules to go to, and by this time were already waiting for nearly three hours. GMA later found out that Ms. Curtis had left the venue and had tweeted about the incident."

FIRST READ ON PEP: GMA-7 responds to Anne Curtis's rant on Twitter

"We were simply sticking to the programme sequence provided by the organizers."

This was GMA-7's response to Anne Curtis's tweet about her supposed appearance and song number at the kick-off party of USTv Students' Choice Awards last November 10.

Shortly after leaving the event, the actress said on Twitter, "I tried to at least get up on stage and say hi kahit 2 minutes lang but GMA staff didn't want.

"Thomasians, I was there on the left side of the stage & told them kahit d na ako kumanta babati Lang ng Hi and Hello but GMA Staff said no." (CLICK HERE to read story)

But in the statement sent by the corporate communications department of the Kapuso network, Anne was not originally included in the sequence:

"GMA was not aware nor informed by the organizers in any prior meeting that Anne Curtis will be part of the program."

A "last-minute insertion" had already "pushed back the schedule," thus, resulting in "three hours of waiting" by the GMA-7 performers.

Lastly, the statement asked the organizers "to come forward" to avoid further misunderstanding.

Below is the full statement, which was emailed by Angel Javier last night, November 11, at 11 p.m.:

Anne Curtis tweeted that she was not allowed by a GMA staff to go onstage in last night's USTv Students' Choice Awards kick-off.

Here is GMA's side of the story:

1. Prior to the event, network representatives had been briefed by the organizers/UST about the sequence of the programme. This was to be the basis for arranging our artists' schedules and determining their call time for the event.


2. Based on the schedule, GMA artists were supposed to perform at 7 pm. Our talents were at the venue as early as 5 pm. Last-minute insertion of ABS-CBN's Banana Split cast in the programme however further pushed back the schedule.


3. Shortly before GMA's number, GMA representatives confirmed the programme sequence with organizers. We were told that the Kapuso artists would be next. GMA was not aware nor informed by the organizers in any prior meeting that Anne Curtis will be part of the program.


4. When the GMA artists were about to go on stage, Anne Curtis, her handler and a student organizer approached a GMA representative to ask if she could go on stage first.

However, GMA staff declined and instructed the floor director and production staff to please proceed with the programme sequence, as the Kapuso stars also had other schedules to go to, and by this time were already waiting for nearly three hours.

5. GMA later found out that Ms. Curtis had left the venue and had tweeted about the incident.


Ms. Curtis posted a series of tweets which elicited a lot of negative
reaction towards GMA. The fact is—we were simply sticking to the
programme sequence provided by the organizers themselves.

We are certain Ms. Curtis had her own reasons for requesting to go onstage immediately, but the Kapuso artists also had their own respective schedules and had in fact been pushed back even prior to Ms. Curtis' request.


We are hoping that the organizers could come forward and clarify matters to avoid blowing things out of proportion.

"Sana siguraduhin ng ating awtoridad na tama ang kanilang imbestigasyon at tama po ang mga witnesses dahil napakabigat po para sa mga biktima at mga magiging biktima pa na inosente..." Senator Bong Revilla (in photo) said, addressing police investigators when he was interviewed after Ramgen Revilla's (not in photo) funeral.

Senator Bong Revilla asks for reinvestigation of Ramgen Revilla murder case

Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. still cannot believe that two of his half-siblings are considered by police as primary suspects in the murder of his half-brother Ramgen Revilla.

The murder occurred last Saturday, October 29. (CLICK HERE to read related article.)

The Revillas implicated by police in the murder are Ramon Joseph "RJ" Bautista, 18, and Ramona Revilla, 21.

Both are siblings of Ramgen, the slain 22-year-old aspiring actor-politician.

Earlier today, the Parañaque City Police began considering the murder investigation a"closed case."

In an interview with GMA News, Chief Inspector Enrique Sy said that a "vital witness," who was identified as Roel Puzon, pointed to RJ and Ramona as among those who planned to kill Ramgen.

Chief Inspector Sy said of the evidence at hand: "Matibay po, dahil mayroon tayong vital witness na nagsasabi na kasama siya [RJ] sa pagpaplano sa pagpatay, at nakita niyang [Puzon] ibinigay noong ating suspect ang pera para pambili ng mga baril na gagamitin kay Ramgen... sa pagpatay."

The police still do not have a witness linking Ramona to the crime, but the investigating group believes that circumstantial evidence may prove that she was involved in the crime.

This includes her alleged fabricated story that she was abducted by the killers.

SENATOR BONG REACTS. Meanwhile, Senator Bong Revilla has asked for a reinvestigation of his half-brother's murder case.

In an interview with the media after the burial of Ramgen, posted earlier on ABS-CBN News, the actor-politician said: "Hindi kapani-paniwala na gagawin yun ng aming kapatid [RJ].

"At kung saka-sakaling ginawa nga niya... pero sa tingin namin hindi kayang gawin...

"Up to now, yes, walang makapagsabi na solido na sila nga [ang sangkot sa krimen]."

Addressing the police, the senator-actor said: "Sana siguraduhin ng ating awtoridad na tama ang kanilang imbestigasyon at tama po ang mga witnesses, dahil napakabigat po para sa mga biktima at mga magiging biktima pa na inosente...Mabigat po para sa amin."

RJ is already in the custody of Parañaque police, while his sister Ramona is still at large.

Both may face murder and frustrated murder charges for the killing of their brother Ramgen and the attempted murder of Ram's girlfriend Janelle Manahan.

Congressman Manny Pacquiao is in the news again after a report came out claiming that he allegedly fathered a lovechild with a 22-year-old Culinary student. But Kat Ordoñez, the alleged other woman, denied this in a phone-patch interview with Showbiz Central.

Daddy Manny or Ninong Manny?: Culinary Arts student denies Manny Pacquiao is the father of her child; says the boxer-politician is only one of the godfathers

Sa pamamagitan ng phone-patch interview kahapon, October 16, sa Showbiz Central, agad na pinabulaanan ng isang Kat Ordoñez ang balita na si Congressman Manny Pacquiao ang ama ng bata na pinabinyagan niya noong September 17.

Ginanap ang binyagan sa St. Francis de Assisi Church, Mandaluyong City, at idinaos naman ang baptismal reception sa Edsa Shangri-La—ang hotel na hindi kalayuan sa nabanggit na simbahan.

Ginawa ni Kat ang denial isang araw matapos ilabas ng tabloid na Bulgar ang mga litrato mula sa naganap na binyag.

Ayon sa artikulo ni Janice Navida na lumabas noong October 15 sa Bulgar, may isang tao raw na nagpadala sa kanya ng email ng baptismal photos ng alleged lovechild nina Manny at Kat.

"Vice Ganda" raw ang ginamit na codename ng source at may email address daw itong "gantiwomanizer@gmail.com."

Ayon pa raw sa nag-email, "Even though Manny Pacquiao acted as one of the 'ninongs', he is actually the father of the child!"

Kabilang din daw sa mga ninong sa binyag ang songwriter/composer na si Lito Camo at ang aktor na si Phillip Salvador—kapwa malalapit na kaibigan ng Filipino boxing champ.

Incidentally, nakikilala na rin ngayon bilang si Pacquiao bilang "Ninong Manny" dahil sa pagiging host niya ng game-variety show na Manny Many Prizes sa GMA-7.

THE KAT IS OUT OF THE BAG. Sa interbyu ng Showbiz Central, sinabi ni Kat—isang 22-year-old Culinary Arts student—na ikinagulat niya ang paglabas ng mga litrato ng binyag ng kanyang baby boy sa Bulgar.

Ayon kay Kat, "Hindi po totoo 'yon.

"Si Congressman Manny Pacquiao, hindi po tatay ng anak ko.

"Kinuha ko lamang siya na ninong ng anak ko sa binyag na naganap noong September 17 sa St. Francis de Assisi.

"Ipinanganak ko po ang baby ko noong November 17, 2010 sa Capitol Medical Center.

"Hindi po totoo na si Congressman Manny Pacquiao ang tatay ng anak ko kasi po imposibleng mangyari 'yon.

"Imposibleng si Congressman Manny Pacquiao ang maging tatay ng anak ko, kasi po yung father ng baby ko, yung nasa Dubai."

Dagdag pa ni Kat, "Kasi po ganito ang story niyan, yung ex-boyfriend ko po na assistant ni Manny Pacquiao... ni Congressman Manny Pacquiao po, hmmm... lagi ko nga kasama, so naging close ko po sina Congressman Manny Pacquiao at in-invite ko sa binyag.

"Siyempre po, nakakagulat po kasi po pati family ko, nadamay. Tahimik po kami na tao.

"Saka nakakahiya din po sa pamilya ni Congressman Pacquiao."

Humingi rin ng paumanhin si Kat kay Manny at sa pamilya nito.

"Para po kay Congressman Manny Pacquiao at sa pamilya niya po, humihingi po ako ng paumanhin dahil hindi naman po totoo yung balita.

Anne Curtis cries upon receiving Gold Record Award for debut album AnneBisyosa

Anne Curtis received her Gold Record Award for the album, AnneBisyosa, which sold 10,000 units in less than a month. "Hawak ko na yung award ko, 'di pa rin ako makapaniwala hanggang ngayon," says the actress who shed tears upon her receiving her award last Sunday on ASAP Rocks.

Sinasabing taon ni Anne Curtis ang 2011 dahil sa mga tagumpay na tinatamo niya hindi lang sa kanyang acting career kundi pati na rin sa kanyang singing career.

Naging blockbuster ang pelikulang No Other Woman kunsaan bida si Anne kasama sina Derek Ramsay at Cristine Reyes. Lagpas P210 milyong piso na rin ang kinita ng nasabing pelikula kunsaan gumanap bilang mistress or "other woman" si Anne.

Matagal nang pangarap ni Anne na magkaroon ng sariling solo album. Nagpe-perform siya ng mga awitin sa Showtime, lalo na ang kanyang signature piece na "Alone." Binigyan rin siya ng pagkakataon ng ABS-CBN na kumanta ng "Sukob Na," ang theme song ng rainy season Station ID ng Kapamilya Network.

Fourteen years nang talent si Anne sa Viva Entertainment, Inc., at inamin niya sa kanyang previous interview na talagang hiniling niya sa management na ipag-produce siya ng album.

"It's a dream come true!" sabi pa ni Anne tungkol sa kanyang album. Noong September 23, nagkaroon si Anne ng mall show upang i-launch ang kanyang 8-track album na pinamagatang AnneBisyosa.


Noong Linggo, October 16, sa ASAP Rocks, matapos ang production song number ni Anne ay sinurpresa siya ng Viva Records para bigyan siya ng Gold Record Award. Umabot na sa 10,000 units ng AnneBisyosa album ang nabenta in less than a month.

Maluha-luhang tinanggap ni Anne ang kanyang Gold Record Award. Walang tigil ang pag-agos ng kanyang luha sa kagalakan. Ani Anne, "Maraming salamat sa Viva Records dahil after 14 years ko sa showbiz binigyan nila ako pagkakataon na magkaroon ng sariling album. Heto, may mailalagay na akong ganitong Gold Record Award sa bahay ko."


Nang tanungin ng PEP si Anne tungkol sa natamo niyang Gold Record Award, agad siyang nagpasalamat sa lahat ng sumoporta sa kanyang album. "Nabigla ako, pero sobra akong happy, thank you po sa lahat ng bumili ng album ko."

Sinabi pa ni Anne na ang Viva ang magpapasya kung magkakaroon siya ng pangalawang album.

Pinagkaguluhan ng media ang magkasintahang sina Valenzuela City councilor Shalani Soledad at Pasig congressman Roman Romulo kagabi, October 5, sa launch party ng Esquire Philippines magazine na ginanap sa The Peninsula Hotel sa Makati.

Ito kasi ang unang pagkakataon na maiinterbyu nang sabay ang dalawa matapos ianunsiyo ni Cong. Romulo ang kanilang engagement noong nakaraang buwan. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Inusisa ng media ang mga plano at paghahanda nila para sa kanilang nalalapit na kasal.

Ayon sa kongressita, "Actually, we're still really planning everything

"But as soon as everything's finalized, we'll start sending out the invitations."

May napili na ba silang motif at theme ng kanilang kasal?

"Lahat, actually, ano talaga, e, marami pa ring options na tinitingnan just to make sure that Shalani gets the wedding that she likes," saad pa ni Cong. Romulo, na nakatatandang kapatid ng editor-in-chief ng Esquire Philippines na si Erwin Romulo.

Ika nga nila, a wedding day is a bride's day.

Kumusta naman ang bride-to-be na si Shalani? May plano na ba siyang kumuha ng wedding coordinator?

"Of course, we will be getting a wedding coordinator.

"But as of now, kami pa rin ang nag-aayos, like finalizing the entourage, finalizing kung saan namin gusto," sagot ng magandang konsehala.

Traditional church wedding ba, garden setting, o beach wedding ang napupusuan nila?

"Naku, wala pa talaga! Wala pa talaga. Zero pa," nakangiting sagot ng Wil Time Bigtime co-host.

"But definitely, we will let you know, lalo na ang TV5, everyone. We'll let you know."

Ilang guests naman ang balak nilang imbitahin sa kasal?

Ayon kay Cong. Romulo, "Again, wala pa rin, e.

"Wala pa rin po kami do'n sa part na 'yon, e.

"Kasi, we're really fixing yung ano, yung mas kailangan talaga para maayos yung wedding."

Nasa proseso pa nga ang magkasintahan ng pag-aayos ng detalye ng kanilang kasal na magaganap sa first quarter ng 2012.

Sa ngayon ay pinagdedesisyunan pa nila kung sinu-sino ang kasama sa wedding entourage at ang principal sponsors.

Aljur Abrenica (inset) will soon be introduced as Dayaw, the new leading man of Marian Rivera in GMA-7's epicserye, Amaya.

Marian Rivera relishes the idea that she will continue to bring life to a warrior princess for much longer.

The GMA-7 actress recalls the announcement made by management regarding Amaya, her primetime series set during the pre-colonial times.

"Actually, dapat ang Amaya hanggang October lang tapos na-extend kami ng November. Then last, last week, sinabi nila na hanggang January na. So naka-dalawang extension siya. Ang saya ng Pasko kasi may trabaho," Marian told PEP.ph in a recent interview.

"Lahat nga kami pinagdadasal na sana hanggang December para pag dumaan ang Christmas, lahat masaya. Nung in-announce na hanggang January, parang fiesta, ang saya-saya! Parang hindi muna nag-taping ng isang oras, nagdaldalan muna."

Last week, Mikael Daez's character named Lumad was killed off from Amaya.

Aljur Abrenica will soon be introduced as Dayaw, the new leading man of Marian in GMA-7's epicserye.

The actor was supposed to be seen on GMA-7's epicserye last Tuesday, September 29, but due to the bad weather brought about by Typhoon Pedring, the plot of the show was modified. Aljur will reportedly appear on the October 4 episode of Amaya.

(CLICK HERE to read related article)


Marian said that she doesn't have problems working with Aljur because they already worked with each other for the fantaserye Dyesebel and the movie Temptation Island.

Aside from Aljur, there will also be another female character who will soon join the cast of Amaya.


NEW SITCOM. Marian is also excited about her upcoming project on GMA-7: topbilling her own comedy series.

"Meron akong sitcom, yung papalit sa Show Me Da Manny. Inaayos pa pero sariling sitcom ko na," she said with a smile.

Marian believes that working on a sitcom is suited to her because of her jolly personality.

"Yun yung isang parte ng personality ko na nagugustuhan ng tao. Gusto nila na magpatawa ako.

"Binigyan uli ako ng GMA ng pagkakataon...Sabi nila sa akin, 'Yan, gawa ka uli ng sitcom.' Sabi ko sige. This November dapat gagawin pero na-extend ang Amaya kaya sabi ko hindi ko yata kakayanin so sabi ko after Amaya na lang.

"Siguro by January, pwede ko na gawin ang bago kong sitcom."

How does she feel about being tapped to star in comedies, drama and even in shows with action sequences such as Amaya?

"Ang sarap mag-experiment!" she exclaims. "At least, kahit saan ka ilagay, flexible ka. Pwede ka mag-drama, horror or sitcom. Ang saya, lalo na pag-sitcom kasi ang feeling ko pag sitcom, parang hindi ako nagte-taping. Feeling ko masaya lang ako."

With regards to her favorite genre, she admitted, "Lahat naman enjoy ako pero iba kasi pag sitcom kasi may tamang timing at saka masaya ka pag natatawa ang mga tao. May mga nagtetext sa akin, 'ano ka ba, nakakatawa ka.' At may mga movie naman aong nagawa na nakakatawa. Siguro kasi yun ang personality ko bilang tao, instant na yun para sa akin."

When asked about her dream roles, Marian enumerated: "Marami pa! Hindi pa ako nagbabaliw-baliwan, hindi pa ko nagagawa ng may kapansanan, hindi pa ko nagagawa ng action na normal na tao.

"Ang mabait na lumalaban, ang mahirap na naging mayaman, nagawa ko na yung mga yun."

"The entire year na nagpapagamot siya, he has gone through so much pain. Hirap na hirap na hirap na hirap na talaga siya na minsan, hindi ko alam kung ipagdadasal ko ba na pahabain pa yung buhay niya pero ganito, or kung kunin na lang siya para hindi siya mahirapan. So, hindi ko na alam kung alin dun yung hihilingin ko. But more than that, I was really praying for a miracle that he will get better," says Camille Prats about the ordeal she went through when her husband Anthony Linsangan was diagnosed with cancer.

Isang araw pagkatapos pumanaw ng kanyang mister na si Anthony Linsangan, sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ay nagpaunlak ng panayam ang aktres na si Camille Prats.

Sumakabilang buhay si Anthony kahapon, September 23, dahil sa nasopharyngeal cancer sa edad lamang na 31. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Sa mismong burol ni Anthony sa Heritage Park sa Taguig City nakausap ng Startalk si Camille. Ipinalabas ang naturang interview kaninang hapon, September 24.

YOUNG WIDOW. Dito ay ipinahayag ng 26-year-old actress ang kanyang saloobin sa pagkamatay ng kanyang asawa.

"Okay naman, medyo... siyempre mahirap.

"Pero siguro, the family, ako, medyo nakita... hindi naman nakita, pero hinanda naman namin ang sarili namin na kung sakali man na dito papunta...

"Pero siyempre, mahirap pa din.

"Hindi ka makapaniwala kasi he's very young. At that time, he was only turning 30."

Ang tinutukoy ni Camille ay magti-thirty years old pa lang noon si Anthony nang ma-diagnose siya na may cancer. Stage 4 na ang cancer ni Anthony nang matuklasan na meron siya nito.

Patuloy pa niya, "So siyempre, parang hindi totoo.

"Kasi parang hindi... it's not possible for someone his age to acquire a disease like that.

"Pero ni-rule out agad yung cancer kasi nga sa edad niya.

"Tapos iyon, so when we found out that it was cancer, siyempre parang hindi ako makapaniwala na parang we had to go through it.

"But of course, we had hope.

"Kaya kami nag-resort to treatment and all those things, kasi nga we had hope that he will get better at kakayanin niya.

"Kasi nga bata pa siya."

DRAWING STRENGTH. Ikinuwento rin ni Camille ang mga pinagdaanan nila nang matuklasan nilang may cancer si Anthony.

"Mga around June, kasi we got married March of last year, so mga June, medyo masakit na yung jaw niya sa left [side].

"Tapos nagkaroon na siya ng parang lymph node or nagkaroon na ng bukol so we had that checked.

"Siguro until mga... from June, we started doing check-ups around June until September.

(UPDATED) Shalani Soledad now engaged to Pasig Rep. Roman Romulo; gets a diamond ring from him

Valenzuela City councilor and TV host Shalani Soledad is now engaged to Pasig City representative Roman Romulo.

The announcement was made by Rep. Romulo in an interview with ABS-CBN.

Rep. Romulo proposed to Shalani at the Our Lady of Fatima church in Valenzuela City.

According to the lawmaker, they are eyeing to settle down next year.

Rep. Romulo also revealed that he first asked for Shalani's hand from her mother, Mrs. Evelyn Soledad, three weeks ago.

Mrs. Soledad said, "I admire the courage and honor of Rep. Roman Romulo in seeking me out and telling me his intentions with my daughter Shalani."

She added that she cried when Rep. Romulo personally went to her to ask permission to marry her daughter.

Meanwhile, Rep. Romulo's sister, Agriculture Undersecretary Berna Romulo-Puyat, confirmed reports that her brother gave Shalani a diamond ring. (CLICK HERE to read related article.)

Puyat confirmed this in a chat with reporters during the budget hearing for her agency at the House of Representatives, Quezon City.

According to a PEP source, the diamond ring is an heirloom given by Rep. Romulo's mom, Rosie Lovely Tecson Romulo.

Based on a report by Lira Dalangin-Fernandez of News 5, Usec. Puyat also mentioned that Shalani is "well-liked" by the Romulo family.

The 44-year-old representative of the lone district of Pasig City has already introduced Shalani to his family, which only means that Rep. Romulo is serious about the former girlfriend of President Noynoy Aquino.

"He doesn't bring women to the house unless he is serious," Usec. Puyat told the media.

According to the report, Rep. Romulo regularly fetches the 31-year-old city councilor from TV5 Studio in Novaliches after every episode of Wil Time Bigtime.

They also go to Quiapo church together whenever they can, Usec. Puyat revealed.

"I'm doing everything I love and I'm surrounded with the people I love... Hindi nga ibibigay lahat ni God sa iyo. So, kung ang lovelife di niya ibigay, okay lang, darating yun," says Kris Aquino.

Kris Aquino on settlement with James Yap: "It was fair. I don't think he was greedy."

May lumabas na report na "P48 million" diumano ang nakuhang pera ni James Yap sa settlement ng annulment case nila ng dating asawa na si Kris Aquino.

Dahil nga raw rito kaya binibiro ng ibang tao ang PBA player na ang yaman-yaman na raw nito, at naging "instant millionaire" na raw ito dahil sa perang nakuha sa nasabing settlement.

Pero sa panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Kris, sa first shooting day ng pelikula nila ni Dingdong Dantes na Segunda Mano noong September 5, dinepensahan ng TV host-actress ang dating asawa tungkol sa balitang lumabas.

"No, I won't comment, papagalitan ako ni Judge," simula niya.

"Alam ninyo, 'wag naman nilang maliitin si James. MVP [Most Valuable Player] naman siya, malaki naman ang kita niya.

"Ayoko din naman kasi na sabihin niya na wala na nga ako sa buhay niya, nakikialam pa ako.

"Hayaan n'yo na siya kasi hinahayaan naman niya ako.

"Kanina was our last hearing, so I wish him well."

Kuwento pa ni Kris, "The kids spent the weekend with him coz I was abroad and, in fairness to him, pati si Josh isinama niya. They went to Subic. "

Si Josh ang anak ni Kris mula sa dati niyang karelasyon na si Phillip Salvador.

"Okay kami and, you know, we're not close, and I'm not pretending na close kami. It's not like we talk, we text.

"We're civil and he's good to my children, so okay na yun."

BIMBY UNDERSTANDS. Hindi ba siya nahihirapan na ipaliwanag kay Bimby ang sitwasyon nila ni James?

"Ay, okay naman siya kasi yesterday, hinatid siya ng Papa niya.

"Nagkasalubong kami sa lobby, tapos parang nilalapit niya ang mga kamay namin.

"Tapos tinanong namin siya nung umalis ang Papa niya, 'Do you like your Papa to stay here?'

"Sabi niya, 'No, Mama, because he'll be bored here with us.'

"Sabi ko, 'Why?'

Ang sagot niya, 'Because he likes other things... What does he like, basketball. What do you like, movies.'

"I asked him again, 'How often do you like to see Papa?'

Mapapanood bukas sa programang Startalk si Princess Snell para patunayang hindi siya ang tinutukoy sa isang kumakalat na blind item sa social networking site na Twitter. Ayon sa naturang blind item, isang young actress daw ang malapit nang isilang kanyang anak sa karelasyong personalidad na may asawa.

PEP EXCLUSIVE: Princess Snell denies she is pregnant with Manny Pacquiao's child; apologizes to Jinkee Pacquiao for the rumor

Ngayong gabi, September 9 ay muling nag-trending topic sa Twitter Philippines si pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.

Ito ay dahil sa napabalitang planong tumakbo ng Sarangani congressman bilang gobernador sa 2013 elections at bise presidente naman sa 2016.

Bukod dito ay napag-uusapan din ang tungkol sa isang blind item na kumakalat tungkol sa isang may asawang personalidad na nakabuntis daw ng isang young actress.

Ayon sa mga usap-usapan sa Twitter, ang tinutukoy ng blind item na ito ay si Manny raw at ang young actress naman daw ay ang Starstuck V avenger na si Princess Snell.

Kani-kanina lang ay nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa telepono si Princess habang pauwi ito galing sa taping ng programang Startalk.

Hindi nagdalawang-isip si Princess na sumagot sa mga katanungan tungkol sa isyu.

Ayon kay Princess, "I didn't know [na pinag-uusapan na pala ako].

"Pagdating ko sa trabaho, sinabi na lang sa 'kin ng mga kasamahan ko na gano'n nga daw.

"It's not true," paglilinaw ng 19-anyos na host-actress.

Hindi rin lubos maisip ni Princess kung saan nagmula ang tsismis na ito.

"I have no idea. Noon, I got a text na random lang. Someone told me if I'm pregnant.

"Hindi ko naman pinansin kasi akala ko kalokohan lang.

"Then after, mga two, o three weeks ago, sinasabi sa kin na nasa FB [Facebook] na.

Ano sa tingin niya ang dahilan kung bakit pilit siyang inili-link kay Manny bagamat minsan na nitong nilinaw na wala silang ugnayan sa isang interview niya sa Startalk?

"Ewan ko. Siguro gusto nilang sirain si Manny or gusto rin nila akong sirain, kasi apektado din naman ako dito," saad niya.

CONDO UNIT AND CAR FROM MANNY? Muli ring nilinaw ni Princess ang napabalita noon na niregaluhan umano siya ni Manny ng condominium unit at kotse.

"Siguro yung condo, bibili pa lang ako next year. Pero, hindi po galing kay Manny ang ipambibili ko do'n.

"Nagre-rent ako ngayon, hindi ako nakatira sa parents ko. Pero yung kinikita ko din ang pinambabayad ko do'n.

"Wala po akong condo [unit].

"Yung kotse, may kotse po ako pero ako po ang bumili. Hindi rin po bigay 'yon ni Manny."

MESSAGE TO JINKEE. Nagbigay naman ng mensahe si Princess sa kabiyak ni Manny na si Jinkee Pacquiao.

Tony Award-winner Lea Salonga was chosen by the Miss Universe Organization to sit as one of the judges at the Miss Universe 2011 pageant on September 12 (September 13, Manila time) in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Lea Salonga named as one of the judges of Miss Universe 2011

Thursday, September 8, 2011
09:42 AM

In-announce na ng Miss Universe Organization, spearheaded by its president Paula M. Shugart and NBC Universal head Donald J. Trump, ang celebrities and experts na uupo bilang mga judge sa 60th Miss Universe pageant.

Gaganapin ang Miss Universe 2011 sa Credicard Hall sa Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 12. Mapapanood ang pageant in more than 90 countries, including the Philippines, through ABS-CBN.

Kabilang sa mga hurado this year ang Pinay international theater actress and singer na si Lea Salonga.

Kasama ni Lea sa judges' panel sina Helio Castroneves, three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500; Connie Chung, US broadcast legend; Isabeli Fontana, Brazilian supermodel; Vivica Fox, actress and television producer; Adrienne Maloof of Bravo's hit series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills; at Amelia Vega, Miss Universe 2003.

Nakilala si Lea Salonga sa buong mundo dahil sa pagganap niya bilang Kim sa hit stage musical na Miss Saigon noong 1989.

She went on to win numerous theater awards (for best actress in a musical) mula sa Lawrence Olivier Award ng West End, London hanggang sa prestigious Tony Awards in Broadway.

Si Lea ang pang-limang Pinoy na napiling maging judge sa Miss Universe.

Ang unang Pinoy na nag-judge sa prestihiyosong beauty pageant na ito ay si Carlos P. Romulo. He was the secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs sa mga administrasyon nina President Elpidio Quirino, President Diosdado Macapagal, at President Ferdinand Marcos.

He sat as judge sa 1974 Miss Universe held here in the Philippines. Ang nanalo that year ay si Amparo Muñoz ng Spain.

Pangalawang Pinoy na naging judge sa Miss Universe ay ang international Filipino designer at founder ng The Natori Company na si Josie Cruz-Natori.

Naging judge siya sa 1989 Miss Universe held in Cancun, Mexico. Angela Visser of Holland won the crown that year.

Ang Pop Diva naman na si Kuh Ledesma ang ikatlong Pinoy na naging judge ng Miss Universe held in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1991. Si Lupita Jones ng bansang Mexico ang siyang nag-uwi ng korona that year.

Ang ika-apat ay ang Chinese-Filipino businessman na si Dr. Emilio T. Yap during the 1994 Miss Universe, na ginanap dito sa Manila, kunsaan nanalo si Sushmita Sen of India.

Si Shamcey Supsup ang representative ng Pilipinas sa taong ito. Mataas ang expectations sa kanya dahil naging 4th runner-up last year ang ating kandidata na si Maria Venus Raj.

Maugong ang balita na isa si Shamcey sa may pinakamataas na boto sa online poll ng Miss Universe 2011.

Ang kandidata kasi na makakuha ng pinakamaraming online votes ay automatic na mapapabilang sa semi-finalists.

Ang magiging host ng Miss Universe 2011 ay sina Andy Cohen of Bravo's Watch What Happens: Live and Natalie Morales of NBC's The Today Show.

Anchor hosts naman sina Jeannie Mai of Style Network's How Do I Look at ang Miss USA 2004 na si Shandi Finnessy.

Ang performers naman ay ang Granmy-nominated singer/songwriter na si Bebel Gilberto at Brazilian native pop singer na si Claudia Leitte.

"Maybe instead of feeling bad that Albie left me to take on this responsibility by myself, I should thank him for giving me the opportunity go out and find genuine happiness once again," says Andi Eigenmann, who finally admitted in her blog that Albie Casiño is the father of her child.

Andi Eigenmann names Albie Casiño as the father of her child

Mula nang lumabas ang balita tungkol sa pagbubuntis ng young actress na si Andi Eigenmann, naging malaking palaisipan na sa karamihan ang katauhan ng ama ng kanyang dinadala.

Dalawang pangalan ang lumutang kasabay ng balitang ito—si Albie Casiño, na dating nobyo niya, at si Jake Ejercito, na napapabalitang kasalukuyang nobyo niya. (CLICK HERE to related story.)

Naging tahimik si Andi tungkol dito.

Gayunman, naging vocal ang kanyang mga kapamilya tungkol sa ama ng kanyang anak; lalo na ang kanyang daddy na si Mark Gil.

Sa panayam ni Mark Gil sa The Buzz ay nagparating ito ng matatapang na pahayag sa itinuturong ama ng dinadala ni Andi. (CLICK HERE for related article.)

Pero ngayon, tila si Andi na mismo ang naglagay ng tuldok sa mga usap-usapan sa kung sino ang tunay na ama ng kanyang dinadala.

MOTHER AT 21. Kahapon, September 4, ay isiniwalat na ni Andi sa kanyang blog entry, na may title na "The Good That Won't Come Out Chapter: Deux", ang pangalan ng ama ng kanyang anak—si Albie Casiño.

Ipinarating din ni Andi sa kanyang blog entry ang kanyang sentimyento sa maagang pagbubuntis niya.

Aniya, "As soon as I have learned to embrace the fact that instead of having a child at the age of 29, it was blessed upon me as early as now."

Dagdag pa niya, bagamat nabuntis siya ng mas maaga kaysa sa kanyang pinaplano, tingin niya'y hindi ito magiging hadlang upang matupad niya ang kanyang mga pangarap.

"All those points that would usually bring me to endless tears, have remained to be dreams, STILL highly possible from coming true.

"Amidst the lack of maternal instincts, and no ounce of being nurturing or maternal whatsoever, I am now undoubtedly ready to raise a child on my own."

THE FATHER OF HER CHILD. Kasabay ng kanyang pagsasabi ng saloobin, tila hindi na rin napigilan ni Andi na banggitin ang ama ng kanyang dinadala— si Albie.

Pero, walang bahid ng galit o sama ng loob ang mga binitawang salita ni Andi sa dati nitong nobyo.

Wika niya, "Maybe instead of feeling bad that Albie left me to take on this responsibility by myself, I should thank him for giving me the opportunity go out and find genuine happiness once again."

Dagdag pa niya, "I'd obviously love for him to be around eventually.

"You know, to save myself the struggle to find a good way to explain his absence to his child.

"At the same time, I'd understand. Cus after all, I have no idea who or what kind of a person all the fame and fortune has turned him into now.

"All I hope is that he's well."

Shalani Soledad is dating a congressman

Guess who Shalani Soledad is dating?

Roman Romulo!

Roman is the representative of the lone district of Pasig City.

He is also the son of former Department of Foreign Affairs chief Alberto Romulo, and brother of Guadalupe Romulo, Mons Romulo-Tantoco, Bernadette Romulo, and Erwin Romulo, the editor of soon-to-launch Esquire Philippines.

Shalani and Roman were seen around midnight today, September 2, in Baclaran church.

The couple were also spotted last week at The Peninsula Manila Hotel.

Roman reportedly said to friends that the relationship is "Umuusbong pa lang."

Shalani, who is a councilor of Valenzuela City, has always said that her love is "politics."

Roman, being a lawmaker, obviously fits the bill.

Shalani came into the public eye when she became the girlfriend of then-Senator Noynoy Aquino. But the two broke shortly after PNoy won in the Presidential elections last year.

Shalani was also linked to her co-host in the TV5 variety-game show Wil Time Bigtime, Willie Revillame. But apparently, it was all talk.

PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) has already gotten in touch with both Shalani and Roman for their respective statements.

As soon as we hear from them, PEP will immediately post their reactions.

Direk Paul Soriano appeared on The Buzz yesterday, August 28, for a sit-down interview with girlfriend Toni Gonzaga. The director answered some of the fastest and controversy-laden questions he ever faced.

Paul Soriano pops surprise question to girlfriend Toni Gonzaga

It was an exciting experience for the studio audience of The Buzz yesterday, August 28, to see one of its hosts, Toni Gonzaga, conduct the interview herself with Paul Soriano.

Looking a little nervous and more excited, Toni welcomed her real-life boyfriend onstage as the fans cheered.

Earlier, it was revealed by the showbiz talk show that Paul might pop a question for Toni after her usual questions.

But before all that, a little was revealed about the director.

Paul's dad, director Jeric Soriano—thru a VTR presentation—described his son this unique and heartwarming way:

"He'll listen not only to your words, but also to your heart.

"What makes Paul happy is when he sees his mother and me happy.

"Paul will drop everything if you need him and his help. He will be there for you.

"He totally wants your life to be good and well. Whatever he can do for you to achieve that, he will do that for you.

"That's my son Paul."

BEING THERE. After the VTR special, it was time for Toni to interview her boyfriend one-on-one.

Is it really true that he'll do everything to make his friends and family happy?

"Of course," Paul began. "I love my family. I'll do everything for them and they'll do everything for me."

"I think I'm part of the family as well," mused Toni amidst the crowd's cheerful approval.

"Honestly, na-touch ako kasi lahat ng sinabi sa VTR, you're all that and more.

"Kung alam lang nila, your dad, when he said that you don't just listen to my words, you also listen carefully to my heart.

"There are times when I don't have to say anything. Alam mo na agad... you will never stop making me happy pag nakita mo na malungkot ako.

"Hindi lang siya ganoong tao sa relasyon. Kahit sa magulang niya at kaibigan niya, he will drop everything just to make them happy.

"He'll put the happiness of other people first."

After this outspoken sentimental introduction on Paul, Toni asked him, "Bakit ka ba ganoon? Masyado kang mabait?"
