Did She Make a Mark?

As expected, DA's critics and cynics abound saying that an album for DA was just too much. Haters had a field day bashing her online, all belittling her efforts and wishing the album would be her last.
However, DA's defenders were quick to the rescue, saying that regardless of the intrigues, "DA is undoubtedly a talented actresss and performer and that she can definitely carry a tune."
Overheard that DA was passionate about exploring other avenues for her personal growth. Her friends were with her, and not a few of them supported her album launch. Needless to say, DA worked hard and was all over promoting her album.
Not long after, and to everyone's shock, DA's album turned gold! Observers could not believe how was that possible so soon after its release. The star herself became emotional after she was awarded the Gold Record Award for her debut album having sold more than 7,000 copies!
Soon after the dust has settled, it was learned that a company to which DA is an endorser bought tons of copies of the album to be distributed as perks to its thousands of dealers nationwide, smart uh! But to be fair to DA, she indeed can carry a tune.

The Gutierrez matriarch also aired her side regarding her treatment of Esther at the party when she asked the latter if she wanted to bring home some food. Annabelle says she never intended it as an insult nor a sign she looked down at Sarah's mom. “Hindi ko alam bakit may isyung ganun. Basta kami nagsaya sa party, nakita ko naman sila, akyat siya sa stage, nagpa-picture doon, nakita ko siya masaya naman siya. Yung pag-alok ko ng pagkain sa kanya hindi naman masama yun. Kasi number one kong ginagawa yun. Pag may party lagi akong may baon na Tupperware kasi gusto ko talaga lechon. Hindi ko naman sa kanya muna sinasabi, sa ibang bisita (din), 'Maraming mga tira sa catering. Masarap yung ulam. Gusto niyong mag-takeout?' lahat dun natutuwa, may kanya-kanyang takeout. Nasalubong ko dun si Esther, sabi ko, 'Esther merong maraming tirang pagkain sa catering. Gusto mo mag-takeout? Masarap yung chicken, ganyan ganyan.' Hindi siya kumibo. Hindi ko alam masama na pala loob niya. Tapos hindi naman tira-tira yung pinakain ko, tira-tira sa catering. Sabi ko bakit siya magagalit eh normal naman sa ating Pilipino yung ganun di ba na mag-takeout naman talaga?” she reveals.
Annabelle also says that during the day of Zion's party she showed no indication that she harbored any ill feelings towards them which was why they were all surprised to find out she posted her supposed frustrations on her social media account. “At saka hindi ko akalain na masama ang loob niya kasi after the party tumuloy pa siya sa bahay nila Richard. Nandun kaming lahat, nag-aabang kami sa palabas naming reality show. Hindi ko napansing galit siya sa akin kasi kumain pa siya sa bahay eh. Kumain pa siya sa bahay kasi si Ruffa maraming in-order na food after the party. So nakikain din siya tapos meron siyang kasamang dalawang bisita taga-Geneva. Wala kaming naramdaman buong pamilya na may galit siya sa amin. So nagulat kami the next day Monday, imbis ma-headline yung apo niya, siya yung na-headline. Siguro nga uhaw siya sa publicity. Bayaan mo na siya, nakatikim na siya ng headline, nakatikim na siya ng front page, pero dapat hindi niya ginagamit yung apo niya kasi araw ni Zion yun eh. Dapat hindi siya nakisawsaw sa gulo kasi dapat ang araw na yun araw ng apo niya,” she adds.
On the issue that she is getting unwarranted credit for taking care of baby Zion Annabelle says it is not important for her to be acknowledged as a grandmother. “Bakit ako makikisawsaw sa pag-alaga? Kung mahal niya ang apo niya dapat huwag na siya maninisi kasi ang sinisisi niya lagi kay Sarah bakit nabuntis. Hindi ka ba happy may Zion ka na? Hanggang ngayon lagi niyang sinasabi sa anak niya, 'Bakit ka nabuntis?' ako ay naawa kay Sarah kasi tumawag sa akin si Sarah at umiyak sa akin sa telepono, tumatawag sa akin alas-onse ng gabi nagsusumbong sa akin. Parang anak ko na rin si Sarah at umiyak na rin ako. Sabi ko, ''Day sabihin mo sa nanay mo tanggapin niya na wala ka na sa kanya. Bakit hindi niya matanggap yun? Ako natanggap ko na si Richard wala na sa akin, nasa iyo.' Ngayon sabi ko mahal ko naman si Zion, kinalimutan ko na lahat. Dapat siya kalimutan na rin niya lahat ang mga problemang ganyan,” she advises.
Contrary to speculation that the Lahbatis are banned from entering the Gutierrez household, Annabelle says their doors have always been open to Zion's relatives especially to his grandmother Esther. “Natutulog siya sa bahay ni Richard kaya! Pero once a week lang kaya hindi siya mahal ng bata kasi nakikita siya once a week lang. Ako kasi everyday ako nakikita at niluluto ko pa siya ng pagkain, ako pa ang nagsusubo sa bata. Kaya yung pag-alaga ko sa mga anak ko, ani yung anak ko di ba? Yung pag-alag ko sa kanila yun din ang ginawa ko kay Zion. Ako mismo nagpapaluto ng pagkain para sa kanya, hindi yung pagkain namin, may sarili siyang pagkain,” she admits.
As a parting message to Esther, the controversial stage mom-turned-reality star says she hopes that they can all move on from the issue for the sake of Zion. “Nagulat ako sa iyo 'Day. Kahapon sabi mo pina-stop mo yung interview ng asawa mo dahil mong kausapin na lang nag pamilya para matapos na. Tapusin mo ang sarili mo, hindi naman ako nakipag-away sa iyo eh. At ang pamilya ko tahimik wala kaming gulo, happy kami kay Zion, happy kami sa party.”
Annabelle also reiterates that she will never apologize to Esther because she did nothing wrong. “Anong ikakausap mo sa akin? Kaya gusto mo ako mag-sorry sabi mo satext mo na para magtigil ka mag-sorry ako sa iyo? 'Day, wala akong ipag-so-sorry sa iyo. Wala akong kasalanan, minahal ko ang anak mo, minahal ko ang apo mo, inalagaan ko silang dalawa, anong sorry ang gusto mong malaman sa akin? Wala. Kaya huwag ka na maghintay ng sorry, wala kang maririnig sa bunganga ko na mag-so-sorry ako sa iyo. Wala akong ginagawa, ikaw ang tumahimik na. Nakatikim ka ng publicity di ba? Tama na yan, sobra na yan. Bakit nung kaso ni Sarah nung araw hindi ka nakikiaalam? Akala ko matapang ka. Hindi ka na-headline, hindi ka nakialam. This time iba ang gusto mo, ginagamit mo ang apo mong si Zion. Alam mong sikat na sikat ang apo mo, gusto mo makisawsaw. Sorry na lang, hindi ako mag-so-sorry sa iyo. Mag-post ka ng mag-post, pag hindi ako makatiis, yung tini-text ko sa iyo kahapon ilalabas ko sa Twitter yun, tingnan ko lang.”

Financially Challenged

Many years ago, Distressed Personality DP was a very in demand artist. Here and abroad, DP's mass appeal was such that every show she mounted was sure to be a major hit. She owned her fame for years and was on top of her game. Her stardom was every artist's dream and envy.
But with the influx of younger and more talented artists, slowly, DP's stars began to dim. People were hardly watching her shows. She was no longer bankable. Soon projects hardly came by. DP came to a point where she had to accept offers for shows that were once beyond her dignity, like those with very low budget which also meant very small talent fees.
Yet amidst all that, she was still able to run a small business that kept her afloat but not stable enough to maintain her lifestyle - something that DP could not afford to lose. She just loved life and her fabulous friends.
Unfortunately, but predictably, DP became very desperate for money. For someone her age, she still looked good enough for some men. Not long after, DP was allegedly being seen frequently in the company of different men, mostly prominent personalities and politicians who were much older. Ever wonder how did she make money from that?
DP's new trade must have been really lucrative because she was at it for so long. It was reportedly the reason why she became more active in her social life - she wanted to be more visible so that she could meet more people. But things could only go so far. Not long after, she was no longer as in-demand. Suffice to say, she was having financial difficulties.
DP's financial state was just so bad that when she went to a gasoline station to gas up her vehicle, she was reportedly denied when she presented her petrol membership card. Turned out, her credit on her gasoline purchases was reportedly cut-off by the company after she incurred huge credits which she failed to pay even after repeated demands to settle the same. She freaked out when told that she could no longer use the said card.
Now there are reports that in order to survive, DP is just asking for money from her grown children. More often, she borrows money from an Ex-Relationship ER who is kind enough to just write off her loans. For a long time now, she hardly went out with friends if it will only entail expenses on her part.
Where did DP go wrong? Where did her savings go? With no money and career, where do we see DP going from hereon?

Expecting Shame Campaign, Bong Revilla's Wife to Snub PNoy’s SONA

Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado said this will be the second time she will not be attending Aquino's SONA, which is scheduled July 28 at the House of Representatives' complex in Quezon City.
"I have no intention of attending. This will be the second time...," she said in an interview on dzBB radio.
On Friday, Revilla was placed under detention at the Philippine National Police Custodial Center in Camp Crame, after he surrendered to the Sandiganbayan.
Revilla faces graft and plunder charges before the anti-graft court in connection with the multibillion-peso scam.
Mercado said she and Revilla had been victims of a shame campaign by Aquino, adding Aquino is "bound to do that" in his SONA.
"Oh yes. Naging biktima na kami ng maraming [pamamahiya] and he's bound to do that," she said when asked if she expects Aquino to mention Revilla's detention.
She added Aquino shamed her husband by telling people not to believe in "anting anting" and "agimat" during a speaking engagement in Cavite, Revilla's home province.
In his speech in February, the president said the electorate should not take their chances on “agimat” or “anting-anting (amulets)” – a statement that could be construed as referring to Bong Revilla and his family.
Last Independence Day, Mercado said Aquino took a dig at showbiz workers when he claimed in his speech that the country does not need to elect people who can deliver scripts or song and dance numbers.
"Hindi natin kailangan ng magaling bumigkas ng script, mahusay sumayaw, o kaya magaling kumanta," Aquino had said in his speech.
Revilla is a movie actor and television personality, while Mercado is a former actress and television host.
Meanwhile, Mercado said she continues to pray for "true justice," saying she believes there is "selective justice" under this administration.
"Naniniwala ako may selective justice talaga," she said.
