Ganda, Anne Curtis shine at GMA Gala 2023

MANILA —”It’s Showtime” co-hosts Anne Curtis and Vice Ganda looked radiant, while GMA-7’s most popular screen goddesses Marian Rivera, Heart Evangelista and Jennylyn Mercado owned the red carpet at last night’s GMA Gala 2023 held in Marriott Hotel in Pasay City. The biggest stars of ABS-CBN and GMA-7 partied the night away in their best looks as the gala and the stars dominated social media trends, particularly Twitter.

Vice Ganda lived up to his moniker “Unkabogable” as he walked the red carpet in a sparkly gown with a white feather boa.

His “Showtime” sestra, Anne Curtis, looked simply elegant in a white Saint Lauren gown, complimented by clip-on bangs and accessories from Tiffany. Her look is obviously inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s famous movie character, Sabrina.

Marian Rivera was another effortless beauty in a white plisse gown as she walked down the red carpet with her equally gorgeous husband, actor Dingdong Dantes. Jennylyn Mercado was a vision in green as she strutted with her husband, actor Dennis Trillo. Heart Evangelista lived up to her chic fashionista vibe by donning a Schiaparelli creation. Newly engaged couple Bea Alonzo and Dominic Roque walked the red carpet together, looking genuinely happy to attend the gala.

“It just so happened that attention is currently focused on the digital platforms. There used to be a time when every house owned a TV. If you didn’t have one, you’d try to watch shows in your neighbor’s house. Back then, you also turned to television if you wanted to announce something. These days, everyone owns a phone that provides them the information they need,” she pointed out.

Magdangal said she follows quite a number of influencers and would even post comments to compliment

“Party Pilipinas” and “Sunday All Stars” were variety shows produced by GMA 7 that aired in the mid-2000s and where Magdangal was a talent until she transferred to ABSCBN in 2015.

The reshuffle in local TV’s noontime slot was the effect of the transfer of veteran hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon from GMA 7 to TV5 (“E.A.T”). The move resulted in the transfer of “It’s Showtime” from TV5 to GMA 7’s sister company, GTV, and the hiring of a new set of hosts for the 44-year-old “Eat Bulaga.”

‘The Cheating Game’ stars to victims of infidelity: Don’t blame yourself

By AllAn PolicArPio Inquirer.net

BEING in a romantic relationship is something Julie Anne San Jose holds “sacred.” That’s why infidelity, she said, is a nonnegotiable matter.

“We have our own personal definitions of what cheating is. But for me, cheating is nonnegotiable—once it’s done, it’s done,” she said in a recent online conference for the upcoming romantic drama film “The Cheating Game,” which opens in cinemas on Wednesday, July 26.

While she didn’t cite a specific personal experience, Julie Anne surmised that most people have probably been cheated on one way or another. How do we deal with such a situation?

“Cheating is a heavy matter for me… I think all of us have been in such a situation, not just in relationships, but life in general. We have our own coping mechanisms. You should surround yourself with people who support you. It’s important to have a system— your friends, family, loved ones. They’re the ones who will be there for you in your struggles.”

Rayver Cruz, Julie Anne’s leading man and real-life boyfriend, echoed her sentiments, adding that at times, experience can be the best teacher—a tough one at that.

“You can learn lessons from the experience, which can make you better equipped to handle these things in future relationships. We can get blinded by love. But in a way, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” he said.

Form of lies

But what’s considered cheating? For supporting stars Martin del Rosario and Winwyn Marquez, cheating isn’t necessarily limited to the presence of a third party. It can also come in the form of lies.

“Lying, hiding the truth or omitting details to make your case more convincing is cheating, too. It’s not just about having an affair. I have
