Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion relationship confirmed in The Buzz

It’s official, Piolo Pascual and KC Concepction are now in a relationship. Piolo admitted it in The Buzz.

A neatly groomed Piolo Pascual dressed in white polo shirt and jeans made the afternoon show The Buzz worth watching. In Charlene Gonzales’ segment Straight from the Heart, Piolo sat comfortably but vocally admitting that he’s nervous because of the issue that he had to answer. The crowd went wild when Piolo came in as Charlene commented positively on the warm admiration shown by the audience for Piolo.

The interview started with Charlene congratulating Piolo for having been chosen by the University of Santo Tomas as one of its four awardees who were built with a man-size replica. Piolo revealed that he was teary-eyed while the statue was being unveiled as his mom told him that, for her, it was the best award that he has ever received as an actor. He then thanked the administration of UST for giving him the opportunity to finish college without so much pressure.

The conversation then switched to the gift given by Piolo’s mom to him as he read the message of his mom tearfully. He confirmed that his mom had so much difficulty during her pregnancy because he has been in her womb for ten months. He further said that he already had his two front teeth when he was born and his mother craved for “champoy” when she was pregnant.

Charlene then asked him if he would allow his son Inigo to enter the showbiz industry as many fans were rooting for him after his appearance in ASAP. Piolo replied that he wants his son to finish his studies first, even high school but if that is what Inigo wants, he will support him. He revealed that his son is now into music and as a father he will back him up for whatever he wants.

The most exciting part of the interview came in when Charlene asked about the status of his lovelife. Straightforwardly, she asked if Piolo is in love with KC Concepcion to which Piolo answered with a meaningful smile. Charlene then asked if he and KC are in a relationship. Trembling and perspiring, Piolo affirmed the fact that they have been together since October 21 last year. He stated that it took him two years to finally get KC’s yes. And he is thankful because the whole family of KC is very accommodating to him.

When she was asked by Charlene if KC is the girl he wants to spend his life with, Piolo answered that it took him eight years to finally fall in love again and he would not confirm it in public, if KC is not the girl he wants to marry. He ended saying that whatever he feels right now, he owes it to the public, to his family and of course to the one whom he calls “My Princess”, KC Concepcion.

Luis Manzano kissing Jasmine Curtis issue is just a hoax

Luis Manzano expressed his dismay about a circulating issue concerning him and Anne Curtis sister. The alleged rumor was about Luis Manzano kissing Jasmine Curtis. Luis falsified the issue in his Saturday talk show (E live) and said that Jasmine is like a sister to him.

He expressed his message directly to those who spread the malicious issue. He said that before someone should invent an issue, try to look at their own mirror and see what really is happening, I love Jasmine as a friend and as my little sister. The issue is shocking and it's definitely a hoax.

Jasmine Curtis is a sister of Showtime mainstay, Anne Curtis. She is the newest actress in TV 5 who will star in Ang Utol kung Hoodlum together with JC de Vera.

Sharon Cuneta billboard will be pulled out - Marie France

Sharon Cuneta's Marie France billboard will be pulled out. A rumor that continuously circulating in text message and social networking sites starting yesterday. The text message said that Marie France will remove the billboard because Sharon Cuneta's image was different from what is being seen in person and in television.


Sharon is not yet giving any statement regarding the issue but Marie France already did. In a PEP interview today, they said that the rumors were just a hoax. They also said that before the submission of the billboard, they are asking for opinions of the photographers. Sharon Cuneta is one of the sought after endorsers in the Philippines, she would not place herself in selling a lie, they added.

ASC (Standards Council) is the one responsible for the removal of billboards in the Philippines. According to them, this happened if they received a formal complaint, but as of the moment, they are not receiving any for Sharon's billboard.

The image of Sharon may appear different in billboard because it can be done through the proper angle, lighting and shadow both from the subject and camera.


Marie France Bodyline is a center of slimming where registered nutritionist and medical doctors monitors the slimming progress of their customers. According to their website, their consultants are all professionals and posses high qualifications.

Just recently, Sharon Cuneta fell on the stage during her annual concert in Araneta Coliseum. The reason, as confirmed by many was she's having an extreme diet. Obviously, the reason of this is because of the above mentioned bodyline - Marie France.

Update:

Just recently, Sharon Cuneta felt very hot-headed because of the negative remarks stoned to her new Marie France billboard ad. She said that since her entry in entertainment industry, she's endorsing product with truth, honesty and credibility.

Hayden Kho contributed to Sharon's anger because of his misinterpreted tweet in response to the tweet of his perfume line competitor.

"There's a billboard ad in EDSA developed by advertisers who think consumers are stupid. Guess" - this was the tweet of Hayden last January 27, 2011.

Sharon answered Hayden's tweet through a much spicy statements. She said,

"Decent people are people I would like to listen to. Not those who do not know the meaning of decency. And who treat women like they're nothing! Excuse me! You know, you want to start a war with me? You? Fix all your problems first!"

haar kar khushiya manana bhi zindagi…


Zindagi Mein Kuch Lamhein Khaas Ban Jaate Hai,
Mile to Mulakat Ban Jate Hai,
Bichhre to Yaad Ban Jate Hai,
Aur Jo Dil Se Kabhi Nahi Jaye,
Wo Kuch Log Jine Ka Ek Bahana Ban Jate Hai.

hushi se dil ko aabad karna…
Aur gham ko dil se azad karna,
Hamari bus itni gujarish hai ke hame bhi
Din me ek baar YAAD karna…

Ruffa Gutierrez Confirms Shaina Magdayao’s Call

Beauty queen turned TV host Ruffa Gutierrez confirmed the issue regarding the controversial call she received from ABS-CBN’s Alynna lead star, Shaina Magdayao. Last January 25, Ruffa sent a message to one of the hosts of QTV’s Tweetbiz stating that Shaina once called her in the middle of her sleep. She stressed the fact that the time of Shaina’s call was 2:00 in the morning and it concerned her one rumored boyfriend, John Lloyd Cruz who is currently Shaina’s boyfriend.

Ruffa said that she did not argue with Shaina on the phone because she was with her two daughters during that time and she feared that if she would engage herself in that confrontational call, her daughters might hear their talk. So she just asked Shaina to just ask John Lloyd if they have a problem. According to Ruffa, whatever problem they have, she must be spared out of the issue.

Just last few months, John Lloyd denied the rumor that he was calling Ruffa. However, Dra. Vicki Belo who is Ruffa’s close friend, testified on the authenticity of John Lloyd’s call to Ruffa.

This was after Ruffa Gutierrez confirmed that Shaina Magdayao called her at 2 am in the morning just to talk about John Lloyd Cruz. This issue was just then rumor that appeared in tabloids, but it was confirmed on Tuesday at QTV 11's Tweetbiz hosted by Tim Yap.

Tim texted Ruffa to confirm if the tabloid articles are true and she said:
"Really? Who said?? Yes she called but I was half asleep next to my girls (Hello! it was 2am!) so I couldn't talk. Simply told her that if she had a problem... to go ask JL not me. That's all I'm gonna say Timmie. Pasensiya na. Kaloka!"

Just recently, the issue was between John Lloyd's call to Ruffa Gutierrez, which was also publicly announced by Ruffa in TV5. Now, it's between Ruffa and Shaina's call. What can you say?

Before the issues on these love affairs, John Lloyd and Shaina alleged hospital scandal was also talked about by fans and people online and offline.

It seems that the Aquino administration is continuously tested by threats and challenges, more often in buses. Last year, after months of being at the chair as President of the Philippines, a Hong Kong tourist bus was hostage by Mendoza and killed many innocent lives. Fresh from that, now it's bus bombing. What will be the next? Would it be also in bus? (author's opinion)
