Judai and Ryan Not Bothered By Pregnancy Rumors

Latest rumors saying that Judy Ann Santos and fiancé Ryan Agoncillo were expecting a child have been swirling but the couple quickly denied this during their recent interview on "The Buzz."

"Kung susumahin natin ‘yung times na tsinismis siyang buntis, siguro mga 20 na ‘yung mga anak namin kung sakaling natuloy lahat ‘yon," Ryan quipped. "Hindi na namin pinapansin ‘yon."

Meanwhile Ryan revealed that he and Judy Ann have already chosen an ideal location for their future dream house and that his next target is to begin building it.

"Nasa balak ko na ‘yon. Kumbaga, to do this ko na ‘yon in the near future," Ryan shared.

Meanwhile, Judy Ann reiterated that there is no specific date yet as to when their wedding is going to take place. "We cannot actually say kung anong date kasi hindi pa namin talaga napag-uusapan. It can happen this year, but it will definitely happen."

Besides their personal lives, both Judy Ann and Ryan are busy with their careers. Ryan just came back from hosting Pinoy Fear Factor in Argentina, while Judy Ann is shooting her next teleserye, Humingi Ako Sa Langit, which is due to start really soon on ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida.

The actress, who is playing a nurse on the teleserye said that she prepared for her role to make sure that she is convincing on her part. "Nag-observe ako at nanood ako ng mga (American medical dramas) gaya ng Grey’s Anatomy, House, MD. Tinignan ko kung paano sila kumilos," she said.

She added that her preparations also include observing doctors and nurses whenever she goes to a hospital for a check-up and the medical staff present during the show’s actual taping.

Piolo is Impressed With Osang’s Professionalism In ‘Manila’

Some people believe that Piolo Pascual is the reigning King of Primetime Bida for he has proven that he’s an actor worth his salt time and again. Indeed, he continues to widen his horizons by venturing into his third indie film titled "Manila," a tribute to two of the most critically-acclaimed filmmakers in the Philippine cinema, the late Ishmael Bernal and Lino Brocka.

Inspired by "Manila By Night" and "Jaguar," the two-part movie portrays an honest depiction of the cruel realities of street-life in the slums of Manila. Far-removed from his poster boy image, the country’s ultimate heartthrob plays a role of a drug addict and then a bodyguard of a merciless city official who betrays his loyalty.

Now in its post-production stage, Piolo, who also happens to be the co-producer of this indie film, feels very happy that he was able to finish filming it just before he started "Land Down Under" by Star Cinema. Incidentally, his sense of pride extends to his co-stars in his latest artistic endeavor particularly Rosanna Roces who plays his mother in the first part of the film (where all the scenes are shot in full daylight).

Despite the controversial actress’s pasaway image, Piolo reveals that Rosanna has been nothing but professional from the moment she learned that she was going to be a part of the cast.

"May call time siya na 3 a.m. She was there on time, never kaming na-delay because of her. She even visited our set before siya mag-shoot, twice, just to have a feel of how it is to be a mother kasi first time kaming magka-trabaho. And she's so supportive, napakasarap niyang ka-trabaho, ang gaan," he says.

Apparently, their first scene together proves to be a challenging one because Rosanna has to drag Piolo from the hospital to their home while viciously hitting him in the process (perhaps somewhat reminiscent of Osang’s terrible mother-daughter relationship with Roxanne Guinoo in Sineserye Presents Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos). After taking several shots of the brutal sequence, Piolo explains that a little pain on his part was to be expected.

"Only because it had to be realistic. Yung eksena kasi madaming shots eh so she was compelled to hit me a couple of times, more than five times. Yung iba daya na kasi syempre nahihiya na din siya."

With such a promising plot, it seems that both Piolo and Rosanna are out to wow indie film enthusiasts as they are both respected artists in the entertainment industry.

"She's really very professional. Enjoy akong nakasama siya. I wish there’d be more time and other projects na magkakasama kami ng mas matagal na panahon," Piolo remarks.

Directed by Adolf Alix, Manila’s all-star cast also includes Jodi Sta. Maria, Alessandra de Rossi, Angelica Panganiban, Jon Avila, and William Martinez among others.

Sam Milby Prepares For His First Solo Concert

Popular young actor Sam Milby will prove his versatility as he readies for his first major solo cocert dubbed as "The Rockoustic Heartthrob" on October 25th at the Aliw Theater.

The word "Rockoustic" according to Milby is the combination of acoustic and rock songs that he is going to perform for the concert.

Milby said that he is now busy preparing for the show.

"Malapit na mag-start ang mga rehearsals namin at yun ang kailangan kong gawin. Maraming maraming rehearsals para handang handa ako," Milby said.

He said that as part of the preparations for the show they are now completing the list of songs that he is going to sing.

"Papakinggan pa din yung mga kanta na kakantahin ko para i-memorize yung kanta," Milby said.

The actor admitted that he is nervous for his upcoming concert. But he said that he will surely give his best to satisy his audience.

"Mahirap kasi first time ko ito, and I'm the shy type. I'm a "stage fright" person, pero I hope to overcome my fear and have fun. May pressure din kasi first solo concert dapat maganda yung first," he said.

Journey's Pineda

To make Milby's concert more memorable, popular rock band Journey's lead vocalist Arnel Pineda will be part of the show.

Milby said that he is really excited to see Pineda and it will be a great pleasure if he could perform a duet with Journey's main man.

"Wala pa silang sinabi kung may duet pero sobra kung maka-duet... he's from a famous international band," he said.

Milby said he hasn't had the chance to meet Pineda. He said that if they will perform together, he will make sure he gets to choose which parts he will sing.

"He will take the high notes, I will take the low notes," Milby joked.

No love

"We are really concentrating on our careers," this is what Milby says when asked about rumored girlfriend Anne Curtis after reports surfaced that they already parted ways.

Milby admitted that they had problems but added that these were already solved. He said they are both busy with showbiz commitments, so they both decided to focus on their work first.

The actor also denied rumors that the cause of their rift was Curtis’ intimate scenes for the movie “Baler” with actor Jericho Rosales.

“Ang daming nagsasabi na tungkol sa akin na tungkol kay Jericho. Walang ganyan. Kami parehas, ako medyo seloso, medyo selosa din siya pero wala kaming problemang ganyan,” he said.

Milby said that right now Curtis is busy with “Dyosa”, while he is busy with his concert and a movie under Star Cinema.

Dennis Trillo nervous about his title role in Gagambino

Nag-pictorial na ang buong cast ng bagong telefantasya ng GMA-7, ang Gagambino, na pinagbibidahan ni Dennis Trillo noong September 16 sa GMA Network Center.

Sa naturang pictorial -- kung saan kasama rin sina Katrina Halili, Nadine Samonte, Jean Garcia, Bernadette Allyson, Isabel Oli, Mart Escudero, at Jennica Garcia—inamin ni Dennis na may kaba siyang nararamdaman sa pagbibida niya sa Gagambino.

Unang-una na dahil ang Gagambino ang papalit sa timeslot ng top-rating na Dyesebel. Pakiramdam ni Dennis ay baka mahirapan silang pantayan man lang ang ratings ng Dyesebel.

stars"May pressure nga doon pa lang. Siyempre, marami ang nag-e-expect na maging kasing-taas namin ang Dyesebel. Ang dasal ko lang naman ay makapantay man lang. Hindi na ako siguro hahangad pa na talunin yung naging ratings nila. Pero kung makakuha kami ng mas mataas, matutuwa pa rin naman kami, di ba? At least, na-meet namin ang expectations nila kahit papa'no," pahayag ni Dennis sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

Pangalawa ay first time ni Dennis na maging solong bida sa isang primetime series. Huli siyang naging lead sa telefantasya na Zaido, pero kasama niya rito sila Aljur Abrenica at Marky Cielo. Naging leading man naman siya sa mga afternoon drama series na Kung Mahawi Man Ang Ulap at Magdusa Ka, kung saan nakatambal niya ang leading ladies niya ngayon sa Gagambino na sina Nadine Samonte at Katrina Halili.

Kaya para kay Dennis, iba raw ngayon sa Gagambino dahil nasa title role siya.

"Mas nakakakaba dahil parang bitbit ko ang buong show. Sa akin nga pinagkatiwala ang Gagambino na project and it's up to me na pagandahin ang bawat episode na mapapanood nila.

"But of course, hindi ko naman magagawa ‘yan na ako lang. Maganda ang cast na nilagay nila, lalo na ang mga leading ladies ko na sina Nadine at Katrina na kailan ko lang naman nakatrabaho pareho. Lahat naman kami, nagdarasal na maging maganda ang pagtanggap nila sa bagong telefantasya na ito ng Kapuso network."

No Media Fanfare

Naging tahimik at walang media fanfare ang first birthday celebration ng baby boy ni Dennis na si Calix Andreas last September 13. Desisyon daw ni Dennis at ng ina ni Calix na si Carlene Aguilar na maging tahimik at hindi maging parang circus ang first birthday ng kanilang anak.

"Yun naman ang gusto naming dalawa para makaiwas na rin sa anumang gulo or tsismis, di ba? Kami naman ni Carlene, nagkakasundo kami sa ganyang bagay, lalo na when it involves our son Calix.

"Naintindihan naman kami ng mga friends namin sa media na walang big coverage ng birthday ni Calix. Gusto namin ng tahimik lang para enjoy lahat. Mahirap na kasi na kapag may media, may mga masasabi pa ang ibang tao. Mabuti na yung wala na lang para tahimik at maayos na naidaos namin ang kaarawan ni Calix," pagtatapos ni Dennis.

Actress Rita Avila Launches Inspirational Book

Actress Rita Avila recently launched an inspirational book at the Mall of Asia SMX function hall in Roxas Boulevard with simple rites.

“8 Ways to Comfort with Grace” is a booklet written by a grieving mom on a lost child. Avila may surprise readers with her not-exactly-conventional thoughts about people’s behavior on grief.

All centering on her sad moments when she and her husband director Erick (EM) Reyes lost their three-week old son Elia Jesu E. Reyes in 2006, Avila’s prescriptions on how to cope with loneliness and hopelessness are very frank and candid.

As part of the Manila International Book Fair celebration, St. Paul’s Publishing hosted the launch of Avila's compressed, tight and direct revelation of her experiences.

The book however bite-sized and missal-typed offers concrete advice on the right attitude when attending a funeral wake, condoling with bereaved ones, talking to the grieving party after the tragedy, and the like.

The author advises mourners not to use clichés like “Your loved one is in heaven now,” when trying to console the bereaved.

Avila said one should check first the religion of the bereaved ones before mouthing such hackneyed phrases.

According to her account, when somebody reprimanded her one day after the death of her son not to cry and simply move on, she got upset and wished that person dead. She said she was serious in that wish. How could she move on so suddenly, she asked, when her son had just died the day before the cremation?

Avila also said fewer and shorter words are better during condoling instead of kilometric sentences of wisdom and consolation.

Asked if they had any plans of having another child, she replied, “Wala pa. Hindi pa panahon.”

No Truth To Rumors of Ely Buendia's Death

Former Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia dead? Perish the thought.

This, in essence was the response of Day Cabuhat, Ely's manager, after rumors of Buendia's death circulated like wildfire early this week.

"He (Ely) is alive and well and eating pistachios," Cabuhat said.

Cabuhat said the 37-year-old vocalist just laughed at reports that he had died after undergoing an angioplasty last September 1 following the aborted Eraserheads' reunion concert last month.

Buendia experienced chest pains and reportedly collapsed backstage after the first set of the long-awaited reunion concert held at the Fort Bonifacio Open Field in Taguig City on August 30. He was transferred to the Philippine Heart Center (PHC) the next day after being treated at the Makati Medical Center's emergency room.

Cabuhat assured Buendia's fans and supporters that the Pupil frontman is now doing better and is recovering from surgery.

Charice earns rave reviews from NYTimes, NY Post

Is Charice's star ever going to dim? By the looks of it, not anytime soon.

Fresh from the success of her performance in the concert of international pop star Celine Dion at Madison Square Garden, sixteen-year-old Charice continues to gain more fans after two major newspapers, the New York Times and the New York Post, heaped praises on her performance last September 15. (Watch a video clip of that duet here.)

In an article published September 16, reviewer Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described Charice's voice as "impressive" and praised the young diva for giving a rougher, more emotional edge to her performance of Dion's hit song "Because You Loved Me."

"They performed 'Because You Loved Me', though Ms. Dion mostly stayed out of the way as Ms. Pempengco explored the song’s heretofore unheard rougher edges, with ample gesticulations and melisma.

"As Ms. Pempengco brought the crowd to its feet, Ms. Dion struck poses behind her: awestruck wonder, heartfelt empathy, ambient triumph," the New York Times review read.

A separate review written by Dan Aquilante of the New York Post described Charice's performance as the brightest moment of the Celine Dion concert.

"One of the most interesting turns in this show was the MSG debut of 16-year-old vocal prodigy Charice Pempengco, whose manager, Oprah Winfrey - that's right - secured the Philippine singer a duet with Celine for the song 'Because You Loved Me.'

"The Charice segment was the night's brightest moment. The teen was able to blast notes with Celine-like power, but she was also able to get in touch with the song's emotions," the review read.

Online videos of Charice's performance at the Dion concert showed people giving a standing ovation to the young Filipina after the duet.

Before they performed, Dion introduced Charice to the audience as a Filipina whose voice "can literally blow the roof off Madison Square."

"Charice vowed to save her mom from a life of desperation and despair. You know, through prayers and dreams and God-given talent, an incredible voice, Charice entered and won every singing contest in her native country and eventually, was noticed by such influential people such as Oprah and Oprah took her under her wings and David Foster joined in," Dion said.

She said she invited Charice as a guest to her concert after seeing the girl perform on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

After inviting Charice to the stage, Dion praised the vocal prodigy and asked if she was nervous. When Charice answered yes, Dion said she always remembered to take the advice given by her manager and future husband, Rene Angelil, when she first started singing at the age of 12.

"He told me 'Celine, I know you're nervous. Don't be scared. You love to sing. When you go up there, you'll be nervous. Don't be.' I will give you an image that you can think about. Think that all the people you see in front of you are your brothers and sisters. You are singing in your living room and it's your family," Dion told Charice.

Charice then said that she was ready to sing and dedicated their song to her mother, Raquel.

Ever the gracious performer, Dion let Charice take the lead in the song - allowing the young singer to show off her vocal prowess that brought the house down.

"You did amazing, and the roof of the Madison (blew) up tonight," Dion said after the performance, adding that she could not wait until Charice had her own concert in Madison Square Garden.

"When you do perform in Madison Square, are you going to invite me? I love you and I can not wait to be with you to perform here for a whole concert," she added before Charice left the stage to more applause.

'The Most Talented Girl in the World'

Charice's whirlwind rise to popularity started after YouTube videos of her jaw-dropping performances caught the attention of popular US TV host Ellen Degeneres. Her performance at the "Ellen Degeneres Show" later led to appearances in the Oprah Winfrey show as well as performances with international stars Michael Buble and Josh Groban.

Charice also performed with renowed tenor Andrea Bocelli in his hometown in Italy.

In the episode titled "Dream Comes True", Oprah tracked the rags-to-riches story of Charice starting with how she once witnessed how her father almost killed her mother in a fit of rage before neighbors stopped him.

Charice said it was then that she and her mom decided to live their own lives away from their father. Charice's mom worked 16-hour days, six days a week to make ends meet while Charice signed up for more than 80 contests to help her mother.

"I really want[ed] to help Mom," she told Oprah. "When I'm joining singing contests, and I won some $50, she was, like, 'Okay, we're going to have some food for one month, and we're very happy.'"

She was later able to save enough of her contest winnings to help her mother pay for an apartment. In 2005, she joined the ABS-CBN talent contest "Little Big Star" where she placed 2nd runner-up to contest winner Sam Concepcion.

The series of YouTube videos posted by an avid fan later led to Charice performing at Star King, a famous talent show in South Korea, on October 2007.

But it was Charice's performance in the Oprah Winfrey Show last May that cemented her claim to fame. After hearing Charice sing, Oprah said she couldn't get the little girl with the big voice out of her head and invited her back to the show.

Instead of flying back to the Philippines after her appearance on The Oprah Show, producers pulled Charice off the plane and brought her back to Harpo Studios. Then, Oprah called legendary producer David Foster to see what the starmaker could do for Charice.

Oprah, who once called Charice "The Most Talented Girl in the World", says she is impressed not just with Charice's voice but with her attitude in life.

"One of the things I love most about Charice is that no matter what obstacles she's faced in her life, she's never given up on her dream of something better," Oprah said.

Antoinette Tauz updated on ex-BF Dingdong Dantes' career

Sa pamamagitan ng Pinoy TV sa US, updated pa rind aw sa showbiz happening sa Pilipinas, lalo na sa takbo ng career ng kanyang ex-boyfriend na si Dingdong Dantes, si Antoinette Tauz na nakabase na ngayon sa Las Vegas, Nevada.

Nasusubaybayan pa rin daw ni Antoinette ang career ex-BF niya at alam daw ng magandang dalaga na hot na hot ang love team nina Dingdong at Marian Rivera sa “Dyesebel," nangungunang telefantasya ng Kapuso Network.

“I’m very happy for him… I’ve always believe in him…that he will reach this point and even beyond…never have any doubts for him," pahayag ng aktres sa report ng Chika Minute portion ng GMA news 24 Oras.

Masaya ring ibinalita ni Antoinette na maganda ang nangyayari sa pagsisikap niyang ma- penetrate ang Hollywood. Katunayan, dalawang buwan na raw siyang nag-taping para sa isang bagong show doon kung saan pitong mga baguhang artista ang kanyang makakasama.

“I’m working for a pilot right now so (I’m) keeping my fingers crossed sana things would go through… and if they do, it’s going to be in a major network," kwento ng aktres.

“Pero I can’t talk about it yet, let’s see what happens next alam mo naman ang showbiz."

Bukod sa pag-arte, abala rin si Antoinette sa isang magazine na itinayo ng kumpanyang pag-aari nila kung saan isa siya sa mga editor. Una nilang naging cover sa magazine si Pinoy boxing champ Manny Pacquiao at pagkatapos ay si Fil-Am rapper na si Apple De Ap ng Black Eyed Peas.

Umaasa si Antoinette na makatutulong ang magazine upang mapansin ng Hollywood ang talento ng mga Filipino-American.

Inaasahan na uuwi sa bansa si Antoinette para dumalo sa kasal ng kanyang kaibigan na si Chesca Garcia kung saan isa siya sa mga magiging bridesmaid.

Mark Anthony Fernandez elated by renewed popularity

Saksi ang PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kung paano nagkagulo at nag-ingay ang mga tao sa Araneta Coliseum nang lumabas ng stage si Mark Anthony Fernandez sa Let's Celebrate! Birthday Blowout nina Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes noong August 27. Isa si Mark sa mga nangharana kay Marian.

Nakabibinging sigawan at malakas na palakpakan ang sumalubong kay Mark Anthony, na kahit ang big bosses ng GMA Network ay nagulat sa mala-big star na reaction ng tao sa panganay na anak ng yumaong aktor na si Rudy Fernandez. Naikuwento rin sa amin ng isang source na pinagkaguluhan din si Mark sa Cagayan de Oro City nang mag-guest ito kasama ang iba pang Kapuso stars.

Ang Big Dome incident ang unang itinanong ng PEP kay Mark Anthony nang ma-interview namin siya sa last taping day ng Ako Si Kim Sam Soon sa Enchanted Kingdom sa Sta. Rose, Laguna, kahapon, September 1. Kasama rin sa inalam namin ang mala-heartthrob niyang status na dala nang muling pagsigla ng kanyang career. Hindi ba siya nagulat sa lakas ng sigawan ng mga tao sa Araneta Coliseum?

"Nagulat din, pero mas masaya ako, tuwang-tuwa sa mainit nilang pagtanggap sa akin at sobrang thankful ako," sabi ni Mark Anthony. "Alam nating ang mga taong dumating ay dahil kina Marian at Dingdong, pero na-appreciate pa rin nila ako. Mas malakas na sigawan yun kesa noong nasa Gwapings pa ako." Ang tinutukoy ni Mark ay ang dati niyang grupo kasama sina Jomari Yllana at Eric Fructuoso.

Ini-expect niya ba na magiging ganun kainit ang reception sa kanya?

"Pini-pray ko, pero hindi ko ini-expect. Alam kong mare-recognize pa rin ako, hindi ko lang ini-expect na ganun ka-warm ang acceptance nila sa akin. Malaki ang pasasalamat ko na pinapanood at gusto pa rin nila ako. Kaya naman ginagawa ko ang homework ko as an actor at nag-eensayo ako para magka-muscles ng konti. I play badminton, basketball, and I watch what I eat," saad ni Mark Anthony.

"MAGALING NA AKTOR." Kapag sinasabing magaling siyang aktor, ano ang dating kay Mark Anthony nito?

"Natutuwa ako and at the same time, may konting takot at pressure. Honored dahil sa dami ng magagaling na actors, napapansin ako. But I have to live up to that word na ‘magaling na aktor' and the fans' expectations. Mahirap, pero gagawin ko ang lahat.

"Alam ko na rin kung anong genre ang gusto ko at kung saan ako kumportable. Nakikita ko ang sarili ko at itinuturo ng puso ko na pang action-drama ako. Ang comedy, pinakamahirap gawin at nasubukan ko na yun. Na-realize kong pang action-drama ako."

Sina Robin Padilla, Richard Gomez, Richard Gutierrez, Aga Muhlach, ang amang si Rudy Fernandez, at si Fernando Poe, Jr. ang idols at gustong sundan ni Mark ang career path. Sa foreign actors, gusto niya sina Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, at Joseph Fiennes [Shakespeare In Love], lalo na ang huli at binanggit pa nito ang mga pelikulang ginawa ng Hollywood actor.

CRUSH NG BAYAN. Kilala si Mark as Cyrus, ang leading man ni Regine Velasquez sa Ako Si Kim Sam Soon. Ikinuwento ng aktor na kahit saan siya magpunta ngayon, ang pangalan niya sa Pinoy adaptation ng Korean comedy series na umeere sa GMA-7 ang tawag sa kanya.

Kuwento niya, "Misan nga, nasa SM Las Piñas ako, yun ang tawag sa akin ng mga lumapit para magpa-autograph. ‘Katuwa, yung unang limang lumapit, dumami. Hindi dati nangyayari yun, madalas ako sa mall na yun dahil malapit sa amin. Pinirmahan ko naman isa-isa ang mga papel na ibinigay sa akin at dahan-dahan akong um-exit sa tulong ng security."

Bukod sapagiging heartthrob, siya raw ang isa sa mga "crush ng bayan" ngayon. Any reaction?

"Heartthrob daw ako?" balik-tanong niya. "Ang sarap ng feeling. Thank you, thank you kung kasama ako sa crush ng bayan. Gusto kong sabihin sa may mga crush sa akin na sana, bukod sa gusto ninyo ako, panoorin n'yo ang Ako Si Kim Sam Soon."

MARK ANTHONY'S BROTHERS. Sa nababalitang pagpasok sa showbiz ng mga half-brothers niyang sina Renz (as actor) at Ralph (as director), natutuwa si Mark dahil madadagdagan ang Fernandez sa showbiz.

"Pero yung kay Renz, hindi pa sure," sabi ni Mark. "Baka next year pa dahil nag-aaral pa siya, may one year pa siya sa school. Si Ralph naman, puwede na siyang magdirek. Alam ko graduate na siya ng directing at nag-aaral pa rin. Payag ako kung magkakasama kami ni Renz sa project, kahit support niya ako."

Dagdag niya, "Gusto ko rin ng directing, pero parang ayaw ni Papa, sa acting na lang daw ako. Pagbutihin ko na lang daw ang acting ko, na ginagawa ko."

NEXT PROJECT. Wala pang bagong pelikulang ginagawa si Mark. As of now, mas focused siya sa TV. Kung bibigyan ng movie project, gusto niya kasing ganda ng Mangarap Ka, Dos Ekis, at Matimbang Pa sa Diyos—his top three favorite movies. Ang dami raw niyang nominations sa Mangarap Ka na ginawa nila ni Claudine Barretto para sa Star Cinema, pero hindi pa siya nagkaka-award.

Samantala, hindi palalampasin ng GMA-7 ang bagong lakas ni Mark sa fans. Pagkatapos ng Ako Si Kim Samsoon ay may kasunod na siyang project. Bawal pa nga lang pangalanan ang title nito. Basta fantasy-drama raw ito at kabilang sa mga makakasama niya sina Yasmien Kurdi at Keempee de Leon. Sa November daw ang airing nito.

Dennis Trillo confirms breakup with Cristine Reyes

At the presscon of his latest film with GMA Films, I.T.A.L.Y. (I Trust And Love You) held last September 1 at the 17th floor of GMA Network Center, Dennis Trillo admitted that his relationship with Cristine Reyes has finally come to an end. Although still very careful with his words, the soft-spoken matinee idol said, "I am happily single."

Both Dennis and Cristine never really admitted their relationship, but people in and out of showbiz knew for a fact that there is something going on between them. It can be recalled that when Dennis's former girlfriend Carlene Aguilar went to the United States last year to give birth to their child, Cristine's name was immediately linked to Dennis.

After giving birth, Carlene returned to the Philippines and Dennis finally admitted that he is the father of Carlene's child. During a taping of All Star K at the Broadway Centrum, Carlene confronted Cristine because of Dennis. That incident became big news and it also confirmed earlier reports that Dennis and Cristine are indeed seeing together.

Whether or not there was break in their relationship, Dennis and Cristine continued seeing each other without admitting to the public their real score. Then came the news that they have broken up.

"Siguro magtu-two weeks na," Dennis replied when asked how long they've been apart.

Without giving too much information, Dennis related his feeling about the breakup.

"Nandun yung masakit, pero kung iisipin mo yung magandang maidudulot no'n, parang secondary na lang yung sakit, e. Pero katulad ng nararamdaman ng mga ordinaryong tao na hindi siya malaya dati, masarap yung pakiramdam dahil nagagawa mo na yung mas kailangan mong gawin.

"Basta ang pinaka-ano ko lang doon," he continued, "gusto ko lang maging tahimik, gusto kong maayos yung buhay ko, yung sarili ko. Gusto ko munang mapahinga sa mga intriga.

"Siyempre, bawat pamamaalam naman, nandun talaga yung sakit, hindi talaga yun mawawala. Pero katulad ng sinabi ko, kung iisipin mo yung magandang idudulot nun, kumbaga yun na yung pinakapampalubag-loob na after nito, sigurado ako ‘eto yung mag-i-start ng change sa akin, sa trabaho, sa buong perception ko sa buhay."

What was the reason of the breakup? Is it true that Cristine made him choose between her and his career or did she make any demands?

"Wala, wala. Basta maayos yung pag-uusap namin sa lahat ng bagay. Ayoko na sanang idetalye," Dennis said.

But who initiated the breakup?

"Kumbaga, nag-meet yung minds namin na i-settle yung mga bagay dahil yun talaga ang importante ngayon, e. Masuwerte kami meron kaming mga trabaho. Pero siyempre, yung long term yung iniisip namin... Sacrifice siyempre, malaking sacrifice," said Dennis calculatedly to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

DIFFICULT DECISION. But Dennis admitted that it was a difficult decision to make.

"Mahirap, siyempre. Mahirap talaga. Sarili ko yung desisyon dahil naisip ko na kailangan talaga ng pagbabago, e. Nagdesisyon ako ng ganun para sa akin, para maging focused ako sa lahat ng bagay, lalung-lalo na sa trabaho. Lalo na ngayon na maraming padating na projects. Inaalagaan ko rin yung mga blessings."

Is this a career move on his part?

"Slightly, oo, dahil ginawa ko rin talaga yun para maging tahimik," Dennis admitted. "Tingin ko hangga't wala kang peace of mind, hindi ka makakapag-concentrate sa mga bagay na kailangan mong gawin."

Was his relationship with Cristine complicated?

"Magulo siya siguro dahil hindi kaming dalawa yung nagkakagulo kundi maraming hindi sang-ayon, maraming hindi nakakatanggap. Yung factors na yun alone, medyo nakaka-stress talaga ‘yon sa isang relation," he explained.

But Dennis insists both of them fought for their feelings with each other.

"Oo, kasi matagal din naman yung span ng relationship. Masasabi ko na naipagtanggol ko rin dahil kahit hindi ko man aminin, kumbaga, alam naman ng lahat ng tao. Kulang lang talaga yung pag-amin."

Do they still have communication?

"Hindi na kami talaga nagkikita at wala na ring communication," said Dennis. "Nag-usap po kami nang masinsinan dahil kailangan ding walang communication para umubra din yung gusto naming mangyari para sa aming dalawa. Para talagang mas maging effective, talagang dapat wala. Kailangan talagang panindigan dahil kung meron pa rin, parang wala ring nangyari."

Although Dennis continues to be linked with several actresses—like his leading lady in Magdusa Ka and the upcoming Gagambino and his co-stars in I.T.A.L.Y. Rufa Mae Quinto and Italian singer-actress Andrea de Lugo—Dennis says he has no immediate plans of entering into another relationship or even reuniting with Carlene.

"Hindi ako nakipag-break para maghanap ng iba. Ginawa ko ‘yon para magkaroon ng focus yung pag-iisip ko sa mga dapat kong pahalagahan," Dennis explained.
