“Ang seventh placer ay si Rafaello Cañedo ng Mindanao. Nangangahulugan na si Jonas Oñate ang pasok sa Top 6.”
The comedian furthermore apologized on his social media account, “I was just reading the prompter. Not my mistake. Sorry still. #TNT3HulingTapatanDay5.
“The prompter says announce 7’th and 8’th placer pero ang inabot sakin na envelope has the names of the contestants na pasok sa top 6. So ayun na steve harvey ako.”
The viral video also garnered various reactions from netizens on social media as well.
"Hindi man lng nag sorry si vice kay rafaello. :(" "Ang sakit siguro ma Colombia zoned." "Why rely on the prompter kung may card na with the results?" "Meme aminin mo hindi lang isang beses nangyari to, Aksyunan mo na!" "Wala akong against sa results. Sa feelings ng taong unang binanggit niyo na pasok na hindi naman pala. Jusko nakakaawa :( its okay to say sorry po."
As reported earlier by KAMI, Vice Ganda recently posted a video on his social media account. The video showed Vice and Anne waiting inside a room before the grand finale of 'Tawag ng Tanghalan.' However, a ‘stranger’ suddenly barged inside the room much to their surprise.

“My mom’s exact words were ‘Yan ang babaeng may breeding.'”
Ito ang sagot ni Derek Ramsay nang tanungin tungkol sa impresiyon ng mga magulang niya sa kanyang girlfriend na si Andrea Torres.

Finally, nagkuwento sina Derek at Andrea sa Cabinet Files at iba pang piling reporters tungkol sa kanilang relasyon sa huling gabi ng taping ng The Better Woman kahapon, September 25, 2019.
Magwawakas ang prime-time drama series nila sa GMA-7 bukas, September 27.
Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, naging vocal si Andrea sa pagsasalita tungkol sa kanyang love life.
Hindi maipagkakailang maligayang-maligaya siya sa relasyon nila ni Derek.
“Babe” ang term of endearment nina Derek at Andrea sa isa’t isa, pero may pagkakataong “Chin-Chin” ang tawag ng aktor sa kanyang girlfriend.
“Mahaba daw kasi ang baba ko,” sabi ni Andrea, na hinawakan ang kanyang baba habang ipinapaliwanag ang dahilan ng pagtawag ni Derek sa kanya ng "Chin-Chin."
May mga insidente na, unconsciously, tinatawag nilang "Babe" ang isa’t isa sa taping ng kanilang mga eksena, kaya pinapaalalahanan sila ni Mark dela Cruz, ang direktor ng The Better Woman.
Natatawang kuwento ni Andrea, “Minsan, lumulusot sa soap, e!
"Hanapin niyo doon, meron. Ako, may once, e."
“Ako, mga three times,” sabi ni Derek.
“Dito 'Love,' pero kami 'Babe' or meron siya na tinatawag na 'Chin-Chin.' 'Baby, usually...'
“Sabi ni Direk, ‘Babe. Love tayo, nadulas kayo.'"
Pagpapatuloy ng aktor, “Yung connection naman namin was, even before extra.
"The things you’re talking about, wala naman kaming alam na magiging ganito ka-close kami.
“When we first met, we already had a connection dun sa station ID ng GMA.
"We just connected, we were just talking about pag-aartista, we did not see na may connection kami, and then nabuo.
“Alam mo, walang ano, e… Usually, pinag-iisipan mo ‘yan. It just flows naturally.
"Bukas [September 26], we’re going to Dubai very early in the morning, sa PBL,” ani Derek.
Nang tanungin naman si Andrea kung gaano siya kasaya, “Sobrang saya,” sagot niya.
Dagdag pa ng aktres, “Marami naman ang nakakapansin, yung difference talaga.
"Parang ngayon lang din naman ako naging vocal.
"Ngayon din lang ako nagpu-post nang hindi family or work, sarili ko, kaya siguro halatang-halata.
"But then, ganoon nga.
“Minsan, kapag masyado kang happy, parang hindi mo ma-keep sa sarili mo.
"So, hindi mo na rin ino-overthink, nagpu-post na lang ako,” kuwento ni Andrea.
Itinuturing ni Andrea si Derek bilang “the closest guy to me right now.”
THE PARENTS
Ibinahagi naman ni Derek ang closeness sa isa’t isa ng kanyang mga magulang at ng mga magulang ni Andrea.
Mahirap daw paghiwalayin ang kanilang mga ama sa tuwing nagkikita-kita sila.
Saad ni Derek, “We both enjoy being with each other, whether it’s at work.
"She doesn’t have to go to Dubai tomorrow, pero she’s supporting me in games there.
"We are more than friends.
"We’re at that stage na we both have feelings for each other.
"It’s not just that we're both physically attracted, it’s deeper than that in the sense that she has met my parents, I’ve met her parents, our parents have met.
“My dad and her dad, kailangan mong i-separate.
"Sila [ni Andrea] ang laging magka-text ng nanay ko.
"Ako, lagi kong ka-text ang nanay niya.
“So, first time in my life na my set-up is like that.
"I’ve had my relationships in the past, but I always got along with the parents.
"I always make sure kasi, for me, that’s important.
"Pero first time na close kami.
“Ako, the parents always loved me... No, joke lang, but what I’m saying, we’re close.
"Pero yung folks niya at yung folks ko, close, because we both really prioritize family.
"This one is just so natural, we enjoy sitting down.
"I think we have about, ilang sit-downs na, mga dinner.
"Like, birthday ng dad ko, invited yung parents niya. That’s why it’s so light."

She also stated that there are celebrities like Coco Martin who pay respect to fellow artists regardless of the network that they belong to. 
“Very demeaning na gawin ng isang kapwa mo artista ang ginawa ni Alex, pero karapatan niya kung ayaw niya makipag-chica,” she wrote. 
“Hindi ko naman sinasabi na dapat feeling big stars din sila Rita at Ken pero sa mga okasyon na ganun, isipin mo rin na dala mo ang bandera ng GMA at para sa isang ABS star na umasta ng ganun para bang ano 'you feel we are smaller' ang dating,” she added.

“Wag na kasi palakihin total pareho naman kayo mga artista at dahil sa mga supporters nyo kaya kayo sumisikat. Lack of understanding kulang sa inyo.” 
“Ginamit niyo lang si Alex para sa artista ng GMA. Diba taga GMA ka rin? Natural ang kampihan at siraan.” 
“Sino po yung source? Nakakasira po kasi ang chismis.” 
“I think it’s better you keep quite na lang po kasi mukha naman alaga mo si Ken at Rita. Halata ka na publicity itong ginagawa mo para sa GMA-7 artists mo!”

The Makati Regional Trial Court has dismissed the petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by rapper Loonie and several others in connection with their arrest over drug charges.

Loonie, or Marlon Peroramas; his sister Idyll Liza Peroramas, David Rizon, Ivan Agustin and Albert Alvarez filed the petition to question their continued detention.

"From the arguments of the parties and the admission in open court, it appears that the petitioners were already subjected to inquest proceedings on September 20, 2019," said Judge Ricardo Moldez II in his order denying the petition.
"This court considers this developmentr as a supervening event, enough to render the instant petition moot and academic," he added.
Moldez said it would be "highly imnpractical" for the court to order the release of the petitioners without preempting any resolution coming from the Office of the City Prosecutor of Makati City."
"This court notes that as of this moement, there is no resolution to speak of," Moldez said.
liptop star Loonie was nabbed during a buy-bust operation in the parking basement of a hotel in Barangay Poblacion, Makati City on Wednesday night.
Arrested along with the rapper, whose real name is Marlon Peroramas, were his sister and three other individuals.
Authorities seized 15 sachets of kush or high-grade marijuana hidden in a box that was made to look like a gift.
The Makati City Police said they had been monitoring Loonie's activities for almost a month before they carried out the buy-bust operation. —NB, GMA News

Arci Munoz inspired by BTS to study Korean language in U.P.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE BY SIGNING UP HERE IT'S FREE!!!
Arci Muñoz is ecstatic about going back to school.
In August, she dropped by the University of the Philippines in Diliman to enrol in a language subject.
She told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in a recent interview,

"Right now, I just took a short course...parang elective gano'n. Foreign language po."
How long will it take to finish her new endeavor?
"Ano lang po, depende sa inyo. Parang may three months, kung gusto niyong ituloy, puwede pa naman po parang seven sems? Depende po, e, depende po sa gusto niyong kunin na language."
She has started attending her classes on September 7, and her schedule is every Saturday.
The Kapamilya actress continued, "So, papasok ako ng school. Na-miss ko kasi."
ARCI MUÑOZ STUDIES KOREAN LANGUAGE
Her first choice was to study Spanish.
Arci explained, "Kasi Spanish po ako so every time we have gatherings, half-Spanish po ako, e, so pag kasama ko yung mga family members ko, all of them can speak Spanish.
"Though I understand it’s hard. I'm not fluent. So parang yun po yung una kong gusto kong kunin.
"Pero...it’s so hard to get a slot sa UP. Sobrang hirap, parang first day pa lang, parang puno na lahat ng slots, so wala po akong mapuntahan."
The other two languages that, as she said, "gusto ko talagang pag-aralan," are Japanese and Korean.
She chose the latter.
"Kasi po sobrang fan ako ako ng BTS, gusto ko pong matuto ng Korean."
BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2013.
Arci continued, "E, nagkataon po pagpunta ko ng UP… kasi kailangan kayo mismo ang personal na magreregister ng sarili niyo so punta ako doon. 
Naubusan na ako, parang nasa wait list na 'ko so pang-apat ako. 'Tapos iyon, after two days, nag-message, nag-email na sila sa akin na parang na-open na yung slot.
"Puwede na akong magpa-reserve..."
ARCI MUÑOZ NOSTALGIC ABOUT STUDYING IN U.P. AGAIN On the day of registration, the 30-year-old star dropped by the Palma Hall, UP's main building.
Her August 19 post read, "Pure Nostalgia! Wala pa ako picture dito sa building namin nung nagaaral pa ko sa U.P. '05 un. wala pa kasi camera fone ko noon. Nokia 8210 pa fone ko. Hihi ngayon balik eskwela na 'ko, mag-take na ko maraming pics!"
During the interview, Arci admitted to missing her college days. She then took up a two-year certificate course in Theater Arts.
"Doon po ako nag-aral, college po. Nag-aral po akong theatre, e, sa UP. One year po ako sa UP. Kasi two years po iyon, e."
With regard to being a student again, she said, "Na-miss ko din, e. 
Na-miss ko kasi parang nung bata ako. Pagpunta ko nga don sa Palma kasi po parang dati siyempre bata ka pa, nung pagpunta ko sa Palma Hall dati nung bata ako, parang anlaki-laki noon, parang ngayon, di ba lumaki ka na parang lumiit?"
ARCI MUÑOZ'S REASON FOR GOING BACK TO SCHOOL
Partly, the mean comments of some netizens motivated her to study again.
She said, "Kaya nga po, kumuha nga ako ng ganito para hindi ako mabobo. Kasi minsan alam mo yung parang nakalimutan ko yung spelling. Hindi mo na alam yung spelling ng words.
"So yun po, parang gusto ko lang… e, nakakatawa yung reaksiyon ng mga tao parang when I posted that on Instagram, I was in the campus, Parang sabi nila, 'O, baka maging NPA ka! Sabi ko, Ano ba iyan! 
Puwede bang maging masaya na lang kayo? Mag-aaral ako. Wag na kayong… just be happy, at least be happy for me."
Her other reason was mentioned in her September 13 post: "We cannot ignore the importance of education in our lives."
She also told PEP.ph, "Sabi ng mommy ko, talagang kailangan naming tapusin talaga kasi lahat kaming magkakapatid, gusto niya [makatapos]."

JM de Guzman faces frustrated murder complaint; actor's camp reacts

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE BY SIGNING UP HERE IT'S FREE!!!
Nahaharap sa reklamong frustrated murder ang Kapamilya actor na si JM de Guzman sa Quezon City Prosecutor's Office.
Inihain daw ang nasabing reklamo ng real estate broker na si Pitt Norman Zafra.

Nag-ugat ang reklamo sa diumano’y pambubugbog daw ni JM at kaibigan nitong foreigner kay Zafra noong May 7, 2019, sa isang restobar sa Quezon City.
Batay sa naunang imbestigasyon ni P/SSgt. Genaro Diego ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit ng Quezon City Police District (CIDU-QCPD), ang insidente ay naganap dakong alas-8:45 ng gabi sa loob ng Flying House Resto Bar na matatagpuan sa No. 10-B Malingap St., Brgy. Teachers Village West, Quezon City.
Noong May 12, 2019, nag-post sa Instagram si JM at mariing itinanggi ang paratang laban sa kanya.
Nakalagay sa post niya na, “Who’s hiding?” na may kasamang hashtags na #solidevidence #youregonnagetit #CCTV #wearepeacefulharmlesshumanbeings.
JM DE GUZMAN STATEMENT
Hiningan ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ng pahayag ang Star Magic, ang namamahala sa karera ng aktor, tungkol sa isyu.
Ngayong araw ng Sabado, September 21, nagpadala ang Star Magic ng statement galing sa legal counsel ng aktor na sina Atty. Louie Aseoche at Atty. Juan Paolo Tumbali.
Ayon sa statement, ang frustrated murder complaint ay "rehash" ng naunang physical injuries complaint na inihabla sa Office of the City Prosecutor ng Quezon City at inurong noong nakaraang August 8, 2019.
Narito ang kabuuang statement ni JM, na ipinadala ng kanyang mga abugado sa PEP.ph (published as is):
"On behalf of JM de Guzman, we would like to inform everyone that there are reports circulating that a certain Pitt Norman Zafra has recently filed a complaint for 'Frustrated Murder' against JM and another individual at the Office of the City Prosecutor in Quezon City.
"The Complaint-Affidavit of Mr. Zafra is actually a rehash of a previous complaint he filed for 'Physical Injuries' which he withdrew before the City Prosecutor Office in Quezon City on August 8, 2019.
"JM is surprised why Mr. Zafra would now want him to answer for a more serious charge under the same set of factual circumstances as the complaint that he withdrew last month.
"We believe that the proper venue where facts can be distiled from fiction would be before the Investigating Prosecutor in Quezon City, not in media.
"Since Mr. Zafra had already filed his complaint, it is most unfair of Mr. Zafra to preempt the proceedings by spreading negative publicity against JM when the Investigating Prosecutor of Quezon City still has to conduct a preliminary investigation on the charges.
"We are confident that JM has the necessary evidence, both testimonial and electronic, to prove his innocence.
"JM will most certainly file counter charges against Mr. Zafra."
Bukas ang PEP.ph sa anumang pahayag ni Mr. Pitt Norman Zafra tungkol sa inilabas na statement ng kampo ni JM.

A source of PUSH revealed before that she saw the two celebrities leaving the ballroom and they waited for the elevator together. However, the actor denied the allegation, as he quipped that he was just being kind to the veteran actress. 
“Kasabay ko siyang lumabas. Nagkataon na na-picturan ako na naka-alalay sa kanya. Pero sa tingin ko lang wala namang masama doon. Wag na po nating bigyan ng meaning,” he stated. 

2. Jessy Mendiola revealed the color of Luis Manzano’s underwear 
Jessy Mendiola shook the online world after she announced to the public the color of the underwear that Luis Manzano was wearing at Star Magic Ball 2016. 
“We don’t live by the rules. We are rebels,” Luis quipped when asked why they did not follow the color scheme. 
“His underwear is red,” Jessy added. 
3. Ellen Adarna’s “drunk” moment at Star Magic Ball 2015 
A video of Ellen during the 2015 Star Magic Ball immediately circulated and made noise on social media. It was said that the actress was too drunk that time and she was seen holding Paolo Avelino’s hand. It became controversial because Ellen chose Ejay Falcon as her partner during the occasion, but she was seen getting “clingy” with someone else. 
4. Billy Crawford got detained after the event 
Billy Crawford reportedly got aggressive while inside a police precinct after the Star Magic Ball 2014. He sought for the help of the authorities, but he ended up creating a scandalous moment. The actor apologized for what happened, and he admitted that it was his fault. 
5. Coco Martin and Matteo Guidicelli involved in a fistfight 
Coco and Matteo made headlines during the 2011 Star Magic Ball after they got involved in a fistfight. The controversial incident was reportedly because of jealousy, since Maja Salvador was the girlfriend of Matteo that time and she was the co-star of Coco in “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin.” 
The “Ang Probinsyano” star allegedly kissed the gorgeous celebrity during the event’s afterparty, which fueled the intriguing moment between him and Matteo. 
The two celebrity heartthrobs already settled the issue, as they released separate statements when they were interviewed on “The Buzz.” 
6. John Lloyd Cruz decided not to walk on the red carpet 
John Lloyd Cruz became the subject of public interest in 2017 when he skipped the red carpet of the ABS-CBN Ball on that year. He went directly to the venue and he did not have a partner during the event.

Para sa aktres na si Bea Alonzo, “empowering” ang pagrampa niyang mag-isa sa ABS-CBN Ball 2019 red carpet.
Ito rin ang unang beses na wala siyang kasamang date sa nakalipas na sampung taon.

Magiliw na kinausap ng 31-year-old actress ang PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang reporters na nag-abang sa pagdating niya sa taunang event, na idinaos sa Shangri-La sa The Fort, Taguig City, nitong Sabado ng gabi, September 14.
Unang inusisa kay Bea ang suot niyang black Spanish Senorita-inspired gown na gawa ni Jun Escario at disenyo ni Pam Quinones.
Kasunod nito, kinumusta ang aktres tungkol sa mag-isa niyang pagrampa sa red carpet ng ball.
Sagot ni Bea, “I just realized it’s my first time to actually walk on the red carpet alone after ten years.
“So it feels great naman.”
Dagdag pa ni Bea, “It’s actually empowering, it’s liberating, and I’m enjoying it.”
Bago pa nakausap ang nagkumpulang reporters, ang red carpet host na si Raymond Gutierrez ang unang nangumusta kay Bea.
“I’m recovering. I’m actually great,” sagot ng dalaga.
Tapos na ang interview nang nagpahabol ng komento si Raymond sa nakatalikod nang si Bea.
Hirit ni Raymond, “Single looks good on you.”
Lumingon at ngumiti lang si Bea, na napagitna kamakailan sa intriga kasunod ng kontrobersiyal na hiwalayan nila ni Gerald Anderson nitong July ngayong taon.
Sa nakalipas na tatlong taon, o mula 2016 hanggang 2018, kasama ni Bea si Gerald sa red carpet ng taunang ball na dating kilala bilang Star Magic Ball.
Bago si Gerald, ang dating nobyo at kapwa Kapamilya artist na si Zanjoe Marudo ang naging date ni Bea sa Star Magic Ball mula 2010 hanggang 2015.
Napabalita pa nga noong 2010 na bagamat magkasamang dumating sa ball sina Bea at Zanjoe, ay nakita ng ilang onlookers na magkasamang umalis ng ballroom sina Bea at Gerald, na noon ay date ng ex-girlfriend niyang si Kim Chiu.
Samantala, kung solong dumating si Bea sa ball ngayong taon, kasama naman ni Gerald ang mga co-stars niya sa ipapalabas na teleseryeng A Soldier’s Heart na sina Elmo Magalona, Jerome Ponce, Nash Aguas, at Yves Flores.

Deborah Sun, hindi tutulungang makalaya ni Phillip Salvador

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE BY SIGNING UP HERE IT'S FREE!!!
Hindi maiwasang hindi mabanggit ang pangalan ni Phillip Salvador sa drug case ni Deborah Sun dahil magkamag-anak sila.
Pero may mga maling detalyeng nararapat ituwid.
Una, hindi kapatid ni Phillip si Deborah dahil ang dating aktres ay anak ng yumaong aktor at direktor na si Leroy Salvador.

Magkapatid sina Phillip at Leroy.
Sa madaling-salita, pamangkin ni Phillip, 66, si Deborah, 60.
Walang katotohanan ang mga wild imagination na si Phillip ang tutulong kay Deborah para makalaya ito sa kulungan dahil galit ang aktor sa mga taong gumagamit na ipinagbabawal na gamot.
Madaling-araw ng Linggo, September 8, nang maganap ang buy-bust operation sa condominium unit na pag-aari ni Ara Mina at tinitirhan ni Deborah at ng mga anak nito, kabilang si Jam Melendez na half-brother ni Aiko Melendez.
Mula noong Linggo hanggang ngayon, nakapiit pa rin si Deborah at ang tatlong akusado sa Station 8 ng Quezon City Police District sa Project 4, Quezon City.
Nang madakip si Deborah noong Linggo, si Phillip ang isa sa kanyang mga tinawagan at hiningan ng tulong para makalaya sila ng 45-year-old daughter niya.
Isa lang ang itinanong ni Phillip kay Deborah: "Totoo ba ang bintang sa 'yo?"
Mariin itong itinanggi ng former actress.
Lingid sa kaalaman ng karamihan, hindi pumapalya si Phillip sa pagbibigay ng financial help kay Deborah at sa mga anak nito.
Pero isa lang ang kundisyon na hiningi niya: huwag na huwag gagamit ng illegal drugs ang kanyang pamangkin.
Nang manindigan si Deborah kay Phillip na hindi siya gumagamit ng ipinagbabawal na gamot at nadamay lamang siya, mismong ang aktor ang nagsabi sa arresting officers na isailalim sa drug test ang pamangkin niya at ang anak nito.
Nagbitaw ng salita si Phillip na kung negative ang resulta ng drug test kay Deborah, palayain ang kanyang pamangkin pero kailangang dumaan sa wastong proseso.
Pero kung positive ang resulta at may batas na nilabag, ipinauubaya ng aktor sa mga kinauukulan ang nararapat gawin.
Positive ang resulta ng drug test kay Deborah kaya hindi siya tutulungan ni Phillip na makalabas mula sa kulungan, taliwas sa maling akala na ipinipilit ng ibang mga tao.
Nevertheless, patuloy ang pagbibigay ni Phillip ng tulong sa mga anak ni Deborah na naiwan nito sa condominium unit na pag-aari ni Ara.
Sadly, patuloy sa pagpapainterbyu si Deborah mula sa kulungan niya.
Humihingi siya ng simpatiya at financial assistance sa ibang mga artista para makalaya.
Kasama sa panawagan ni Deborah ang pangakong kapag nakalaya siya, ang pagpapa-drug test ang unang gagawin niya para patunayan sa lahat na walang katotohanan ang bintang laban sa kanya.
Pero hindi ito totoo.
Kung katotohanan ang sinasabi ni Deborah, si Phillip ang unang-unang tutulong para makalaya siya.
Pero hindi nagsisinungaling ang resulta ng kopya ng drug test sa kanya at sa mga kapwa niya akusado.

Sa sunud-sunod na isyu na may kinalaman sa karapatan ng mga miyembro ng lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community, nagbigay ng kanyang pananaw tungkol dito ang kilalang gay TV host at hair-salon tycoon na si Ricky Reyes.
Kinikilala bilang gay icon sa Pilipinas, sinabi ni Mother Ricky, 69, na dapat lumugar sa tamang lugar ang mga miyembro ng LGBTQ.
Saad niya, "Ako, this year, lahat ng LGBT, nilikom ko silang lahat.

“Sabi ko, tigilan ninyo ang kabaklaan. Huwag na kayong magbistida sa kalye kasi lalo lang tayong pagtatawanan ng tao. Okay?
“Dapat tumulong tayo sa kapwa para mahalin tayo ng mga tao.
“At lagi kong sinasabi, ang bakla, walang ibang makakaintindi kundi bakla lang talaga.
“Kahit sarili nilang nanay, kahit sarili nilang tatay, sasabihin, ‘A, mahal ka namin anak naiintindihan ka namin…’ Shit!
“Mahuli ka ng tatay mo kumu-kokak ka, sipain ka pa ng tatay mo, ‘Day! Di ba?
“Pero ang bakla, mahuli ka ng bakla na kumu-kokak ka, ‘Hoy, bakla, share ako, ha. Akin na ang number,’ di ba? Nagkakaintindihan."
Diin pa ni Mother Ricky, “Walang makakaintindi sa bakla kundi bakla lang.
“At ang affair ng mga bakla, dapat sa atin lang ‘yan. Huwag nating ipangalandakan sa tao.
“Bakit kailangan kong ipangalandakan sa madlang pipol, ‘Uy, intindihin mo nga ako, bakla ako.’
“Teka muna.”
Nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang reporters si Mother Ricky sa charity event niya sa CHILD Haus nitong weekend.
ON COMFORT ROOM ISSUE
Bilang kilalang gay icon sa Pilipinas, ano ang reaksiyon ni Mother Ricky sa isyu ng trans woman na si Gretchen Diez na pinagbawalang gumamit ng comfort room para sa mga babae sa isang mall sa Quezon City?
Pahayag ni Mother Ricky, “Kung ikaw ay may nota, sa lalaki ka.
“Pag may kipay ka, sa babae ka.
“Finish. Yun lang yun.
“Nirerespeto kita bilang tao. Nirerespeto kita bilang bading.
“Pero lumugar tayo sa tamang lugar, di ba?
“Kung ikaw, babaeng-babae at hindi na mabubuking, e, di lumusot ka kung makakalusot ka.
“Pero kung hindi ka makakalusot, anong problema mo?”
Halimbawa nito ay ang trans man na si Jake Zyrus na sa CR pa rin daw ng mga babae pumapasok.
“Yeah, di ba?” pagsang-ayon ni Mother Ricky.
“Kung may kipay ka, girl ka. Kung may nota ka, hombre ka.
“Ganoon lang.
“Kung nagpaopera ka… kaso nga, ang bakla kahit operada na, kahit may kipay na, maski may boobs na, bakla pa rin ang utak, ‘Day.
“Saan ka nakakita, ‘Oy, may kipay na ako, o.’ ‘Uy, may boobs na ako.’
“May babae bang ganoon? Wala namang babaeng ganyan, di ba?”
Giit ni Mother Ricky, “Dyusko! Lumugar lang sa tamang lugar, di ba?
"Doon lang tayo, kasi meron naman tayong gay community.
“Bakit natin kailangan ng kung anu-ano, e, may gay pageant naman tayo?
“Bakit tayo pupunta sa mga lugar na pagpipilitan mo na girl ka, e, may bar naman para sa mga bading, di ba?
“Doon ka sa lugar natin. Bakit kailangan mong makipagsiksikan?”
SOGIE BILL
Nagbigay rin ng pahayag si Mother Ricky sa isinusulong na Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression Equality (SOGIE) Bill o Anti-Discrimination Bill sa Kongreso at Senado.
Saad niya, “Let it be na lang.
“Basta ang bakla, e, bakla maski ano ang gawin niyan...
“Ang bakla, gilingin ko man ‘yan, ang labas niyan, baklang hamburger!”
Tutol din si Mother Ricky sa same-sex marriage.
Paliwanag niya, “Ang kasal ay para lamang sa babae at lalaki.
“E, merong kasabihan sa Catholicism na sacrilege. Pambabastos sa relihiyon, huwag na.
“Ang pagpapakasal ay ibigay na natin sa babae at lalaki, di ba?
“Saka kung gusto ninyo ng union, e, di mag-union kayo.”
Pagbibigay-halimbawa pa niya sa sarili, “Bakit ako, I’m in a relationship for 40-plus years, but we never go out of our way, ‘Ay, kailangan naming magpakasal.’
“No more,” sabay iling niya.
“May kasabihan tayo, you never, never rock the boat if it is not broken.
“Pag maayos siya, go lang, di ba?
“So, bakit kailangang ipagsaksakan kung di naman magulo?
“E, pinagugulo mo lang ang mundo, di ba?”
FORTY-PLUS RELATIONSHIP
More than 40 years na ang relasyon ni Mother Ricky sa negosyanteng si Cris Aquino.
Never ba nilang napag-usapan ang tungkol sa kasal?
Umiling si Mother Ricky at sinabing, “Never.”
Sabi pa niya, “We have children.
“We have grown-up children. And they are good children.
“But we never talk about marriage, never.
“Sabi nga, you never rock the boat if it is not broken.”
Speaking of children, not even once na nagtanong ang mga anak niya sa relasyon nila ng kanyang partner?
Ayon kay Mother Ricky, “We have never talked to our children about our relationship.
“We have never talked to our children regarding who they are, what they are.
“What we give them is love.
“Ang mga bata—ke adopted ‘yan o tunay mong anak ‘yan—magrerebelde ang bata kapag walang nakitang pagmamahal sa loob ng bahay.
“Pag ang bahay punung-puno ng pagmamahal at respeto, hindi ‘yan pupunta sa labas at magtatanong, ‘Bakit ganito, bakit ganoon,' Di ba?
“Ang mga anak namin, lumaki ‘yan, for forty years, they have never witnessed us quarrel, not even once.
“Hindi sila nakakita na nag-away kami in front of my children.”
Naging faithful partner ba siya kay Daddy Cris?
“I am very faithful,” deklarasyon niya.
