"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."

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..."

Jennylyn Mercado (in photo, with son Alex Jazz) on issue linking her to married men: "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. 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. Saka wala po talaga sa ugali ko ang ganun na papatol sa may pamilya, nakakasira ng dignidad."

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.
