Mother Lily Focuses On The Four New Films Regal Entertainment Is Releasing & Not On The Presidential Election
When Mother Lily celebrated her 76th birthday recently at her Valencia Events Place, little did she know that it will be controversial because presidential candidate Mar Roxas appeared there to greet her with wife Korina Sanchez. Because of this, some rival quarters are now sore at her. “You know, the truth is I didn’t invite anyone except the entertainment press na good friends ko,” she says. “Hindi ko alam na marami palang ibang pupunta roon. Alangan namang paalisin ko sila. And besides, friend ko naman si Mar. When I was in the hospital for my lung operation, he came to visit me with Pres. Noynoy. And his mom has been my friend for so many years now. Pero hindi ko alam na dahil doon, sasama ang loob ng ibang tao sa akin. All I can say is malayo pa naman ang election. Marami pang puedeng mangyari, so huwag muna sila mag-jump into conclusions kung sino ang susuportahan ko. As of now, busy ako kasi ang daming bagong movies ng Regal na sunod-sunod naming ipalalabas. Nandun muna ang focus ko, sa promotion nila.”
First to be released this September is “Resureksiyon”, a shocking horror flick starring Isabelle Diaz, Jasmine Curtis Smith and Paulo Avelino.

Yam Concepcion Sizzles as FHM's September 2015 Cover Girl
Yam Concepcion made a come-back, appearing once again on the cover of FHM Philippines this September 2015.
Yam's last posed for FHM was almost three years ago(October 2012).
In an interview, Concepcion shared the lessons she learned from the entertainment industry since Erik Matti's 2012 erotic thriller 'Rigodon" help launch her as a sexy actress.
"Ngayon I'm more comfortable being in a studio. I'm more myself," Yam said. "Kasi sometimes when you're in front of a camera, you're not being yourself. Sa utak mo, sasabihin mo yung gustong marinig ng ibang tao, or to please other people, or to make a good impression."
"But now it’s so much different. I guess I just show my real self. This is who I am. Kung masaya ako, masaya ako. Kung ayaw ko, ayaw ko. I’m more open now," she added.

[Commentary] Kiko’s ‘Hashima Island’ photos; are Koreans being too harsh?
Author’s note: Statements given below are my personal opinion. No harm intended just free expression.
They really got this hateful blood towards Kiko.
Kiko Mizuhara is once again the subject of Korean netizens hostility for her controversial Hashima Island photos.
Just recently, she has angered the netizens with her photo wearing a t-shirt with bold F*** written on it. However, netizens today are on rage as month-old photos of Kiko taken at Hashima Island are published and comments calling her ‘crazy’, ‘bitch’, and other malicious statement like “don’t ever go back to Korea” are pouring in.
Is Kiko really shameless or a victim of unfairly harsh treatment?
Let’s ponder on this.
Why is it controversial? – Hashima Island or Battleship Island has recently included as UNESCO World Heritage site this July. For Koreans, the island bears painful sentiments as many of their fellows died in there and were forced laborers during Japanese’ colonial rule.
What is Kiko doing in Hashima Island? – Actually, it’s not only Kiko, but the rest of the cast of her starring film “Attack on Titan” were there. In fact, the island was used as one of the major filming locations for the said film and the cast and director held a film conference in early July.
Why is it brought up now? – The photos were not controversial until ‘Infinity Challenge’ aired its August 29th episode showing Yoo Jae Suk and Haha at the Island bowing and paying respects to the souls of Koreans who died in there.
I admit that Kiko is not innocent and has caused Korean netizens’ disgust not only once but is that enough to be subjected to this reflexive loathing? She’s not even swearing, making faces or posing indecently in the photos. She is one of the leading cast in the film and has just taken photo at their filming site like the rest.
In addition, majority despise Kiko for having Korean descent but during controversial issues like this, netizens tend remind her that they share ancestors. Really what? Where is Kiko going to situate herself?
Feel free to generate discussion.
