An American police officer falls for Pokwang

An American police officer is falling for our comedian Pokwang and his name is Ryan Navarro. Everyone is wondering what made the guy attracted to her. Was it her beauty, her wit, her sense of humor, or perhaps Pokwang's sex appeal? Whatever it is, we'll have to find out.

Feeling ni comedienne Pokwang, ang haba-haba ng buhok niya! Kasi may isang foreigner na nagkagusto sa kanya nang mag-show siya sa U.S. kamakailan, kasama ang ilang co-talents niya sa ABS-CBN Star Magic. Siya ang police officer na si Ryan Navarro.

"Sa show namin sa Dallas, dun kami nagkakilala nang bonggang-bongga after ng show. Nanood siya ng show nung time na naka-duty siya. Natuwa siya siguro sa pinag-aarte ko sa stage, although hindi naman niya naiintindihan. And then after that, may inutusan siya, yung isa sa mga producers namin, nakisuyo siya para manghingi ng autograph sa akin. Tapos binigay niya yung number niya," kuwento ni Pokwang sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang entertainment press sa isang tsikahan last Wednesday, April 21.

After daw nilang magkakilala ay nakipag-date na si Pokwang kay Ryan kinabukasan.

"May free day kami kasi uuwi na kami the next day. Lumabas kami, may dalawang kasama ako from Star Magic. So yun, nag-bonding kami," aniya.

May communication pa rin ba sila ni Ryan?

"Tinatawagan niya ako, tapos nagti-text siya," tila kinikilig pang sabi ng komedyana.

Ano ang mga sinasabi ni Ryan sa kanya?

"Hindi ko maintindihan kasi English, e!" tawa ni Pokwang

Nagpaparamdam na ba si Ryan sa kanya?

"Ay, naku, ini-enjoy ko lang yung mga moment na ganito, yung kinikilig lang. Pero hindi mo alam kung ano talaga yung kalalabasan, di ba?"

May plano ba naman si Ryan na dalawin siya sa Pilipinas?

"Oo. Hinihintay niya lang yung schedule ko. Ayaw niyang sumabay sa trabaho ko. Gusto niya kung kelan ako maluwag, dun siya pupunta rito," sabi ni Pokwang.

Kahit paano ay may nalalaman naman daw si Ryan tungkol sa Pilipinas dahil nagbabasa siya tungkol dito.

"Gusto niyang pumunta sa Corregidor [historical site sa Bataan]," banggit ni Pokwang.

So, sasamahan niya sa Corregidor si Ryan?

"Tingnan natin. Kung wala naman tayong gagawin o ano, why not, di ba?"

So talagang maglalaan siya ng oras para kay Ryan?

"Ay, aarte pa?" tawa na naman ni Pokwang

POKWANG'S DAUGHTER. May anak na teenager na babae si Pokwang. Ano ang reaksiyon ng anak niya nang malaman nitong may admirer na naman siyang isang foreigner after ng isang Canadian?

"Ay, dumi-dedma siya nang bonggang-bongga. Siyempre, hindi siya natutuwa. Alam mo naman, teenager na, di ba, kaya umaarte nang bonggang-bongga?" [Source: PEP]

NP the source of Noynoy's fake medical report, Villar should apologize

In a statement, the detained general said Villar should follow the example of businessman Manny Pangilinan who "took the responsibility of owing up to his indiscretion.”

“I urge Senator Villar to do a Manny Pangilinan. A true national leader is capable of acknowledging when he is at fault, whether he or his people caused the transgression. As such, I ask, can Villar do that? Can he swallow his pride and admit wrongdoing?" Lim said in a statement.

The fake report, which bore the header of the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) Department of Psychology and allegedly signed by Fr. Carmelo "Tito" Caluag, alleged that Aquino has a history of smoking, drinking and the use of marijuana.

Caluag and the ADMU Department of Psychology have both revealed that the report is fake while ABS-CBN revealed that the documents came from sources from the Nacionalista Party. The NP has denied issuing the fake report.

Lim said the mere fact that institutions such as ABS-CBN and Ateneo De Manila University already confirmed that the alleged psychiatric analysis of Aquino was fake and was sourced from the NP are enough reasons for Villar to seek apology and owe responsibility. Lim is running as a guest candidate of both the Liberal Party and Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino.

“Instead of cashing in on this propped up controversy which is only wasting our time and hurting many people, Villar should be responsible enough to order his people to stop from further escalating the issue,” the detained military official said.

'Ninoy a hero, Villar a coward' - no comparison

Villar's quote in an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News comparing himself with Ninoy Aquino shocked and irked many people including Ninoy's son, Noynoy and his camp.

"Villar should defend himself according to his own merits, and not by disparaging the untarnished memory of a national hero," a statement from Aquino campaign spokesperson Atty. Edwin Lacierda said.

"In the case of Ninoy, he was tried for his obstinate opposition to authoritarian and repressive rule, even in the face of certain death, while Villar is being asked to answer serious corruption charges and unethical conduct where the penalty is censure and retribution, a far cry from the death penalty imposed on Ninoy," Lacierda said.

"Ninoy was tried by a kangaroo court that was subject to the whims of a dictator while Villar was accorded every opportunity to defend himself in a democratic and transparent process which he repeatedly ignored," he added.

"There is simply no comparison; Ninoy is a hero. Villar is nothing but a coward," Lacierda said.

Aquino III also had some harsh comments for Sen. Arroyo, who served as executive secretary of the late former President Corazon Aquino.

Aquino III said that Sen. Arroyo today is different from the human rights lawyer and freedom fighter of the past.

May Bukas Pa and Darna tops ratings

GMA7's new telefantasia Darna starring the sexy Marian Rivera was reported to be the newest television hit but ABS-CBN's May Bukas Pa is still the number one but by only .1 difference. But ABS-CBN still has Tayong Dalawa and Only You right behind these two. But there is no comparison because Santino is a role model. It's no secret that Santino is the most loved kid in the country today. And why not! He's so cute, so adorable and he sets a good example for the other kids to imitate. He is every parent's dream son or would want their sons to be. This week's episode is another one worth watching for because Dolphy is the week's guest. And there will be more because May Bukas Pa has been extended through 2010.

Willie Revillame, ABS-CBN received hearing notice from MTCRB and KBP

Willie continues to be on a hot seat for his reaction during the showing of President Cory Aquino's cortege on the screen while his show was going on. But the Aquino family has already forgiven him and did not want to make a big deal anymore. Willie, for the most part, was actually totally misunderstood because of his tactless and arrogant demeanor. If only Willie made his requests in private and conferred with the management instead of blurting it all out in front of the viewing public, maybe he won't be in this kind of trouble today.
Willie Revillame currently on leave from Wowowee

Willie Revillame is once again in the headlines of various publications and internet sites regarding his statement during a live Wowowee telecast where he asked the live feed of Cory Aquino’s cortege be removed from the screen. Many have seen this as brash and it sprouted already numerous online petitions to have the host suspended or remove from his post on the number one noon time show in the country.

The host was not present last Saturday and yesterday and this automatically made people ask what happened to Willie. According to Bong Osorio, Head of ABS-CBN’s Corporate Communications, Willie himself texted him and said that he is on indefinite leave effective last Saturday. Mariel Rodriguez, one of Willie’s co-hosts on Wowowee, also mentioned on the show yesterday that Willie is currently resting.

On Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) and Kapisanan ng Broadcasters sa Pilipinas’s (KBP) claim that Willie violated Presidential Decree of 1986 Section 3C, saying they can take action on any program on TV that will not reflect good values and show anything injurious to the State, the Republic of the Philippines and its people. ABS-CBN has already received MTRCB and KBP’s notice on the matter and will have only five days to respond to this. MTRCB Chairwoman Consoliza Laguardia and KBP Vice Chairman Jun Nicadao says that the station will receive fair treatment in the hearing of this issue.

On the other hand, Senator Nonoy Aquino in an interview said that he would rather not make a big deal out of the issue. “I’ll take what he said at face value at wala siyang insultong nais iparating sa aming pamilya.” [ABS-CBN]
