FOR those who missed last weekend?s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)
Lawyer Joji Alonso on the next move of client Angelica Panganiban re Claudine Barretto?s charges against her:
?Angelica has been advised to keep silent. There?s no need for her to say anything... She has not done anything wrong, much less malign Claudine...It is Angelica who is being maligned [through] these unfounded accusations. Neither is there a need to dignify this incident by saying something more than what has already been said.? (Kaya n?yo yun?)
Richard Gutierrez on Jewel Mische:
?Jewel and I had something very special, I admit it... She will always be special to me. She has a place in my heart and we are still communicating. But like I said, I had a lot of time in the island to think things through and I realize that it?s better for me now to learn more about who I am as a person and be a better man somehow... and focus. So [believe it or not] I?m single.? (This is called dumping her gently.)
Maria Venus Raj, asked if an interpreter could have boosted her chances to win Miss U:
?May chance po talaga... maganda po yung sagot na maibibigay ko. Pero... tatawagin nga ba ako sa top five kung may interpreter ako.? (Uh, the winner had one.)
Dingdong Dantes, asked if he feels Marian Rivera is the last woman in his life:
?Hindi lang po yun ang na-feel ko, marami pang ibang bagay. Pero kung yun ang impression or thinking na ?eto na talaga yung totoong babae sa buhay ko, mas gugustuhin ko yung isang special moment na sabihin sa lahat na ?eto na talaga siya. Sa ngayon, nasa sa akin na muna yun.? (Is that a no?)
Ogie Alcasid, asked if fiancée Regine Velasquez would wear a million-peso wedding gown:
?Meron siyang mga gown na ganoon kamahal but I think hindi naman ganoon kamahal yung kukunin namin. Nakasiksik sa budget naman.? (That?s a no.)
James Yap, asked if he has already planned Baby James? future despite the end of his marriage to Kris Aquino:
?Siyempre, iyong mayroong maipamana sa kanya at gusto ko mapursige ko ang ginagawa ko kasi lahat ito para kay Baby James.? (Is that a yes?)
James, on facing personal trials amid the separation:
?Basta alam mo sa sarili mo na kaya ito. So, lahat ng trials sa buhay ko, e lagi akong nagdadasal at iga-guide ako ni Lord sa tama.? (Di ba si Kris din?) Gerry Plaza (Startalk, The Buzz, Showbiz Central)
