It's showtime hosts Vice Ganda and Anne Curtis had a shouting match yesterday towards the end of the show, entertainment website Fashion Pulis wrote.
According to the article, Anne's skirt hit the drink of Vice Ganda which he placed at the side of a tablewhile she was passing by. The drink then spilled on the Unkabogable star getting his clothes and his shoes wet.
Vice made a big deal of the incident and started screaming at Anne. Exchanges of words occurred, which made Anne hurriedly leave with tears in her eyes.
After the tension and hurtful moment, people wonder if such incident is nothing more than a prank and both hosts will later just say that it was all acting behind the scenes. Nonetheless, if such incident bordered on a personal affront, will either Vice or Anne be absent from today’s show?
Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin has once again proven that superheroes need not costume to be called as such.
Videos on the Internet taken by some people in the area surfaced Thursday night.
Angel, who describes herself on her own Instagram page as “Volunteer, Activist, Film & Television Actress,” visited refugees from the aerial bombings in Marawi at an evacuation center in Ma’had Alnor Al-Islaime, in Tomas Cabili, Iligan City.
This is not the first time that Angel made her presence felt in a Mindanao crisis.
Two years ago, the actress was very vocal in protesting the brutal shooting of two Lumad leaders and their civilian companion by paramilitary forces in Lianga, Surigao del Sur.
In her social media posts back then, Angel used the hash tag, “#StopLumadKillings” to articulate her grief and outrage. At around the same time, Angel’s sister, Ella Colmenares-Sabino, posted a 2009 visit to the Lumad community of the same place.
Angel’s concern over the Marawi crisis may stem from something a little more personal.
In 2009, the same year she and her sister visited the Lumad village in Surigao del Sur, it was reported by ABS-CBN News that Angel “is part of a Muslim royal family in Marawi City in the province of Lanao del Sur.”
Angel herself was quoted as saying that all she remembers is that her mother was adopted by a Muslim princess in Marawi City where her grandfather was also reportedly one of the 15 sultans there.
“Ngayon, nagkikita-kita pa din kami ng mga pinsan-pinsanan ko. Yong pinaka-lolo ko po ay nasa Marawi,” she also said back then.
On television, Angel’s affinity towards Mindanao is also reflected in her choice of roles.
She recently headlined a two-part episode of “Maalaala Mo Kaya” where she portrayed a Muslim woman who kidnapped a child and took her to her hometown in Lanao. Prior to this, she also played the girlfriend of one of the 44 ill-fated commandos of the elite Special Action Force who died in the infamous Mamasapano clash.
GMA7 has released the teaser for its upcoming rom-com series on primetime block "I Heart Davao" which features reel and real life sweethearts Tom Rodriguez and Carla Abellana with Benjamin Alves playing the third wheel.
In the video, Carla and Benjamin were seen together while Tom was in the other side of the street. Both Carla and Tom are speaking through their minds in native Visayan and Tagalog languages. Carla thought Tom's attention was meant for her until another woman passes from their backs. The woman waved her hand while crossing the street towards Tom.until a passing car hit the former.
Directed by Marlon Rivera, I Heart Davao, as the title suggests, have scenes shot in Davao City. The series starts on June 26.
This was Piolo Pascual's reaction to speculations that he's moving to GMA7 after he was seen last Monday inside GMA7's compound.
"I’m very much ABS. I don’t have bad blood with anyone. It was done in good faith.", the kapamilya heartthrob quashed all rumors that he met with some of kapuso network's executives, "Nobody welcomed me in GMA. As to what they were saying, I just went there to pick up Joyce, and that’s it.", Piolo added.
Apparently, Piolo was there to pick up the director who was currently editing some scenes of the network's primetime series "My Love From The Star" which stars Jennylyn Mercado.
Rumors started when GMA News top broadcaster Mike Enriquez made a blind item in his radio show about a kapamilya actor who was spotted at their network's compound to which his radio partner Arnold Clavio guessed right.
Being inside the rival network's compound is something not new for actors. Oftentimes, people give colors to these kind of sightings. In 2014, Piolo was seen at the set of then GMA drama series which Bernal was also directing at that time.
