Kris at Ruffa, hindi pa nag-babatian

Sa isang interview ni Ruffa sa PinoyParazzi, hindi pa raw siya binabati ni Kris.

It seems happy naman si Ruffa sa paglipat niya sa TV 5. Kahit pa nagkaroon ng isyu sa pagitan nila ni Kris Aquino sa huling episode niya sa The Buzz bago pa ang kanyang tuluyang paglisan sa bakuran ng ABS-CBN.
“Para sa akin, tapos na ‘yon. I’m already looking forward.”
Kumusta nga pala sila ni Kris matapos mag-public apology ang huli na tinanggap naman niya?
“Hindi pa rin siya nagri-reach out sa akin. Pero baka sakaling sira ang phone niya, bigyan ko na lang siya ng Nokia,” pabirong sabi ni Ruffa na ngayo’y siyang bagong endorser na ng Nokia.

Eh siya ba bumati na kay Kris. Hindi ba maka-Villar na siya.

Hindi baga ayon kay Lolit Solis e…

May sorpresa si Senator Manny Villar para sa mga anak ni Ruffa Gutierrez na sina Lorin at Venice.
Hindi ko puwedeng sabihin ang surprise na matatanggap ng magkapatid na memoryado ang lyrics ng campaign jingle ni Papa Manny dahil hindi na ito magiging surprise.
Na-appreciate ni Papa Manny at ng kanyang staff ang effort nina Lorin at Venice na memoryahin ang Naging Mahirap kaya may ipadadala sila sa magka¬patid na bibang-biba at obvious na susunod sa yapak ng kanilang ina, lolo at mga tiyo.

May nag-text! Magkano raw ang tinanggap ni Ruffa kay Villar?
So, kung ikaw kaya ang nasa lugar ni Kris, babatiin mo pa ba si Ruffa? Ano ka, siempre hindi noh.

Kris Aquino apologized and so should Annabelle Rama

For their reactions, Annabelle Rama and Raymond Gutierrez have said hurtful words to Kris Aquino as well, and Annabelle was totally out of line for involving Noynoy Aquino on the issue. Now that Kris Aquino has humbled down and apologized to both Ruffa and Annabelle Rama, only an apology coming from the Gutierrez family to Noynoy Aquino especially, will close this issue.

Here is what I think of this: Kris Aquino is tactless and that’s a given. She’s born with the gift of gab and is perfect to host any talk show. She is fearless, bold, articulate, and intelligent. But she is also sensitive and quick to ask for forgiveness once she realizes that she has crossed the line and has hurt someone. Kris tells us as it is – because she’s honest and straight forward. Hence, the title Queen of All Media. On the other hand, Ruffa, who is gentle, sensitive, and emotional, is also as smart and makes a lot of sense in her comments but a no match to gabbers like Kris and Boy. What she needs is not a talk show like The Buzz but a beauty show where she can show her own expertise. But then when is Ruffa going to be independent? When can she learn to fly on her own? Has she ever tried thinking on her own without Annabelle dictating everything to her? But then I also understand that it must be hard to have a mother like Annabelle who wouldn’t let her children go and grow up.

I’ve seen so many talk shows and some of them are really brutal. In case you have not seen one, a talk show in the US called “The View” is a very good example. The four women hosting the show chats, discuss, and argue with each other and sometimes I wonder if this or that host will still show up the next day. But off air, they all claim that they have camaraderie and hangs out together as friends. To them, the talk show is just a job that they have to do well.

Ruffa Gutierrez accepts Kris Aquino's apology

All is well that ends well. Kris apologized, Ruffa accepted. Erwin Santiago/PEP reports:

Matatandaang pagkatapos ng napaulat na pagwu-walkout ni Ruffa sa The Buzz noong Linggo, March 7, ay agad na humingi ng paumanhin si Kris sa kanya at sa pamilya nito. Ito ay kaugnay ng pagpaparinig diumano ni Kris sa kanya sa "P.O.V." segment ng The Buzz noong araw na yun. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Unang humingi ng paumanhin si Kris kay Ruffa through online, sa pamamagitan ng text message na ipinadala niya sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na nailathala ng madaling-araw ng March 8. (CLICK HERE to read related story.) Pangalawa, sa pamamagitan ng pagpapa-interview sa TV kahapon. At pangatlo, sa pamamagitan ng print na lumabas ngayong araw, March 9.


Sa panayam ng GMA News kay Kris kahapon, March 8, sinabi niyang pinanood niyang muli ang video ng episode ng The Buzz noong Linggo kung saan nagsimula ang isyu sa kanila ni Ruffa.

"I wanted to make sure na nung pinanood ko sarili ko, ako mismo, as a viewer, mapi-feel ko na affectionate naman yung teasing. Nung sinabi ko na, 'Aminin mo, iba talaga ang level ng saya dito,' parang ang ibig kong sabihin do'n is mami-miss mo rin kami talaga,'" paglilinaw niya.

Ayon kay Kris, pinanood din daw ng mga kapatid niya ang tape ng naturang episode The Buzz at isang importanteng bagay raw ang ipinunto ng mga ito sa kanya.

"Ang sinabi ni Ate [Ballsy], 'Siguro Krissy dapat i-consider mo rin what it's like to be saying goodbye. And siguro on our family's end, kung tayo naka-cause ng pain para sa kanila, or nabigyan sila ng stress dahil sa hindi mo naman sinasadyang nagawa, take it upon yourself and do this for Mom,' sabi ng ate pa," kuwento ng bunsong anak nina former President Cory Aquino at former Senator Ninoy Aquino.

Ipinarating din ni Kris ang kanyang kagustuhan na magkaayos na sila ni Ruffa at ng pamilya nito.

"Kung ako po, bilang miyembro ng pamilya Aquino, nakasakit sa damdamin nila, ng mga Gutierrez, pinapaabot ko po, on behalf of my family, wala po talaga kaming masamang intensiyon and bukas na bukas po sa kalooban ko na sana maging magkaibigan pa kami ni Ruffa, most especially," pahayag niya.

Naiintindihan din daw ni Kris kung bakit nakapagbitiw ng masasakit na salita ang ina ni Ruffa na si Annabelle Rama laban sa kanya at maging sa kapatid niyang si Noynoy Aquino. Sa panayam kasi ni Annabelle sa Showbiz Central noong Linggo rin ay nanawagan ito na huwag iboto si Noynoy bilang presidente dahil hindi pa man daw ito nananalo ay "mayabang" na si Kris.

Pero ayon kay Kris, "Kung anuman po ang nasabi ni Tita Annabelle laban kay Noy, that's why we live in a democracy." Sa text message na ipinadala niya sa PEP ay sinabi rin niyang hindi siya mayabang kaya nagpapakumbaba siya.

Sa huli ay nagbigay ng mensahe si Kris para kay Ruffa.

Aniya, "Ruffa, sasabihin ko lang sa 'yo, gusto kong humingi ng pasensiya sa 'yo kung sa panahon na kailangan mo sanang mas maging maunawain ako at maging mas tahimik, hindi ko nagawa 'yon para sa 'yo. Pero buong-buo, galing sa puso ko, na hinahangad ko all your success in this world."

RUFFA SPEAKS UP. Kaninang hapon, March 9, ay nagpaunlak naman na ng interview si Ruffa sa TV crew ng ABS-CBN at GMA-7. Dito ay malugod na tinanggap ni Ruffa ang apology ni Kris.

"I do appreciate and accept Kris's apology," nakangiting sabi ni Ruffa sa panayam sa kanya ng TV Patrol World.

Aniya pa, "Ako naman, you know, I'm a very fun-loving individual at  kaibigan ko rin naman si Kris, and I have the highest respect for her. I know that we love each other, and I know that we've been friends for a long, long time."

Nakausap ng media si Ruffa kaninang hapon, March 9, sa first taping day niya bilang judge ng Talentadong Pinoy sa Skydome sa SM North Edsa. Ang Talentadong Pinoy ay isa sa mga programang gagawin ni Ruffa sa exclusive contract na pinirmahan niya sa TV5.

Inamin din ni Ruffa na nasaktan siya sa mga "parinig" sa kanya ni Kris sa "P.O.V." segment ng The Buzz noong Linggo na naging dahilan ng kanyang pag-iyak.

"Medyo nasaktan lang ako no'n kasi dun sa mga parinig niya na, 'O, you know, mahal na mahal ako ng mga taga-Laoag, 70 percent ng mga tao nakikita ako dito...' Parang pinapalabas niya na walang manonood sa akin sa TV5," saad ni Ruffa, na nakatakdang lumipat sa TV5 bago matapos ang buwang ito.

Pero nilinaw ng TV-host actress na hindi siya nag-walkout gaya ng mga lumabas na report.

Kris Aquino tactless but not a bad person

For those who are as tackless as Kris, you will understand Kris better. But one thing why Kris' attitude is always forgiven is her quickness to ask for forgiveness, humbling herself right after she realizes she's hurt someone and that is admirable. On the other hand, it's in Ruffa's nature to be gentle and harmless but she should never allow herself to be intimidated by Kris because anywhere she'll go in showbiz, there will always be someone with Kris-like attitude. But I've watched every episode of The Buzz and I can tell that Ruffa do make a lot of sense in her comments. She's not dumb. She's not stupid either. She just know how to carry herself well at all time.

If I may borrow some comments from MADER BIBS:

I admire you Kris for taking the initiative to clear out the issues between you and Ruffa. I hope this would end the misunderstanding.

Tiana wrote:
I admire Kris' humility. For me, there was nothing wrong with what she said. And yet because some people were displeased (or should I say making a big deal out of nothing just to create controversy hoping that it would work to their advantage), Kris went out of her way to say sorry. Call her maarte, tactless, etc. but for me, Kris is one of the sincerest, most admirable, generous and professional people from the entertainment industry. God bless you and your family, Kris! We love you!

This is in reply to the one who made a comment regarding the alleged "deliberate alienation" ni Kris kay Ruffa sa the Buzz. POV is a segment specially designed for free exchange of views and opinions. If you think Kris made Ruffa look dumb, that's your opinion. But it's not Kris' fault. It is Ruffa's own look-out to keep up with Kris' wit. Look at Boy. "Nagbabarahan" din sila ni Kris if that's how you call it. But professional and intelligent as he is, Boy is able to keep up with her. The problem with Ruffa is she just can't. She still has so much to learn esp when it comes to hosting a talkshow. Likewise, the problem with Pinoys is that we can't seem to accept a person's frankness. We always take things personally. We can't discuss issues without feeling as if they're directed against us. Lastly, I wish people will take this issue in a mature and professional way. There really is no issue to begin with. People are just overreacting to something and for what reason - gimmick? politics? only the ones concerned know. God bless everyone.

Kris Aquino's Statement Tonight
>> Monday, March 8, 2010

I had dinner with Noy tonight after his tv commercial shoot.
He told me di raw ba pwede na may quiet Sunday kami?
And he asked why sya nadamay when he's not even part of the Buzz
I would like to extend a loving hug to Ruffa.
I viewed the tape and although I still feel I gave my comment with affection.
Maybe it made her feel even worse because she's moving in a new direction.
We had what I believed was a good working relationship in the almost 2 years we were together on the Buzz.
I can also understand why Ruffa's mom dislikes Noynoy and my family.
Maybe because of association and our vocal proclamation of admiration for Dingdong.
And his selfless contribution to help Noy's presidential bid.
It is with Ruffa that I enjoyed a healthy working relationship with.
And I only have good words to say about her.
To Ruffa, I sincerely apologize for causing you hurt.
My brother Noynoy would like to add that we live in a democracy.
One where we are very free to make our own choice for president.
This text came from my sister Pinky : Tomorrow is Women's day.
And March is women's month. Fyi, it was mom who passed laws making this possible.
(Proclamation No. 224 and 227, both signed in March 1988).
And RA 6949 (signed April 1990 - declares March 8 as National Women's Day.
We celebrate women who triumphed despite odds and need to look at ways to further improve.
That's why I want Ruffa to have a great career ahead of her because she is a woman.
Raising two beautiful daughters, and I champion all women who triumph despite the odds.
Just like my own mom.
Noy told me in any election, we'll have our share of supporters and harshest critics.
And if you can't take the heat, then politics isn't for you.
As a woman, and as Ruffa's mom and the lola of Lorin and Venice, I respect you Tita Anabelle.
And on behalf of our family, I apologize for the distress we caused yours.
Hindi po ako mayabang, kaya ako nagpapakumbaba ngayon.
On a last note, I promised Noy that if he does WIN, and I'm a cause of stress for him and his presidency..
I will gladly take my two boys to live anywhere there's TFC.
So that I can continue to work but with our Overseas Filipino brothers and sisters.
Of course Noy said - dinner daw yun - hindi teleserye ko.
I love my family and I'm so grateful to have such a supportive and grounded brother and sisters,
Who have learned to love me for what I am.

Ruffa Gutierrez walks out, Kris Aquino apologizes

First, watch what happened that made Ruffa walk out from The Buzz. Read also the article here:



Then, Annabelle Rama lambasts Kris:


Kris Aquino apologizes to Ruffa Gutierrez:
Erwin Santiago/PEP

Pagkatapos ng pahayag ni Annabelle Rama sa Showbiz Central ay inabangan ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kung sasagutin ni Kris Aquino sa The Buzz ang mga maaanghang na salita ng ina ni Ruffa Gutierrez laban sa kanya. Pero hanggang matapos ang programa ay hindi na naringgan ng anumang pahayag si Kris tungkol sa isyu.

Pero bago matapos ang araw ay nagpadala si Kris ng tinatawag niyang "statement for PEP," sa pamamagitan ng magkakasunod na text messages sa PEP editor na si Jo-Ann Maglipon. Ito ay kaugnay sa nangyari sa kanila ni Ruffa sa The Buzz at sa naging pahayag ng ina nito sa Showbiz Central.

Narito ang buong pahayag ni Kris sa PEP—na walang pagbabago, liban sa ilang paglilinaw ng mga petsa at pangalan na naka-bracket:

Anabelle Rama confirms John Lloyd Cruz is courting Ruffa Gutierrez

MANILA – After much resistance, talent manager Annabelle Rama has finally “surrendered” to Ruffa Gutierrez and John Lloyd Cruz's alleged budding romance.

During her guesting on the 100th episode of morning show “Ruffa and Ai” Monday, Rama gave the young actor a go-signal to pursue her only daughter.

Rama said Cruz, who is nine years younger than Ruffa, has already proven his sincerity and supposed feelings for the actress during their dinner at the Gutierrezes' residence two weeks ago.

“Tinanong ko si John Lloyd sa bahay namin noong dinner, lumabas ang mga [ibang] artista, ‘Bakit hindi ka manligaw sa mga artista na yan? Maganda lahat iyan.’ Tawa lang siya ng tawa. Ibig sabhin gusto niya talaga si Ruffa. Sana huwag mong lokohin si Ruffa. Gusto mo talaga siya, okay lang,” Rama said.

Rama, who is known for her frankness, was also impressed by the young actor. She praised Cruz’s courage, saying that, despite her strong objection, he continuously pursues the “Ruffa and Ai” host.

“Napakatapang mong ligawan si Ruffa kaya ako bilib sa iyo. Maski ayoko sa iyo, ang kulit kulit mo kay Ruffa,” she said.

There was another reason that prompted Rama to change her mind. She disclosed that it was hard for her to ignore the “twinkle” in both Ruffa and Cruz’s eyes when they were together.

“Ruffa, kaya ako nag-surrender sa iyo, nakikita ko ang mata mo [at] mata ni John Lloyd, nag-twi-twinkle twinkle,” she said.

She also rebuffed the “we’re-just-friends” public pronouncement of the two, predicting that their friendship will eventually lead to something more.

Rama gave her go-signal under one condition though – for Cruz not to hurt her daughter.

“Surrender na ang bandera ng Bisaya, binababa ko na. Itataas ko na [ang] kamay [ko], pati paa [ko] itataas ko na,” she joked.

The talent manager also stated that she will no longer meddle with the decisions of her 35-year-old daughter.

“Kung saan ka masaya, bahala ka sa buhay mo. Nagsawa na ako sa kaka-advice sa iyo. Pati mga apo ko nagagalit na din sa akin. Kung ano man ang pinili mong landas konting ingat lang para di ka madapa,” she added. [ABS-CBN]
