Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. HHWW: PAPA P AND SHAINA
Despite both of them denying that they have a romantic relationsip, it looks like their actions are speaking louder. After the Oct. 6 episode of ASAP 18 at the Marikina Sports Complex, Piolo Pascual and Shaina Magdayao were spotted HHWW (as in holding hands while walking) on the way to the pick-up point for celebs and staff of the show. (We’re borrowing PEP’s photo, by the way, to prove this incident!) Last Sept. 8, they arrived at the Star Magic Ball separately but left together. And they also had some hot, intimate scenes in the movie On the Job. They may not be confirming anything but we’re pretty sure about what is going on. Guess we’ll just have to wait for that guesting on The Buzz!
2. MIRIAM QUIAMBAO ENGAGED

The former beauty queen/actress/TV host has found love once again! Last Oct. 6, when Miriam was jogging, author/entrepreneur/speaker Ardy Roberto (he wrote the books Heart of Healing, Pera Na Hindi Bitin, and Real Men Are Pogi) surprised her with a marriage proposal with the help of their friends led by Anthony Pangilinan and Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan who held a banner with the message: “Miriam (Babe), Will You Marry Me? Ardy.” Miriam said yes. Congrats to the lovebirds!

Congrats to Jessy Mendiola and the rest of the cast and crew of the ABS-CBN show because its pilot episode last night, Oct. 7, trended on Twitter. Actually, the hashtag #MariaMercedes was still part of the Top 10 trending topics in the country this morning. A grateful Jessy tweeted yesterday, “Salamat po sa pagnood ng pilot episode namin. Sana po nagustuhan niyo ang unang araw ni #mariamercedes bukas po ulit ha?”

Congrats to the sexy singer who just announced on Facebook that she’s “newly pregnant.” However, she shared that she’s “sick as a dog” but promised that she “will stay strong for the little one.” She also asked friends and fans to “pray for me and my baby, please.” The former member of the vocal group Smokey Mountain, who has an 18-year old son (Heaven) with ex-hubby Paco Arespacochaga, recently got engaged to boyfriend Lee Paulsen, the Fil-Aussie dad of the little one in her tummy.

Hunky Derek Ramsay recently shared some more info about his breakup with Cristine Reyes. He told philstar.net that their relationship is the shortest because they were together for just a month, but it’s the longest because “I have a friend for life.” He didn’t go into details about the breakup but said that “it’s just a decision that was made.” He explained: “Walang may kasalanan, walang may mali, walang masama” – meaning there’s no third party involved. Interestingly, the two have an upcoming movie called Trophy Wife.
