Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. SAM MILBY AND JAKE CUENCA HAVE STOPPED COURTING JESSY MENDIOLA
Interesting how both Sam and Jake declared their intention to court Jessy when her show Maria Mercedes started, and how both seemed to have stopped from doing so now that the show is about to end. In an interview with Pep.ph, Jessy revealed that she doesn’t think Jake is courting her and that he’s just a naturally sweet guy. She also said that she looks at him as an older brother and that “hindi lang talaga talo.” She reveals that Sam looks like he’s stopped courting her, as well, and has given up, especially because he’s busy with other things right now, like his business venture, a coffee shop.

The Kapamilya sure is one busy guy. He’s got a new soap (The Legal Wife) and a new movie (ABNKKBSNPLAko?) – plus he’ll be part of a new soap opera in Malaysia. He revealed during the press con for his new movie that he’ll play a chef in the Malaysian soap, and that scenes will be shot in Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Australia.

The Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw stars broke up four months ago and Kristoffer has been very vocal about how he wants to patch things and reconcile with his ex, admitting that he even got a little depressed after they split ways. However, it looks like Joyce is not entirely sure about getting back together with him. In an interview with Pep.ph, she shared that she doesn’t want to comment on the issue first because she herself doesn’t know what she wants. She’s not putting a period on things, though. Good thing the two have remained friends (despite the initial awkward post-breakup stage), although Joyce reveals that it’s not really the same anymore; they rarely see each other now and they seldom text or call each other.

4. JENNYLYN MERCADO ON GETTING BACK TOGETHER WITH MARK HERRAS
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”46042″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”600″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”600″}}]]
So it looks like ex-lovers Luis and Angel are getting back together; it’s all a matter of time. Because of this, people are wondering whether Jennylyn, Luis’ ex, will also end up back in the arms of her ex Mark Herras. The Rhododra X star thinks it’s too soon, considering how she and Luis parted ways just three months ago. Besides, she’s really happy about her friendship with Mark now, adding that it;s something they can keep forever. So what does she think about the whole Luis-and-Angel-getting-back-together issue? She told Pep.ph that she wishes them well “kahit papaano naman” and that “wala na ako dun, kung anuman ang meron sila.” (Photo: mercadojenny Instagram account)
