SINO ANG TATANGHALING BIG WINNER NG “PBB UNLIMITED”?

Matapos ang limang buwan ng walang humpay na pasabog, drama, sorpresa at 29 housemates na lumisan sa Bahay ni Kuya, napangalanan na ang apat na housemates na makakarating sa "PBB Unlimited: Big Night at the Grandstand", isang gabi ng selebrasyon ng galing at talento ng Pinoy ngayong Sabado (Mar 31), 9:30 p.m. sa Quirino Grandstand.

Gaya ni Biggel, hindi rin lumaki sa karangyaan ang 20 taong gulang na si Pamu, ang "Kitikiti Kid ng Batangas." Nakilala man bilang kalog, hindi siya natakot na lumaban sa mga mapang-aping Don at Donya at sa pagpapahayag ng nararamdaman sa ex-housemate na si Kevin.

Pinaka-tumatak naman sa publiko ang pagiging house player ni Paco, ang "Hopeless Romantic ng Gensan," na naging katuwang ng taong bayan sa pagsubok sa katahuan ng housemates. Pinakita niya ang pagiging isang magaling na pinuno ng dating Team Wayuk na marunong dumiskarte sa kanilang tasks.

Nasaksihan ng mga manonood ang prinsipyo ng "Hotshot Engineer ng Cebu" na si Slater sa simula pa lang ng programa. Sawi man sa huling pagsubok na 'Big Shot for a Fifth Slot,' nakakitaan ito ng pagiging mabuti at mapagparaya na handang tumulong sa mga kasama.

Patuloy na kilalanin ang Big Four housemates sa huling dalawang araw ng pananatili nila sa Bahay ni Kuya at abangan kung paano ang paraan ng pagboto sa inyong Big Winner. Sino kaya kina Biggel, Pamu, Paco, at Slater ang susunod sa yapak ng mga ordinaryong Pinoy na kinilala, umangat, at naging Big Winner?

Robinson's Galleria Robbery and Shooting Incident: 1 Dead, 6 Hurt

Robinson's Galleria Robbery and Shooting Incident: 1 Dead, 6 Hurt


Suspected riding-in-tandem robbers conducted a daring daylight robbery inside Robinsons Galleria Mall in Ortigas Thursday morning, killing a security guard and injuring 6 others.

Robinsons Land corporate PR manager Roseann Coscolluela-Villegas said the mall was still closed when 2 suspects "forcibly entered the mall" before 10 am and went to the mall’s first level to rob Security Bank roving tellers who were delivering money.

"At least 2 armed men tried to rob the roving tellers of Security Bank in Quezon City at around 10 a.m. today. Police authorities responded to the alarm, which is part of the mall security setup, within 15 minutes," an official statement from Robinsons Land said.

Villegas said 2 security guards were injured during a shootout between the suspects and mall security. One of the guards, identified as Rodrigo Villa, later died while receiving treatment at Medical City in Pasig.

The other guard was Roderick Reloso. He remains in critical condition at the said hospital.

Two Security Bank tellers, Vincent Mangatura and Lea del Mundo, were injured after the suspects threw a grenade at them. Three mall goers -- Paul Adrian, Johanssen Dionisia and Rabe Jeremy -- were also injured.

The robbers fled onboard a motorcycle, carrying an undetermined amount of cash.

The spokeswoman said the mall was closed for a few hours after the incident and has since reopened to the public.

A witness, identified only as "Raymart", said he was eating at Chowking Restaurant when the suspects wearing yellow green uniforms went inside the mall Thursday morning and started shooting at guards near the Robinsons Bank.

"Hindi siya normal na putukan. Medyo nagtagal. Malapit lang sa shopping area yung putukan," he told Mornings@ANC.

“Nagstart ang putukan hindi sa labas, sa loob talaga,” he added.

He said he dropped to the floor when he heard rapid gunfire. He said the shooting lasted a long time, followed by an explosion.

“I don’t know how [the robbers] got in the mall. They were already inside the mall when the shooting started,” he said.

He said people hid inside the fast food kitchen for 30-45 minutes. He said they were only allowed to leave the kitchen after they were given the all-clear.

DZMM correspondent Arnell Ozaeta said at least one grenade did not explode and could be seen outside the mall. Dela Vega said the grenade’s pin was already removed when the police discovered it.

A pistol magazine was also found at the crime scene.

The explosion and gunfire caused panic as people fled the area. All stores inside the mall have been closed and people have been prevented from entering.

The Metro Manila Development Authority posted an advisory in its Twitter account, warning motorists of heavy traffic near the Galleria entrance on the northbound lane of EDSA.

Reflect and be inspired this Holy Week as ABS-CBN airs some of its heartwarming specials, dramas and Star Cinema movies, and best documentaries beginning on Maundy Thursday (April 25) until Good Friday (April 26).

Begin the solemn journey by catching the “Mga Kuwento Sa Lupang Pangako,” which was produced by Jesuit Communications Foundation. This special features two documentaries “Sa Mga Yapak Ni Hesus,” and “Ang Makabagong Disipilo” that were both shot in Israel.

“Sa Mga Yapak Ni Hesus” follows a group of Filipino pilgrims who come to experience the Holy Land, with the help of their pilgrimage master Manila Archbishop Chito Tagle. Instead of dwelling on the passion and death of a vanquished Christ, Tagle leads them to a deeper understanding of the triumph and joy of the risen Christ, and the impact on their futures. This special will be narrated by veteran broadcast journalist Cheche Lazaro. “Sa Mga Yapak Ni Hesus” airs Maundy Thursday (April 5), 12p.m.

“Ang Makabagong Disipulo” is an up-close and personal look at Fr. Luis Antonio “Chito” Tagle, the newly installed Archbishop of Manila. This documentary, hosted by ABS-CBN anchor Bernadette Sembrano-Aguinaldo, takes a deeper look into this remarkable man on a mission. It begins as Fr. Chito is about to make his first pilgrimage to the Holy Land a few weeks before his installation. It follows him on this bittersweet journey, fraught with apprehensions and anxieties, and it watches how he comes to Jesus in the very land that He was born in and died. “Ang Makabagong Disipulo” airs Good Friday (April 6), 5p.m.




ABS-CBN will also air some of Catholic Church’s significant observations this Lenten Season such as the “Lenten Recollection” on April 5, 3:30 p.m., “Celebration of the Lord’s Supper” on April 5, 1:30p.m. On Good Friday, join the country in hearing Jesus’ “7 Last Words” at 3p.m. that will be followed by the “Veneration of the Cross” at 4p.m. Also, welcome Easter with a pure heart by participating in the televised “Easter Vigil” which will air on Black Saturday at 11:30p.m.




Meanwhile, among the “Maalaala Mo Kaya” episodes to be aired this Lenten season are “Krus” on April 5, 7p.m., “Tsinelas” starring late actor AJ Perez on April 6, 7p.m. and “Traysikel” on April 7, 7 p.m.

Korina Sanchez’s miracle-themed episodes aired on “Rated K” will be aired on April 5 and 6 at 6p.m., and “Kwento ng Buhay Ko” episode, a finalist in New York Festival, on April 7, 6p.m.

“Krusada” and “Patrol ng Pilipino” documentaries will also be aired. Tina Monzon-Palma delivers compelling stories of people who faced and overcame adversity through faith and prayers on April 5, 10:30p.m., while Abner Mercado will show us the sad condition of elderly prisoners by introducing us to three inmates from the Correctional Institution for Women (CIW).

Star Cinema will also present its inspiring flicks such as “Dubai” on April 5, 10a.m., “I’ll Be There” on April 5, 10:30p.m., “Ang Tanging Yaman,” April 6, 10a.m., “Sa’yo Lamang,” April 6, 8:30p.m., “Paano Kita Iibigin,” April 7, 10a.m., and “Till My Heartache Ends” on April 7, 8:30p.m.

Ashton Kutcher - Rihanna Affair Denied

Ashton Kutcher - Rihanna Affair Denied


Rihanna has addressed recent rumors of a possible romance between her and Ashton Kutcher, saying she is "happy" and "single."

The website TMZ had on March 21 posted photos of a vehicle stopped by what was described as the "Two and a Half Men" actor's "swanky L.A. house." The outlet said Rihanna was inside the SUV and that she didn't leave the home until "roughly 4 a.m." The post was later removed. Kutcher, who split from wife Demi Moore last year, has not commented.

A reporter for the UK TV station ITN asked Rihanna at a recent press conference: "Things are clearly going brilliantly in your career. I just wondered if you are as happy in your private life and will we be seeing a certain Mr. Ashton Kutcher perhaps making a trip over here?"

"How disappointing was that question?" Rihanna replied, as seen in a video posted on Metro UK's website on Wednesday, March 28. "I'm happy and I'm single, if that's what you're really asking."

The press conference was aimed at promoting the movie "Battleship," which marks Rihanna's movie debut. The film also stars Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Taylor Kitsch. The film is based on the classic game by Hasbro. Rihanna plays Raikes, a weapons specialist in the sci-fi thriller, which is set for release on May 18. Rihanna previously dated fellow R&B star Chris Brown. Hepleaded guilty to attacking Rihanna in February 2009 and was ordered to complete domestic violence courses and was put on probation.

The two appear to have put the incident behind them, as they collaborated on two records recently. Rihanna said on Ryan Seacrest's his KIIS-FM radio show: "One for my fans. One for his fans, and that way our fans can come together," Rihanna said. "There shouldn't be a divide. You know? It's music, and it's innocent."

Watch Rihanna talked about her love life at the UK press conference for "Battleship" and a trailer for the movie below:
