Her Graceless and Tacky Ways

As one of the busy talents in her network, Singer Emcee (SE) has been very visible these days. In other words, she has been swamped with so many commitments as a host, actress, and singer. As these activities demand much of her time, she has to decide which to prioritize.

The weekend demands much of the time of SE, and at one point, she could not attend the rehearsals for one of her weekly shows. Instead of cancelling her number, as she was unable to rehearse on her given schedule, she insisted on doing the number.

When she finally had the time to rehearse, she saw two other stunning actresses using the studio to practice their number. True to her form and divaesque attitude, she made the two leave. She told them they were already good dancers and that she had to run through her number. The two actresses had no choice but to adhere to the demand of SE.

Incidentally, are the overflowing commitments of SE a reason why she sometimes has lapses during her live show? At one time, she confidently said the wrong name of one of their guest despite the huge screen that correctly showed the name of the guest. It was good that this guest was witty enough to make the awkward situation into a comedy. Then, SE has been criticized for giving her opinion without really understanding the day’s issue.

Janet Lim Napoles Surrenders to President Aquino


Fugitive Janet Lim Napoles has surrendered to President Aquino at 9:40 this evening. PNoy has turned over Napoles to the custody of DILG Secretary Mar Roxas and the PNP Director General Alan Purisima.

The alleged brains of the pork barrel scam has been in hiding right after a warrant of arrest had been issued against her for charges of serious illegal detention from the alleged kidnapping of her cousin and former employee, Benhur Luy.

Earlier today, PNoy had put up a P10Million bounty for any information that would lead to Napoles arrest.

Napoles could have sensed danger in her life with the P10Million price tag put on her head.

Her lawyer, Atty. Lorna Kapunan denied knowing where her client was all the time that she was in hiding. However, on a radio interview a few minutes ago, Kapunan said that Napoles brother, Reynald Lim is also set to surrender.

Congresswoman Lani Mercado: I Can't Help Scholars Sans Pork Barrel

Actress and politician Lani Mercado-Revilla fears that lawmakers being stripped of their pork barrel funds might mean she can no longer give money to scholars and other people who approach her for help.

Mercado-Revilla, who represents the 2nd District of Cavite in the lower House, replied to people in a series of tweets that senators and congressmen use their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) for social assistance.

"I have to tell 7,000 scholars that without PDAF, I can't help them," she said.

"Nasa menu po ng senador at congressman ang educational assistance, medical assistance, at hospital assistance," she added.

"We give out scholarships to empower people. It is in our menu. Our constituents ask us for medical and burial assistance," she said.

The congresswoman, who is married to Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr., however said that her statement given to entertainment news site PEP was taken out of context.

She was earlier quoted as saying that "Sige, basta wag lang manghihingi ang mga tao sa amin."

"(Statement) taken at the wrong context," she said on Twitter. "Sorry you are taking me at the wrong context. Alam niyo na kung paano kami tumulong, PDAF or without PDAF."

Mercado-Revilla said details on her PDAF-funded projects are posted online in her Facebook account.

She also asked people to visit her district "to take a feel of what happens in the ground."

According to a Commission on Audit special report, her husband was among top 5 senators who used their pork barrel funds from 2007 to 2009.

Under Annex A of the COA report, Revilla requested use of his pork barrel eight times, with a total of P503.85 million.

Amid public outrage over the alleged misuse of billions of pesos of public funds, President Benigno Aquino has called for the abolition of the PDAF.

Aquino is instead proposing a system where lawmakers can still propose certain projects for their constituents but this time with several restrictions.

There will be a menu that proposed projects should conform with and allocation for the approved projects will now appear in the national budget or the General Appropriations Act as line item, starting in 2014.

Health services, scholarships, and livelihood projects are among projects that may still be allowed.

Kim Chiu Won't Watch OTJ Movie of Gerald Anderson

Kim Chiu said she has no plans of watching the acclaimed crime-thriller "On the Job (OTJ)," which was released Wednesday in theaters nationwide, explaining she has no interest in "hard action" movies.

The 23-year-old actress was asked on the matter shortly after a press conference held Tuesday night for her month-long starring stint in the weekend fantasy anthology "Wansapanataym."

On whether she is seeing "OTJ," Chiu said, "Ay, hindi po [ako manonood]. Hindi po ako mahilig sa hard action. [Gusto ko] feel-good, saya-sayahan."

Directed by Erik Matti and co-produced by Star Cinema and Reality Entertainment, "OTJ" stars Piolo Pascual, Gerald Anderson, Joel Torre and Joey Marquez.

Torre and Anderson portray inmates temporarily released from jail to become contract killers, while Pascual and Marquez are law enforcers assigned on their trail.

Anderon is Chiu's former boyfriend, having separated in 2010. While the former couple went on to co-star in a number of projects since then, Chiu reportedly cut her ties with the actor and her former best friend, actress Maja Salvador, early this year, when the two admitted having a relationship.

Ready but cautious

On Tuesday, Chiu said she is ready to enter a new relationship, but added she is "taking her time" when it comes to getting to know a potential partner.

"Darating din tayo diyan. Hindi naman kailangan sapilitan, kusa niyo pong malalaman kung sinuman po ang nagpapatibok ng puso ko. Hindi ko naman itatago, at tsaka na sa tamang edad na ako," she said.

Admitting she misses having a boyfriend, the actress nonetheless added, "It takes time know someone para tumanggal 'yung relationship. Kasi pag mabilisan, gano'n din, mabilisan, para ka lang nagpalit ng damit. 'Ay, ayoko na dito,' gano'n."

On the subject of her close relationship with on-screen leading man Xian Lim, who has openly expressed admiration for her, Chiu merely surmised they must be "exclusively" dating as they are not seeing other people for now.

"Thank you kasi nandiyan po siya para sa akin. Pero wala naman pong bakuran effect. Wala naman po, wala naman pong gano'n siguro," the actress said, when asked if she thinks her close ties with Lim may be discouraging to other potential suitors.

Noting the "fairy godmother" story of her "Wansapanataym" mini-series, Chiu was also asked if she has any wish when it comes to love.

She responded: "Huwag mo na i-wish, kasi minsan 'yung wish mo mali eh. Hayaan mo na 'yung destiny 'yung magsabi about love."
