Buzz ng Bayan Slaps Roxanne Cabanero with Evidences in Investigative Report (February 23)

ABS-CBN's Buzz ng Bayan aired an investigative report on February 23 about Roxanne Cabañero y Acosta and the new rape case she filed against comedian Vhong Navarro. Buzz ng Bayan presented Roxanne's sworn affidavit vis-à-vis statements and evidences that will support or falsify Roxanne's claims.

After presenting Roxanne Cabanero's background according to the people she has worked with in the past and her interview with Doris Bigornia of ABS-CBN News, Buzz ng Bayan dug deeper into the issue with its own investigation from where Vhong Navarro first met Roxanne Cabanero up to the whereabouts of the It's Showtime host at the time Roxanne claims she was raped.

In an interview with Astoria Plaza Hotel's project director Ric Valenzuela, it was revealed that Roxanne Cabanero nor the Slimmer's World Miss Bikini Philippines 2010 candidates were not checked in on the said hotel, contrary to what Roxanne said in her affidavit. 

Pets were also not allowed in the said hotel according to Valenzuela, so there's a question on Roxanne's claim that her co-candidate, who was with a pet dog at the time, saw her coming out of Vhong's car after the rape incident.

Buzz ng Bayan host Boy Abunda also interviewed Gwen Villanueva, manager of Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park where Vice Ganda's April 24, 2010 concert was held. Villanueva confirmed that the concert started late and she said that she saw Vhong Navarro performed and stayed until the end of the show.

Boy Abunda also interviewed Vice Ganda who also recalled that the concert started around nine or half past nine of April 24, 2010 and ended around midnight. He also confirmed Vhong's participation in the concert just like what Villanueva said. Watch the said interview here.

The balanced reporting of Buzz ng Bayan was lauded by netizens, who were enlightened about this new rape case filed by Roxanne against Vhong. Some netizens also expressed their disgust on Roxanne Cabanero, who according to them was lying based on the evidences presented.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Roxanne Cabanero challenged Vhong to prove where he was on the night she was allegedly rape before she respond to new developments on the case.

Kris Aquino to Transfer to GMA Network this 2014

Queen of All Media Kris Aquino is 90% sure that she will transfer to rival network GMA-7 in 2014, a source told The Philippine Star columnist Salve Asis. 

The source said that Kris will be a Kapuso very soon and that "no amount of pressure from anybody" can hinder her decision to switch networks. The source added that Kris can't say no to the "professional and financial side" of the offer, the reason she has made up her mind to do network transfer.

According to reports, Kris has already talked with GMA Network's majority share owner Atty. Felipe Gozon, and Smart's Manny V. Pangilinan, who is currently negotiating to buy the share of the former. Rumor has it that when the buy-out prosper, MVP will make Kris the president of the network.

Sources also said that there's a high possibility that Kris Aquino will do the TV adaptation of the box office movie My Little Bossings in the Kapuso network, of course with Vic Sotto and Ryzza Mae Dizon.

Kris Aquino's contract with ABS-CBN expired last October and currently Kris is on a vacation in London with sons Josh and Bimby. According to Kris, leaving the country is also her way of evading intrigues.

"Para iwas intriga na rin muna kasi napapabalita 'yung pagre-renew [ng contract]. Magmumuni-muni po at aalis," she told ABS-CBN News.

It can be recalled that Kris Aquino was among the original hosts of the '90s Kapuso showbiz-oriented talk show Startalk along with Boy Abunda. The two later transferred to ABS-CBN and hosted The Buzz.

Billy Crawford Reveals Reason for Break up with Nikki Gil on The Buzz (July 28)

International performer Billy Crawford finally broke his silence on his break up with Nikki Gil when he sat in an exclusive interview with host Boy Abunda on The Buzz Sunday, July 28.

Early this week, reports of Billy and Nikki's separation surprised everyone (read report here) followed by the confirmation from the couple's management. However, the two were mum on the issue until Billy's guesting on The Buzz to clarify the issue once and for all.

An emotional Billy Crawford confirmed the break up to host Boy Abunda. However, he denied that a third party is involved. He said that he was lost and needed to find himself first.

"Nawawala ako. I'm very lost, very confused. Walang kinalaman si Nikki. It all boils down to me," said Billy. "When it comes to finding the right one, it's hard to find the right one kung ikaw mismo not right. I forgot what makes me happy. I forgot who I am. I don't know what I'm doing."

"She has no fault. I'm not a perfect guy nor a perfect person. I've done some things that I regret. She's supportive, she was there but I'm the one who's completely lost and I'm searching, find myself."

Billy said that he never wanted to do the interview but he just needed to clarify all the issue and clear all speculations before he leave for the US on August 3 to spend the much-needed time with his family. He also said that he still love Nikki, who he said fought hard for the relationship.

"Honestly Tito boy, it's so hard to love someone and to continue if I don't even love myself, if I am unhappy. I lover her, I still do but it's unfair to continue. I don't want to continue to hurt her. [I did not fell out of love], I just fell out of the face of the earth."

"I feel such a bad person to be honest. Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough. Importante pala na mahanap mo ang sarili mo muna. Kung maligaya ka, mas madaling magpaligaya ng ibang tao. The latter part of our relationship, hindi ko siya napaligaya. Nasaktan ko siya," Billy told Boy when asked what he learned from the relationship.

Billy said that his The Buzz interview will be the first and the last time that he will be talking about the issue. When asked what his prayer would be, Billy said, "Save me. I feel like the devil's really strong and I feel defeated. All I can ask for is forgiveness."

"Only God knows [if this is really the end of my relationship with Nikki]."

Billy ended his interview with this one very short message for Nikki Gil: "I hope you understand."

BOY Why are you breaking your silence now? Bakit ka nagsasalita ngayon? CHARICE Andami ko pong hininging sign, totoo po pala yung pag nafeel mo po... Sa ilang taon ko rin po na parang madami po akong ginawa para sa mga tao na mahal ko, sa mga pamilya ko, ginawa ko po para sa kanila, ngayon ko po talaga nafeel na this time gusto ko naman gawin para sa sarili ko BOY Ito yung mga signs na iyon, yung mga signs na pinanggalingan kung bakit magkaharap tayo ngayon CHARICE Opo.

Pero I have to give her credit na talagang tinatry po niya na intindihin yung sitwasyon kaya po sinasabi ko po na opo nagkaaway po kami pero normal lang po yun.  BOY Lola mo? Kayo ba ng lola mo ay magkagalit? CHARICE Sa totoo lang po hindi naman po. Alam ko po may nakita po akong interview po niya pero hindi po kami magkaaway kasi una po sa lahat hindi pa naman kami nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon na magkausap kami ng lola ko. Siguro po siyempre may sarili naman pong opinyon ang lola ko at tinatanggap ko rin po yun. Kaya noong napanuod ko po yung interview niya, naiintindihan ko naman po at hindi kami magkaaway. BOY Sino si Robert Ybera? CHARICE Ninong ko po siya! Marami po akong nakita na comments niya, na sinabi niya sa media, sa mga tao. Pero tito boy nirerespeto ko siya. Nirerespeto ko siya as a person. As my ninong. Malaki yung utang na loob ko sa kanya honestly. BOY Hindi ka galit sa kanya? CHARICE Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ako galit sa kanya! Kahit na isipin ko po na dapat akong magalit dahil sa mga sinabi niya, pero hindi, nagstay po kami sa bahay niya, mga small things kasi siya nagturo sa akin magdrive. Basta ang sa akin lang po kilala niya ako bilang isang tao, at kilala ko po siya at nirerespeto ko siya malaki ang utang na loob ko sa kanya. BOY Naging usap usapan umalis ka ng bahay may mga gumamit ng salita na naglayas ka ng bahay ito ba ay totoo? CHARICE Naglayas… hindi ko po… naglayas… hindi ko po alam kung anong sasabihin ko diyan. Umalis po ako nang bahay opo. Pero alam ko po na parang alam din naman ni mommy noon, na doon din darating sa point na yun. Umalis po ako dahil hindi ayoko na roon, umalis ako dahil yun yung kailangan kong gawin… BOY Charice ang tanong ng lahat ngayon ay nasaan ka ngayon, saan ka nakatira dito sa pilipinas? Sino ang itinuturing mong pamilya? Lalo na itong panahon na mahirap ang iyong pinagdaraanan. CHARICE Ngayon po nagsestay po ako dito po sa Laguna po sa Cabuyao... Nagsestay po ako sa isang pamilya na hindi ko po ineexpect na makikipagsapalaran din... BOY Susugal? CHARICE Susugal as in! would take a bullet for me. Kaya noong birthday ko, napakaswerte ko na may mga ganong tao! Kasi sa sitwasyon ko ngayon Tito Boy hindi ko ineexpect yung… ang hirap magtrust! (tears up) Ang hirap maghanap ng taong ganon. Pero again hinayaan ko ang diyos na bigyan ako ng sign bigyan ako ng kung sino ang pwedeng tumulong sa akin. Nandito sila sa Laguna, sina mommy ina, sina daddy george, sina kuya glen. Matagal na po kaming magkakakilala. Bata pa po ako eh kaya po noong pagdating ko na sa bahay noong araw na yun, na-feel ko po yung kumportable po talaga ako. BOY dito you’re home no? CHARICE opo. Ngayon ko po masasabi na, na pag pumasok ako sa isang bahay pwede akong humiga, na sabihing “hay, pagod na ako.” Pwede ko lahat gawin, pwede akong magbaliw-baliwan, pwede kong ipakita kung sino si charice sa harap nila, nang walang manghuhusga. BOY that’s what you call home. Ano ang nais mong sabihin sa kanila? To your family, to your home here? CHARICE sa pangalawang pamilya ko po, yung pasasalamat, parang feeling ko na hindi pa po sapat yun sa mga ginawa nila para sa akin. Isang buwan na po ako nandito pero parang years na po akong nagsestay rito. Yun po ang pinafeel nila sa akin, gusto ko po sabihin talaga sa harap ng maraming tao na nagpapasalamat po ako sa kanila. Sana po, huwag sila mag-isip ng against sa kanila, kasi kung hindi po dahil sa kanila wala po ako ngayon. Siguro po sobrang depressed ako kaya nagpapasalamat po ako. BOY umaasa ka ba charice na mabibigyan kayo ng pagkakataon ng lola, ni robert at nanay mo na makapagusap ng tahimik? CHARICE siguro po naniniwala po ako roon. Lagi ko naman po tinatry na isipin na positive lahat na eventually lahat magiging okay. BOY iba pang pinag-uusapan, may mga haka-haka ngayon na diumano’y wala nang karera si charice.

Laughs Parang naging joke na po yan dito noong nalaman nila yun. Natawa na rin po ako kasi narealize ko na ang hirap pala, pag nagtry kang magpakababa may comment pa rin. Yung nakikita nila ako sa labas gumagala ako ganyan – ganoon po talaga ako! I’d rather do that kesa na maging pasosyal ako na ayokong lumabas o ayokong magpainit – nanunuod ako ng liga ng basketball dahil yan po ang hilig ko ngayon! Yun po yung gusto kong gawin. BOY pagusapan natin yung karera – diumano’y wala nang karera si charice, sa mga tagahanga na gustong malaman ang nangyayari sa iyong karera.

BOY in other words, may mga nangyayari sa iyong karera? CHARICE siyempre po para naman dito sa mga fans ko sa philipines, we’re still working on doing my third album in the philippines, na para lang po sa kanilang lahat! BOY basically what we’re trying to say here is lalo para sa iyong mga tagahanga yes, my career is undercontrol, my career is doing okay. BOY ito na yung pinaka-aantay ng sambayanang pilipino, ito yung pinakakontrobersyal, dito ako nagpapasalamat dahil buong tapang at buong tiwala mo ibahahagi sa amin kung ano ang iyong kwento. Noong lumabas ang iyong mga larawan sa social networks, maraming tanong, maraming mga haka-haka, tungkol sa mga pagbabago ng appearance mo, pananamit, buhok, pati na ang iyong mga kilos. Bakit nagbago ito? May mga speculations na si charice nagrerebelde, si charice ay naghahanap ng atensyon. What do you wanna say? CHARICE hindi ko po alam ang ieexplain ko kasi lahat ng ginawa ko yung nagpatattoo ako yung nagpagupit ako – lahat po iyon choices na ginusto ko po, na alam ko pong very risky. Pero ginawa ko po dahil yun ang gusto ko po. hindi po dahil sa nagrerebelde ako hindi po dahil sa nasaktan ako ng isang tao or nasaktan ako ng pamilya ko or emotionally depressed ako dahil ginawa ko yun, dahil yun po ang gusto ko. BOY mahirap itong itanong, I don’t know how to phrase this… only because ako’y naniniwala that you don’t owe anybody any explanation. Naniniwala ako na walang kinalaman sa talento ang usapin na may kinalaman sa sexual orientation at gender identity. Pero kinakailangang itanong kaya itatanong ko... Simple lang, charice, are you a lesbian? CHARICE tito boy meron po akong chance na gawin po lahat ng ito internationally BOY chance ibig sabihin itong paguusap na ito doesn’t have to happen here in the philippines? CHARICE pero pinili ko po rito dahil malaki po ang utang na loob ko sa mga pilipino dahil nafeel ko na gusto kong sila yung makaalam kung anuman po ako, kung sinuman po ako… CHARICE Opo, tomboy po ako. Hindi ko po alam kung ano ang problema nun. Kasi para po sa akin wala pong problema yun. Ngayon gusto ko pong humingi ng patawad sa mga hindi po nakaintindi, sa mga hindi po ako matatanggap. Sorry po. Naiintindihan ko po kayo. Pero sa lahat ng makakatanggap, matatanggap po ako maraming maraming salamat po. CHARICE pero sa ginagawa kong ito, gusto ko lang na sabihin sa inyo na, ang gaan ng pakiramdam ngayon. (tears up, voice slightly breaks) na makakalabas ako ng bahay na wala akong itatago, na wala akong masasagasaang tao! Dahil wala akong tinatago! Sorry mommy, carl – pero ito ako. Proud ako sa sarili ko mahal ko ang sarili ko kaya ko po ginagawa ito. Sa mga fans ko, alam ko na marami sa inyo na alam ko marami sa inyo disappointed, alam ko nga ilan sa inyo siguro tatalikuran na ako. Sorry. Alam niyo na sincere akong tao, from the bottom of my heart, I’m sorry. Naiintindihan ko. BOY charice gusto ko lamang iklaro, nagsosorry ka not because you’re a lesbian. Nagsosorry ka lamang because? CHARICE alam ko po na nasaktan silang lahat. BOY nasaktan sila na nag-out ka, at hindi nila inexpect. At sa ating kultura, hindi ito ang normal at usual na paraan dahil kadalasan ay itinatago para matuwa ang publiko ang fans, pero pinili mo magsabi ng totoo, pinili mo magsabi ng totoo dahil yun ang tama. Do you hope na isang araw, makapagtrabaho tayo sa isang bansa, sa isang mundo, sa isang industriya na hindi tinitignan ang kasarian, kundi talento? CHARICE naniniwala po akong someday… darating po yan, mahirap lang ngayon. Naniniwala akong someday lahat po tayo lalabas at magtatrabaho na pantay pantay lang. Kaya nga minsan sinasabi na “are you gay?” “what are you straight?” pareho lang naman yun e. BOY how do you feel? Do you feel free? CHARICE sobra po. BOY ipupush ko lang nang kaunti, now that you’ve said you are a lesbian – nagkaroon ka na ba ng mga relasyon sa kapwa babae? CHARICE opo naman! Siyempre po hindi ko naman masasabi kung sino yung mga nakaraan, pero opo naman naexperience ko na po yan. BOY pero tago ka nang tago CHARICE tago po! (laughs) BOY the last time I saw you, you were with chesa. Did you have a relationship with her? CHARICE ah opo, hindi joke lang po laughs.

Gerald Anderson Won't Stop Pursuing Maja Salvador Despite Negative Issues

Gerald Anderson, in his exclusive The Buzz interview on Sunday, January 13 said that he wanted to court Maja Salvador if he will be given the chance.

In the said interview by The Buzz host Boy Abunda, Gerald said that the alleged Misibis Bay dating photos of him and Maja were blown out of proportion. He clarified that he and Maja went there as friends. Maja was there with her cousins for a bridal shower while Gerald also gathered his friends for vacation.

In the course of the getaway, Gerald admitted that he saw Maja in a different way. "During po sa ibang activities po namin, yung swimming, yung mga ginagawa ng mga tao sa beach parang nakita ko sa kanya na parang masaya siyang kasama. Yung charming, mabait yun nga nag-eenjoy akong kasama siya," Gerald told Boy.

Since he and Maja are both single, Gerald didn't see anything wrong about asking the actress going out but before they even had the chance to go on a date, people already had bad words to say. "But if are you asking me na [nililigawan si Maja], yeah I love to kung bibigyan nya ko ng chance," Gerald added.

The issue became sensationalized since Maja is Kim's bestfriend and confidante when the latter and Gerald broke up three years ago and for others, it will hurt when your bestfriend will be pursued by your ex. The actor, however hopes that the alleged rift between Maja and Kim will be healed in time.

When asked if he will stop pursuing Maja amid all the negative issues, Gerald said, "No. You know... tulad po ng sinabi ko di po ako bata and I make decisions on my own kumbaga mali man yun o tama, panininidigan ko."
