Martin on Pops: ‘No silent courtship’... yet? - FUNFARE by Ricardo F. Lo

Curtain-raisers:

• Could it be true that bold stars Rodel Velayo and Daniella are at present living together? Take they gotten married or are they just living-in (with Rodel’s folks)?

• Funfare—friendly Tita Felicing (of San Jose, Northern Samar) is calling the attention of the people backside the new Nizoral TV commercial showing a man and a woman doing nada only cervix and kiss. "It’s not healthy for kiddie viewers," said Tita Felicing.

• Stars who wish to bring together a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (the aforementioned one with which Tintin Bersola and Julius Babao joined last yr) may get in touch with organizer Arlina at telephones 929-01-44 or 805-47-32. Arlina is also organizing a v-day-4-night group tour to Macau, consummate with cultural activities and a Peking duck dinner, for only $350.

Here I am once more, caught in a brewing Pops-Martin "outcome."

A few issues agone, Funfare put out an interesting item, gathered during my five-day holiday in New York where Pops Fernandez did a hit concert with Troy Montero and Franco Laurel last May five, virtually the ex-partners becoming friendlier and closer to each other later on the court annulled their fourteen-year matrimony tardily last twelvemonth.

Funfare

mentioned with corking expectations that, according to my unimpeachable source (who’s as shut to Martin Nievera equally his skin is to his body), there seems to exist a "silent courting" going on between Pops and Martin and, like millions of their fans, my unimpeachable source – and I – were as excited most the big possibility of Pops and Martin getting dorsum together again – you know, honey is lovelier the 2nd time around. Who knows?

On the morning that detail came out, I got 3 text letters from Martin, straight from Los Angeles, request me for a line he could call considering he wanted to talk to me urgently. When he finally got concur of me, Martin said the Funfare story created quite "a mess" and, sob, "reopened onetime wounds."

I told Martin I was sorry for, sob, "reopening old wounds" but I assured him that, having gotten the story from unimpeachable sources, I wasn’t distressing for writing about information technology and, in fact, I sincerely wish he and Pops would "rediscover" each other. But then, some people could get hurt in the process. You lot know, win some, lose some.

Anyway, Martin wanted to make three clarifications, to wit:

ane.

His mom, Conchita Razon, wasn’t in New York (she was in L.A.) to lookout man Pops’ concert but did inquire for some tickets for her friends who were in New York. "Had Mom been at that place," said Martin, "I’m sure she would accept loved to watch Pops’ show."

ii.

Pops didn’t go to Las Vegas to fetch their kids, Ram and Robin, who have been spending a well-deserved vacation with Martin (in Las Vegas for an R&R later on doing an Easter Sunday concert at Aladdin Hotel). Instead, said Martin, "I brought Ram and Robin to 50.A. to join their mom who was staying with Joy Ortega." Martin added that he was staying in a cabin and that he and Pops and the kids were having a great time together.

3.

Martin insisted that there’southward no "silent courtship" going on… still? Besides, that he wasn’t "guarded" (presumably by girlfriend Katrina Ojeda) in Las Vegas to forestall Pops from, well, getting nearly him. Martin said he was slighted by Funfare’s insinuation that Pops is now "the other woman" only he was properly pacified when assured that it was only a figure of speech. At the same time, he acknowledged that, yes, Pops did sally sexier and more seductive after their separation.

And then there. Still, Funfare hopes that Pops and Martin will... anyhow. Four years ago, Funfare broke the story that the Pops-Martin wedlock was suffering from seemingly irreparable cracks and Pops and Martin denied the story to death, merely to admit (also through The STAR) four years later that that story was true after all.

Okay, okay. Should nosotros stand by and expect for another iv years to know the real score on this new episode in the standing Pops-Martin existent-life soap? By then, who knows, perhaps the un-couple could be a happy couple once more. You bet?

Meanwhile, somebody close to Pops said that the habit of Pops and Troy holding hands under the tabular array has no romantic meaning at all. "It’s only a friendly gesture," Pops’ defender said. Okay, friendly na kung friendly. Added Pops’ defender, "‘Yang holding hands na ’yan is as harmless equally the habit of Roderick Paulate and Amy Perez calling each other ‘Honey’ on the air."

Pregnant, Nikki Valdez, Troy’southward girlfriend, has naught to worry near.

In that location. Loud and clear?

(Incidentally, Pops will have more of her Shindig USA Tour in Las Vegas on May nineteen and in Reno, Nevada, on May 26. Martin will soon exist home and have his own concert on June 8 at Onstage Greenbelt, produced by Big Mouth International, Inc. for Maxi-Media International, with Louie Ocampo as musical director.)

• Pat-P Daza-Planas, married woman of Mike Planas who’due south running as congressman in the third commune of Quezon City, is giving birth anytime now to their first child (said to be "made in USA," specifically in California where Pat-P and Mike got married final yr).

On the campaign trail, Mike looked more like a matinee idol shaking easily with fans rather than a young political leader wooing for votes. He ever looked bathroom-fresh, in optimistically brilliant shirts, and forever smiling like the Imperial Baby that he would have been had he said yes to direk Joey Gosiengfiao who wanted to launch Mike with the likes of Gabby Concepcion and Albert Martinez in the early ’80s.

Pat-P is on motherhood get out from her work at ABS-CBN as Director for Public Relations and Corporate Communications.

• Senatoriable Ed Angara’s legislative plan (at present drafted) to vest the land with the full powers to check the scourge of pic piracy should make entertainment industry people heave a sigh of relief.

In the Philippines as in other parts of the world, Red china included, piracy is dealing a fatal accident to the picture and recording industries.

"We should deal with the monster problem of motion picture piracy to help the movie (and recording) industry," Angara told movie writers during a presscon organized past Regal Matriarch Mother Lily. "And we should join hands in acting with urgency."

Angara is besides determined to push the Music Manufacture Development Deed which would boost and aid develop the local music industry.

Could Ed Angara be the savior of the amusement manufacture, dissimilar actor-politicians who have proven inutile even now that they are in power? Let’south hope.

• Instead of following in her father’southward (Sen. Tito Sotto) footsteps to showbiz, Lala Sotto dreams of becoming a senator someday. For a starter, Lala is running for councilor in the third district of Quezon City.

Lala, 23, has been agile in her female parent Helen Gamboa’due south NGO, the Kababaihang Karamay ng Mamamayan (KAMAY) Foundation, which helps Quezon City’southward urban poor. She has also approached one of her professors at La Salle University Higher of St. Benilde and asked for his help in putting up an arrangement to benefit underprivileged youth. Together, they went to the chairman of local Sangguniang Kabataan and learned of the bug confronting the youth in the area. Lala and then set up Samahang Katulong ng Kabataan Foundation, or KASAMA, which undertakes projects in depressed areas, such as medical missions and gift-giving.
