“IMPOSIBLE po talaga, maniwala kayo.” exclaims Jennylyn Mercado.
“Pang-ilang tsika na ba yan?” Very recently, Jennylen was rumored to be pregnant courtesy of her boyfriend Dennis Trillo.
“Kasi parang sampung beses na akong nabuntis pero isa pa lang yung anak ko,” natatawang reaksyon ni Jennylyn sa tsismis.
It’s not true that she’s pregnant!
Jen is so slim, how can she hide her pregnancy?
“Iyon nga. Imposible nga, e. Iyon nga yung… tsaka… imposible po, e. Wala, hindi po.”
However, getting pregnant is not far from reality.
She’s been with Dennis for quite sometime.
“Ate, pakilabas yung kakatanggal ko lang sa basurahan!” showing proof that she had her monthly preiod.
“Kaya hindi talaga! Sabi ko nga, ‘Paano nangyari yun [na buntis siya]?’ Sabi ko, ‘Ano ang nangyayari, bakit may ganun? Saan nanggaling?’ Hindi ko din talaga alam. Ganun ba yun, buntis agad?”
“SA TAMANG PANAHON.” Hindi naman “agad” “Hindi, pero siyempre uulitin ko ba yung… di ba? Hindi na.”
So, she would rather marry first than get impregnated?
“Dapat sa tamang paraan na, di ba? Tsaka mukha ba akong buntis? Mukha ba akong buntis? Sayang nga, e.”
Had Jen been pregnant, people close to her would love if the rumors were true.
They love Dennis for Jen.
“Di bale, darating yun. Darating din yung tamang panahon.”
When Jen gave birth to Alex Jazz she wasn’t married to exboyfriend Patrick Garcia.
“Kasi di ba, uulitin ko ba yung pagkakamali ko noon? Hindi naman pagkakamali, hindi naman siya pagkakamali,” mabilis na bawi ni Jenn.
“Kumbaga, ayoko lang nung ganung paraaan kasi si Jazz blessing naman kaya happy ako na dumating siya sa buhay ko.”
Alex Jazz will turn 10 this coming August.

PBA player Arnold Van Opstal on homophobia in sports: “I feel like athletes are not doing enough to address homophobia that is very apparent in sports due to fear of judgement set by their peers and coaches. Equality comes from all aspects not just race and I’m happy to stand up for equality.”
Vice Ganda saluted to Arnold’s stand. Arnold was asked if he is part of the LGBT?
“My brother is ‘gay,’ a lot of my good friends are ‘gay.’ However, I am ‘straight. “The whole game of labeling sexuality is a joke. Preferences are preferences, love is love, and everyone deserves to be their own authentic selves without having to fear the judgment of others.”
Arnold also stated his opinion on homophobia in sports.
“It’s 2018 there’s no space for ignorant assholes. Judging someone by their sexuality is as ignorant as judging people by their skin colour or religion. All homophobes and racists can go fuck themselves.”
On the other hand, in his social media account, Vice thanked Arnold for his opinion on homophobia.
“Thanks Arnold Van Opstal (@arnoldvanopstal)!!! I hope everyone including your fellows in your sport see this post.”“#StopJudgment #StopHyprocricy.”

BING LOYZAGA points out the difference of working with ABS-CBN and GMA-7
“The difference siguro is me in the sense wherein here, my roles are kontrabida. Sa kabila, medyo mabait ako.”
After nine years, Bing Loyzaga returns to GMA-7 via the teleserye Kapag Nahati Ang Puso.
Her return to the Kapuso network comes after doing several teleseryes with ABS-CBN and TV5.
According to Bing, she did not feel any different even though she has not worked with the Kapuso network for a long time.
She said, “This is not my first time with GMA, I was with GMA for a long time and I was with ABS for a long time also.”
“What’s the difference? Siguro the difference is me. Hahaha! Kasi the people I’ve worked with before are still here, are still here and very much welcoming. The people I’ve worked with on the other side, same din.”
However, she can remember only one difference in terms of the shows she did in the two networks.
She continued, “The difference siguro is me in the sense wherein here, my roles are kontrabida.
“Sa kabila, medyo mabait ako, medyo lang, konti lang. Pero dito, full-blown. Yun lang siguro.
“Pero the people that are working, you see the passion in anyone so I will not say ‘This is better.’ The passion is there, and when you have the passion you know you’re working with the right people.”
Among the shows Bing did in GMA-7 where she played the villain were: Saang Sulok ng Langit (2005), Kung Mamahalin Mo Lang Ako (2005) Sine Novela: Sinasamba Kita (2007), MariMar (2007), and Sine Novela: Paano Ba Ang Mangarap (2009).
In ABS-CBN, she also did a kontrabida role in Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay (2002).
However, her more recent roles with ABS-CBN were all kind-hearted characters like in My Girl (2008), Agua Bendita (2010), Rubi (2010), and Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin (2017).
Bing doesn’t seem to be affected by network wars and rivalries.
She said about this, “Nasa sa kanila yun if they want to have rivalries or what.
“Pero with me, hey, this is just me so I’ll just be me and whether there’s rivalry or not, that’s your problem, not mine. Hahaha!”
She also doesn’t make a big deal of the talent fee she receives with her projects from both networks.
“I wouldn’t be wherever if I’m not happy, and it’s not really yung TF, e, it’s really about the projects. If you know that you will improve yourself with the projects, you can give something to the project, the role is challenging, you’ll be working with other people, why not, di ba? I think it’s more of the whole package.”
In Kapag Nahati Ang Puso, formerly titled Karibal Ko Ang Aking Ina, Bing’s character Miranda will make life miserable for Bea Binene’s character, Claire. As seen in the trailer, Miranda gives Claire the cold treatment and hurts her physically sometimes.
Bing said about the meanness of her character, “Kailangan, e. Marami kasing pinagdaanan yung character ko kaya paggising niya sa umaga, galit na siya kaagad.”
The 48-year-old actress then described her working relationship with Bea on the set.
She recalled, “The funny thing, I was explaining earlier doon sa ibang scenes namin where she needs to cry, we’d embrace.
“I’ll help her get to that emotion na she needs to cry. Pero pag ready na siya at magte-take na kami, bruha na ako sa kanya. Hindi yun siyempre nakikita sa camera.”
Bing praised Bea by saying, “She’s such a sport, she’s somebody who’s open to anything and learning so I enjoy working with her.
“So sorry na lang, alam ko maraming magagalit sa akin with this character pero it comes with the job, di ba?”
