Kahit na si KC Concepcion ay nagulat sa pag-amin ng boyfriend na si Piolo Pascual tungkol sa kanilang relasyon sa The Buzz kahapon. Hindi raw talaga niya alam na magsasalita na ang kanyang boyfriend. “Nasanay na nga ako na hindi siya nagsasalita and I really appreciate his statements and words. It’s just easy to say something ‘yung sinabi niya ida-divert‘yung tanong o conversation. Wala akong ine-expect at all. Thank you, PJ,” ani KC. 

Speechless nga si KC nang siya naman ang tinanong ng kanyang The Buzz co-hosts hinggil sa pag-amin ng boyfriend at hindi niya naiwasan sabihin na, “Kung alam n’yo lang ang dami-dami naming pinagdaanan ni PJ.Andami naming pinagdaanan and I was really surprised that he was very honest.” 

After daw ng interview ni Piolo nagyakapan daw silang magkasintahan backstage at wala nang nasabi sa isa’t isa dahil emosyunal sila pareho.  “Wala kaming napag-usapan. It was very sincere. Kung sincere ‘yung tao kung totoo ‘yung sinasabi niya o pinagdadaanan. And I always said this before when PJ talks, when he likes to do something, napag-isipan na niya ‘yun. Andaming pinagdaanan ng puso niya, ng utak niya, ng katawan niya, ng spiritual life niya. Ang dami niyang pinagdadaanan to reach a certain point sa lahat ng ginagawa niya, so I’m just… thank you PJ for being honest today.” 

Bukod pa rito ay lubos na pasasalamat ang ibinigay ni KC sa mga taong nagmamahal sa kanila ni Piolo. “I’d like to thank everybody sa nagmamahal sa amin ni PJ sa lahat ng suporta at supporters. He’s a really a good guy… a really, really good guy.”

Toni Gonzaga reveals she had a heart-to-heart talk with Mariel Rodriguez

Sa The Buzz kahapon ay ikinuwento ng host na si Toni Gonzaga na nagkaroon na sila ng pagkakataon ni Mariel Rodriguez na magkita noong Sabado, January 29 at nakapag-usap ng apat na oras. Ito rin ang una nilang pagkikita matapos mangyari ang away nila noong nakaraang taon. Inaasahan ding magsasama ang dalawa sa upcoming noon-time show sa Kapamilya network na kinabibilangan din nina John Estrada at Randy Santiago. 

Sabi nga ni Toni, ang pagpayag ni Mariel na makatrabaho siya ay may magandang mensahe. “We’re starting off a clean slate,” ani Toni. Sinabi rin niya na bago ang interview niya sa The Buzz ay nag-text siya kay Mariel para sabihin na kung anuman ang sasabihin niya ay manggagaling sa puso niya.   

Sa unang pagkikita nila, paglalarawan ni Toni, “’Yun na yata ang pinaka-awkward moment sa buhay ko kasi habang papalapit ako sa private room pine-prepare ko na ‘yung sarili ko kasi hindi ko alam kung ano’ng mangyayari.”�

Very casual daw nang magkaharap sila at nagyakapan. Feeling nga raw ni Toni ay parang bago silang magkakilala dahil hindi raw nila alam kung paano sisimulan ang pag-uusap. Pero later on ay nag-open up sila sa isa’t isa at nagkaiyakan.  “Sabi ko sa kanya (Mariel) siguro ‘yung pinakapangit lang may ibang tao na na-involve like ‘yung media, maraming nasabi against the both of us,” ani Toni na sinang-ayunan naman ni Mariel. “We ended on a good conversation and everything was cleared. I said everything in my heart and (siya) everything na nasa puso niya.” 

Malaking biyaya raw na mapili silang host ng upcoming noontime show kung kaya’t nararapat nila itong pagbutihan at hindi nila iyon magagawa kung meron silang gap. “Sabi ko nga we’re given this big blessing and I think it’s a big responsibility for us na pagbutihin ang trabaho natin and to set aside our personal emotions, to start a new, clean slate lang. Maayos lang. I’ve worked with her for six years now.” 

Kuwento pa ni Toni, sinabi sa kanya ni Mariel na siya ang kauna-unahan niyang naging kaibigan sa showbiz na nagsimula nang nasa kabilang istasyon pa sila. Ani Toni, masaya siya para sa kanila ni Mariel dahil binigyan sila ng chance na magsimula ulit.

"She's (KC Concepcion) taken!" -Piolo Pascual

Sa SHOWBIZ TALES OF LOVE AND HATE Episode ng The Buzz kanina, binasag na ni Piolo Pascual ang kanyang katahimikan matapos aminin sa publiko ang relasyon nila ni KC Concepcion. Matatandaan na tikim ang bibig ng dalawa sa totoong estado ng kanilang relasyon.

Narito ang ilan sa bahagi ng panayam kay Piolo Pascual:

PJ:  I’ve come to a point in my life na mas gusto kong magpakatotoo regardless of what people might say, regardless of people’s judgment or opinion, i guess because the person deserves it. I guess because i just owe it to myself, i owe it to the public and i owe it to that person.

Cha: Piolo this is your chance. Be honest. Kayo na ba ni KC Concepcion?

PJ: Yes.

Cha:  Piolo that is something everybody wants to hear. And i am so happy for the both of you. How do you feel? It’s liberating isn’t it?

PJ: It’s very liberating, siguro what I’ve to deal with is a sorry I just have to expound on this. The reason why I never admitted naman or not elaborate it because may pinoprotektahan ako. You know how it is, I have a son na hindi mo makasama. Ayaw mong mapariwara ‘yung bata, ayaw mong magkaron ng ibang reaction kasi bata ‘yun, he’s only 13 years old. But I think I decided at this point na kung ano man ang magiging reaction ng anak ko from here, we just have to deal with it.

Cha: And you’re at age and you’re son is of at age as well.

PJ: And siguro para matigil na ‘yung mga nagpaparinig kay Kristina joke!

Cha: Teka muna na-guilty naman ako kasama ba ako diyan, hindi naman di ba?

PJ: Hindi naman, marami kasi ang nagsasabi na may gusto raw sa kanya pero I guess they just have to know that we’ve been together. I wouldn't want to watch another interview para may magsabi na may crush sa kanya or gustong makipag-date. I just want them to know that she's taken.

Cha: For how long?

PJ: Since last year.

Cha: Kelan ang anniversary n'yo?

PJ: October 21.

Cha: How did you get her to say yes? Ano ginawa mo?

PJ: It took me 2 years. We’ve been going out for 2 years tsaka na ‘yung detalye pero siyempre that’s one of the best days of my life.

Cha: And how did you feel when she said yes.

PJ: Siyempre na-relief. For the first time in so many years, more than 8 years, I’m getting into a relationship, a commitment, and I plan to keep it.

Cha: Is she the woman that you would like to spend the rest of your life with?

PJ: Siguro hindi naman ako aamin ng ganito o hindi ako magte-take ng risk kung sa tingin ko hindi ko gusto siya makasama habang buhay.

ABS-CBN Foundation breaks Guinness World Record with Kapit Bisig Para Sa Ilog Pasig Run

by Manila Santos | January 28, 2011 11:11 PM | Share this article

After more than 22 years, the Guinness World Record for most number of participants in a racing event has finally been broken by ABS-CBN Foundation’s Kapit Bisig Para Sa Ilog Pasig run held in October 10 last year with 116,086 runners registered. The record was previously held by the Bay to Breakers event held in San Francisco in 1988. The 10.10.10 run was organized to raise consciousness for the rehabilitation of the river and its tributaries. Proceeds from the run were used to rehabilitate Estero de San Miguel, one of the five tributaries behind Malacanang that flow into the Pasig River.

ABS-CBN Managing Director Gina Lopez talked about an even bigger goal for this year’s biggest eco-foot race which will be called Run for the Pasig River 11.20.2011. “We want the run every year to be a celebration of joy. We need to break the world record every year. For a country that has been colonized for 400 years, to do this run in magnificence and peace is a great achievement. If we are to do the run again and again, this will be a major force in making the river clean. We got the military, the police, the church, and students involved. It is such an amazing story and I think that is the beauty of it,” she said during the media lunch held last January 28 at the ABS-CBN Foundation building. 

The luncheon was hosted by Juddah Paolo who was part of last year’s event and will continue to be the host for the pre-event and post-event show this coming November. “Last year’s experience was amazing. It was painstaking also for everyone. I was going to all the different schools and giving talks about it. This year, I’ll still be going back to the schools. I told the students I’ll be back every year to give talks. I came to the Philippines with one thing on my mind and it’s to really see the country to its fullest potential and cleaning the river is really one of the steps to start doing it and then after that, we can clean up the streets and the air and this country will be phenomenal. I hope people find it in their hearts to really help the country first before everything else. This country, once it booms, everything will be well,” he shared with Push.com.ph.

One of last year’s race directors was Rio Dela Cruz, who is also one of the more familiar faces in the Philippine running scene. He is known to be part of the reason why celebrities like Piolo Pascual and Karylle are in good running form. The running coach slash commercial model said that while he is currently busy preparing for the 42k Paris Marathon which will be held in April, he will make sure to invite his celebrity clients and friends to the Run for the Pasig River event this coming November. 

Even Gina Lopez implored celebrities to participate and help their cause. “We are a celebrity-struck country. The people idolize celebrities. Whatever the celebrities do, they follow. So if celebrities take the lead and run for the Pasig River, then everyone else will follow. It’s a way to shift mass consciousness. So you people out there whom the people idolize. You people with fans. You owe it to the country to bring your fan base and all the people who idolize you to the path of cleaning our river. If you do this, you can make a difference and we will give your fans and the children of your fans a much, much brighter future. We can do it if we work together,” she said.

The staunch advocate for Pasig River also urged everyone to take a stand and join the run. “Kung lahat ng tao nagkakaisa, nothing is impossible. It’s good for health. We’re stopping all the cars so you wont be near pollution. Come with us. There is nothing in the world that can stand in the face of people united by a noble cause. Kayang-kaya natin itong lahat. Mabuhay kayo,” she said.

Kilala ang University Of  Santo Tomas as the oldest University in Asia. Kagabi ay isang engrandeng selebrasyon ang ginanap para sa kanilang 400th year. Ang naging highlight ng programa ay ang unveiling ng glass and bronze sculpture na ginawa ni Ramon Orlina na isang world-renowned Thomasian sculptor.

Present sa celebration ang mga UST alumni na sina Piolo Pascual at Charlene Gonzalez-Muhlach. Kabilang din ang dalawa sa naging modelo para sa ginawang 10-meter high monument ng kanilang alma mater bilang tribute sa kanilang mga achievements sa industriya. Overwhelmed sina Charlene at Piolo sa muli nilang pagbabalik sa kanilang school. 

“UST has always been an integral part sa buhay ko, yung mga memories and moments that I experienced in UST, dadalhin ko ‘yan habangbuhay. What a wonderful homecoming,” emosyonal na pahayag ni Charlene.

“UST changed my life, because of UST ay nakapasok ako sa ABS-CBN because my friends from Teatro Tomasino made a way for me to enter showbiz. If not for UST hindi rin siguro ako magiging artista,” seryosong pahayag naman ni  Piolo.

Kasama ring dumalo ni Charlene ang kanilang kambal na anak ni Aga Muhlach na sina Andres at Atasha. Masaya at very proud ang magkapatid sa ginawang pagpaparangal ng UST sa kanilang mommy. Hindi naman daw nakasama ng mag-iina si Aga dahil may trabaho ito kagabi.

Ramon Revilla Sr. meets the second batch of ‘Agimat’ boys

Jason Abalos, Enchong Dee, Ejay Falcon, and Jolo Revilla finally made a courtesy call last January 27 to legendary Agimat star Ramon Revilla Sr. at the office of Philippine Recreation Authority where he’s now chairman of the board. The veteran actor fondly recalled his heydays and shared some useful advice about making it big in showbiz. “Ngayon na medyo nag-uumpisa pa lamang sila, remain humble, hindi yung mayabang agad na malaki ang ulo. Wala yun, ‘di sisikat yun. Or else if they let fame come to their head, then it will explode, pagkatapos nun wala na sila. So remain humble and be good to your fellowmen lalo na sa kasamahan nila sa industriya. Hindi ako nagbago hanggang sa ngayon. Hanggang ngayon mahal ko pa rin ang taga-pelikula sapagkat dun ako nagmula,” he began.

The former Senator also commended his grandson Jolo for his previous portrayal of Pepeng Agimat was a huge success. “He’s a good actor now. ‘Jolo, congrats, you’re getting better at it. I hope you also do the same with your upcoming role as Kapitan Inggo.” He then took the chance to remind the boys to never stop looking for ways to improve their craft. “Everybody, I hope you improve more. Huwag kayong magsasawa sa pagpapaganda ng acting ni’yo even though you’re good already. Walang ceiling ang improvement e, everybody has to improve.Kahit awardees sa Oscar, they’re trying to improve their image further. At ‘pag sinabing ang call time ngshooting ay 8 am, be there at 8 am. Huwag maging cause of delay,” he added. 

But most of all, Ramon cautioned them about playing games with women’s hearts. As a certified ladies’ man during his time, he said that it’s too easy for young actors in the biz to be romantically linked to lots of girls. “Eto masasabi ko sa inyong mga pogi, ako ay sobra sa chicks noong ako’y bata pa, hindi maganda, hindi dapat tularan. Maganda lang na, sige gawa ka ng kalokohan, pero in the long run talo ka, madami kang pagbabayaran, so ‘wag ni’yo kalilimutan yun. Yung isa, dalawa [na chicks] ok lang, ‘wag yung napakarami. Sapagkat yung kalokohang ginawa ko nung araw, pinagbabayaran ko ngayon.”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh though when he also cited his son Senator Bong Revilla as a reformed playboy. “Kaya sinasabi ko kay Senator Bong, ‘Bong tama na ‘yan,’ nakikinig naman (laughs), sapagkat ‘di maganda. Unang-una meron kayo lahat kabiyak na babae. Ikalawa, sagutin mo lahat yun ‘pag tumanda kayo, nagkaanak kayo, ‘di niyo maaring takbuhan yun.” 

At the end of the interview, he assured Jason (Bianong Bulag), Enchong (Boy Putik), Ejay (Pepeng Kuryente), and Jolo (Kapitan Inggo) that he would support their respective projects for Agimat: Ang Mga Alamat Ni Ramon Revilla in ABS-CBN. “I wish you luck. Lahat ‘yan ‘di papahuli sa rating ‘yan. I think people will patronize that the same they did in my movies before,” he stated.
