Karylle (MNS photo) Singer-TV host Karylle chose not to comment when asked about the upcoming wedding of her ex-boyfriend, actor Dingdong Dantes, and fiancé Marian Rivera. “Ako kasi, wala na ako sa eksenang ‘yon, so ayoko naman ding sumingit. I think iyon nalang siguro for now ang sasabihin ko,” Karylle said. She added, “Everyone deserves to have a wonderful wedding, and that’s what I’ve experienced. So huwag natin sirain ’yung maganda.” Dingdong and Karylle broke up in 2008 amid talks that the former was making sweet music with Marian, his co-star on the how-defunct series “MariMar.” Karylle married Spongecola frontman Yael Yuzon early this year. She’s also made it clear that all is well between her and Marian. (MNS)

Bangsamoro (MNS Photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) – The House of Representatives on Wednesday conducted its first committee hearing on the proposed Bangsamoro basic law, which seeks to implement the signed peace deal between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Present for the ad hoc committee hearing are Presidential Adviser for Peace Process Secretary Teresita “Ging” Deles, government peace panel chief negotiator Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, and MILF chief negotiator Mohagher Iqbal. In his speech before the committee, Iqbal said Congress should not be afraid and instead be hopeful about the proposed law that seeks to create a Bangsamoro political entity replacing the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). “Let us warn you of people who would want to sow fear instead of hope in your hearts and in the hearts of the Filipino people. Their aim is to stop the establishment of the Bangsamoro and for this, they will take advantage of the deeply held biases and prejudices of the people,” Iqbal said. “They will use words like ‘dismemberment of the Republic,’ ‘sell-out,’ ‘violation of the Constitution,’ ‘surrender,’ ‘state within the state,’ and even a ‘ploy for eventual independence,’” he added. “To all of these, we say: Be not afraid. To the Filipino people: Be not afraid,” Iqbal said. He clarified that the Bansamoro state is not a state within a state. “Instead of dismemberment of the Republic, the Bangsamoro will further unite our peoples. There shall be no state within a state. The Philippine state shall remain sovereign. We Read More …

Andi Eigenmann (MNS Photo) Actress Andi Eigenmann has opened up about the controversial photo of her rumored boyfriend Jake Ejercito supposedly kissing another girl. Although she had already seemingly called out Jake on Facebook by posting a link to the item and photo that appeared on an entertainment blog site, she said, “Siyempre masakit pero wala tayong magagawa, it happened already.” She shared that she had already spoken with Jake about the story behind the viral picture. Noting that while she “would really love to forgive” him, Andi, who is still mourning on the death of her father Mark Gil, said she needs space for now. The 24-year-old single mom is moving on and focusing on things that are “more important to me and deserve my attention and my love.” She added, “I’m not going to dwell on something that shouldn’t be important… not waste my time on something that doesn’t treat me of any importance.” Although she keeps her “never say never” attitude because “it’s always a matter of choice,” the actress pointed out, “If we want to fix things, we can. Pero I guess everything happens in its own time. Right now is not the right time.” Following the issue, Jake once again stirred intrigue on social media after supposedly deleting tweets about not giving up on love. Fashion Pulis posted a screengrab of one of the purported missing tweet that read: “Bury the past, build a castle where they lay. Be my princess again @andieigengirl.” This was Read More …
