Where is Marlon Stockinger, the race car driver linked to Pia.
“I always go solo every time I attend a Star Magic Ball…
And there’s a reason why they call a ‘Miss’ Universe and it’s because it [means] a woman who can stand on her own.”
However, the beauty queen stressed that everything is gooing smooth between her and marlon.
To recall, the couple parted ways twice.
First was in July, when they both unfollowed each others Instagram account.
Second was in August when both deleted their photos together.
“Marlon and I are fine, don’t get me wrong. We’re okay. He’s also busy right now, and he’s busy with his racing thing right now.
He has his own thing to do, and I have my own thing to do. He’s here, but he’s travelling soon.”
Marlon was one of the judges in the recent Ms. Millennial 2017 of Eat Bulaga held at the MOA Arena.
Observers also noticed Pia, was sporting a short hairstyle.
“I just wanted to do a different look for the ball.
I was thinking, I’m trying to veer away from the typical pageant look, so I wanted something a little bit sexier and edgier.
“And my stylist, styLIZed by Liz Uy, and my designer, Ezra [Santos], they liked my idea, so we combined the ideas, and we came up with this.”
In the meantime, Pia is excited for the forthcoming Miss Universe 2017 which will be held in November 26 in Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada. Pia was crowned Miss Universe in las Vegas in 2015.
“It’s gonna be in Vegas, the same place where I was actually crowned, in Planet Hollywood.
They’re inviting me to attend the next Miss Universe competition, and I’m crossing my fingers that I can really make it.”
Pia also mentioned that she was able to talk to Rachel Peters our representative in the coming Miss universe pageant.
“Yeah, she asked me, she messaged me and, you know, I shared some tips with her.
I just told her, ‘Have fun, stay focused, don’t get distracted…have fun, most importantly.’”
Right now, Pia is busy doing a film with Vice Ganda and Daniel Padilla titled “Gandarah N’ Gwapito: The Revengers”
“My priority is actually finishing the movie. If it’s finished by then, I’m definitely gonna go to Miss Universe.”

LOTLOT DE LEON discloses that her daughter Janine Gutierrez is now under the tutelage of Leo Dominguez.
“It’s just that I decided because I’m also very busy with the restaurant, The South Grill.”
Ang huli ay restawran ni Lotlot sa Aguirre Avenue sa Parañaque City.
“And then, my own career as an actor as well, so mas gusto ko talagang merong tumutok sa kanya and help her out with new possibilities for her, for her career. Iyon.”
Why under Leo?
“Because Janine idolizes Solenn and Lovi.”
Solenn Heussaff and Lovi Poe are under the management of Leo.
“And when I found out that Leo is the one who is taking care of both of them, Janine was also very interested, because the footsteps that I think she would really like to follow are Lovi and Solenn.
“And proven naman na, alam ko naman na kahit papaano, hindi naman siya pababayaan ni Leo.
So when I called Leo and asked if he’s interested to manage Janine, he was very welcoming.
“He said, ‘Of course!’ Sabi niya, ‘I follow the career of Janine.’ Napapanood din niya yung mga serye na nagagawa ni Janine.
“And Leo and I also have the same vision and intentions for Janine, so I really felt that Leo would really be the best choice.”
Before, Janine was under Lotlot and GMA’s management. How come she entrusted her daughter to Leo?
“Actually, ang tagal na rin naming napaguusapan. Kaya lang, hindi talaga nagkaroon ng chance at that time na I would transfer my responsibilities as a talent manager to someone else.
Because we had so many contracts already with endorsements, so we just opted to, you know, take it as it is.
“And then we’ll see where it will lead. So hanggang sa, yun na nga, I asked her again. Sabi ko, ‘Would you be interested in getting…’ Actually, ako ang nagsabi kay Janine, ‘Would you be interested in getting another manager who will handle you?’
“Sabi niya, ‘Mom, if you think it’s the best for me, sabi niya, ‘It’s okay.’ So doon po nagsimula yun.”
Now that Lotlot moved to ABS, would Janine remain a kapuso actress?
“For now her contract is under negotiations with GMA.
And of course, we’re very thankful to GMA for being so influential with Janine’s career, and very instrumental sila sa pagsisimula ni Janine because that’s where she started.
“So kumbaga nasa pag-uusap na rin iyon nila Leo and ng GMA, on what their plans are for Janine in the coming months and years.”
Speaking of Janine’s lovelife, is she officially the girlfrined of Rayver Cruz?
“Ewan ko, sila na lang ang tanungin ninyo. Ang alam ko, hindi pa. Dating pa lang din sila ngayon.”
What if the two would admit of their relationship, how would she handle it?
“Kung saan masaya si Janine, I’ll be happy for her. She has a good head on her shoulders, I know she’ll make the right decisions. I have faith in her so let’s allow her to make her own decisions already. She’s already also of age.”
