Angel Locsin on reported breakup with Luis Manzano: “Hindi pa po.”

As Posted on PEP.ph

“Hindi pa po.”

Ito ang sagot ni Angel Locsin tungkol sa balibalitang hiwalayan umano nila ng boyfriend niyang si Luis Manzano.

Nilinaw ni Angel na may pinagdadaanan lamang sila ni Luis sa kanilang relasyon.

“Pero inaayos naman po namin,” sabi ng aktres sa panayam sa kanya ni Boy Abunda sa Tonight with Boy Abunda noong January 29,

ayaw niyang magbigay ng anumang pahayag pa tungkol sa estado ng relasyon nila ni Luis ngayon.

sa estado ng relasyon nila ni Luis dahil magbibigay nga raw siya ng pahayag sa panayam niya kay Boy kinagabihan.

“Pasensiya na, Tito Boy, ayaw kong magelaborate kasi baka may masabi ako na imbes na maayos namin, makasama pa.

Sa kabila nito, sinabi ni Angel na kasama pa rin si Luis sa mga pinaghuhugutan niya ng lakas sa gitna ng pagsubok sa kanilang relasyon.

“Ayaw ko naman kasi manloko o magsinungaling. May inaayos lang ho kami.”

Matatandaang ito rin ang sinabi ng Luis sa panayam sa kanya ng ABS-CBN News reporter na si MJ Felipe.

Ilang oras bago ang kanyang live interview ay nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at bloggers si Angel sa blogcon na inihanda para sa kanya ng Star Cinema kaugnay ng pelikulang Everything About Her.

Ayon kay Angel, ito ang dahilan kung bakit

Dito ay hindi nagsalita si Angel tungkol

“Sa lahat ng mga taong nagmamahal sa akin, kahit kay Luis, humuhugot pa rin naman ako sa kanya.

“Hindi pa rin naman nawawala. Kahit naman may problema kami, nandiyan pa rin naman ang pagmamahal.

“May mga pinagdadaanan, pero I'm hoping na maayos.”

Morissette Amon: The Next Big Diva

8

www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Filipino Star Magazine. Vancouver Edition. February, 2016

S

he's recently bagged and took home two awards: Wish Female Artist of the Year and Wishers’ Choice Female Artist of the Year from the first ever WISH 107.5 Music Awards.

It did not take long for her lack of sleep, determination and sacrifices to pay off as she reached the top 4 on the said competition and bagged the 1st runner up spot, next to winner Eula Caballero.

With a voice comparable and akin to Mariah Carey and whose vocal range spans five octaves and five notes, there's no wonder why Morissette Amon was tagged as " The Next Big Diva."

After her 'The Star Factor' stint, Mr. David Cosico saw Morissette's potential and that's when she took her under his wing.

At age 19, Morissette Amon has already achieved and has established herself in the Philippine entertainment and music industry.

Early age to when she's 'yet to reach her dreams' Born as Johanne Morissette D. Amon on June 2, 1996 and was raised in Cebu City from a 'musically inclined' family, it did not take long for her parents to notice her signing prowess... at the very young age of 3.

Morissette fondly recalled and shared, "Nasa labas sila 'nun and there was a karaoke machine at home. Nagulat lang sila narinig nila na kumakanta ako ng 'You are My Song' ni Regine Velasquez."

Success comes to those who persevere, they say, and that is how Morissette worked her way up.

She has started her singing stints by joining several singing contest in Cebu.

She's also done and performed front acts in mall tours back in Cebu. Some fo which were Sarah Geronimo and Kim Chiu's shows.

Morissette told FSM, "Growing up, I like to sing to Regine Velasquez's songs and Jessa Zaragoza and then coach Sarah's."

It was when Morissette joined TV5's "The Star Factor" that paved way for her exposure in the industry.

She was chosen to be one of the finalists and that's when Morissette and her mother moved in to Manila to try her luck.

Her mom Ann, recalled, "She really wanted to sing. We saw her passion in singing and that's why we supported her all the way."

Mommy Ann recollects, "talagang sinuyo niya kami and nakita naman namin na maganda talaga 'yung intensyon niya, kaya napapayag din kami."

In 2012, Morissette auditioned and got the role of Mitchie Flores on the Repertory Philippines Disney's Camp Rock: The Musical.

2013: Transfer to ABS-CBN and The Voice of the Philippines "The transfer was not as easy. But most of the stars I've wroked with in TV5 were very supportive of my audition in 'The Voice of the Philippines," Morissette beamingly shared.

Mommy Ann added, "she was in a shoot hours before her audition in 'The Voice' and they (co-stars in TV5) were telling her to 'go!'"

"They were very supportive of it!" closes Mommy Ann. She sang Beyonce's "Love on Top" during the blind auditions and was chosen by Popstar Princess, Sarah Geronimo.

During the semi-finals, Morissette sang Jessie J's "Who You Are" but lost to her co-team Klarisse De Guzman.

The lost did not stop Morissette and she continued to work hard in reaching her dreams through her passion and love for singing.

Star Records Family and her rise to Stardom It was during her first solo concert in May 2014, entitled "This is Me", where Morissette made the announcement that she is already a part of Star Records family.

Fast track to March 2015, Morissette released her first self-titled studio album ‘Morissette’ under Star Records with ‘Di

www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Mapaliwanag’ as her carrier single.

This original song was the theme song for the Koreanovela “My Lovely Girl” and had won as Asianovela Themesong of the Year (2015).

She too received the Best New Female Recording Artist awards during the 7th PMPC Star Awards for Music and was also recognized by the 34th National Consumer Affairs Foundation Seal of Excellence Awards as the Outstanding Female Performing Artist of the Year.

Personal and Family Life Morissette can still be considered as “young” in showbiz even if she’s already received several recognitions.

When asked how she keeps her self grounded and humble, Morissette modestly answered, “I owe that to my family. They would always remind me and treat me as I am.”

Mommy Ann laughingly shared, “she still do chores! She keeps her room clean and she washes the dishes at home.”

FSM did not pass on to ask how her ‘lovelife’ is coming along, Morissette, with much conviction and matching shaking of the head answered, “No. None. Career first.”

Probing and followed with the question on how she can sing with so much emotion and heart, she shared, “I like to listen to other people’s story. I like to put myself in their positions and of course, there’s my family and relatives.”

There is no doubt that we are to see much more of Morissette Amon in Philippine music industry and maybe, just maybe, we all can dream and dream along with her, she maybe able to reach the international music scene.

Let’s all hope and cross our fingers to that.

binahagi ni Bianca Gonzalez na hindi biro ang mag-alaga ng kanyang three-month-old baby na si Lucia.

Lalo pa’t kahit nagbaliktrabaho na siya ay tutok pa rin daw siya sa pagpapalaki ng anak.

Paglalarawan ni Bianca sa kanyang trabaho bilang ina, “Hindi siya glamorous at all.

“Hindi totoo yung mga pictures na nakikita ko sa social media na baby happy, mommy ganda, fresh.

“Ay naku! Minsan sasabayan mo ng iyak yung baby mo, kasi busog naman, hindi basa, naka-burp naman, ayaw matulog.

“Ano nang gusto mo? Hindi mo alam.”

Gayunman, hindi umano matatawaran ang sayang dulot ng pagiging isang ina.

“When you wake up in the morning tapos she smiles at you, lahat ng pagod mo, nawawala.

“So, in short, makabaliw talaga!”

lakas

Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Bianca sa presscon para sa Ariel power gel detergent, na ginanap sa Century Mall, Makati City, noong January 29.

Sa kabila ng pagiging abala sa kanyang mommy duties, laking pasasalamat ni Bianca sa kanyang mister at basketbolistang si JC Intal dahil hands-on dad ito kay Baby Lucia.

Bianca Gonzalez on raising a baby: “Hindi siya glamorous at all.”

As Posted on PEP.ph

Kuwento ni Bianca, “By the time he goes home from training, he knows and sees na pagod na pagod na ako.

“Siya naman kahit pagod siya from training, he takes her, he burps her, puts her to sleep, changes her diapers—lahat ginagawa niya.

“Dyino-joke ko nga siya na I bet if dads could make pa-breastfeed also, I’m sure gagawin niya.”

Tila wala nang mahihiling pa sina Bianca at JC sa kanilang buhay-pamilya, lalo pa’t nakasama nila ang sanggol na anak sa El Nido, Palawan noong nakaraang holiday break.

Matatandaang sa naturang lugar sila ikinasal noong December 3, 2014.

“Nakakatuwa kasi lahat ng staff, ‘Oh, you’re back with the baby.’

“Nakakatuwa kasi even though hindi pa niya naiintindihan na, ‘O, this is where we got married.’

writer in focus

into my third life

author: del gachallan

by: Zeala Cortes A great read specially for Filipino immigrants who want to be successful and practice their respective professions in Canada...

Engineer Del Gachallan is one of the few Filipinos who is in the roster of Association of Professional engineers in BC, Canada. He had a very long career in BC Hydro, the first and last company he worked for as soon as he lands in Canada and when he opted for early retirement.

The book is honest, insightful, practical and a true celebration of the gift of immigration to Canada. Indeed if one has a a grateful and abundant heart, Canada will bestow you its abundance, beauty and grace.

Tito Del Gatchallan is a true community advocate as well as a compassionate volunteer. I would consider him as an integral piece of an art mosaic. His being-ness to advance a more prosperous nation by doing his part really well just promotes the consciousness of an inclusive Canada! Where in everyone despite of starkling differences- get along!

The book sells for $20. You can call Tito Del for copies at 604-889-7139. The book is in the process of being available at Filipino Stores in the lower mainland.

I was given a tutor on a one-on-one basis to remedy my oral communication deficiencies. I was sent to Prince Rupert by train to get lessons for 1 week, all expenses paid. My tutor was Mr. William Hankinson. He had a unique method of representing vowel and consonant sounds with phonetic symbols. I was grateful that my company sent me to him and I had to swallow my pride as an engineering graduate student from a premier Philippine university and as a valedictorian in high school. From then on, my oral communication skills began to improve considerably. Not only that; I would keep my job.

Grace Poe tearfully says fight for presidency is worth it As Posted on PEP.ph

S

enator Grace Poe was brought to tears when asked if joining the presidential race is worth the controversies and legal cases that she is currently faced with.

At first, she could only muster a thumbs up as she was trying to keep her emotions in check.

After a few seconds, she said, “What a privilege it is to be in a position to help our countrymen.

“It is worth the fight.

“It is worth the fight if you feel that you can institute change at a faster pace and that it can be felt by those in need.”

Since she started her political career in 2013, Poe pointed out that she was able to push for an institutionalized free lunch feeding program for public school kids nationwide to address malnutrition.

She also cited the amendments for the dangerous drug act that she has championed for it to be easier to file a case against drug pushers.

Poe further explained during the Meet the Inquirer forum last January 28: "So, if they’re questioning now my citizenship, I’m willing to go through it.

"Because I’ve seen that even in the senate—where your hands are tied because all you can do is legislate

but the implementation is not in your hands—you can still do oversight, you can still do budget, that can be felt by our countrymen.”

Poe, the adopted daughter of the late Fernando Poe Jr. and actress Susan Roces, is facing at least four disqualification cases soon after she filed her certificate of candidacy as president last October.

Last December 22, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc ruled to disqualify her from joining the presidential race due to issues surrounding her residency and status as a foundling.

Read: Grace Poe disqualified with finality by Comelec en banc The Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET), however, had earlier declared Senator Poe a natural-born Filipino.

To date, the Supreme Court is still in the process of conducting hearings with regard to the disqualification cases filed against the senator.

To which, Senator Poe maintained, “I will exhaust all the legal means possible to be able to fight for our case.”

Whether or not the Supreme Court will eventually issue an adverse ruling, the senator stated, “I would rather stay on the side of optimism.” www.filipinostarmagazine.com

MILEY CYRUS BUYS NEW PAD M For Private Time With Liam

iley Cyrus dropped major cash to buy a Malibu home, right next to Liam Hemsworth ... which doesn't mean she's moving out of his place -- it actually looks like they're expanding.

Reports surfaced February 4 that Miley's new pad signaled a split, but we've learned it's the exact opposite.

The house is officially 0.2 miles from Liam's, but in reality their driveways actually butt up against each other.

Our sources tell us Miley's new place will be her primary address ... with most of her stuff, including her bed. But the real reason for the purchase -- QT with Liam.

We're told Liam's 3 bedroom home has become overcrowded with guests -- Liam has a bunch of Aussie buddies who've been crashing there. Throw in Miley and her 5 dogs and things get messy.

Angelina Jolie’s film ‘Unbroken’ finally opens in Japan

A

ngelina Jolie’s “Unbroken” has opened more than a year after the rest of the world in Japan, the country where the main character endures as a prisoner of war and where some have called for a boycott of the movie.

There were concerns right-wing extremists may try to disrupt the last February 6..

The crowd at Theatre Image Forum in Tokyo appeared engrossed in the film, flinching at the torture scenes and sympathizing with the hero, Louis Zamperini.

The distributor said in a statement it decided to go ahead as various views on war should be expressed.

“Unbroken” is based on the true story of Zamperini, an Olympic athlete who was abused in World War II camps until Japan’s defeat in 1945.

Martin Nievera says with finality that he will never marry again As Posted on PEP.ph

D

iretsahang sinabi ni Martin Nievera na hindi na siya magpapakasal uli.

Saad ng Concert King, “I am so allergic to marriage and kawawa naman yung girlfriend ko because I’m sure she’s gonna settle down someday.

“But at this point in my life, I think I last longer with girls who don’t marry… it’s weird!”

Naiintindihan at tanggap ba ng kanyang partner ngayon ang stand niya tungkol sa pagpapakasal?

Sagot ni Martin, “I think you’ll have to ask her.

“Because some girls tolerate this, some girls are happy what they have already.

“My girlfriend has already two children.

So, we’re not looking for a family life.

“Her children have become my children and my children have become her children.

Sa paniniwala ni Martin, may bitbit na pressure ang kasal sa pagsasama ng mag-asawa.

“So, it’s hard, huh!”

“Seems to be, even if you’re not trying, pag married ka, may pressure na kailangan…

Patuloy niya, “I think maybe if we have started without children or without all these baggage, probably we would be married by now.

“Marriage for me is not as important to me as it used to be.

“Actually, I’m scared of it.

“I’m worried if I marry someone, it will end up na naman to something.

“I don’t know why, but the moment you put a ring on it and you make it so public, you eat your words, and I don’t wanna eat my words.

“So, I’m finished with that.”

“Lalo na pag married ka sa showbiz, kailangang ipakita mo sa buong mundo na wala kang problema.

“Imposible naman e. Everybody has a problem.

“So, times two ‘yan kung married ka.

“Tapos kapag yung girlfriend, yung asawa or fiancée hindi kasama sa showbiz, kawawa naman siya.

“That is why I try not to include her in my write-ups because the haters will hate, the bashers will bash.”

February HOROSCOPE ASTROTWINS, ASTROLOGY FORECAST Source: pilipino-express.com Hindi mo man iniisip ang romansa, ito’y kusang lalapit sa iyo. Nasa sa iyo na kung papaypayan mo ang baga ng pag-ibig kung ikaw ay single pa.

Kung may partner ka na, makulay at mainit ang pagmamahalan. Tamang-tama para sa araw ng mga puso. Enjoy!

Masyado ka yatang nagiging galante sa mga kaibigan mo. May oras para diyan. Tapos na ang oras mo. Asikasuhin mo ang pag-iipon ng pera dahil may darating na pangangailangan at ikaw lang ang makakalutas nito. Pamilya ang unahin mo ngayon.

Handa ka na bang umibig? Kung gayon, handa ka na ring isakripisyo ang iyong mga kasaganaang tinatamasa. Hindi niya kayang ibigay sa iyo ang mga material na bagay na nakalakihan mo. Kaya mo bang mabuhay ng gayon? Ikaw lang ang makakasagot.

May darating na hindi mo inasahan – maaaring pera o tao o bagong oportunidad sa negosyo.

Bago mo kagatin, pagaralan mong mabuti lalo na kung kailangan mong mamuhunan ng pera o oras. May darating din na kakatok sa iyong puso, siya na kaya?

Buwenas ang pasok sa iyo ng Pebrero. Kung may sisimulan kang proyekto, ngayon mo na gawin. Kung may mga bata sa pamilya mo – anak o nakababatang kapatid – bigyan mo ng atensyon dahil may malaking problema na hindi niya kayang lutasin.

Huwag kang mag-alala.

May hanapbuhay ang iyong mga kasama at hindi ka nila pababayaan.

Kung kailangan mo ng tulong, hindi sila magdaramot, magsabi ka lang. Pag-aralan mo kung paano mo mapapabuti ang iyong kabuhayan. Hindi pa huli ang lahat.

Huwag ka sanang magmadali.

Kahit lahat ng kaibigan mo ay mayroon nang minamahal at ikaw ay wala pa hanggang ngayon. Magugulat ka na lang dahil darating din siya sa tamang panahon. Maaaring ngayon o sa susunod pang buwan.

Maghintay ka lang.

May kilala kang mayaman kung ituring sa lipunan. Malapit siya sa iyo dahil may tiwala siyang hindi pera ang dahilan ng kabaitan mo sa kaniya. May darating na ahas sa buhay niya at makikita mo agad nito. Pagsabihan mo siya nang mag-ingat siya sa ahas na iyon.

Maganda ang relasyon mo at ng iyong partner sa buhay. Tiwala siya sa iyo kaya huwag mo sanang balewalain ang pagtingin niya sa iyo.

Kung may lalapit sa iyo at magpapahiwatig ng romansa, kung may partner ka na, iwasan mo ang tukso. Malas iyon sa buhay.

Kumusta ang iyong bank account? Kung may sobra, bayaran mo agad ang iyong utang.

Kung kapos pero hindi ka naman magugutom, iwasan mo ang mangutang. May mga gastos ka nitong nakaraang taon na hindi dapat.

Matuto ka sanang magtipid.

Ipagtapat mo na sa kaniya ang iyong nakaraan.

Kung tatanggapin niya, salamat. Kung ang pagtatapat mo ang magiging dahilan ng kaniyang paglayo, salamat din.

Hindi mo kailangan ang tao na hindi ka tatatanggapin ng buung-buo. Ipagsapalaran mo ito.

Kontra-pelo kayo palagi. Kontra ka sa mga sinasabi niya at gayon din siya sa iyo. Ang nakapagtataka, mahal na mahal ninyo ang isa’t isa. Dahil lagi kayong nagbabangayan, akala ng mga kilala ninyo ay malapit na kayong maghiwalay.

Kontento ka ba sa buhay?

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach advised by PNoy about politics As Posted on PEP.ph “Very light conversation.”

Ganito inilarawan ni Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach ang naging closed-door meeting nila ni President Benigno “PNoy” Aquino III sa courtesy call niya sa Malacañang Palace noong January 26.

Inilahad ni Pia ang napag-usapan nila ng Pangulo sa maiksing panayam ni Boy Abunda sa homecoming tribute na inihanda para sa kanya ng ABS-CBN noong January 28.

Biro ng reigning Miss Universe, walang personal na napagusapan, “Because my mom was sitting beside me.”

Pero bawi niya, “Kidding aside, no, because I'm very natural with him, I just asked him what his plans with his 50-plus days remaining before he finishes his term, what he will do after, kung magpapahinga ba siya.”

Sa pagkakataon daw na ito, tinanong ni Pia si PNoy tungkol sa mga naging sagot niya sa Q&A portion ng prestihiyosong beauty pageant, partikular na ang tungkol sa US military presence sa bansa.

“He said that when you sparked the comments of the leftists then you know that you did something right,” nakangiting sabi ng 26-year-old beauty queen.

Samantala, tinanong naman daw ng Pangulo si Pia tungkol sa kanyang interes sa pagsali sa pulitika.

At ang payo raw sa kanya ni PNoy, “I think you really should think about it five times.

"Sabi niya, pag-isipan ko raw ng mga limang beses pa.”

Sa huli, binati raw ni Pia ang Pangulo sa anim na taon niyang pamumuno sa Pilipinas.

“I always thought he was a good leader with good governance.

I told him that.

Remittance company in trouble

Makati RTC orders PSE to seize lBC stocks By: Iris Gonzales (The Philippine Star) January 15, 2016.

Published by the Philippine Star.

T

he Makati Regional Trial Court has ordered the Philippine Stock Exchange to seize the stocks and other personal properties of LBC Express Holdings Inc., according to a report from The Philippine Star.

The report added that "the order was triggered by the P1.8 billion collection case filed by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC) against the Araneta family’s LBC Group."

PDIC is the liquidator and receiver of LBC Development Bank, which closed in 2011.

In a circular posted on its website, the PSE said the Notice of Garnishment will cover “all the goods, effects, stocks, and any other personal properties of the defendants in the possession of the exchange to cover the P1.824 billion” in unpaid service fees.

The defendants in the case representing LBC Express Inc., LBC Development Corp. and LBC Properties Inc., are Juan Carlos Araneta, Santiago Araneta, Fernando Araneta, Monica Araneta, Carlos Araneta, Ma. Eliza Berenguer, Ofelia Cuevas, Apolonio Ilio, Joseph Jeffrey Rodriguez and Arlan Jurado.

According to PhilStar, "LBC earlier said it continues to exert all efforts to fully attend to the needs of its customers and ensure regular ongoing operations."

Remittance company in hot water

Warrant of Arrest was issued to a Filipino owner in Canada

O

n December 2015, a money transfer business “SR Cash Remit” located in Marlborough Mall in Calgary, was closed unexpectedly due to financial issues. This was owned by a Filipino who is currently facing charges from alleged financial complaint. The authorities received 76 complaints from customers who are mostly Filipino. According to them, their loved ones in the Philippines never received the money that they sent through SR Cash Remit.

Some of the customers argued that they have been using the said remittance to send money to the Philippines for a year without any trouble. At first, the service was fast enough and it only took hours for the money to be transferred.

All of a sudden, there was a delay in the transaction and they were told that it would take up to 3 days for their family to receive the money.

An apology message was given by the accused to customers for the inconvenience and delay of her SR Cash Remit services. Also, an assurance

that everything will be settled had been relayed. However, nothing happened and the owner suddenly stopped responding to messages. The authorities issued a warrant of arrest that prompted all people affected from the irregularities to file a complaint and further escalate their issues.

Family Express is also affected by this issue as SR Cash Remit was among their agents that were authorized to receive money from customers. Family Express was the one who advance funds their partner abroad. Thus, SR Cash Remit was expected to transfer the money received from customers to Family Express. However, problem arises.

Here is the timeline prior to the closure of the said remittance center: Around July 5, 2015 – SR Cash Remit issued 3 cheques amounting $80,000 but the cheques bounced due to nonsufficient funds Around July 13, 2015- SR Cash Remit failed to transfer the amount $33,0000 Aug 2015 – SR cash Remit failed

Kung walang bank account, CASH PICK UP ang next best choice. Mabilis din sa SM Mall Business Center (katabi ng Customer Service) ang pick up. Puede din sa BDO branches, mas mahigpit nga lang ang ID requirement kung teller ng bangko ang magdidispense ng pera na padala. Valid government issued photo IDs po ang kailangan i-present.

Maghanda ng 2 IDs para sigurado.
