Lumipat na si PC sa GMA7—at tuluyan nang lumayo kay

Rival Comic, na may managerna ginawa ang lahat upang ha-rangin ang career ni PC. Dahilba malaking banta si PC kayRC?

•Ogie Alcasid, on ex-wifeMichelle Van Eimeren’s wed-ding to Mark Morrow:

“Michelle is still the motherof my kids. Mark is now part ofour family in the same mannerthat, I suppose, Regine (Ve-lasquez) is part of theirs.” (Op-erative word, “suppose”?)

•Mark Herras, on reportshe got a starlet pregnant:

“Tawa lang ako nang tawa… sige ilabas ninyo kahit ano… magpakita ng ebidensiya …alam ko naman sa sarili ko nawala.”

•Yasmien Kurdi, on work-ing with JC de Vera again:

“Huwag na muna. Baka …matawag na naman akong des-perada.” (Good answer.)

•JC’s reaction:“Siyempre sad ako dahil for

me, work yon … Tingin ko, ka-pag nagkasama kami ulit, mag-pa-patch things up din. Kusa nalang mawawala yun.”(Promise?)
