Annabelle Rama-Nadia Montenegro telenovela

Annabelle Rama is well-known for being the matriarch of the Gutierrez clan. Wife to Eddie and mother to Ruffa, twins Richard and Raymond, Rocky, Elvis and Richie Paul. She is also known as a talent manager not only to her husband and kids but also to Miriam Quiambao among others. She is fondly called Bisaya in local showbiz as she is a Cebuana with a prominent Visayan accent when she speaks.

Nadia Montenegro, on the other hand, is well-known in local showbiz as the best friend ng bayan. Best friend of this and that celebrity, and formerly of Gretchen Barretto whom she betrayed by exposing to the public her alleged love affair with Dodie Puno while still with Tonyboy Cojuangco.

So they are now feuding, Annabelle and Nadia. Each of them are filing lawsuit after lawsuit against each other. I am telling you it has become a saga that everyone is awaiting the ending of. Nadia accused Anabelle of pimping her two minor daughters, making them wear inappropriate clothes when attending parties with influential men in attendance. She filed a child abuse case against Anabelle who is the manager of her kids. Anabelle, of course, cried foul! She said that Nadia insisted on her managing the latter’s kids and now after helping her kids she will accuse her of being a pimp just so she can nullify the manager-talent contract between Anabelle and her kids. That accusation has branched out into robbery, attempted kidnapping, unjust vexation and a lot more.

So who’s telling the truth between the two?

My bet is that Anabelle is telling the truth! I believe Nadia’s history of betraying even the hands that fed her can stand as an evidence against her. Gretchen fed her and was there for her and her family all those years and look what she did to her? The same can be said of Pops Fernandez whom Nadia also betrayed. Plus, can you really believe someone who married that former mayor Asistio?!?

Local networks’ leading men

Truth be told, our family watches mostly ABS-CBN shows. For one, the network has a clearer signal in our area. GMA-7‘s signal has always been looking like that of the ’80s. Also, ABS-CBN shows are far more interesting than that of the competition. The network has more stars than any other local network combined.

Let’s take a closer look at the leading men for both networks…

GMA-7 has Dingdong Dantes, Dennis Trillo, Aljur Abrenica, Richard Gutierrez, TJ Trinidad, Mark Herras, Marvin Agustin and Mark Anthony Fernandez. Remind me if I missed out someone else. Dingdong, TJ, Marvin and Mark Anthony are all good actors. Good in what they do. They can legitimately act. On the other hand, Dennis, Aljur, Mark and Richard are better off in acting workshops. They need to learn to add more depth in their acting. Come on, I saw Dennis in a scene with Dingdong and my goodness! Dennis ate dust! And to think he’s one of the premier leading men of the network! Richard is, of course, without a doubt a really good-looking man. But let’s be honest here. He is lame in acting! Voice projection alone is terrible! He can act, yes, but not what we really expect from a network prince. And that Aljur guy! He acts like he’s only in a school play! Mark can act but please someone should tell him to let go of the addicted look and get some help with his speech! Let me just point out, by the way, that TJ, Marvin and Mark Anthony are from ABS-CBN who just went over the bakod for greener pasture.

I will continue with ABS-CBN’s leading men in my next post…

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown Edition

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Edition

Survivor has always been an interesting reality show for me. So when it was announced two years ago, if I am not mistaken, that Philippines would have its own Survivor edition, of course, I was one of those who were excited about it. The first edition of Survivor Philippines was good. I watched it from start to finish. I was in agreement with the winner. And Paolo Bediones was a good host, not of the calibre of Jeff Probst but still a good one all things considered.

I didn’t get to watch the second edition because I felt it was too corny. Everything seemed to be scripted already. And then they announced the change of hosts from Paolo to Richard Gutierrez and GMA7′s decision to host a celebrity showdown instead of the unknown castaways.

That’s when I decided to watch again. I will watch the celebrity showdown and will try to summarize here what happened on each episode.

Stay tuned.

New host for Survivor Philippines

Richard Gutierrez

So Richard Gutierrez will be the new host of Survivor Philippines being aired at GMA7. I guess he is the logical choice considering there’s a big hole left behind by Paolo Bediones in terms of hosting. And since it will be a celebrity showdown, might as well get a celebrity from their roster.

Let’s see how he will fare. I know he is an outdoors type of guy. I just don’t know if he will be a good host, probing the contestants to get some juicy tidbits for the viewers to enjoy.

Hunk and two ladies

I saw this from a tweet of Georgina herself. The two ladies are the exes of Richard. I am sure most guys out there are so envious of the lucky man. And a girl is gnashing her teeth somewhere from sheer jealousy! They just keep on denying it but entertainment reports said that Richard’s current girlfriend is GMA-7 artist Jewel Mische.

Why deny it? Probably to protect the public’s perception of Richard as a single man falling for whoever is his current love interest.

Sucks to be Jewel!
