Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. CONFIRMED: PHIL AND ANGEL HAVE BROKEN UP
What’s up with all these breakups??? First it was Cristine Reyes and Derek Ramsay, and then it was Jennylyn Mercado and Luis Manzano. Now it’s Phil and Angel. Here’s what she posted online:
This is my official statement:
Sa mga naglalabasang balita kung saan na-quote po na nag pa-interview ako, hindi po ito totoo. Wala pa po akong nakakausap about the issue dahil sa totoo lang po hindi ko pa ho kayang kumausap ng kahit sino sa press at nag si-sink in pa lang po samin ngayon ang lahat ng ito. Pasensya na po. Dalawa pa lang po ang nakausap ko, Si Manay Ethel [Ramos] na manager ko at si Darla [Sauler, head writer ng The Buzz at Kris TV] na sinagot ko lang po ang text sa akin dahil naramdaman ko ang sincerity niya although hindi po ako directly nagsalita about sa amin ni Phil. It was also off the record. Sa lahat po ng nagtatanong kung totoo bang hiwalay na kami ni Phil, Totoo po. Sana po maintindihan nyo kung hindi na po namin sasabihin ang dahilan..pero maayos po kaming naghiwalay at mutual decision po ito. Pasensya na po kung hindi po kami makasagot agad tungkol sa status ng aming relasyon. Lalong-lalo na po sa mga sumuporta sa aming dalawa. Hindi po namin kayo binalewala… mahirap lang po talaga kung nasa ganitong sitwasyon. Nagulat na lang kami na naunahan na kami ng balita bago pa man kami makapagusap uli. Salamat po sa lahat ng sumubaybay at sumuporta sa journey namin ni Phil lalo na ho dito sa twitter. Hinding-hindi po namin malilimutan.

Sad news, boys: Hot Korean babe Jinri just left the Philippines to go back to her native South Korea and pursue some serious training in acting. The 25-year old slashie – she’s a model/actress/radio jock/endorser – is known for her sexy photos in several men’s magazine, a radio show on RX 93.1, and a role in the GMA 7 show Vampire ang Daddy Ko. She promised to return but she’s not ruling out joining showbiz in Korea, too.
3. KIM ATIENZA MISSES IT’S SHOWTIME BECAUSE OF RARE DISORDER
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”25171″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”600″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”600″}}]]
Kuya Kim was supposed to be a part of a Mardi Gras-inspired number with Vice Ganda for It’s Showtime yesterday, Oct. 24, for their “Magpasikat Week,” but he ended up just sending a videotaped greeting. He couldn’t make it because he’s still recovering from a rare disease called Guillain Barre syndrome, which made his legs feel weak and led him to being hospitalized. He was discharged last Monday, but is still needs to recuperate fully before going back to his regular shows. Get well soon, Kuya Kim!
4. HOW LUIS IS DOING AFTER SPLIT WITH JENNYLYN
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”25170″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”600″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”600″}}]]
“Life is too short to be sad. You only get a one shot in life.” This is what Luis Manzano told press people after walking for the SM Shoes and Bags fashion show at the SMX Convention Center, after being asked about how he’s coping after his breakup with Jennylyn Mercado. “Why get sad or depressed? Make the most out of every single day.” He added that while he understands why people are sad about the news, he also knows that “things happen for a reason” and that they “just have to part ways.”
5. PAULO AVELINO FINALLY TALKS ABOUT STATUS WITH LJ REYES
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”25169″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”602″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”600″}}]]
Both Paulo and LJ have always been aloof when it comes to talking about their relationship but during the press con for Honesto, where Paulo is one of the stars, he was honest enough to share that he is single and that he is in a complicated relationship with LJ because they have a son (three-year old Ethan Akio). He added that they haven’t been together for quite a while but declined to specify when that set-up started. It was also a mutual decision, according to the Kapamilya hunk.
