nOVEMBER <strong>2010</strong> The North American <strong>Filipino</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

19<br />

Venus Raj rattled by<br />

opportunities coming her way<br />

Venus Raj<br />

After admitting that she has been<br />

receiving overtures from the country’s<br />

three biggest networks, Miss Universe<br />

<strong>2010</strong> fourth runner-up Venus Raj now<br />

claims she is a bit uncomfortable with<br />

the attention she’s been getting.<br />

During a recent press gathering<br />

for her newest product endorsement,<br />

the beauty queen shared, "Actually,<br />

ang dami-dami kong gustong gawin.<br />

Parang sa sobrang dami po, hindi ko<br />

na po alam kung ano uunahin ko."<br />

Raj said she is still undecided<br />

about a specific career path even as<br />

she disclosed that she still has to<br />

honor her year-long contract with<br />

Binibining Pilipinas Charities<br />

Incorporated.<br />

Then again, Raj eagerly declared<br />

that she’d probably start with hosting<br />

Clothing for the entire family, outerwear, giftware,<br />

household goods, and much more!<br />

450 Kensington, Westmount<br />

Between Côte-St-Antoine and Sherbrooke<br />

and then venture into acting later on.<br />

“Well, ang hosting po kasi,<br />

maganda siya kasi light lang. Parang<br />

napapakita mo kung anong<br />

personality meron ka. Yung acting,<br />

something na challenging, e,” she<br />

explained.<br />

“Bibigyan ka ng role na hindi<br />

naman ikaw 'yon. Pero it's something<br />

challenging na kaya ko din palang<br />

maging ibang tao. Pero hindi ko alam<br />

kung kaya ko siya. Pero feeling ko,<br />

kakayanin ko siya!"<br />

Rumored to have been mulled<br />

over as a possible co-host on the hit<br />

primetime show of controversial<br />

comedian Willie Revillame on TV5, Raj<br />

said she already let go of the notion<br />

after seeing Valenzuela Councilor<br />

Shalani Soledad being introduced as<br />

a host on the show recently.<br />

“’Nung napanood ko, 'Ay, siguro<br />

yun na yung bagong host nila!' So,<br />

okay na din po ako. At least, may final<br />

decision na," said she.<br />

Raj is also aware of the pitfalls of<br />

showbiz.<br />

"Dati akala ko pag lumabas na<br />

news about sa isang artista, totoo. So,<br />

maniniwala ako. So, si ganito, ganito,<br />

ganyan.<br />

"Pero ngayon na alam ko na yung<br />

about show business—hindi pala<br />

lahat ng news na lumalabas totoo."<br />

But she is confident that she won’t<br />

succumb to any of it.<br />

"As long as alam mong hindi mo<br />

ginawa, or alam mo kung ano<br />

ginagawa mo talaga, hindi mo<br />

kailangang magpaapekto." a<br />

No gag order yet vs Kris<br />

Kris Aquino<br />

The Makati Regional Trial Court<br />

Branch 140 on Friday morning did not<br />

issue a gag order against TV hostactress<br />

Kris Aquino after her husband,<br />

star cager James Yap, filed a motion to<br />

request the issuance of the same.<br />

Yap’s legal counsel, lawyer Lorna<br />

Kapunan, on Wednesday lamented that<br />

Aquino has been using the media to<br />

voice out her concerns with regard to<br />

Yap. She pointed out that this practice is<br />

unfair for her client since Yap doesn’t<br />

have the same access to media as<br />

Aquino.<br />

At the Friday hearing, Yap's lawyer,<br />

Atty. Lino Kapunan, admitted that the<br />

judge handling the petition pointed out<br />

that Aquino was not the only one giving<br />

her comments to the media about the<br />

annulment case.<br />

The judge also raised the issue<br />

wherein Atty. Lorna Kapunan also<br />

discussed the merits of the case during<br />

her interviews with TV networks GMA-7<br />

and TV-5.<br />

Aquino's lawyers were not present at<br />

the hearing but earlier advised the judge<br />

that they have a prior engagement.<br />

Aquino's camp also asked the court<br />

Kamilla Almayeva<br />

Immigration Specialist<br />

Immigration Consultants<br />

CSIC Membership #M105899<br />

Calling all Davaoenos<br />

for a 10-day extension to comment on<br />

the matter.<br />

According to Atty. Lino Kapunan, if a<br />

gag order is given, Aquino is banned<br />

from voicing out her concerns over the<br />

case in any form of media including<br />

social media like Facebook or Twitter.<br />

If a gag order is given, both parties<br />

are banned from speaking about the<br />

case. The media can report it but the<br />

parties are banned from commenting on<br />

anything about it.<br />

According to Legal-<br />

Explanations.com, a gag order is the<br />

order issued by a judge prohibiting the<br />

attorney and parties involved in a legal<br />

procedure to disclose or discuss the<br />

matter involved in the case to the public,<br />

when the judge is of the opinion that<br />

such an action may prejudice or<br />

influence the outcome of the trial.<br />

On Wednesday, when sought for<br />

comment about the gag order, the<br />

Queen of All Media countered: “Alam mo<br />

kasi mahirap awayin ang taong<br />

binabayaran ng ex mo. I mean, anything<br />

I say will be misinterpreted.”<br />

Aquino shared that she and Yap<br />

already had a conversation where they<br />

mutually agreed not to talk about each<br />

other in public anymore. She added that<br />

if the court issues a gag order, it will be<br />

their 3-year-old son, baby James, who<br />

will benefit from it.<br />

“Kung ano, ano naman ang ibinato<br />

na ng kampo ni James, wala akong<br />

magagawa. So ngayon kung feeling nila<br />

sila ang natatamaan, good. It’s a<br />

blessing for Bimby. Because ultimately<br />

ang kailangang protektahan ‘yong<br />

feelings ng anak ko,” Aquino said.’ a<br />
