Survivor Philippines Winner Revealed: JC is the Pinoy Sole Survivor

Nabuking ng showbizjuice.com sa usapan ng staff ng show. It seems kulang sa confidentiality clause between GMA 7 management and its production staff. Sa usapan ng ilang staff ng programa sa isang coffee shop, walang pakialam na ikinuwento ng isang taklesang staff ang nangyayari sa Survivor.

Ang pinaka-shocking revelation ng tsikahan ng staff na hindi napalampas ng source ng showbizjuice.com ay ang pangalan ng winner ng reality show.
Si JC! Siya ang Pinoy Sole Survivor.

Here’s the profile of JC that we got from a website:

John Carlo “JC” Tiuseco (Hardcourt Heartthrob)JC, 23, is a hunky basketball heartthrob of San Sebastian University. When he was younger, he was very passionate about basketball and dreamed of becoming a professional player. But as he grew older, JC discovered that he has a lot more potential to make it beyond the hardcourt.

Banking on his athleticism and good looks, JC is sure that he has a good chance to capture the ladies’ hearts and to bag the coveted title of Sole Survivor.
Survivor Philippines is airing barely 2 weeks. We hate to spoil the excitement by revealing the big winner.

Again, this is news.

Alfie Lorenzo to Judy Ann Santos: 'Huwag mo na akong gagalitin!'

Alfie Lorenzo to Judy Ann Santos: 'Huwag mo na akong gagalitin!'

Sinabi ng talent manager na si Alfie Lorenzo kahapon sa kanyang interview sa The Buzz na nag-sorry na sa kanya ang kanyang alaga na si Judy Ann Santos. Napabalitang nagkaroon ng away ang dalawa tungkol sa mga kontrata ni Judai. Kumunsulta raw muna ang aktres sa isang lawyer bago pa man ito nakipagdeal kay Alfie na siyang ikinasama ng loob nito.
Alfie commented na nakiusap pa si Judy Ann sa kanya na huwag sumulat ng negative publicity about her. "Hindi ko inisip si Judai one day ay magiging milyonarya, kaya sabi ko, 'Huwag mo na akong gagalitin para hindi na makalkal 'yung iba pa kasi 'yung iba pa nakatago pa sa baul, eh papagpagin ko pa."

Ikinwento rin ni Alfie ang naging usapan nila ng kanyang alaga tungkol sa pagkuha nito ng lawyer. "Ano pa 'yung ikukunsulta mo sa attorney? Bakit all of a sudden nakikialam na 'yung attorney mo sa kontrata? Ilang years na tayong pumipirma sa ABS-CBN walang attorney. Hindi ka naman nakulong sa kakapirma natin at nakarating ka sa kinaroroonan mo ngayon!"

Sabi ng talent manager, he was just looking out for Judy Ann’s welfare at nainsulto siya nang i-by pass siya nito. "Sabi ko, 'Biro mo nagmamalasakit na lang ako sa iyo tapos ako pa ang lalabas na masama, ako pa ang pagdududahan, magkukunsulta ka sa abogado. However, bumawi naman daw si Judai sa kanya at personal pa siya itong inapproach para mag-apologize. Pinoint out ni Alfie na it’s not all about money kundi ang pag-secure ng good future para kay Judai. Dagdag pa niya na siya pa nga ang nagsuggest na i-extend ang contract to 2011, as a fallback in case she decides to settle down anytime soon.

On the other hand, nagpaliwanag din si Judai tungkol sa move na kanyang ginawa. Gusto lang daw niyang maintindihan ang legal concepts sa kanyang pipirmahan. "Siyempre karapatan ko lang din malaman kung ano ang magiging scope of work ko in the next two years. Kasi hindi ko naman maintindihan 'yung legal terms eh, hindi naman ako abogado. It doesn't mean na binabale wala ko si Tito Alfie. Napakalaki ng utang na loob ko kay Tito Alfie.”

Judai also said na ang pagkuha niya ng lawyer ay dahil na rin sa mga kasong isinampa sa kanya ng Bureau of Internal Revenue o BIR. Ayaw niya na itong maulit muli. "May sarili po akong utak para po ipaalala ko sa inyo 30 years old na po ako. Puwede na po akong magdesisyon para sa sarili ko."

The Buzz reacts to Cristy Fermin’s accusations of disrespect

The management of the showbiz-oriented show The Buzz said that they have properly informed controversial host-columnist Cristy Fermin about the appearance of Annabelle Rama and Nadia Montenegro in the show on two separate occasions. This is in response to Cristy's claim that the show was disrespectful of her twice, when Annabelle and Nadia appeared on The Buzz and commented against the controversial host. The Buzz management said that they make it a point to inform all the hosts (Boy Abunda, Ruffa Gutierrez and Cristy) about everything that will take place on the show prior to it’s live airing.

Two days after her suspension on ABS-CBN last October 15 as host for The Buzz and radio program Showbiz Mismo on DZMM, Cristy came out with her column in a tabloid, expressing her disappointment in The Buzz when Annabelle and Nadia appeared on the show (April 6 and September 28 respectively). The two gave no-holds barred interviews against the controversial TV host, who allegedly ruined their respective family's reputations.

Cristy's suspension was the result of her controversial statements on The Buzz last October 5, where she revealed that one of Nadia’s children is allegedly not fathered by her husband, former Caloocan Mayor Boy Asistio. Three days after her revelation, the management of ABS-CBN sent a memo to her and asked her to respond within 24 hours on why she should not be suspended. But after an intensive investigation, the management had hard evidence to carry out the suspension on Cristy.

Managing Director for TV production Cory Vidanes and business unit head Louie Andrada met with the host-columnist last October 15 to inform her about the management's decision to suspend her until the end of the year on grounds of violating some conditions in her contract.
