It’s Now Dawning on Her

Image courtesy of www.kickstarter.com

Years ago, Veteran Actress VA chose to leave showbiz, got married and lived abroad with her husband. After a few years, an offer came for her to do a comeback project. She was surprised and was very thankful to the network and her fans for their overwhelming support.

One project led to another, and before she knew it, she was staying longer in the country. As months passed, VA got more in-demand as she was also doing projects for another network.
As such, her schedules got more and more erratic as she kept accepting projects more than she could handle.

There were reported instances that during tapings, VA would often came in late many times, reasoning out that she lacked sleep. Consequently, the patience of VA’s co-stars had been put to a test for several times. Yet in situations like those, VA reportedly didn’t even apologize to them and the staff. She was called unprofessional and a prima-donna.

On most taping days of her latest series, VA would be habitually late again, often giving traffic as excuses, saying that she had yet to get adjusted to traffic. And whenever she arrived, she wanted that her scenes be shot ahead so she could go home as she had been seeing her family less and less. Ultimately, her co-stars’ patience were wearing thin which at one time even led to a verbal tussle.

Some insiders concluded that VA acted such as she felt like she was a privileged star, someone who can do away with everything. Turned out she was allegedly romantically linked to a network boss who would tolerate her hook, line and sinker.

The latest casualty of her bitchiness happened to be the show’s Production Head PH himself who had been giving VA maximum tolerance for the longest time.

The incident happened when VA reportedly told PH not to worry too much about delayed tapings. In her words, “Okay lang yan, wala naman tayong audience eh.”

This floored PH and shot back at VA and said that no matter what, even if they don’t have the audience, they cannot compromise!

PH got so pissed that he swore never to work with VA again. That was the last straw.

Obviously, too much of a good thing doesn’t do VA good. From the way she is shooting herself in the foot, looks like it maybe leading her back to where she came from, doesn’t she ever feel it?

Businessman Cedric Lee and his accomplice accused of allegedly mauling actor TV-host Vhong Navarro was arrested Saturday morning in Dolores, Samar, authorities said.

Lee and Simeon Palma alias Zimmer Raz will be brought to NBI headquarters in Manila, according to Director Virgilio Mendez.

The arrest was made by combined elements from the Eastern Visayas Regional Office (Evro)and the Samar District Office (Samdo) in coordination with provincial police, said Justice Secretary Leila de Lima in a text message to reporters.

Lee and Palma were charged with serious illegal detention, along with Lee’s sister Bernice, model Deniece Cornejo and several others after they allegedly tried to frame the actor-host for rape in January.

Bryan Castillo, more popularly known as the "Pride of Pembo," took home P1 million as he was named the grand winner of the reality TV series "The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition: Doubles" on Saturday.

During the grand finale, it was revealed that the 22-year-old lost the highest weight percentage of all four finalists, clocking in at a total of 52.56%, nearly 2% higher than the show's runner-up, Kayen Lazaro.

Castillo now weighs 139 pounds, after losing 154 pounds since he entered the Biggest Loser camp, nearly a year ago.

He took home the grand cash prize, along with a lifetime gym membership from Gold's Gym, Whirlpool appliances, P100,000 worth of sporting goods from Toby's Sports, and a Fruitas Franchise.

Castillo entered the Biggest Loser camp alongside her sister, Ikya, and were dubbed team Magkapatid.

Ikya, however, was booted out of a final four spot when she was eliminated after the show's eleventh competitive weigh-in.

As the program's first runner-up, Lazaro, who lost a total weight percentage of 50.50%, took home P500,000, Whirlpool appliances and a one year gym membership from Gold's Gym.

Francis Asis and 45-year-old Osie Nebreja were named second runner-up and third runner-up, respectively but their cash prizes were doubled because both, who were members of the same team, made it to the final four.

Asis ended up taking home P600,000, while Nebreja, who lost 133 pounds, got P400,000.

Watch out! The YouTube star and all-around performer is going for gold in the US talent competition

Gabriel Valenciano is surely following in his father's footsteps.

The young performer has been asked to continue on the show for this year's season of America's Got Talent.

When he heard about the auditions for the show, he queued up like everyone else and went through the arduous audition process, which meant cattle calls and long lines. But with his undeniable talent and energy, he persevered.

Watch the trailer for the show below and support our very own when the show airs!


The youngest son of Gary Valenciano and Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, Gab has achieved global online hits for his series of "Super Selfie" videos on YouTube. He initially posted only on Instragam, which allows posting video clips up to 15 seconds. With the coaxing of Gab's friend, YouTube partner Fil-Am singer/composer AJ Rafael, he opened up his own YouTube Channel just a few months ago.

When I asked Gab to describe why he names his videos "Super Selfie," he says "I shoot, edit, make the music and star in it!"

He certainly is the definition of a new media artist because he is able to utilize technology and create his own platform to showcase his talents. And the best part about his videos is that he doesn't take himself too seriously in any of them. His hilarious dance moves and upbeat energy make all his super selfies fun, particularly with his deadpan expression.

Is the Actress Pregnant?

Image courtesy of www.my.vanderbilt.edu

If rumors are to be believed, Actress and Model AM is about to face another major challenge in her life.

Not too long ago, AM was nursing a broken heart, grieving over a Loved One LO. From the start, her relationship with LO had been frowned at by people close to their hearts who believe that both AM and LO just don’t connect – in more ways than one.

It was both pain and joy for the couple to sustain the relationship, especially for AM who had to struggle more. In the beginning, people witnessed how they stood their ground. But more thumping and pounding later, the ground had given up.

Those privy to AM and LO believed that they might have realized the futility of their efforts to prove themselves. They felt that they were not going anywhere. Then one day, the couple just woke up wanting to cut their ties. And so they did.

But hold on - there’s something more than meets the eye. According to the grapevine, AM is pregnant! If this were true, who could be the father?

For their friends who know LO, such was not a welcome one for him. He knew that staying with AM a little longer would do him more harm than good. Uh oh.
Could her pregnancy be the reason why lately, AM is not as fabulous in her choice of outfits?

Don’t ask for more clues that my lips are burning to reveal. Therefore, your guess should be as good as mine.

Wack Wack Golf Club Suspends Mar Roxas for 2 Months Over April 6 'Meltdown'

The board of the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club has voted to suspend for two months Interior Secretary Mar Roxas over the April 6 incident where he was accused of giving Club employees a tongue-lashing over green fees he supposedly did not want to pay.

The board met last Tuesday to deliberate on the report of the club's membership committee, which earlier investigated the matter after it was mentioned in a newspaper column of broadcast journalist Arnold Clavio.

The membership committee’s report is only recommendatory, and under usual practice, the Board either sets it aside, upholds it entirely or affirms it with some modification. In the Roxas case, four of the eight board members present (one was absent) voted to impose the two-month suspension; one voted for a mere reprimand; and three abstained.

The Club is set to issue an official announcement of the decision by Friday, said InterAksyon.com sources.

The decision to suspend Roxas was, according to sources, based largely on precedents "where the circumstances were very similar" and thus the same penalty was imposed.

The incident report received earlier by the club’s membership committee showed that at around noon of April 6, Roxas went to the club registration office and got upset when an employee asked him to pay a P5,100 green fee for a guest he invited for a lesson with golf pro Rey Pagunsan.

Roxas allegedly lost his cool and started shouting at the employees, and berated them with cuss words.

When another employee suggested they call the club’s manager and not the president so someone could explain the rules to Roxas, the DILG chief allegedly shouted back: “T--------------ina!. Walang presi-presidente sa akin!” “Walang bawal bawal sa akin.”

The Club’s president is Philip Ella Juico, the husband of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Chairman Margie Juico.

While teeing off, the report said, another employee approached Roxas and asked for the green fee receipts, but he allegedly shouted again.

Roxas denied the accusation and said there was a miscommunication on the new policy imposed by the Club. He insisted he never berated nor cussed anyone at the time.

She is Everyone’s Girl

Image courtesy of www.roshniwritenow.blogspot.com

News Gatherer NG is so ever relentless in her pursuit of any guy she finds desirable. NG’s reputation has given her not-so-pleasant labels from the public who are privy to her activities. Among others, she loves to be in the limelight and be the center of attention feeling like a celebrity that she is tasked to interview.

With regards to men, NG is allegedly everywhere - been there, done that - so to speak. If she likes him, then all systems go. Nothing is impossible – just like her latest conquest.

Heard from the grapevine that the young Son of a controversial Couple SC is now the apple of NG’s eyes. One may ask how did NG meet SC? NG’s job is the key. She often interviewed SC when his relationship with his Former Girl FG was still hot. In the process, she got closer and comfortable with SC. They texted each other, even becoming a shoulder to cry on at times, with NG telling SC to call her so they can talk about his love problems.

One night, SC called NG and they went out. FG allegedly learned about it and she was so pissed. To avenge, she dated a deejay thinking SC would get jealous but he did not. One thing led to another, then both called it quits.

Now that SC is free, the opportunity to mingle seemed great for him and NG. Reportedly, the two are now seeing each other often. Could this be the reason why NG is often teased as ‘blooming’ by friends?

One day, SC’s mother was surprised to see NG in his condo unit. But she soon regained her composure and did not bother - realizing that it’s better that way so SC can forget and not get back to FG anymore.

Second Case of Potential Child Sex Abuse Emerges at Prestigious International School

A second case of potential child abuse has emerged at the prestigious Jakarta International School, further fuelling an already heated public debate about sex abuse in Indonesia.

On Wednesday, the parents of a six-year-old student reported an alleged attack or attempted attack in the school toilets to Indonesia’s child protection agency, KPAI, who immediately informed the local media.

KPAI head Erlinda, said medical examinations had been carried out on the alleged new victim, but the results were not yet available.

The new allegation came as the school was already reeling from the rape in February and March of a five-year-old pre-school student by contract cleaners, also in the school toilets.

It was also revealed this week that the American Federal Bureau of Investigations has launched an unrelated investigation into a former teacher at the school, William Vahey, who killed himself in March after photographs emerged of him molesting 90 or more drugged and unconscious adolescent boys since 2008. None of those attacks are alleged to have occurred at JIS, but Vahey taught at the school between 1992 and 2002 while his wife, Jean, was deputy principal.

The news about a school most Indonesians view as an exclusive western enclave have prompted enormous media interest and discussion about the rarely raised issue of child sexual abuse.

JIS head of school Tim Carr said on Thursday that the initial sex assault was an “incredible tragedy” for the family and the school community.

Speaking at a forum on child sex abuse alongside KPAI chief Erlinda in Jakarta on Tuesday, Mr Carr acknowledged that the recent events and media coverage had damaged the school’s reputation, and that the subsequent move by the Ministry of Education to threaten to close the preschool over an unrelated licensing issue was “adding some salt to the wounds”.

He acknowledged that the school had initially been too slow to provide information to the media, but he also criticised journalists who he said had named the abused boy, got facts wrong and displayed an “appalling lack of journalistic integrity”. Reporters had approached young students outside the school gates and “badgered” them into giving interviews, he said, which had “done nothing but compound the trauma”.

Erlinda defended the local media, saying they had “reacted this way because … the school didn’t allow them inside,” to “investigate” the story.

Mr Carr said he hoped that “from here on” the school would have a “very positive and helpful relationship” with KPAI. But he subsequently grew angry that Erlinda was discussing details of the alleged second case at the public forum.

“All of this should be treated with the utmost confidentiality … We should not be learning about this sort of thing in the media straight away. Why did that happen? Who told the media about this? Why did I learn about it that way? This is ridiculous,” he said.

Child psychologist Seto Mulyadi said child sex assault was a large and under-recognised problem which was often “taken lightly” in Indonesia. About 2000 cases of child sex abuse were reported in the last 12 months in Indonesia, but he said it was an “iceberg phenomenon”.

Disclosure: The author has two children attending the Jakarta International School.
