MANILA, Philippines - Reluctant witness recalls this unfortunate incident on the set of a Kapuso show:

Male Celebrity suddenly had a coughing fit, which led him to spew generous wads of saliva on the floor.

RC prays that MC, who?s rumored to have a psychological condition, isn?t into drooling in his workplace.

Catty contestant

On the set of the same show, Female Celebrity has been heard badmouthing Male Contestant, convincing fellow contestants to join forces, so that they can beat MC. FC is obviously determined to win.

War of news divas

To silence all manner of speculation regarding the supposed rift between ABS-CBN news executives Maria Ressa and Luchi Cruz-Valdez, the Kapamilya network sent this official statement via SMS:

?The issue is not merely about a petty personal difference or a simple administrative concern. It is about an internal professional matter that is now being deliberated at the highest corporate level. The process is being done to uphold the utmost professional standards not only in our News and Current Affairs division but the entire organization.?

With this statement, Valdez?s one-month ?preventive suspension? was thus confirmed.

Careful

From a press dispatch, about Ruffa Gutierrez playing ?the gorgeous, fabulous and ambitious ex-model Daniella Valencia? on ABS-CBN?s ?Betty la Fea?:

?This role is definitely made for Ruffa because she is a natural as she portrays her character. With her poise, grace and scheming personality, she will do everything to get the career that she wants.? (Something missing here?)
