Ex-PBB housemate arrested for ‘obstruction of justice’ in human trafficking case

CALAPAN CITY – A former “housemate” of popular reality television show Pinoy Big Brother was arrested last Monday (November 18) morning by elements of Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) of the Philippine National Police (PNP) for “obstruction of justice” after she tried to help in the escape of a suspect in the supposed “human trafficking” case here.

Christine Marie Gonzales, also known as “Beauty” during her stint as housemate in the first staging of PBB in ABS-CBN, is now being held in custody of PNP-CIDG Region 4B unit in this city following her arrest by authorities at about 2:00 AM of November 18 in Batangas City port.

According to Police Supt. Ruel Atayde Ferrer, head of CIDG-MIMAROPA (Region 4B), they detained Gonzales and a criminal case for “obstruction of justice” is now being prepared by police investigators after she tried to help in the escape of his brother, Michael Ryan Gonzales, who was arrested last November 14 for alleged “human trafficking” case.

On a tip by informants from a CIDG unit in Visayas area, Ferrer’s men, led by deputy chief of CIDG-MIMAROPA and Oriental Mindoro CIDG head P/Chief Insp. Angela K. Trajano, waylaid a bus load of 38 men and four minors last Thursday in Calapan City port which are about to be boarded on a departing roll-on-roll-off boat.

MOMMY DIVINE walang angal sa relasyong SARAH-MATTEO, pero…

MERON na namang mala-king concert si Sarah Geronimo at magiging guests daw niya rito sina Regine Velasquez and Lea Salonga, among others.

Sinubukan daw ng producers na mai-guest si Matteo Guidicelli na matagal nang nili-link sa singer-actress pero hindi raw ito pumuwede.

But everytime na napag-uusapan ang concert ni Sarah, palaging isinasama ang pangalan ni Matteo – kung ito raw ba ay bigla na lang sisipot or what. In short, maliwanag na nagagamit ang pangalan ni Matteo sa promo ng concert niya. 

Natatawa na lang kami dahil hindi namin nariringgan ngayon ng pagpalag si Mommy Divine, ang istriktong ina ni Sarah, sa promo slant nila.

Normally kasi ay palaging may violent reaction ang nanay ni Sarah lalo pa’t mga lalaki ang naikakabit sa pangalan ng anak. Feeling ng nanay ni Sarah kasi ay ginagamit lamang nila si Sarah para pag-usapan.

Pero bakit ngayon – biglang tahimik ang ina ni Sarah? Dahil alam niyang this time ay kailangan na ng anak niya ng lahat ng klase ng tulong para lamang tauhin ang concert nito?

“Kung si Sarah lang, baka langawin ang show niya dahil sawang-sawa na ang mga tao sa style niya as a performer kaya kinuha nila ang malalaking pangalan like Regine and Lea.

Phil Younghusband Reportedly Affected By Rumored Sex Video Between Angel Locsin And Chito Miranda

By now, it has already been official that Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband have ended their two-year relationship. Angel confirmed the reports through a brief message posted in her social media account, while Phil released a short official statement to the press.

But showbiz bystanders and observers would not like to stop there. Naturally, they wanted to know the real cause of the breakup between the couple. Angel and Phil both refused to divulge more details as they invoked their privacy. That is why the gossip mill has again started to take its course.

So what could have possibly caused the silent but eventually talked about breakup between the two? Several showbiz insiders and sources claim that Phil must have felt threatened and insulted by reports that Angel supposedly had several recorded sex videos with former boyfriend Chito Miranda.

Solenn Heussaff Admits To Having Nude Photos!

Solenn Heussaff admits to having nude photos, but she made it clear that those are hidden away in a vault. Solenn Heussaff said she did it just to have a souvenir of how good her body is when she gets old believing she will physically and biologically not be as fit as when one is young. The Seduction star is also willing to do a nude painting session but she said it must be done abroad as the Philippines still has qualms about the issue of nudity, being a conservative country (char!). 

 Solenn Heussaff also admitted to be in a two-year live-in relationship with his Argentinian boyfriend. The French-Filipina actress also is proud to say that she is already 28 years old unlike so many other actresses who hides their own true age just as to pass off as young. The frank and straight-talking actress will next be seen on the big screen with Richard Gutierrez and his GF Sarah Lahbati in Seduction directed by Peque Gallaga and showing on January 30, 2013 in theaters near you.

Freddie and Jovi romance is 'not about money'

The parents of singer Freddie Aguilar’s 16-year-old girlfriend, Jovi Gatdula, have given their blessing to the May-December romance.

In an interview on “Buzz ng Bayan” on Sunday, October 27, Joel and Violeta explained that they support their daughter’s relationship with Freddie because they are after the girl’s happiness.

“Kung pipigilan mo, lalo pong magwawala iyan eh. Baka mas mapariwara ang buhay. Kaya sabi ko, kung ano ang gusto niya, 'Sige, supportahan na lang kita,” Violeta said.

Good influence

She also shared that Freddie is a good influence on their daughter.

“Malaki po ang pinagbago. Natutuwa ako sa pinagbago ng batang iyon. Mas nag-mature na siya, mas may paggalang na siya sa amin ngayon.”

While she and her husband share their daughter’s happiness, Violeta admits she is hurt over accusations that they are after Freddie’s money.

“Ang tingin ng mga tao sa amin, mukhang pera kami, na kaya ang anak namin ay nandoon dahil sa pera. Hindi po. Hindi namin hinahangad ang pera. Parang insulto na rin sa kahirapan namin. Ayaw ko nang may naririnig ng kung ano-ano. Masakit kasi hindi naman totoo.”

Joel added, “Kinukutya kami ng kapwa tao. Ano ba kasi kaso ng anak ko sa gobyerno? Nangutang ba ang anak ko sa gobyerno? Pinaglalabanan namin, iniiwasan ko rin kasi ayaw ko makasakit ng kapwa tao.”

The couple hopes Freddie and their daughter will prove that the accusations against them are wrong.

“Magsama sila ng maayos. At sana kung magkakaproblema, ayusin nila. Tibayan nila ang pagsasama nila at ipakita nila sa mundo na talagang nagmamahalan sila,” Violeta said.

In a live interview on “Buzz ng Bayan,” Freddie, accompanied by his girlfriend, revealed that he didn’t plan on continuing their relationship if her parents disapproved it.

“Sabi ko ‘Babe, sabihin na natin sa magulang mo na meron na tayong relasyong dalawa kasi iyon ang tama. Kung kinontra ako ng tatay at nanay niya, hindi ko na itutuloy. Kasi alam ko nang hindi tama kung ayaw akong tanggapin ng magulang niya. (Kung hindi tinanggap) Sasabihin ko na ‘Maghintay muna tayo kasi hindi tama na walang blessing.'" 

Janelle moves on without Ramgen

Two years after the gruesome death of her boyfriend Ramgen Revilla on October 28, 2011, Janelle Manahan has moved on.

Janelle’s photos on her Twitter and Instagram accounts don’t show any sign of a face that had undergone several facial surgeries and electrical stimulation therapy after a bullet went through her head the day an assassin barged into the room of the 23-year-old son of former Senator Ramon Revilla, Sr. in Paranaque and killed him with three gunshots and stabbed him 11 times.

Though she thought of dying as she bled profusely, the then 22-year-old girlfriend of Ramgen was able to call a friend, Wendell Cunanan, who reported the incident to Patrol 117.

“Actually until now I cannot believe na nangyari sa'kin 'yon. Kasi before, I only see it in the movies. I never thought that it would happen to me,” she told Yahoo Philippines OMG. 

Life goes on for Janelle. Though she admits looking back still brings fear, she just feels blessed to survive death.

“Akala ko last day ko na 'yon. I'm very thankful that I was given a chance to live my life again and be able to survive that tragic event.”

New life, new love

Although Ramgen was not as famous as his half-brother—actor-politician Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr.—his sudden death unearthed a possible sibling rivalry that dragged his two siblings, Ramon Joseph (RJ) and Ramona, as principal suspects.

RJ has since been in prison while Ramona has fled to Turkey before she was put on the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) Wanted List.

And although she swore not to have a boyfriend after Ramgen’s death, Janelle now faces a new life with her new love.

“Yeah. I've moved on na din on that aspect [relationship]. But as much as possible, since the guy is very private, I try to keep kung sino siya.”

Janelle shared that she and her boyfriend have been friends since last year, but officially became a couple early this year.

Building her future ‘online’

The 24-year-old murder survivor has started her own online clothing company—AsteriAsia, for which she designs and sells clothes for women.

“Startup pa lang siya but hopefully, in the future sana lumaki. It's doing well. Actually before we only sell dresses. But after we saw the demand for street wear like statement and graphic shirts and denim, for our next collection this November 'yun ang ilalabas namin.”

What started as a childhood memory of a young Janelle staying in her aunt’s fabric factory became an inspiration to build her own business.

“It's what I want to do. Feeling ko hindi ako nagwo-work.”

Phil on Angel: We remain friends

Azkals football player Phil Younghusband finally broke his silence after Angel Locsin spoke up regarding their split.

Phil posted a photo with the caption “Thank you for your support” in his Instagram account on Sunday, October 27. The rest of the message read:

"Hi everyone, in lieu of the separation, I would like to thank you for all your support throughout our relationship. It was definitely a happy one, as much as we tried to make it work we would just like to request for all of you to support us in our choice and that we respect one another in keeping our personal lives to ourselves. It is a sensitive matter and I personally apologize for taking time to let everyone know about the situation. I am grateful for your support and we hope you continue to support both of us in our each of our endeavors." 

Phil explained that no one was to blame for the breakup.

"Neither of us regret the time we spent together, we enjoyed each others company and really made the most of it. There are no faults in this, it was not an issue of who did or didnt do something, it was a mutual decision and although it was difficult we just both felt that this would be the best thing to do given our circumstances. Although we have parted as a couple, we are thankful that we remain friends and we only wish the best for each other. Thank you very much for your support." Despite this, many of Angel and Phil’s supporters hope for a reconciliation. The two officially became a couple in May 2012, a year after Phil asked Angel to be his Valentine date.

Many celebrities are starting to air their voices regarding the current controversy over the pork barrel scam. This is not surprising because most of them are among the biggest taxpayers in the country. TV and movie stars could not complain about how hefty their taxes are and how they are left with no choice but to always pay in full and on time or else they could suffer the media backlash.

Derek on Cristine’s sex video rumor: So what?

“It’s not true!” was Derek Ramsay’s emphatic response to rumors that his girlfriend Cristine Reyes and her ex-boyfriend Rayver Cruz had a sex video on the Internet. A recent blast of spam text messages from anonymous phone numbers claimed that the video could be viewed in the provided link.

“My friends and I got the text message, too. I just laughed it off, and didn’t even bother opening it. I knew it was a text blast,” Derek told reporters during a recent media gathering for Dunkin’ Donuts, which he endorses. “[Cristine and I] didn’t talk about it because there was no need to. I don’t even know if she’s aware of it.”

And even if there was, indeed, such a sex video circulating online, Derek confidently declared that he couldn’t care less. “It doesn’t matter; past is past,” he said, adding that he had nothing to say to those spreading the gossip, and that he trusted Cristine fully.

Cristine seemed just as unperturbed. “It’s weird nga. But wala naman,” the actress told Inquirer via SMS.

Derek—who swore he would never date anyone from show biz again after breaking up with actress Angelica Panganiban—“ate his words,” by confirming a romantic relationship with Cristine in August. They starred in the 2011 movie, “No Other Woman.”

While things are going well for the couple, the 36-year-old hunk said their hectic schedules have been preventing them from spending more quality time with each other.

Megan Young wins Miss World 2013

Philippines’ bet Megan Young becomes the "most beautiful woman in the world" as she wins the Miss World 2013 title during the pageant's coronation night on September 28 (Saturday) in Bogor, Indonesia.

This year’s highly controversial pageant just made history after it installed the first-ever Filipina to win the coveted blue crown—bringing virtual chills and cheers online and in the rest of the Philippines, the country that she perfectly represented in what has been dubbed as "the oldest surviving beauty pageant in the world."

New Miss World, Megan Young (C) from the Philippines is congratulated by outgoing Miss World Yu Wenxia (L) after winning the crown, at the Miss World 2013 finals in Nusa Dua, on Indonesia's resort island of Bali, September 28, 2013. (AFP News)

The 23-year-old Filipino-American actress and TV host presented the aura of a Miss World-in-the-making. Ultimately, Megan's winning answer to the question on why she should win Miss World, "Miss World for me treasures the core value of humanity and that guides her into understanding people, why they act the way that they do, how they're living their lives and I will use these core values in my understanding not only in helping others but to show other people how they can understand others, to help others so that as one, together, we shall help society," won over the answers of Miss Ghana Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter who placed third in the competition and Miss France Marine Lorphelin who placed second.

Fearless forecast becomes reality

The Miss World organizers have placed Megan in three of the five challenge events (formerly called fast track): first in the Top Model category, fourth in the Multimedia category, and fifth among the 11 finalists in the Beach Fashion Final.

While they no longer give the challenge events winners a sure spot in the final round, the winners have been awarded bonus points to their preliminary scores.

Years in the making

Megan Young goes down in history as the first-ever Filipina to win Miss World—breaking a popular urban legend that no Filipina will ever win the title.

Despite the Philippines' successful finish in Miss Universe and other international beauty tilts, the Miss World crown has been elusive until 62 years later. (Miss World was reportedly founded in 1951)

In 2011, the Philippines almost won the title when Gwendoline Ruais placed second to Ivian Sarcos of Venezuela. In 2012, Queneerich Rehman made it to the Top 15 while in 1993, Sharmaine "Ruffa" Gutierrez placed 2nd runner-up to Lisa Hanna of Jamaica.

Raymart Santiago at Claudine Barretto, asahan na ang matinding bakbakan sa korte!

MAS MATINDI pala itong buwelta ni Raymart Santiago kay Claudine Barretto na nagsampa sa kanya ng Anti-Violence Against Women and Children.

Kumpleto ang mga ebidensyang nakapaloob sa counter-affidavit niya na isinumite kamakailan lang para mapatunayang hindi niya inaabuso o sinasaktan si Claudine, sa halip siya pa nga raw nabugbog at nasaktan.

May mga litrato pa siya na mugto ang mata, gula-gulanit ang damit na parang siya pa ang sinasaktan ni Claudine.

Ang mas matindi pa, may video pa siya at litrato na kuha ng mga kasambahay niya na talagang nagdu-droga raw si Claudine?

Nu’ng nag-file nga si Raymart ng counter-affidavit niya, kasama nito ang ilang kasambahay niya na nagkuha raw ng mga ginagawang pagdudroga umano ni Claudine.

Ang matindi pa, pati sina Gretchen, Marjorie at ang kapatid pa nilang si JJ Barretto, meron ding statement na nagsasabing mentally-ill daw si Claudine.

Kaya lang, hindi yata ma-interview si Gretchen tungkol diyan dahil nasa London ito ngayon para ihatid si Dominique na mag-aaral du’n.

Kaya matinding bakbakan sa korte ‘yan, dahil tiyak na may sagot din diyan si Claudine.

Matagal pa ‘tong drama ng mag-asawang ito.

Baka nga kalakihan na ito ng dalawang anak nila na nadamay sa gulo nila.

Hay, naku! Merong kuwento diyan ang Startalk kaya abangan n’yo na lang bukas!

MAY SPECIAL feature din pala kami sa nakaraang Cosmo Bachelor Bash na karamihan sa mga tinilian nang husto roon ay mga Kapuso hunk natin.

Super tili ang mga fans sa tandem nina Tom Rodriguez at Dennis Trillo na sobrang sanay na sanay na sa kanilang loveteam, huh!

Suportado pa sila roon ni Carla Abellana na tuwang-tuwa rin sa pagrampa nila. Kaya nagpapasalamat sila sa suportang ibinigay ng aktres.

Sa October 11 na pala matatapos ang My Husband’s Lover at kasunod nito ay ang malaking concert nila na gagawin sa Araneta Coliseum sa October 12.

Hindi naman nasuportahan ni Kris Bernal si Aljur Abrenica na isa rin sa tinilian nang husto sa Cosmo Bachelor Bash.

Mas okay sana kung nandu’n din si Kris para promo na rin sa programa nilang Prinsesa ng Buhay Ko.

Ang pumunta pala du’n ay si Kylie Padilla na nagbigay-inspirasyon lang kay Aljur, pero hindi na siya nanood.

Ayaw na raw kasi ni Kylie manood ng mga rumarampang lalaking nakahubad. Tama na sigurong si Aljur lang ang nakikita niya. Kaloka!

Si Alden Richards naman pala ang finale ng show at daring din ang ginawa niya.

First time nga raw niyang rumampang naka-sexy shorts at naglandi-landi pa yata du’n ng isang girl.

At least bongga ang mga Kapuso hunks natin na bidang-bida sa nakaraang Cosmo Bachelor Bash na ‘yan.

There were no photos of them together online nor has she revealed his name or even his initials.

Anne Curtis dishes out secrets of ‘refreshing relationship’ with Erwan Heussaff

Even with her busy schedule as an actress, TV host, singer, and endorser, Anne Curtis has managed to keep her relationship with Erwan Heussaff going strong. According to Anne, what essentially makes their relationship tick is how they allow each other to have enough space to do and excel in their own respective areas of expertise.

“I think that plays a big factor and it’s again refreshing for me because as publicly known, most of my relationships have been with people I’ve been paired up with or I’ve worked with. And to have someone who’s outside of the industry, respects what you’re doing [it’s refreshing],” explained the Annebisyosa star.

Anne said she takes comfort in the fact that with Erwan in a different industry as hers, “He doesn’t have to be by your side 24/7.” She continued, “All the more I respect him for that, just the same as I wouldn’t interfere with his food and blogger kind of life. That’s his world.”

As proof of the freedom that they mutually enjoy in their three-year-old relationship, Anne revealed that, unlike her father James Curtis-Smith and best friend and Kapamilya Deal or No Deal host Luis Manzano among others, the viewers of her upcoming E! News feature won’t see Erwan among the interviewees.

Angel Locsin echoes Marian Rivera’s dismay over constant comparisons

Despite incessant comparisons by their respective fans over the years, Toda Max star Angel Locsin maintained that she and Marian Rivera are on good terms. However, she admitted that there was a time that she and Marian were a little aloof around each other.

“Sa amin kasi wala kaming issue. Wala kaming away. Siguro nagkakaroon na lang ng parang medyo naging aloof kami sa isa’t isa kasi laging nako-compare,” confessed Angel in an interview during the press set visit for Toda Max. The comparison between the two actresses began after they both took on the role of the iconic Filipino heroine Darna some years back.

Being pitted against Marian by hardcore fans, Angel said has resigned herself to the thought that “Alam mong iko-compare ng tao talaga kahit anong gawin namin, laging may manlalait sa akin na fan niya, may manlalait sa kanya na fan ko.”

With that, she has asked their respective followers to put their non-existent rivalry to rest. “Sana ‘wag na lang po ganon kasi wala naman pong ginagawa sa akin si Marian. Ako, wala naman ako sanang nagawang masama sa kanya at okay naman siya sa akin,” she added.

Senator Bong Revilla’s plea to public: “Huwag kaming husgahan.”

"Ang hiling ko sa sambayanan, huwag kaming husgahan. Ipapaliwanag namin ito hanggang sa kahuli-hulihang detalye," ani Revilla sa mga reporter, sa ulat na lumabas sa GMA News Online. 

Bukod sa kanya, dalawa pang senador ang sinampahan ng plunder—sina Senator Jinggoy Estrada at Senator Juan Ponce Enrile.

Nang tanungin si Senator Revilla kung paano niya hinaharap ang kasong plunder laban sa kanya, ang himutok ng actor-turned-politician, “Ang sakit.”

He wasn't able to clarify the existence of this photo before.

Jake said he wasn't a celebrity yet during that time. Back then, he and his friends were in a house having a party. They were drunk and the room was so hot, so he decided to take his shirt off.

He didn't, however, explain who the girl was. Jake said he didn't mind the allegations being thrown at him with regards to the photo because it was really nothing to him.

Now that he is a celebrity, Jake knows how to take care of his image and also, how to be a good role model to his fans.

He recently lost some weight because he thinks he doesn't look good on TV anymore. GMA-7 usually issues "fat memos" to artists who they deem is getting too heavy already. Geoff Eigenmann received the said note.

Jake said he also wants to take care of his body better.

Kris Aquino, gumawa ng gulo sa social media!

BILIB KAMI kay Kris Aquino. She can create chaos sa social media without even lifting a finger.

Nag-away-away ang mga tao sa kanyang official fan page site sa Facebook when she posted photos of her while riding an MRT. Nagtalu-talo ang fans and bashers alike niya. 

“Publicity stunt obviously,” sabi ng isang obviously ay hindi kampi kay Kris.

“Gusto nyan lagi napapansin ng publiko,” obserbasyon naman ng isa.

Kinuyog, actually, ang bashers ni Kris. Ang daming nagtanggol sa taklesang TV host.

“2 thumbs up Ms KRIS AQUINO! Ano naman masama sa pagsakay ni Ms.Kris! atleast naranasan nya ang makipagsiksikan sa dami ng tao sa MRT! Malay nga natin baka makatulong sya for the improvement of MRT!

More power and May God Bless you and your family,” one Kris fan said.

Sa kanya rin kasi magbu-boomerang Claudine Barretto, dapat mag-ingat sa binibitawang salita

AND SPEAKING of Claudine Barretto, sana’y inaayos din nito ang pagsasalita ng, “Ayoko na siyang pag-usapan. Hindi naman siya sikat!” referring to ex-hubby Raymart.

Nag-split lang hindi na sikat? Pa’no kung sila pa rin? Maririnig ba natin ‘yon kay Claudine?

Ang pinakamasaklap niyan eh, pa’no kung humirit naman si Raymart ng, “Baket, ikaw? Sikat pa rin ba?”

‘Di ba? ’Yung isang salita na pupuwedeng makalikha ng ingay o gulo, sana’y ‘wag nang ihayag, kasi, kahit ang ibang taong wala namang kinalaman sa kanilang relasyon ay pupuwedeng maghayag ng masakit na opinyon tungkol sa sinabing ‘yon ni Claudine.

Kaya esep-esep din.

Janelle Manahan Is Determined To Seek Justice For Ramgen Revilla

Despite having a new page in her book now, Janelle Manahan is still bent on seeking justice for the killing of her then boyfriend Ramgen Revilla, the half-brother of Senator Bong Revilla.

Her legal counsel, Atty. Argee Guevarra, said Manahan's new business and relationship (DM Sevilla) didn't affect her resolve to seek justice for her slain boyfriend. Manahan is considered the primary witness in the Revilla case. She, too, was a victim of attempted murder.

Guevarra said their camp believed they have a strong case against Ramona Revilla, Ramgen's sister and one of the suspects in the killing. She has since left the country to be with her Turkish husband.

The lawyer revealed Manahan and other key witnesses already submitted their documentary and testimonial evidences--Manahan's witness account, sworn statement of Ronald Ancajas, Ramgen's personal assistant, and Ruel Puzon, who was asked and then failed to kill Ramgen on the first try.

For now, their camp is just waiting for the hearing dates and the response from the defense.

Wally Bayola Taking A Break From ‘Eat Bulaga’ Amid Sex Tape Scandal

Wally Bayola is taking a break from his popular television program Eat Bulaga after a sex scandal involving his co-star.

The popular Filipino comedian was featured in a sex tape allegedly showing him with co-star Yoshika “Yosh” Rivera. The video has created an uproar in the Philippines and threatens to sink Bayola’s career. 

As the scandal heats up, it appears Wally Bayola is trying to avoid the spotlight for a bit. He will be taking an indefinite leave from Eat Bulaga, said Malou Choa-Fagar, the comedian’s business manager.

The show’s executive have denied that Bayola is off the show for good, however.

“Not true,” Malou Fagar, executive producer of Eat Bulaga, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer after reports that Bayola had been fired.

Wally, Eat Bulaga dancer embroiled in sex video scandal

MANILA, Philippines—The rumor mill is heating up again after a sex video allegedly involving comedian Wally Bayola and sexy dancer EB Babe Yosh makes the rounds on the web. 

The 6:14-minute video clip shows a couple, who look like Wally and  EB Babe Yosh, enganged in a steamy sex. 

Wally,41, is a host at popular noontime variety show Eat Bulaga aired Monday through Saturday on GMA-7 television. 

He has five children.

EB Babe Yosh, meanwhile, is a member of Eat Bulaga’s in-house sexy dance group EB Babes. 

The couple on the sex video, towards the end of the clip, looked at the camera and smiled. The guy then gave the girl a peck on the lips. 

Metal nourishes Slapshock, first band under apl’s label

“Nervous” is not a word that would readily be used to describe Jamir Garcia, soft-spoken vocalist of the rap-metal band Slapshock. But with potential international stardom on the horizon for the local group after signing with apl.de.ap’s startup label Jeepney Music, the frontman can’t help feeling like a newbie again, after 16 active years in the scene.

“Not everyone gets the chance to do something like this, so the pressure’s quite great. There will be a lot of expectations, for sure. We feel like we’re a new band starting over,” Jamir told the Inquirer at a recent dinner hosted by clothing brand Dickies.

Jamir said he and apl—or Allan Pineda—had been friends since 2006, when Slapshock opened for The Black Eyed Peas’ first Manila concert. Both Kapampangan, Jamir and apl hit it off; they have since kept in touch. They performed the official theme of the historical biopic “El Presidente” last year.

“[apl] was interested in our band from the start of our acquaintance. He said he knew right away that he would sign us, as soon as he got his label started. We really admire him for wanting to help the local music scene,” Jamir said. “I’m producing some songs for his coming solo album.”

Chito Miranda to press charges for leaked video

MANILA -- The camp of Parokya Ni Edgar vocalist Chito Miranda is now considering filing raps against those who leaked and posted photos and a video of him and his girlfriend, actress Neri Naig, in an intimate moment.

According to Rommel Cajayon of Backbeat Management, which handles the career of Miranda, they are now consulting lawyers to identify the social networking sites that shared the sex video.

Cajayon said Miranda is decided about pressing charges against the unnamed suspects.

After issuing an apology to his family and that of his girlfriend, Miranda's sister Yna Dalisay expressed support to his brother and the actress.

"The family is 100% behind Chito and Neri. I personally think there was absolutely nothing wrong with what they did and for me, there is nothing to be ashamed of or apologized for. Ang may mali 'yung nagnakaw ng video at ang mga patuloy na nagkalat. Alam nila it was meant to be private," Dalisay said.

Talent manager Manny Valera, who handles the career of Naig, also shared the same sentiment.

"Shame on those who continue to share the video on their social networking sites. Let us not judge them. They are people in love. But it's clear that Neri Naig's rights were abused and violated. She did not approve or consented to the uploading of a private video," Valera said.

On Sunday, Miranda showed that everything is okay after he posted a photo of him and Naig on Instagram with caption: "Di nyo kami matitinag."
