Kapuso Stars Walk Out on Tom Rodriguez During 'Don't Lose The Money' Taping

Don’t Lose the Money PR
 
Kapuso stars Rafael Rosell, Pancho Magno, Bettinna Carlos and Victor Basa walked out on "Don’t Lose the Money" game master Tom Rodriguez during the recent taping of the Kapuso game show.
 
Tom was supposed to announce the results of the game when one of the day’s contestants Pancho Magno walked out of the set.

Without a word, Pancho stormed out and his teammates Bettinnas and Victor followed soon after.

John “Sweet” Lapus, from the opposing team, acted pissed off. One of his teammates Rafael, left the set too.

Sweet opened up his frustration to other teammate Pauleen Luna. “Game lang ‘to. Ang cheap naman… It’s part of the game,” he remarked.

After a few seconds, the contestants who left the set walked back in carrying cakes with lit candles.

 


The delighted Tom started sobbing, especially when he saw Carla Abellana with them.

His leading lady and the woman he is dating took him by the hand and tried to console the crying Tom. She also delivered her wish for the Don’t Lose the Money host.

Actually hindi ko na kailangan ipagdasal na bigyan ka ni God ng madaming blessing kasi alam ko He will bless you abundantly because you work so hard and you are so determined. So sana, kayanin mo na lang lahat ng trials, lahat ng struggles na dadating pa sa buhay mo,” she said.

Carla afterwards said that the surprise wasn’t over. “Hindi pa 'yun 'yung surprise mo. Merong mas special pa na surprise sa 'yo,” she declared.

She pointed to the screen where an AVP from Tom’s family played. It showed video greetings from his father, mother, sisters, brother-in-law, nephews and nieces in the U.S.

Happy birthday! Love you, miss you. I watched your show yesterday, it was great. Love you, love you,” his dad William Mott said.

Overjoyed, he thanked everyone who cooked up the surprise for him.

Thank you everyone… best birthday ever. Even though I’m far away from my family, kahit malayo sila, namimiss ko sila araw-araw. Sobrang saya ko po kaya thank you so much,” Tom said.

Daniel Padilla Caught with Another Girl, Not Kathryn Bernardo nor Jasmine Curtis-Smith

Whisper Cottony Long Press Release

Kapamilya Teen King Daniel Padilla talks about his type of girl, ang babaeng may tapang, in a new video entitled "Daniel ♥ Whisper Fearless Girl". 

According to Daniel, his ideal girl is #fearless to stand up for what she wants. “Siya yung tipong confident tumayo para sa sarili, hindi niya inuupuan lang ang problema. May tapang na tumayo at talikuran ang nakasanayan, hindi sunud sunuran sa nakagawian. May tapang na tumayo at manguna sa pagbabago. Wala siyang tinatago kaya wala rin siyang kinakatakutan... angat na angat siya sa iba.”




The video takes off from Whisper’s #LikeAgirl campaign that debunks stereotypes on how a girl behaves. The superior sanitary pad brand believes that Filipina adolescents today are less constrained to excel in any field they might want to venture into. However, their confidence is sometimes decreased by concerns about leaks during Sixty percent of Filipinas today experience leaks, the highest leakage incidence in Asia compared to countries like Japan (21%) and Korea (9%)*. This, coupled with confused feelings about their changing bodies, are the greatest negative drivers of their confidence. Because leaks have become a barrier for young women to take charge of situations, they can sometimes still be perceived in the negative girl stereotype – submissive, timid and hesitant.

Check out the video here:



Whisper Cottony Long pads are two inches longer than regular pads, giving up to 100% no back leaks, so girls can take control of their leaks, and therefore take control of their lives. With Whisper Cottony Long, these girls can stand up and achieve what they want with confidence.

Whisper challenges Filipina teenagers to make the switch and be a Whisper #fearless girl, the kind that men like Daniel Padilla admire. According to Whisper brand manager Jan Jizelle Ang, “A Whisper girl is a fearless girl, ready to take on anything the world throws at her. Whisper Cottony Long eliminates the fear of back leaks and frees her to confidently live her life to its fullest potential.




Are you the Whisper #fearless girl that Daniel Padilla is looking for? Find out more about who a Whisper girl is on Whisper Girl Movement.
