James Yap and Kris Aquino
Kris Aquino on Friday denied any romantic links between her and two well-known politicians.
In an exclusive tell-all interview with “Showbiz News Ngayon” host Boy Abunda, Kris Aquino denied being linked to Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Makati Mayor Jejomar “Junjun” Binay.
“Maganda po ang kuwentong ito. Kasi Boy ganito, proclamation ni PNoy (his brother President Benigno Aquino III) sa Batasan. Sinamahan ko si PNoy paakyat. All my sisters were already sitting there, so I went up with him. And then nakita niya si Senator Chiz at sinabi niya, ‘O Kristina, si Senator Chiz.’ And then sinabi ko na ‘Senator, thank you for all the help.’ And then I said this – and may mga nakarinig, so malamang doon nagsimula, hindi ko alam – I said, ‘O, Senator, sa 2016, puwede tayong magtambalan, at may slogan na tayo: Chiz si Krissy!’ And then he said: ‘Game ako diyan!’” she narrated.
“That’s it, Boy. I do not have his number, he does not have my number. I have never seen him again since that time. We barely know each other. Biniro ko lang siya na sa 2016, maganda kaming tandem. Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggagaling ang balita na iyan kasi iyan talaga, sobrang imbento,” she said.
“And again, Boy, he’s married, he has twins. I also know what it’s like na ma-tsimis ang asawa mo na hindi namamatay ang tsismis,” she said.
“Maawa tayo sa asawa niya, maawa tayo sa pamilya niya, and please, maawa kayo sa akin at sa mga kapatid ko. Kasi the last thing I want is to be accused of being a homewrecker,” she added.
Meanwhile, regarding Binay, Kris said that the Makati mayor is not wooing her.
“Kaklaruhin ko po: Hindi siya nanliligaw sa akin. Pero matalik ko siyang kaibigan,” she told Abunda.
However, she admitted that among all the people being linked to her, Binay is “the only one I’ve been communicating with.” Read More
Zanjoe Marudo quits Banana Split to earn “respect.” So comedians don’t earn respect?
Here goes the respect Zanjoe Marudo wishes to earn
So I guess we will be seeing less of Zanjoe Marudo these coming days.
Model turned actor Zanjoe Marudo of Pinoy Big Brother fame reportedly quit his daily gag show Banana Split. I know Zanjoe will be starring opposite my dear friend Cristine Reyes for the Kristine Series but others think it is more than that.
An article on a major broadsheet said that Zanjoe Marudo quit from Banana Split because he feels that he is being disrespected for doing comedy, or stated positively, receiving less respect that a dramatic actor receives.
The article quotes Zanjoe saying, “Gusto kong makuha ‘yong respeto ng ibang tao, ng ibang artista, ng mga katrabaho ko.”
His reason may seem alright on the superficial but wouldn’t that make a backlash on him? His remark insinuates that being a comedian receives substandard respect, so to speak. Read More »
