“Hayaan mo silang gumawa ng sarili nilang kuwento. Let KARMA will get back to them,” ito ang komento ng aktres na si Sofia Andres sa kanyang cryptic post sa Facebook (FB) account kahapon, na ang nagma-manage ay ang kanyang Team Sofia.

Kasalukuyang nasa Madrid, Spain si Sofia kasama ang mag-ama niyang sina Zoe at Daniel Miranda kung saan sila nagpalipas ng holiday season kasama ang pamilya Lhuillier na grandparents ng huli.

Anyway, may post si Sofia ng larawan niyang naka-two-piece at ang mahaba niyang caption na halatang may pinatatamaan: “2025 NA, LET PEOPLE TALK SH*T ABOUT YOU!!

“It doesn’t matter what they say. It is not important. Focus on where you are and where you are trying to be. Everything else is irrelevant.

“People don’t understand what you want. People don’t know what you’ve been through.

“If they wanted to know, they would ask. If they didn’t ask, it probably means they don’t care and if they don’t care about you, you don’t need to care about them.

“These are people who won’t be in your life for too long anyway, the funny thing is the narrative will change when you get to where you want to be. But you can’t get to where you want to be if you let these irrelevant opinions affect you.

“Keep focusing on yourself and doing what you know you gotta do. Everything else will align after (Team Sofia).” 

Base sa mga binasa naming komento ay walang tinukoy kung sino ang pinatutungkulan ni Sofia Andres, baka mga nakaalitan niya noong nakaraang taon.

Sinisiraan daw siya…

SOFIA, MAY PINATATAMAAN TUNGKOL SA KARMA

Ang ganda ng pasok ng taong 2025 sa dating beauty queen-turned entrepreneur na si Maggie Wilson dahil nanalo siya sa kasong isinampa ng kanyang estranged husband na real estate mogul na si Victor Consunji.

Hindi kinatigan ng korte ang petisyon ni Ginoong Victor na Temporary at Permanent Protection Order sa ilalim ng Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act (VAWC) ng 2004, na pagbawalan si Maggie na makausap at makita ang nag-iisa nilang anak na menor-de-edad na si Connor, 12 years old.

Base sa mga posts ni Maggie sa kanyang Instagram stories, “I’m starting 2025 with some GOOD news.

“I recently received a decision from the court that DENIED a petition for a Temporary and a Permanent Protection Order under the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act (VAWC) of 2004, which was filed by my son’s father, Victor Consunji with Jose Mari O Magsalin as his council against me to stop me from being able to communicate or see my son on the basis that I am a threat to my son’s mental and physical well-being.”

Binanggit ni Maggie ang pangalan ng TV host na si Marc Nelson na nag-witness na nakita raw nito ang pinagdaraanang emotional stress ng anak niyang si Connor.

Aniya, “Despite several testimonies including the likes of Marc Nelson, who testified on his knowledge on behalf of the petitioner Victor Consunji of how my son suffered emotional stress, anxiety, and annoyance due to me, were all denied by the family court of the Republic of the Philippines.”

Ikinuwento rin nitong kinailangan ni Connor na tumayo sa witness stand.

“Unfortunately, this exercise also subjected to my son to being put on the stand at just 12 years old.

“An excerpt from the court states, ‘The (social media) posting merely expressed the

love and longings of a mother to her son who was separated from her. The respondent really missed her son, nothing more and nothing less. There was no credible evidence to support a finding that Respondent (Me) committed psychological violence against her son.’

“Therefore, ‘There is no reason to prohibit the Respondent from communicating with her son ©.  As a mother, the respondent has the right and duty to communicate with her son.’

“On behalf of all mothers going through something similar, I’d like to thank the Presiding Judge and the Family Court for seeing through what is right and just.

“I’d like to apologize for the behavior of my (ex) husband for yet again wasting the court’s valuable time.”

Kasunod nito ay ipinost ni Maggie ang larawan nila ni Connor noong magkasama pa sila sa Pilipinas.

Ang caption ni Maggie: “My love for you is unwavering, standing strong against the tests of distance and time.”

Samantala, kasalukuyang nasa ibang bansa pa rin si Maggie at hindi pa rin makabalik ng bansa dahil may warrant of arrest sa kanya na isinampa ng dating asawa.

Bukas ang BULGAR sa panig ni Ginoong Victor Consunji.

Ibinuking ng co-host na si Robi… GELA, CAUSE OF DELAY SA TAPING SA KAIIYAK

Bata pa lang si Gela Atayde ay kilala na namin at mahilig siyang makinig sa tsikahan namin ng Mama Sylvia Sanchez niya, gayundin ng kanyang Kuya Arjo at Ate Ria tungkol sa showbiz.

Dahil lumaking puro showbiz ang napag-uusapan sa hapag-kainan bukod pa sa napapanood ni Gela ang mga programa ng nanay niya, pinangarap din niyang umarte sa harap ng kamera tulad din ng kuya at ate niya.

Pero dahil mahigpit ang school kung saan siya nag-aaral ay hindi muna siya pinayagan ng mga magulang na pasukin ang showbiz, tulad din ng ginawa ng Ate Ria niya na nagtapos muna ng college.

Pero hindi ito naging hadlang sa bunsong anak na babae nina Sylvia at Papa Art Atayde dahil sumali siya sa dance group ng eskuwelahan nila kung saan nakikipag-compete sa ibang bansa at laging nananalo.

Kaya ang pangarap na umarte sa harap ng kamera ay napunta na sa pagsasayaw, na sobrang ine-enjoy ng dalaga. At ngayon, heto na siya, nasa harap ng camera pero bilang isa sa mga hosts ng programang Time to Dance (TTD) kasama si Robi Domingo at ang mga hurado na sina Ken San Jose at legit Misfitz coach na si Vimi Rivera.

Sa launching ng Time to Dance nu’ng Huwebes ay ibinuking ni Robi na sa tuwing may nae-eliminate sa dance competition ay walang ginawa si Gela kundi umiyak nang umiyak kaya kinailangan nilang huminto muna sa taping para hintaying maging okay na ang dalaga.

Natatawang kuwento ni Robi, “Every time nagkakaroon ng eliminations or may something, iiyak na naman si Gela. So, okay, hintay na naman tayo. Gela, ano ba’ng nangyayari? Tapusin natin ang programang ito, ha? It’s how she shows her heart.”

Passion project daw kasi ni Gela na magkaroon ng reality dance show para sa aspiring dancers pero kulang sa pinansiyal kaya natanong ang dalaga kung ano ang goal ng programang TTD na mapapanood na ngayong gabi, Sabado, sa Kapamilya Channel at A2Z handog ng Nathan Studios at ABS-CBN Studios.

“We also want to involve the Philippine Dance community, so we really do have guest from someone leading groups from the Philippines like U Peeps, of course Legit (Misfitz), Filipino All Stars and some Kapamilya stars who are credible (judge) like AC (Bonifacio), Darren (Espanto),” sey ni Gela.

Dagdag pa nito, “This is also an advocacy project for me because nakita ko ‘yung mga kulang at sobra. Here, in Time to Dance, I want to do this because I want to be able to help those who want to explore dance more and be inspired like I have teammates kasi who were not really financially stable enough.”

Ang gustong tukuyin ni Gela ay ‘yung mga kasamahan niyang magagaling din pero kapos sa panggastos kapag may competition sila sa ibang bansa at sa Time to Dance ay may mga ganito ring senaryo kaya gusto niyang tumulong sa mga ito, lalo’t nabigyan siya ng pagkakataong makatulong.

At dahil sa passion na ito ni Gela ay nabuo ang concept na ito na inaprubahan ni Direk Laurenti Dyogi bilang ABS-CBN’s Head ng TV Production at pinuno rin ng Star Magic at ng ina ng dalaga na si Sylvia Sanchez bilang producer ng Nathan Studios.

‘Di raw makalimutan ang naranasan… SITTI, PINATAYAN NG MIC, PINAURONG PA SA STAGE NG CO-SINGER SA ASAP

‘Kaaliw ang ginanap na mediacon ng Sessionistas na binubuo nina Ice Seguerra, Juris Fernandez, Princess Velasco, Sitti, Kean Cipriano, Duncan Ramos at Nyoy Volante dahil nag-reminisce sila ng mga unforgettable experiences nila noong nasa ASAP pa sila.

Sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam ay ang programang ASAP ang bumuo sa grupong Sessionistas na nagsimula noong 2009 at nawala sila sa show nu’ng 2015, pero sobrang nagpapasalamat ang mga nabanggit sa show dahil nabuo sila.

Walang sama ng loob ang mga nabanggit kung bakit sila nawala at kung anuman ang naging dahilan ng programa o ng network at naiintindihan nila ito.

Pero outside ASAP ay magkakaibigan sila, as in super close, at itinuring na mga kapamilya nila ang isa’t isa, lalo na kapag may mga pinagdaraanang problema, mapa-pamilya, personal o anupaman.

Perfect example na parehong brokenhearted noon sina Ice at Sitti sa kanilang respective relationship at dahil parehong masama ang loob ay umaming nag-inuman at nalasing sila sa Burgos Circle sa BGC, Taguig.

Si Duncan naman ay umaming laging late sa call time dahil puyat at may gig kinagabihan (Sabado) at wala pa siya sa mood kapag rehearsals pero alam niyang hindi excuse iyon kung may ganap.

May nasambit din si Kean na uso sa showbiz ang plastikan pero hindi na siya nag-elaborate kung ano ang experience niyang iyon, natawa na lang siya.

Pero si Sitti ay nagkuwento ng hindi niya makakalimutang senaryo habang nagba-blocking sila sa ASAP.

“May na-experience ako, pinatayan ako ng mic. Siyempre, blocking bago mag-perform,” simula niya.

Hirit ni Kean, “Plastikan ‘yan!”

Patuloy ni Sitti, “Nu’ng sumalang na kami, inurong na niya (kapwa singer), inurong na niya ako ru’n sa gilid (mula sa gitna), so may mga ganu’n.”

Kinukulit ang bossa singer kung sino ito, pero hindi niya binanggit at tapos na raw iyon, naalala lang niya.

Nagtatawanan ang ibang miyembro kung nasa ASAP pa ba ito at ano ang hit song, pero tumawa lang si Sitti.

Ang saya-saya ng naging takbo ng mediacon ng Love, Sessionistas: A Pre-Valentine concert na gaganapin sa February 8, The Theater at Solaire, 7 PM presented by Fire and Ice Entertainment at produced ng Fire and Ice LIVE, in partnership with Profero Aesthetics.

Samantala, si Ice raw ang nakaisip na magkaroon ng reunion concert ang Sessionistas.

Nag-okay naman daw ang lahat at nagbigay ng kanilang mga schedules at natapat na bago mag-Valentine ang show nila.

“Kaya nga ang sarap din na magkakasama kaming pito. Kasi we’re celebrating our friendship as well, that has stood the test of time.

“Ang tagal na rin naman talaga. So, ang sarap lang na alam mo ‘yun, we’re singing about lovers, we’re singing about friendship, we’re singing about all these amazing things.

“And alam mo ‘yun, nothing feels better than singing it with your friends na nasa tono.

“We have so many nice surprises for you, guys. Kakarating lang ng mga study, ng mga arrangement. And it’s so nice,” sey ni Nyoy Volante.
