Keep Connecting the Dots

Now it appears that the bottom has been finally brought out of the surface. It was alleged that while in the relationship, AM contracted STD - obviously courtesy of boyfriend AS. Alarmed, AM confronted, harsh words were exchanged, ergo the affair ended.
Fearing for a possible scandal, AM’s parents sent her abroad for treatment asap. Meanwhile, AS told his manager HM about the cause of his break-up with AM. HM was shocked and he, too, immediately brought his ward abroad to avoid malicious publicity. HM was so scared even he got himself treated.
When the dust has settled, HM was so mad like a headless chicken trying to figure out where AS could have gotten the disease. He tried hard recalling events, recounting those girls who have had flings with AS – who came ahead of whom, who was with whom at that time they were with AS, etc.
Finally, HM zeroed in on a possible suspect: a promiscuous actress PA, who was persistently running after AS. It would be recalled that it was this PA who followed AS to a provincial event but her plan was thwarted right then by the alert HM. Apart from fantasizing about AS, the very unstoppable PA also plays around with other men - among them an equally sexually active hunky actor HA who is everybody’s IT guy.
With all the characters involved in this maze, how will HM be able to pinpoint the culprit?! Indeed! What an insane puzzle to piece together!
Meanwhile, relentless AM is quietly seeing handsome television actor TA, whose loneliness AM is trying to heal while TA’s real girlfriend is so far away. Do we hear another STD story soon?
For AM: You don’t jump into the pool without getting wet, do you?

Agree or Disagree: Philippines Among Most Gay-Friendly in the World

The Philippines has earned its ranking as one of few gay-friendly countries in the world.
Of the 39 countries covered by a global survey, only 17 countries had majorities that accepted homosexuality, with the Philippines ranking at number 10 among the 17.
Despite its religiosity, the Philippines is one of the countries in the world where the level of public “acceptance” of homosexuals is high, according to the results of the survey.
The survey titled “The Global Divide on Homosexuality” conducted by the US-based Pew Research Center showed that 73 percent of adult Filipinos agreed with the statement that “homosexuality should be accepted by society,” up by nine percentage points from 2002.
The percentage of Filipinos who said society should not accept gays fell from 33 percent in 2002 to 26 percent this year, it added.
This high level of acceptance, which is comparable to that found in secular western Europe, is even higher than those found in Japan (54 percent), South Korea (39 percent) or the United States (60 percent), where some states allow gay marriage.
“Brazilians and Filipinos are considerably more tolerant of homosexuality than their countries’ relatively high levels of religiosity would suggest,” the Pew survey report said.
The Philippines bucked the trend found in the survey showing that gays are mostly accepted in rich and secularized countries.
“The survey … finds that acceptance of homosexuality is particularly widespread in countries where religion is less central in people’s lives. These are also among the richest countries in the world,” the Pew report said.
“In contrast, in poorer countries with high levels of religiosity, few believe homosexuality should be accepted by society,” it added.
Religiosity scale
The Philippines is said to be one of the most religious countries in the world and almost a third of its population lives below the poverty line. In the survey’s “religiosity scale” where a score of “3” was the most religious, the Philippines almost got 2.5.
“Age is also a factor in several countries, with younger respondents offering far more tolerant views than older ones,” the survey report said.
And while gender differences are not prevalent, in those countries where they are, women are consistently more accepting of homosexuality than men,” it added.
In the Philippines, 78 percent of those aged 18-29 who were interviewed said gays should be accepted, 71 percent for those aged 30-49, and 68 percent for those 50 years old and above, according to the survey.
The report also showed that of the eight countries surveyed in the Asia-Pacific region, the Philippines had the second highest acceptance rate next to Australia’s 79 percent.
“In the Asia-Pacific region, where views of homosexuality are mostly negative, more than seven in 10 in Australia and the Philippines say homosexuality should be accepted by society,” the report said.
In contrast, only three percent of people in neighboring Indonesia, nine percent in Malaysia and 21 percent in China said homosexuality should be accepted, the report added.
Not impressed
However, Filipino gay groups were not impressed by the survey results.
When asked if the gay community in the Philippines felt accepted, Jonas Bagas, executive director of the TLF Share Collective, said: “Hardly.”
“I think that the study only reflects the perceived acceptance of the LGBT community based on the high visibility of gay entertainers. It’s acceptance [that is] contingent on how you fit the acceptable stereotype—the gay entertainer, the creative, talented bakla, the lesbian security guard,” Bagas said.
“Once you go outside these stereotypes, that’s when you encounter rejection,” he added.
Bagas said a Filipino student in a lesbian relationship faces higher probability of getting kicked out of her school than a student in a heterosexual relationship.
“We still have strong biases against gay sex, which for many is still deemed immoral and unnatural. This attitude fosters inequality in our laws, in education, healthcare and even within the family,” Bagas said.
The Pew report said those who conducted the survey had face-to-face interviews with 804 Filipinos aged 18 and above from March 10 to April 3 this year. The interviews were conducted in Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilonggo, Ilocano and Bicolano.
The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percent.

A photo from the wedding was also posted in the official Instagram account of ABS-CBN’s talent management arm Star Magic.
ABS-CBN producer Garlic Garcia was also at the event who posted parts of the vows of Poon and Reyes real-time on Twitter.
The 31-year-old "ASAP" mainstay confirmed his engagement to Reyes in April.
In an interview last month, Poon also said they are planning to have a small private wedding this year.
Poon had also said they want to invite only their family and closest friends in their wedding in Manila.
It was in 2010 when Poon admitted that he is going out with Reyes.

Madly Colorful

CA’s intriguing personality helped her in a way that people still get drawn to her. She may have been in and out - in long or short hiatus – yet her mark in the industry continues to be respected and acknowledged. Apart from her unquestionable talent, one of her aces is perhaps her beauty.
To her credit, in spite of her strong personality, CA’s enduring beauty never ceases to attract men. It is a given that despite her age, she had never succumbed to the tempting call of major beauty enhancements. To this day, she can proudly say that hers is still a ‘natural’ beauty - hardly seen in most celebrities of late. This could have been one of the reasons why the likes of deep actor DA is smitten by her.
Earlier on, it was reported that DA pursued her relentlessly. CA became the envy of many – who can refuse someone like DA? Yet CA was non-committal. Despite DA’s many visits to her, meeting secretly at a common friend’s house – still CA could not be moved.
People privy to her surmised it was pretty actor PA who occupied that solid space in CA’s heart. However, there has been a different turn lately. Reportedly, DA’s efforts have not gone to waste – CA is now softening up on DA – bit by bit. There are rumors and sightings of the two together getting more frequent by the day.
It is not hard to understand why DA has fallen for CA, and vice versa. Both have many things in common: maturity, professionalism, thespians. Surely the age factor is no match. Get the drift?
“We reach across the gap and against all odds, against all logic, we touch.”

More Serious Acting, Please
Image courtesy of www.leah1979.blogspot.com
What becomes of actors who give less than what is expected of them and
seem not to hone their skills further? Well, as far as I have observed
they either sell-out or exit the klieg lights in a most ungraceful
manner.
Hopefully, charming actor CA will not meet this unfortunate end. As one of the freshest faces-- he's only a couple of years shy of celebrating his 1st decade in the business, it would be a shame to watch him leave so soon, especially after the slew of inopportune incidents while taping for his new soap-opera.
CA was never really acclaimed as an actor, but with his dashing looks and mass-appeal, he seems to get by. But apparently, banking on one's visual appeal won't be enough to survive the ever-competitive world of primetime soaps. Clearly, it requires intense skill to keep up with the demands of the staff, the crew and creative heads.
For quite sometime now, CA has been experiencing constant verbal tirades from the director on the set for his consistent lousy performances. That's a constant struggle that CA has been enduring - apart from snide remarks from irate star IS, who is playing opposite him.
IS complained a lot about CA's acting all the time. What's strange is that IS has recently been interviewed about working with CA, to whom she sang high praises for. Such hypocrisy!
People will do anything for good publicity, it appears.
Nobody wants to see a falling star. If CA wants to stay in this industry, he must step it up and deliver, against all odds.

Poll: Team Charice vs Team Mommy Raquel
Image courtesy of www.charicemania.com
"Why does she have to apologize to us when she knows that we already knew that she's a lesbian a long time ago?"
Speaking in tagalog, that was the statement made by Charice Pempengco's mother, Raquel at a press conference shown on tv earlier today. The statement was in answer to her daughter, Charice's tv interview a week ago.
Raquel further added that she and her son, Carl understand Charice's situation, and she never took it against her daughter -- as she herself was once a lesbian before she got married and gave birth to Charice. The only difference is that she made a choice to start a family of her own over satisfying and giving in to her sexual preference.
Raquel's brave statement above on her lesbianism shocked those who were present in the presscon and the audience watching on tv.
From the interview, it was obvious that Raquel was hurting by the turn of events that had hounded them as a family for so long since speculations came out about her daughter Charice’s being a lesbian.
She said that she can take her daughter for what she is, but one thing that she can never accept is Charice's getting into a relationship with an Allysa Quijano – her daughter’s alleged live-in partner.
