Matapostayong papaniwalaangtapos naang tampuhan nila,heto at may part 2 papala ang bangayan.Gimik lang pala yungkanilang pagbabatidahil pareho silangtakot na mag-flopang My Lady Boss.We all thought that MarianRivera and producerMother Lily Monteverde havepatched things up at the pressconof “My Lady Boss”.Diyos Ko, day, may picturetaking pang magkayakap pasila, yun pala peke naman.May kesyo pang anakdaw niya si Marian at di puwedengmagalit siya rito. Hetonga ngayon, lumabas din angtotoo.Sabi ni Mother Lily: “Totell you honestly, masyadoakong nasaktan sa nangyaringito sa Metro Manila Film Fest.This is the first time in yearsna walang solo entry ang Regalsa MMFF. Kahit ang entertainmentpress, they havebeen calling and askingme: Why? So, I thought,must I tell a lie… again?I don’t want to pretendanymore. Should Ikeep protecting my stars?Ano ba ang magiging kalagayannamin, ng Regal,kung ganun? I am a cancerpatient, so, I want to havepeace of mind. I want to justifymy conscience, what have Idone wrong? I don’t know, butGod may call me anytime, so, Iwant to go in peace naman.And so, I might as well revealthe things that happenedbetween me and Marian Rivera.For the record, I have nothingagainst her managementteam, Triple A, or its head, mylongtime best friend Tony Tuviera.I have so much love andrespect for Tony.But this is what reallyhappened. Three weeks ago, Icalled Triple A’s Rams Davidand told him we have an offerfor Marian to do a MMFF entrywith Judy Ann Santos.Matagal bago kami nakakuhang appointment kayRams. Rams, my daughterRoselle, and I had a meeting,9 a.m., at Starbucks in Greenhillstwo weeks after my firstcall. We talked and laid outRegal’s plans. That time, Marianwas in the U.S. Rams toldme he will get back to me. Henever did.So, I called him a weekafter and asked what our statuswas. According to Ramsand I quote: ‘Gusto ni Marianng solo movie.’ In fairness toJuday and Tito Alfie Lorenzo,they never turned me down.Juday said she wants toread the script first. Na tamalang naman. Ready namanang script namin. But Mariandidn’t want to do it. Why? Becauseshe wants a solo movie.Marian breached her Regalcontract twice. First, when sheshot for this movie, My LadyBoss, without Regal’s knowledge.Nakapag-first shootingday na sila nung malamannamin. So, out of pakikisama,Regal decided to justco-produce this movie withGMA Films. Sinasabi ni Marianna pinagbigyan pa nila akobecause I requested that theydon’t field Kung Fu Divas inthe MMFF? Hindi ako nagrequest.Ipinatigil ko becauseshe did that movie with AiAidelas Alas without Regal’sconsent. Maging totoo langsana tayo.Marian, you should tellthe truth. You breached yourcontract with Regal two times.I really feel sad. Hindi akogalit. Ayaw ko lang na ako paang lumalabas na sinungaling.I just don’t want to lie andkeep my star’s image clean…at Regal’s expense. We mustbe true to ourselves and talkabout truth here. ’Yun lang po.Salamat po!”So there!G Toengi at pangalawang pamilyasa Pilipinas na maninirahanMARIING itinanggi ngbalikbayan actress na si GTongi ang ispekulasyon namay problema o hiwalay nasila ng foreigner-husbandna si Tim Walters kaya siyanasa bansa.Sa packetpresscon-cumcelebrationng20th year niG sa showbizkahapon, nilinawniya namasaya sila ngpamilya niyaat katunayan,lahat daw sila,pati si Tim,naririto sa ’Pinas.Sabaysabaydaw silangumuwilast year--siya,si Tim at angdalawa nilanganak na edadseven (girl) atfive (boy)--dalaang 70 balikbayanboxes.Paliwanagni G, babalikdin silain due timesa Los Angeles,Calfornia,pero for now,napagkasunduannilangmag-asawa na dito muna sa’Pinas manirahan at papagaralinang dalawang bagets.Pag-amin ng aktres,ibang-iba ang paglaki ngmga bata sa Amerika.

Una na yung pinaboranng korte si Benjie Paras noon na sa kanya mapuntaang pangangalaga ng dalawa nilang anak, who atpresent time ay malalaki na at papasok na showbiz.Ito sina Andre at Kobe na parehong star in theirown right.Kung noon, malabo sa publiko yung rason ngpaghihiwalay nina Benjie at Jackie, it is slowly takingshape now.
