Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. IS PAULO ASSUMING HE’LL END UP WITH KC?
A lot of people were surprised when Paulo Avelino revealed last weekend on Buzz ng Bayan that he’s dating KC Concepcion. And when KC Concepcion confirmed it, she clarified on Twitter that they are not exclusively dating and that it’s nothing serious. This made KC look she’s not that interested in him; it also made Paulo look like he’s assuming that everything’s going well with the two of them and that they might even end up together soon. Asked to react on KC’s tweet, he told Pep.ph that he didn’t intend to make it seem like things are getting serious between the two of them. He admitted that they are dating: having dinner, talking, but “nothing more than that.”
