Charice Performs Her First International Single "Fingerprint" at Oscars After-Party

Charice performed her new song and her first international single "Fingerprint" from her upcoming US debut album in the Oscars after-party at Mr. Chow in Los Angeles last Feb. 22, 2009. However, she wasn’t able to sing the whole song because of some technical problems.



Here are parts of the lyrics:

How can I be sure
When everything is so confusing
I’m old enough to learn
That I’m too young to know what I’m doing
Gotta break free
From what used to be
It no longer makes sense for me
How do I stand out
In a world that’s all about fitting in
I’m certain of my doubts
But I wouldn’t be me for no reason
My identity
Right in front of me
There’s nobody else I wanna be like
I’m just trying to find
Find my fingerprint

Wowowee Facing "Bigtime Pera O Bayong" Scam Controversy

ABS-CBN noontime show Wowowee is again facing another controversy. This time on their "Bigtime Pera O Bayong" game segment where the show supposedly gave a house and lot, car, and P1 million cash as grand prize, a house and lot as second prize, and P1 million as third prize.

In last night's PEP article titled "Wowowee winner complains about the "repossessed" house-and-lot prize" by Nerisa Almo, a certain Nena Santos - second prize winner of Wowowee's "Bigtime Pera o Bayong" on July 7, 2008, complaint about what she's been through to claim her supposedly brand new house and lot which, to her dismay, turned-out to be a re-possessed house not yet ready for occupancy.

Read PEP's full article below:

"Laging sinasabi ni Willie na ang Wowowee, programa ng walang pag-asa. Kaya asang-asa talaga ako na 'yong bahay na mapapanalunan ko, tulad ng bahay na nakikita namin sa TV at saka may laman," lamented Nena Santos, winner of Wowowee's "Bigtime Pera o Bayong"on July 7, 2008.

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) got an exclusive interview with Santos, who resides on Banlat Road, Tandang Sora, Quezon City, with regard to her complaint about the house and lot that she supposedly won in that segment of the noontime show.

As the second-prize winner, Santos said, she's supposed to get a house and lot from the real estate developer Globe Asiatique. The first prize winner won a house and lot, a car, and P1 million cash; while the third prize winner got P1 million. After seven months, however, Santos claims she still has not received her prize.

Santos said that she's been going to Wowowee every month to follow up her prize. But on her every visit, a certain Wowowee staff named Abby would only tell her: "'Antay-antay lang po tayo, tingnan na lang natin,' ganun lagi ang sinasabi."

Until her last follow up early this February, another staff told her to follow up the house and lot herself at the Globe Asiatique office in Ortigas. She told PEP in disappointment, "Parang nainis pa sa akin na, 'Sige na nga, nanay, pumunta na lang kayo sa Wowowee bukas. Hanapin ninyo si Ellen, bibigyan kayo ng certification at kayo na lang ang makiusap sa Globe Asiatique.'"

The 56-year-old Santos said that after receiving the certification, she thought everything would be smooth and easy in getting her "dream house," which is located at Santa Barbara Villas II in San Mateo, Rizal.

To her dismay, she still could not move into the house after waiting for seven months.

"Pagdating namin doon sa San Mateo, hinanap namin si Engineer Lalaine. Sabi niyang ganun, may laman pa raw 'yong bahay dahil na-repossessed yung ibinibigay sa akin at may laman pa. Hindi na brand new, repossessed ang bahay at may laman pa," said Santos, who only has a "permit to occupy" in her hands.

She continued, "Ang ginawa ng isang tauhan niya, tinanggalan lang ng isang jalousy, sinilip namin doon sa loob. Nandoon pa nga lahat ng gamit dahil naremata nga daw."

The complainant was really disappointed especially when she recalled what Wowowee host Willie told her during the day she won as the second-prize winner of "Big Time Pera o Bayong." She said, "Sinabi pang ganun, 'Naku, nanay, magandang bahay 'yan sa Saint Monique Valais, kaloob ng Globe Asiatique, kumpleto ang gamit."

When she asked a staff of Globe Asiatique, she learned that the house that was shown to her would cost only P550,000—half the price of the house she supposedly won and worth less than the third winner's P1 million prize.

Santos added that the house was probably the prize of the winning contestant of Wowowee's "Want More, No More" segment, which replaced "Bigtime Pera o Bayong."

Globe Asiatique allegedly told her that she still has to wait for 10-15 days to give the former occupants time to take their things out of the house.

"Ano ba naman ako, kawawa naman ako. Hindi na nga natupad 'yong walang gamit, 'tapos luma pa ang bibigay. Kaya nga nagrereklamo ako. Bukod na sa luma na, repossessed lang, hindi pa fully furnished," commented Santos.

The complainant said that she could not be wrong about the house and lot that was promised to her because the "Bigtime" winner on July 1, 2008—which was only a week before Santos won—had shown her brand new, single detached, and fully furnished house in an episode of Rated K last August 2008.

Hence, she questioned the staff from Wowowee by saying, "Bakit po si Mary Ann, nanalo noong July 1, pinakita sa programa ni Korina Sanchez 'yong bahay na napanalunan?' sabi ko. 'Etching lang po 'yon,' sabi ni Ivy. 'Hindi po talaga 'yon ang bahay na binibigay, nakiusap lang po sila sa Globe Asiatique.'"

The same Wowowee staff allegedly told her, "Hindi naman porke nanalo kayo ng house and lot, mansion na ang mapapanalunan n'yo. Pasalamat pa nga kayo, nanay, may house and lot kayo. Ang dapat ninyong ginawa, nagsimba kayo, nagpasalamat kayo at may house and lot na kayo.'"

Nena Santos is now planning to seek help from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to be able to own the house that she won in Wowowee.

She also took this opportunity to call the attention of Wowowee contestants who may have the same fate as hers. She suspected that she's not the only winning contestant who experienced this kind of treatment.

Santos narrated, "Kasi tinanong ko sa Globe Asiatique, 'Ako lang ba ang nagrereklamo?'"

The Globe Asiatique staff allegedly replied, "Hindi po, kasi marami rin ang nagrereklamo."

She continued telling the staff from the real estate developer, "'Ang akala ko kasi 'yong makukuha ko katulad ng sa Rated K.' The staff replied, 'Oho, 'yon ang pagkakamali, dapat ipakikita nila kung ano ang ibibigay nila.'"

Santos also told PEP that her family has lost interest in watching their favorite noontime show. "Kaya nga sabi ko, hindi naman pala totoo 'yan. Kaya ngayon, hindi na kami masyado nanonood ng Wowowee. Dati talagang tutok kami sa Wowowee," she ended.

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN lady boss Charo Santos-Concio already issued a statement regarding the "complaints" yesterday, February 24, via "Flash Report."

She said, "Sinabi pang ganun, 'Naku, nanay, magandang bahay 'yan sa Saint Monique Valais, kaloob ng Globe Asiatique, kumpleto ang gamit."

When she asked a staff of Globe Asiatique, she learned that the house that was shown to her would cost only P550,000�half the price of the house she supposedly won and worth less than the third winner's P1 million prize.

Santos added that the house was probably the prize of the winning contestant of Wowowee's "Want More, No More" segment, which replaced "Bigtime Pera o Bayong."

Globe Asiatique allegedly told her that she still has to wait for 10-15 days to give the former occupants time to take their things out of the house.

"Ano ba naman ako, kawawa naman ako. Hindi na nga natupad 'yong walang gamit, 'tapos luma pa ang bibigay. Kaya nga nagrereklamo ako. Bukod na sa luma na, repossessed lang, hindi pa fully furnished," commented Santos.

The complainant said that she could not be wrong about the house and lot that was promised to her because the "Bigtime" winner on July 1, 2008�which was only a week before Santos won�had shown her brand new, single detached, and fully furnished house in an episode of Rated K last August 2008.

Hence, she questioned the staff from Wowowee by saying, "Bakit po si Mary Ann, nanalo noong July 1, pinakita sa programa ni Korina Sanchez 'yong bahay na napanalunan?' sabi ko. 'Etching lang po 'yon,' sabi ni Ivy. 'Hindi po talaga 'yon ang bahay na binibigay, nakiusap lang po sila sa Globe Asiatique.'"

The same Wowowee staff allegedly told her, "Hindi naman porke nanalo kayo ng house and lot, mansion na ang mapapanalunan n'yo. Pasalamat pa nga kayo, nanay, may house and lot kayo. Ang dapat ninyong ginawa, nagsimba kayo, nagpasalamat kayo at may house and lot na kayo.'"

Nena Santos is now planning to seek help from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to be able to own the house that she won in Wowowee.

She also took this opportunity to call the attention of Wowowee contestants who may have the same fate as hers. She suspected that she's not the only winning contestant who experienced this kind of treatment.

Santos narrated, "Kasi tinanong ko sa Globe Asiatique, 'Ako lang ba ang nagrereklamo?'"

The Globe Asiatique staff allegedly replied, "Hindi po, kasi marami rin ang nagrereklamo."

She continued telling the staff from the real estate developer, "'Ang akala ko kasi 'yong makukuha ko katulad ng sa Rated K.' The staff replied, 'Oho, 'yon ang pagkakamali, dapat ipakikita nila kung ano ang ibibigay nila.'"

Santos also told PEP that her family has lost interest in watching their favorite noontime show. "Kaya nga sabi ko, hindi naman pala totoo 'yan. Kaya ngayon, hindi na kami masyado nanonood ng Wowowee. Dati talagang tutok kami sa Wowowee," she ended.

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN lady boss Charo Santos-Concio already issued a statement regarding the "complaints" yesterday, February 24, via "Flash Report."

"You Changed My Life" Grossed P18 Million on its Opening Day

The on-screen tandem of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo proves its power on ticket sales once again. Their second movie team up, You Changed My Life, was reported to have raked P18 Million nationwide gross on its opening day alone last February 25 according to Star Cinema Booking and Distribution. This surpasses the P14 Million nationwide opening day gross of A Very Special Love, which premiered last year.

A Very Special Love’s box office success earned John Lloyd and Sarah the recognition as Box Office King and Queen from the SM Cinema management. The warm reception for their team up gave birth to the idea of having the sequel, You Changed My Life, which was also helmed by AVSL director Cathy Garcia-Molina and produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films. Although it’s still early to say, John Lloyd and Sarah are already projected to claim the Box Office King and Queen title once again this time around for You Changed My Life.

Although there’s a big reason to celebrate, both John Lloyd and Sarah admitted to Showbiz News Ngayon that they’re a bit sad that the whole movie experience is now over. The Pop Star Princess will go on a concert tour in North America this March and April while the award-winning actor will return to the taping of his hit teleserye I Love Betty La Fea with his ka-love team Bea Alonzo.

Sarah reveals the kind of friend she found in John Lloyd through the course of the shooting of their two films. "In this business madalang makahanap ng taong ipaparamdam sa ‘yo na hindi ka lang basta ka-trabaho. Hindi ka lang babatiin kasi magkatrabaho kayo, papakitaan ka ng maganda dahil may nakakakitang ibang tao. Kay John Lloyd nabura ‘yung perception na ‘yun. Nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord na binigyan niya ako ng pagkakataong makilala ang isang John Lloyd Cruz."

On the other hand, John Lloyd talked about what he will miss most about Sarah. "Meron siyang special power. She has this endearing quality to make people feel very special. Parang magic. Papasok siya ng kwarto and everyone biglang magla-light up ‘yung face. Instantly lahat nahahawa sa aura niya."

Be sure to catch You Changed My Life now showing in theaters nationwide.

Dr. Manny Calayan Issued a Statement in Defense of Boy Abunda Against Dra. Vicki Belo's Comment

Dr. Manny Calayan of Calayan Surgicenter, where Boy Abunda and his talents are the major cliet-endorsers, issued a formal statement in defense of Boy Abunda against Dra. Vicki Belo's comment (read related article here) on Abunda's looks and to question Belo's business ethics.

The full statement reads:

"We are behind Boy Abunda, 101 percent. We understand his feelings and reactions to the ridiculing and insulting remarks he sustained from Dra. Belo. Promoting one's business or services by stepping on someone was uncalled for. Besides, Dingdong Dantes used to be our endorser and part of what he has become came from our services, and so did other of her big named endorsers: Claudine Barretto, Ruffa Gutierrez, and Katrina Halili.

"There's a simple reason for our 'TO C TO BELIEVE' campaign and that's more about inner beauty that's from a good and sincere heart like Boy Abunda, which transcends outward a person's life and touches other people's lives. And through that inner beauty, we see and believe in the beauty of other people and we believe in their goodness! We accept whoever you are, we make you feel good. That's the Calayan experience and that's TO 'C' IS TO BELIEVE!"

Boy Abunda's Message to Dra. Vicki Belo: "Walang Sinuman ang May Karapatang Manlait sa Aking Pagkatao!"

Boy Abunda strikes back on Dra. Vicki Belo!

When Dra. Vicki Belo took the hot seat of Showbiz Central's "Gimme Mo" (read article and watch video here) segment Sunday afternoon, she was asked to comment about Calayan's (her biggest rival) claim that they have better-looking endorsers than Belo Medical Group. She said, "Well, first of all, I feel kinda bad. Kasi, ako naman ang nag-umpisa ng mga bati-bati ng mga artista. I feel bad, kasi parang ginagaya lang nila ako. Sana naman, maghanap naman sila ng unique marketing… And I’d like to say, if you want to look like Boy Abunda, then go to Calayan. But if you like to look like Dingdong Dantes and Piolo Pascual, come to Belo."

Last night on Boy Abunda's late showbiz program SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon, he tearfully answered Belo’s fiery statement on Showbiz Central. And he said, "Nang magkabati sina Kris at Vicki, tinanong po ako ni Kris, how did I feel. At ang sabi ko po mga kaibigan, I missed her. That came from the bottom of my heart, I missed Vicki.

"Off-cam, sinabi ko po kay Kris na nakaka-miss din dahil noong mga panahon na nag-uusap at hindi pa nagpapahinga yung aming pagiging magkaibigan, everytime she gets into problems, she'll call me for advice. Sabi ko dito sa Hayden controversy, siyempre tahimik ako dahil hindi nga kami nag-uusap.

"Kahapon right after The Buzz, my first caller po was Ruffa Guttierez, na sinasabi sa akin kung narinig ko na yung sinabi ni Dra. Vicki Belo sa [Showbiz] Central, sa kabila. Hindi pa. That was the first time I was hearing it.

"Hanggang may mga text messages na pumasok po sa akin. At sinabi kong hindi naman siguro sasabihin sa akin ni Vicki ito. Baka nagkakamali lang dahil malalim naman ang aming pinagsamahan at matagal ang aming pinagsamahan. At sabi ko nga, wala naman kaming pinag-awayan ni Vicki.

Nasindak po ako, na-surprise po ako, di po ako makapaniwala nung luminaw na lahat ng mga sinabi nya…kaibigan ko pong matalik si Dra. Vicki Belo for years. Vicki if you’re watching alam mo na kahit kailan hindi ako namuhunan sa gandang panlabas dahil alam ko wala ako masyado nun. Alam mo na namuhunan ako ng lakas ng loob, sipag at tiyaga, dasal, at Vicki wala akong ilusyong gumanda. At wala ring ninumang may karapatan na manlait sa aking pagkatao."

Boy narrated that his mom called him late Sunday night from Samar and asked him if he did something wrong to Vicky and why the lady doctor made fun of him on national tv. Boy assured her mom that he did not do anything against the famous cosmetic doctor.

"Vicki if you’re watching, you know i did not do anything bad to you to deserve this insult. Wala akong ginawa sa ‘yo. And Nay, if you’re watching, wala po akong ginawa. Narating ko po ang maliit na espasyo ko dito sa industriya na wala po akong tinapakan. At mga kaibigan, hindi po tayo kinakailangang kasing-ganda o kasing-gwapo ni Dingdong Dantes para maging masaya at para maging mabuting tao." he added.

Dra. Vicki Belo Answers Questions About Calayan Surgicenter, Katrina Halili, Kris Aquino and Hayden Kho on "Gimme Mo"

Dra. Vicki Belo was the guest personality in last Sunday's "Gimme Mo" segment of GMA-7's Showbiz Central. Questions from Regine Velasquez, Lorna Tolentino, Lolit Solis, Butch Francisco and Richard Gomez were selected for Mo Twister to ask.

Mo is the one closest to Dra. Vicki and Hayden when they were still together so the interview, according to Mo, is the hardest he would have done so far.

"Hi, Mo, are we friend or foe?," the lady doctor asked Mo after she was introduced by him.

Mo replied back, "I'm your friend. Kaya nga, I'm very, very nervous now. Siyempre, we're so close, tapos I'm gonna grill you. Kaya lang, no exception. Dapat matindi talaga."

Most Wanted Question No. 5: Sa lahat ng mga artista, kanino ka pinakanahirapan dahil sa dami ng dapat baguhin sa katawan niya?

"Number one, never na nahihirapan ang Belo Medical Group dahil napakagaling namin at kumpleto kami sa mga laser. Number two, kahit meron man artista na ganoon, hindi ko rin masasabi dahil sa patient-doctor confidentiality."

Pero ano ba ang napi-feel niya ngayong dumarami na ang competition ng Belo Medical Group? And, of course, their greatest rival is Calayan Surgicentre. Paramihan din sila ng artistang endorser. How does she feel 'pag sinasabi ng kabila na ang artista ko, mas maganda sa artista mo?

"Well, first of all, I feel kinda bad. Kasi, ako naman ang nag-umpisa ng mga bati-bati ng mga artista. I feel bad, kasi parang ginagaya lang nila ako. Sana naman, maghanap naman sila ng unique marketing... And I'd like to say, if you want to look like Boy Abunda, then go to Calayan. But if you like to look like Dingdong Dantes and Piolo Pascual, come to Belo,"

"Joke lang yun ha... Pero Boy is the main endorser of Calayan, right?" said Dra. Belo.

"Dingdong is one of your main." added by Mo.

Most Wanted Question No. 4: Sa tingin mo, kaya tumututol ang anak na si Cristalle sa dating boyfriend ni Vicki na si Hayden Kho ay dahil si Cristalle ang unang niligawan ni Hayden?

"You know, I'd like to clear that kasi it's so maling information. Ang nangyari kasi, nag-meet kami ni Hayden sa isang UST [University of Sto. Tomas]
contest, Mr. and Ms. Medicine. Pareho kaming doctor, pareho kaming judges. Dumaan siya, nagpalakpakan ang mga tao. Napaka-popular niya sa UST. Naintriga naman ako na sino itong taong ito.

"
Anyway, I've found out na he's an intern at Makati Med. Nasa age na 25 to 26, and my daughter then was 23. So, sabi ko, 'Ay, bagay 'to. Naghahanap na ako... My daughter was taking pre-med, and then, hindi niya type, nag-quit. So, sabi ko, 'Sino kaya ang magte-takeover ng clinic ko ngayon?' The only thing that can happen is for Cristalle to marry a doctor, but hindi sila magkakilala ha, not at all.

"So, noong umuwi ako sa bahay, I told her, 'Cristalle, I've found na someone you can marry!' Cristalle was, 'Mommy, ano ba 'yang sinasabi mo?' So, I said, 'I've found this doctor, guwapo siya, matangkad, matalino, charming. So, 'yan, marry na lang a doctor kasi ayaw mong maging doctor.' And she said, 'Mommy naman, may boyfriend ako, si Jeff,' na we love very much. Pero sabi ko, 'Still, you meet him na lang kasi kailangan ko talaga ng doctor.' Sorry, Jeff, ha..."

So, ikaw ang nag-matchmaker?

"Ako ang nag-matchmaker. It's not that they don't like each other, it's because my daughter is very faithful. And Hayden had a girlfriend naman at that time. Hayden will visit the clinic. So ako, 'Cristalle, what do you think?' So, she said, 'Mommy, he's cute but I have a boyfriend.' So, I'm proud of you, Cristalle, because you have the right values."

May suspetsa ka ba noon pa na hindi magiging tapat sa 'yo si Hayden?

"
Alam mo talaga, most of the time, talagang wala. For such a long time, wala. Because he's the most caring, thoughtful boyfriend. And he's always with me. We're together at work, we're together at night.

"
Pero one time, I went to Joyce Jimenez's wedding because I'm one of the ninangs. I was in the States and I only went there for four days, tapos six days supposedly. Parang may kutob lang ako na may nangyayari. So, binola-bola ko lang si Hayden na uuwi ako in six days, tapos umuwi ako in four days.

"Galing sa airport, alam mo naman ang flight, di ba, dumarating ng six in the morning? So, dumiretso ako sa condo niya [Hayden]. Tapos yung puso ko, parang ganoon pa...akala ko may mahuhuli ako run. Pero pagpasok ko, nag-iisa lang siya. At saka he was so happy to see me. He was hugging me like, 'I'm so happy you came back early!' So, nawala yung doubt ko."

Talk about the very infamous video circulated. Meron daw siya nito as evidence. So, once and for all, can she tell if there's really a video with Hayden and another girl?

"Yes, there's a video, but it's not what you think. No, what I saw was a video that Hayden was taping Katrina [Halili]. Like, asking her a question, 'Do you love me?' Si Katrina naman, 'Mahal na mahal kita.' So, that's enough evidence, di ba?"

What were the other lines she heard from the video?

"The line that was painful... Actually, there's many painful, but the most painful video, the one that was masakit was: 'Girlfriend mo lang naman siya, e. Ako, asawa mo.' That was what Katrina said."

Most Wanted Question No. 3: Yun bang pagbabati n'yo ni Kris Aquino, sincere at bukal sa puso or imbento lang dahil gusto niyang mag-rate ang bagong show? (Kris interviewed Dra. Belo recently for the former's new show in ABS-CBN, Showbiz News Ngayon).

"Well, I did the interview kasi tinawagan ako ni Deo Endrinal, yung manager ni Kris. Tapos sabi niya, 'It's the chance also for you guys to bury the hatchet, so to speak.' Talagang ako, sincere ako sa desire na matapos na yung mga bad memories, etc., at maging okey kami ni Kris. And I'd like to really believe na sincere na rin naman si Kris na makipagbati sa akin."

Did you apologize to her or did she apologize to you? May expectation ba na kailangang mag-apologize?

"Hindi, walang nag-apologize, kasi wala naman kaming ginawang masama sa isa't isa. It's just circumstances that were beyond our control."

Most Wanted Question No. 2: Napatawad mo na ba si Katrina Halili?

"Alam mo, Kristiyano ako at sa buong buhay ko naman, palagi akong nagpapatawad. Pero kung tinatanong mo ako kung nasaktan ako? Sobra! Kung upset? Medyo. Kasi, of all people, malapit na malapit ako kay Katrina, at akala ko...

"Besides, Mo, when you're angry and bitter, nakakatanda yun."

Regardless of the denial na Dr. Hayden Kho gave at denial ni Rufa Mae Quinto, feeling ba niya, in her opinion, may nangyari ba talaga between Hayden and Rufa Mae?

"Opinion ko lang 'to? Gut feel ko lang 'to? Yeah, I really think something happened between them. I really think they had something, like a fling."

Do you base this feeling on feeling lang or, kahit paano, may konting evidence?

"Hindi naman evidence, as in sobrang evidence. Pero may evidence na hindi naman yung inaakala mong evidence."

Most Wanted Question No. 1: Kung hindi ka naging successful, sa tingin mo, mamahalin ka pa rin ni Hayden?

"Alam mo, medyo mahirap 'yang question na 'yan, kasi kasama na rin sa package, di ba? Kasi, that's what I am. So, how can I say if that wasn't me? I don't know, di ba? Kasi, hindi na ako yun kung wala ako nun."

Did you ever feel that Hayden, or any of your past boyfriends, was a gold digger?

"Definitely not Hayden. Because he didn't ask for anything. He never took advantage of me, which he could have done a lot. And he never did. And, in fact, he was trying to match me, di ba? If I give him something, he will. Actually, siya talaga yung nagbibigay ng regalo, palaging nagsu-surprise. So I will never say Hayden is a gold digger. Pero yung past boyfriend ko, bago si Hayden, oo, aaminin ko, gold digger siya."

Does Hayden deserve a second chance?

"Mo, I don't know... What do you think?"

Kaya mo ba na magbigay ng second chance?

"I think everybody deserves a second chance. All I can say is... and I think it's a lesson to everybody. In my life, it became successful because I always give it all to God. It's like, 'God, bahala ka na sa akin.' And it always comes out well, except sa lovelife ko. Dun matigas ang ulo ko. Dun gusto ko palagi, ako ang namimili. Ako ang nagde-decide kung sino at medyo palpak ako dun. So ngayon, sinasabi ko na, in front of everybody, 'God, bahala na po Kayo na maghanap ng tamang lalaki para sa akin."

What's the worst part of being Vicki Belo?

"The hardest part of being me is that, many people... Hayden was not part of them ha, but many people want to take advantage of me. And I feel really, really bad kasi naman, nandito ako para tulungan ang mga tao. To be the best they can be and to be the best version of themselves.

"And I'm sincere in wanting to make the Philippines as the cosmetic surgery capital. To make people fly here and medical tourism. At naniniwala akong lahat ng tao ay mababait at walang gagawing masama sa akin. Pero maraming beses akong nasasawi... Tama ba yung word ko? Kasi medyo talaga, yung you think ang mga tao sincere, tapos nagte-take advantage sa 'yo."
