Vicky Belo Vs. Boy Abunda - Misery Loves Company

Vicky Belo just lost her Doctor cum boyfriend, Hayden Kho to hotter, younger & sexier Katrina Halili, not only that - this is the girl you have surgically enhanced, as well as the girl who's on all her billboards... of course she's bitter as hell! Too bad she didn't keep her mouth shut for her latest commentary versus rival surgeon Manny Calayan

“If you want to look like Piolo Pascual and Dingdong Dantes, you go to Belo. If you want to look like Boy Abunda, you go to Calayan.”

Now that is definitely uncalled for. If we take it philosophically (magpaka-pilosopo ta) then it would be a line against her that her top model was in an affair with her boyfriend/ model.




Sure there's no comparison between Piolo and Dingdong to Boy Abunda, but that's not a reason to rub it in. Would Dr. Vicky Belo like to compare herself to Katrina Halili? Can there be such a comparison too? OUCH! That would be insult over injury, but she's lucky nobody was as mean as her to bring that up

Dr. Vicky Belo caused even more of a stir when she tried to defend herself

“Boy is Calayan’s main male endorser, in the same way that Piolo and Dingdong are my main male endorsers. Why are [people] making a big deal out of that? Calayan put Boy on his billboard because he is proud of him, right?”

The Calayans aren't exactly a credible bunch either. They have had their own problems as I hear with botched surgical jobs as well. Maybe that was why they wanted to ride the band-wagon on Boy Abunda's "credibility" so to speak



Belo should just lay low until she gets a hold of herself. Her comment was unkind. Although it's true Boy Abunda may have over-reacted. No reason to feel insulted, we have to accept what is right? He's no Piolo Pascual or Dingdong Dantes but then again, his boyfriend hasn't been caught in a public affair now has he?

Vicky Belo should have been just a little bit more tactful, considering her stature... sure she "makes people beautiful" but does she truly make them happy? Her model/ boyfriend obviously wanted more when he went to Katrina Halili

The Miss Cebu Burden

The Miss Cebu controversy has gone on long enough. It has been weeks since the pageant and sure Kimberley Therese Burden was wronged but as far as I have witnessed, everyone has come to the table to apologize and try to amend what has gone wrong

• I read a public apology from CCTC - Cebu City Tourism Council. It was a whole page of Sunstar I think
  
• Numerous reports that have proclaimed Kim Burden the "real" and "only" texters' choice winner for Miss Cebu
• A very public investigation/ review of the event and its proponents was conducted
  
• The Vice Mayor and "acting" Vice Mayor have said their piece and now quite possibly over-reacting to the matter
  
• The offer was made for a separate event that would formally "award" Kim Burden for winning Globe's Texters' choice, which I believe was declined
  

I don't think there's anything else to fight for here. I don't understand what "truth" people are looking for. Are they implying that Kimberley Therese Burden is the real winner of Miss Cebu and not Kris Tiffany Janson? And that Miss Cebu judges - Tweety De Leon Gonzales and Katrina Holigores, were all part of a conspiracy?

That would be a big allegation and I hope if that is the intent that it be made up front and not all this argumentum ad misericordiam about how frustrated and emotionally impaired the poor girl was made to become. For those who don't know... Argumentum ad Misericordiam is an appeal to pity. A fallacy which tries to win support for their argument or idea by exploiting her or his opponent's feelings of pity or guilt

In all truth I even voted for Kim Burden because I thought she was really pretty and I had my bets on her too. But this is just ridiculous! She should rise above this. Her family should rise above this.

She was wronged. And that has been said so many times now. It should stop and let people move on with their lives. She should move on with her life. The bitterness must stop.

Learn from Charice Pempengco. She did not win that ABS-CBN contest "Little Big Star," but she didn't cry foul. I thought it was unfair at the time, but we can't all be judges now can we? And yet she rose to the challenge and she lived up to the talent that was given to her. And where is she now? And where is the winner of that ABS-CBN contest - Sam Concepcion? Sure he's also famous and he claimed that win, but there is no comparison. Charice is by far more famous, and she deserves it. This can be an allusion.

Miss Cebu is a great pageant. Let us not destroy it's integrity. It is imperfect like a lot of things I do agree. But what makes Cebu better are the Cebuanos who rise to the challenge. I do acknowledge that wrong-doing was committed and this should be addressed. I believe it was addressed.

There are bigger issues - poverty, corruption, crime and the efforts to improve education and overall the quality of life in Cebu, let us please let Cebu get back to that

Rustom Padilla - Dead, Bebe Gandanghari Lives!

Wow have you heard? The famous Filipino actor Rustom Padilla is dead! Yep he died and rose again as Bebe Gandanghari! It's not joke. He became one of the first and one of the most famous (or is it infamous?) transvestites in the Philippines

There are of course multiple and varied responses. Some are aghast while some have grown to accept him. It is kind of hard to swallow at first since he was a rather good-looking matinee idol during his hay-day. He was even married to one of the most beautiful faces in Philippine cinema - yep I consider Carmina Villaruel very beautiful. Only to find out that perhaps he married her because he wanted to copy HER look.

Just look at him as a "her" she's gorgeous though I don't deny that. Just a little awkward I think. This is Bebe Gandanghari on the set of The Buzz. He still sounds male so that's a little weird but looks very female now




If you're interested, you should look at this. It's like seeing a guy come into being only to realize he wasn't a guy but a girl! Weird!
