Alma Moreno to Run for Senator in 2013 Election

Alma Moreno to Run for Senator in 2013 Election

www.showbiznest.com

Parañaque City Councilor Alma Moreno (Vanessa Moreno Lacsamana-Salic in real life), the current National President of the Philippine Councilors League, is persistent to get a senatorial seat in next year's national election.

In a recent interview Alma (or Ness in some of her friends) gave a hint on her next political plans, "Hintayin nyo nalang. Basta baligtarin nyo yung pangalan ko na NESS (SENN)."

And on Friday, May 11, Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla, President of the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) political party, announces that they are eyeing the actress-politician to be one of their possible senatorial bets in the 2013 midterm elections as they believe she could be a strong candidate for the party.

But right after the news came out, netizens immediately posted their disbelief in this decision made by Lakas-CMD.

User aljon unciano ‏(@aljonatkins07) said:

Alma Moreno for Senator?! For God's sake, stop dreaming for that position. I don't think she's qualified enough."

While Dexter Salazar ‏(@iamDexterific) and Ria Pascua (@coco_luigave) gave Alma an unsolicited advice:

Alma Moreno, Senator agad?! Db pwedeng Barangay Tanod muna hija?"
Alma Moreno should take a hint from Twitter or she'll just waste her time, money and energy."

But, as expected, some made a witty joke out of this news:

Jeni A ‏(@naeinej):

Claudine Barretto-kickboxer, Pacquiao-Preacher. Alma Moreno for Senator? God. Help. Us."

itchan concepcion (@i_amitchan):

Alma Moreno, sng senado ay hindi stage for Lovli-ness. ano 'to, Tangga na lang ang labanan? NKKLK"

Misterhubs ‏(@Misterhubs):

Alma Moreno is trending. Time to play the Alma Moreno blooper reel:

#1. Martin Nievera to Alma: "Come again?" Alma: "Yes, I'll come again!"

#2. Reporter: "Ilang movies na nagawa mo?" Alma Moreno: "Ang hirap naman nyan..." Reporter: "Estimate lang, more or less?" Alma: "More!"

Cedie ‏ (@muntingprinsipe):

How about you? Will you vote for Loveli-Ness to become Philippines' Loveli-SENN-ator?

Renz Valerio disappointed he can’t watch ‘The Road’

Child actor Renz Valerio is disappointed he was not allowed to watch “The Road,” where he plays the young Alden Richards because he’s a minor.

“(I feel) disappointed. Hindi naman po sa nag-eexpect pero sana nakasama ako, parang ganun po yung feeling, pero ok lang po,” the boy explained at the press conference for the new season of GMA’s “My Chubby World Big Adventure” at Papa John’s in Morato, Quezon City on May 2.

Renz hosts the new season along with Daniela Amable, Jana Cutler, and Zyrael Jestre. They go out of the studio and bring fellow children to where the wild things are.

Renz, 13, is the show’s eldest host and its game master.

“Sa totoo lang po, medyo nahirapan po ako nung una. Kaya po ang ginawa nila, pinag-bond kami. So habang tumatagal po, sumasaya na rin po ako na kasama sila,” he describes work on the set.

Showbiz and studies

As for balancing his showbiz career and studies, Renz is proud to say he’s still in the top 10 in the science school where he’s enrolled in.

Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMA Assistant Vice-president for Alternative Productions also clarified at the press conference that the show is on weekends and shooting is held also on the said days to make sure the kids won’t have a problem balancing school and work.

The show features challenges for “kiddie contestants” that play on developing a child’s physical and mental skills. Participants this season are grade school students their respective schools chose to represent them.

The new season of “My Chubby World Big Adventure” will premiere on Saturday, May 12 8:30 a.m. on GMA-7.

Sarah doesn’t easily lose her cool

Sarah Geronimo doesn’t want to comment on the Raymart Santiago-Claudine Barretto-Mon Tulfo airport incident because the pop princess has not seen its uploaded video on YouTube.
Sarah Geronimo

But Sarah is sure she won't easily lose her "cool" when faced in a "provocative situation."

"Mahaba po pasensya ko. At saka iniintindi ko ring mabuti kung bakit halimbawa kung may isang taong galit sa akin or may nakitang mali sa akin pipilitin kong intindihin kung ano yung dahilan," explained Sarah.

As Sarah told this writer in past interviews, "ayaw ko ng magulong buhay." So rather than touch on negative things, she shifted the conversation to what makes her feel grateful.


One of them is "24/SG", her birthday concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on July 7.

Dream concert

"I usually do one major concert a year and so excited ako. Dream concert po ang concept nito. Parang fairy tale that is more visual. May pagka-theatrical kasi mas gusto ko pong theatrical. Ayaw ko po ng tulad ng past concerts ko na may pagka-variety. Mga spiels gusto ko mas spontaneous," Sarah states.

She still has no idea who her special guests will be in her so-called "modernized fairy tale-like concert."

But Sarah is all set to record a new album featuring songs she wants to showcase in her upcoming concert.

Since she’s celebrating her 10th year in showbiz next year, doesn't Sarah get tired of performing in concerts?

"Ay hindi, kasi nag-eenjoy po ako. Yun po talaga ang passion ko ever since. Talagang di ko ma-imagine ang sarili ko po na iba ang ginagawa ko other than singing or performing," she replied.

She doesn't even see herself quitting singing for acting despite box-office hits to her name.

"Well, so far mga roles na nagagampanan ko medyo may pagkakapareho po. In the future po sana mas challenging roles. Hindi naman po yung mga sexy pero mga inspirational," she remarks.

Concerned about fans

Sarah admits she has to consider fans when making career decisions. She thinks they won't accept her in serious roles.

"Baka di magustuhan ng mga fans. Yun din ang challenge ko pag naging seryoso ang mga roles ko. Kasi baka hanap-hanapin nila yung mga dati kong roles and dapat ibigay yun sa mga fans," said Sarah, who expressed interest in doing indie films.

More than her successful career, Sarah is grateful she has a happy family.

"Thank God that I always have my family. I'm thankful na wala kaming problems, na wala kaming major, major na pinagdadaanan," she quips.

MTRCB suspends 'T3'

The Kapatid network is “deeply concerned” by the decision of the Movie and Television Review Classification Board to suspend their public affairs program “T3: Kapatid, Sagot Kita” for 20 days.

The suspension came after “T3” hosts Erwin, Raffy, and Ben Tulfo aired no-holds barred statements in their program on Monday, May 8 against Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barreto after the celebrity couple was involved in an airport scuffle incident with Ramon “Mon” Tulfo.

Ramon is the older brother of “T3” hosts Erwin, Raffy, and Ben.

In a statement sent to Yahoo! Philippines OMG! and other media outfits on Thursday, May 10, TV5 said: “News5 is deeply concerned by the MTRCB decision to place its Public Service program T3 under preventive suspension.

Raffy, Erwin and Ben Tulfo during the press launch of TV5's newest public affairs program

“We believe that this oversteps the mandate of the MTRCB, and sets it on a path could threaten the independence and freedom of the broadcast industry.

“Self-regulatory mechanisms internal to the organization and instituted within the industry and to which TV5 subscribes were in place, enforced, and ultimately effective in disciplining programs host Ben, Raffy, and Erwin Tulfo.”

“MTRCB’s action of placing T3 under preventive suspension raises the question of what else, other than the disciplining of the anchors, the government aims to achieve. The Tulfos have been sanctioned. What else is there for government to resolve? A preventive suspension suggests that the continued broadcast of the program would constitute a danger to the viewing public.

“There is no such danger. T3 was conceptualized, produced, and ultimately classified as news and public service program. For MTRCB to even consider or suggest by its actions that T3 has suddenly lost all its purpose and value, or worse, poses a danger to the public such that it warrants censorship, sets a dangerous tone and could potentially lead to a dangerous precedent for all news programs.”

TV5 suspended the brothers of Mon Tulfo from the show on Wednesday May 9, at 5 PM.

Meanwhile, in an interview with the ABS-CBN News Channel on Thursday, May 10, TV5 President Ray Espinosa questioned the legality of the suspension.

“We want to emphasize that the errors or the misbehavior of a talent must be treated separately from a news program or a platform,”Espinosa said. “Talents are dealt with in accordance with the codes of ethics of each of the networks, but a news program cannot be suspended by MTRCB as a regulator.”

In Interaksyon’s report of the network’s reaction to MTRCB’s order, TV5 president and CEO Ray C. Espinosa said that they will be taking MTRCB to court to secure a temporary restraining order (TRO) on MTRCB’s suspension of the show. – With reports from Jozza Palaganas

Airline staff's family plans to sue Claudine

The family of Cebu Pacific ground staff Charice Bocboc, who was allegedly verbally abused by Claudine Barretto during the incident in Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) 3 on Sunday, May 6, plans to sue the actress.

Claudine allegedly reprimanded Charice when the actress’ luggage was offloaded by the airline. In Charice's hand-written letter, she indicated that Claudine “was yelling and blaming us about the incident.”

“Duru-duruin niya ang anak ko. Binababoy niya eh! Iyan ay pinapaaral namin, hindi sa pinapaaral namin na mumurahin lang at babastusin. Napasakit lang bilang nanay,” Elizabeth Bocboc said, mother of Charice, in an interview on TV Patrol on Thursday, May 10.

Claudine Barretto

According to the report, Charice felt bad about the incident and did not go to work for four days. Cebu Pacific advised her not to comment about the brawl involving Mon Tulfo and Raymart Santiago.

“Porket mayaman sila mahirap lang kami, kaya ang ano ko sa kanila, sana naman ma-realize nila na huwag naman magsalita ng ganoon sa kapwa nila,” Elizabeth shared.

Meanwhile, the Commission on Human Rights said Charice's family can seek legal action against Claudine.

“They can file a case dito sa CHR if they want to, sapagkat dignidad nila yan, hindi naman nila kasalanan iyan,” CHR Commissioner Etta Rosales said.

Enchong on Julia: We’re taking it slow

Enchong Dee knows patience is a virtue especially when it comes to dealing with his inspiration, 17-year-old Julia Montes.

“Sabi ko nga, kapag nasa tamang edad, kumbaga kailangan mong respetuhin kasi ‘yun ang kagustuhan ng lola niya, ng mama niya, ng management. So kumbaga, (one has to) learn how to wait,” he said at the launch of Jollibee’s chocolate and coffee floats last Tuesday, May 8.

Enchong, the fast food chain’s newest endorser adds that he and Julia see each other constantly.

“We get to go out. ‘Pag pwede, pag walang trabaho,” he told members media.

Swimmer and actor Enchong Dee is seen during the autograph-signing of Men's Health magazine April 2012 edition held at Glorietta 5 in Makati City, south of Manila, on 25 March 2012.

He clarifies that while the “Mara Clara” actress inspires him, Enchong clarifies that he and Julia are just friends.

“We go out but we end up parang after the end of the night marami na kaming magkasama,” Enchong relates.

He admires Julia because she shares her earnings with her family.

“She knows how to handle her own hard-earned money. Ang pinakanakakatuwa dun eh hindi nya sinosolo yung kinikita nya. Andun yung pamilya nya palagi, inuuna nya yun,” he reveals.

Because he shares the same outlook, Enchong finds it easy to get along and like Julia as well.

US Tour

Enchong adds that he got to cross a lot of items from his bucket list when he went on a US tour.

“Shark-diving, cliff-diving, watch [an] NBA game live,” Enchong rattles off the things he was able to do.

Enchong adds that “The Reunion,” his upcoming film with Julia, is 70 percent done.

Here, he shares the spotlight with Xian Lim, Enrique Gil and Kean Cipriano. But the actual spotlight will be on the plot itself, he says.

“And pinakamaganda kasi do’n, ang pinakabida talaga is ‘yong reunion na plot, hindi ‘yong mga artista.”

He also shares that after their new movie, he’ll be returning to primetime via a new teleserye.

“Si Maja (Salvador), sya muna lang sasabihin ko,” he says when asked to reveal the cast of the teleserye.

Another new development in his career is the absence of Erich Gonzales as part of a love team.

“It’s another challenge,” he states.

“PBB Teen Edition 4 Uber 2012 Weekend” Premieres this Saturday


Nonstop fun, excitement, and surprises are in store for Uberkadas with the launch of “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 4 Uber 2012 Weekend” this Saturday (May 12), 4 p.m. on ABS-CBN.

Aside from new gimmicks and updates, fans will also be given the chance to bond with hosts Bianca Gonzalez, John Prats and Robi Domingo in the live audience in front of the Big Brother House every Saturday.

The show won’t work without our avid Uber supporters, so the weekend program is an opportunity for us to make them feel they are an important part of the show,” John remarked.

The hosts and happy mascot Eps will temporarily ease the tension of the looming eviction night with the fans’ favorite segments “Uber Acting” and “Teens Try This at Home.” Since the program’s debut, it has always dominated the trending topics list on Twitter for introducing the wacky side of the hosts and spoofing the teen housemates.

We goof around and laugh at each other and ourselves. It’s what it makes the show really enjoyable,” said Bianca, who believes co-host John is the major factor to the show’s fun element.

Meanwhile, “Uber Weekend” will also gather the top participants in “Teen Housemates Look Alike” who were presented during the weekday show. The contest, which seeks ordinary people who look like the teen housemates, will continue until the end of the season and winners will be given tickets to the Big Night.

Apart from entertaining the public, Bianca, John and Robi will also determine the public’s judgment on who should be booted from the PBB House and will share their own take and insight on the housemates’ behavior as the hosts themselves experienced living inside the house.

We can relate to what they’re doing or saying because we were once in their shoes, like when they miss their family or deal with all the backstabbing,” revealed Robi.

Get to watch Uber’s trademark segments “Boy Perstaym” featuring PBB Unlimited Third Big Placer Joseph Biggel and “Punto ni Paco” with PBB Unlimited Fourth Big Placer Paco Evangelista, who remarks on the most controversial issues happening inside the PBB house.

Don’t miss the premiere of “PBB Teen Edition 4 Uber 2012 Weekend” with Bianca, John and Robi this Saturday (May 12), 4 p.m. after “Showbiz Inside Report” on ABS-CBN. For updates, follow @OfficialPBB4 at Twitter and like www.facebook.com/OfficialBigBrother.

PAULO, SUNOD-SUNOD ANG BLESSINGS BILANG KAPAMILYA

Patuloy ang pag-ariba ng showbiz career ng Kapamilya leading man na si Paulo Avelino. Wala pang isang taon mula nang lumipat ito sa bakuran ng ABS-CBN, sunod-sunod na blessings na ang natamo ng hunk actor na mas kilala ngayon bilang si 'Nathan Montenegro' ng no.1 TV program sa Pilipinas na "Walang Hanggan." 

Mula sa pagiging bahagi ng '100 Sexiest Men in the Philippines' noong nakaraang taon ng isang sikat na magazine, kinikilala na ngayon si Paulo bilang isang ganap na aktor, lalo na nang tanggapin niya ang kanyang kauna-unahan acting award kamakailan bilang best supporting actor sa naganap na 2012 Pasado Awards para sa natatangi niyang pagganap sa indie film na "Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa."

Ayon kay Paulo, inspirasyon para sa kanya ang natanggap na parangal. Aniya, "Ngayon mas ganado akong husayan ang trabaho ko at higitan 'yung nagawa kong performance sa movie na 'yun. Inspirado ako lalong hasain 'yung talent ko para naman mapatunayan ko ang halaga ko bilang isang aktor."

Mula sa iba't ibang karakter na telebisyon, isa na ngayon si Paulo sa mga pinakatinitilian at pinakasinusubaybayang leading men ng ABS-CBN lalo na sa gabi-gabi niyang pagganap bilang Nathan sa "Walang Hanggan."

Kuwento ni Paulo, na magdiriwang ng kanyang kaaarawan ngayong Linggo (Mayo 13), masayang-masaya siya sa magagandang bagay na nangyayari sa kanyang career. "Hindi ko talaga inaasahang makikilala agad ako ng viewers. Masaya na akong nabibigyan ng chance na ipakita ang acting skills ko," aniya. "Pero mabilis akong natuto mula nung tinanggap ko 'yung challenging roles sa '100 Days to Heaven,' 'Wansapanataym,' at 'Maalaala Mo Kaya.' 'Yun ang nag-prepare sa akin para sa 'Walang Hanggan."

Nang tanungin si Paulo sa 'sikreto' niya sa pagsikat, ito lamang ang ibinahagi ng hunk actor: "Sipag at maraming prayers. Kailangan huwag kang hihintong maniwala, huwag titigil matuto, at kailangan manatiling humble. S'yempre laking pasalamat ko rin sa suporta ng aking network, ang ABS-CBN."

Samantala, tulad ng pag-ariba ng showbiz career ni Paulo, patuloy din ang paglabas ng tunay na kulay ng karakter niya sa "Walang Hanggan" na si Nathan. Ngayong malapit nang mabunyag na si Daniel (Coco Martin) ang nawawalang anak nina Emily (Dawn Zulueta) at Marco (Richard Gomez), paano haharapin ni Nathan ang katotohanan na kapatid niya ang pinakamatindi niyang karibal sa puso ni Katerina (Julia Montes)? Hudyat na ba ito ng mas malaking away sa pagitan nila? Ang labis na selos ba ni Nathan ang magpapalala ng kanyang sakit?

Patuloy na subaybayan ang teleseryeng tinututukan ng buong sambayanan, "Walang Hanggan" gabi-gabi, pagkatapos ng "Princess and I" sa Primetime Bida ng ABS-CBN.

Paulo Avelino and Julia Montes are Celebrity Players in ‘Kapamilya Deal or No Deal’ this Saturday

Paulo Avelino and Julia Montes are Celebrity Players in ‘Kapamilya Deal or No Deal’ this Saturday


“Walang Hanggan” stars Paulo Avelino and Julia Montes try their luck in “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” this Saturday.




Daniel is not the only person who wants to see Nathan and Katerina fall apart and get bankrupt, but also the Banker of the hit game show “Kapamilya Deal Or No Deal.” This Saturday (May 12), “Banker Daniel” purposely lowers his bank offers to taunt celebrity players, Julia Montes and Paulo Avelino who plays Nathan and Katerina in the leading primetime show, “Walang Hanggan.”

Julia was obviously feeling pressured as she is close to bursting into tears while playing. “I think I’m going to cry, I do not know what will happen. Playing this game is more difficult than taping for a teleserye,” Julia stated. Paulo, however, kept his cool all throughout the game despite Banker’s non-generous offers. Will they choose to open the right briefcases? How will they win the P2 million when the Banker already hates Nathan?



Don’t miss “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal,” hosted by Luis Manzano, this Saturday (May 12), after “TV Patrol Weekend” on ABS-CBN.
