Krist Aquino To Leave The Country If Noy Wins

Remember the episode of The Buzz after the controversial walk out issue of Ruffa Gutierrez?

Sabi ni Kris: “I had dinner w/ Noy tonight after his TVC shoot. He told me ’di raw ba puwede na may quiet Sunday kami? And he asked y sya nada­may when he’s not even part of Buzz. I would like to extend a loving hug to Ruffa. I viewed the tape & altho I still feel I gave my comment w/ af­fection, maybe it made her feel even worse be­cause she’s now moving in a new direction. We had what I be­lieved was a good working rela­tion­ship in the almost 2 years we were together on the Buzz.

“I can also understand that Ruffa’s mom dislikes Noynoy & my family, maybe because of asso­cia­tion & our vocal proclamation of admiration for Ding­dong & his selfless contribution to help Noy’s presidential bid. It is w/ Ruffa that I enjoyed a heal­thy working relationship with & I only have good words to say about her.

“To Ruffa, I sincerely apologize for causing u hurt. My brother Noynoy would like to add that we live in democracy—1 where we r very free to make our own choice for president. Noy told me in any election, we’ll have our share of fervent supporters, and harshes critics. And if u can’t take the heat, then politics isn’t for u.
“As a woman, and as Ruffa’s mom and lola of Lorin & Venice, I respect u tita Annabelle and on behalf of our family I apologize for the distress we caused yours. Hindi po ako mayabang, kaya ako nagpapakumbaba ngayon.

“On a last note, I promised Noy that if he does WIN, and I’m a cause of stress for him & his presidency, I’ll gladly take my 2 boys to live any­where there is TFC so that I can continue to work but w/ our overseas Filipino brothers & sisters. Of course, Noy said—dinner daw ’yun, hindi teleserye ko.”

NOW THAT NOYNOY IS WINNING IN THE UNOFFICIAL TALLY, CAN SHE NOW START PACKING HER THINGS SO THAT WHEN NOY IS OFFICIAL ANNOUNCED AS THE NEW PRESIDENT, SHE IS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY?!!

Manny Villar's Downfall

In a recent news,  Manny Villar concedes to Noynoy Aquino in the presidential race.  There are few apparent reasons he can blame why he lost.

First, he can blame the political ads.  He bombarded the public with his ads and most probably people just got fed up and started to think how much is he spending and how is going to gain his expenses back.

Second, he can blame his endorsers.  His celebrity endorsers, were most likely the most famous in Phil showbiz today - one of whom is Willie Revillame.  Few days before the elections, Willie showed the public his truest form - ARROGANT.  Everybody must have seen and heard how Willie Revillame challenged ABS-CBN management to kick out a showbiz reporter, Jobert Sucaldito for putting him in a bad light in the latter's commentaries / reports.

Lastly, he can blame himself.  Villar faced with several controversies chose not to answer or explain the allegations thrown at him, one of which was the graft charges on C5 extension.  Perhaps, thinking that Filipinos are dumb to just let it pass.

What Is The Latest On Willie Revillame?

I am so eagear to know what is the latest on Willie Revillame.  Did he finally resign?  Was he asked to leave ABS-CBN for his arrogance?

This arrogant creature must be put in a place where he will realize that nobody is indespensible.  He should bear in mind that it is not because of him that people go to the show or even watch the show.  It is the show that people watch not him.  It is because of  the prizes that the sponsors give out that poeople want to be in the show and  not because of him.

Willie Revillame Wants Jobert Sucaldito Kicked Out of ABS-CBN

I recently saw in the news an upset and mad Willie Revillame threatening ABS-CBN that he will resign if it does not kick out Jobert Sucaldito, who reported or commented about Willie's show featuring youths with low grades.

Sucaldito who was doing his job as a radio commentator, commented that Willie should instead feature and highlight students with high grades so young people would follow and be inspired if they wish to have a chance in TV.

I really feel that Willie's call to kick out Jobert is uncalled for and over-bearing of him.  Who does he think he is???  Does this mean that none of the people in the network should talk about him if it puts him in a bad light, just because his show has high ratings?  Willie should bear in mind that his show is being followed by many not because of him.  It is being watched only because he gives away big cash prizes, prizes from the sponsors and not his.  When he was away and out of Wowowee, the show went on, people still went on to watch it and people still tried to be in it hoping they win or bring home some cash.  It makes me wonder what he can possibly do if he is indeed in power or in a position of authority!

ABS-CBN should not allow any of its talents to manipulate them or black mail its managment, so to speak.

Vicky Belo on Hayden Kho: 'I was addicted to him'

Dra. Vicky Belo made headlines once again when she made a surprise appearance at her ex-boyfriend Hayden Kho's arraignment at the Public Hall of Justice last February 23. She previously promised as a New Year’s Resolution last January that she will not be seeing Hayden Kho for five months. "Nakaka-miss talaga because he was also my best friend. I feel so guilty. I missed him and I showed support lang and I was curious of how he looks, he looks like an F4 (Taiwan's famous boy band), ang gwapo pa rin, e." According to the doctor, this is one of her New Year's resolutions to test if their love for each other is for real or not.

Vicky Belo also admits that she became really attached to her ex-boyfriend because of the closeness they had when they were still together. The meeting yesterday somehow made her realize what her weakness is. "Hindi na ako magpro-promise kasi napapahiya ako. Kasi I found out in a way I was addicted to him because (before) I saw him every single day and so when I was there naputol yung hinahanap mo yung tao. Ako kasi (when I am in a relationship) parang aso na kailangan lagi i-pat." But after what happened, Vicky made a promise again that she will not see Hayden for three months, until the latter's birthday on May 20.

Lolit Solis, Vicky's friend who stood by her during the height of the issue on the sex video scandals, admits that she was disappointed when Vicky was not able to control herself. "Wala na, hindi na mapipigilan."

Hayden Kho's Camp: "DOJ Pressured to Charge Him"


On an article at abs-cbnNEWS.com last October 23, 2009 on the embattled doctor's indictment, Kho's camp alleged that DOJ gave way to pressure from media and Sen. Bong Revilla when they ruled on the case.  Kho's counsel, Atty. Lorna Kapunan pointed out that it was being made into a "media spectacle".

Has Kho's camp forgotten that it was also the media that they used to build up Hayden's "good name"? Weeks before the DOJ's ruling, we were swamped with TV interviews and Media items featuring how Hayden is/was, as a good man, a good son, a good brother, a good relative, a good friend, blah blah blah. Everthing you'll hear from these campaigns about Hayden were good. They even featured Hayden as a reformed man or at least on his way to being reformed. All these are obviously PR campaigns to build up Hayden. In all these interviews and features, I have never heard nor seen Hayden say, "Katrina, I am sorry. I should have not done what I have done". We never heard the actual sincere apology.


Now that their ploy did not work, they are blaming the media for pressuring DOJ. A "media spectacle"? Have they forgotten that Hayden got himself into this spectacle? Have they forgotten that Hayden is a celebrity - a status that he himself so aspired?  When the media was featuring Hayden on his way to celebrity-hood, they weren't saying anything about the press making a "spectacle" of his activities...why the turnaround now, just because the "spectacle" he is involved in is now a negative one?

The truth is, he did what he did. And he should be made accountable and responsible for that.

DOJ recommends Kho indictment


Since the Kho - Halili contrversy on their video tape, I have been wanting to see where it will go. Will it be a fairy tale ending or a morbid ending hehehehe


(UPDATE 2) DOJ recommends Kho indictment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 10/22/2009 4:39 PM




MANILA - The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday recommended to a court the indictment of celebrity doctor Hayden Kho for violation of the Violence Against Women and Children Act but the embattled doctor’s camp said they are seeking to stop the case.

The case stemmed from the spread of copies of sex videos showing Kho engaging in sexual acts with several women, including starlet Katrina Halili.

The basis of the case filed by the DOJ to the Pasig Regional Trial Court against Kho for alleged violation of Republic Act (RA) 9262 or the "Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act" was a complaint filed by Halili.

The DOJ, in its resolution on the preliminary investigation of the case, said "we find that the evidence presented by complainant during the preliminary investigation merit the prosecution of said respondent for violation of RA 9262."

The DOJ said that while Kho said he was not responsible for the spread of the video, the video recording of his sexual acts “clearly shows and manifests his lack of respect for women. He cannot simply justify said act with a disclaimer that the videotaping was not meant to be shown to anyone. He should own up and be responsible for his actions particularly when it affects another person's right and dignity."

The complaints, meanwhile, against Dr. Vicki Belo, Eric Johnston Chua, Dr. Herbert "Bistek" Rosario, and Princess Velasco, who have been charged along with Kho, were dismissed.

Chua and Velasco were reportedly present when copies of the sex videos, showing Kho having sex with various women, were taken from Kho's hard drive.

The DOJ panel however recommended that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) continue with its investigation to find out who uploaded the Kho’s sex videos on the Internet.

Partial motion for reconsideration

The embattled doctor’s camp however said that they seek to reverse a portion of the DOJ decision on Halili’s complaint.

The camp of Kho said that the complaint filed by Halili to the DOJ consisted of two allegations – psychological violence and economic violence.

They said however that they would only seek for a partial motion for reconsideration since it was already not proven that Halili was deprived of his livelihood as an actress due to the “scandal.”

In their partial motion for reconsideration, the lawyers of Kho would reportedly asset that the DOJ did not fully appreciate the evidence presented by the NBI on a psychological test on Halili.

They cited that the NBI finding said that the psychological stress suffered by Halili was due to the spread on the Internet of the sex videos 3 months before the investigation started and not on the video taping of the sexual acts which was reportedly 2 years ago.

They said since Halili’s complaint was not on the release of the videos in the Internet and to the public, there should be no case against Kho.

“It is not related to psychological violence. He shouldn't be charged with causing her psychological violence,” said lawyer Lorna Kapunan, counsel for Kho.

Kho’s lawyers are also set to file a motion to suspend to the Pasig Regional Trial Court to stop any proceedings on the charged file against their client due to the DOJ resolution.

They also reiterated Kho’s denial of involvement in the spread of the sex videos and welcomed the DOJ’s recommendation for the NBI to continue its probe on who uploaded the video to the Internet and file charges of pornography against the perpetrators.

‘Fight will continue’

Halili meanwhile welcomed the filing of formal court charges against Kho.


“Siyempre sobrang happy ako na unang una iyon iyong pinakaimportante po sa akin, si Hayden Kho,” said Halili in an interview Thursday. She was a special guest at the National Correctional Consciousness Week celebration at the Women’s Dormitory in Camp Caringal, headquarters of National Capital Region Police Office.

She said she has not talked with Kho since the spread of the videos on the Internet.

Halili said that if Kho would offer his apology she would accept it. She said however that it would not mean that she would withdraw her complaint.

“Di ganoon ang pagkakilala ko sa kanya, Nag-e-expect ako na kahit papaano kakausapin niya ako, hihingi siya ng tawad. Never niya ginawa iyon… Lalaban pa rin po ako,” said Halili.

She said she has but one message to Kho: “Magkita na lang tayo sa korte. Magpa-piyansa ka na lang, joke!” she said jokingly.

Halili’s lawyer also welcomed the DOJ decision.

“Very good. Thanks. We are happy with the DOJ resolution even if the charge versus Belo et al was dropped. At least, we were able to gather facts and material info from Erick Chua, Belo which we can use in filing other cases. We know now the persons na possible responsible sa pagkalat ng video,” said lawyer Raymund Palad, Halili’s counsel.
