Lea Salonga Reacts on Willie Revillame's Decision Not To File Libel Case Against Her, et al

Internationally recognized Pinay theater actress Lea Salonga said she felt relieved knowing that Willie Revillame decides not to pursue the libel case against them and other artists whom Willie thought were attacking her on twitter.

"I mean, obviously that's a relief. However, I don't know if you can file a case against someone who's just expressing his opinion," Lea said during the Avon's 125th year party.

Lea added, "My thing is, you know what, you are in showbiz. You are and I am an open target... So you know what, anybody can say anything they want. Just don't make me muraand I will respect what they say. Huwag nila akong murahin. Rerespetuhin ko ang opinion nila."

It will be recalled that on April 8 during the last live airing of Willing Willie, Willie threatened to file a libel case against Lea, Bianca Gonzales, Jim Paredes, Aiza Seguerra, Agot Isidro, Tuesday Vargas, K Brosas, Leah Navarro and Mylene Dizon who publicly expressed their opinions about the controversial Jan-Jan Suan Willing Willie child abuse issue.

NEWS5 Will Go To The Vatican To Cover Pope John Paul II Beatification

Mula mismo sa Vatican City, kaisa ang NEWS5 sa paghahatid ng mga kaganapan sa beatification ni Pope John Paul II o ang proseso tungo sa paggagawad ng paka-santo sa isang indibidwal na napatunayang nagdulot ng himala. Sa misang gaganapin sa Holy See sa Mayo 1, hihirangin ang Santo Papang pinakaminahal ng buong mundo bilang 'Blessed Pope John Paul II' matapos ideklara ni Pope Benedict XVI na isang milagro ang paggaling ng isang madreng Pranses mula sa sakit na Parkinson's.

Naatasan ang batikang reporter ng NEWS5 na si Joey Villarama upang mag-ulat ng mga pangyayari mula sa Vatican. Tinatayang daan-daang libong debotong Katoliko ang sasaksi sa beatification anim na taon makaraang mamaalam ang Santo Papa noong Abril 2, 2005.

Ihahatid ng NEWS5 sa pamamagitan ng Aksyon TV Channel 41 ang misang pangungunahan ni Pope Benedict XVI sa Mayo a-Uno mula alas-kwatro ng hapon hanggang alas-sais y medya ng gabi oras dito sa Pilipinas.

Patuloy na minamahal ng mga Pilipino ang namayapang Santo Papa dahil sa ipinamalas nitong pagkalinga sa mga Asyano partikular na sa mga Pilipino. Dalawang beses na bumisita ang Santo Papa sa Pilipinas - noong 1981 at noong 1995 kung saan ipinagdiwang dito ang World Youth Day na dinaluhan ng mahigit pitong milyong Katoliko. Dahil sa umaapaw na suporta ng mga Pilipino sa Santo Papa, ang Catholic festival na ito ang itinuturing na pinakamalaking pagtitipon sa kasaysayan ng Kristyanismo.

Mag-uulat naman sa lahat ng newscast ng TV5 at Aksyon TV Channel 41 si Joey Villarama para personal na ikwento ang mga pangyayari sa beatification.

Antabayanan ang daan tungo sa pagka-santo ni Pope John Paul II sa NEWS5.

Pippa Middleton, Kate Middleton's Sister Almost Grab The Spotlight From Prince William - Kate Middleton Royal Wedding

LONDON - It may have been Kate Middleton's big day - but her sister and maid of honor Pippa Middleton turned almost as many heads on Friday attracting a flood of praise on the Internet.

As soon as she stepped out of a Rolls-Royce for the royal wedding at Westminster Abbey wearing a figure-hugging white dress with a plunging neckline, web surfers rushed to heap compliments on the 27-year-old.

Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan led the way, writing on microblogging site Twitter: "Tell you what!!! Pippa is fit..."

"Is Pippa Middleton England's most eligible bachelorette now?" tweeted Sarah Weaver, commented another Twitter user.

Some even thought she outshone Kate at her wedding to Prince William, which was watched by an estimated two billion TV viewers around the world and drew at least one million well-wishers onto the streets of London.

"Kate Middleton and Pippa Middleton are gorgeous. Pippa I'm afraid takes the biscuit," said @ellaTheStrokes on Twitter.

Would-be suitors looked set to be disappointed, however - Pippa is reportedly dating England cricketer Alex Loudon.

Pippa's dress was ivory and white satin, similar in detail to her 29-year-old sister's wedding gown.

The two sisters' dresses were created by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen and both outfits were praised by fashion experts and the public alike.

Pippa, who shares a flat with her brother in the upmarket London district of Chelsea, works for her parents' party goods business, Party Pieces
