Family Secrets Revealed

While we watch soap operas for the drama, we often empathize with the underdog and cheer on whenever the lead character is able to traverse all the obstacles. The audience always loves to see how the rich crumble in these telenovelas. In the case of this wealthy clan, their lives are intertwined with events that can rival the best of these soaps.

As a well-known and well-admired clan, this family has dealings that are not showy or clouded in doubt. In fact, the family is closely-knit, and never has there been a scandal that made the headlines of newspapers. Of course, amidst the fame and wealth, the scandals are well kept secrets. For example, one of its scions (OS) died of mysterious circumstances but stories of alleged drug overdose pervaded at that time. His untimely death abruptly ended a blooming and promising political career. While everyone thought this scion left the world quietly, rumors have it that he left a child.

While this child has now grown, hardly did this child enjoy any recognition from the alleged father’s family. The mother is an ordinary woman who does not seem to have any lineage nor wealth to boast of at that time. Hence, the family allegedly never acknowledged the situation, but never did they deny anything as the affair between the mother and OS was out in the open at that time.

Is this the family secret that would haunt the political career of another scion (AS) of the said family? For the superstitious, is this the family secret that will prevent AS from achieving the position that he has been aspiring? If indeed the child is that of the late scion, should not the family recognize the child’s existence?

Just a Slip

Manila Bulletin February 10, 2013 Issue

Anything can happen on live TV. Whether it's a slip of the tongue or a slip of the wardrobe, whether you're a professional or an amateur, expect the unexpected -- accidents are bound to happen.

In doing a live television show, there's no delay or filter to edit out the gaffes, which can make for exciting tv experience. It can also make for some pretty embarrassing moments. Lucky is this personality who recently experienced a wardrobe malfunction while in the middle of a serious discussion on a tv program -- the show was pre-taped.

Television Personality hosted a high profile TV Special. Prior to the incident, discussion was tough and serious with prominent guests debating on major current issues of the land. TP was perhaps so absorbed in the discussion, or she may have suddenly lost weight that she didn't feel her skirt slowly loosening up the grasp on her waist. Then whammy! TP almost froze in embarrassment as her skirt fell to her feet in full view of all her shocked guests!

People in the control room were doubly shocked at the spectacle of their boss, who cringed mercifully at such an unthinkable misfortune. When the dust had settled and they regained their composure, it was then that the staff went crazy and roared in uncontrollable  laughter!

To her credit, TP wore a nice pair of Spanx (a body-shaping undergarment) up to her knees. If that could soften the blow to her ego, then good for her. And she better thank her angels that the show was pre-taped. Otherwise, it could have been another 'award' for her.

Curiously, can someone please show us the unedited copy?

Insta Scoop: Cesar Montano Goes Ballistic!

Rekindle an Old Flame?

Since the movies started, love teams have always been part of the attraction. In the local scene, the success of a love team is making the fans believe that the sweetness of the couple is real. Once the fans are convinced, local producers know that what follows would be a box-office hit.

Although, not all successful onscreen love teams go beyond what the camera captures, other movie couples tried to be a couple. For example, this movie love team almost ended up together. The actor (BA) and the actress (SA) had a real relationship, but then, they were both not ready at that time, their relationship was turbulent and thus it was not a happy ending.

Years later, BA and SA reunited in a certain project. And just a few weeks ago, some hotel employees wondered what BA and SA were doing together in the said hotel. Did BA and SA just get together for old time's sake? Is it true that BA and SA checked in a suite? Did they rekindle what they had before? Your guess is as good as mine.

Reaching the Show's Boundary

Earlier this week, Fashion Pulis gave the scoop on the cancellation of two shows. Then, the announcement suddenly came that Sarah G. Live! will air its final episode tonight. What could be the other show (OS)?

When OS first aired, it changed the weekly viewing habit of the audience because of its innovative  way of presenting the topics. In such a short time, OS became a regular Sunday routine of the network's loyal followers.

As years passed, OS evolved to meet the demand of the times and the competition. Of course, the "constant changing of the guards" aka changing of mainstays added more interest to OS. Moreover, the reasons why they leave the show were as interesting as the other features. Then, the production was  successful in stirring the interest of the audience in introducing new talents for the show.

The cancellation of OS will definitely cause a stir among the viewers, and probably, even that of the competition's. It might even come as a surprise to its talents, who have yet to learn of this last major move of their network. However, these talents should not feel bad as after a show gets cancelled, who knows if there's something new for them from their network? If not, that is just what showbiz, and life is in general: Nothing is permanent, except change.

So, what show will replace OS? Let’s just say, the original is coming back to re-establish their reign on that timeslot.
