For the longest time, things seem to be silent from the camp of Rumored Bisexual actor RB. Although RB is so hot and desirable, he is not the type to flaunt his physical assets mindlessly. Among his colleagues, RB belongs to the very few who are level-headed and decent enough to ever get involved in scandals.

Only recently, when he went abroad for some personal matters, RB met a Long-time Buddy LB who invited RB to stay in the flag throughout the duration of his visit.

It was then that RB met one of the friends of LB, a Hot Girl HG, whom RB got very attracted to. Throughout RB’s stay, he would strike small conversations with HG as he was really trying to get intimate with her.

One night as RB was a little bit tipsy, he tried to make advances on HG. Allegedly, he was so horny and was very desperate to seal the deal with HG. Unfortunately, HG was a bitch and would not relent. On the other hand, RB was reportedly already acting like he was mad for her.

Apparently, HG was doing it on purpose to make RB mad like a dog. Turned out, RB was a victim of "blue-balling,“ a practice done by girls to make fun and torture men who drool over them. RB got naked but HG walked out of the flat. Yet HG was impressed to have seen what could be RB’s proudest asset – his giftedness.

Noting Some Media Entities

Date Published: August 26, 2013

The most explosive scandal to ever hit the government had unleashed a number of names in politics for the most part. Most notable names are those that have been controversial ever since – and we know them all by now. But there are other names that have yet to hit the headlines. And appalling as it sounds, these names belong to popular media figures.

Expectedly, the scam queen SQ doesn’t deal with just any media figure MF. MF’s have to be popular and are “respected” names for greater impact and mileage. These MF’s that are reportedly in cahoots with SQ are names that the public and their followers have presumed to be “spotless” and are classified as media bigwigs belonging to major networks. Let’s have them all – one by one.

Media woman MW is allegedly linked to SQ through a relative who once worked directly with SQ. Being friends with SQ, MW interacted with SQ on several occasions, been gifted with some pieces of expensive jewelry, watches and branded bags. That explains why SQ enjoys precious airtime during interactions with MW.

Like MW, her colleague HC is also enjoying the perks of being in the good graces of SQ. But unlike MW, HC doesn’t go for gifts (in kind), as he would rather prefer cash. HC’s image had been tainted decades ago when he was at his career peak even beefore he became a public big shot.

Another media woman AM who is often visible in charity events is also among those in SQ’s long list of media personalities/beneficiaries. Reportedly, AM gets expensive and branded bags, too. Unlike MW, she doesn’t go for pieces of jewelry but would instead ask for giant donations for the foundation close to her heart.

AM’s close friend and colleague AF, on the other hand has allegedly already received units of the classic and priciest European cars from SQ. The very prominent AF pictures himself as incorruptible and a fearless and tireless “Mr. Expose” guy in his network.

And you thought that media recipients of SQ’s largesse are limited to those doing hardcore news? Better think twice because a big man BM doing showbiz news is reportedly on the take, too. From the source, the amount is reportedly Php30,000 paid on a monthly basis. Don’t look now, but it looks like that SQ pays anyone that moves.

Mike Enriquez, Korina Sanchez Denies Receiving ‘Pork’ Cut

GMA broadcaster and consultant for Radio Operations Mike Enriquez on Sunday denied any involvement in the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam that allegedly siphoned billions of pesos in government funds into the pockets of public officials and other individuals.

“Magkahalong galit at lungkot [ang nararamdaman ko.] Hindi totoo yun,” Enriquez said in an interview that was aired on GMA News TV’s Balitanghali.

“Bakit gagawin ito sa isang katulad ko, na wala namang ginagawa? Isa lang akong anchorman, isang mamamahayag lang na walang ginagawa,” he added.

Enriquez’ denial came after the Philippine Daily Inquirer published a report saying Benhur Luy, the primary whistleblower in the pork barrel scam, has a list of media workers who also received a cut from the stolen funds.

According to the Inquirer, the list was part of Luy's files, which were on a hard disk that was brought to the newspaper's offices by Luy's parents on April 27, 2013—more than one year ago.

Luy is currently seeking immunity after alleged pork scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles applied to turn state witness.

Enriquez questions list

The report said that Enriquez in 2004 received P50,000 as a “birthday gift” from Napoles. It added that a certain Mon Arroyo, a former television director, received the money for Enriquez.

But while he admitted that he knows Arroyo, Enriquez said he has never benefited from the scam. He added that he hasn’t seen Arroyo in decades.

Enriquez also questioned the authenticity of Luy's list, saying it was unsigned.

“Alam kong di yun totoo, [dahil] walang pirma. Sabi nila nasa file daw, pero walang pirma. Pag walang pirma [ang affidavit,] madaling magdagdag o magbawas. Pwede ako magsulat sa kahit anong napkin tapos sabihin kong listahan yun,” he said.

In a statement from Enriquez published by the Inquirer, the veteran newscaster said he abides by GMA’s strict code of ethics.

“People who know me personally and those whom I associate with professionally know very well that both my personal and professional conduct is in strict adherence to the GMA code of ethics and to the values of hard and honest work, decent living and service to God and country,” the statement said.

In a statement released Sunday afternoon, GMA Network said it does not have any reason to doubt Enriquez's statements.

"Mr. Enriquez has always adhered to the high level of professionalism required by GMA and it stands by him in the face of these baseless charges," it said.

Mon Arroyo

In an unsigned affidavit emailed to GMA News Online and vetted by GMA Network’s legal team, Arroyo said he met Napoles between the years 2003 and 2004.

He denied receiving any money from the pork scam, either for himself or for the media personalities mentioned by Luy. However, he did admit to working with Napoles as a consultant.

“I did not receive any money other than my consultancy fees. I did not receive any money for and in behalf of any other person,” Arroyo said, adding that he stopped working with the Napoleses when no project materialized after a year.

“After about a year, I ended my consultancy with JLN Inc., since there was no entertainment projects that was launched. From [that] time on, I had no further dealings with Jenny Napoles, Ben-Hur Luy [sic] or JLN, Inc,” he said.

According to Arroyo, when they met, Napoles initially wanted to engage his services for several planned entertainment projects.

“Sometime around 2003-2004 I was brought to Discovery Suites and I was introduced by Mr. Anthony Dequina to Ms. Janet Lim Napoles, who introduced herself by her nickname 'Jenny'. During our initial meeting I was told by her that her corporation JLN inc., would have entertainment projects soon and that he was interested to retain my services,” he said in his affidavit.

Arroyo also said it was Luy who was in charge of paying him his consultant fees.

“I was retained as a consultant for JLN Inc. entertainment projects. As a consultant, I came to know a certain Ben-Hur Luy who was responsible for disbursing our consultant fees,” he said.

Korina denies involvement

Other than Enriquez, ABS-CBN news anchor Korina Sanchez was also named in the report as having received a P50,000 cash gift through Arroyo.

In a statement published in full by the Inquirer, Sanchez, who is also the wife of Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, denied any involvement in the scam.

“I am astounded to learn that I was supposed to have received a birthday gift from her one time 10 years ago in 2004. This never happened. I did not receive any such gift, in cash or kind, from Ms Napoles or her company nor through emissaries then and up to now,” she said, adding that she only met members of the Napoles family in an interview in connection with the PDAF scam.

Sanchez admitting to knowing Arroyo, but added that she has not seen him for more than a decade.

“I know a Mon Arroyo who is an ex-husband of a high school classmate but I have not seen nor spoken nor heard of this person since he and my friend separated more than 10 years ago,” she said.

Other names on the list

The report also named radio personalities Deo Macalma, Rey Pacheco and DJ Bon Vivar and hinted that another media personality collected more than P2 million from officials of the National Agribusiness Corporation. However, the paper refused to name him for lack of documentary evidence.

GMA News is trying to reach the other broadcasters named on Luy's list for comment.

Maegan Aguilar Slams Dad

Source: www.entertainment.inquirer.net

When singer Freddie Aguilar got embroiled in a controversy last October after announcing that he was marrying a 17-year-old girl, his daughter (and fellow singer) Maegan Aguilar swiftly took up the cudgels for him.

She denounced all her dad’s detractors and came to his defense in my column back then.

Now Maegan is singing a different tune.

Seems she is over and done with being the “Anak” of Ka Freddie. Since she’s my “soul sister,” my heart goes out to her.

But in the spirit of fairness, of course, I will also get her father’s side on this burning issue.

I wish I had a magic wand to make everything okay between Maegan and her dad. But it looks like the domestic front has turned into a battlefront.

What I know

If there’s one thing that I learned from being a parent, it’s that I should not be too much of a mother to be a friend to my kids. And, as a daughter, I learned that since our parents are old, they cannot bend as much so we should be the ones to reach out, even if it hurts sometimes.

Hopefully, the term “Anak” won’t be just the title of Freddie’s timeless hit henceforth, but remain a term of endearment for Maegan, if and when they decide to patch things up and let family prevail.

Here’s Maegan’s heart-wrenching story:

“My dad threw me out of his house along with my partner Ali and my two daughters (Anaya Jaira and Mahi Vae) on May 12 which was also the sixth-month birth anniversary of Mahi.

Rotten veggies

“He got mad because the vegetables that he kept in the refrigerator got rotten. I told him I did not touch the veggies because I knew he would get upset.

“He also flared up because I hadn’t paid the P1,500 I borrowed from him. I used the money to buy diapers and milk for Mahi.

“I get only P4,000 as salary in [the bar] Ka Freddie’s Tomas Morato. Then he gets mad that we [are] always cash-strapped. It’s his fault. I am underpaid.

“But when it [concerns] the family of his young wife … he sends them P9,000 weekly even if they don’t need the money. Me, all I got were hurtful words.

“My family and I are now staying with a bandmate until we find a place of our own. Knowing my dad, he will claim that I ran away. But why would I endanger the lives of my kids, just because of my pride?

“He just threw us out—his daughter and grandkids—to live in the streets.

“I’m cutting my ties with my Tatay from now on. Anyway, he already has a new family. Truth is, Freddie is a selfish man. I’m done covering up for him.

“For him, all that I’ve done amounts to nothing. I ask all music fans to stop supporting Freddie Aguilar and stop going to [his bar] Ka Freddie’s. His earnings will just go to his young wife and her family.

“Hire and support us instead. My brothers Jonan, Jeriko and I need to be free from the claws of our father.

“I have so much more to expose. Now that I’ve decided to cut ties from him, I will tell the whole truth.

“He is a bad man and a negligent father. I had an awful childhood. Not any one of us, his children, did well in show business because he did everything to derail our careers. We lack confidence because he wanted us to fail, so that we would be forever at his mercy.

“I always defended him … even if I got harassed by DOMs (dirty old men) because my father married a minor. I took everything in, out of blind loyalty.

“And he threw us out of the house just because of rotten vegetables. What kind of a father and grandfather is he? Ibang klase siya.

Nanny conspiracy

“On May 17, his wife’s younger sister somehow convinced our nannies to abandon us and return to their house. They wanted me to have a hard time and give up. He wanted me to leave my kids in his house so he could claim that I’m an unfit mother.

“I think he knew that I would speak to the media, so he wants to manipulate the situation and make it appear that he’s the perfect father.

“I’m appealing to Gabriela and our Muslim brothers and sisters to stop supporting Freddie Aguilar. I need help in this fight. Someone has to stand up to him and tell him that he’s wrong.

“He’s been wrong ever since he left my mother 17 years ago.

“My past statement of support for my father’s marriage to a young girl was a complete lie. I was never in favor [of that]. I got hurt when he married her without telling me or other family members.

“All he thinks about is himself. He’s the only one who matters in this world. He would often tell us that we were worth nothing because we were not the ones who composed the song ‘Anak.’

“I was mentally and emotionally damaged in his house. I will never return, even if he threatens to have me killed.

“To top it off, he has a one-year-old daughter in Pangasinan. We have a half-sister that he hid from us because it would be yet another issue against him.

“I pity my one-year-old sister and her mom. They were also clueless about my dad’s plan to marry the under-aged girl. They were shocked. They got harassed by their neighbors because of what happened. They called my half-sister’s mom all sorts of bad names.

“The kid won’t even get a birthday celebration this year because his young wife won’t allow it. She is brain-washing my dad. They want to control my dad and his money.

“My dad lets her get away with it, poisoning his mind. Is it hard to see that all she wants is his money? He’s 61 years old.”

Just a Celebration Gone Bad!

Image courtesy of www.courtjlee.com

At a big event recently, several Network Executives NE were billeted in one part of the hotel. While the party was ongoing, something more exciting was also happening in this particular area of the hotel.

Reportedly, loud noises were heard, sounding like a door being kicked repeatedly. Turned out, the kicking was from the very Enraged Partner EP of one of the network executives, NE1.

EP was so mad, shouting expletives while kicking the hotel room door of NE1 repeatedly. EP's alleged words were: “Di na kayo marunong mahiya!”

It appeared that inside NE1's room was one of the network's Hot Actors HA. It was learned later on that one of the colleagues of EP, NB2, was the one who alerted and told EP about NE1's guest.

After the dust had settled, EP, probably exhausted from all the shouting, decided to leave the area. It was only at this point when a witness saw HA hurriedly got out of NE1's room while trying to button his shirt.

NE1 and HA should thank their lucky stars that the rage happened while the party was ongoing - or the damage would have been incalculable. Their colleagues and other guests were all at the party, leaving the rooms in that area practically empty.

Actually, NE1 and HA were also at the party, earlier - but both probably thought of it as a perfect time to sneak their way out to have some “private time” together.

Rxandy Capinpin's Official Statement

I always say to my students: To have a proper portfolio, you need to get a professional model. To get a professional model, you need to pay them up.

I love my job, as a fashion photographer and an instructor, it allows me to push my creativity beyond its limit, realize concepts no matter how unconventional other may deem them to be and above all it gave me an opportunity to meet amazing people who shares the same passion.

It is thru my job that i met Jeremy in a collaboration shoot we did a year ago. Through handler Chiqui Gil, Jeremy was invited to join the team, and he agreed to join the shoot.

Fashion people knows the concept of a collaboration shoot… the entire team -- consisting of models, stylists, makeup artist, photographer, and hairstylists -- organized a collaboration shoot primarily for their portfolio and secondary for submission to magazines or newspaper for publication.

Our photo shoot with Jeremy and other models was submitted to a major daily in time for the opening of the school year since our peg was Back-to-School fashion. But there were other editorials that were lined up during the weeks of June 2013 so our editorial was pushed back every week until it was already July. That was the reason why we had to wait for the opening of a new school year to push for our editorials publishing.

As per policy, publications issue payments to the team members of an editorial in the form of a personal check only after the pictures are published. That is why I, together with everyone involved in the shoot, have not received any amount for the said shoot (PAYMENT AFTER ONE MONTH OF RELEASE OF EDITORIAL).

Jeremy has been calling and texting me for his tf for the said project. Though I am not obliged to pay him, I took it upon myself to give him his expected amount.

Time went by, text messages were exchanged, calls were made, entertained and others were missed… until May 16 when posted on his FB account about the matter. It was an unfortunate exchange of explanations, string of emotions and equally strong words, most of which i regret that i even posted, for they were lapse of judgement on my part during those specific moments that i felt misunderstood, attacked and judged, specially by people who doesn't even know how the story came into being.

I can go on and on explaining my side of the story, and people can continue to give their opinions and worst ridicule, but my heart and spirit are broken because at the end of the day this is where i end up in my intention of the task of paying up Jeremy his tf even if none of us involved in the shoot has received a single cent

I have no motive in ignoring or hiding from Jeremy, as what most people perceived it to be and made it appear to be because, let us put the record straight, I DONT OWE JEREMY ANY AMOUNT. For the times that Jeremy assumed or perceived that i ignored him or hid from him i would like continue to say that it was not my intention.

It is my earnest desire that this issue comes to rest. Moreover it is my prayer that people reading all the posts about this matter would be informed enlightened before they form judgement on both Jeremy and me.
