NAALARMA kamakailan si Derek Ramsay dahil sa naaksidente ng kanyang inang si Remedios “Medy” Paggao.

Masama ang pagbagsak daw ng kanyang ina at nagka-fracture sa kanyang forearm. Agad nga raw inoperahan ang ina ng aktor.

“My mom took a bad fall and broke her forearm. Seeing her fall and seeing her in so much pain was the scariest moment of my life. My mom is a strong woman, so it was difficult to see her screaming and crying due to the pain,” post ni Derek sa social media.

Thankful si Derek na mabilis na naka-recover ang kanyang ina sa pinagdaanan nitong surgery. Kaya ngayon ay todo ang pag-alaga nito sa ina.

“The day after, my mom had her surgery, and it was a successful one. Thank you to all the doctors and nurses who took care of her. Thank you, guys, for all your prayers and well wishes. Thank you, Lord, for answering all our prayers! Mom is back to putting on her own makeup, which is definitely a good sign!!” post pa niya.

Noong 2011 ay sumailalim sa surgery si Derek dahil nabalian din siya ng braso dahil sa sinalihan na frisbee tournament.

IKATUTUWA mo, my dear entertainment editor Rohn Romulo ang mga papuri ni Jennica Garcia sa mahal mong Megastar na si Sharon Cuneta.

Nabanggit kasi ni Jennica na kasali siya sa teleseryeng ‘Saving Grace’ na pinagbibidahan nina Sharon.

Lahad ni Jennica, “So ang susunod po natin, Saving Grace, Ms. Sharon Cuneta po ito.“Kung minahal tayo ng mga tao sa Dirty Linen bilang Lala, siguro po ngayon isusumpa na nila ako.

“Buti na lang nakapirma na ako sa Bioessence, “ at muling natawa si Jennica na ang tinutukoy ay ang pagiging bago niyang celebrity endorser ng Bioessence na isang beauty and wellness clinic.

Tinanong namin si Jennica kung kamusta ka-eksena si Sharon.

“Naku, sobrang saya,” ang masayang bulalas ng anak ni Jean Garcia.

“Naiintindihan ko na ngayon kung bakit nauso yung mga Megastar, Diamond Star, iba pala talaga.

“Meron silang… parang si Megastar parang meron siyang kasamang ring light, alam mo yun?

“Parang sa Pinoy Henyo ang word na pinapahula sa kanya ‘respeto’, yung parang pag naglakad ka talagang mapapa-bow ka kasi iba, iba yung elegance and makikita mo rin na she is the Megastar, because despite it all she continues to be humble talaga, grabe,” pakli pa ni Jennica.

AT bilang mas ma-wine ka kaysa beer, my dear editor, ikatutuwa mo rin marahil kung ang makakainuman mo ay ang hunk actor na si Tony Labrusca!

Nakatsikahan namin si Tony sa Wine & Liquor Expo media launch sa Landers Alabang West sa Daang Hari Road, Almanza Dos, Las Piñas City kamakailan.

“I feel like you learn to appreciate wine with age, not everybody appreciates it right off the bat.

“Like personally me speaking, my entry into wine was that my mom like always drank Moscato while I was growing up, and so like I first started drinking just like all the sweet wines.

“I like sweet-tasting things, that’s the thing, and now, I don’t know if it’s my age, but I’m starting to really appreciate more of a like full-bodied red wine.

“So, I don’t know, like me on my downtime, I personally like dining alone and I don’t mind drinking alone.

“So yeah, I feel like a nice glass of wine with like a good steak is always like… it’s always like steak and wine, eating that on my own on like my day off is always like a nice treat for myself, that I give myself sometimes after like a hard week of work.”

Isa sa tinanong namin kay Tony ay kung mas gusto ba niyang uminom kapag may mga kasamang kaibigan o mas bet niyang uminom mag-isa?

“I… well it’s more fun if I drink with friends, but sometimes I’ll just have like a beer or a glass of wine alone, like I don’t have a problem doing that.”

Nasa event rin sina Rhian Ramos, Nicole Hernandez, Kelly Misa at ang Chief Transformation Officer ng Landers na si Bill Cummings.

SA latest Instagram post ni Queen of All Media Kris Aquino ay mukhang may katotohanan ang lumabas na balita na muli siyang magpapakasal.

May caption ito ng… My story. My life. My new reality…

#bawalsumuko #tuloyanglaban #lovelovelove

Sa last part kasi ng mahabang post ng TV host-actress ay nagbigay siya ng pahiwatig sa pagpapakasal niya sa karelasyon niya ngayon na si Dr. Michael Padlan.

“Apologies, but until my groom and I exchange vows, in that very small wedding (but surely not held outdoors) I’m choosing to keep my relationship private.

“Ibalato n’yo na sa kin yun. Invited naman kayong lahat if and when sa kasal,” pakiusap ni Kris sa kanyang social media followers.

Isiniwalat din ni Kris ang napipinto niyang pagbabalik sa ABS-CBN bago matapos ang 2024.

“Para hindi kayo magsawang magdasal Sabi nyo, you miss watching me. I want to thank my former ABS-CBN bosses for allowing Jasmin and Darla to work with me on a show which will launch before 2024 ends,” pahayag niya.

“Secret muna ‘yung concept, but you will get to see my present day journey and as much as possible the reality of Kris, Bimb, and my ‘through the years” best friends (my extended family) and definitely my team of doctors who are now among my most trusted friends.”

Bilang bahagi ng update sa kanyang health condition, kinumpirma ni Kris cancer free na siya dahil clear ang intestines niya.

Pero nananatili ang kanyang autoimmune diseases.

Ayon kay Kris, sumailalim siya sa mga medical test kasama na ang PET (Positron emission tomography) scan.

Ngunit delikado pa rin ang tatlong autoimmune condition niya na “life-threatening” – ang Churg Strauss na ang tawag ngayon ay EGPA, Systemic Sclerosis or SCLERODERMA at ang LUPUS o Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

“I now have 5, possibly 6 autoimmune conditions. But the scary part is that 3 of the diagnosed ones are life threatening in other words- pwedeng ma-damage my vital organs or my blood vessels, specifically my artery connecting my lungs to my heart- to the extent na I can die immediately from a stroke or aneurysm or cardiac arrest.

“I am now suffering from a Lupus Arthritis flare. Deep bone pain. Hirap ako to walk without assistance. I’ll start my physical rehabilitation therapy in a few days. But I need to do so with a walker.

“My immunity is zero. Ang ubo for me can easily be pneumonia and ICU confinement. Strict rule, no direct even indirect sun exposure or my lupus flares will be triggered as well as my Scleroderma,” pagbabahagi ni Kris.

Dagdag pa niya, “I promised myself BAWAL SUMUKO. I need a goal, something for all of us to look forward to. #tuloyanglaban
