Latest photo of Tarek (a.k.a. Tony Phillipp); Tarek's appearance during a fashion show in Riyadh dubbed as "Ystilo"

In my recent visit to Tarek's friendster account, i was surprised to see the new photos for the promotion of GMA's Daisy Syete Season 18 (Prince Charming and the Maids)..



Way back in Riyadh, Tarek appeared in several fashion shows but we didn't thought that someday he will take our advise seriously to enter showbiz. Seeing great potentials from him - the height, the looks and everything, we encouraged him to try his luck in showbiz coz we're sure that he can easily find a notch in showbiz.

Finally, he grabbed the opportunity in showbiz.

In the Philippines, watch Daisy Syete every Monday to Friday after Eat Bulaga. In Riyadh, it will take 6- 8 months before this Episode 18 will be finally be shown in GMA Pinoy TV.

Is Jon Carlo (JC) de Vera really gay?

from Abante by Rey Pumaloy...


Matagal nang alam ni Aifah ang tungkol MATAGAL sa tsismis na ‘bading’ si JC de Vera. Si Aifah ang Sex Bomb Girl na nakarelasyon noon ni JC.
Sabi ni Aifah, ang kaibigan niyang bading ang nagparating sa kanya ng tsismis na bading daw si JC. At siyempre, pinaimbestigahan niya ang tsismis na `yon tungkol kay JC.
May mga tsismis pa nga noon na kesyo may karelasyon daw na bisexual si JC. Na kesyo sobrang guwapo raw ng bisexual na `yon.
Pero siyempre negatibo ang resulta ng imbestigasyon ni Aifah. Hindi nga raw bading si JC.
Anyway sinabi ni Aifah na mahigit, isang taon din na inabot ang relasyon nila ni JC, at ni minsan ay hindi niya napansin na may pagkabading ito. Ang paliwanag ni Aifah, talagang malamya lang daw magsalita si JC dahil edukado ito at conservative pa ang family nito.
May breeding daw si JC. At hindi nga ito katulad ng ibang artista na barubal kumilos at magsalita.
Naniniwala si Aifah na may nang-iintriga lang kay JC. Pero `yun na nga, kayang patunayan ni Aifah na hindi bading ang kanyang ex-boyfriend.
Nakakatuwa si Aifa dahil kahit matagal na silang hiwalay ni JC, nagawa pa rin niya itong ipagtanggol sa mga malisyosong tsismis.
Pero teka lang, hindi ba at super-deny si Aifah noon na boyfriend niya si JC? Ang sabi nga noon, natakot daw kasi si Aifah kay Annabelle Rama, ang manager ni JC.

Men of Desire

These are the men of my dreams...



John Lloyd Cruz, Jc de Vera, Marky Cielo, Kian Kazemi, JR Siaboc and Luis Manzano



JOHN LLOYD CRUZ

The boy-next-door bloomed into a star. And along with that came the changes in his nature. Nobody can question his undeniable talent. He had given poignant performances lately in all his movies and teleseryes from Star Cinema. I won’t forget his bubbly performance as Elly especially the confrontation scene where (Bea) found out his secret and decided to leave. It was the toughest performance of Lloydie that I truly admired.

Since his Tabing Ilog days, I always dreamt that someday we could spent time together in a secluded and quite place where we can both run naked.

JC DE VERA

JC may have taken time to blossom from being a dependable actor to the exalted status of being recognized as a good-rated actor. Having a good and right role to portray, he will definitely recognized as the next Albert Martinez. His having a lean and muscular body add to my desire. I got more interested to know him well since one time, I read a blind item about his sexuality.


MARKY CIELO

I don’t know, but there something that I like for this guy. He is much different from those mestizo-guys whom I adore. His smile and his being naive add more to my delight.

KIAN KAZEMI

Who wouldn’t go wild for this housemate of Kuya? With his flawless skin, good physique and sweetness, I think he has the quality that I will love him most, except for his voice. Knowing the fact that he is half-Persian, hmmm.. there seems to be a big thing clutched in his pants. I envied Nel at the house….

JR SIABOC

The Dream Academy 2nd placer, Jay- Siaboc, has been added to my list. His sexiness on stage and a typical “promdi” looks, reminds me of my experiences in my hometown.

LUCKY MANZANO


He truly gives inspiring performances in most of his films. How I wish I could say what Ate Vi’s said two decades ago “I-love-you-lucky”… I love his well-proportioned and masculine body. I kept a copy of his daring pictorial I got from a magazine.

Bakit apektado ang mga Pilipino sa ipinakitang ugali ni Wendy sa loob ng Bahay?

Noong pumasok si Wendy sa bahay ni Kuya, nakita ko kaagad kung anong ugali meron siya. Hindi na ako nagtaka dahil nga sa lumaki siyang mahirap at iba ang kinalakhang environment.

Sa maikling panahong pamamalagi niya sa bahay, hindi naipakita ni Wendy kung bakit isa siya sa pinili ni Kuya sa bahay. Lumabas siya kaagad….

Alalahanin natin na bawat isa sa kanila ay salamin ng ating buhay.

Ibinalik sa bahay si Wendy dahil alam ni Kuya na maging eye-opener ito sa iba at ipakita sa bawat isa sa atin na maraming Wendy sa labas ng bahay. Maraming gaya ni Wendy o mas malala pa.

Kung anong ugali meron ang bawat isa sa kanila, kadalasan ganoon din tayo sa totoong buhay dahil iba’t ibang kultura at pag-uugali ang ipinapakita sa atin sa reality show na ito.

Iyan ang layunin ng PBB… ang tanggapin natin ang bawat eksenang ating napapanood dahil iyon ang totoong nagyayari sa ating araw-araw na pamumuhay.

Mahirap itago ang totoong ugali sa bawat segundo ng ating buhay, kaya sa loob ng 126 araw, nakita natin ang tunay na ugali ng bawat isa. Mahirap maging hipokrito sa loob ng bahay dahil bawat sulok ay may mga kamerang nag-dodokumento sa bawat galaw.

Madalas tayong mag husga sa ating nakikita, pero hindi natin alam na sa paghuhusga natin, kabilang tayo sa mga hinuhusgahan natin.

Pinakita ni Wendy ang totoo niyang pagkatao.. walang masama doon.

Nagalit tayo sa kanya… Kinamuhian natin ang ugali niya. Minsan, pinagtawanan natin ang kanyang ginawa.

Sa mga sumunod na araw, unti-unti, naging masama si Wendy sa atin dahil sa pinakita niyang ugali na ikinabigla natin.

Nagmumura...palengkera....mahilig mag palipad hangin.... makasarili.... mapanghusga... mapagbintang.... mapag-maniobra sa ibang tao... hindi marunong tumanggap ng tama…at kung ano pa.

Dito naging matagumpay si Kuya sa adhikain niyang maipakita sa atin ang masamang ugali mayroon ang ibang Pilipino.. ang kabilang mukha na hindi natin nakikita o di kaya ay nagbubulag-bulagan...

Kinamuhian natin si Wendy.. Minumura natin siya… Pero may karapatan ba tayong husgahan siya?

Sa pagkagalit natin sa kanya, minsan ba inisip natin o binigyan ba natin ng pagkakataon na suriin ang ating mga sarili?

Bago tayo humusga, naitanong ba natin na ako ba’y katulad ni Wendy? Ang nakikita ba ng mga mata ko sa telebisyon habang pinapanood ko si Wendy ay sarili ko ang aking nakikita? Ako ba si Wendy? Ang ugali ko bang ito ay nakikita ng ibang tao at hindi ko nakikita? Ang panghuhusga ba na ginagawa ko kay Wendy ang ginagawa ng ibang tao sa akin na hindi ko nalalaman?

Madalas, hindi natin alam na si Wendy ay nasa ating sarili… na may mga ugali tayong kahalintulad sa ugali ni Wendy, pero binabalewala natin ito..

Ang nangyari kay Wendy at ang iba pang kaganapan sa loob ng bahay, kahit may nagsasabing hindi maganda at ayaw na nila sa nasabing palabas, ay naging matagumpay para kay Kuya na imulat tayo sa katotohanan at suriin ang ating sarili…. na ito ang katotohanan na kailangan nating tanggapin.. na kailangan ng pagbabago sa ating sarili.

Tunay na makabuluhan sa akin ang PBB dahil sa ibinigay sa aking pagkakataon upang malaman na si Wendy ay minsan ay nasa aking katauhan.. na ang nakikita ko sa PBB ay hindi si Wendy kundi ang sarili ko. Kailangan kong magbago para mawala ang Wendy sa sarili ko… Na kailangan mangibabaw ang Beatriz at Mickey sa aking katauhan upang ganap na maging kapakipakinabang ako sa ating lipunan.

Salamat Wendy....Nawa’y marami pa ang mamulat sa katotohanan.....

Wendy's Hate Email

I'm an avid viewer of Pinoy Big Brother since the Season 1. Lauren Dyogi admitted that PBB now had to be commercialized. Mas effective daw pag pinag-uusapan.

However, the latest feud between Gee-ann, Bea and Wendy seems to be unhealthy...

Anyway, since the start i already dislike Wendy and Bruce coz i know they pretend to be lovers, in fact they belong to same agency, Mercator Modeling Agency or read in this blog

Here's an email about Wendy, which she vehemently denied..

Facts about Wendy

i think even if how hard we try to hide our real “mukha” lalabas at lalabas din to. i know wendy from FEU (my school too) the main reason why she passed her mascomm degree is because she ****ed (sorry for the term) our professor last february. (this is true we have pix and cams) inside the speech laboratory all schoolmates know
this. She said shes went to japan as a dancer…it is true but she works in a prostitute house there and is charged $150 (pls convert to yen) a night.
Shes had controversial issues in FEU before about her story because she denied this when called to explain herself(kailangan ng FEU na mag background check sa students for school image) sabi ba naman niya “i went to japan as a cultural dancer”
may cultural bang inuuwi at binababoy ng mga customer?(confidential files
from 2005 feu) IT is true that she is a good person but trust me when i say
this. she should not deny the fact of her past so she can gain advantage over other people. SHe is NOT POOR.
her last boyfriend was a Japanese DOM (62) named Hakimoto Ikita who gave her
more than a million pesos. After she got the money she enrolled herself AGAIN IN FEU. this was around 2003. and left her lover to rot in Japan.
while she was with the JAP guy. she was engaged sexually with my cousin
T.H. Morales. also a student in FEU. reason they broke up. He caught wendy
in bed with another DOM. It is sad to admit that my cousin is a shabu addict
and so is wendy.they have sessions with drugs and after they have loud
*** ( i should know my cousin lives next to me i can hear them). I am not
against wendy or anything…and im happy that this might be her next step to
changing her bad ways of using people for money…i am just sad that she keeps
on making herself look “nakaka awa” to other people on tv so she can get more
votes. i just want her to be real and honest of who she is…she is hiding from a beautiful face and a sexy body… all i want is her honesty.

I pity Bruce he seems to be a nice guy to fall for someone like wendy…i told
you shes an evil genius. she has her ways of convincing people to like her…
through her lies and many faces. i bet after big brother and shes a star…she
will never look at bruce the same way like shes trying to portray now. She
has used a lot of people already…i know miss M guidance councelor.
sometimes shes saddened of wendy’s personality problem and wendy being a
user.
if you found this article rude…my apologies
if you found this article enlightening… thank you

im hoping that the true PBB housemate deserving to win should win…but i hope
wendy won’t coz she is not deserving to me.

thank you…

Ma.Kathleen Morales Espiritu


Of course, Wendy Valdez denies all these allegations.

“Kung makikipagrelasyon ako, bakit sa professor ko pa sa college? Wala pong katotohanan ‘yun,” gulat na pahayag ni Wendy.

“Nakikiusap pa nga ako sa profs ko nu’ng nag-aaral pa ako na ipasa ako, eh, dahil sa absences ko sa mga shoot ko or pictorials,” dagdag nito.

Ayon kay Wendy, wala siyang kilalang gano’ng pangalan na nagkakalat ng maling info sa kanya — at sa palagay niya’y may naninira lang talaga sa kanya.

“Eight years akong pabalik-balik sa college dahil talagang may financial problem ang family ko. Nag-aral, nag-stop dahil kailangan kong magtrabaho, aral ulit, stop uli... Alam naman ng lahat ‘yun. Hindi totoo ‘yung sinasabi nilang DOM!” pagtutuwid ni Wendy.

“Hindi na ako naaapektuhan sa mga ganyang tsismis. Kung hindi ka mali-link sa politician, sa DOM.

“Ang masasabi ko lang, kung may million pesos na ako, hindi na sana kami nakatira sa maliit na bahay. Lumipat na sana kami at nagpatayo ng bagong bahay, di ba?” mariiing banggit ni Wendy.

Anyway, i vote for Beatriz Saw

Terms of Un-Endearment

Its more than a month that the Ruffayah-Ylmas has been the core of showbiz intrigues and selling like hot cakes after the Kris-James-Hope brouhaha.

As a matter of fact, Kris Aquino thanked Ruffa for making her life in serenity because people savor more Ruffa’s marriage on the rock than Kris-James marital problem.

As the news escalate from Ruffa’s confession to divorce Ylmas to her admission of unpublished marriage to Richard Daloia, there were many people meddling and make feast of every exclusive news… more scoops and explosive revelations unveiled publicly.

Now, its not only the Gutierrez family involved, but its Ruffa-Annabel-Ylmas-Dolly Ann. Branded as Brutus-Bruhilda war.

Recently, Ylmas declared all-out-war with Ruffa saying that he is ready to play games with Ruffa where in the end, both of them will be losers.

Ruffa answers Ylmas point-by-point and revealed the real agony she experienced during their 7 year old relation.

Dolly Ann feels vindicated about the truth of her articles about Ruffa’s previous marriage and Ylmas family business. She exposed Ruffa’s previous marriage to Richard Daloia in Nevada in 2001.

But then the saga doesn’t stop. One accusing each other. Garbage in the closets are out.. Ano ba kayang baho ang ilalabas???? Abangan natin ang No 1 soap operang ito…..

Here are some comments from readers:

i believe ruffa that yilmaz made all those threats. sino ba ang hindi magwawala upon discovering that ang wife mo pala ay asawa ng iba at ikaw ay kabit lang? this, after you have showered all sorts of luxuries on your wife, as in you gave her everything she wanted. whether yilmaz is intent on following through or not, remains to be seen. but i repeat, any guy in yilmaz's position regardless of nationality, religious affiliation, or country of origin would fly into such a rage. – Liwayway

ikinasal si ruffa kay richard daloia in 1999, she met ylmaz in 2000..she filed for a divorce against richard in 2002.. ruffa & ylmaz gor married in 2004.. ang bilis naman ng pangyayari.. she said that when she was young.. she did a lot of crazy things like getting married in las vegas and eventually having discreet relationship(s) while still legally married.. what about now? do u think karma has something to do with all the troubles she's goin through?? – Tiya Dely

From the very beginning sa salita ni Tita Anabelle obvious na sinasaktan nya talaga si Ruffa, panoorin nyo yung interview lahat kay Anabelle, syempre bilang isang ina maawa ka sa anak kapag sinasaktan ng lalaki. I believe with Annabelle and I believe with Ruffa na talagang pinagtatakpan nya lang ang asawa nya para di na lumala alang alang sa mga anak nya, kaso etong si Yilmaz talagang ayaw patalo kasi sa isip nya kayang kaya nyang gawin kahit anong gusto nya. Kaya tama lang ang ginawa ni Ruffa na hiniwalayan nya si Yilmaz. – Ivy Ivan


i know it's a shame to find sheer pleasure and amusement with all thats happening with the people in the show biz industry, particularly Greta and Ruffa. its not nice at all too to make a complete mockery out their condition and add insult to the injury but on second thought i find it rather completely entertaining how these 2 women really live their pagiging "show biz" literally. todo na eh.
im not a big fan of Ruffa nor Gretta nor am i interested in bashing at their crooked peronalities. i leave it to the other pepters! pero naloka ako sa interview ng lola Ruffa niyo. i know this issue about Ruffa and Ylmaz will linger on for quite a while and overly redundant na pero sa dami ng chance niyo to speak the truth mantakin niyong ngayon pa siya kuno nagkalakas ng loob to tell the truth, at least sa akala niya. eh susme di nga alam ng mudra niyang si Annabelle na kinasal siya. ang dami niyang pasabog bigla na negative kay Ylmaz. typical na pangontra pero sayang, damaged na ang credibility ng lola niyo. – west tri

umpisa pa lang ng pagsasama nila bago naganap ang pekeng kasalan sa Pinas ay sinasaktan na siya, bakit nakisama pa rin siya ng 4 taon kay yilmaz...dahil ba sa PERA??? at noon pa man ay nakakaalis siya ng istanbul bakit bumabalik pa rin siya doon dahil ba rin sa PERA? ngayon di na talaga siya babalik at naglakas loob ng siyang aminin na battered wife siya...bakit??? dahil nabuking na siya'y kasal kay richard d. at talagang mabububog na nga siya..takbo ruffa takbo....hayan na ang kasong bigamy sa iyo!!! – pinay cali

Filipino consider showbiz news as part of their daily lives.. Siguro, nakasanayan na natin ang sumagap ng tsismis at gawin itong almusal, pananghalian at hapunan… we are critics of other’s failures and weaknesses, pero ang hindi natin alam may mga similar instances din tayo gaya ng nangyayari sa iba.. Sabi nga sa bible. “He who have no sin, can cast the first stone”…

Ewan ko, basta bahala sila sa buhay nila, bahala din ako…..To Each his own....
